Speaker 1 (00:00):
K c O Day Radio program.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
Uh, it is Friday, so we uh oh.
Speaker 1 (00:05):
I feel like we need that. It's just been a
weird week. And I gotta tell you, you know.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
I have to uh after after the show every day,
right after we're done, I have to record a promo, right,
so we get done with the show.
Speaker 1 (00:23):
Ross is like, all.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
Right, we're recording, let's go, and then I have to
think of something to tell you that it's uh that
we're gonna be talking about the next day, right, pretty
standard stuff. If I have a guess, that becomes easy.
If we have a big story where we're expecting an
update the next day, that becomes easy. But I, you know,
there's sometimes I gotta kinda kind of guess what you
(00:47):
know what, like what what? What did my decades of
experience tell me will likely be something we're gonna be
talking about tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
And I would not have.
Speaker 2 (00:59):
I would not even when I was recording the promo
right at the end of the show yesterday, had thought
that a good portion of the show was going to
be about NBA former and current players and gambling and
X ray glasses and the mob and because man, that thing.
Within thirty minutes of the show. When did I text
you Ross?
Speaker 1 (01:19):
What was it?
Speaker 2 (01:19):
Maybe twenty minutes thirty minutes after the show, when I'm like, dude,
they're they're out there, arrested all the NBA players.
Speaker 3 (01:27):
Yeah, and I saw that I'd seen enough. At that point,
I'm like, we need to put Lebron in prison.
Speaker 1 (01:31):
Yes, Ross was Ross had immediate thoughts on this.
Speaker 3 (01:35):
I didn't even read the story or know anything about it.
I just knew what had to be done.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
So I texted you at seven or excuse me, at ninth. No, No,
that's the other one. Hold on about forty five minutes
after the show. There we go.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
So and then it was probably about fifteen minutes after
they started arresting them. And so, you know what's crazy
is the one dude they arrested is a dude who
who is gambling buddies with Lebron. See, but they have
had there's you know, there's interview evidence all of that.
(02:09):
Of Now, that doesn't mean it's not on the up
and up. It sounds like the dudes a lot of
these guys are degenerate gamblers. You'd have to be, because
the one guy they arrested, he made twenty six or
is going to make twenty six million this year. He
made the same last year, and according to authorities, he
rigged that game for two hundred where where he allegedly
(02:31):
went out sick when he's playing for the Hornets for
two hundred thousand dollars.
Speaker 3 (02:37):
Yeah, you have people saying, you know, he made that
much money, but he threw it away for two hundred thousand.
Well you got to you know, that wasn't the first time.
I'm sure he did that, right.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
But still, I mean, I mean, how.
Speaker 3 (02:46):
Long has he been doing it?
Speaker 1 (02:48):
You know what I mean?
Speaker 3 (02:49):
It could have added up to a lot of money,
Not as if two hundred thousand isn't a lot.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
Well no, but it's comparably right, comparably Yeah, yeah, I
mean most people listening to this show and self include,
we're not gonna make two hundred thousand this year, so
let alone gambling, let alone on time, like, Ross, do
you think you could make twenty six point one million work?
Speaker 1 (03:09):
No?
Speaker 4 (03:10):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (03:10):
If I was like that was my salar, yeah'll be fine.
I think it'd be fun.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
Officially, think I was asking like if I made that much,
like no, oh no, no, no, no, If you do, you
need to tell me right now. Because I have to
talk to Trevor after the.
Speaker 3 (03:24):
Show once again. You know, there'd be signs yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
This is true, this is true, a lot of and
there'd be a lot of revenges.
Speaker 1 (03:35):
People would people would be paying around you.
Speaker 3 (03:38):
You know, I'd be marking a lot of names off that,
you know, revenge list or whatever. Yeah, yeah, my enemy's list.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
Right, what I'm not on right?
Speaker 3 (03:47):
Anyway, two hundred thousand dollars point one. Yeah, you know,
adds up. So let's not pretend this was the first
time that the guy did this.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
Well, we're well, for some out there, they are are
surmising that it's the first that the investigation literally just started.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
Steven A.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
Smith sometimes has really just the worst takes ever, and
we'll we'll share his with you because he went on
this whole weird rant yester.
Speaker 3 (04:18):
Wasn't he on the same show? Him and Skip bay
listed a show?
Speaker 1 (04:21):
Right?
Speaker 3 (04:22):
Or am I misremembering that?
Speaker 1 (04:24):
No?
Speaker 2 (04:24):
Skip was with uh oh he was with Sharp Shannon Sharp.
They hated each other.
Speaker 3 (04:29):
Yes, well, they should put Skip bay Lists and stephen
A on the same show together because it would be
just be just called worst take the worst Steve.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
But Steven A. Smith sometimes has.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
Really good takes he does, and the Bayleish is oh,
for every.
Speaker 1 (04:42):
The whole life, his whole life, for his whole life.
Speaker 3 (04:45):
Right, Stephen A is sort of like Bill Maher where
a case, he'll come out and he'll say something that
makes sense and the right will prop it up, and
then the next day he'll say something that's just backcrap crazy.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
I'm not even talking about the you know, sometimes he's
got good he has some really good sporting takes. Sometimes
I appreciate I appreciate that, you know why, because he
doesn't care. And sometimes especially if an athlete's one of
the you know, hey, everybody loves this athlete, if it's
one of those kinds of athletes, Steven A. Smith oftentimes
is the only one who actually say what needs.
Speaker 1 (05:17):
To be said.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
But whatever he was on about yesterday with this is
part of Trump's revenge tour. It was so ludicrous, man,
so ludicrous that even Patel had to come out like
correct him in an interview, because like, here's the thing.
(05:39):
If anybody on this planet thinks that the FBI broke
open a multi you know, thirty some people arrested in
involving the mob sports fixing all.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
Of this, you know, high profile individuals.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
If you think that they put together the entirety of
that case and we're ready to move in this rico
ish fashion in less than you know, less than a year,
You're insane.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
That's just not that's not how it rolls, man.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
And and by the way, some of these things were
investigated independently by the NBA years ago. And of course
the NBA was like, we investigated ourselves.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
Everything's fine. So so I mean's and that and that
wasn't unknown. But I mean, all right, here here we go.
This is this is here is Stephen A. Smith.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
And I apologize to I'm gonna torture you with this
this morning, but holy hell, this is a bad take.
Speaker 5 (06:41):
How many times, for one incident after another, have I
said Trump is coming, He's coming. I'm gonna stay it
on national television again. Bad Bunny is is performing at the.
Speaker 6 (06:56):
Super Bowl, and all of a sudden you hear in Ice.
Speaker 5 (06:58):
Is gonna be there looking to engage in mass deportations.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
All right, I gotta stop him here. The bad Bunny
thing that's bad Bunny is the one who said that
Ice was going to be there, and he said he
was going to be at his concerts.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
So, like it's clear from the jump Steven A. Smith
wants to make a point and he's slow rolling to
get to the point and he's just trying to fill
it with examples that.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
He didn't even reach. You know, I super Bowl, Well
I'm sorry.
Speaker 3 (07:26):
I heard him say that, and my initial reaction was,
I'm pretty sure the left is they're the ones that
came out with the talking point. I had completely forgotten
it was the actual guy that said it. Like it
was bad.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
Yeah, yes, yeah, that's why he can't.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
He that's why he canceled his other concerts so that
he wouldn't play in the US until they gave him.
And then they gave him the super Bowl thing. You know,
he was fine, but he's still not doing his concerts.
But he's the one who said it, so so it's
a bad supporting them.
Speaker 3 (07:52):
He did say it right, and then there were people
on the right there'd be like, well that would be hilarious.
Oh yeah, but that that but that take did not
come from the right.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
No, no, but more specifically, it did not. Trump didn't
say it right, which is what Stephen as implying here.
He may maybe he did, maybe he thought it. He's like,
that is a good idea, and then you know, called
Christy and I was like, hey, I got I got
some I don't know, but like, let's just if you're
going to use this as the leg of the chair
you're trying to build here, let's let's all right, so
(08:22):
uh straight number one, let's.
Speaker 6 (08:24):
Go disrupting things.
Speaker 5 (08:26):
Big night for the NBA went beyonda put on a
show that has now been smeared because we're talking about
this story.
Speaker 6 (08:34):
Okay, remember Trump.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
Has a long, long, situway.
Speaker 2 (08:37):
So Trump ruined the prom night for the NBA or
their the you know, their first night. Some would argue
that people rigging the game might have ruined that, but
you know, let's just that's just.
Speaker 5 (08:50):
Me history connected to the world of sports. Because he
had those casinos. Way do you think folks will come
in half the time? I'm not talking about individuals, I'm
talking about the culture. When people want to want to
go to a casino, when people want to gamble, when
people want to party, or whatever the case may be.
Speaker 6 (09:05):
This was his kind of connection to that.
Speaker 5 (09:08):
Why am I glad you're here, Monica, because don't be
surprised that the w n B A is next on
his list, because when you've got all of these protra.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
Wait, hold on, what is the what is the purported
alleged thing with it?
Speaker 6 (09:22):
What?
Speaker 1 (09:22):
What is Trump going to do the w n B A.
Are there illege? Are there legal immigrants playing? I don't know.
Speaker 2 (09:29):
I don't know what the if anyone's gambling, If anyone
bets on the w n B A, they should not
be able to gamble anymore, although they are and they're
doing it in a weird way that's made a mad,
which will tell you about coming up.
Speaker 1 (09:40):
But okay, all right, So the w n b A
is next.
Speaker 5 (09:43):
Tests that have been going out there and people that
have been protesting against him and what have you.
Speaker 6 (09:47):
This man is coming.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
He's again, what's you gonna do? Come and arrest their fan?
I don't under I don't understand what the what the
w n B A references?
Speaker 3 (09:57):
Did you see the battle the Babylon B take on that?
Speaker 1 (10:00):
What was that?
Speaker 3 (10:01):
It showed a picture of Angel Reese and it says
w NBA claims not to be involved in illegal gambling.
They're just really bad at basketball.
Speaker 1 (10:08):
Yeah, she blocked that. She blocked the one dude from them.
Speaker 3 (10:11):
Yeah, I mean maybe that's it. Do you think did shee?
Do you really think that you know she misses all
those shots on purpose? No way?
Speaker 7 (10:16):
Right?
Speaker 1 (10:17):
Well, I mean I don't know.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
I think somebody may have gambled on the number of
sacks that Wentz would take last night. Sorry, we'll get
to we'll, we'll, we'll get into that. What kind of
All right, let me let's let's Steven finish his bad thought.
Speaker 5 (10:35):
And I've been saying it for a long time, and
to me, this is the latest nugget of evidence that
we're talking about right here. That's not to question the
legitimacy of the case.
Speaker 6 (10:44):
We don't know. We're all sitting up here and with
saying that we don't know.
Speaker 5 (10:48):
But anybody that has been around him, anybody that has
talked to him, anybody that has seen his reactions from
the sports leagues and the positions that people have taken,
they are not surprised at what's going on today.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
All right, So so that you know the implication, of course,
that this is part of Trump's revenge tour, which obviously
you don't build a case involving the you know, four
of the five families, all of these these uh, you know, celebrities.
Speaker 1 (11:24):
As well as a lot of really rich.
Speaker 2 (11:25):
People because you know, you you recognize that they probably
have means to bring in some pretty good attorneys. So
you have to have this thing locked down, and that's
who you know. You're not dealing with poors here. You're
dealing with former NBA and current NBA players who haven't
have made a lot of money and a current NBA code.
I love Chauncey billups by the way. I loved watching
(11:48):
Chauncey Billups play. He played for the Minnesota Timberwolves with
k g oh Man and Wally and we you know,
when we made a run got hummeled by the Lakers
to go to the West Stern Conference championship. It was
was very painful. That was a that was a wonderful
year and Billips was instrumental, you know what it was
(12:09):
really like. He was very likable too when he do interviews.
He did he did a lot of the charity stuff
that we did because we did that, we had the
tim Rules broadcast for the iHeart Cluster.
Speaker 1 (12:21):
Up there.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
And so like, I had a lot of a lot
of respect for Chauncey billups Man. He also didn't he
didn't get into stuff. He wasn't a problem. And we
had a couple of players in various sports in Minneapolis
at the time there could be a problem.
Speaker 1 (12:38):
And it wasn't. Billups. Man, it's just a good dude.
So like, but these are the people you're dealing with.
Speaker 2 (12:42):
You build this case and it takes a long time
we find out, you know, you go back to the
initial NBA investigation. This is over four years. This literally
started almost at the beginning of the Biden administration. So yeah,
what a what an absolutely horrible, horrible take. They have
to watch Cash Patel standing up there about an hour
(13:05):
after the show yesterday saying this.
Speaker 8 (13:07):
But as you now know, individuals such as Chauncey, Billups,
Damon Jones, and Terry Razier were taking into custody today
former current NBA players and coaches. What you don't know
is that this is an illegal gambling operation and sports
rigging operation that spanned.
Speaker 7 (13:24):
The course of years.
Speaker 8 (13:25):
The FBI led a coordinative takedown across eleven states to
arrest over thirty individuals today responsible for this case, which
is very much ongoing.
Speaker 1 (13:35):
Not only did.
Speaker 8 (13:36):
We crack into the fraud that these perpetrators committed on
the grand stage of the NBA, but we also entered
and executed a system of justice against La Casinostra to
include the Bonano, Gambino, Genevesi and Luchas crime families.
Speaker 2 (13:57):
I mean, oh yeah, you put it together in eight
on so Trump can get can get people just just
absolutely the worst, the worst takes surrounding this. And and
I don't know if it was so bad because nobody's
saying anything that's sitting there, because there's like six people
he's explaining this to on this big panel there, and uh,
(14:19):
nobody's really chiming. Nobody even says they kind of agree
with him. I think they all realize that. And I
And again, I don't know what prompted it. Maybe you
just thought he had Maybe this is just that weird
conspiracy he has where you know what I'm saying, But
it's just there's some there's some weird thing that so
you'll you'll believe, and you in everything else, you're just
(14:40):
kind of normal. And then there's that one thing that
maybe your friends don't see right away, but when they
see it, they're like, oh, you're alone. It's like we
were talking about with the with the uh, Trump didn't
get shot thing or it's all staged, the fake bullet
or whatever you want to call that theory, a relatively
normal person and then all of a sudden they're like, you know,
he was never shot. It was Hollywood blood exploding capsules,
(15:03):
and you're like, I'm sorry, what what are we doing here?
Speaker 1 (15:07):
Maybe this is Stephen A. Smith a little conspiracy. I
don't know.
Speaker 2 (15:12):
I do know, like like the technical side of this.
I retweeted a little a little video, and you can
see these they weren't special glasses. There's invisible ink on
these cards, I mean, and they had the table that
they were gambling on is supposedly an X ray machine,
(15:35):
you know, not a regular one, but clearly I mean,
like the tech on that alone, so that when cards
are faced down, so if you're playing like Texas, hold
them you can see the you know, the river and
everything else. Plus you can I guess, read your opponent's cards,
or at least one of them if they stack them.
Speaker 3 (15:50):
I mean, after seeing all this, this is why I
watch the NFL and not the NBA.
Speaker 2 (15:55):
Well, well, we we can wonder.
Speaker 1 (16:01):
We can wonder as well.
Speaker 2 (16:05):
There's a lot of times when at players and coaches
do things then the referees do things to make you wonder.
I'm just saying, anyway, we'll get into more of this
coming up hang on a kc O Day radio program
and uh, all right, so we're gonna dive deeper throughout
the show into all this basketball insanity. I just went
(16:25):
there's one other thing that I did see yesterday and
I don't I don't understand it now, full disclosure, but
but I have been remarkably consistent on everything that I'm
about to tell you, Even before I was an endorser
for DraftKings, I do DraftKings spots and I hate but
even we were just talking about getting gambling in North Carolina.
(16:48):
The people out there who were like, see, this is
what the sports betting apps have wrought. No, in fact,
they're the victim. They're one of the victims here. So
that's that's a really bad take. That being said, I
have consistently had a problem with ESPN running.
Speaker 1 (17:07):
Their own sportsbook. And remember I said this when this
is all kicking off, that I'm like ESPN, and it's
because of ESPN's dual, the.
Speaker 2 (17:18):
Duality of what they do. They won They're they're a
news outlet, so there's that, and they are they are
the even though they're you know, as biased to the
left as any of them.
Speaker 1 (17:31):
They are a news outlet.
Speaker 2 (17:32):
But also they are usually and I think if you
added it in the totality, they are the largest financial
partner and have the most to lose when a game
is not going well right because then people turn it
off like Vikings fans did last night. And and so
(17:53):
they have an immense amount of ability to influence at
a fleets leagues games. They're you know, the broadcast partners.
It's you know, it's part of part of the larger
ABC networks. So there's the ABC portion of it and
the just the whole ESPN having a gambling site is
(18:17):
too big.
Speaker 1 (18:17):
Gamble on sports has always been weird to me and felt.
Speaker 2 (18:20):
Inappropriate for those reasons now because I have an objection
to sports gambling as long as you're being responsible about it. Look,
if if you're a degenerate, uh, you know, gambler, then
maybe you shouldn't gamble. If you're if you're somebody who
is you know, uh, bankrupting your family, then you shouldn't gamble,
and you should talk to somebody.
Speaker 1 (18:41):
It's like any other addiction. But you know, the the
the idea that sports gambling, uh you know, in this
scandal like this is only possible when you get into
the current form of it where it is legalized and
you know, has the digital platform. People have been sports
gambling forever is law, as long as sports has been around,
(19:06):
they've been gambling on it.
Speaker 2 (19:08):
So at least in this instance, it becomes immensely more
trackable as they're uh, you know, they're they're rigging this
player is going to go out and you know, bet
the unders. And then people go and they they lay
these bets, not with the mob. The mobs now the
one they used to be the ones taking the bets,
now they're the ones making the bets. And then they
(19:29):
go to these sports books and they get a bunch
of like straw betters who go and they all bet
the under on this guy's rebounds and then when he's
one shy of it, he fakes an ankle injury is
basically the allegation.
Speaker 1 (19:42):
So but yeah, I again I've.
Speaker 2 (19:45):
Been remarkably consistent on this, even though and again disclosure,
I you know, I do endorse one of the gambling sites,
but I don't have a problem with it. I think
it's like anything else. If you're an adult, make your
decisions with the government. The government doesn't need to between
me and another consenting party if I want to wager
ten dollars over whether Carson Wentz's head was going to
(20:05):
fall off last night because Kevin O'Connor was clearly mad
at him and keeping him in, so I didn't watch
most of the game.
Speaker 1 (20:13):
Here's what happened.
Speaker 2 (20:14):
I watched just enough to know I didn't want to
watch any more of this. I was feeling bad for Wentz, man.
Speaker 1 (20:21):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (20:24):
I as a human. I was feeling bad for that dude.
And then when I watched a little low Lights reel
this morning, and I'm glad I turned it off. But
I was really excited yesterday because I made that decision.
And then I just put on I flipped it over
to some little documentary.
Speaker 1 (20:42):
It didn't turn out to be AI slop.
Speaker 2 (20:45):
And I was able to drift off to sleep really
early last night, really early, which is not easy for me,
especially to it later in the week. And I don't
know why that is, but but I had an air
pod in one ear so I could hear what was
(21:05):
going on with the thing, you know, it's in the
year opposite with head on the pillow, fell asleep, and
my friggin phone rings, which I normally have silenced, and
it is silenced unless you have your AirPod connected via bluetooth.
At nine thirty eight last night, I want to be
(21:26):
abundantly clear, at what time this happened? Nine thirty eight.
Speaker 1 (21:36):
Nine eight.
Speaker 2 (21:37):
Yes, at nine thirty eight last night, my phone rings,
and because I have that one AirPod in, it rings
into my ear and it wakes me up, but it
doesn't wake me up fast enough to get the phone.
I the only thing I'm left with is staring at
the screen for about two seconds before I, you know,
my brain turns on and it says National Institute of
(21:59):
Health slash. That is a very disconcerting phone call to
get at that time of night. Now we get up
ridiculously early, So this is I'm angry, Like, how dare
the audacity?
Speaker 1 (22:16):
First? You know?
Speaker 2 (22:18):
The first thought actually is like if the CDC or
a nationalist who health is calling you it this night,
zombies or a friggin' wuhan wet market just crashed on
the street near my neighborhood.
Speaker 1 (22:28):
Okay? Is that wrong? Am I? Am? I? Panicky, get
so much food outside your Yeah, have some penguin right now?
Speaker 9 (22:36):
This?
Speaker 3 (22:36):
What do you dit that? In a bat?
Speaker 1 (22:38):
I think the the blend of flavors is so you
think the worst, wouldn't you ross if you saw this?
The you're thinking zombies right completely?
Speaker 3 (22:50):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (22:50):
Yeah, okay, so there's something horrific happening. So and then
my second thought is it's probably a scammer. But how
would they spoof the ID? Which I know is possible,
but so I but now I'm up, you sons of
I'm up. And all of a sudden, then after you know,
the the voicemail populates and I have an iPhone so
(23:13):
you can actually you get the it'll write it all
out for you. And so I'm reading that and then
I go to listen to it, and then I quick
I checked the numbers because they in the thing, they
give you one number, and then there's the number that
they called on and in the here's here's what they
said in the voicemail. This is And I don't know
(23:35):
if this happened to anyone. I'm just so I'm so
upset at this, and I'll explain why clearly. But again,
you think the worst because that's who's calling you. It
says this calls on behalf of the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention. We're conducting a nationwide survey about vaccinations
for COVID and other diseases affecting adults, teens, and children.
(24:00):
You need to complete the survey. Please call blah blah
blah or text this number back with the word web
and then we'll send you a link. We will call
you again to get you know, it's really long, but
they're going to follow up and all that stuff. And
I'm like, absolutely not, absolute fricolutely not. So I now
I'm on content right because I'm up. I was going
(24:21):
to get an amazing night of sleep. And now you
I thought the government was shut down, by the way,
but the audacity to be calling people at damn near
ten o'clock eastern to ask about private medical information. You
gain a function funding get out of jail free because
(24:44):
you know, Joe Biden pieces of garbage. And I know
it's not the woman I talked to, and I did
not yell at her or that at first, and I
actually never yelled at her, but I called her. I
called them back because now again I'm going to make
content out of this. I know I'm going to talk
about this in the morning because I'm so irate, but.
Speaker 1 (25:04):
I get I called back. She answers, not a robot,
it's an actual woman. She answers. And again, I've checked.
Speaker 2 (25:09):
These numbers, these these are, this is and I've seen
and there's actual stories about this thing that they're doing
this survey. And I'm just like, excuse me you, And
I explained to her, like I get up at oh
dark thirty, like a number that you can't even fathom.
Speaker 1 (25:27):
And you're calling me at almost ten o'clock. What do you?
Speaker 2 (25:31):
I said, what are you doing? She goes, sir, We're
doing a survey blah blah blah. And I'm like, no,
absolutely not. Why are you doing this? She goes, sir,
this is when we work. Those were her exact words,
and I lost it. I'm like, you need to work
on removing me. You guys, do not call me anymore.
How dare you bother people at this time of night?
(25:51):
And she goes, I'll remove you. And then just I
was hanging up at that time and I know it's
a little thing, and he'd be like, ah, you're being
a jerk. No, no, no, no, I refuse to give
an inch to the people who single handedly I should
say single handedly because it took a lot of useful idiots.
But the people who led the charge to decimate people's
(26:13):
businesses that were friends of mine, people's livelihoods, people's people
didn't get to hug their loved ones because you all
were so smart and you knew that COVID can't affect
you if you're you know, six, It'll only get you
if you're six feet tall where it hangs in the air.
