get I get uh like uh,and it's it's like an industry email.
So and then in it they havelittle fun facts so you know, to

(01:10):
con talk radio guys into reading it, so you can also try to get
them to, I don't know,pay attention to your publication whatever. And
at the top I always glance atit because I'll see it in my inbox.
Even if I don't give it ascroll, it has like what is
today's celebration day? And uh Ijust saw this reload my email, so

(01:32):
ross it is National Shrimp Day,all right? I like shrimp. Oh
little little garlic butter actually sounds prettygood right now? Yes, for breakfast,
what of it? But it's alsogive Sharks a Voice Day. What
a horrible idea. I don't knowanything about your organization and how you got

(01:56):
this, as you know, somebodysomewhere to recognize the proclaly. What the
hell is give sharks a voice stake? Can you imagine how much more terrifying
that would be? Did you seethe video this week of the guy who's
out he's in a fishing kayak,puttsing around and he sees you know,
by the way, I love thosekayaks, especially the ones with the petals
all those are. They're fantastic,especially if you're you're fishing like in you

(02:23):
know, way in the middle ofnowhere and you need to, like if
you need to portage stuff, youknow, between lakes, like up to
the Boundary Waters in Minnesota or wehave you know, chain of Lakes,
the Seven Sisters up in Wyaoming,where I grew up. And you gotta
kind of gotta be able to pickyour boat up, move it if you
really want to get it. Ithink they're great. You're also right at

(02:45):
water level, and that's fresh water. This dude's in the ocean and he
sees this giant shadow move under him, and so he's filming. I don't
know if he knows it's a sharkyet. Maybe it's a dull bab,
it's a I don't know, maybeit's a baby whale and there's nothing.

(03:05):
Oh my god, here comes Andthen I retweeted this video just a couple
of days ago, I think.But and you see firsthand what it looks
like when a shark decides you're ameal. The speed at which because it's
going away from him, and thenwithin a half second, it has its
entire mouth. Yes it's that bigon the side of the kayak. And

(03:31):
then it's like, oh, Igot fooled, and then you know,
dives back into the ocean. Wasit a move for plastic that day?
And like I I I have tohold out to see. Excuse me,

(03:51):
I had this? I got toif that was my kayak? Well not
if it was mine, I'd befine, But for most people, you're
hitting that with a pressure washer whenyou get home. Holy crap. Now,
imagine that thing could trash talk youtoo. So but maybe that's not
what it means. I don't careenough to look. I just want to
go to this. Did you guyssee the Ohio State University commencement speaker?

(04:16):
All right? I saw even ifyou didn't see the whole let me explain
to you why college graduation season isa blessing and a curse. Okay,
it's a blessing because somebody will getup there, they'll have an approved speech

(04:43):
or whatever, and then they'll getup and they'll be like, you know,
I don't know, pledging allegiance toHamas, I don't know whatever whatever
the flavor of the week is,or they have their climate protester moonbat buddies
throw soup on them, which there'san idea for you guys, And then
you know that insanity and ends upa little story, a little cut.
Hey, look at these idiots.So I saw that people were like,

(05:09):
oh my gosh, this Ohio StateUniversity commencement speaker worst ever. But I
didn't see them assigning any like politicalmotive or that there was any like he
was dragged off stage by officials oranything, just that it was. It
was super weird, and so Igave it a I watched the first few

(05:32):
minutes and when he started awkwardly tryingto lead the twenty thousand people at the
Ohio State I refuse to emphasize thethe you can all deal at Ohio State
University, and it wasn't going well. I'm like, I'm out, dude,

(05:55):
dude thinks he's cute, coupled withI don't know, maybe he's kind
of nerve. I did twenty twentythousand people staring at you. So the
guy who gave it was he's he'sin his mid forties. So this is
important because I thought when they sayit was commencement speaker, I didn't realize.
I thought he was one of thestudent ones at first, and then

(06:18):
because he I mean, obviously helooks old to the students. But that's
what I thought at first, whichis why I didn't have any interest.
But when I gave it the firstfive minutes, I realized, Okay,
well, this guy's the past grad. He mentions it, but still he
is a social entrepreneur too, Sothat's things that started getting weird. Well,

(06:44):
they ended up booing him, buthe got his he got his speech
in. Okay, I said,twenty thousand and seventy thousand, excuse me?
Then I read this all right,here we go a quote misunderstood.

