Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Roz, is it our four day work week?

Speaker 2 (00:01):
Yet?

Speaker 1 (00:02):
When is that not next week but the week after? Right?
I always counted down? Yeah, yep, that Monday. I mean
not that you would be keeping track of things like that. No, no, no,
I can't do. I don't time for that.

Speaker 3 (00:13):
I'm busy.

Speaker 1 (00:14):
Yeah, I understand. Hey, you know what, so yesterday, yesterday
was well yesterday it was Thursday.

Speaker 2 (00:25):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (00:25):
I just had one of those kind of like this
is a this is an AHA moment because I think
it's such a great way one to stereotype, but two
to kind of make the point. So yesterday on Thursdays
is when my cleaning lady comes. That's right. I have
a cleaning lady. Deal with it, and I I do

(00:47):
this thing. But two, so I know I'm not crazy,
I basically clean my house before she gets here. She
gets the house, not of the late because I'm not
paying her to pick underwear off the floor.

Speaker 2 (01:02):
Right.

Speaker 1 (01:03):
So the I she comes in and she's there to
basically deep clean, you know everything. It's perfect, lover, she's
great at it, the whole thing. But I do this
thing where I got to run around and she wasn't.
She didn't come last week because she was on vacation,

(01:23):
so so it's a it was a little how it
was a little more Bachelor than usual. So what I
do then is I'll put some music on, or because
I happen to have the YouTube ap open on the TV,
I'll throw on some video where I don't have to
see it, just because I'm bopping around all the different
rooms and can listen. And so I just go to

(01:45):
the recommendations and I try to find something I don't
have to see. And one of the recommendations yesterday was
you know those those YouTube channels where they just verbalize
Reddit threads and it's you usually things like pro revenge,
malicious compliance, yeah, entitle people, those kinds of things, little

(02:07):
narratives of the l anecdotes. And so they had one
video and I don't know, and it must be how
YouTube is rewarding creators now because everyone's putting these big,
like compilation videos together, so everything's six hours long. This
one was like two hours. I just turned it on,
so it was in the background and was running around,
moving stuff around, cleaning up stuff, and I'm listening and Ross,

(02:32):
would you say that for the most part, Reddit is
a collection of leftists at least, especially the stories they
get to stay.

Speaker 3 (02:41):
Uh yeah, I would say that's the thing.

Speaker 1 (02:42):
Okay. Every single one of these stories featured one of
two things, and they were in a couple different categories.
They were like malicious, compliance, pro revenge, whatever. But and
when it dawned on me was about halfway through, and
then I'm listening with great interest for the remainder of it.
Every single story had one of two things present in it.

(03:08):
A victimhood narrative bordering on the ridiculous, like I have
almost asthma and my teacher hated me, or it just
just inserts someth near I was an outcast because one
eyebrow was higher than the other. Don't get me wrong.

(03:28):
Kids are kids, especially when they're talking about school narratives.
But like, some of these were so reaching. I started laughing,
right because everyone, Look, everyone's got their problems, but you
get over it and you move on. And clearly they
had not gotten over this.

Speaker 3 (03:47):
I mean, that's how it was back in our day,
Back in our day. But now you've had you had
a generation like you now for decades. Now are these
kids where they you get rewarded for your victim mentality
and mentality.

Speaker 1 (03:57):
This is where I'm going. This is where I'm going
with this. And and then the second narrative, and this
one was you was more typical a wildly that did
I'll take five I'll take that didn't happen for five
hundred alex narrative of how they did something virtuous, and
it's usually it's sometimes it's not even part of the story,

(04:19):
like one of them was, like, you know, I was
twelve when I figured out that my teacher uh misgendered somebody.
So I stood in front of the class and denounced
the teacher for fifteen minutes and then everyone applauded, right,
And so they'd have one of those stories in there,
most of which I don't believe happened. And I realized
that that's where we are. That's I mean, that's the

(04:43):
endgame of the DEI Grinder that we have had kids in.
Like you you know, virtue signaling to something we've talked
about a lot here on the show, but it is
the dopamine hit of real life transition, in this case
over to the internet. You want people to think that
you're virtuous above anything else, and that's where you get

(05:05):
your dopamine hit. You said, clearly, I couldn't see the
comments because these stories were being read, but I bet
it was filled with people just glazing the offer.

Speaker 3 (05:14):
I used to make me laugh too, because like Twitch
used to be that way where like, you know, you
can tag your stream with stuff, you know, so like
you're gonna be playing the game, you can tag it
so people can search stuff by tags. But when you
go see the video underneath the player there you can
see what they've tagged their stream on. And I always
do like silly stuff like yeah, like some of my
tags are never like, you know, serious, but she would

(05:35):
have these. There was one I'm not gonna call them out,
but there was this one streamer specifically that would be
like you know, uh, you know, so the tag underneath
the stream would be hidden disease, and then the next
one would be like type one diabetes, and it was
just like all this stuff, and you would see this
this proliferation of this on Twitch where it's like what
can you tag your stream with to make it look

(05:56):
like that you're a victim overcoming some sort of big thing.
I'm sorry, I know, like type one diabetes can be
a big deal, and I understand.

Speaker 1 (06:04):
That, but we all got our crap.

Speaker 3 (06:06):
But like you playing video games on a stream while
while having diabetes isn't like you're not right climate everest here,
you know what I mean?

Speaker 1 (06:17):
Oh he made it. It's so brad. It's like it's
just but but but those two things combined, I think
are a perfect explanation for where half of the country
is right now. And I almost almost in a way,
it made me feel bad because I think the thing

(06:39):
where you got you know, you're talking about the diabetes.
Excuse me, it's diabetes, by the way, that's right. Yeah, yeah,
But when you're talking about that, or you're talking about
any of these other like weird narratives or they're just
I just want to show you that I'm a victim too.
I think that's a coping mechanism among white heterosexual students
because nobody wants to be the baddie you know what

(07:00):
I'm saying. No, you can't be a quote regular person
with no mental disability, because then you're yeah, and then
you have privilege. Yeah you know what I mean.

Speaker 3 (07:09):
So, yeah, know, they wear they look for things to
make themselves different. It gives them an identity that gives
them a purpose, and they wear it on their chest,
like their like, uh military stripe, you know what I mean?
Like the yeah, Like these are my service medals of everything.
This is how brave I am. I'm playing video games
while I have diabetes, and.

Speaker 1 (07:30):
Then and then when I'm done playing video games, I
went to the city council meeting and and gave them
a one hour oratory on pronouns right right and every
single It got to the point where I just started
laughing once I figured out which one of the two
boxes it ticked or both on the story like a
weird like if you were looking at me through the window,

(07:50):
I look like a crazy person. So I was just
laughing so hard at some of these I should have
wrote some of them now. They were just so obnoxious,
but like but but you know, mys, like that's how
that's how you convince people to quit their jobs and
show up there in Minneapolis if the dopamine hits. It's

(08:10):
almost like social media brought this about man, because we
always talk about getting dopamine head through interaction. Well, if
you're if you tell one of these stories, you get
a bunch of comments, like it's the same reason people
will go on Facebook back in the day and they'd
post feeling really down today, don't know if I'm gonna

(08:31):
make it, and yeah, you're just fishing. You're fishing at
that point because the response feels so good. So when
you post things like that, you're more likely to get
response of people telling you how great, how virtuous you are,
or how much of a victim you are. And I

(08:51):
guess that feels pretty good. I'm sure it does. Everybody
wants somebody to commiserate with them, but like, that's your identity,
that's your brand, and you know at that point to
get that dopamine hit, going and blocking your car for
three minutes, which we now know to be the time
that she was blocking the agents in in Minneapolis based

(09:14):
on another video, we also see her wife get out
of the vehicle to position herself to go ahead and
film several minutes before all that went down. So I'm
sure that was an interesting conversation. That's how you get
people to do that. That's how you get people, even
if it's just the lazy stuff where they'll just vote
for it because that's what their identity is, that's what

(09:38):
makes them feel good. Got to be the victim, got
to be the savior too. Simultaneously, I'm a victim, and
yet I was still able to be the savior. I'm
so damn virtuous, all right, six sixteen, Hang on a
chat with mister Pete Callander. They're having a heck of
a time down there in Charlotte. Their sheriff looks like

(09:59):
a stone col the mob boss man. This crazy stuff.
He'll go over all of it with us, so I
don't want to spoil it. But what is it? Gerry
McFadden is the sheriff down there? Guy is uh like,
what's you know? The tony soprano soprano meme where he's
like out gardening and there's like, oh, it's a nice

(10:20):
life you have. There'd be a shame if something happened
to it. Nobody really says that, right, Apparently Gary McFadden
might say that, So well, yeah, we'll get into uh,
we'll get into that coming up. Well, it's of audio too,
but boy, JD. Vans just went off yesterday, showed up
in the White House press briefing and was having none

(10:42):
of this. I don't know what we're gonna do because
I'm listening to all the audio yesterday and I mean
this seriously, like this, I don't know how bad this
is gonna get. But you know, the Reddit thing was
kind of a soft entry into the show. I think
that that instructs a lot of people because I again
I'm I'm using a sample that is read it and
the Internet's not real life, but a lot of it is.

(11:06):
But I think it was very instructive and understanding how
far people are willing to go to get that dopamine hit.

Speaker 3 (11:13):
Well, I think I think it's part of the problem
there because, like what you just said, like the Internet
isn't real life, but you have these a segment of
the population that's chronically online where they believe it is
real life.