But as soon as you are only three feet tall
because you're sitting in a booth, no more COVID. Right,
this kind of garbage, I'm not giving you an inch,
(26:35):
and I'll be damned if I'm paying you to harass
me at ten o'clock at night when I get up
at an hour that woman's probably didn't know existed because
we work.
Speaker 1 (26:46):
Now.
Speaker 2 (26:47):
I understand why you work in the evening. I get
that probably a better chance to get a hold of people.
But you can also delineate this as a cell phone
versus a landline. Ah So, no wuhan wet market, no zombies,
just just just the the audacity to go ahead and
do something like that. I'm still angry about it, and
(27:11):
it put me in a bad mood, and it ruined
your show for you.
Speaker 1 (27:14):
I mean, now you get grouchy cakes.
Speaker 3 (27:15):
I'd prefer maybe zombies over government and competency and competency.
Speaker 2 (27:19):
Yeah, hey, remember us, remember us who ruined everything?
Speaker 9 (27:24):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (27:24):
Can we talk about that and maybe get some other
info off.
Speaker 3 (27:27):
One one's an actual danger, the others just you know, yeah,
constant annoyance.
Speaker 2 (27:32):
But the zombies are not a danger compared to these people.
Zombies are. Are they fast zombies or slow zombies?
Speaker 3 (27:38):
That's a good point. Yeah, I mean, if I had
a pick, GID go slow.
Speaker 2 (27:41):
If it slows zombies versus National Institute of Health, I'm
slow zombies all day. Yes, now you ruined it. And
then the other thought is Mandy Cohen did this to me?
But that's why that crossed my mind. But I clearly
I don't think it was Mandy coe on the phone,
the woman, But actually I would respect that as a troll.
Speaker 3 (28:05):
If it was literally her. You just hear her off
to the side laughing. Yeah, I'd be.
Speaker 1 (28:09):
Like, all right, all right, well played, well played. So
they did not They'll not be getting into my details
and and frankly, uh dude, iag I tagged a couple
of the members of Congress should come on the show
just in case they need something to make hey about
this week, Like I can't. My taxpayer dollars are doing this.
(28:33):
You need to get a hold of your boys over there.
Speaker 2 (28:35):
This is this is absolutely, absolutely absurd. And yes, I
understand that my situation's probably unique, but it's not totally unique.
And a lot of you who are listening right now
get a really early and also don't want to get
cold called by Fauci's people. I know I didn't six
forty seven hang up phone number eight eight eight nine
(28:58):
three four seven eight seven and four you want to
be on the show. That's actually a whole lot of
roster screw with the phone. Are we good with the phones?
Speaker 4 (29:09):
Now?
Speaker 2 (29:09):
Before I encourage people to call, I don't want people
wasting their time because our computer is being a jerk. No, okay,
all right, if you got if you want to weigh
in on any of the stuff I talked about, give
it a few minutes.
Speaker 1 (29:20):
Hopefully he's having to restart the computer.
Speaker 2 (29:24):
Okay, Oh dude, we got so much stuff to get
into today, and I and again I'm sorry, I'm a
little grouchy this morning. But that's CDC, that National Institute
of Health calling people to ask private medical information. Right
when you know a lot of people are already asleep,
(29:46):
especially old people like me. You have to get up early.
Absolutely not so all right? So the Senate, the main
Senate candidate, here we go. All right, So this is
the guy who had the not something that looked like
a Nazi tattoo. He had the actual Nazi tattoo, the
(30:07):
skull and crossbones, the specific.
Speaker 1 (30:08):
One that he would have seen everywhere. Ross. I don't
know if you saw it.
Speaker 2 (30:12):
Somebody put together a slide show of like entertainment over
the last fifteen years, and there's like twenty examples of
where people are portraying Nazis and they have that symbol
on their hat. Not just inglorious bastards, but a bunch, right,
So he covered it up. He put a weird looking
wolf for whatever that's supposed to be. And then when
(30:36):
he was showing off the wolf tattoo, they took what
wider shots of his body and he has a bunch
of tattoos. The guy was a marine, that's not unusual,
and he's got another tattoo, and whereas the first one
was absolutely positively the thing, this one, if it was
the only one we were talking about, is one of those.
Speaker 1 (30:58):
Well it comes down to text.
Speaker 2 (31:01):
Maybe he has on his body tattooed he's got nineteen nineteen.
Now are there valid reasons you would tat you could
tattoo that on your body? Absolutely right, and I would
hold that out. But we're in the world of politics,
and in the world of politics it doesn't matter, right
(31:23):
because much like eighty eight. Do you remember when the
former assistant FBI director was on MSNBC implying that Trump
ordering flags at half mass for eight days, and then
there was another eight somehow associated with it. I think
it was on the eighth with secret code for him
saying Hyle Hitler, which is what the eight to eight
reference is supposed to be. Well, nineteen the nineteenth letter
(31:46):
of the alphabet is an S, and yes, so that
is utilized in some instances to be code for SS.
Speaker 1 (32:01):
That's two. I don't I mean, is it? Are we
on a third strike rule here? I don't know. I
don't know how this is supposed to work.
Speaker 2 (32:11):
How how are and then they did polling not after
this this broke. But now and by the way, he's
also he is not a fan of the gay community,
or wasn't with a bunch of Reddit posts that he did.
Speaker 1 (32:24):
Those came out.
Speaker 2 (32:26):
And and like he's he's polling sixty percent in his primary.
And just so you know, it's not like the other
person's at forty percent. His next competitors in the mid twenties.
There's like eight people in this primary. He maintained sixty percent,
and he was already or I guess he was at
sixty or is it fifty eight? This is post Nazi
(32:51):
tattoo and now you have another one that's an SS
syndicator in some circles. I don't ever, I don't ever
want to hear a single Democrat called Trump a Nazi again.
Speaker 1 (33:06):
I just can't, man, I just.
Speaker 2 (33:09):
Like, look at, look at what's Look at what's running
in this race on the Democrat ticket right now? Whoopsie
twice Nazi tattoo, Guy Mandami with all his great ideas
and uh uh Jay Jones in Virginia.
Speaker 1 (33:26):
What are we doing?
Speaker 2 (33:30):
What I mean, can you imagine the looked around having
these three with ours after their name, What the news
cycle would look like? Plus Trump is demolitioning the White House.
Oh oh, and more on that too, by the way,
So hang on, we'll be back.

This holiday season, the Tunnel to Towers Foundation is delivering
on its promise to do good and never forget the
sacrifices of America's greatest heroes. During their annual Season of Hope.
Between Thanksgiving and Christmas, the Foundation is delivering mortgage free
homes to dozens of America's most catastrophically injured heroes and
gold star.
Speaker 2 (34:35):
And insane NBA story which isn't just an NBA story, clearly,
it's you got the mob in this thing. Guys like
Tommy the juice. Now, what do they mean juice? Is
it like It's always interesting to see how these cats
get their names. So Mobster Tommy the Juice, who's either
(34:58):
got the juice or he juice?
Speaker 1 (35:00):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (35:02):
He's wrapped up in this. Oh and and this is
the headline. Reputed mobster Tommy Juice, once charged with beating
porn star girlfriend arrested as part of the NBA gambling bust.
I have a question this is I don't know why.
This is a weird thing that popped into my head.
If this dude is a bad you know, made man mobster,
(35:24):
his girlfriend's a porn star. If you're a male porn
actor who is contracted to do a scene with a
made mob man's girlfriend, you're not doing that right. I'm
just yeah, this guy could fly off the hand a
lot of.
Speaker 3 (35:44):
Like the way I remember, Like, you know how perilous
it was for Vincent Vega to take out Marcellus Wallace's wife.
I mean that was dangerous.
Speaker 1 (35:54):
Let alone, that was dangerous.
Speaker 3 (35:55):
Let alone make a film with her.
Speaker 1 (35:57):
Yeah, and a film like this, like yeah, I wouldn't.
Speaker 2 (36:01):
I'd be like, nah, I'm good, They's go find some
other weird thing to do. I'm not hooking up with
the mobster's sports star girlfriend because she has an action
an active porn star.
Speaker 1 (36:13):
Ah uh yeah, so they arrested like thirty people with
this uh star.
Speaker 2 (36:21):
Oh, they got somever naughty athletics and the star of
Housewives Need Cash five. I thought I thought that at
that they had really by the fifth one, Ross, I mean,
at that point, you're just burning down the franchise. But
Fast and Furious pulled it off. So I don't know,
but I think Housewives Need Cash six.
Speaker 3 (36:43):
That would be a bridge to for all these franchises.
They just end up going to the moon or space.
You know, that's how you know. That's like the fawns
jumping the shark moment for most friends.
Speaker 2 (36:51):
Yeah, yeah, I think pretty much the only one you
know clearly mission impossible.
Speaker 1 (36:56):
I think did a good job of it.
Speaker 3 (36:58):
Have you seen the least no, at least mission impossible.
It would make sense in some way to go into
outer space. But when you have like Vin Diesel and
is Honda whatever it is, Honda Accord or whatever, like
how dare you flying up into space? What are we
doing here? And then how did they get back to Earth?
Speaker 2 (37:18):
Like well, okay, so that's your problem, not Sandra Bullock
falling from space and landing on Earth and walking away.
Speaker 3 (37:28):
Come on, I mean she's trained, she's she's like Katie Perry.
You know she's ready to go.
Speaker 1 (37:32):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (37:34):
They put you through that training in space camp.
Speaker 2 (37:36):
For gravity, Yeah, to do the gravity thing. Okay, I
was unaware your wife went, so I wouldn't know she
would know.
Speaker 3 (37:42):
She's trying. She's trying. Marky's trying to win the space
Camp trip because McDonald's is doing the monopoly again and
he brought that back. And the one thing she wants
is the space Camp trip. She's really she really wants
that trip. She's like another eg McMuffin. I wanted the
space Camp trip for her, for somebody, for her. She
wants to go.
Speaker 1 (38:02):
She already went.
Speaker 3 (38:03):
She wants to go again.
Speaker 1 (38:04):
Well, but if they won, wouldn't you want to go?
Wouldn't that be the nice thing?
Speaker 9 (38:08):
No?
Speaker 1 (38:08):
I don't want to go. Oh you don't want to
get in the anything? Did you want to when you
were a kid?
Speaker 3 (38:16):
Not really?
Speaker 9 (38:17):
Wow?
Speaker 2 (38:18):
Man, I love that commercial and they would beat you
over the head with that commercial during Saturday morning cartoons too.
Parents probably hated it because yeah, they had different tiers too.
We've gone over this before. In the show, they had
different tiers for a space Kim. They poverty tier and
then like you know you're in space yeah.
Speaker 1 (38:36):
Billionaire's kid.
Speaker 2 (38:37):
Yeah, all right, well maybe maybe if she goes to
cat you can go on the New Titanic sub.
Speaker 1 (38:44):
That'd be fun.
Speaker 3 (38:44):
Huh oh really, what controller does it use?
Speaker 1 (38:48):
The Wii?
Speaker 3 (38:48):
Ah, that sounds good, that sounds safe.
Speaker 2 (38:50):
Yeah, yeah, you want to use the Wii controller so
it flies out of your hand and the sub crashes
the X ray tables in this thing.
Speaker 1 (38:59):
That sheer. I mean the amount of money that was
involved with this. Uh so gambling.
Speaker 2 (39:04):
They had a lot of a lot of gambling related
discussions in the news.
Speaker 1 (39:10):
And then I saw this story.
Speaker 2 (39:16):
And uh it's it's written by somebody over wired. They're
clearly very offended by this. And here's the headline. Men
are betting on w NBA players menstrual cycles. And I
and I'm gonna I'm gonna tell you something. And I
know you're not gonna want to hear this, but it's true.
(39:39):
That might be useful. I'm sorry, that might be useful.
And and and by the way, if you think it
is a violation of their personhood, welcome to celebrity, okay,
and welcome to people that get away from the women's thing.
Go go back to any of the male sports. People
(40:01):
looking for an edge, people using things that have nothing
to do necessarily with your athletic performance, but rather how
you're feeling. Excuse me, see right now, you bet against me,
so I'm coughing how you're feeling.
Speaker 6 (40:19):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (40:19):
If a player, I know I know people who have
factored in because there was a domestic disturbance at an
athlete's house the night before an NFL game, and it
and in the news. In the news article it said
the police are there to like three in the morning,
they didn't arrest anybody, and that the discussion that I
(40:39):
had in this we're having with this person is I bet.
Speaker 1 (40:42):
That guy is going to be dead tired. Bet against him.
Speaker 2 (40:47):
And you know, whether that sound logic or not. People
look for an angle.
Speaker 1 (40:51):
People go and even if you don't gamble, if you
do fantasy football, right, I'll give you something else that's
more common that people will factor in the weather. The weather.
Speaker 2 (41:02):
If you're going to go start a quarterback and you
know it's going to be snowing like a bat out
of hell or raining to beat Hell, you might and
you have another available quarterback, you might consider swapping quarterbacks
because you know it's going to be a factor.
Speaker 1 (41:20):
So the idea that somebody.
Speaker 2 (41:23):
I don't know how they came about the information, Hell,
maybe they posted something on social media feeling bloated whatever,
that somebody would then factor that in does not surprise
me at all. You can be as offended as you want.
Speaker 3 (41:36):
I remember when people were betting when like Tyreek's Hill
house was bet like burning down. Yes, like he's not
going to play well his house is burned down.
Speaker 1 (41:43):
Would you No?
Speaker 3 (41:45):
I would not.
Speaker 2 (41:45):
Would you be sitting here on your A game this
morning if your house burned down?
Speaker 3 (41:48):
I want to but I think, but I think he
did go off for like hundreds of yards in the.
Speaker 1 (41:52):
Next Again, I'm not saying that it's accurate, right right,
right right.
Speaker 2 (41:56):
I would argue that this is more This would probably
be more accurate because then you're dealing with dehydration and
stuff like that, and dehydration is a factor. Tiger Woods
has a line he says, if you're thirsty, you're already dehydrated,
or something something along those lines. Or if you're thirsty,
it's already too late, because they were asking him why
because he drinks a lot of water when he's playing
around a golf and you know, dehydration affects the muscles,
(42:20):
it affects your ability to do things, all of these things.
I'm not surprised that gamblers just to get an edge
to make a little more money are going to factor in.
And if you're going to be offended by it, like
I you know, somebody's getting a divorce, you may factor
that in, and people, you know, you can judge on
(42:40):
that all day, but I'm going to tell you people
are going to do it. And it's not without some
mic you know, this micron of possible merit that you're
looking for an out because at the end of the day,
it's an outside health issue.
Speaker 3 (42:56):
It just is.
Speaker 1 (42:57):
It's just the reality.
Speaker 2 (42:58):
It's a It's something that if somebody's got a cold,
unless it's Michael Jordan, you know, if he's got the flu,
I go with the over as we as we come
to find out, that's not usually the case. So I
saw this story right in the middle of all that
other stuff, and I'm like, you could be as offended
as you want.
Speaker 1 (43:19):
I actually understand the thinking.
Speaker 2 (43:21):
I don't know that it's it's correct or logical, but
it's it's an interesting hypothesis. And then and then they
go and I guess they went into some of these
chat rooms and people were describing that they do it,
and the guy was so offended he wrote an article.
But hey, what are you gonna do? Seven eighteen? Hang on, Oh,
(43:41):
we have somebody from the CDC.
Speaker 1 (43:43):
Peggy, what's up? How are you doing this morning?
Speaker 4 (43:46):
I'm good? Yeah, this is Peggy. I wanted to follow
up on a call that was made to you last evening.
I just wanted to let you know Mary was calling
you from the San Francisco office, and you know, she
thought she was calling you time. We really like to apologize,
so we'd like to finish up with our questions we
asked you on COVID.
Speaker 2 (44:08):
Well, I will say that the call came from a
Los Angeles number and it was the Los Angeles office,
so you're not far off. Person who's not Peggy?
Speaker 4 (44:20):
I wanted to talk to you about this gamble and stuff?
Speaker 1 (44:23):
Yeah, how many times why didn't you take down the hub?
Speaker 4 (44:28):
Look at how many times was Ross two things? How
many times was Ross right about the fixers? And a
lot of these games, right, and then when you look
at like basketball, well basketball should of course. Look now,
in baseball, how many times do they go to the
you know, the best to be out of five, to
the five games World series go all the way to.
Speaker 1 (44:49):
Seven's all rigged.
Speaker 4 (44:52):
It's all rigged. Can you tell me a sport that's
that's legit?
Speaker 2 (44:55):
Well, you know, I I can tell you, I can
tell I'll tell you the most rigged game in the
NFL where they they got people to take a lot
of endgame bets because the team was down twenty eight
to three, and then they rigged him.
Speaker 4 (45:11):
Yeah, so I'm telling he rush, you know, rush, He's
got to do his Jamaican voice and get back out there.
Speaker 3 (45:18):
And you know, Paul's downplaying his role in this investigation.
Speaker 6 (45:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (45:22):
We saw him for months sitting at the end of
the Trailblazers bench in Portland. Yeah, a Trailblazers jersey. You
didn't wonder why he was there, that.
Speaker 2 (45:29):
Was I just as soon as the mob was involved,
he was getting paid. So all right, all right, Paul,
get out of here, get out here with that Jamal.
Speaker 1 (45:37):
I got like two minutes. What's up?
Speaker 12 (45:40):
All right, Casey?
Speaker 9 (45:41):
Good?
Speaker 12 (45:41):
Morning, Casey. What you have to understand, Kate Pom stephen
A Smith tate was because white folk quoted him about
Jazzmine Clock And now what you have to I don't
know if you remember last weekend a few weeks ago,
Stephen A. Smith called out Jasmine Clockey, are not doing
worked as a congresswoman for her PRETENTI well she was
(46:05):
on well Jesse Waters played her segment and he said,
Steve Stephen ain't getting all right.
Speaker 9 (46:13):
You don't do that.
Speaker 12 (46:14):
Till black ripples to the black community and the Higgors
to go with our community. You can't have white oh
quote and you dang sure can't make sure you know
you pulled the white Look how many people ain't got
good for the same reason. So when they were criticizing
stephen A. Smith and saw him talking about a britting
them down, you should have saw the attack against Stephen
(46:37):
ain't slip. It was it was like what black, old
black observers go through. But he's not he he has
come Duran Findram. So he came up with this tape
after the day before he apologized the jazzler' Clark and
saying I need to take up for my sister I
need to take up for my beautiful black sister and
all this crist So he came with this tape to
(46:58):
show the black community, shit, I'm still black. That's why
he did this crazy outwaity just take that had nothing
to do with that. He had to because sharp call
jazz right.
Speaker 2 (47:15):
But he fed this narrative that I saw and I
saw other people with this narrative yesterday that Trump did
this because he wants to attack the blackest sport that's
out there, and and so people trying to take this
erace thing. And he didn't for a moment stop to think. No,
I've never heard of an eight month investigation that included
the mob. The ca c O Day radio program. Let
(47:35):
me give you another example of going back to the
w NBA story. So Ross was just telling me off
the air, he was watching a video of Connor McGregor
and Hill tell him what you tell him?
Speaker 1 (47:45):
What the you know?
Speaker 3 (47:46):
For a while now, he's been looking like, you know,
not healthy, and he's been looking like a crackhead to
be honest, like you know, he's rambling and does and
there's a.
Speaker 2 (47:54):
Lot of stories like partying stories, yea and other stuff
that continued to permeate.
Speaker 3 (48:01):
Yeah, well, he made the announcement. He was sitting. I
don't know where he is, but he looks fantastic. He
looks healthy. He looks better than I've seen him in years.
And he said that he's been on a spiritual journey.
He's given up everything he was doing. He's turned himself
over to God. He's been reading the Bible and he
said it's transformed his life. And dude, dude looks healthy,
Dude looks solid. Dude is talking coherently. So that's amazing.
Speaker 2 (48:23):
And and why here's why I'm tying this to the
WNBA story. So that is something if because I know
they were talking about having McGregor do another fight. I
can't remember what the circumstances were, because I thought he
had I thought he was done with that because he
you know, he's making so much money off that. The bourbon,
the whiskey, the whiskey he h he created is everywhere,
(48:45):
so he's got to be.
Speaker 1 (48:46):
Killing it on that.
Speaker 2 (48:48):
That is something that if I was gonna bet econom
McGregor fight absolutely might influence in me, right, because it's
all these little intangible things, these other little things, because
that that screams to me, that is somebody who is focused.
He's probably a lot healthier because he's he's probably not
drinking and he's sure not doing drugs or anything. So
(49:08):
then you look at it and you're like, that might
that might be a guy who's so focused he comes
back and overperforms. And that's that's the kind of stuff
that people who are going to bet on stuff might
look at. So again, be all be offended as you want,
but uh uh no, all right to this story out
of India. I'm sorry, and nobody got hurt, so I
(49:29):
can laugh. But the imagery is because the headline doesn't
do a justice. All right, Indian president's helicopter gets stuck
in freshly poored concrete.
Speaker 1 (49:41):
So here's here's what happened.
Speaker 2 (49:44):
The now Mody you if you think in Modi Mody
is the prime minister, the one that you see visiting
with Trump. They have a president over in India too.
His name is Drawpati moumore mermou Ah. Isn't that the
thing from Doctor Strange the monster at the end.
Speaker 1 (50:06):
No, that's something different anyway.
Speaker 2 (50:08):
So this guy, he gets to the presidential helicopter and
goes to a village called Pramendum, which is a small village,
and to I thought this was back where the thing
normally is. So this village, to prepare for the president's
arrival for the visit, had to pour a helicopter pad
(50:32):
because they have one, and apparently somebody thought, hey, why
don't we do it? I don't know, the same day
or the night of the day before. So when they
landed the helicopter, the concrete wasn't set and so it
stuck in there. And what is so crazy about this picture?
(50:54):
And we'll ross gonna tweet a link to the story
that helicopter looks like something they found crash in a
jungle post Vietnam.
Speaker 1 (51:02):
It's an MI eight.
Speaker 2 (51:03):
If people know anything about helicopters, which is a nineteen
was a Russian helicopter from the sixties.
Speaker 1 (51:11):
Late sixties.
Speaker 2 (51:13):
And it looks like it looks like it should be
blasting fortunate sun or fly to the valkyries and you know,
pumping rounds into rice paddies.
Speaker 1 (51:23):
It's like Marine won It's not.
Speaker 2 (51:27):
That's And the other funniest part is so it lands
in the concrete. Clearly they realize that's a problem pretty quick,
and then there's like ten people trying to push it.
Speaker 1 (51:44):
Out of the concrete, which did not work.
Speaker 2 (51:48):
Why because it's a giant helicopter stuck in af set concrete.
I don't know, might still be there. I'm sure they
probably removed it by now.
Speaker 1 (52:00):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (52:00):
According to the local media, the helipad had they had
waited to prepare it until overnight. Concrete a reportedly been
poured on the ground. Yeah, so they did it in
the middle of the night.
Speaker 1 (52:14):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (52:14):
I talk about procrastinating and then they land in this thing.
But yeah, the whole visual is just hilarious. Oh, Drew
Potti's a woman. Okay, I'm sorry. I didn't know. I
don't know my male versus female names there, So I
guess I should have picked up from the picture lower
(52:34):
down the article.
Speaker 3 (52:35):
Well, was the helicopter blairing fortunate son flying to the
valcol Okay, yeah, it's one of the two.
Speaker 2 (52:41):
Yeah, it's always yeah, wellether when you're that old, it
looks like the helicopter that Rambo defeated with a rock.
Speaker 3 (52:49):
Well, you said, what a forty years old? How old
was the thing?
Speaker 6 (52:52):
Sixty eight?
