Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Not just any Friday, but a pretty good one, in fact,
the goodest of them. It's good Friday because the Easter
Sunday you heathen, so your kids know because there's probably uh,
you know, candy in the works there. Uh I was,
I was speaking of kids. I always remember, as a kid,

(00:20):
like one of the things where they're like, all right,
it's good Friday. And then you get some concept of
like you know, the whole chain of events that lead there,
and you're like that's a good Friday. Like that's not good, right,
and then like you know, it has they have to
explain it to you because you're a kid, and that's
how you process things. Because for a while, I'm just
like all Fridays are good. Ross you're a fan of

(00:42):
Fridays just in general, right, most people.

Speaker 2 (00:44):
Are, yeah, no a big fan.

Speaker 1 (00:46):
Yeah yeah, So like, oh, well, what's so good about
this one? And then but but remember this is the
same team that just one of all of humanity earlier
brought you the banger known as the Sabbath. Right, you
have high hopes like, ah, you know that was pretty good.
I could stop having to carry pyramid stones or whatever

(01:08):
I was doing on you know, seven days a week
at least for one day, tell me more, and then
boom eventually the weekend. I don't think that's exactly how
it happened, but okay, because again you're a kid trying
to make sense of this thing. And I literally thought,
I'm I literally thought that for a while we just

(01:29):
had one day off at the end of the week,
and then this is how we ended up with two
even though it's kind of not really the thing there,
but in a way, all right, Democrats will say unions
did it. Eight year old me thinks Jesus did it,
So who's wrong? I don't know. I'll let you make

(01:51):
up your mind, but that will mean a slight little change.
Race Stagic too good to be with us, Jeff Bellinger.
There's no markets open, so we can't even ask him
our awkward question of the day, so we got that
going for us anyway. Otherwise, good morning, and probably look

(02:11):
elsewhere for why it's called good Friday, because I don't
I don't think I'm one hundred percent accurate there, but
it is funny what we believe is as kids, man,
and I think I probably there was prompting from an
older cousin on that because he used to like to
steer me into things he knew what irritate my parents later,
which I can totally appreciate. All right, eight eight eight

(02:34):
nine three four seven eight seven four. What is this? What?
You're not here? You're not here on Monday? Ross? Is that?
Oh that's just Boston, Paul? Why Boston, Paul? Why do
you get to litter my email? Monday is Dingus Day,
the largest celebration in Buffalo. What is that is? What

(02:57):
is this thing? This Dingus Day in Buffalo? Ross is
from Buffalo? All right, I'm not you know what. I'm
not even gonna look that up because we're here today
and we'll be here Monday. I'll tell you when we
won't be here, just for your future planning events for
you know stuff people like you have those like the

(03:18):
big calendar or whatever. We're not gonna be here Cinco
to my or excuse me, yes, Cinco de Mayo and
then the whole week. But don't read anything into that.
It's it was pre planned, so okay, all right, which
means we're just gonna have to slog through today and
we'll get you. We'll get you into the weekend, and

(03:39):
Jeff Maher will be filling in for race, so well,
we'll be able to get you some weather for the
weekend and that is what's important. All right, coming up
on the show, we're doing the Mineral the Mineral deal again.
That's apparently back on, so that's good. We've got a
school choice update from Well, I would argue one of

(04:01):
the very important states, you know, for the second most
students of any state in all of America. And it's
weird because I've been told the last few election cycles
they were flipping this state purple and then blue and
it just keeps reddening. So that's really weird. And uh

(04:23):
we will, uh we will get into that because some
of the Democrats down in Texas are not doing so well,
and uh, I want to play their audio because that's
how we roll. And uh one of my favorite stories
in a while, one of my sports stories in a while, Ross,

(04:44):
were you inspired when you uh we were putting the
prep together yesterday and you put this inspiring football story
together of people sitting down and reading the x's and
o's and trying to figure out how to best put
their football club into uh into uh a successful model.

Speaker 2 (05:01):
You know, it's interesting to read how like people try
to innovate their sport. Uh huh, you know, and try
to take it a step further. And it's what whatever
you're gonna do to win.

Speaker 1 (05:09):
And then what do people around them who then lose
because they're not innovating do uh? They hate? Yeah, they hate.
They try to like what they're doing with Philly with
the tush push like we got outlaw that well, we
had we had one outside the box thinker and the
description to something else one outside the box thinker. You know,

(05:32):
leave it all out on the field, so to speak, ideologically,
and unfortunately, some some some you know, you know, you
surround yourself with people that are kind of negative, right,
like you have a vision, you have an idea, and
they're just like, I don't think we should do that.
What if it doesn't work? Manh Yeah, that nobody nobody
achieved anything with that attitude. You had to go out,

(05:54):
you had to be you had to break barriers, man.
And honestly, if they'd implemented this thing that I'm gonna
tell you about, I don't know, even probably as as
recently as like the eighties, uh, it probably wouldn't go
anywhere because it would then just become part of the game.
But you can't have football without the tossing of and

(06:18):
you'll learn what it is. But no, no, we're we're
so deep into this thing. We've gotten so pc on
other stuff. I don't know that they'll ever get around
to it. And in a way, it's you know what
it is. It's it's like what Peter Dinklage did to
all those actors just wanted to just wanted to eat,

(06:39):
want to survive in Hollywood, and he got his bag,
and now nobody gets any of theirs. Well what about
the what about the folks who can't act, who are
also the height of Peter dinklish? How does that work?
You can't act? There's only so many times you can
be like a nonverbal you know, uh, skipping down the

(07:01):
yellow brick road cast member or you know, whatever the
production is. We have kind of a cattle call for
a bunch of little people. No no, And there was
a guy, not a little person himself, who was willing
to innovate on their behalf. And now people are hating
and it's not okay. So uh well we'll throw that

(07:22):
out there. Uh and uh much more, let me do this.
We'll go ahead and hit the Brake and uh, we'll
come back, got lots of audio for you, Pete calendar.
He'll join us at eight o five and uh well,
t he's like his jihad right now is that they're
uh calling the women astronauts. That's like his hill to

(07:45):
die on. He won't go there. So uh yeah, good man,
we'll get into that.

Speaker 2 (07:49):
That's a good fight to have.

Speaker 1 (07:51):
Yeah, well, you gotta pick you know, you gotta stand
for something or nothing at all. Right, somebody said that
sometimes one time, although Gale King's not happy about that.
In fact, Ross, she is squarely mad on I believe
how you characterized in So we'll see if Ross wants

(08:11):
to apologize to Gaio King. I wouldn't hold my breath though. Okay,
all right, so all that more coming up kc O
Day Radio program. Let me start here though, since it
is Friday, pooh. You know, it's one of these things
too where I'm like, yeah, I'm sure a lot of
people have probably thought of it, but the fact that

(08:32):
it is it has become legend enough since his passing.
This is a former Texas tech head coach, Mike Leach,
who was quite a character man, and there was always
a rumor floating around, And in this instance, it became
more than a rumor because there were now multiple people

(08:54):
willing to talk about this because you can't cancel him
because he died two years ago. Okay, but it's gonna
make a lot of sense when I lay out what's
going on here. And I don't like the way the headlines.
I'll read you the headline, which would give it away,
but I don't like the way that it's worded, like
who is what's up with the supporting staff? All?

Speaker 3 (09:14):
Right?

Speaker 1 (09:14):
Here we go. Mike Leach, former Texas Tech Red Raider
head football coach and several other programs, pretty legendary career,
allegedly once had to be talked out of putting a
little person in the backfield so that they could throw
them over the line of scrimmage in short yard situations.

(09:37):
Why are you talking them out of that? Would? I mean?
And by the way, the description of it is the
stuff of nightmares or Super Bowl ring acquisitions, right, because
I know what you're thinking. You're like, Oh, it's just
like this, give them a little boost, right. You get

(09:58):
a full back behind the running back, and then the
running backs the little person, and then the full back
of the quarterback, just like no, no, no, no, no, no
no this I want you to understand how highly specialized
and how game planned. Mike Leach put this out because
he realized that would not be the most advantageous situation
because you would not have maximum velocity. So what Mike

(10:21):
Leach allegedly proposed was was described best as a helicopter toss.
And then I had to read into that. So you know,
the another track and field guy, ROSSI ran track and field.
What's the event with the ball on a chain and
you spin around and there's the hammer throw? Right? Well?

(10:44):
The hammer throw?

Speaker 2 (10:45):
Yeah, well, first off, I wasn't in track and field.

Speaker 1 (10:47):
I was.

Speaker 2 (10:47):
Well, I forced myself to do cross country for one
season and it was a complete nightmare and never again.
So yeah, but I believe it's the hammer throw.

Speaker 1 (10:56):
Okay, the hammer throw? All right, So understanding, if you've
ever watched the hammer throw, you have to you get
your momentum up right and what you got to swing
the I don't remember exactly how many times you swing
the thing around. But then only once you've achieved that
maximum outward velocity, then your skill set kicks in because

(11:18):
you have to also be able to release it in
a line that's going to be you know, within bounds,
so to speak for you, or at least in the
direction you're wanting to throw it. So it's like not
just any jibbroni off the street can do it. So
much like like an NFL long snapper, there's going to

(11:39):
be an extra skill set that one has to develop.
And in case people think it's just an end around
on you know, the rest of the football operation, I
would point out that you're gonna need an immense amount
of blocking right so that you have time to make
the rotations with your short yardage play backfield player specialist

(12:02):
so that you can achieve maximum velocity because if not,
then why are you even doing it? And if you
don't get him high enough at at the correct launch angle,
And by the way, I'm sitting here and I'm saying him,
what a wonderful opportunity for all of you who wanted
to see women in the NFL, right, because at that point,

(12:23):
it's just it's really about who's light enough to uh
to toss for mashimum amount of yardage. And apparently his
staff talked him out of it, but I don't know,
smells like a loophole to me. Smells like a loophole
to me. It gets that builds the ring ross you arguing, no,
not at all.

Speaker 2 (12:43):
Yeah, So you'd have to do like the Texas Tornado
to refer to the wrestling as we always do, like
the wind up before the puncher before the throw.