Speaker 1 (11:22):
Yes, yeah, yeah, yeah. And if that's where if look,
if that's the only place you're going to be made
to feel good, I get why you keep going back.
You know, people we talk about how people spend less
time around people. That's true. I find myself I'm a
lot less I don't know, out there around people than

(11:45):
I was when I was younger. I don't know if
that's just a thing of getting old. But now you
have people that are much younger that really don't interact
as much as we used. We had no choice but
to interact because if not. You know, when Ross and
I were kids, if you didn't want to, if you
didn't want to interact with anybody on the outside, or
you don't want to leave your house, you only had
your family. No offense to your family, but that wasn't

(12:09):
going to do it. Maybe a phone call randomly to
your buddy, but for the most part, you had to
get out there. Didn't have the entertainment options you just
and plus you had parents who would literally lock you
out of the house, don't come home till the street
lights go? Did it? Ross? Did you notice for whatever
reason something because you and I tend to see the
same stuff On Twitter, there was a video of like

(12:33):
it was a montage of the old it's ten o'clock
do you know where your kids are? Ads? That was
floating around Twitter. I think the last week we're on vacation.
I don't know why. It got served to me a
few times, and it mostly was just younger people going.
They really ran ads of celebrities saying it's ten o'clock,
do you know where your kids are? And I'm like, yeah,

(12:53):
they can't believe that that's actually how it was. That's
how it was, you know, I sat and play for
all day. And you know that's one thing too, like
I was, and I kind of agreed with it where
people were like, you know, one reason that some people
don't want to be parents now or have kids is
there's this thing where you always have to be around,
like the helicopter parenting, like you're always watching, like there's
no break from your kids who are back in the day.
Like you said, your parents would be like, all right,

(13:14):
have a good day, see you later. My mom would
break us out of the house and it would be
below zero, and I'm sure that was good as well
for her mental health because she break from you. Yeah,
she's like, I'm gonna get a nap. You guys, just
don't light each other on fire. And then me and
my brother would be out there in our snowsuits and
I'd put a settling on the outside of a snowsuit

(13:35):
and light them on fire so who could run and
dive into the snow drift? Well it was cold, man,
you're keeping them warm, dude. You know I'm not playing.
We would have the full snowsuits. We would put some
sort of flat hairspray. Was was the one, by the way, kids,
if you're listening, don't do this, and we'd have giant
snow drifts. So we'd be standing like twenty feet from it.

(13:56):
You spray the AquaNet all over your little brother. You
light them so he's on fire, and then he dives
into the snow drift. And and we weren't. We didn't.
We couldn't even film it back in the day. Now,
that'd be a TikTok. I'd probably just got somebody immolated.
But yeah, and meanwhile the door's locked and we're not
allowed to come back in. And God help you if

(14:19):
you knocked on that door. That's just how it was.

Speaker 3 (14:22):
I just had it so like when I was growing
up in its Connectedy. It was on the corner of
like sixth Avenue in Congress right still remember this building.
It was this old abandoned I think it was like
a glass factory or something, and it was like, you know,
just falling apart. We literally would play in that, Yes,
we would play in the old abandoned factory. We shortcut
through to get home. It was a shortcut. You could

(14:44):
shortcut like to you know, you could either walk all
the way around the block or walk through this property.
We just walked through the old abandoned.

Speaker 1 (14:51):
The factory, the Technisville. Yeah yeah, man, And you could
even tell your parent, like, what were you doing all
the old factory? We got all this stuff. Yeah, all right,
well we're looking for down dinners ready, we're looking for ghosts. Yeah, man, ah,
so much fun. So we didn't have we didn't have
as many abandoned buildings, but we had like we had

(15:14):
like haunted caves and stuff, and then we had ice caves.
We had all sorts of and then we had like
we had like old battle planes battle where you know,
either custers people got cut down or Native Americans got
cut down, and we'd go there to look for ghosts
and all sorts of stuff. It's pretty good. Never found any,

(15:37):
but you know it was. It was our version of it.
We were quite pleased with it. So I saw, there's
a crazy story I was reading this morning. I want
to make sure that I have the latest version here.
What is that? People send me the weirdest emails? All right,

(15:59):
let me go to this. So up in Pennsylvania, here
we go. Up in Pennsylvania, police have arrested a man,
thirty four year old Jonathan Gerlock, after a month's long
investigation over let's just say some Shenanigans or the local cemetery. Basically,
somebody had been breaking into all the mausoleums at the

(16:20):
cemetery and stealing bones, just stealing remains, and I mean
a lot of remains, over one hundred individual skeletons with However,
you know a certain portion of bones. He didn't always
take all the bones, but police say he stole all
the bones. So what was he doing. He was decorating

(16:43):
his house with them.

Speaker 3 (16:44):
This is just like ed green stuff.

Speaker 1 (16:47):
Well he didn't kill them, no, neither did ed.

Speaker 3 (16:49):
Gean a lot of them. He just like took out.
He did the same exact thing as cemeteries. I thought
he killed people.

Speaker 1 (16:55):
Oh no he did, but like the actual victims like
that you you think it? Yeah, yea, yeah, yeah, yeah
he murdered like I don't like a few people, which
isn't good upon that, but like, no, it's not. He
didn't kill all the Most of the stuff in his
house was all acquired from cemeteries. Yes, yes, like the
lamp shades and the the bone wind chimes he had.

(17:17):
They're mesmerizing. You ever sat on the patio on a
nice fole you know, full day?

Speaker 3 (17:23):
Yeah, you're in the porch, just whindling something in the
bone chimes, chair clink, clink, click, click, very peaceful. You
know that ed Gain documentary your show came out, Maybe
that's where they got the idea from.

Speaker 1 (17:37):
I don't know. Well it's months long investigation. How long
has the documentary been out?

Speaker 3 (17:42):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (17:42):
But all right, so, h you're like, how can this
gid creep your Are you ready for this? So he
had a wall that was just bones, but he had
art on the wall. So in addition, so in the
middle of like just random adult leg bones, he had
completely reassemble two kids skeletons on the bone wall. I'm

(18:06):
telling you this is ed Gean stuff. Did the same
thing like macaroni art with the bones. Yeah. Uh. Police
been looking into the string of burglaries. When an investigator
checked the plates so so apparently they just they happened
to see a car more than a few times. So
that's what led him. M Yeah, all told, he's facing

(18:26):
five hundred charges. He had among the among the the
macaroni art, we'll go with that since that's pretty good.
Throughout his house, he also had thirty of the human
remains that were like intact to make the person or
in the case of the two kids on the wall,

(18:47):
So you know, what do you like, are you inviting
people over to shut like, why would you do that?
This gout probably gonna slap on the wrist even though
he's got five hundred charges and then murder somebody. Um,
let's see here. I'm just scanning this article to see

(19:07):
if at any point he offered an explanation. Oh okay,
well hold on, there is more here. Police believe the
remains were also taken from other cemeteries throughout the region,
and they say that Garlock ran a Facebook group titled
human Bones and Skull Selling Group. Well, that'll get you

(19:29):
in trouble.

Speaker 3 (19:31):
Yeah, I looked it up just because I was curious
on rock and gain killed two people, killed two po.

Speaker 1 (19:35):
Yeah, I knew he killed somebody. But yes, you are
correct in the sense that he also just pillaged cemeteries
as part of it. Yeah, they're not They're not saying
they think this guy killed anyone. Oh dude, he did
have a human bone windshie, did he? Yeah? You gotta

(19:56):
lock that guy into like just a small room and
stare at him forever. He has a double septum piercing.
So I didn't realize it worked both ways. Yeah, that
that neck tattoo.

Speaker 2 (20:09):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (20:09):
If you're like, hey, do you think this guy would
have a house full of bones, I'd be like, maybe.
I don't want to stereotype here, but there's a possibility,
So yeah, I don't steal all the bones from the
cemetery and decorate your house with it. You guys just
put a new room in. How many human bones did
you need to put it in? You know? I none believe?

(20:32):
Oh wow, yeah, you feel like you missed the boat
you No, No, I'm fine, fine with that. I want
a bone wall. Who do Who doesn't want a bone wall?
What are we doing here? All right? Six forty? So
maybe you want a bone wall? Phone number eight eight
eight nine three four seven eight seven four. So, as
the White House Press briefing was getting under way yesterday,

(20:53):
mister Vice President rules out and he is having none
of the Shenana Biggins. By the way, wait till you
hear this one question this reporter asked, dude, these guys
are such scum, just scum. It'll be part of my
whole scumbag reporter segment which is coming up. So here
we go, let's get into it.

Speaker 4 (21:13):
I'll take some questions, but I want to make just
one final observation here. When I was actually walking out here,
somebody send me a photo of a CNN headline about
what happened in Minneapolis, and.

Speaker 3 (21:25):
This is the headline. I'm just going to read it.

Speaker 4 (21:27):
Outrage after ice officer kills US citizen in Minneapolis. Well,
that's one way to put it, and that is the
way that many people in the corporate media have put
this attack over the last twenty four hours. And I
say attacked very, very intentionally, because this was an attack
on federal law enforcement, This was an attack on law
and order, This was an attack on the American people.

(21:49):
The way that the media by and large has reported
this story has been an absolute disgrace, and it puts
our law enforcement officers at risk every single day. That
headline leaves out is the fact that that very off
ice officer nearly had his life ended dragged by a
car six months ago, thirty three stitches in his legs,

(22:10):
So you think maybe he's a little bit sensitive about
somebody ramming him with an automobile. What that headline leaves
out is that that woman was there to interfere with
a legitimate law enforcement operation in the United States of America.
What that headline leaves out is that woman has as
part of a broader left wing network to attack, to docks,
to assault, and to make it impossible for our ice

(22:32):
officers to do their job. If the media wants to
tell the truth, they ought to tell the truth that
a group of left wing radicals have been working tiresly,
sometimes using domestic terror techniques, to try to make it
impossible for the President of the United States to do
what the American people elected him to do, which is
enforce our immigration laws. The President stands with Ice, I

(22:54):
stand with Ice, We stand with all of.

Speaker 1 (22:56):
Our law enforcement officers.

Speaker 4 (22:57):
And part of that is recognizing that you people in
the media, not everybody in this room, but many people
in this room have been lying about this attack. She
was trying to ram this guy with this with her car.
He shot back, he defended himself. He's already been seriously
wounded in law enforcement operations before. And everybody who's been

(23:18):
repeating the lie that this is some innocent woman who
was out for a drive in Minneapolis when a law
enforcement officer shot at her, you should be ashamed of yourself.

Speaker 1 (23:26):
All right, So if you're the media, you're sitting there now,
clearly some of them are going to take that personally.
But what you probably shouldn't do is ask a question
that is so stupid and biased right after he gets done,
so as to prove his point. Oh and I found
it very rich too, because I saw people saying, well,
if he had a prior running where he got drugged

(23:48):
by soy, which, by the way, I watched the video,
it's really this guy's lucky he didn't get injured more
this ice officer. But if people were going, well, if
he already had, like if he's already had somebody drag
him with a car, try to run him over with
the car, then they shouldn't have put him back in
the field. What the hell are you talking about. You're

(24:09):
implying that he pulled the trigger because of the other
thing that happened to him. Maybe, but let me just
track that logic. If you have a soldier who gets
shot at, you shouldn't put him back out on the battlefield,
that's what you're saying. That's dumb. So whatever, I know
you're digging for stuff, but let's let's let's get to
how the media chose to follow this up. Shall we

(24:32):
go ahead to West President.

