Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
It is nice weather today before I guess everything gets
ruined tomorrow. But that's okay because the basketball is on.
So you know, you got an excuse me, Oh, I
can't can't go outside. I'm gonna have to sit in
here and just be an absolute statue for the next
three days.

Speaker 2 (00:18):
And we do have a.

Speaker 1 (00:19):
Little basketball that he is going to be part of
the show today because holy crap, what happened over at
NC State, even the President's weighed in on it. I'm
telling you if for a thousand other reasons this combined,
we're just just killing college basketball. And I saw some

(00:40):
players who've taken some criticism just do the transfer portal
and all that stuff, pointing out that you know what
happens with the coaches. So if you don't know, the
men's basketball coach over at NC State who came or
who had originally had been at LSU had to leave
the had to leave the college because of recruiting violations,

(01:03):
I e. Didn't follow the rules then ended up at
NC State. Well, the old the position, the head position
at his former college down there in Louisiana, just came available,
so uh, he just left CAT. His agent send an email,
didn't you know, didn't didn't talk to to Corgan, the

(01:27):
ed over there or anybody face to face. Just peace out.
I'm gone, Dear John Letter. I think they used to
call it back in the day. Wasn't that a TV
show too, Dear John, I don't know why I'm thinking that.
I think it was a TV show anyway. Got the point.
It just it's just scummy, just absolutely scummy, man. So

(01:52):
uh where is the uh here it is? I just
either wouldn't call up Trump's truth or whatever. I really
wish you'd go back to posting on early just simul
posting on Twitter at the very least. I understand that
that's his company over there, but because it causes me
then to have to go because people use screenshots to

(02:12):
have to go do you know verification stuff, and it's
a whole thing. Okay, all right, So he says, I'm
hearing that lightweight Will Wade quit his job at the
illustrious NC State University in Raleigh, where my daughter in
Laura Trump attended, returned to LSU. Can you believe he
quit via email? If I was there, you would hear

(02:33):
the terrifying words from your president. You're fired, very dishonest,
very embarrassing. I mean, and again I don't think they
had any intention of firing them, even though NC State,
you know, couldn't even get in through the playing games.
But whatever, the very dishonest, very embarrassing. I have love

(02:55):
for both nc and Louisiana, of which I won both
big time. Thank you for my you know, NC State
deserves better. Release the email, say you have your attention
to this matter. I'm sure it's I mean, I don't
know if they have released. I haven't seen if they have,
but I'm sure it's just Piddley. I did see there
was a statement that was attributed to him. I'm assuming

(03:17):
that was part of the email, but it's standard filling
the blank stuff. I just want to thank wolf Pack
fans for my time there.

Speaker 2 (03:26):
Blah blah blah. That's great, something nice, and I'm out.

Speaker 1 (03:30):
So yeah, man, right in the right in the middle
of all the the march madness, you got NC State madness.

Speaker 2 (03:37):
Of course, you got UNC madness too.

Speaker 1 (03:40):
And this kind of sucks for NC State just because
now you're recruiting head basketball coaches to the Triangle and
your competing and your you know, you're having to go
against UNC.

Speaker 2 (03:56):
That's you know that's if you if.

Speaker 1 (03:58):
There's somebody who you know, once to who's ahead basketball
coach who may want to because.

Speaker 2 (04:03):
Of the area, but is enough to be on the.

Speaker 1 (04:08):
You know, on the radar bow schools who wins that right,
which is something that has already dealt with for recruiting
basketball to the triangle. If you're n C State, right
because you got Duke, you got you NC there. But anyway, yeah,
that was that was pretty irritating.

Speaker 2 (04:24):
It's you know, a wee bit disrespectful.

Speaker 1 (04:27):
I might add there, and uh, it's I guess this
is just the new way that we do things, man,
and I hate it. I hate it for the sport.
And let me tell you, I never used to be
a college really a college sports fan. I told you,
growed up Wyomi, you got one school, and when I
was younger, I was into it. But once the University
of Wyoming's football team, which was really kind of my

(04:50):
preferred sport, once we went through a period of time
where they were good and they couldn't even get bowl games,
and then it killed their recruiting.

Speaker 2 (04:58):
I just I hated it.

Speaker 1 (05:01):
But you know, then you get a little older and uh,
even up in Minnesota, I was getting into college sports,
and definitely when I moved down to North Carolina. So yeah, man,
I hate to see what's happening to it, especially on
the basketball side with all of this insanity. But uh,
there we go, all right, coming up on the show,

(05:22):
Why Why Who?

Speaker 2 (05:23):
Who?

Speaker 1 (05:23):
Why are people mad at Bob Barker? What I of
all the of all the people to sit here and
do some sort of weird biography thing on about how
horrible he was. I don't, I don't know what the
hell is going on.

Speaker 2 (05:40):
I'll play We'll play you a.

Speaker 1 (05:41):
Little bit of it. I mean, because there's some some
significant allegations in there. Some of it's just strange as hell.
But I was not I was not aware he was.
He was on the the me Too, not Me Too radar,
but just the Cancel radar. I guess maybe I had
heard some about it, but it came across.

Speaker 2 (06:01):
It's just kind of a like one.

Speaker 1 (06:05):
I think it was just I remember reading article where
it was one woman and I couldn't tell she was
just mad.

Speaker 2 (06:09):
She used to be one of the spokes bottles or
whatever on there. But I don't know. They dug some
stuff up.

Speaker 1 (06:17):
I guess it would be the correct way to say it,
so we will dive into it. Was this, Dear John,
was a movie, okay, all right, Yeah, I don't know why,
just those things that pops in your brain when your
mouth is moving, but you're unable to check because you're
hosting the show.

Speaker 2 (06:31):
So but we'll do this.

Speaker 1 (06:33):
We'll go ahead and take a break the Senate. The
Republicans have caved.

Speaker 2 (06:41):
Again.

Speaker 1 (06:43):
It's so predictable. I'll let you know what happened after
a Senate vote just very early this morning. Actually was
taken that we'll return funding to TSA. However, there's some
strings we'll get into that, and then the House is
gonna make it up later today. So details come in
your way in just a few minutes here on the

(07:04):
CaCO Day Radio program. Ten day vacation in the Senate.
I can't remember how long in the house. It wasn't
going to be a good look because you're going to
have every videographer, anyone you know, for whatever reason it
recognized as a member of Congress at a resort or
in an airport getting special shuttle through service. Things like that,

(07:26):
like the visibility of that. As we talked with the
congressman about was going to be not good. So with
that in mind, rather than you know, proactively trying to
move this along by you know, doing things like getting
read of the zombie filibuster and requiring people to actually

(07:46):
post up in there and and talk for you know,
to the extent that they can, and then go ahead
and take your votes.

Speaker 2 (07:53):
They did not have the stones for that.

Speaker 1 (07:54):
So the Republicans did what the Republicans like to do,
and very early this morning capitulated.

Speaker 2 (08:01):
That's right. They went ahead and they passed a funding bill.

Speaker 1 (08:06):
But it doesn't fund immigration enforcement operations, which was the
thing Democrats wanted.

Speaker 2 (08:13):
They actually wanted more than that, but I have.

Speaker 1 (08:15):
A suspicion that this was this was at least this
was going to be the compromise thing, but the Republicans
to compromise on it on an issue where because they
weren't even asking for more they were wanting to maintain
previous funding levels.

Speaker 2 (08:34):
Decided that the fight's not worth it. So what do
we get?

Speaker 1 (08:36):
Well, the Senate voted early this morning it will fund TSA,
Coast Guard, other agencies, but specifically not the immigration enforcement operations,
which is you know, kind of important. So functionally you'll
be able to I guess, get in and out of
an airport quicker. But we now in a country where

(09:01):
while ICE does have funding the DHS, the other the
DHS component for Customs and Border Protection does not. How
how the hell does that work? Because even if you
don't feel that immigration enforcement operations to the extent where
they're going, you know, serving warrants and whatnot, is what
you want to see, we do agree that just the

(09:21):
day to day stuff like you know, manning ports of Hentry,
doing some interior enforcement like you get you know, down
there in Texas and Arizona, and you know, stuff with
the kids stuff that they do where they're trying to
reunite kids. They improve funding for any of that. The
Republicans decided to sign on. I assume the House. By

(09:45):
the way, it was unanimous, just unanimous row call vote.
So now it goes to the House. Obviously they're gonna
they're gonna take it up today. I fully expect they're
gonna go ahead and pass it. But what are we
doing here? What do we do? Immigration was the most
important issue for the voting voters on the right who

(10:10):
approved his current presidency. And you're not even gonna fund
half of it? Yes, I know it was ugly, and yes,
I you know, we we talked to members of Congress,
are your congressman and senator and a senator on this
show and and stressed this and talked about the issue.

Speaker 2 (10:29):
But I mean to give up the main thing that
they want.

Speaker 1 (10:35):
And I know, I saw the polling and I understand
the messaging issue. I saw what was I saw what
was being forced on by things like Apple News, where
they had they had misc They had a Politico article
up there that made it look like Chuck Schumer wants
to fund all this stuff and the Republicans won't.

Speaker 2 (10:53):
The whole article was garbage.

Speaker 1 (10:55):
It was the most served, most viewed one on the
issue within the Apple News because now they're tracking Apple
News because of what looks to be a very biased
selection process for what they push out there. But yeah,
if you only read that article, you'd think that the
Democrats are trying to fund all this stuff and they
eat mean Republicans won't. But in reality, clearly it was

(11:17):
the other way around. And I want to point out
that now Democrats have figured out that they can they
can get away with this.

Speaker 2 (11:25):
Anytime they want it.

Speaker 1 (11:26):
They can just they can just temper tantrum like your
kid bouncing around on the floor because you won't buy
a candy bar at the store and they'll get the
candy bar, or the very least they won't get called
out for it. And they've now done it this twice.
I don't, right, ross you remember any time when we
had them back to back to back government shutdowns.

Speaker 2 (11:48):
No, it was so injurious, right, I can't remember a year.

Speaker 1 (11:55):
They would do it, and then you know they're very
tepid about doing it, and you know, then it was
a market thing where you're, all right, who who has
perceived to be a fault here versus who is actually
a fault Usually but then it was like the third rail.
You didn't want to touch it again because there was
a certain recovery period because it irritates the American people
so much. So to do it multiple times in a

(12:18):
span of months shows me that you now it's another
tool in your tool bag, much more so than it
was before. And they they remember everything is about running
out the clock on Trump.

Speaker 2 (12:32):
That's the Democrat strategy.

Speaker 1 (12:34):
You think they're not going to shut the government down
down again before his term in office is up.

Speaker 2 (12:40):
Hell, yeah, they're going to.

Speaker 1 (12:43):
What do I have to worry about runs the clock
and they don't give a crap about the four hundred
and seventy And I'm sure what the number was there
is after yesterday, but this is a number I saw
yesterday morning. Four hundred and seventy TSA agents have quit,
just quit, significant number. And I think the number of
pride is probably more if you add in people who

(13:05):
are just like I'm done with this crap, who might
be actively looking for another gig, and then nobody cares
they they don't.

Speaker 2 (13:12):
Care about them. In Washington, bull thing's a mess.

Speaker 1 (13:17):
And uh, now we don't have we don't have the
full breadth of the immigration enforcement. And do you think
the Democrats are going to approve a standalone bill to
fund a CBP. There's not a chance it is much now,
it is so much less likely to happen. So we're

(13:37):
just we're just going to exist on a plane where
we don't have funding for immigration enforcement. That's such a
betrayal of what the gop ran on, absolute betrayal. You
go from this is the main issue for the voters
who put us in here to we're not funding that issue.

