Episode Transcript

(00:37):
All right, good morning everybody,and welcome. It is Friday. It's
it's two for Friday. Two fordo something we haven't done in a while.
We're gonna have not one but twoguests. Uh one you probably know.
At eight oh five, Pete Calendarwill join us. And boy,

(00:59):
what a week, man, whata week it is or has been.
Where's I guess technically still is bigold fat, thirty billion dollars budget.
We all get to fun with ourtaxes. That'll be fun. That's good.
Everybody's miserable, so I guess theywould say, well, that's a

(01:21):
good agreement. They're all a bunchof treacherous scum. The governor off,
if you just do this, I'llbe nice. And he's just been a
piece of garbage in every tag orevery tweet i've seen him, him put
out or his people. I didn'tsee that tagged RC. But there are

(01:44):
things too. Oh and the lawmakers, in addition to the budget thing,
yesterday they passed they passed a lawsaying that you'll have to have if you're
a porn site, you're gonna haveto require age verification. Louisiana so far
is the only one to actually passthat and I want to say that they

(02:09):
talked to some of the adult websitesand they said they saw an eighty percent
of reduction of people coming in theLouisiana because, believe it or not,
people don't want a porn site tohave all of their identification, which I
think is part of the reason youdo it right if you're a lawmaker who

(02:32):
wants to find yet another way toinject yourself into something. So we got
that and look, it's petty,but it was petty getting petty, Okay,
so petty on petty violence, Idon't mind. Are you aware of

(02:57):
what happened to Ross's representative? Thisis your dude, by the way,
he represents your your little slice ofheaven up there and Wake Forest, so
you should be outraged. He's amoon Beth though, So you have to
know how this started, right,That's that's going to be important context here.

(03:23):
So Wake Forest Representative Terrence Everett saidhe was on the House floor waiting
to vote on the budget when hewas informed that somebody was in his office
box and all of his stuff up. So they're boxing everything in his office.

(03:51):
Why because the speaker or whomever decidesthese things, I mean look,
Tim Moore and Philburger, those arethe two people running North Carolina. Just
know this also as signs offices.And they decided that his office was not

(04:15):
the office he needed. Instead,the office that he needed was in the
basement in a storage closet. It'sa rather big space. I will say
that judgment by the photo here thestorage closet. Yes. Representative Terrence Everett,

(04:42):
a Democrats, said he was onthe House floor waiting to vote when
someone boxed up all the stuff inhis old office building. Janitor said they
were told to clean out the supplyroom this morning. Everett then got a
letter from Tim Moore telling him themove was for his own good, all
right, And everyone was like,oh, it's so petty. It's so
petty. I want you to understandthat if you read ever, it's Timeline

(05:06):
he's talking. He was running thiswhole tax Tim Moore's doing taxpayer funded orgies
and was running around trying to getdistrict attorneys to dig into it. So
basically to do the political hit jobs, all the crap that they were doing
to Trump, he was trying toexecute on a local level. You don't

(05:28):
have to like Tim More, youdon't have to like the fact that the
you know, the woman he wasconnoodling with is separated from her husband.
We read the damn thing. It'smessy as it's messy as messy gets.
But a single allegation from a spernedlover, a guy who's who's really upset,

(05:54):
even if even if he's right,is not. That's not how you
move mountains to have major, highlypublicized investigate. He wanted it to.
This was a way to handicap TinMoore, or attempt to if you got
some other evidence, some video emerges, God, don't send it to me.

(06:15):
But if it emerges all of thatthen fine. But trying to get
this thing that you knew that allof your moonbat media buddies would run around
and it would be the only storythey would cover because of this pure salacious
nature of it. No, you'rebeing petty. It's politicized garbage. So
you belong where the garbage used tobe. I told you I'm sick of

(06:39):
everybody. I don't want to hearanyone whine in about it. You want
to play this game, you wantto play in the mud with everybody else,
then you gotta understand who's the biggerkid when it comes to hurling that
mud ball, right when you playdodgeball, wasn't there always one kid You're
like, please, God, don'tthrow at me? Right, because the

(06:59):
kid was like a minute away fromsigning a Yankees contract. I remember the
kid, Doyle, Oh Doyle reallyyeah, throw it at my head.
He'd be like, oh Doyle rulesevery single time. Wow. Yeah,
he had a high opinion of him. Was super fast though. I would
push girls in the way, freeequality, right, big, yeah,
you're not misogynistic, that's right,not me. So they moved him to

(07:29):
the base. But can you,I mean, can you even well up
a tear? All? Right?By the way, I have received all
of your all of your all ofyour memes of a certain red stapler having

(07:51):
dude who got himself moved to thebasement. I'm on it got all the
office based stuff, thank you.But it is funny. It's like the
first thing that pops in that pop, first thing that popped into my mind
too. Did they give him that? You know? I gotta tell you,

(08:11):
man, if Tim Moore had hada red stapler placed on his desk
in the closet in the basement thathe had never had before, I would
be busting a gut this morning,because then the inevitability as you got the
what's her bucket, van van vanhateful or whatever down in Apex. She
has a pretty big Twitter presence,so she's on there. She's like,

(08:35):
we're just worth the adults in theroom, and we're trying to just do
what's best for everybody, and thesemonsters keep doing this. Feel bad for
us, Send us ten dollars.And she is absent. She is just
as unbearable as all of them.You went out and you try to get

(08:56):
your political buddies to sit there anddo a salacious, high profile taxpayer fund.
Could you think of a more salacious, high profile story that the media
would not let go than taxpayer fundedorgies. That's that's an editor's dream,
man, or it would have beenwhen people still read their stuff. Ril

(09:22):
would probably have a whole panel thatthe tax fayer and the taxpayer funded orgy
panel, just to break down thelatest happenings each and every evening. I
would argue that's a lot more playingfor keeps than making you go work out
of a windowless basement room. Bythe way, first world problems go home.

(09:50):
You live in wake forest. Howabout that. If you don't have
any votes, go home and work. Ross says, other building his mansions
up there. I'm sure you haveone and sun blotting out buildings, but
those are only near him. Soall right, sorry, that's how we
chose to start. And they votedon the budget, so you know that

(10:13):
thing happened too. I guess that'swhy I started that whole segment. All
right, now, I mentioned andwe'll get into that with Pete. We
got two guests, guests Numeral Doseat seven o five Jennifer Martin from the
Merchants Association, or as you knowthem, if you don't know who that

(10:35):
group is, they're the group thatannually put on the Raleigh Christmas Parade,
and as we have documented here onthe show with fake puppy snuffings, the
city has decided that I think youneed one of those. And then when
the when, the when the feedbackgot too much, they all right,

(10:56):
you can have one, but we'regonna put rules in that really make it
not a parade and destroy children's dreams. And so that back and forth is
going, and I hope the MerchantsAssociation we'll find out a little more.
I hope they're going to reject thatout of hand, because I don't know
how you do that unless you geta bunch of Clydesdale's and then if they

(11:18):
spook, God help us. Allall right, six eighteen hang on,
Thank you. Casey is on ninetyfour five w PTI in the Triad and
one oh six one FM Talk inthe Triangle. All right, good morning,

(11:56):
and welcome back. It is thecase O Day Radio program. Who
wants to Solve a mystery? Doyou guys want to solve a mystery on
this on this beautiful morn Oh Ineed my button bar please, but I'm

(12:16):
sorry I had I'd made Ross turnit down. The prize good do do
do do? All right, We'regonna solve a mystery and it's called spot
the gaff. So Joe Biden hada little whoopsie last night. I know
you're shocked. It's a word problem. So follow along. So the eighty

(12:46):
year old president yesterday was hosting aGalla award That's Nice at a at an
event and started rambling on about theGospel of Matthew and his Father and all
of that. The award ceremony,which was taking place during the forty six

(13:11):
annual Congressional Hispanic Caucus institutes galla.All right, did you retain that information?
Now, I'm gonna play what hesaid. You tell me based on
that information? Where's the gaff?My dad taught me? And I mean

(13:33):
it sincer that my dad, yousay everyone, everyone is entitled to be
treated with dignity and respect. CongressionalBlack Hawk has embodies all those values.
Just think of the work we've donetogether on civil rights, labor rights,
healthcare, education. Did you spotthe gaff? The President who's providing the

(13:56):
award? The word recipient I believewas a woman who runs a let's see,
she's a kid. It's a Catholiccharity, so it's a it's a
sister, Norma Pimental who runs CatholicCharities of the Rio Grand Valley, Okay.
As part of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus'sforty six annual gala, the President

(14:20):
said this zechoh, and my dadtaught me, and I mean it sinceer
that my dad you say everyone,everyone is entitled to be treated with dignity
and respect. Congressional Black Caucus embodiesall those values. Just did you did
you pick up on it that time? Did you solve the mystery? So

(14:45):
I know it's early, and ifit is, I won't toy with you
any longer. He's at the CongressionalHispanic Caucuses awards show and he keeps calling
him the Congressional Black Caucus. I'mtold they're two different things. That's what

(15:07):
I heard. And by the way, they're they're all a joke anyway,
because like they'll keep Republicans out ofit. Remember Tim, Remember Tim Scott?
Tim Scott? Yeah, I knowit was Tim Scott wanted to get
in there. And they're like,nah, that new uh the guy from
Florida, the black representative from Florida. I can't remember his name, but

(15:28):
he's popping up everywhere. They're like, nah, because it's not it's they're
Democratic caucuses. But so with thatin mind, these are all your buddies,
and you can't tell the difference betweenthe Black Caucus and the Hispanic Caucus.
That's awkward, man, you knowwhat. I hope Twitter's right.