Speaker 2 (24:32):
Thank you.

Speaker 5 (24:33):
We said earlier that there's a left wing network to
attack two docs two assault and make it impossible for
ICE officers to do their job.

Speaker 6 (24:43):
And you told my colleague just now that there's an
investigation going on into that network. Yeah, so everything you
can say is true.

Speaker 7 (24:54):
How is being part of that network justify being shot?

Speaker 1 (24:58):
But I mean, did you hear this question? I'm going
to play it again because it's so bad. So you're
saying that there's a network of agitators, it's being funned.
By the way, this isn't in dispute, right, we can
we can follow the money and and the groups. So
if there's a group out there who's organized to uh,

(25:19):
you know, protest and push back and even go further,
why does it are you saying that if somebody is
a member of the group, they should be murdered. I mean,
way to prove his point there with your with the
extreme bias, that clearly is not what he said. Ahead, Mists,
thank you.

Speaker 5 (25:39):
You said earlier that there's a left wing network to
attack two dots two assault and make it impossible for
ICE officers to do their job.

Speaker 7 (25:49):
You told my colleague just now.

Speaker 6 (25:51):
That there's an investigation going on into that network.

Speaker 7 (25:55):
Yeah, so if everything that you say is true, just
being part of that network justify being shot?

Speaker 4 (26:04):
What an ale, Well, being part of a network doesn't
justify being shot. But ramming an ice officer with your car,
that's what justifies being shot. It's not a good thing,
by the way, but when you force somebody to engage
in self defense, it's almost a preposterous question. I'm not
saying that funding some of this stuff justifies capital punishment.
Nobody would suggest that the reason this woman is dead

(26:27):
is because she tried to ram somebody with her car
and that guy acted in self defense. That is why
she lost her life, and that is the tragedy. Now,
there may be other violations of the law and other
penalties that are associated with those violations of the law.
For example, if you are funding violence against our law
enforcement officers. I'm not a prosecutor. My guess is that's

(26:50):
not the sort of thing that earns capital punishment. But
it's just sure as hell'll earn you a few years
in prison. If you're funding the effort to try to
assault our law enforcement officers. What is I'm sorry, guys,
what's going on here? You guys are meant to report
the truth. How have you let yourself become agents of
propaganda of a radical fringe that's making.

Speaker 1 (27:11):
It harder for us to enforce our laws.

Speaker 4 (27:13):
You just asked me a question that presumed that the
reason why this woman died is because she was engaged
in legitimate protests. She tried to run somebody over with
her car and the guy defended himself when that happened.

Speaker 1 (27:24):
Next question, Yeah, all right, And I mean it's just
so preposterous. But then, just to show you how widespread
this garbage is, I was scanning over this article. It's
associated Press, but it was posted on wral's website headline
Federal immigration officer shooting wound two people in Portland, Oregon.

(27:47):
So this is separate incident that happened yesterday. We'll get
into the details, which of course, is being spun. They're
going to go Summer of the Shark on this. Just
so you guys get my prediction. Now, they're going Summer
of the Shark on this. Ignore They'll ignore the fact
that yesterday somebody tried to run a police officer over
with a bulldozer in Nevada, because that guy, if the

(28:08):
guy wasn't an ICE person, it wasn't an ice officer.
But that's the thing that happened. Yesay, we're gonna ignore that.
But in the article, just to show you how quickly
they have memory, hold, what's in that video, which again
there's a lot of videos on the Minneapolis thing. It
is clear that that officer is in front of that vehicles,

(28:33):
she's attempting to propel it forward and even hits the officer. Thankfully,
it was a glancing blow. It's clear unless I unless
you don't have eyeballs, it's clear.

Speaker 3 (28:47):
I saw on Angele this morning from the opposite end
of the street, like a different act that I hadn't
seen before. Yeah, not only does she she she listened,
She had a clear path away, she could have driven
away from that. She she backs up and steers towards
them on purpose. It's very clear she steers into them.

Speaker 1 (29:06):
According to the AP article, it's not clear. Uss. This
is literally how they chose to write this. And it
does two things. One it misinforms, but two it it
gives the impression. This is one of the ways that
you can just ingrain inaccurate information kind of into the
news cycle. You have to treat it passively. So I'm

(29:29):
going to read, know, this is he had his hands up,
this is hands up, don't shoot you. You have to
you have to present it as settled science. This the
your narrative and then just move on from there. So
this is how they chose to write it. There was
no immediate independent corroboration of that account. Basically that the
poor in Portland, that they were dealing with a trend,

(29:50):
a ragula member, which is that's what they're referring to here,
all right. There is no immediate independent corroboration of that
account or of any gang affiliation of the vehicle occupants.
The media at large has decided that any statement made
by the government is it starts as a lie and
tell proven accurate. Just that's one side of this. During

(30:14):
prior shootings involving agents from Trump's immigration crackdown, including the
fatal one Wednesday in Minneapolis, video evidence has cast doubt
on the administration's characterizations of what prompted the shooting. Has it?
Are we already to the point where video evidence has
cast out on the assertion. So if you're reading that,

(30:37):
you're really not plugged in. You're just like, oh, okay,
so are we already? The video doesn't look good? Okay,
all right, then you just keep reading. Ap and Wil
ran an article saying that the video evidence cast out
on the characterization that this guy was being was in danger,

(30:57):
even though I don't know that there could be much
more conclusive evidence that he was he was in danger,
but that's how they wrote it. So jd Vance calling
him scum wholeheartedly earned.

Speaker 8 (31:11):
Kay see, I was glad to hear you guys talking
about this monsense this morning. She got exactly what she
was asking for. Lazy, you go up to a bunch
of officers and start driving unto them, That's what happens.

Speaker 1 (31:24):
Okay.

Speaker 8 (31:24):
My whole thing is.

Speaker 9 (31:27):
The protesters make me angry enough, Like if you didn't
say anything about Ashley Babbitt and you're out there protesting
this left hard wing bet m bet, then you need
to sit down and be quiet because you obviously don't
care about the people you care about the politics.

Speaker 1 (31:51):
Yeah, we mentioned this yesterday because I saw somebody trying
to make that comparison, and I'm just like, really, was
she driving? Was she put was she trying to squeeze
herself through the small broken window or her car, and
at that point the whole right, yeah, folds folds hard.
So all right, Janet, appreciate the call, Thank you very much. Ross.
What is wrong with your team, the Buffalo Bill's fan base.

Speaker 3 (32:16):
I mean, I mean, in what capacity?

Speaker 1 (32:18):
So you guys get in the new stadium and they're,
you know, taking down the old high Mark Stadium and
they built one right next to it. I saw yesterday
that they're auctioning the urinals. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (32:28):
I put in my bid.

Speaker 1 (32:31):
You you want urinals that have twenty years of other
dudes going And by the way, it's urinals, but also
trough urinals. Yeah, correct, big trough So a lot of
memories there. So NASA has announced they yesterday they had
to postpone some spacewalks. I don't know if you guys
were super excited about that. I happen to see it

(32:52):
as in a side and I clicked on it. The
reason they postponed it, And now they're figuring they may
have to transport an astronaut is one of the astronauts
has some like mystery virus up there in space at
the space station, and you want to bring him back here.

(33:14):
What that like, that's a pretty controlled environment. Ross. If
somebody gets a mystery virus in space, that's usually a bad.

Speaker 3 (33:20):
That That's what I'm going to say. Like, you're in space,
Where did it come from?

Speaker 10 (33:23):
Like?

Speaker 3 (33:23):
What happened like this?

Speaker 1 (33:25):
Anybody else is sick? What's going on? I mean, you
got a mystery virus? I saw the movie Life. This
doesn't end well? Do thet ross you see Life came out?
I don't know, seven eight years ago.

Speaker 3 (33:40):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (33:41):
It's not Look, there's there's two rules. If you get
a mystery virus in space or under a thousand feet
of ice, you're ft, I think is the general rule.
Any any virus in space or in a time capsule
of ice probably isn't going to work out for you.
So but anyway, due to medical privacy, NASA said it

(34:04):
was not appropriate to share more details. However, they are
trying to figure out if they're gonna have to either
reschedule or how to reschedule the spacewalk because there is
some necessary necessary maintenance, I guess, but also if they're
gonna have to get the crew member back to Earth
so we can all get the alien space virus and
then we end up like, oh, we end up like

(34:25):
that show on Apple.

Speaker 2 (34:29):
Ross.

Speaker 1 (34:29):
You don't have Apple TV Plus, do you have? Nope? Okay,
so you wouldn't see the show. There's a show that
everyone thinks it's the greatest show to like ever exist
on Apple TV Plus, and I think it's just okay.
But the premise of it is there's some as I
understand it, the premise is there's some space virus and

(34:51):
everyone is now interconnected except and it's all this weird
like robotic, utopian scary stuff. Except there's like a dozen
and people around the world that it didn't take, and
so they're navigating what's going on in the main star
is some romance novelist. What is it called. I know

(35:12):
you'd say that it sounds very bored, like it is
very it is extremely that that'd be a great way
to describe it's very bored.

Speaker 3 (35:20):
Like uh, plurbis plural. That's from the the creator of
Breaking Bad.

Speaker 1 (35:29):
Correct, yes, yeah, yeah, same same du plurb And as
the woman that was the female lawyer in A Better Call,
Saul h Rhea Seahorn is the main chick there. Look,
it's not bad. I've watched. I watched the whole season.
They just just like two weeks ago they have the
season finale. So I watched the whole thing when I
was on break and because I like the sci fi

(35:51):
and it's okay, it's not it's not a rapid pace,
but yeah, it's pretty well done. But everyone's like, oh,
this is the greatest thing ever.

Speaker 2 (35:59):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (35:59):
Vin Gilligan is how do you say his name? Is
it Gilligan? Thought it was Gilliam Gilliam? Okay, I'm just
so the other way. I don't know, but yeah, yeah, yeah,
it's that same dude. So everyone's predicting that even though
it's been slow, that's how he kind of rolls and
then it'll get crazy. But it didn't really get crazy
in the first season.

Speaker 3 (36:18):
So I mean, better call Saul. Took like two or
three seasons. It took a while, but then that thing
took off, and it took off? Did it?

