Lots of things NOT to worry about today:

Looks as though Hawaii did a good job getting the warnings out for a potential tsunami and people listened. Not without some controversy though, as Oprah took some heat for not opening up her private road for evacuees early enough.

Headlines about a killer asteroid headed toward the moon in 2032 made headlines....until you dig deeper and realize its chance of affecting us are very slim. Fear distraction?

And ICE-T looked weak as he tried to talk tough about President Trump on the Warped Tour. If you laugh at these twisted celebrities it takes the power away from them.

Speaker 1 (00:03):
And ay Wicked awesome Wednesday morning for me watching and
listening later on. It's some kind of time for you,
my friends. Welcome here, Thanks for being here. Appreciate you
as always for the Wicked Radio live stream. What do
we have going on today? What is happening? Oh my god,
killer asteroids, killer tsunamis, celebrities want to take down President Trump. Well,
my message to you is I wouldn't worry about any

(00:24):
of this stuff now on like the weather stuff. You
don't want to like downgrade that or not take it seriously.
But it looks like everything's going to be okay. There's
some good news on this stuff, and we'll get to it.
Thanks for being here. Thanks for finding the live stream
and also on the replay, which is where most of
you find it later on, which makes sense on x
it lives on there or any of the social media
platforms and the audio podcast. If you're listening right now

(00:46):
on whatever platform you'll like, just press subscribes and we
know when. We got some stuff going on. But thanks
for being here. Let's get to it. So we all
heard about the big tsunami that was happening on They
could affect the west coast of the United States, but
also Hawaii was in direct path of being affected by
this thing. Here's what caused it. An eight point eight
earthquake hit Russia, so tsunami warning evacuations were in effect

(01:09):
for the coasts of the Hawaiian Islands and all that
good stuff. Let's get to the good news. And I
think this is a good takeaway because God knows, the
state of Hawaii has had some warning problems before with
their emergency systems. We all know that, right, do you
remember a couple of years ago, was it twenty seventeen?
They actually, I shouldn't laugh, but this was so insane.

(01:29):
They actually sent out a false alert to everybody on
TV and on their cell phones that a missile attack
was incoming because it was sent out erroneously. And then
the TV reporters did a follow up story in the
emergency operations center where they tried to tell them everything
was okay, but they zoomed in on somebody's desk and
they had the password right there on a post it

(01:51):
note to the to the emergency. Yeah. I don't know
what's going on in that state, but it seems to
be okay. This was from earlier this morning, our time
in the East coast or they are now with the
warnings of the watch.

Speaker 2 (02:03):
Hey, the Pacificly Tsunami Warning Center has downgraded the forecast
from sonami warning to a tsunami advisory. The PTWC continues
to monitor from more data to update it, to update
this forecast and for it all clear that they.

Speaker 1 (02:17):
Made issue later on excellent. It seems to be, you know,
from afar just watching this thing. I didn't see any
massive damage and see any big problems. It looks like
their warnings and watches work. They got their system together. Good,
good for Hawaii, good for them, good for those people.
A lot without controversy though Cee. You know, Oprah owns
a big chunk of Hawaii, and in fact, she has

(02:38):
her own private road, and this became a big source
of controversy. And I have to say some fake news
involved with this too. It's all mixed in together. So
as I understand it, as I was looking at this
this morning, her private road cuts across a path that
would have saved people a lot of you know, evacuation
time to get right to inland from the coast. But

(03:00):
it's a private road, so it was still closed. Here's
the controversial part, they had cops protecting the private road
while people were trying to evacuate. Now, the fake news
out there is and I bought into it too at first,
was that Oprah refuse to open the road. Now, once
the tsunami warnings were issued, she opened it right up

(03:21):
and she allowed people to pass through. But not until then,
And people are still mad that. They said, Hey, this
private citizens road was protected by cops. They should be
protecting us as we're trying to get off the I
get inland. Apparently, like this guy said in his I
don't know, it's like a TikToker Instagram video, but he
describes the scene pretty cool.

Speaker 2 (03:40):
Look at this, I think they're trying to open Oprah's road.

Speaker 1 (03:43):
This road it does cut right across here. It comes.

Speaker 3 (03:48):
Come on, Oprah, save us road to all the way
up country, bro, all the way up countries.

