or stop by and see them today. Ten eighty five,
North Carolina sixty nine in Hayesville. It's hard to believe
it's already Monday, isn't it? Did your weekend fly by?
My weekend flew by?
Speaker 3 (05:53):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (05:53):
But it's because I was doing things right. Saturday we
decided to, uh to paint our shutters, and like our
house is, I don't know, twelve years old, so it's
kind of like your pillow, right when you see it
all the time, or you use it all the time.
You don't realize how bad your pillow is until you
(06:14):
get a new and then you're like, holy cow, no wonder,
I wasn't sleeping. Same thing with your shutters. The west
side of our house. The shutters day, the evening sun
had taken its toll, especially on one one pair but
I didn't realize how bad they were until we painted. Now,
to be fair, we changed the color, but yeah, it
(06:35):
looks like a totally different house now. But anyway, so Saturday,
my son, he was all excited all week about he
was going to help and we were going to paint
the shutters and you know, put them back up. And
so Saturday came, I went to the local big box
store to get the paint, came home and I had
already taken them off Friday evening, so I was ready. Right,
(06:58):
he comes out and he's all gung ho to help. Now,
let me tell you something. I think I'm like a
lot of dads and a lot of men, where you
just wanted to get the project, whatever it is, you
just want to get it done right, Like I'll do it.
I'll get it done and move on. But Saturday, I
(07:19):
was proud of myself as well as proud of my
son because he was willing to learn. But I had
patience to be like, look, I know it's going to
take longer with him. And it's not like he's a toddler,
all right, he's fifteen, but we were doing things. He's
never painted to shutter, he's never used spray paint and
stuff like that. So anyway, it was tell you longer
(07:42):
because I was trying to show him the technique and
how you have to be smooth and quick with your
motions so you don't have puddling and running and all that.
But I kept telling myself, look, this is your project
for the day. If this takes all day, so be it.
And as it warmed up more, the other part of
me said, look, we gotta get this done before Satan's
(08:03):
armpit shows itself, and it's coming fast. But we got
it done and it looks fantastic, and he and I
had a great time together.
Speaker 3 (08:12):
We didn't argue.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
There were a few times where I asked him, now,
why are you doing that, you know, or why didn't
you do this? But it wasn't like scolding or anything
like that. So it ended up being a good little
time with my boy. We got stuff accomplished. The house
looks good. He feels good that he's learning stuff. I
feel good that I'm teaching him stuff.
Speaker 3 (08:35):
And we didn't fight. That's a good day.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
That is a good day. Then yesterday I was smoking
ribs all day. Let me tell you something, y'all. I'm
gonna pat myself on the back. Best ribs I've ever done.
They were great six hours even never get back, but
some things are worth it. That was my weekend. How

(12:07):
artificial feelings. Go to w dot gg today save ten
percent off of your entire order when you use promo
code traft talk and without further ado, here is today's
traf track. Time for news or nonsense. And after a
week of doing this, I've decided that that news are nonsense.
(12:30):
You decide if it's news or nonsense. It's not my
job to tell you what you should believe. In fact,
I'm trying to get away from that kind of media,
so I'm just gonna report you decide now. With that
in mind, a year ago, on the Morning buzz I
told you about this hard working immigrant who created the
Trump Burger in Houston, Texas to celebrate all things Donald Trump.
(12:54):
Let's see it was. Yeah, here's what the Trump Tower
Burger was. We talked about this a year ago. If
you listen, or maybe a little longer, I don't know,
but it was sixteen ounce ANGUS b fource slices, y
and yellow American cheese, lettuce, tomato, onion pickle, and mao
and their homemade barbecue sauce. Well, it is with a
(13:17):
deep sense of irony that I have to report that
the owner of Trump Burger is apparently an illegal alien
and is being deported.
Speaker 3 (13:27):
The owner of Trump.
Speaker 2 (13:28):
Burger has been arrested by ICE for overstaying his visa
and is now facing deportation proceedings. This per the Associated Press.
Now I wonder if he's still a Trump guy. Here's
a click to Houston with the story. Rolling Marez Baney,
owner of the recently opened Trump Burger restaurant in Houston,
(13:50):
is currently facing deportation after failing to leave the US
on time and being arrested by US Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
ICE confirmed that aged twenty eight, originally from Lebanon, entered
the United States in twenty nineteen on a non immigrant
visitor at visa, but failed to depart as required by
(14:10):
February twelfth, twenty twenty four. So I have questions he
was here on a tourist visa, but he he overstayed.
Is welcome and open the business. How do you You're
here on a tourist visa, but you can get a
(14:31):
bank loan, rent a store, get insurance and open an LLC.
How does that happen? But anyway, we move on. I
wonder if he's still a Trump supporter. I doubt it.
But here's the thing. If someone brings it up to Trump,
(14:51):
he can just say, well, look, this just goes to
show where after all illegals, not just certain ones, even
though he has said that well, if they work in
hotel or.