Speaker 1 (12:51):
Correct. Yeah, And you're gonna need you're gonna need your
blockers to allow you an opportunity to do that. So
like nobody's in on this play, everybody's in. And and
like I said, if you don't get the proper launch angle,
you get some rookie in there. All they do is
they sling your your running back or which is probably

(13:12):
not a we'll call it the flyback, because why not.
And and you know you launched that right in the
back of your own offensive line. You look, it's amateur
hour out there. You're not getting any yards. So no,
it's not just some random drunken bachelor party from the
nineteen nineties where you could literally have like that, get

(13:36):
the velcrow a dartboard thing, and then hire people, which
of course then activists put out of business as evidence
in like Wolf of Wall Street would be a good
example of that. Right, this is not that this is
not every man just you know, having that hole. This
is somebody who has to train, which means you're gonna

(13:58):
need practice squad people that are roughly the same weight
so that you know you don't risk injury of your star,
but also allow the launcher or whatever you would deem
that position to go ahead and be the best in
the business.

Speaker 2 (14:14):
It would take a lot of athleticism. It would like
you know what evil and evil got shot out of
a cannon, right, that took like a lot of like
physical strength. And if Josh Allen is tossing a little
person into the end zone.

Speaker 1 (14:26):
Well that becomes to the question who is the tosser?
And you're right, you got to have somebody who's already
in on it, and I think the quarterback would be
the likely position it would it would fall to.

Speaker 2 (14:37):
So, well, if it's the case, if the game evolved
that way, you couldn't have somebody small like Kyler Murray
or somebody Oh.

Speaker 1 (14:44):
No, no, no, no, no no.

Speaker 2 (14:45):
You'd have to be like a six foot six, two
hundred somebody who's described as too strong. Yeah, yeah, how
it's there for an arm Just throw the right in.

Speaker 1 (14:54):
There, even though it's not just it's not the same
throwing motion. It kind of is because it's for the
benefit of your team and their points total. So can
you imagine you're sitting there at you know, you're on
the coaching team for Texas Tech, right and you're waiting

(15:17):
for the head coach to come in for you know,
everybody's got their clipboards or sitting in the room like
those scenes in Moneyball.

Speaker 2 (15:23):
And yeah, I was about to say this unfair because like,
you know, the guy from the A's gets a movie
starring Brad Pitt as himself, right to your movie, and
like this guy gets nothing.

Speaker 1 (15:33):
Well, because you know what, because at least Brad Pitt
followed through with his plan, because already I got people
trying to punch holes in Mike Leach's playing here. Uh
like the part where you're not allowed to launch other
players moment their momentum if they're not on the ground,
which is a rule that essentially makes it so you

(15:55):
can't just have three people on a defensive you know,
block a punter or block kick, launch three players up
in the air like it's a gymnastics conversation competition. But
that's on the defensive side. If you make it aok
for offense, there are there are there are plenty of
rules where once I can do the thing, the other

(16:16):
can't in certain situations. Okay, those are very it's a
specialty play. And remember the person you're launching, they have
to be able to hold out of the ball. So
it's not like it's you know, it's not like there's
it's it's not a tangible skills based position. And every

(16:38):
time you bring that person into the backfield, you're kind
of tipping your hand, do you know what I mean,
like they kind of know what's up, Like, what are
you all right? So we're gonna is it a reverse?
Is that what we're gonna do? Because that's the thing
the Vikings started doing on for like fourth and short plays.
That made me just want to bang my head into

(16:58):
the wall. So no, you're like, oh, okay, well number
whatever's in a number, whatever happens to be the toss.
E I think we're gonna I think we're gonna go
ahead and guard against the toss. And by the way,
is it just football that benefits from this, I would
I would profer that it is not. Some sports. It

(17:19):
may work some it may not Baseball, I don't really,
I can't think of a good reason for it. But basketball,
how would you like to have the you know, next
year's dunk champion be three foot tall? Eat your heart out,
Muggsy Bogues. Just guys, don't you know? Well alley oop

(17:42):
there from but you don't. You don't have to alley
oop to anybody, now, Ross thought I meant that Shaq
would hold him and then and dunk him as well.
That is not what I meant. No, but rather, you know,
we can't. Nobody can get in, you know, get down
low on the whoop, but this guy no.

Speaker 2 (18:01):
But I think Shack, if he wanted to, could do it. Yeah,
but I think he could dunk it. I don't know,
there's confusion. I'm not saying Shack now, but I'm saying
Prime all right, and it's Prime.

Speaker 1 (18:15):
I got you. I don't know, maybe Shack now, dude,
I thought he was gonna beat the crap out of
who's that? Aiden? Ross? I you know, I know nothing
about this dude other than a lot of people have
a low opinion of him, and I've just never cared
enough to look into it. He's just one of these
streamers who just does he go annoy people. Is that

(18:35):
a thing for him to well, he must have his
people are annoyed by him. I don't know his shick,
but he thought it would be funny at the last
UFC to go and knock candy out of Shack's hands
and it's like spilled on his legs and stuff, and
Shack straight up looked like he wanted to murder that dude.
And they were like trash talking with the UFC thing.

(18:56):
I mean, think think about the stone owns it takes
to go knock food out of Shaq's hands. And this
dude's like, I'll do that for clicks and conflict and
you know eventually where we are here. Yeah, I was
running through the list of sports. Uh, Hockey, No, not

(19:17):
really unless unless you're gonna do like a curling motion,
but probably not golf, No, not really, but you know,
like basketball is the one where there might be some
ancillary help there, but football really is the reason for

(19:37):
the season. If you and by the way, if you
know nothing about Mike Leach and you've never watch you
never back in the day watched one of his press conferences.
This dude was great. Like this dude the type Mike
Leach fake opening script story, which is confirmed, by the way.

(19:59):
Check that out and you'll go ahead and you'll get
yourself a little insight into how much this dude enjoyed
messing with people. His press conferences were kind of legendary.
So we'll leave it there, all right, eight eight eight
nine four seven eight seven before. Yeah, that's how. That's
how I opened the show today. It's Friday, says the

(20:22):
day you do things like this. We did Friday.

Speaker 2 (20:25):
We did a radio station event once in Salt Lake
City when I was working there, and it was the
guys from Jackass showed up and one of them, remember
the small we man, Yeah, we missed there. And the
whole event was because the club we were at we
did the broadcast at like Fridays or Saturdays, they had
a giant stage there and the entire event was like

(20:48):
tossing him off the stage, okay, And he was super
excited about it, and they did it for about ten
minutes and they had a cancel and this guy was
super pissed they canceled the event. He was like, I
want you to keep throwing me off the stage.

Speaker 1 (21:00):
Why did they cancel? Did somebody get offended?

Speaker 2 (21:02):
They they they started escalating and they're like, he's gonna
get hurt and then we're gonna get sued and there's
gonna be the issue at the radio station.

Speaker 1 (21:10):
Watch jacket.

Speaker 2 (21:11):
I know he was upset. He was like, no, keep
doing it. He was having a blast. This is the thing. Yeah,
this is.

Speaker 1 (21:17):
What I do. Because why I get up in the
morning and and lace my tiny shoes. This is this
is what I do. This is why the in all seriousness,
this is why the Peter dinklic thing is honestly really
one of the biggest d bag moves in in Like
you know, to your fellow actors that I that I

(21:39):
can think of, that you sideline an entire group of
people because you already got yours and you wanted to
play this woke stuff. That's just awful, man, So poor
we man. He's just he's on the road trying to
ply his thing right. He's not getting Peter dinkld Game

(22:00):
of Thrones money. No, he's got to go. He's got
a tour. That's it. By the way, if you ever
wonder if an artist is just killing it on their
own and if they tour, I mean sure, just just
know that for a lot of artists they have no
choice but to tour.

Speaker 2 (22:18):
They go to I'm not gonna lie, like I've seen,
you know, being in this business. You know, we've been around.
I've been around celebrities now and again, and I'm not
the type of name drop because I find it annoying.
And even when they would bring celebrities to the radio station,
I'm not the type I don't want. Yeah, I tend
to avoid it. I'm like, I just have no interest
in it. But that being said, I've never seen a

(22:41):
celebrity have more women all over them than we man
that night, and like attractive women, Like it was so
super strange. We were in VIP. It was upstairs like
they're for this club. What was the club, the Vortex.
It's called the Vortex and upstairs and the third floor
was the VIP area and we man comes in there

(23:05):
and he looks at the women and he just goes
he motions with his top to pull his top up
and he goes show show him to me, and I'm like,
this is crazy, And every single woman in the vi
P looks at him and and does it every single
and hip. Yeah, like this guy's powers, dude, that's why

(23:28):
you were playing with man? Just for the visual freebies.
What is the word the kids use like the riz. Yeah,
this guy just swimming in it.

Speaker 1 (23:37):
Yeah, absolutely, and he knows it too, right, you come
up and now he many times even in Utah, which
arguably from a getting girls to do that standpoint might
be one of the hardest lifts on the planet.

Speaker 2 (23:53):
Dude, like this guy and he completely knew that he
had this power. It was so Like I said, I've
been around like a lot of rock stars and I'm
seeing a lot of crazy stuff. The most powerful quote
celebrity rock star I've ever seen in this department is
a we man.

Speaker 1 (24:07):
From Jackets Slay and just slay in the groupies. All right, Well,
you know, and that's a guy who's got to work
harder bit and obviously he has found his niche. Yeah,
shame on whoever didn't want him to keep having fun
that day. That is awful. Speaking of awful, I tend again,

(24:28):
I tend to, although this is going to be different,
I tend to when it's the families of people who
are involved in big, high profile stories, I tend to
understand that emotions are going to drive a lot of
the decisions that are made there and so I try

(24:49):
not to be critical. Yeah, obviously your kid in retrospect
probably should not. Who's, by the way, not a kid
anymore in most of these circumstances, even though that's the
photo you're using. You know, maybe they should have showed
their hands or not, you know, held a weapon in
their hand too long, or attempted to grab an officer's
weapon that escalated into some you know, one of these

(25:10):
stories that's the next civil rights blockbuster, which are becoming
less and less thanks to all these body cams. I
think that's pretty clear. But like so, I'm sitting there
and you know, I see this stuff, and it has
to do with the parents of the parents of this

(25:33):
this kid in Frisco, this seventeen year old accused of
stabbing the other seventeen year old in the heart and
killing them, and all the crazy stories that are coming
out of escalate purchases and mansion moves and all of that,
because that's the money. No, no, no, it's the sheer
audacity of it. Shows you the type of lawyer the
family has chosen. Even though they had the means to

(25:55):
go hire a really good, not showboat lawyer, they instead
decided to settle on these uh, these civil rights lawyers
who all think that this is the next great civil
rights thing. And when when you're in that mindset and
you're willing to say whatever, because it's about the shock

(26:16):
value as to how you're doing things, like the things
you'll say openly are pretty crazy. But yet we have
now one of the lawyers for the family who was
responding to the father of the victims showing up to
a memorial thing or to a rally, and like most

(26:41):
every other lawyer I could possibly think of, I'm assuming
not a lawyer would sit there and go all right,
just don't acknowledge it, or maybe say, you know, maybe
say something where you're like, I understand the pain you're
going through, and you know, we just we just want
the truth, and we're gonna go ahead and go for
the truth and just leave it at that. That is

(27:02):
not the direction that the family and their lawyers chose
to go in yesterday. And it's pretty awful. So we'll
dive into that first thing. We'll do that next here
on the CaCO Day radio program. It's all kicks off
April second. April second, so about two weeks removed. That

(27:25):
is the date on which Texas high school athlete Austin
Metcalf was stabbed in the chest to the track meet.
And you know, I think we've done a pretty fair
job of really kind of waiting for the information to
flesh out and presenting it to you. I know a
lot of people have already locked into some pretty pretty

(27:47):
substantial positions here, and there's a lot of hypocrisy. I
understand that, right. But the gist of it was when
you read the witness statements and you read the police report,
the Carmelo Anthony, not the one who played for the Nuggets.
This guy was inside another team or another school's tent

(28:11):
area a seating area there, and the one of two twins,
although both were there. I was like, hey man, this
is not your spot. And then, according to the description
of how it went, the guy's like, well, what are
you gonna do? You make me move? A good idea?