Speaker 1 (52:54):
Now the model is sixty eight.
Speaker 2 (52:56):
I'm sure they produced the model because they now were
they're now up to puduction of twenty four's.
Speaker 1 (53:01):
This is an Era twenty four.
Speaker 2 (53:03):
This is an eight just to give you a sense
of the that there's other models that are newer.
Speaker 1 (53:10):
But does that not look like a Vietnam era helicopter?
Speaker 9 (53:13):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (53:13):
It really does.
Speaker 2 (53:15):
And by the way, the reason they weren't able to
push the thing out using ten Indian dudes is because
it weighs and this is production weight. So this clearly
probably doesn't include fuel and anything else you're gonna throw
in there.
Speaker 1 (53:29):
It weighs fifteen tho pounds.
Speaker 3 (53:33):
You're not going to push that out of concret right,
it's stuck in concrete.
Speaker 2 (53:36):
You could get the ESPN's Strongest Man thing that used
to run back in the day with all the magnuses.
Speaker 1 (53:42):
I don't think those dudes could push it out of there,
but they're trying.
Speaker 3 (53:46):
Dude, I sent you the Connor video. You've really what
it looks like. I got the audio. Open the button part.
Listen to him and tell me he doesn't sound like
a different person, and he sounds like he's back to himself.
Speaker 1 (53:56):
Any do we have any Connor audio hanging out in
the system anywhere?
Speaker 3 (54:00):
I think we just have the song.
Speaker 1 (54:02):
Oh okay, all right, all right, yeah, let me pop
over to this. All right, here we go. I am
not here just by a chance.
Speaker 13 (54:10):
There is a higher power, God that dictates my journey
and all of our journeys.
Speaker 14 (54:18):
And I lived my life by God's word.
Speaker 13 (54:21):
And since that, since around that time that you mentioned
at the last event, I've engaged on a spiritual journey.
Speaker 1 (54:31):
And I've saved.
Speaker 13 (54:32):
I'm saved, I am healed.
Speaker 3 (54:34):
And on the back of that, on the back of that,
the world is in for a treat.
Speaker 1 (54:41):
The world is in for a treat.
Speaker 13 (54:43):
My competitive spark that was once in my heart is
now a roaring blaze.
Speaker 7 (54:52):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (54:53):
Yeah, it doesn't sound like the Connor of old. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (54:55):
Look like he's not rambling. He's not like you know,
he did the thing where he was like shaking his
hands would be shaken. Look at that photo, he looks
like he's like healthy.
Speaker 2 (55:04):
Well the video outside the bus man, Yeah, just losing
his mind. Yeah, yeah, no, he looks a lot better.
Remember wasn't he running for president too? Yeah Ireland, Ye,
so yeah, I might be inclined to overestimate what he's
going to be able to do in another fight. Doesn't
mean I'm right, doesn't mean I'm wrong, but it's something
(55:26):
that I don't really bet on boxing. I don't know
if you heard this ross there there have been some
people who say that sometimes boxing.
Speaker 1 (55:34):
Matches have been rigged. You ever heard this?
Speaker 2 (55:36):
No, I haven't really Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, but you
know that.
Speaker 1 (55:41):
Or sometimes people get knocked out with phantom punches.
Speaker 2 (55:45):
Things happen. It's a little Craig Cray but uh, all right, yeah,
I'm at the very least he looks.
Speaker 1 (55:54):
You're right. He visually looks a lot better. I mean
he looks.
Speaker 2 (56:00):
He looks absolutely jack too, so uh clearly, clearly along
his spiritual journey, he's still hitting the weight room. So
how old is Connor McGregor? Now, by the way, he's
got to be what around forty? Now that you can't
fight when you're forty, there's some decent MMA fighters that
fought very late into their careers.
Speaker 1 (56:20):
So we'll see. All right, does mister stage at Kredie?
Oh I hear the rambling in the background there he is.
What's going on, dude?
Speaker 7 (56:30):
How much you all right?
Speaker 1 (56:34):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (56:35):
I see or no, I was just asking about that,
but we'll last night.
Speaker 2 (56:40):
Well, I'm doing a lot better than our quarterback is
this morning, So now you get hurt.
Speaker 1 (56:45):
Did you watch it in the game?
Speaker 7 (56:47):
No, I just saw it. Watch Are you kidding me?
Speaker 1 (56:49):
He will? I never see? And and again I didn't
watch the whole thing.
Speaker 2 (56:52):
I turned it off very early and went to sleep
until somebody called me at like ten. Oh you know
who called me? Somebody from Rosana, well out of Atlanta.
Speaker 7 (57:06):
Oh, okay, CDC.
Speaker 1 (57:09):
And it really was the CDC calling me at ten.
Speaker 2 (57:11):
And you know when the CDC calls your phone at
ten o'clock, you think that the a wuhan wet market
truck just flipped out in front.
Speaker 1 (57:18):
Of your house, right, like, that's not gonna be good news.
Speaker 2 (57:21):
Yeah, they're doing a big polling on the vaccinations and they're,
you know, trying to map who's vaccinated who's not.
Speaker 1 (57:28):
They won a bunch of metal. I lost my crap
on them.
Speaker 2 (57:32):
How dare you call people at damn near It was
nine thirty eight?
Speaker 1 (57:37):
How dare you, Larry? That's not hilarious? And I'm paying
for them to harass me when I'm already asleep.
Speaker 2 (57:45):
Now I got to sleep early. You know, you know
how great that is? Doing what you yep, I was gonna.
I went to sleep.
Speaker 1 (57:51):
Probably an hour hour and a half earlier than I
would have. And then.
Speaker 15 (57:58):
Well, for rightly or wrongly, my phone is off at night. Okay,
let my wife handle the emergency.
Speaker 2 (58:05):
So no, But what happened was is, as I was
falling asleep, I had an air pod in my ear
and I was playing something because again I had clocked out. Normally,
I just before I go to sleep, I pull it,
pop it out there. And uh because even though the
phone is on silence, if you have that AirPod in,
it rings through the headphone, right, yeah.
Speaker 7 (58:28):
So you read them have it?
Speaker 2 (58:28):
Huh uh yeah, I'm just like, how like how friggin dairy?
Speaker 1 (58:33):
And it's like, aren't you guys? Shut down?
Speaker 2 (58:36):
And I swear the lady said, because I complain about
the time, she goes, well, this is when we work, sir,
and that spun me.
Speaker 1 (58:42):
I didn't yell at or anything.
Speaker 7 (58:45):
She gave me the old this is when we work
one huh.
Speaker 1 (58:47):
Yeah, yeah, so you know why that would have flipped
you out? Man? Uh huh, Like we get up in
an hour. You don't know exists ma'am.
Speaker 7 (58:56):
Exactly every day, but you get used to it. Right now.
I wouldn't trade it for anything in the world.
Speaker 1 (59:00):
Honestly. Wait, it's not when a lot happened.
Speaker 7 (59:04):
I believe it or not.
Speaker 15 (59:06):
Well, yeah, it's been a lot easier where now the
kids are kind of on their own.
Speaker 7 (59:11):
But I lion like it.
Speaker 15 (59:13):
I have no problem going to bed at seven, seven
thirty at night and getting up at three, three thirty
doesn't bother me one bit.
Speaker 2 (59:19):
Yeah, it'll matter tomorrow when I or tonight when I
call you to see if you're vacuum.
Speaker 7 (59:24):
Yeah, my phone will be off. You'll be talking to
the wife anyway. That's up, man, God, great weather Chili morning.
Speaker 15 (59:30):
Got some frost advisories across the area, the thirties to
near forty. The thirties try it in west even saw
some upper twenties and some of the highest peaks down
in the mountains. I'm betting around the triangles about FORTI
this afternoon, little mid sixties.
Speaker 7 (59:42):
Tomorrow the same. Plenty of sunshine.
Speaker 15 (59:45):
Tar heels in Virginia Tomorrow at noon, it's gonna be
a little chili probably still be in the fifties.
Speaker 7 (59:50):
A kickoff, So if you are moving into Chapel Hill.
Speaker 1 (59:53):
For that game, the players are gonna love it, man.
Speaker 15 (59:56):
Oh dude, it was. It was my favorite when it
was sunny. I actually liked that class and it was
in the fifties. That was a favorite time to play ball.
Speaker 7 (01:00:03):
I mean it was.
Speaker 15 (01:00:04):
I used to love it. I used to love it
when you had these cool fault days. And then Sunday
for the Panthers, partial sun, mid sixties again, so a
little more cloud and less sun. It'll probably feel a
little cooler than Saturday. Will I'm gonna take UCLA with
the twenty five and a half against Indiana.
Speaker 1 (01:00:22):
You can't everything's rigged so well, yeah, I know that,
but okay, and I was convinced last week Michigan State
was it Indiana?
Speaker 15 (01:00:30):
They played, they had a cover and they kicked like
the last second field goal, and so that won me
the week.
Speaker 1 (01:00:35):
So okay, well, yeah it worked out for me anyway.
I got I got a couple of bad beats last week,
so did you. Yeah, that's how it goes.
Speaker 2 (01:00:43):
And then they tried to basically kill the quarterback for
my team, although we got.
Speaker 9 (01:00:49):
Good.
Speaker 1 (01:00:49):
Which one? Which one is that?
Speaker 7 (01:00:52):
Take Culpepper, I'll.
Speaker 2 (01:00:55):
Take, Yeah, take Brad Johnson for retirement, all right, I'll
talk to you in an hour.
Speaker 1 (01:01:01):
Thank you sir. All Right, there you go, race stage.
Make it me.
Speaker 2 (01:01:04):
Feel not not any not any better?
Speaker 3 (01:01:07):
All right?
Speaker 1 (01:01:07):
See hang on, may do you want to hear the
most insane take of the ballroom freak out over at
the White House, then look no further than MSNBC and
Morning Joe, Morning Joe. Where holy cow? What is what
(01:01:29):
is it? Idiot's name?
Speaker 10 (01:01:30):
Do?
Speaker 9 (01:01:30):
Do?
Speaker 11 (01:01:31):
Do?
Speaker 3 (01:01:31):
It?
Speaker 1 (01:01:32):
Doesn't matter anyway. So here is the here's the hot take.
Speaker 2 (01:01:35):
It's not Joe, but here is the hot take on
what's really going on surrounding this ballroom.
Speaker 1 (01:01:42):
And this is terrifying.
Speaker 16 (01:01:46):
You know, do this with some sensitivity to the fact
that you're not a king. You know, you can't just
do what you want to do when you want to
do it. That'sn't had a less response. That's that's a
really not fair to adolescents, right, That's that's infantile. You know,
(01:02:06):
just to do it because you can is in some
ways a definition of why we had the American Revolution.
And I can give conservatives saying, oh, you know, construction
project leads to fears about democracy, you know, just take
a deep breath on that.
Speaker 1 (01:02:23):
It is a particular they think that because you're saying that.
Speaker 16 (01:02:27):
Kuler, the way the President's done this that reflects and
illuminates a universal And to go back to what you
were just saying a minute ago about the Senate more
and more. I don't know if anybody here agrees. I
miss John McCain.
Speaker 1 (01:02:45):
That's the last part too, mister Thumb's down. Okay.
Speaker 2 (01:02:49):
So they also it's insulting to the American Revolution, like
you know, the founding file just did it because they
could do it just to you know.
Speaker 1 (01:03:00):
As like a bet, like a drunk bet or something.
Speaker 2 (01:03:02):
I mean, what are you implying like there, there's there's
some other reasons, but in no way, shape or form,
is the the renovation of the East wing of the
White House the same as the motivation for the American Revolution.
Just I think they ran out of takes over there.
I don't know it's so bad. Well, we'll get into
(01:03:23):
one of this too. With Pete calendar coming up, let
me grab a quick phone call, carry what's going on?
Speaker 17 (01:03:28):
Hey, good morning? So to talk about the NFL thing.
One cool fact that I learned that blew my mind was,
you know, talking about sports betting with the NFL, does
it rig what they can rig it if they want to.
Whether or not they do, I don't know, but it's
because they're they're labeled as a entertainment company instead of
(01:03:49):
an actual sport. That is how they cannot be sued
for any kind of legality reasons for uh rigging games
or or how they could rig gains if they wanted
to do.
Speaker 1 (01:04:00):
I'm not a lawyer, so is that is that what
you've read.
Speaker 17 (01:04:02):
Or that's what I've read up on you and and
found out that there was actually a guy so I
can't remember what state or whatever he tried to sew them,
but he got thrown out because they're labeled as an
entertainment company as opposed to an act.
Speaker 2 (01:04:15):
That's maybe it's because they want to rig it, or
maybe because the lawyer figured out that that's your best
form of protection.
Speaker 12 (01:04:22):
Right right.
Speaker 17 (01:04:24):
The question about The Morning Joe. Aren't bite news stations
supposed to be held to accountability of you know, real
news and tell them the truth. But maybe they're they're
a cable network.
Speaker 1 (01:04:35):
Well, they're not labeled they are.
Speaker 17 (01:04:36):
Yes, they can say whatever.
Speaker 4 (01:04:37):
Oh I didn't know.
Speaker 1 (01:04:38):
If that was a plot to them, They will say whatever.
Speaker 2 (01:04:41):
They can't just be clear sir, and thank you very
much for the call. They can't just say whatever, Poor
Pete callan or and I, uh we just uh we
we got to talk about all the mad people. But
that's our job. It's what we do. Pete, how you
doing this morning?
Speaker 9 (01:04:54):
I think I'm okay?
Speaker 1 (01:04:56):
Are you can?
Speaker 2 (01:04:56):
I have a question before we get underway, because I
didn't realize I had to do this.
Speaker 1 (01:05:00):
Now, do you have any tattoos?
Speaker 9 (01:05:02):
I do not have any tattoos. I have a brand,
but I have no tattoos.
Speaker 1 (01:05:09):
When is the brand? Does it have.
Speaker 10 (01:05:13):
M?
Speaker 1 (01:05:14):
I was gonna say, does does it have any symbolism
of any sort? Le should know about her?
Speaker 18 (01:05:19):
No?
Speaker 9 (01:05:20):
It's just a fraternity brand.
Speaker 2 (01:05:22):
Okay, all right, all right, your fraternity didn't wasn't two
letters or two words that both start with S?
Speaker 12 (01:05:29):
Was it?
Speaker 9 (01:05:30):
No?
Speaker 6 (01:05:31):
No?
Speaker 9 (01:05:32):
All right, No they were Greek letters. Are the Greek Nazis?
Now though I don't, I've lost with practice.
Speaker 1 (01:05:39):
There's so many things that are Nazi. I'm going to
help you. I'm going to help you, Okay. The only
people could be Nazis are Republicans. That's what that makes sense.
That's the new rule.
Speaker 9 (01:05:50):
See that makes sense, Casey, because the other day, I
was trying to list all of the things that are Nazi,
and you know, like Donald Trump, everybody who voted for Trump,
everybody who works for Trump, anybody who works for the
government while Trump is president. The people that are, you know,
(01:06:10):
tearing down the East Wing that anybody knows.
Speaker 2 (01:06:15):
That's the British or something, right, because it's the kin
of the Revolutionary War.
Speaker 1 (01:06:20):
I was told we just played that audio, by the way.
Speaker 9 (01:06:23):
So yeah, So I was just listing all of these
different things that make people Nazis, like the Jews Nazis,
they're Nazis. And then but not nazi is having a
Nazi tattoo that's not apparently Nazi too. Oh did they
(01:06:43):
find a second.
Speaker 2 (01:06:44):
Yes, So when he was showing off his So this
is the thing. You and I have done this long
enough where most of the time when somebody's like accusing
Nazi symbolism, there's a lot of reach. Like the former
assistant director of the FBI on MSNBC the Trump wanted
the flag at half mass for eight days and that
would be done on the eighth, was Yle Hitler.
Speaker 9 (01:07:06):
Oh my gosh, that is so stupid, right, Well, that's
the OK sign. The remember the woman sitting behind the
lawyer sitting behind Brett Kavanaugh.
Speaker 2 (01:07:15):
Yes, yes, yes, or the or the Seapack stage which
was runs remember.
Speaker 9 (01:07:21):
Right, or the rally at Madison Square Garden, or Elon
Musk waving to the audience.
Speaker 1 (01:07:28):
The difference is this guy's tattoo. It was not similar.
Speaker 2 (01:07:32):
It's not like when Trump put that eagle logo out
and they're like, oh, it's got an eagle on it,
and only the.
Speaker 1 (01:07:37):
Germans use eagles. Right, This was the thing. It's not great,
and it's the thing, and it's the thing that I
saw a slide show where somebody put like fifteen actors
dressed as Nazis in movies like Inglorious Bastards and Schindler's List.
Speaker 2 (01:07:52):
And all of these, and they all have that exact logo.
It's unquestioned the same.
Speaker 9 (01:07:57):
So you know where that came from. You know where
the obtusation came from as to whether or not it
is a logo or not an actual Nazi insignia. It
came from Graham Plattner's mouth. He wrote that narrative, and
the Politico reporters quote unquote, along with the pod Save
(01:08:17):
America Bros. They just simply regurgitated his line. And in
the political piece, which I find to be the most
egregious because they were the ones that you know, sort
of helped to get out in front of the pr
damage control operation, they just use that narrative that it
resemble the Nazi symbol.
Speaker 1 (01:08:37):
Right, And I did see that.
Speaker 2 (01:08:38):
Yes, some say it resembles a Nazi yourself, right, Yeah,
we did that.
Speaker 1 (01:08:42):
That's the exact story we used.
Speaker 2 (01:08:43):
What's even crazier is the news outlet in Maine where
a lot of the stuff keeps emanating from didn't exist
until like six weeks ago and had like eight followers
or something. Right, So it's clearly clearly.
Speaker 1 (01:08:58):
It's some sort of opposition thing, which is why he's coming.
Speaker 9 (01:09:00):
From what's their name, the governor Mills Janet. Yeah, yeah,
as soon as he as soon as he gets into
the race, all this oppo research comes out, Like obviously
we know where this is coming from, because you know,
he's you know, surging in the polls among young stupid people. Uh,
and of course Nazis and communists, which like that's that
(01:09:23):
is something really.
Speaker 2 (01:09:24):
To a community. He just had all these things come out.
He did a rally yesterday in uh uh, I don't.
I can't remember the name of the place, oh Gunquit,
which is it's it's it's a destination that's kind of
the gay community of Maine, right, And he and everybody
packed it in. So but when they when he was
showing off his cover up tattoo, right, So he stands
(01:09:47):
outside all that, somebody notices on the on his side,
he has another tattoo and it says nineteen nineteen.
Speaker 9 (01:09:55):
With Bolshevik revolution.
Speaker 2 (01:09:57):
Well or more specifically, and this is documented, it's like
the number eighty eight because if eight is H is
the eighth letter.
Speaker 1 (01:10:06):
S is the nineteenth nineteenth letter?
Speaker 2 (01:10:10):
Yeah, so now could it not mean that? And he
have a plausible reasoning behind it. Maybe there's some sort
of military significance. I don't know.
Speaker 9 (01:10:18):
But the Ouatian tattoo artists, it is Ruatian tattooists.
Speaker 1 (01:10:23):
But it is a known representation within Rian and and
Nazi tattooing in prison tattoos, Like I did not know this, Yes,
so this guy should the other one.
Speaker 9 (01:10:35):
So are the Nazis just gonna take all of our numbers?
So we're not going to even be able to have
any numbers anymore.
Speaker 2 (01:10:41):
I also think all of this is so stupid that
we're not allowed to like we're we're allowed to interpret
tattoos if it's a if it's a you know, Pete
hagg Seth with the Jerusalem cross, the thing that Cope
adorns himself with, or well, but not if you're MS
thirteen or not right or or right guy who is
currently leading in the polls in the Fresh poll fifty
(01:11:04):
eight to twenty four percentage points in the Democrat primary
in Maine after the story came.
Speaker 9 (01:11:10):
Out, Yeah, well that's because he built up a lot
of grassroots support by training all of the ANTIFA, Black
Lives Matter protesters slash rioters.
Speaker 1 (01:11:21):
Yeah, passing along that military training.
Speaker 9 (01:11:23):
Yep, yeah, yeah, yeah. I do find it quite remarkable
that the people who have been telling us for the
last probably decade that they can hear all the dog whistles,
even though they're not the dog in that analogy, which
I've never quite understood either, But they know all the
dog whistles, They can detect all these things. They know
(01:11:44):
what people actually mean, yes, yeah, when they wave and
when they use a word and when they make an
okay symbol like they know what the meaning is. And
then you have somebody with the explicit logos, the insignias,
and now it's like, yeah, I really can't tell. I
don't know what that's about. Oh, he was just drunk
(01:12:05):
and he liked the skull and crossbones. And I think
really the most egregious part of the whole story is
the guy the video they put out of Platinir where
he's got his shirt off and everybody's like, oh, he's shirtless,
he's shirtless. No, the dude is in his underwear. Okay,
he took his pants off too at a wedding, Like what.
Speaker 2 (01:12:25):
Kind of a perk thing I thought it was. I
thought it was a party near a beach or something.
I saw the way somebody reported it. But you're right,
he didn't have pants on either.
Speaker 4 (01:12:33):
So yeah, he's.
Speaker 9 (01:12:34):
Running around in his I would say tidy whitey's, but
they're like the black box of briefs or whatever. And
so he's like he's he's running around and like, how
is this? Like I have never been in a party
where people just strip down naked like that or into
their underwear parties.
Speaker 1 (01:12:49):
Maybe so, maybe so?
Speaker 9 (01:12:52):
And also the guy was a Blackwater self described antifuss
super soldier. Yeah, like I'm old enough to remember when
Blackwater were Nazis, Like they were called the Nazis and
they were the mercenaries, and like everybody on the left
had these fever dreams in paranoia about the Blackwater operation
(01:13:12):
and this guy's a Blackwater guy, and now it's like, yes,
that's our guy. It's like it is indicative of the
Democrats need this attraction that they've got to try to
find these rural white dudes that are veterans and elevating
them and then just ignoring all of the violence, fantasy
(01:13:36):
fetish crab like Mo Davis, Colonel Mo Davis who ran
for Congress there North Carolina and all of his nasty
tweets where he's fantasizing about how he would like to
hurt people, and it's like, guys, there are other candidates
that you can find that.
Speaker 2 (01:13:52):
Are not this, you know, yeah, yeah, Memo was like
the OGJ Jones, right, And I just want to and
I know this is an exercise that is everyone does.
But can you imagine if in the next election cycle,
J Jones, this guy, and Mondamine all had ours after
their name, what the media would be.
Speaker 1 (01:14:10):
Doing right now?
Speaker 9 (01:14:11):
That's my favorite game.
Speaker 1 (01:14:12):
Oh, I love.
Speaker 9 (01:14:13):
Oh, I love playing this game. Imagine if a Republican
did it, because we all know what this would be everybody.
I mean, look, and here's the thing. God has a
sense of humor. I said this the other day. You know,
keeping some of these stories so tight together in a
news cycle, you not only have the j Jones stuff, right,
but then you have the the text messages from the
(01:14:34):
Young Republicans, which, aside from some people on you know
what is dubbed the Wolke Right, Everybody's like, no, that's unacceptable.
I know some of them were jokes and this and that,
but no, like, you guys are stupid for putting whatever
these things were into a group chat. You're leading a
political party, although it's the Young Republicans, but in New
(01:14:54):
York of all places, so you don't have any real power.
But like, that's unacceptable, and most people in the conservative
and Republican world said so right, and yet they helped
this up and run around then saying defender, disavow this.
Every single Republican in America needs to defend or disavow this.