(07:06):
Ohio State commencement speaker defends viral speechhe says he wrote while on Aihuasca did
not expect the booze. All right, So so wait a second, now,
now this and you're not looking atthis as as an l I understand.

(07:30):
You gotta have you gotta have,you know, the thick skin you
want to I want to make sureyou I just realized it put an error
in there. How long it ross? How long after you post something on
on Twitter? If you have thepro the premium account, can you go
back and fix it before it's permanent? What's that window? I want to

(07:50):
say, like a few minutes.I'm not exactly sure what it is because
whenever I use it, it's likea media it's like, oh, spelling
error undue super fast. I've nevertried to do it after like five minutes,
like two, because then I'm like, I want to say two or
three minutes, because there's another.There's nothing worse than uh, you know,

(08:11):
I'll tell you, he'll I'll writeanother. Worst in posting it,
Yeah, okay, there's nothing worsethan posting it and then realize it's an
air and then having to decide thatyou're going to like delete it or not
because the algorithm. Right, yeah, right, so look, I'll just
do it now. So I'm rightin whoopsie post. I wonder how long

(08:37):
I have you spelled whoop these sixtysix sixty minutes? You have a whole
hour? Yeah, because you youmisspelled whoopsie. It says Casey is a
serial killer? So is that howis I don't think that's how that's spelled.
Oh wow, okay, yeah,I would have saved my behind.
All right, I'll fix that.I tweeted something before the show in the
Ohio State. But anyways, soyeah, so dude's up there. Everyone

(09:01):
hates what's going on. I'm notgonna I'm not gonna play it for you.
It's like because it's a full onwhatever. But you know, as
far as commencement speeches, go OhioState Big University probably could get alumni whatever
dude is. Now it makes sensebecause like he's so it's it was like

(09:28):
a Biden speech, but where yourealize, dudes, probably you know what
I'm saying, so and and andbut it was awkward rather than hyper political.
Except now I'm upset because sometimes yougot to know when to take your
medicine. Okay, you gotta noone to take the l And I understand

(09:50):
they'll tell, well, if he'syou know, he's an entrepreneur, that's
fine, influencer, entrepreneur, whatever. I'm not in a beef. If
he's if he's making a work forhim, that's fine. That being said,
not everything works. And the worstattitude that you can have, with

(10:11):
very few exceptions like Galileo. Allright, and you'll understand what I mean
in to say, the worst attitudeyou can have is it's not me,
it's literally everybody else. And I, uh yeah, no, he said,

(10:31):
I quote am the most misunderstood personat one point. Oh and the
really one. You want the boyto start uh ross towards the end of
the speech, and they're already anoyedwith this. Dude, do you know
what he did? Started shillin bitcoin? He went, he went, he
wanted to convert all everyone, uhto crypto. No, I was busy

(10:52):
doing something here. Did you sayhe gave the speech while high in Iahuasca
or he wrote the speech. Heclaims he wrote it while hi. Some
people are wondering and he didn't goback once he was sober and look at
that and say, man, Ishouldn't do this. Have you ever like
I don't. Yes, I've heard, I know exactly where this is going.
I I've heard this has happened before. There's certain people in their youth,
like they would get like, youknow, high is a kite or

(11:13):
drunk or whatever and white stuff andthen be like, this is the most
important thing ever written. Right,This is like so deep and so real,
And then you're looking smoking weed whateverelse, And you look at it
the next day and you're like,what is this gibberish? What was it?
Like? What was a new languagewriting? Yeah, like you don't
even know what you wrote. You'relike, what is this makes no sense?