Speaker 1 (03:54):
She got it all to herself and everybody trying to
get in and cops trying to open it. Yeah, Nope,
still closed again. Apparently this is confirmed now she did
open it up and allowed that to happen to get
people to evacuate once the tsunami warnings were issued. I
guess that was the call. I don't know, should she
open up before that? I guess so it is a

(04:14):
private road. Kind of interesting. I did see exactly from
that guy's video though, the amount of cops that were
protecting the entrance to her road. Wow, that was you know,
where's the pants in that state? Apparently it's Oprah But
good seems to be okay so far. You got to
listen to this though. This is amazing. This has so
many little elements in it. You got this TV reporter.

(04:36):
This is a guy from Khon. He's a reporter in
Honolului who went to an area in Waikiki with the
apartment buildings. Now I can relate to this, and you
probably can't too, if you've ever been in a hurricane
situation where people have hurricane parties or I guess out
there they have tsunami parties. But you can hear, I

(04:57):
can detect the disappointment in the reporter's voice when nothing
was really happening except the parties. So here's the guy,
the reporter. They sent him out to a balcony apparently
on Ykiki to cover this thing, and it wasn't. Thankfully,
it wasn't exactly the tsunami problem. That they expected. But
you can hear the amount of people partying in the background,

(05:17):
which is I'm not laughing at that. You shouldn't. You
should take this stuff seriously. But still you can hear
the disappointment.

Speaker 3 (05:23):
It's kind of wild to see all these people here.
I can tell you. At the hotels there are lots
of people on their balconies checking out what is supposed
to have come. But yeah, everyone's just kind of anxiously
awaiting to see what's gonna come. When you can see listen,
I think you can hear a lot of people yelling
in the background.

Speaker 1 (05:44):
Lots of people front.

Speaker 3 (05:45):
Row seats here to see to watch, anxiously awaiting the tsunami.
And uh, yeah, that's kind of it.

Speaker 1 (05:56):
What a wrap up to the report? Hey guys have
live TV. Yeah, that's that's kind of it. All right,
back to you in the studio. Tell me it doesn't
sound disappointed that he didn't have a tsunami disaster to
report on. That's TV news, that's just what it is.
They love the hysteria. But you could hear the people
partying in the background. I think they had a sense
that they were going to be okay before that guy

(06:17):
did So listen, let's take the good news where it
was their detection, their alert systems worked, Oprah finally opened
up a road, and at least so far anyway, no
major disaster. So that's good. Let's think our lucky stars.
But they've man. They do love to hype it up,
don't they. Speaking of hyping it up, did you see
all the news yesterday about the killer asteroid that's gotta

(06:41):
hit us? Apparently? Boy, if you just follow mainstream media,
they have your running for shelter right now, for I
gotta get this right now. Asteroid twenty twenty four. Why
are four which is supposed to hit the moon in
twenty thirty too? Oh my god? So apparently, and this

(07:04):
is your first piece of suspicion. Apparently the New York
Times had the headline and promoted this yesterday. They have
been watching this thing. They have been watching this thing
and upping the odds for this thing to hit. But
it just wasn't the New York Times. Let's not just
pick on them, Come on, now, it was other mainstream outlets,
including the sometimes reliable New York Post. This is their
headline yesterday. You ready tell me this isn't fear porn.

(07:27):
Massive asteroid on potential impact path with the Moon could
trigger destructive meteor shower on Earth. Dun, dun, dun. You
know again, not like you should not take this seriously
at all. You should look into it. But isn't that
the key? You should look into it because many fact
check sources. I looked at about fifteen myself on this

(07:48):
before I got on here and started blabbing about this.
What's the rail impact? What is it really? Because they
don't tell you till you dig down deep into the story.
Now we know most people just go by the headline, right,
because that's the clickbait. That's why they such scary headlines
out there. What's the real thing? And this is kind
of like a synopsis of everything that I was able
to find and you can find too, and probably already have.