(28:32):
Do that? Find out what happens, which is, by the way,
really normal high school stuff, right. That's dudes learning how
to square up to each other. That's an unremarkable thing
it has become. Back in my day, it might lead
to a few punches being thrown, but it would be
one on one nobody'd be jumping in and likely they'd
break it up as soon as somebody took some real damage,

(28:55):
and then you know, you might get in trouble, or
if nobody saw it, you wouldn't and then that was it.
And then that's just how it would how it would
have gone. But no, this case obviously took a much
more tragic turn, one that required somebody to bring a
weapon on the school property, which is already problematic, but

(29:16):
also utilize that weapon after the first escalation. Like, I'm
a big proponent when I watch these videos on the
internet that if you're the first person to put hands
and then you get a you get a fist full
of uh, you know, to the face. I mean like, well,
you kind of earned that. But then that's it. I

(29:38):
don't I don't wish you anything beyond that, other than
maybe you rethinking putting your hands on people now in
this situation, it's not that necessarily if the hands on
first came from the victim that it was that you
have to you have to convince yourself that he was
fearing for his life there. And I don't know how

(29:59):
fear fool you are. You can't blame the numbers or
any of the rest where you're essentially going, I wish,
I wish a m ef or would like if that's
your response, it's it sounds like you're you're you're there
for at least that part of it. And so all
of these other ancillary stories where he was provoked there
was a history. The one I saw I was like, oh,

(30:21):
this was his bully. Well, they didn't know each other,
they didn't go they didn't know each other at all.
They never met each other, and you could see in
the press conference they laid this thing out. Well, Uh
so Austin Metcalf's father, heard that they were having, uh

(30:42):
press release or a press conference and some sort of
a rallying thing. Remember there's all these fundraising efforts going on,
and he decided he was going to show up to
the press conference, not to run up on stage and
throw glitter or screaming a bullhorn, but just to be there.
And I can't, for the life of me understand the
decision by the family's attorneys for Carmelo Anthony to acknowledge

(31:05):
there and do so in this way.

Speaker 4 (31:08):
And all I'm going to say so it don't be asked. Later,
his lawyer was disrespectful and just shows you all the
character who was not invited. He knows respective to be

(31:29):
near this family, but he did it. And so I
say to people's actions speak louder than words.

Speaker 1 (31:38):
Okay.

Speaker 4 (31:40):
What he has failed into is the political operatives that
want to make this thing a political thing.

Speaker 1 (31:50):
That's why he's upset.

Speaker 4 (31:51):
Bigotry and yet racism a bunch of We have conservative
operativests that have been posting none thop about this case.

Speaker 1 (32:02):
Do you think the father of the dead students will
be was radicalized by political posts to show up? You think?

Speaker 5 (32:10):
Is?

Speaker 1 (32:11):
You think that's why he did it and then to
call it You know, there's a lot of things that
are disrespectful, sir. If we want to start making a list,
some would argue moving into the giant gated mansion and
buying an escalade and then posting things like well, you
know at least one family's has both parents track this. Yeah,
this is the d D put this out ross. Did

(32:31):
you see the new military ad the d D release yesterday?
I just saw this thing. All right, I'm gonna send
it to you here and if this delivers on what
the headline, because I literally saw it right as I'm
coming back if it delivers on the headline, which I'll
tell you about here in just a moment. I want
to get this to the ross here do d ad Okay,

(32:59):
I am one hundred percent here for it. All right,
that is on the way. Let me let me share
with you this. So apparently the DoD has released the
military has released a new ad uh and this is
the American Warrior. Right, so if you remember what heg
Seth was talking about, but really kind of the push

(33:20):
of the Trump administration was to concentrate on lethality, which
is a great word that you know, it's now all
in everybody's wheelhouse. But basically, are our soldiers in the
best position because again because people think the lethality is
just about the ability to kill people, and that the

(33:41):
court is, but also it's you want people to go
I'm not even screwing with them. That's the goal. That's
the goal. And look, there's some you'll never convince like
the Hooti's right. These guys get you know, tricked in
having a big group outdoor meeting standing in a circle

(34:04):
so that they can get effectively missiled all at the
same time, and they just keep it coming right, I'm
not just not who I'm talking about. I'm talking about
other folks. I'm talking about China. Who would you know,
at any point would go, you know what, this is
a trade war. Now it's a real war. And if
you think those things don't happen, I would I would
suggest you look at World War two. Essentially it was

(34:27):
a trade It was a trade dispute that was one
of the big escalators for why Japan thought that that
was a good idea, which is insane in retrospect. So yeah,
but not just an ad focusing on the American warrior,
but one that also mocks the our diversity is our strength.

(34:53):
That is that is some top tier stuff right there,
my man? All right, well we'll get into that just
a little more. Grab a quick phone call here, Yes, Donna,
what's up?

Speaker 6 (35:03):
Good morning, Casey.

Speaker 1 (35:04):
That's Friday. So there's that, and it's good Friday. So
that's you know, that's that's right, that's right.

Speaker 6 (35:10):
So the dad that went to the press conference when this,
like I think it was like the night after it happened,
or maybe the same night, he came out in a
press conference and said he forgive the boy, He forgave
the boy, he gabbed his son. The mother, on the
other hand, said she did not, and so did the brother.

(35:31):
But he would think that these uh lawyers in the
family would want him up there on the stage since
he's the one who gave him.

Speaker 1 (35:40):
Well, you think they'd have enough brains to just not
trash on the dude. That's the that's the crazy thing.

Speaker 6 (35:46):
That would be a good start.

Speaker 7 (35:48):
Yeah, And that's.

Speaker 1 (35:48):
What happens when you hire lawyers who are there for
the wrong reasons, right, Yeah, I don't begrudge anybody. Look,
one of my favorite lawyers, and somebody I know personally,
was a lawyer for Timothy mca right, yeah, yeah, I
mean that's a that's a tough putt right there, right,
because you know you're you know you're going to get
an l in your in your overall record, right.

Speaker 6 (36:11):
And the penalty on top of it.

Speaker 3 (36:13):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (36:13):
Well, and that's but for the lawyer's name is Chris Triteco. Guys,
because people can look this up. He was introduced to
me through another radio friend, and Tritico was not He's
not some Republican I don't know what is technically what
his politics are, but just talking to him yet a
little woke in him. But his big thing is he
he is he's not a fan of the death penalty.

(36:34):
And as I understand his position, and it's an interesting one,
is if you have a general distrust of government, now
you have a possibility where government, using all of the
powers and force, the government can provide and seek your death.
And that's a very powerful thing. And you know what
that is. That is how you argue and debate an

(36:55):
issue like that. Because he does of people going, well,
I don't trust the government. I saw what they did
with Jay six. Or should I trust them when they
want to execute somebody? And and like, those are good
conversations to have this lawyer down in Texas. And I
was talking to another radio guy who has got his
own lawyer friend down in Texas. Like the other lawyers,

(37:16):
including one of my buddy's firm, they like approached them,
and the firm did not want to do it. And
then they heard that they were getting civil rights lawyers
and they're like, now nobody will work with him who
is a legitimate defense because they realized the motivation of
the lawyers now is not what is in the best
interest of their client right, but rather what's in the

(37:39):
best interest of the narrative, and that's where we're gonna
end up with this stuff. So probably not. All right,
you guys address your cat up in like a little
Pope pat today or what do you do?

Speaker 6 (37:52):
Hey, listen, I have a really cool question to you.
I watched your Katy Perry Illuminati video.

Speaker 1 (37:58):
I just want to be very clear that is not mine.
It's just something that stumbled across on the internet thought
everyone should have to hear.

Speaker 6 (38:05):
So well, I'm just wondering, since it's a tantric sex guru,
if you practice ritual sex.

Speaker 1 (38:12):
Magic blood sugar sex magic is what it's technically called. Yeah, yeah, which,
now in retrospect, I realize is about diabetic witches. But whatever,
which is a good one?

Speaker 3 (38:26):
Okay?

Speaker 1 (38:27):
All right? You probably get along with them, you know,
because they like cats too, So my cat is.

Speaker 3 (38:34):
A dull baby.

Speaker 6 (38:35):
You stop saying bad things about my cats.

Speaker 1 (38:41):
Hold on, Ross, what if we got a cat a
spot on an NFL roster? Think about how far you
could throw? No, yeah, yeah, I just thought of something.
Thank you Donna for being the inspiration.

Speaker 6 (38:53):
Say hi to Boot, Say hi boots.

Speaker 1 (38:56):
I don't know what a boots is.

Speaker 6 (38:58):
Say hi Boots, because she can.

Speaker 1 (39:00):
I'm sure he can run. Boots run. They're gonna dress
you in something. Yeah, you have a self respect. Get
out of there, all right. Thanks, I'm the monster. I
just tried to save your cat from getting uh, you know,
pictures of it dressed? Is I don't know whatever you
dress of the Easter bunny? Think your cat wants Easter bunny? Yours?

Speaker 2 (39:21):
Hell No?