(11:35):
This is not a sentence. Butwhile you're writing it, Hi is
the kite, you're like, thisis a great you know, I'm Hunter
Thompson, I'm writing I'm writing thegreat American novel. And the next day
you're like, no, this isn'teven English. Yeah, well college this
is college graduate. Went back andlooked at and said, maybe I shouldn't
change some of this. There isa college graduate with some yours under his
belt and is in the communications business, and said, I wrote it I

(11:58):
on Hyahuascar, and I decided let'sgo ahead and do this thing. The
crypto stuff that was that was hisown thing. I guess to try to
save the speech because if there's onething that all these parents at the what
don't you want to look if youwhen you go to an event, right,
don't you want to be don't youwant to have people start explaining crypto

(12:20):
and finite dea say, so I'mup there and I'm like, I'm the
most persecuted person ever exists on Earth, and you need to invest in ross
coin. Yeah, oh wait,no, we're not going to show ross
coin. That's not happening today,not after what the SEC letter said.
Uh the he said that he defendedexcuse me, he defended his insane address

(12:43):
and using the hallucinogenic to help himwrite it, while admitting the jeers from
his bitcoin portion was hard to digestand caught him off guard. So not
only did dude go, hey,you know, they really need to hear
about his doge coin or whatever.And he said he doesn't understand why they

(13:07):
would like because I don't know.They just paid like two hundred thousand dollars
or whatever. I don't know whatit costs go to I mean it's a
state school, so I guess itdepends where you're from. But they just
paid a really nice car up toa house to educate their kid, and
you know, traveled in from whereverthey traveled into they're having they're at.

(13:31):
They're already having to go to anevent where there's seventy thousand people, which
if that's not like a professional sportingevent, you're not getting me there,
and they've just had to watch youessentially crap over everything because you wanted.
You're in your mid forties and youwant to write a speech while you were
stoned and hallucinating, and then whenthat doesn't work, you start lecturing them

(13:54):
on crypto. How are you surprisedby that? And again it's this attitude
you got to ask yourself and Ilook, it's hard to do. Admittedly,
am I wrong? Or is absolutelyeverybody else wrong? And when you
find yourself in that situation. Youhave to reflect on what it is.

(14:16):
What is the thing that is thatyou believe you are correct on and everyone
else believes you're not. And ifthat thing is, hey, I'm pretty
sure we rotate around the sun andnot the other way around. Like those
you know, those are milestone moments. Those are you know, those are

(14:39):
the ones that are going to liveon in history. Man, this isn't
that so awful? Oh I'd neverbeen booed by seventy thousand people. It's
not a good feeling. Well,I imagine not, although I will tell
you this or eventually it just kindof blends into the you have to.

(15:01):
You just gotta let it blend in. But that doesn't mean you don't you
don't take something from it. Hesaid, what was I gonna do?
Start crying? I mean, dovewalk off the stage? I mean that
would have been dramatic too. No, wrap up your speech and then even
if you don't want to just belike I'm an idiot, just be like

(15:22):
on social media, go I'm I'mkind of an idiot, but I'm also
kind of an idiot, and Igot nervous, or you know, say
something. People will move on.But you coming out and going, no,
they're the ones that are wrong.That's a horrible attitude. And I
know you're in your mid forties,you're doing your thing, but that attitude,
man, is one that is seenby people as stereotypical of younger generations,

(15:45):
not just this one, but alwaysright. You know, it's it's
that great cycle. And but tofor you to do it with such reckless
abandon and then not apologize for itor at least recognize it, and then
conveyed all these students, Hey,you know what, you know what you
want to do when you're wrong?Double down? Baby? Yeah, absolutely,
it's not you, it's everybody else. That attitude is cancer in a

(16:07):
workplace. So yeah, sorry,sorry, bro, I was just gonna
ignore it. But now there yougo, entire segment on what a tool
you are. All right, we'llbe back hang on. Yeah, hey,
Ross, did you just see theproduct there? So I was doing
a little research on this Ohio statespeaker. I I when they said he