Speaker 1 (36:26):
I didn't sod you watch the entirety of that series too.

Speaker 3 (36:28):
Yeah, I ended up watching the whole thing.

Speaker 1 (36:30):
Yeah, or is it a good I would consider going
back to it is so good, but you know, obviously
go to what I don't know. Maybe you don't have
to watch Breaking Bad too, but I mean, obviously it
helps if you've watched Breaking Bad. Oh no, that'd be
too much time. So anyway, so all that to say,
we're about to turn into pluribus because mystery alien space virus.
So I guess hug your hug your family. All right,

(36:53):
let me get to uh, let me get to this,
let me well, hold on, let me just put these
two together. I got to see if you're buying this. So,
according to the Economist, there is a new top if
you were to pick the top three sports in America,

(37:14):
there is now a new third top sport. It has
bumped one of the traditional sports as far as popularity.
So basically this is done through revenue drive polling where
they ask people what sports are you a fan of,
and then how much time they spend either watching it
live or on TV. And number one clearly Football in America.

(37:40):
All right, that's and it's not even close. Okay, I
accept that. Number two and this was a little surprising
to me just because the ratings have been waning basketball,
but apparently it's been that way for a while and
until just I guess hear this Q when they do this,
Q four up until end of last year, baseball was

(38:03):
the third most popular sport in America. It now no
longer is and no, they didn't go to hockey. For
all of you Canes fans listening, now the number three
most watched and participated in sport in America. And I
think the participation thing is important. Here is now soccer?

(38:24):
What are we doing? Ross? Every day? I have a
story where it's just like, what is this kind out?

Speaker 3 (38:29):
I'm gonna be sick.

Speaker 1 (38:30):
Yeah, what are we doing?

Speaker 11 (38:33):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (38:33):
American football remains the most popular sport in the US,
with forty percent of the population naming it as their favorite.
Basketball second and now it is soccer baseball. And by
the way, here's the breakdown. This is the million, the
number of millions of Americans they say.

Speaker 2 (38:53):
Watch.

Speaker 1 (38:55):
Is there a minimum you had to watch? It doesn't
say this is just the watch side American football. One
third of Americans consider it their top top sport Basketball,
seventeen percent, football, soccer in this case, ten percent, baseball
nine hockey four and then tennis, boxing goal for all

(39:15):
you know, two or three percent. So yeah, there we go.
I wonder if that'll hold up when Trump gets done
with his immigration stuff, though, but this is I'm a
little unclear on it because when you talk about participation,
we have a ton of kids participated soccer. That's not

(39:37):
that's not a new thing. Soccer. You know, doing soccer
when you're a kid is is very very popular. Did
you play soccer? Do you play any sports as a kid?
I played baseball, played baseball, okay, But there was a
you guys had soccer leagues up in Schenectady.

Speaker 3 (39:53):
Right, Yeah, No, I know we did for a fact,
because there was a kid, Steve Cornick went through a
nentary middle school in high schol with him and he
played soccer. And I remember it was weird for us
at the time though, but Steve came from more of
like a well to do family, Okay, you know what
I mean, So like they had a bit more money.
So I mean, and we're like, he played soccer, that's weird.

(40:14):
Was like in nineteen eighty five, you know what I mean,
A lot.

Speaker 1 (40:16):
Was a money thing. My little brother played soccer. It
was just a pain to play when you were a
little I don't know, man, I think.

Speaker 3 (40:21):
It's definitely like a cultural thing because like inner city,
like we played a lot of basketball, like a lot
of basketball. Louis had like a basketball court in every corner.

Speaker 1 (40:29):
Did you hustle, reo hustler.

Speaker 3 (40:31):
I played a lot of basketball. We put do like hours,
oh or like all day, all day basketball. Yeah, we had,
they had, they had soccer leagues. I remember as a
kid a drive by him over at the elementary schools
where the big soccer fiales were. It's sort of like
we would back then, we would classify. We put like
soccer in the same category as like a lacrosse, like

(40:53):
a more like you know, like rich white person sport
at the top.

Speaker 1 (40:56):
All the ones who went to that other school. Yeah,
what was it, n ikabah crane thinker about crane kids.
Was that a wealthy school or just a fortunate that's
a country school on top of a mountain.

Speaker 3 (41:06):
That's different.

Speaker 1 (41:07):
Oh okay, all right, all right, I was confused. Uh So, anyway,
we gotta do some about that. Watch more baseball or something.
I don't know. I don't know how you fix that,
but uh it is what it is. Uh So, while jd.
Vance is doing his thing screaming at reporters there at
the White House Press briefing, Tim Walls, who I'm convinced

(41:29):
this is his only option. He has to every day
hold an insane, lie filled inflammatory press conference and then
pretend he's not. And he has to because the moment
his mouth stops moving on this thing, this absolute gift
in his mind, I'm sure then people are gonna ask

(41:52):
him questions about the fraud. So if you're Tim Walls,
you're fighting for your life, man. So this guy, this
guy is every day going to provide me audio. I'm
convinced of it, absolutely convinced, And then saying just the
most insane crap, like referencing the Civil War.

Speaker 12 (42:12):
History when things looked really bleak, it was Minnesota first
that held that line for the nation on that July third,
eighteen sixty three, And I think now we may be
in that moment that Arltian's looking to us to hold
the line on democracy.

Speaker 1 (42:30):
So so you guys basically violating federal law is what
you're what you're wanting to do, is you holding the line?
But in this case you're the Union, and so I
guess Trump would be the Confederates. Is I mean, what
stupid reference you are you even making? And literally none
of it's analogous too for any of the reasoning behind

(42:51):
the Civil War. It just so happened there have to
be there, happened to be a contingent of Minnesota soldiers
that he was able to reference there. But like get
into that, like you somehow are you know Grant's army
doing the righteous thing is just absurd, man, just absurd.
I have like Minnesota fatigue. I told you, we're so

(43:13):
happy I'm not working this so I'm so tired of
hearing about this state. I really am. It's just lunatic
after lunatic in the Twin Cities. It's just and it's
and it just like I don't I noticed it, but
I never noticed statistics. It had to have just had
like a ca they I knew people were coming in
who were from all the surrounding rural areas. People felt

(43:36):
they didn't fit in or were very progressive. It all
moved to Minneapolis. But it like it's something accelerated.

Speaker 3 (43:42):
Yeah, it had the same like trajectory as like Seattle
or Portland, right where once upon a time it was
kind of normal, right, but now it's crazy town.

Speaker 1 (43:51):
It's I don't even recognize it like I would be
I would honestly, they're so crazy there, Like to do
a radio show and be constantly calling him out and
doing all of that. I think these lunatics are be
out in front of my house. I honestly believe that
the amount of agitators that have been you know, pushed

(44:12):
into Minneapolis, including this woman, is what it looks like.
She you know, she moved there, fell in with these groups,
received training, and was literally staging photo ops that day.
Is what it looks like. Is is mind boggling. And
then you have a governor like Tim Polini was the
governor when I lived there. They had a Republican governor

(44:35):
and he was pretty well liked. And yeah, you had,
you know, your normal battles there, but you didn't have
some lunatic who basically just referenced the Civil War who
then says this our history.

Speaker 12 (44:49):
When things looked really bleak, it was Minnesota school.

Speaker 1 (44:51):
Hold on, hold on, I hit the wrong button.

Speaker 2 (44:53):
Here we go.

Speaker 12 (44:53):
They have determined the character of a thirty seven year
old mom that they didn't even know, don't know.

Speaker 1 (45:00):
They determine based on her actions. They're not determining her character.
They're putting a narrative together to understand what brought everyone
together for this horrible incident to take place.

Speaker 12 (45:11):
They've determined that the actions are done. I don't know.
I've not used inflammatory terms of what happened. I've asked,
good lord.

Speaker 1 (45:20):
I mean, just to be able to lie so effortlessly,
and you see, you see it. Look Republican politicians lie,
but they tend to not answer your question. You hear
it when I interview him, and then like because people
send the email he didn't answer your question like that,

(45:40):
Democrats will straight lie to you. They will say something
that is provable on the spot with a quick Google
search to a group of people with a smile on
their face. Because they won, they can get away with it.
But two, it's all they got. Having no power shows

(46:04):
you the tantrum they're willing to throw. And it's a
big one. It's a violent one. It's a pretty awful one.
But it is a constant one because you have created
a group of people who this is their only identity,
Republicans or Conservatives. It can be their whole identity. There's

(46:25):
definitely those people, but for the most part, it's an
aside thing. And then they just live their life. They
don't wear their politics on their sleeve. They just do
their thing. Every now and then, they may remind people
of it, but for the most part they don't. They
only get into that particular side of themselves for the again,

(46:47):
not everybody, but the majority if asked about it, or
if there is a discussion that comes up where their
opinion is asked. For the most part, it's not so
when you attack their politics, since it's not their entire identity.
For the most part, they'll just choose not to interact
with you, or they may correct you or whatever. But

(47:10):
you have this whole other group where if you question
any of their thinking on something, you're attacking them because
it is their whole identity. It's the best, literally, it's
the best way to describe it. And that's how we
get here. And then Tim Walls will just get up
there and straight lie, and then those who agree with
them will just nod complacently, including the media.

Speaker 12 (47:30):
Just to find the answers. The only way we find
the answers is a thorough investigation. I don't have a
predetermined notion. Yes I saw the video, Yes I saw that,
But a thorough investigation, we'll see what happened before that.
It will take all factors in and it will come
up with a fair and just conclusion, and we will
accept that. Very very difficult for Minne Sultan's to think

(47:54):
in any way this is going to be fair when
Christy Nooman was judged jury and basically executionery yesterday.

Speaker 1 (48:00):
By the way, this piece of garbage also said that
that he wants to be part of the he wants
to be one of the investigators. Not a stinking chance
is that going to be allowed to happen. In fact, frankly,
you shouldn't be You shouldn't be giving Tim Walls any
more information. Dude. This is not acting in his capacity
as governor.

Speaker 3 (48:20):
This guy could have been vice president.

Speaker 1 (48:22):
That is the Yeah, that is he could have been president.
Think about it, I mean her vice president. You have
to you have to assume you could be president. Who
knows you know, she her liver gives out Boom's president terrifying,
and then you also realize how not smart this guy is.
But that's a whole other thing. All right, Look at

(48:44):
that creeping up on seven twenty three phone number eight
eight eight nine three four seven eight seven four back
in just a few let me go ahead and grab
we got a bunch of callers, So let's get some
phone calls reminder that our buddy Pete Callander he'll be
joining us, coming up in thirty minutes and lots to
talk to uh, talk to him about looking forward to it.

