Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
CODA radio program. And I mean there's a reason the
word madness is in all that. I'll just say that,
just say that, like madness is sitting there early on
and what what what? What were they? Twenty nine points?

(00:20):
You couldn't even get a money line bet on that.
Watching High Point University absolutely stun amazing, amazing, just just crazy.
Watching Duke in the first half against Sienna when they
got a what did Sienna go up like eight points?

(00:41):
Nine points? At one point you went c who was
up eighteen? And I took two and a half points
with what did? Why'd you do?

Speaker 2 (00:50):
Me?

Speaker 1 (00:50):
Like that? All in all and absolutely insane day man,
just sitting there trying to digest all of it. Uh ros,
I know you don't really watch any of it. Do
you follow it on Twitter? Though? If only for your
Siena connection? No, you don't care. Yeah dude, they so

(01:11):
here's Sienna was They were making Duke look like a
mid major inferior nothing program. And you know the problem
with that is there's still Duke. They have some real
injury concerns this first game that you know, the big
man's not there and that's I got it. But like

(01:31):
all right, so so do you know, Duke had to
go in there, and they had this obligation to sit
there and go, all right, well, we got to get
it done with the players that we have for the
first game, because then we get our big boy back,
we get it. There's a couple other injury things, but
all in all, you just got to make it through
the sixteen seed. That's all you gotta do. And Sienna
made him look stupid in the first half, and then

(01:52):
they go to halftime and Duke's say, oh yeah, yeah,
we're Duke, that's right, and you know, so so that
way that went where it went. The high point thing though,
that's just crazy town, man, right, because I remember last year.
I remember last year we were sitting here and like
people were upset because one of the students on the plane, right,
they put a picture of all of them going, you know,

(02:14):
training staff, a band, I don't know who else who
all was on there, but they're like, oh my gosh,
that one kid has a maga hat. So we had
to deal with that stupidity. But they were just happy
to be there, right, happy to be there. And so
now a second year in a row, boom, here they
are and then they go in and they walk shop

(02:34):
over Ohio State who. I don't know if you know
this is just me picking on you, but Ohio State
fans do not take things like this. Well, They're very
this is this is why they had the They emphasized
duh in front of you know, anytime they talk about
the school that they went to, it's it's got to
be just panemonium up there in Columbus. But here is

(03:00):
here's the call, by the way, by the high Point
broadcast team, the student broadcast team. It's Johnson got the
show and hold on freak goes the other thing. He

(03:29):
as a young broadcast because I've been there, I've been
there as a young broadcast. Ross. Did you ever do
any sports broadcasting play by player color? Even?

Speaker 3 (03:38):
Did you ever know?

Speaker 4 (03:38):
And I've always said I believe it. Probably it's like
the hardest thing to do.

Speaker 1 (03:43):
Yeah, yeah, good good good sports.

Speaker 5 (03:46):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (03:46):
And and those two roles, by the way, both are
incredibly hard to do if you want to do them really, really,
really well. Because a lot of people think, Okay, we
got the main guy, then you got the the color guy.
No no, no, no, no no no, they.

Speaker 4 (03:58):
Got a jive but all yeah, I mean, doing this
for a long time, just seeing what the really good
ones do and watching like the speed while you're watching
a game and you're listening to it, like it's just
my natural reaction.

Speaker 1 (04:10):
Like that's really hard to do. It's hard to do.
I've done color for hockey, uh, collegiate hockey, and and yeah,
I didn't do play by play when I did the
Viking stuff. I did one of the pregame shows. So
that's as close as I've gotten any of that. But
like when you're young, you like you just you think
of all the things you can say, and then you're like, well,

(04:32):
I would I would feel dumb saying Cinderella story right away,
because you know that's such a thing. And you could
just tell he had this one like locked and loaded,
and you know what, I think it qualifies. I think
it qualifies. Although I don't know that I could not
do it in a Bill Murray accent myself, but that's

(04:53):
just me. So yeah, check out the rest of this cart.
It takes it in bounce nine seconds. Boy walks it
inside tie six seconds.

Speaker 3 (05:14):
Shy boy.

Speaker 1 (05:19):
They launched down court on the last slipper.

Speaker 6 (05:25):
It's here we go.

Speaker 7 (05:30):
Two.

Speaker 1 (05:30):
The first time the plam mister.

Speaker 2 (05:35):
Rights through.

Speaker 1 (05:36):
We will see you in the around of thirty two
of trailing yeah eighty three, oder eighty two or the
center house. He's met Wisconsin. Excuse me, but yeah, so
high point over in Madison, people are exactly the same it. See,
there's a big ten sickness with Wisconsin, Ohio state and

(05:57):
all of that. Sorry, sorry, I've got like things bounce
around in my head. So but my point is this.
The high point call is great, But the stat that's
the most fun about this is the you' see here
I want to set this up is right at the end,

(06:20):
with like fifteen seconds left, the final bucket for a
high point. Chase Johnson is his name. Sorry, I had
it in front of me and that I closed it.
So Chase Johnson drops those two points in those are
the go ahead points to go ahead and get the
w ross. How many two pointers do you think Chase
Johnson had during the regular season, the guy who scored

(06:44):
the two points to go ahead and win this thing?
How many two pointers do you think he had during
the entire regulars? Fifty fifty undred points? It's yes, it's
less twenty, it's less ten. It's less than that. Bob

(07:06):
that is less than that. Now, you just you just
eat your yodler. No, he's a three point shooter. He
hadn't shot it. He had shot He had not made
a two pointer this year. The guy who scored the
two point basket had not made a two point basket
this year, according to this insane article, I'm reading little

(07:29):
finger roll with eleven point seven seconds left. There you go,
what did he what did he attempt for? He's just
an outside shooter. He's a four point he's a three
point specialist. That's what the guy does. Then he's gotta
go up. He's got it. He's got to hit a
layup man, got it? Or a finger roll this Uh,
but still good time for the you be able to

(07:49):
turn that skill back. That's crazy, man. Congratulations to them.
Absolutely a little different, uh, a little different up the
road there bizarre bizarre post game with Huby Davis there
at u NC. Just maybe Belichick's happy that they're not

(08:13):
focusing on him this week now, because yeah, UNC did
not get it done, and it's gonna be a judging
by Twitter, it's gonna be a very long day for
tarhell fans today around the area. So I feel for you.
It's the nature of the thing, right, this is he
has a trash talk empire on this stuff. So but

(08:35):
I guess you have a tar heel fan, you work
with whatever, just know that they're they're gonna be going
through some stuff today. It is what it is. Here's
the coach got a.

Speaker 5 (08:43):
Little bit tired there.

Speaker 1 (08:44):
I did not.

Speaker 3 (08:46):
I didn't Cubert, why did you go to just a
six man rotation in the second half?

Speaker 1 (08:54):
Because that was my decision. He's very good, good at
the coach who just lost and doesn't want to be
their role, which I appreciate you guys like this. It's
actually the one thing about Belichick and kind of like, yeah,
all right, I like that. He's Davis is very good
at it. Just where you're not really answering, but you're answering.

(09:16):
You're meeting there the bare minimum. But man, and and
it's understandably.

Speaker 3 (09:21):
So, coach, what did you generally?

Speaker 1 (09:24):
What do you think went wrong?

Speaker 8 (09:28):
What do you mean, Hubert the free throws again, as
you mentioned a little bit of an issue tonight, Why
do you think that was such an issue for your
team throughout the season.

Speaker 3 (09:40):
That's a great question. I mean, we work on them.

Speaker 5 (09:44):
And.

Speaker 1 (09:49):
Yeah, so it was a little a little awkward. They're
at the the old postgame press conference. And by the way,
also when the high Point did beat Wisconsin there it
knocked the ESPN brackets gone only three for some reason,

(10:10):
three percent of brackets that I pointed there or something
maybe that number that I'm sure that number is a
lot less. That's the one that I saw on the
fly yesterday. Well, there you go, there you go, way
wild day Duke is still in CNA, almost did something
incredible and unc state or we watch him from home.

(10:36):
All right, we got lots to get to and boil boys.
There's some audio today, not more so than just David's
there and the high Point broadcast team. But we'll get
to that in due course. Of course. Pete Calender he'll
join us. That'll be coming up eighth five, as per usual,
right here on the CaCO Day radio program. I don't

(10:57):
think I've laughed that hard watching a clip since Frost.
Do you have what do you think is your funniest
What do you think is the funniest Trump clip out there?
It could be from the previous one too. It's just
watching them work. The fry stuff is pretty good. The
trash truck is good. Visually that that second meeting or

(11:21):
press conference he did where he where he upgraded the
fake news ship of Jim Acosta in the Yellow Room.
That was like an hour and a half press conference
in his first term. That was dude, that was wild.
But he's sitting there with the Prime Minister of Japan
yesterday and a Japanese report. You know how these things go,

(11:43):
Where you get the two world leaders, then they'll they'll
do questions and then they'll allocate. You know, the US
press pool can have three and then the international can
have three or whatever it is, they divvy it up
and then you you know, you can ask either of
them or both of them if you get called. So
one of the Japanese reporters is talking about what happened

(12:04):
in Iran and why didn't they let anyone know? Any
other allies knows, like, you know, we're on good terms
with Japan, haven't always been, but why why didn't you
let him know? And you can see the thought pop
into Trump's head in the middle of this. Listen to this. Oh,
for those who don't know that the new Prime Minister

(12:24):
of Japan's apparently pretty based, she's pretty He ran on
like basically their version of a Trump strategy, right, but
she does not. She doesn't twitch a mouth muscle during this.