(15:50):
That's that's all I can take ipe. I hope Twitter's spot on. Man.
If you haven't seen what's trend inthis morning, boy, are you
gonna be surprised or you won't thenyou will. Some of you will be
surprised immediately, others surprise will comeshortly thereafter, and then you'll have about

(16:18):
as seven years or so to getover your surprise and then everything's fine.
Right, well, what what?What? Hold on? There's more?
Oh no, all right, wellwe'll get into that coming up. Casey
O Day Radio program. Hang on, keeping you connected. This is ninety

(16:40):
four five w PTI in the Triadand one oh six one FM Talk in
the Triangle. All right, goodmorning, it is six thirty five.
Glad to have you a long caseO Day radio program. For some reason,

(17:07):
trending right now is the Rapture.So that's why I have big news.
I mean, you couldn't do itat five fifty nine and to do
a whole show or what? What'sup with that? Man? I mean,

(17:32):
maybe it has started? What doyou? What do you? What
do you mean? Maybe you knowit's possible. I'm not. I'm not
in the air, so if ithad started, I mean, yeah,
I've got some bad news for you. Oh it's I'm not in the first
boarding group. Actually, I'm afterthe show down. I'm flying up to

(17:53):
New York City for at two atin the two o'clock hour. I'm gonna
gonna tell you what my flight iswhen you psycho pass anyway, so I'm
flying up New York City. Iwould be amazing if it happens there,
because I think if you're at thirtythousand feet, you're like first in.
You know, it's like first whenyou're like the first group to get on
the plane and there's luggage space,right, that's how that works, right.

(18:15):
Yeah. I'm not sure how theydetermined it was supposed to be today
either, no idea that was gonnabe my next question. How does Twitter?
No? All I know is Iwoke up. I'm like, hey,
what's trending? Yep, Yeah,there's the rapture over like nine thousand
posts yep. Like what's this about? Click it? I'm like, oh,
today is the day. I guessthey crunch some numbers, they figured
it out. I thought, noman shall know. And it wasn't even

(18:41):
about the rapture, right, itwas just you know, when he's head
it, when he's coming back.Wouldn't that thought? Didn't that kind of
say that in the Bible, noman shall know? I'm not sure it
doesn't even like the rapture is notin the Bible, is it No,
no, no, no, I'mnot talking. I just mean, you
know, the beginning of the end, so to speak. Right, I
don't think the raptures in the Bible. The rapture was always confusing to me.

(19:03):
I thought that, like I thoughtthe rapture or something that showed up
around like the eighteen eighties or somethinglike like later on. Yeah, yeah,
yeah, I don't remember, butyou're right, it was something a
little later on. And like youknow, like a lot of things within
the Bible sometimes we try to create, you know, things are allegories.

(19:23):
It is open to interpretation. Yeah, like did did this thing? Did
the story in the Bible happen exactlylike that? Or is it the message
that was the you know, thepoint and it you know, don't take
it literally, but yeah, toknow which date is? Although what I'm
trying to I was trying to thinkabout this, how many this is the

(19:48):
last day? Days have we done? Shows? So many of us,
so many It never pans out.We just gotta come back to work the
next day, Like twenty twelve,back in the day, why two k's
and oldie but a goody, Yeah, twenty twelve. And then there was
another random one, and I don'tremember how that originally. Of course you

(20:10):
have Planet X. Oh deboo U, yes, where's our deboou listener to
update us on how that's going.Remember how mad that dude he used to
get out of you? So pissedoff I couldn't read his emails on the
air. The Planet X day wouldcome around, and then the goal posts
and move. Oh, we forgotto carry the decimal the one pm theorem.

(20:36):
It's actually in two weeks. It'sjust that meme of Julia Roberts with
all the math going on overhead.Ah, what if it's not the rapture
but it is Planet X today?Do you get half credit? I'm not
sure how that works? All right, So I guess if at some point

(21:00):
you don't start ascending, probably shouldn'thave kept that twenty you found on the
on the floor in the store,Okay, without at least trying, you
know, without asking do better?I mean you can't, right, she

(21:22):
should have done better? I guess. Oh, anyway, it does.
It did make for cool TVs andcomic books and their TV shows and movies
and all that. And again Ithink we tried to vision. Maybe maybe
somebody can help me out of thecloth, as they say, help me
with the rapture? Is that anallegory? Because Ross is right, that

(21:45):
wasn't a thing initially, and thenit was a thing, and I don't
really understand it. And frankly,I don't want to go to Wikipedia for
religious history, considering who enters mostof the Wikipedia stuff. But I and
if you believe, I don't wantto insult it. I'm just telling you
it wasn't you know, It wasn'tsomething that I had a lot of background

(22:07):
in growing up, but it wasa concept I was aware of, and
I guess I always chalked it upto it's you know, it's an allegory
when if you try to match itup with the way that you know his
return is is talked about within theBible to the extent that we know.
But the one thing I do rememberis no man shall know. So I
don't know how Twitter knows, unlessJesus got a Twitter account and has trouble

(22:34):
keeping secrets, which I suspect hedoesn't. So anyway, all right,
six six forty one case D radioprogram. That's right, we're having a
rapture discussion. It's a thing that'shappening this morning, and I didn't pick
it. So eight eight eight ninethree four seven eight seven four doo do

(22:57):
doo, doo doo. All right, we get some calls coming in.
We'll get in on this. Ohoh hold on, Uh yeah, Chris,
what's up, hey, Casey,Goodmarens. Thanks for taking my call.
It's the Ford Rapture. They're tryingto sell trucks because the evs are
you're telling full me, sir.I know it's the Raptor. Oh,

(23:18):
I'm sorry, man, I can'tread either. I thought I was rapture
this whole time. I was gonnabuy the truck, but I guess not
now. So well, that wouldbe good because that means Elon's getting some
advertising dollars back from some of themore traditional companies. Love you, guys,
than you. What if you're inAfford Raptor and then the rapture,

(23:41):
does the Ford Raptor come with you? Or do you just you know,
phase through the ceiling and then you'reon your way And then if you don't
go, at least you got aspeedy truck to get away from the hordes.
Yes, Wade, what's up hey, morning morning? You know the
right. You're exactly right. TheRapture of Plot is a very good book

(24:06):
that explains the rapture. It wasMargaret McPherson was a young lady's name.
She had a dream in eighteen thirtyand she said at the time the dream
was evil. Scofield and some ofthe other preachers of the time. Rand
with the theory, had a giantrevival and planted the idea that it was
gonna be any moment return of Christ. It was sucked the believers upright up

(24:27):
into heaven. Fortunately, that's justnot biblical. The Trible very clearly states
that you know, no man isto know the hour. That's what I
said. You're close casing and yeah, and you know, and what it
is, guy, this so simple. There's an Antichrist coming, and that's
a fake Christ. He's gonna looklike Christ. He's gonna perform miracles.

(24:49):
It says he can call lightening downfrom heaven. He's probably gonna have you,
Grandma and grand Daddy's standing there andnot really looked just like him telling
his Christ. The whole world mostlyis gonna believe his Christ. But it's
not. It's the fake. It'sfive months maybe just two and a half.
Well, i'll tell you, I'lltell you. I'll tell you this,
sir. If Twitter thinks they knowthe hour of the rapture, my

(25:10):
audience thinks they know who the antiChrist is. Every election cycle I get
these emails. So truder is thescience. Yeah. Yes, those are
two words never used together. Forexample, it's a six six six deal.
That's to six seal to six lto six Trump. That's Satan Antichrist
seven seven seven seventh seal seventh thousand, seventh Trump, that's the treat Christ.

(25:32):
So we're supposed to wait. Ialways wanted to say, he won't
be taken out of feel if they'retaken by the Antichrist. He tells you,
he tells you wait, wait,wait, be patient, be patient.
Wait. So I don't want toknow if so, Now, if
you are the one floating away,you're going that you're a bad person.
No, they're not gonna fluat,They're gonna fake you. Okay, all

(25:52):
right, that's what I think.You can you imagine how you could dupe
the American public, Sir, willalso probably be a super are Also,
it sounds like that'd be too hardto do. It's gonna be it's gonna
be tough. Yeah, he gotyour mind. Solid it. Here's you
to the first supernatural being you eversay on this earth. He claims to
be quiet. Who ever, pitchyourself if you feel it, it ain't

(26:14):
him. There you guys. Okay, all right, all right, sir,
I appreciate the call this morning.Okay, thanks for bringing up Yeah,
well take thank thank thank Twitter,sir God Twitter. All right,
thank you. All right. Thatman's got energy. I like him.

(26:36):
I'm I'm slightly less confused on themain topic, but now I'm more confused
on a bunch of other stuff.If the high bar is they're going to
be able to dupe the American public, we're doomed. Man guy might as
well roll in tomorrow and just youknow, give him some free stuff,
Give him some COVID bucks, callhim rapture bucks. American public is not

(27:02):
gonna care if you're sending them acheck. All right, six forty five
k c O day radio program.Hang on, this is one oh six
one FM Talk in the Triangle andhere's talk w PTI and the Triad.