Speaker 1 (39:23):
And what Donna's referring to, I just want to be
very clear, is not my Katie Perry Illuminati video. It's
just one of the many insane things I watch because
you know, I like the conspiracy theories where apparently the
entire launch was nothing but some sort of homage to
Baphomet and an Illuminati plot. And then they go into

(39:44):
all sorts of stuff and there's a couple things where
you're just like, why does the patch look like that? Right?
But then there's other stuff where it's just like you
all need some thorz. What the hell is going on here?
Think you pos to think about some of this stuff?
All right. I have not even heard this ad yet.
I just saw the description. Does it payoff? All right?

(40:07):
So this is the new ad from the DoD and
if it literally does touch on that diversity is our
strength line that is a top tier. Here we go,
we're listening to it all together for the first time.

Speaker 8 (40:19):
They never get the appalls, they never get the headlines,
they never get the bright lights, they never get the microphone.

Speaker 1 (40:29):
No one's heard their story.

Speaker 9 (40:31):
No one's familiar with their story.

Speaker 4 (40:34):
One of the dumbest phrases in military history.

Speaker 2 (40:37):
Our diversity is our strengths.

Speaker 1 (40:39):
Our shared purpose is our strength.

Speaker 5 (40:41):
We are one DoD community committed to.

Speaker 7 (40:44):
The same issue. We are American warriors.

Speaker 1 (40:48):
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah. They didn't shy away
from that, did they.

Speaker 2 (40:52):
And that's it.

Speaker 1 (40:53):
That is the fundamental And I have no and I
like that they're doing that because I think that one
of the things that's very effect in politics is having
an incredibly easy to discern differentiating factor. Right I am.
This is their position, this is my position. Which do
you think is best? And do you think it is

(41:17):
let's let's have maximum diversity, or is it best when
we have the maximum ability to not just go out
and kick ass and take names, but strike fear at
the very thought of going to war with us? So
you choose not to, which frankly is a really good thing, right.
I know, people they go, oh, that just it allows

(41:37):
you to be authoritarian around the world. Well, sometimes we're
just the biggest, well every time technically from the numbers.
But like, is it some sort of weird flex that
Jamaica isn't going to declare war on the US. I'm
just picking on Jamaica, but I mean, just from a
number standpoint, No, this is reality. That's just reality. My friends. Hell,

(42:03):
just whenever they got just military hardware stood deployed in
southern Florida would be enough to end that in the day.
That's a good thing. I don't know. I don't know
how you eliminate it from the from the list there.
So yeah, I'm I'm perfectly fine with the direction they're
going here. One all right eight eight eight nine three

(42:23):
four seven eight seven four. Apparently there's some big thing.
I don't know what it is, and maybe it's not
a big thing, but like, is there some like weird
David hog kinky story getting ready to come out? I
hate putting all those words into one sentence, but like
dudes trying to get ahead of something. And now there's

(42:46):
like internal warfare with James Carvill and David Hogg, which
is that that meme, that god Zilla meme where you're like,
let him fight right, No love loss there, but it
is a real directional struggle within the Democrat Party because
Hog is the vice chair of the party and Carville
is clearly old guard of the party. I don't know
that there's older old guard than Carville, just being on

(43:09):
the political scene from the left and apparently they are
not fans of each other, and I think it points
to what direction what is the party as a whole
going to take away from the last election. And if
you're David Hogg, probably not a lot of useful lessons
if he gets his way. So but hey, if you

(43:30):
want to root for the destruction of both sides, fine
at least let me lay out the details coming up
on the CaCO Day radio program. Then there's a lot
to like here. But also I try to analyze these
things too as to a non as to be in
a non biased position. We're refuge when reviewing it. Obviously
I have opinions, but like I try to take a

(43:51):
step back and think, Okay, is this of all the
options that they have, is it's probably the best thing
for them? If so, or if not? Why so I
can do that. So I saw James Carvill losing his
damn mind in an interview I think it was on
News Nation too, right, which is you know, definitely, definitely

(44:15):
if you're gonna throw beef about internal Democrat squabblings, that's
gonna be an audience that's gonna lap that up. So
he's sitting there and he's talking about David Hogg, and
this is after Hogg announced that as his in his
new role as vice chair of the National Party, one
of the things he's going to be doing is creating

(44:38):
and funneling money a fund and then funneling money to
incumbent Democrat primary challenges. Right, So you know that always
gets you know, whenever we make fun of Tom Tillis
on this radio, which is so easy to do when
you know you're that's your target, right, like listen to
the dude or you know those times he murdered the

(45:00):
kids as slender Man, his alter ego. And but inevitably
I'll get an email and they're like, yeah, but you know,
if you're primary him, then Roy Cooper's gonna win the seats.
He just can't do it. I'm like, well, that's that's
obviously defeat us. Sir, do you think that Tom Tilli
is the only person who could beat Roy Cooper potentially?
And maybe maybe the answer is yes, because the power

(45:20):
of incumbassy is a thing. But Hogs like nah Man,
what we gotta do is we need to funnel like
twenty million bucks, which goes a lot further in a
primary than in a general election. Right, You're gonna get
a lot of bang for twenty million bucks man, and
we're gonna get some of these old guard, more moderate
Democrats out so that we can get a bunch of

(45:41):
AOC's in there. And that's the hogs all in on it,
and that's where then the analysis has to be, is
that really the smart move for the party? Who's got
you know what twenty percent approval rating as a party
for twenty one, I guess was the last number I saw,
where largely it appears that a lot of the quote

(46:03):
unquote mushy middle people moved to the right, probably for
some of your more extremist positions. And David hogs all in,
so I understand why Carville's looking at it, going this
is the dumbest thing ever, But of course he's got
to say it in his own little way.

Speaker 10 (46:18):
Somebody sued David Hogg. He's an officer of the Democratic
National Committee. He is the vice chairman of Democratic National Committee,
and he's run against other Democrats. I would like to know,
and you went to law school, does he have a
fiduciary duty toward Democrats if I work for if you
work for News Nation, you can't promote seeing that that's
if you work for somebody else, you have a fiduciary
duty to your employer, which anybody can understand. He's being

(46:43):
paid to run against other Democrats. I think it's an outbreak.
I'm I don't know if I have standing, but I
might give the DMC ten dollars and consue him.

Speaker 1 (46:53):
He's a contemptible little twerk.

Speaker 10 (46:55):
If you assueh asked Jim, I'll have you on the
show to talk about it. I don't know if I
have and if somebody kept standing, sue.

Speaker 2 (47:02):
His punk ass started right on this show.

Speaker 1 (47:05):
All right, So yeah, yeah, you could gauge from the
reaction of the News Nation host. Uh his excitement at
the possibility. It does. It does bring me. Uh, it
brings me a little relief because, like inevitably, David Hogg
annoys the crap out of me, but I always wonder
if it's worth my time, and he if he's not

(47:28):
just somebody doing his thing. But like with David Hog,
it cements the idea that he's probably as insufferable even
if you're quote unquote with him, right and and and
that's good because you know those people, they're just even
when they're even when they'reup there saying what you think,
like I hate that guy talking about this, uh, this,

(47:48):
this Van Holland trip, although yesterday is really where it culminated.
So you had the Senator for Maryland very publicly talk
about how he was going to go to l Salvador
and he was going to meet with this quote Maryland
man who was deported because there's no other descriptors to attach.
And you know he's fighting the good fights, fighting Trump Man,

(48:13):
and then it was just clown show. He flies all
the way to El Salvador and he gets there and
they don't tell him until he gets there. Yeah, you
can't meet with him unless and this is literally the
vice president of El Salvador to his face, unless you
have a note from the president. We need a note
from your dad. So we speculated, well, what would Van

(48:37):
Holland do? Right, go over to the maybe one of
the handful of resorts they have there on the Pacific side.
Maybe get a chance to explore some of the historical
settlements that exist in El Salvador. There are a couple there.
Maybe go check out the volcanoes they got some of those. No, no,

(49:00):
none of that. He was not dissuaded. And I love, love, love, love,
love love his bounce back plan here. It is bart
is just.

Speaker 9 (49:10):
A gross violation of basic human rights and human decency.
And you know, I asked the Vice President if I
came back next week, whether or not I could go
visit Killmark, and the answer.

Speaker 1 (49:22):
Was no, you couldn't guarantee that.

Speaker 9 (49:24):
I said, Look, I may be the first member of
Congress here, the first senator, but I can assure you
more will be coming, and you cannot continue to keep
this man locked up.

Speaker 1 (49:37):
What a good worst prison in El Salvador, Someone argue
the worst prison in all of Central America. But yeah,
who's county do it? Do it? Look, it's not like
the Democrats have anything on their calendar this weekend, probably
most of them except the ones that are pretending you

(49:57):
all should go down there. A fantastic idea. I think
that that's that's the that's the problem here, not that
the executive branch handles foreign affairs and you're not in it.
I think the problem is there are not enough federally
elected Democrats down there. In fact, ross I was doing
the math here. I think what we need is what

(50:20):
was the number, oh all of them to go to
El Salvador this weekend and stand in solidarity there, and
I hope, hope, hope that while you are all in
l Salvador, that the administration doesn't become aware of the
potential of some sort of easily transmitted respiratory virus perhaps

(50:41):
from the Salvador area or the triangle as they call
it there with the three countries, which would then preclude
the travel of anyone who's been there of coming back
to the US for public safety, right, because you wouldn't
want everyone to get the you know, the coughs, right,
especially as an elected official, Why would you want to

(51:02):
bring that back to foist upon your constituency. So yeah,
get them all down there, get a big Kumbaya photo op,
and then mystery respiratory virus. Nothing we can do tell
you what, We'll just take fifteen days to think about it.
But we couldn't possibly repatriate you right now. Just have

(51:23):
to chill down there. How long, Well, we'll tell you
fifteen days, but how about I don't know, two years, yesh.
I give for the kids, remember, just for the safety
of the kids and the family and everybody else. And hey,
since you're already over there and they have groups sleeping
options that would be very convenient in those rooms that

(51:43):
have sixty four bunks to a room, get a few
of those. You got Congress all handled be like a
big slumber party without air conditioning in the middle of
the jungle. So I have fun with all of that.
So yeah, I like your stick to itiveness, sir, And
I think that's absolutely positively how you got to go
with this thing as a totally unbiased outside advisor just

(52:08):
trying to help you politic I think that's that's the
direction you want to go. Okay, all right, very good,
speaking of people that might be ending up sleeping in
a prison. So this dude was getting some pub yesterday.
I'm calling him Captain Bunny ears Ross. Did you see
the guy's profile photo with this PhD student where he's

(52:28):
wearing like free ears on his head.

