Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
And it is Tuesday, and it is awful out depending
on where you are. I haven't looked at the full map,
but just driving in this morning around Raleigh. Hydra playing
a city there on wayde Avenue, so FYI or on that.
Not for me but a work fan that I watched.
I don't know Tokyo drift, but that's what happens when

(00:22):
you're doing seventy five on this stuff, So you know,
don't be that idiot, So give yourself a little extra
time race stage. It will be along to take his
punishment over that a little later and we'll truck from there.
I was going to start somewhere this morning, but I'm
going to start somewhere else because well, it's my show

(00:45):
and it's a pet peeve of mine, and I'm not
pleased about it from an NFL standpoint, and I'm extra
not pleased about it from a college football standpoint. You
all are the greediest pieces of garbage ever. You ruin it,
you guys, they are fundamentally ruining football with greed. I'm

(01:09):
not even getting into the lane kiff and stuff or
everything that's going on. And I don't know how to
solve the transfer portal And this isn't some super you know,
in depth sports talk thing that's going on here. It's
this garbage where local fans who pay an ungodly amount
of money in many instances, in most instances, taxpayers who

(01:33):
pay money to build these stadiums, donors who pay money
to build these stadiums and these facilities, which as you know,
are kind of insane, but in a good way, you know,
in the in the sense that it's a testament when

(01:54):
you can have the big house right where you can
have one hundred thousand people show up in rock Iste
or Carter Finley, which I which I enjoy very much
when it is when it is popping like it was
on Saturday, even though it was cold. What a time
was had by all. No, it's this need to take

(02:15):
the show on the road, which is not about so
we're expanding the sport. No you're not. You're expanding your wallets.
And I'm getting really sick of this garbage. As I
mentioned this during the with the from an NFL perspective
earlier this year. Uh, and this will be the only
NFL story we're talking about today, So you're on notice, Paul.

(02:37):
So the Minnesota Vikings, the team that I root for
that is just trying my soul. This year, they they
they they've volunteered to do two weeks in Europe in
two different countries. And and the reason that this is

(02:58):
repugnant to me is because I was there in Minnesota
when this team UH under new owner Ziggi Wilf, after
having been sold by Red McCombs right, basically held hostage
Vikings fans in the greater Minneapolis area by demand we
have to have a new stadium. And almost everybody suspects

(03:22):
that they sabotaged the Metrodome, which is a story you
should look up. So to make this happen, literally sabotaged
a stadium to make this happen, and then threatened to move,
threatened to do this, threatened to build a racino, threatened, threatened, threatened,
and then eventually taxpayers through a sales tax in Hennepin County,

(03:43):
which is where which is where the city of Minneapolis is,
funded a new stadium. And then they built the Twins
the stadium because the Vikings and Twins shared and then
the Gophers, Minnesota Gophers got a new stadium and people
paid for all that, and they paid for all the infrastructure. Meanwhile,

(04:05):
the owner, Ziggi Wilf, bought up all the property around
it because he's a real estate developer, and he made
a gazillion dollars around it. And his thank you was
to take this stadium that they said, we can't compete,
we can't win, we can't get you the ring unless
we have this stadium. And then give up home games

(04:27):
where you statistically have a better chance of winning. Give
those up to go on the road to Europe so
you can sell jerseys to people across, you know, other countries.
No benefit to the fans that got you there, no
benefit of just benefit to your wallet. Oh, in the

(04:48):
long term, it's about growing the sport. The sport's fine.
So when I see that NC State and UNC and
others are going You're going to You're going to Brazil
to open this season, the hell are you doing? That's greed.

(05:10):
That's all that is is greed. What a screw you
to NC State fans if you're not kind of into college,
but you have no idea what the loyal fans over
at NC State or UNC. But I can speak from
the NC State experience because I was in a tailgate
group for years and years and years, and even though
I wasn't the one having to make the hostage payment

(05:33):
every year. And then, by the way, get kicked around
our tailgate spot because you have to make a bigger
hostage payment than the other hostage payment for your tickets
rights and all of this, and then the wolf Pack
club wants more money, Give us more money, give us
more money, or you got to move your parking spot,
your tailgate spot. You don't get to choose before everybody.

(05:55):
I'm sorry, I'm just angry about this. And you're going
to open the football season in Brazil. Who on who
decided this was a good idea? Who decided? Screw you

(06:15):
NC State fans. You might love to see a season opener. Sorry,
fly to Rio. By the way, there's a saying, and
it's true. Brazil is not for beginners. I'm gonna tell
you if somebody has been down there, I feel comfortable
traveling a lot of prices Brazil. Yes, but you better

(06:36):
know what you're doing and where you're going. Oh well,
they can you know they could take a trip down there. No, no, no, no.
You got the stadium, you got stadium redesign, you got
everybody paying into this. Do what we do not need
to do this. UNC does not need to go to
Ireland or whatever. Hold on, I got my list here. Yeah,
we'll fact will take on Virginia in Rio dasan narrow

(06:58):
that'll be August twenty ninth next year. Who who needs that?
Who is that a benefit to Is that a benefit
to you if you're an NC state fan. Not in
the least. Is that a benefit to you? If you're
a Virginia fan, not the least. UNC plays TCU in Dublin, Ireland.
Who is that a benefit for it? I'll tell you
it's a benefit for It's a benefit so that the

(07:21):
universities and the ACC can make more money, so that
they can sell jerseys to people whose first language is
in English, which is fine, you know, you don't have
to be a fan, but screw you to the people
who are here, because then you can sell jerseys like
in Portuguese, right because you're in Brazil and you know

(07:43):
Ireland will be a little easier, but you can. You
can do all these things because they want to expand
the fan base, so they can expand the ticket sales
and the jersey sales and all of that. This and
the TV rights because if you get enough people interested
in these areas, then the ACC can sell TV rights. Shameful,

(08:03):
absolutely shameful. Shame on Jim Phillips, the ACC Commissioner, and
anyone and everyone who went into this I like very much.
And I will tell you I have personally known him
for years. And I you know the Kevin Howell who

(08:24):
is now the chancellor over at NC State, and I
this is awful, and it's just it just is bothering
me so much because in each of these cases, with
the NFL and the college football, the last people they
think about are the people who have paid for the infrastructure,

(08:47):
who have been the loyal fans. You know what you're doing.
You're doing what NASCAR did. If I could just slay
another thing, You're doing what NASCAR did back in the
nineties where you got too big for your bridges and
you just visa saying to all of the fans that
got you there and the tracks that got you there.
Because the Rainbow Warrior was doing his thing, Earnhardt was

(09:10):
doing his thing, and all of a sudden, Fox said
big contract, and everybody's watching it, and and and people
people who I knew who for thirty years, who don't
make a lot of money, who were loyal had a
track trip that they did every year. And it might
have been Martinsville, it may have been Daytona, it may

(09:31):
doesn't matter. And they are Atlanta and and the every
year they would do that and they would save their
money so that they could go and they could have
that experience. And you priced every one of those people
right out of it because you got greedy and now well,

(09:52):
and the thing is that people go, well, it's capitalism.
The problem is is that these when you get into foot,
you get into a stadium sport, ninety nine point nine
percent of the time taxpayers are funding it. So you
don't get to claim pure capitalism anymore. You're gonna have
some guy on the radio like me screaming his head

(10:14):
off over this and hoping people and hoping donors make
these guys' lives miserable for making these decisions. This is embarrassing,
This is greed. This is the continued ruination of things.
And you know, even if the NFL was willing to
do the hari kari, the fact that college football is

(10:35):
going to join in on this, no, thank you eight
eight eight nine three four seven eight seven four. You
want to be on my very happy, sunny, disposition filled
show this morning. That's how you make it happen. We'll
be right back, clearly, I'm awake. That's good. That's what
you get. Okay. So, and if you're on your commute

(10:57):
this morning and you're white knuckle cripping the thing, you're
you're not fun. In fact, let me Jade, Are you
fine coming on the air and telling people about your
wonderful commute this morning? I had putting her on the spot? Okay,
all right, I'm putting her on the spot. So so
if you call into the show so that you can
commiserate about the absolute bastardization of everyone deciding that all

(11:21):
of our sports need to be go be played in
other countries so that people can, you know, make more money,
then that's who you'll be talking to, and she'll be
screening your call. But she had to drive, so she
had to drive from Fayetteville this morning, and well, come on,

(11:42):
go ahead to how was how was it driving from
Fayeville this morning? Is it all nice and chipper and
sunny down there? Yeah? So it was very stressful for me.