Speaker 3 (15:02):
Farms, we're probably going to leave them. So who knows
what's happening there. But there you go. That is a
news or nonsense. You decide.
Speaker 2 (15:12):
Do you remember the reality show Johnny Kate plus eight
had the husband and wife and they had two kids,
and then they had six at one time, the sex tuplets,
And remember if you watched it, you knew this is.
Speaker 3 (15:26):
Not a healthy marriage.
Speaker 2 (15:27):
Well, things went really bad and Colin Gosling, known from
the reality show, shared a heartfelt TikTok post last week
reflecting on his strained relationship with his seven siblings due
to their time in the spotlight. The twenty one year
Wow They're twenty one now twenty one year old posted
a throwback photo with twins Maddie and Kara and sex
(15:50):
tuplets Alex, Hannah, Aiden, Leah, and Joel, lamenting how fame
forced him apart and pitted them against each other. He
expressed love for his siblings and sadness over lost memories,
while alleging past physical and emotional abuse from his mother
Kate Yep No surprise there, including being isolated in a
locked basement room as a child. Colin, now strange from Kate,
(16:14):
also responded to comments, noting he recently saw his sister
Hannah hopes to raise his future kids to value sibling bonds.
Kate's attorney has defended her, declining to comment on the allegations,
while sister Maddie previously accues Colin of threatening behavior. Just
goes to show Fame's not what it's all cracked up
to be.

Speaker 2 (17:26):
Our loser for today comes from Saint Petersburg, Florida. Our loser,
John Dempsey, was in need of transportation It's always Florida,
isn't it, and proven once again that you can get
anything you need at Walmart. He headed to the store
and drove off in one of their motorized cards. How
(17:47):
drunk was he to figure out or to have this
idea that, you know what, I'm going to go get
one of those motorized shopping cards. Now, things were going
well as he headed down the road. He made it
almost a mile before he does something seemed to be wrong. Well,
maybe this thing's low on fuel, so he stopped at
a convenience store and was trying to figure out a
(18:07):
way to recharge it when the cops were called. He
was busted, charged with death and indeed dui drunk while
operating a motorized shopping cart. That's got to be the
highlight of his life, right, don't you know? Mama is
so proud of John.

Speaker 3 (19:11):
He said, I mean what's to deal with that?

by Hacienda La rald In Bouquette, Cherokee, yep.
Speaker 3 (30:04):
Don't look it up.
Speaker 2 (30:05):
I nailed that it was purchased by a buyer from Dubai,
marking a new high in the global coffee industry. The
Panamanian newspaper La Prensa reported, y'all again, you thought eight
bucks for a cup of coffee was high, and I agree.
Thirteen thousand dollars for a pound no tanks almost fourteen
(30:26):
grand for a pound. In the natural Gesha category, also
from the same place, a buyer from China paid twenty
three thousand, six hundred and eight per kilogram, or that's
ten thousand, seven hundred and nine dollars per pound, while
in the variet old category, a lot of the Lorena
variety sold for three thousand, six hundred and forty seven
(30:49):
dollars per pound. That's your discount there, that's your discount coffee.
That's the old McDonald's black coffee for fifty cents. In total,
thirty of the fifty lots all offer exceeded a thousand
dollars per kilogram, or roughly four hundred and fifty four
dollars per pound. I'm not look, I don't even drink
(31:10):
much coffee now thanks to Dubby, but there's no way
I think some of now that one guy was from Dubai,
and that's everybody knows, that's where the money is. I
think some people they will pay these ridiculous prices for
this stuff, coffee, for other things we've talked about before,
just because they can and just because they could be like, yeah,
I spent ten grand.
Speaker 3 (31:30):
On that coffee per pound.
Speaker 2 (31:33):
I know this, If if I spend that much on coffee,
there's not going to be accidentally setting my coffee cup
down and go about my day and my coffee just
sitting there just ruining. Nope, news or nonsense.
Speaker 3 (31:49):
Time headline reads ride or injured.
Speaker 2 (31:51):
It's glass pane falls out of water slide on Royal
Caribbean cruise ship. And I say it's Caribbean because you
don't say pirates of the Caribbean. It's Pirates of the Caribbean.
That's how I know I'm saying it correctly.
Speaker 3 (32:05):
Caribbean. Listen, they'll this is a new source of fear. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (32:11):
What happened is you know these water slides and they
have clear panels so you can see people sometimes shoot
through them. Well, one of those clear panels fell out, y'all. No, no, no, no, no.
When my family and I think it was last summer
we went to a water park resort thing and my
(32:33):
son there was one particular he went once, I think,
and it beat him to death. But he shot straight
down and like where it curved, it wasn't clear where
basically he would have had the most gravity and all that.
It was one of those hard you know, I don't
know what color it was, but the hard to being.
