Speaker 1 (00:00):
We do enjoy a Friday around these parts. It is
also just a quick reminder, even though it will for
a lot of people go unheated. Uh we are not
on the air next week, Thanksgiving week, normal thing not fired.
Just an f y I or for you and uh
(00:21):
so just uh know that going in or you know,
start rumors about our demise you know whatever, whatever, I
guess floats your boat. And for mister Ross, this is
his last show of the year because baby baby madness
so which we didn't We didn't even know if that
(00:43):
was going to hit earlier.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
How that was gonna I thought it was going to
be early, but nope, that could be maybe next two days,
maybe to day.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
Is your wife's your wife's in the reverse fat bastard phase? Right,
and what is it of the gets better? Get it
in my belly? She wants it out of the right
right right, yeah, like over over it, you know what
I mean? All right, you can come on out. Yeah,
all right. So I'm working on my auto reply email
auto reply. Well I turn that on, but you're not
gonna turn on. Tell I am, I am.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
For the salespeople. It's not for you, It's for sales, Okay.
So they're not going to be like a like eight thirty,
but like here's twenty commercials you have to do when
you've been given notice some sound there, right.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
Yeah, okay, so you get it, so you turn that
on probably in the next few huh okay, all right,
so yeah, with that in mind, yeah, we'll do what
we do. We'll chat with Pete Caller like we do
at eight oh five h see if he's still in
the gulag or whatever they threw everyone in Charlotte in
(01:39):
based on the reporting I'm seeing here, so as we
have that, we got some vandalism going on, we got
tons more bad videos and various things. Apparently an assistant
principal and his brother up in Virginia were just arrested
because they were going They you know, had had some
(01:59):
fun discussions about, hey, what if I have these particular
firearms and I don't even know what they're referring to
with explosive ammunition that will go through Vess and then
let's go to Vegas to meet with like minded individuals
to train on how best to murder the ICE agents. Again,
(02:21):
this is an assistant principle and his brother, but the
principal part's pretty important. These are the shapers of young minds,
literally plotting to murder ice agents allegedly and to even
go with whatever like minded folks means. Is there some
weird like Antifa training thing out there in Vega? I
(02:43):
mean it would make sense. You can go out of
the desert shoe guns all day, nobody cares you. Don't
you really have to go that far out in the desert.
Got a little lawless around there, which don't get me wrong,
I'm fine with. I'm fine with that version of Western
freedom with stuff. Heck, I remember show, I remember growing
(03:06):
up going what's a gun range?
Speaker 3 (03:07):
What is that?
Speaker 1 (03:08):
Oh? You mean that part of the property we go
shoot on, or any public piece of public property we
go shoot on, or anywhere we really kind of want
to shoot because we're not lunatics. See the problem is
these guys allegedly are lunatics. So they were going to
avail themselves of that. Yeah, allegedly planning to fly to Vegas.
(03:28):
And by the way, do you know how they got busted?
According to the reporting, And I don't know if it's
the totality of it. They're sitting in like a diner
openly discussing it, where people can hear it allegedly and
people are like, I don't like the sound of that.
I'm going to contact law enforcement, get you out. Nobody
minds their own business when you're plotting the murder of
ice agents, I guess, allegedly, And that's how they got
(03:54):
That's how they got busted.
Speaker 4 (03:56):
There.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
So all right, few other things too. We got some
cancelations on the show. Some things we got to learn. Hey, Ross,
what is your presence under the tree theory? Excuse me? Uh?
Learning boxes? Under the learning tree policy? At your house?
Do you guys open only on Christmas Day? Is there?
Speaker 3 (04:16):
Do you get?
Speaker 1 (04:17):
You get like a freebe early? Some people do the
Christmas evening under the learning tree.
Speaker 2 (04:22):
I don't. I don't know what the learning tree are
the Christmas tree, I'm sry.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
No no, no, no, no no, it's the learning tree, the thing
with the ornaments on and the lights. Right, yeah, that
would be the Christmas tree, the learning tree. Okay, so
what kind of learning And I'm sorry, the Governor of
Wisconsin has decided that they're not Christmas trees anymore, they're
learning trees. So we're going learning tree this year to
(04:52):
help h commemorate people who have helped children learn and stuff.
So do you guys, do you get a do you
get a learning pack? Do you get a learning pack early?
Or do you wait for all the learning packs on
the morning on learning morning night?
Speaker 2 (05:08):
Right, So we gather around the Christmas tree and it's
it's in the morning on Christmas Day. You can't don't
do the day before or the night before. And we
don't do that.
Speaker 1 (05:17):
Okay, all right, so one one one learning present opening, uh,
under the learning tree all at one time.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
Now, when I was a kid, we would all get
under the Christmas tree on Christmas morning and my dad
would hand out the gifts one at a time. So
he would be at the base of the tree, the
Christmas tree and uh with the Christmas ornaments, you know,
and the angel.
Speaker 3 (05:39):
At the top.
Speaker 1 (05:41):
Yeah, yeah, oh, and you know he would pick up
like say a package would be like not the learning Fairy,
like you know, this one for Karen, and she would
pass it to Karen and she would open it watch
you know, yeah, and then we'd take our turn. The
way we do it in our house is the way
that Marky did it growing up where uh like, so
you get up and then you you get all your
packages and put them all in front of you, right
(06:03):
out from underneath the Christmas tree with the Angel and
the Christmas ornaments, and then the jury next to it, you know,
with Jesus, Mary and the Wise Man and uh, you
know all that stuff, you know, the Nativity scene, I believe,
you know, celebrating the birth of our Lord and Savior. Anyway,
we we put up all the packages, you know, everybody
gathers them, and then one at a time you go
around the room opening up a package. Oh okay, yeah,
(06:25):
so I mean there's different ways to do it.
Speaker 3 (06:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
No, that's completely different than the way we did it. Man,
So what would happen for us on learning morning?
Speaker 3 (06:32):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (06:33):
Is all of the learning.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
Talking about Christmas Morning.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
I've been instructed, I've been instructed by the Governor of Wisconsin,
Tony Evers, that it is a learning tree. These are
learning packages. This is learning. It's a learning day. And
so we're not using the sea word anymore. And I
guess the thing at the tops of learning Faerry, I
don't know so because we're doing this apparently we're doing
(06:56):
this again this year because he wanted to commemorate, they
put up the big learning tree at the Wisconsin State capital.
And so as people put a press release out reminding
people that it's a learning tree. So I'm just falling
in line, comrade. But no, we had a very we
had a very different strategy where I was growing up.
So what would happen is they get all the presents
that were under you know, the learning packages, and they
(07:19):
would uh dip them in honey and blood marrow, right,
and then they would strew them across the north pasture
right right as the critters were getting up. And then
you had to you know, you put on your snow
gear and go out there, and you had to acquire
your packages while dodging the various bears, packs of wolves,
(07:40):
and random other things that want to kill you. And
then once you've collected whatever you're able to collect, fought
off whatever you're able to fight off, and return to
the Learning Tree home base. Then and only then were
able to open presents, which you know generally just consisted
of lists of chores and stuff inside because they were
raised on grit. But yeah, that was fun. Yeah, buns,
(08:03):
as you get there for the wolves do they're very uh,
they they gang up on you. It's a whole thing,
very unfortunate.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
While you were doing that, I wrote my auto reply.
Oh good, now set up to be sent out if
anybody sends me an email. Okay, just to cover my
own ask. I'm done.
Speaker 1 (08:19):
Yeah, it's six fifteen.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
Good for you, save me an email.
Speaker 3 (08:25):
Save it work?
Speaker 1 (08:28):
Hold on?
Speaker 2 (08:30):
You know, maybe it didn't because you know what, all right,
I'm gonna send you.
Speaker 1 (08:32):
I'm gonna send you the learning some learning tree.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
Thanks so much. I'm gonna tweet that out.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
Yeah, learning tree facts for you. Okay, Hey, hang in,
you do you do?
Speaker 5 (08:42):
You do?
Speaker 4 (08:42):
You do?
Speaker 1 (08:45):
It's a link to the learning tree facts. You'll send
these over to Ross so you can tweet them out
to you so you guys can come correct on this
with the you know, with the learning the learning tree.
Speaker 2 (08:56):
I don't understand why they're calling it. Maybe already said,
but why are they calling it the learning tree.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
I'll tell you this is the second thing I think
that that.
Speaker 2 (09:02):
Is like super dumb.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
This is to your show. Oh. I can already see
the little red bubble next to your face there, which
means I'm gonna get an auto reply.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
Yeah, it is all dumb.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
I told you that. Really, the dumbest thing was back
when I was in Minnesota, they had one of the
big counties up there decided that it was going to
be season seasons something, or they just made up a
whole thing. According to Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers, the theme
this year of bringing the Evergreen tree inside the state
Capitol and decorating it is to commemorate what he calls
(09:36):
the learning Tree. That's right, this year's theme is the
learning Tree. So we make sure to send in your
homemade ornaments celebrating the heroes who help our kids grow
and learn. Send them in by I guess this well,
basically towards this weekend, and then they'll get him up
on the learning tree. All right, So I just got
an auto reply. Let's go check that bad boy out.
(10:00):
Uh okay, that's nice. As I'm out on paternity leave
plus vacation. I'll return on January fifth. It's a boy.
Happy Thanksgiving, Honkkah, Christmas and New Year. You forgot Learning Day.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
Ross, Yeah, well you know it's too late now I
can't fix it. It is what it is.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
It's very easy. You want to go over to the
file tab right and then they'll be apparently there and
the batteries on my keyboard died.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
Oh just a second ago. So I mean I can't,
I can't.
Speaker 1 (10:36):
Well, I remember I told you where the fresh batteries are.
Somebody there's somebody broke in and stole just the batteries sure,
out of the closet with prizes. It's a dang shame
they would just take batteries instead of the prizes.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
Who would do that?
Speaker 1 (10:51):
The grinch? I don't know. I don't know. That's at
a very good point. So anyway, Happy learning day coming up.
Six seventeen. Hang on, yeah, look at this ross. I
know you just finished putting a wing on your house,
but have you considered selling and upgrading? So there's a
I'm just looking at a real estate listing that kind
(11:11):
of went viral. All right, so here we go. This
is up in upon Long Island in New York. Twenty
four bedrooms, thirty eight baths, forty five thousand square feet.
It's set on twenty one acres, has about a half
mile of shoreline and a seventy five hundred gallon secret
(11:31):
shark tank. What yes, wait, shore line, it's got shoreline?
Actually no, no, no, what's about the shark tank? So
they have like a trap door doctor evil shark tank
or one. I don't know, but the way you wear
it like that, I kind of think so. And look,
if you're rocking a twenty four bedroom house, I think
you would probably you're rich enough where you'd want the
option to drop your enemies into the shark tank. Easy cleanup, Right,
(11:57):
problem solved. I don't know if it comes with the sharks.
You kind of wanted to you kind of wanted to
come with the sharks because now they kind of understand
their dig So did you have you considered upgrading to
the secret to Evil doctor lair with the shark tank
in the trap door.
Speaker 2 (12:12):
And being on the shoreline is really convenient because you
can just float the victims up to your house.
Speaker 1 (12:16):
Oh that's a very good point. Yeah, where no one
can hear them scream. Can we agree that you around
twenty one acres?
Speaker 2 (12:21):
Can we agree that somebody has probably like been murdered
in this house?
Speaker 1 (12:24):
This is a murder yees? Yeah yeah yeah, yeah. Hey,
well one person.
Speaker 2 (12:29):
Please, and you're saying it's Taylor Swift's old house or uh.
Speaker 1 (12:33):
You know what could be? Doesn't say it's not right,
So that's important there, And Taylor Swift, this is like
in the realm of what she could afford.
Speaker 2 (12:41):
So I think if sharks would be like so bedazzled,
you know what I mean, Like.
Speaker 1 (12:46):
Oh, like literally sharks with the vampire wherewolf thing have
sparkle sharks. Yes, although that would be slightly more terrifying,
wouldn't it. It would be you just plunged out of the
evil uh you know, the evil layer. Now you're in
the water, but you don't know what's all in the
water with you, but you have a pretty good idea
because you're like, ah, this guy's evil. It's trapped or
(13:08):
so clearly something's in this water.
Speaker 2 (13:10):
And you're trying to like see through the water, but
you should just see like some some shiny stuff and
you're like, let's.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
See, Uh, what's what's the movie they made about the
moon of Jupiter. There's a horror movie they made where
basically there's like these glowy underwater evil sea beasts that
are eating people.
Speaker 2 (13:28):
It's tremors.
Speaker 1 (13:29):
No, No, they did it. They did it. They did
a thing with one of the moons of Jupiter or
Saturn or something, doesn't matter. But the youuld kind of
be like that where they because you see the light
and that's what the terrifying thing is there? Only in
this case, it's just light reflecting off the be dazzling,
and you're just like, what am I in a kid's cartoon?
(13:52):
I'm about to get murdered by shaw I'm getting murdered
by sharks, right, And then it catches up with you
and you know what was up? But uh, yeah, oh
that's weird. None of our listeners call it a learning
tree either, don't know, don't know. But he's the governor
of Wisconsin and you're not. So there's that. Surely he
(14:16):
knows stuff? Or why would they make him the governor
of Wisconsin? Up there? You didn't think of that? Did you? Never?
Never even stop to consider it? What a shame?
Speaker 3 (14:26):
All right?
Speaker 1 (14:27):
Eight eight eight nine three four seven eight seven four.
You want to be on the show, That's how you
can do that. So one of the fujis it's the
fuji you don't know for most people, prass Mitchell, is
that how you say his name? I think it's I
think it's Haitians. It's probably a pronunciation.
Speaker 2 (14:48):
Wycleff. Wasn't Laurence Hill?
Speaker 1 (14:50):
Part of the Fuji's Lauren Hill wy clefft Jean And
then this this guy. Okay, yeah, this is this guy
has been since to fourteen years in prison for a
legal camp paying contributions to Barack Obama. But this is
more than just the guy. You know, uh went over
the individual contributor limit. What this guy was convicted this is.
(15:12):
It's actually really crazy because like he wasn't even bribing,
trying to bribe Obama on his own, on his own, behalf.
I have all the questions. Oh wait, hold on, somebody's
questioning the learning tree. Governor Wisconsin says it's a learning tree,
not not a sea word tree. So I guess that's canceled.
(15:35):
I don't make the rules people. Let's see. Oh and
then the house with the with the shark tank. But
he's like, will the lasers have would the sharks be
dazzled or or they have freaking lasers on their head? Sir?
If you have to ask whether they're gonna have lasers,
you probably can't afford it. I think people in this
(15:55):
bracket would understand whether the lasers are included or not.
It's just not polite to get into this.
Speaker 2 (16:00):
No, that sounds more like an ill, temperate sea bass
sort of guy.
Speaker 1 (16:03):
Yeah, you sound poor, sir.
Speaker 2 (16:06):
I mean, which is fine, it's fine.
Speaker 1 (16:08):
No, it's not no, no, no, no, no, dang it all right.
Murder shark pits in your own home are a storied tradition.
I don't know if you ross. You remember George Washington
had one of these mount vernon a lot of people
right there on the Potomac River. He also would float
his victims up there.
Speaker 4 (16:26):
You know.
Speaker 2 (16:26):
I saw that in the new Ken Burns documentary.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
Yeah, it's right next to the dative. Americans gave Thomas
Jefferson the idea for Congress. What you think I'm joking.
Speaker 2 (16:40):
I hope you are.
Speaker 1 (16:41):
I'm not joking. Shut up. Yeah, I'll find the cliffs.
Speaker 2 (16:45):
Oh man, they should have probably done that, then, you know, yeah,
they should have done that. They of these things were like,
you have an idea, right, and then somebody comes along
and steals your idea. It's happened to me.
Speaker 1 (16:55):
They're saying that the US Congress was based off the
Iroquoi Nation, which was the six bands up and up
in New York area there. And then they said and
then they said, he's, he's, he's he borrowed their words,
which is ironic because I don't know if you know
this there were no words in a written form. They
had no written language. But yeah, apparently conceptually everything was peace,
(17:20):
love and joy, and then they just we just lifted that.
Speaker 2 (17:23):
Can you imagine if Ken Burns made the Civil War
documentary now that he's like this far woke because he's gone,
that guy's gone.
Speaker 1 (17:28):
Yeah, yeah, he's sixteen nineteen for days. Yep. I yeah,
would have been a shame man, because that's still one
of the best series that's out there. You know, it's funny.
I was gonna go watch. I was gonna I literally
was gonna just try to watch the Burns thing, and
then somehow the algorithm fed me the really well done
(17:51):
Grant fourth part on on Ulysses s Grant have Did
you ever watched that? It's very well done. No, some
prime video. By the way, it's a four part series
on Grant. That's that. I would say, watch that, And
so then I just started rewatching that. I had watched
it already. I got like two episodes in just to
fill the time. Anyway, I'm I'm I'm off somewhere else here.
(18:11):
I'll find the other thing with your coination if I can. Again,
But let me read you this headline from the Washington Post,
what's likely to be slaughtered? Gay sheep find refuge and
a bit of glamor. Now I'm gonna throw my I'm
gonna throw my standard question on the gay animals, thing
(18:32):
that we always do because usually it's in a zoo setting.
I'll get to that here in just a moment, but
let me read you the subheadline. Grinder partnered with Rainbow
Wool and designer Michael Schmidt to create a fashion show
featuring clothing made entirely from the wool of gay sheep.
(18:53):
How do you know? How ross? Do you have any?
Do you have any wool wear? Sock? Uh? Maybe some
Filson stuff that's more of a Western thing, that's good stuff. Uh, sweaters, vest,
do you have any? Do you have anything wool?
Speaker 2 (19:08):
I probably have some socks somewhere.
Speaker 1 (19:10):
Yeah, dark Do you know if the wool is gay
or I don't.
Speaker 2 (19:12):
I don't. I never read the tag?
Speaker 1 (19:13):
Maybe and then how do you know? And then can
you have knockoff?
Speaker 5 (19:18):
Like?
Speaker 1 (19:18):
Uh? You know? Because apparently they charge of premium for it,
so but it's a thing. Designer Michael Schmidt, best known
for his work in metal, has made chainmail dresses for
share jewelry for collaborators with Blah blah blah Dosia Katina
turn or whatever, but is also an avid knitter, so
(19:38):
he jumped at the chance to do a collection woven
entirely from the wool of gay sheep. Again, how do
you know? And then and also could you like, all right,
so if you're gonna if that's a premium, how do
you certify that the sheep are gay? And what if
(19:59):
I have have some sheep that I think are gay
or maybe just you know, they were in college and
some stuff happened and they were curious.
Speaker 2 (20:09):
Like does Zach.
Speaker 1 (20:10):
I don't know if that counts. But it's a thing
right there, all right, So I'm trying to figure out
the angle on this thing. So here's my usual refrain
from when we start assigning human traits to animals, because
(20:32):
the animals do stuff for animal reasons, right, There's not
a lot of deep thought there, especially when you get
into slaughter animals or range animals like sheep or cows.
I told you nine ranching. Once you get out of
like the three big transitionary times, which is calving just branding,
and which is rotating, or when you're clearing stocks you're
(20:54):
selling cow cap, you know, in the fall. Once you
get out of that, ninety percent of ranchings just mitigating stupid.
You get up everywhere you're like, all right, what did
one of these dumbasses do today? And then you're like,
I never thought of that. I can't believe you did.
And then and then you work with that or you
fix that, and you know it could be somebody's got there,
(21:18):
somebody chewed through a large, pale, large feed bucket and
it's now wearing it as a hat but can't figure
out how to get it off. And now they're running
around the field taking weight off and get ready to
injure themselves. There's your assignment for the morning. So I
just don't know. But when you're assigning human characteristics, why
do we only sign the assign the characteristics that we
(21:39):
kind of want?
Speaker 2 (21:41):
Right?
Speaker 1 (21:42):
So you're being a loveyw thing like, look, these two
adopted this other baby, and I'm like, did they they
get the paperwork done? They go to the meetings with CPS?
What do you talk? Or this this animal's gay? Why
don't you assign evil treat uh traits?
Speaker 4 (22:01):
Right?
Speaker 1 (22:02):
Because if you have for every sheep, you're gonna find
her penguin, which is where this usually happens. So they're like, oh,
they formed this bond in this relationship, and now they're
adoptive parents. Why is there Why is there not a
terrorist penguin? Why is there not an ant to Why
is there not a penguin sitting around stewing in his
own misery because the other penguins don't talk to him
(22:22):
thinking about coming back and shooting up the penguin school.
That'll show them they're gonna learn. How come that? How
come that penguins not brewing over there? And you're assigning
human thought processes and characteristics to it? Because as surely
as the one exists, the terror, the terror wank terror
(22:43):
penguin probably exists too, the one that's a spousal abuser,
drinks too much, come home, flips out over innocuous questions.
She she says she's gonna leave, She never does. Her
family's concerned. How come that drama is not playing out?
Why do we just get gay sheep and adopt a
(23:04):
pair of penguins? I just want to I just want
to know. Are we only allowed We're only allowed to
sign what we consider we view as some sort of
positive trade, or were we ready to recognize that some animals,
you know, want ghod the tiny little penguin suicide vests
or something. So no, I reject your headline, but it's
(23:28):
probably a really good marketing angle, and you'll sell like
great twelve hundred dollars slippers or something made out of wool,
and for that I will be eternally jealous, because capitalism,
all right, six forty three? Hang on, Yeah, the shoe
bomber and the butt bomber will always always be some
(23:51):
og material around these parts. In fact, just for you know,
whats and giggles. Let's see if I have the old
butt bomber uh parody song because it is a it's
a crowd favorite. He ah, would you look at that?
How exciting for everyone involved.
Speaker 6 (24:13):
I put the bomb up my butt and I cannot
like it.
Speaker 1 (24:16):
Let him head it off to du bite.
Speaker 6 (24:18):
I just push it all in and I patiently, waked
and wearing it that the nates. It goes boom, Do
not sneeze our coffree maturely it go bow up, loop
it up. When I am from belving the discomforted bevering.
But don't call me an ignore ramos because I'm gonna
be famous, old bitch worth it. I'm not joking. There
better be some virgin wires. Are bookullas, Yes, mulllus. Just
(24:39):
stick this up my butt and let's make it, make it,
make it, make yes, sure, put my butt.
Speaker 1 (24:44):
Oh never too early for that. So and I also
like what I liked about the butt armor dude too
is he wanted to clarify that it wasn't actually in there.
It was more of a diaper. It's he didn't want
to be exploded into him million pieces, and also accused
of sticking explosives up his.
Speaker 2 (25:05):
Uh, listen, I'm a terrorist, but I'm not gay.
Speaker 1 (25:07):
Yeah. But by the way, I don't know if you
guys know this our favorite theory on this show. Uh,
we've kind of tapered off, but back when we were
getting new terrorist faces on the regular is how often
a story would then follow up their arrest about how
super gay they were, and it was like, are they
or is this just how you really drive the screws
(25:29):
into a terrorist, right, He's.
Speaker 2 (25:32):
Just like, that's one thing that's really going to piss
him off, you know, not like the hole you're gonna
blow people up things, but that they're gay. So let's
say they're gay, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (25:39):
Yeah, so we think that we think it's a psyop
theory because she had a whole big string of that man.