(27:25):
Yeah. It's really slow though,and the GPS doesn't work so well.
It's telling ross I got a newChevy Limbo yesterday, I got my pontiac
purgatory. Oh wow, yeah,that must suck to write it does,
doesn't sounds like any fun, superboring. Oh well, look at that.

(27:45):
Everyone's getting new h new rails.D's awesome. All right, So
six fifty two, we're probably notgetting raptured today. So that's good or
baited on penn on, how youlook at it, it's bad. I
don't know. I don't know.I've got a busy schedule. So there's
that the president can't tell when he'sat the Congressional Black Caucus or the Congressional

(28:10):
Hispanic cofer Caucus. And I meanit sinceer that my dad, you say,
everyone, everyone is entitled to betreated with dignity and respect. Congressional
Black Hawcus have bodies, all thosevalues. Just think of the work we're
done together on civil rights, laborrights, healthcare, education. No,

(28:30):
all right, let me can Ihelp you know? Sometimes? Do you
RUSSI used demonic devices? Ever?Yes? They do? Okay, all
right, I find them incredibly helpful. Little little memory tricks, you know,
like what was the planet one?My very earthly mother just stold Uncle
Ned's pie. I don't know why. I remember that from like third grade.
But now there's no pie. Sooh yeah, no, we had

(28:52):
my very educated mother just served usnine pieces. I like that. You
get changed. The e even asa kid had bothered me because I thought
it was cheating to say my earthlymother. But whatever, all right,
educated? Wow, Look now who'sthe misogynist me? Okay, all right,
so let me help the president ofthe United States. Okay when it

(29:15):
when you're when you're talking to theBlack Caucus, you need to remember,
those are the people you say areyou're gonna they're gonna get put back in
chains? Okay, right, sothat's those are the back in chains people,
right, So maybe get him likea little you know, like an
emoji. Is there a chains emoji? I don't know if there's a chains

(29:37):
emo. I know there's an emojifor the other one I'm gonna use,
but I don't know if there's achain's emoji. Oh, I thought we
had the Biden chains thing. Iwas gonna play the audio and where was
that that was in? Uh?That was right up here and just in
the listening area. But Virginia,is that in Danville? Where he said
that? And Danville. All right, So those are the chains the put

(30:03):
them back in chains people, right, because you said that your political opponents
want to put them back in chains. And then the Hispanic caucus. Those
are the different tacos people, accordingto your wife, right, remember,
Joe Biden. As distinct as thebogadas of the Bronx. I forgot about

(30:26):
the bogadas part. Does she meanBogata Columbia or does she mean Bodega?
She means Bodega. Well that's noteven a bad part. As distinct as
the bogadas of the Bronx, asbeautiful as the blossoms of Miami, and

(30:48):
as unique as the breakfast tacos herein San Antonio, as unique as the
breakfast tacos of sa in Todio.Now, don't get me wrong. I
love a breakfast taco. Sign meup for a breakfast taco. Good breakfast
tacos. And I had a buddyused to live in Houston and like and

(31:12):
so I went down to visit fora few days, and you know,
he's like, yeah, you usedthe extra room radio buddy I used to
work with, and and like hisyou know, his wife would love to
cook breakfast and I'd be out thedamn door when I woke up to go
to one of the three thousand gasstations that sells breakfast tacos because I don't

(31:33):
get I'll get that every day.There's a couple of places here in North
Carolina where you could find them.Over on Capitol there's they got one of
those joints. But man, Ifound the one with the good charizo.
I was game on mmmm, breakfasttacos. So yeah, So, mister
President, I'd go with a tacoemoji and a chain emoji. So you

(31:56):
understand which minority you're attempting to dupeand keep on the you know, keep
on the team by attempting to scarethem of ever deviating in their thought process.
It's very important, very important thingfor you to do. Also,

(32:22):
how much is enough for you pumpkinspice people? Do you know it's the
twentieth anniversary of that. I justsaw this at this point. It's the
twentieth anniversary of pumpkin spice lattes,which set off pumpkin spice everything. You've
had a good run. Can webe done with this? How long did

(32:42):
disco last? It wasn't twenty yearsand many of you listening. Probably had
pretty good time during that. Butthen you're like, what are we doing?
Why do I own these pants?Why has this whole thing got a
boon in it? Right? Orhowever? You know, however you celebrate,
but it didn't last twenty years.Remember Jenko's. If you're of my

(33:10):
generation, you remember Jenko's. Rememberthose jeans that were the size of a
tug boat. They were so widein you know, the hippie kids would
wear them, right, that didn'tlast twenty years. Nah, Back in
my neighborhood, it was like thegangster kids wore them. Well, you

(33:32):
have to understand a greb wyoming.So unless you want to Malibu's most wanted
scenario, it's not happening out there. So but still I remember I remember
looking at those and okay, wellit doesn't matter he's wearing them. They
looked dumb, didn't they. Ohyeah, there was never a point where
it's like I need those. Yes, why they didn't last twenty years?

(33:58):
All of this stuff, they're superex everyone's super excited. Gone, maybe
less so on the Jankos with thedisco right, so no, no kick
the habit this year's say no sorry. I was at a restaurant yesterday and
like two of the taps, perfectlygood beer taps. It could have perfectly

(34:22):
good Belgians in there or something atPumpkin Spice crap. Just say no,

(35:15):

(36:00):
Okay, all right, Ross,tellmy we're just right good. I
agree, so she won't. However, the group that puts on the parade
is not the city. I stillsee there's people who think that it's not
the city. The organization that putsit on is and it's a mouthful Shop
Local Raleigh Greater Raleigh Merchants Association.I'm just gonna call it shop Local or

(36:21):
Merchants Association, and I'm gonna chatwith the woman behind the scenes is having
to do all this negotiating, allthis organizing, and that is Jennifer Martin
from the organization. Jennifer, howyou doing this morning? And well,
thanks for having us. I'm gonnacall you this Merchants Association and stumble over
it, so I apologize in advance. Okay, all right, that's fine.

(36:42):
First of all, give me thescope of who your group is,
just so people. I mean,it's somewhat self explanatory, but how many
businesses we talk and how many folksare are part of this organization, and
what's your goal is? As anorganization, Sure Shop Local Rally, we
try and work with locally owned,independent small businesses all throughout the county.

(37:02):
Primarily all of our members are wallybased, and we do work with them
day to day, whether it's helpingthem within in consulting work, if it's
an advocacy work, if it isjust being an ear and a voice with
them, connecting them, giving themeducational seminars, training, anything a small
business owner might need. And thenwe also put together a program to give
them competitive advantages that a big boxmight have. That they won't have as

(37:27):
an individual, Okay, and thenyou guys involve yourself with you know,
with various events. Obviously, theevents have the net impact of drawing people
into the county, into the city, into the wherever the area is,
and generating revenue right because people areshopping or maybe they're discovering a store for
the first time. I mean,this is part of what you do,
that's right. I mean from anoutset perspective, it does look like we

(37:50):
operate like a chamber by day,you know, for those small businesses.
But then we also part of ourmission is to connect business in community together
and how we do that as throughevent and so we're very heavy on social
media, having a presence on Facebookand Instagram, you know, connecting the
consumers, making sure they're aware what'shappening in our area. We're very passionate
about our town, you know,keeping the small businesses or the backbone of

(38:13):
our economy, and they're really theheartbeat and the soul of what we do
here. And so with these events, it gives small businesses an opportunity to
market themselves to the Kennedy but italso creates vibrancy and events and like you
said, it does create tax revenuein jobs. And I don't care where
you go in anywhere in the trianglefor that matter. Right now, you

(38:34):
could have lived, you could havebeen born here and never went on vacation
anywhere, and you could still beconstantly surprised. That's the look at that
new business. I mean, thatis the growth that is going on right
now. So people getting downtown.If you haven't been downtown in a few
months, I bet there's probably threerestaurants you've never heard of that are that
are there now easily easily. Andyou know, with the small businesses collectively,

(38:59):
when you put them all together,they are the largest employer in our
area. And I mean that's youknow, a lot to think about when
you look at it that way.Right now, we have over eight hundred
members. Pre pandemic, we wereover a thousand, So obviously we're still
working ourselves to come back to thatas well. But we serve a lot
of people in our community, whichis a lot of tax revenue. Yeah,
yeah, And that's that's going tocome into play here because I want

(39:21):
to kick into two things, andwe're going to start with what we've been
chatting about. This week. TheChristmas Parade, for those who don't know,
is roughly the same age as thepresident, you know, right around
eighty years minus a couple World Wartwo years and a video version. But
how long have you guys specifically beendoing the Christmas Parade? Your organization putting

(39:43):
it together? Sure, all ofthem day and actually founded it. Part
of the parade is the old historyof Raleigh where downtown Raleigh Stay at Bell
Street was the original retail district atthis town. You know, Belk actually
started down there back in the daylaIt's called Hudson Belk. I'm a lot
of those businesses there is a andBurke's Hardware, things like that, and
they all came together and wanted togive a gift back to this community,

(40:06):
you know, thank them for supportingthem, for helping employ them, keeping
them going. And that's actually whyit is also the weekend before Thanksgiving.
It's because black sidea happens and sothose most tends would be busy, but
they wanted to always give a giftback to this town. When you guys,
when you look back to what happenedlast year and the tragedy that struck