(13:58):
We're not even maintaining status quote let alone increasing, which
is what people were being sold.

Speaker 2 (14:04):
Make that make sense, man? All right? So senators work
through the night. Oh good for them.

Speaker 1 (14:12):
The deal would fund let's see FEMA, we know how
wildly efficient they are, the Coast Guard and TSA, but
does not include funding for immigration and customs enforcement. That's crazy, Okay,
so they cust Okay, so customs. So if you go

(14:35):
to the airport and you're coming in customs, they did
fund a slice of that, but no immigration for US
with no border protection.

Speaker 2 (14:42):
That's great.

Speaker 1 (14:44):
The package puts no new limits on immigration enforcement, which
has remained largely uninterrupted. It's because they funded part of it,
but you need both parts of it if it's going
to work efficiently. The coach of the NC State men's
basketball team, mister Wade, who just like, I'm just have
my agent send an email. That's how I'm gonna quit.

(15:05):
Screw all you all that gave me this opportunity. I'm
headed back down to Baton Rouge, a place Adelie previously
because they cheated, did stuff illegally. And then he just
dips out, this is this is one.

Speaker 2 (15:19):
This is one of the.

Speaker 1 (15:20):
Things that made me really start to enjoy college. Athletics
more and that is the fans man.

Speaker 2 (15:28):
So like people who.

Speaker 1 (15:31):
Are upset about this figured out roughly, all right, so
he's quitting, he's gonna have to leave. We got to
figure out when that is. So they, you know, they
checked everything over at r DU. They found the plane
right because they said the the ad from LSU flew
up with a plane that's wned by the university. So

(15:51):
they figured out, all right, there's a plane, there's the
tail number. It's flying there. So they then went to
the airport and heckled this dude as he's showing up
at General Aviation.

Speaker 2 (16:03):
Before he goes and gets on the plane. That's commitment.

Speaker 1 (16:06):
I don't know if they just happened to be in
the area, but there's a few videos floating around, but
it's not just it's not it's just one person. They're like,
all right, the last last thing you're gonna hear from
us is us screaming at you. And that's what that's
what happened, and people posted videos of it.

Speaker 2 (16:21):
So again that's that's the path people by dad.

Speaker 1 (16:24):
They're like, I I gotta I gotta leave this afternoon, boss,
what are you doing?

Speaker 2 (16:28):
Heckling Will waite at the airport.

Speaker 1 (16:30):
All right, carry on, that's great, man, because who the
hell wants to go near an airport if they don't
have to?

Speaker 2 (16:37):
Right now?

Speaker 1 (16:40):
So well well done, I guess I would say, all right,
let's get over to a few other things here, shall we.

Speaker 3 (16:46):
Uh?

Speaker 1 (16:46):
Oh, reminder coming up? Of course we'll chit chat with
mister Pete callender. That will be at eight o five,
so uh and then it's home stretch man, because Friday, Friday.
All right, this might be well, I should say this.
If you're a criminal, you're probably gonna love this. If

(17:08):
you're a normal person other than this dim witted lawmaker,
this is the dumbest proposal I've ever heard. Thankfully it's
up in New York, so we can you know, we
can add a distance watch in horror as things unfold.
So a state lawmaker has put forward a proposal, and

(17:30):
of course this is a green initiative, and actually it's
called the Dark Sky's Protection Act, and that would require.

Speaker 2 (17:40):
The city of.

Speaker 1 (17:41):
New York to go dark after eleven PM until five
am to save energy, help migratory birds, and avoid light pollution,
which again is a hallmark of a city. Do you
want to if you want to avoid light pollution, drive
out into the country. Very simple, But can you imagine
in New York City where essentially, let's see here, would

(18:06):
require businesses and residents to hit the offseach between eleven
PM and five am. The goal, she says, is preserve
and enhanced the state's dark sky while promoting safety for people, birds,
and other wildlife. Do you know how completely unsafe that
would be because it's you know, it's not like people
don't move around, especially in a big city like New York,

(18:28):
either for work or for like coming home from the
bar or whatever after eleven. So now you're not gonna
put street lights on. You want storefront lights to not
be on. Here's some guy walking home from the bar
to eleven thirty or some woman. Good luck, man, if
I'm a criminal, I am posted up outside of one

(18:48):
of those. I would say, in a dark alley, you
don't have to be in the alley.

Speaker 2 (18:53):
You can just.

Speaker 1 (18:56):
You can just be on the other side of the street,
just waiting for him. I'm just reading from this is
and saying, here we go. Our ancestors were able to
experience a night sky full of stars, but now eighty
percent of Americans can no longer see the milky Way. Hey,
do you know what if you want to go jump
in the way back machine? Do you know what else
our ancestors experience. Let's go like pre illumination, the experience

(19:22):
having to build fires so that animals wouldn't murder them.
That's the thing, I know, the experience of being terrified
of the dark. Yes, yes, that's that's what our answer.

Speaker 2 (19:36):
Yes, could they look up at the night sky and
did they? Did they do so?

Speaker 1 (19:40):
And contemplate absolutely right, because it's how we have all
the stuff the lore there. But also they said, like
four fires on the corner, so the thing doesn't need.

Speaker 2 (19:48):
Us is a thing.

Speaker 4 (19:50):
It's this cycle that happens where we create a solution
to a problem, you forget about the problem, right, which
initially you know you created the thing for or to solve,
and you get rid of that thing, and then the
problem comes back and you're like, what does happen?

Speaker 2 (20:05):
We could getting murdered by saber two tigers? What happened?

Speaker 4 (20:09):
You kind of get spoiled. You're like, oh, this is score. Well,
it's safe at night. For the longest time, for most
of human history, it was not safe at.

Speaker 1 (20:15):
Night, not in the least, not a good time to
be out. Really a time when you had.

Speaker 2 (20:23):
To group up. Somebody had to be on watch.

Speaker 5 (20:25):
Man.

Speaker 1 (20:27):
Now the your ADT system is on watch with the floodlights,
the motion lights that come on. Yeah, I can't Russ.
I can't decide if I want them to do it,
just to watch.

Speaker 5 (20:39):
Now.

Speaker 4 (20:39):
Who is proposing this?

Speaker 1 (20:40):
This is this is a legislator in New York State
of New York. This wouldn't just be for New York City,
but it would be for cities in New York State.

Speaker 4 (20:50):
I don't know. It kind of sounds like they have
like a failed policy there and they're trying to cover
it up. But they're going to turn into like Pyung
Yang at night. You see the photo of from above
where oh yeah lights, Yeah, that's not a good sign.

Speaker 5 (21:03):
No.

Speaker 1 (21:04):
And by the way, New York City should be very
bright at night. It's got a legendary skyline. It's the
city that never sleeps. Like It's just what a horrible idea.
The bill, which would go into effect in January of
twenty twenty eight, notes that lights used for travel and
public safety would be exempt.

Speaker 2 (21:26):
All lights at night.

Speaker 1 (21:27):
Are kind of used for public safety if they illuminate
an area outside and inside. Right, How many of you
had one of those auto timers on a lamp growing up?
Do you have one of those ross where you had
the lamp auto time?

Speaker 6 (21:44):
No?

Speaker 2 (21:44):
We did not, okay, we And it.

Speaker 1 (21:47):
Was just it was this thing where if you're out
of town, you wanted the lights to come on, you know,
in certain lebals, so that people could see that, you know,
oh it looks like somebody.

Speaker 2 (21:56):
Is in there.

Speaker 4 (21:57):
Well, I mean it was part of being you know,
the inner city as well. I mean we had these
giant lights outside the house right right right, would just
come on at night.

Speaker 1 (22:06):
Yeah, No, I'm talking about like inside the house of
the appearance we had.

Speaker 2 (22:10):
Yeah, so we had a little lamp. I remember, we
had a lamp timer.

Speaker 1 (22:12):
And then if we left the house, which which ironically
there's no other houses around you're talking about noddle of nowhere,
and she still had this lamp timer that would.

Speaker 4 (22:21):
Come on, Yes, the home alone lights.

Speaker 1 (22:23):
Yeah, and then I had to cut I had all
these cardboard cutouts and I used all the string and
uh yeah.

Speaker 4 (22:28):
Yeah. So the bad guys would be outside your house.
It'd be like, ah, we're going to rob that house
and the lights would come on and be like, oh drats,
there's a party.

Speaker 2 (22:36):
In there, listen to that.

Speaker 1 (22:37):
So yeah, yeah it was uh. We only ever had
one person try to break in and he was hammered.
All right, yeah, this is a horrible idea. But it's
such a horrible idea. I want to see you guys
try it.

Speaker 2 (22:49):
I don't one. I don't want anyone to get killed.
And I kind of think that that might people would
get hurt if you did this.

Speaker 1 (22:56):
But I think sometimes if your idea is so stupid,
you almost have to see it come to fruish so
that maybe something in your brain will auto correct itself,
like what was I thinking? But that is that is
high hope there. When talking about say moon back New
York legislators, critics were quick to bock the lights out
bill is not a bright idea. There's so many puns

(23:17):
in this article and a dream, a present and a
dream for crooks, thugs and gangsters criminal gangs approved this message,
said one opposium hallmaker.

Speaker 4 (23:29):
Why don't we replace the electric lights because they're so
bad and on every single house, like the corner of
every home. We could put kerosene lanterns.

Speaker 2 (23:39):
Or like live.

Speaker 4 (23:40):
Yeah, why don't we do that?

Speaker 1 (23:42):
I'm thinking the giant fires signal fires. Yeah, you know
from what's from Lord of the Rings where they're like
going to talk to everyone. You have this giant signal fires,
letting them know that the army's coming.

Speaker 2 (23:54):
We do those.

Speaker 1 (23:56):
I mean, we got options. Oh you know what, I
had another idea. Ross forget kerosene. Uh, let's go with
the whale oil. You know, let's go real old timey.
I mean, we have to go murder a bunch of whales.
But but you know, it's more on naturelle. Maybe the
birds wouldn't care as much.

Speaker 4 (24:16):
Why don't we replace all the homes with wooden homes
and then put an open flame on the corner of
each home for the light of night.

Speaker 2 (24:22):
Yeah, we'll call it the Chicago model. Yeah yeah, yeaheah, Okay,
I mean I think they I think they did that
one time. Okay, yeah, I think that was the thing.

Speaker 1 (24:33):
Light plush has many negative impacts, including the disruption the
natural patterns of Oh shut up, you know. And by
the way, here's the best part. So the the idiot
who proposed this is retiring next year. They they decided
not to run for reelection. So this is this would
be this lunatics parting gift to the state if somehow

(24:53):
they can get it to pass.

Speaker 2 (24:55):
So uh yeah, yeah, and it doesn't.

Speaker 1 (24:59):
By the way, I don't know that there's widespread support,
but holy hell, what an insane proposal. All right, six
forty five? Hang on right where? Oh yes, did you
go to the kitchen? Because I don't think we should
have kitchens. So I'm proposing a new law when you're
rid of all the kitchens because they use a lot
of energy, and just like our ancestors before the advent
of fire, we just go back to eating raw meat.

(25:20):
What's the worst that could happen. I'm sure it'd be fine.
See I could be a New York legislator. All right,
let me get into this. Somebody's dog lost its damn
mind over in Smithfield. I mean, let's see here. Please

(25:40):
say five different people were bitten by the same dog,
two specific incidents, and the city there of Smithfield has
had enough and it appears that Kujo here is not
going to be able to do it again. All right,
so we'll play our favorite game. What kind of dog

(26:03):
do you think was terrorizing and eating the citizens of Smithfield.
So they are now getting the final punishment.