So I don't I don't know, but oh good lord.
We do have arika pressor audio still sitting.
Speaker 2 (25:54):
Around it just sound effects and stuff like that.
Speaker 1 (25:57):
But oh dang it. Okay, dude, there's a story. We'll
get to it here in the next hour. There's a
story in the stack. And it's like, it's like, I
can't tell you how often I'm scanning for stories, and
all of a sudden, I'm like, am I having deja vu?
What's happening? And we deja vued on the air compressor
story and it's horrible, and we'll tell you about it
(26:19):
coming up here in just a few minutes. I got
to give you the details though. Of the fujis dude
Prass or Prass, Mitchell or mckel or however you say
his name, he's the fuji. You probably don't know by name.
You know, you know Lauren and you know why cleft.
But anyway, so he was the third and he's going
(26:40):
to prison for fourteen years. Yeah, Grammy, Wayne Rapper Pras
mckel of the Fuji sentenced to yesterday to fourteen years
in prison for a case in which he was convicted
of funneling money to President Barack Obama's re election campaign.
And it was foreign money. And what's kind of interesting
(27:01):
is why who was funding it and what they were
hoping to accomplish. So the fifty two year old was
convicted back in April, so they just had sentencing of
ten counts, including conspiracy and acting as an unregistered agent.
In fact, at his trial, one of the people who
testified about the scheme was Leonardo DiCaprio, because you know,
(27:26):
clearly this guy's he's submitting money. He's got some high
profile friends being a member of the Fujis, so you
get it, as well as former age Jeff Sessions, an
interesting witness lineup. The Justice Barn prosecutor said that the
sentencing guidelines could have netted him life in prison. His
(27:47):
attorney won it three years, so they'll probably do some
appealing there. But yeah, so here's how it went down.
According to prosecutors. The Brooklyn native whose parents immigrated to
US from Haiti, who was a founding member of the
Fuji's got it, got it, Michel fell in with a guy.
(28:08):
He's a Malaysian billionaire named Low Tak Joe who was
known as Jolo get it, Yolo Jolo. It's very hip
was who was being investigated. Oh, by the way, this
is also the dude. This is why Leonardo DiCaprio really
(28:28):
got drugg in on this.
Speaker 3 (28:29):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (28:29):
This is the guy who also was one of the
primary financiers of Wolf of Wall Street. Now Low is
a fugitive has maintained his innocence. However, as part of
getting the Justice Department to look away from him, he
wanted to get it. He wanted to create a narrative
that he, in some way, shape or form, had these
connections with Barack Obama. So he tasked this dude who
(28:52):
had a relationship with Obama to basically be his you know,
his agent, so to speak. And what they were hoping
to accomplish. Listen to this. Lowe's motivation for giving the
dude money, the Fuji's guy money to donate was not
so that he could achieve some policy objective. Instead, Lowe
simply wanted to be able to obtain a photograph with
(29:13):
himself and then President and then President Obama. According to
attorneys there. I don't know. Maybe he thought he could
just show people the photo and they'd leave him alone,
which maybe I don't know, is some of the corruption
we're seeing within the DOJ that's been alleged. Maybe that's
the case, and this dude was more than happy to help.
(29:35):
And you know so in addition, but now when you
got foreign money coming in and you're lying about where
you're going to catch a bunch of charges, let's see,
there was one other little factoid in here I thought
was pretty crazy. Oh there it is. So back in August,
the judge rejected a request for a new trial. So
(29:59):
this guy asked for a t while after he was convicted,
a neutral after he was convicted because of ineffective counsel,
claiming that his defense attorney's use of a AI program
to do the closing arguments was not a good idea.
What so you used a generative AI program to handle
(30:25):
I guess in part, the closing arguments for the case
in which you were convicted, and then you think, well,
they can overturn it because that was a bad idea.
Like every time I've seen AI used in a court setting,
it's kind of been a bad idea. Remember the lawyer
who turned an entire brief with citations and cases that
never existed, and the judge it's like, none of these
(30:47):
are real cases. Because the guy never did the follow
up with the AI that you sometimes have to do.
He'd be like, is this real? It's like and it'll
tell you no, I made him up. This idiot lawyer
never thought, oh, well, you know, maybe I should, Maybe
I should at least verify these citations independently of the AI.
Now I just turned in the assignment, so I'm not
(31:08):
surprised that using AI as your U as part of
your defense, let alone your closing argument, is probably not
a good idea. But it's still an idea that you made,
and it doesn't sound like it was wildly ineffective. I
think that just came across as kind of weird, which
would probably be the case for most most people. All Right,
(31:29):
eight eight eight nine three four seven eight seven four,
you want to get on the show. Reminder, we got
Pete Calender. He's coming up at eight oh five, the
air compressor story. Because apparently everybody people need put on notice,
they need warned so they don't do dumb stuff. This
is why you know, we have the warning labels that
(31:52):
we have, you know, but don't use this iron While
you're still wearing the clothes, right, you're like, how did
that end up on there? And then you realize some
idiot it right. I just had a thought while I
was listening to the top of the hour dues there,
and the gist of it basically was like, all right,
spokesperson for ICE said that the Operation Charlotte Webb is done.
(32:15):
What if it's not? What if they're all just in
the bushes? I mean, think about it. Right, you put
the press release out, You're like, all right, we're gone,
everybody come out now, and they're all just like scoped
up in a in a gilly suit, just waiting.
Speaker 2 (32:31):
We're going home.
Speaker 1 (32:32):
Yeah, we're gonna be Yeah, we're really We're in virgin
yuh burro. Yeah you're not there.
Speaker 2 (32:45):
It's like when you play hide and seek with your kids,
all right, and you walk into the room and you
know where they are, but you see the same thing.
You're like, oh, where could Lincoln be? I don't know,
I'm believing I'm so and then like you stay in
the room and then he walks out from behind the
curtain you're like, oh, I gotcha.
Speaker 1 (32:59):
You're so I know you're four, but I got you. Yeah, yeah,
I don't know if it's like that, Yeah, we're we're
totally gone. You know who I was thinking of too
when all this was going on. We remember that story
of the dude in Durham who made everyone mad because
he has like a knockoff Border patrol truck paint job
on it. I can't remember what it says, like, it's
(33:19):
something like it's something like, uh, it's something kind of
salacious where it's I can't remember what it is. If
it's over women. I don't know if it's booby patrol
or what it is. But I just remember like the
existence of that truck was sending people and they were
freaking out on social media. What an interesting week that
dude must have had, right was driving around already got
(33:43):
this knockoff thing that is you know, you realize that
once you read it, but it does the color pattern,
you know, with the green stripe, and everything looks similar.
I met that dude had a very eventful week just
on his daily commute.
Speaker 2 (33:55):
I always thought it'd be so fun to have like
one of those old retired police car like the old
Crown vis. You know that they'd look like you.
Speaker 1 (34:01):
Have the spotlight on the window there or on the
side merea.
Speaker 2 (34:05):
And still sort of the painting that they don't you know,
you don't fix. It's just the old black.
Speaker 1 (34:09):
Buddy had one. They bought it. It was an old
They bought an auction to make you strip all the
stuff off of it. But if you see it at
night behind you, you just think a cop.
Speaker 2 (34:16):
It would just be fun, just because I'm sure you
would see it all the time. You'd be driving behind
somebody and suddenly they slow up because they think you're
a cop. But let alone like having like an ice
patrol van or something, or or you're putting yourself in
danger now because people are well, yeah.
Speaker 1 (34:30):
Remember our listeners who we had a couple of different
listeners who have SUVs who were just trying to like
sit there and eat a sandwich in the parking lot
and people were coming up with filling them.
Speaker 2 (34:40):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (34:40):
So I guess it depends on how interesting you want
your day to be. You go from there, But yeah,
I don't know. So they say they're done with the
Operation Charlotte Web, But I think if everyone's just hiding
into bushes today that also would be a rather interesting story. So,
(35:01):
uh well, we'll see how it goes anyway, all right,
seven oh nine here on the KCO Day radio program.
Let's see here, dude, do do do do? All right?
I guess we'll go ahead and do this story. And
I shouldn't have to do this story. I should have
had to do this story once when it happened quite
(35:23):
a few years ago. And I'm sure it's happy prior
to that. But I only should have had to do
this story once. It's not a funny prank now it
can be now, don't get me wrong. Shop pranks are funny,
and I don't care whether you work in a shop
and your adult life or if you really honed your
craft in high school with zero hour welding and wood shop,
(35:47):
uh and then advanced wood shop and uh advanced welding,
which we're you know, we're in the ag building. They
were fun. You know, if you've never dropped a hot
rod down the back of somebody's coveralls, you have haven't lived.
If you haven't made pipe bombs with the schools, is
settling to blow up the gravel pile? What are you
doing with your life? Shop? Pranks. However, there's one prank
(36:09):
in particular that is funny, but only from a distance,
and that is the air compressor. Right inevitably, what would happen,
especially at the end of you know, the end of class,
everyone kind of walks over the air compressure. They want
to blow off everything, and whoever's up front, whoever gets
that hose first, if they want to mess with somebody,
they may turn around and fire it right at you. Hilarious. However,
(36:35):
when you take the hose of the air pressure and
the joke is to stick it right into the backside
of your buddy, you might murder them. As has happened before,
as has happened again. Yes, a teenage wood shop apprentice
died after his coworkers inserted a high pressure air hose
(36:57):
up his rectum as a prank, which led to the
young man's intestines exploding. So don't do that, okay.
Speaker 7 (37:12):
No, Now, these guys they went quite a bit further,
because we've had incidents where somebody it just happened, they
just aimed it just right, and I don't know if
there was enough pass through and whatever they were wearing.
Speaker 1 (37:27):
In this case, they actually physically they pantsed them first
for I guess the full prank effect before all too
accurately getting that thing right where it needed to be.
I didn't know they were aiming to actually get it
right on, spot on, but it worked out that way.
(37:48):
And by the way, it took it five days to
succumb to his injuries. Now I had to look this up.
Is so it was just as recently as twenty twenty three,
almost in exactly the same incident happened, in this case
a sixteen year old where was this was in India?
Back in twenty twenty three, I saw something. Oh, don't laugh,
(38:15):
we just don't laugh.
Speaker 2 (38:22):
Ross.
Speaker 1 (38:22):
What do you think the name of the shop where
the twenty twenty three incident happened was, Oh, Man, I
don't know, Pooner, Pooper, flower and food.
Speaker 3 (38:32):
Shut up.
Speaker 1 (38:33):
I'm reading it right here. That is not a place
that's a play in India. It's a place that's a
made up name. I bet they changed the name, probably
not called that anymore. Back in twenty seventeen, a seventeen
year old car wash worker in the US had the
same thing happened to him, What are we doing? And
(38:55):
another incident in twenty fifteen in Italy. This is a
known commodity. So if I could, if I could convey
one message to you today, so that everybody can make
it to the holidays. Do not shove the air compressor
hose in your buddy's backside.
Speaker 2 (39:19):
The more you know, it's a prank, you know what
I mean, It's just a presk. It's just a prank.
Speaker 1 (39:26):
Wait, why do you have an air compressor?
Speaker 2 (39:28):
And you gotta come over see what I.
Speaker 1 (39:29):
Gotta No, no, no, I'm not going out because you
got the chickens in there, and.
Speaker 2 (39:34):
You know, you know like jokes. You're not a joke guy.
Speaker 1 (39:37):
Why do you you know what is the use of
an air compressor in a radio studio? It's so loud,
no sense of humor, man, That is not that is
we We make these rooms to be soundproof, and you
put the noisiest contraption you could find in there after
the chickens. Why don't you hit the chickens with the
(39:58):
thing and see what happens. But dude, I had I
had chickens in my backyard yesterday. I don't know if
you're right.
Speaker 2 (40:08):
No, no, no, So we have new neighbors to the
left of us, and they're amazing. Okay, Jennifer and Bryan. Right,
they moved in and they've been doing a lot of
work in the new house, and like they put sod
down and they've been putting like they're taking down like
the chain fence and putting in like a nice like
privacy fence.
Speaker 3 (40:19):
Right.
Speaker 1 (40:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (40:20):
So but to the left of them is Fong. She's
a Vietnamese immigrant and she has three lovely sons and
two of them in like college now. One of them
joined the Marine Corps, which I think is a fantastic
story because she's a Vietnamese immigrant. My father was in Vietnam,
and I think it's great. But anyway, they took down
the fence, like the chain link fence that was around
their yard, so the one that was next to Fang's.
And then next hours and Fong apparently owned some chickens.
Speaker 1 (40:43):
So yes, wait, wait, hold on, a Vietnamese woman owns
range chickens.
Speaker 2 (40:46):
She's fantastic, She's wonderful.
Speaker 1 (40:48):
I'm not picking on her. It's just that that's like,
that's absolutely a thing.
Speaker 2 (40:51):
But I went out yesterday to put the rake in
the side, you know, the closet out seeing because I'm
done with the rake for now anyway. And I'm out
there and I'm talking to Jennifer. I look over and
it's like this big like black chicken or whatever what
like a like a bird. Well I don't even like chicken.
Speaker 1 (41:05):
I don't know, And yeah, I don't know, you know,
I've never might have been a buzzard like it was
like and I'm like, what is that. She's like, oh,
it's fun's chicken. And I'm like that, I'm like, she
has a chicken. She's like yeah, she is, like she
had two of them, but a hawk came up and
like took the other one. Oh no, And I'm like, what.
Speaker 2 (41:21):
Are you gonna do? And she's like, I know, I
need to get get it back to Fong's yard because
it's just going back and forth to our retaining wall
back to like Fong's yard. And I'm like, you're gonna
be like Rocky chasing the chicken in that movie, you know,
like you.
Speaker 1 (41:32):
Know you're is it an aggressive chicken or I don't know.
Speaker 2 (41:34):
We did and Markey came out. It was like a
big ordeal like market come, there's like a chicken in
the bag. And she's like, no way. We're all back
there looking at it.
Speaker 3 (41:40):
You're not.
Speaker 1 (41:40):
You're making your nine hundred weeks president pregnant. Chase chickens?
Speaker 2 (41:45):
All right, will we hear?
Speaker 4 (41:46):
Like?
Speaker 1 (41:46):
Woman, get out of here and handle this.
Speaker 2 (41:48):
We heard it induces labor, so we get over with
So chase the chicken.
Speaker 1 (41:56):
You only is it suspense? Did you catch the chicken?
Get the chicken?
Speaker 3 (42:01):
Rock?
Speaker 1 (42:02):
Did you grease the chicken up? That's what you want
to do?
Speaker 2 (42:05):
The baby rock, you know what I mean?
Speaker 1 (42:08):
She's like, oh my water broke. You're like, you still
don't have the chicken. I think the assignment was clear.
Speaker 2 (42:15):
Anyway, that was fun. Okay, you don't see that every day,
you know what I mean?
Speaker 1 (42:19):
No, I guess the last you live on a chicken farm?
Speaker 3 (42:21):
Right?
Speaker 1 (42:22):
Yeah? Now, did you that when he caught the chickens?
You stick your air compressor hose the exploded the chicken.
Speaker 2 (42:33):
I don't know if she ever caught the chicken. I
hope she did, because her, that poor woman, she lost
the first one to a hawk, just came down and
just took it.
Speaker 1 (42:41):
Just happened to my friend's Pomeranian, and I happened to
be there that day, so I had to go on
a pomeranian search. That I knew was fruitless, and I
had to pretend like I didn't know it was fruitless,
even though I'm like, you're not seeing that pomeranian ever again,
there was a whole ass eagle that took that thing.
All right, I'll look for your look for your dog
(43:03):
for two hours, even though we hadn't eaten yet, and
I was still we're gonna eat right when we got there. No,
we're on. We're on a pomeranian hawk search or eagle searchs.
Got put it down, putting it down.
Speaker 3 (43:16):
I'm a big joke guy.
Speaker 1 (43:18):
Yeah, it's called comedy relief man Ross, funny guy Hayes. Yeah, no,
it's uh dangerous all right, seven eighteen hang on, that
is so funny. All right, So let's get some calls.
And I was not aware of this story, and it
apparently just happened in the last twenty four hours. So
uh well I did call it up. So we'll all
get educated together. Uh, Robert, you're up first, Go right ahead.
Speaker 8 (43:44):
Yeah, have a Swaying County the North Carolina Highway Patrol.
Just h they's a story from yesterday where a cat
actually completely went through a moving vehicles windshield because it
was dropped by an eagle.
Speaker 1 (43:56):
Yeah, it happened near Bryson City. I'm looking at it
right now on Highway seventy four up there in Swain County.
Troopers said the driver is able to pull the car
over the shoulder was not injured. Uh, it's not clear
whether the cat was already dead before it hit the windshield,
but it sure as hell was after, I guess.
Speaker 8 (44:13):
So, yeah, they the birds, they'll get get the chickens,
for sure. I had two or three chickens that just
kind of disappeared.
Speaker 5 (44:20):
Yea.
Speaker 1 (44:21):
For my property, Yeah, we had to, like we had
some chickens, and so we had basically you had like
the coup and then we had probably about the size
of like two parking spots of outdoor area where you
just had chicken wires like a ceiling, but everything was
open around it. And if the chickens would stay under there,
they were fine. But every now and then one of
(44:42):
the chickens be like, hey, I bet let's go check
out what's over there, and bad news, man, bad? Yeah,
all right, but can you yeah, you tooe brother. Can
you imagine you're on your commute, you're running late already,
and all of a sudden, a frigging cat pops through
your windshield. Now you buzz. You're like, where the hell
(45:03):
did that just come from? And it turns out to
be that Mark. What's up?
Speaker 9 (45:12):
Hey, good morning man. I was probing about the air compressor,
but I had a bald eagle pick up a deer
carcass in my backyard. I have like a little bit
of property and I shot and got it and you know,
whatever was left, and the eagle actually came down and
tried to pick up the deer cark.
Speaker 1 (45:29):
It's pretty cool, but people people don't realize, Like sheep
ranchers where I grew up, if you had small lambs,
an eagle could straight up pull into your lambs all day. Man.
Speaker 9 (45:39):
Yeah, they're huge. Have you ever stay on off? Plus
they're normans.
Speaker 1 (45:43):
They are dude. I was fishing on Rainy Lake, which
is like in northern Minnesota around the Canadian border, so
it's serene, it's peaceful, nothing's going on out there. We're
out in the skeeter. We're catching walleye and they have
a slot limit. So I got this one walleye. It's
not quite big enough and I do the thing where
I take it off the hook, give it a quick
measure and then I, you know, throw it off the
(46:04):
back of the boat, maybe like five feet. I did
not even clock the eagle coming in because that fish
made them did the thing where you know, for just
a moment they're like, oh, I'm back of the water,
hold on, let me get my bearings. And that fish
didn't stand a chance. And so this eagle it was
the coolest thing, but also it was terrifying dive bombs
this walleye that's maybe like ten feet from me. Jack's
(46:27):
it out of the water. Then and only then do
you realize how big these things are when they're splayed
out ready to go. Man, it's absolutely terrifying. And that
dude ate good that day, So good for him. No
slot for bold Eagles, Yeah, very cool. All right, Mark,
thanks for the call. Man. Yes, bald Eagles don't care
about licenses and slot limits and any of that stuff.
(46:49):
It's like, man, I'm an eagle, so that's not I
was on the guy's call screener was he said he
was gonna that it is a funny prank with the
air compressor. What no, don't do that, Leez. That's all
we asked, all right, eight eight eight nine three four seven,
because I don't want you to go to jail. I
(47:09):
don't want your friend to die. I don't want it
happened to you. I don't want your name to be like,
how did Bob go? Well, Bob's intestines exploded because Jim
put an air compressor hose in his butt. You don't
want that. You know what that did, tarnishing your legacy
going forward, So you know, be safe. I don't think
(47:30):
it's Osha complying either. Just something to think about, all right,
Coming up, we got a woman who hates BUCkies. Ross
just got into a fight with the microwave in the
uh in the kit in the little kitchen area of
the station here.
Speaker 2 (47:45):
Yeah, it's the first time I ever had to use
the microwave in there after the remodel. And it's the
one you have to like squat down way down. You
got to put it an ankle level. Yeah, so some
way down there, and I'm putting these like cheese egg
bite things in there, right am. I'm hungry to make
some of these things and to put in there like
and a half. So I get back in time and
then it's done, beat beat beat by all right, So
I go to open the door and it's locked, and
(48:07):
I'm pushing it.
Speaker 1 (48:07):
Locked on the thing.
Speaker 2 (48:09):
Well, yeah, I'm pushing it. I'm putting. I'm not noticing.
And then I look up and it says l oc
and I'm like LLOC, Like the heck is that you guys.
Speaker 1 (48:16):
Gotta understand too? Ross would have taken a bat to
this thing. Yeah, big bites.
Speaker 2 (48:20):
So I'm pushing it and then I'm trying to read
like the tiny letters on the on the thing, and
there's like a lock and unlocks. I'm pushing it, and
then the like an there's like a red picture of
a lock is now on top of the words locks,
and now it's doubly locked. And I figured out I
had to push the one down and hold the one
down for three seconds and unlocked so I'll get my food.
Why is there an automatic lock feature on the microwave
so people don't steal your food?
Speaker 1 (48:40):
I think eventually, when big government wants to police what
you're eating, then they can just keep your fat, fat
fingers away from it.
Speaker 2 (48:46):
You know, I was unaware this was the thing.
Speaker 1 (48:48):
Like I've seen it on I've seen it on a
flat top stove, right one that sits flushed on a counter,
which kind of makes sense because I had one. It
was very frustrating too, because you might inadvertently hit that
little lock button and the lights don't stay on. So
then you go to use the stove and you can't
get the damn thing to turn on until you put
your thumb and a hole on the lock button for
(49:09):
like three seconds and then the unlocked. But it was
very frustrated the first time I had to figure that out.
I've never seen a microwave do that and to automatically
do It's not like a h hit a button to
do it.
Speaker 2 (49:20):
It's just like your food's done. Now it's locks and
nobody can take it.
Speaker 1 (49:22):
I guess, well, nobody took your food did that? It
did not, So you had that, but I almost took
a back to it. Oh which podcast did you flip onto?
The little radio and the sales pit.
Speaker 2 (49:35):
The Jim Cornett experience.
Speaker 3 (49:37):
Jeez.
Speaker 2 (49:38):
So every morning I've been walking in in the hub
area and they have like, you know, a smart speaker.
Speaker 3 (49:42):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (49:42):
Every morning it so hip.
Speaker 2 (49:44):
Yeah, it typically plays shows and or you know the
station's here.
Speaker 1 (49:47):
Yeah, they just say hey, Alexis and then doing so
I've been walkingst triggered something for people.
Speaker 2 (49:52):
Right, So I'm like, hey, play you know the Steve
Austin podcast, or play in this Morning and shows Jim
Cornett and he's just saucy, yeah, dropping bombs and yeah,
it gonna be good to come into this morning.
Speaker 1 (50:03):
A little surprised for the salespeople on a Friday.
Speaker 2 (50:05):
He was talking, Yeah, he was talking about a cage
match or something when I was trying to bust into
the microwave.