And then on the heels of this, like not even
(01:15:16):
a week later, we get grand Platner's comments on Reddit,
and all of a sudden, it's like, no more to
defender disavowed. We're not going to play this game with
the Democrats, really is Yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:15:29):
I heard a reporter say yesterday it'll be up to
the people. All right, what an absolute comp out? Many,
I got two, I got things gonna get you. I
gotta tell you what happened to me last night though,
because you so it's uh so, I fell asleep really
early because the Vikings are trash. So I but I
made the mistakes. Even though I had my phone on silent,
I made the mistake. I had an air pod still
(01:15:49):
in because I like lie just clocked normally. I and
so as a result, but hang on.
Speaker 9 (01:15:56):
Hang on, I got a question. You're look, you've got
air pods in and you're watching a game. So you're
listening with something.
Speaker 2 (01:16:02):
No, no, no, I turned the game off on now
listening to like go to sleep stuff.
Speaker 9 (01:16:06):
So oh gotcha?
Speaker 1 (01:16:07):
Yeah yeah yeah all right, so yeah no, it was
like a documentary thing. Yeah yeah, all right.
Speaker 2 (01:16:13):
So so all of a sudden, at nine thirty eight Eastern,
I get my phone rings and it wakes me up.
Now I'm not quick enough to answer it, but I
see on the call on the screen there, it says
National Institute of Health CdCO. And the first thought is,
(01:16:34):
if the CDC's calling you at damn near ten o'clock
at night, a wuhan wet market has just flipped over
in a truck out in front of your house, right.
Speaker 1 (01:16:42):
Something bats, something bat's going on. And then the second
thought is it's got to be a scam. Right.
Speaker 2 (01:16:48):
So but now I'm up, and I'm very upset because
I got to sleep early, and you know how great
that is doing the you know, so, so I look
up the phone numbers and then message populates and says, hey,
this national in National Institute of Health CDC. We're doing
a national survey on vaccinations. They're trying to essentially, I guess,
(01:17:09):
create a map of whose vaxed, who's not where?
Speaker 1 (01:17:12):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (01:17:13):
And they're doing this. And then I looked it up online.
They are in fact doing that survey. I checked the numbers.
They are in fact from the CDC. So I called
them back and I think this woman goes right, woman
picks up hey, blah blah blah my name. She clearly
is either works for them or as contracted by them.
And they were doing the survey. And I didn't yell
at her, but I said, you were calling me twenty
(01:17:33):
minutes to ten, I get up at an hour you
don't know exists. I'd paraphrase, right, how dare you how?
And then I said, I thought you guys were shut down, and.
Speaker 9 (01:17:43):
That's what I was thinking. How would be running in
the survey?
Speaker 1 (01:17:46):
Well, I suspect to do the survey. It's not CDC.
Speaker 2 (01:17:49):
It's some contracted surveying center who's probably already been.
Speaker 1 (01:17:52):
Paid, so they're doing it. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:17:55):
But I just told her, I'm like, this is but
it's what she said to me. And she goes, said,
this is way too late. This is obscene. You should
be ashamed. She goes, well, this is when we work, sir.
And I had to get off the phone. Man had
to get off the phone. Oh so upset. But the
odds the audacity of these gain of function a holes
(01:18:16):
who just fundamentally destroyed lives because they knew, they knew
that COVID can only get you if you're standing up
and not sitting down, and you know, all the rest
of this garbage to then harass people at a time
when there's going to be a lot of people asleep
so that they can do a survey, just the audacity
of a pete.
Speaker 9 (01:18:37):
So like, I'm curious, do they think they're going to
get accurate numbers? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (01:18:44):
If it had been earlier, I just would have played
with them as you do with the polsters who called.
Speaker 9 (01:18:49):
But right, like, think about I mean, who, I know,
I'm going to be generalizing here a little bit, but
the truth is general. So the people that you call
and ask if they are vacinated, if they are anti
COVID vaccine, right, if they have a bit of a
bad taste in their mouth due to all of the
(01:19:09):
the COVID response and the lockdowns and the voritarian types
of tyranny that we saw across America. Do you think
that they're going to give you accurate answers? But do
you think they're going to participate at all? So like,
I'm curious, what is the purpose of this survey? And
then do you think you're actually going to get accurateated
(01:19:30):
do it?
Speaker 2 (01:19:30):
Maybe I should have done it just to see what
was on it for the research, but I was so
upset and then I couldn't get back to sleep for
like an hour.
Speaker 9 (01:19:37):
Oh dude, I would have told yeah, because like I
would have been like, yeah, I've had fourteen hundred boosters.
I get one a day and it's been four years.
Speaker 1 (01:19:47):
Yeah, so every day from.
Speaker 9 (01:19:50):
Right, I have a port, I actually have a port installed,
and they yeah, they just they just give me the
boost every day on.
Speaker 7 (01:19:57):
My way to work.
Speaker 3 (01:19:58):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:19:58):
Yeah, right, we got one minute. They rolled a real
reverend Barber out to scream in front of the Capitol.
You say, nothing he can do, though, I guess we're
going to go and wait for the lawsuits.
Speaker 17 (01:20:08):
Huh.
Speaker 9 (01:20:09):
Yes, Well, conveniently for the Democrats, they already had a
lawsuit filed and so they're just going to tack onto
that one, apparently, yeah, because they just are in a
perpetual state of law fair against our maps. This was
portended by Supreme Court Justice Sam Alito though this very
argument that the Democrats are making in this lawsuit about
the maps, which is Republicans said we didn't use racial data,
(01:20:32):
we just used partisan data, and the Democrats are like, yeah, yeah, yeah,
but look at the racial movement from these redrawing of
the lines. And what Alito had said was, well, when
you have a demographic like African American voters that vote
ninety percent for Democrats. You're not going to be able
to know because if you draw it based on partisan
law or partisan affiliation, it's going to look like racial Yeah,
(01:20:55):
it's going to look like racial data.
Speaker 1 (01:20:56):
It's a disparate impact argument.
Speaker 12 (01:20:58):
Just exactly.
Speaker 2 (01:21:00):
All right, Pete appreciator, we'll talk next week and we'll
be right back. Famously happy that I went to bed
early and dipped out of the game. I mean, the
phone call thing obviously irritated me. I had not seen this.
I saw I saw them making fun of our quarterback
for both smiling and for basically having an emotional breakdown.
(01:21:20):
And it's like whatever, But the thing that I saw
just a few moments ago during the break there, and
so we the kicker for the Vikings name is Will
Rikery and he has been money money and even with
the Vikings trouble.
Speaker 3 (01:21:36):
What's his name Riikert? Oh Reikert, Yeah, Will Reikert. Okay,
I was excited for nothing. Wait what did you think
that his name was? Will riker Oh?
Speaker 1 (01:21:48):
I thought you were making a Nazi reference?
Speaker 3 (01:21:50):
Was right?
Speaker 2 (01:21:50):
No, No, he's canceled now yeah, I'm like, wow, it's
okay now, Steve A. Nerdier And I thought okay, no,
I'm sorry. It was not richer right, kirt to all right,
but he's been money and even with the Vikings being
up and down, the guy's been If you got him
as their fantasy kicker, you're probably doing okay. He's only
missed one and the one he missed was when they
(01:22:13):
were playing the two weeks over in London and it
hit a cable. I know it hit a cable because
we all saw it hit a cable, because I don't
know if you know this when when they kicked the
field ross. You ever seen this where when they kick
it they have cameras pointing at the ball the whole time.
Speaker 1 (01:22:30):
So they can follow the flight of the ball.
Speaker 2 (01:22:32):
Yeah yeah, so then you have the video evidence of
it hitting it. No, the NFL I talked about the
sheer greed that was involved in trying to do all
the I understand they want to grow their brand around
the world, but they're doing it at the expense of
the fans, and as a Vikings fan where my team
had to go over there for.
Speaker 7 (01:22:49):
Two weeks two weeks.
Speaker 2 (01:22:52):
Uh it just after they forced the forced taxpayers build
the new stadium.
Speaker 1 (01:22:57):
Oh, it's just made me so mad.
Speaker 2 (01:22:59):
But then yesterday during the game, al Michael's calling it
and he mentioned the only kick that he has missed
it during the first time. The first field goaliekick was
the one in you know where hit the cable. The
NFL is so dishonestly trying to protect their brand that
they will not allow any objection to exist to playing
(01:23:20):
football games in far off countries. And I would understand too,
because you're you're you're basically retro fitting stadiums that don't
host you know, football games normally, not our version of football.
And you know, there might be some issues with how
they string cables, how they're constructed any and it's not
the first time a field goal has hit a wire.
(01:23:40):
But then this is what al Michaels said in the
middle of the broadcast. I I oh, and you can
tell he doesn't want to be saying it either field.
Speaker 18 (01:23:48):
Goal at touch. The league wants to take my lunch
away because I said before that Rockers only missed was
hitting up a wire in London. The league says, no, no,
he was an opticking I losion.
Speaker 7 (01:24:00):
Righter thinks anyway, you have.
Speaker 1 (01:24:02):
That's not what anybody who understands physics thinks.
Speaker 18 (01:24:05):
My mess twenty four six is a story.
Speaker 2 (01:24:10):
But like, unless you have unless the ball has a
remote control like little like throne motor in it, it
clearly hits something. It's not nat The ball doesn't naturally
turn like that. It's not the arc you see, even
as much as you can try to hook something. No,
it's an immediate, slight adjustment of the ball's direction.
Speaker 1 (01:24:31):
It also stops the ball from spinning as aggressively as
it was.
Speaker 2 (01:24:36):
And they're they just want to pretend it doesn't exist.
So yeah, you're right, ross, everything's rigged except wrestling, or
is wrestling rigged? Don't tell me wrestling's rigged?
Speaker 3 (01:24:44):
Oh no, well it depends. Sometimes you think it is
and then you go to Montreal and you're screwed over.
So I don't know. Still still on that, huh, But yeah,
I mean the NFL, right, it's a play is a play.
There's no call unless it's turned over by a phone
call coming from New York. And they don't want to
be responsible for the reason that something You know, that
(01:25:04):
something went.
Speaker 2 (01:25:05):
Wrong, Yeah, because a team, a team might complain about that,
a kicker might complain about that.
Speaker 3 (01:25:10):
There was a game. I don't remember the exact specifics,
but I remember it was like I think it was
Buffalo versus the Pats and mac Jones had an issue
with it where he threw a ball and it hit
a cord or a wire or something, and.
Speaker 1 (01:25:21):
It absolutely did I knew, I remembered something. Is that
the game?
Speaker 3 (01:25:25):
It was, yeah, I believe so, and they were like, nope,
never happened.
Speaker 2 (01:25:27):
It was the camera that that camera that you know
flies over right overhead.
Speaker 1 (01:25:32):
Of the field.
Speaker 2 (01:25:32):
It hit the side cable of one of those They're
supposed to have it elevated, I think, and they had
it too low. And again it is a problem. But
now it's an extra problem because it's a natural objection
you want to It's like it's like it's the essay
objection you have where you'd rather go you to other
your house? Do you feel comfortable in your own house?
(01:25:53):
Do you know what I'm saying? And then if you
have to go do something at somebody else's place, you're
less comfortable. That's the home and away, and now you
got to go do it in another country. And if
people feel that by going to that other country they
were put in a disadvantage, they're gonna be less inclined
to do it.
Speaker 1 (01:26:07):
So the NFL said, and they're going, oh, no, it
never happened, screw you. I wasn't even that mad that
it happened. I actually understood it.
Speaker 2 (01:26:16):
I'm like, these guys probably don't rig a lot of
these setups for NFL games.
Speaker 1 (01:26:21):
But it didn't matter in the in the end. But
still now we're gonna pretend it didn't happen. Screw that noise.
Speaker 2 (01:26:30):
So yesterday Trump was asked about the Narco boats, and
to say he wasn't mincing words would be a bit
of an understatement.
Speaker 6 (01:26:38):
And briefed them on the operation.
Speaker 3 (01:26:40):
No, we will go.
Speaker 6 (01:26:41):
You will go, and we will go.
Speaker 4 (01:26:43):
We will go.
Speaker 13 (01:26:43):
For them to have judge, I don't see they loss
and go and no reason not to. You know, they'll
always complain, oh, we should have gone. So we're gonna definitely,
I'd like to just tell you, let's go, we'll go.
We're gonna tell them what we're gonna do, and I
think they're gonna probably like it, except for the radical
left lunatics.
Speaker 10 (01:26:58):
And mister President, if you are declaring war against these cartels,
and Congress is likely to approve of that process, why
not just ask for a declaration of war.
Speaker 13 (01:27:09):
Well, I don't think we're gonna necessarily ask for a
declaration of war. I think we're just gonna kill people
that are bringing drugs into our country.
Speaker 6 (01:27:18):
Okay, we're going to kill them. You know they're going
to be like dead.
Speaker 1 (01:27:21):
Okay, one more time that lasts.
Speaker 13 (01:27:26):
Just gonna kill people that are bringing drugs into our country.
Speaker 6 (01:27:30):
Okay, we're going to kill them.
Speaker 1 (01:27:32):
You know they're going to be like dead.
Speaker 2 (01:27:34):
And this is the thing, obviously he's saying in the
in the very Trumpian way that he says things, but
to say that you're going to not do it and
then you're gonna go through Congress, where good luck with that.
They're not even open right now. Also, I don't know
that it's a formal declaration of war to a non
state entity, even the how that would work. And the
president is allowed to conduct the you know, limited military
(01:27:56):
operations like this, so not having it as a declaration
doesn't make sense.
Speaker 1 (01:28:02):
But the moment it changes, and.
Speaker 2 (01:28:04):
He's not sitting there telling you he's going to turn
you to mist the deterrent is removed. Oh oh, they're
not gonna they're gonna go to Congress. So for three
months they're not going to be out there. Uh you know,
lobb and missiles into our drug boats. You know how
many drug boats are gonna be uh buzzing around through there.
(01:28:25):
So uh, they may not like the way that he
said it, but he's probably not wrong in uh in
keeping up the strong man front, because that's what if
you're trend de Arragua.
Speaker 1 (01:28:38):
Or you're the the Narco.
Speaker 2 (01:28:40):
Kami's out of Columbia, which the president was. He was
on the with the Kami group there. That's where he
emerged from you.
Speaker 1 (01:28:50):
This is they strong men?
Speaker 2 (01:28:52):
Is is a thing, right, That's that's the only thing
that really terrifies them. I don't want I say respect
because but you know exactly what I mean. So if
he's sitting there, he's like, I'm gonna keep blowing up
your buddies. They're going to pay attention to that at
the very least. So I'm cool with it, no problem there.
(01:29:16):
All right, let me know when our boy is ready
and we'll go over to him.
Speaker 1 (01:29:20):
Ah look at that. How you doing, mister Stagic?
Speaker 7 (01:29:24):
How are you the NFL?
Speaker 2 (01:29:25):
I just found out the NFL's rewriting history, So I'm upset.
But they do now, So I don't know if you
saw when our team was forced to play in England,
or in England and Ireland, but in Europe for two weeks,
our kicker the only field goal.
Speaker 1 (01:29:37):
He missed is the one that hit that cable, right.
Speaker 2 (01:29:40):
And so yesterday this is while al Michaels had mentioned
that during Reiker's first kick, this is then what Michael
says during the second kick field.
Speaker 18 (01:29:49):
Goal to touch. The league wants to take my lunch
away because I have said before that Michael's only yus
was hitting up a wire in London. The league says, no, No,
it was an optical illusion.
Speaker 2 (01:30:03):
An optical illusion that had nine camera angles on it
that we could all see a ball redirect its spin
and direction in a moment. And they're gonna pretend it
didn't have You know why, because they were used to
allow any objection to exist to them moving as many
games overseas as possible.
Speaker 7 (01:30:20):
Right, pure They certainly weren't using the force, right, I mean.
Speaker 2 (01:30:24):
That's an option maybe a drone, motor drone or something.
Speaker 7 (01:30:28):
Yeah, it's I don't know.
Speaker 15 (01:30:30):
They just try to get a little too fancy, right,
I mean, don't they have a camera by now that's
got enough of a zoom lens where it doesn't have
to be that close on the field that love on
the field.
Speaker 1 (01:30:41):
I don't know, man, you would think I would think.
Speaker 15 (01:30:43):
They got billions and billions of dollars. I mean, I
got to well, they need trillions, trillions. It will be
the expense of these I got a question.
Speaker 2 (01:30:52):
I was listening to one of your recorded weathers here earlier,
and you see you very ominously said you're gonna love
this week.
Speaker 1 (01:30:59):
You're not gonna like next week? Is the world ending
the way you said it?
Speaker 15 (01:31:04):
Well, well, so we've been on this real great run, right,
it's been beautiful. Everybody's been like, oh, yeah, this is great.
Let's put aside the fire danger and the you know,
it's not worry too much about that, or the drought.
Speaker 7 (01:31:18):
You know, let's not worry about those. It's been great.
The fair has been going on.
Speaker 15 (01:31:21):
Next week does look like we'll have more days of
wet than dry. So that's kind of what I was
getting at. Starting probably a Monday, so you get in
a Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, there's a chance of rain
or showers each day. We'll see how strong this low
gets coming across the lower part of the southeastern US.
It's not Melissa, by the way, which you haven't really
(01:31:41):
talked about, but if you were planning on going to Jamaica,
he ain't. Unfortunately, it might be a Cat four storm
now it's a little sloppy, but hurricane hunters getting in there,
trying to organize and going to become a major hurricane.
But stay away from the US southeast coast as the
way it looks right now, so.
Speaker 6 (01:31:59):
Keep it up on that.
Speaker 15 (01:32:00):
But it is going to be a mess for on
parts of Haiti, maybe the Dominican Republic, but it looks
more like a Jamaica Cuba thing, and then southeastern Bahamas
before it pushes away, and you're gonna love the next
couple of days. Yeah, if you're heading out whatever, it is,
low mid sixties as we go through Sunday, a little
more cloud by Sunday this morning we've got some frost advisories.
Speaker 7 (01:32:22):
It's chili, but.
Speaker 15 (01:32:23):
The overnight lows of being the upper thirties to low
forties next few mornings, and then we'll start to see
those rain chances get in here by Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday,
Thursday of next week does look like at least some
rain at this point. Intensity coverage still a little bit
in question, but we'll get it and.
Speaker 7 (01:32:39):
We need it.
Speaker 1 (01:32:40):
Okay, Well, we'll figure it out on Monday. Talk to
you later.
Speaker 7 (01:32:42):
Thank you.
Speaker 2 (01:32:43):
Yeah, and we'll be right back with Denise Pellegrine. Bloomberg
Update with Denise Pellegreney, Denise, what's happening?
Speaker 19 (01:32:50):
Hey, Well, you know, investors are really casey this Friday,
keeping a very close high on what's happening with trade
issues because President Trump this morning raising the level of
trade tension with the US and Canada.
Speaker 14 (01:33:00):
Again.
Speaker 19 (01:33:01):
We have the President saying untrued social this morning that
Canada is charging US farmers as much as four hundred
percent in tariffs. That's after yesterday the President announced he
was terminating all trade talks with Canada because of that
ad you've probably been talking about, funded by the government
of Ontario and Canada using the voice of former President
Ronald Reagan, with Reagan defending free trade and criticizing tariffs,
(01:33:27):
calling them outdated and all kinds of things. President Trump
says that's not true. He says that Canada edited that
thing incorrectly, and so he's cutting.
Speaker 14 (01:33:35):
Off all contact with them.
Speaker 19 (01:33:38):
If you like to watch YouTube TV you risk losing
ESPN and ABC. A deal between the two companies expires
next week.
Speaker 14 (01:33:46):
They are in.
Speaker 19 (01:33:47):
Talks about rates for the programming a Disney wants to
raise prices for YouTube TV customers, and without an agreement,
Disney content will be removed from YouTube TV and if
it stays unavailable for a long time, be offered a
twenty dollars credit or something like that. Some goodness if
you're sitting on some crypto. Crypto markets have been volatile lately.
(01:34:07):
Now JP Morgan Chase plans to allow big clients to
use their holdings of bitcoin and ether as collateral for
loans by the end of the year, so that sort of,
you know, helps crypto become even more legitimate. It's been
a slow process, but that's a big deal right there.
And casey, have you been buying a lot of Gillette
(01:34:27):
razors or a secret deodorant lately?
Speaker 1 (01:34:30):
No? I have a beer and I don't wear women's.
Speaker 19 (01:34:33):
Deodorant, so ah, well, Procter and Gamble says, a lot
of people are buying this stuff, Gillett raisers, Maybe you
buy those. Company reporting a two percent jump in organic
revenue growth, revenue and earning surpassed expectations, they say led
by growth in the beauty and grooming categories. I was
wondering if people are maybe just stocking up knowing that
(01:34:53):
the prices on that stuff that they know they're going
to use.
Speaker 1 (01:34:56):
Always it's going to go up. That razors are going
to get expensive.
Speaker 14 (01:35:00):
I think they could triple in price.
Speaker 1 (01:35:03):
You can't afford them so well, that explains.
Speaker 2 (01:35:06):
Me, and I can't access them with the store anyway.
That's why I don't. I don't even they're locked up.
I was in a Walmart for thirty minutes one day.
I don't buy regular razors. I just use a quick
little clean up, you know, a little buzzer clipper, and
just keep the beard. I'm not waiting around at Walmart
to pay you thirty dollars for four razors.
Speaker 1 (01:35:26):
Nope.
Speaker 19 (01:35:26):
Yeah, I needed some pipe cleaners to just to clean something,
you know, this little small thing. I couldn't get the
pipe cleaners and couldn't find someone in the store. Pipe
cleaners cost a dollar, not even out well with tariffs.
Maybe they're three bucks now, but I guess I don't
know who knows.
Speaker 1 (01:35:45):
It's just all right.
Speaker 14 (01:35:46):
Yeah, stock futures are higher.
Speaker 19 (01:35:48):
We had lower than expected inflation numbers case he just out.
Speaker 14 (01:35:52):
So that's setting us up for Sea of green this Friday.
Speaker 2 (01:35:55):
Have a great weekend when you get all right, you two, Denise,
Thank you, Denise, Pelly Greeny there from Bloomberg News. So
if you remember earlier in the week the stories that
are coming out about Mangioni, the the you know Luigi there,
the healthcare led shooter dude about his little world tour
he took. So this guy went to Japan, in India
and Thailand, and we had a story the other day
(01:36:17):
when he was in Thailand he got the crap kicked
out of him by seven Thai lady boys, which and
now there's other crazy stuff coming out. By the way,
did we determine how many lady boys would take to
fight a gorilla? We were working on that off theear,
I think yesterday, and one of our listeners even asked
(01:36:38):
Groc and Groc couldn't figure it out. So now, in
addition to that, Mangioni is said to have had incidents
in both India and Japan, including in Japan where and
I am reading this verbatim, Mangioni allegedly procured the services
of prostitutes that were under the management of the yakuza,
(01:36:59):
and then at tem did to pay the prostitute with
premium porn star porn star Pokemon cards?
Speaker 1 (01:37:08):
Is that a thing?
Speaker 2 (01:37:10):
And also you're trying to rip off the yakuza, like
did this guy have a death wish? And then the
final thought is this ross? Correct me if I'm wrong?
Wasn't one of the things we learned about MANGIONI is
because of the injuries he suffered, it didn't work anymore,
you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (01:37:28):
Like back problems or something. Yeah, right, but yeah, and
he like spread down to you, correct he would he
had ed?
Speaker 2 (01:37:35):
What's this dude running around hanging out with prostitutes all
over the world for if it like, wouldn't that be
the most frustrating thing in the world. So I the
whole thing is crazy, man. But yeah, So don't try
to rip off the yakuza when procuring prostitution services, and
(01:37:56):
don't fight thy lady boys.