(49:06):
All right, here we go, George, you're up first, Go
right ahead.

Speaker 2 (49:10):
Any casey, Hey, so you got astronauts up there in
the most controlled environment that exists. Then three Eye Atlas
comes into the Solar System, and then all of a
sudden space virus. I think out of an abundance of caution,
you got to eject that guy out into the.

Speaker 1 (49:28):
Void three I Atlas. What is that the space trd?
Or is that I can't I can't keep these what
is that?

Speaker 2 (49:36):
It's a it's a it's a very unusual comment that
entered our Solar.

Speaker 1 (49:40):
System, the one they found or something. Okay, yeah, all right, confirmed, Yeah,
it's a good point, sir. That's so that's one hundred
percent space virus.

Speaker 2 (49:51):
All right, Well, yeah, you got tot to eject them.
You got to eject them right out into you know,
they know what they signed up for, you know, can't
bring them back.

Speaker 1 (50:00):
That's what Ross always wants to do to people in space. Yeah,
so he's probably a Ross. That's not your favorite thing.
Put him in the Uh. I mean that's a great
point from George. Yeah, right out of the vacuum of space. Yeah,
put him in that little go between, have that dramatic
moment where they're like, oh crap, this is gonna suck.
But if you hold your breath, you're fine. I think

(50:20):
I don't know, Sheila, what's up?

Speaker 13 (50:24):
Hey, good morning morning.

Speaker 10 (50:26):
I was wondering U. Two things that I'm concerned about
is that with this Minnesota shooting, that they're going to
do what they did, what they accused us of doing,
of distracting from Epstein files, Like they're going to keep
talking about this shooting so that we're not talking about
the fraud anymore.

Speaker 1 (50:45):
Yeah, one hundred percent. That's why I said, that's Walls
is uh, That's that's all he's got. So of course
they're going to keep doing that. Him and Keith.

Speaker 10 (50:52):
We need to create some news.

Speaker 1 (50:54):
Yeah, if we can, we need the memes.

Speaker 10 (50:58):
And stuff like they did us for a whole year.

Speaker 14 (51:01):
That would be great.

Speaker 1 (51:02):
Yeah, but they can't.

Speaker 10 (51:03):
Mean so I have another thing.

Speaker 1 (51:04):
Yeah, I'm sorry, No, what's that?

Speaker 10 (51:09):
But now it's the second shooting. What's going to happen
if we start looking like we're going to have another
summer of love.

Speaker 1 (51:17):
I don't know. I people will die, I guess would
be my first answer. I think. I think when you've
got people and you have a thanks for the call,
there're shielad. When you have agitators on the ground and
you have all these people ginned up, and look because

(51:38):
you have to. You have to understand what all of
this is going after. What is at stake for so
many people, whether it is the investigations in Minnesota or
any other state with the fraud, and that is the
wholesale dismantling of a particular set of ideology is bad enough,

(51:58):
but these this is also how this is people's lifestyle. Right.
If you're one of these people who's getting by on
the fraud and you're not having to work, really and
there's that much money at stake, this is your whole
existence that they're going after what it is, You're going
to fight like hell because then you might go to jail,

(52:21):
you might have to get a job, you'll definitely have
less money. There's a lot of stake for lunatics.

Speaker 3 (52:26):
There's a lot of stake for the Listen. The Democratic
Party cannot survive without fraud and without illegal immigration, yes.

Speaker 1 (52:32):
For a portion for apportionment.

Speaker 3 (52:34):
That's why you're seeing what you're seeing because the Democrat
the party is realizing that it could soon be completely
powerless without without taxpayer money, fraud and illegal immigration, you
have no Democratic party. And that's why you're seeing what
you're seeing.

Speaker 1 (52:48):
It is it is endgame stuff. So that's why people
are willing to act so insane, so insane you saw,
you saw just the people losing their minds over a
weeks of not having EBT. Right, they were just threatening anarchy, right,
that's their lifestyle. So that's why things are as crazy

(53:11):
as they are. And that's why I would if they
went full Summer of love, mostly peaceful protests, I think
it'd be far worse because there's so there's there's so
much at stake here that people realize they're not gonna
be able to come back from. So what the hell?
You got to go all in on this? Because what
do you either lose it all or you see this

(53:32):
as your your one possibility of saving it. So I
don't make the prediction lightly, but that's where my analysis leads.
Oh what is this Boston, Paul? What can I do
for you Casey.

Speaker 14 (53:44):
I'm sorry, man, you know, protest season snuck up on
me so fast. I didn't get you anything. I'll have
to get you next time. But this is a girl
that got shot. They were mentioned.

Speaker 13 (53:56):
Early on that she's a member of the rap response
to correct that she'd be notified where ICE was conducting
operations and she would rapidly get there to interfere with
their with their with their operations.

Speaker 14 (54:11):
I mean, this is what's going to happen. And then
I see some of this reporting on like the five
that a Tarrell guy forward, Darrel Ford. He says, why
didn't he shoot the tires?

Speaker 2 (54:22):
Though?

Speaker 1 (54:23):
Oh yeah?

Speaker 14 (54:24):
And then another one says didn't he see that the
tires were turned away from him?

Speaker 1 (54:29):
Like, well, you know, as you know, if you like
you've blown a tire before your vehicle comes immediately to
a stop, right. Okay, Hey, by the way, since you're
gonna get me something, I got you some Boston Paul.
I got you a Buffalo Bill's trough for your house.

Speaker 14 (54:50):
Hey, you know, kid at school, we had those when
I was a kid at school. I mean that's going
way back.

Speaker 2 (54:56):
How old did that stadium?

Speaker 1 (54:57):
I had to look it up, seventy three.

Speaker 14 (55:01):
No, that's when they closed down my old elementary school. Yeah,
but we had the basement was in the basement, and uh,
you know, you had the asbestos pipes all over the
place and the fourth hot water radiator is clanking away.
That brought back some memories when Ross Bred said the
draft there.

Speaker 1 (55:17):
Yeah, I was going to get you something from Foxboro,
but the only thing they had for sale was the
ball to flator. So I didn't know. I realized that
in the old.

Speaker 14 (55:25):
State hum in Foxborough didn't have enough bathroom. You you
you just went where you could. But yeah, so who
you picking? Who you're picking? Uh, since your team's nowhere
to be found.

Speaker 1 (55:36):
But I'm on team Bills. I want the Bills to win.

Speaker 3 (55:42):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (55:43):
Really, I'm committed to two things. Ross's team finally getting
a ring and the wholesale destruction of the Patriots. So
those are my goals.

Speaker 14 (55:52):
Oh no, this is I just I'm just amazing how
well they did this year.

Speaker 1 (55:57):
I was pretty by the way, when whenever I want
to know, I want to know, I got Boston Paul
on just so you understand clearly how obnoxious it would
be to be his neighbor. This lunatic has a projector
that projects Patriots logos onto his garage, so everyone has to.

Speaker 14 (56:15):
Look at six of them.

Speaker 1 (56:20):
He sent me a photo of it, and four people
of the colt would ever have to put up with that,
So all.

Speaker 14 (56:28):
Right, I have to add another one.

Speaker 13 (56:29):
Alright.

Speaker 1 (56:30):
Yeah, well that's how things. That's how our garage doors
get broken. That's all I'm saying. All right, Boston, Paul,
get out here. There we go. Yeah, Ross, can you
imagine your neighbor starts projecting Patriots logos, six of them
onto their house all night and you got to see
it out your window.

Speaker 3 (56:45):
I mean, I'm calling the police.

Speaker 1 (56:46):
Yeah, I'm calling Ice. Let's just get everybody in there.
I'll be like that guy's clearly, clearly not supposed to
be here, all right? Uh and and and again it's
there's so much at stake here what Ross was talking about,
because when they do the census, that's when this comes

(57:08):
to pass. When they go to do that census and
they figure out the number of people under the still,
in my opinion, mistaken assertion that just because you're a
warm body, you should be counted as the census. But
if they don't have those warm bodies, they're going to
lose so many congressional seats, and it is just you
want to talk about spelling the end or at the

(57:29):
very least years in the wilderness. This is how you
get there. And for all the people suckling at the
teats what is provided. In some cases it's their only
source of income. They got nothing else to lose, So
buckle in because it's probably just gonna get crazier, which
I guess is good for us here on the radio,
because you know, doom and Gloom leads the weather though

(57:54):
that's a close second pray stagic from the weather channel.
Unless you're right killing people then leads Bloom and gloom leads.
You've got it, so all you're gonna get to this weekend.
That was probably a cold from the rain.

Speaker 15 (58:09):
Yesterday we were in the low sixties. Normally we should
still be about fifty or around there for the high
and close to thirty for the average well give or take,
or to try the triangle, there's a couple degrees difference.
Next several days above that. For example, today likely gonna
get into the sixties, maybe even the seventies in some

(58:31):
spots too. A lot of clouds around. I get the
peaks of sunshine too as we head on through the day,
but for the most part, doesn't look like we are
going to see too much of the way of rain,
at least during most of the daylight hours. Probably gonna
have a chance as we go through later today, but
it's really gonna wrap up tomorrow. As we start to
see the rain chances increase, So Tomorrow does look like

(58:52):
it will be damp again mentioned last couple of days.
If you are heading to the Panthers game in Charlotte,
there is a chance ants that there is some thunder
at kickoff, but it doesn't look like a great chance,
so if you're going out, prepare for that. Prepare for rain,
as we'll have occasional rain here tapering off to showers,
maybe an isolated thunderstorm in the afternoon. Tomorrow, load to

(59:13):
mid seventies still for the high so I don't know
if we're gonna get records. The records a believer in
the mid and upper seventies like they are today for
the Triad Triangle, and then by Sunday some cooler arero
comitment upper fifties and maybe a little rain in the morning,
then sunshine and then sunny early next week, cold day Monday,
mid upper forties but pretty close to average for many,
and then back to the fifties by Tuesday. So really Casey,

(59:36):
the impact days are later tonight tomorrow on into tomorrow
night with the rain, maybe some decent rain in spots
and the thunder, but you know, no real life threatening,
we don't think type of weather. But if you do
hear thunder, thunder roars, get indoors, especially if you're gonna
be out tailgating for the game. If you are headed
to Charlotte tomorrow, there could be some thunder in the area.