Speaker 2 (11:52):
I was holding on to this deer and wheel for
deer life and I was going like forty five fifty
and all the trucks were like zooming past me.

Speaker 1 (11:59):
Yeah, I was just trying to get here. So but
roughly what it added like twenty minutes under your commute,
It added like fifteen fifteen. Okay, so there you go.
There you go, two spy reports. She's coming from there.
I'm more in the Raleigh area. But yeah, man, it's uh,
it's give yourself the extra time this morning, as Pat
McCrory said, except I can't play because my button bar

(12:21):
still broke. Don't put your stupid hat on. Of course.
He also said that, ironically enough about the Hurricane game,
which was an NC State game against Notre Dame that
I and many others still attended, and we sit low
enough in the stadium that every wall of water from

(12:42):
the top of Carter Finley was careening down in a
series of sequential waterfalls, so that by the time it
hit down where we were, or down into the students
section there, it was like wat deep water in some instances,
and fan showed up for that and your reward for

(13:03):
their loyalty for things like that. Also, our tent blew away,
not the not the metal part because We tethered it
with ratchet straps to a tree, because that's what you do.
But the cloth went bye bye. Well, we were in
the stadium there, and your thank you to the loyalty
of people who have supported your programs for years is

(13:25):
screw you watch it on TV. We're in Rio, baby.
This this is Brazil right from the fast inferior. It's
the no. I don't know why it's so ticked me.
I think it's because I'm still so cheese for my
NFL team doing it. But to see it, it's it's

(13:46):
worse to do it to college football fans because I'll
tell you, I grew in. I grew up in Wyoming.
We have one four year school in the entire state.
All right, go ahead, laugh, it's fine. Give RSUs Wyoming
and Greed also ruined a good portion of the fan
base there because the University of Wyoming when I was

(14:08):
in high school, so this is mid nineties, had they
feeled it a couple really good teams, like top twenty
five teams solidly, they should have been even higher rank
than just in the twenties, although they did middle around
nine the one year and you know what, you know,
how many Bowl invites. They got zero. Now, why would

(14:30):
in a top twenty team get Why would a top
twenty team who played by the way outside of what
was the WHAC Conference at the time beat USC I
believe that year and beat a they beat I think
they beat whoever, like the third or fourth team in
the nation was didn't get a both because bull organizers said,

(14:55):
there's not enough people in Wyoming that will actually travel,
so we're not going to make the money. That one embarrassing, embarrassing,
and so it was. So then if you're a good
football player and you're considering schools to go to, and
you want you want to be on the TV, and
you want to be noticed by NFL teams and that's

(15:17):
your goal, do you know where you don't go? You
don't go to Wyoming. So I never fully appreciated the
passion that college football, especially college football in the South,
brought people. They're telling you that your opportunity to go
see your favorite team, whether it is that you know,
in the case of NC State Virginia, either right you know,

(15:41):
right here in Raleigh, or to make that road trip
up to Virginia and don your red or if you're
unc to be able to you know, go there to
Chapel Hill and enjoy a game. Nope, Nope, got to
go to Ireland. That's my point. So under understand whose

(16:06):
ox is getting Gord here? Uh let's see Mark. Good morning, Mark,
what's up?

Speaker 3 (16:13):
Good morning, Kasey. I was wanting to add on to
what you were what you're talking about the well, first
of all, I had to make a make a trip
similar to Jade this morning and I ninety five wash
was quite knuckle glad we made it.

Speaker 4 (16:28):
Yeah, it's crazy out there.

Speaker 3 (16:32):
But anyway, uh all, I wanted to think about it.
I was just going to throw this out there and
you can just listen to, you know, reply off the
h are if that's okay. But uh, I think of
these young college guys going to Brazil maybe a little
n i O money in their pocket that I sound
like all this other stuff you said, right, you know,
all that aside, it's gonna be kind of a you know,

(16:54):
potential for disaster, and to make it, I'm gonna.

Speaker 1 (16:56):
Throw it out. Yeah. I hear what you're saying, and
A and I should the call there, Mark, I let
you get back to driving. Yeah, I'm like, I'm less
concerned about the student athletes, because I think the universities
are going to have him on a pretty tight leash.
Remember we had some Remember the Olympics, we had that
one swimmer his name escapes me. Everyone the thing was

(17:18):
they thought he was really dumb. Didn't he get into
some incident down in Brazil. I want to say that
I don't remember the details of it, but that's a
little different thing in the case. I worry less about
the student athletes going out and you know, find in trouble.
But I don't know. Maybe maybe I should. Maybe there
will be an incident. I don't know. Then they'll have

(17:39):
to rethink this stuff. But I think they're going to
have him on pretty tight lockdown. Again. I I understand
why they're doing it. I just don't approve of it.
Meaning I understand the motivation because it's a pretty easy motivation.
Dollars signs, baby. I just don't like being spoon fed

(18:01):
these quotes. Let me read one of the quotes of
the article. Here, Hang on, uh, dude, do do do
do do doo? Who is this is? This is Boo?
All right, So this is the eighty over at NC State,
Boo Corgan. It's definitely any situation to play a road
game versus Virginia and Brazil, but it should be an
unforgettable experience. Chi ching, chia ching. All right? I added

(18:24):
the cash registered sound effects at the end. He didn't
say that, but he kind of did, kind of did.
ACC Commissioner Jim Phillips said, to have NC State of
Virginia opened our conference schedule on an international stage speaks
to the vision, innovation, and collabor collaboration of our league.

(18:45):
You mean the league where right now you all are
so scared that Duke is going to Duke is going
to win a member of the ACC. Last time I checked,
they played Virginia and the championship game. You're so scared

(19:06):
the Duke's gonna win that it's giving people conniption fits
over the ability of the ACC to make money from
TV and other sources rather than just letting the best
team win. If y'all didn't want Duke to win, and
don't get me wrong, no love loss here, not a
Duke fan. But if Duke goes out and wins it

(19:30):
the championship game because they fielded a better team, and
they ran a better offense and a better defense and
did all the things that you have to do. That's
the sport. And you can say that I'm living in
La la Land, and I just don't get it, and
that's not how modern athletics works. And we need all
this money. But everywhere I turn it's just wait, we
need more money, We need more money, we need more money.

(19:52):
And I've watched it for years and years. I've seen
the ask letters. I've seen the people from some of
the athletic clubs come and schmooze guys they think are
willing to stroke big checks, who then stroke big checks.
And I know what those tickets cost because I've paid

(20:15):
for them for years. That's the point that we're making here.
All right, you want you want to see an even
dumber thing, go watch this video I reposted on the
Twitter account of Casey on the radio. Ah, you know,
you all know I'm a big fan of a little thing.

(20:38):
Back in Wyoming, we used to call tourists goring season.
Best time of the year. You go, winter, summer, spring, fall.
I think, go tourist goring season, which encompasses all all
of the seasons. Sometimes there is a video of the
dumbest woman on the planet. No, not Jasmine Crockett. Now

(21:00):
dumber maybe who is in Gatlinburg. There is a sizable
black bear, I'd say, but estimating the weight down a
bears a little tough because they don't they're not tall
per se, but they're just chunks of meat. Man, So
I'm gonna say that that bear easily outweighs that woman.

(21:23):
And they're just in the middle of Gattenberg bears standing there.
They're a little ti If you've been over there, you
know they can get a little tame. They get a
little day. We had a roof bear last week, got
on the roofs one of the roofs of the roof
of one of the bars. There we go. I can
speak and people are like, oh, look at that, which,
by the way, if you're listening to the iHeartRadio because

(21:43):
you're up in New York City and you're thinking of
moving and relocating down to North Carolina, I would warn
you that we have roof bears. May not want any
part of that. And they had another bear that was
at a mall over there. So we got mall bears,
which start as mall bears and then turn into mole
bears m A U L if you're not careful. So

(22:04):
this lady is they come across as bear. They're all
standing there and she does probably the worst thing you
can do to a bear. Let me explain something to you.
If you ever encounter a black bear, generally you're gonna
come out okay, even if you're in proximity if you

(22:25):
do a couple things. And the first thing you need
to do with a black bear is make yourself big
and loud. I know that sounds counterintuitive. Ninety nine percent
of the time they're gonna book it out of there.
They don't want any part of it. So that means
you remain standing, get your arms out big, and make noise.