Speaker 5 (12:40):
About the wool before taking ure. So we are very
confused about well, one.

Speaker 9 (12:46):
Thing, you don't want to signal too much, you know,
when we go in, we went in very hard, and
we didn't tell anybody about it because we wanted surprise.

Speaker 10 (12:55):
Who knows better about surprise than Japan? Why didn't you
tell me about Pearl Harbor?

Speaker 1 (13:02):
Okay, right, let's just left a sad me.

Speaker 3 (13:07):
Do you believe it?

Speaker 1 (13:07):
It's absurd.

Speaker 9 (13:09):
I think much more out than this, and we had
a surprise, and we did, and because of that surprise,
we knocked out the first two days.

Speaker 10 (13:17):
We probably knocked out fifty percent of what we and
much more than we anticipated doing. So if I go
and tell everybody about it, there's no longer a surprise.

Speaker 1 (13:28):
Oh oh, And then I saw one of the smug
twitch streamer, not not the main one who annoys people
with the doggy torture, but someone of the other ones
wrote wrote something like, well she shout us sad is,
why didn't you warn us about here? Shima and Nagasaki?

(13:48):
And then that dude got owned absolutely beating he probably
run back the blue sky, because I don't know, y'all
know this. We did all the things to warn We
drop pamphlets, leaflets, we pirated radio. We're like, hey, you guys,
stop your silliness or it's not you. It's gonna be

(14:08):
really bad for you here in a couple of days,
like you don't want any of this, And then we
did it again before we did the other one. But regardless,
now they're like, oh, well, there's gonna be some sort
of now it's a diplomatic crisis. I don't know. She
clearly didn't laugh. I don't know her general nature. Generally
Japanese people are pretty reserved. I don't know if you
know this kind of.

Speaker 4 (14:29):
I mean, she likes Trump. Did you see her getting
out of her car meeting? Yeah, yeah, yeah, she gave
a big hug.

Speaker 1 (14:35):
Yeah. This is why I'm not gonna make people like, oh,
we screwed the relationship with Japean. No, we didn't do.
We have the audio from the Chinese ambassador spokesman. Oh yeah,
right here. She was very sneaky kind of rock of
Pearl Harbor. Okaynal sneaky doo huh Pearl Harbor kind of sneaky.
I think we call it be Arita Sneaky sometime pc

(14:56):
O Day radio program. So uh, let me hit the
to you again because it's worth it. As Trump is
sitting in the Oval Office with the Japanese Prime Minister again,
you just see the light go on in his head
for this one. And I'm sorry this this is so
close to the inappropriate, but we inappropriate just in the

(15:19):
general normalized sense, but probably not inappropriate for Trump. This
is why I could never climb corporate ladders, because if
I got a joke that fits that perfect, I'm gonna
spit it out. And that's not helpful always, But I
don't They're gonna try to make this as some like
devastation of the Japanese relationship, and that's just not true,

(15:41):
she said. As Ross pointed out, they were like hugging
out the car. They'll probably try to make something to that.
Remember when they tried to make something about the Italian PM. Yeah,
so we'll see. But like she also in her own
words after was like, you're the only one in this

(16:02):
situation who bring peace, showing her support straight of horm
moos Japan be one of our few allies who seemed
to want who acknowledge this. There's a very interesting piece
somebody wrote yesterday and that the American policy should be
straight of horm moose for all or for none, and

(16:24):
that we should stop all the Iranian ships. So look,
if everybody can't use it, only Iran apparently to drop
off oil to five other countries, it would incentivize those
countries Russia, China, Turkey, India. There's one other to essentially
call up leader Iranian leadership on the horn and go,

(16:45):
you got to stop this crap. You got to keep
the straight open. That might be a viable solution. So
amidst all of this, he cracks this show.

Speaker 5 (16:57):
In Europe and care about the wool before taking u.
So we are very confused to follow.

Speaker 1 (17:04):
Why didn't you tell him one thing too much?

Speaker 9 (17:08):
You know when we go in, we went in very hard,
and we didn't tell anybody about it because we wanted surprise.

Speaker 10 (17:15):
Who knows better about surprise than Japan. Hey, why didn't
you tell me about Pearl Harbor?

Speaker 1 (17:22):
Dude? Anyway, So, and I even saw people who clearly
were not Trump supporters, who even were like, yeah, it's
kind of funny, but no, no professional stick in the mud.
Jake Tapper. Uh, he decided, you know what, I should
fact check that for no reason at all, and he wrote,

(17:44):
for what it's worth, Prime Minister Takachi was born twenty
years after Pearl Harbor. Yes, thank you for that. Thank you.
We understand that she wasn't at the helm of a
zero on that day. Do you think he was accusing
her personally? He's saying to you, and then Jake knows this,

(18:06):
and he wasn't the only one, but he's the one
who should know better, even though he you know, because
Jake had a reputation, it wasn't that bad compared to
a lot of mainstream media. But Trump just broke this. Man.
She probably planned it, You're right, Jake, she would have.
She'd have to be. Okay, so eighty four is just

(18:28):
how many years ago it happened. Plus she's have to be.
Let's I'll give her sixteen on top of it. She's
looking great for ninety. Eric Swell would Eric Swall well, right, okay, yeah,
because we care about that. Uh. He was triggered too
on this. It's like, come on people, he wrote twenty fifth.

(18:49):
Of course he did. But oh dude, Eric Kinsinger, the
other butt heard former Republican, the one that got on
the committee. Did you see he made a die documentary
about himself and it's called The Last Republican that came
out yesterday, So Ross, are you thinking of doing your
own uh biography?

Speaker 4 (19:10):
I mean, I have thought about it. My favorite reaction
yesterday was just the Anthony Mackie jeff of you know,
he's he's out of line, but he's right.

Speaker 1 (19:17):
He's yeah, yeah, yeah from yeah, dude, that's so great?
Could we? I mean, we haven't had a true Trump
banger in a while. I think that qualified. I think there.

Speaker 4 (19:27):
I think my favorite Trump moment is when he does
his impersonation of the trans weightlifter powerlifter.

Speaker 1 (19:35):
Oh yeah, it's like clank clink, uh like, and he
knows what's gonna set him off. Do you think Okay,
let me ask you this. Do you could you see
in that moment where his whole body changes and his
voice inflection changes because the idea has entered his brain
to say this thing he's gonna say. Do you think

(19:57):
it's more for the joke or do you think that
there's a signific figure enough percentage going on in his mind?
It's like they're gonna lose their minds, and then he
says it like, do you think he perceives that they're
gonna the TDS heads are gonna explode.

Speaker 4 (20:10):
I think the the idea came into his head. He
thought it was a joke. He gave the joke, it
didn't exactly land in the room. There were sort of
like audible gas from people, and then yeah, really, then
it became more serious in explaining his his mode of thinking.

Speaker 1 (20:25):
Yeah, that's fair, and also I think it's it's my
understanding that you're not really supposed to bring up Pearl Harbor.

Speaker 4 (20:33):
I mean, but it is a thing that happened though.

Speaker 1 (20:35):
I mean yeah, but I mean like culturally with Japan,
the same way that they get really weird in Germany,
you start getting into Holocaust, although not as much as
they used to. But that's also because it's kind of
ingrained where you can't talk about it societally, right, you can't.

Speaker 4 (20:49):
No, you can't can't be in movies, it can't be
in video games, can't be in anything.

Speaker 1 (20:53):
Yeah, yeah, so like now you can't.

Speaker 4 (20:55):
Fine, you play Wolfenstein over there and they take out
all the Nazi stuff.

Speaker 1 (20:58):
Didn't they do that to a version in the us too,
or they wanted to. Wasn't that during the big cancel phase,
they were like wanting them to. Man, I swear we
did a story like that. So that's how it is.
I mean that makes sense.

Speaker 4 (21:10):
No, that was we talked about that. That was Call
of Duty World War two where they took out all
the all the swastikas and stuff.

Speaker 1 (21:17):
Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, knew it was a
video game story. I just wasn't wasn't remember it wasn't
membering correctly. So point is a bunch of people who
have no sense of humor, had no sense of humor,
and then today we'll spend it convinced. Oh oh though,
that's the other thing. Dude. Do you see the Marco
Rubio response memes of him in the samurai suit? Yeah?

Speaker 4 (21:39):
No, I saw the one of himself on the couch
as the bachelorette. Oh, they had one, and then they're like,
he's asked to go as a samurai to apologize. If
that doesn't work, then they had another one of him
as godzillas.

Speaker 7 (21:53):
Dude.

Speaker 1 (21:54):
The internet, dude, the Internet was fun yesterday because the
Chuck Norris thing happened, and then all this Japan thing like.
It was one of the few times where I spent
probably way too much time on Twitter because I was
watching you know, I was watching the basketball. I'm sitting there,
I'm screwing around on my phone and it was just
gold Man. I don't know if you guys know this.
Chuck Doris had to go to the hospital. He's fine,

(22:16):
He's apparently fine. But you know all the Chuck Doris
legend jokes, right, Chuck Doris has been hospitalized. Chuck Dorris
has been hospitalized. No word yet on condition of hospital breaking.
Chuck Doris now providing medical care to all fifty eight
doctors and seventy nine nurses on site. Chuck Doris isn't

(22:40):
having a medical crisis. The hospital is having a Chuck
Doris emergency.