K c O Day Radio program.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
Uh, it is Friday, so we uh oh.
Speaker 1 (00:05):
I feel like we need that. It's just been a
weird week. And I gotta tell you, you know.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
I have to uh after after the show every day,
right after we're done, I have to record a promo, right,
so we get done with the show.
Speaker 1 (00:23):
Ross is like, all.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
Right, we're recording, let's go, and then I have to
think of something to tell you that it's uh that
we're gonna be talking about the next day, right, pretty
standard stuff. If I have a guess, that becomes easy.
If we have a big story where we're expecting an
update the next day, that becomes easy. But I, you know,
there's sometimes I gotta kinda kind of guess what you
(00:47):
know what, like what what? What did my decades of
experience tell me will likely be something we're gonna be
talking about tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
And I would not have.
Speaker 2 (00:59):
I would not even when I was recording the promo
right at the end of the show yesterday, had thought
that a good portion of the show was going to
be about NBA former and current players and gambling and
X ray glasses and the mob and because man, that thing.
Within thirty minutes of the show. When did I text
you Ross?
Speaker 1 (01:19):
What was it?
Speaker 2 (01:19):
Maybe twenty minutes thirty minutes after the show, when I'm like, dude,
they're they're out there, arrested all the NBA players.
Speaker 3 (01:27):
Yeah, and I saw that I'd seen enough. At that point,
I'm like, we need to put Lebron in prison.
Speaker 1 (01:31):
Yes, Ross was Ross had immediate thoughts on this.
Speaker 3 (01:35):
I didn't even read the story or know anything about it.
I just knew what had to be done.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
So I texted you at seven or excuse me, at ninth. No, No,
that's the other one. Hold on about forty five minutes
after the show. There we go.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
So and then it was probably about fifteen minutes after
they started arresting them. And so, you know what's crazy
is the one dude they arrested is a dude who
who is gambling buddies with Lebron. See, but they have
had there's you know, there's interview evidence all of that.
(02:09):
Of Now, that doesn't mean it's not on the up
and up. It sounds like the dudes a lot of
these guys are degenerate gamblers. You'd have to be, because
the one guy they arrested, he made twenty six or
is going to make twenty six million this year. He
made the same last year, and according to authorities, he
rigged that game for two hundred where where he allegedly
(02:31):
went out sick when he's playing for the Hornets for
two hundred thousand dollars.
Speaker 3 (02:37):
Yeah, you have people saying, you know, he made that
much money, but he threw it away for two hundred thousand.
Well you got to you know, that wasn't the first time.
I'm sure he did that, right.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
But still, I mean, I mean, how.
Speaker 3 (02:46):
Long has he been doing it?
Speaker 1 (02:48):
You know what I mean?
Speaker 3 (02:49):
It could have added up to a lot of money,
Not as if two hundred thousand isn't a lot.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
Well no, but it's comparably right, comparably Yeah, yeah, I
mean most people listening to this show and self include,
we're not gonna make two hundred thousand this year, so
let alone gambling, let alone on time, like, Ross, do
you think you could make twenty six point one million work?
Speaker 1 (03:09):
No?
Speaker 4 (03:10):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (03:10):
If I was like that was my salar, yeah'll be fine.
I think it'd be fun.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
Officially, think I was asking like if I made that much,
like no, oh no, no, no, no, If you do, you
need to tell me right now. Because I have to
talk to Trevor after the.
Speaker 3 (03:24):
Show once again. You know, there'd be signs yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
This is true, this is true, a lot of and
there'd be a lot of revenges.
Speaker 1 (03:35):
People would people would be paying around you.
Speaker 3 (03:38):
You know, I'd be marking a lot of names off that,
you know, revenge list or whatever. Yeah, yeah, my enemy's list.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
Right, what I'm not on right?
Speaker 3 (03:47):
Anyway, two hundred thousand dollars point one. Yeah, you know,
adds up. So let's not pretend this was the first
time that the guy did this.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
Well, we're well, for some out there, they are are
surmising that it's the first that the investigation literally just started.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
Steven A.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
Smith sometimes has really just the worst takes ever, and
we'll we'll share his with you because he went on
this whole weird rant yester.
Speaker 3 (04:18):
Wasn't he on the same show? Him and Skip bay
listed a show?
Speaker 1 (04:21):
Right?
Speaker 3 (04:22):
Or am I misremembering that?
Speaker 1 (04:24):
No?
Speaker 2 (04:24):
Skip was with uh oh he was with Sharp Shannon Sharp.
They hated each other.
Speaker 3 (04:29):
Yes, well, they should put Skip bay Lists and stephen
A on the same show together because it would be
just be just called worst take the worst Steve.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
But Steven A. Smith sometimes has.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
Really good takes he does, and the Bayleish is oh,
for every.
Speaker 1 (04:42):
The whole life, his whole life, for his whole life.
Speaker 3 (04:45):
Right, Stephen A is sort of like Bill Maher where
a case, he'll come out and he'll say something that
makes sense and the right will prop it up, and
then the next day he'll say something that's just backcrap crazy.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
I'm not even talking about the you know, sometimes he's
got good he has some really good sporting takes. Sometimes
I appreciate I appreciate that, you know why, because he
doesn't care. And sometimes especially if an athlete's one of
the you know, hey, everybody loves this athlete, if it's
one of those kinds of athletes, Steven A. Smith oftentimes
is the only one who actually say what needs.
Speaker 1 (05:17):
To be said.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
But whatever he was on about yesterday with this is
part of Trump's revenge tour. It was so ludicrous, man,
so ludicrous that even Patel had to come out like
correct him in an interview, because like, here's the thing.
(05:39):
If anybody on this planet thinks that the FBI broke
open a multi you know, thirty some people arrested in
involving the mob sports fixing all.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
Of this, you know, high profile individuals.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
If you think that they put together the entirety of
that case and we're ready to move in this rico
ish fashion in less than you know, less than a year,
You're insane.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
That's just not that's not how it rolls, man.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
And and by the way, some of these things were
investigated independently by the NBA years ago. And of course
the NBA was like, we investigated ourselves.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
Everything's fine. So so I mean's and that and that
wasn't unknown. But I mean, all right, here here we go.
This is this is here is Stephen A. Smith.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
And I apologize to I'm gonna torture you with this
this morning, but holy hell, this is a bad take.
Speaker 5 (06:41):
How many times, for one incident after another, have I
said Trump is coming, He's coming. I'm gonna stay it
on national television again. Bad Bunny is is performing at the.
Speaker 6 (06:56):
Super Bowl, and all of a sudden you hear in Ice.
Speaker 5 (06:58):
Is gonna be there looking to engage in mass deportations.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
All right, I gotta stop him here. The bad Bunny
thing that's bad Bunny is the one who said that
Ice was going to be there, and he said he
was going to be at his concerts.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
So, like it's clear from the jump Steven A. Smith
wants to make a point and he's slow rolling to
get to the point and he's just trying to fill
it with examples that.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
He didn't even reach. You know, I super Bowl, Well
I'm sorry.
Speaker 3 (07:26):
I heard him say that, and my initial reaction was,
I'm pretty sure the left is they're the ones that
came out with the talking point. I had completely forgotten
it was the actual guy that said it. Like it
was bad.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
Yeah, yes, yeah, that's why he can't.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
He that's why he canceled his other concerts so that
he wouldn't play in the US until they gave him.
And then they gave him the super Bowl thing. You know,
he was fine, but he's still not doing his concerts.
But he's the one who said it, so so it's
a bad supporting them.
Speaker 3 (07:52):
He did say it right, and then there were people
on the right there'd be like, well that would be hilarious.
Oh yeah, but that that but that take did not
come from the right.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
No, no, but more specifically, it did not. Trump didn't
say it right, which is what Stephen as implying here.
He may maybe he did, maybe he thought it. He's like,
that is a good idea, and then you know, called
Christy and I was like, hey, I got I got
some I don't know, but like, let's just if you're
going to use this as the leg of the chair
you're trying to build here, let's let's all right, so
(08:22):
uh straight number one, let's.
Speaker 6 (08:24):
Go disrupting things.
Speaker 5 (08:26):
Big night for the NBA went beyonda put on a
show that has now been smeared because we're talking about
this story.
Speaker 6 (08:34):
Okay, remember Trump.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
Has a long, long, situway.
Speaker 2 (08:37):
So Trump ruined the prom night for the NBA or
their the you know, their first night. Some would argue
that people rigging the game might have ruined that, but
you know, let's just that's just.
Speaker 5 (08:50):
Me history connected to the world of sports. Because he
had those casinos. Way do you think folks will come
in half the time? I'm not talking about individuals, I'm
talking about the culture. When people want to want to
go to a casino, when people want to gamble, when
people want to party, or whatever the case may be.
Speaker 6 (09:05):
This was his kind of connection to that.
Speaker 5 (09:08):
Why am I glad you're here, Monica, because don't be
surprised that the w n B A is next on
his list, because when you've got all of these protra.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
Wait, hold on, what is the what is the purported
alleged thing with it?
Speaker 6 (09:22):
What?
Speaker 1 (09:22):
What is Trump going to do the w n B A.
Are there illege? Are there legal immigrants playing? I don't know.
Speaker 2 (09:29):
I don't know what the if anyone's gambling, If anyone
bets on the w n B A, they should not
be able to gamble anymore, although they are and they're
doing it in a weird way that's made a mad,
which will tell you about coming up.
Speaker 1 (09:40):
But okay, all right, So the w n b A
is next.
Speaker 5 (09:43):
Tests that have been going out there and people that
have been protesting against him and what have you.
Speaker 6 (09:47):
This man is coming.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
He's again, what's you gonna do? Come and arrest their fan?
I don't under I don't understand what the what the
w n B A references?
Speaker 3 (09:57):
Did you see the battle the Babylon B take on that?
Speaker 1 (10:00):
What was that?
Speaker 3 (10:01):
It showed a picture of Angel Reese and it says
w NBA claims not to be involved in illegal gambling.
They're just really bad at basketball.
Speaker 1 (10:08):
Yeah, she blocked that. She blocked the one dude from them.
Speaker 3 (10:11):
Yeah, I mean maybe that's it. Do you think did shee?
Do you really think that you know she misses all
those shots on purpose? No way?
Speaker 7 (10:16):
Right?
Speaker 1 (10:17):
Well, I mean I don't know.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
I think somebody may have gambled on the number of
sacks that Wentz would take last night. Sorry, we'll get
to we'll, we'll, we'll get into that. What kind of
All right, let me let's let's Steven finish his bad thought.
Speaker 5 (10:35):
And I've been saying it for a long time, and
to me, this is the latest nugget of evidence that
we're talking about right here. That's not to question the
legitimacy of the case.
Speaker 6 (10:44):
We don't know. We're all sitting up here and with
saying that we don't know.
Speaker 5 (10:48):
But anybody that has been around him, anybody that has
talked to him, anybody that has seen his reactions from
the sports leagues and the positions that people have taken,
they are not surprised at what's going on today.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
All right, So so that you know the implication, of course,
that this is part of Trump's revenge tour, which obviously
you don't build a case involving the you know, four
of the five families, all of these these uh, you know, celebrities.
Speaker 1 (11:24):
As well as a lot of really rich.
Speaker 2 (11:25):
People because you know, you you recognize that they probably
have means to bring in some pretty good attorneys. So
you have to have this thing locked down, and that's
who you know. You're not dealing with poors here. You're
dealing with former NBA and current NBA players who haven't
have made a lot of money and a current NBA code.
I love Chauncey billups by the way. I loved watching
(11:48):
Chauncey Billups play. He played for the Minnesota Timberwolves with
k g oh Man and Wally and we you know,
when we made a run got hummeled by the Lakers
to go to the West Stern Conference championship. It was
was very painful. That was a that was a wonderful
year and Billips was instrumental, you know what it was
(12:09):
really like. He was very likable too when he do interviews.
He did he did a lot of the charity stuff
that we did because we did that, we had the
tim Rules broadcast for the iHeart Cluster.
Speaker 1 (12:21):
Up there.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
And so like, I had a lot of a lot
of respect for Chauncey billups Man. He also didn't he
didn't get into stuff. He wasn't a problem. And we
had a couple of players in various sports in Minneapolis
at the time there could be a problem.
Speaker 1 (12:38):
And it wasn't. Billups. Man, it's just a good dude.
So like, but these are the people you're dealing with.
Speaker 2 (12:42):
You build this case and it takes a long time
we find out, you know, you go back to the
initial NBA investigation. This is over four years. This literally
started almost at the beginning of the Biden administration. So yeah,
what a what an absolutely horrible, horrible take. They have
to watch Cash Patel standing up there about an hour
(13:05):
after the show yesterday saying this.
Speaker 8 (13:07):
But as you now know, individuals such as Chauncey, Billups,
Damon Jones, and Terry Razier were taking into custody today
former current NBA players and coaches. What you don't know
is that this is an illegal gambling operation and sports
rigging operation that spanned.
Speaker 7 (13:24):
The course of years.
Speaker 8 (13:25):
The FBI led a coordinative takedown across eleven states to
arrest over thirty individuals today responsible for this case, which
is very much ongoing.
Speaker 1 (13:35):
Not only did.
Speaker 8 (13:36):
We crack into the fraud that these perpetrators committed on
the grand stage of the NBA, but we also entered
and executed a system of justice against La Casinostra to
include the Bonano, Gambino, Genevesi and Luchas crime families.
Speaker 2 (13:57):
I mean, oh yeah, you put it together in eight
on so Trump can get can get people just just
absolutely the worst, the worst takes surrounding this. And and
I don't know if it was so bad because nobody's
saying anything that's sitting there, because there's like six people
he's explaining this to on this big panel there, and uh,
(14:19):
nobody's really chiming. Nobody even says they kind of agree
with him. I think they all realize that. And I
And again, I don't know what prompted it. Maybe you
just thought he had Maybe this is just that weird
conspiracy he has where you know what I'm saying, But
it's just there's some there's some weird thing that so
you'll you'll believe, and you in everything else, you're just
(14:40):
kind of normal. And then there's that one thing that
maybe your friends don't see right away, but when they
see it, they're like, oh, you're alone. It's like we
were talking about with the with the uh, Trump didn't
get shot thing or it's all staged, the fake bullet
or whatever you want to call that theory, a relatively
normal person and then all of a sudden they're like, you know,
he was never shot. It was Hollywood blood exploding capsules,
(15:03):
and you're like, I'm sorry, what what are we doing here?
Speaker 1 (15:07):
Maybe this is Stephen A. Smith a little conspiracy. I
don't know.
Speaker 2 (15:12):
I do know, like like the technical side of this.
I retweeted a little a little video, and you can
see these they weren't special glasses. There's invisible ink on
these cards, I mean, and they had the table that
they were gambling on is supposedly an X ray machine,
(15:35):
you know, not a regular one, but clearly I mean,
like the tech on that alone, so that when cards
are faced down, so if you're playing like Texas, hold
them you can see the you know, the river and
everything else. Plus you can I guess, read your opponent's cards,
or at least one of them if they stack them.
Speaker 3 (15:50):
I mean, after seeing all this, this is why I
watch the NFL and not the NBA.
Speaker 2 (15:55):
Well, well, we we can wonder.
Speaker 1 (16:01):
We can wonder as well.
Speaker 2 (16:05):
There's a lot of times when at players and coaches
do things then the referees do things to make you wonder.
I'm just saying, anyway, we'll get into more of this
coming up hang on a kc O Day radio program
and uh, all right, so we're gonna dive deeper throughout
the show into all this basketball insanity. I just went
(16:25):
there's one other thing that I did see yesterday and
I don't I don't understand it now, full disclosure, but
but I have been remarkably consistent on everything that I'm
about to tell you, Even before I was an endorser
for DraftKings, I do DraftKings spots and I hate but
even we were just talking about getting gambling in North Carolina.
(16:48):
The people out there who were like, see, this is
what the sports betting apps have wrought. No, in fact,
they're the victim. They're one of the victims here. So
that's that's a really bad take. That being said, I
have consistently had a problem with ESPN running.
Speaker 1 (17:07):
Their own sportsbook. And remember I said this when this
is all kicking off, that I'm like ESPN, and it's
because of ESPN's dual, the.
Speaker 2 (17:18):
Duality of what they do. They won They're they're a
news outlet, so there's that, and they are they are
the even though they're you know, as biased to the
left as any of them.
Speaker 1 (17:31):
They are a news outlet.
Speaker 2 (17:32):
But also they are usually and I think if you
added it in the totality, they are the largest financial
partner and have the most to lose when a game
is not going well right because then people turn it
off like Vikings fans did last night. And and so
(17:53):
they have an immense amount of ability to influence at
a fleets leagues games. They're you know, the broadcast partners.
It's you know, it's part of part of the larger
ABC networks. So there's the ABC portion of it and
the just the whole ESPN having a gambling site is
(18:17):
too big.
Speaker 1 (18:17):
Gamble on sports has always been weird to me and felt.
Speaker 2 (18:20):
Inappropriate for those reasons now because I have an objection
to sports gambling as long as you're being responsible about it. Look,
if if you're a degenerate, uh, you know, gambler, then
maybe you shouldn't gamble. If you're if you're somebody who
is you know, uh, bankrupting your family, then you shouldn't gamble,
and you should talk to somebody.
Speaker 1 (18:41):
It's like any other addiction. But you know, the the
the idea that sports gambling, uh you know, in this
scandal like this is only possible when you get into
the current form of it where it is legalized and
you know, has the digital platform. People have been sports
gambling forever is law, as long as sports has been around,
(19:06):
they've been gambling on it.
Speaker 2 (19:08):
So at least in this instance, it becomes immensely more
trackable as they're uh, you know, they're they're rigging this
player is going to go out and you know, bet
the unders. And then people go and they they lay
these bets, not with the mob. The mobs now the
one they used to be the ones taking the bets,
now they're the ones making the bets. And then they
(19:29):
go to these sports books and they get a bunch
of like straw betters who go and they all bet
the under on this guy's rebounds and then when he's
one shy of it, he fakes an ankle injury is
basically the allegation.
Speaker 1 (19:42):
So but yeah, I again I've.
Speaker 2 (19:45):
Been remarkably consistent on this, even though and again disclosure,
I you know, I do endorse one of the gambling sites,
but I don't have a problem with it. I think
it's like anything else. If you're an adult, make your
decisions with the government. The government doesn't need to between
me and another consenting party if I want to wager
ten dollars over whether Carson Wentz's head was going to
(20:05):
fall off last night because Kevin O'Connor was clearly mad
at him and keeping him in, so I didn't watch
most of the game.
Speaker 1 (20:13):
Here's what happened.
Speaker 2 (20:14):
I watched just enough to know I didn't want to
watch any more of this. I was feeling bad for Wentz, man.
Speaker 1 (20:21):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (20:24):
I as a human. I was feeling bad for that dude.
And then when I watched a little low Lights reel
this morning, and I'm glad I turned it off. But
I was really excited yesterday because I made that decision.
And then I just put on I flipped it over
to some little documentary.
Speaker 1 (20:42):
It didn't turn out to be AI slop.
Speaker 2 (20:45):
And I was able to drift off to sleep really
early last night, really early, which is not easy for me,
especially to it later in the week. And I don't
know why that is, but but I had an air
pod in one ear so I could hear what was
(21:05):
going on with the thing, you know, it's in the
year opposite with head on the pillow, fell asleep, and
my friggin phone rings, which I normally have silenced, and
it is silenced unless you have your AirPod connected via bluetooth.
At nine thirty eight last night, I want to be
(21:26):
abundantly clear, at what time this happened? Nine thirty eight.
Speaker 1 (21:36):
Nine eight.
Speaker 2 (21:37):
Yes, at nine thirty eight last night, my phone rings,
and because I have that one AirPod in, it rings
into my ear and it wakes me up, but it
doesn't wake me up fast enough to get the phone.
I the only thing I'm left with is staring at
the screen for about two seconds before I, you know,
my brain turns on and it says National Institute of
(21:59):
Health slash. That is a very disconcerting phone call to
get at that time of night. Now we get up
ridiculously early, So this is I'm angry, Like, how dare
the audacity?
Speaker 1 (22:16):
First? You know?
Speaker 2 (22:18):
The first thought actually is like if the CDC or
a nationalist who health is calling you it this night,
zombies or a friggin' wuhan wet market just crashed on
the street near my neighborhood.
Speaker 1 (22:28):
Okay? Is that wrong? Am I? Am? I? Panicky, get
so much food outside your Yeah, have some penguin right now?
Speaker 9 (22:36):
This?
Speaker 3 (22:36):
What do you dit that? In a bat?
Speaker 1 (22:38):
I think the the blend of flavors is so you
think the worst, wouldn't you ross if you saw this?
The you're thinking zombies right completely?
Speaker 3 (22:50):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (22:50):
Yeah, okay, so there's something horrific happening. So and then
my second thought is it's probably a scammer. But how
would they spoof the ID? Which I know is possible,
but so I but now I'm up, you sons of
I'm up. And all of a sudden, then after you know,
the the voicemail populates and I have an iPhone so
(23:13):
you can actually you get the it'll write it all
out for you. And so I'm reading that and then
I go to listen to it, and then I quick
I checked the numbers because they in the thing, they
give you one number, and then there's the number that
they called on and in the here's here's what they
said in the voicemail. This is And I don't know
(23:35):
if this happened to anyone. I'm just so I'm so
upset at this, and I'll explain why clearly. But again,
you think the worst because that's who's calling you. It
says this calls on behalf of the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention. We're conducting a nationwide survey about vaccinations
for COVID and other diseases affecting adults, teens, and children.
(24:00):
You need to complete the survey. Please call blah blah
blah or text this number back with the word web
and then we'll send you a link. We will call
you again to get you know, it's really long, but
they're going to follow up and all that stuff. And
I'm like, absolutely not, absolute fricolutely not. So I now
I'm on content right because I'm up. I was going
(24:21):
to get an amazing night of sleep. And now you
I thought the government was shut down, by the way,
but the audacity to be calling people at damn near
ten o'clock eastern to ask about private medical information. You
gain a function funding get out of jail free because
(24:44):
you know, Joe Biden pieces of garbage. And I know
it's not the woman I talked to, and I did
not yell at her or that at first, and I
actually never yelled at her, but I called her. I
called them back because now again I'm going to make
content out of this. I know I'm going to talk
about this in the morning because I'm so irate, but.
Speaker 1 (25:04):
I get I called back. She answers, not a robot,
it's an actual woman. She answers. And again, I've checked.
Speaker 2 (25:09):
These numbers, these these are, this is and I've seen
and there's actual stories about this thing that they're doing
this survey. And I'm just like, excuse me you, And
I explained to her, like I get up at oh
dark thirty, like a number that you can't even fathom.
Speaker 1 (25:27):
And you're calling me at almost ten o'clock. What do you?
Speaker 2 (25:31):
I said, what are you doing? She goes, sir, We're
doing a survey blah blah blah. And I'm like, no,
absolutely not. Why are you doing this? She goes, sir,
this is when we work. Those were her exact words,
and I lost it. I'm like, you need to work
on removing me. You guys, do not call me anymore.
How dare you bother people at this time of night?
(25:51):
And she goes, I'll remove you. And then just I
was hanging up at that time and I know it's
a little thing, and he'd be like, ah, you're being
a jerk. No, no, no, no, I refuse to give
an inch to the people who single handedly I should
say single handedly because it took a lot of useful idiots.
But the people who led the charge to decimate people's
(26:13):
businesses that were friends of mine, people's livelihoods, people's people
didn't get to hug their loved ones because you all
were so smart and you knew that COVID can't affect
you if you're you know, six, It'll only get you
if you're six feet tall where it hangs in the air.