Speaker 2 (52:31):
No I miss that.

Speaker 1 (52:32):
Oh yeah, well it makes some extra intimidating. So if
civil war does kick off, I'm gonna make Captain Bunny
Ears your project. I feel like you, I feel like
you shouldn't have any problem with him. That's the thing
about revolutionaries. Some of them are in it. They're willing
to you know, do their own you know, execution squads
and things like that. I'm not enjoying the commitment to horribleness.

(52:56):
I'm just pointing out they're not afraid to get their
hands dirty. I don't think this du dude wants to
get in one fight with anybody, but he sure wants
them to happen. Nicholas Decker, a PhD student at George
Mason University or PhD candidate I guess that's the term
at George Mason University, had finally had enough. He had

(53:16):
he had hit the end of his rope, His TDS
had boiled over, and so he decided to not just
write a whole web article about it entitled when must
we Kill Them? Which is a little innocuous, right, because
that could be that could be like somebody calling for

(53:38):
essentially genocide all the way down to how to how
to treat those tiny ants that invade your kitchen as
things get warmer, not the ones you can see, of
the ones you almost can't see, Like, where the hell
are those guys all the rest of the years? What's
going on there? Why is there a billion in my
kitchen right now? And then like when should we kill them? Well?
That's now, that's a home improvement article. Unfortunately for Decker,

(54:02):
he yielded not quite into genocide, but into this in
both an article and then eventually a post on Twitter
which got added to the FBI and Secret Service a
million times. He wrote, the ultimate source of political power
is and always will be violence. If the president administration

(54:24):
should continue on its course, there is no choice but war.
I say this out of sorrow. When must we kill them? Well?
Alrighty then? And also I also love the part where
essentially his beasts with Trump are all hallmarks of the
Biden administration. That's not lost on me. But yeah, he

(54:46):
threw this thing up there. I guess. I guess he
probably doesn't want to be a George Mason University PhD student,
because he's literally in this talking about the rationale which
he clearly thinks is there because he keeps saying things
like if they don't change course, So if they just

(55:06):
stick to literally doing the things that voters elected him
to do, that's good enough to go start a fool
on war. Are you ready for this? And I don't
want to just discount it too, because it's not all
lunatics and Bunny Years that are going to get one
shot and should you know that ro Shambeau ever break out,
but rather there are a lot of very violent people

(55:27):
that are very good at being violent within the ranks
of the the militant far left. So I mean the
their stick to itiveness and trying to burn that federal
building down was one hundred nights in a row and
he didn't get this wayed. He just kept coming back,
all right. But I don't think I don't this is

(55:51):
you know this this whole Uh? Do you think this
is a flex and intimidates people? Will you just wait?
You just wait till me and my friends who probably
also posing Bunny Years for a profile, You just you
wait until we get enough. Remember that video of where
they had like leftists these like and they're all like
real thin leftists who were out like combat training in

(56:15):
the Woods, except it where it was far sadder than
even that Venezuelan Special Forces video, which we all laughed
at hilariously on the show for quite some time. One day, Yeah,
they're like, oh, we're out there. You don't want to
meet these fists. I'm like, I would I know if

(56:35):
I met that fist, or would I just hear a
cracking sound in my periphery of your hand all being
broken at the same time, Because I feel like there's
a possible especially if I had a couple, might be
the second one. But now this guy's like, all right,
we don't have a choice if they do things like
jail their political opponents. Huh so ready to go to

(57:00):
war for that? Oh now you are okay. You weren't before,
but now you are okay. Good. So the whole things
are crazy. Read man, I'm not gonna I'm not gonna
read it a little manifesto, but you get the gist
of what was going on there, and it doesn't appear
to be going well for him, judging by some of
these changes people were posting with the university there not

(57:23):
so impressed. All right, seven forty four, We're not all special,
like mister Stagic so we're here, we're doing our thing,
and Jeff Maher from the Weather Channel is here to
help us do it. Jeff, how you doing today, sir?
Doing wonderful? How are you like? How do you got
to be a chief meteorologist to get all this time off?

Speaker 8 (57:40):
I don't even know that works. Apparently I'll be talking
to get next Friday. So apparently it's a Friday thing
in the area.

Speaker 1 (57:46):
Because that was Oh, how nice for him? How'd you
like to have every Friday off during the summer months.
That'd be great?

Speaker 7 (57:52):
All right?

Speaker 1 (57:53):
Well, yeah, we got a toil, so let's toil. What
do we got?

Speaker 8 (57:56):
Yeah, we've got some drying, warm weather right on through
the Easter weekend. We'll stay warm into Monday, and then
we'll get some needed rainfall starting on Tuesday. It looks
like next week and into the middle portion of next week.
In the meantime, clear this morning, a lot of sun
this afternoon, whins will pick up out of the south.
The high headed to eighty three, clear tonight down to
sixty one. How about a high of eighty nine tomorrow
with sunshine and then clouds rolling Tomorrow night was still

(58:17):
dry with the low sixty four. The Outloy for Easter
on Sunday. A mix of clouds and sunshine. Still on
the warm side, up to eighty eight and partly it's
mostly cloudy Monday or behind your eighty seven degrees.

Speaker 1 (58:27):
All right, we'll chat with Jeff once again in the
next hour. Thank you, sir, sure, and we will take
a break. Reminder coming up eight oh five peak calender
will join us. Uh oh, and for the empty time,
scientists think they found more aliens. Although it is I
will say it's a unique and interesting bit of reasoning here.
It's you know, a lot of times it's just they

(58:48):
found a Goldilocks planet and they're like, oh, we found
this planet that could feasibly it's within the realm. This
is different what their claiming is going on here, but
also reminded me of something, so we'll get into the
next Here on the CaCO Day Radio program, a goofy
story that some guy in Florida's last name is Cocaine.
We're just here to mock that dude, Okay, but I'm
talking things, right. I have to assess what I really

(59:11):
feel about it, and sometimes I'm not able to in
the proper sense because it's not a thing that I've
ever dealt with, or have any familiarity with, or a
situation that Frank I, you know, it is profoundly and
currently problematic for me. So but I still try to

(59:33):
think it through, and sometimes I get it wrong. So
I saw a story earlier this week where a couple
was complaining that some of their fellow hotel guests called
the police on them, and I listened to it, I'm like, yeah,
maybe they shouldn't have called the police on these people.

(59:53):
Is what they're doing really that wrong? And I was
actually surprised that I ran up by Ross and he's immediately, now,
you didn't say called the police, but immediately you disagree
with the parent's decision to leave their kid where they
left their kid, right, I'm gonna give the details here.
Oh yeah, I couldn't approach it from a parent standpoint
because I don't know. But the story is this, So
they're staying at a hotel and the hotel has a

(01:00:17):
restaurant in the lobby, okay, like a bar restaurant, you know,
just a standard I don't know if it's a Marriott
or whatever. But so they're staying there and they have
their they have their baby and so they go up
to the room. They get one of the cribs too, right,
you get the baby crib there from some hotels, and
they get the baby all, you know, fed and burped

(01:00:38):
and cleaned and all the stuff that you do, and
then they put little little Timmy down to sleep. And
because it's modern technology, they have literally their baby monitor
with them, which they can watch on the phone. So
once the kid is asleep, it's probably you know, like
seven eight o'clock based on the actual cold time, that'd
be about righting. So they head down. They they literally

(01:01:00):
make sure the babies asleep, they get the camera on
the baby, they go one floor down to the lobby
and they go into the restaurant there and they're getting
dinner and dinner and drinks or maybe just dinner. I
don't know what all they consumed. However, where they are seated,
they have the baby monitor basically have a phone propped up,

(01:01:21):
you know, in the little like watch the movie mode
with a little flip up kickstand and it's the baby monitor.
And one of the other patrons, I guess, puts it
together that they're eating there, there's no baby insight, but
they're watching a baby on the monitor, they call police.
Now me, I'm just like, yeah, is that any different

(01:01:42):
than if you the baby's room is upstairs and you
and your spouse are sitting there watching a movie downstairs,
but with the baby monitors, so that if there's a problem.

Speaker 2 (01:01:50):
One of you can go handle it completely, okay, because
because people are crazy, I don't trust people at the hotel.
We have these stories all the time. Somebody tries to
break in and steal your baby or do something to
your baby. People are nuts. You know, what could happen.

Speaker 1 (01:02:07):
Usually there to peep ony, like the weird dude who
is hiding under the cross baby.

Speaker 2 (01:02:11):
And you're downstairs, so it's going to take you a
while to get back to that room. And you know,
babies tend to throw up. So if this baby rolls
over or or or you know, it starts choking on
its vomit and you need to go help the baby,
good luck. By the time you get up there, you
have to get up, you have to get in the elevator,
you have to go up stair away. You know, my my,

(01:02:33):
my immediate reaction to that is awful. Would never do it,
wouldn't even I.

Speaker 1 (01:02:40):
Can't even argue with you because I have no I
have no point to argue from. I was just surprised
because your reaction was very visceral.

Speaker 2 (01:02:45):
Oh completely, yeah, I'm like, that's bad. Would I would
not even do There's so many things that could possibly
go wrong. Plus I would don't want to be that
far away from my kids just in case. Like I
just like I said, it's a visceral physical reaction.

Speaker 1 (01:02:57):
If that far away, like a big house, any.

Speaker 2 (01:03:01):
Stuff happens, man, and and listen, if Marky was away
from work and I was like, you know, there's just
a we have a corner store right there. Wait right,
it's like less than a you know, it's like what
maybe like two minute walk away. If I'm like Marky
Lincoln was up in his in his bedroom in his crib,
and I had the monitor while I walk because you know,

(01:03:22):
the signal goes that far. And I walked to the
store and I got some beer and came back. That's cool, right,
you know, I kept I kept the house locked. There's
no way that would be acceptable, and it shouldn't be.

Speaker 1 (01:03:35):
But but but you've left the premises there, like I
I'm gonna give them, I'm gonna give them all the
benefit of the doubt for the for any version of this,
what if they had they could see their door, right,
because I've been if you go to like an embassy
suite time they had that centered like jungle lobby, and
then they have the stairs up towards like if you're
on that first floor, if you could see your door

(01:03:57):
from there, and and you got your baby monitor. I
don't understand how that's remarkably different than being in your
house other than the fact that yes, there.