Speaker 1 (50:12):
Mm hmmm, well that would have been appropriate. Yep, yeah, yep.
Did you hit the microwave with a folding chair with
it with a stunner? Oh? See? He tombstone the microwave everybody,
it'll watch out, all right, Well, that thing's probably busted,
although it kind of sounds like it was broke because
it thinks it's a safe. So what if it's what
(50:34):
if it's a trans uh, what if it's transitioned from
a microwave to a safe and you've disrespected? It's how
it feels. Do you every think about that shoving food
in there? It's like, I'm a safe. You put money
in me?
Speaker 2 (50:48):
Now, I guess I guess my bigotry knows no bounds
now it's just like, yeah, clearly you can't help it.
Speaker 1 (50:56):
So yesterday was the funeral for former Vice President Dick
and what a cast of characters that were there. By
the way, I saw a couple of little videos where
he had, you know, I got the boy George Bush
gave the eulogy, obviously the man he served under. He
had the family there, but you also had this rag
tag group of what I would I guess I would
(51:18):
describe as all the names you kind of remember from
the nineties and politics, and there are two thousands. And
then also you had would you say, Rachel Maddow was there, right,
Rachel Maddow, who probably never had a nice thing to
say about Dick Cheney's at his funeral, But you know
(51:38):
who wasn't at his funeral? And then the media had
to pretend like they couldn't understand why, I don't know,
maybe uh oh yeah, the president, Karen.
Speaker 5 (51:48):
We're learning neither President Trump nor Vice President Vance were
invited to the funeral.
Speaker 10 (51:53):
How significant is that and why were invited?
Speaker 11 (51:57):
It's not surprising, Diane. And really, if you look at
who is there in the Washington National Cathedral, it's a
who's who of the Republican Party before the era of
Donald Trump, which is a very different era here in Washington,
d C. To see President George W. Bush sitting there
with former President Biden and their spouses Kamala Harris there
(52:18):
as well, it's so significant to think about what this
town looked like and how different things were before the
Trump administration. And there is no love lost between the
Trump's and the Cheney's.
Speaker 1 (52:31):
For you guys and the Cheney's and the Bushes, who
were your Donald Trump for eight years, we had to
listen to George Bush and Dick Cheney and Carl Rove.
We're essentially the you know, the triumvirent of terror around
the world. And now it's like, oh, can you believe this?
(52:53):
Like the real tragedy is that you didn't have a
hot mic near where Kamala Harris was sitting next to
a Joe Biden. Ah, I'd love to be a fly
on the wall for that. He was talking about no
love laws. No, it would have been more confusing if
Trump advance were there. That would have been the story.
Speaker 11 (53:16):
Cheney last year said he was not voting for he
was voting for Kamala Harris in the election after declaring
that Donald Trump was the most grave threat to democracy
this country had ever seen and he should not be
returned to power. That back and forth, it all started
back after the attack on the Capitol in twenty twenty,
and of course when Donald Trump disputed the election results
(53:39):
that year, and so this also became very personal when
Cheney's daughter, Liz Cheney was part of the January sixth
Investigative Committee. And you see that now there today where
she will be speaking and President Trump and Vice President
Vance will not be in attendance there.
Speaker 1 (53:55):
So it's some kind of win.
Speaker 4 (53:56):
Ha.
Speaker 1 (53:57):
They got him at the end. You know what I
didn't see yesterday? Maybe I missed. I didn't see Trump
trash tweeting Cheney either. I mean he was he was
busy storing the media up with tweets about uh uh,
you know, the traders and stuff, which you know, everyone
lost their mind over. We'll get to that.
Speaker 4 (54:15):
But like.
Speaker 1 (54:18):
You, you took this man's funeral and you made it
about Trump. That's the other thing. Maybe you could have
just covered the funeral. Hey, who's here? I thought George Bush.
I watched a little bit of it. I thought he
gave a pretty good speech, right, and he was talking
about why I chose Cheney and and all those things,
and again, I'm from Wyoming. We have a weird relationship
(54:39):
with the Cheney's just because you know they're there. It's
kind of a I will say, it's a it's a family.
They're they're political royalty in Wyoming, but they kind of are.
And people in Wyoming are very you think you think
you're locked in on h not wanting to hear from
(55:02):
somebody who's not considered a true Wyoming night. I look,
I because I lived elsewhere because my dad was under
contract for a while. Like even though my family had
been there for generations, generations, I'm like, there are people
are like, well, if you missed a minute living in Wyoming,
then I don't really care what you think. It's It
could be very insular with that stuff. And the Cheney's.
(55:25):
There was always that thing because he wasn't from there.
And then he was in Casper and he did very well,
and then and then in Laramie and then in Cheyenne
with his first you know, his first elections with from
a statewide perspective, and they ran for Congress. And then
once you've kind of sold out and now you live
in Jackson. People have a different opinion of you in Wyoming.
(55:47):
And again this isn't even judgment. I'm giving you the
reality on the ground, so that's its own thing. And
then people really liked when Cheney first got in there,
but then they didn't feel that he really gave a
crap about Wyoming that much. That's just small town stuff.
But it's just another lens as far as what you're covering.
You're covering National Dick Cheney. You're covering Vice President Dick Cheney.
(56:09):
Look at this, Look at the star power in the
audience there, and he decided to make it all about Trump,
who nobody on this planet assumed was going to that
funeral nor would be invited to that funeral. And everyone
understood why. No one was surprised except you. All right,
seven forty four. Let's get that weather guy in here,
(56:32):
shall we. He's ready to go.
Speaker 3 (56:34):
How you doing, sir good nailed it last night.
Speaker 1 (56:40):
And T's done it. Team is Goofy. He's got with problem,
told you man, goofy.
Speaker 3 (56:46):
Yeah, it was uh.
Speaker 1 (56:49):
I can't in the air, I can't handy caap nothing. Man.
You guys probably get it. We're probably you're probably gonna
win by eighty this weekend.
Speaker 3 (56:58):
What'd you think of the uniform? Did you like the
all red?
Speaker 1 (57:02):
I'm just happy because there was a college game last
week where there was two teams that were red and white,
and I'm just I hate when that happens. So they
can be whatever crazy color they want, as long as
they're not mistaking them. There's there was a Jets Eagles
game one time where it was like, this is dumb.
Speaker 12 (57:22):
Yeah, well you certainly could tell the two tell the
two apart last night?
Speaker 1 (57:25):
Yeah, yeah, there was no question who was on which
team there, right right?
Speaker 12 (57:30):
But anyway, so yeah, it's worked out good, and the
weather not working out so great this morning.
Speaker 3 (57:36):
See this little.
Speaker 12 (57:36):
Patch of rain going through the Triangle as we speak.
It looks like it'll be tapering off her shortly. Some
fog around, and still some spotty showers here and there,
but nothing significant for the rest of us. As we
go through this morning. I'll stay cloud a little bit
sixties this afternoon. I might get a little more rain
tonight tomorrow, maybe even a thundershower of the wise partly sunny.
(57:58):
There's gonna be plenty of dry hours tomorrow. It's not
one of these things where it's going to rain all
day at least still look that way mild, And I
don't know if you've been feeling it like it's been
a little humid, you know, over the last week or so.
I mean a little more humid than you think it
would be.
Speaker 1 (58:14):
Yeah, but not like repressed, not like when I think
of community in North Carolina.
Speaker 3 (58:18):
It's the nasty. Yeah, there's been a little bit it.
Speaker 12 (58:21):
Tomorrow be warm, it's a little bit seventies, and then
we'll finally get the low past us, the second low
at a front and will be a little cooler but
more seasonable on Sunday and Monday, upper fifties to a
little bit sixties and sunny. Another chance of rain Tuesday Wednesday,
but sun should be back by Thursday, Thanksgiving Day. A
little tricky travel on Tuesday Wednesday into Wednesday night, but
Thursday does look good with sunshine at the upper fifties,
(58:43):
so more seasonable temperature is finally starting to get here
towards the holiday.
Speaker 1 (58:48):
Okay, all right, we'll do this one more time with
you and one hour after have a good one, all right,
and we will come back. Just a reminder eight oh
five pete calender he'll be joining us from the occupied
people Liberation Republic of Charlotte or whatever to give us
a little boots on the ground thing fresh from a
gool log. I understand it's been shuffled into So we'll
(59:09):
see if he can get a little burner phone in there.
We'll do that. Eight oh five here on the CaCO
Day radio program. Ah, you got done in by big government.
All right, we're getting to the bottom of microwave gate
here on the show. So multiple listeners have sent this.
Now I had no idea about that.
Speaker 2 (59:25):
It's insane.
Speaker 1 (59:26):
Yeah, no, all right, So let me just read this
real quick. Starting March twenty twenty four, so that microwave
would have been after because they just did the remodel.
Starting March of twenty twenty four, federal law now requires
microwave ovens to be equipped with an electronic door lock
safety function. I'm so, are were kids crawling in the microwaves?
(59:47):
Is hard?
Speaker 4 (59:48):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (59:49):
Are there's cemeteries full of irradiated children's tombstone?
Speaker 2 (59:53):
Yeah, I encountered a child safety lock. Put it put
there by the Feds. Wait, yeah, and you open it
when you put your food in. There's no lock, but
your food is done cooking you need it. There's like
a two or three step process, and this one was
like three to open the door. And there's no.
Speaker 1 (01:00:07):
I don't have the booklet, I don't have the instruction. Man,
you know, I've never encountered the company. The company just
put it in there.
Speaker 2 (01:00:11):
So my food, my egg bikes are in there.
Speaker 1 (01:00:13):
And I'm literally like Nick Cage and National Treasure trying
to figure this puzzle out to get back before the
commercials are done, Like what is happening here?
Speaker 2 (01:00:20):
Why can I get my food?
Speaker 13 (01:00:22):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (01:00:22):
You just know it adds like ten to fifteen dollars
probably the cost of every microwave. They just can't help themselves.
How many ross back in the day, how many of
your classmates did you lose to tragic crawling in a
microwave and nuke themselves?
Speaker 2 (01:00:37):
Sure, let me check none, But no, back in our day,
it was the cherry stuck in the fridge.
Speaker 1 (01:00:41):
Yes, yes, that made sense at least, and I understand,
like I get the gist of this is the microwave
gets done. Kids really excited because the food's done, goes
over there, grabs it. It's still too hot, kid burns themselves.
I'm assuming that's what this is, or or there are
secret mass graves of children who crawled into microwaves and
(01:01:03):
somebody's like, we gotta do something. The microwaves are getting
the kids. You know, the irony that the break room
from the moment I started in Raleigh had the same old, yellow,
really gross looking microwave. We had that for what like
thirteen years and it was the same microwave and you
(01:01:24):
know what, it didn't look good, but you know what,
it did a good job of microwave and food.
Speaker 2 (01:01:29):
No, it's the equivalent of the old nineteen seventies you know,
for refrigerator you having there.
Speaker 1 (01:01:33):
It's now in the garage, still working.
Speaker 2 (01:01:35):
Yeah, it still worked. It was fine.
Speaker 1 (01:01:37):
Yeah, the thing was fine. It's I mean, it looked
very appealing and it didn't have a lot of different functions.
It's like you want a microwave something or not. It's
like all right, But it was easy to use. There
was no learning curve. I had that thing figured out.
Like that wasn't part of the getting to know you tour.
They come down they're like, all right, here's here's your studio,
(01:01:57):
here's your office, here's uh or your desk or whatever.
It is here's where the CDs are. If you need
commercial music. We didn't have. We didn't have a microwave day.
Speaker 2 (01:02:07):
I really came close to breaking that microwave though, because listen,
I have over forty plus years of microwave experience on
my resume. Right encounter that, I'm like, obviously it's broke.
Speaker 1 (01:02:15):
He puts that on his resume too. It's very weird,
but you respect it, right, and so you're like, that's
that's several decades, that's that's good man.
Speaker 3 (01:02:26):
Yeah, I remember.
Speaker 1 (01:02:26):
I still remember, like as a kid the microwave had
as a kid, it was it was one of it
was like the oversized one, and it's sat above sat
above one of the stow we had two stoves. Uh,
don't ask me why, but it sat abou above one
of the stoves. And and to use it as a kid,
if you're a little kid, we had the little step
stool thing that was always in the kitchen. But I remember, man,
(01:02:48):
that thing was like early gen microwave. It only kind
of did the one thing and you could like put
your hand closed, you could swear you could feel the
radiation exooting from it. But it did a bang up
job of nuke and food was great. Now they got
child locks on them, and you're so now you're trying
(01:03:09):
to just think about how like Clark Griswold freak out
you are. You're in your kitchen simultaneously trying to nuke
food and get something out of the fridge, and now
it won't let you have your nuke food, and the
fridge is beeping at you because you left the door
open for more than one eighth of a second or
whatever the timer is on that.
Speaker 2 (01:03:26):
Yeah, we ran into that problem yesterday and they were
stocking up the fridge because we have family coming in
because the baby's coming on Monday, right, And now you
have all the groceries on the table, we're putting them
in the fridge, and Marky's closing the door, like, why
is the door closed? It's beeping at me. Yeah, the
con is it for a minute or two before, so
do stop beeping.
Speaker 1 (01:03:41):
And you're like, oh, I'll just untook this wire and
then now your thing doesn't work right or you just
don't want to screw with it now. It says here
in this one little thing from Panasonic that somebody sent
me that there is there is a way you can
unlock it in like eighty two easy steps where you
can deactivate that thing. Okay, yes, so you just have
(01:04:02):
to have the nuclear codes I think, and the knock
list and one of those those crystal skulls I think,
and then you can you can deactivate that feature on there.
Speaker 2 (01:04:17):
Yeah, but you only get the code if you're in
Skull and Bones. That's the issue.
Speaker 1 (01:04:20):
Oh so now you've got to go to Princeton or
Yale or whatever app Oh geez, that's not especially nowadays.
Speaker 2 (01:04:26):
You know how hard it is to acquire the bones
of Geronimo. It's nearly impossible.
Speaker 1 (01:04:29):
It's hard, well, I mean apparently not if you if
you've heard some of the stories where they've been borrowed
and used. Looking at you, George Bush. So I don't know,
don't know, all right, Well, I don't know if we'll
get into microwave tech with poor Pete calendar, but at
least at least we kind of solve the mystery. So
(01:04:50):
there's that. We appreciate that. Oh, I have to do
the BUCkies lady here. And then after we talked to
Pete from reporting this week was was under full occupation
by literal Nazis. They've quietly shuffled people into camps and
goologs throughout the area. It's it's very martial law you there.
And that is why it is so impressive, so brave,
(01:05:12):
so stunning that mister Pete Callender, a man under occupation,
was able to I'm assuming keister a phone in there
so that he could call us this morning and tell
us all about it. Pete, how you doing?
Speaker 4 (01:05:25):
Am I allowed to say this?
Speaker 1 (01:05:27):
I don't know. That's up to your new overlords there.
Speaker 4 (01:05:29):
So yeah, that's why I was checking with.
Speaker 1 (01:05:32):
So I'm to understand I'm doing fine.
Speaker 4 (01:05:34):
I'm doing fine.
Speaker 1 (01:05:35):
Yeah, all right, they're telling you to say that good.
So I'm to understand that the city of Charlotte was
basically non functional for the entire week. No kids were out,
no shopping was to be done. It was essentially like
early COVID lockdowns. Was that the vibe around those parts?
Speaker 4 (01:05:53):
Yeah, well, look, I mean I got, you know, phone
calls from people that were commenting about how the traffic
was much lighter for the for the work week. I
did notice that myself, but it's hard to you know,
quantify that. And we did know that it was something
like thirty thousand kids at Charlotte Mecklimer schools did not
(01:06:19):
show up, So that's about I don't know one fifth
of the population at CMS at all.
Speaker 1 (01:06:28):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (01:06:28):
Yeah, it's my understanding that those kids are free to educate,
so it's not like it we can draw no conclusions
from the fact that one n five kids in the
CMS system, you know, might be costing us money to educate.
So we can't make any.
Speaker 1 (01:06:47):
Connection there on that. Real quick, since we're not making judgments.
This is right zone. You've covered how long have you
covered school politics right as a reporter?
Speaker 4 (01:06:59):
Twenty host Yeah, like twenty five years.
Speaker 1 (01:07:02):
Do you know that?
Speaker 4 (01:07:03):
Well?
Speaker 1 (01:07:03):
You know, so you know what one of their big
things is. They always talk about it's and they want
usually they want more money so they can reduce this thing.
But I said, I had to cover school board meetings
for years. They will not shut up about class sizes, right,
And so I'm sitting here going, well, wait a second
if because I saw videos too where teachers would like
(01:07:25):
shoot video inside their classroom and they're like, look at all, right,
here's the kids that are there, but look at all
the empty seats. And I'm also like, why the hell
are you filming the kids who are there. This seems
in a.
Speaker 4 (01:07:34):
Pat Yeah, we weren't allowed to do that. We would
have to only shoot video of their feet as they
walk down this week. Otherwise you needed permission from their parents.
Speaker 1 (01:07:43):
But I'm looking at They're like, this classroom is supposed
to have twenty eight kids in it and there's only fourteen,
And I'm like, isn't this what you wanted?
Speaker 4 (01:07:51):
Right?
Speaker 1 (01:07:52):
And also I got some spy reports from teachers who
listen to the show, and they said that when you
have students in a class and they are sl students,
a lot of times, it impacts the speed at which education.
Speaker 3 (01:08:04):
Is No, yeah, no really yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:08:08):
Yeah, that was the thing they brought up on multiple
occasions in my email inbox. So like a way, in
a way, shouldn't you make lemonade out of that?
Speaker 4 (01:08:20):
Yeah? I saw one interview with a Charlotte Mecklenberg teacher
who said that his class of is normally I think
he said sixteen, and this was a high school level class.
He said, it's normally sixteen and this week there were four.
Get four? Right, So like that's almost a tutoring gig,
(01:08:40):
you know, yeah, yeah, I mean talk about you know,
one on one instruction, personalized instruction. But yeah, to your point.
So here's the and here's the tension. Right, they're always
talking about reducing class size, except in college. In college,
you can pay like forty grand a year and then
(01:09:00):
sit in a class of like eight thousand people virtually, right,
something like that. That's totally fine. But anyway, so at
the K twelve level, they're always talking about reducing the
class size. But on the other hand, they get paid.
The schools get paid based on the attendance exactly, so
they always want the attendance counts up. Then if they
(01:09:24):
you know, if the kids end up leaving the school
or whatever, that's fine because they do the count on
like the twentieth day of the school year, and then
that determines their funding level from the state. So they
always want those numbers jacked up at the beginning of
the school year. So yeah, there's this tension. You want
all of the warm bodies so you get the per diem,
but then you want the smaller class sizes. So it's
(01:09:49):
a it's a self perpetuating cycle there, right. So you
can then always argue for more school construction, more bonds,
which would pay for those new schools. Yeah, it's it's
just a cycle that keeps going. And now when you
kind of get a glimpse, it's it's actually the Customs
and Border Patrol operation dubbed Charlotte's Web, it actually has
(01:10:11):
been more successful than any of the day without an
immigrant protests.
Speaker 1 (01:10:17):
Oh that's a good point. Yeah, yeah, ye're doing those
things too, do Yeah, but you buy them? Never show
one hundred do you buy one hundred thousand number? But
there's one hundred thousand. Uh, there's one hundred thousand illegal
immigrants in the Charlotte area. Because I kept seeing that
number get thrown around, which would be about what eight
to ten percent of your population in the greater Charlotte area.
Speaker 4 (01:10:38):
Yeah, I believe that.
Speaker 1 (01:10:39):
Okay, Yeah, And that's the problem.
Speaker 4 (01:10:42):
It's very difficult to come up with these numbers, right,
But I mean you can look at just the Hispanic
population legal and illegal. They don't differentiate it somewhere in
the neighborhood of like fifteen to sixteen percent. Now, so
include all you know, illegal immigrants, and we're about a
million people. So yeah, that would that would seem to track.
Speaker 1 (01:11:03):
Now they're reporting this morning that Charlotte's Charlotte Webb. I
think it's just Charlotte web which is confusing to me too.
Speaker 4 (01:11:11):
They probably sued like yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:11:13):
Exactly, but now they said it's over. And then I
had this thought crossed my brain, and I'm like, what
if it's not? What if? And Ross's examples like when
you're playing hide and seek with your young kid and
you can see their feet sticking out front of the criage.
You're like, all right, I'm leaving the room now, right,
and then your little idiot'll pop his head out in
like ten seconds. I got you, so, like, what if?
(01:11:35):
What if Border Patrol said that? But they're all just
in like gilly suits this morning, just hanging out, just waiting.
Speaker 3 (01:11:44):
They could.
Speaker 4 (01:11:44):
I mean, that would be a tactic. I don't know.
It doesn't seem like that's been something that they've done
in the past. I think they I've seen the reporting
that they're you know, heading to Raleigh and Hickory.
Speaker 1 (01:11:55):
I think I came to Durham. That was fun this
incidents there, right, chase him around, whistling at him, follow
him around, and they took some pepper balls to the
windshield and then and you know, they always have to
act shocked. When the police respond, they would start screaming
simult how could this have happened? But I will say this,
and I don't know if it's just being in it, Pete,
Like I swear there was an uptick in the amount
(01:12:20):
of lunatics, Like I even felt like there was more
than when in Portland. When they were in Portland that
were that are willing to follow around, obstruct and physically
threaten ice officers who are trying to do their job.
And I feel like there were the moonbats were just
coming out of the coming out of the woodwork. Like,
listen to this.
Speaker 5 (01:12:39):
Chesters in Charlotte, North Carolina have had enough of ice,
so they snuck onto the grounds of the hotels that
had been housing ice agents, and yesterday ice agents woke
up to all of their tires.
Speaker 1 (01:12:58):
She's so cross, she's so proud.
Speaker 5 (01:13:01):
So South is nowhere near as Republican as y'all have
been led to believe they are, because why Also in Charlotte,
someone's mema hopped out of her truck with a called
it a piece done in a bum rushed these ice
(01:13:22):
agents that were trying to arrest people putting up Christmas lights,
and they all.
Speaker 1 (01:13:26):
Got in the car.
Speaker 4 (01:13:30):
Listening.
Speaker 5 (01:13:31):
Is this North Carolina is a standard ground state. And
if someone pulls up on you and your family doesn't
identify themselves and tries to.
Speaker 3 (01:13:40):
Kidnap you, she's just saying trying to find out.
Speaker 1 (01:13:45):
I guess Yeah, there's so much bad advice in that.
I think she's a deal agent. But remember when the
mema came out, the pistol pack of mema and chased
all the ice officers away. Remember that the Christmas member,
that's not what happened. Oh it's wait, what is that not?
Speaker 5 (01:14:05):
How?
Speaker 4 (01:14:05):
No, No, they were, Yeah, they they asked the guy
who was hanging the Christmas lights, he was standing on
the ladder. They asked him their questions, which we had
a border patrol agent on the show, former border patrol agent.
He lives in the area, and he called in and
we were discussing. He's like, we have like ten questions
we run through the it's the same questions no matter
where you are, And we are within one hundred miles
(01:14:25):
of an international airport here in Charlotte. Charlotte sug was
international and that's your that's your international border. So they
were they can ask these questions and then through the
questions they arrived at uh you know recently, they start
with reasonable suspicion and then a probable cause standard.