Speaker 1 (59:57):
By the way, what a difference two months I remember,
and I went and looked it up. Like two months
ago you could buy a Panther's ticket for fourteen dollars
and how much now one hundred and seventy is the
or one sixty five is the low ticket for the
playoff ticket. Yeah, that's not terrible. Could have saved yourself. Yeah,

(01:00:19):
a bunch of money. Anyway, did you think last night?
I thought it was a good game, Yeah, there was.
I thought it was. I'm not convinced Miami's gonna stand
a chance against Indiana though, No, I think Indiana.

Speaker 15 (01:00:31):
I think they handle Oregon easily tonight.

Speaker 1 (01:00:34):
Yeah, and I don't admit to know enough about Oregon,
but I just don't think Miami name is good as
even though they got the win. Yeah, I have some questions,
but who knows. Like I said, it's Indiana or Miami,
I'll be happy with either one.

Speaker 2 (01:00:49):
So there we go.

Speaker 1 (01:00:49):
Get me too, all right, thank you, sir, appreciate it.
Raced agic there from the weather Channel seven forty six
hanging out. California's tech elite has Silicon Valley draining as
titans of the industry for Florida, basically because they are
getting ready to put to voters a measure that would
be decided in November that would impose a one time

(01:01:11):
five percent tax on any fortunes exceeding a billion dollars
and would retroactively apply to anyone deemed to California red.
I don't know how you can legally do that. By
the way, it's not the first time I've seen it proposed,
But I don't know, Like that would be like what Ross,
what state did you live in? Just for North Carolina,

(01:01:33):
was Atlanta, Georgia? Georgia? That would be like Georgia going okay, well,
Ross is making more money now, but he did his rate,
he did part of his radio career here, so let's
go ahead and let's tax him retroactively. Like that doesn't
make sense, But it has caused basically all these really
really rich dudes to go down and start snapping up

(01:01:55):
these you know, his beach estates. In fact, Page Google
co founder bought too. He bought a one hundred million
dollar property and then he brought these seventy two million
dollar property next to it. So but it has caused
a problem. As a real estate agents down in Florida
say that if you are comfortably rich but not billionaire class,

(01:02:18):
it is it has caused to the prices to drive skyward.
Because now if you have a property that's like twenty
five million, and you're seeing that people are overpaying for
the ones above you, you're probably not gonna move on price.
So that is an issue. In fact, Ross, I feel
bad for you. You guys are doing the baby thing
this year, but you were you were going to do
a beach compound down on Florida next year. Right now

(01:02:41):
it's going to be more expensive, so I don't are
you gonna be able to do the giant hundred million
dollar beach compound still because now to probably be worth
one hundred and twenty five. Yeah, this is a problem
right here. So they just have a whole list here.
But yeah, just rats fleeing the ship they helped create.
Just love it, man, all right, I can a little

(01:03:04):
real talk before we get into our conversation with Pete.
I if I owned a business that was customer facing, Okay,
it could be a hotel, could be a restaurant, just
be a store of people come in. If I owned
a business like that, I gotta tell you now, I

(01:03:28):
am convinced that if I interviewed a potential employee and
then did research them and check their social media footprint,
if I got a whiff of activist politics, I wouldn't
hire them. And I know I And here's the thing.
It's not even that I mind that people have political
different opinions than me. I have come to the conclusion

(01:03:53):
that you are a financial liability caste. In point, we
have three separate stories today of hotels that are on
blast because they either refused or said they would refuse
to let any federal law enforcement officers stay there. You
remember the Hilton story from camera which suburb it was

(01:04:18):
at the at the beginning part of the week where
Hilton actually had to come in and they've stripped that owner.
It's privately owned hotel of the brand affiliation, so they're
not going to be I think there were a Hampton
in by Hilton not anymore or not Hampton. What's the
other one I'm thinking of, there were a Hilton property. Well,
we had two more of those stories happen. And in
both instances, the employees in one case, the employee and

(01:04:40):
I think that was the one in Dallas was making
like photo copies of their licenses and then doxing them,
so that employee has been fired. Another one in the
Twin Cities, that employee has been fired as well. I
think it was a Hilton in Dallas. This other one
in Minneapolis is a yeah, it was a residence in

(01:05:04):
and now these owners of these hotel like screw the
first owners. They got their stuff taken from them. They
were all in on it. In the other two instances,
it was employees that decided that they were going to
use their position as front desk clerk or whatever it
was to get all politically at they could financially destroy

(01:05:24):
these businesses. They could you you could have an employee
that could decide that the activism is more important and
destroy your business. People refuse to do business there, they'll
bomb your ratings reviews. And you didn't do anything except
you made the decision to hire somebody who if you'd
have gone to their TikTok account and watched one of

(01:05:46):
their three hundred rants about how Trump is the Satan
and Ice is here to kidnap our neighbors, and you
could have saved yourself a lot of trouble could have
saved like that. Now, it's not about politics, I'm a
It's about assessing a real financial possibility. Longest week of
the year for me, the first week back, so uh.

(01:06:08):
But the news cycle did not disappoint. And to help
us digest some of that are radio buddy mister Pete
Calender from WBT Middays on the iHeart Radio app joins us.
Good morning, sir, good morning. Now were you?

Speaker 2 (01:06:22):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (01:06:22):
I thought I'd come back be a nice, smooth week,
just talk about football and stuff. No, No, my old
hood strikes again. I can't state. I'm getting the same thing.
I'm not from Minnesota initially, so I don't call it

(01:06:43):
my state. Yeah, that's for that matter, it's Fray.

Speaker 2 (01:06:50):
But yeah he was.

Speaker 1 (01:06:52):
Yeah, it's Pray. I don't know why to keep calling
him Fry. It's Fray.

Speaker 2 (01:06:57):
So yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:06:58):
And the funny thing is I didn't know Tim Walls
was there. Uh Frey was there. Clobashar was the Henpon
County attorney. Like so it's it's my point being, it's
like it's all the same people. They have just gotten
uh Sequentia have gotten more and more insane. But it's
the populace of Minneapolis that is really insane to me.

(01:07:19):
Like it used to be. It used to be Minnesota
was a was a purple state. Tim Polenni was governor
when I was there, a Republican. I remember that. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
and he was multi term governor. People went along to
get along. The Twin Cities were more liberal clearly than outstate.
But Minneapolis just turned into a vacuum. And some of

(01:07:41):
it I kind of predicted because if you're a kid
who's progressive or thinks you're you know, buys into the
gender stuff, and you live in South Dakota or North
Dakota or Iowa and nobody gets you or understands you,
you all move to the Twin cities, and so you
get this natural vacuum from like five different states, rule

(01:08:02):
states of everyone on the left basically going there, and
so it just it just got on steroids, man, and
I'm having to sit there. I'm having to sit There's
two things I want to play for and then I
just want to hear the pete's thoughts on all of this.
So yesterday JD. Vance uh went, you know, came in

(01:08:23):
and started yelling at the media, and they ritually deserved it.
So I'm not blaming them for that, and I'm want
to read this right after he got done literally saying
the words, you guys are meant to report the truth.
How have you let yourself become agents of propaganda? So
the media is getting put on blast and they can't

(01:08:43):
help themselves. Did you hear the question the reporter asked
right after Vance got done skinning them. This is this
is the this is the question. This is the question
they choose to ask the.

Speaker 2 (01:08:58):
Earlier.

Speaker 5 (01:08:59):
There's a left wing network to attack two docs, two
assault and make it impossible for ice officers to do
their job.

Speaker 6 (01:09:07):
You've told my colleague just now that there's an investigation
going on into that network. Yeah, so if.

Speaker 7 (01:09:15):
Everything can you say is true? How just being part
of that network justify being shot?

Speaker 1 (01:09:23):
Okay, So the I mean just the dishonesty of that question.
And then I want to couple that. I want to
couple that with the Associated Press article that was on
WRAL this morning. It's probably on a website down in
Charlotte whatever, leaving networks there. And just to show you
how quickly they'll memory hole or revision its history stuff.

(01:09:44):
All right, let me read this. Let me read this
paragraph during prior shootings. This is an article, by the way,
about what happened in Portland yesterday, right that, and then
you're going to reference back to Minneapolis. They're in prior
shootings involving agents from Trump's immigration crackdown on US cities voting.
The fatal one Wednesday in Minneapolis. Video evidence has cast

(01:10:05):
doubt on the administration's characterization of what prompted the shooting.
So Ap in a passive manner, tells anyone reading, don't
worry about it. Everyone just everyone saw the video and
it clearly was not self defense. They just write it
in there like that's, you know, settled science, and then
move on. So my question is, how does Minneapolis not

(01:10:29):
go worse or harder than twenty twenty. When the media
is so committed, more so than ever to distorting this.

Speaker 11 (01:10:38):
They won't. The only thing that I think that's keeping
a lid on it right now is the temperatures. Yeah
if yeah, like literally the weather. If this was springtime, summertime, fall,
I think it would I think the city would probably
already be burning. And I've said this, We've talked about
this in various different contexts. Once again, the issue is

(01:11:02):
never the issue. The issue is always the revolution. When jd.
Vance talks about the networks of agitators, he's exactly correct.
We tracked it with the uh the extradition, the capture
and extradition of Maduro from Venezuela. Immediately after that news

(01:11:22):
got out, we saw the very same network actors promoting
you know, the talking points and promoting the protests and
gatherings and all of that stuff. It's the same network.
It's all like the difference now, I think versus maybe
when you were up there, like you say, Minneapolis has
always been sort of this you know, liberal place and people,

(01:11:44):
you know, vacuuming up all of these liberals from all
over the rural areas nearby. But now you're locking people
in their homes due to weather cabin fever. You've got
you've got the Internet, and now people are are hanging
out on Reddit, which is where a lot of this
stuff is being organized, as well as other messaging apps,

(01:12:07):
and it has it has only grown. And then you
know layer in the funding that comes from leftists. You
know what's his name, Singham or Singman or whatever his
name is, the communist guy that made all of his
millions and now funds a lot of this stuff, like
the National Lawyer's Guild, and they put out literally handbooks

(01:12:28):
on how to protest and how to you know, to adgitate.

Speaker 2 (01:12:33):
And the whole point is.