But as soon as you are only three feet tall
because you're sitting in a booth, no more COVID. Right,
this kind of garbage, I'm not giving you an inch,
(26:35):
and I'll be damned if I'm paying you to harass
me at ten o'clock at night when I get up
at an hour that woman's probably didn't know existed because
we work.
Speaker 1 (26:46):
Now.
Speaker 2 (26:47):
I understand why you work in the evening. I get
that probably a better chance to get a hold of people.
But you can also delineate this as a cell phone
versus a landline. Ah So, no wuhan wet market, no zombies,
just just just the the audacity to go ahead and
do something like that. I'm still angry about it, and
(27:11):
it put me in a bad mood, and it ruined
your show for you.
Speaker 1 (27:14):
I mean, now you get grouchy cakes.
Speaker 3 (27:15):
I'd prefer maybe zombies over government and competency and competency.
Speaker 2 (27:19):
Yeah, hey, remember us, remember us who ruined everything?
Speaker 9 (27:24):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (27:24):
Can we talk about that and maybe get some other
info off.
Speaker 3 (27:27):
One one's an actual danger, the others just you know, yeah,
constant annoyance.
Speaker 2 (27:32):
But the zombies are not a danger compared to these people.
Zombies are. Are they fast zombies or slow zombies?
Speaker 3 (27:38):
That's a good point. Yeah, I mean, if I had
a pick, GID go slow.
Speaker 2 (27:41):
If it slows zombies versus National Institute of Health, I'm
slow zombies all day. Yes, now you ruined it. And
then the other thought is Mandy Cohen did this to me?
But that's why that crossed my mind. But I clearly
I don't think it was Mandy coe on the phone,
the woman, But actually I would respect that as a troll.
Speaker 3 (28:05):
If it was literally her. You just hear her off
to the side laughing. Yeah, I'd be.
Speaker 1 (28:09):
Like, all right, all right, well played, well played. So
they did not They'll not be getting into my details
and and frankly, uh dude, iag I tagged a couple
of the members of Congress should come on the show
just in case they need something to make hey about
this week, Like I can't. My taxpayer dollars are doing this.
(28:33):
You need to get a hold of your boys over there.
Speaker 2 (28:35):
This is this is absolutely, absolutely absurd. And yes, I
understand that my situation's probably unique, but it's not totally unique.
And a lot of you who are listening right now
get a really early and also don't want to get
cold called by Fauci's people. I know I didn't six
forty seven hang up phone number eight eight eight nine
(28:58):
three four seven eight seven and four you want to
be on the show. That's actually a whole lot of
roster screw with the phone. Are we good with the phones?
Speaker 4 (29:09):
Now?
Speaker 2 (29:09):
Before I encourage people to call, I don't want people
wasting their time because our computer is being a jerk. No, okay,
all right, if you got if you want to weigh
in on any of the stuff I talked about, give
it a few minutes.
Speaker 1 (29:20):
Hopefully he's having to restart the computer.
Speaker 2 (29:24):
Okay, Oh dude, we got so much stuff to get
into today, and I and again I'm sorry, I'm a
little grouchy this morning. But that's CDC, that National Institute
of Health calling people to ask private medical information. Right
when you know a lot of people are already asleep,
(29:46):
especially old people like me. You have to get up early.
Absolutely not so all right? So the Senate, the main
Senate candidate, here we go. All right, So this is
the guy who had the not something that looked like
a Nazi tattoo. He had the actual Nazi tattoo, the
(30:07):
skull and crossbones, the specific.
Speaker 1 (30:08):
One that he would have seen everywhere. Ross. I don't
know if you saw it.
Speaker 2 (30:12):
Somebody put together a slide show of like entertainment over
the last fifteen years, and there's like twenty examples of
where people are portraying Nazis and they have that symbol
on their hat. Not just inglorious bastards, but a bunch, right,
So he covered it up. He put a weird looking
wolf for whatever that's supposed to be. And then when
(30:36):
he was showing off the wolf tattoo, they took what
wider shots of his body and he has a bunch
of tattoos. The guy was a marine, that's not unusual,
and he's got another tattoo, and whereas the first one
was absolutely positively the thing, this one, if it was
the only one we were talking about, is one of those.
Speaker 1 (30:58):
Well it comes down to text.
Speaker 2 (31:01):
Maybe he has on his body tattooed he's got nineteen nineteen.
Now are there valid reasons you would tat you could
tattoo that on your body? Absolutely right, and I would
hold that out. But we're in the world of politics,
and in the world of politics it doesn't matter, right
(31:23):
because much like eighty eight. Do you remember when the
former assistant FBI director was on MSNBC implying that Trump
ordering flags at half mass for eight days, and then
there was another eight somehow associated with it. I think
it was on the eighth with secret code for him
saying Hyle Hitler, which is what the eight to eight
reference is supposed to be. Well, nineteen the nineteenth letter
(31:46):
of the alphabet is an S, and yes, so that
is utilized in some instances to be code for SS.
Speaker 1 (32:01):
That's two. I don't I mean, is it? Are we
on a third strike rule here? I don't know. I
don't know how this is supposed to work.
Speaker 2 (32:11):
How how are and then they did polling not after
this this broke. But now and by the way, he's
also he is not a fan of the gay community,
or wasn't with a bunch of Reddit posts that he did.
Speaker 1 (32:24):
Those came out.
Speaker 2 (32:26):
And and like he's he's polling sixty percent in his primary.
And just so you know, it's not like the other
person's at forty percent. His next competitors in the mid twenties.
There's like eight people in this primary. He maintained sixty percent,
and he was already or I guess he was at
sixty or is it fifty eight? This is post Nazi
(32:51):
tattoo and now you have another one that's an SS
syndicator in some circles. I don't ever, I don't ever
want to hear a single Democrat called Trump a Nazi again.
Speaker 1 (33:06):
I just can't, man, I just.
Speaker 2 (33:09):
Like, look at, look at what's Look at what's running
in this race on the Democrat ticket right now? Whoopsie
twice Nazi tattoo, Guy Mandami with all his great ideas
and uh uh Jay Jones in Virginia.
Speaker 1 (33:26):
What are we doing?
Speaker 2 (33:30):
What I mean, can you imagine the looked around having
these three with ours after their name, What the news
cycle would look like? Plus Trump is demolitioning the White House.
Oh oh, and more on that too, by the way,
So hang on, we'll be back.

This holiday season, the Tunnel to Towers Foundation is delivering
on its promise to do good and never forget the
sacrifices of America's greatest heroes. During their annual Season of Hope.
Between Thanksgiving and Christmas, the Foundation is delivering mortgage free
homes to dozens of America's most catastrophically injured heroes and
gold star.
Speaker 2 (34:35):
And insane NBA story which isn't just an NBA story, clearly,
it's you got the mob in this thing. Guys like
Tommy the juice. Now, what do they mean juice? Is
it like It's always interesting to see how these cats
get their names. So Mobster Tommy the Juice, who's either
(34:58):
got the juice or he juice?
Speaker 1 (35:00):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (35:02):
He's wrapped up in this. Oh and and this is
the headline. Reputed mobster Tommy Juice, once charged with beating
porn star girlfriend arrested as part of the NBA gambling bust.
I have a question this is I don't know why.
This is a weird thing that popped into my head.
If this dude is a bad you know, made man mobster,
(35:24):
his girlfriend's a porn star. If you're a male porn
actor who is contracted to do a scene with a
made mob man's girlfriend, you're not doing that right. I'm
just yeah, this guy could fly off the hand a
lot of.
Speaker 3 (35:44):
Like the way I remember, Like, you know how perilous
it was for Vincent Vega to take out Marcellus Wallace's wife.
I mean that was dangerous.
Speaker 1 (35:54):
Let alone, that was dangerous.
Speaker 3 (35:55):
Let alone make a film with her.
Speaker 1 (35:57):
Yeah, and a film like this, like yeah, I wouldn't.
Speaker 2 (36:01):
I'd be like, nah, I'm good, They's go find some
other weird thing to do. I'm not hooking up with
the mobster's sports star girlfriend because she has an action
an active porn star.
Speaker 1 (36:13):
Ah uh yeah, so they arrested like thirty people with
this uh star.
Speaker 2 (36:21):
Oh, they got somever naughty athletics and the star of
Housewives Need Cash five. I thought I thought that at
that they had really by the fifth one, Ross, I mean,
at that point, you're just burning down the franchise. But
Fast and Furious pulled it off. So I don't know,
but I think Housewives Need Cash six.
Speaker 3 (36:43):
That would be a bridge to for all these franchises.
They just end up going to the moon or space.
You know, that's how you know. That's like the fawns
jumping the shark moment for most friends.
Speaker 2 (36:51):
Yeah, yeah, I think pretty much the only one you
know clearly mission impossible.
Speaker 1 (36:56):
I think did a good job of it.
Speaker 3 (36:58):
Have you seen the least no, at least mission impossible.
It would make sense in some way to go into
outer space. But when you have like Vin Diesel and
is Honda whatever it is, Honda Accord or whatever, like
how dare you flying up into space? What are we
doing here? And then how did they get back to Earth?
Speaker 2 (37:18):
Like well, okay, so that's your problem, not Sandra Bullock
falling from space and landing on Earth and walking away.
Speaker 3 (37:28):
Come on, I mean she's trained, she's she's like Katie Perry.
You know she's ready to go.
Speaker 1 (37:32):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (37:34):
They put you through that training in space camp.
Speaker 2 (37:36):
For gravity, Yeah, to do the gravity thing. Okay, I
was unaware your wife went, so I wouldn't know she
would know.
Speaker 3 (37:42):
She's trying. She's trying. Marky's trying to win the space
Camp trip because McDonald's is doing the monopoly again and
he brought that back. And the one thing she wants
is the space Camp trip. She's really she really wants
that trip. She's like another eg McMuffin. I wanted the
space Camp trip for her, for somebody, for her. She
wants to go.
Speaker 1 (38:02):
She already went.
Speaker 3 (38:03):
She wants to go again.
Speaker 1 (38:04):
Well, but if they won, wouldn't you want to go?
Wouldn't that be the nice thing?
Speaker 9 (38:08):
No?
Speaker 1 (38:08):
I don't want to go. Oh you don't want to
get in the anything? Did you want to when you
were a kid?
Speaker 3 (38:16):
Not really?
Speaker 9 (38:17):
Wow?
Speaker 2 (38:18):
Man, I love that commercial and they would beat you
over the head with that commercial during Saturday morning cartoons too.
Parents probably hated it because yeah, they had different tiers too.
We've gone over this before. In the show, they had
different tiers for a space Kim. They poverty tier and
then like you know you're in space yeah.
Speaker 1 (38:36):
Billionaire's kid.
Speaker 2 (38:37):
Yeah, all right, well maybe maybe if she goes to
cat you can go on the New Titanic sub.
Speaker 1 (38:44):
That'd be fun.
Speaker 3 (38:44):
Huh oh really, what controller does it use?
Speaker 1 (38:48):
The Wii?
Speaker 3 (38:48):
Ah, that sounds good, that sounds safe.
Speaker 2 (38:50):
Yeah, yeah, you want to use the Wii controller so
it flies out of your hand and the sub crashes
the X ray tables in this thing.
Speaker 1 (38:59):
That sheer. I mean the amount of money that was
involved with this. Uh so gambling.
Speaker 2 (39:04):
They had a lot of a lot of gambling related
discussions in the news.
Speaker 1 (39:10):
And then I saw this story.
Speaker 2 (39:16):
And uh it's it's written by somebody over wired. They're
clearly very offended by this. And here's the headline. Men
are betting on w NBA players menstrual cycles. And I
and I'm gonna I'm gonna tell you something. And I
know you're not gonna want to hear this, but it's true.
(39:39):
That might be useful. I'm sorry, that might be useful.
And and and by the way, if you think it
is a violation of their personhood, welcome to celebrity, okay,
and welcome to people that get away from the women's thing.
Go go back to any of the male sports. People
(40:01):
looking for an edge, people using things that have nothing
to do necessarily with your athletic performance, but rather how
you're feeling. Excuse me, see right now, you bet against me,
so I'm coughing how you're feeling.
Speaker 6 (40:19):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (40:19):
If a player, I know I know people who have
factored in because there was a domestic disturbance at an
athlete's house the night before an NFL game, and it
and in the news. In the news article it said
the police are there to like three in the morning,
they didn't arrest anybody, and that the discussion that I
(40:39):
had in this we're having with this person is I bet.
Speaker 1 (40:42):
That guy is going to be dead tired. Bet against him.
Speaker 2 (40:47):
And you know, whether that sound logic or not. People
look for an angle.
Speaker 1 (40:51):
People go and even if you don't gamble, if you
do fantasy football, right, I'll give you something else that's
more common that people will factor in the weather. The weather.
Speaker 2 (41:02):
If you're going to go start a quarterback and you
know it's going to be snowing like a bat out
of hell or raining to beat Hell, you might and
you have another available quarterback, you might consider swapping quarterbacks
because you know it's going to be a factor.
Speaker 1 (41:20):
So the idea that somebody.
Speaker 2 (41:23):
I don't know how they came about the information, Hell,
maybe they posted something on social media feeling bloated whatever,
that somebody would then factor that in does not surprise
me at all. You can be as offended as you want.
Speaker 3 (41:36):
I remember when people were betting when like Tyreek's Hill
house was bet like burning down. Yes, like he's not
going to play well his house is burned down.
Speaker 1 (41:43):
Would you No?
Speaker 3 (41:45):
I would not.
Speaker 2 (41:45):
Would you be sitting here on your A game this
morning if your house burned down?
Speaker 3 (41:48):
I want to but I think, but I think he
did go off for like hundreds of yards in the.
Speaker 1 (41:52):
Next Again, I'm not saying that it's accurate, right right,
right right.
Speaker 2 (41:56):
I would argue that this is more This would probably
be more accurate because then you're dealing with dehydration and
stuff like that, and dehydration is a factor. Tiger Woods
has a line he says, if you're thirsty, you're already dehydrated,
or something something along those lines. Or if you're thirsty,
it's already too late, because they were asking him why
because he drinks a lot of water when he's playing
around a golf and you know, dehydration affects the muscles,
(42:20):
it affects your ability to do things, all of these things.
I'm not surprised that gamblers just to get an edge
to make a little more money are going to factor in.
And if you're going to be offended by it, like
I you know, somebody's getting a divorce, you may factor
that in, and people, you know, you can judge on
(42:40):
that all day, but I'm going to tell you people
are going to do it. And it's not without some
mic you know, this micron of possible merit that you're
looking for an out because at the end of the day,
it's an outside health issue.
Speaker 3 (42:56):
It just is.
Speaker 1 (42:57):
It's just the reality.
Speaker 2 (42:58):
It's a It's something that if somebody's got a cold,
unless it's Michael Jordan, you know, if he's got the flu,
I go with the over as we as we come
to find out, that's not usually the case. So I
saw this story right in the middle of all that
other stuff, and I'm like, you could be as offended
as you want.
Speaker 1 (43:19):
I actually understand the thinking.
Speaker 2 (43:21):
I don't know that it's it's correct or logical, but
it's it's an interesting hypothesis. And then and then they
go and I guess they went into some of these
chat rooms and people were describing that they do it,
and the guy was so offended he wrote an article.
But hey, what are you gonna do? Seven eighteen? Hang on, Oh,
(43:41):
we have somebody from the CDC.
Speaker 1 (43:43):
Peggy, what's up? How are you doing this morning?
Speaker 4 (43:46):
I'm good? Yeah, this is Peggy. I wanted to follow
up on a call that was made to you last evening.
I just wanted to let you know Mary was calling
you from the San Francisco office, and you know, she
thought she was calling you time. We really like to apologize,
so we'd like to finish up with our questions we
asked you on COVID.
Speaker 2 (44:08):
Well, I will say that the call came from a
Los Angeles number and it was the Los Angeles office,
so you're not far off. Person who's not Peggy?
Speaker 4 (44:20):
I wanted to talk to you about this gamble and stuff?
Speaker 1 (44:23):
Yeah, how many times why didn't you take down the hub?
Speaker 4 (44:28):
Look at how many times was Ross two things? How
many times was Ross right about the fixers? And a
lot of these games, right, and then when you look
at like basketball, well basketball should of course. Look now,
in baseball, how many times do they go to the
you know, the best to be out of five, to
the five games World series go all the way to.
Speaker 1 (44:49):
Seven's all rigged.
Speaker 4 (44:52):
It's all rigged. Can you tell me a sport that's
that's legit?
Speaker 2 (44:55):
Well, you know, I I can tell you, I can
tell I'll tell you the most rigged game in the
NFL where they they got people to take a lot
of endgame bets because the team was down twenty eight
to three, and then they rigged him.
Speaker 4 (45:11):
Yeah, so I'm telling he rush, you know, rush, He's
got to do his Jamaican voice and get back out there.
Speaker 3 (45:18):
And you know, Paul's downplaying his role in this investigation.
Speaker 6 (45:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (45:22):
We saw him for months sitting at the end of
the Trailblazers bench in Portland. Yeah, a Trailblazers jersey. You
didn't wonder why he was there, that.
Speaker 2 (45:29):
Was I just as soon as the mob was involved,
he was getting paid. So all right, all right, Paul,
get out of here, get out here with that Jamal.
Speaker 1 (45:37):
I got like two minutes. What's up?
Speaker 12 (45:40):
All right, Casey?
Speaker 9 (45:41):
Good?
Speaker 12 (45:41):
Morning, Casey. What you have to understand, Kate Pom stephen
A Smith tate was because white folk quoted him about
Jazzmine Clock And now what you have to I don't
know if you remember last weekend a few weeks ago,
Stephen A. Smith called out Jasmine Clockey, are not doing
worked as a congresswoman for her PRETENTI well she was
(46:05):
on well Jesse Waters played her segment and he said,
Steve Stephen ain't getting all right.
Speaker 9 (46:13):
You don't do that.
Speaker 12 (46:14):
Till black ripples to the black community and the Higgors
to go with our community. You can't have white oh
quote and you dang sure can't make sure you know
you pulled the white Look how many people ain't got
good for the same reason. So when they were criticizing
stephen A. Smith and saw him talking about a britting
them down, you should have saw the attack against Stephen
(46:37):
ain't slip. It was it was like what black, old
black observers go through. But he's not he he has
come Duran Findram. So he came up with this tape
after the day before he apologized the jazzler' Clark and
saying I need to take up for my sister I
need to take up for my beautiful black sister and
all this crist So he came with this tape to
(46:58):
show the black community, shit, I'm still black. That's why
he did this crazy outwaity just take that had nothing
to do with that. He had to because sharp call
jazz right.
Speaker 2 (47:15):
But he fed this narrative that I saw and I
saw other people with this narrative yesterday that Trump did
this because he wants to attack the blackest sport that's
out there, and and so people trying to take this
erace thing. And he didn't for a moment stop to think. No,
I've never heard of an eight month investigation that included
the mob. The ca c O Day radio program. Let
(47:35):
me give you another example of going back to the
w NBA story. So Ross was just telling me off
the air, he was watching a video of Connor McGregor
and Hill tell him what you tell him?
Speaker 1 (47:45):
What the you know?
Speaker 3 (47:46):
For a while now, he's been looking like, you know,
not healthy, and he's been looking like a crackhead to
be honest, like you know, he's rambling and does and
there's a.
Speaker 2 (47:54):
Lot of stories like partying stories, yea and other stuff
that continued to permeate.
Speaker 3 (48:01):
Yeah, well, he made the announcement. He was sitting. I
don't know where he is, but he looks fantastic. He
looks healthy. He looks better than I've seen him in years.
And he said that he's been on a spiritual journey.
He's given up everything he was doing. He's turned himself
over to God. He's been reading the Bible and he
said it's transformed his life. And dude, dude looks healthy,
Dude looks solid. Dude is talking coherently. So that's amazing.
Speaker 2 (48:23):
And and why here's why I'm tying this to the
WNBA story. So that is something if because I know
they were talking about having McGregor do another fight. I
can't remember what the circumstances were, because I thought he
had I thought he was done with that because he
you know, he's making so much money off that. The bourbon,
the whiskey, the whiskey he h he created is everywhere,
(48:45):
so he's got to be.
Speaker 1 (48:46):
Killing it on that.
Speaker 2 (48:48):
That is something that if I was gonna bet econom
McGregor fight absolutely might influence in me, right, because it's
all these little intangible things, these other little things, because
that that screams to me, that is somebody who is focused.
He's probably a lot healthier because he's he's probably not
drinking and he's sure not doing drugs or anything. So
(49:08):
then you look at it and you're like, that might
that might be a guy who's so focused he comes
back and overperforms. And that's that's the kind of stuff
that people who are going to bet on stuff might
look at. So again, be all be offended as you want,
but uh uh no, all right to this story out
of India. I'm sorry, and nobody got hurt, so I
(49:29):
can laugh. But the imagery is because the headline doesn't
do a justice. All right, Indian president's helicopter gets stuck
in freshly poored concrete.
Speaker 1 (49:41):
So here's here's what happened.
Speaker 2 (49:44):
The now Mody you if you think in Modi Mody
is the prime minister, the one that you see visiting
with Trump. They have a president over in India too.
His name is Drawpati moumore mermou Ah. Isn't that the
thing from Doctor Strange the monster at the end.
Speaker 1 (50:06):
No, that's something different anyway.
Speaker 2 (50:08):
So this guy, he gets to the presidential helicopter and
goes to a village called Pramendum, which is a small village,
and to I thought this was back where the thing
normally is. So this village, to prepare for the president's
arrival for the visit, had to pour a helicopter pad
(50:32):
because they have one, and apparently somebody thought, hey, why
don't we do it? I don't know, the same day
or the night of the day before. So when they
landed the helicopter, the concrete wasn't set and so it
stuck in there. And what is so crazy about this picture?
(50:54):
And we'll ross gonna tweet a link to the story
that helicopter looks like something they found crash in a
jungle post Vietnam.
Speaker 1 (51:02):
It's an MI eight.
Speaker 2 (51:03):
If people know anything about helicopters, which is a nineteen
was a Russian helicopter from the sixties.
Speaker 1 (51:11):
Late sixties.
Speaker 2 (51:13):
And it looks like it looks like it should be
blasting fortunate sun or fly to the valkyries and you know,
pumping rounds into rice paddies.
Speaker 1 (51:23):
It's like Marine won It's not.
Speaker 2 (51:27):
That's And the other funniest part is so it lands
in the concrete. Clearly they realize that's a problem pretty quick,
and then there's like ten people trying to push it.
Speaker 1 (51:44):
Out of the concrete, which did not work.
Speaker 2 (51:48):
Why because it's a giant helicopter stuck in af set concrete.
I don't know, might still be there. I'm sure they
probably removed it by now.
Speaker 1 (52:00):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (52:00):
According to the local media, the helipad had they had
waited to prepare it until overnight. Concrete a reportedly been
poured on the ground. Yeah, so they did it in
the middle of the night.
Speaker 1 (52:14):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (52:14):
I talk about procrastinating and then they land in this thing.
But yeah, the whole visual is just hilarious. Oh, Drew
Potti's a woman. Okay, I'm sorry. I didn't know. I
don't know my male versus female names there, So I
guess I should have picked up from the picture lower
(52:34):
down the article.
Speaker 3 (52:35):
Well, was the helicopter blairing fortunate son flying to the
valcol Okay, yeah, it's one of the two.
Speaker 2 (52:41):
Yeah, it's always yeah, wellether when you're that old, it
looks like the helicopter that Rambo defeated with a rock.
Speaker 3 (52:49):
Well, you said, what a forty years old? How old
was the thing?
Speaker 6 (52:52):
Sixty eight?
Speaker 1 (52:54):
Now the model is sixty eight.