Speaker 4 (22:44):
I would imagine too, if you're a doctor and they
bring Chuck Norris in for some sort of procedure and
it's like an emergency, right, you have to be concerned
about what his skin and what are going to do
to your tiar needles? Right, yeah, we're either going to
break your needles are screwed. Yeah, dude, this was I
would say this.

Speaker 1 (23:04):
This was the Internet when it used to be fun, right, here.
Chuck Norris jokes were great, man, I could and I
could fill the entire show with ones that are all
pure gold by it. It was so you got a
little peak of that. Yesterday Chuck carried the ambulance on
his back to the hospital then charged them a fee

(23:27):
medical emergency. Has been hospitalized after coming into contact with
Chuck Norris. Is the hospital? Okay, dude, Yeah, that is great.
But yeah, he had something and then immediately they're like, ah,
that's fine, he's in good spirits. We don't know what
it was. He's what eighty six, eighty four, eighty six

(23:49):
or something just turned Oh. But also, this is too soon.
You took Hackman, you took Hogan. You need to leave
Chuck Norris alone. People's whole laundry list. So glad to
hear he's doing well, all right, phone number eight eight
eight nine three four seven eight seven four. We're gonna

(24:10):
talk about this with Pete Callender clearly coming up at
eight oh five. But Mark Robinson, who I think, and
I don't know, but I think it would almost have
to be true considering for a lot of it he
wasn't talking to any media outlets. I feel like probably
Mark Robinson did more interviews on this show than anything

(24:32):
any other North Carolina news source. Ross that's probably got
to be right, right. He didn't have a regular thing
with anybody else.

Speaker 4 (24:38):
We talked to him, what was it every Wednesday or
was it every Thursday?

Speaker 1 (24:41):
One of the two. It kind of bounced around, and
then clearly towards the end of campaign it just kind
of fell off when all the stuff was coming out.
But yeah, because I woke up this morning to a
couple knuckleheads in my email, like, ah, oh you did
this guy came on there and he didn't. You didn't
get and him on this stuff. And I'm like, we

(25:02):
asked about all of this. No, I feel like we're
the only ones who asked him about all of this
that he actually spoke with.

Speaker 4 (25:07):
We did, But the issue was later on in that
campaign when stuff started getting like crazy.

Speaker 1 (25:13):
Uh yeah, he's hurt fortist.

Speaker 4 (25:15):
Yeah, he sort of ghosted us and like.

Speaker 1 (25:17):
Yeah, everybody, Yeah, he had long he had long stop
interview with a lot of other people. So uh so
what he said in a new interview, We'll get into
that and your phone calls next, hang on so on
to this, so we uh, you know, if you if
you've been around here for a minute or at least
going back to the last gubernatorial election, uh, you know

(25:39):
that the latter half of the campaign was essentially all
about Mark Robinson. Uh, pornography and uh some real weird
comments about black Nazis and things like that, all of
which all of which we asked Mark about on this show,

(26:02):
and he gave his answers, well the answers he was
you know, was willing to give and so like. And
I think we were probably one of, if not the
only outlet to really still have Mark coming on and
talking to him. But according to an interview that was
that aired yesterday, some of the answers that he gave

(26:25):
us he's now said or not true. Let me play
this for you.

Speaker 2 (26:29):
You know, I won't say that I completely lied some
of the things about the whole story.

Speaker 3 (26:33):
Some of it there's some truth to it.

Speaker 11 (26:37):
In a ninety minute interview on After the Call, a
podcast from an organization called Real Truth Media, Robinson said
he has an obsession with pornography and sexy.

Speaker 2 (26:47):
And I don't know where that fascination came from my life,
but that's something that followed me as a young man.

Speaker 3 (26:54):
This obsession with pornography.

Speaker 2 (26:57):
But I certainly don't want to be the person that
called the President of the United States the election. I
didn't want to cost anyone else their election.

Speaker 3 (27:08):
And that's what we've got to get now. We've got
to get.

Speaker 2 (27:11):
Our young men to start seeing how damaging that type
of black style is.

Speaker 1 (27:15):
Okay, And it's a much longer interview, and there's he
doesn't go blow by blow, so to speak, because there
was a lot of things out there. But ross do
you think if he had just come out and like, yeah, man,
I struggle with this, or I used to struggle with
this now, I don't that there was a path where
this might have gone in another direction, or do you

(27:38):
think it was just there's just too much there.

Speaker 4 (27:40):
No, I think denying it was the mistake. And I
don't even think that was his decision. And I'm just like,
you know, yeah, for.

Speaker 1 (27:47):
Those who don't know, they brought in somebody who I
used to be with the congress woman Slotckin, I believe,
who's kind of supposed to be a fixture or a
star person in the latter days of the campaign there.
So you think that maybe that was the strategy?

Speaker 4 (28:00):
I Yeah, I think, yeah, I think if you were
to come out and be like, hey, you know I
would did this in the past. I'm changed. You know,
Christ has changed me and transformed me, and I wish
that you know the same to Yeah. I mean a
lot of people have gone through similar things where you know,
you're not exactly the same person as you were before,
right like we people change and they they improve. I

(28:22):
think the bigger issue though, was the black Nazi stuff
and the I think that was the bigger issue there.

Speaker 1 (28:28):
Yeah, I mean, you know some of that stuff too,
because I'm I'm told like there some of that stuff,
especially when you get into the more racial stuff. It's
it's like, I'm not defending. I'm just pointing out that
I was told that if you're a person of color,
you get a pass on this stuff. But that clearly
is ideologically locked down one side or the other. But
to your point, yeah, that's the stuff he's going to

(28:50):
have a harder time overcoming because people like a redemption story.

Speaker 4 (28:56):
Exactly, and look at the stuff the other side does,
like they're trying to make it out to look like
he's a degenerate, and then you look at the stuff
that they're championing championing, and it's just just be honest
about it. Like if you say, yeah, I like looking
at porn, I think ninety percent of the people, you know,
dudes will be like yeah, I can kind of relate
with that. You know, it's yeah, you know that's something.

(29:18):
It's for visual creatures.

Speaker 1 (29:20):
Man.

Speaker 4 (29:20):
And the thing is, like, I like Mark. Mark was
a great guy. I I this thing happens on this
show where we build relationships with people and candidates and
to some respect, they become friends, and then sometimes they
lose and they drop off the map, and that's depressing
it really.

Speaker 1 (29:36):
I liked Mark.

Speaker 4 (29:37):
I would text Mark back and forth, you know, we
would text each other wrestling gifts, Jess. Yeah, man, he
was a great dude.

Speaker 1 (29:44):
I like that.

Speaker 4 (29:44):
I still like him. I still think he's a great guy.
I just think he made a bad decision and I
don't I don't think it was necessarily his choice, you know.

Speaker 1 (29:52):
Yeah, I don't know. Again, I don't know.

Speaker 4 (29:54):
Because someone's weird in that campaign. He stopped being Mark
Robinson at some point later on in that campaign.

Speaker 1 (29:59):
You remember our last interview.

Speaker 4 (30:00):
Yeah, it was super weird. He wasn't like himself. You
could tell, like Tua. They had him under wrapp No,
it was like Josh Allen in the last season where
you're like, when are you gonna start slinging the ball
down the field?

Speaker 1 (30:09):
Man?

Speaker 4 (30:09):
You're not yourself anymore.

Speaker 1 (30:11):
Everything comes back to the bills. Yep, go bills, yep, yeap.
So well, anyway, again, it's a much longer interview. I
just want to play that little bit, but you got
some time you want to watch that.

Speaker 4 (30:22):
You know, it reminded me of it Bill Clinton when
he was like, you know, I did not inhale, right,
Like everybody watched that and they were like, bull crap,
Yeah you did. Just be honest about it. You know,
you were in the sixties, dude, of course you sneak weed.
You don't need to lie about that. And it's like
are you sucked at partying?

Speaker 1 (30:36):
Yeah, which is.

Speaker 4 (30:37):
Equally is damn right exactly, But it's like the accusation
against you coming from the side where they're like, you know,
they do things a thousand times worse, and they want
to cut the the genitals off children and mutilate this
platform and have like this perverse pornography in school libraries.
That's their platform and for the accusation to be hey,
you like looking at naked women, you know, and you're like.

Speaker 1 (31:01):
No, it's not true.

Speaker 4 (31:02):
That's not true. Of course, dude, come on. Yeah, everybody
heard that and they were like, dude, that's not true.
You're lying there, and that the double down and then
you're not being yourself anymore. That's what destroyed that campaign.
He should have just said, yeah, I did, I made
a mistake. I'm a changed man, you know, Christ's Lord.
That's all you had to say, and that would have
been the honest answer. Yeah, and then you fight out
the comments stuff, right, That was the weird part for me. Yeah, yeah,

(31:25):
because who comments on porn that's weird.