(40:28):
as one of the one of thegirls. I wish it was a dance
team or a baton team. Ican't I'm sorry if I can't remember.
And you know, obvious, obviouslyat that point, you guys had to
take a look at what was goingon within the parade, the rules,

(40:49):
the requirements, the family of thatgirl, where it was working with the
legislature to actually put together some somelegislation. I read it. It seemed
mostly reasonable. What did that causeyou guys to do proactively before you ever
came to the city asking for anotherpermit for this year's event. Sure,
you know, I think a lotof things happened. Obviously, we're individuals

(41:14):
ourselves, and we have grieved everysingle day since that day. I mean,
it's been one of the hardest thingsto have to go through. And
considering that family that they're going to, I can't even imagine. And so
we looked at this and said,Okay, we've got it. We've got
to fix this. We gotta makethis right for next year. How do
we honor this family, this child, and then how do we improve and
making sure that not only is thisparade safe, but how do we improve

(41:37):
every single how can we work withthe sea of rally to improve every single
event. And so we're brought intogether a committee of people with past experience
and events safety management doing different eventsthemselves, and brought them to the table
and said, okay, let's lookat this, and came up with a
set of rules and regulations and requirementsthat we would mandate that have to be

(42:00):
followed, you know by all participantsand things like, you know, knowing
the towing capacity of the trailers,knowing the weight limit of the trucks,
of towing capacity, you know,all of those factors that would play in
the age of drivers back in youknow, knowing their license, their inspection
history, knowing having a passenger inthe car with windows rolled down. And

(42:21):
furthermore, we we looked at havinga safety consultant come on board and had
been in talks with them since themorning of day would actually do the ones
to actually inspect every vehicle to makesure the tires look good, you know,
confirmed that the driver we had beentold was coming is actually the one
coming, all those kind of things, and checked that all before it left
the start line that morning. Sorry, but microphone is actually weird. Uh

(42:45):
yeah, I want to get thaton the record, because when I then
saw the story and and oh,and also keep in mind that the city
of Raleigh, during from from thepoint of your Christmas parade last year to
your application this year, had permittedmultiple other parades, but did include some
additional safety stuff, a lot ofwhich was what you you were just talking

(43:07):
about. So I wanted that allout there because I, like many others,
was shocked when I when I sawthe miryor's response that no, we're
not going to give you the permit, We're going to do some other holidays
something or other whatever, but itand then the reasons why, which included
the family who I in my opinion, and you don't. You can agree

(43:30):
or disagree or not comment, that'sfine. I think that that was the
most horrific thing that she did becauseit gave people the impression that the family
didn't want the parade, and thatwas not true. The family didn't want
the parade, they wanted additional safetymeasures, of which you seemed to be
meeting what those are, So Ithought that that was a cop out.

(43:51):
Then there was a lawsuits, blaminglawsuits. The city was not being sued.
It was shocking to me, howshocked for you guys, when they
initially said no, you know,it was very disappointing. We actually mentioned
and again at this time we weretold that the decision was coming from city
council, that they had weighed inon this. We later learned that they

(44:13):
had not weighed in on this asa whole, and that this was more
of a scaff decision right now.When we when we got the call and
met with them, it was avery quick call. It was a very
abrupt call, and about thirty minuteslater the media had the press release so
that this is not happening. Butduring that call we did mention to them
that in the lawsuit, on thefirst page of the family did mention they
did not want to pray to continueor to end, and to us,

(44:36):
we knew, okay, we haveto do this, we have to keep
going and we have to make theseimprovements for it, and we mentioned that
on the call, but unfortunately,you know, that was not taken into
consideration. And so it's a lotof work on us to do these events.
We don't take them lightly. Weare very We love serving our community
and when you work for a nonprofit, a lot of people know these are
labors of love. You don't workforty hours a week. You work much

(44:59):
more than you do it because youlove it. Yeah, especially this time
of the year with all the eventsgoing on to the other events, I
lost my mind. We were wewere aggressive in our coverage, but that's
fine, that's what I do.And I further lost my mind again when
it looked like the city was goingto try to save a little face and

(45:21):
come back and say, all right, you can have it, but you
can't have motors or floats or vehiclesor any of that other stuff. It's
a purely Stone age era parade.And because I'm like one, that doesn't
work for everything that people have cometo expect with these parades and and how

(45:42):
people some people choose to participate inthese parades because they have mobility issues.
That doesn't work. And I wouldhate for your organization to just go okay,
because it's allowing a very bad decisionby somebody who just doesn't get it,
in my opinion, to not looklike the person that they are being
here. So I am glad tosee that you guys have not You didn't

(46:05):
just agree to that and go on. So let's talk about that process and
where you are now. Sure,sure. So we were called less than
twenty four hours later with the optionof having a non motorized parade. And
our concern, like you mentioned,is the mobility issues. You know,
we asked about having golf carts tohelp with those and things like that.
Unfortunately those are not approved and we'vewith that, We've taken too consideration.

(46:30):
You know, obviously you've got youcan have horses, you can have bands,
you can have animals, you canhave dancers, but how do you
get the music down the street?How do you base out the music from
the animals, And that's also abig concern, making sure that you know
animals, those floats a lot oftimes are buffers between that. Yeah,
horses can be jerks having raised withbeing raised with horses, man, and

(46:51):
especially with crowds around. But yeah, no, it's a very good point.
I didn't even think of. Iwant to make sure, yeah,
yeah, I mean, you don'twant to put a marching band next to
a horse, and so things likethat we try to be very very careful
of. And so it's going tocreate obviously, you know, we were
what sixty days when the news broke, we're now is it fifty six days
away? That including weekends, Soa lot of work is going to have

(47:15):
to happen to figure out how wecreatively do this, but how we also
give this city what they you know, has come to love and know to
the caliber. I mean, it'stelevised throughout the state. And when we
had this option to do this,it was it was a very quick option
that needed to be answered, andat the end of the day, you
know, we said, we're committedto make things this parade happen. We

(47:36):
want this for the city of Rali, for the people, for the residents,
for the community, and it wasin that litigation that they wanted to
continue. We knew we had tocontinue, and so with that we accepted
it that we would we would dothe parade because we'd said we want this
to happen for this town. However, we then since learned that the council

(47:57):
did not weigh in on the matter, and some counselors asked us for the
opportune for us to at least presenta safety plan since we were not given
that plan before that option to dothat, and so the only option was
to speak at city council in thatpublic comment section, which we had a
three minute opportunity to present to themthat we just wanted it. We wanted
them to reconsider. They didn't giveyou. I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

(48:17):
They didn't give you your own agendaitem. If there was request by council
members to hear from you, theagenda was already set at that time.
So the way the process works,we'd have to wait until the next meeting
to get our own agenda item.And so we were only a late allowed
to do that. Bats garbage.I've covered city council for years, early
on in my career. If theywant to add something, they added,

(48:39):
well, there was a process todo it unanimous. I don't Yeah,
if I don't know how all thatworks, Yeah, I guess I don't
know specifically Raleigh's rule. I'm sorry. I'm just so disappointed in all of
this. And so you're gonna soyou spoke, and then what do the
councilors say, what, we're goingto have a vote on this, We're
gonna look at it, We're goingto ignore you. I mean, what's
going to happen? No, wewere told thank you, and then one

(49:00):
counselor did ask the question and askedus to go ahead and say you have
said, you have a safety preventation, you have requirements, can you tell
us more about those? And thatgave us the opportunity to start sharing some
of what we've worked on in ourplans, and then we were asked to
email the document to all of themto review. We actually had printed out
copies, so we handed them toprinted out copies and emailed all of them

(49:22):
with that information. All right,and this is I only have two minutes,
and I just want to hit youon this. Would the thing that
you should the thing that you shouldbe talking to council members over should not
be having to slice anddise how thisparade works. This should be perfunctorary.
It should be what is going ondowntown and many other places in the city

(49:44):
of Raleigh that your membership, whoprovides millions and millions in revenue for this
city, are doing about the safetyconcerns there. Would you mind hanging on
and talking about that? Sure?Absolutely, because I think that's another really
big issue. And so with theparade, you're just on a weight and

(50:05):
here approach, right, that's whereyou are right now. But the parade
will go down one way or theother though, correct, correct? Okay,
all right? It's so frustrating.All right, Jennifer, I'm gonna
throw you on hold. Is JenniferMartin from the Greater Raleigh Merchants Association.
And yes, if there if theparade insanity wasn't enough, there's also the

(50:30):
safety concerns. You've heard about itpeople people, You had a manager at
a restaurant who was literally beaten todeath. You've had so many police interactions
where they've had to be called peoplewith weapons, drugs, fights after fight
after fight, and it all servesto detract from people who've made big investments

(50:52):
in the community to provide what itis the community says that they want,
and for whatever reason, I don'tfeel like the city is providing the services
back to them. So we'll seewhat Jennifer thinks. We'll do it.
Next, it is the k cO Day Radio program. Hang on one
oh six one FM Talk and ninetyfour five w PTI, two stations driving

(51:15):
the best in talk. This iscase O Day and Carolina's Morning News.
All right, welcome back, Goodmorning everybody. It is seven thirty six
here on the k c O DayRadio program. We were chatting and we're
going to continue to chat because Igot two things on my list with Jennifer