(08:09):
Asteroid twenty twenty four yr four has a three percent
chance of lunar impact. Well, that's a lot different than
the headline in twenty thirty two per NASA data. Potentially,
I think they actually should have capitalized potentially because that's
a big potentially causing a meteor shower. It'd be spectacular

(08:33):
but harmless to Earth's surface. That part I got from GROC.
The other part was like compiled from other NASA sources.
Earth's surface mainly a risk to satellites. According to CNN
and Live Science, they were the main sources there. So okay,
so you got some major media outlets calling it a

(08:54):
killer asteroid. That's where I got the headline from. It
wouldn't hit until twenty thirty two the Moon, apparently, And
it's a three percent chance of hitting actually three point
three points something. Let's call it four. Let's give them
the benefit of the doubt. Let's call the killer asteroid
a four percent chance of hitting the Moon in twenty
thirty two. That means a ninety six percent chance of

(09:15):
nothing happening. Also, and I think this is the more
important data on this. According to NASA, it would mean
potentially even less than that pieces of it coming to Earth.
The chances of it actually hitting Earth before they burned up.
The pieces of this thing would be astronomically slim, but
we would get an awesome meteor shower out of it.

(09:36):
Now you got to ask yourself, so, why is so?
Why is all this fear porn about asteroids coming out? Now?

Speaker 3 (09:42):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (09:43):
I don't know. Let's look back I'm reck recognizing a pattern.
You know, whenever they have the most crazy space stories
or insane potential things or it's true, go back to
all the climate scare right, all the sea levels arising.
Remember Al Gore telling us Miami was going to be
gone by twenty twenty or is it twenty something, I
don't know, but by now Miami was supposed to be

(10:04):
gone underwater. Oh, the scare tactics, right, why do they
come out now? The pattern that I've recognized over the years,
without specific examples, is they come out with the scariest, kookiest,
potentially disastrous stories when the craziest things happen in the
swamp of Washington, DC, which tends to make you believe. Again,

(10:28):
let me throw this out there as a caveat, don't
like disregard all this stuff, like be potentially aware of it,
especially with you know, hurricane stop tsunami stuff. Of course,
pay attention to that because that's in the here and now.
But as a rule of thumb, when they throw out
something like the year twenty thirty two and three to
four percent chance of something happening, and they you dig
down deeper, and it's like, mostly we would NASA even

(10:50):
saying mostly we would just get a really cool meteor
shower out of it. I don't wonder why this particular
asteroid is getting so much attention right now. Distraction distraction, story,
fear porn, keep people afraid, keep people scared of the future,
So we need to maybe invest more in big government
to protect us. Maybe it's I don't know, but maybe

(11:12):
it's from NASA itself feeding these stories so they don't
lose any funding in this administration. I don't know. My
only thing is I wouldn't exactly worry about this too.
I wouldn't change your investment plans or your vacation plans
over something that's a three percent four percent chance of
affecting us in the year twenty thirty two. Plus, by
the way, twenty thirty two, wouldn't we have time to

(11:34):
put together the uh what was it the Armageddon team
to go up there and stop this thing? Still want
that thing to happen? Why can't we do that anyway?

Speaker 2 (11:43):
More?

Speaker 1 (11:43):
Fear porn not to worry about. And you have one
more thing. I did not plan on talking about any
celebrities today. In fact, I had I went into this
one thinking, oh good, no celebrities in the news, thank god,
and then all of a sudden, and all of a
sudden just monitoring things and not even from headlines. Just
why are all all my friends on the super conservative

(12:03):
MAGA side of things, like really strong Trump supporters in
my friendship group, Why are they all upset at iced
Tea for all of a sudden, like what happened there?
They Actually I had to dig down and actually research
it and have fought. Oddly enough, last night when I
was looking at this, I was looking at iced Tea
on my television because I was watching Law and Order SVU.
It happened to be on my wife was watching that.

(12:24):
I'm like, why are people upset about this guy? At
the time, I scrolled down a little bit more and
I'm like, he said something stupid on stage about Trump
at the Warped Tour. Now my takeaway was the Warped
Tour is happening again, the big music fit. I had
no idea. Okay, good, I don't even know what the
other bands are, but iced Tya is back there. And

(12:44):
I've always kind of enjoyed him as like, I think
he's a good actor. Actually, believe it or not, I
think he's good is rap stuff. I don't know so much.
I know he's try to work in the more of
the rock kind of thing. The last time before this
I heard anything about Iced Tea was his dedication to
a Ouzzie, which I thought was kind of cool, you know,
kind of like a cross section of worlds there. Thought
that was all right. And I remember back in the day.