Speaker 2 (52:56):
I'm sure they produced the model because they now were
they're now up to puduction of twenty four's.
Speaker 1 (53:01):
This is an Era twenty four.
Speaker 2 (53:03):
This is an eight just to give you a sense
of the that there's other models that are newer.
Speaker 1 (53:10):
But does that not look like a Vietnam era helicopter?
Speaker 9 (53:13):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (53:13):
It really does.
Speaker 2 (53:15):
And by the way, the reason they weren't able to
push the thing out using ten Indian dudes is because
it weighs and this is production weight. So this clearly
probably doesn't include fuel and anything else you're gonna throw
in there.
Speaker 1 (53:29):
It weighs fifteen tho pounds.
Speaker 3 (53:33):
You're not going to push that out of concret right,
it's stuck in concrete.
Speaker 2 (53:36):
You could get the ESPN's Strongest Man thing that used
to run back in the day with all the magnuses.
Speaker 1 (53:42):
I don't think those dudes could push it out of there,
but they're trying.
Speaker 3 (53:46):
Dude, I sent you the Connor video. You've really what
it looks like. I got the audio. Open the button part.
Listen to him and tell me he doesn't sound like
a different person, and he sounds like he's back to himself.
Speaker 1 (53:56):
Any do we have any Connor audio hanging out in
the system anywhere?
Speaker 3 (54:00):
I think we just have the song.
Speaker 1 (54:02):
Oh okay, all right, all right, yeah, let me pop
over to this. All right, here we go. I am
not here just by a chance.
Speaker 13 (54:10):
There is a higher power, God that dictates my journey
and all of our journeys.
Speaker 14 (54:18):
And I lived my life by God's word.
Speaker 13 (54:21):
And since that, since around that time that you mentioned
at the last event, I've engaged on a spiritual journey.
Speaker 1 (54:31):
And I've saved.
Speaker 13 (54:32):
I'm saved, I am healed.
Speaker 3 (54:34):
And on the back of that, on the back of that,
the world is in for a treat.
Speaker 1 (54:41):
The world is in for a treat.
Speaker 13 (54:43):
My competitive spark that was once in my heart is
now a roaring blaze.
Speaker 7 (54:52):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (54:53):
Yeah, it doesn't sound like the Connor of old. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (54:55):
Look like he's not rambling. He's not like you know,
he did the thing where he was like shaking his
hands would be shaken. Look at that photo, he looks
like he's like healthy.
Speaker 2 (55:04):
Well the video outside the bus man, Yeah, just losing
his mind. Yeah, yeah, no, he looks a lot better.
Remember wasn't he running for president too? Yeah Ireland, Ye,
so yeah, I might be inclined to overestimate what he's
going to be able to do in another fight. Doesn't
mean I'm right, doesn't mean I'm wrong, but it's something
(55:26):
that I don't really bet on boxing. I don't know
if you heard this ross there there have been some
people who say that sometimes boxing.
Speaker 1 (55:34):
Matches have been rigged. You ever heard this?
Speaker 2 (55:36):
No, I haven't really Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, but you
know that.
Speaker 1 (55:41):
Or sometimes people get knocked out with phantom punches.
Speaker 2 (55:45):
Things happen. It's a little Craig Cray but uh, all right, yeah,
I'm at the very least he looks.
Speaker 1 (55:54):
You're right. He visually looks a lot better. I mean
he looks.
Speaker 2 (56:00):
He looks absolutely jack too, so uh clearly, clearly along
his spiritual journey, he's still hitting the weight room. So
how old is Connor McGregor? Now, by the way, he's
got to be what around forty? Now that you can't
fight when you're forty, there's some decent MMA fighters that
fought very late into their careers.
Speaker 1 (56:20):
So we'll see. All right, does mister stage at Kredie?
Oh I hear the rambling in the background there he is.
What's going on, dude?
Speaker 7 (56:30):
How much you all right?
Speaker 1 (56:34):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (56:35):
I see or no, I was just asking about that,
but we'll last night.
Speaker 2 (56:40):
Well, I'm doing a lot better than our quarterback is
this morning, So now you get hurt.
Speaker 1 (56:45):
Did you watch it in the game?
Speaker 7 (56:47):
No, I just saw it. Watch Are you kidding me?
Speaker 1 (56:49):
He will? I never see? And and again I didn't
watch the whole thing.
Speaker 2 (56:52):
I turned it off very early and went to sleep
until somebody called me at like ten. Oh you know
who called me? Somebody from Rosana, well out of Atlanta.
Speaker 7 (57:06):
Oh, okay, CDC.
Speaker 1 (57:09):
And it really was the CDC calling me at ten.
Speaker 2 (57:11):
And you know when the CDC calls your phone at
ten o'clock, you think that the a wuhan wet market
truck just flipped out in front.
Speaker 1 (57:18):
Of your house, right, like, that's not gonna be good news.
Speaker 2 (57:21):
Yeah, they're doing a big polling on the vaccinations and they're,
you know, trying to map who's vaccinated who's not.
Speaker 1 (57:28):
They won a bunch of metal. I lost my crap
on them.
Speaker 2 (57:32):
How dare you call people at damn near It was
nine thirty eight?
Speaker 1 (57:37):
How dare you, Larry? That's not hilarious? And I'm paying
for them to harass me when I'm already asleep.
Speaker 2 (57:45):
Now I got to sleep early. You know, you know
how great that is? Doing what you yep, I was gonna.
I went to sleep.
Speaker 1 (57:51):
Probably an hour hour and a half earlier than I
would have. And then.
Speaker 15 (57:58):
Well, for rightly or wrongly, my phone is off at night. Okay,
let my wife handle the emergency.
Speaker 2 (58:05):
So no, But what happened was is, as I was
falling asleep, I had an air pod in my ear
and I was playing something because again I had clocked out. Normally,
I just before I go to sleep, I pull it,
pop it out there. And uh because even though the
phone is on silence, if you have that AirPod in,
it rings through the headphone, right, yeah.
Speaker 7 (58:28):
So you read them have it?
Speaker 2 (58:28):
Huh uh yeah, I'm just like, how like how friggin dairy?
Speaker 1 (58:33):
And it's like, aren't you guys? Shut down?
Speaker 2 (58:36):
And I swear the lady said, because I complain about
the time, she goes, well, this is when we work, sir,
and that spun me.
Speaker 1 (58:42):
I didn't yell at or anything.
Speaker 7 (58:45):
She gave me the old this is when we work
one huh.
Speaker 1 (58:47):
Yeah, yeah, so you know why that would have flipped
you out? Man? Uh huh, Like we get up in
an hour. You don't know exists ma'am.
Speaker 7 (58:56):
Exactly every day, but you get used to it. Right now.
I wouldn't trade it for anything in the world.
Speaker 1 (59:00):
Honestly. Wait, it's not when a lot happened.
Speaker 7 (59:04):
I believe it or not.
Speaker 15 (59:06):
Well, yeah, it's been a lot easier where now the
kids are kind of on their own.
Speaker 7 (59:11):
But I lion like it.
Speaker 15 (59:13):
I have no problem going to bed at seven, seven
thirty at night and getting up at three, three thirty
doesn't bother me one bit.
Speaker 2 (59:19):
Yeah, it'll matter tomorrow when I or tonight when I
call you to see if you're vacuum.
Speaker 7 (59:24):
Yeah, my phone will be off. You'll be talking to
the wife anyway. That's up, man, God, great weather Chili morning.
Speaker 15 (59:30):
Got some frost advisories across the area, the thirties to
near forty. The thirties try it in west even saw
some upper twenties and some of the highest peaks down
in the mountains. I'm betting around the triangles about FORTI
this afternoon, little mid sixties.
Speaker 7 (59:42):
Tomorrow the same. Plenty of sunshine.
Speaker 15 (59:45):
Tar heels in Virginia Tomorrow at noon, it's gonna be
a little chili probably still be in the fifties.
Speaker 7 (59:50):
A kickoff, So if you are moving into Chapel Hill.
Speaker 1 (59:53):
For that game, the players are gonna love it, man.
Speaker 15 (59:56):
Oh dude, it was. It was my favorite when it
was sunny. I actually liked that class and it was
in the fifties. That was a favorite time to play ball.
Speaker 7 (01:00:03):
I mean it was.
Speaker 15 (01:00:04):
I used to love it. I used to love it
when you had these cool fault days. And then Sunday
for the Panthers, partial sun, mid sixties again, so a
little more cloud and less sun. It'll probably feel a
little cooler than Saturday. Will I'm gonna take UCLA with
the twenty five and a half against Indiana.
Speaker 1 (01:00:22):
You can't everything's rigged so well, yeah, I know that,
but okay, and I was convinced last week Michigan State
was it Indiana?
Speaker 15 (01:00:30):
They played, they had a cover and they kicked like
the last second field goal, and so that won me
the week.
Speaker 1 (01:00:35):
So okay, well, yeah it worked out for me anyway.
I got I got a couple of bad beats last week,
so did you. Yeah, that's how it goes.
Speaker 2 (01:00:43):
And then they tried to basically kill the quarterback for
my team, although we got.
Speaker 9 (01:00:49):
Good.
Speaker 1 (01:00:49):
Which one? Which one is that?
Speaker 7 (01:00:52):
Take Culpepper, I'll.
Speaker 2 (01:00:55):
Take, Yeah, take Brad Johnson for retirement, all right, I'll
talk to you in an hour.
Speaker 1 (01:01:01):
Thank you sir. All Right, there you go, race stage.
Make it me.
Speaker 2 (01:01:04):
Feel not not any not any better?
Speaker 3 (01:01:07):
All right?
Speaker 1 (01:01:07):
See hang on, may do you want to hear the
most insane take of the ballroom freak out over at
the White House, then look no further than MSNBC and
Morning Joe, Morning Joe. Where holy cow? What is what
(01:01:29):
is it? Idiot's name?
Speaker 10 (01:01:30):
Do?
Speaker 9 (01:01:30):
Do?
Speaker 11 (01:01:31):
Do?
Speaker 3 (01:01:31):
It?
Speaker 1 (01:01:32):
Doesn't matter anyway. So here is the here's the hot take.
Speaker 2 (01:01:35):
It's not Joe, but here is the hot take on
what's really going on surrounding this ballroom.
Speaker 1 (01:01:42):
And this is terrifying.
Speaker 16 (01:01:46):
You know, do this with some sensitivity to the fact
that you're not a king. You know, you can't just
do what you want to do when you want to
do it. That'sn't had a less response. That's that's a
really not fair to adolescents, right, That's that's infantile. You know,
(01:02:06):
just to do it because you can is in some
ways a definition of why we had the American Revolution.
And I can give conservatives saying, oh, you know, construction
project leads to fears about democracy, you know, just take
a deep breath on that.
Speaker 1 (01:02:23):
It is a particular they think that because you're saying that.
Speaker 16 (01:02:27):
Kuler, the way the President's done this that reflects and
illuminates a universal And to go back to what you
were just saying a minute ago about the Senate more
and more. I don't know if anybody here agrees. I
miss John McCain.
Speaker 1 (01:02:45):
That's the last part too, mister Thumb's down. Okay.
Speaker 2 (01:02:49):
So they also it's insulting to the American Revolution, like
you know, the founding file just did it because they
could do it just to you know.
Speaker 1 (01:03:00):
As like a bet, like a drunk bet or something.
Speaker 2 (01:03:02):
I mean, what are you implying like there, there's there's
some other reasons, but in no way, shape or form,
is the the renovation of the East wing of the
White House the same as the motivation for the American Revolution.
Just I think they ran out of takes over there.
I don't know it's so bad. Well, we'll get into
(01:03:23):
one of this too. With Pete calendar coming up, let
me grab a quick phone call, carry what's going on?
Speaker 17 (01:03:28):
Hey, good morning? So to talk about the NFL thing.
One cool fact that I learned that blew my mind was,
you know, talking about sports betting with the NFL, does
it rig what they can rig it if they want to.
Whether or not they do, I don't know, but it's
because they're they're labeled as a entertainment company instead of
(01:03:49):
an actual sport. That is how they cannot be sued
for any kind of legality reasons for uh rigging games
or or how they could rig gains if they wanted
to do.
Speaker 1 (01:04:00):
I'm not a lawyer, so is that is that what
you've read.
Speaker 17 (01:04:02):
Or that's what I've read up on you and and
found out that there was actually a guy so I
can't remember what state or whatever he tried to sew them,
but he got thrown out because they're labeled as an
entertainment company as opposed to an act.
Speaker 2 (01:04:15):
That's maybe it's because they want to rig it, or
maybe because the lawyer figured out that that's your best
form of protection.
Speaker 12 (01:04:22):
Right right.
Speaker 17 (01:04:24):
The question about The Morning Joe. Aren't bite news stations
supposed to be held to accountability of you know, real
news and tell them the truth. But maybe they're they're
a cable network.
Speaker 1 (01:04:35):
Well, they're not labeled they are.
Speaker 17 (01:04:36):
Yes, they can say whatever.
Speaker 4 (01:04:37):
Oh I didn't know.
Speaker 1 (01:04:38):
If that was a plot to them, They will say whatever.
Speaker 2 (01:04:41):
They can't just be clear sir, and thank you very
much for the call. They can't just say whatever, Poor
Pete callan or and I, uh we just uh we
we got to talk about all the mad people. But
that's our job. It's what we do. Pete, how you
doing this morning?
Speaker 9 (01:04:54):
I think I'm okay?
Speaker 1 (01:04:56):
Are you can?
Speaker 2 (01:04:56):
I have a question before we get underway, because I
didn't realize I had to do this.
Speaker 1 (01:05:00):
Now, do you have any tattoos?
Speaker 9 (01:05:02):
I do not have any tattoos. I have a brand,
but I have no tattoos.
Speaker 1 (01:05:09):
When is the brand? Does it have.
Speaker 10 (01:05:13):
M?
Speaker 1 (01:05:14):
I was gonna say, does does it have any symbolism
of any sort? Le should know about her?
Speaker 18 (01:05:19):
No?
Speaker 9 (01:05:20):
It's just a fraternity brand.
Speaker 2 (01:05:22):
Okay, all right, all right, your fraternity didn't wasn't two
letters or two words that both start with S?
Speaker 12 (01:05:29):
Was it?
Speaker 9 (01:05:30):
No?
Speaker 6 (01:05:31):
No?
Speaker 9 (01:05:32):
All right, No they were Greek letters. Are the Greek Nazis?
Now though I don't, I've lost with practice.
Speaker 1 (01:05:39):
There's so many things that are Nazi. I'm going to
help you. I'm going to help you, Okay. The only
people could be Nazis are Republicans. That's what that makes sense.
That's the new rule.
Speaker 9 (01:05:50):
See that makes sense, Casey, because the other day, I
was trying to list all of the things that are Nazi,
and you know, like Donald Trump, everybody who voted for Trump,
everybody who works for Trump, anybody who works for the
government while Trump is president. The people that are, you know,
(01:06:10):
tearing down the East Wing that anybody knows.
Speaker 2 (01:06:15):
That's the British or something, right, because it's the kin
of the Revolutionary War.
Speaker 1 (01:06:20):
I was told we just played that audio, by the way.
Speaker 9 (01:06:23):
So yeah, So I was just listing all of these
different things that make people Nazis, like the Jews Nazis,
they're Nazis. And then but not nazi is having a
Nazi tattoo that's not apparently Nazi too. Oh did they
(01:06:43):
find a second.
Speaker 2 (01:06:44):
Yes, So when he was showing off his So this
is the thing. You and I have done this long
enough where most of the time when somebody's like accusing
Nazi symbolism, there's a lot of reach. Like the former
assistant director of the FBI on MSNBC the Trump wanted
the flag at half mass for eight days and that
would be done on the eighth, was Yle Hitler.
Speaker 9 (01:07:06):
Oh my gosh, that is so stupid, right, Well, that's
the OK sign. The remember the woman sitting behind the
lawyer sitting behind Brett Kavanaugh.
Speaker 2 (01:07:15):
Yes, yes, yes, or the or the Seapack stage which
was runs remember.
Speaker 9 (01:07:21):
Right, or the rally at Madison Square Garden, or Elon
Musk waving to the audience.
Speaker 1 (01:07:28):
The difference is this guy's tattoo. It was not similar.
Speaker 2 (01:07:32):
It's not like when Trump put that eagle logo out
and they're like, oh, it's got an eagle on it,
and only the.
Speaker 1 (01:07:37):
Germans use eagles. Right, This was the thing. It's not great,
and it's the thing, and it's the thing that I
saw a slide show where somebody put like fifteen actors
dressed as Nazis in movies like Inglorious Bastards and Schindler's List.
Speaker 2 (01:07:52):
And all of these, and they all have that exact logo.
It's unquestioned the same.
Speaker 9 (01:07:57):
So you know where that came from. You know where
the obtusation came from as to whether or not it
is a logo or not an actual Nazi insignia. It
came from Graham Plattner's mouth. He wrote that narrative, and
the Politico reporters quote unquote, along with the pod Save
(01:08:17):
America Bros. They just simply regurgitated his line. And in
the political piece, which I find to be the most
egregious because they were the ones that you know, sort
of helped to get out in front of the pr
damage control operation, they just use that narrative that it
resemble the Nazi symbol.
Speaker 1 (01:08:37):
Right, And I did see that.
Speaker 2 (01:08:38):
Yes, some say it resembles a Nazi yourself, right, Yeah,
we did that.
Speaker 1 (01:08:42):
That's the exact story we used.
Speaker 2 (01:08:43):
What's even crazier is the news outlet in Maine where
a lot of the stuff keeps emanating from didn't exist
until like six weeks ago and had like eight followers
or something. Right, So it's clearly clearly.
Speaker 1 (01:08:58):
It's some sort of opposition thing, which is why he's coming.
Speaker 9 (01:09:00):
From what's their name, the governor Mills Janet. Yeah, yeah,
as soon as he as soon as he gets into
the race, all this oppo research comes out, Like obviously
we know where this is coming from, because you know,
he's you know, surging in the polls among young stupid people. Uh,
and of course Nazis and communists, which like that's that
(01:09:23):
is something really.
Speaker 2 (01:09:24):
To a community. He just had all these things come out.
He did a rally yesterday in uh uh, I don't.
I can't remember the name of the place, oh Gunquit,
which is it's it's it's a destination that's kind of
the gay community of Maine, right, And he and everybody
packed it in. So but when they when he was
showing off his cover up tattoo, right, So he stands
(01:09:47):
outside all that, somebody notices on the on his side,
he has another tattoo and it says nineteen nineteen.
Speaker 9 (01:09:55):
With Bolshevik revolution.
Speaker 2 (01:09:57):
Well or more specifically, and this is documented, it's like
the number eighty eight because if eight is H is
the eighth letter.
Speaker 1 (01:10:06):
S is the nineteenth nineteenth letter?
Speaker 2 (01:10:10):
Yeah, so now could it not mean that? And he
have a plausible reasoning behind it. Maybe there's some sort
of military significance. I don't know.
Speaker 9 (01:10:18):
But the Ouatian tattoo artists, it is Ruatian tattooists.
Speaker 1 (01:10:23):
But it is a known representation within Rian and and
Nazi tattooing in prison tattoos, Like I did not know this, Yes,
so this guy should the other one.
Speaker 9 (01:10:35):
So are the Nazis just gonna take all of our numbers?
So we're not going to even be able to have
any numbers anymore.
Speaker 2 (01:10:41):
I also think all of this is so stupid that
we're not allowed to like we're we're allowed to interpret
tattoos if it's a if it's a you know, Pete
hagg Seth with the Jerusalem cross, the thing that Cope
adorns himself with, or well, but not if you're MS
thirteen or not right or or right guy who is
currently leading in the polls in the Fresh poll fifty
(01:11:04):
eight to twenty four percentage points in the Democrat primary
in Maine after the story came.
Speaker 9 (01:11:10):
Out, Yeah, well that's because he built up a lot
of grassroots support by training all of the ANTIFA, Black
Lives Matter protesters slash rioters.
Speaker 1 (01:11:21):
Yeah, passing along that military training.
Speaker 9 (01:11:23):
Yep, yeah, yeah, yeah. I do find it quite remarkable
that the people who have been telling us for the
last probably decade that they can hear all the dog whistles,
even though they're not the dog in that analogy, which
I've never quite understood either, But they know all the
dog whistles, They can detect all these things. They know
(01:11:44):
what people actually mean, yes, yeah, when they wave and
when they use a word and when they make an
okay symbol like they know what the meaning is. And
then you have somebody with the explicit logos, the insignias,
and now it's like, yeah, I really can't tell. I
don't know what that's about. Oh, he was just drunk
(01:12:05):
and he liked the skull and crossbones. And I think
really the most egregious part of the whole story is
the guy the video they put out of Platinir where
he's got his shirt off and everybody's like, oh, he's shirtless,
he's shirtless. No, the dude is in his underwear. Okay,
he took his pants off too at a wedding, Like what.
Speaker 2 (01:12:25):
Kind of a perk thing I thought it was. I
thought it was a party near a beach or something.
I saw the way somebody reported it. But you're right,
he didn't have pants on either.
Speaker 4 (01:12:33):
So yeah, he's.
Speaker 9 (01:12:34):
Running around in his I would say tidy whitey's, but
they're like the black box of briefs or whatever. And
so he's like he's he's running around and like, how
is this? Like I have never been in a party
where people just strip down naked like that or into
their underwear parties.
Speaker 1 (01:12:49):
Maybe so, maybe so?
Speaker 9 (01:12:52):
And also the guy was a Blackwater self described antifuss
super soldier. Yeah, like I'm old enough to remember when
Blackwater were Nazis, Like they were called the Nazis and
they were the mercenaries, and like everybody on the left
had these fever dreams in paranoia about the Blackwater operation
(01:13:12):
and this guy's a Blackwater guy, and now it's like, yes,
that's our guy. It's like it is indicative of the
Democrats need this attraction that they've got to try to
find these rural white dudes that are veterans and elevating
them and then just ignoring all of the violence, fantasy
(01:13:36):
fetish crab like Mo Davis, Colonel Mo Davis who ran
for Congress there North Carolina and all of his nasty
tweets where he's fantasizing about how he would like to
hurt people, and it's like, guys, there are other candidates
that you can find that.
Speaker 2 (01:13:52):
Are not this, you know, yeah, yeah, Memo was like
the OGJ Jones, right, And I just want to and
I know this is an exercise that is everyone does.
But can you imagine if in the next election cycle,
J Jones, this guy, and Mondamine all had ours after
their name, what the media would be.
Speaker 1 (01:14:10):
Doing right now?
Speaker 9 (01:14:11):
That's my favorite game.
Speaker 1 (01:14:12):
Oh, I love.
Speaker 9 (01:14:13):
Oh, I love playing this game. Imagine if a Republican
did it, because we all know what this would be everybody.
I mean, look, and here's the thing. God has a
sense of humor. I said this the other day. You know,
keeping some of these stories so tight together in a
news cycle, you not only have the j Jones stuff, right,
but then you have the the text messages from the
(01:14:34):
Young Republicans, which, aside from some people on you know
what is dubbed the Wolke Right, Everybody's like, no, that's unacceptable.
I know some of them were jokes and this and that,
but no, like, you guys are stupid for putting whatever
these things were into a group chat. You're leading a
political party, although it's the Young Republicans, but in New
(01:14:54):
York of all places, so you don't have any real power.
But like, that's unacceptable, and most people in the conservative
and Republican world said so right, and yet they helped
this up and run around then saying defender, disavow this.
Every single Republican in America needs to defend or disavow this.