Speaker 11 (01:12:35):
To build out the infrastructure. So this way, when you
have the spark, you have the quote issue, then you
mobilize around that issue. And that's what we're seeing. That's like,
what we see is protest against the shooting, but what's
really going on is the revolution. They're just using this issue.
It's why you saw people wearing cathias out there, kicking

(01:12:56):
in the doors of the Federal courthouse in Minneapolis, like
palifine him to do with any of this nothing. But
that's the point is the issue isn't important. It's just
can we use this issue, this moment of emotional passions
to advance chaos? And then, as George Soros wrote in
his book, you offer guide posts through the chaos, which

(01:13:19):
would which gives people the permission to accept things that
they would not normally accept because they want a restoration
of order out of the chaos. That's the that's the
same model.

Speaker 1 (01:13:35):
I think there's replicated thing too. I agree with you
one hundred percent. I think there's one other thing too
that's in there. And oh jeez, And then just literally
just escape my brain. What was they going to say? Oh?
And that is that if your Tim, like I almost understand,
Tim Walls, is going to hold a press conference and
say insane crap every day, probably for the foreseeable future.

Speaker 2 (01:13:57):
So he's a comedy.

Speaker 1 (01:13:58):
Yeah, but if he if his lip stop moving about this,
then questions start coming about the fraud. So now you
have a higher political class who is in charge in Minnesota,
who has to lean into this this martyrdom narrative each
and every day for fear of having to actually, you know,

(01:14:19):
talk about the other stuff.

Speaker 2 (01:14:21):
Yeah.

Speaker 11 (01:14:22):
I think you're exactly right, and I think this offers
a very convenient distraction. They can talk about this, they
can agitate around this topic, and that helps them avoid
having to talk about the scandal that is only growing larger. Also,
you know, if you've got you've got threats out in

(01:14:42):
the streets, you know, you've got a volatile situation. It
reduces the likelihood that you're going to see more YouTubers
descending on leering centers trying to get you know, video
of no kids at the at the daycares.

Speaker 1 (01:14:59):
Yeah. Yeah, although I did see there's a guy in
Columbus who was doing it and then didn't John Rocker
the old picture go out and do it too.

Speaker 11 (01:15:07):
It's like they're still happening all over the place.

Speaker 1 (01:15:09):
Yeah, there's still people going out. You know, people have
to remember too well, this is just one example of it.
Like you look, Mississippi. They have a seventy seven million
dollar frauds candle going on now Mississippi. So you just
putioned that out to their other fifty states. The amount
of money that's being stolen, just being blatantly stolen.

Speaker 2 (01:15:30):
I like it.

Speaker 1 (01:15:31):
I don't know, I don't know what that number is,
but I don't think we've heard it yet and so
I saw one.

Speaker 11 (01:15:36):
Estimate somewhere around half a trillion dollars.

Speaker 1 (01:15:39):
Nationals just being Pilford, what is it?

Speaker 11 (01:15:42):
Well, and yeah, and this is what this is the
beauty of the democratization of media, which you know, the
left used to be all four in order to you know,
break the capitalist corporatist grip on media. That now like
people know the blueprint. All you have to do is
get your camera and do a couple of internet searches

(01:16:04):
of government documentation and then go verify. That's I mean,
because that's all that's happening is people are now going
and looking to verify this stuff. I'm seeing at least
a video a day of somebody going up to some
daycare or healthcare company or transportation company and they go
up there and they just ask like where, like where
are all the kids, where are the clients, where are

(01:16:26):
your employees? That kind of thing, and it's exposing I mean, look,
if this kind of stuff was happening at the international
level via USAID, right, that was exposed in the early
days of the administration with the doje Elon Musk's DOGE people, right,
why would we not think that model is replicated or
is not replicated at the local and state levels. Right,

(01:16:49):
Why would we think that nonprofits essentially NGOs, Why wouldn't
they be doing the same blueprint at the local and
state level.

Speaker 1 (01:16:56):
Here's where I'm going with this, because you're you're right,
and so it is that level. The desperation on the
part of politicians is the wholesale destruction of the Democrat
Party when the census rolls around. If Trump's been able
to clear enough warm bodies out of these blue districts, right,
that's a fear. That's a fear that you may not
be able to come back from that. The other side

(01:17:16):
of it is if you were to go through and
literally kick everyone off's who is fleecing the system. That's
their job, So that's their livelihood. So now you have
all of these people, if you don't throw them in
jail for crimes that are sitting down there, they're out there,
they got nothing to do. This is why I think
it could get worse, because now all these people are

(01:17:38):
going to be displaced, and they're going to rally around
the people who they feel might give them their drift back.
So you got these willing soldiers, just like this woman.
This is I can't get my head around this. Who
has a child, The child doesn't have a father because
the father passed away. She has two so she has
one kid and then her partner has two others. That

(01:17:59):
she's a step parent is my understanding. Ah, But she
has a physical child of her own. Her husband died,
this child had one parent left, and she still went
out organized and participated in this thing. And I can't
imagine a parent putting themselves in that position being the

(01:18:20):
only thing their child has left. What I mean that
this shows you how committed man, how committed these are?

Speaker 14 (01:18:28):
Right?

Speaker 11 (01:18:28):
Well, well, this gets that. This gets to the you know,
the the construction of the permission structure. When you are
hearing from all of your your friends, your you know,
your online community. I think this woman saw in the
New York Post. I think it was that they were
saying she sort of got radicalized and got into the
social justice stuff and like her kid's daycare or something

(01:18:50):
like that. And when you are constantly reinforced in the
belief that people that the government is coming to kill
you and kill other peop people, They're coming to do
all these terrible things, and you amp that up right,
and you got the Gestapo and you got literally Hitler
and all of this. It feeds this this you know,

(01:19:11):
sort of main character syndrome that you're the main character,
You're the hero, You're the one to save everybody. You're
going to do your part, You're going to take a
stand in the next civil rights issue of our day.
And you go along with this. These are you know,
the people that have always been implemented by revolutionaries, right
to to throw their bodies. I believe one of the

(01:19:32):
elected lawmakers in Minneapolis said, throw your body in front
of the ice.

Speaker 2 (01:19:39):
Yeah.

Speaker 11 (01:19:39):
So like you're getting all of this reinforcement that says
you should be doing this and layer in there a society,
uh predominantly on the left, but we also see some
of it on sort of the horseshoe right, that woke
right element that they're telling you, you know, America is terrible,
we're the bad guys. You're fighting for freedom into mind.

(01:20:00):
And also you elevate empathy as the highest principle in
the society. But there is no greater thing than to
be empathetic for some other group. And that is what
this is what Dad said calls the suicidal empathy, where
people are willing to die to prove their their commitment

(01:20:21):
to empathy. Much like in like an honor culture, you
would commit suicide if your honor was besmirched.

Speaker 1 (01:20:27):
You know, Hey, I just I'm sorry. I just want
to make sure I get this in. I only have
about two and a half minutes. Dude, I was laughing hysterically.
I'm sure you're not reading the story about Sheriff Vido
Corleone down there you have.

Speaker 11 (01:20:42):
I called him Gary.

Speaker 1 (01:20:43):
Not my fault, McFadden, just the audacity he did the meme.
He did the meme, you know with the dude from soprano.
It's like nice life you got there, be ashamed or
something happened to it, like that's evil villain layer from
movie stuff. Did he actually do that?

Speaker 11 (01:20:59):
That's what State Presentative Carla Cunningham alleges in the petition
to remove our often frustrated his word sheriff. This guy
has a look he's been sheriff for now almost eight years,
right his second term. And the petition gets dropped the
first Monday, this Monday of the new year, and there

(01:21:20):
are efforts by you know, I saw part of the
News and Observer They're like, oh, this is an election
related he's calling it an election smear campaign and filled
with life. But the petition has five people in it
that have sworn these raffidavits talking about what he has done,
and they want to remove. Four of them are former employees.

(01:21:40):
One of them was his chief deputy, and the other
is the sitting lawmaker, Carla Cunningham, who says that he
told her that it'd be you know, basically, it'd be
a shame if she got hurt, and the Mecklenberg voters
are going to come after her if she votes with
the Republicans to override Josh Stein's veto on the Ice
Cooperation bill, which she did, and she had to get
private security at her home, she had to get capital protector,

(01:22:03):
and Raleigh, she was under threat all the time from.

Speaker 1 (01:22:06):
The left and then sying coming after yeah yeah.

Speaker 11 (01:22:13):
Yeah, back in her, back in her opponent in the primary.

Speaker 1 (01:22:16):
This is gonna be very interesting to watch. I would
have I wanted to spend more time on it, and
then the thing in Minneapolis happens. Maybe we'll touch base
if there's any movement.

Speaker 11 (01:22:22):
But oh, there will always be mcsad in news. There
will always be time to talk about mcsaden.

Speaker 1 (01:22:26):
Oh, wonderful. All right, having good weekend. We'll talk to
you next week and we'll be right back. I was
just telling Ross about this because I saw him being
interviewed and hit me. It felt disrespectful, is what I'll say.
So here we go, Ohio State four star. He's from Cleveland,

(01:22:48):
running back recruit, right, supposed to be the next big thing.

Speaker 11 (01:22:54):
He is there.

Speaker 1 (01:22:56):
They're running back whose name is Lamar Jackson Jackson Junior.
It's his actual legal name. But he didn't go by
that saying that you know, and and look he's cocky,
but he's you know, he's an Ohio state top recruit.
He could be cocky. He said he didn't want people
confusing him with Lamar Jackson, the core of the NFL quarterback,

(01:23:20):
so instead he chose to keep the last name Jackson,
but go by the nickname his father called him, which
is Bow.

Speaker 3 (01:23:33):
I won't be confusing at all.

Speaker 1 (01:23:35):
Yeah, he's got to know, right, maybe he doesn't hold
as a kid like super young. Right, Well, he's he's.

Speaker 3 (01:23:42):
Just got recruited to play a college ball then, right, Okay,
so he probably might have never heard of bo Jackson.

Speaker 1 (01:23:48):
I would would you rather be compared every time? Your
name comes up to Lamar Jackson or Bo Jackson.

Speaker 3 (01:23:54):
Uh, no, distress back to Lamar. But I feel like
bo Jackson is like in legendary, legendary figure. It's one
of the and it's one of those biggest like what
ifs in sports?

Speaker 2 (01:24:05):
Right?