Speaker 2 (26:11):
Ross. We had to guess what was weeny dog Bob?

Speaker 4 (26:14):
No, no weenie dog HuaHua mixed bob.

Speaker 2 (26:19):
Why would somebody do that?

Speaker 7 (26:20):
But no.

Speaker 2 (26:23):
Dogs?

Speaker 4 (26:25):
Pin sure mix bob.

Speaker 2 (26:27):
Oh that they look but they're so nope, no weenie dog.

Speaker 1 (26:31):
Okay, there's no we dogs here, man, all right, this
was This was a tough one, I admit.

Speaker 2 (26:38):
So it was a it's a pit bull, so yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (26:43):
By the way, for you pit bol owners, not your
pit bull unless you own a pit bull named Midnight
and Smithfield is eating people. I understand that yours would
never go on a rampage to eat people of one
of our lovely small towns. So I'm not talking about yours.
I'm talking about this one. So don't send me your
email else. Yours is GANDHI. Yours volunteers at the Orphanage. Yours,

(27:04):
you know, probably whenever somebody asked everybody changes for the
issue of the day their social media profile picture.

Speaker 2 (27:10):
I'm sure your dog doesn't. Not your dog, just this one. Okay. Sorry,
sorry to give you such a tough one there. Ross.

Speaker 1 (27:20):
Also, I don't know did a weenie dog show me
where the weeni dog hurts you.

Speaker 4 (27:25):
No, I'm a fan of the weenie dog. I just
assumed it was a smart Guess can.

Speaker 2 (27:31):
You cross a weenie dog with a Chihuahua.

Speaker 4 (27:37):
I don't know if we can put a man on
the moon, so I'm pretty sure it's possible.

Speaker 2 (27:42):
What would you want to that's another thing entirely.

Speaker 1 (27:45):
I'm sure somebody would, especially if they can miniaturize it
and put it in their stupid purse. Okay, all right,
So I just want to get the news for you.

Speaker 2 (27:54):
There. This is uh, there we go.

Speaker 1 (28:01):
I guess this is a positive thing to come out
of this story. So if you remember there was a
crazy story, we talked about it. We even talked to
the sheriff whose department was responsible for running all this
stuff down. Mister sam Page set to be the next
senator from up there. So you had this woman who
said she was going to kmart. This is out of

(28:25):
Rockingham County, but she's crossing over into Virginia to go
to a kmart up there about thirty minutes away, leaves
her family twenty four years ago and never returns.

Speaker 2 (28:34):
And then the you know, the rumor mill. Because you're
dealing with small.

Speaker 1 (28:38):
Town just started flying right, Oh, you know, the husband
probably murdered his wife. The kids don't know what the
hell's going Nobody knows what's going on. And for over
two decades, this is how it was. And then, as
we found out when we were interviewing the sheriff about this,
the disappeared.

Speaker 2 (28:57):
Woman who by the way, didn't he leave the state of.

Speaker 1 (29:00):
North Carolina, which I think is just crazy, but did
go as far south as possible, right there on the
South Carolina border and started living there. And then here
a few months ago, applied for something. I don't remember
if they said specifically what it was, but some sort
of something which then flagged right based on who she

(29:21):
is and she's a missing person was flagged. Investigators went
down to talk to her, and then the story just
went viral nationally, like how do you do that? Walk
out twenty four hour or twenty four years later? And
if you remember, the woman did not. She had no
interest at the time in reconnecting with her family because

(29:41):
now she's got adult children, right, didn't want to reconnect
with them, and it was a head scratch.

Speaker 2 (29:46):
Everyone was talking about it.

Speaker 1 (29:48):
Well, that has changed Rockenham County woman reunites with daughter
after walking out in two thousand and one. A North
Carolina woman who left her family more in twenty four
years ago was re night with her daughter during an
emotional meeting outside the Rockingham County Courthouse yesterday. Michelle Smith
was found alive and well in February after being reported

(30:10):
missing there in two thousand and one after taking the
shopping trip there. Uh see, here's you know, most of
this stuff. Oh and she also she had a hearing
over a DWI charge jading back to two thousand and one,
so that's why she, I guess one of the other
reasons she was up there. According to the Rockingham County

(30:32):
District Court record, Smith was issued a citation for driving
well and paired and a civil revocation of the driver's
license that warn't issued December of one, and she did
make the appearance for the charge, and you know, I'm
not sure how that's tracking out, but again was able
to then actually physically reunite. I don't know if that

(30:53):
sticks or if that was you know what that's going
to be. Obviously it's going to be very emotional. And
if I remember, here's the post from the daughter. The
docter's name is Amanda. In a post right after this
had happened, Amanda had written quote, I'm ecstatic, I'm po't
and I'm heartbroken. Okay, so it looks like she will

(31:16):
have to come back here next month for another hearing
on the dw I thing.

Speaker 2 (31:21):
So I get.

Speaker 1 (31:21):
I don't know if that's quite an end to the story,
but definitely one of the stranger ones we chatted about
here very recently. All Right, coming up on the show,
Apparently Bob Barker is a big fat racist or something.
So E the E Network has a show called Dirty
Rotten Scandals and then every week they just basically take

(31:43):
down some old Hollywood person. So apparently we're doing the
Bob Barker thing. I don't know, man, I watched that
whole five minute clip. We're gonna play a little bit
of it. I have not watched the full episode. It's
some of it comes off as well one kind of unprovable,
and I you know, it's hard to know what everyone's

(32:03):
motivations are there.

Speaker 2 (32:05):
I know very little. The only things I really know.

Speaker 1 (32:08):
About whoever this miss Rachel Chick is is when she
pops up from a controversy standpoint, I don't know, really
the baseline there, but Ross knows more about it.

Speaker 2 (32:19):
But you know, we had some incidents.

Speaker 1 (32:23):
I think the first time I really learned about the
Miss Rachel character is when she had that Gazen girl
on the Girl from Gaza On and the whole interview
was about how everyone's starving. And the reason that girl
was on her radar is because she has a popular
cooking YouTube channel and clearly does a lot, you know,

(32:47):
has access to stuff to cook and eat. And you know,
it turned into it turned into a Palestinian plug interview,
is really what it was.

Speaker 4 (32:57):
We actually had her audio on the show a few
years ago. Okay, what was that incident right here? And
it was a thing where she was talking about sharing
and being a good person and in a way she
was referring to Trump. Yeah, like she was just dropping
like you know, like she was saying things so you
knew who she was talking about.

Speaker 1 (33:15):
It was like it was code but not really right. Okay,
well the code's off, I guess now, so in fact, and.

Speaker 4 (33:23):
Then no, it just then it just got worse and worse.

Speaker 2 (33:27):
Where is.

Speaker 1 (33:30):
Right, here's the Gossen girl audio. That's what I was
looking for, all right, So this is this is this
is the content. And again you have to you have
to remember and they did not disclose this by the way,
like the internet figured it out. This girl does and
and had literally posted a video like a few days
before this interview, but has a cooking channel on YouTube.

(33:50):
So while this discussion is going on, Uh, those two
things really don't comport. It looks a little propaganda.

Speaker 2 (33:59):
Is here's the.

Speaker 3 (34:01):
Way, my friends, it's missus Rachel. I have someone really
special that I want to introduce you to today.

Speaker 2 (34:08):
Hello Omi guy.

Speaker 3 (34:13):
Yeah, mean has a really important message she wants to
share with the world. No child should ever have food, water,
or medical care block from your heart. No, no where
they're born has human rights.

Speaker 1 (34:30):
All right, that's all I can take of that. And
and you have to remember what was going on is
it was it was this thing where they found out
that like almost all of the aid that was coming
in initially into Indogaza was immediately taken by the by
Hamas or by some of the more violent fashion little

(34:55):
groups that are in there. It wasn't getting to the people.
And then they were like, on, look at that. They
won't send food in here. They're blocking food when in reality,
what was it was piracy that was happening. And then
when we got more aggressive in there, and they were
you know, they had troops literally standing guard over the distribution.
You had multiple incidents where people came and tried to

(35:16):
attack them, and the goal was not necessarily get the food.
They wanted to try to get Israeli troops to fire
on the crowd so that they can make you know,
it can get all propaganda.

Speaker 2 (35:27):
And she's over here like.

Speaker 1 (35:28):
Oh, let's get this little girl who runs a cooking
channel and make her the face of it so that
rubs some people the wrong way.

Speaker 2 (35:35):
Then, and I can't.

Speaker 1 (35:37):
Remember exactly what the context of it was, she put
a tweet out or no, she liked the tweet right
ras she liked the tweet or retweeted something. And then
and it was it seemed very you know, boo jews
in her messaging. And then she wrote some comment and

(35:57):
like kind of doubled down on it and she claimed
she you know that she's being taken out of context
and she was going to dip out. Well she's done
dipping out because now the mask is completely off, so
she is not only does she do an interview, she
then was interviewed by NBC News after she interviewed a

(36:18):
little nine year old boy who, along with his parents,
is going through deportation processing had him on there and
then NBC saw this, so they did a whole piece
with her about how great she is. She said, it
was unbelievably surreal to see the sweet little face and
I feel like I was on call with somebody who's
in jail. It broke me and it was something I

(36:38):
never thought i'd encounter. We're trying to get a child
out of jail to do a spelling bee. That was
kind of the focus of what was going on. Oh
he had his big spelling bee coming up. And now
he's going to be sent back with his parents to
I don't know exactly where he's from, but somewhere in
Latin America. And yeah, taking such an opportunity away from

(37:02):
a child is cruelty, a curse, a Curso which is
her last name. I'm amazed at the infinite Let's see here,
all right, that's all of her quotes in the NBC.
I'm not going to read you the whole thing, but like,
she's all in on this man, and you're right ross
the language there is coded but it's not that coded.

Speaker 2 (37:23):
Has it impacted her like her ratings? Do we know?

Speaker 1 (37:26):
Because she had like what does she get like twenty
million or something crazy number. She's very popular for subscribers
on YouTube. Okay, nineteen point three millions. Not quite twenty million,
but nineteen point three million. I'd be very interested to
see if it has in fact impacted her, all right,
eight eight eight nine three four seven eight seven four.

(37:48):
That's if you want to be on the show. All right,
So I've looked, I've heard, I've heard a couple of
people over the years say that Bob Barker was Oh
he would say racist stuff, or he would say, you know, toxic,
toxic masculinity, and you know, some of that you chalk
up to the age. But also I hadn't really seen anything.

(38:08):
I hadn't seen any proof of that other than just
anecdotal stories from people who were not, in this case,
rolling on the prices right for a year and then
not on the price is right. And there's no telling
how that happened. But he Entertainment decided, hey, let's go
ahead and do a whole episode taking Bob Barker down.

Speaker 2 (38:29):
Here's a bit of it.

Speaker 1 (38:31):
I know that Bob is sleeping with Diane.

Speaker 4 (38:33):
Oh my gosh, Bob has no.

Speaker 6 (38:36):
Idea that he has had sex with a woman who
has had sex with black men.

Speaker 8 (38:42):
Bob has always said that black men.

Speaker 6 (38:46):
Are the most diseased people on there. And then I
started to hear that they were only allowed to have
two black contestants on the show at a time, and
to let Marco know of Aid and jessin that's about
to come on down, they would have the letter.

Speaker 2 (39:05):
B random car all right.