(22:46):
Black bear probably don't want anything to do with you.
If it's a grizzly bear. That's the advice is very
different depending on your proximity. Well, first and foremost, if
you're with somebody just faster than the other somebody, that's
best probably one. But if the thing actually gets on you,

(23:06):
they they literally will tell you you want to lay
face down, you want to take your hands put them
over the back of your neck. I'm doing it right now,
which is literally impeding it. And as that bear tries
to roll you over because it wants to get at
your neck, go with the roll, and always end up
face down with your hands over the back of your neck.
If it's a polar bear, text your family goodbye. Okay,

(23:30):
it's not gonna matter. So what does she do? She
squats so she's eye level with the bear, staring into
its little bear eyes, but has now made herself visibly
smaller than this bear. But the bear doesn't eat her.
I'm not saying I was rooting for it, but I

(23:53):
feel like occasionally cautionary tales need to be captured on
film so that people don't do stupid stuff. But this bear,
I don't know. Maybe it's not hungry, especially this time
of the year. This is a crazy time of the
year to get in proximity to a bear. They're gonna
be more aggressive in a lot of instances because you

(24:14):
know they're getting ready, get ready to do their thing.
That's why the ones stole the chainsaw a few weeks ago.
We talked about that's right. Also, our bears have chain saws.
You're taking a move in here, they go to the mall,
they have chainsaws. They get on the roof and they'll
walk right up to you on the streets. So I
don't know. Maybe the crackhead on the subway is probably

(24:36):
a better bet for you, but yeah, that thing is.
It's a pretty vicious video. And then I saw somebody
comment I did see the lion video too, So some idiot,
I think it's in Brazil, jumped into a lions den.
I don't know if he thought he was Daniel or

(24:56):
or what the hell was going on, but he did.
That lion has clocked him. Waited right at the bottom
of this tree. He's holding on too. As soon as
he dropped, that was it. But this lady getting down
and trying to out, it's staring right into the bear.
So what do you do it? Go see the video

(25:18):
at case on the radio. All right, when we come back,
we're going to talk about the Narco boat strike, because
there was a second strike. But also it laid bare.
I did not mean that as a pun. It laid

(25:40):
bare why the initial story is still incorrect, and I
would argue intentionally. So I'll give you the details and
the nuance here when we return. Hang on, we go
together again. I'm just going to remind you, as you're
getting ready to do the commute this morning, give yourself

(26:01):
an extra time because Uh, it's not fun out there.
And I watched a watched a little hydroplane. Now I
didn't do it, but I viewed it this morning with
a guy in a work fan. So he didn't wrack
her nothing, but uh, he slow he slowed down. It's

(26:23):
probably still driving around about twenty miles an hour this morning.
So uh, you know, don't don't don't let that happen
to you. All right, So let's go back to this
boat strike. And as I said yesterday at an honestly
anonymously sourced article, you're gonna have to get me more

(26:45):
information than that. And that's a pretty good strategy because
as the information came out and this is this was
the this was I feel this was the intentional trap.
Not that there was a secondary strike, but the way
that it was being portrayed. This is where the real

(27:08):
dishonesty lies. And whether it's intentional or it's somebody who
doesn't understand how things work from a military perspective, I
don't know. But it doesn't matter because here's the scenario,
as people were interpreting it, and as it was kind

(27:30):
of laid out with intentional vagueness. To one point, the
US military lob some sort of munition. It hit this
drug boat, it blew it to smotherings. We've seen the
videos of the other ones and it you know, dudes
are floating around in the water. And Pete hag Seth

(27:51):
got on the phone and said, I go shoot him
in the head or something. Right, no survivors, which was
a huge red flag initially because we have fished out
quote unquote survivors from previous boat strikes, So what would
have made this one different? And so the narrative was
they were Pete Hegseth is a bloodthirsty monster. Maybe Trump

(28:13):
made the call they should be brought up on war crimes.
Let's do the Nuremberg thing all of this. The problem
is the boat wasn't blown to smitherings, and so you
get into a very different scenario. And there's two really

(28:36):
important words that are going to be hotly debated I
think throughout the news cycle today and obviously they were
into it yesterday. Okay, and let me in fact, let
me read a quote here, because the order to have

(28:56):
a second kinetic strike is said to have come from
the admiral who was overseeing this. Okay, uh, let me
read from the New York post article. A second strike
to finish off the pair in lieu of aid and
arrest could be considered a war crime under international law. However,

(29:17):
the Trump administration, standing by claims the second strike was
warranted for self defense. And they did provide some film
on this and some photos. Now, why would they do
that because they were not successful in eliminating their target.

(29:40):
And again, the target isn't necessarily the people on board.
The target is the boat, both for its cargo and
for its ability to be ability to be communicative with
perhaps other individuals in the area. Remember Trende Arragua, who
is piloting these boat, according to US policy, is a

(30:03):
designated terror organization. So you have to view it in
the same lens. Now, you can argue that it shouldn't be,
and that argument does exist, but it is. So you
view it in the same lens as you view al Qaeda.
So let's say it was Let's say al Qaeda had
a boat. They're buzzing around wherever they're buzzing around, and

(30:27):
we're going to pop them. And then you pop them.
But you don't dissay, or you don't actually destroy the target.
You do something else called disabling it. You may have disabled.
It's a bill. It sounds like they probably hit the motors.
You didn't get the big uh, the big kablui that
you want. But the boat is not necessarily going to

(30:48):
be able to travel through the water, or at least
they don't. It doesn't appear that it's able to because
it still is intact. It has communication devices, it can
call in other individuals. And yes, I understand that a

(31:08):
naval destroyer versus one of these hopped up speed bugs
using speedboats that they're claiming are fishing boats, which, by
the way, if you see a picture of these or
they have like twenty giant, you know, sixty gallon drums
in there. I don't know if any of you done
any fishing. That's not usually how I would, you know,

(31:29):
get a boat all set up to go fishing. I
would also have fishing rods. But that's just me. So
you shot at a target, you didn't complete what it
is you were wanting to do, which is to destroy
this target to make it so that Yes, even if
people end up in the water, the irony is these
two could have probably got off in the water started

(31:51):
swimming away. The target is the boat. The target is
not necessarily the individuals. There is secondary part of it.
You're destroying the drug delivery device. That is the goal.
You didn't do it with the first shot. You do
it with the second. You shoot a deer, you don't,

(32:13):
you know, you don't hit the lung of the boiler maker,
and you may have to pop a second shot. That's
that's seemingly what happened our number two. And you know,
there's there is one other little point that I wanted
to make with the whole Narco boat thing, and I
have to admit I was kind of I was baiting

(32:35):
individuals with the first commentary because I left out the
most important point of the reason that you would want
to destroy versus simply disable a terrorist organization's vehicle, right,
which is this boat, this boat full of drugs. This

(32:59):
boat it did by members of Trende Arragua, as well
as other organizations that this may find that may find
themselves in a similar situation because they are Narco terrorist organizations.
They are designated as terrorist organizations by the US government
and are treated accordingly. And that is not just the

(33:19):
fact that if the boat is not destroyed and its
contents literally sunk, could it potentially, you know, communicate to
others nearby that could come and you know, either either
rescue or to take the fight to members of the military, right,

(33:40):
because there is inherent danger in a recovery effort if
they still have access to what they may have on
the boat. Right, So, here comes, here comes the US Navy.
Here comes a boatload of marines, the Expeditionary Unit Marines
that are on the USS four down there, and now

(34:02):
they've got to pull these guys out of the water.
That's one thing. If you've got to go and approach
a boat where you don't know what they have on there,
you could be creating a more dangerous situation for members
of our military. And I will not for one moment,
for one moment except that you're going to create a

(34:25):
scenario where there is a higher likelihood that one of
our military members could find themselves injured or killed because
you wanted to get in a boat as a terrorist
organization and smuggle stuff. You don't get the benefit of
the doubt you made, decisions, decisions were made, and even

(34:47):
though you may not be the head of trende Arragua,
I would argue that you're probably a more desperate member thereof,
because who the hell's volunteering to get on a boat
right now to run drugs? This is like al this
is like, you know your al Qaeda al Kaida number two,

(35:08):
Remember when that became the least desirable job on the planet.
We were killing the number two al Qaeda guy like
every few weeks during the war. You imagine you're sitting
around you're al Qaida number three, and they're like, oh,
what what what happened to Bob?

Speaker 5 (35:25):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (35:26):
Yeah, yeah, Bob, Bob got turned to mist But looks
like you're in line for a promotion there.

Speaker 4 (35:33):
Dan.