Speaker 1 (01:24:05):
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I would say it's probably
the biggest, yeah, because remember it affected two different sports.
Watching highlights of Bo Jackson played baseball or football was
equally as satisfying. Watching a best of Bo Jackson's college
tape from his Auburn career is it doesn't look real?

Speaker 3 (01:24:27):
Or or a best of Bo Jackson video game collab
where he runs the diagonals back and forth on the
field and scores. That's right, man.

Speaker 11 (01:24:36):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:24:36):
Bo Jackson, along with one other man, famously hampered video
gaming for right.

Speaker 3 (01:24:42):
I think when it comes to like, you know, where
you're talking about Techmobile, everybody talks about super Techmobile Mo
Jackson because he was unstoppable. But if you go back
to the original Techmobil, Walter Payton in Chicago, Walter Payton
was equally unstoppable.

Speaker 1 (01:24:55):
It wasn't fun if you saw your friend choose the
team first.

Speaker 3 (01:24:58):
No, if you did, you'd have to go. My only
option would be if he's gonna beat me, you know,
he's got the best running game, you'd have to go
with Joe Montana and the San Francisco forty nine ers.
That's what you would have to do to beat him
in the passing game.

Speaker 1 (01:25:10):
No choyce.

Speaker 3 (01:25:11):
You ever see that video of Joe Montana on the
sideline realizing he can call his wife.

Speaker 1 (01:25:16):
I saw him. I saw him talking about in an interview,
and so he figured out and he would go to
every stadium they'd go to. He figured out that that
phone you can pick up if you press nine, you
can call long distance, and you got to which was
a big deal back of that day.

Speaker 3 (01:25:29):
Yeah, it's crazy now, like to think, like you know,
all of our calls are pretty much long distance numbers.
Back in the day, it had to be like a thing,
like you'd like.

Speaker 1 (01:25:35):
Plan it like I have. I've had the same Minnesota
cellular number prefix for twenty years now, twenty years. But
back back way back when I was a kid, if
we were gonna call grandma or grandpa, like my mom
would organize it to speed run it right. And for
you it was even more complicated because you would call

(01:25:57):
and get the lady connecting you with the tubes and
stuff frame the wall being in Who was in our
house because the only people who lived there.

Speaker 3 (01:26:06):
You know what, you laugh?

Speaker 1 (01:26:08):
But no, no, no, So my mom would speed run
it so she get all the kids together. You'll have
two or three minutes talk to grandma and grandpa if
we were going to call, because there was no way
that woman was paying a long distance build it was
more than fifteen minutes. Wasn't gonna happen. So, but I
will say this, When I was a kid, though, and
I took it for granted. When I was a kid,
I thought, because Wyoming is three h six area code

(01:26:30):
the whole state, and I thought, every state just have
their own area code. What why are you laughing at me?
Because others there were other states out there who also
only had one area code because population. But it was
I'll tell you so, when I was a kid, up
until like mid high school, you only had to dial

(01:26:52):
four numbers to make a local call. I know this
sounds like Maybury old timey.

Speaker 3 (01:26:56):
So you what do you mean?

Speaker 1 (01:26:58):
So everyone in Wyoming is yeah, everyone in Buffalo, Wyoming
is uh? Then three oh six six eight four And
then shut up, and then you are one of the
ten thousand options after that, because they didn't have ten
thousand uh phones even you know, between home phones, business phones,

(01:27:20):
they never had it. So everybody had the first like
like the area code, and the three numbers were all
the same for the entire city. Yeah, so if you're
let's say the last four numbers of your phone was
twelve twenty one, then I would just all I'd have
to remember is Ross's twelve twenty one. And you would
tell people like that, what's hey, what's the what's the
hazes number? Twelve twenty one, and he just dial us
four numbers And then if you dialed the if you

(01:27:42):
wanted to call long distance, you had to dial the
all the prefix stuff. But and then when I was
in high school, they changed it because they started including
Sheridan and Gillette as local even though you know, seventy
miles away. And then we went over ten thousand, so
we had to use the six eight four, and everything
there started going downhill in my opinion, Oh well most

(01:28:03):
locals opinions too. Yeah, dude. People were losing their minds
over having to dial three extra numbers. The imposition of
having to punch six' eighty four was the topic of
conversation for like six months in my. Town But i'm,
LIKE i actually got it at that. Point i'm, like,
well now it's not long distance to Call sheridan AND

(01:28:24):
i had friends And sheridan friends In, gillette And i'd
always get in trouble IF i ran up the phone.
Bill so now it was just a local. Call So i'm,
like this is a good. Thing i'd allowed six eighty.
Four but, yeah we only had to punch four. Numbers
AND i was in the, nineties so not that long.
Ago all, Right so that's that's a little sidetracked, There
but that's. Okay let me let me grab this other

(01:28:44):
STORY i want to talk. About uh oh, yeah just
because we're doing silly. Stuff, now do we need A jackass?
FIVE i had to look at. It Johnny knoxville is
going to be fifty five here in like two. Months
how many of the original cast are still? Alive and
Know STEVE o was doing very, WELL i Know Johnny
knoxville is Doing. Okay they look, yeah uh. Well the

(01:29:09):
really the way they're teasing it is for the Fifth
Jackass Bam majera is coming, back which if you don't
know that whole, story that, guy that guy went off the.
Rim do you, remember, dude do you remember just like
it kept? Disappearing so do you remember When Hulk, cogan
LIKE u thought he was. Dead do you remember that? Ripped?

Speaker 3 (01:29:26):
Yeah So Hulk hogan back in the day posted a
picture of him And bam and it was he said
said something, like you know a mis you, brother wish
we could still hang out rip And. Bam majera wrote,
Back i'm still, alive, brother miss you.

Speaker 2 (01:29:38):
Too.

Speaker 1 (01:29:38):
Now to be, Fair majeria was doing so bad with
all the drugs and everything that was going, on you
could reasonably. Assume and THEN i remember he just disappeared
for a while and people thought he was.

Speaker 3 (01:29:47):
Dead but, yeah so.

Speaker 1 (01:29:50):
Apparently he's he's he's well enough TO u come back
for the Fifth jackass. MOVIE i just think somebody's gonna.
Die LIKE i get it WHEN i get, it when
you're in your mid, twenties right and you want to
go and, uh you, know have a boll of flip
your butt over tea, kettle like you recover from. THAT
i remember doing stupid stuff WHEN i was in high.

(01:30:11):
School we'd break, HORSES i physically ache at forty five Watching. Jackass,
now one of the craziest PARTIES i ever went to
was a was a A jackass. Party it was a
bunch of the guys from that that show came. Through
and THAT'S i told you before how WHEN i worked
In Salt Lake, city we did an event where We,
man the little guy remember, what was going to be
there and the event was gonna Be We're we're gonna

(01:30:31):
people toss him off the stage and he was super
excited about it, afterwards but they had to cancel it for.
Reasons they were, like this isn't bad. Taste we don't
want to hurt we man we men was, like you're
all a bunch of. Cowards throw me off the stage
the guys asking for and afterwards we went to this
this house party on the woods and they tore that house.
UP i would, dude it was. Bad whose house WAS

(01:30:53):
i have no?

Speaker 3 (01:30:53):
Idea, oh no.

Speaker 1 (01:30:54):
Idea don't want their? Houses? No oh. God so it's
just some, rentals probably radio redded for them to do
their tour. Thing oh that's. Awful or fund it was
a party? Fund oh it was. Great. Yeah did you
ever get to Throw wei man at any, point never
and a complete. Disappointment they didn't have a pool or we.

Speaker 3 (01:31:14):
Had we had promoted and we had talked about it
in the morning show and it was gonna be this
big thing and he showed up at the last. Second
the owner, DECIDED i guess for like insurance. Purposes because
the club we were at there and downtown so like,
cities called The vortex and in like the big dance,
room they had like a stage above and they were
going to throw them off the stage onto.

Speaker 1 (01:31:33):
That as you, do, ye, yeah but you don't because
the guys had. Cowered, yeah that's because that you'll probably
never get that opportunity, again because Like dinklage went on
his crusade and like.

Speaker 3 (01:31:46):
Right i'll say this. Too but you, know being in
radio from only almost thirty, years which is crazy to think,
about and like being in music radio for a large
amount of, That i've met a lot of people and
like seeing people Like i've never seen the dude pull
more women than we man, real, yeah like all over,
him all over.

Speaker 1 (01:32:05):
Him, well it wouldn't be hard to cover. HIM i
have so many, questions none of WHICH i can ask
on the. Radio so well that's. Unfortunate, yeah doing this
job for basically our entire, lives and neither of us
has gotten to toss a little person like BECAUSE i
remember that used to do promotions like. That i'd see

(01:32:27):
stations do stuff with the velcrow, Thing remember the velt crow. Thing,
yep and like never had the never had the. Opportunity,
anyway Raced agic from The Weather. Channel have you ever
got to throw a member of The jackass? CAST i have.
Not you could probably throw him pretty far talking about
we Probably ross was doing a promotion where he's gonna

(01:32:47):
get to throw We, man and then the owner of
the club was so and he bailed out for insurance.
Purposes he's, like as he, should, right well she knows. Better,
yeah because you'll know how Many you're never gonna get
that opportunity, again probably NOT pc can do, that and
We man was asking for. It so, anyway, okay all,

(01:33:08):
right is it? Good we man throwing with, yeah We,
man We, Man, yes it's gonna be. Good, now let's
dig in a little to the.

Speaker 15 (01:33:16):

record high today is seventy three tomorrow seventy, five seventy
seven at the triad for today didn't look. Up tomorrow's

(01:33:36):
see some record warmth litimate.

Speaker 1 (01:33:38):
Seventies the next two.

Speaker 15 (01:33:39):
Days the rain chance today is basically later toward, dinnertime
a little cloud it's apache fog around this, morning and
a lot of clouds as to get into the, afternoon
so not a real bright day. Today then i rain
we'll start coming in, tonight later rain. Tomorrow occasion of the,
rain maybe, thunder especially in the afternoon when the rain
becomes more scattered in the, front gets upon, us and
that chance will linger into the evening, hours and then

Year so again we've been saying the last couple of,
days if you are going to be out and about this,
weekend Especially, saturday to be some, rain maybe some isolated,

(01:34:22):
thunder and that could impact The panthers. Game small, chance
but small chance could be a lightning. Delay so if