Speaker 1 (39:07):
So this is the part where I'm like, really, really,
they would, they would They would alter the card to
put the letter B there so that Bob knew when
he called Joe's name that if Joe was black, Like what,
I don't even understand how that would.

Speaker 2 (39:25):
Why would that matter if you're calling the name, you're
calling the name.

Speaker 4 (39:27):
That's really stupid, because like so Rod Rowdy would say
the name right right, and then they get up and
Bob's on the stage and you could obviously look and
see the person getting up and yeah, but that doesn't
make any sense.

Speaker 2 (39:40):
No, it doesn't.

Speaker 1 (39:41):
And you noticed it if she said I heard, I
don't know if you caught this. She said, I heard,
so in the case of the lady who's making those
last two accusations, those are not she doesn't know, she
says she heard. It's again, I don't know what happened
behind the scenes. You know, Bob Barker's gone, so you know,
we can't ask him. But like some of it just

(40:02):
doesn't as Ross's point out, like it doesn't make sense
from an administrative standpoint, because he has eyeballs.

Speaker 2 (40:09):
You're absolutely right, didn't care to.

Speaker 8 (40:11):
Be that close to somebody that was not white, a
black contested and they try to hug bomb Marker and
he would kind of shrink away from them, don't.

Speaker 2 (40:30):
Don't touch me, all right, And they used that.

Speaker 1 (40:34):
Now, if if you look at the comments under whether
this was posted, of course, because you know the video exists,
people posted tons of screenshots of him both embracing black
contestants and also the contestants row where there's clearly more
than two black contestants there, right, so you know, and
again you know, to say that it was that it

(40:55):
was a rule, that it was never allowed when people
have video evidence of literally the time that the chick
on the show where that was the case, I don't know,
but yeah, I guess if you want to see the
whole thing, it's on E.

Speaker 2 (41:08):
But a lot of it sounded very second handy. But
who knows.

Speaker 1 (41:12):
Maybe Bob got off there and he's like, f them
dogs and cats and then puts his plan outfit on
and hangs out in the green.

Speaker 2 (41:18):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (41:20):
I don't know, but I don't know that I was
convinced by anything that I saw there. And that's the
whole premise of this show is just, hey, let's let's
let's go back and talk about John Wayne and what
he did or Bob Barker in any of the rest,
and I do it feels very exploitive, all right, seven
sixteen case O Day Radio program, Hang.

Speaker 4 (41:39):
On serious Rakass.

Speaker 1 (41:43):
Gorman Street closed in mul directions between High forty and
event Ferry.

Speaker 4 (41:47):
The on ram from southbound Gorman to forty westbound is closed.

Speaker 1 (41:52):
Oh man, Just sad little update here, I think.

Speaker 2 (41:55):
And he's thirty. It was thirty nine too. Uh So
there's the taker Bell.

Speaker 1 (42:02):
So the son of ww I'm gonna say WWF. You
can't stop me, The son of the late WWF star
Paul Bearer, Oh yeah, has passed away at the age
of thirty nine. Apparently he went in for a surgery,
there was a complication and he was in hospice.

Speaker 2 (42:24):
And now he has since passed away.

Speaker 1 (42:25):
So if you're the family, because Paul Barre, you know,
clearly is dead. If you're the family, you got to
have the sun cremated, right, Oh yeah, you have to,
now do you when you cremate, do you leave the
urn on like a mantle or can you carry it
around him?

Speaker 4 (42:41):
The probably tradition would say you carry that urn around?

Speaker 5 (42:44):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (42:44):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, we're sticking a family traditionery. Can I
use the urn as a weapon.

Speaker 4 (42:49):
You can, It's been done before, but primarily it's used
also for its regentative powers.

Speaker 2 (42:56):
Oh that's your good point. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (42:57):
If you're injured, say you're walking around the house, a
trip on something, Boom, you bang your head on the toilet,
you see the flux capacitor. But before then you're down
for the count.

Speaker 1 (43:05):
You rub the the urn on they head, boom, right
back up right. I forgot about because that sounds a
little like it sounds a little I don't know witchcrafty,
So you know what I'm saying, I.

Speaker 2 (43:19):
Don't know. I don't know the concept of the healing Urn.

Speaker 4 (43:22):
I you know, I like spend way too much time
walking around the house on my own doing Pallbear impersonations. Yeah,
like it happened. I think it's common we say that much.

Speaker 1 (43:33):
And whose opinion yours? Your family, societal society in.

Speaker 4 (43:38):
The kitchen making lunch and I'm just.

Speaker 2 (43:40):
Like, oh, bird.

Speaker 4 (43:43):
Mark, He's like, shut up, stop it with the pall Bear.

Speaker 1 (43:47):
Well, all les, she knows who it is, right, because
it would be far weirder.

Speaker 2 (43:51):
She had no idea why you were doing that.

Speaker 4 (43:52):
I'm waiting for the call from school to be like
your son keeps walking around the school? Who I can't wait?
Can't I wait?

Speaker 2 (44:00):
Dude, he has to do it with the Easter Matt
Easter mask and the burn.

Speaker 4 (44:03):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (44:05):
So, I don't know if you guys saw this picture.
I saw Ross sweet out yesterday. Lincoln got him a
and it looks like the rabbit from Donnie Darko, which
Ross hadn't seen so he didn't understand the reference. But
it's you know, it's an Easter rabbit mask that fully
goes over his face. He was just rocking that what
he rocked it the whole day, right, Yeah.

Speaker 4 (44:20):
They were supposed to put it on just for pictures,
you know, in his class. Yeah, and he was like, no,
I'm wearing this thing the whole day, the whole day.
And he came out at school pickup. We picked him
up yesterday. It came out to forty. There he is
wearing the mask. I got it.

Speaker 2 (44:35):
Did he take it off it? But he got home
at least he did. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (44:37):
Oh, okay, dude, he's pump. He's pumped for the pump
for the the egg hunt and all that stuff. Huh, well,
well we got it. You know, we got done a
little over a week. So plenty of times who planned
there just looking for anything else on the bear thing?

Speaker 2 (44:52):
What was he doing? Okay?

Speaker 1 (44:54):
So he actually uh he was DJ Pringle. He had
his own wrestling character. So now after you've tortured your
wife for however long you guys have been married, you're
gonna now torture the show the whole day. I mean,
I can it's possible. I feel like this is my
fault for bringing this story. There's no one to blame

(45:15):
but me.

Speaker 4 (45:15):
Done this to yourself.

Speaker 2 (45:17):
I did this. Yeah, this is like talk like a
pirate day. I you know, you mentioned that, And the
whole thing is to just go South.

Speaker 4 (45:25):
Oh yeah, but if you know, phone lines are always
open for any wrestling impression any at all. When what
you're I don't know, maybe you're a trucker, eighteen wheeler,
you know what I mean, tractor trailer, wherever you're from,
different words, same thing, and you're driving. You're like, you know,
I need to do a Paul Bear impersonation right now,
or I need to do a Macho man in impression

(45:45):
right now. Whatever it is, you always feel free to
call in it. We've done this on the show for
decades now, right, Wrestling Impression Friday. It's always been a thing.

Speaker 2 (45:54):
Here, is that? Okay? Right?

Speaker 1 (45:57):
I must I think maybe that scenario or some fell
down and bang their head.

Speaker 2 (46:01):
That must have happened to me because I have no
memory of that. It's weird. And I don't have a
magic earn either to heal me. So that's that's uh,
I mean, that's very unfortunate for me.

Speaker 4 (46:15):
That's been a staple in the show, I mean I forever.

Speaker 1 (46:19):
All right, So here's here's what I can. I will
make an agreement with you. I will allow this. However,
the only wrestler you're allowed to call in and impersonate
today is Kine. Okay, come on, man, what is Kane?
Not a popular but he's a popular wrestler, was right now? Yeah,
somebody driving You're like, man, I've been hauling.

Speaker 4 (46:39):
This this rig for fifty forty nine states now and
I really see I really need to do a raise
hermon impression on the radio.

Speaker 2 (46:47):
You know, No, it's Kane day, It's Caine day today.
Or you could do uh Nikita Koloff. I'll allow that
as he was. He the one that to speak. That's
the theme. By the way, I'm throwing out wrestlers who didn't.

Speaker 1 (47:04):
Speak per se, although you did have the electronic voice box,
and I know Kin eventually did, but still that's not
the point. Those are the ones you're allowed. Uh and
uh there you go. So uh that's called compromise that
we got right there, all right?

Speaker 2 (47:19):
Eight eight eight?

Speaker 1 (47:20):
No, why is there no no phone? No, And you're
not even gonna write the name. You're just gonna write
the could you want me to you want me to
say it? You want me to pretend like this person
is the macho man?

Speaker 4 (47:32):
All right?

Speaker 2 (47:33):
Whatever, go ahead, sir, Oh yeah, I wanted to talk
about this Senate field this morning. Macho man didn't going
for it, Which which one, sir, do you want to
talk this morning?

Speaker 9 (47:48):
We were all put it under the bed and put
it right through.

Speaker 1 (47:54):
I wish you were the Bacho man so I could
send you up there to smack all the Republicans who
caved in the Senate on this are right upside the head,
be knocking.

Speaker 2 (48:02):
Some hands out with these we give up people. He
didn't both for this. Yeah, I hear you.

Speaker 1 (48:09):
All right, I'll let you get back to your cocaine.
Not World Wrestling Friday. That's not what WWF stands for. Sorry,
somebody tweeted it tweeted that at me. Oh all right,
let's clear the phones. Yes, mister Hogan.

Speaker 9 (48:28):
Yeah, brother, I just wanted to call and on this
momentous day when we welcome to our brother Paul to
the Great Show in the Sky. I'm just sad that
it happens to be on your birthday.

Speaker 7 (48:39):
Happy birthday, brother.

Speaker 2 (48:41):
It's not any of those things.

Speaker 1 (48:43):
Thank We're gonna fact check that last call when it
wasn't Paul Paul's been dad, it was his son DJ Pringle,
who I don't know that he sounded like that, So
it's actually do there's and I can't remember exactly what
if it's from a specific documentary or whatever, but there

(49:04):
was a clip I saw Paul Behar explaining how he
became that character, and just like, but it gave you
insight too into how Vince really did business. And then
he get an idea and he just like the premise
was they wanted to find some for him, and then
they're like, hey, you worked at a mortuary for five minutes,
and then boom there was Paul Barr And initially he's like, yeah,

(49:26):
I don't know about this, but I'll trust you, and
clearly it's it's one of the more iconic characters in
the history of the sport.

Speaker 4 (49:34):
It's fun how you learn how like Vince McMahon would
tell people what their gimmicks were. Yeah, like if you
didn't come up with your own gimmick or because a
lot of times you would have to try to sell yourself.
Like Chris Scott Hall when he came up with Razor ramone. Right,
he just pretty much did Tony Montana for Vince McMahon.
And Vince McMahon had never seen scarface and did not
know of Tony Montana, so he was like, this is
an amazing gimmick, and that's pretty much what you got.

(49:56):
And he sold himself. But sometimes like he would come
to you with your gimmicks. So when it comes to
like the Undertaker, right, he just called them up. But
he was like, hi, am I speaking with the Undertaker
after having a meeting with Vince and and he's like, well, yeah,
I guess I'm the Undertaker now, Like he was just
this is what you're gonna do. This is going to
be your gimmick.

Speaker 2 (50:13):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (50:14):
And he had a good eye for it too, you know,
clearly as the value of his company and the popularity
of the sport you know, continue to grow.

Speaker 2 (50:25):
So yeah, so there we go. All right, all right,
no more phones, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you.
All right, I'm retired.