Speaker 1 (01:14:43):
Right, yeah, they're not even asking I saw I saw
probably the same video where they asked like five or
six people and yeah, only one person that they even
asked to show them paperwork.
Speaker 3 (01:14:52):
Right, Yeah, Well, and here's the yeah, because.
Speaker 1 (01:14:55):
That's the thing, and where if people have been through
a border check station in internal one, if they've ever
driven through Texas, Arizona, California, like, these things exist. These
are not new, right, just.
Speaker 4 (01:15:06):
Because people in Charlotte have no idea because they haven't
seen it. But here's the other thing too. We have
a lot of people that are not from here. They
are from blue states that have moved to Charlotte. It's
one of the fastest growing areas in the country and
has been for the last thirty years. So no, it's
not surprising that we have a large share of left
(01:15:27):
wing crazy people. A lot of them, you know, have
retired here, sold their homes up in you know, the
Northeast or whatever, and they've come down here because they've
destroyed the affordability and liveability of their own home states.
So then they have come here, so that's not surprising.
But also, you know this woman who was yelling at
the agents and stuff, she didn't actually yell at them
(01:15:48):
until they were driving away like that. Like, I watched
that video and it was ridiculus. Unless there's some other
video that y'all are talking about. I saw the one
with the guy on the ladder hanging the lights, and
it wasn't until they drove away that she started cursing
them out like that's like and that's such a punk move,
you know, like, oh, now you're going to run your
(01:16:09):
mouth as the agents drive down the street.
Speaker 1 (01:16:11):
Yeah, yeah, well but remember they kidnapped that fifteen year
old from the groceries.
Speaker 4 (01:16:16):
He's not fifteen wait.
Speaker 1 (01:16:20):
Miss Lee. The crazy part about that is is the
media said fifteen, his employer said twenty, and then the.
Speaker 4 (01:16:28):
After he said fifteen, yeah, the employer said fifteen or sixteen,
And then when somebody else was like, no, I think
he's like eighteen, and he's like, okay, maybe twenty, it's
like okay, well, like what are we even talking about now?
Speaker 1 (01:16:40):
And to me, I feel like, does I feel like
he's eighteen? But he was using somebody's ID to work
which I know no, and like I'd pull my hair
out because at no point did any of the TV
stations covering this ever attempt to surmise that they don't
know fifteen.
Speaker 4 (01:16:59):
Right, And so this is the permission structure. We've talked
about this in various different ways over the years, right,
the the erecting of the permission structure that this is.
This is the result what you saw these leftists doing
out on the streets, right, trying to impede law enforcement.
They are empowered by a media that is complicit in
(01:17:19):
the mission. Media is running around posting their videos, right,
because if you have one of these videos and you'll
get you know, media companies will reach out to you,
can we run your your video? They are complicit, right,
So they they then send this message to the protesting
crowd that this is all acceptable. We're all find they get,
(01:17:41):
they get the virtue signaling rush, the dopamine hits, and
then the media gets to elevate them and say we
are just as virtuous as as y'all are. And here's
the thing this is, I know we've talked about this
too before, which is suicidal empathy, right, And that's what
this is. When you have, for example, and in a
culture that ranks very highly honor right think Japan, right,
(01:18:06):
people would kill themselves rather than to bring shame to
their family or their country. They would commit harikari. Right now,
that's what happens in a culture that values honor as
its top principle. Right, Well, we have one that is
now valuing empathy. And so now all the permission structure
(01:18:28):
is aligned for you to do whatever you need to
do because it is the highest principle to show that
you care. I care so much, I'm going to ram
my vehicle into armed law enforcement officers, and that then
gets celebrated because we have ranked empathy as this highest principle.
Speaker 1 (01:18:50):
I try, I have racked my brain trying to think
of an example where the right leaning half of the
country all collectively decided that a major portion of our
laws just don't apply anymore, and they can take physical
action to demonstrate that. I can't figure out what it is.
Speaker 4 (01:19:08):
I can't figure out what it is besides January sixth,
we again there, right, no, And that's and see this
is one of the differences. Right we all expect the left,
the left wing to behave like this, and so because
we expect them to act like children throwing tantrums on everything.
(01:19:32):
We we just kind of go about our normal lives.
That's what made January sixth so different, which is that
this was people, a group of people, they don't do this,
and for them to now go out and do something
like this. That's what I think scared so many people
on the left was it's like, that's what that looks like.
You have pushed these people so far that they are
(01:19:53):
willing to walk through the capital looking at some of
the paintings on the wall and such.
Speaker 1 (01:19:58):
Yeah, or yeah, or photo bomb Pelosi's office. Yeah, all right, hey,
real quick, just as I got you on a hot
garbage level of ten to one to ten, ten being
the hottest of hot garbage, did you realize how hot
garbage Roy Cooper's hurricane relief system apparatus was.
Speaker 4 (01:20:21):
Yes, I give it a ten. I give it a ten.
And the reason and I suspect you may have kind
of had an inkling about this as well, given that
you know it's been a decade and people still are
not in their homes.
Speaker 1 (01:20:36):
Was that so?
Speaker 4 (01:20:37):
Yeah? I mean, especially if you set up this Office
of Resilience and Recovery, it's kind of right there in
the name Office of Recovery, like you should probably be,
you know, getting people into homes after you know, maybe
a year or two, but a decade that seems hot garbage.
Speaker 1 (01:20:54):
Yeah, yeah, I kind of thought the same thing. If
you guys haven't seen the report from A Bullock the
auditor there, it's a doozy and it's not surprising. Basically
it was form over function, which is pretty typical. But
we're gonna have to leave it there. We're not here
next week, so it'll be you and us. We'll see
(01:21:15):
you a couple of weeks. Pete, thank your back. YouTube brother.
So w R A L did a fact check yesterday
and it's the here go here it is does the
does the government pay Home Depot to arrest immigrants in
their parking lot? The answers they don't. Okay, So that
that But the fact that we're even having to go
(01:21:36):
down this road, why would you think that?
Speaker 2 (01:21:38):
Yeah, I was gonna say, is that like a thing
that's been going around like a rumor?
Speaker 1 (01:21:41):
Yeah, I get there's Yeah, they showed some like thing
that was getting shared on Blue Sky. I know you're shocked,
but like you you've been to Home Depot. I'm not
picking on the people who work there, but do you
think they want something else to do? Right, They're already
They're already gonna deal with your innane spackle questions or
pretend when your wife's in there that there are thirty
(01:22:02):
six shades of white, right with a straight face. That's
their job. They're they're not out there doing They're not
out there doing massive rest in their own barking lot.
So yeah, they did a whole home they did a
whole fact check on this. Yeah. According to Beth Barlow,
(01:22:22):
who is a spokeswoman for Home Depot, quote, the story
is false. We do not have contracts with DHS or EYES.
We are notified when activities are even happening. In many cases,
we don't even know that the rest may have taken
place until long after they're over, or if somebody tells us.
So No, the guy in the orange smock or apron
(01:22:47):
does not also have arrest powers, So no, I guess
would be the answer. Hey, you want to hear another lunatic,
All right, check this out. And I don't know why.
I guess maybe this is her version of a review,
but it's just I like it's missing all the key points.
So this woman went a little viral because she finally
(01:23:07):
went to a BUCkies and she is not impressed.
Speaker 14 (01:23:09):
I'm at BUCkies right now, and yeah, I just am
looking for an explanation of what the hype is like.
Speaker 4 (01:23:17):
It is.
Speaker 14 (01:23:18):
This is hell. Someone's like, you gotta go to BUCkies.
You got I mean, this is like a cracker barrel
and a gas station vomited all over each other and
then made the ugliest clothes you've ever seen. I'm actually
horrified because I think this is what Europeans and other
people around the world think of when they think of
American culture, Like in a can.
Speaker 1 (01:23:38):
I stop you for a second? Man, Ross, you've seen
these video? You ever seen any of these videos where
European travelers or in the US and they go to
a Bucky.
Speaker 2 (01:23:46):
Yeah, you know. There's a pair of British guys that
I saw like they've been done a bunch of all
their and then they've had the opposite reaction where they're like,
look at this thing.
Speaker 1 (01:23:56):
I want to move here for Yeah. So I don't
think you've see those. And I've told this story. The
funniest thing to me when I was in Ireland, but
I was in the same hotel. Kind of got to
know this older couple who were Welsh and they were
there touring Ireland. Is the thing that they would not
shut up about was the width of our roads. You
(01:24:17):
never know what people are going to be impressed by. Man,
Like every conversation that the husband would have to make
some point about how why the roads were because they
went to Colorado or something, And I'm like, you were
the rocky mountains and you talk about the roads and
not the giant ass mountains. Those must have been some
great roads anyway. So she's not digging the BUCkies atmosphere
(01:24:38):
or the clothes or really anything.
Speaker 14 (01:24:40):
Topian way like, no, it's real and I'm in here
right now.
Speaker 2 (01:24:44):
What is this?
Speaker 14 (01:24:46):
I'm so scared the excitement surrounding serious as an institution,
as an indicator of the state of the mental health
of the citizens of this country.
Speaker 4 (01:24:55):
I think if you.
Speaker 14 (01:24:55):
Were excited about BUCkies, you need to go see a therapist. Walmart,
husband hopped home.
Speaker 1 (01:25:03):
This is you know what it is. It's it's the
flyover East Coast smug liberal vibe that she's putting off.
And the irony is Man, if you if you ever
stop to give it any thought why BUCkies does a
couple things differently and really accentuates that it's literally targeting you.
What do you think the mindset is behind BUCkies? Just
(01:25:24):
two big decisions for BUCkies. One the bathrooms, the cleanliness,
the quality of the bathrooms, and then two not allowing
semi trucks. Who do you think that's aimed at? I
can tell you because I've heard the BUCkies people talk about.
Speaker 2 (01:25:37):
There's a lot of context missing here from her argument,
or maybe she's purposely forgetting it. Like listen, if BUCkies
was just you know, next like a Walmart just in town, right, right,
you'd be different.
Speaker 1 (01:25:49):
The problem.
Speaker 2 (01:25:50):
Here's here's why BUCkies is amazing. If you've ever had
a drive of over ten hours, which they don't really
have over in Europe because it's very tiny, but here,
you know, two hours isn't even considered long drive. Some
people make the commute every day. Right, So you're driving
for sixteen hours and you have two alternatives. One is
(01:26:10):
you can stop in Alabama, which we did. Yeah, at
the bathroom there at the you know, at the welcome center,
Welcome to Alabama. Remember the story. We're driving Louisiana and
we stopped in there and Lincoln at it. Go so
I'd get linking out of the car and we go
into the rest stop there and there's no doors on
the stalls. There's one guy off, there's one guy squatting
(01:26:31):
taking a dump right and on each of the stall.
Speaker 1 (01:26:35):
Once again no doors. There's no doors, and the walls
of the stalls are plastered with human excrement. It's kill.
It was the most disgusting thing you have ever seen.
The worst Jackson Pollock painting you've ever awful. Yeah, are
you have the alternative? You have a BUCkies which is
(01:26:58):
like you're going through the desert and you find a
bunch of water.
Speaker 2 (01:27:01):
Right, it's an oasis. It is. The brisket is amazing.
The beaver nugget nuggets are great. The bathrooms, the bathrooms
are immaculate. The doors are complete privacy. It's amazing.
Speaker 1 (01:27:17):
Ex paintings are nice. They are not there, they're nowhere
in sight. Okay, these are by the way. This thing
you're talking about right here with the bathrooms is a
conscious decision the BUCkies made to appeal to women. This
is what you have. You have to understand how many
marketing choices are about appealing to mama bear right, that's
(01:27:40):
what they're there for. Because if when you're when you're
on the road trip, right, Mom, dad in the car,
kids are in the car, you're figuring out where to stop.
Chances are if mom knows the BUCkies has clean bathrooms
and there's a safety factor by not allowing semis there.
They've literally they've tested this. Consumers perceive the entire area
as safer.
Speaker 3 (01:28:01):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:28:01):
And so if you've got little kids gonna run out
and you don't want semi trucks around there, you know
that there's gonna have clean bathrooms and that they are
doing it to target, to appeal to women who are
generally the decision makers, mostly because they got to pe
every five Yeah, not only in the bathroom safe clean,
but they're safe, yes, yeah, and these are and the kids.
It's exciting for the kids after and I'm talking about
(01:28:23):
a long road trip. You've been driving twelve hours. You're
driving across this giant, beautiful country of ours, and your
your relatives are doing it right now, right, yes, yeah,
And there's food and there's toys for the kids, and
there's stuff, and it's for some reason, it is a
wonderful break from the long, monotonous, boring drive. So this
woman can kick rocks. Yeah, this is why if you
(01:28:44):
ever go out west, you drive around out West, there
are there are places that are legendary as stopovers. Now,
don't get me wrong, you got pagros and you got
stuff out. But like if you've ever had to make
the drive on ninety through South Dakota, even before you
get South Dakota, and then every mile from the moment
you enter the east side of South Dakota to the
(01:29:05):
roughly three hundred miles it's going to take you to
get to Waldrug, you are going to be reminded of Waldrug. Waldrug,
This Waldrug. You would think this is the shining city
on the hill by the time you get there, and
it's not. It's just a really cool place where you
can go refuel. Generally, it's pretty clean, a bunch of
(01:29:25):
food options. They have a bunch of those Old West
things where you stick your head through the thing so
you can look like you're in the Old West for
the photos. Right, you know what I'm talking about. Got
a bunch of those people stop there. It's absolute pandemonium,
but organized and family friendly, and people respond accordingly because
you're just driven through South Dakota and there ain't nothing.
(01:29:46):
There's a corn palace, a couple of cabellas, all the
deer an antelope you could ever want to look at,
and then this waldrug. There's oasis out there in the
middle of nowhere, and people stop there. BUCkies has just
figured out how to fleck Son on a national scale.
And you know what, ma'am, I don't think BUCkies. If
we don't want to be there, then don't go there,
(01:30:07):
and BUCkies will be a better place for it.
Speaker 2 (01:30:08):
We are currently we have a dilemma at the Hayes
Compound because like what Bucky inflatable do we put up?
Do we put up the Santa Christmas inflatable? Or do
we put up the It's a boy inflatable? Which one
we'd both?
Speaker 1 (01:30:23):
There's crossover if you think about it, right, Hey, which
boy are you referring to your own? Or the one
in the manger? So do you have your giant BUCkies
learning tree inflatable? Though?
Speaker 2 (01:30:37):
What is that's what you mean? The Christmas tree?
Speaker 1 (01:30:41):
I'm sorry. The Governor of Wisconsin is determined that this
year will referred to as a learning tree. So get
with the program, Bigot there you go. Yeah, Christmas trees canceled,
Learning trees in and we're all better off for it.
Or so I'm being told. Rased agent is here, he
can call whatever he wants. Oh he's not there. Okay, great,
(01:31:03):
you know why he probably got trapped.
Speaker 3 (01:31:06):
I'm here.
Speaker 1 (01:31:07):
Uh we thought you got trapped in a microwave. Do
you know the new micro might have a build safety
feature on there?
Speaker 3 (01:31:14):
They do or don't.
Speaker 1 (01:31:15):
Yeah, I had never Ross, and I had never used
the new microwave they put in the kitchen studio at
the station, and Ross went, do some breakfast in there,
and it beeps and then it won't let you have
your food. You got to punch in like the Yeah, no,
it's a new federal regulation.
Speaker 4 (01:31:29):
Right.
Speaker 2 (01:31:29):
How many years a microwave experience do you have on
your belt?
Speaker 12 (01:31:32):
I probably have. Let's say H'm fifty four. Probably a
good deal of fifty four years.
Speaker 3 (01:31:39):
Right, So he started at the young age.
Speaker 2 (01:31:40):
You put your food in and it beeps and it
doesn't open. What do you think if it's not opening
and you're pushing the thing, You're like, this.
Speaker 3 (01:31:45):
Is broken, Yes, thank you, and.
Speaker 1 (01:31:47):
You're gonna you're gonna break it open, Like the end
of office.
Speaker 3 (01:31:50):
Yeah, absolutely depends on what's in there.
Speaker 12 (01:31:51):
If you've got a hot pocket in there or something, Yeah,
I'm taking somebody out.
Speaker 1 (01:31:55):
So all microwaves starting last March. I have to have
the stupid child safety lot because I guess kids were
crawling in there and getting nuked or something. I don't know.
It's very frustrating.
Speaker 3 (01:32:04):
I can't.
Speaker 1 (01:32:06):
Coming.
Speaker 12 (01:32:10):
Well, I got I got three spars in the basement,
so until they all run out, gotcha?
Speaker 3 (01:32:15):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (01:32:15):
Maybe?
Speaker 3 (01:32:16):
All right, real quick.
Speaker 1 (01:32:19):
Here, what's going on?
Speaker 12 (01:32:20):
Yeah, still a little bit of rain around today. The
heaviest steady is pushing through in east right now. Maybe
a little more tonight, tomorrow, Today a little bit sixties,
tomorrow a little warmer, a little bit seventies before the
system passes. And actually see that rain taper off in
the morning tomorrow. Get some sun in the afternoon. Sunday
looks good, Monday good, and then a chance of rain
mid week before it turns a little chillier by Thanksgiving,
(01:32:41):
but a little bit more seasonable.
Speaker 3 (01:32:42):
Are are you here next week?
Speaker 1 (01:32:44):
Nope? Not at all, not at all.
Speaker 3 (01:32:45):
Okay, sounds good, Happy Thanksgiving?
Speaker 1 (01:32:48):
All right? YouTube?
Speaker 4 (01:32:48):
Brother?
Speaker 1 (01:32:49):
All right there you raced agic and we will be
right back. He's spelled greening Denise finish us off for
our Friday.
Speaker 10 (01:32:55):
How you doing Yeah, pretty good. I hope you're doing
well this Friday. Netflix, Comcast, and Paramount are being very
closely watched, Casey, because they've just made bids for Warner Brothers.
They submitted bids for Warner Brothers Discovery by yesterday's deadline.
We could see some more movement on that in the
coming days. A lot of drama going on there because
(01:33:17):
Warner Brothers Discovery has really struggled under its current leadership
and they've had what four owners in the last seven years.
Some good news for technology in your home. Smart home
cameras from Amazon and Google could soon work together the
standard that helps devices play nicely together. It is being
expanded to support video cameras for the first time. Stranger Things.
(01:33:40):
Nike and Converse are dropping five more eighties centric sneakers.
A week before the final season of Stranger Things releases.
Nike and Converse are unveiling a whole series of sneakers
inspired by the Netflix series. They've got this Converse X
Stranger Things, Chuck seventy Shoe, Great Canvas with W s
QK radio station graphics and embroidered sound waves on it.
(01:34:04):
Whole bunch of things could be kind of a cute
gift for Christmas. Stock futures are higher. That's after New
York Fed President John Williams indicated the Fed could have
room for another interest rate cuts soon. Down futures are
up two sixty three s and P futures up thirty five.
Nasdaq futures up one twenty one. But it is an
absolute bloodbath for Bitcoin, down today to about eighty three
(01:34:25):
thousand dollars of bitcoin. You know, holders have lost about
twenty five percent of their portfolio value since the peak
last month. Extreme fear in the industry among some traders.
On the other hand, there's this one guy, Tom Lee
of Funstrat Global. He ses bitcoin as high as two
hundred thousand by the end of January. That would be
what almost triple what it is right now. And casey uh.
(01:34:47):
If Grandma seems to be laughing a lot at the
dinner table this Thanksgiving, this could be why more Americans
opting for cannabis infused foods and shrinks on Thanksgiving infuse
Seltzer's stuffing Turkey. As all the regulation around cannabis disease.
So if you're cooking, you might want to cook a
little bit extra because you might be cooking for the
munchiet crowd, especially with this whole thing with the what
(01:35:10):
is it the cousin walk or the dog walk that
millennials and young people going, and you know, dispensaries, say
green Wednesday, the day before Thanksgiving is one of the
biggest cannabis sales days.
Speaker 1 (01:35:22):
Good, it's n name. That's great, all right, Denise. Well,
look a reminder. We're not here at all next.
Speaker 3 (01:35:28):
Week, so oh I'll miss you, but have.
Speaker 1 (01:35:32):
For live reports. Yeah, we'll do probably not cannabis confused,
have a good one.
Speaker 10 (01:35:36):
No, but I'll be thinking about you when I take
that extra helping of stuffing.
Speaker 1 (01:35:39):
Okay, enjoy love guys. All right, there you go, Denise pelligreedy,
Happy Thanksgiving to her, and all right, real quick, a
couple of phone calls around things out. Let's start with Mark.
What's up, Mark Dane?
Speaker 15 (01:35:51):
Good morning? How are you doing it?
Speaker 1 (01:35:53):
Good sir?
Speaker 15 (01:35:54):
Yeah, Hey, I wanted to comment on a couple of things.
Pizza in the last half hour. I mean, he nailed
it on January sixth. The reason everyone keeps bringing that
up is because it is unusual for people on the
GOP side to get violent and get out of hand
like that. It's a true man bright dog story. If
you're going to go journalism one on one, them getting
out of control at Doug White Man, they've been doing
(01:36:15):
another way back to eighteen fifties Kansas, right anom. Yeah, Yeah,
they do it all the time, so it's commonplace. So
that's you know, Dog White's man. And then the resistance
to ICE. I mean, these people are just being undemocratic
if you goin to use their language. Trump was not
He didn't hide anything. He was running on. He said
he's going to do this, and the majority of Americans
(01:36:36):
voted for it. Everything he's doing is constitutional and under
the law. These people are just getting worked up. They're
trying to evoke a reaction and get violent.
Speaker 1 (01:36:44):
It's thank you for the calls reached the Project Chaos
thing one hundred percent. All right, Bill, you're the last call.
Speaker 13 (01:36:51):
Go right ahead, Hey, ca see one time listener, first
time caller. Hey, the one thing.
Speaker 3 (01:36:58):
Two things.
Speaker 13 (01:36:58):
One was Bucky's for your advice. When we went out
to Tennessee, we stopped in. I was telling my wife
about it and she's Asian.
Speaker 3 (01:37:06):
She loved it.
Speaker 13 (01:37:07):
So I don't know about that Nick Tart that was
saying about what foreigners think. Absolutely fell in love with BUCkies. Okay,
about what the stupid Democrats are doing with the military, right,
you know. And then Trump replied about how it was
treason us. It is. But then they turn it around saying,
oh they want to you know, he wants to kill him.
(01:37:28):
You know, it's almost like he stepped into there purposely
so they could use that rhetoric.
Speaker 1 (01:37:33):
I saw, Thanks for the call there, sir. I saw
about four of these cats interviewed yesterday, and every reporter
is just like, can you give us an example of
one of the illegal orders you think the Trump's given?
And not a single one could come up with anything.
So none of that. All right, well that's gonna do it. So,
like I said, we're not here next week. Ross is
off till January fifth. Here he turned his auto replies on,
(01:37:55):
and I think he's trying to leave the studio right now.
That's weird. So we do not hate. We actually have
a different fill in. It's not going to be Gordon
deal next week, in case that matters to any of you.