Speaker 1 (35:34):
Dan's like nod, good, Now this is this is this
is the those are all my aspirations? Was number three?
Number two? No, no, I don't. I don't want any
part of that. So if you're if you're a member
of this terrorist organization and you gotta you need people
to go on the drug runner boats, I would assume

(35:55):
it's not desirable. I would also assume that your bosses
it pretty much told you you better get these drugs
up there. It don't bother showing up for work Monday.
So now you're in a more desperate situation and I'm
I'm not I don't want I don't want to member.
I don't want to member of the US military to
have to approach people who may still have access to munitions,

(36:20):
whatever it may be. Even though we clearly have the
fire you know, we're gonna have more firepower, it's still
a dangerous scenario and I won't I'm not gonna suffer
one ounce of a more dangerous scenario so that people
can feel better about their decision to smuggle narcotics into
the US to kill people. So that's that's what's at

(36:44):
the core of this. Sorry, sorry, that's that's uh, that's
where I'm at on this. But if you disagree, that's fine.
Eight eight eight nine three four seven eight seven four.
Please call and let us all know why we should
kick love narco terrorists. Make the argument, go ahead, I

(37:07):
want to hear it. I won't even scream at you.
It will make you see verbally the air of your
ways though. But that's what this that's what this thing's about.
Let's just be abundantly clear what's going on here. Why
that bear didn't eat that woman? That people have theories

(37:28):
bear is so full on fudge. They probably didn't think
of eating the one. Did you see the woman. She
looks like she's full of fudge too. It would be
like a reverse reces you're a bear and they do
love candy. I know a lot of people who who
would they run bade up in Minnesota for bear and

(37:49):
they go to this place that produces a bunch of
gummy snacks and then they'll sell the bear hunters, like
the the misprints or whatever, so you can buy like
this big bulk lot of that stuff. All all the
bears love that anything that can pack them up. Okay,

(38:11):
so there you go? All right? Am I wrong on
the boat? Look I'm very curious form military members' perspective
if they tell you to go out and destroy something
and you know, yeah, sure there's bad guys there. But again,
this is about destructing infrastructure. Eventually you're gonna run out
of boats or for the Narco Terrace for Venezuela listening

(38:33):
no moss bark gooes. Okay, eventually, so you want that,
but also you don't want a scenario that is inherently
more dangerous, and that things still being out there and
then having whatever they have on board and access to
it is a more dangerous situation. But I repeat myself

(38:59):
only because we have been absolutely I think the reporter
knew this. And remember because his sourcing is is quote
unquote military sourcing. So yeah, yeah, the US military is

(39:21):
very good at figuring out sales and networks and targeting
key positions we can disrupt for really, yeah, we are.
Like I said, that's why I have kind of number
two worst job in the world for like fourteen years
worst job. How about you call kinda number twos did
we go through? Oh, I wonder if like one of

(39:41):
the ais can tell me that number. I'll bet it's
a I've never thought to look it up. I'll bet
it's a crazy number because we did. We got really
good at him. But we're also really good most of
the time of blowing things up completely and you know

(40:03):
right away. But sometimes you got to pop it again
because we're destroying infrastructure. But no, there's gonna be be
a bunch of bleeding heart lawyers and Democrats. But I
repeat myself, who will a like in this, somebody's gonna

(40:23):
make I'm telling you somebody's gonna make. Maybe it won't
be a full Holocaust reference, but it's coming because that's
the kind of people you're dealing with here. Who are
willing to miss miss cast what is actually going down
here as as we've seen all right, few other things.

(40:47):
So Christy Noum, Homeland Security director, has announced that she
wants a full travel band unquote every damn country that
she said sends killer migrants to the US. I don't
know exactly what that definition is. I guess they're going
to put together some sort of list. I don't know

(41:14):
how fisher it will be if you know exactly what
it is. Quote, I just met with the president. This
is Gnome. She wrote this on X I just met
with the President. I'm recommending a full travel band on
every damn country that's been flooding our nations with killers,
leeches and entitlement junkies. And there are there are quite

(41:34):
a few examples of this. And by the way, it's
also it's a historical thing too. This is what Cuba did.
You know a lot of people they you know, Post
Bay of Pigs and all this stuff where we sent negotiars.
In fact, if you ever saw the movie Bridge of Spies,
the Tom Hanks movie, which is a really good movie,

(41:56):
that very same character that Tom Hanks played is who
we sent to Cuba and he was able to procure
I think it was, went down or negotiate the release
of what like the three hundred of them, and they
sent them back with something like thousands. It was only
later we figured out that they also were emptying prisons
to do that, and while some were political prisoners, a

(42:16):
lot of them work and so they dumped that upon us.
Castro would brag about that. Man, Oh yeah, absolutely. Uh
a call here, Thomas, what's.

Speaker 5 (42:28):
Up, hey, buddy, Thanks for taking my call. I've just
had a I support you one dent on this thing.
But if they do not destroy the boats and the product,
then is it possible that the bad guys can do
a salvage operation to come back later and get that

(42:48):
product off the boat, even though it's vincun.

Speaker 1 (42:51):
Well, so here's here's what I heard people arguing. They're like,
if you really wanted to sink the boat, you go
and you rescue these guys, and then you get a
little ways away from it and you blow it up
like it's a target full of tannerite. But the problem
is is it's the approach, right, So I don't think
they've I don't think they'd leave it floating, is my point.
They're going to destroy it either way. But I don't

(43:12):
want I don't want military members putting themselves in danger
because narco terrorists want to be narco terrorists exactly right.

Speaker 4 (43:20):
They know what chance is taken or they go on
this trip.

Speaker 5 (43:24):
Yeah yeah, blow them out of order.

Speaker 1 (43:26):
Destroy the product, you know, not just the product you're destroying, therefore,
they're you're destroying anything that they may be able to
use against you. And that's some.

Speaker 5 (43:37):
Product or food, or or somebody with intelligence enough to
do it.

Speaker 1 (43:42):
Yeah yeah, or some guy with you know, a AK
forty seven who shoots a marine and then now that
marine's family has to deal with that. I'm I'm I'm
not signing up for that, Thomas. Thanks for the call.
Do appreciate it. Seven eighteen hang on. Initial reaction is
no science, no no, no, no no. But then I

(44:07):
kind of understand what they're arguing, and then I'm like, hmmm,
I think I just opt to be like, all right,
it's been fun. Tap out. I don't know. Here's the headline.

(44:27):
Doctors discover way to allow patients to breathe through their butts.
I'm gonna repeat that again because you're in your head,
you're like he didn't just say that the thing that
he I think I think he said, did he?

Speaker 4 (44:43):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (44:43):
He did. Scientists discover way to allow patients to breathe
through their butts. You see why this is my initial reaction, like,
I'm good, thanks, especially because I had Chinese yesterday and

(45:05):
I had like the I like the dumplings with the
chili oil. The really like the numbing chili oil sauce.
But if you don't pair that with something to mitigate that,
that's a problem. Remember that time you ate too many
jalapeno poppers and drank too much beer. You want to
breathe through that mess the next day. I don't feel

(45:26):
like you do now now, Okay, So you're asking why
would science do this? Is some guy working on the
human centipede? What's happening? There is an actual medical reason
for this, and it sounds like I like it could

(45:50):
be helpful. So the lead researcher is a medical doctor
in stem cell byoists. His name is Takenori to Kaby,
and he is performing the very first human trials of
butt breathing. Why would you do this?

Speaker 4 (46:12):
So?

Speaker 6 (46:13):
Uh?

Speaker 1 (46:14):
To CABE's father, Cott, pneumonia was put on a ventilator.
And as I think a lot of us probably during
all the COVID era, even if we've never had to
deal with a ventilator, people I think learned more about
the downsides. I mean, yes, clearly the upsides of being innovated,

(46:37):
and you know, having a ventilator are you know, keeping
you alive in many instances. However, in certain circumstances it
probably is more harmful than helpful, as we saw surrounding
some of the COVID stuff, which is why they started
doing it less and less. And it's even if it

(46:57):
is helpful and keeping you alive, it can be it
can be very very destructive and impact quality of life
going forward. Plus the recovery from it is substantial. I
know somebody who was who was on a ventilator for
quite some time following a car accident, and to this
day he still has substantial breathing problems. I'm not sure

(47:20):
the nuances of all of it, and it did save
his life, so that's you know, probably. So he's watching
this and he was wondering, well, how do we how
else can we oxygenate the blood And there's certain there's
theories about doing it intravenously, but he envisioned a slightly

(47:41):
different route. And it's because the human intestinal track is
rich in blood vessels. That's why suppositories work. That's why
I don't even I probably shouldn't say this on the radio.
That's why some people put cocaine in the butt. Yeah,

(48:02):
oh what, God, you've never done butuck cocaine? Come on, Okay,
nor have I. But I'm aware it's a thing. So
with that in mind, he's he's he's like, all right,
So because the the blood vessels are there, because we
can do these things, why can't we oxygenate the blood?