Speaker 4 (50:34):
I feel like an Ultimate Warrior impression would really wake
me up. The coffee isn't working, you know, it's just
not working. I'm just saying, if there's anybody out there
who can do an Ultimate Warrior I would appreciate it.

Speaker 1 (50:48):
Can we Does every one of them have to be
the that type of delivery?

Speaker 4 (50:53):
No, they don't have to be.

Speaker 1 (50:55):
Like if somebody was call it to do China, that's fine.
I don't you know what I'm saying, Good luck with them.

Speaker 4 (51:00):
So you want like Kamala the Ugandan giant, Well yes, yeah.

Speaker 2 (51:06):
Yeah, let's go ahead and get canceled as well. What
the hell?

Speaker 1 (51:09):
Yeah, if people want to call up and do impressions
of uh uh African wrestler.

Speaker 4 (51:15):
Oh and Iron Iron chic would be good. It would
be topical. It would be topical. Well, I wonder, I
wonder how he how he's feeling about all this. He
would feel great about it. He hated the regime. They
kicked him out, they tried to kill him, they wanted
to murder him. Dude, what a good what a good
bit like he was the bodyguard for the Shah or whatever. Right, yeah,

(51:37):
and then stuff went down in Iran and he got
the hell out of there and they were like they
wanted him dead.

Speaker 1 (51:41):
Yeah, well that was you know, that was that was
what happened when they transitioned into the hell hole they
are now.

Speaker 2 (51:48):
That's why again.

Speaker 1 (51:49):
There's a millions, the millions and millions and millions of
Iranians who don't live in Iran, or his parents left Iran,
So I'm not surprised. But if that that was when
you could do it's like that though. Man, that was
the era of nothing was too far. So there's some
of the some of the best storylines of where we were,
the ones that just mirrored what was going on in

(52:11):
the news.

Speaker 4 (52:13):
Yeah, I know, you have like Vince McMahon apologizing for
it all. Please stop apologizing for it, because it was
an amazing era.

Speaker 1 (52:19):
It was again, and we talked about this, what they
did with Sergeant Slaughter.

Speaker 2 (52:26):
Would you think they would do that today?

Speaker 1 (52:29):
I don't think there's a chance, but that, you know,
that was the era they'd play off. And it wasn't
that long ago that they were trying to reintroduce some
Russian characters here about eight or nine years ago, kind
of under the same premise. For whatever reason, that just
kind of went away. Yeah, people are too sensitive and all,
by the way, the people who are too sensitive on
this stuff are also people who are not fans of wrestling.

(52:50):
Let's just be honest about that as well. Probably can't
stand it. See it is a you know, it's the
plebes and the Rubes and the pores and for them,
but boy boy, they want to have an opinion on it,
that's for sure. Speaking of opinions. Speaking of opinions, you
guys know what the nine nine to nine challenges. So

(53:10):
this is it's a social media thing, and I will
warn you it's it's it's a binge drinking thing. But
you would have these guys who would go to a
baseball game or a football game, but mostly it was baseball,
but they go to some sort of professional sporting event
or maybe a college one or whatever, but any place
they had concessions where they sold beer and hot dogs,

(53:31):
and so the challenge was you had to drink one
beer and eat one hot dog per inning. Hence nine
nine nine, so nine hot dogs, nine beers, nine innings.
And of course the viral nature of it captured the
attention of some of the marketing folks at aer Mark,
who is the company that you see doing concessions for
like damn near every stadium you go to, and the teams.

(53:55):
So they announced yesterday was opening day. They announced that
they several of the parks, including where the Mets play,
the Phillies, the Rockies, the Astros, and the Royals, would
be offering a new box for fifty five dollars called
the nine to nine to nine Challenge. So people were
super pumped until they got to the stadium and ordered

(54:17):
it yesterday, and then the photos started showing up. So
what happened is while they posted a picture of it,
initially going hey, here it is, and you see nine,
it's a box that has nine little cup holders, nine
cups in it, filled to the brim with beer and
nine hot dogs, and everything looks proportional until you order it,

(54:40):
because there was no frame of reference. And when you
got the box and opened it, you realized that the
glasses are three and a half ounce glasses, which there's
no what beer mug is a three and a half
ounce glass, and the hot dogs are miniature.

Speaker 2 (54:57):
So people were losing.

Speaker 1 (54:59):
Their crap over this, and and so you would get
nine glasses, and you would get a twenty one twenty
four ounce cores and you're like a tall boy can.
And then you would have to pour in the glasses.
The problem is you can't even fill the glasses up
two thirds of the way, and you don't have enough beer.

Speaker 4 (55:17):
I think a fourth of a beer per right, you
said three ounces.

Speaker 1 (55:21):
It's three and a half the glass a three and
a half ounces, three or three and a half or
four something like that. The point is you get it.
You have a twenty four ounce beer, which is how
they give you the beer. They don't individually fill the glasses.

Speaker 2 (55:31):
They're just a.

Speaker 1 (55:32):
Little plastic They look like those little uh those little
wines that you can buy at the gas station with
the little pull out basically pull off the top and
they're about that size. But you're just getting one tall
boy beer and nine miniature hot dogs for fifty five dollars.
Absolute scam, dude, absolute scam. So uh, if you're gonna

(55:54):
do it, if you want to do the proper nine
nine nine challenge, you're gonna have to order this stuff individually.

Speaker 2 (55:58):
And yeah, it's gonna cost you more, but.

Speaker 1 (56:01):
Way to irritate your fan base, Just act and act
in all scummy and scammy man.

Speaker 2 (56:08):
Uh yeah, look at all these photos. Yeah so and again.
Then you have to pour. You have to pour your
own beer.

Speaker 1 (56:15):
By the way, the Giants had it as part of
a promotional deal. Listen to this, this and this is
something that baseball is gonna have to figure out.

Speaker 2 (56:25):
So Ross, let's say that you and yeah, you and
the family.

Speaker 1 (56:29):
All right, I know you wouldn't take loft into a
baseball game right now, but let's say you and the
family wanted to go to a Giants game and you
would get two beers, two sodas, and four hot dogs.
Do you know what it costs over it a Giants game?
Four hundred and thirteen dollars for the food and the
tickets minimum minimum? So you're paying that kind of that

(56:51):
kind of jack only to get screwed by the cheapness
of the nine to nine to nine challenge. I'm sorry
I'm going off on this, but like, people are upset,
and I understood why. All right, is mister stagic ready
to upset people about their weekend?

Speaker 5 (57:06):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (57:06):
Man, If you just lock in whatever's happening today for
the foreseeable future, I think you'd be a hero.

Speaker 5 (57:11):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (57:12):
Yeah, not bad.

Speaker 5 (57:14):
Yeah, we're not going to do that.

Speaker 2 (57:16):
Not Nebraska putting four guys on the court bad.

Speaker 5 (57:19):
Yeah that was bad, wasn't it.

Speaker 2 (57:20):
Yeah?

Speaker 5 (57:20):
That was so great?

Speaker 10 (57:21):
And I thought I thought in the beginning they were
gonna get blowed out Iowa that is.

Speaker 5 (57:25):
I mean, yeah, Nebraska was hot and then.

Speaker 2 (57:28):
I'll beat you with four people.

Speaker 10 (57:31):
Yeah, but Jane, and now that's a big that's a big,
big ten matchup Illinois. That's gonna be That's a big game. Yeah, sir,
that is a big game, big game. But yeah, anyway,
you know, not terrible, not a bunch of rain coming.
The truth is then, you know, sometimes as meteorologists preach,
we need the rainfall, and we'll get some as we

(57:54):
hit through later today tonight. A lot of it's gonna
be before midnight, probably just after six or seven of
lots of sunshine, some clouds today in record territory in
the mid to upper eighties for your daytime highs. And
since I didn't prepare myself, talk amongst yourselves for a second,
uh a record for the try it is eighty six,

(58:14):
could get that for the triangle's eighty seven and we
could get there. I think pretty good chance we get
at least to eighty five to eighty seven degrees, So
maybe some records in the showers thundershowers with the cold
front come through tonight Tomorrow morning, you'll feel the difference
in the air mass with a little breeze around. I'm
gonna be the upper thirties to low forties Sunnay, mid
upper fifties in the afternoon. Coldest morning will be Sunday,

(58:38):
low to mid thirties, clear sky Sunday afternoon into the
mid sixties, back to the seventies and eighties next week,
and maybe even the middle eighties by mid week. So
maybe making that turn, we get these little cool shots
to come on in, and then we get a lot
more mild than we do get cold. Averagehigh this time
of year should be around sixty six sixty seven degrees,

(58:58):
So certainly seeing more or above normal temperatures in the
next seven days one, two, three, four, five, six, six
of them five five, five out of seven will be
above normal.

Speaker 5 (59:10):
Then we will see below normal.

Speaker 1 (59:11):
Yeah, okay, you see Speaking of the college basketball, you
see the garbage going down with NC State man the coach,
No I saw what so So if you don't know ls,
this guy the Will Wade who uh literally just quit
yesterday the NC State You only been here a year, right,
He was at LSU. He got run out of there

(59:32):
because he cheated, he did recruiting violations, and then State
hired him and he didn't even have the he didn't
even talk to anybody. He had, he dipped out, had
his agent send an email to the a D at
NC State, and then just hustled at the airport just
like Yeah, if we think the player portals badest coach stuff.

Speaker 2 (59:53):
Is awful, So.

Speaker 5 (59:55):
Goodbye. Huh.

Speaker 1 (59:57):
I will say this though, and this is why I
appreciate college sports man, because people sleuthed out. They're like, okay, well,
clearly the athletic director for LSU is going to bring
the plane up. So they've plocked and they figured out
the timing for everything, and then they went over to
the airport. Are you airport to General Aviation where the
private jets are in the middle of a workday. They

(01:00:17):
posted up out there just so they could scream, I
hope you choke on gumbo, you fat f.

Speaker 2 (01:00:22):
At wow filmed it? Yeah, man.

Speaker 1 (01:00:24):
They booed him and harassed him at the airport, and
I am here for it. So I am here for it.
I can't play any of the audio, but no, no,
that's commitment right there.

Speaker 5 (01:00:36):
Right right. Yeah, it's all right interesting.

Speaker 2 (01:00:39):
Yeah, So anyway, we'll talk in an hour.

Speaker 1 (01:00:42):
Okay, all right, there you go, raced agic from the
Weather Channel. All right, I got a couple couple of
things you got to talk about. I can't believe I'm
having to do another one of these stories. Are you
weirdos who want to hook up with horses? Why do
you go and hook up with other people's horses. I mean,
I don't want you to buy one and do it yourself,
but if you don't want to get caught. This is

(01:01:04):
we had this problem in Myrtle Beach. We have this
problem again. We'll get to it. Plus Pete Callender, he'll
join us coming up at eight oh five to talk
about the surrender of the GOP, which happened just after
midnight this morning. All right, so seven forty eight, hang
on Europe man, just the cautionary tale that is Europe.

(01:01:24):
The Finnish Supreme Court has upheld a hate crime conviction
of a bishop. The guy is a Lutheran bishop. I'm
not even gonna attempt to pronounce his name, but all right.

Speaker 2 (01:01:38):
So what horrible, horrible thing was this.

Speaker 1 (01:01:41):
Individual convicted of? All right, yeah, well there's two of
them actually. So you had a guy who is a
member of the Finnish Parliament, his name is pave Rasanan
and then you have this Lutheran bishop, Juanna Poorgola. So

(01:02:01):
the politician referenced a publication that the bishop had published
twenty years ago, and it was on the issue of
men and women, right, And it was basically the pamphlet
entitled male and Female. He created them and remember this
was two thousand and four when this thing was published,

(01:02:21):
was simply quoting scripture of the on the issue, right,
So that's what the pamphlet was.