(16:30):
is a social entrepreneur. I tookthat to think that it was purely endorsement
stuff, but no, he hasa company. And then in the in
promoting it, that's when he kindof he got the following. He's one
of these positivity dudes kind of sowhat does he make the He makes motivational

(16:53):
bracelets. You can do it andby the way, their top seller.
It looks exactly like the one myfive year old niece made me out of
a washer and some some random stringor you get it. It's like it's
like a washer engraved with like ablack wire forming the bracelet. It's not

(17:17):
even like a friendship bracelet. Itlooks like it looks like it's it's lead.
For those of you who fish,it looks like, uh, it
looks like it's like lead you'd getif you were fishing for some with teeth.
And then yeah, it is abrace He's put it around your and
then he put your word on thereand you can be like, I'm a
good person. That's what he sells. And then I guess he shills them

(17:40):
to corporate events because he says hewas criticized in Ohio State said, look,
you know that I speak to corporateand so the speech I gave,
while crazy as hell, that's kindof how I do it. And I'm
like, I'll bet you don't doit more than once at a company.
Oh how that that is the bestOhio Ohio State could get from an alumni

(18:03):
commencement speaker. A dude who makesbracelets out of scraps in a in a
workshop. What you get what youpaid for? And I'm sorry again,
I had no beef with this dude. And tell now I'm reading this stuff
here because like he was, hewas making him do sing alongs. He
made him stand up or told himto stand up. Most of them didn't

(18:26):
to do so he could teach themnavy seal breathing exercises. And he then
did a magic trick not well inmy dad before he went launched into the
crypto stuff. It's all you gottado is just be like, yeah,
yeah, that was dumb. Likethere's a lot of good motivational speakers you
can find in YouTube, like LesBrown is a famous one. Yes,

(18:48):
he's fantastic, right, and yousee these guys if you're looking for like
is that sort of motivation? Butthis is this is coming across as like
as like a poverty Mick Foley,right, any Asian dude so or I
don't know, kind doesn't look anythinglike Chris Farley, but same concept.
Yes, but he's hiding a kiteliving on a van down by the river.

(19:10):
Iyohasca. Yeah, but he hasa bracelet that says it's okay to
live in a van down by theriver. If you dream it, you
can achieve it. Buy my Tshirt. I'm going to make that a
T shirt right now. So waita second, chilled, you just shilled
crypto and now you're making Yeah,but I'm doing it as like it's ironical.
I'm doing as like a joke.Oh well that it's okay, completely

(19:32):
different. I got you. Igot you because I don't believe what I'm
writing. Yeah. So this dude, I was just reading some more of
his quotes and he just like hedeserves everything he gets. Let's see here,
Hold on, where's the quote Ijust read Ross It's so bad?
Uh yeah, he said, uhhe this is his normal style as he

(19:55):
speaks to corporate workers. But he'schilling his bracelets. I guess, can
you imagine being the duke? Iguess in a way, you got to
respect it. This is a guywho looked at remember those those hack motivational
posters you see around HR rooms,right, Yeah, we used to have
a bunch the frog and all that. Because and this guy went that's not
stupid enough and soul sucking enough ina corporate environment. Let me make my

(20:21):
brand it. So, I meanhe monetized, well, he monetized that
in a different way. He thenwent on to say, I am the
most understood person right now in theworld. And it's okay because people will
eventually understand. So remember that Galileothing. He thinks he's Galileo. Yeah,
I don't. I know he's lockedup in the tower because he's so

(20:42):
smart. Oh no, what's thepope gonna do to him? Do we
know? All right? Hold on, because the second line is where it
really you can get the full breadthof the ego here. I do it
for creativity, referring to the psychedelicsand all that stuff, as well as
for healing. Uh. And thenhe went on to compare himself. He

(21:03):
says, John Lennon, Steve Jobs, they all work this way to fuel
their creativity. Okay, yeah,and then you know what, you know
what Lennon did with it? Ross, go on, go on, iHeart
the iHeart app and then type JohnLennon in and see if there's anything there.