(48:24):
Plus having a ventilator you know up in uh you know,
up through your mouth, down your throat and all those
things can be very destructive. But apparently the the butt's
a little better. It holds up a little better. I'm trying.

(48:48):
I'm trying to be delicate here because I think that
there is actual science here. It's just crazy to like
read this as to what they're proposing. So so, with
his background astroonerology, to kve knew the human intestinal tractors
rich in blood cells. And since you know enemas can
deliver medicine to bloodstream, the cocaine, but we talked about.

(49:09):
Uh he he suspected that perhaps oxygen could pass from
the intestines into the bloodstream and h so he's you, now,
what is he using as some sort of delivery here?
He uses? Uh, I'm gonna butcher this word plus four
plus floor pair Floro de Collin. Uh could get it

(49:36):
at Adam and Eve. I don't know, but whatever. Oh,
this is also why the college kids were butt chugging.
Forgot about that? Thanks, college kids appreciate that. Uh So,
now he's tested the fluid on people. Overall, the process
was well tolerated. Except in higher doses it can lead

(50:03):
to significant stomach pain, but not life threatening. And I
guess if it's better than not being able to get air?
How much are they?

Speaker 5 (50:12):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (50:13):
Lord? What?

Speaker 4 (50:19):
So?

Speaker 1 (50:20):
Apparently the good dose is one and a half liters,
So take a two liters soda, take a twenty five
percent of it away, and that's what they're Uh, that's right.
It's like some people are just gonna be like, you
know what, I'm good. It's gonna be over here suffocating now. Yeah. Yeah.

(50:42):
So in that amount, they can carry five hundred million
liters of oxygen. We use two hundred million liters in
a minute, so they have to cycle it. I guess. Okay,
look thinking outside the box or the butt, I guess.
But if if it works and it's less destructive, then
you know, maybe maybe it becomes a thing. But here's

(51:04):
here's the here's the upside. It is far, far, far
easier from a long term perspective on damage that can
be done to the lungs. Right, So it allows the lungs,
which generally, if you're running into something like this may
be imperiled in some way, shape or form, to have
a lot less stress on him. So there's less you know,

(51:26):
damage down the road. And well you get the gist
of this. So that's the thing. That's the thing that
I just learned about, and now you just learned about.
I'll take your jokes at eight eight eight. Now I'm kidding.
I'm kidding. You'll be very delicate on this topic here.

(51:49):
But hey, I can you imagine trying to pitch this
to you know, because he's doing he's doing actual trials.
So there's I'm sure there's some component of a drug
company or a university. In fact, I think it is
a university. What is the university's it's a university in Ireland.
He works through Yeah, University of Galway, which is in Ireland.

(52:13):
So now you got to pitch this to the department chair.
You're sitting there with your schematics. You're like, all right,
so this this is a ventilator too, and normally I
would shove it down a patient's throat. Here's Bill, he's
gonna be our patient. Bill, drop your pants. Panels of

(52:34):
Poindexter sitting there going where are we going with this?
And that's where we go. All right, let's welcome in
rased Agic from the Weather Channel, who has some splaining
to do.

Speaker 2 (52:48):
I do, I do?

Speaker 1 (52:51):
I don't know, man. I heard you use the S
word earlier. I saw a dude hydroplane this morning doing
about eighty because he's dumb. Poor Jade, who's producing since
Ross is out, she had to drive from Fayette Villain
added a bunch of time to her commute, like we're
we're full, man, we don't need more more moisture.

Speaker 2 (53:13):
Well, we have to peel back the layers of the onion.

Speaker 7 (53:16):
Right.

Speaker 8 (53:16):
So, if it was the S word, if you're talking
about snow, that's later in the week. If we're talking
about the rain and the slow travel because it was
raining pretty hard Fayetteville, Sandford, around Raleigh, in Greensboro, Winston Salem. Yeah,
that did cause problems this morning too, even out near Greenville.
Some heavier rainfall to the east, stand out near the

(53:38):
outer banks, where might even be a little thunder in there.
But the back end now is just pushing through the
Great Smoky Mountains and coming east. So we'll be in
it this morning, tapering off midday early afternoon, and temperatures
are going to stay chilly. You're not worried about any
frozen precipitation today, but that couldn't change. So we'll get
out of this probably mid up or forties today and

(54:00):
then tonight drop down into the colder mid upper twenties,
and then two decent days on a Wednesday and Thursday.
Mid upper forties on Wednesday and sunny, a little more
cloud Thursday, close to fifty, and then well we'll have
that chance to see maybe a little rain and or
snow early Friday before it changed to rains.

Speaker 2 (54:17):
So it's kind.

Speaker 8 (54:18):
Of tricky, as it always is at this latitude, right
and this early in the year, we're going to get snow.
European models a little more aggressive. It would mean maybe
a period of snow, especially in a line from about
Raleigh toward Hickory and Ashville and points north as the
cold air wedge is in, and then south of that.

Speaker 2 (54:37):
It's mainly rain.

Speaker 8 (54:38):
But the American model not so aggressive, So still some
discrepancies to work out. Probably have a better handle on
it tomorrow and certainly certainly by Thursday.

Speaker 1 (54:48):
I have a theory how you're doing this. Sure, I
think you guys are so butt hurt. You didn't get
to send one. You're one hundred pounds little weather net
ladies to stand in a hurricane this year because we
didn't get any landfall or no, right, yeah, right, then,
twenty twenty five Atlantic hurricane season is over, no landfall
in the US, and I think it's just I'm sure

(55:09):
it's not a coincidence that this happened right after we
renamed it Gulf of America.

Speaker 2 (55:14):
Yeah, we're being penalized right now.

Speaker 1 (55:16):
I pedalized. I think they're seeing what's happening to the
Narco boats, and the hurricanes didn't want any part of it.

Speaker 8 (55:21):
Right, So right, that's one low average number of named storms.
I think we ended up twelve or thirteen most of
the preseason predictions for close to twenty So, I mean.

Speaker 1 (55:34):
It did hit our hurricane party suppliers probably hard. You know,
we love a hurricane party around these parts.

Speaker 2 (55:41):
Yeah, and we get no landfall.

Speaker 8 (55:43):
We did have impacts, a couple of storms in the
Outer Banks especially, had a lot of coastal flooding, et cetera,
et cetera. But as for the center and a center
coming across the US coast, didn't happen.

Speaker 2 (55:55):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (55:56):
Yeah, all right, man, We'll try harder next year, I guess.
And we'll talk to you in another hour. Okay, yep,
there you go. Range stagic from the Weather Channel will
be right back. Critical thinking people just just a just
a little bit of it, just pausing to go, well
why why is that can save you on so many

(56:19):
of these these stories. So if you don't, first of all,
if you don't know what the doomsday plane is, the
doomsday plane is a US Navy It's a Boeing East six.
It's or the Mercury aircraft. I've heard it referred to it.
So this is this is is a really cool thing.

Speaker 6 (56:41):
Right.

Speaker 1 (56:42):
So there was one of these planes. I think we
have like twenty of them or something, and they call okay,
so they call them the Doom's Day plane. Let me
start at the beginning in case you don't know what
this thing is, so uh and actually here just let
me call this up here. So we have sixteen of them, okay,
and that's what they tell us we have, you know

(57:02):
that goes. So the Boeing E six B Mercury is
technically what it's called is to be used by the
President's Secretary of Defense and US Strategic Command. You know,
if we get a little doomsday. It provides survivability, reliability,
and endurability according to Airborne Command, Control and Communications and accordingly,

(57:29):
excuse me, nuclear Control, Command and Communications. It can survive
an EMP and actually is analog for a lot of
its systems versus digital, and this is important. And it
can do a variety of really cool things. One of
the most important is it can, again in this analog fashion,

(57:54):
it can message, communicate and coordinate our subs. So you know,
we go full global thermal nuclear war. This thing. It
has a huge trailing antenna. It's I watched the whole
documentary on this thing. So all right, so this is
what it is. And so one of them just here's

(58:18):
how they here's how the US Navy doomsday plane vanishes
over the Atlantic. So it passed over Chesapeake Bay on Friday,
got about sixty miles off the coast, and quote vanished,
except it didn't vanish, Okay, it turned its transponder off.