Speaker 2 (01:04:07):
Are I don't know your door and I'm and I
my door locked, and them in my living room while
we're watching Netflix. We have these stories. Remember the one
we had, the one where the tiny dude was hiding
under the bed.

Speaker 1 (01:04:18):
Yeah it was a cruise ship one.

Speaker 2 (01:04:21):
Yeah, no way, no possible way.

Speaker 1 (01:04:25):
I think it's interesting because also one of the things
that we talk about on the show a lot is
once that baby turned six, in our generation, they were
good to go walk around the neighborhood unattended, you know
what I mean, Not now, not now. So it's it's
it's interesting to chat with our radio buddy to the
South Middays WBT. It is one Pete Calender who is

(01:04:49):
not a fan of using astronauts to describe the women's
space travelers. How are you doing, Pete?

Speaker 3 (01:04:55):
I am doing all right. How are you today?

Speaker 1 (01:04:57):
I good good. I noticed this was one of the
hill you wanted to die on this week. Pushing back
using the astronaut, I think we're all in unison for
the most part. I haven't heard a real good argument
why it should be except from Gail King, who's upset.
Did you see Gail King's upset?

Speaker 3 (01:05:14):
Isn't she always upset? Though?

Speaker 1 (01:05:16):
Oh but she's super upset. Baby. I don't hold hold
on here, let me play the audio for it.

Speaker 7 (01:05:22):
I don't like that people are calling it a ride.
A ride. You know, you never see a man, a
male astronaut who's going up in space, and they said, oh,
we took a ride. We actually duplicated the route that
Alan Shepherd did. That's why it's called this particular capsule
is called the New Shepherd. We duplicated that route, that route.
No one said he took that ride. It's always referred to.

Speaker 1 (01:05:44):
As a I can't a couple that who didn't like
the term mankind, and it just gets it's so insufferable.
Except the difference is that woman was an astronaut and
if I could suggest, and I'm curious your thoughts, so
let me suggest migrate because people are like, well, how
do you delineate the two? And I think I thought
of a way if after the initial launch, the capsule

(01:06:11):
or rocket or whatever you're in had the possibility, if
left to its own devices, of either staying and stationary orbit,
or of traveling further outside. Now we're getting into astronaut territory.
But if the only thing that possibly could happen with
your capsule, if left, you know, turn all the engines off,

(01:06:32):
is that it falls back to Earth, then you never
left Earth? Is that unacceptable? Would you say that's an
acceptable dividing line there?

Speaker 3 (01:06:41):
Yeah, there's that. I mean, there is actually a term
for this. I think they call it something like spaceflight,
a spaceflight participant or something. The FAA actually has a
description of what these women did, and I'm not minimizing that.
You know, look, it takes courage to go up in there.
You don't know what's going to happen with that thing. Yeah,

(01:07:03):
but the fact that like, here's here's my standard. If
you have to go through minimum one month worth of
training to learn how to fly the craft, then you're
an astronaut, right, that's it, Like you have to have
a month's worth of training flying the craft in order

(01:07:23):
to be called an astronut or as I call them,
astro knots, because they're not. And I'm just not a
fan of them claiming credit to be a thing that
they are not. I have no problem with them doing it.
I know a lot of people were complaining about, you know,
this is some photo op or whatever. Yeah, I'm okay
with it. I've been okay with private space flight from

(01:07:45):
the beginning. I want all of the ingenuity and engineering
eggheads to go out there and get us, you know,
more into space. I'm totally fine with all of that.
But I just I bristle, if you will, at the
use of the term astronaut, because it puts them, it
elevates them to the to the same level as people

(01:08:10):
who actually underwent, you know, massive amounts of training, had
to learn how to fly the craft and what to
do in all the various situations and all of that.
I mean, remember the most famous astronaut, Tom Hanks. He
was doing like calculus with a pencil while floating around
the moon. I mean, that's an astronaut.

Speaker 1 (01:08:29):
Yeah, no one, I'm with you man and uh and
and to your point that it's a fun ride is good.
It's good. It's it arguably is probably the greatest thrill
wide thrill ride on the planet right now, sure, or
kind of off of it, And every time they do it,
it makes the idea of space travel or anything approaching

(01:08:52):
it safer and less expensive. It is just the history
of literally everything. When car first came out, you and
I were buying a carpet. When their commercial airline stuff
was going on, you and I were buying a ticket.
Most people were now, but eventually it went from the
days of you know, dudes in suits with full martini
glasses to the absolute healthscape that is you trying to

(01:09:16):
put a bag to not pay that the frontier lady
ten dollars, even though it clearly fits in the square,
it fits what's going on here.

Speaker 3 (01:09:24):
So it's amazing. The economic illiteracy. It's actually not amazing.
It's pretty on brand for us, but it's it's the
economic illiteracy. Every single technology goes through this same sort.
It's an S curve basically right where you've got the
innovation occurs. Few people adopted a couple of early adopters,
but the price is so high because the technology is

(01:09:47):
so new and they're trying to recoup the costs of
the research and development or whatever. And then you get
the curve starts going up as more and more people
start doing it, prices start coming down, it becomes more accessive.
All the any kind of stereotypes that created barriers against
the innovation, they start falling, and then you have, uh,

(01:10:07):
you know, the explosion of use, and then it levels
out to whatever that norm would be. And that's what
this is. So there's there's no problem. I have no
problem with the with the ride or the flight or
whatever Gail King wants to call it. My only objection
was calling these these members of the space tourist flight,
because that's what they are. They are space tourists, and

(01:10:30):
I'm fine with that. I don't say that to denigrate them.
I just I just reject the label of astronaut because
I think words should mean things, and we should all
understand what the word means when we use the word
to apply to a category of people. Also, what was
with the spacesuits? Why did they have to wear the

(01:10:52):
skin tight zipper? Things like, come.

Speaker 1 (01:10:56):
On, there's stuff that's criticizable, and then maybe there's some
stuff it's not worth your time. Just let it be.
I know, Katy Perry talk about how they were putting
the ass an astronaut. You can't do that without that's fair.
Tight space suits, Yeah, that's fair.

Speaker 3 (01:11:13):
No, I just yeah, it's it's one of those things
where I wonder, you know, if it was a bunch
of men to channel my inner Gail King, if it
was a bunch of men, would they have gone up
there in the like ress skin suits as well?

Speaker 1 (01:11:28):
I don't know. I don't know if have you seen
some of the pants the dudes were the gym's now
basically Lululemon stuff ross. Is that a fair description? I
don't even know how to describe it. They're just they
don't look like dude pants, and they're they're outside the
fact that even one person's wearing it means they're too popular.
So there's that now to be fair, and again because

(01:11:50):
we try to be fair here, Yeah, Katie Perry did
more than just you know, you know, do some training
for a month, right. I don't know if you heard
her interview on how she prepped for this, because she
wanted to understand all of the aspects of spaceflight. Here
she is in an interview just Day's Books.

Speaker 7 (01:12:08):
I don't like that people are calling it.

Speaker 5 (01:12:10):
Sorry if I click here, we go about the engineering
of it all. I'm excited to learn more about STEM
and just the math about how.

Speaker 2 (01:12:21):
What it takes.

Speaker 5 (01:12:24):
To accomplish this type of thing. I was winding down
from a rehearsal the other day and I was listening
to Cosmos by Carl Sagan and reading a book on
string theory, and yeah, it was like going.

Speaker 1 (01:12:39):
Wow, wow, So she read a whole book on string theory.
Pete nice, Have you read a book on string theory?

Speaker 3 (01:12:47):
No? I take it back, she's an astronaut, now.

Speaker 1 (01:12:50):
Okay, yeah, all the other string theory unless you're unless
you think the rocket might jump you in the multiverse.
I'm not understanding how this is helpful for you.

Speaker 3 (01:12:58):
Well, we don't know which strings she's talking about. It
could be strings off of a musical instrument or something.

Speaker 1 (01:13:05):
Oh yeah, maybe when she's talking about women in STEM
and then I see her holding the daisy, I assume
she got it wrong, right right, Oh yeah, there you go.

Speaker 3 (01:13:14):
Yeah, Look, it's a it's a publicity stunt. I thought
I thought one of them had the greatest opportunity ever
to get you know, just as you're about to, you know,
break out of the the bonds of Earth, and then
you just declare yourself to be a man, that you
have transitioned, And that would have just ruined the entire thing.
That would have been a classic troll because I'm identifying

(01:13:38):
as a man now. So this is not the first
all female crew ship. And that's the other one too.
They're not crew. They were not the crew. So you
can't call that the crew because it was it was
flown by you know, somebody else in a.

Speaker 1 (01:13:52):
Yeah, okay, but what if there have been a problem.
You don't think that six women in a capsule, if
there was a problem, would be easily able to explain
and identify the problem. Perhaps the ground control possibly men. Yeah,
you don't think they because some people were fearful. They'd
be like nothing, nothing's wrong, and they're like, we we're
having a master alarm. We have a master alarm. I

(01:14:12):
need to know what's going on. Is everything okay? Like
it's fine, everything's fine.

Speaker 3 (01:14:16):
Well, she would rely on her expertise from the string
theory book to identify, right the problem Now, I did
hear that they when they were turned when the ship
came back or the capsule or whatever landed and Jeff
Bezos was running around it and face planted into the desert.
By the way, the tip.

Speaker 1 (01:14:38):
Yeah, check out the rocket before it's all separated. You'll
understand anyway.

Speaker 3 (01:14:44):
I gotcha. Well, my understanding is that when it did return,
there was a bit of a dent and a scrape
in the back left quarter panel that nobody. Nobody knew
how they got that.

Speaker 1 (01:14:57):
I did hear him screaming like it's a rollercoaster on
the way down. But then I really I might do that,
so I probably shouldn't make fun.

Speaker 3 (01:15:02):
Of them, right, And also, like if you're gonna go
up like a firework, Katy Perry referenced there, you do want,
Katy Perry, I would think, like when you're up and
then if something does go wrong, like you want, I
would think you would want her to sing as long
as I think she has the auto tune with her,
then I think, like you would want that would be

(01:15:22):
a nice thing.