(21:27):
Ross is gonna look real, Yes, there is, Oh tons of
stuff yeah, yeah, that's prettyfamous. Apparently like just one one hit
one not it goes back decades here. Yeah, does he have a is
he touring? Do we have he'snot? He passed away? Oh unfortunately?
All right, did we confirm thatit's been confirmed yet? Yeah?

(21:48):
Concur uh Steve Jobs? Would youdo you see if he if he did
anything, if he made product?How do is that like s T E
P H or s T E VE the the the v the like the
idiot immigration lady yesterday in Denver?Yeah all right? And and jobs like
job but with an S. Yeahyeah, okay, reading the Book of

(22:10):
Job twice okay, yeah, okay, so plural job yes, right,
okay, yeah, yeah there's there. Yeah, there's a Steve Steve Jobs.
I see it. Oh wow,okay. And what did he make?
Ah? Man, he's he's madea bunch of stuff, all the
stuff. And this dude made abracelet that says you can do it.
I believe Steve Jobs made the thingwhere you can order the bracelet that says

(22:33):
the thing. Is he touring?We know Steve Jobs? Yeah he also
passed away. Yeah, very sad. He gave a favorite famous commencement speech,
though, he is like that guyhe did very famous one. Yeah,
you can see it's also motivational onYouTube. Yeah, and everyone hated
it, right, No, peoplethought it was fantastic. Oh wow,

(22:55):
it's weird. Okay, what didhe have him sing? You know?
Don't I think there was a songdid he have did he do? It
looks like he had them sing imagineoh by that John lennont know he didn't.
Yeah, that would be amazing.But yeah, in my wildest dreams,
I didn't think and it was inthe realm of possibility. Did not
occur to me that they would notget it, because again, it's not

(23:18):
him, it's all the rest ofyou, everybody else. Dude. Man,
oh that is so cringey. Allyou had to do was shut up,
and now everyone's gonna talk about youagain. And maybe he's like,
great, I'm gonna sell more bracelets. Oh ross, you want a custom
slat bracelet with a motivational message orthe dangerous Oh that's that is a good

(23:44):
point. Oh it's not an Yousaid it was an Etsy shop. He
sells on Insta. Okay, Ididn't know that that they had Instagram shops,
but I also not on the installall right, Well, there you
go. That's that's probably not whatyou're expecting to hear this morning. But

(24:06):
I think, I think once youunderstand the totalent here, here's the problem.
On one level, it's what adumb speech. But again I don't
know. Sometimes things just go alittle sideways. But now that I know
he's got experience and he meant todo all that stuff, and his attitude
is it's not me, it's allof you. When it's when it's when

(24:26):
it's clearly you, bro, youdeserve everything you get. So we're happy.
We're happy to give you the minutes. Okay, all right? Coming
up on the show, Oh mygosh, Ashville. Oh and I referen
you know what, let me dothis ross? Will you put the cause
I played it right at the endof the show. Will you put the
Denver audio up again for our earlylisteners because I actually wanted to hit that

(24:49):
earlier yesterday and then I didn't hitit till the last segment. And I
just mentioned the immigration lady named vin Denver, and if you missed it,
it's a doozy. So here's thehere's the gist, real quick,
lady immigrants, she's talking to theFox affiliate or whatever in Denver, and

(25:12):
she is now, I guess,the spokesperson for the the migrant camp there
right where they you know where theyshipped them up to Denver because Denver lotsh
sanctuary city, all right. Soshe's over there in a tent city under
an overpass, and the city ofDenver has literally been doing everything up to

(25:37):
it, including firing parts and defundingparts of the city budget and employees to
pay for this, while screaming bloodymurder over it. And now they want
they have a problem with this bigten city and they're trying to move them
literally to an indoor thing. Andsomehow this activist who is not a migrant,