Speaker 2 (01:02:27):
Here's what the good book.

Speaker 1 (01:02:28):
Says, you know, act accordingly and obviously it's from a
church perspective. So that very same pamphlet was referenced by
this lawmaker and that caused activist groups to demand something
be done. So of course the government stepped in and like, oh,
this is a hate crime, a hate crime for insulting
a group based on sexual orientation, for publishing a church

(01:02:51):
pamphlet over twenty years ago and then reference in as
part of the parliamentary procedure. And the court said, yeah,
that's totally a hate crime for putting out scriptures. I
don't know, man, I mean, nineteen eighty four ain't that
far off when you hear stuff like that. And I
don't know why they put don't put up why they
put up with this. I have a theory why they

(01:03:12):
put up with it ross It just popped in my head.
I think they put up with it because they're all
so they're dying, because none of them can figure out
how to put an air conditioner in their house, which
can be very distracting when you're hot, and so they're
just like, I don't know, maybe they're not plugged in
on this stuff. What was the actual penalty, Well, there's
a lot of penalties, by the way, if you have

(01:03:32):
a hate crime conviction in Finland, it actually limits things
that you can do. I don't know that there's jail
time necessarily. Yeah, yeah, there's no. It doesn't look like
there's jail time on this, but I think there was
a financial penalty there. It is, yeah, financial penalties, but

(01:03:53):
no jail time. But yeah, now you're you're convicted of
a hate crime there in the European Union. So that'll
follow you around for the rest of your days. With
our buddy, mister Pete Calender from down Charlotte Way middays
on WBT, what's going on, sir? I mean, like, what

(01:04:14):
is what the hell is going on? Is how I
should have worded that? Because I'm sure you were you
were you broadcast y'all are sick of it. I got
to tell you, man, I don't know why this isn't
a statewide story, or maybe more so for those of
you who don't know a Republican candidate for what is
a county commission in Mecklenburg, somebody shot at his house
and now the dudes dropped out of the race.

Speaker 7 (01:04:36):
Got moving, Yes, moving out of the county.

Speaker 1 (01:04:41):
I'm that sounds like a big deal. It sounds like
deep South nineteen fifties, right, nineteen sixties stuff, trying to
intimidate people who would have the audacity to vote or run.

Speaker 2 (01:04:54):
But it happened.

Speaker 1 (01:04:56):
Now is do we know a plan on solving this
or is this going to turn into the GOP headquarters
over in Hillsboro that they arsened and then never never
did anything about.

Speaker 7 (01:05:08):
Well, that's a good analogy. Yeah, probably probably not. They're
asking for still asking for help from the public in
identifying who it was that shot the house up in
a quote unquote targeted attack. Yeah, but yeah, but no,
they don't have any do we believe we don't have

(01:05:29):
any leads?

Speaker 1 (01:05:30):
I just I have to ask that because we've seen,
you know, how many hoaxes have we've seen? Is there
is I mean, is there any evidence that he had
his buddy do it? Because I saw, of course a
leftist on Twitter accusing him of that.

Speaker 2 (01:05:41):
But I haven't seen any evidence of that.

Speaker 7 (01:05:44):
No, there's no evidence that he did it himself. Right,
he was out in fact, like his kids were out
front playing in the yard, like a few minutes before
the shooting occurred, and he said, you know, the kids
don't feel safe, life, doesn't feel safe at the help
at the home anymore. And Huntersville Police Department has not

(01:06:05):
been able to find any suspects in the case. And
so he's like, yeah, we're moving out of the We're
moving out of the county. And so if he were
to win, he could not be a county commissioner for
that district one because he he won't live there anymore.
So they're moving.

Speaker 2 (01:06:23):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:06:23):
Well, and then the problem is if if it's you know,
as it appears to politically motivated. Now you've got a
group going, hey that worked that, right, Yeah, and then
they can gather together at the No King's rally this
weekend and share tips.

Speaker 7 (01:06:36):
I guess, yeah, I mean, and this is you know,
I went through yesterday morning. I was going through the
Mecklenburg Democrat Party website, you know, look for any kind
of press release that they may have put out. And
I know this may come as a shock. But no
they have not. Oh no, no, yeah, no, no press release, like, hey,

(01:06:59):
we condemned the political violence. This is unacceptable, just you know,
even something just boilerplate, you know. No, they they have
not issued any kind of statement. Maybe they tweeted it
or something to their I don't know, to their.

Speaker 2 (01:07:11):
Follow up, Pete, did you check blue Sky?

Speaker 7 (01:07:15):
Yeah maybe, yeah, I know I have not seen that.
I do not have an account on the Blue Sky.
But but yeah, like that's this is a problem. And
we've been documenting this for a long time that the
you know, the has a problem with political violence and
they are not dealing with it. And I mean, you

(01:07:36):
can go back to you know, Charlie Kirk, you can
go back to the the fiery but mostly peaceful protest.

Speaker 2 (01:07:42):
I'm sorry, I can't let you do that.

Speaker 1 (01:07:44):
I was reliably informed on Twitter Charlie Kirk was the Jews.

Speaker 7 (01:07:48):
Oh yes, sorry, right, we did solve that one. Even
though there's like a guy who's like a furry tranship
guy like but no, he yeah he did.

Speaker 2 (01:07:58):
They they will say that he was on it.

Speaker 1 (01:08:01):
I'm telling you, man, Like it's getting so bad now,
not just the Candaice Owen stuff, but like this.

Speaker 2 (01:08:07):
This.

Speaker 1 (01:08:08):
You saw the story of this Joe Kent guy who
was saying that he would testify if Tyler Robinson's lawyers
wanted him to.

Speaker 2 (01:08:15):
That's the guy he was accused of shooting Kirk. That's insane.
Five minutes ago.

Speaker 1 (01:08:19):
This guy was in charge of some pretty important stuff
as part of counter terrorism, and now I've watched him
do an interview after interview where he's all in on
all this is Israel conspiracy.

Speaker 2 (01:08:32):
Murdered Charlie Kirk, And it's just crazy.

Speaker 1 (01:08:34):
How many people are you wonder how many people are
still in government on that?

Speaker 7 (01:08:40):
Yeah? Yeah, no, this And we've talked about the quote
unquote woke right. You know, the the horseshoe right is
another term I like trans right because they identify as
the right, but they're actually not what you did like
trans right. Yeah, yeah, you know, it's a it's a

(01:09:00):
and you know, different people have different motivations, and I
cannot speak to their hearts as to you know, why
they're doing all of the things that they are doing,
whether it's you know, anti Semitism or if it's just
you know, I'm just criticizing Israel, like they claim that
they are not allowed to criticize Israel, but then spend
you know, one hundred and forty episodes of a podcast

(01:09:23):
talking about Israel. So it's like, I'm not really sure
that you're not being allowed to talk about Israel. But yeah,
this is They have the same sort of goal, which
is to fundamentally transform Western society in particular America, tear
down the institutions, and their tactics are very similar to

(01:09:43):
the quote woke left, and that's why they got the
name the woke right. Same tactics, same sort of goal
that they are shooting for, and they just pretend to
be you know, conservative quote unquote conservative, but they or anything.
But I mean the fact that you've got people in

(01:10:04):
the trans right that are saying we should vote for
the Democrats. You know, it's sort of like a black
pill kind of burn it all down, Uh, and then
you know from the ashes will emerge this you know,
really uber you know right wing project. Yeah. I don't
know if calling for the election of the people that

(01:10:24):
you claim to have been fighting for the last you know,
almost decade, I don't know if that actually achieves the
goal you think you're trying to achieve.

Speaker 2 (01:10:34):
Well, and excuse me, I think part of simple water here.

Speaker 7 (01:10:39):
Oh wow, what's happening?

Speaker 2 (01:10:41):
We got all choked up there all right?

Speaker 1 (01:10:43):
But also the mainstream Republicans are very uninspiring because as
we know, overnight snatching defeat from the.

Speaker 2 (01:10:51):
Jaws of victory.

Speaker 1 (01:10:53):
Yeah, basically caving on the additional funding for immigration enforcement,
which I don't know how as a as a society,
as a country to to not fund immigration enforcement? How
that how that's even possible because they're never going to
get a standalone bill on this. So the TSA, the
coast Guards, some other ports, the people do actually the

(01:11:15):
ports stuff that's in there from a border protection standpoint,
but they wouldn't fund any of the immigration stuff while
there is funding that already exists for ICE.

Speaker 2 (01:11:24):
Uh, clearly there.

Speaker 1 (01:11:25):
Is multiple components to our immigration enforcement strategy.

Speaker 2 (01:11:29):
Why did the GOP cave?

Speaker 1 (01:11:30):
I understand the polling wasn't good, and I think a
lot of it was due to the media there, But
how how are people supposed to be inspired that the
GOP on the largest and most important issue to voters
going into the presidential election last time around, where they've
essentially decided they're going to stop doing it.

Speaker 2 (01:11:49):
Really, like, make it make sense? To me, because these.

Speaker 1 (01:11:52):
Guys are gonna get murdered in the in the next
election with this doing this.

Speaker 7 (01:11:56):
Yeah yeah, well, I mean you're asking me to it
explain the mindset of like these squish Republicans and I
cannot do that. But on the you know, from a
pr standpoint, the TSA you know, funding problem wasn't getting fixed,
and like the Republicans from the very beginning, they could

(01:12:19):
have done a standalone TSA funding bill, and I said, like,
they should probably do that, just just fund the TSA,
just do a standalone bill. And Democrats proposed a you know,
standalone bill to do that, and Republicans were like, no, no, no,
you have to do all of dhs.

Speaker 1 (01:12:36):
Was it the stand alone? Was it a clean standalone
with that? I seem to think the Democrat thing had
another thing in it.

Speaker 7 (01:12:43):
They ran it multiple times, right, yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:12:45):
Okay, so maybe sometimes it did. Sometimes it didn't because
there was some other immigration stuff in there they wanted
to undo. And I can't remember which iteration, but you're right.
I'm sure at some point there was a clean bill
they chose not to do it, saying hey, you gotta
we gotta fund the coast Guard fun all this other stuff,
which I thought is a correct position.

Speaker 2 (01:13:04):
But yet here we are right.

Speaker 7 (01:13:06):
And the problem is is that you've got the pr
of it is so bad, right, And because the left
enjoys the protection of the legacy media, then you know,
their argument gets top billing. Their argument is treated as like, look,

(01:13:27):
you know, this is the right way forward, and we're
just asking for quote reforms, which is basically to defund
and abolish ICE, right, I mean, that's right at the
heart of what they are pushing is the abolition of
any kind of immigration enforcement in the interior right of America.
And they don't they're never called to account for what

(01:13:48):
it is that they're actually trying to do. So they
just get this like, we're trying to you know, we're
just trying to fund TSA. And so from a from
a pr standpoint, yeah, the Republicans were not on the
win side of that. And look, honestly, you've got thousands
and thousands of TSA officers that have been going to
work and not getting paid now for you know, forty

(01:14:09):
plus days, and like that's like that's unconscionable. Like how
does a conservative say, like you should go to work
and not be paid for your your your time. You know,
you should not be able to be working for free
the government. Like to me, it's an example of we
need to move TSA out of DHS, maybe put it

(01:14:33):
in Transportation department or something, or privatize security again, go
back to the old model, because this cannot keep happening.
You know, the TSA is now become embedded in our
travel and so we cannot leave it up to the
whims of Congress to you know, shut it down and

(01:14:54):
force people not to get paid for you know, a
month and a half like that. It's ridiculous, but nobody's
the game that Democrats played. Yeah, I mean more.