Speaker 1 (01:15:23):
Oh, that's not fair. She did sing. She's sang up there.
Gail Kingslan who told everyone about him. Yeah, but she's
sang wonderful world, wonderful world. Yep, yeah, all right, hey,
quick question. I even though he is he's getting the meeting,
or he got the meeting, I took some sort of

(01:15:46):
diabolical pleasure in watching the timeline of the Senator Van
Holland trip to El Salvador. Yeah, because he made this
big show I'm gonna go down and do this. Who's
with me? And at first they're like, nobody's with you?
And he went and then he sat on the flight
down there, and only when he got there is he

(01:16:06):
met with a statement from the Vice President and it says, no,
you cannot meet him unless you have a note from
your dad. Basically Trump's, you know, Trump and the Department's
going to sign off. And I thought that was that
was intentional, funny, nasty. And then he was threatening that
all the Democrats are going to go down there, which
I feel like probably now it's screwed up because they

(01:16:27):
gave him the meeting. I wanted this to happen so
that when they got down there, the White House could
identify a mystery respiratory illness of some sort, thus causing
the non repatriation of people by the country during a
brief pause that could extend the two years. So real
missed opportunity is my roundabout thing on this peak.

Speaker 3 (01:16:48):
Yeah, or just have them, you know, have the president Bouquela,
give him a tour of the prison and then you know,
just lose the keys as there would have been a
troll that would have been all but no. And did
you see that the president Yeah, he said, uh he
put out a tweet. O. Kaylee put out a tweet
that said, uh, this a Brego Garcia guy, miraculously risen

(01:17:11):
from the death camps and torture, now sipping Margarita's with
Senator Van Holland in the tropical paradise of El Salvador.

Speaker 1 (01:17:20):
Yeah, make it anywhere.

Speaker 3 (01:17:23):
Yeah, well, I kind of feel like that they may
have that they may have done themselves no favors on this. Uh,
Democrats in general, but specifically Risen Holland. I'm I'm pretty
sure we're going to see that photo of him dining
with a Brego Garcia at a hotel. So they did

(01:17:44):
let him out, apparently of the of the supermax prison
so they could enjoy a drink together, and then I
guess they put them back into the prison. But I
don't know, and I suspect we're going to see that
photo emerge on the campaign trail in the midterms and
in the next presidential race.

Speaker 1 (01:18:01):
I think they get there there because Van Holland got
on the ground. He's like, oh my gosh, look at
I'm in El Salvador. I'm not leaving the hotel. So
that's the way it works.

Speaker 3 (01:18:11):
Now it's safe. Now, it's safe now.

Speaker 7 (01:18:13):
You know it.

Speaker 1 (01:18:14):
And actually that is the from a number standpoint, that
is true because anyone, especially if you're a tourist, they
like in these countries, these vacation destination kind now that
El Salvador is, but like you get into the Bahamas
and those you get into like Jamaica. Yeah, places like that,
you can pretty much stab your fellow countrymen all you want.

(01:18:36):
I'm not this is not a hard and fast rule.
But now of course with you you you mess with
the tourists, the they'll rain hell fire down on you.

Speaker 3 (01:18:44):
Right. They need that inflow of cash. Yeah, yeah, that's
the that's the revenue generation machine for these countries.

Speaker 1 (01:18:51):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:18:51):
So it's like that's why they tell you don't leave
the grounds of the resort, you know, because once you
go outside the grounds of the resort, and then things
get a little dicey. But every you know, all the
criminals outside the resort, No, you don't go into the
resort because that's usually like a gang or a cartel
or the government will come and, yeah, rain hell fire
on you for doing that, because that would then create,

(01:19:13):
you know, the perception that it's no longer safe to
go vacation in that particular place. But I understand, like
I can understand different elements of these arguments regarding this case.
I don't agree with him, but I can understand the arguments.
The why I don't understand is this idea that he
should not have been deported. I understand the argument that

(01:19:36):
he should not have been deported to El Salvador. I
understand that argument because the judge literally said, don't send
him there.

Speaker 1 (01:19:43):
No, no, no. But really, let me just run this
by you and the devil's avocation, because to accept the
argument and the reason the one judge said that he
couldn't be deported El Salvador would require you to accept
the fact that he is, in fact an MS thirteen
gang member correct predicated on Barrio eighteen, a competing gang
correct wanting to murder this dude when he hit the ground.

(01:20:06):
So also more if he's our but he and his
lawyer are saying he's not a gang member, and so
if you take that face value, then the previous ruling
shouldn't have been made because it doesn't matter twenty two
for them, No, it doesn't matter.

Speaker 3 (01:20:20):
I don't think any of that matters because he got
he got his he got his first hearing. Hey, please
don't deport because remember the initial issue here is that
he is in the country illegally and that they found
permission evidence, even with the downplaying by his lawyer, which
now we have new information that has been coming out
over the last forty eight hours that does tie him
to MS thirteen. And so no, he faced due process.

(01:20:43):
He had his two you know, appearances, both judges said
deport him. Now where the administration messed up was they
sent him to El Salvador. I think the whole thing
can get solved, but just you should have sent then
Holland down there with a bus ticket and just drive
him across a border someplace, or we go down pick
him up and spam his soma.

Speaker 2 (01:21:00):
I don't know, Pe.

Speaker 1 (01:21:01):
We got to leave it there in your diabolical plane.
But we'll talk next week and we'll be right back.
Hold on, I'm still going to make fun of this dude,
but I'm not gonna make fun of him for the
reason you think I'm gonna make fun of him. And
that's the twist. Ross text you to the story. I
don't know if you had seen it there, but do
do all right, this is great man, bank robber, bank

(01:21:26):
robber captured in rock Hill with a cat on his back.
You got, yeah, yeah, I decided to go rob a
PNC bank and he had a backpack, but not a
regular backpack, because when I tell you there's a cat
and a backpacker, you're like, well, that's kind of mean
because the cat's probably not backpack's got to be going

(01:21:47):
one hundred miles an hour. But it's one of those
see through with the airhole things, the pet carrier backpacks,
so you can see the cat and the cat and
out the whole time.

Speaker 2 (01:21:55):
We just got one of those.

Speaker 1 (01:21:57):
Oh do you have one?

Speaker 2 (01:21:58):
So here's the deal, So we have two cats, right. Yeah.
Eleanor was left on the streets by herself and with
her kittens and stuff, and it was a horrible story. Yeah,
And she has no interest in ever leaving the house.
So when the door opens, she's like hell, She's like, Nope,
been there, done that. I'm going to stay inside this
nice house and enjoy my life. Elliott, we've had him

(01:22:21):
send as a kittenstic eater. This is the dumb cat,
and he's adorable, but he's an idiot. He loves boxes
right from Amazon and anything plastic. He wants to eat it.
But he's he's lovable, but he's dumb right inside cat
his whole life, his entire life. So every now and again,

(01:22:42):
when we come home, we'll open the door and he
likes to sneak past and run outside, and he sort
of flops outside, but then he gets out there, like
we're not really concerned about him running away. When he
does this, we'll pick him up and we'll put him back,
but we're not concerned because what he does is he
runs out like, oh, I'm outside, and then he chows
on the grass and he looks around like gona, oh,

(01:23:03):
but what what is going on? And he just freaks
out and he stays there because he's overwhelmed by it all.
So we pick him up and we put it back in.
So Marky brought this this backpack thing home a few
weeks or she ordered it. I was like, what is
this stupid thing? And she's like, she's like, it's for Elliott,
and I'm like, what do you mean. She goes, I'm
gonna put him on my back and I'm gonna gi

(01:23:23):
him a walk around the yard so we don't have
to worry about him being an idiot or running away
or getting hit by something or being attacked by something
because he's a moron. And we're like, oh okay. So
I'm like, let me see how this is gonna go.
So she puts it on her back and she puts
the cat in and he absolutely loves the thing. He
loves the thing and he's sitting there. So the fear
he has that when he you know, when he gets

(01:23:45):
in the grass and Ah is gone and he can
just relax in the back and he's nearest Marky, so
he knows he's he knows he's gonna be safe because
he has no you know, eleanor the other ca has
street smarts. He has no street smarts and he would
be devoured or gone money ice game, completely, yeah, completely,
So he just chills in the bag, looks around. She

(01:24:06):
goes for a walk, she gets quote her steps into
right around the backyard or whatever, gets some exercise, and
she comes in and he enjoys it.

Speaker 1 (01:24:13):
She has lady carrying a cat around in a backpack
in the backyard.

Speaker 2 (01:24:17):
It's our own property.

Speaker 1 (01:24:18):
Oh okay, I thought she was walking around the backyard.

Speaker 2 (01:24:22):
Just the backyard. He enjoys it. He absolutely loves it.
And I'm all right, whatever he enjoys, it's fine.

Speaker 1 (01:24:27):
Do you think this is a good use though, of
the backpack?

Speaker 2 (01:24:31):
I mean it's specifically made for that, like the air
holes and stuff.

Speaker 1 (01:24:34):
Right, No, no, no, but I mean taking the cat
then on your bank robbery adventure.

Speaker 2 (01:24:38):
Oh that no?

Speaker 1 (01:24:39):
Oh, well that's what I thought.

Speaker 2 (01:24:42):
Unless it's weaponized.

Speaker 1 (01:24:43):
Well, it doesn't have to be weaponized. I think it's
a deterurn cat. Right. So, if you're a law enforcement
officer in this day and age, right, what is the
term that we use for officers who may not choose
to engage in the same with the same level of
aggressiveness that they would have in the past, even in
their own detriment in some cases, remember, it's called the
Ferguson effect, right, where it's like, ah, so.

Speaker 2 (01:25:05):
Yeah, Yeah, you don't want to, right, you don't be
the guy that's going to be in the news, so
you just avoid it, all right.

Speaker 1 (01:25:09):
So you also don't want to be the guy that
shoots the bank robber but shoots the cat, you know
what I mean.

Speaker 2 (01:25:14):
Oh, it's like a human shield, but it's a cat.

Speaker 1 (01:25:16):
Yeah, dude, I was inspired by this. You know how
much a good set of body armor is, Like if
you wanted to recreate what happened in that North Hollywood
bank robbery, right, it's an ungodly summ of money. You
know how much? You know how much enough cats to
cover your body and shield your body as a weapons
defense system would.

Speaker 2 (01:25:35):
Cost three cats there, like a diamond dozen.

Speaker 1 (01:25:39):
Yeah exactly. You just go get the free cats because
you know they're just there so people don't shoot or
tase you.

Speaker 2 (01:25:46):
I was looking into the cost of templar armor.

Speaker 1 (01:25:49):
Okay, as most people do regularly.

Speaker 2 (01:25:52):
Yeah, I would know the market. I was in the
shower and I for some reason, my mind started wandering
and I'm like, you know, it would be really cool
to have some templar armor.