And then I'll be back with you on what is it,
December first, so
We do enjoy a Friday around these parts. It is
also just a quick reminder, even though it will for
a lot of people go unheated. Uh we are not
on the air next week, Thanksgiving week, normal thing not fired.
Just an f y I or for you and uh
(00:21):
so just uh know that going in or you know,
start rumors about our demise you know whatever, whatever, I
guess floats your boat. And for mister Ross, this is
his last show of the year because baby baby madness
so which we didn't We didn't even know if that
(00:43):
was going to hit earlier.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
How that was gonna I thought it was going to
be early, but nope, that could be maybe next two days,
maybe to day.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
Is your wife's your wife's in the reverse fat bastard phase? Right,
and what is it of the gets better? Get it
in my belly? She wants it out of the right
right right, yeah, like over over it, you know what
I mean? All right, you can come on out. Yeah,
all right. So I'm working on my auto reply email
auto reply. Well I turn that on, but you're not
gonna turn on. Tell I am, I am.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
For the salespeople. It's not for you, It's for sales, Okay.
So they're not going to be like a like eight thirty,
but like here's twenty commercials you have to do when
you've been given notice some sound there, right.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
Yeah, okay, so you get it, so you turn that
on probably in the next few huh okay, all right,
so yeah, with that in mind, yeah, we'll do what
we do. We'll chat with Pete Caller like we do
at eight oh five h see if he's still in
the gulag or whatever they threw everyone in Charlotte in
(01:39):
based on the reporting I'm seeing here, so as we
have that, we got some vandalism going on, we got
tons more bad videos and various things. Apparently an assistant
principal and his brother up in Virginia were just arrested
because they were going They you know, had had some
(01:59):
fun discussions about, hey, what if I have these particular
firearms and I don't even know what they're referring to
with explosive ammunition that will go through Vess and then
let's go to Vegas to meet with like minded individuals
to train on how best to murder the ICE agents. Again,
(02:21):
this is an assistant principle and his brother, but the
principal part's pretty important. These are the shapers of young minds,
literally plotting to murder ice agents allegedly and to even
go with whatever like minded folks means. Is there some
weird like Antifa training thing out there in Vega? I
(02:43):
mean it would make sense. You can go out of
the desert shoe guns all day, nobody cares you. Don't
you really have to go that far out in the desert.
Got a little lawless around there, which don't get me wrong,
I'm fine with. I'm fine with that version of Western
freedom with stuff. Heck, I remember show, I remember growing
(03:06):
up going what's a gun range?
Speaker 3 (03:07):
What is that?
Speaker 1 (03:08):
Oh? You mean that part of the property we go
shoot on, or any public piece of public property we
go shoot on, or anywhere we really kind of want
to shoot because we're not lunatics. See the problem is
these guys allegedly are lunatics. So they were going to
avail themselves of that. Yeah, allegedly planning to fly to Vegas.
(03:28):
And by the way, do you know how they got busted?
According to the reporting, And I don't know if it's
the totality of it. They're sitting in like a diner
openly discussing it, where people can hear it allegedly and
people are like, I don't like the sound of that.
I'm going to contact law enforcement, get you out. Nobody
minds their own business when you're plotting the murder of
ice agents, I guess, allegedly, And that's how they got
(03:54):
That's how they got busted.
Speaker 4 (03:56):
There.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
So all right, few other things too. We got some
cancelations on the show. Some things we got to learn. Hey, Ross,
what is your presence under the tree theory? Excuse me? Uh?
Learning boxes? Under the learning tree policy? At your house?
Do you guys open only on Christmas Day? Is there?
Speaker 3 (04:16):
Do you get?
Speaker 1 (04:17):
You get like a freebe early? Some people do the
Christmas evening under the learning tree.
Speaker 2 (04:22):
I don't. I don't know what the learning tree are
the Christmas tree, I'm sry.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
No no, no, no, no no, it's the learning tree, the thing
with the ornaments on and the lights. Right, yeah, that
would be the Christmas tree, the learning tree. Okay, so
what kind of learning And I'm sorry, the Governor of
Wisconsin has decided that they're not Christmas trees anymore, they're
learning trees. So we're going learning tree this year to
(04:52):
help h commemorate people who have helped children learn and stuff.
So do you guys, do you get a do you
get a learning pack? Do you get a learning pack early?
Or do you wait for all the learning packs on
the morning on learning morning night?
Speaker 2 (05:08):
Right, So we gather around the Christmas tree and it's
it's in the morning on Christmas Day. You can't don't
do the day before or the night before. And we
don't do that.
Speaker 1 (05:17):
Okay, all right, so one one one learning present opening, uh,
under the learning tree all at one time.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
Now, when I was a kid, we would all get
under the Christmas tree on Christmas morning and my dad
would hand out the gifts one at a time. So
he would be at the base of the tree, the
Christmas tree and uh with the Christmas ornaments, you know,
and the angel.
Speaker 3 (05:39):
At the top.
Speaker 1 (05:41):
Yeah, yeah, oh, and you know he would pick up
like say a package would be like not the learning Fairy,
like you know, this one for Karen, and she would
pass it to Karen and she would open it watch
you know, yeah, and then we'd take our turn. The
way we do it in our house is the way
that Marky did it growing up where uh like, so
you get up and then you you get all your
packages and put them all in front of you, right
(06:03):
out from underneath the Christmas tree with the Angel and
the Christmas ornaments, and then the jury next to it, you know,
with Jesus, Mary and the Wise Man and uh, you
know all that stuff, you know, the Nativity scene, I believe,
you know, celebrating the birth of our Lord and Savior. Anyway,
we we put up all the packages, you know, everybody
gathers them, and then one at a time you go
around the room opening up a package. Oh okay, yeah,
(06:25):
so I mean there's different ways to do it.
Speaker 3 (06:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
No, that's completely different than the way we did it. Man,
So what would happen for us on learning morning?
Speaker 3 (06:32):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (06:33):
Is all of the learning.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
Talking about Christmas Morning.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
I've been instructed, I've been instructed by the Governor of Wisconsin,
Tony Evers, that it is a learning tree. These are
learning packages. This is learning. It's a learning day. And
so we're not using the sea word anymore. And I
guess the thing at the tops of learning Faerry, I
don't know so because we're doing this apparently we're doing
(06:56):
this again this year because he wanted to commemorate, they
put up the big learning tree at the Wisconsin State capital.
And so as people put a press release out reminding
people that it's a learning tree. So I'm just falling
in line, comrade. But no, we had a very we
had a very different strategy where I was growing up.
So what would happen is they get all the presents
that were under you know, the learning packages, and they
(07:19):
would uh dip them in honey and blood marrow, right,
and then they would strew them across the north pasture
right right as the critters were getting up. And then
you had to you know, you put on your snow
gear and go out there, and you had to acquire
your packages while dodging the various bears, packs of wolves,
(07:40):
and random other things that want to kill you. And
then once you've collected whatever you're able to collect, fought
off whatever you're able to fight off, and return to
the Learning Tree home base. Then and only then were
able to open presents, which you know generally just consisted
of lists of chores and stuff inside because they were
raised on grit. But yeah, that was fun. Yeah, buns,
(08:03):
as you get there for the wolves do they're very uh,
they they gang up on you. It's a whole thing,
very unfortunate.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
While you were doing that, I wrote my auto reply.
Oh good, now set up to be sent out if
anybody sends me an email. Okay, just to cover my
own ask. I'm done.
Speaker 1 (08:19):
Yeah, it's six fifteen.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
Good for you, save me an email.
Speaker 3 (08:25):
Save it work?
Speaker 1 (08:28):
Hold on?
Speaker 2 (08:30):
You know, maybe it didn't because you know what, all right,
I'm gonna send you.
Speaker 1 (08:32):
I'm gonna send you the learning some learning tree.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
Thanks so much. I'm gonna tweet that out.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
Yeah, learning tree facts for you. Okay, Hey, hang in,
you do you do?
Speaker 5 (08:42):
You do?
Speaker 4 (08:42):
You do?
Speaker 1 (08:45):
It's a link to the learning tree facts. You'll send
these over to Ross so you can tweet them out
to you so you guys can come correct on this
with the you know, with the learning the learning tree.
Speaker 2 (08:56):
I don't understand why they're calling it. Maybe already said,
but why are they calling it the learning tree.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
I'll tell you this is the second thing I think
that that.
Speaker 2 (09:02):
Is like super dumb.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
This is to your show. Oh. I can already see
the little red bubble next to your face there, which
means I'm gonna get an auto reply.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
Yeah, it is all dumb.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
I told you that. Really, the dumbest thing was back
when I was in Minnesota, they had one of the
big counties up there decided that it was going to
be season seasons something, or they just made up a
whole thing. According to Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers, the theme
this year of bringing the Evergreen tree inside the state
Capitol and decorating it is to commemorate what he calls
(09:36):
the learning Tree. That's right, this year's theme is the
learning Tree. So we make sure to send in your
homemade ornaments celebrating the heroes who help our kids grow
and learn. Send them in by I guess this well,
basically towards this weekend, and then they'll get him up
on the learning tree. All right, So I just got
an auto reply. Let's go check that bad boy out.
(10:00):
Uh okay, that's nice. As I'm out on paternity leave
plus vacation. I'll return on January fifth. It's a boy.
Happy Thanksgiving, Honkkah, Christmas and New Year. You forgot Learning Day.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
Ross, Yeah, well you know it's too late now I
can't fix it. It is what it is.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
It's very easy. You want to go over to the
file tab right and then they'll be apparently there and
the batteries on my keyboard died.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
Oh just a second ago. So I mean I can't,
I can't.
Speaker 1 (10:36):
Well, I remember I told you where the fresh batteries are.
Somebody there's somebody broke in and stole just the batteries sure,
out of the closet with prizes. It's a dang shame
they would just take batteries instead of the prizes.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
Who would do that?
Speaker 1 (10:51):
The grinch? I don't know. I don't know. That's at
a very good point. So anyway, Happy learning day coming up.
Six seventeen. Hang on, yeah, look at this ross. I
know you just finished putting a wing on your house,
but have you considered selling and upgrading? So there's a
I'm just looking at a real estate listing that kind
(11:11):
of went viral. All right, so here we go. This
is up in upon Long Island in New York. Twenty
four bedrooms, thirty eight baths, forty five thousand square feet.
It's set on twenty one acres, has about a half
mile of shoreline and a seventy five hundred gallon secret
(11:31):
shark tank. What yes, wait, shore line, it's got shoreline?
Actually no, no, no, what's about the shark tank? So
they have like a trap door doctor evil shark tank
or one. I don't know, but the way you wear
it like that, I kind of think so. And look,
if you're rocking a twenty four bedroom house, I think
you would probably you're rich enough where you'd want the
option to drop your enemies into the shark tank. Easy cleanup, Right,
(11:57):
problem solved. I don't know if it comes with the sharks.
You kind of wanted to you kind of wanted to
come with the sharks because now they kind of understand
their dig So did you have you considered upgrading to
the secret to Evil doctor lair with the shark tank
in the trap door.
Speaker 2 (12:12):
And being on the shoreline is really convenient because you
can just float the victims up to your house.
Speaker 1 (12:16):
Oh that's a very good point. Yeah, where no one
can hear them scream. Can we agree that you around
twenty one acres?
Speaker 2 (12:21):
Can we agree that somebody has probably like been murdered
in this house?
Speaker 1 (12:24):
This is a murder yees? Yeah yeah yeah, yeah. Hey,
well one person.
Speaker 2 (12:29):
Please, and you're saying it's Taylor Swift's old house or uh.
Speaker 1 (12:33):
You know what could be? Doesn't say it's not right,
So that's important there, And Taylor Swift, this is like
in the realm of what she could afford.
Speaker 2 (12:41):
So I think if sharks would be like so bedazzled,
you know what I mean, Like.
Speaker 1 (12:46):
Oh, like literally sharks with the vampire wherewolf thing have
sparkle sharks. Yes, although that would be slightly more terrifying,
wouldn't it. It would be you just plunged out of the
evil uh you know, the evil layer. Now you're in
the water, but you don't know what's all in the
water with you, but you have a pretty good idea
because you're like, ah, this guy's evil. It's trapped or
(13:08):
so clearly something's in this water.
Speaker 2 (13:10):
And you're trying to like see through the water, but
you should just see like some some shiny stuff and
you're like, let's.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
See, Uh, what's what's the movie they made about the
moon of Jupiter. There's a horror movie they made where
basically there's like these glowy underwater evil sea beasts that
are eating people.
Speaker 2 (13:28):
It's tremors.
Speaker 1 (13:29):
No, No, they did it. They did it. They did
a thing with one of the moons of Jupiter or
Saturn or something, doesn't matter. But the youuld kind of
be like that where they because you see the light
and that's what the terrifying thing is there? Only in
this case, it's just light reflecting off the be dazzling,
and you're just like, what am I in a kid's cartoon?
(13:52):
I'm about to get murdered by shaw I'm getting murdered
by sharks, right, And then it catches up with you
and you know what was up? But uh, yeah, oh
that's weird. None of our listeners call it a learning
tree either, don't know, don't know. But he's the governor
of Wisconsin and you're not. So there's that. Surely he
(14:16):
knows stuff? Or why would they make him the governor
of Wisconsin? Up there? You didn't think of that? Did you? Never?
Never even stop to consider it? What a shame?
Speaker 3 (14:26):
All right?
Speaker 1 (14:27):
Eight eight eight nine three four seven eight seven four.
You want to be on the show, That's how you
can do that. So one of the fujis it's the
fuji you don't know for most people, prass Mitchell, is
that how you say his name? I think it's I
think it's Haitians. It's probably a pronunciation.
Speaker 2 (14:48):
Wycleff. Wasn't Laurence Hill?
Speaker 1 (14:50):
Part of the Fuji's Lauren Hill wy clefft Jean And
then this this guy. Okay, yeah, this is this guy
has been since to fourteen years in prison for a
legal camp paying contributions to Barack Obama. But this is
more than just the guy. You know, uh went over
the individual contributor limit. What this guy was convicted this is.
(15:12):
It's actually really crazy because like he wasn't even bribing,
trying to bribe Obama on his own, on his own, behalf.
I have all the questions. Oh wait, hold on, somebody's
questioning the learning tree. Governor Wisconsin says it's a learning tree,
not not a sea word tree. So I guess that's canceled.
(15:35):
I don't make the rules people. Let's see. Oh and
then the house with the with the shark tank. But
he's like, will the lasers have would the sharks be
dazzled or or they have freaking lasers on their head? Sir?
If you have to ask whether they're gonna have lasers,
you probably can't afford it. I think people in this
(15:55):
bracket would understand whether the lasers are included or not.
It's just not polite to get into this.
Speaker 2 (16:00):
No, that sounds more like an ill, temperate sea bass
sort of guy.
Speaker 1 (16:03):
Yeah, you sound poor, sir.
Speaker 2 (16:06):
I mean, which is fine, it's fine.
Speaker 1 (16:08):
No, it's not no, no, no, no, no, dang it all right.
Murder shark pits in your own home are a storied tradition.
I don't know if you ross. You remember George Washington
had one of these mount vernon a lot of people
right there on the Potomac River. He also would float
his victims up there.
Speaker 4 (16:26):
You know.
Speaker 2 (16:26):
I saw that in the new Ken Burns documentary.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
Yeah, it's right next to the dative. Americans gave Thomas
Jefferson the idea for Congress. What you think I'm joking.
Speaker 2 (16:40):
I hope you are.
Speaker 1 (16:41):
I'm not joking. Shut up. Yeah, I'll find the cliffs.
Speaker 2 (16:45):
Oh man, they should have probably done that, then, you know, yeah,
they should have done that. They of these things were like,
you have an idea, right, and then somebody comes along
and steals your idea. It's happened to me.
Speaker 1 (16:55):
They're saying that the US Congress was based off the
Iroquoi Nation, which was the six bands up and up
in New York area there. And then they said and
then they said, he's, he's, he's he borrowed their words,
which is ironic because I don't know if you know
this there were no words in a written form. They
had no written language. But yeah, apparently conceptually everything was peace,
(17:20):
love and joy, and then they just we just lifted that.
Speaker 2 (17:23):
Can you imagine if Ken Burns made the Civil War
documentary now that he's like this far woke because he's gone,
that guy's gone.
Speaker 1 (17:28):
Yeah, yeah, he's sixteen nineteen for days. Yep. I yeah,
would have been a shame man, because that's still one
of the best series that's out there. You know, it's funny.
I was gonna go watch. I was gonna I literally
was gonna just try to watch the Burns thing, and
then somehow the algorithm fed me the really well done
(17:51):
Grant fourth part on on Ulysses s Grant have Did
you ever watched that? It's very well done. No, some
prime video. By the way, it's a four part series
on Grant. That's that. I would say, watch that, And
so then I just started rewatching that. I had watched
it already. I got like two episodes in just to
fill the time. Anyway, I'm I'm I'm off somewhere else here.
(18:11):
I'll find the other thing with your coination if I can. Again,
But let me read you this headline from the Washington Post,
what's likely to be slaughtered? Gay sheep find refuge and
a bit of glamor. Now I'm gonna throw my I'm
gonna throw my standard question on the gay animals, thing
(18:32):
that we always do because usually it's in a zoo setting.
I'll get to that here in just a moment, but
let me read you the subheadline. Grinder partnered with Rainbow
Wool and designer Michael Schmidt to create a fashion show
featuring clothing made entirely from the wool of gay sheep.
(18:53):
How do you know? How ross? Do you have any?
Do you have any wool wear? Sock? Uh? Maybe some
Filson stuff that's more of a Western thing, that's good stuff. Uh, sweaters, vest,
do you have any? Do you have anything wool?
Speaker 2 (19:08):
I probably have some socks somewhere.
Speaker 1 (19:10):
Yeah, dark Do you know if the wool is gay
or I don't.
Speaker 2 (19:12):
I don't. I never read the tag?
Speaker 1 (19:13):
Maybe and then how do you know? And then can
you have knockoff?
Speaker 5 (19:18):
Like?
Speaker 1 (19:18):
Uh? You know? Because apparently they charge of premium for it,
so but it's a thing. Designer Michael Schmidt, best known
for his work in metal, has made chainmail dresses for
share jewelry for collaborators with Blah blah blah Dosia Katina
turn or whatever, but is also an avid knitter, so
(19:38):
he jumped at the chance to do a collection woven
entirely from the wool of gay sheep. Again, how do
you know? And then and also could you like, all right,
so if you're gonna if that's a premium, how do
you certify that the sheep are gay? And what if
(19:59):
I have have some sheep that I think are gay
or maybe just you know, they were in college and
some stuff happened and they were curious.
Speaker 2 (20:09):
Like does Zach.
Speaker 1 (20:10):
I don't know if that counts. But it's a thing
right there, all right, So I'm trying to figure out
the angle on this thing. So here's my usual refrain
from when we start assigning human traits to animals, because
(20:32):
the animals do stuff for animal reasons, right, There's not
a lot of deep thought there, especially when you get
into slaughter animals or range animals like sheep or cows.
I told you nine ranching. Once you get out of
like the three big transitionary times, which is calving just branding,
and which is rotating, or when you're clearing stocks you're
(20:54):
selling cow cap, you know, in the fall. Once you
get out of that, ninety percent of ranchings just mitigating stupid.
You get up everywhere you're like, all right, what did
one of these dumbasses do today? And then you're like,
I never thought of that. I can't believe you did.
And then and then you work with that or you
fix that, and you know it could be somebody's got there,
(21:18):
somebody chewed through a large, pale, large feed bucket and
it's now wearing it as a hat but can't figure
out how to get it off. And now they're running
around the field taking weight off and get ready to
injure themselves. There's your assignment for the morning. So I
just don't know. But when you're assigning human characteristics, why
do we only sign the assign the characteristics that we
(21:39):
kind of want?
Speaker 2 (21:41):
Right?
Speaker 1 (21:42):
So you're being a loveyw thing like, look, these two
adopted this other baby, and I'm like, did they they
get the paperwork done? They go to the meetings with CPS?
What do you talk? Or this this animal's gay? Why
don't you assign evil treat uh traits?
Speaker 4 (22:01):
Right?
Speaker 1 (22:02):
Because if you have for every sheep, you're gonna find
her penguin, which is where this usually happens. So they're like, oh,
they formed this bond in this relationship, and now they're
adoptive parents. Why is there Why is there not a
terrorist penguin? Why is there not an ant to Why
is there not a penguin sitting around stewing in his
own misery because the other penguins don't talk to him
(22:22):
thinking about coming back and shooting up the penguin school.
That'll show them they're gonna learn. How come that? How
come that penguins not brewing over there? And you're assigning
human thought processes and characteristics to it? Because as surely
as the one exists, the terror, the terror wank terror
(22:43):
penguin probably exists too, the one that's a spousal abuser,
drinks too much, come home, flips out over innocuous questions.
She she says she's gonna leave, She never does. Her
family's concerned. How come that drama is not playing out?
Why do we just get gay sheep and adopt a
(23:04):
pair of penguins? I just want to I just want
to know. Are we only allowed We're only allowed to
sign what we consider we view as some sort of
positive trade, or were we ready to recognize that some animals,
you know, want ghod the tiny little penguin suicide vests
or something. So no, I reject your headline, but it's
(23:28):
probably a really good marketing angle, and you'll sell like
great twelve hundred dollars slippers or something made out of wool,
and for that I will be eternally jealous, because capitalism,
all right, six forty three? Hang on, Yeah, the shoe
bomber and the butt bomber will always always be some
(23:51):
og material around these parts. In fact, just for you know,
whats and giggles. Let's see if I have the old
butt bomber uh parody song because it is a it's
a crowd favorite. He ah, would you look at that?
How exciting for everyone involved.
Speaker 6 (24:13):
I put the bomb up my butt and I cannot
like it.
Speaker 1 (24:16):
Let him head it off to du bite.
Speaker 6 (24:18):
I just push it all in and I patiently, waked
and wearing it that the nates. It goes boom, Do
not sneeze our coffree maturely it go bow up, loop
it up. When I am from belving the discomforted bevering.
But don't call me an ignore ramos because I'm gonna
be famous, old bitch worth it. I'm not joking. There
better be some virgin wires. Are bookullas, Yes, mulllus. Just
(24:39):
stick this up my butt and let's make it, make it,
make it, make yes, sure, put my butt.
Speaker 1 (24:44):
Oh never too early for that. So and I also
like what I liked about the butt armor dude too
is he wanted to clarify that it wasn't actually in there.
It was more of a diaper. It's he didn't want
to be exploded into him million pieces, and also accused
of sticking explosives up his.
Speaker 2 (25:05):
Uh, listen, I'm a terrorist, but I'm not gay.
Speaker 1 (25:07):
Yeah. But by the way, I don't know if you
guys know this our favorite theory on this show. Uh,
we've kind of tapered off, but back when we were
getting new terrorist faces on the regular is how often
a story would then follow up their arrest about how
super gay they were, and it was like, are they
or is this just how you really drive the screws
(25:29):
into a terrorist, right, He's.
Speaker 2 (25:32):
Just like, that's one thing that's really going to piss
him off, you know, not like the hole you're gonna
blow people up things, but that they're gay. So let's
say they're gay, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (25:39):
Yeah, so we think that we think it's a psyop
theory because she had a whole big string of that man.