(13:06):
He's no stranger to controversy. Do you remember in the nineties,
Iced Tea with that group came out with cop Killer,
that song, which was controversial for obvious reasons, and he
had to come out and say, it's not about us
advocating killing cops, It's about characters on the street that
we know it's about, you know, which was that was
kind of settled now, and then this happened. So he
takes shots verbally at President Trump on stage at the

(13:28):
Warp tour. And I gotta tell you my initial reaction
when I finally saw it for myself with my own
eyes and listen, I just saw I laughed. I don't
know why, I just saw it as I saw it
as sad and kind of funny. You know, you never
want to see people like saying this kind of thing,

(13:50):
and advocating for like taking down Trump and all this
other stuff, and that I thought that this was trending
with the lefty losers when they saw this whole thing
at the Warped unalive Trump. This is the greatest thing
of the Warped Tour. Yeah, okay, I saw it as sad,
but anyway, profanity warning in this. I couldn't really edit
it out, and it's hard to hear anyway, But this

(14:11):
was for proof the audio of iced Tea verbally taking
shots at the Warped Tour. I guess this is what
people are said about the fucking down an alley and
take them down in an alley with all the sorry

(14:31):
about the MF bombs in there, But I couldn't really
get them out of there in time, all right. So
that's that. How far have we come though in such
a short period of time. This is my initial reaction.
I may be different because I see so much of
these clips. I see so much information to try to,
you know, make sense of it so I can talk
to you guys about it. Maybe, But I'm not kidding

(14:52):
you when I say when I looked at this video
and I saw what people are upset about, I laughed
out loud. I saw it as sad. This is how
I got the idea put that in the headlin. The
on the on the posts leading up to the live
stream looks like iced tea is low t Now he
made changes because this is an over emotional middle aged dude.
And my impression was he was just trying to reach
out to the the angry lefties in the crowd at

(15:15):
the Warped tour, and to me it didn't it didn't
come across as like threatening or tough. It looked and
sounded weak to me. You may have a different impression.
I don't know. You can let me know in the comments.
I found that it just kind of funny because it
goes back to this again with with your actors, music people, media,

(15:37):
even media people, you have to separate the public persona
of what they do because a lot of are great
actors and great performers, a lot of them in the
entertainment industry. They're just dumb, they're just stupid or playing
a part. They just are And I think he's playing
a part. Probably doesn't even really believe that, but he's
trying to play up to that crowd. But he's he's there,

(15:58):
he's he's kind of he's older in he looked out
of place to me. So it just came across as
like sad and laughable. But how far have we come
to when we used to see during the first Trump
administration celebrities, you know, advocating violence against Trump, or remember

(16:19):
Kathy Griffin holding up the severed Trump doll head and
everybody was so outraged about that. I look at that now,
I'm like, it was so ridiculously over emotional and over
the top. It was so stupid. If you start to
look at this stuff and these things that these celebrities
or performers say and do, you get pretty accustomed to

(16:40):
laughing at them because it was just dumb, just sad
and stupid. I'm sorry, it just was. So that's my takeaway,
And you're gonna drive yourself crazy and I could be
able to read anything, look at anything, listen to anything,
if you don't separate your favorite performers from the dumb
things that they think because they're not smart, and they
also live in that let's you know, face it, they

(17:01):
live in that entertainment bubble where they're just surrounded by
other people like this, and in many cases, I don't
know if Ice Tea was a case of this. In
many cases, they're told to say this stuff. They are
they're afraid of losing jobs, they're afraid of losing connections,
they're afraid of being outcast from Hollywood. They just are
they just I know for a fact that happens a
lot so Iced Tea low t.

Speaker 3 (17:21):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (17:22):
I wouldn't worry about that guy anytime soon or this stuff,
because we took the power out of it. Once you
laugh at these fools, it's just there's no power to it.
Like like I guess a few years ago, people would
have heard that and this would have been front page news.
Like I said, I had to search pretty deep to
find out what people what my friends were upset about
with iced tea. It's not a big deal anymore. It's

(17:45):
just not they went too far. Nobody takes them seriously anymore,
and that I think is good news. So there you go.
Don't let them scare you, but all the fear porn.
Don't let him, don't let him, don't let him make
you a shut in because of the killer asteroid that
has a three percent chance of hitting in twenty thirty
two or whatever it was, and it looks as though.
The looks as though that tsunami information unless something changes

(18:08):
with some pretty good news too. So all right, take
on what it's worth. And it's only Wednesday, but I'm
making a wicked awesome Wednesday. Thanks for finding the live stream.