Speaker 1 (31:30):
Lots of people apparently like it's so weird. It's basically
the number of comments on the one where they had
his comment. I think that the total number of comments
where he commented was like three thousand something. In the
screen show.

Speaker 4 (31:41):
Yeah, the weird thing there is the comments and the
share buttons under pornography. That's weird, Like who's sharing that stuff?
Who looks at that and goes, I'm.

Speaker 1 (31:49):
Gonna show fish got a little more sleep last night
instead of watching your money dry up? Thank you? UNC
two and a half points, two and a half points.
I thought I was getting a deal. Got a little
bit tired there, I did.

Speaker 8 (32:06):
Hubert Davis here, Cubert, why did you go to just
a six man rotation in the second half?

Speaker 1 (32:12):
Because that was my decision. It'll be one of those presidents. Coach,
What did you generally?

Speaker 3 (32:19):
What do you think went wrong? What do you mean, Hubert?

Speaker 8 (32:26):
The free throws again, as you mentioned a little bit
of an issue tonight, Why do you think that was
such an issue for your team throughout the season.

Speaker 3 (32:35):
That's a great question. I mean, we work on them, and.

Speaker 1 (32:45):
I'm and here's the thing, I'm not. I'm not out
here just to pick on uh tar heels or any
any of the rest of that, because like it's gonna
be it's gonna be a rough day around the office,
uh if if that's your team, probably because that's just
the nature of how people talk basketball all around here.
But I actually enjoy coaches who are good at doing
what Davis is doing there, So I'm okay with that.

(33:06):
But there are so many storylines. Ross's Cinderella story, if
they'd have stopped at half, would have paid off. Sienna
was kicking the crap out of Duke abusing them, absolutely
abusing them, and then I think they went in the
locker room at half and they're like, hey, are we Duke,
and then oh, yeah, we're Duke. And then it didn't

(33:28):
help too that Sienna didn't. I think they went on
a six and a half minute scoreless run in the
second half, which is never helpful when you're trying to
beat Duke is a sixteen seed. So Duke escaped that,
but man, they gotta get They got to get these
guys back healthy. You gotta get your center back. So
we'll see how that goes. But I think the big
story in North Carolina has got to be High Point

(33:52):
University man back to back years and they still can't
get cold quality opponents. This is a problem, right They're
you know, they're going out because they made the tournament
last year and they want to play some tougher teams
and it's it's it's everything with the divisions is is
tough right now. And I was reading an article about
them and some other like smaller style schools that seem

(34:16):
to be performed and by the way, they were two
to zero against it, you know, proper, proper, big time opponents.
This year. So it all came down to for High
Point University and their big upset over Wisconsin. It came
it came to one player too, by the way, who
had not made a two point bucket all year, not

(34:37):
a single two pointer all year, to go ahead and
get it done. And well, I hope this kid doesn't
go in the transfer portal. Chase Johnston, who is a
three point specialist. That's why that status like it is.
He's an outside shooter. He's pretty good at it. Oly

(34:57):
attempted I think four shots inside. You have four shots
outs inside the arc this year. And it was his
layup with like eleven seconds left that gave High Point
the victory. Man, and like they were losing their mind
over at the university's radio team play call here, Cannerson
got in, got back. It's circles jumped to catch the

(35:20):
show up, all right, So that's set it up that

(35:41):
Wisconsin's gotta get it down. They pitch it down there,
this is the last chance. Picks it down nine seconds. Boy,
watch it inside time six seconds. Yeah, boy, they launched
that caught. So just crazy town, man, just crazy town.

(36:09):
I'm trying to think. Uh, it would be another good
example of just kind of watching that unfold yesterday. I
don't know if it's as big. I guess that's something
you all can debate. You can call it and debate
it if you want to. It reminded me. It reminded
me a little of app State Michigan on the football
side of things that will never not be legendary. Little

(36:30):
little little app State going up there to the big
going up to Michigan, right, one hundred thousand plus people,
and you take it to them on what they thought
was a warm up game. That's wild. You can there's
a comp there's all sorts of compilations on Twitter of
that that are well worth watching. If you don't know
what I'm talking about. Little app State going up there

(36:53):
and upsetting Michigan was a big deal. I don't know
if this is quite it, but it's up there, but
at all so shows that the complaining that you're seeing
from some of the ads from these schools like high
Points saying it's it's harder than ever to you know,
to really get more quality or more mix of equality
of opponents, right because you don't want to just go,
you know, play that warm up game against you know,

(37:16):
one of the preseason Top tens. You want to play
some others u NCW runs into this quite a few others.
So but you know, maybe maybe with this it helps
their case and we'll see where they go from here.
All right, So we have that, we got the Mark
Robinson thing. I'm curious what you guys think eight eight
eight nine three four seven eight seven four if Robinson

(37:38):
when it came, when the when all the porn stuff
came out, because you got to you got to deal
really with three lanes here, had he just been like,
I was young, I'm clearly a changed man, which, by
the way, was an element of his campaign on the
issue of abortion, right, except he was very upfront about that.
He talked about he talked about him and his wife

(38:01):
made when they were very very young, and that once
he once he found God and how it changed his
life and and how it caused him to think about
that and and the whole issue. And I thought that
that was a that was a very solid answer. So
if he'd got in there and just been like, yeah,
I was a different I was a different dude. I
was young. There's also for all of you poverty advocates,

(38:22):
you know, who are out there, like because you know,
he's he's working Lake night at a pizza place next
to a porn joint. All of you know, all of
these excuses that that are that are made in there,
they were never afforded Mark Robinson. But also he has
to avail himself of that stuff. But I think I
think there's a lot of people, uh who probably still
did or maybe they got they just they didn't vote

(38:46):
for his opponent, but they didn't vote at all. Who
that might that that might have been a saving grace
for him. Then the then you have the you know,
the stuff they were talking about with the affair stuff
that's haveloidy, and then of course you have you know,
some of the things that were written. But it goes
back to a discussion we've had on this show many times.
It's the regular it's regular dude syndrome.

Speaker 4 (39:09):
Right, Yeah, The issue is he was a regular guy
for the longest time, with no incregative virture, factory likes guns,
went to a city council meeting, right and just suddenly
you're in the spotlight and now you're in politics and
statewide politics and the air in the national stage and
the convention and suddenly all the attention is going on.

Speaker 1 (39:25):
You listen.

Speaker 4 (39:26):
You have people like the Clintons or the Bidens, where
all they've done their entire lives are politics, and everything
they do is they put safeguards in place so this
sort of stuff doesn't happen.

Speaker 1 (39:36):
Yeah, you have to think the proper financial paperwork. It's almost
groomed to if case there's ever any trouble. They understand
the ins and out to some extent, Josh Stein is
gonna understand that his father is a very high profile
civil rights attorney, runs in these circles, so you know
throughout the course of his life, I'm sure that there
was advice that was imparted upon him. It's it's two

(39:57):
different things. When you're just a guy coming off the
street ross, do you think you could run for Uh?

Speaker 4 (40:03):
No, you could run. There's no there's no way. There's
no way, because you get these political machines like the
Carvills or whatever they are. Yeah, and they look for dirt.
And you take anybody listening right now who has no
you don't want to do politics, and you've lived the
life and you're forty fifty years old, and think about
all the stuff you did in your twenties, right, and

(40:24):
especially now with this younger generation, good luck out because
everything is going to be on social media and everything's recorded,
so it'll be a lot easier to find that dirt.
But you take the average person who's lived a life
and has had experiences, like the average you know.

Speaker 1 (40:38):
Has had struggles.

Speaker 4 (40:39):
Yeah, and you're listen, I am not the same person
that I was in my twenties, right. You talk about
Mark Mark Robinson, you know in the past he had
this issue and you know which many men do they
enjoy pornography or.

Speaker 1 (40:52):
Looking stuff like that troubling growing issue among current generations. Yeah,
just due to the.

Speaker 4 (40:58):
Yes, exactly, And suddenly you have a person who's not
the same person they were because they've evolved and they've
become a better person than they've changed. And that's really
the sort of the best sort of person to help
people that are going through a similar situation. Like, listen,
I'm a recovering alcoholic, right, who do you think would
be better at helping oc current alcoholics? Somebody that like
myself or where I've had experience I know what that

(41:19):
person is going through, or somebody that's been sober their
entire life. Yeah, teetotaler, you know what I mean. And
now I will say this just because again I'll tell
you how things strike me. You know, doing this this bit,
he could have called us if he wanted to do
a come to Jesus interview.

Speaker 1 (41:41):
I guess we could have asked him too, but you know,
but if he knew he was ready to talk about this,
I feel like this is managed a little bit, but
I think it might be for a good reason, and
we'll see if I'm right. I think because look, Mark
is very commanding when he speaks clearly. That's how we
got here. And I think that if in his heart
he feels like this is something that struggled, this is

(42:03):
something that cost him, that he can take that gregarious
nature and you know, speaking ability and maybe help people
who are struggling with the same thing and maybe, you know,
get on with a an organization or some sort of
five oh one or something and go down that road
or help in that way. I'm cool with that. And

(42:25):
I think that maybe just maybe this was part of
trying to rebrand, to make that transition. But if it's
for the right reasons, I'm fine with it.