So I don't I don't know, but oh good lord.
We do have arika pressor audio still sitting.
Speaker 2 (25:54):
Around it just sound effects and stuff like that.
Speaker 1 (25:57):
But oh dang it. Okay, dude, there's a story. We'll
get to it here in the next hour. There's a
story in the stack. And it's like, it's like, I
can't tell you how often I'm scanning for stories, and
all of a sudden, I'm like, am I having deja vu?
What's happening? And we deja vued on the air compressor
story and it's horrible, and we'll tell you about it
(26:19):
coming up here in just a few minutes. I got
to give you the details though. Of the fujis dude
Prass or Prass, Mitchell or mckel or however you say
his name, he's the fuji. You probably don't know by name.
You know, you know Lauren and you know why cleft.
But anyway, so he was the third and he's going
(26:40):
to prison for fourteen years. Yeah, Grammy, Wayne Rapper Pras
mckel of the Fuji sentenced to yesterday to fourteen years
in prison for a case in which he was convicted
of funneling money to President Barack Obama's re election campaign.
And it was foreign money. And what's kind of interesting
(27:01):
is why who was funding it and what they were
hoping to accomplish. So the fifty two year old was
convicted back in April, so they just had sentencing of
ten counts, including conspiracy and acting as an unregistered agent.
In fact, at his trial, one of the people who
testified about the scheme was Leonardo DiCaprio, because you know,
(27:26):
clearly this guy's he's submitting money. He's got some high
profile friends being a member of the Fujis, so you
get it, as well as former age Jeff Sessions, an
interesting witness lineup. The Justice Barn prosecutor said that the
sentencing guidelines could have netted him life in prison. His
(27:47):
attorney won it three years, so they'll probably do some
appealing there. But yeah, so here's how it went down.
According to prosecutors. The Brooklyn native whose parents immigrated to
US from Haiti, who was a founding member of the
Fuji's got it, got it, Michel fell in with a guy.
(28:08):
He's a Malaysian billionaire named Low Tak Joe who was
known as Jolo get it, Yolo Jolo. It's very hip
was who was being investigated. Oh, by the way, this
is also the dude. This is why Leonardo DiCaprio really
(28:28):
got drugg in on this.
Speaker 3 (28:29):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (28:29):
This is the guy who also was one of the
primary financiers of Wolf of Wall Street. Now Low is
a fugitive has maintained his innocence. However, as part of
getting the Justice Department to look away from him, he
wanted to get it. He wanted to create a narrative
that he, in some way, shape or form, had these
connections with Barack Obama. So he tasked this dude who
(28:52):
had a relationship with Obama to basically be his you know,
his agent, so to speak. And what they were hoping
to accomplish. Listen to this. Lowe's motivation for giving the
dude money, the Fuji's guy money to donate was not
so that he could achieve some policy objective. Instead, Lowe
simply wanted to be able to obtain a photograph with
(29:13):
himself and then President and then President Obama. According to
attorneys there. I don't know. Maybe he thought he could
just show people the photo and they'd leave him alone,
which maybe I don't know, is some of the corruption
we're seeing within the DOJ that's been alleged. Maybe that's
the case, and this dude was more than happy to help.
(29:35):
And you know so in addition, but now when you
got foreign money coming in and you're lying about where
you're going to catch a bunch of charges, let's see,
there was one other little factoid in here I thought
was pretty crazy. Oh there it is. So back in August,
the judge rejected a request for a new trial. So
(29:59):
this guy asked for a t while after he was convicted,
a neutral after he was convicted because of ineffective counsel,
claiming that his defense attorney's use of a AI program
to do the closing arguments was not a good idea.
What so you used a generative AI program to handle
(30:25):
I guess in part, the closing arguments for the case
in which you were convicted, and then you think, well,
they can overturn it because that was a bad idea.
Like every time I've seen AI used in a court setting,
it's kind of been a bad idea. Remember the lawyer
who turned an entire brief with citations and cases that
never existed, and the judge it's like, none of these
(30:47):
are real cases. Because the guy never did the follow
up with the AI that you sometimes have to do.
He'd be like, is this real? It's like and it'll
tell you no, I made him up. This idiot lawyer
never thought, oh, well, you know, maybe I should, Maybe
I should at least verify these citations independently of the AI.
Now I just turned in the assignment, so I'm not
(31:08):
surprised that using AI as your U as part of
your defense, let alone your closing argument, is probably not
a good idea. But it's still an idea that you made,
and it doesn't sound like it was wildly ineffective. I
think that just came across as kind of weird, which
would probably be the case for most most people. All Right,
(31:29):
eight eight eight nine three four seven eight seven four,
you want to get on the show. Reminder, we got
Pete Calender. He's coming up at eight oh five, the
air compressor story. Because apparently everybody people need put on notice,
they need warned so they don't do dumb stuff. This
is why you know, we have the warning labels that
(31:52):
we have, you know, but don't use this iron While
you're still wearing the clothes, right, you're like, how did
that end up on there? And then you realize some
idiot it right. I just had a thought while I
was listening to the top of the hour dues there,
and the gist of it basically was like, all right,
spokesperson for ICE said that the Operation Charlotte Webb is done.
(32:15):
What if it's not? What if they're all just in
the bushes? I mean, think about it. Right, you put
the press release out, You're like, all right, we're gone,
everybody come out now, and they're all just like scoped
up in a in a gilly suit, just waiting.
Speaker 2 (32:31):
We're going home.
Speaker 1 (32:32):
Yeah, we're gonna be Yeah, we're really We're in virgin
yuh burro. Yeah you're not there.
Speaker 2 (32:45):
It's like when you play hide and seek with your kids,
all right, and you walk into the room and you
know where they are, but you see the same thing.
You're like, oh, where could Lincoln be? I don't know,
I'm believing I'm so and then like you stay in
the room and then he walks out from behind the
curtain you're like, oh, I gotcha.
Speaker 1 (32:59):
You're so I know you're four, but I got you. Yeah, yeah,
I don't know if it's like that, Yeah, we're we're
totally gone. You know who I was thinking of too
when all this was going on. We remember that story
of the dude in Durham who made everyone mad because
he has like a knockoff Border patrol truck paint job
on it. I can't remember what it says, like, it's
(33:19):
something like it's something like, uh, it's something kind of
salacious where it's I can't remember what it is. If
it's over women. I don't know if it's booby patrol
or what it is. But I just remember like the
existence of that truck was sending people and they were
freaking out on social media. What an interesting week that
dude must have had, right was driving around already got
(33:43):
this knockoff thing that is you know, you realize that
once you read it, but it does the color pattern,
you know, with the green stripe, and everything looks similar.
I met that dude had a very eventful week just
on his daily commute.
Speaker 2 (33:55):
I always thought it'd be so fun to have like
one of those old retired police car like the old
Crown vis. You know that they'd look like you.
Speaker 1 (34:01):
Have the spotlight on the window there or on the
side merea.
Speaker 2 (34:05):
And still sort of the painting that they don't you know,
you don't fix. It's just the old black.
Speaker 1 (34:09):
Buddy had one. They bought it. It was an old
They bought an auction to make you strip all the
stuff off of it. But if you see it at
night behind you, you just think a cop.
Speaker 2 (34:16):
It would just be fun, just because I'm sure you
would see it all the time. You'd be driving behind
somebody and suddenly they slow up because they think you're
a cop. But let alone like having like an ice
patrol van or something, or or you're putting yourself in
danger now because people are well, yeah.
Speaker 1 (34:30):
Remember our listeners who we had a couple of different
listeners who have SUVs who were just trying to like
sit there and eat a sandwich in the parking lot
and people were coming up with filling them.
Speaker 2 (34:40):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (34:40):
So I guess it depends on how interesting you want
your day to be. You go from there, But yeah,
I don't know. So they say they're done with the
Operation Charlotte Web, But I think if everyone's just hiding
into bushes today that also would be a rather interesting story. So,
(35:01):
uh well, we'll see how it goes anyway, all right,
seven oh nine here on the KCO Day radio program.
Let's see here, dude, do do do do? All right?
I guess we'll go ahead and do this story. And
I shouldn't have to do this story. I should have
had to do this story once when it happened quite
(35:23):
a few years ago. And I'm sure it's happy prior
to that. But I only should have had to do
this story once. It's not a funny prank now it
can be now, don't get me wrong. Shop pranks are funny,
and I don't care whether you work in a shop
and your adult life or if you really honed your
craft in high school with zero hour welding and wood shop,
(35:47):
uh and then advanced wood shop and uh advanced welding,
which we're you know, we're in the ag building. They
were fun. You know, if you've never dropped a hot
rod down the back of somebody's coveralls, you have haven't lived.
If you haven't made pipe bombs with the schools, is
settling to blow up the gravel pile? What are you
doing with your life? Shop? Pranks. However, there's one prank
(36:09):
in particular that is funny, but only from a distance,
and that is the air compressor. Right inevitably, what would happen,
especially at the end of you know, the end of class,
everyone kind of walks over the air compressure. They want
to blow off everything, and whoever's up front, whoever gets
that hose first, if they want to mess with somebody,
they may turn around and fire it right at you. Hilarious. However,
(36:35):
when you take the hose of the air pressure and
the joke is to stick it right into the backside
of your buddy, you might murder them. As has happened before,
as has happened again. Yes, a teenage wood shop apprentice
died after his coworkers inserted a high pressure air hose
(36:57):
up his rectum as a prank, which led to the
young man's intestines exploding. So don't do that, okay.
Speaker 7 (37:12):
No, Now, these guys they went quite a bit further,
because we've had incidents where somebody it just happened, they
just aimed it just right, and I don't know if
there was enough pass through and whatever they were wearing.
Speaker 1 (37:27):
In this case, they actually physically they pantsed them first
for I guess the full prank effect before all too
accurately getting that thing right where it needed to be.
I didn't know they were aiming to actually get it
right on, spot on, but it worked out that way.
(37:48):
And by the way, it took it five days to
succumb to his injuries. Now I had to look this up.
Is so it was just as recently as twenty twenty three,
almost in exactly the same incident happened, in this case
a sixteen year old where was this was in India?
Back in twenty twenty three, I saw something. Oh, don't laugh,
(38:15):
we just don't laugh.
Speaker 2 (38:22):
Ross.
Speaker 1 (38:22):
What do you think the name of the shop where
the twenty twenty three incident happened was, Oh, Man, I
don't know, Pooner, Pooper, flower and food.
Speaker 3 (38:32):
Shut up.
Speaker 1 (38:33):
I'm reading it right here. That is not a place
that's a play in India. It's a place that's a
made up name. I bet they changed the name, probably
not called that anymore. Back in twenty seventeen, a seventeen
year old car wash worker in the US had the
same thing happened to him, What are we doing? And
(38:55):
another incident in twenty fifteen in Italy. This is a
known commodity. So if I could, if I could convey
one message to you today, so that everybody can make
it to the holidays. Do not shove the air compressor
hose in your buddy's backside.
Speaker 2 (39:19):
The more you know, it's a prank, you know what
I mean, It's just a presk. It's just a prank.
Speaker 1 (39:26):
Wait, why do you have an air compressor?
Speaker 2 (39:28):
And you gotta come over see what I.
Speaker 1 (39:29):
Gotta No, no, no, I'm not going out because you
got the chickens in there, and.
Speaker 2 (39:34):
You know, you know like jokes. You're not a joke guy.
Speaker 1 (39:37):
Why do you you know what is the use of
an air compressor in a radio studio? It's so loud,
no sense of humor, man, That is not that is
we We make these rooms to be soundproof, and you
put the noisiest contraption you could find in there after
the chickens. Why don't you hit the chickens with the
(39:58):
thing and see what happens. But dude, I had I
had chickens in my backyard yesterday. I don't know if
you're right.
Speaker 2 (40:08):
No, no, no, So we have new neighbors to the
left of us, and they're amazing. Okay, Jennifer and Bryan. Right,
they moved in and they've been doing a lot of
work in the new house, and like they put sod
down and they've been putting like they're taking down like
the chain fence and putting in like a nice like
privacy fence.
Speaker 3 (40:19):
Right.
Speaker 1 (40:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (40:20):
So but to the left of them is Fong. She's
a Vietnamese immigrant and she has three lovely sons and
two of them in like college now. One of them
joined the Marine Corps, which I think is a fantastic
story because she's a Vietnamese immigrant. My father was in Vietnam,
and I think it's great. But anyway, they took down
the fence, like the chain link fence that was around
their yard, so the one that was next to Fang's.
And then next hours and Fong apparently owned some chickens.
Speaker 1 (40:43):
So yes, wait, wait, hold on, a Vietnamese woman owns
range chickens.
Speaker 2 (40:46):
She's fantastic, She's wonderful.
Speaker 1 (40:48):
I'm not picking on her. It's just that that's like,
that's absolutely a thing.
Speaker 2 (40:51):
But I went out yesterday to put the rake in
the side, you know, the closet out seeing because I'm
done with the rake for now anyway. And I'm out
there and I'm talking to Jennifer. I look over and
it's like this big like black chicken or whatever what
like a like a bird. Well I don't even like chicken.
Speaker 1 (41:05):
I don't know, And yeah, I don't know, you know,
I've never might have been a buzzard like it was
like and I'm like, what is that. She's like, oh,
it's fun's chicken. And I'm like that, I'm like, she
has a chicken. She's like yeah, she is, like she
had two of them, but a hawk came up and
like took the other one. Oh no, And I'm like, what.
Speaker 2 (41:21):
Are you gonna do? And she's like, I know, I
need to get get it back to Fong's yard because
it's just going back and forth to our retaining wall
back to like Fong's yard. And I'm like, you're gonna
be like Rocky chasing the chicken in that movie, you know,
like you.
Speaker 1 (41:32):
Know you're is it an aggressive chicken or I don't know.
Speaker 2 (41:34):
We did and Markey came out. It was like a
big ordeal like market come, there's like a chicken in
the bag. And she's like, no way. We're all back
there looking at it.
Speaker 3 (41:40):
You're not.
Speaker 1 (41:40):
You're making your nine hundred weeks president pregnant. Chase chickens?
Speaker 2 (41:45):
All right, will we hear?
Speaker 4 (41:46):
Like?
Speaker 1 (41:46):
Woman, get out of here and handle this.
Speaker 2 (41:48):
We heard it induces labor, so we get over with
So chase the chicken.
Speaker 1 (41:56):
You only is it suspense? Did you catch the chicken?
Get the chicken?
Speaker 3 (42:01):
Rock?
Speaker 1 (42:02):
Did you grease the chicken up? That's what you want
to do?
Speaker 2 (42:05):
The baby rock, you know what I mean?
Speaker 1 (42:08):
She's like, oh my water broke. You're like, you still
don't have the chicken. I think the assignment was clear.
Speaker 2 (42:15):
Anyway, that was fun. Okay, you don't see that every day,
you know what I mean?
Speaker 1 (42:19):
No, I guess the last you live on a chicken farm?
Speaker 3 (42:21):
Right?
Speaker 1 (42:22):
Yeah? Now, did you that when he caught the chickens?
You stick your air compressor hose the exploded the chicken.
Speaker 2 (42:33):
I don't know if she ever caught the chicken. I
hope she did, because her, that poor woman, she lost
the first one to a hawk, just came down and
just took it.
Speaker 1 (42:41):
Just happened to my friend's Pomeranian, and I happened to
be there that day, so I had to go on
a pomeranian search. That I knew was fruitless, and I
had to pretend like I didn't know it was fruitless,
even though I'm like, you're not seeing that pomeranian ever again,
there was a whole ass eagle that took that thing.
All right, I'll look for your look for your dog
(43:03):
for two hours, even though we hadn't eaten yet, and
I was still we're gonna eat right when we got there. No,
we're on. We're on a pomeranian hawk search or eagle searchs.
Got put it down, putting it down.
Speaker 3 (43:16):
I'm a big joke guy.
Speaker 1 (43:18):
Yeah, it's called comedy relief man Ross, funny guy Hayes. Yeah, no,
it's uh dangerous all right, seven eighteen hang on, that
is so funny. All right, So let's get some calls.
And I was not aware of this story, and it
apparently just happened in the last twenty four hours. So
uh well I did call it up. So we'll all
get educated together. Uh, Robert, you're up first, Go right ahead.
Speaker 8 (43:44):
Yeah, have a Swaying County the North Carolina Highway Patrol.
Just h they's a story from yesterday where a cat
actually completely went through a moving vehicles windshield because it
was dropped by an eagle.
Speaker 1 (43:56):
Yeah, it happened near Bryson City. I'm looking at it
right now on Highway seventy four up there in Swain County.
Troopers said the driver is able to pull the car
over the shoulder was not injured. Uh, it's not clear
whether the cat was already dead before it hit the windshield,
but it sure as hell was after, I guess.
Speaker 8 (44:13):
So, yeah, they the birds, they'll get get the chickens,
for sure. I had two or three chickens that just
kind of disappeared.
Speaker 5 (44:20):
Yea.
Speaker 1 (44:21):
For my property, Yeah, we had to, like we had
some chickens, and so we had basically you had like
the coup and then we had probably about the size
of like two parking spots of outdoor area where you
just had chicken wires like a ceiling, but everything was
open around it. And if the chickens would stay under there,
they were fine. But every now and then one of
(44:42):
the chickens be like, hey, I bet let's go check
out what's over there, and bad news, man, bad? Yeah,
all right, but can you yeah, you tooe brother. Can
you imagine you're on your commute, you're running late already,
and all of a sudden, a frigging cat pops through
your windshield. Now you buzz. You're like, where the hell
(45:03):
did that just come from? And it turns out to
be that Mark. What's up?
Speaker 9 (45:12):
Hey, good morning man. I was probing about the air compressor,
but I had a bald eagle pick up a deer
carcass in my backyard. I have like a little bit
of property and I shot and got it and you know,
whatever was left, and the eagle actually came down and
tried to pick up the deer cark.
Speaker 1 (45:29):
It's pretty cool, but people people don't realize, Like sheep
ranchers where I grew up, if you had small lambs,
an eagle could straight up pull into your lambs all day. Man.
Speaker 9 (45:39):
Yeah, they're huge. Have you ever stay on off? Plus
they're normans.
Speaker 1 (45:43):
They are dude. I was fishing on Rainy Lake, which
is like in northern Minnesota around the Canadian border, so
it's serene, it's peaceful, nothing's going on out there. We're
out in the skeeter. We're catching walleye and they have
a slot limit. So I got this one walleye. It's
not quite big enough and I do the thing where
I take it off the hook, give it a quick
measure and then I, you know, throw it off the
(46:04):
back of the boat, maybe like five feet. I did
not even clock the eagle coming in because that fish
made them did the thing where you know, for just
a moment they're like, oh, I'm back of the water,
hold on, let me get my bearings. And that fish
didn't stand a chance. And so this eagle it was
the coolest thing, but also it was terrifying dive bombs
this walleye that's maybe like ten feet from me. Jack's
(46:27):
it out of the water. Then and only then do
you realize how big these things are when they're splayed
out ready to go. Man, it's absolutely terrifying. And that
dude ate good that day, So good for him. No
slot for bold Eagles, Yeah, very cool. All right, Mark,
thanks for the call. Man. Yes, bald Eagles don't care
about licenses and slot limits and any of that stuff.
(46:49):
It's like, man, I'm an eagle, so that's not I
was on the guy's call screener was he said he
was gonna that it is a funny prank with the
air compressor. What no, don't do that, Leez. That's all
we asked, all right, eight eight eight nine three four seven,
because I don't want you to go to jail. I
(47:09):
don't want your friend to die. I don't want it
happened to you. I don't want your name to be like,
how did Bob go? Well, Bob's intestines exploded because Jim
put an air compressor hose in his butt. You don't
want that. You know what that did, tarnishing your legacy
going forward, So you know, be safe. I don't think
(47:30):
it's Osha complying either. Just something to think about, all right,
Coming up, we got a woman who hates BUCkies. Ross
just got into a fight with the microwave in the
uh in the kit in the little kitchen area of
the station here.
Speaker 2 (47:45):
Yeah, it's the first time I ever had to use
the microwave in there after the remodel. And it's the
one you have to like squat down way down. You
got to put it an ankle level. Yeah, so some
way down there, and I'm putting these like cheese egg
bite things in there, right am. I'm hungry to make
some of these things and to put in there like
and a half. So I get back in time and
then it's done, beat beat beat by all right, So
I go to open the door and it's locked, and
(48:07):
I'm pushing it.
Speaker 1 (48:07):
Locked on the thing.
Speaker 2 (48:09):
Well, yeah, I'm pushing it. I'm putting. I'm not noticing.
And then I look up and it says l oc
and I'm like LLOC, Like the heck is that you guys.
Speaker 1 (48:16):
Gotta understand too? Ross would have taken a bat to
this thing. Yeah, big bites.
Speaker 2 (48:20):
So I'm pushing it and then I'm trying to read
like the tiny letters on the on the thing, and
there's like a lock and unlocks. I'm pushing it, and
then the like an there's like a red picture of
a lock is now on top of the words locks,
and now it's doubly locked. And I figured out I
had to push the one down and hold the one
down for three seconds and unlocked so I'll get my food.
Why is there an automatic lock feature on the microwave
so people don't steal your food?
Speaker 1 (48:40):
I think eventually, when big government wants to police what
you're eating, then they can just keep your fat, fat
fingers away from it.
Speaker 2 (48:46):
You know, I was unaware this was the thing.
Speaker 1 (48:48):
Like I've seen it on I've seen it on a
flat top stove, right one that sits flushed on a counter,
which kind of makes sense because I had one. It
was very frustrating too, because you might inadvertently hit that
little lock button and the lights don't stay on. So
then you go to use the stove and you can't
get the damn thing to turn on until you put
your thumb and a hole on the lock button for
(49:09):
like three seconds and then the unlocked. But it was
very frustrated the first time I had to figure that out.
I've never seen a microwave do that and to automatically
do It's not like a h hit a button to
do it.
Speaker 2 (49:20):
It's just like your food's done. Now it's locks and
nobody can take it.
Speaker 1 (49:22):
I guess, well, nobody took your food did that? It
did not, So you had that, but I almost took
a back to it. Oh which podcast did you flip onto?
The little radio and the sales pit.
Speaker 2 (49:35):
The Jim Cornett experience.
Speaker 3 (49:37):
Jeez.
Speaker 2 (49:38):
So every morning I've been walking in in the hub
area and they have like, you know, a smart speaker.
Speaker 3 (49:42):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (49:42):
Every morning it so hip.
Speaker 2 (49:44):
Yeah, it typically plays shows and or you know the
station's here.
Speaker 1 (49:47):
Yeah, they just say hey, Alexis and then doing so
I've been walkingst triggered something for people.
Speaker 2 (49:52):
Right, So I'm like, hey, play you know the Steve
Austin podcast, or play in this Morning and shows Jim
Cornett and he's just saucy, yeah, dropping bombs and yeah,
it gonna be good to come into this morning.
Speaker 1 (50:03):
A little surprised for the salespeople on a Friday.
Speaker 2 (50:05):
He was talking, Yeah, he was talking about a cage
match or something when I was trying to bust into
the microwave.
Speaker 1 (50:12):
Mm hmmm, well that would have been appropriate. Yep, yeah, yep.