(58:42):
So like people are writing these breathless articles like one
of these planes just went down, you know, in the
Bermuda triangle, And the reality is it's doing what it's
supposed to do. It goes, it makes itself essentially invisible
and impervious to attack, and it is able to so
it's it's clearly out on a training mission or or

(59:06):
is being used as a part of some military operation
that is not meant to be public facing. I don't
know what that would be in this scenario, so I
think training mission. But like there's h I've now seeing
like three articles like what happened to it? What happened
to it? Is it's a secret plane, man, I mean

(59:27):
it's not secret so secret we don't know that it exists.
But even those things that I just told you it
can do, it can probably do a whole hell of
a lot. More so I wouldn't freak out about it
if you see it. I think this thing. I think
this is the this is super cool stuff. I love
our our little secret of aircraft. You know, going back,

(59:48):
going all the way back to uh, you know, the
the U two and the and and all of those things.
Man like learning about those. A lot of these things
you learned post factos. We were learning about B two
and uh I'm trying to remember the one they just
retired that could do like Max seven.

Speaker 6 (01:00:07):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (01:00:08):
But my point is you learn more about these. This
thing is not so secret, but it going out and
turning its transponder off is not unusual, is the point
that I'm making. Because it's part of survivability is invisibility.
So this thing needs to be able to truck around
and it needs to be able to do the things
that it does. So typically here's here's here's how it works.

(01:00:33):
And so they have. When I say it has a
trailing antenna, I mean it is a multi miles trailing antenna,
and it can fly forty eight hours and then it
can be refueled in the air, and then it's it
can send secure messages to submarines, which is what I'm assuming.

(01:00:55):
This training mission is also ground stations, so like there's
there's a lot of usefulness here. This particular aircraft operating
with the call sign AfD f E two. Shutting off
its transponder is standard operating procedure for classified missions missions,
So who knows. Maybe it's coordinating subs. Again, there's not

(01:01:18):
a necessity to necessarily do it this way right now,
but they want to practice doing it. But I don't know,
maybe it is. Maybe they are doing something that way
for what reason. I don't know. Maybe instead of blowing
the Narco boats from the upside, we're going to hit
them from the bottom side. And everyone can freak out
about that, but I don't think we lost a plane.

(01:01:41):
For people who are kind of losing their mind over
this stuff, all right, eight eight eight nine three four
seven eight seven four. I open the show with this
because it bothered me, so I'm going to make a
point to mention it again. And it has to do
with football, and I suspect before long it won't just

(01:02:03):
have to do with football, But for right now, we're
talking about football. And this goes back to my problem
with what the NFL has been doing with trying to
play all that, you know, trying to expand all over
the world. I know what you're thinking to think, well,
isn't that a good thing, right for the health of
the sport. The more people involved, the better it will be,

(01:02:24):
to which I would say, no, no, it's really not.
This is our sport. But more importantly, if somebody wanted
to expand football over the world, and the NFL has
attempted to do it, remember, NFL Europe used to be
a thing, and there are other football programs of American
style football that operate not necessarily under the NFL's operating system,

(01:02:49):
but you know, are played and our leagues in other
places around the world. It is a thing that our exists,
but by moving games you are I'll explain it from
a from an NFL standpoint as a Minnesota Vikings fan.
This year, my team decided that they were going to
play two teams or two weeks in Europe. So we

(01:03:12):
played one in one week in Ireland, and then we
the next week we went to England and or no
as a Germany whatever. We played in two different countries.
And the problem with that is is damn near every
single one of these NFL teams, I believe all of
them operate through the assistance of taxpayers, i e. The

(01:03:36):
stadiums in which they play. And as a Vikings fan,
years ago, we were told that the Minnesota Vikings, because
of the facility in which they were forced to play,
which was the Metrodome, would never be competitive enough to
win a Super Bowl, which is bs in and of itself.
And then the ownership group gets out there and they
threaten to move the team, and then everyone freaks out,

(01:03:59):
in the politicians freak out, and before you know it,
taxpayers are funding a stadium. So the audacity to get
taxpayers to just finish building you a stadium, you know,
less than a decade ago, a very nice stadium up
there for you to not use it to the fullest

(01:04:20):
capacity that you can because you said it gives you
an advantage. And home field is an advantage, right because
and a lot of it's some of its stadium, but
also a lot of it has to do with your
own fan base being there so that they can scream
when the other team's attempting to conduct their offense. Is
it's an advantage to not use it as a slap

(01:04:41):
in the face, and it is born from greed. So
now that I see that the ACC wants to get
into this, I'm sorry, man. No, absolutely not. These are
public universities. This is greed, unmitig greed. It is a

(01:05:01):
screw you to the fan base that even yes, even
though in the case of NC State playing Virginia and
it is their opener next year August twenty ninth, will
take place in Rio de Janeiro, it still would have
allowed had they played in Virginia, where it would have
been a home game, it would have allowed Wolfpack fans

(01:05:23):
to travel to one of the you know, one of
their opponents, provided that opportunity. These are public universities. This
is about the acc figured out ways to squeeze more
money while all the fans who don't just taxpayer fund
these stadiums, but fans who spend money with things like

(01:05:43):
the Wolfpack club stroke these enormous crazy checks for the
privilege of being earlier in line to pick their parking spots.
Are constantly asked for donations, pay an ungodly sum of
money for these tickets. Do it willingly because they want
to go be entertained. And I was there Saturday. We

(01:06:03):
were all entertained. Even though it was a bit of
a blowout against UNC, I saw a ton of happy
Wolfpack fans, clearly because they're beaten up on UNC. That
makes them excited. But and you're going to move a
game to Brazil. Meanwhile, UNC is gonna one of their games.

(01:06:23):
I believe it's against TCU that's going to be in Dublin, Ireland. No,
absolutely not, so that you guys can line your pockets more.
The amount of sports that are being systematically destroyed by
greed is not limited to football. You could make a

(01:06:45):
strong argument that NASCAR abandoned the very fans that grew
that sport to the prominence it was able to achieve
in the nineties through legacy drivers like Yes, Jeff Gordon, Dale, Earnhardt,
Richard Petty and all the rest was a big screw

(01:07:05):
you once they got a taste of that sweet sweet
Fox money and started to abandon tracks that were favorites
but were not the ones that could necessarily, you know,
make as much money as they wanted. Fans who didn't themselves.
They weren't rich fans, but they were loyal fans who
every year would gather together and take that trip to

(01:07:29):
whatever whatever track was their annual thing, or maybe they
would switch it up each year, go to Atlanta one year,
go to Martinsville, the next go to Daytona one year,
which is an amazing place to watch a race. But
because you didn't have to be rich to do it,
all of a sudden, you had to deal with four
hundred dollars five hundred dollars hotel rooms, ticket prices that

(01:07:52):
were out of hand, and if you ended wanted any
fun in the infield, mortgage your house. There were a
lot of NASCAR fans that took a personally. So I'm
I'm sitting here and I'm watching college football decide they
want to get on this greed bandwagon so they can
sell wolf pack merch in Germany or Brazil or wherever,

(01:08:12):
and absolutely not. You can't convince me this is a
good idea. Now, maybe I'm overreacting, and I will let
you know that even though I have enjoyed over the
years tailgating and attending NC State games, and I have
been to the UNC and I've watched Duke play in
their stadium and wake Forest we get tickets through our

(01:08:32):
Greensboro station. I've caught a couple of Wake Forest games
and and and enjoyed the experience immensely. This is the
this is the kind of stuff that just rubs me
the wrong way. I didn't go to any of those schools,
but I have a lot of friends who are passionate
alumni and fans who have spent have spent what you

(01:08:55):
pay for a house over the years. I'm and I'm
not exaggerating who I because I've seen the checks that
they've written. I think it's insane, but they do it
because they love their school, and they love the stadium,
and they love the experience and everything that goes with it.

(01:09:16):
We got a sales guy yesterday showed up all in red.
He looked like freaking Santa Claus out there. He was
so excited about NC State getting the W And So,
if you're going to create one less opportunity for somebody
to either go to a home game or go watch
a game in Virginia, which is a very easy drive

(01:09:37):
if you're a Wolfpack fan, so that you can go
and you can try to expand in Rio Dejanaro. What
is Rio Dejanio ever done for state schools in North
Carolina other than maybe sending some foreign students. I want
to know how much ACC is standing to make off

(01:09:57):
of this, because I think that's what's at play here.
If you think I'm wrong. Let me know eight eight
eight nine three four seven eight seven four. And these
are not even NFL franchises, just gravy training off stadium
deals paid for by taxpayers. These are state schools paid
for by taxpayers who think they all right, well, we'll

(01:10:19):
just let's go play over here, and we'll go to
this country. We'll go to this country. And don't give
me this garbage that fans can travel if I want
to go watch NC State take on an ACC opponent,
let alone one on their division side. And I got
to get on a plane for do you know far
it is to Rio Dejanio. Rio's all the way down there.