Speaker 4 (42:34):
And let's be honest. The people that were attacking him
and coming out with this stuff and found this stuff.
They weren't attacking Mark Robinson for the pornography, right, because,
like we said, they do a lot worse platform wise there.
What they were attacking was the apparent hypocrisy from Mark
Robinson on the issue, right.

Speaker 1 (42:54):
They were at the base. They were attacking him because
he's a Republican.

Speaker 4 (42:58):
Yes, but and he's a black because he's a Republican
and he's against all this crap in the schools, yeah,
and he's against all this devan, degenerate lifestyle stuff. Suddenly,
to find out that he looked at this stuff, you know,
ten fifteen, twenty years ago, you can say, haha, you're
a hypocrite. You are a self righteous right wing hypocrite.
Whereas if Mark Robinson were just to look at that

(43:20):
and be like, yeah, I did, I mean mistakes and
I've changed, it would have completely changed that race, or
at least it would have kept it more aligned with
the path that was going down.

Speaker 1 (43:29):
Yeah, yeah, I think that's probably pretty good analysis, all right,
eight eight eight nine three four seven eight seven four.
If you got to you got a thought on that,
come on it sduke. It's the second half team. I know,
I know, I know, I know I and again I

(43:50):
know this is gonna have I'm not attacking UNC to
attack you UNC. But they lost, and they were up
eighteen points, twenty points at one point. It is what
it is. I want one to play it because again
I'm a fan of coaches who have to go do
one of those pressures and they have no intention of
entertaining questions except at the legal minimum, right, And you

(44:13):
can't blame them. No, he's got he probably wants to
go back there and just scream in his team for
three hours. No, I don't blame him, right, And your UNC,
like part of the part of the pressure that detaches
to you in march madness is the fact that you're UNC,
and you've been there and you dominated, and of course

(44:34):
you know the duke rivalry and all the rest of
this stuff. So like it's all of it's totally understandable.
I I'm I think you all need to give you
my money back. You could afford it, didn't you did
you just spend a gazillion dollars to have somebody to
tell you to use your other logo? Right, give me
my money back. I want my money back with a

(44:56):
lot of money. But it's the principle of the thing
two and a half, and I thought it was free money.
What was I thinking? All right, uh, this he can't wait. No, no, no,
I'm not implying that Mark Robinson was running politics again.
I think he gets as a hanger on with some
advocacy organization. I think that's I think that's the path.

(45:19):
I don't think he's trying to groom for a political run. Well,
who knows, I don't know, cra Easier things have happened.
All right, let's do this. We're going to take a break.
We'll be back. We'll get your calls coming up next.
Hang on, all right, to the phones, Diana, you're up first,
Go right ahead.

Speaker 6 (45:36):
Well, I will actually think that candidates today, going back
to the Mark Robinson conversation, have a better chance of
winning elections by putting all their cards on the table.
And I was relating this to the battles at Eminem.
The rapper used to win back in the days by
just naming and all the fault his faults and all

(45:58):
his his you know, uh secrets and everything right off
the back, and then having his opponent not, you know,
have anything to come back at him with I think
that today people are looking for more genuine candidates that
are like, yeah, these are my mistakes. This is what
I've done, like right off the back, and now I'm
a new person and now this is what I'm doing.

(46:19):
I can relate to you, and that way nothing comes
out in the end, you know, after a long period
of campaigning, no one can say, oh, but he did this,
but they did that.

Speaker 7 (46:29):
You know.

Speaker 6 (46:29):
It's just like you throw everything on the table. These
are my flaws, and I'm still running because I can
relate to you. People will have.

Speaker 1 (46:39):
And he did it like like you said, and thanks
for the call. He did it on the abortion issue,
and I thought I thought that was the right way
to handle it. Jenny, real quick, what's up?

Speaker 12 (46:48):
Yes, o, Casey. I agree with loss because he was
out there. He had billboards about all the stuff in
school around with schools, the you know, the garbage receiving kids.
And I was at the fairgrounds and then went to
the Arboretum with a big red shirt Mark Robinson. There's
young man that like lit up and gave me his
thumbs up, and then this older man who's like he's
a hater, And I said, a man is a man

(47:10):
and a woman is a woman. And I walked away
because I'm like a sixty one year old white lady.
And I loved Mark Robinson. I felt so he, you know,
a stand an abortion. He repented and he was strong
enough to do that. And I wish he had done
it about the the other stuff. But yeah, I really
wish he would go back and try again.

Speaker 1 (47:31):
Video of a woman and I guess maybe it's her husband.
I guess. I don't really know. Maybe it's in the
audio rescuing a shark kind of what viral yesterday. This
happened down in Florida, Pensacle, I think, and I just
want to put the sharks on notice, right, I'll I've

(47:53):
helped see life, I've helped like I helped the turtle
one time. Turnover. I'm a hero. Ross. You ever helped
something animal wise, like maybe a bird, a beach, whale,
beach whale.

Speaker 4 (48:07):
I saved a beach. Well, it was a whale on
the beach. And I went up there and I put
my my hand down. It's what it's blowhole. And I
reached down there and got a golf ball. There was
a golf ball in the blowhole.

Speaker 1 (48:22):
Okay, well you're a hero. Okay. Was it a good
golf ball? Yeah?

Speaker 4 (48:26):
No, it's a titleist.

Speaker 1 (48:28):
Oh okay, I'll take that off your hands.

Speaker 7 (48:30):
Pro v.

Speaker 1 (48:30):
I'll take that. I'm always losing them because I'm bad
at golf. So AnyWho, it's a great white shark, and
it's not a little white shark. It's it's the great.
The great is definitely emphasized here. It's a big bastard.
And basically it was you know, it'd come in and
it was right there with the wave break and all
of a sudden, like it's in two inches of water,

(48:53):
struggling around, and that's when this woman decides we got
to do something now on my notification for sharks is
you're all on your own, right. I'll take a case
by case. If you're a great white shark, you're a
bull shark, you're a mako, you're a lemon. I'm sorry, bro,
you put yourself in that situation. I don't trust you,

(49:16):
and I'm sure as he'll not gonna go out there
and like hug you and lean on you. This is
where the suicidal empathy comes in and clearly, Ross, how
many times do you think this woman's watched Shark.

Speaker 4 (49:25):
Nato zero, right, yeah, or Jaws.

Speaker 1 (49:30):
Well, but the Sharknado in the sense that they're like, oh, well,
if they're not in deep water, they can't hurt me,
because that is clearly not what that movie teaches you,
all eight thousand of them or whatever. Okay, so here
we go. Oh we're gonna on this odyssey.

Speaker 2 (49:46):
I want to help you so bad, babe.

Speaker 1 (49:48):
He's stuck again.

Speaker 13 (49:49):
I do believe that it happened for a reason, Like
I was meant to be burying.

Speaker 1 (49:53):
It happened because shark got too shallow a water. Is
that a reason? I guess you're right that moment.

Speaker 14 (49:58):
What started as a si walk on the beach quickly
turned into a fight to save a life.

Speaker 13 (50:04):
Suddenly this wave came and literally pulled him like sideways,
and he got stuck right in front of me.

Speaker 14 (50:10):
A great white shark stranded threshing in the surf about
the pocket, wasting no time.

Speaker 13 (50:16):
It was very difficult mentally and physically.

Speaker 14 (50:19):
For hours, she worked to guide the massive animal through
the sand and surf, doing everything she could to get
it all right.

Speaker 1 (50:26):
So I gotta just I gotta visualize this for you.
So the things you know, think of like the short
part of the waves coming in one to three inches whatever.
The shark's in there, but it's massive, so it's not
going anywhere. And yes, she is working on it, but
that is clearly her husband or boyfriend who she's on
the shallow side of the shark. Ross. Did you pick

(50:46):
up on this. She's on the sallow shot, the shallow side.
He's in the deep side. That's a problem. That's like, honey,
you got to sleep by the door for when the
intruder comes, he could shoot you first. Yeah, so all
the focus is on this woman and her bravery, and
she's just like because she's not a big woman. And

(51:08):
again I'm not hating on her, but like she's just
she's got her feet planet in almost dry sand and
she's like used she butt her hands, both hands on
the middle of the shark, which thankfully to not just
turn around and remove her hands, and she's trying to
shove it back in the water. Dudes that he's like
digging sand out from nder. He's trying to pull the shark.

(51:29):
At one point, if that shark gets into just a
few more inches of water, it's right where the guy
is and nobody's saying anything about this. Nobody's saying anything.
All right, let's continue because it's gonna get even weirder.

Speaker 13 (51:43):
I was talking to the shark, telling him that he
was gonna make it, and then we loved him the
whole time.

Speaker 1 (51:51):
I'm just telling the shark how much we love him.
Uh he he don't love you. Sorry. I know I'm
right into the soul of the shark and making assumptions here,
but it.

Speaker 4 (52:03):
Sounds like you're profiling the shark man.

Speaker 1 (52:05):
Yeah, yeah, am I profiling the shark? Yes, that it
might do shark things. Yes. Also, do you know a
fun fact about great white sharks? You want no fun fact?
You know? One of the ways that they literally capture
prey is by feigning distress. Oh yeah, so it's like,
oh my fin hurts. Yeah, it won't bite you in.

(52:28):
Oh you brush my teeth. I got the beef jerky.
My teeth helped me out. So something like that. Oh,
we love you. All right, continue now.