(51:39):
Martin from the Shop Local Raleigh GreaterRaley Merchants Association, organizers of the Christmas
Parade, and where it stands rightnow, Christmas Parade nothing motorized, and
maybe some interest on the part ofsome of the city council members if there's
a safety plan that perhaps they canrevisit that, but who knows. Jennifer

(52:04):
Martin joining us. Jennifer, I'msorry, I didn't have one other Christmas
thing, and I want to drivethis point home with something that was posted
online and it was it was astory about one of the people who participates
in your Christmas parade. And Iread it on the air the other day
and let's just say, got alittle dusty. Here a young man who

(52:28):
has lost he had lost both ofhis parents, He had he had turned
into a shell of his former self. He stopped speaking, and it was
the experience of getting to participate inthe parade and all of the all the
magic that that brings for a kidthat had his grandmother in tears with how
it was changing him back to thekid that she used to know. Is

(52:52):
that an accurate recitation of it,that is that is and I think what
people may may not realize is wehave those stories every single year. And
you know, I mean, youknow, I'm a believer, I know
what Christmas is about. But alsothis parade to so many people, it's
about bringing people together. It's aboutstarting the celebrating of the season. And
this one event. Another reason wejust love it so much is you look

(53:15):
and you see the crowd. Iknow, people get there at four am
to start saving their seats and that'sthat's commitment. And they come and they
say, you know what, likeI was in the parade as a kid
and now my kid is in it, or I'm here to see my grandchildren
because I was in it when Iwas in school. And again going back
to why we agreed to go onno matter what is our kids deserve this.

(53:37):
You know, when we went virtualin twenty twenty, my staff and
I we went around all these differentlocations filming them and taking this back with
the news station and editing the videosso that they could still have a chance.
These kids have. You know,they lost COVID during that twenty twenty
year. They lost so much.Now that you come back, we had
twenty twenty one obviously twenty twenty two, they and then now you know it's

(54:00):
in theres now. A lot ofthese kids that refresh from back then and
this is their chance to march andto participate. And a lot of these
bands will use the footage from thisevent to submit to other parades like the
Rose Bowl Parade or the Macy's DayParade, things of that nature for their
consideration video for them to participate.Yeah, this is there's there's so much.

(54:20):
I'm sorry, finish your thoughts.Going back to the child that we
mentioned, you know, that's that'sliterally what got him, made him come
alive again, if you will,made him be human again. And there's
so many stories like that. Withlast year, we had a girl that
you know, stage war cancer andso she wanted to walk with her band,
but couldn't do to her mobility issueswith her legs and cancer, and

(54:43):
so we rented a golf cart forher as a surprise to have that.
And so there's we don't I don'tthink we realize sometimes for kids what this
means and why we continue this forthem. We work with a lot of
the local nonprofits with kids that haveissues related to different f you know,
autoimmune diseases, so we identify placesalong the route that have window seating so

(55:05):
that they can sit upstairs and stillwatch it and not be compromised with the
crowd. I mean, yeah,I can't. I can't. The things
that we'll never know about what goesinto putting a parade on is is why
you you told me you were like, I'm I was up till two in
the morning the other day or yesterday, and it's just we we love doing

(55:25):
this and again we're we consider ourselvespartners with the city of brow and a
lot of events, our event thatDick's Park that we do, the Fall
festival, you know, we helpwith the bluegrass event, doing this parade,
it's all in partnership and we justsimply want to continue that partnership and
do this the right way. Youknow, I think that there's an opportunity
here. We understand last year's concerns, we do, but we've really worked

(55:45):
hard to overcome that. And youknow that we've researched too. There's other
parades across the country that have hadaccidents and tragedies, but all of them
continued the next year, and theycontinue and you find a way to pay
it forward and honor that person orthat grew or whatever it might be,
because again, our kids deserve this. I don't think I'm I'm going to

(56:07):
disagree with you. From my perspective, I don't think they're your partner,
because partners are partners, right,And I think with this right here,
this is not showing partnership. Haveyou considered telling the marriage she give me
the Grand Marshal and getting her ascepter or something, I mean, overcome
this? And I don't, AndI question the partnership approach to when it

(56:28):
comes to protecting the investment that yourmembers have made in this community, their
physical investments, and their physical safety. When we continue to see stories and
anecdotally hear things. I was talkingto some folks who work at a very
very well known, long time downtownrestaurant yesterday about like some of the stuff

(56:52):
they've noticed from safety concerns, andit's it's mind boggling. And then when
I hear discussion about unarmed with noarrest power security guards somehow supplanting the work
the police need to be doing becausethey have those arrest powers, I don't
feel they're being a good partner toyou. Guys. So you don't have
to agree with me, but talkabout your concerns and the concerns of your

(57:15):
membership, because I know some ofthem, and I know some of them
have sat in their back rooms withfirearms to protect their stuff. This is
out of hand, Jennifer, it'sout of hand. I think downtown rolling,
especially Fayetville Street District quarter or especially, is still fighting to come back.
I mean, you know, weobviously know we had the riots,
we had the protests, we hadthe pandemic, but you know, people

(57:37):
are not back in office in thelarge majority. There's a lack of foot
traffic. There is a lot ofissues down there. You know, the
crime that's happening at the bus stationthere's it is a it's a huge concern,
and we get calls every day froma lot of our businesses all over
town, but especially in that FetaleStreet district that say, we need help,
We need help people, our customersaren't coming here, or this happened

(58:00):
or that happened, or this incident. I've called, you know for nine
one one or I've called police,and I don't know what to do anymore.
Like it's becoming a daily incident wherethey're calling. I know that we
ourselves have contacted DCX corporate asking themto hire some security outside of their store,
just knowing that that is such ahot spot of activity and with that

(58:20):
DVX store, and that it isa problem in downtown. You know,
again, I don't know what todo. We've offered solutions to the Alliance
Downtown of can we help program eventsbecause events do bring foot traffic. So
if we program, if we doweekly programming to get people back down here,
will that help, you know,alleviate some of this the people that
are not doing good. You know, I don't know what the solution is.

(58:43):
What we are definitely willing to sitat the table and to be part
of discussions and proactively jump in androll up sleeves to do wherever we can
to help clean this up because itis a problem. We're also hearing from
members in North Frawley. You know, there's been a lot of smashing grabs
lately. People are going in overnightsmashing out windows, smashing windows at North
Hills, at North and it's themost vanilla No I don't mean this is

(59:04):
in an offensive way, but that'sthe most vanilla picturesque living slash shopping community
they have and they smashed a bunchof windows out the other day. Yeah,
I mean it's it's a grin.We are rapidly growing city. I
understand that, and with bigger citiesyou have bigger problems. But we also
have to handle those like bigger citiesand look at this and say, okay,

(59:25):
we got to get this in thecontrol now. You know, our
merchants up in North Rowley, theywere telling us it's it's thousands of dollars
in damage. It's there. Theymay be shut down that day for business
or the next. You know,their insurance point, their insurance premiums are
going up because ultimately they're the onesthey're going to have to pay for that.
And crime is on the rise.I think we've heard recently that the

(59:45):
business crime in our community is upfifty six percent, which means, you
know, robbing stores or breaking inthings like that, fifty six percents a
huge amount. And we want tosimply be a part of helping a How
do we help be a resource,be an advocate, be whatever we can
do. Our merchants heat this andyou know they're calling us and I don't

(01:00:07):
have the answers. I'm not securitytrained. I don't have that background,
but I want to help them andthat my heartboats show them is what they're
going through. No, we're rapidlyturning to the position where you see you
see this in some West Coast citieswhere people leave all their windows down and
their doors unlocked so they don't haveto replace windows. Right, They're like,
you want to root around in mycar? Here you go. And

(01:00:29):
in downtown Raleigh is becoming I livedin downtown Raleigh when I first moved to
North Carolina, and there were therethere were always things that you wish you
had down there, like a grocerystore, an ABC store, uh and
many and those things are coming tofruition right now. It's never been more
livable and workable than it is rightnow. And the thing that is going

(01:00:51):
to decimate that is the crime.And so the city's got to get on
this all right, Jennifer, thankyou so much for so much of your
time this morning. I really hopethat the city council, and I don't
know if I the city council isnow going to look at your security plan,
which means if they still say no, then I'm gonna instead of just
the mayor, the council members sharea little bit of responsibility in this,

(01:01:15):
and they can all join in themayor slapping ice cream cones out of kid's
hands or whatever makes them feels.You don't have to say it, I'll
say it for you, Okay.I just want this to happen. And
I want that kid who speaks now, I want I want ten more of
him because you will never at thisstage of adulthood. It sucks, but
we'll never we'll never feel like Christmasfeels to a kid ever again. And

(01:01:38):
I really, I really wish wedid so. All right, thank you,
thank you for your time and allyour support on this. We do
appreciate you absolutely, and we appreciateyou guys working out there and all the
different events. Jennifer Martin there sevenforty six race stagic from the Weather Channel.
He joins us, what up,man? I don't know. I

(01:01:59):
just and over all this data,trying to figure all this out, all
this crunching some numbers. Yeah,is it? Well? Is wait?
Does it get thirty? Are youtrying to figure out how you guys are
gonna keep winning when you guys arepulling acls in practice. Well, I
at first I was figuring out wewere pretty close last night with thirty twenty

(01:02:20):
eight, so what would say I'veregested fourteen, then we said twenty one.
It's kind of a wash. Butyeah, yeah, no, no,
no, I'm talking about Diggs.Oh yeah, I know, well
not yours. Your Diggs is fine, his Digs, his bust Stefan.
I thought Willie panic difference John Diggs. Right, well, I'm gonna say

(01:02:43):
something, and I don't want Thisis just my opinion. I he's overrated.
I think he's overrated. A lotof his interesting Oh okay, give
me, I'll gonna fight you.No, no, no, no,
for for the Cowboys. Yeah,Trayvon Trayvon over I think overrated. I
mean right east, right time.I mean a lot of his interceptions last
year were almost gimmes. And hegot burnt plenty of times too. So

(01:03:06):
I wouldn't murder I wouldn't murder youfor anybody. For a secondary I don't
care. So you say Digs coulddo better even with the evil yea,
even with the boot, with theboot, Well who the Vikings scot this
week? Nobody see's over We don'ttalk to Okay, that sounds good.