(01:10:42):
I know I've been. It's like flying to Europe and
not even Ireland, like into Europe. And you're gonna go
ahead and make that more difficult while putting out QTc quotes. Oh,
this speaks to the vision, innovation, and collaboration of our league.
It speaks to the greed. And I understand the ACC

(01:11:04):
is in a weird place watching all of what's going
on with the SEC, and the ACC is staring at
Duke maybe winning winning the ACC championship this weekend, and
they're upset about that, which I don't understand if Duke wins,
they win, State College of New Jersey gets the w
There you go. I'm sorry, I'm just not down with it,

(01:11:29):
all right, eight twenty two Back in just a moment,
Parkway to Page Road, just a quick recap. I was
ranting over my distaste for now college programs deciding they're
going to go play international games, because this is about money, folks, money, money, money,

(01:11:49):
and it's at the expense of fans, and it's at
the expense of even just regular old taxpayers. You may
not be fans of a school, but if kicked in
to build these amazing cathedrals of football that we call stadiums.
All right, Bill, thanks for hanging on. What's up?

Speaker 6 (01:12:09):
Yes, Casey, I totally agree with you. I was. I
was when I heard this news. I was like, well,
there goes there goes a lot more of our taxpayer dollars,
you know, like I think one of the ACC teams
just got from back from Mali with a double loss.
I think that's what I heard.

Speaker 1 (01:12:27):
Anyway, Well Mali Mali in the US, sir, and they
you know, and they field Division one football programs at
the University of Hawaii.

Speaker 6 (01:12:35):
So that is true. That is true, but it is
costly to get there. Yeah, I totally agree, and I
wanted to weigh in on if you did or anybody
that watched the TV. The game on TV, I was,
I was kind of pumped up. You know, it's gonna
be Carolina State, this is gonna be a great game.
It's gonna be a lot of energy. I'm like, I

(01:12:56):
turned it down and it was like, what network is this?
I had been watching all the top five games stadiums
full and loud and and just good football. I'm like,
what happened to It was like like a Kumbai Ya
or low energy game that there was no replays hardly

(01:13:19):
at all, and.

Speaker 1 (01:13:19):
It was like school or watching it on TV. It
really was no, no, no, I'm just saying that that
would be lie the atmosphere of the stadium, because the
atmosphere of the stadium was great, So the fact that
it didn't transfer on TV across, yeah, that's problem.

Speaker 6 (01:13:36):
I think it was mostly the announcers and and the
audio that they had, but even even the coverage was
was uh, like I said.

Speaker 1 (01:13:46):
Replay yeah, yeah, you never know.

Speaker 6 (01:13:48):
How turned it off after I think after the first
two touchdowns, I flipped back over to the games and
enjoyed that one.

Speaker 1 (01:13:58):
Well we won't know already came out across that way.
I think people, I think a lot of people are
just being annoyed. They were screaming to stay warm, so
it was really cold out there. All right, man, have
a go one. Appreciate it.

Speaker 4 (01:14:10):
I was.

Speaker 1 (01:14:13):
Cheery, chili chili. Oh way, hold I have offended somebody, Yes, Shannon,
what's up?

Speaker 9 (01:14:18):
Hey, good morning? And thought I wanted to say, I agree,
I don't think the teams need to play overseas. Not
a fan of that. And and if you've ever been
in Michigan Stadium that is like his best experience and
making that like making fans lose a day by the
mount that they pay for tickets. Nope, I don't agree

(01:14:39):
with it. And also I wanted to say, can you
stop giving us crap? We won for over two thousand
days against Ohio State. Let us mourn in peace, please
case see No, you.

Speaker 1 (01:14:49):
Need to understand why I'm giving you crap, though, Shannon,
I'm giving it. It's the reverse of why you think
it is because my most obnoxious buddy college football buddy
is an Ohio State. So if he gets high on
his horse as he is right now. He's that much
more obnoxious to be around. So had you beat him,

(01:15:10):
I wouldn't have to listen to it.

Speaker 9 (01:15:13):
Oh well, I'm sorry about that. We really really tried game.

Speaker 1 (01:15:17):
So yeah, so that's that's what I'm saying. I love
the guy, but man, when Ohio State's doing well, he's
very hard to be around in sports conversations. Alrighty, all right,
yeah you too. So see, because again people think I'm biased,
I'm just selfish, which is uh, you know, it's it's different.

(01:15:41):
I just I just want to be able to talk
football in peace, that's it. Yeah, all right, see, so
there's some NASCAR peeps agree with me. Yeah, my friends
and I attended the All Star Racing Charlotte every year
for fifteen years until they turned the drivers into corporate
robots and started trying to contrive fake rival Oh yeah,

(01:16:02):
that's another thing I've heard people complain about. I'm not
the biggest NASCAR fan, but I've been. I think I've
been what six races? Seven six? I went to Vegas, Sonoma, Atlanta, Martinsville, Daytona.

(01:16:24):
Uh where else did I go? What do I feel
like there's another race? That I went, Oh, Texas. Oh
it's Texas, so like yeah, and it's it's a great experience,
but it's it's very interesting knowing some folks who used
to travel for NASCAR all the time, especially in North Carolina. Here,
this is Nascar, man. We we got the Hall of Fame. Here,

(01:16:46):
we got the amount of drivers that literally listen within
the sound of this radio signal. I don't know if
they listen, but good listen, right, it's got to be
it's got to be one of the highest it's got
to be the highest concentration probably in the in the country,
if I'm not wrong. This is NASCAR, And I think

(01:17:08):
it's very sad that there's people who, you know, they
make a decent live, they make it, you know, they
make a living, keep their heads above water. And still
we're willing to carve out that very special trip every year,
some of them multi generational trips. I know the father
has since passed away, where him and his son, that's

(01:17:28):
what they did every year. They'd go to a couple
of different tracks like Atlanta and Martinsville and all that.
They would pick one track and then it's kind of alternating,
and that's what they did every year. And then eventually,
and I remember him explaining this to me, they had
to stop doing it. Dad had finally retired. It was
getting a little more expensive, even though he's working, and

(01:17:49):
they got a lot more expensive. And then I think
what happened is they went to Atlanta the last year
and if you don't know where the speedway is in Atlanta,
it's way it's way down south of Atlanta, and so
you're kind of in your own little area there, and
it just became absolutely unaffordable and they had to stop

(01:18:10):
doing it, and that was like a core memory for them,
and you could, well they're explaining this, him and his
father to me, and I'm like, like, that's a what
a bummer story man. Lifelong fans priced out of it,
and I just I hate to see stuff like that.
All right, let me grab this called Patrick, what's up?

Speaker 4 (01:18:33):
Good morning, sir. Enjoyed the show, But if I may,
I want to go a little against what seems to
be the predominant fault this morning. Okay, inc State ANCI
state in Virginia playing out out of country. It's not
gonna call tax players anything. It's the only way the
acc survives.

Speaker 1 (01:18:49):
Oh and I'm glad. I'm glad you made the argument.
I just want to clarify. It's not the I mean,
there is an inherent costs with travel, but that's overlooked.
It's that the infrastructure has been paid for and there
is there is only so much opportunity to go around
because they only play so many games. So you're taking
one of those opportunities away based on infrastructure that has

(01:19:11):
largely already been paid for by taxpayers. That's my beef.

Speaker 4 (01:19:17):
I can understand that. But unless you do this, you
can kiss the AEC goodbye. In fact, let's just be
frank I'm a NC State fan. I heard the guy
I'm in to go talking about the lack of driving
that game. The a SEC network is not a good
network to c W that carries the terrible games does
a better job in the ACC network. And unfortunately the

(01:19:38):
Bulls and Blue this year, we just want the team
everybody thought they will. You can't make chicken salad out
of the other part of the chicken. Yeah, just be frankly.
The ACENC, especially those teams that are sort of the
middle end the not the blue bloods, they're going to
have to do these things to continue just to continue
to competing. I mean, there's one one school in the

(01:20:00):
triad where we're not very happy with our coach. He
only makes about five and a half medi a year.
Right the other school right there, just a few miles
up the roads, paying over ten million dollars for a
coach that they can't fire it because it's gonna cost
them fifty to get rid of it, you know, and
we think that's a lot of money to you start
looking around to the SEC again in the Big Ten.