Speaker 14 (52:44):
The sharks stayed calm, almost working with them until.

Speaker 1 (52:48):
Finally was it was it?

Speaker 2 (52:50):
Really?

Speaker 1 (52:50):
Were they coordinating? Do they have schematics like going over it?

Speaker 10 (52:54):
Like?

Speaker 1 (52:54):
All right? So that was the one with no arms.
So just that that's you, shark, and then this is
me and is my boyfriend. You're gonna be to eat
here in about three seconds, all right, so let's do this.

Speaker 13 (53:03):
The first wave came in, and then the second wave
came and the shark took the way.

Speaker 1 (53:07):
That's what they do. They keep coming in.

Speaker 13 (53:11):
And I'm like, oh my goodness, it was so beautiful,
and I just started hugging everyone and crying.

Speaker 14 (53:16):
A powerful reminder in moments.

Speaker 13 (53:18):
Like this, so many things happen. It's for a reason.
And if you have the option to help, I believe
you should help. We have to protect them because they
are who keep the ocean balanced.

Speaker 1 (53:30):
Oh no, hey, Ross, I was just the building. Just
send an email. Apparently there's a grizzly bear stuck in
the fence downstairs. You want to go.

Speaker 4 (53:38):
Should I go help it?

Speaker 1 (53:39):
Yeah? You should go help it get stuck out of
the fence. Man.

Speaker 4 (53:41):
This story, I mean, it's a it's a positive story.
That's a spin, but it could have gone sideways really
really quickly and become a different sort of story.

Speaker 1 (53:52):
Yeah, two people violently murdered by eighteen foot great white shirt.

Speaker 4 (53:56):
You know, if we had the technology to read the
shark's mind. Well, they're saving the shark. The shark would
have just probably been like, gonna, but your legs gonna,
but your legs gonna buy your legs, but your legs
gonna you know, the whole time.

Speaker 1 (54:08):
Yeah, it's a very instinctional response with them. They're like,
oh meat good, that's great.

Speaker 7 (54:17):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (54:18):
And my my great uncle, Yeah, it made movies about him. Yeah,
he ate this Chrissy chick and the rest is history.
So oh man, yeah, I'm watching that. I'm like, if
you okay, dude, if a loggerhead sea turtle, right, let's say, Ross,
you go down to the beach mansion, right and you're
on the beach and there's a oh it's a sea turtle.
It's flipped over on a shell. You're gonna go turn

(54:40):
that over? Right?

Speaker 4 (54:41):
Yeah, no, I would help the sea turtle.

Speaker 1 (54:42):
Yeah, so yeah, you kind of you gotta pick your
battles here, man, I'll flip the turtle over. That's fine.
I took up. I did put a ray back in
one time. He like come flying out of the water.
So it's fishing down by Hatteras, come flying out of
the waters basically up there, and uh, you know, pop
that that guy in there, there's a little skip, but yeah,

(55:04):
as soon as a bunch of teeth are involved, I'm like, look,
you made some decisions here. I don't know, maybe maybe
maybe this, maybe this. You're like, I can't take it anymore.
I never wanted to be a shark. Who am I
to stand in your way? But I'm sure as hell
not in the water with you. And also the part again,
the part that made me laugh the hardest, is that

(55:24):
the focus is all on her and in reality she
not really doing anything because she's just not big enough.
Like she's full pressing on that shark. It ain't moving
an inch. It's her poor boyfriend or husband who's on
the other side in the deep water from the shark,
and he gets no mention in the story, right.

Speaker 4 (55:41):
She's like, hey, go over there and help that shark
get in the water. And it's a guy, Like what
do you do? At that point You're like, okay.

Speaker 1 (55:48):
You think he's ever gonna be Like when she comes,
she's like, baby, do you want to go for a
walk on the beach. He's like no.

Speaker 4 (55:54):
I mean he couldn't say no because she would never
let him live that down. She'd probably break up with him.

Speaker 1 (55:59):
Yeah you didn't.

Speaker 4 (56:00):
You didn't go free the Great White Shark for me.
You don't really love me.

Speaker 1 (56:05):
It was a test, right, it was a kicktok test
or some horrible thing. Man, all right, it's being a
horrible things that would be most people's brackets this morning,
Ray Stagic is, uh, maybe he picked high Point. I
don't know. I don't know. I know UNC cost me
some money. I'm gonna I'm gonna go to Chapel Hill
and they're gonna pay me back. Well I had that one. Yeah,

(56:26):
you're gonna oh me did not did not have high Point? No, No,
you had ninety seven point six for whatever some crazy
number it is.

Speaker 15 (56:37):
I think there's how many other family eight ten of
us in our family bracket, and I think two or
three people did pick high Point, you know, and the
one we had that just pick them just for the
sake of either you know, they didn't.

Speaker 1 (56:50):
Like you gotta pick it upset anyway. Yeah, you gotta
pick it up set anyway.

Speaker 15 (56:54):
But uh, yeah I did, Okay, I did have what
I say, who vcu so I had that. I didn't
have Siena. But I was actually rooting for them, dude.

Speaker 1 (57:09):
They were drilling them in the first half, they were
murdering them. And then they're like, hey, how about in
the second half, we go seven minutes without scoring anything,
which is not about strategy.

Speaker 15 (57:19):
How about this, I don't sub anybody. Those guys got
to be tired. Sure, I mean, I don't think they
put one sub in the whole game.

Speaker 1 (57:29):
Yeah, I think you're correct. I think there were set
a record or something to it.

Speaker 3 (57:33):
Right, that doesn't work.

Speaker 12 (57:35):
And I was.

Speaker 4 (57:35):
Reading this morning. Their starters played all but two minutes
in that game.

Speaker 1 (57:38):
It wasn't okay. Yeah, it wasn't a lot.

Speaker 15 (57:41):
And then they just Yeah. I was hoping Kannesas State
would come through. That was one of my upset picks too,
but they didn't. Who they played, good Zaga, Gonzaga they played. Yeah,
they lost by nine, So I guess the game are run.

Speaker 1 (57:58):
So okay, but we'll see crazy. Hey, that's why they
call it madness, right, I.

Speaker 15 (58:02):
Don't know there was so it was all right, so
weather madness. Yeah, that's so not so okay, it's going
to be great. Actually, it's if you're watching basketball pick
pick like a place that has an outdoor bar or something.
Because the weekend is going to beautiful. Today is going
to be great, low mid seventies, a little more cloud
coming in later. It's already a little bit milder again

(58:23):
this morning Tomorrow close to eighties, Sunday close to eighty,
maybe even the middle eighties for the triangle. So it's
going to be very warm. Partly sunny tomorrow, mostly sunny
on Sunday, and then on Monday sunshine low to mid eighties,
so some great weather for the weekend. Overnight lows in
the fifties, and you know, just Sunday especially, just pick
that bar where you're not you don't have the sun
like beaming right in at your eyes. You know, you

(58:44):
pick the right seats, so get there early.

Speaker 1 (58:46):
I hate when I do. You have some great patios,
and yes.

Speaker 15 (58:48):
Great patios where you know, you know where the sun is.
And then and then then they get mad at you
sometimes and you're like you pull.

Speaker 1 (58:55):
The shade down. They're like, wow, we like to have
that natural.

Speaker 15 (58:56):
Well, I said, I don't want it in my eyes
while I'm trying to watch the game.

Speaker 1 (59:00):
Yeah, I'd be a non starter. I don't hang out
in places like that.

Speaker 15 (59:03):
Nope, That's why I just keep it in one a
in the basement.

Speaker 1 (59:05):
I'm good. You know that. You know the one bet
I did when yesterday it was McNeese against Vandy, it
was good twelve and a half. So yeah, so I'm
smart except everything else there. Yeah, okay, well we'll cut
it up again in the next hour. Appreciate it earlier.
You go to race Agic from the Weather Channel. All right,
seven forty seven, we'll get we got We'll get a

(59:27):
phone call here in the next segment. And you know
that like the reality show, especially the dating ones. I
don't know that we ever talked about them on this show,
but we kind of have to talk about this one.
This uh, this the one you will never see. I'll
explain coming up next. Hang on. The best advice on
managing shark expectations when you're near an ocean ever, and

(59:50):
I found the audio on our system too. It's perfect.

Speaker 16 (59:53):
I want you all to be mindful when you're vacationing.

Speaker 1 (59:58):
You know you're going to the beach. Do they go
to the beach, don't go.

Speaker 15 (01:00:01):
To the ocean.

Speaker 1 (01:00:02):
Okay, the ocean is the shark's house. That is a
fair point, man, That is an absolutely fair point. Tell
me more, youse some common sense. If you go into
the beach.

Speaker 16 (01:00:12):
Go to the beach, you watch the ocean from a distance. Yeah, okay,
and stay out the woods too, don't go don't go
fooding around with the bears either.

Speaker 1 (01:00:20):
The bears will eat you up.

Speaker 16 (01:00:21):
That's what they're supposed to do because you in they house.

Speaker 1 (01:00:24):
Yeah, I got training. It's okay, all right, anything more.

Speaker 16 (01:00:27):
When chickens come in my house, yes, we'll they get eight.
When peoples come in my house, they own the plate.
So when you go into shark's house, you gonna get
ate up.