(25:57):
she is one hundred percent every granolawhite liberal hates her, you know,
self loathing Moon Bad, activist Moonbad, who has stuck her nose in
this and she has, she said, caused a little bit of a hitch

(26:18):
owing. By the way, atthe at the camp, they're flying Palestinian
flags. And you'll understand why herein a moment, here is the audio
from yesterday. Let this sink inthe camp as a collective came up with
a list of demands. By theway, I will let me explain something
to you. If you're a migrantthat just walked two thousand miles, you
don't do it. And then quoteform a collective, right you don't you

(26:44):
you don't speak in language. Well, it is a collective. It's a
community. No no, no,no, no no no, because where
you just see where they're going,this is, this is She should have
used the word commune. Okay,but anyway, since you now essentially hijacked
this thing, I'll allow you tocontinue. That came after a petition by
city officials for migrants to move fromthis encampment near train tracks under a bridge

(27:10):
to indoor shelters funded by the city. This morning, they sent buses to
take people over without presenting that documentand without having any kind of signature for
accountability that So, so I wantto I want you to understand what happened
there. So she walked in theresaid I'm your savior, and they want

(27:32):
to move you from your raggedy asstents out here in the Rocky Mountains camping
outside in Maine. As I pointedout, as somebody grew up in the
Rocky Mountains, there could be fivefeet of snow tomorrow there. It's we
get snow into May. Looking up. Denver just had a bad May snowstorm
last year. So when you havea bunch of kids, you have a

(27:55):
bunch of people living there, anyou couple it with you. I promise
you you ain't done with easing temptsin Denver before they hit summer. There'll
be one or two more nights ofthat. It just it's the elevation.
There's nothing you could do about it. And so the city, even with
all that insanity, has indoor temperaturecontrolled places, and you have convinced them

(28:18):
that they should not go to thatplace unless your list of demands is met.
I mean, I'm gonna make funof her a little more. But
then we got to talk about theserious side of this. Migrant advocate V
Reeves says, the city, bythe way, your name is not just
the letter V, or maybe itis. I don't know. There's some

(28:40):
weirdos in Colorado responded with, insteadof meeting the migrants' demands, we've been
offering time in shelter, basically,just trying to get families to leave that
camp and come inside. John Ewing, all right, hang on, and
you know what this is. Inthe similarities to what's going on in campus
or not. There's you don't havenobody nobody walked to that camp from Guatemala

(29:03):
with a Palestinian flag. I wasjust thinking that, right, this is
another symptom of like a crazy whiteprogressive woman who's making something even worse.
Right, he said, you're notgonna drag your your your family through the
desert, right? Risk that orlike being smuggled by a coyote where you
don't know if they're gonna murder youwhen you're done or leave you for dead,
and you get to where you're supposedto go and then you hang up
a Palestinian flag. That never happened. That's ridiculous. They don't they don't

(29:26):
care about Palestine. I'm sorry totell you. They don't think. You
don't think that that woman with thethree kids that you see in the opening,
they're the little little kids, right. I think they have more important
matters at Hay and then the thanthe freedom of a fictional state called Palestine.
I don't think that that ever happened. All they had to do was
sign and they would stop harming thesepeople. And it's the same attitude,
you know what, it is,same attitude with a hunger strike check right,

(29:48):
She's like, oh my gosh,I'm gonna die from starvation if only
they would just acquiesce to what Iwant. And everyone is like, I
don't know what you eat something.Also, I don't think you're starving.
But that how insane is that I'mgoing to keep poking myself with this knife
ross unless you agree to these tenthings and there's no deviation. Why why
must you keep me getting poked witha knife? And a are you doing

(30:11):
it? And once again, right, I'm the guy in the meme standing
up in the meeting saying I don'tcare. Yeah, have fun, stab
on yourself, buddy. Yeah,well in this here's why I slightly care
here and you know, don't callscream with the parents made this say I
understand it, but it is whatit is right now and as again as
somebody who my birthday, I'm notgonna tell you what it is, but