Speaker 1 (01:26:00):
That's for good ideas shtrike. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:26:02):
So I got out, you know, and I'm searching the
web and there's a company that sells templar quote templar
armor uh in England and it was like a good
whole body suit for like thirty six hundred pounds from
real templars. I don't think so, oh, but it was.
It was one size fits all and I only wear
tailored armor. Yeah, I mean, you know, because that's a

(01:26:23):
bad quatur. I believe it's the word rights pronouncing right.
But then then the tariffs, so now it's more expensive,
So I'm going to pass for now. But yeah, the
cats would be cheaper, yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:26:33):
One hundred and right. And then if you do get
a shootout and they're like, oh, I got a hold
in my armor, then you go get some more free
armor filler. Right, just catch the neighbors overwhelmed with the
kitten berths or go to the pound on the free day.
Nice sir, we need twelve cats. I didn't read the
article on this on on the on the show yesterday

(01:26:54):
that the article the email I got. Remember yesterday we
were talking about bunnies, Easter bunny stuff like that, and
so one off our listeners said that he used to
hang out with his grandpa right back in the day
and one day Grandpa says, hey, we're gonna go We're
gonna go get some We're gonna get some rabbits. And
there was a woman I guess in town. He was
advertising free rabbits. Because I don't know if you know this,

(01:27:16):
they tend to if you have two rabbits, you really
have one hundred rabbits. Just wait a minute. And so
Grandpa takes his grandson, who I firmly believe he took
the grandson to sell the woman on the story. It
switches diabolical as well, if I could just use that
word again today. And he says, his grandpa took him

(01:27:39):
to this lady's house explain to the woman that for
Easter he was wanting to give each of his grandchildren
a rabbit. And she saw the little boy there. She's like,
all right, this sounds like it's on the up and up.
So grandpa says, she said, well, how many grandkids do
you have? I believe it was ten or twelve, So
what the guy said, So the woman's like, all right,
here's ten or twelve rabbits for the for the kids,

(01:28:01):
for the grandkids. And then our emailer said that they
went back to Grandpa's place, and he started braining them,
skinning them and uh and basically, uh, he's just got
a bunch of free meat. And apparently it's stuck with
our our listener. But like, look at grandpa. The only
he had to drag the kid along to sell his

(01:28:21):
story was willing to do it. Man. So I'm just saying, right,
animals serve purposes in a lot of different ways, and
I think a body armor made out of cats. Plus
if they start all freaking out, it's like a massage chair.
He slipped through that pack. I'm assuming that they can't
pierce it. It looks like hard plastic. The cat's claws

(01:28:41):
are not going to come through that thing.

Speaker 2 (01:28:43):
Right, No, No, it can't go through.

Speaker 1 (01:28:44):
No, oh okay, we're perfect. There you go. So if
it just starts jumping around freaking out like cats do,
back massager free or cat body armor, and if it
couldn't get any worse, the story did so. When police
finally apprehended this dude, and they apprehended him because there
was a GPS tracker on the money and they realized

(01:29:08):
that the money was moving too fast to be on foot,
but too slow to be in a vehicle. And so
they immediately knew to find find Debo. Essentially, remember in
the movie Friday, wou a Debo drive that bicycle because
he stole it from the one dude? And so they
just went around. They looked for a dude with a backpack,
albeit one with a cat in it, riding a bicycle.

(01:29:31):
How many in rock Hill, South Carolina? How many people
do you think you encounter on the daily in rock Hill,
South Carolina with a cat in a back He threw
backpack riding a bicycle like that can't be common, right,
even a rock hill it can't be common. Though, when
confronted by police, this is crazy. He decided he wasn't

(01:29:54):
going to go quietly, not him and his cat. So
he jumps off the bike. He's got a nine millimeter pistol.
Deputy's immediately demand he dropped the weapon, but he then
started to move towards a more populated area, which is,
you know, nightmare scenario for police. And at that point
they said, all right, we're gonna use deadly force. So

(01:30:16):
the officer fired, struck him in the gun hand, which
for you gun grabbers, I keep hearing every time there's
an officer involved shooting there's always some nit with's like,
why didn't you shoot him in the hand, Well, you
got your dream, you got your dream. I don't think
it was intentional, but it happened, which caused him to
drop the nine millimeter. The problem was, apparently the dude's

(01:30:38):
a bit of an ambidextrious criminal, allegedly because, according to police,
upon dropping the weapon, because they just shot his gun hand,
he used the other hand to pull out a Filipino
fighting knife, which is not a thing. I knew was
a thing, but now I know is a thing. And
it struck a martial arts post. It was with a

(01:31:00):
Filipino fighting knife. And from there it was he's already injured.
They hit him with some tasers, so he lived and
all of that. But what happens to Shea the cat?
That was the cat's name, Shia. I don't know, but
now I want my full cat body armor, all right.
Jeff Barr from the Weather Channel, he's here. Oh, and

(01:31:20):
he told police the reason they came to South Carolina
was to quote find other people to do a unity rally,
but he couldn't explain what unity he was looking for,
so that story fell apart. Some guy robbed a bank
with a cat in one of those sea through plastic
cat carriers on his back, and people think it's cute,
and I think he was using the cat as a deterrent.
So police didn't shoot him because I didn't want to
be the copy shot a cat.

Speaker 8 (01:31:40):
What do you think, Jeff, Yeah, that's a pretty interesting
story for sure.

Speaker 1 (01:31:45):
Hey, South Carolina's got some gems, man, They're kind of
like our version of Florida here in the Carolina. So
speaking of the Carolinas, what are we in store for
this weekend?

Speaker 8 (01:31:54):
Dry weather, warm temperatures, that's the story, because we've got
a big ridge of high pressure in the western Atlantic
that will dominate the weather pattern. So today up to
eighty three with sunshine at times gusty wins out of
the south. The load tonight down to sixty one under
a clear sky will be an even a warmer Saturday
to begin the week, sunny and wendy Tomorrow up to
eighty nine, clouds moving Tomorrow night was still dry with
a load down to sixty four, and then a warm

(01:32:15):
easter on Sunday with a mix of clouds and sunshine
to hide your eighty eight after a dry Monday. While
the shot for some much needed a rainfall. Heading from
Tuesday into Wednesday and Thursday.

Speaker 1 (01:32:25):
Okay, we'll have a good weekend, sir, and I guess
we'll talk a week from now. We will have a
great day, sure duties. Then all right, thank you, and
we come back. Normally we chat with Jeff Bellinger, but
we don't because the markets aren't open today because it's
good Friday. So I got a couple more stories we'll
slip in coming up here on the CaCO Day radio program.

(01:32:46):
And as you were a child, a young child of
the eighties and into the nineties, for your middle school,
high school kind of stuff, like you shared a lot
of the same fears and understanding and then they weren't
necessarily all valid. But like, look, if you were a
Cold War kid, you thought death was coming from Russia, right,
death from above. Here comes the nukes. So you'd go

(01:33:08):
through all the drills, you'd watch the weird hey if
you get under your desk, the nuke can't hurt you videos,
which are obviously insane, but that's what you lived in
fear of. For Ross and I was different, and but
one of the leading things I think our generation had
beat into their head because there were so many references

(01:33:29):
in like cartoons and movies, and and that was that
at any given day, on any given day, in any
given place, at a moment's notice, with the quickness it
takes to turn a one page and a Choose your
Own Adventure book, you could die via quicksand Ross, did
you have an unreasonable concern that quicksand could you know

(01:33:52):
kill you?

Speaker 2 (01:33:53):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (01:33:53):
Completely, yes, yes, yeah, it was. It was a thing
in all the things it was. It was almost a trope,
if you want to call it that. You just assume
the quicksand and I and and and then I made
it through my whole childhood, and I don't remember any
story of quicksand attacking people, So maybe the fear was
a little unfounded. However, uh, Michigan has been making up

(01:34:15):
for time. So now this is the second story in
what like six months now, maybe less than that, where
people in Michigan got sucked into quicksand and I want
to know what the hell's going on in Michigan. First,
why were you hoarding all the quicksand I assumed that
it was around the corner in Wyoming, never experienced it, right,

(01:34:36):
Because proximity is also part of the fear, and as
it was portrayed in all these shows and movies, it
could happen to you anywhere, at any time.

Speaker 2 (01:34:43):
Indiana Jones, Yeah, cartoons, remember it being on an episode
of mc guiver once, like everything, yeah, everywhere.

Speaker 1 (01:34:51):
It was such a lazy device too, from a Guiver perspective,
like what if he used sand to build a Pulley system? Okay,
all right.

Speaker 2 (01:35:02):
Whatever, but yeah, yeah, he told me the story off
air my before we even talked about it. My reaction was, yes,
it's finally happening, finally.

Speaker 1 (01:35:11):
A little bit. This is fair. They got rescued, although
the last guy that this guy. So first it was
a couple in Michigan and then now they got this dude.
And I'm not picking on the dude, but like, bro,
you look like you're pushing three bills. Like I understand
when the quicksand came for you, maybe it wasn't even

(01:35:31):
quicksand before you stepped there? What what?

Speaker 2 (01:35:36):
I just created a sinkhole? Yeah?

Speaker 1 (01:35:39):
No, oh, this could happen to anybody. And you see
the rescue were getting ready to throw them a cable.
He's like, that really doesn't happen to anybody.

Speaker 2 (01:35:45):
I feel like this is another instance or scenario where
gen X is going to be overly prepared for a
catastrophic situation.

Speaker 1 (01:35:53):
We have a big, non venomous red Yeah, oh are
you carrying it? Why do you carry that bob stricter
everywhere you go? Quick? Sand, I'd be worth it watching
their face just to tell them the reason. So they
had to process it.

Speaker 2 (01:36:09):
And gen Z have no idea what's going on because
they've never even heard of it, because it's not me, yea,
what is going on? We don't know. We're like, it's
quick saying, bro, come on.

Speaker 1 (01:36:18):
So all right, gen Z doesn't survive to survive the
Quicksand do you think they are aware of the fire
swamp at all?

Speaker 2 (01:36:26):
I think some of the more culturally aware ones are. Yeah. Yeah,
there's got to be some of them that are aware
of the.

Speaker 1 (01:36:32):
References of unusual size, Like when's the last time you
worried about rodents of unusual size? If you're twenty something
right now, probably never remember. You're the generation that thought
pizza rat was cute and not literally how half of
Europe died