Did you hit the microwave with a folding chair with
it with a stunner? Oh? See? He tombstone the microwave everybody,
it'll watch out, all right, Well, that thing's probably busted,
although it kind of sounds like it was broke because
it thinks it's a safe. So what if it's what
(50:34):
if it's a trans uh, what if it's transitioned from
a microwave to a safe and you've disrespected? It's how
it feels. Do you every think about that shoving food
in there? It's like, I'm a safe. You put money
in me?
Speaker 2 (50:48):
Now, I guess I guess my bigotry knows no bounds
now it's just like, yeah, clearly you can't help it.
Speaker 1 (50:56):
So yesterday was the funeral for former Vice President Dick
and what a cast of characters that were there. By
the way, I saw a couple of little videos where
he had, you know, I got the boy George Bush
gave the eulogy, obviously the man he served under. He
had the family there, but you also had this rag
tag group of what I would I guess I would
(51:18):
describe as all the names you kind of remember from
the nineties and politics, and there are two thousands. And
then also you had would you say, Rachel Maddow was there, right,
Rachel Maddow, who probably never had a nice thing to
say about Dick Cheney's at his funeral, But you know
(51:38):
who wasn't at his funeral? And then the media had
to pretend like they couldn't understand why, I don't know,
maybe uh oh yeah, the president, Karen.
Speaker 5 (51:48):
We're learning neither President Trump nor Vice President Vance were
invited to the funeral.
Speaker 10 (51:53):
How significant is that and why were invited?
Speaker 11 (51:57):
It's not surprising, Diane. And really, if you look at
who is there in the Washington National Cathedral, it's a
who's who of the Republican Party before the era of
Donald Trump, which is a very different era here in Washington,
d C. To see President George W. Bush sitting there
with former President Biden and their spouses Kamala Harris there
(52:18):
as well, it's so significant to think about what this
town looked like and how different things were before the
Trump administration. And there is no love lost between the
Trump's and the Cheney's.
Speaker 1 (52:31):
For you guys and the Cheney's and the Bushes, who
were your Donald Trump for eight years, we had to
listen to George Bush and Dick Cheney and Carl Rove.
We're essentially the you know, the triumvirent of terror around
the world. And now it's like, oh, can you believe this?
(52:53):
Like the real tragedy is that you didn't have a
hot mic near where Kamala Harris was sitting next to
a Joe Biden. Ah, I'd love to be a fly
on the wall for that. He was talking about no
love laws. No, it would have been more confusing if
Trump advance were there. That would have been the story.
Speaker 11 (53:16):
Cheney last year said he was not voting for he
was voting for Kamala Harris in the election after declaring
that Donald Trump was the most grave threat to democracy
this country had ever seen and he should not be
returned to power. That back and forth, it all started
back after the attack on the Capitol in twenty twenty,
and of course when Donald Trump disputed the election results
(53:39):
that year, and so this also became very personal when
Cheney's daughter, Liz Cheney was part of the January sixth
Investigative Committee. And you see that now there today where
she will be speaking and President Trump and Vice President
Vance will not be in attendance there.
Speaker 1 (53:55):
So it's some kind of win.
Speaker 4 (53:56):
Ha.
Speaker 1 (53:57):
They got him at the end. You know what I
didn't see yesterday? Maybe I missed. I didn't see Trump
trash tweeting Cheney either. I mean he was he was
busy storing the media up with tweets about uh uh,
you know, the traders and stuff, which you know, everyone
lost their mind over. We'll get to that.
Speaker 4 (54:15):
But like.
Speaker 1 (54:18):
You, you took this man's funeral and you made it
about Trump. That's the other thing. Maybe you could have
just covered the funeral. Hey, who's here? I thought George Bush.
I watched a little bit of it. I thought he
gave a pretty good speech, right, and he was talking
about why I chose Cheney and and all those things,
and again, I'm from Wyoming. We have a weird relationship
(54:39):
with the Cheney's just because you know they're there. It's
kind of a I will say, it's a it's a family.
They're they're political royalty in Wyoming, but they kind of are.
And people in Wyoming are very you think you think
you're locked in on h not wanting to hear from
(55:02):
somebody who's not considered a true Wyoming night. I look,
I because I lived elsewhere because my dad was under
contract for a while. Like even though my family had
been there for generations, generations, I'm like, there are people
are like, well, if you missed a minute living in Wyoming,
then I don't really care what you think. It's It
could be very insular with that stuff. And the Cheney's.
(55:25):
There was always that thing because he wasn't from there.
And then he was in Casper and he did very well,
and then and then in Laramie and then in Cheyenne
with his first you know, his first elections with from
a statewide perspective, and they ran for Congress. And then
once you've kind of sold out and now you live
in Jackson. People have a different opinion of you in Wyoming.
(55:47):
And again this isn't even judgment. I'm giving you the
reality on the ground, so that's its own thing. And
then people really liked when Cheney first got in there,
but then they didn't feel that he really gave a
crap about Wyoming that much. That's just small town stuff.
But it's just another lens as far as what you're covering.
You're covering National Dick Cheney. You're covering Vice President Dick Cheney.
(56:09):
Look at this, Look at the star power in the
audience there, and he decided to make it all about Trump,
who nobody on this planet assumed was going to that
funeral nor would be invited to that funeral. And everyone
understood why. No one was surprised except you. All right,
seven forty four. Let's get that weather guy in here,
(56:32):
shall we. He's ready to go.
Speaker 3 (56:34):
How you doing, sir good nailed it last night.
Speaker 1 (56:40):
And T's done it. Team is Goofy. He's got with problem,
told you man, goofy.
Speaker 3 (56:46):
Yeah, it was uh.
Speaker 1 (56:49):
I can't in the air, I can't handy caap nothing. Man.
You guys probably get it. We're probably you're probably gonna
win by eighty this weekend.
Speaker 3 (56:58):
What'd you think of the uniform? Did you like the
all red?
Speaker 1 (57:02):
I'm just happy because there was a college game last
week where there was two teams that were red and white,
and I'm just I hate when that happens. So they
can be whatever crazy color they want, as long as
they're not mistaking them. There's there was a Jets Eagles
game one time where it was like, this is dumb.
Speaker 12 (57:22):
Yeah, well you certainly could tell the two tell the
two apart last night?
Speaker 1 (57:25):
Yeah, yeah, there was no question who was on which
team there, right right?
Speaker 12 (57:30):
But anyway, so yeah, it's worked out good, and the
weather not working out so great this morning.
Speaker 3 (57:36):
See this little.
Speaker 12 (57:36):
Patch of rain going through the Triangle as we speak.
It looks like it'll be tapering off her shortly. Some
fog around, and still some spotty showers here and there,
but nothing significant for the rest of us. As we
go through this morning. I'll stay cloud a little bit
sixties this afternoon. I might get a little more rain
tonight tomorrow, maybe even a thundershower of the wise partly sunny.
(57:58):
There's gonna be plenty of dry hours tomorrow. It's not
one of these things where it's going to rain all
day at least still look that way mild, And I
don't know if you've been feeling it like it's been
a little humid, you know, over the last week or so.
I mean a little more humid than you think it
would be.
Speaker 1 (58:14):
Yeah, but not like repressed, not like when I think
of community in North Carolina.
Speaker 3 (58:18):
It's the nasty. Yeah, there's been a little bit it.
Speaker 12 (58:21):
Tomorrow be warm, it's a little bit seventies, and then
we'll finally get the low past us, the second low
at a front and will be a little cooler but
more seasonable on Sunday and Monday, upper fifties to a
little bit sixties and sunny. Another chance of rain Tuesday Wednesday,
but sun should be back by Thursday, Thanksgiving Day. A
little tricky travel on Tuesday Wednesday into Wednesday night, but
Thursday does look good with sunshine at the upper fifties,
(58:43):
so more seasonable temperature is finally starting to get here
towards the holiday.
Speaker 1 (58:48):
Okay, all right, we'll do this one more time with
you and one hour after have a good one, all right,
and we will come back. Just a reminder eight oh
five pete calender he'll be joining us from the occupied
people Liberation Republic of Charlotte or whatever to give us
a little boots on the ground thing fresh from a
gool log. I understand it's been shuffled into So we'll
(59:09):
see if he can get a little burner phone in there.
We'll do that. Eight oh five here on the CaCO
Day radio program. Ah, you got done in by big government.
All right, we're getting to the bottom of microwave gate
here on the show. So multiple listeners have sent this.
Now I had no idea about that.
Speaker 2 (59:25):
It's insane.
Speaker 1 (59:26):
Yeah, no, all right, So let me just read this
real quick. Starting March twenty twenty four, so that microwave
would have been after because they just did the remodel.
Starting March of twenty twenty four, federal law now requires
microwave ovens to be equipped with an electronic door lock
safety function. I'm so, are were kids crawling in the microwaves?
(59:47):
Is hard?
Speaker 4 (59:48):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (59:49):
Are there's cemeteries full of irradiated children's tombstone?
Speaker 2 (59:53):
Yeah, I encountered a child safety lock. Put it put
there by the Feds. Wait, yeah, and you open it
when you put your food in. There's no lock, but
your food is done cooking you need it. There's like
a two or three step process, and this one was
like three to open the door. And there's no.
Speaker 1 (01:00:07):
I don't have the booklet, I don't have the instruction. Man,
you know, I've never encountered the company. The company just
put it in there.
Speaker 2 (01:00:11):
So my food, my egg bikes are in there.
Speaker 1 (01:00:13):
And I'm literally like Nick Cage and National Treasure trying
to figure this puzzle out to get back before the
commercials are done, Like what is happening here?
Speaker 2 (01:00:20):
Why can I get my food?
Speaker 13 (01:00:22):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (01:00:22):
You just know it adds like ten to fifteen dollars
probably the cost of every microwave. They just can't help themselves.
How many ross back in the day, how many of
your classmates did you lose to tragic crawling in a
microwave and nuke themselves?
Speaker 2 (01:00:37):
Sure, let me check none, But no, back in our day,
it was the cherry stuck in the fridge.
Speaker 1 (01:00:41):
Yes, yes, that made sense at least, and I understand,
like I get the gist of this is the microwave
gets done. Kids really excited because the food's done, goes
over there, grabs it. It's still too hot, kid burns themselves.
I'm assuming that's what this is, or or there are
secret mass graves of children who crawled into microwaves and
(01:01:03):
somebody's like, we gotta do something. The microwaves are getting
the kids. You know, the irony that the break room
from the moment I started in Raleigh had the same old, yellow,
really gross looking microwave. We had that for what like
thirteen years and it was the same microwave and you
(01:01:24):
know what, it didn't look good, but you know what,
it did a good job of microwave and food.
Speaker 2 (01:01:29):
No, it's the equivalent of the old nineteen seventies you know,
for refrigerator you having there.
Speaker 1 (01:01:33):
It's now in the garage, still working.
Speaker 2 (01:01:35):
Yeah, it still worked. It was fine.
Speaker 1 (01:01:37):
Yeah, the thing was fine. It's I mean, it looked
very appealing and it didn't have a lot of different functions.
It's like you want a microwave something or not. It's
like all right, But it was easy to use. There
was no learning curve. I had that thing figured out.
Like that wasn't part of the getting to know you tour.
They come down they're like, all right, here's here's your studio,
(01:01:57):
here's your office, here's uh or your desk or whatever.
It is here's where the CDs are. If you need
commercial music. We didn't have. We didn't have a microwave day.
Speaker 2 (01:02:07):
I really came close to breaking that microwave though, because listen,
I have over forty plus years of microwave experience on
my resume. Right encounter that, I'm like, obviously it's broke.
Speaker 1 (01:02:15):
He puts that on his resume too. It's very weird,
but you respect it, right, and so you're like, that's
that's several decades, that's that's good man.
Speaker 3 (01:02:26):
Yeah, I remember.
Speaker 1 (01:02:26):
I still remember, like as a kid the microwave had
as a kid, it was it was one of it
was like the oversized one, and it's sat above sat
above one of the stow we had two stoves. Uh,
don't ask me why, but it sat abou above one
of the stoves. And and to use it as a kid,
if you're a little kid, we had the little step
stool thing that was always in the kitchen. But I remember, man,
(01:02:48):
that thing was like early gen microwave. It only kind
of did the one thing and you could like put
your hand closed, you could swear you could feel the
radiation exooting from it. But it did a bang up
job of nuke and food was great. Now they got
child locks on them, and you're so now you're trying
(01:03:09):
to just think about how like Clark Griswold freak out
you are. You're in your kitchen simultaneously trying to nuke
food and get something out of the fridge, and now
it won't let you have your nuke food, and the
fridge is beeping at you because you left the door
open for more than one eighth of a second or
whatever the timer is on that.
Speaker 2 (01:03:26):
Yeah, we ran into that problem yesterday and they were
stocking up the fridge because we have family coming in
because the baby's coming on Monday, right, And now you
have all the groceries on the table, we're putting them
in the fridge, and Marky's closing the door, like, why
is the door closed? It's beeping at me. Yeah, the
con is it for a minute or two before, so
do stop beeping.
Speaker 1 (01:03:41):
And you're like, oh, I'll just untook this wire and
then now your thing doesn't work right or you just
don't want to screw with it now. It says here
in this one little thing from Panasonic that somebody sent
me that there is there is a way you can
unlock it in like eighty two easy steps where you
can deactivate that thing. Okay, yes, so you just have
(01:04:02):
to have the nuclear codes I think, and the knock
list and one of those those crystal skulls I think,
and then you can you can deactivate that feature on there.
Speaker 2 (01:04:17):
Yeah, but you only get the code if you're in
Skull and Bones. That's the issue.
Speaker 1 (01:04:20):
Oh so now you've got to go to Princeton or
Yale or whatever app Oh geez, that's not especially nowadays.
Speaker 2 (01:04:26):
You know how hard it is to acquire the bones
of Geronimo. It's nearly impossible.
Speaker 1 (01:04:29):
It's hard, well, I mean apparently not if you if
you've heard some of the stories where they've been borrowed
and used. Looking at you, George Bush. So I don't know,
don't know, all right, Well, I don't know if we'll
get into microwave tech with poor Pete calendar, but at
least at least we kind of solve the mystery. So
(01:04:50):
there's that. We appreciate that. Oh, I have to do
the BUCkies lady here. And then after we talked to
Pete from reporting this week was was under full occupation
by literal Nazis. They've quietly shuffled people into camps and
goologs throughout the area. It's it's very martial law you there.
And that is why it is so impressive, so brave,
(01:05:12):
so stunning that mister Pete Callender, a man under occupation,
was able to I'm assuming keister a phone in there
so that he could call us this morning and tell
us all about it. Pete, how you doing?
Speaker 4 (01:05:25):
Am I allowed to say this?
Speaker 1 (01:05:27):
I don't know. That's up to your new overlords there.
Speaker 4 (01:05:29):
So yeah, that's why I was checking with.
Speaker 1 (01:05:32):
So I'm to understand I'm doing fine.
Speaker 4 (01:05:34):
I'm doing fine.
Speaker 1 (01:05:35):
Yeah, all right, they're telling you to say that good.
So I'm to understand that the city of Charlotte was
basically non functional for the entire week. No kids were out,
no shopping was to be done. It was essentially like
early COVID lockdowns. Was that the vibe around those parts?
Speaker 4 (01:05:53):
Yeah, well, look, I mean I got, you know, phone
calls from people that were commenting about how the traffic
was much lighter for the for the work week. I
did notice that myself, but it's hard to you know,
quantify that. And we did know that it was something
like thirty thousand kids at Charlotte Mecklimer schools did not
(01:06:19):
show up, So that's about I don't know one fifth
of the population at CMS at all.
Speaker 1 (01:06:28):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (01:06:28):
Yeah, it's my understanding that those kids are free to educate,
so it's not like it we can draw no conclusions
from the fact that one n five kids in the
CMS system, you know, might be costing us money to educate.
So we can't make any.
Speaker 1 (01:06:47):
Connection there on that. Real quick, since we're not making judgments.
This is right zone. You've covered how long have you
covered school politics right as a reporter?
Speaker 4 (01:06:59):
Twenty host Yeah, like twenty five years.
Speaker 1 (01:07:02):
Do you know that?
Speaker 4 (01:07:03):
Well?
Speaker 1 (01:07:03):
You know, so you know what one of their big
things is. They always talk about it's and they want
usually they want more money so they can reduce this thing.
But I said, I had to cover school board meetings
for years. They will not shut up about class sizes, right,
And so I'm sitting here going, well, wait a second
if because I saw videos too where teachers would like
(01:07:25):
shoot video inside their classroom and they're like, look at all, right,
here's the kids that are there, but look at all
the empty seats. And I'm also like, why the hell
are you filming the kids who are there. This seems
in a.
Speaker 4 (01:07:34):
Pat Yeah, we weren't allowed to do that. We would
have to only shoot video of their feet as they
walk down this week. Otherwise you needed permission from their parents.
Speaker 1 (01:07:43):
But I'm looking at They're like, this classroom is supposed
to have twenty eight kids in it and there's only fourteen,
And I'm like, isn't this what you wanted?
Speaker 4 (01:07:51):
Right?
Speaker 1 (01:07:52):
And also I got some spy reports from teachers who
listen to the show, and they said that when you
have students in a class and they are sl students,
a lot of times, it impacts the speed at which education.
Speaker 3 (01:08:04):
Is No, yeah, no really yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:08:08):
Yeah, that was the thing they brought up on multiple
occasions in my email inbox. So like a way, in
a way, shouldn't you make lemonade out of that?
Speaker 4 (01:08:20):
Yeah? I saw one interview with a Charlotte Mecklenberg teacher
who said that his class of is normally I think
he said sixteen, and this was a high school level class.
He said, it's normally sixteen and this week there were four.
Get four? Right, So like that's almost a tutoring gig,
(01:08:40):
you know, yeah, yeah, I mean talk about you know,
one on one instruction, personalized instruction. But yeah, to your point.
So here's the and here's the tension. Right, they're always
talking about reducing class size, except in college. In college,
you can pay like forty grand a year and then
(01:09:00):
sit in a class of like eight thousand people virtually, right,
something like that. That's totally fine. But anyway, so at
the K twelve level, they're always talking about reducing the
class size. But on the other hand, they get paid.
The schools get paid based on the attendance exactly, so
they always want the attendance counts up. Then if they
(01:09:24):
you know, if the kids end up leaving the school
or whatever, that's fine because they do the count on
like the twentieth day of the school year, and then
that determines their funding level from the state. So they
always want those numbers jacked up at the beginning of
the school year. So yeah, there's this tension. You want
all of the warm bodies so you get the per diem,
but then you want the smaller class sizes. So it's
(01:09:49):
a it's a self perpetuating cycle there, right. So you
can then always argue for more school construction, more bonds,
which would pay for those new schools. Yeah, it's it's
just a cycle that keeps going. And now when you
kind of get a glimpse, it's it's actually the Customs
and Border Patrol operation dubbed Charlotte's Web, it actually has
(01:10:11):
been more successful than any of the day without an
immigrant protests.
Speaker 1 (01:10:17):
Oh that's a good point. Yeah, yeah, ye're doing those
things too, do Yeah, but you buy them? Never show
one hundred do you buy one hundred thousand number? But
there's one hundred thousand. Uh, there's one hundred thousand illegal
immigrants in the Charlotte area. Because I kept seeing that
number get thrown around, which would be about what eight
to ten percent of your population in the greater Charlotte area.
Speaker 4 (01:10:38):
Yeah, I believe that.
Speaker 1 (01:10:39):
Okay, Yeah, And that's the problem.
Speaker 4 (01:10:42):
It's very difficult to come up with these numbers, right,
But I mean you can look at just the Hispanic
population legal and illegal. They don't differentiate it somewhere in
the neighborhood of like fifteen to sixteen percent. Now, so
include all you know, illegal immigrants, and we're about a
million people. So yeah, that would that would seem to track.
Speaker 1 (01:11:03):
Now they're reporting this morning that Charlotte's Charlotte Webb. I
think it's just Charlotte web which is confusing to me too.
Speaker 4 (01:11:11):
They probably sued like yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:11:13):
Exactly, but now they said it's over. And then I
had this thought crossed my brain, and I'm like, what
if it's not? What if? And Ross's examples like when
you're playing hide and seek with your young kid and
you can see their feet sticking out front of the criage.
You're like, all right, I'm leaving the room now, right,
and then your little idiot'll pop his head out in
like ten seconds. I got you, so, like, what if?
(01:11:35):
What if Border Patrol said that? But they're all just
in like gilly suits this morning, just hanging out, just waiting.
Speaker 3 (01:11:44):
They could.
Speaker 4 (01:11:44):
I mean, that would be a tactic. I don't know.
It doesn't seem like that's been something that they've done
in the past. I think they I've seen the reporting
that they're you know, heading to Raleigh and Hickory.
Speaker 1 (01:11:55):
I think I came to Durham. That was fun this
incidents there, right, chase him around, whistling at him, follow
him around, and they took some pepper balls to the
windshield and then and you know, they always have to
act shocked. When the police respond, they would start screaming
simult how could this have happened? But I will say this,
and I don't know if it's just being in it, Pete,
Like I swear there was an uptick in the amount
(01:12:20):
of lunatics, Like I even felt like there was more
than when in Portland. When they were in Portland that
were that are willing to follow around, obstruct and physically
threaten ice officers who are trying to do their job.
And I feel like there were the moonbats were just
coming out of the coming out of the woodwork. Like,
listen to this.
Speaker 5 (01:12:39):
Chesters in Charlotte, North Carolina have had enough of ice,
so they snuck onto the grounds of the hotels that
had been housing ice agents, and yesterday ice agents woke
up to all of their tires.
Speaker 1 (01:12:58):
She's so cross, she's so proud.
Speaker 5 (01:13:01):
So South is nowhere near as Republican as y'all have
been led to believe they are, because why Also in Charlotte,
someone's mema hopped out of her truck with a called
it a piece done in a bum rushed these ice
(01:13:22):
agents that were trying to arrest people putting up Christmas lights,
and they all.
Speaker 1 (01:13:26):
Got in the car.
Speaker 4 (01:13:30):
Listening.
Speaker 5 (01:13:31):
Is this North Carolina is a standard ground state. And
if someone pulls up on you and your family doesn't
identify themselves and tries to.
Speaker 3 (01:13:40):
Kidnap you, she's just saying trying to find out.
Speaker 1 (01:13:45):
I guess Yeah, there's so much bad advice in that.
I think she's a deal agent. But remember when the
mema came out, the pistol pack of mema and chased
all the ice officers away. Remember that the Christmas member,
that's not what happened. Oh it's wait, what is that not?
Speaker 5 (01:14:05):
How?
Speaker 4 (01:14:05):
No, No, they were, Yeah, they they asked the guy
who was hanging the Christmas lights, he was standing on
the ladder. They asked him their questions, which we had
a border patrol agent on the show, former border patrol agent.
He lives in the area, and he called in and
we were discussing. He's like, we have like ten questions
we run through the it's the same questions no matter
where you are, And we are within one hundred miles
(01:14:25):
of an international airport here in Charlotte. Charlotte sug was
international and that's your that's your international border. So they
were they can ask these questions and then through the
questions they arrived at uh you know recently, they start
with reasonable suspicion and then a probable cause standard.