Speaker 1 (01:15:05):
Than that, because this is not the first shutdown in
twelve calendar months.

Speaker 2 (01:15:09):
This is what's so crazy. This used to be a
timid thing.

Speaker 1 (01:15:12):
You plot it out, you plan it, we're going to
shut it down, and you had an exit strategy basically,
but you would agree that the overwhelming strategy as it
pertains to what whatever minutes Trump has left in his term,
is delay, right, delay, delay, right, oh right, So if
that's your overarching strategy and now you've just you've literally

(01:15:33):
shut down the government multiple times in the last twelve months,
I feel like demos, they're going to keep doing it
until until he's out of office, and what fresh hell
is this going to be if we're doing this every
three months or whatever.

Speaker 7 (01:15:47):
Well, this is why I was talking about this yesterday
on the show, which is that you know, Republicans can
win an election, but they are never permitted to govern.
And that seems to be the like, that's the strategy
behind all of the shutdowns, behind the quote resistance inside

(01:16:07):
of the bureaucracy. We're gonna gum up the works. We're
going to file a bunch of lawsuits, and so you
may win this election, but you will never be able
to actually govern. So you can make all the promises
you want. Voters can say, yes, we want this in place,
but once you take control of the government, we will
do everything in our power to stop you from doing

(01:16:28):
the things that you campaigned on. So you can win
the election, but you can never govern. And then you
layer in what we were talking about moments ago of
the political violence, and the signals are quite clear to
basically half of the country that you are not permitted
to participate in the dare I say democracy, You're not

(01:16:51):
allowed to participate in the democracy even if you get
enough votes, you will not be able to implement the
changes that you that you ran on, that you campaigned on,
because you know, we are in control of these bureaucratic
positions and we will stop you from from implementing your
your campaign promises.

Speaker 1 (01:17:12):
Yeah me, let me hit a couple and you kind
of brought up a voter ID there, so we'll touch
on that. Not racist, I'm not, I'm okay, our eyes
want to make sure. I mean, I had this theory
when we first started arguing, is that they might be
targeting based on voting patterns like the right left, and
then of course William Barber said that was not the case.

(01:17:35):
And we've been in a freshel for ten years on
this now. But apparently not racist, Okay.

Speaker 7 (01:17:41):
Yeah, yeah, so a US District Judge Loretta Biggs, I believe, Yeah,
it said photo I D is Okay, it's all right,
weird and so weird, so weird. Yeah, Like this was
a case I think it started in like well we

(01:18:01):
I mean, I don't even know how many times we've
tried the photo ID. It's been over like we've been
in litigation over this for over a decade now in
North Carolina And what's amazing is like we are one
of the most permissive states in the voter I D realm,
Like the things that we accept in North Carolina for

(01:18:21):
identification purposes is way more permissive than like any other state.
And we still got sued, which you know, raises this
question of whether or not Democrats will ever allow any
voter I D. In fact, I think was it yesterday
or day before up in Congress there was an amendment
to just do the voter ID portion of the Save Act,

(01:18:45):
and Democrats still voted that down. But they claim, oh, no,
we don't we're not opposed to you know, voter i D.
Chuck Schumer was out there I think and saying, you know,
saying like, oh, we don't oppose it in principle, Yeah,
but you do. Actually, like every single dation of a
photo ID law, you guys sue over, you block it,
you have judges that throw it out and try to

(01:19:07):
issue injunctions against it. Yet it's wildly popular, you know,
So you claim not to be opposed to it, but
you oppose it all the time. So why do you
do that? Is there any form of voter idea that
you're okay with? And even when you do the most
permissive structure, as North Carolina did, you still get sued

(01:19:29):
over it. So no, I don't believe Democrats when they
say that they are that they're okay with the concept,
because any iteration of it they oppose. So I don't
believe them. It's sort of like what we're seeing in
Virginia with the redistricting, the gerrymandering. You know, they're not
even allowing voters to see the map. Did you know that?
But they yeah, they sent out they sent out a

(01:19:52):
directive to all of the polling places as the state
of Virginia says, you know, hey, we need to suspend
our constitution in order to do this gerrymandered map. And
they're like, hey, can we post the maps for voters
to see when they go to vote? And they're like, no,
you can't, you can't look at the map.

Speaker 1 (01:20:08):
Well let me just cause I got fifteen seconds. Also,
the fact that Dems have spent twelve million and the
GOP's only spent one million fighting this thing, I don't
get it. All right, we gotta leave it there, my friend,
but we can chat next week. All but we be
right back at this show for a little while, you know.
And by the way, I think I'm gonna stop referring
to it as a theory because I think that there's

(01:20:30):
enough evidence now it's confirmed.

Speaker 2 (01:20:34):
We have pointed out.

Speaker 1 (01:20:35):
Over the years there have been many, many, many instances
where somebody decides they're gonna, you know, scream the ala
ac bar or whatever, and then after the incident, usually
after they're dead, right, we start to see these stories
come out where they're like, so we searched their social
media and they were super duper gay, right, And then

(01:20:58):
our theory was that they were doing that to dissuade
others who might make that decision because of the stigma
within you know, clearly the the Islamist mindset there. But
it just kept happening and happening. Guy down in Florida
at the nightclub up, super gay. Guy in France during
the Christmas parade there, super gay and also pedophile. I

(01:21:23):
think they threw that in as a bonus. We've had
a bunch of these man and so we've just theorized
that it's like a CIA syop thing. So imagine my
surprise yesterday when Trump starts talking about the new Supreme
Leader and I am a hundred one hundred percent convinced.

Speaker 2 (01:21:43):
Here's the audio.

Speaker 11 (01:21:44):
You kind of suggested that we knocked out Iotola Junior?

Speaker 2 (01:21:48):
Have we?

Speaker 10 (01:21:49):
And did the CIA tell you that Iotola Junior's gay?

Speaker 12 (01:21:55):
Well, they did say that, but I don't know if
it was only them. I think a lot of people
are saying that, which puts them off to a bad
start in that particular country. You know, I sort of
have to smile to myself when I say, I see
people trying to defend the Palestinian regime for women, women
for Palestine, but they kill women. If you don't wear

(01:22:18):
a certain group of if you don't wear certain cloth
all over your face, you have no chance of living.
And you know when I look at gays for Palestine,
but they kill gays, They kill them instantly, they throw
them up buildings. And I'm saying, who are the gays
for Palasin? And they have a significant amount of gays
for Pelisin. Now I think when you know, I did

(01:22:39):
very well with the gay vote. Okay, I even had
I even played the gay national anthem as my walk off, okay,
and I think it probably helped me. But I did
great with no Republicans ever gotten the gay voat like
I did, and I'm very proud of it. I think
it's great. Perhaps it's because I'm from New York City.
I don't know, but the gay national Anthem was my

(01:23:01):
walk off, and I think it probably but think of
it gays for Palistine, but they kill gays in Palistine.
So when they hear that, I think probably we can
talk about it. But it shouldn't be.

Speaker 1 (01:23:11):
Too hard, all right, all right, all right, so ross
theory or now proven.

Speaker 4 (01:23:17):
If I'm gonna go with proven. You know, it's absolutely confirmed,
absolutely confirmed.

Speaker 2 (01:23:24):
This is it's a thing.

Speaker 1 (01:23:25):
It's honestly, I think it's kind of a funny thing too,
because it's so predictable, like I just set the clock
weight and it'll be there within a couple of days.

Speaker 4 (01:23:33):
Man, you take like the first ten seconds of what
Trump said there. He said, you know, I don't know
if it's true, but everybody's saying it, and if it
is true, it's gonna make his life a lot harder.

Speaker 7 (01:23:41):
There.

Speaker 2 (01:23:41):
Yeah, I mean they played just that point.

Speaker 10 (01:23:43):
Did the CIA tell you that Ayatola Junior's gay?

Speaker 12 (01:23:48):
Well they did say that, but I don't know if
it was only them. I think a lot of people
are saying that, which puts them off to a bad
start in that particular country.

Speaker 1 (01:23:56):
You know, I mean that would be true. I don't
I don't know how you can push back on that,
but yeah, man, it's it's it's one hundred percent confirmed.

Speaker 2 (01:24:07):
One percent.

Speaker 1 (01:24:08):
All right, let me hit you with a couple other things.
By the way, Ross, would you google and see when
pop tarts were first sold? I was gonna, I was
gonna do that for I went into this. Then I
just forgotten what year did they introduce pop tarts because
they've been around forever. However, I don't know why the
folks make pop tarts are just figured out that maybe

(01:24:30):
people would be interested in double stuff pop tarts, although
they're not double stuff, they're super stuffed.

Speaker 2 (01:24:36):
Fifty percent more filling.

Speaker 4 (01:24:38):
Pop tarts came out in nineteen sixty four.

Speaker 1 (01:24:41):
Okay, So so with sixty some years of pop tarts
and nobody thought, hey, what if we put more of
the thing people really like in there and sell it
at an up charge.

Speaker 2 (01:24:52):
Clearly nobody thought to do that this whole time.

Speaker 1 (01:24:57):
I feel like double stuffed oreos have been around since
I was a kid. I feel like that, you know,
so like the concept of how you do this is there.
But anyway, so pop Tarts says they're going to do
super stuff pop tarts. Now I have a question because
I got called a weirdo yesterday. I don't really like sweets.

Speaker 7 (01:25:15):
Now.

Speaker 1 (01:25:15):
When I was a kid, we have pop tarts. We
get the big one, like the big thing at pop
Tarts you get at the club store too.

Speaker 2 (01:25:23):
And so they were. They were a very popular breakfast option.

Speaker 1 (01:25:27):
Was I the only kid who would dip his pop
tart in jelly, thus creating the thing that is now
they're going to be marketing because like, we did that,
and then I mentioned on Twitter yesterday that we did
that and people are.

Speaker 4 (01:25:40):
Like, okay, so here's the thing. And I only know
this because my my father in law is a big
pop tart fan, but only a specific kind that they
don't sell anymore, that they can't find, and they're great
pop tarts, grape. If you talk to him about pop tarts,
if somehow it comes up, he will go on and
on and on and on about finding great pop tarts.

(01:26:00):
And I guess you can find them, they're just rare.
But the way he describes it is it's like jelly
that's what it tastes like jelly?

Speaker 1 (01:26:07):
Yeah, yeah, I think the strawberry jelly like that. I
remember the grape that dude too, and those were very popular,
I think. But we usually have the strawberry ones. But
I remember having the grape ones, and then we would
have there would be strawberry jelly, so like you could
do this yourself and then you just dip it in there.
I also you could also dip peanut butter. My sister
preferred the peanut butter. But like people are like, you

(01:26:30):
can't dip pop tarts, Like what are you talking about?
You can dip anything, But that actually makes sense.

Speaker 4 (01:26:36):
We used to have tons of pop tarts as a kid.
It was kind of like a go to, always go
with the chocolate. I always wanted the toastertroodles. I was
just gonna no it was I could. I was not
even allowed to look at the toaster strudles when we
went to the grocery stores, Like that's like rich people food.
Don't even look at Yeah, don't even think about it.

Speaker 2 (01:26:56):
You ever had the yeah, the generic pop tarts?

Speaker 4 (01:26:59):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (01:27:00):
Yeah, the ones? Oh man, you had to dip those.