(01:03:28):
Maybe on the west coast, yeah, okay, some impact is some of
these. I picked one out justbecause of it's the closest one East Carolina
against Gardner Webb six o'clock tomorrow evening. So I picked that one because that
could have the most impact. Withthe rain and wind and the tropical storm
warnings on the eastern part of thestate. We'll get some rain here,

(01:03:51):
still thinking Triangle East, heaviest rain, the flood watches don't start to a
few counties off to the east ofus. Still could see quarter half an
inch, maybe up to an inchof rain. But if you're moving out
and about tomorrow, especially east,it's going to be nasty. The winds
could still dust even here. Tropicalstorm force plus that's thirty nine plus miles
per hour maye to forty five tofifty in some areas as the low comes.

(01:04:14):
It's closest point tomorrow afternoon and tomorrowevening, and that's going to be
to the east of US. Soagain on the western edge to the triad,
less rain quarter of an inch orless, and then even less than
none into the mountains. So prettyvariable conditions across the state. Worst out
near where we'll get the water riseand anywhere from one to four or five
feet of storm surge or some stormsurge warnings also out near the coast.
So this is a potential tropical stycloneright now. Forecasts to become tropical storm

(01:04:39):
Aphilia later today. Maximum sustained windsnow at fifty. Hurricane Center things to
sixty and make it a little bitstronger. So this may be kind of
catching people off guard a little bit. Either way, things will start getting
better towards the end of the weekendand early next week, so try not
to take too much time. Thebottom line is wet and wetter as you
go east and windier, but stillfrom the triangle east. Pretty nasty day,

(01:05:01):
but conditions do worsen as you headcloser to the coast. All right,
now, let me uh the importantstuff right now? Yeah, yeah,
for all your other data. Hypothetically, if a radio host was to
get on a plane at the middleof the afternoon at r DU flying to
New York's in New York City,would there be potential weather impact? When

(01:05:25):
is this now this afternoon, middleafternoon. I'm going out of Raleigh.
It'll probably just be starting further offthe coast. No, all right,
I think you'll be okay, allright, yeah, you don't okay,
they'll find a way to screw itup, so well exactly, yeah,
all right, all right, thankyou sir. To the next hour and
we'll come back. We got PeteCalendar joined us at eight o five and

(01:05:47):
for all you guys looking for it, I've a viagra alternative science is here
for you. Hang on your daySmarter one six one FM Talk and News
Talk PTI more with Casey starts now. Oh yeah, yeah. The the

(01:06:21):
Internet is insults, it's undefeated,but it's also a bunch of a holes.
Can we disagree with that? Sosomebody created a video that ended up
going viral that was like you know, health health hacks or something, right,
and it's like, hey, didyou ever want to see if you're

(01:06:41):
pregnant but don't want to have togo buy a pregnancy test, which,
by the way, I don't evenI don't even know what those costs.
Ross I were just talking about,and like there's much organizations to give him
away for free, right, Soso what did they tell them? They
said they that if you want totest if you're pregnant, one of the
things that him and can do isto get a bowl of bleach and then

(01:07:04):
provide a sample. Do you understandwhat I mean? Number one into the
bleach, and if the bleach turnsa different color a certain color, you're
pregnant, and if it doesn't,you're not pregnant. The problem is when
you number one into a bowl ofbleach, you create mustard gas. Oh
no, that's not good. Theyhad a family that ended up having to

(01:07:25):
lock themselves in a far room andhe'd be rescued because the gas was blocking
their ability to get out of theirapartment. But like him, I knocked
up, and you're accidentally creating somethingthat was banned after World War One.
Yes, yes, and it's probablylike because you saw it on TikTok.
They are relatively cheap, I wouldimagine it. It's probably suppoor teenage girl
wondering if she's knocked up or pregnant. You know she's trying to hide it

(01:07:46):
and your parents, Now, no, right there. You know you're knocking
on your kid's door. You're worriedabout her. She's been a little quiet
at you know, just not somethingjust feels off as a parent, And
all of a sudden, the dooropens and mustard gas envelops. You dead
give away, dead give away,So don't do that. Okay, don't

(01:08:12):
create mustard gas. I can't believeI have to say these things out loud.
Don't eat slice cheese with plastic onit, and don't do it,
you know, do it yourself homemustard gas. Of course, now you
all know how to make mustard gas, so God help us. I mean
you should all own a gas mask. Anyway, we have several under my

(01:08:33):
bid. Yeah, and Lincoln thereyou got kids size for him. There's
so much fun, not terrifying atall. No, well, you put
like a spider Man, one ofthe old timey ones. Oh okay,
right, that wasn't even by theway, that wasn't even the health the
thing I was gonna do. I'mgonna save that story because I can't do
it in just forty five seconds.But let's just say, if you want

(01:08:56):
to save money on viagra, wegot some tips for you, and I
mean tips. Oh that story isso wrong, and we'll let's see.
Oh yeah, we got to getinto the insanity list stupidity yesterday of the
well, I'll probably talk a littleabout that with Pete Calendar. And remember

(01:09:17):
how we were talking about those homelessencampments, the one in Seattle with the
pool and then the one yesterday inDenver with a casino and a brothel and
a speak easy. Well, theygot nothing on Venezuelan prisons. Man,
they got nothing on them. We'llget to that, but Pete Calendar joins

(01:09:38):
us directly after the news. Hangon, all right, good morning everybody,

(01:10:18):
and welcome. It is eight ohseven here on the k c O
Day radio program phone number eight eighteight nine three four seven eight seven four.
To hold on to that. We'llget back to your calls and stuff
coming up later in this hour.But first, it's our radio buddy to
the South mid Day's WBT, PeteCalendar, who this morning walked in and

(01:10:42):
they've relocated your studio to the rackroom. Huh night, that's it isn't
an upgrade. Okay, sad actually, but supposed to be punishment. I'm
sorry if I talked about this earlieron the show. So wake forrest.
Rep. Terrence Everett has had hisoffice relocated by speaker more to a former

(01:11:05):
storage room in the basement over atthe the Capitol here in Raleigh, and
of course the von von hatefuls orvon Hoffen and and the rest of her,
the other Democrats, they are alwayson Twitter. They're they're outrage.
This is disrespectful. This this,this is a black mark on this institution

(01:11:27):
because they're all there to do hardwork and not politic and and they're you
know, and it's just petty.Never mind that this is the dude who
was trying to drag Das into operatinga salacious, full scale, media ready
investigation of taxpayer funded orgies so thatthey could attacked him more. And I'm

(01:11:47):
sorry pettiness, but gets pettiness.I don't care. That's where I'm at,
right. This is it's another Thisis another example of the hyper a
theater kid syndrome that we are apparentlyat the mercy of all of I guess
theater kids all grown up that engagein these types of over the top exaggerated,

(01:12:13):
exaggerative, performative theatrics. It's justit's, uh, it's just exhausting.
But look, is it petty?Yes? Yes, it is,
yes, absolutely, And that's yeah, like you get like you said,
it begets itself and so yeah,I find it difficult to really care.
I mean, it's a part timegig and you know, look, you
gave Tim Moore the opportunity to uh, you know, needle you back,

(01:12:39):
so suck it up. Buttercup,I mean arguably trying to enlist a witch
hunt because I think these they lookedat that and they went, Man,
that worked good on Trump, Right, let's do that to Tim Moore.
That's I don't even know if Idescribed that, petty, that's evil man
taxpayer funded orgies. Do you thinkRL could not or could stay away from

(01:12:59):
that for two seconds involving two more? No, no of course not no,
no, no no. And that'sthe thing, like of all of
the other things that you could actuallygo after lawmakers on, and there are
a number of things to go afterthe Republican leadership over. Yeah this like
this was this one was you know, trying to essentially weaponize the court system
against him, right, But LaurenFreeman the da Wait County was like,

(01:13:24):
yeah, no, we're not gonnawe're not gonna take this up. But
he got the headlines he wanted.So if you're going to use these levers
of government against your political opponents,then you can't cry when your opponents use
the levers at their disposal against youand so No, I don't care.
Now, maybe if he showed upwearing like gym shorts and some car hard

(01:13:45):
shirts or something. It's what I'mwearing right now. Stop it. That
was well I noticed did you hearthat? During the budget debate last night?
Into the wee hours of the cloakof night? I should say there
was, Yeah, there was,uh, some some complaints and grumblings from
Democrats about people who are loosening theirties. Uh. During the floor debate,

(01:14:10):
I'm like, hey, have youseen your boy from Pennsylvania up there
who's crying about being bullied and that'swhy he has to be able to wear
the gym shorts on the floor ofthe Senate. No, not on the
floor. He Yeah, I'm sorry. I'm sorry you added that. I
was. Yeah, I was gettingthere, Casey, I was getting there.
He's got a gavel. You everseen Borat? You ever see the

(01:14:33):
movie Borat? Yeah? You knowthat green speedo thing. Uh huh.
That's why you people were wondering,why is you worried about flying in New
York today? I'm presiding at theu N So, yeah, it should
be good stuff. You're gonna wearthat? Yeah, I'm gonna wear that
and posed for photos with the Ukrainianpresident because everyone else already did give me

(01:14:53):
a favor because you're not going tobe wearing a suit. Yeah, that's
rough true, but could you giveme a favor and maybe give your suit
to the Ukrainian president He apparently doesnot own one and does not know where
to purchase one. He's at war. It's you gotta it's it's a it's
junta fashion. So right, thisis another example of being governed by theater

(01:15:15):
kids. Seriously, Yeah, Imean this is with the Fetterman thing,
and with this Terrence Edward thing,it's with the Zelensky thing. That's it's
all performative and it's it's just exhausting, and part of it like makes me
wonder, is the humiliation of theinstitution and the people who respect it.