Speaker 1 (01:14:43):
Right, yeah, they're not even asking I saw I saw
probably the same video where they asked like five or
six people and yeah, only one person that they even
asked to show them paperwork.
Speaker 3 (01:14:52):
Right, Yeah, Well, and here's the yeah, because.
Speaker 1 (01:14:55):
That's the thing, and where if people have been through
a border check station in internal one, if they've ever
driven through Texas, Arizona, California, like, these things exist. These
are not new, right, just.
Speaker 4 (01:15:06):
Because people in Charlotte have no idea because they haven't
seen it. But here's the other thing too. We have
a lot of people that are not from here. They
are from blue states that have moved to Charlotte. It's
one of the fastest growing areas in the country and
has been for the last thirty years. So no, it's
not surprising that we have a large share of left
(01:15:27):
wing crazy people. A lot of them, you know, have
retired here, sold their homes up in you know, the
Northeast or whatever, and they've come down here because they've
destroyed the affordability and liveability of their own home states.
So then they have come here, so that's not surprising.
But also, you know this woman who was yelling at
the agents and stuff, she didn't actually yell at them
(01:15:48):
until they were driving away like that. Like, I watched
that video and it was ridiculus. Unless there's some other
video that y'all are talking about. I saw the one
with the guy on the ladder hanging the lights, and
it wasn't until they drove away that she started cursing
them out like that's like and that's such a punk move,
you know, like, oh, now you're going to run your
(01:16:09):
mouth as the agents drive down the street.
Speaker 1 (01:16:11):
Yeah, yeah, well but remember they kidnapped that fifteen year
old from the groceries.
Speaker 4 (01:16:16):
He's not fifteen wait.
Speaker 1 (01:16:20):
Miss Lee. The crazy part about that is is the
media said fifteen, his employer said twenty, and then the.
Speaker 4 (01:16:28):
After he said fifteen, yeah, the employer said fifteen or sixteen,
And then when somebody else was like, no, I think
he's like eighteen, and he's like, okay, maybe twenty, it's
like okay, well, like what are we even talking about now?
Speaker 1 (01:16:40):
And to me, I feel like, does I feel like
he's eighteen? But he was using somebody's ID to work
which I know no, and like I'd pull my hair
out because at no point did any of the TV
stations covering this ever attempt to surmise that they don't
know fifteen.
Speaker 4 (01:16:59):
Right, And so this is the permission structure. We've talked
about this in various different ways over the years, right,
the the erecting of the permission structure that this is.
This is the result what you saw these leftists doing
out on the streets, right, trying to impede law enforcement.
They are empowered by a media that is complicit in
(01:17:19):
the mission. Media is running around posting their videos, right,
because if you have one of these videos and you'll
get you know, media companies will reach out to you,
can we run your your video? They are complicit, right,
So they they then send this message to the protesting
crowd that this is all acceptable. We're all find they get,
(01:17:41):
they get the virtue signaling rush, the dopamine hits, and
then the media gets to elevate them and say we
are just as virtuous as as y'all are. And here's
the thing this is, I know we've talked about this
too before, which is suicidal empathy, right, And that's what
this is. When you have, for example, and in a
culture that ranks very highly honor right think Japan, right,
(01:18:06):
people would kill themselves rather than to bring shame to
their family or their country. They would commit harikari. Right now,
that's what happens in a culture that values honor as
its top principle. Right, Well, we have one that is
now valuing empathy. And so now all the permission structure
(01:18:28):
is aligned for you to do whatever you need to
do because it is the highest principle to show that
you care. I care so much, I'm going to ram
my vehicle into armed law enforcement officers, and that then
gets celebrated because we have ranked empathy as this highest principle.
Speaker 1 (01:18:50):
I try, I have racked my brain trying to think
of an example where the right leaning half of the
country all collectively decided that a major portion of our
laws just don't apply anymore, and they can take physical
action to demonstrate that. I can't figure out what it is.
Speaker 4 (01:19:08):
I can't figure out what it is besides January sixth,
we again there, right, no, And that's and see this
is one of the differences. Right we all expect the left,
the left wing to behave like this, and so because
we expect them to act like children throwing tantrums on everything.
(01:19:32):
We we just kind of go about our normal lives.
That's what made January sixth so different, which is that
this was people, a group of people, they don't do this,
and for them to now go out and do something
like this. That's what I think scared so many people
on the left was it's like, that's what that looks like.
You have pushed these people so far that they are
(01:19:53):
willing to walk through the capital looking at some of
the paintings on the wall and such.
Speaker 1 (01:19:58):
Yeah, or yeah, or photo bomb Pelosi's office. Yeah, all right, hey,
real quick, just as I got you on a hot
garbage level of ten to one to ten, ten being
the hottest of hot garbage, did you realize how hot
garbage Roy Cooper's hurricane relief system apparatus was.
Speaker 4 (01:20:21):
Yes, I give it a ten. I give it a ten.
And the reason and I suspect you may have kind
of had an inkling about this as well, given that
you know it's been a decade and people still are
not in their homes.
Speaker 1 (01:20:36):
Was that so?
Speaker 4 (01:20:37):
Yeah? I mean, especially if you set up this Office
of Resilience and Recovery, it's kind of right there in
the name Office of Recovery, like you should probably be,
you know, getting people into homes after you know, maybe
a year or two, but a decade that seems hot garbage.
Speaker 1 (01:20:54):
Yeah, yeah, I kind of thought the same thing. If
you guys haven't seen the report from A Bullock the
auditor there, it's a doozy and it's not surprising. Basically
it was form over function, which is pretty typical. But
we're gonna have to leave it there. We're not here
next week, so it'll be you and us. We'll see
(01:21:15):
you a couple of weeks. Pete, thank your back. YouTube brother.
So w R A L did a fact check yesterday
and it's the here go here it is does the
does the government pay Home Depot to arrest immigrants in
their parking lot? The answers they don't. Okay, So that
that But the fact that we're even having to go
(01:21:36):
down this road, why would you think that?
Speaker 2 (01:21:38):
Yeah, I was gonna say, is that like a thing
that's been going around like a rumor?
Speaker 1 (01:21:41):
Yeah, I get there's Yeah, they showed some like thing
that was getting shared on Blue Sky. I know you're shocked,
but like you you've been to Home Depot. I'm not
picking on the people who work there, but do you
think they want something else to do? Right, They're already
They're already gonna deal with your innane spackle questions or
pretend when your wife's in there that there are thirty
(01:22:02):
six shades of white, right with a straight face. That's
their job. They're they're not out there doing They're not
out there doing massive rest in their own barking lot.
So yeah, they did a whole home they did a
whole fact check on this. Yeah. According to Beth Barlow,
(01:22:22):
who is a spokeswoman for Home Depot, quote, the story
is false. We do not have contracts with DHS or EYES.
We are notified when activities are even happening. In many cases,
we don't even know that the rest may have taken
place until long after they're over, or if somebody tells us.
So No, the guy in the orange smock or apron
(01:22:47):
does not also have arrest powers, So no, I guess
would be the answer. Hey, you want to hear another lunatic,
All right, check this out. And I don't know why.
I guess maybe this is her version of a review,
but it's just I like it's missing all the key points.
So this woman went a little viral because she finally
(01:23:07):
went to a BUCkies and she is not impressed.
Speaker 14 (01:23:09):
I'm at BUCkies right now, and yeah, I just am
looking for an explanation of what the hype is like.
Speaker 4 (01:23:17):
It is.
Speaker 14 (01:23:18):
This is hell. Someone's like, you gotta go to BUCkies.
You got I mean, this is like a cracker barrel
and a gas station vomited all over each other and
then made the ugliest clothes you've ever seen. I'm actually
horrified because I think this is what Europeans and other
people around the world think of when they think of
American culture, Like in a can.
Speaker 1 (01:23:38):
I stop you for a second? Man, Ross, you've seen
these video? You ever seen any of these videos where
European travelers or in the US and they go to
a Bucky.
Speaker 2 (01:23:46):
Yeah, you know. There's a pair of British guys that
I saw like they've been done a bunch of all
their and then they've had the opposite reaction where they're like,
look at this thing.
Speaker 1 (01:23:56):
I want to move here for Yeah. So I don't
think you've see those. And I've told this story. The
funniest thing to me when I was in Ireland, but
I was in the same hotel. Kind of got to
know this older couple who were Welsh and they were
there touring Ireland. Is the thing that they would not
shut up about was the width of our roads. You
(01:24:17):
never know what people are going to be impressed by. Man,
Like every conversation that the husband would have to make
some point about how why the roads were because they
went to Colorado or something, And I'm like, you were
the rocky mountains and you talk about the roads and
not the giant ass mountains. Those must have been some
great roads anyway. So she's not digging the BUCkies atmosphere
(01:24:38):
or the clothes or really anything.
Speaker 14 (01:24:40):
Topian way like, no, it's real and I'm in here
right now.
Speaker 2 (01:24:44):
What is this?
Speaker 14 (01:24:46):
I'm so scared the excitement surrounding serious as an institution,
as an indicator of the state of the mental health
of the citizens of this country.
Speaker 4 (01:24:55):
I think if you.
Speaker 14 (01:24:55):
Were excited about BUCkies, you need to go see a therapist. Walmart,
husband hopped home.
Speaker 1 (01:25:03):
This is you know what it is. It's it's the
flyover East Coast smug liberal vibe that she's putting off.
And the irony is Man, if you if you ever
stop to give it any thought why BUCkies does a
couple things differently and really accentuates that it's literally targeting you.
What do you think the mindset is behind BUCkies? Just
(01:25:24):
two big decisions for BUCkies. One the bathrooms, the cleanliness,
the quality of the bathrooms, and then two not allowing
semi trucks. Who do you think that's aimed at? I
can tell you because I've heard the BUCkies people talk about.
Speaker 2 (01:25:37):
There's a lot of context missing here from her argument,
or maybe she's purposely forgetting it. Like listen, if BUCkies
was just you know, next like a Walmart just in town, right, right,
you'd be different.
Speaker 1 (01:25:49):
The problem.
Speaker 2 (01:25:50):
Here's here's why BUCkies is amazing. If you've ever had
a drive of over ten hours, which they don't really
have over in Europe because it's very tiny, but here,
you know, two hours isn't even considered long drive. Some
people make the commute every day. Right, So you're driving
for sixteen hours and you have two alternatives. One is
(01:26:10):
you can stop in Alabama, which we did. Yeah, at
the bathroom there at the you know, at the welcome center,
Welcome to Alabama. Remember the story. We're driving Louisiana and
we stopped in there and Lincoln at it. Go so
I'd get linking out of the car and we go
into the rest stop there and there's no doors on
the stalls. There's one guy off, there's one guy squatting
(01:26:31):
taking a dump right and on each of the stall.
Speaker 1 (01:26:35):
Once again no doors. There's no doors, and the walls
of the stalls are plastered with human excrement. It's kill.
It was the most disgusting thing you have ever seen.
The worst Jackson Pollock painting you've ever awful. Yeah, are
you have the alternative? You have a BUCkies which is
(01:26:58):
like you're going through the desert and you find a
bunch of water.
Speaker 2 (01:27:01):
Right, it's an oasis. It is. The brisket is amazing.
The beaver nugget nuggets are great. The bathrooms, the bathrooms
are immaculate. The doors are complete privacy. It's amazing.
Speaker 1 (01:27:17):
Ex paintings are nice. They are not there, they're nowhere
in sight. Okay, these are by the way. This thing
you're talking about right here with the bathrooms is a
conscious decision the BUCkies made to appeal to women. This
is what you have. You have to understand how many
marketing choices are about appealing to mama bear right, that's
(01:27:40):
what they're there for. Because if when you're when you're
on the road trip, right, Mom, dad in the car,
kids are in the car, you're figuring out where to stop.
Chances are if mom knows the BUCkies has clean bathrooms
and there's a safety factor by not allowing semis there.
They've literally they've tested this. Consumers perceive the entire area
as safer.
Speaker 3 (01:28:01):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:28:01):
And so if you've got little kids gonna run out
and you don't want semi trucks around there, you know
that there's gonna have clean bathrooms and that they are
doing it to target, to appeal to women who are
generally the decision makers, mostly because they got to pe
every five Yeah, not only in the bathroom safe clean,
but they're safe, yes, yeah, and these are and the kids.
It's exciting for the kids after and I'm talking about
(01:28:23):
a long road trip. You've been driving twelve hours. You're
driving across this giant, beautiful country of ours, and your
your relatives are doing it right now, right, yes, yeah,
And there's food and there's toys for the kids, and
there's stuff, and it's for some reason, it is a
wonderful break from the long, monotonous, boring drive. So this
woman can kick rocks. Yeah, this is why if you
(01:28:44):
ever go out west, you drive around out West, there
are there are places that are legendary as stopovers. Now,
don't get me wrong, you got pagros and you got
stuff out. But like if you've ever had to make
the drive on ninety through South Dakota, even before you
get South Dakota, and then every mile from the moment
you enter the east side of South Dakota to the
(01:29:05):
roughly three hundred miles it's going to take you to
get to Waldrug, you are going to be reminded of Waldrug. Waldrug,
This Waldrug. You would think this is the shining city
on the hill by the time you get there, and
it's not. It's just a really cool place where you
can go refuel. Generally, it's pretty clean, a bunch of
(01:29:25):
food options. They have a bunch of those Old West
things where you stick your head through the thing so
you can look like you're in the Old West for
the photos. Right, you know what I'm talking about. Got
a bunch of those people stop there. It's absolute pandemonium,
but organized and family friendly, and people respond accordingly because
you're just driven through South Dakota and there ain't nothing.
(01:29:46):
There's a corn palace, a couple of cabellas, all the
deer an antelope you could ever want to look at,
and then this waldrug. There's oasis out there in the
middle of nowhere, and people stop there. BUCkies has just
figured out how to fleck Son on a national scale.
And you know what, ma'am, I don't think BUCkies. If
we don't want to be there, then don't go there,
(01:30:07):
and BUCkies will be a better place for it.
Speaker 2 (01:30:08):
We are currently we have a dilemma at the Hayes
Compound because like what Bucky inflatable do we put up?
Do we put up the Santa Christmas inflatable? Or do
we put up the It's a boy inflatable? Which one
we'd both?
Speaker 1 (01:30:23):
There's crossover if you think about it, right, Hey, which
boy are you referring to your own? Or the one
in the manger? So do you have your giant BUCkies
learning tree inflatable? Though?
Speaker 2 (01:30:37):
What is that's what you mean? The Christmas tree?
Speaker 1 (01:30:41):
I'm sorry. The Governor of Wisconsin is determined that this
year will referred to as a learning tree. So get
with the program, Bigot there you go. Yeah, Christmas trees canceled,
Learning trees in and we're all better off for it.
Or so I'm being told. Rased agent is here, he
can call whatever he wants. Oh he's not there. Okay, great,
(01:31:03):
you know why he probably got trapped.
Speaker 3 (01:31:06):
I'm here.
Speaker 1 (01:31:07):
Uh we thought you got trapped in a microwave. Do
you know the new micro might have a build safety
feature on there?
Speaker 3 (01:31:14):
They do or don't.
Speaker 1 (01:31:15):
Yeah, I had never Ross, and I had never used
the new microwave they put in the kitchen studio at
the station, and Ross went, do some breakfast in there,
and it beeps and then it won't let you have
your food. You got to punch in like the Yeah, no,
it's a new federal regulation.
Speaker 4 (01:31:29):
Right.
Speaker 2 (01:31:29):
How many years a microwave experience do you have on
your belt?
Speaker 12 (01:31:32):
I probably have. Let's say H'm fifty four. Probably a
good deal of fifty four years.
Speaker 3 (01:31:39):
Right, So he started at the young age.
Speaker 2 (01:31:40):
You put your food in and it beeps and it
doesn't open. What do you think if it's not opening
and you're pushing the thing, You're like, this.
Speaker 3 (01:31:45):
Is broken, Yes, thank you, and.
Speaker 1 (01:31:47):
You're gonna you're gonna break it open, Like the end
of office.
Speaker 3 (01:31:50):
Yeah, absolutely depends on what's in there.
Speaker 12 (01:31:51):
If you've got a hot pocket in there or something, Yeah,
I'm taking somebody out.
Speaker 1 (01:31:55):
So all microwaves starting last March. I have to have
the stupid child safety lot because I guess kids were
crawling in there and getting nuked or something. I don't know.
It's very frustrating.
Speaker 3 (01:32:04):
I can't.
Speaker 1 (01:32:06):
Coming.
Speaker 12 (01:32:10):
Well, I got I got three spars in the basement,
so until they all run out, gotcha?
Speaker 3 (01:32:15):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (01:32:15):
Maybe?
Speaker 3 (01:32:16):
All right, real quick.
Speaker 1 (01:32:19):
Here, what's going on?
Speaker 12 (01:32:20):
Yeah, still a little bit of rain around today. The
heaviest steady is pushing through in east right now. Maybe
a little more tonight, tomorrow, Today a little bit sixties,
tomorrow a little warmer, a little bit seventies before the
system passes. And actually see that rain taper off in
the morning tomorrow. Get some sun in the afternoon. Sunday
looks good, Monday good, and then a chance of rain
mid week before it turns a little chillier by Thanksgiving,
(01:32:41):
but a little bit more seasonable.
Speaker 3 (01:32:42):
Are are you here next week?
Speaker 1 (01:32:44):
Nope? Not at all, not at all.
Speaker 3 (01:32:45):
Okay, sounds good, Happy Thanksgiving?
Speaker 1 (01:32:48):
All right? YouTube?
Speaker 4 (01:32:48):
Brother?
Speaker 1 (01:32:49):
All right there you raced agic and we will be
right back. He's spelled greening Denise finish us off for
our Friday.
Speaker 10 (01:32:55):
How you doing Yeah, pretty good. I hope you're doing
well this Friday. Netflix, Comcast, and Paramount are being very
closely watched, Casey, because they've just made bids for Warner Brothers.
They submitted bids for Warner Brothers Discovery by yesterday's deadline.
We could see some more movement on that in the
coming days. A lot of drama going on there because
(01:33:17):
Warner Brothers Discovery has really struggled under its current leadership
and they've had what four owners in the last seven years.
Some good news for technology in your home. Smart home
cameras from Amazon and Google could soon work together the
standard that helps devices play nicely together. It is being
expanded to support video cameras for the first time. Stranger Things.
(01:33:40):
Nike and Converse are dropping five more eighties centric sneakers.
A week before the final season of Stranger Things releases.
Nike and Converse are unveiling a whole series of sneakers
inspired by the Netflix series. They've got this Converse X
Stranger Things, Chuck seventy Shoe, Great Canvas with W s
QK radio station graphics and embroidered sound waves on it.
(01:34:04):
Whole bunch of things could be kind of a cute
gift for Christmas. Stock futures are higher. That's after New
York Fed President John Williams indicated the Fed could have
room for another interest rate cuts soon. Down futures are
up two sixty three s and P futures up thirty five.
Nasdaq futures up one twenty one. But it is an
absolute bloodbath for Bitcoin, down today to about eighty three
(01:34:25):
thousand dollars of bitcoin. You know, holders have lost about
twenty five percent of their portfolio value since the peak
last month. Extreme fear in the industry among some traders.
On the other hand, there's this one guy, Tom Lee
of Funstrat Global. He ses bitcoin as high as two
hundred thousand by the end of January. That would be
what almost triple what it is right now. And casey uh.
(01:34:47):
If Grandma seems to be laughing a lot at the
dinner table this Thanksgiving, this could be why more Americans
opting for cannabis infused foods and shrinks on Thanksgiving infuse
Seltzer's stuffing Turkey. As all the regulation around cannabis disease.
So if you're cooking, you might want to cook a
little bit extra because you might be cooking for the
munchiet crowd, especially with this whole thing with the what
(01:35:10):
is it the cousin walk or the dog walk that
millennials and young people going, and you know, dispensaries, say
green Wednesday, the day before Thanksgiving is one of the
biggest cannabis sales days.
Speaker 1 (01:35:22):
Good, it's n name. That's great, all right, Denise. Well,
look a reminder. We're not here at all next.
Speaker 3 (01:35:28):
Week, so oh I'll miss you, but have.
Speaker 1 (01:35:32):
For live reports. Yeah, we'll do probably not cannabis confused,
have a good one.
Speaker 10 (01:35:36):
No, but I'll be thinking about you when I take
that extra helping of stuffing.
Speaker 1 (01:35:39):
Okay, enjoy love guys. All right, there you go, Denise pelligreedy,
Happy Thanksgiving to her, and all right, real quick, a
couple of phone calls around things out. Let's start with Mark.
What's up, Mark Dane?
Speaker 15 (01:35:51):
Good morning? How are you doing it?
Speaker 1 (01:35:53):
Good sir?
Speaker 15 (01:35:54):
Yeah, Hey, I wanted to comment on a couple of things.
Pizza in the last half hour. I mean, he nailed
it on January sixth. The reason everyone keeps bringing that
up is because it is unusual for people on the
GOP side to get violent and get out of hand
like that. It's a true man bright dog story. If
you're going to go journalism one on one, them getting
out of control at Doug White Man, they've been doing
(01:36:15):
another way back to eighteen fifties Kansas, right anom. Yeah, Yeah,
they do it all the time, so it's commonplace. So
that's you know, Dog White's man. And then the resistance
to ICE. I mean, these people are just being undemocratic
if you goin to use their language. Trump was not
He didn't hide anything. He was running on. He said
he's going to do this, and the majority of Americans
(01:36:36):
voted for it. Everything he's doing is constitutional and under
the law. These people are just getting worked up. They're
trying to evoke a reaction and get violent.
Speaker 1 (01:36:44):
It's thank you for the calls reached the Project Chaos
thing one hundred percent. All right, Bill, you're the last call.
Speaker 13 (01:36:51):
Go right ahead, Hey, ca see one time listener, first
time caller. Hey, the one thing.
Speaker 3 (01:36:58):
Two things.
Speaker 13 (01:36:58):
One was Bucky's for your advice. When we went out
to Tennessee, we stopped in. I was telling my wife
about it and she's Asian.
Speaker 3 (01:37:06):
She loved it.
Speaker 13 (01:37:07):
So I don't know about that Nick Tart that was
saying about what foreigners think. Absolutely fell in love with BUCkies. Okay,
about what the stupid Democrats are doing with the military, right,
you know. And then Trump replied about how it was
treason us. It is. But then they turn it around saying,
oh they want to you know, he wants to kill him.
(01:37:28):
You know, it's almost like he stepped into there purposely
so they could use that rhetoric.
Speaker 1 (01:37:33):
I saw, Thanks for the call there, sir. I saw
about four of these cats interviewed yesterday, and every reporter
is just like, can you give us an example of
one of the illegal orders you think the Trump's given?
And not a single one could come up with anything.
So none of that. All right, well that's gonna do it. So,
like I said, we're not here next week. Ross is
off till January fifth. Here he turned his auto replies on,
(01:37:55):
and I think he's trying to leave the studio right now.
That's weird. So we do not hate. We actually have
a different fill in. It's not going to be Gordon
deal next week, in case that matters to any of you.
And then I'll be back with you on what is it,
December first, so