And then on the heels of this, like not even
(01:15:16):
a week later, we get grand Platner's comments on Reddit,
and all of a sudden, it's like, no more to
defender disavowed. We're not going to play this game with
the Democrats, really is Yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:15:29):
I heard a reporter say yesterday it'll be up to
the people. All right, what an absolute comp out? Many,
I got two, I got things gonna get you. I
gotta tell you what happened to me last night though,
because you so it's uh so, I fell asleep really
early because the Vikings are trash. So I but I
made the mistakes. Even though I had my phone on silent,
I made the mistake. I had an air pod still
(01:15:49):
in because I like lie just clocked normally. I and
so as a result, but hang on.
Speaker 9 (01:15:56):
Hang on, I got a question. You're look, you've got
air pods in and you're watching a game. So you're
listening with something.
Speaker 2 (01:16:02):
No, no, no, I turned the game off on now
listening to like go to sleep stuff.
Speaker 9 (01:16:06):
So oh gotcha?
Speaker 1 (01:16:07):
Yeah yeah yeah all right, so yeah no, it was
like a documentary thing. Yeah yeah, all right.
Speaker 2 (01:16:13):
So so all of a sudden, at nine thirty eight Eastern,
I get my phone rings and it wakes me up.
Now I'm not quick enough to answer it, but I
see on the call on the screen there, it says
National Institute of Health CdCO. And the first thought is,
(01:16:34):
if the CDC's calling you at damn near ten o'clock
at night, a wuhan wet market has just flipped over
in a truck out in front of your house, right.
Speaker 1 (01:16:42):
Something bats, something bat's going on. And then the second
thought is it's got to be a scam. Right.
Speaker 2 (01:16:48):
So but now I'm up, and I'm very upset because
I got to sleep early, and you know how great
that is doing the you know, so, so I look
up the phone numbers and then message populates and says, hey,
this national in National Institute of Health CDC. We're doing
a national survey on vaccinations. They're trying to essentially, I guess,
(01:17:09):
create a map of whose vaxed, who's not where?
Speaker 1 (01:17:12):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (01:17:13):
And they're doing this. And then I looked it up online.
They are in fact doing that survey. I checked the numbers.
They are in fact from the CDC. So I called
them back and I think this woman goes right, woman
picks up hey, blah blah blah my name. She clearly
is either works for them or as contracted by them.
And they were doing the survey. And I didn't yell
at her, but I said, you were calling me twenty
(01:17:33):
minutes to ten, I get up at an hour you
don't know exists. I'd paraphrase, right, how dare you how?
And then I said, I thought you guys were shut down, and.
Speaker 9 (01:17:43):
That's what I was thinking. How would be running in
the survey?
Speaker 1 (01:17:46):
Well, I suspect to do the survey. It's not CDC.
Speaker 2 (01:17:49):
It's some contracted surveying center who's probably already been.
Speaker 1 (01:17:52):
Paid, so they're doing it. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:17:55):
But I just told her, I'm like, this is but
it's what she said to me. And she goes, said,
this is way too late. This is obscene. You should
be ashamed. She goes, well, this is when we work, sir.
And I had to get off the phone. Man had
to get off the phone. Oh so upset. But the
odds the audacity of these gain of function a holes
(01:18:16):
who just fundamentally destroyed lives because they knew, they knew
that COVID can only get you if you're standing up
and not sitting down, and you know, all the rest
of this garbage to then harass people at a time
when there's going to be a lot of people asleep
so that they can do a survey, just the audacity
of a pete.
Speaker 9 (01:18:37):
So like, I'm curious, do they think they're going to
get accurate numbers? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (01:18:44):
If it had been earlier, I just would have played
with them as you do with the polsters who called.
Speaker 9 (01:18:49):
But right, like, think about I mean, who, I know,
I'm going to be generalizing here a little bit, but
the truth is general. So the people that you call
and ask if they are vacinated, if they are anti
COVID vaccine, right, if they have a bit of a
bad taste in their mouth due to all of the
(01:19:09):
the COVID response and the lockdowns and the voritarian types
of tyranny that we saw across America. Do you think
that they're going to give you accurate answers? But do
you think they're going to participate at all? So like,
I'm curious, what is the purpose of this survey? And
then do you think you're actually going to get accurateated
(01:19:30):
do it?
Speaker 2 (01:19:30):
Maybe I should have done it just to see what
was on it for the research, but I was so
upset and then I couldn't get back to sleep for
like an hour.
Speaker 9 (01:19:37):
Oh dude, I would have told yeah, because like I
would have been like, yeah, I've had fourteen hundred boosters.
I get one a day and it's been four years.
Speaker 1 (01:19:47):
Yeah, so every day from.
Speaker 9 (01:19:50):
Right, I have a port, I actually have a port installed,
and they yeah, they just they just give me the
boost every day on.
Speaker 7 (01:19:57):
My way to work.
Speaker 3 (01:19:58):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:19:58):
Yeah, right, we got one minute. They rolled a real
reverend Barber out to scream in front of the Capitol.
You say, nothing he can do, though, I guess we're
going to go and wait for the lawsuits.
Speaker 17 (01:20:08):
Huh.
Speaker 9 (01:20:09):
Yes, Well, conveniently for the Democrats, they already had a
lawsuit filed and so they're just going to tack onto
that one, apparently, yeah, because they just are in a
perpetual state of law fair against our maps. This was
portended by Supreme Court Justice Sam Alito though this very
argument that the Democrats are making in this lawsuit about
the maps, which is Republicans said we didn't use racial data,
(01:20:32):
we just used partisan data, and the Democrats are like, yeah, yeah, yeah,
but look at the racial movement from these redrawing of
the lines. And what Alito had said was, well, when
you have a demographic like African American voters that vote
ninety percent for Democrats. You're not going to be able
to know because if you draw it based on partisan
law or partisan affiliation, it's going to look like racial Yeah,
(01:20:55):
it's going to look like racial data.
Speaker 1 (01:20:56):
It's a disparate impact argument.
Speaker 12 (01:20:58):
Just exactly.
Speaker 2 (01:21:00):
All right, Pete appreciator, we'll talk next week and we'll
be right back. Famously happy that I went to bed
early and dipped out of the game. I mean, the
phone call thing obviously irritated me. I had not seen this.
I saw I saw them making fun of our quarterback
for both smiling and for basically having an emotional breakdown.
(01:21:20):
And it's like whatever, But the thing that I saw
just a few moments ago during the break there, and
so we the kicker for the Vikings name is Will
Rikery and he has been money money and even with
the Vikings trouble.
Speaker 3 (01:21:36):
What's his name Riikert? Oh Reikert, Yeah, Will Reikert. Okay,
I was excited for nothing. Wait what did you think
that his name was? Will riker Oh?
Speaker 1 (01:21:48):
I thought you were making a Nazi reference?
Speaker 3 (01:21:50):
Was right?
Speaker 2 (01:21:50):
No, No, he's canceled now yeah, I'm like, wow, it's
okay now, Steve A. Nerdier And I thought okay, no,
I'm sorry. It was not richer right, kirt to all right,
but he's been money and even with the Vikings being
up and down, the guy's been If you got him
as their fantasy kicker, you're probably doing okay. He's only
missed one and the one he missed was when they
(01:22:13):
were playing the two weeks over in London and it
hit a cable. I know it hit a cable because
we all saw it hit a cable, because I don't
know if you know this when when they kicked the
field ross. You ever seen this where when they kick
it they have cameras pointing at the ball the whole time.
Speaker 1 (01:22:30):
So they can follow the flight of the ball.
Speaker 2 (01:22:32):
Yeah yeah, so then you have the video evidence of
it hitting it. No, the NFL I talked about the
sheer greed that was involved in trying to do all
the I understand they want to grow their brand around
the world, but they're doing it at the expense of
the fans, and as a Vikings fan where my team
had to go over there for.
Speaker 7 (01:22:49):
Two weeks two weeks.
Speaker 2 (01:22:52):
Uh it just after they forced the forced taxpayers build
the new stadium.
Speaker 1 (01:22:57):
Oh, it's just made me so mad.
Speaker 2 (01:22:59):
But then yesterday during the game, al Michael's calling it
and he mentioned the only kick that he has missed
it during the first time. The first field goaliekick was
the one in you know where hit the cable. The
NFL is so dishonestly trying to protect their brand that
they will not allow any objection to exist to playing
(01:23:20):
football games in far off countries. And I would understand too,
because you're you're you're basically retro fitting stadiums that don't
host you know, football games normally, not our version of football.
And you know, there might be some issues with how
they string cables, how they're constructed any and it's not
the first time a field goal has hit a wire.
(01:23:40):
But then this is what al Michaels said in the
middle of the broadcast. I I oh, and you can
tell he doesn't want to be saying it either field.
Speaker 18 (01:23:48):
Goal at touch. The league wants to take my lunch
away because I said before that Rockers only missed was
hitting up a wire in London. The league says, no, no,
he was an opticking I losion.
Speaker 7 (01:24:00):
Righter thinks anyway, you have.
Speaker 1 (01:24:02):
That's not what anybody who understands physics thinks.
Speaker 18 (01:24:05):
My mess twenty four six is a story.
Speaker 2 (01:24:10):
But like, unless you have unless the ball has a
remote control like little like throne motor in it, it
clearly hits something. It's not nat The ball doesn't naturally
turn like that. It's not the arc you see, even
as much as you can try to hook something. No,
it's an immediate, slight adjustment of the ball's direction.
Speaker 1 (01:24:31):
It also stops the ball from spinning as aggressively as
it was.
Speaker 2 (01:24:36):
And they're they just want to pretend it doesn't exist.
So yeah, you're right, ross, everything's rigged except wrestling, or
is wrestling rigged? Don't tell me wrestling's rigged?
Speaker 3 (01:24:44):
Oh no, well it depends. Sometimes you think it is
and then you go to Montreal and you're screwed over.
So I don't know. Still still on that, huh, But yeah,
I mean the NFL, right, it's a play is a play.
There's no call unless it's turned over by a phone
call coming from New York. And they don't want to
be responsible for the reason that something You know, that
(01:25:04):
something went.
Speaker 2 (01:25:05):
Wrong, Yeah, because a team, a team might complain about that,
a kicker might complain about that.
Speaker 3 (01:25:10):
There was a game. I don't remember the exact specifics,
but I remember it was like I think it was
Buffalo versus the Pats and mac Jones had an issue
with it where he threw a ball and it hit
a cord or a wire or something, and.
Speaker 1 (01:25:21):
It absolutely did I knew, I remembered something. Is that
the game?
Speaker 3 (01:25:25):
It was, yeah, I believe so, and they were like, nope,
never happened.
Speaker 2 (01:25:27):
It was the camera that that camera that you know
flies over right overhead.
Speaker 1 (01:25:32):
Of the field.
Speaker 2 (01:25:32):
It hit the side cable of one of those They're
supposed to have it elevated, I think, and they had
it too low. And again it is a problem. But
now it's an extra problem because it's a natural objection
you want to It's like it's like it's the essay
objection you have where you'd rather go you to other
your house? Do you feel comfortable in your own house?
(01:25:53):
Do you know what I'm saying? And then if you
have to go do something at somebody else's place, you're
less comfortable. That's the home and away, and now you
got to go do it in another country. And if
people feel that by going to that other country they
were put in a disadvantage, they're gonna be less inclined
to do it.
Speaker 1 (01:26:07):
So the NFL said, and they're going, oh, no, it
never happened, screw you. I wasn't even that mad that
it happened. I actually understood it.
Speaker 2 (01:26:16):
I'm like, these guys probably don't rig a lot of
these setups for NFL games.
Speaker 1 (01:26:21):
But it didn't matter in the in the end. But
still now we're gonna pretend it didn't happen. Screw that noise.
Speaker 2 (01:26:30):
So yesterday Trump was asked about the Narco boats, and
to say he wasn't mincing words would be a bit
of an understatement.
Speaker 6 (01:26:38):
And briefed them on the operation.
Speaker 3 (01:26:40):
No, we will go.
Speaker 6 (01:26:41):
You will go, and we will go.
Speaker 4 (01:26:43):
We will go.
Speaker 13 (01:26:43):
For them to have judge, I don't see they loss
and go and no reason not to. You know, they'll
always complain, oh, we should have gone. So we're gonna definitely,
I'd like to just tell you, let's go, we'll go.
We're gonna tell them what we're gonna do, and I
think they're gonna probably like it, except for the radical
left lunatics.
Speaker 10 (01:26:58):
And mister President, if you are declaring war against these cartels,
and Congress is likely to approve of that process, why
not just ask for a declaration of war.
Speaker 13 (01:27:09):
Well, I don't think we're gonna necessarily ask for a
declaration of war. I think we're just gonna kill people
that are bringing drugs into our country.
Speaker 6 (01:27:18):
Okay, we're going to kill them. You know they're going
to be like dead.
Speaker 1 (01:27:21):
Okay, one more time that lasts.
Speaker 13 (01:27:26):
Just gonna kill people that are bringing drugs into our country.
Speaker 6 (01:27:30):
Okay, we're going to kill them.
Speaker 1 (01:27:32):
You know they're going to be like dead.
Speaker 2 (01:27:34):
And this is the thing, obviously he's saying in the
in the very Trumpian way that he says things, but
to say that you're going to not do it and
then you're gonna go through Congress, where good luck with that.
They're not even open right now. Also, I don't know
that it's a formal declaration of war to a non
state entity, even the how that would work. And the
president is allowed to conduct the you know, limited military
(01:27:56):
operations like this, so not having it as a declaration
doesn't make sense.
Speaker 1 (01:28:02):
But the moment it changes, and.
Speaker 2 (01:28:04):
He's not sitting there telling you he's going to turn
you to mist the deterrent is removed. Oh oh, they're
not gonna they're gonna go to Congress. So for three
months they're not going to be out there. Uh you know,
lobb and missiles into our drug boats. You know how
many drug boats are gonna be uh buzzing around through there.
(01:28:25):
So uh, they may not like the way that he
said it, but he's probably not wrong in uh in
keeping up the strong man front, because that's what if
you're trend de Arragua.
Speaker 1 (01:28:38):
Or you're the the Narco.
Speaker 2 (01:28:40):
Kami's out of Columbia, which the president was. He was
on the with the Kami group there. That's where he
emerged from you.
Speaker 1 (01:28:50):
This is they strong men?
Speaker 2 (01:28:52):
Is is a thing, right, That's that's the only thing
that really terrifies them. I don't want I say respect
because but you know exactly what I mean. So if
he's sitting there, he's like, I'm gonna keep blowing up
your buddies. They're going to pay attention to that at
the very least. So I'm cool with it, no problem there.
(01:29:16):
All right, let me know when our boy is ready
and we'll go over to him.
Speaker 1 (01:29:20):
Ah look at that. How you doing, mister Stagic?
Speaker 7 (01:29:24):
How are you the NFL?
Speaker 2 (01:29:25):
I just found out the NFL's rewriting history, So I'm upset.
But they do now, So I don't know if you
saw when our team was forced to play in England,
or in England and Ireland, but in Europe for two weeks,
our kicker the only field goal.
Speaker 1 (01:29:37):
He missed is the one that hit that cable, right.
Speaker 2 (01:29:40):
And so yesterday this is while al Michaels had mentioned
that during Reiker's first kick, this is then what Michael
says during the second kick field.
Speaker 18 (01:29:49):
Goal to touch. The league wants to take my lunch
away because I have said before that Michael's only yus
was hitting up a wire in London. The league says, no, No,
it was an optical illusion.
Speaker 2 (01:30:03):
An optical illusion that had nine camera angles on it
that we could all see a ball redirect its spin
and direction in a moment. And they're gonna pretend it
didn't have You know why, because they were used to
allow any objection to exist to them moving as many
games overseas as possible.
Speaker 7 (01:30:20):
Right, pure They certainly weren't using the force, right, I mean.
Speaker 2 (01:30:24):
That's an option maybe a drone, motor drone or something.
Speaker 7 (01:30:28):
Yeah, it's I don't know.
Speaker 15 (01:30:30):
They just try to get a little too fancy, right,
I mean, don't they have a camera by now that's
got enough of a zoom lens where it doesn't have
to be that close on the field that love on
the field.
Speaker 1 (01:30:41):
I don't know, man, you would think I would think.
Speaker 15 (01:30:43):
They got billions and billions of dollars. I mean, I
got to well, they need trillions, trillions. It will be
the expense of these I got a question.
Speaker 2 (01:30:52):
I was listening to one of your recorded weathers here earlier,
and you see you very ominously said you're gonna love
this week.
Speaker 1 (01:30:59):
You're not gonna like next week? Is the world ending
the way you said it?
Speaker 15 (01:31:04):
Well, well, so we've been on this real great run, right,
it's been beautiful. Everybody's been like, oh, yeah, this is great.
Let's put aside the fire danger and the you know,
it's not worry too much about that, or the drought.
Speaker 7 (01:31:18):
You know, let's not worry about those. It's been great.
The fair has been going on.
Speaker 15 (01:31:21):
Next week does look like we'll have more days of
wet than dry. So that's kind of what I was
getting at. Starting probably a Monday, so you get in
a Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, there's a chance of rain
or showers each day. We'll see how strong this low
gets coming across the lower part of the southeastern US.
It's not Melissa, by the way, which you haven't really
(01:31:41):
talked about, but if you were planning on going to Jamaica,
he ain't. Unfortunately, it might be a Cat four storm
now it's a little sloppy, but hurricane hunters getting in there,
trying to organize and going to become a major hurricane.
But stay away from the US southeast coast as the
way it looks right now, so.
Speaker 6 (01:31:59):
Keep it up on that.
Speaker 15 (01:32:00):
But it is going to be a mess for on
parts of Haiti, maybe the Dominican Republic, but it looks
more like a Jamaica Cuba thing, and then southeastern Bahamas
before it pushes away, and you're gonna love the next
couple of days. Yeah, if you're heading out whatever, it is,
low mid sixties as we go through Sunday, a little
more cloud by Sunday this morning we've got some frost advisories.
Speaker 7 (01:32:22):
It's chili, but.
Speaker 15 (01:32:23):
The overnight lows of being the upper thirties to low
forties next few mornings, and then we'll start to see
those rain chances get in here by Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday,
Thursday of next week does look like at least some
rain at this point. Intensity coverage still a little bit
in question, but we'll get it and.
Speaker 7 (01:32:39):
We need it.
Speaker 1 (01:32:40):
Okay, Well, we'll figure it out on Monday. Talk to
you later.
Speaker 7 (01:32:42):
Thank you.
Speaker 2 (01:32:43):
Yeah, and we'll be right back with Denise Pellegrine. Bloomberg
Update with Denise Pellegreney, Denise, what's happening?
Speaker 19 (01:32:50):
Hey, Well, you know, investors are really casey this Friday,
keeping a very close high on what's happening with trade
issues because President Trump this morning raising the level of
trade tension with the US and Canada.
Speaker 14 (01:33:00):
Again.
Speaker 19 (01:33:01):
We have the President saying untrued social this morning that
Canada is charging US farmers as much as four hundred
percent in tariffs. That's after yesterday the President announced he
was terminating all trade talks with Canada because of that
ad you've probably been talking about, funded by the government
of Ontario and Canada using the voice of former President
Ronald Reagan, with Reagan defending free trade and criticizing tariffs,
(01:33:27):
calling them outdated and all kinds of things. President Trump
says that's not true. He says that Canada edited that
thing incorrectly, and so he's cutting.
Speaker 14 (01:33:35):
Off all contact with them.
Speaker 19 (01:33:38):
If you like to watch YouTube TV you risk losing
ESPN and ABC. A deal between the two companies expires
next week.
Speaker 14 (01:33:46):
They are in.
Speaker 19 (01:33:47):
Talks about rates for the programming a Disney wants to
raise prices for YouTube TV customers, and without an agreement,
Disney content will be removed from YouTube TV and if
it stays unavailable for a long time, be offered a
twenty dollars credit or something like that. Some goodness if
you're sitting on some crypto. Crypto markets have been volatile lately.
(01:34:07):
Now JP Morgan Chase plans to allow big clients to
use their holdings of bitcoin and ether as collateral for
loans by the end of the year, so that sort of,
you know, helps crypto become even more legitimate. It's been
a slow process, but that's a big deal right there.
And casey, have you been buying a lot of Gillette
(01:34:27):
razors or a secret deodorant lately?
Speaker 1 (01:34:30):
No? I have a beer and I don't wear women's.
Speaker 19 (01:34:33):
Deodorant, so ah, well, Procter and Gamble says, a lot
of people are buying this stuff, Gillett raisers, Maybe you
buy those. Company reporting a two percent jump in organic
revenue growth, revenue and earning surpassed expectations, they say led
by growth in the beauty and grooming categories. I was
wondering if people are maybe just stocking up knowing that
(01:34:53):
the prices on that stuff that they know they're going
to use.
Speaker 1 (01:34:56):
Always it's going to go up. That razors are going
to get expensive.
Speaker 14 (01:35:00):
I think they could triple in price.
Speaker 1 (01:35:03):
You can't afford them so well, that explains.
Speaker 2 (01:35:06):
Me, and I can't access them with the store anyway.
That's why I don't. I don't even they're locked up.
I was in a Walmart for thirty minutes one day.
I don't buy regular razors. I just use a quick
little clean up, you know, a little buzzer clipper, and
just keep the beard. I'm not waiting around at Walmart
to pay you thirty dollars for four razors.
Speaker 1 (01:35:26):
Nope.
Speaker 19 (01:35:26):
Yeah, I needed some pipe cleaners to just to clean something,
you know, this little small thing. I couldn't get the
pipe cleaners and couldn't find someone in the store. Pipe
cleaners cost a dollar, not even out well with tariffs.
Maybe they're three bucks now, but I guess I don't
know who knows.
Speaker 1 (01:35:45):
It's just all right.
Speaker 14 (01:35:46):
Yeah, stock futures are higher.
Speaker 19 (01:35:48):
We had lower than expected inflation numbers case he just out.
Speaker 14 (01:35:52):
So that's setting us up for Sea of green this Friday.
Speaker 2 (01:35:55):
Have a great weekend when you get all right, you two, Denise,
Thank you, Denise, Pelly Greeny there from Bloomberg News. So
if you remember earlier in the week the stories that
are coming out about Mangioni, the the you know Luigi there,
the healthcare led shooter dude about his little world tour
he took. So this guy went to Japan, in India
and Thailand, and we had a story the other day
(01:36:17):
when he was in Thailand he got the crap kicked
out of him by seven Thai lady boys, which and
now there's other crazy stuff coming out. By the way,
did we determine how many lady boys would take to
fight a gorilla? We were working on that off theear,
I think yesterday, and one of our listeners even asked
(01:36:38):
Groc and Groc couldn't figure it out. So now, in
addition to that, Mangioni is said to have had incidents
in both India and Japan, including in Japan where and
I am reading this verbatim, Mangioni allegedly procured the services
of prostitutes that were under the management of the yakuza,
(01:36:59):
and then at tem did to pay the prostitute with
premium porn star porn star Pokemon cards?
Speaker 1 (01:37:08):
Is that a thing?
Speaker 2 (01:37:10):
And also you're trying to rip off the yakuza, like
did this guy have a death wish? And then the
final thought is this ross? Correct me if I'm wrong?
Wasn't one of the things we learned about MANGIONI is
because of the injuries he suffered, it didn't work anymore,
you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (01:37:28):
Like back problems or something. Yeah, right, but yeah, and
he like spread down to you, correct he would he
had ed?
Speaker 2 (01:37:35):
What's this dude running around hanging out with prostitutes all
over the world for if it like, wouldn't that be
the most frustrating thing in the world. So I the
whole thing is crazy, man. But yeah, So don't try
to rip off the yakuza when procuring prostitution services, and
(01:37:56):
don't fight thy lady boys.