(01:15:36):
Is that the purpose here, becauseit kind of feels like that's the purpose
here. I really when this allstarted coming out, I'm like, good
because dress codes are for adults andchildren who are striving to be adults,
and most of the people up theredon't check either box. So I now

(01:15:57):
I can more thoroughly view them asthe whole grifters that they are right and
the incessant violent panhandlers that they havebecome. And so it makes it,
it visualizes better for me. Iguess is what. Yeah, yeah,
no, I can see that.And here's the thing. The deal about
you know Fetterman crying about being bullied. People are not bullying him because of

(01:16:18):
his disability. They're bullying him becausehe his campaign, the Democratic Party,
the media. But I repeat myself, they all engaged in a lie during
the campaign, saying that he wasfine, he was one hundred percent normal,
no problem whatsoever. And now yousee the guy walking around with an
audio transcription app running on his phoneall the time because he can't understand what

(01:16:44):
people are saying. And so that'sa problem, and it's a problem,
and it should have been disclosed,but it was not. It was hidden,
and anybody who asked about it wasdragged as if they are as if
they were some sort of you know, anti disability person, and uh,
you know, some sort of bigot. And no, you guys engaged in
a cover up, in a lieabout this guy. That's why. And

(01:17:08):
by the way, the disability thathe has now because of his stroke,
has nothing to do with his abilityto dress himself, right strom Thurman was
able to get into a suit everysingle day while he you know, drooled
on himself at the age of ninetyseven whatever. Like, If he can
do that, there's no reason thatFederman can. I would agree, By

(01:17:29):
the way, I'm going to switchgears here just because I want to keep
it moving. We've got a lotto get to. How you You've You've
been in this business a long time, as have I, and it's not
very often that you get that audiocut that you're thinking about for days and
days and days and goes forever intothe system. You know. It's the

(01:17:49):
it's the you know, the guywho was interviewed after they found those women
in the basement in Cleveland, rightdead giveaway, you know, the stuff
that sticks with you forever, theuh you know Greta right that kind of
yea? Or Royal Majesty who wastestified the San Francisco City Council, how
dar you? Yeah, I've gottwo to choose from. So with that

(01:18:15):
in mind, how great is Howgreat is f thirty five? Dude?
Yeah? Which, But I gottatell you, Ross and I both came
to the same conclusion Wednesday. Weboth saw it in the afternoon and immediately
because let's face it, you've noticedTwitter now as a little looser on what's
there. I don't it's not aproblem, right because we should be good

(01:18:36):
consumers. But people mock stuff allthe time and put it up out there
and it's obviously fake. That thing, I couldn't see a look. I
thought it was fake. Ross saidhe made it through five seconds and determined
it was fake. So I wentthrough the rest of my day like that's
so fake. I'm not even gonnabother. And then Low and Behold.

(01:18:57):
The next morning, right before theshow, I'm getting on my stuff together
and I'm like, that's not fake. That dude is real totally, that's
yeah, yeah, yeah, SoI was. So I was doing the
show when that story was first report. I forget what TV station it came
from, and uh, And soour news department starts running the clip from

(01:19:19):
that news report, so they hadverified it that it actually came from a
news story. They run the clipand I get a call from a former
producer who says, you need toisolate, Like immediately as soon as he
heard the clip, He's like,you need to isolate that clip. Put
it into the library, because thatone is going to last a while.

(01:19:40):
Like immediately the first time he heardit, he knew, do you think
it's better with It's just him?Or the House of Pain remix where they've
so perfectly laid over his scream,over that sound, that part of the
song that you can't it's it's indistinguishable. Have you heard the Loss of Pain
remix? I have not, butI feel like it's kind of like I

(01:20:01):
gotta believe it's like screeching a whistle, hold on, hold on, all
right, all right, that soundsnice and boom, and I heard us
about screeching between a screeching a whistle, and I mean, what more do

(01:20:24):
you need for a show? Butthat's it's It's sort of like when Trent
Resler heard Johnny Cash's version of Hurt, Yeah, and he was like,
that's his song, now, youknow. I think that's kind of that's
where we are. Yeah, yeah, that's and good for House of Pain
because I'm sure that like whoever's notodeed already is probably sitting there getting a

(01:20:47):
check in their mailbox next week.You're like, oh, yeah, look
at this, this is gonna beamazing. Yeah, they may go back
on like a remainder tour. Whoever'sleft, it's gonna go back on tour,
you know, get their like arebirth, like John Travolta's movie career,
that time with pulp Fiction. Now, will they make enough money to
afford a burger at Newark? Though? No, yeah, I'm not sure.

(01:21:08):
Not if you're David Brooks. Whata smug I hate that guy.
I'm sorry, man. I believethe best part of this story is that
he got community noted on Twitter thatOh my gosh. Right, So he
goes to Newark Airport. He complainsabout a seventy eight dollars meal and he
takes a picture of it, andhe says, this is why Americans think

(01:21:30):
the economy is terrible, because thismeal just costs me seventy eight dollars.
So he's accusing them of gauging.Just to be clear, he's accusing these
restaurant which, don't get me wrong, stuff's expensive in airports. But right,
yeah, yeah, yeah, Imean so, yes, obviously the
prices are going to be like markedup, I don't know, thirty forty
percent. Everybody expects that. Sobut he's got a cheeseburger and fries.
Oh wow, and and he anda whole bunch of lettuce on the plate,

(01:21:54):
like way too much lettuce that couldhave come scraped off the burger,
right, So I don't know whatwas going on there, but anyway,
he so he takes a picture ofthis, and people notice, Hey,
David, what's with the like doublemaybe triple whiskey on the rocks in the
picture too? Why is that expensivein an airport? Who would have guessed?

(01:22:15):
Yes. The restaurant then responds,it's called nineteen eleven Smoke House Barbecue,
and they say, looks like someonewas knocking back some serious drinks.
Bartab was almost eighty percent and he'scomplaining about the cost of his meal.
Keep drinking, buddy, we getpaid off everything. Nice, yeah,

(01:22:36):
hold on, hold on, that'strue. Yeah. Wait, Ross just
ate at Newark Airport, and that'swhy you had to sell the house,
right, That's why you guys arehomeless. Spells on gobboul on cobb what
is gobbul? It was delicious,But I don't know, but I think

(01:22:57):
that that is that a hold me, I don't even know what that is.
I'll your word for it, though, So all right for us,
says it's good. Yeah, yeah, it's what yeah, you add the
you add I uh what did whatdid I buy? One time in an
airport and I'm just about a Guinnessand I didn't check, and I think
I want to charge fifteen dollars forthe Guinness. It was one of the
big camps. And I'm just like, this is why you sneak airplane bottles,

(01:23:21):
which you can get through security.By the way, Yeah, what's
the same thing with when you canbuy store. Yeah, yeah, you
go to concerts, the same thing. They gouge you because your your captive
audience. Yeah, yeah, theygot you. Man. You're literally you're
literally you're literally there under security.Right, So right, you got you
got no choice in the matter.All right, So yesterday budget Budget.