Speaker 1 (01:00:38):
Okay. No lives detected, No lives detected. All right, close
it out for me.

Speaker 16 (01:00:43):
And I can't swim.

Speaker 1 (01:00:44):
I can swim.

Speaker 16 (01:00:45):
My whole body is a floatation device. My whole body
is a flotation device.

Speaker 1 (01:00:49):
I'll get But I can't swim.

Speaker 16 (01:00:52):
Another thing that makes me suspect and makes me, you know,
as my Negro membership card in question, because most black
people can't swim, but I can't.

Speaker 1 (01:01:01):
Like yeah, because remember we remember we suggested that if
they wanted no shark attacks in North Carolina, to put
up shark free zone signs. And we were ignored by
Roy Cooper's government when we made this suggestion. We could
have solved the whole thing. So this is this is
where we are. Now, this is where we be, Jamal,
what's up? Do you know what?

Speaker 17 (01:01:22):
KC? Am I wrong for wishing hearing her talk about
the shark wishing that but seeing from deep blue sea
when he walked and tried to light up a cigarette
and the shark turn and beat him. Am I wrong
for wishing that on her?

Speaker 1 (01:01:37):
I don't. Well, here's the thing again, she's she sounds
like a lunatic, and she probably picked the bear in
the man versus bear argument, but like, I don't know
any animosity. My only beef again was one I think
it's incredibly dumb, but clearly it worked out. My beef
is the guy is doing the heavy lifting and is
in the most danger and they don't even focus on him.

(01:02:00):
That's Mike.

Speaker 17 (01:02:00):
But you know what, Casey, you know who she reminds
you of. And if anybody been listening to the show,
know you used to play this and loved it. Stupid?
Why are you my kodiac mis stupid?

Speaker 1 (01:02:15):
It's as legend. Yeah, yeah, a little bit, a little bit. Oh,
I love you, she says. I think she tells the
bear she loves the bear. Too in that series of audios, Yes.

Speaker 7 (01:02:25):
Why are you too?

Speaker 17 (01:02:26):
It's to Mike. You know what, Casey, I hate to
say that it sounds like one of these liberal women
for sitting up there trying to run the Tuba and
say the protest Donald Trump and support the Cuba regime,
while the Cuban people out here saying pre tubable, they
trying to protest for their Ronnier regime. While they're Rodney
here people say we love but we want to get

(01:02:47):
rid of over the moves and stuff.

Speaker 1 (01:02:50):
I mean, like there's no fear mechanism in modern liberal
white women. I would agree with you, as evidence by
several several things, but I'm not gonna go so far
as it's and thanks for the call of Jamal that
I want her to get eaten. I don't. I don't
want him to get eaten either, but I just you know,
but it had it turned into a cautionary tale, I

(01:03:10):
would have understand how it happened, I guess is how
I would state it. So again, we're not big reality
show people here, but I quickly got up to speed
on this. So in just two days they were set
to launch the new season of the Bachelorette, and it's
this chick, Taylor Frankie Paul, who has three kids. She's

(01:03:31):
single mom now got you know, split up with her
previous partner. There, but a video emerged of her going
absolutely ballistic, ballistic throwing stools not just at her husband
or boyfriend, whoever that is, but like their daughters right there,
unless their daughters that waffle house waitress who can catch
stools in a melee, that's a problem. And now ABC

(01:03:52):
has canceled the whole season. They shot the whole thing.
They're not gonna hear. Look, she's growing like this, stools
at him.

Speaker 15 (01:04:11):
This is all you do.

Speaker 1 (01:04:13):
It's the only thing you know how to do.

Speaker 3 (01:04:18):
I don't let me go.

Speaker 1 (01:04:20):
It's wild. Now. She released a statement and said that
she was the victim of abuse too. I don't know
if that's true. Maybe it is, but she said, and
it's it's missing context. Her Pete Callander, our radio buddy
down there in Charlotte, well would agree. How are you
doing this morning, Pete?

Speaker 7 (01:04:36):
I'm doing okay, just you know, battling the uh, the
allergies for the last four days.

Speaker 1 (01:04:41):
Oh you're apallen enthusiast.

Speaker 7 (01:04:43):
Huh you're not really an enthusiast, but a receptor apparently.

Speaker 1 (01:04:49):
Okay, well, I'm sorry to hear that you could hand
do that.

Speaker 7 (01:04:56):
Yeah, yeah, I could have to.

Speaker 1 (01:04:58):
Work, so you know you gotta do that as well.
And are you ready for today? So that we're going
to pretend at the national media outlets that, uh, the
US has destroyed its relationship with Japan because Donald Trump.
Because I'm buckling in for that. I'm starting to see
that bubbling up for those of you, I guess you
just crawled out from under a rock when we play

(01:05:19):
a little piece of audio because I want to get
Pete's take on this. So the president is hosting the
new what I'm told and maybe it's your You're told?
She's quote based uh Japanese Prime minister. She was hugging
them and stuff. Anyway, So they're standing there in the
Oval Office and it's that it's the spray part, right,
and they so the international media gets half questions, the

(01:05:42):
US gets half the questions. Here we go. Here is
a Japanese reporter asking Trump, why didn't you give us
a heads up for you did the Iran thing? Or
give your alloys?

Speaker 5 (01:05:50):
Why in Europe and like to care about the wolf
before if the king us so we are very confused
the following, well.

Speaker 1 (01:06:03):
Okay, now before he answers, there is a visually, there's
gonna be a moment where Trump like shifts from first
to fifth gear because you see the thought cross his
brain to say what he's about to say. And I'm curious, Pete,
if you think he says it more because he thinks
it's hilarious, which I laughed, or he realizes it's gonna
make heads explode among the uh, you know, the media

(01:06:26):
crew there here is here's his response, or at least parting.

Speaker 9 (01:06:29):
You don't want to signal too much, you know, when
we go in, we went in very hard, and we
didn't tell anybody about it because we wanted surprise.

Speaker 10 (01:06:39):
Who knows better about surprise than Japan? Hey, why didn't
you tell me about Pearl Harmer?

Speaker 1 (01:06:45):
Okay, all right, right, I gotta play the whole thing.
He then goes on to you know, really make his
point there, and dude, I it was like classic twenty sixteen,
that Yellow Room press conference he did for an hour
and a half where he upgraded Acosta's fake news status
just had roll and watching it. Have we destroyed our
relationship with Japan. And by the way, Jake Tapper fact

(01:07:06):
checked that, and you should know that she had not
she was not born until twenty years after Pearl Harbor.
So whatever the hell that means. All right, so help me.

Speaker 7 (01:07:14):
For the reporter. Yeah, the reporter wasn't born. I don't
even think Donald Trump was born. Like so they're like
nitpicking on the you know, why didn't you And they're
making it like the personal you why didn't you tell us?
Which is absurd. It's a joke. It's a joke.

Speaker 1 (01:07:32):
It's a good joke.

Speaker 7 (01:07:33):
Like it is a good joke, and all good jokes
have an element of truth in it. And the element
of truth is that Japan launched a surprise attack on America.
And if you're going to ask about why do nations
launch surprise attacks on other nations, it's because you want
the element of surprise. You guys used to understand that

(01:07:53):
you guys did it to us, Literally, you did it
to us.

Speaker 1 (01:07:57):
That's the joke, but also the truth what was it
was what was almost equally as satisfying as one of
those young you know, like there's three or four of
those young Democrat men that are supposed to be like,
you know, the masculinity of the Democrat Party, Harry and
the rest of it. One of those idiots response to
it and then he got absolutely pilloried, was well, what

(01:08:18):
she showed it said is why didn't you tell us
about Hiroshima and Nagasaki? And that is somebody, my friends,
who knows nothing about history. We spentdaflets, we dropped leaflets,
we pirated radio into parts of Japan for like a while,
going hey, I don't know if you know this. We
got something horrible in store y'all, should you know, come

(01:08:41):
to heal here, And then we did it again between
the two and so he got just destroyed, and that
made me equally as happy.

Speaker 7 (01:08:48):
Yeah, well, I mean two things. Number one, it shows
the It shows the decay of our K twelve education
system right where people can come through twelve years of
education and not know some of the basic facts of
these historically significant events. Number one and number two, No,

(01:09:11):
I mean, I think I'm totally fine with the joke.
Particularly I think Japan said they would actually help secure
the strait of her moves.

Speaker 1 (01:09:18):
So this way she said, you're the only one. Yeah right, So.

Speaker 7 (01:09:26):
Yeah, like that's the thing. I mean that and for
people this is what is so frustrating about the coverage
of Donald Trump, and not just the media coverage, but
like the social media reactions to Trump and all of this,
Like he has been this way for a very long time. Yes,
And I don't understand why people are constantly finding offense

(01:09:49):
because they are like seeking it out, trying to find offense.
And then, oh, my gosh, I can't believe he said
such a thing, Like if you don't understand this guy's
sense of huge by now, then you're just being willfully
blind to it.

Speaker 1 (01:10:05):
Well, but it's because you attach animosity to anything he does,
which you know is your You're unable at that point
to see it as humor because you're just like everything
is being said for an evil reason. What that evil reason?
And look, her face didn't move. But this this game
we're going to play today, that all of a sudden,
Japan's gonna be like we're gonna go back to war
or you know, whatever the hell do you think is

(01:10:26):
gonna happen. Shut up, there's no damage done her.