Speaker 1 (01:27:03):
You had to dip it in some other jelly but yeah,
so now there's gonna have the double stuffed one, so
you're good to go. There was what was the other
was one other toaster thing, you know, trying to remember
toaster strool clearly remember that pop tarts, of course, but man,
there was a third one.

Speaker 2 (01:27:19):
I don't think they sell it anymore. Maybe you know
what it was.

Speaker 1 (01:27:25):
I think it was a play on hot I think
hot Pockets might have tried to do something for a while.

Speaker 4 (01:27:29):
They did the breakfast stuff.

Speaker 1 (01:27:30):
Yeah, yeah, but that you could put in the toaster,
right yep, Okay, all right, I'm not crazy. We would
get those two. Those are pretty good. Those are pretty good.
But yeah, no, toaster strudle is superior to the pop
tarts because it's got the frosting, uh you know, the
you had.

Speaker 2 (01:27:47):
To squeeze, squeeze yourself on there.

Speaker 1 (01:27:49):
But yeah, so now you can just you can get
the extra stuffed strawberry Blast pop tarts. Actually it's gonna
come in three flavors, the super size stuff, strawberry Blast.

Speaker 2 (01:28:02):
Molten lava cake.

Speaker 1 (01:28:04):
See, I I don't know nothing about pop tarts now
because I just I don't eat sweets a lot. Super stuff, cinnamon, caramel. Okay,
so those be uh is race stage it?

Speaker 7 (01:28:15):
Dere?

Speaker 1 (01:28:15):
I can see if I can tempt him with these
piece of pop tart. Guy, he may not be there yet.

Speaker 2 (01:28:19):
I'm a little early.

Speaker 1 (01:28:20):
Okay, boy, he better choose wisely between the tarts and
the strudle, especially on a Friday. Won't be able to
redeem himself till next week one of these hits stores.

Speaker 2 (01:28:32):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:28:32):
I know this isn't the most important news story, but
somebody's digging it.

Speaker 2 (01:28:36):
Okay. I guess they're they're they're on their way to stores.

Speaker 7 (01:28:39):
Now.

Speaker 2 (01:28:39):
Maybe they're already there. I had I haven't been shopping
for a minute.

Speaker 1 (01:28:42):
So I don't know if they're available yet, but they
soon will be. Let's see up charge there, I doesn't
say in the story. All right eight eight eight nine
three four seven eight seven four is he there? All right,
let's get a race stage kind of this very important conversation.
So pop Hearts has announced they're gonna basically create super

(01:29:02):
stuffed pop tarts, which I.

Speaker 2 (01:29:04):
Don't know how.

Speaker 1 (01:29:04):
You've been around since the sixties and nobody thought to
do this because like double stuffed oreos have been around forever. Yeah,
but now they're gonna They're gonna throw extra in there.
But when I was a kid is when I we
would eat you know, we'd have pop tarts in the morning,
and in my family, we dipped.

Speaker 2 (01:29:20):
The pop tarts. Oh you did?

Speaker 5 (01:29:23):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (01:29:23):
And I posted that yesterday with this story on Twitter,
and everyone acted like I just I don't know, murdered somebody,
Like yeah, so you get the if you got the
strawberry pop tarts or the great Ones or whatever, you
could dip it in like preserves, you know, jam, or.

Speaker 2 (01:29:38):
You dip it in peanut butter too, Why not? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Well let me peel back a layer two years ago.
I just want I want a royalty, So.

Speaker 5 (01:29:49):
Well, let me let me peel back a layer two
of this onion.

Speaker 10 (01:29:51):
Because first of all, if I ended up with pop
tarts or any kind of sweetened cereal in our house,
it was a treat.

Speaker 5 (01:30:01):
I mean, it wasn't like a daily It was like.

Speaker 10 (01:30:03):
Whoa dad bought pop tarts or wow, mom allowed pop tarts.

Speaker 1 (01:30:07):
It was one of a few sugary things my mom
would let us eat with reckless abandoned right, And I
think it's just because she didn't want to screw with
breakfast in the morning.

Speaker 2 (01:30:14):
With four kids.

Speaker 10 (01:30:16):
Yeah, so there was that that I always used to peel,
like the edges off and just eat like the the
sugar coat and the inside, like to peel the almost
what do you call them?

Speaker 2 (01:30:25):
Do you call it the crust of a pop tart?

Speaker 5 (01:30:28):
Do we call it the crust? Let's call it the crust?

Speaker 2 (01:30:31):
Well, let me let me ask you the important question.
Pop tart or toaster strudle?

Speaker 5 (01:30:36):
Pop tart?

Speaker 2 (01:30:39):
Yeah? Do your weather all right?

Speaker 10 (01:30:44):
Well, it's not terrible this morning. It's gonna change quite
a bit temperature wise, maybe in record territory this afternoon,
and then we'll cool off for the weekend. Not bad,
I think, sunshine, a few clouds, mid upper eighties today,
and then tonight the showers, thunder showers of cominio. It'll
probably be done after midnight, just after midnight, and tomorrow

(01:31:05):
morning's gonna have a lot different feel. Upper thirties to
low forties across western, central eastern North Carolina, so everybody's
cooling down. And then for Saturday, mid upper fifties with
a gusty breeze, so they'll be a little chill in
the air tomorrow, and then the coldest morning is gonna
be Sunday morning, clear, low to mid thirties, mid sixties
in the afternoon though, and then we're quickly back into

(01:31:26):
the seventies and eighties as we get into next week.
Next chance of rain isn't until late weeks, so as
we get into April.

Speaker 5 (01:31:32):
Maybe a little bit of.

Speaker 10 (01:31:33):
A pattern change or some guide in suggesting by Thursday
and Friday.

Speaker 5 (01:31:38):
And even on into maybe the beginning of the weekend
next weekend.

Speaker 10 (01:31:41):
And we've got some wet weather and we need it
to got some very dry conditions across the southeast, so
rain needed in many parts of the southeastern US.

Speaker 1 (01:31:50):
Okay, all right, hey you sir, have a good weekend.
Reflect on your breakfast choices. Okay, okay, Yeah, we'll talk
Monday and we will be right back with Bloomberg News
East pGreen.

Speaker 2 (01:32:00):
What's happened in Denise?

Speaker 11 (01:32:02):
Yeah, we have a big deal brewing in the alcohol industry.
Casey Paris based Perno Ricard, the maker of Jamison, Irish
whisky and a whole bunch of other brands, is exploring
a potential acquisition of Brown Foreman, which of course is
the owner of Jack Daniels whiskey. That's all is alcoholic
drinking companies look at ways to consolidate amid what's really

(01:32:22):
been an industry turnaround. They've had some initial discussions with
Louisville based Brown Foreman about a potential combination. The transaction
has a significant stock component, the families likely to roll
out large steaks into the new company as they continue
their ownership. All this as cannabis popularity sort of eats

(01:32:44):
away at the popularity of alcohol. Bill Gates Advisor served
as a conduit, apparently to the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
Emails suggests co founder Bill Gates of Microsoft Key Science
advisor Boris Nikolik acted as a proxy and coordinated meetups
between Gates and the late sex offender. Gates says he

(01:33:05):
never went to Epstein's Island email show. Nikolk tried repeatedly
to lure him there, but unsuccessfully. If you have a
copy of George magazine, you could be sitting on a
pile of cash check your closet because the magazine, founded
by JFK. Junior, folded in the nineties, but back issues
are now selling for hundreds of dollars on ebays. That's

(01:33:26):
thanks to renewed interest in the Kennedys anks, in part,
probably to that new TV series Love Story about Kennedy's
romance with the beautiful Carolyn Bissett. Down beat tone in
the early going on Wall Street Stocksville yesterday, pushing the
Nasdaq into correction. Territory Casey more than ten percent to
cline from the previous peak in October, as crude oil

(01:33:47):
futures rise again today, igniting new inflation concerns. Of course,
it's all because the war is continuing in the Middle East,
and McCory group says crude oil prices could nearly double
from here if the iron wore drags on till June.
What is the name of the new Jeopardy spinoff? Answer?
Jeopardy YouTube edition starts on Tuesday. Contestants Casey will compete

(01:34:08):
for their favorite charity and forget about the usual questions
about British literature or medieval history clues. In this new
spinoff on YouTube, starring Ken Jennings as well well, they'll
focus on Internet culture. So that's going to get our
you know, designed to garner a lot of attention among
young people who already love Jeopardy.

Speaker 1 (01:34:27):
Apparently, I think the trivial pursuit did that remember back
in the day, although it wasn't a digital thing, but
they made one that was like pop culture.

Speaker 2 (01:34:37):
I want to say that we had that in the house.

Speaker 11 (01:34:40):
This is like internet culture. So that's kind of interesting too,
like you know some of that California vibe, maybe Beyer,
you know who started atari that kind of stuff.

Speaker 2 (01:34:53):
Okay, but here's the deal.

Speaker 1 (01:34:55):
I also want a version, So let's do a third
version where the only contestants are allowed to be the
idiot's ring breakers. I keep seeing getting interviewed who don't
know anything.

Speaker 2 (01:35:05):
You're not talking.

Speaker 11 (01:35:05):
That's that sounds just like celebrity Jeopardy.

Speaker 4 (01:35:08):
I don't know.

Speaker 11 (01:35:10):
What is what is on the spectrum between the color
blue and the color and they're like, oh.

Speaker 1 (01:35:16):
Yeah, definitely they did a thing. None of them knew
what an ayotola was. They thought it was a band, so.

Speaker 11 (01:35:24):
Uh you ae is uh emirads right.

Speaker 1 (01:35:29):
Yeah, it was a disaster, but hey, you know everyone
everyone looked good.

Speaker 2 (01:35:33):
They were having a good time.

Speaker 1 (01:35:34):
And I don't know, maybe it's unfair to expect twenty
year olds drunk on the beach to answer trivia.

Speaker 11 (01:35:38):
So I do, but it's fun. I love any kind
of jeopardy.

Speaker 1 (01:35:43):
Okay, all right, hey Denise, I appreciate it. Have yourself
a wonderful weekday.

Speaker 11 (01:35:48):
Can try bingo at Applebee's.

Speaker 1 (01:35:51):
No, no, I went to a bengo at this one
with my grandmother one time where the little old ladies
from their church went to bengo and I won twice, right,
and like some of the old ladies were side eyeing.

Speaker 11 (01:36:04):
Me, so they thought you cheated.

Speaker 1 (01:36:07):
Yeah, it was this a little punk all right, I appreciated,
Thank you, Denise, have a good one. They go, Denise Pelgreney,
Bloomberg News Ross tell me if this sounds like a
good idea. Detroit is getting set to host giant robot.

Speaker 2 (01:36:22):
Battles as part of some event there. How big are
these things?

Speaker 1 (01:36:28):
Nine feet tall? And then they're gonna fight each other.
This has been done in Detroit, hasn't it. I feel
like it was done on multiple separate occasions.

Speaker 7 (01:36:38):
Now.

Speaker 1 (01:36:39):
The difference is there's people inside these suits. They're just
they're dressed as robots, but they also create weapons. They're
wearing kevlar like it's a combat league. Man suits of
steel shoot exploding projectiles. I mean, if this is one
part awesome, two parts The RoboCop plot so I we'll see,

(01:37:03):
we'll see, but yeah, man, it is this crazy looking
at this thing. Giant robot wars battle it out in
Detroit's Robo War. Uh, but they don't reference RoboCop. I
feel like that's the premise for this, but then they
never mention it.