(01:23:45):
We've been We've talked about this todeath. I've had I've interviewed this week
now the Lieutenant Governor Mark Walker andthe state Treasurer Deale Folwell all on this
and I can't get one of themto go this is BS. I don't
know, you know, what's what'sgoing on? What's going on? I
guess Mark to some Walker to someextent, but but the other Walker was

(01:24:09):
the other two are in a positionto you know, push back on this,
and if Tim Moore and Phil Burgerrun things, and I secretly believe
they don't want a Republican governor.They just want to have this, this
what they have because they're they're theones who are in charge of North Carolina.
You agree, right, yeah,oh yeah, yeah, yeah,
they don't need that. Time McQuaryshowed us that, right, they don't

(01:24:30):
need a Republican governor. In fact, it's helpful politically if they don't have
a Republican governor because you can dependraise yeah right, you can fundraise off
it. You that you can pickfights with him, you can cast him
as the bad guy you or thegood guy, and everything becomes viewed through
a partisan lens. When it wasMcQuary, it became more about the roles
of the executive branch versus a legislativebranch, and so it was it didn't

(01:24:53):
fit that narrative. And when McQuarywould criticize Burger and company, then you
know, it undermined this notion thatthey were simply trying to get good policy
and all that a lot of thestuff was encroaching on executive branch function and
responsibilities. And so it's yeah,I have no doubt. It doesn't really

(01:25:14):
matter to them whether we're Republican orDemocrat wins if they keep their supermajority,
and they're gonna work to keep theirsupermajority. You you guys, you guys
have how's your fanom pooper going?Is that stuff working out for you?
Because we haven't seen it? Hadsome more downtown issues here, Okay,
all right, yeah, I haven'tseen the as I call her the poo

(01:25:35):
pooh planter. Oh, very nice. I like it. Man. Hey,
one other thing, and I justgot a couple of minutes. Did
you see this other bill they passedfor age verification for online porn sites like
like Louisiana did it, and Ithink porn hubs said they lost eighty percent
or people just used a VPN becausepeople are people, or turned it into

(01:25:56):
or you can literally turn I'm notI'm helping kids access you and turn your
browser into not that make it looklike it's coming from somewhere else. Some
of the browsers, wait, saythat again, wait to turn your send
I'll send you a tutorial. No, I think that that's actually I think
it's a very simple thing to dothat makes it harder for kids. To

(01:26:18):
access this kind of material. Andyeah, I mean it's and it's a
very it's a very easy fix.I think, well, yeah it is.
There's also the part where you know, people who may want to access
that are going to be very cautiousabout giving a pornography site all of their

(01:26:39):
details. True, So, like, you know, does it become I
see both sides this, So doesit becomes social control? And I got
thirty seconds on this or as yousay, hey, this is a good
way to go ahead and deal withit, because now they'll have to go
check it out of their libraries atschool. They want to see point right
exactly, Yeah, yeah, exactly, get the cartoon versions. Well look,
this was always the case with thiskind of material, right, if

(01:27:01):
you would try to buy it ata convenience store back in our day,
right we went into the Yeah,you'd go into a store, you'd have
to present an ID. Why becausewe curate material based upon age, based
upon maturity level. And that's whatthe book band are all about. That's
what all of the debate is aboutabout curating material. Oh, Pete,

(01:27:23):
I got a roll Man biscuit,some porn that's the that's where you go,
all right, thanks sir, andwe'll be right back. Hang on,
make the show. After the showsomething iHeart Radio app. Search case
O Day for the podcast on theiHeart Radio app. I would have I

(01:27:57):
could have respect for him if he'dbeen on it from the get go.
But remember he gotta light to everybodyfor a long time. So if you
don't know who liver King is,have fun down that rabbit hole. You
see that video I posted at himin front of the in front of the
cereal bowl I put there. No, So I posted this about maybe like

(01:28:19):
a month ago, and it's aginormous bowl, and he pours milk into
it, right, whole milk,and then he puts chicken breasts, raw
chicken breasts in it, and thenhe sprinkles coco protein powder. He dips
his hand in it, he mixesit up, and he eats it raw.
Stop. Yeah, he says,that's how old caveman tribal people would

(01:28:42):
eat with cocoa, with engineered cocoapowder. Really, that's what they were
rocking with their cheetah with their cheetahs, all right, I saw it on
flintstones. It must be true.So no, So the dude was like
he was a guy's around you justeat raw liver, eat raw liver,
and look at me. I'm foul. He's at fifty something, right,

(01:29:05):
it's like fifty something. I'm gonnashare hold. But he's not. He's
not a young dude. And buthe but he's got he's got like a
sixteen pack, right, and itjust just ripped. And everyone, everyone
who does any bit of lifting islike bad dudes on steroids. And then
I think, where'd you get?He got busted on Joe Rogan show,

(01:29:26):
right because some other guy would calledhim out straight up and it started this
whole chain of events and then hehad to like make the worst apology video
ever. But he said that hewas doing it because he was so inspirational
to other people or something so thathe got called out for that. So
he just put a video out yesterdayto announce to the world because he's all
about truth. What. Yeah,I know, it's a few days ago,

(01:29:48):
we go whatever. He was sayingthat he did a video and he
said, you know, he wentoff steroids and unfortunately he lost like twenty
pounds of muscle as you do.Like, so he's decided he's gonna go
back on it. He's going backon the on the juice, okay,
all right, because he can't.He was benching like thousand pounds, but

(01:30:09):
he had been benching like five thousandpounds, and you know he can't have
that sort of accurate numbers. No, they're not okay, So anyway,
he's gonna go back on the juice. And he's just being honest. It's
gonna be because he's he doesn't likehow his Instagram is looking now, but
he still looks amazing, like offit like because once you do the steroids,
even if you take a break,right, you're like you're working out,

(01:30:30):
You're you're on, You're on thejuice, and you make these gains
and say you stopped going to thegym, You're like, I'm just tired
as crabam over yeah where the gymdoesn't have power. Right, then you
go back in like another like afew years. You're still gonna have the
benefits of those games. You willgain muscle faster. Don't do steroids,
by the way, you not okay, because it's bad for your heart.
There's a ton of others because hehas lots of money. It's a miracle

(01:30:55):
that dude is still alive. Haveyou seen like videos of him and this
it's like nine I posted one,two or he's for sure if well I
reposted it's a video of him innineteen seventy six before the student. Oh
yeah, he's just a dude,and he's true and he just looks like
he looks like you know, Terry. Yeah, he's just Terry at that
point. He's not whole COVID.But like they all did it back then,
right, they all did, buthe having the rest of them,

(01:31:16):
right, and he made the mostmoney. So is that a coincidence that
he's still in he's in his seventies. He survived it and he just happened
to make the most money of allof them. No, he's going in
and getting his veins like redone orstuff. I mean he's doing he's doing
that. He's doing the stuff thatwomen have available to him now on with
cold all the sculpting. I satat a table not long ago with these

(01:31:38):
women and they were like, whatare you doing now? I'm cold sculpting.
I'm doing UV this I'm doing AndI'm like, is this all stuff
you have? Is this why ittakes you six hours at the clinic place,
the health place, is there anythingthat's I mean, I want a
ticking time bomb that in twenty yearsfrom today at the same moment, any

(01:32:01):
injectable or manipulated whatever short of standarddiet and exercise that somebody's done and then
lie that, oh I never didthat. I just worked hard like these
Hollywood people. Right, yeah,I want it all to like I want
just green die right, like adie pad. I mean in that part
of your body, and we'll knowwho's full of craps like a pool pee

You kind of see it now inphotos. You'll see like celebrities or like
be a picture of famous people andyou'd be like, wo, how come

feminists for some reason, which isalways fun. But you're worried about the
pharmaceutical nature because maybe maybe your yourtrust in pharmaceutical companies with all the stuff

makes that so well. Good newsnew alternative scientists say that a spider found
in Brazil known I guess they callit it the Brazilian wandering spider or the

(01:35:26):
banana spider. But this is avariation of the normal banana spider. So

like it's a timeshare push. Youknow. Well, a lot of times
like they can't tell you exactly what'sgonna happen, right because it then it's
like placebo. So you just likeyou just kind of put it into a
box or something. And that's agood point. So what's the placebo?

It's just yeah, it's just becausethey want to drink it faster.
But the whole thing with wine isthe snobbery factor. Right, So you
could have these bottles, you buildwhole rooms in your house for them that
have better temperature control than your ownbedroom specific refrigerators just for your wine.

(01:42:33):
Yes, and they're all customed.And now you want to do paper.
In an effort to further decarbonize theindustry, several companies have stepped forward to
work on the technology, including Let'ssee what's the big one Frugal pack who

(01:43:00):
holds a patent for a rather uniquepaper alternative to the glass wine. Are
we running out of sand? Ross? Would you? Would you look and
see if there's any sand left atthe beach? If l on one of
the beach cams or something, maybekilled Evil Hills or maybe go to Kiddie
Hawk. That's sand. You know, those dunes are kind of Is there

(01:43:21):
any sand still there? Do wehave any sand? Yeah? Let me
check it. We do have sand. Oh, we do have sand.
Okay, but just a little ina really little bit right right. Let
me check on this. We havetons of it. Hell, if you
went to the beach this summer,there's probably a bunch in your car just
floating around in there, because youknow how that works. I hate sand.
It just gets everywhere. But italso makes glass bottles that you could

(01:43:44):
put wine in, and windows thatyou can see out of Do you like
windows? I know you don't drinkwine, but do you like windows?

Iowa man is charged with drunk drivingafter authorities say he was racing ambulances that
were lights activated emergence making emergency runs. Yes, that's right. Upset over

(01:44:25):
being passed by an ambulance, theman decided he would race the ambulance.
And he didn't just race it.Once he raced it. This is at
two in the morning, and thenthey thought he got away, and then
he went and then the police foundhim trying to race another ambulance. I
mean, feasibly, you should beable to win, right, Yes,
the ambulance is going to be exceedingthe speed, but they're not going to

(01:44:48):
exceed what is still a safe speed, whereas you are making bad decisions,
sir. So if you didn't beatthe ambulance and it doesn't say who won,
which is a big downer, youprobably should be able to pull ahead.
I don't know, I don't knowhow to RaSE ambulances. I just

(01:45:08):
never something I did there. Allright, have a good weekend. Everybody
see him on it.