Speaker 7 (01:10:32):
No, Oh it's not like uh, I mean I saw
what that the that the Danes were so very worried
about the Greenland thing that they sent some troops there actually.

Speaker 1 (01:10:41):
To blow up.

Speaker 7 (01:10:45):
Yeah, so I mean this is not another Greenland uh
uh no diplomatic brew Haha. This was a joke to
a Japanese reporter who was obviously historically illiterate and did
not understand the element of surprise in attacks.

Speaker 1 (01:11:04):
Right, kind of how I have worked therefore, Yeah.

Speaker 7 (01:11:09):
Exactly, all right, it's going by the way, it's it's
going very well, you know, like the surprising back and
the operations have been going very well, where we're not
even three weeks in, we're approaching the three week mark,
and just militarily, this is unlike anything the world literally
has ever seen as far as a as far as

(01:11:29):
precision strikes, decapitation strikes. And I know people want to
you know, kind of race ahead to like what's the
exit strategy and what you know what all you're all
the bad things that can go wrong and all of that.
But like the idea that like Israel has never participated
in a war like this with an Ally, right, this

(01:11:52):
is a new thing for them. We have never allowed
an Ally to run almost a majority, if not an
equal amount, of the of the sorties that they have
been running I mean, it's the and the intel has
been unbelievable. We're getting help now from I mean, the
Israelis have set up a tip line on their website

(01:12:13):
for people in Iran to give them information on where
the leaders are, you know.

Speaker 1 (01:12:19):
And I had to do big public executions yesterday of
like some teenagers, including a high profile wrestler, which we
were urging you not to do. This is the stuff
that spurs calls to the exact thing you just talked about.

Speaker 7 (01:12:32):
Right exactly, and it is the sign of a dying dictatorship.
This is generally what dictatorships do is, you know, they
got people in their prisons, they start murdering them. And
you've got you know, defections occurring of diplomats and such overseas.
You've got people that are walking away from their posts.
They're ignoring the orders and the mosaic strategy, where all

(01:12:54):
of these commanders in the field now have the autonomy
to launch whatever rockets they want on whatever targets they want.
That is a sign of a command structure that is
completely collapsed. They're they're you know, sending down orders. You
guys are on your own. Well, now you've got people
that you know, don't want to launch the missiles. Don't
want to launch the rockets because if they do, then

(01:13:16):
they're dead. Because once you pull that thing out of
hiding and you power it up, then even if you
get the shot off, you're going to get taken.

Speaker 1 (01:13:23):
Out fifty for you have a fifty to fifty chance.
Was the math. We we incapacitated half of the rocket
launched facilities when they launched it because we intercepted it
so fast it also killed the facility. You're absolutely right, man,
it's you know what it is. It's the it's the thousand.
Iraqis surrendering to the CNN videographer like you not yet.

Speaker 7 (01:13:45):
But like not yet, right maybe but like maybe yeah,
And I understand. I guess there is a lot of
stuff that goes wrong in war, right, totally understandable. There's
a lot of unknowns, right, and not get all rum
Speldy in here, but uh, there are a lot of
things that we don't know or how they're going to
play out. We don't know. However, that is a separate

(01:14:05):
thing than what the military has been able to accomplish
in in defanging this global sponsor of terrorism and the
thing that they thought would would unite everybody against America
has actually unified everybody against Iran by you know, flinging
rockets at all of their neighbors. Right, they're like now

(01:14:26):
they're all And if Europe is now saying, okay, fine,
we'll try to help out, you know, with the straight
of horror moves, that's a signal that that we have
we have made progress, and that we are we are
close to achieving the objective right, because Europe would not
get on board until like the until they know it's safe.

Speaker 1 (01:14:45):
Basically, well, did you see the think piece that was
going around horror moves for all or for none? Did
you did you catch that yesterday? So some some policy
analysts up from DC wrote a piece and basically his
argument was that the US is stre strategy with what's going
on with Oremus right now should be nobody runs through it,

(01:15:05):
all right, if everybody can't go through it, nobody runs,
And that they should do a two hundre mile grid
so that Iran cannot feed oil to the five countries
and still buy it China, Turkey, India, Pakistan and one
another and uh and and that would require those countries
to get on the horn with whoever's left in Iran
in leadership and go, look, you're not gonna you're not

(01:15:27):
gonna choke this point. I don't know if that's a
bad suggestion.

Speaker 7 (01:15:33):
No, I mean it seems pretty logical. And here's the thing.
Iran's because like the the Israelis hit their one of
their oil facilities for internal use, which is now going
to starve the Irgc of energy and money, and and
really at this point the money is worthless, right, so
they can't so there it's now bartering and it's using oil,

(01:15:55):
and every bit of oil that that Iran exports out,
all of that that they get that they release out,
it actually weakens them because they can't draw more, you know,
so at some point they run out. And so if
you want to keep sending it out, go ahead and
keep sending it out. But we're going to keep hitting
all of these facilities, and these the military facilities, and yeah,

(01:16:18):
we'll secure the straight of Hoar Moves at some point.
That's the objective, that's always been the objective. And that's
the other thing that really hacks me up on all
this is the people who are out there saying we
don't know what the objectives are, and it's like, I
don't understand how more clear the objectives need to be
laid out for everybody if I understand what they are.
And I'm just a radio host in Charlotte, Like, why
don't you understanding?

Speaker 1 (01:16:39):
The President laid them out, Rubio laid them out. It's
the tweet pretending not to understand things, thus making discourse
and possible. I got it, put it real quick? Uh
it a heres, mister p You and I were lied to,
perhaps by former goognatorial candidate Mark Robinson with his big interview.

(01:17:00):
Let me just play something.

Speaker 5 (01:17:00):
You know.

Speaker 2 (01:17:01):
I won't say that I completely lied some of the
things about the whole story.

Speaker 3 (01:17:05):
Some of it, they're some truth to it.

Speaker 11 (01:17:09):
In a ninety minute interview on After the Calls, a
podcast from an organization called Real Truth Media, Robinson said
he has an obsession with pornography and sexy.

Speaker 2 (01:17:19):
I don't know where that fascination came from my life,
but that's something that followed me as a young man.

Speaker 1 (01:17:25):
All Right, I'm not going to play the whole thing.
People go watch this fifty minute interview. Couple things let
me just say, and then I'm curious your response. One
really this was a three pronged approach, right, because you
had the pornography, you had the comments right with the
black Nazi stuff, and then you had the affair stuff
that they threw in there. So between CNN, perhaps some
gop operatives going back to the primary, and of course

(01:17:48):
a whole host of very political people. This is what
they'd done him in with Our take was he I
thought he successfully navigated the abortion thing, pointing out he
was young, this is oh yeah, and now and then
he found God and now he thinks differently, And I
think that that worked really well. Do you think he
could have done that with the pornography thing, and whether

(01:18:10):
the storm or because of the other stuff it would
have been too problematic? And then the second question, and
I'll let you fill the rest of the three minutes
we have, is what is his endgame here? Is he
trying because it's a weird interviewer to choose, right, nobody
really knows. It's an organization? Is he trying to rebrand
himself for political office or for maybe a goal or

(01:18:33):
role with an organization that pushes back on porn addiction,
which is a big issue as he can speak to
it from a first person standpoint.

Speaker 7 (01:18:43):
That's interesting. I hadn't considered that last part, but yes,
I thought this is like part of a rehabilitation effort
for some reason. Now I don't know, is he going
to try to make a run for politics. Is he
going to try to become a pastor or your suggestion,
which seems like a pretty legitimate one to do as well. Yeah,
So I think it's definitely part of a rehab And

(01:19:04):
I think in the News and Observer story they mentioned
the connection between like a former campaign guy of his
that is connected to this church, because the church pastor
down in Florida was the one that did the interview.
I think so. And this was the first episode, So
it seems like this thing was launched for this express
purpose right out of the gate. Now, as for whether

(01:19:27):
he could have survived had he taken the same approach
with the abortion story, I think yes. I mean, but
he didn't, right, He just denied it. And the problem
that a lot of Republican voters had him believing it
was that it came from CNN. That's the problem when
you ruin your brand so badly that nobody could believe it.
And so I kept, you know, my view on it

(01:19:48):
was like I'm just looking at the information and his
responses are not lining up, and then his entire staff
quits and it's like this seems very bad and he's
just denying it. So like I can't tell people what
the truth is because I don't know what the truth is.
And regarding the black Nazi comment, of all of the
stuff that he said, and I know they make a
big deal about that, but when I read that that

(01:20:09):
that post, I thought that was a joke, like like
he was saying, well.

Speaker 1 (01:20:14):
They're not gonna that, you know that because the thing
and you know, yeah, the other thought that crossed was
I thought I thought it was cool to be racist,
or it's okay to be racist if you're black, but
not if you're black Republican clearly, and you know, those
are all the all the things. We're gonna have to
leave it there. He did a bunch of interview. I

(01:20:34):
hit him with questions on every one of these things too, man,
So I think I was one of the few outlets
he kept coming to and they just dropped off the
face of the earth. So we'll see, but we'll have
to push it to next week. So feel better, brother,
Stop sucking Paul Man