But I got to think, and those clear ones, I thought,
(32:55):
there's no way that they are strong.
Speaker 3 (32:57):
And apparently I was right. Could you imagine?
Speaker 2 (33:02):
Oh, a water slide on the Royal Caribbean's Icon of
the Sea underwent some technical difficulties last week and sounds
like a rider took a beating on the way down. Uh,
you were probably gonna take a beating anyway, much less
when the thing falls out. Video shows the chaos on
the Icon of the Seas after a glass panel on
(33:24):
water slides shattered mid ride during one guest, injuring one
guests and sending water pouring into the public area. Now,
the water cascading down would be the least of my worries. Now,
it's not clear if someone fell out of the slide
or not. But a glass panel broke while someone was
riding and he definitely ended up injured. So but still
(33:48):
if he fell out or not, because now in my
mind I'm thinking that could what if I fall What
if I that happens to me and I fall out?
In this from CBS News. In a statement, Royal Caravan confirmed,
now I know they pronounce it Caribbean. Okay, that whole
thing I was just I was just joking around with
(34:08):
you all, but I do say Caribbean. Royal Caravan confirmed
that an adult guest was injured when the acrylic glass
broke off in the slide while the guest was inside.
Our team provided medical care to an adult guest when
acrylic glass broke off a water slide as the guests
passed through the slide. Spoke One spokesperson said the guest
is being treated for his injuries. The water slide is
(34:31):
closed for the remainder of the sailing of pending and investigation. Yeah,
that's probably fair. The ship is docking in Miami. It
did dock in Miami over the weekend, and Royal Caribbean
says they'll investigate the cause of the failure. I I
don't know if I don't know what the size of
(34:53):
the person was if you're asking, so just just remember that.
Now this comes just weeks after the icon was in
the news for two South African crew members who got
into a brawl resulting in one death. You know, I
keep seeing more and more stories about these cruises and
how they go south. I think I'll stick to a
(35:14):
pontoon boat on a lake. News or Nonsense Time headline reads,
FBI arrests Boston area sheriff on federal extortion charges related
to cannabis dispensary.
Speaker 3 (35:29):
Oh what a.
Speaker 2 (35:30):
Tangle web we weave. Now, this seems like kind of
a big deal. This from FBI Boston. As a result
of an FBI Boston investigation, Suffolk County Sheriff Stephen Tompkins
has been taken into custody in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, for
allegedly extorting fifty thousand dollars from the owner of a
national cannabis retail company seeking to do business in Boston.
Speaker 3 (35:54):
Hmm, this is uh, why was it in Florida?
Speaker 2 (36:00):
Vacation maybe or maybe business dealings. Here's a release from
the FBI from his very first day as Suffolk County Sheriff,
Stephen Thompkins sought to portray himself as a man of
the people, a principal public servant and reformer devoted to
the cause of justice. That's why it's beyond disappointing that
he's now accused of gaming a system instituted in the
(36:23):
interest of public safety and fair play. The FBI took
Sheriff Thompkins into custody for allegedly extorting fifty thousand dollars
from the owner of a national cannabis retailer seeking to
do business in Boston. We believe what the sheriff saw
was an easy way to make a quick buck on
the sly is clear cut corruption under federal law. Citizens
(36:45):
of Suffolk County deserve better, not a man who is
accused of trading on his position to bankroll his own
political and financial future. Public servants must be held to
the highest of ethical standards, and the falling short will
be rooted out. Well we'll see, But I mean, I
agree with that. I don't think it's happening. But anyway,
(37:08):
so this is the same guy who cut ties with
ice in Suffolk County back in twenty eighteen. While some
people are reporting that this is somehow connected to ice,
it doesn't actually seem to be a prosecutor said that
in twenty twenty, Tompkins pressured the company for stock as
it began to prepare for an initial public offering. Foley
(37:31):
said that an executive feared Tompkins would use his position
to jeopardize the partnership with his department and therefore the
dispensary license if the sheriff did not obtain stock. Good
old politician, sheriff, police chief, mayor, senator, representative, whoever. At
every level, you see where people are padding their own
(37:55):
pockets using their power. I couldn't say that again if
I try that, people see already forgot what I said.
But I don't think you should be surprised anymore. Nothing
shocks me anymore when it comes to political figure on
any level what they will do.
Speaker 3 (38:15):
Corruption.
Speaker 2 (38:17):
You know what we used to we thought, well, yeah,
of course, national elections, national politicians, they're corrupt, but the
locals not anymore. And I'm not saying any specific local
politician here in our area is corrupt. I'm just saying
it's no longer shielded. And I know some of you
saying there's never been the good old boy system been.
Speaker 3 (38:39):
I get it.
Speaker 2 (38:39):
I get it, I get it, okay, but it's just
like everyone in it, from a city to a national level.
Now think that, well, I'm gonna elected official, I can
do whatever. Well apparently not. Bravo FBI Boston. Time for