Speaker 1 (01:20:21):
Yeah, but like even in that you have, you know,
there's this big conspiratory. A lot of people are very
upset because ESPN's leaning into the SEC game this weekend
and not the Big Ten when you have you know,
number one and number two playing each other, so like,
you ain't gonna make anybody happy. They because they want
to show the Alabama Georgia thing.

Speaker 4 (01:20:42):
Well, I think that goes back to until somebody besides
ESPN and Fox are involved in it. I think NBC
has got a big contract with Notre Dame another source
spot for me ACC fan. But yeah, I mean, and
the sad part is and again I'm in. I'm gona
go ahead say, I'm in C State fan We're very

(01:21:02):
likely going to be left holding the bag somewhere in.

Speaker 1 (01:21:04):
A few years, probably.

Speaker 4 (01:21:07):
Popped up Southern Conference.

Speaker 1 (01:21:09):
Did you did you? How did you feel when they
moved the ACC tournament out of Greensboro or Charlotte. I
had a lot. I thought that was awful. But they're like, oh,
we're gonna go play in New York. Now that was
that was greed, sir. That's money.

Speaker 4 (01:21:24):
That's it always comes back to money. It doesn't matter
that the Omni whatever's ever gonna feel like the Greensboro Coliseum.
Whill no it fans. No, It's about that million dollars
that they can make.

Speaker 1 (01:21:36):
I loved I loved going over love going over there
and just camping out in Greensboro and going to all
those games. Loved it. Yeah, so all right, yeah, hey Patrick,
I I got I gotta go to break. But I
really appreciate the calling the other perspective, okay, because I
think that's it's.

Speaker 2 (01:21:52):
A fair argument.

Speaker 1 (01:21:53):
It's a fair argument. But I don't know if it's
enough to quote unquote, say the a CEC if it
continues trending where it's going. I raced agent here to
uh well, I don't know talking about rain and snow and.

Speaker 2 (01:22:05):
Meeting to that one.

Speaker 8 (01:22:06):
Yeah, we don't want to get me in that conversation
being an ACC fan myself, living with a bunch of bulldogs,
that's all I'll say.

Speaker 1 (01:22:13):
Yeah, I hear you.

Speaker 2 (01:22:15):
Listen.

Speaker 1 (01:22:16):
Do you like this going overseas to play a SEC
football games? No?

Speaker 8 (01:22:20):
No, no, no, I don't even let you do the
The NFL is certainly not college.

Speaker 2 (01:22:24):
Yeah, nothing is nothing sacred anymore.

Speaker 1 (01:22:26):
No, it's not. You know what.

Speaker 8 (01:22:28):
ACC's got to show up, that's all I'm gonna say. Okay,
all right, So Clemson's.

Speaker 2 (01:22:34):
Got to go down to l.

Speaker 8 (01:22:35):
S U and beat Kiffins. But opening day next weekend,
that's what they need to do. And until they start
doing that, forget it anyway.

Speaker 1 (01:22:45):
All right. I got about him, I got about them.

Speaker 2 (01:22:47):
I just got on with plenty of time. That's plenty
of time.

Speaker 8 (01:22:50):
I'm starting to see the showers taper off hick Grey
to Ashville, upward Knoxville. The rain becomes a little less,
but a steady, moderate to light rain in the line. Uh,
just these of Greensboro and Charlotte toward Fayetteville and here
a triangle back in the try. It's not raining as
hard but the bottom line is what weather. We'll start
wrapping up here and we'll have sunshine back by tomorrow,
partly Sonny. On Thursday, and then Friday we might have

(01:23:12):
to deal with a little rain and snow too, so
we'll talk more about that as the week goes on.

Speaker 1 (01:23:16):
Okay, cool, cool, Thank you, sir. I appreciate it, and
we'll come back with Denise Pellegrini next. Hang on fifty
three you're Bloomberg. Update now with Denise Pellegrini. What's happened
in Denise?

Speaker 7 (01:23:26):
Yeah, Caseie. One of the things that's being very closely
watched is the bidding for the entertainment and media giant
Warner Brothers Discovery, and apparently it is now fielding a
second round of bids and this does include now we're learning,
a mostly cash offer from Netflix. Now, this auction could
really wrap up pretty soon in the coming days or weeks,

(01:23:47):
because the offers are binding, Casey, it means the board
is in a position to, you know, really sign off
on a deal quickly once it decides which deal it wants. Also,
of note, a growing number of companies are offering workers bonuses, points,
or merchandise to employees who use artificial intelligence at work.

(01:24:08):
They're paying people extra to use artificial intelligence. This includes
some big companies, drug makers, Santa Fee, Fintech, Bres, and IBM.
Of course we all know that. Then companies use artificial
intelligence to layoff employees. So maybe you're just training your
successor there if you're doing that, but probably unavoidable. Car

(01:24:30):
buyers are bulking after years of prices going up. We're
seeing a lot of signs the car market is decelerating.
Buyers are downsizing, they're going for used vehicles, stretching out
car loans, you name it, looking for deals, and cars
are sitting on lots a lot longer. Dealers are starting
to offer some extra good, you know, some extra nice good,
big discounts, so there is a bright spot there. Samsung

(01:24:53):
unveiling its first trifled smartphone. This is the Galaxy Z trifled.
It has two hinges and can transform a to a
larger tablet sized device. Apparently every time they add a hinge, though,
the price goes up, and this one will sell for
around twenty five hundred bucks. More holiday drinks and merch
at Starbucks, including the Chestnut Preleen Latte and the Eggnog

(01:25:13):
lat Also holiday themed tumblers inspired by the clothing brand
Roller Rabbit. I don't know if you know that one,
but they do pajamas, so that's kind of an interesting
mode there. Bask and Robins celebrating eighty years in business
with eighty cent scoops of ice cream that'll be on
this Sunday stock futures right now they're putting to a
higher open after yesterday's selloff. Doll up one hundred and

(01:25:35):
five points on the future's S and P futures also gaining.
Nasdaq futures up ninety seven Bitcoin a little bit higher
yesterday after yesterday's route and casey, the Post Office is
out with its shipping deadlines. You know, to ensure your
gift derives by December twenty fifth, or whenever you're trying it.
To get their first Class mail service customers, you have
until December seventeen for packages sent from the contiguous unit.

(01:26:00):
It states that's also true for mail like holiday cards.
December eighteen is the priority mail deadline. December twentieth for
priority mail. But I got to tell you, having worked
for the Post Office and a mail processing center between
high school and college during the holiday season, I can
tell you if you really want something to arrive, send
it early and ensure it or require a signature upon

(01:26:21):
delivery to make sure it doesn't get stolen after delivery. So,
in addition to all the problems you might have with
the post office, there, of course the problems you might
have afterwards. I can't tell you everything that goes on
in that processing center, but let me tell.

Speaker 1 (01:26:34):
You a little soap opera, little soap opera going on there.

Speaker 7 (01:26:38):
What I mean, just it operated at two percent efficiency.
And I was such a past worker. They had to
put me in a room by myself because I made
all the other workers look bad. They'll ask me more
about it later, but it was it was bad, Okay,
I couldn't believe it.

Speaker 1 (01:26:58):
Well, I do appreciate it, and we'll chat tomorrow. Okay,
we'll talk to you then. All right, there you go.
Denise Pellegrini, Bloomberg News. All right, real quick, I just
got a couple of stories been hanging on. I love
this guy. Let's see here. What is his name? Coal Birtles?
All right? Thirty three year old Coal Bertles, according to police,

(01:27:19):
kicked in the front glass door of a circle. K Uh,
what town was this in? Why wouldn't you put the
town name in here?

Speaker 5 (01:27:34):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (01:27:34):
Here we go, St. Charles. Okay, all right, So he
kicks in the front glass of the convenience store and
goes inside, and, according to security footage and the police,
then proceeds to eat an entire bag of beef jerky
and drink a sweet tea. This happened like two point
fifteen in the morning, so the circle k was closed

(01:27:56):
clearly when police arrive, Bertle was still there, having just
consumed his sweet tea and baggage jerky. What kind of
jerky was it? This is important. I was Jacklinx. I'm
sorry if you guys like Jacklink, seth, I don't consider
Jacklinks jerky. We can start this fight tomorrow again. A
jerky needs to be really thitted, but dry, really really dry.

(01:28:20):
Jacklinks is good, but I don't consider it jerky in
the traditional sense. So that's just me.