(30:34):
is in the month of May,I would have snow. We'd have snow
on our property, at least aportion of the property most years. Now
this is a little lower, butstill, and you have kids and you've
convinced them not to get on abus to go someplace where the city has
already carved out millions of dollars toat least heat cool and feed them,

(30:56):
if only for the kids, andyou you have convinced them otherwise you realize
somebody literally could die of exposure.And I don't mean that as a joke.
It is. It is one ofthe ways that when you get into
a cold weather climate, but morespecifically into a climate like in the mountains
where you don't have as much humidity, and it becomes harder to tell the

(31:18):
temperature differential the number of people whowill dive from exposure because they miscalculate what
it is that they have to do. It's a thing, okay, and
you're making it more likely you lunit to Denver. Human Services says shelter
comes with its perks, namely gettingout of these conditions outdoors, which comes

(31:41):
with you know, three square mealsa day. You can cook your own
if you'd like to. That isone of the main demands by these migrants
who have had their grievances in thepast about the food provided by the city.
There have been so many complaints aboutthe food being spoiled or not being
enough, and malnutrition amongst children.Migrants who do stay in shelters are off
can put on a path toward awork permit. By the way, I

(32:01):
have to pause this because I hearthe same the same argument, they're giving
them spoiled food. They're giving themspoil food. No, you're being provided
food. You're being provided food forthat is beyond a best by date.
And uh if if you think thatanyone or best is their best fresh date,

(32:25):
right, not the it's bad,but there and there is a window
there, and I'll see these theseactivists like, oh, they gave us
rotten food. And it's like thefood hill, the fresh the fresh by
date on it says May fifth,and you have it less than a week
late. It's fine. And Idon't know, if you're sitting down,

(32:45):
why don't you ask military folk aboutthat. I think they have some thoughts
on that fresh by date. Ifeel like they're not being tortured. But
yeah, this lunatic could kill somebody. All right, we'll be back thought
exercise for you, and uh let'sstart here. Raise your hand. You
can just I don't assume you did, uh if back in your day and

(33:08):
back in my day, but backin your day, things were a little
looser when it came to what childrencould actually do, right, Like I
I'm people raise their kids. You'renot, you know, sticking them with

(33:28):
a fire poker. It's that's fine, do your thing. But but like
I know people whose kids aren't allowedto even walk around the neighborhood that will
be driving in a few years,well maybe not quite a few years.
How old is the one is theeight they don't live they don't live here,
so and he never listens, butlike they're eight year old is not

(33:52):
allowed to like walk around their neighborhood. And let me tell you, the
neighborhood they live in is gated.Well, I don't know, man,
I was in the woods at eight. When I was twelve, me and
my buddies could go camping in thewoods. And I don't mean a little
patch of woods behind the house rightwhere you can kind of if you get

(34:15):
up on the second floor you kindof see what they're still up to.
I mean, like we'd walk pastthe trail heads into a place to go
camping at twelve. It's become likea gen X meme, right that we
have we had more freedom. Obviouslywe're from different parts of the country,
right, so you'd have the outdoors. We had like a similar thing where

(34:36):
we would just get a dangerous place. Yeah. No, we would just
get in our bikes and I'm goingto be back, and you'd be like,
all right, we'll get back,you know, be back by dinner
or whatever. And I remember likewalking home from school there was a big
abandoned factory that was like half onthis half. It took up like half
the block. It was this ginormous, big decrepit like factory. And we
would go like squeeze ourselves through thechain link fence with the barbed wire on

(35:00):
top to take a shortcut to gethome through the old apended factory like an
old like you know what I mean, it's like didn't even think about it.
And now we'll be we'll be drivingalong and we'll see kids like probably
around that age eight, nine,ten, maybe early teens, walking by
themselves and you know, be like, oh my god, where their parents
can't believe they're walking out by themselves. It's it's wild. So with that

(35:23):
in mind, this grandfather who isis is gonna get charged because he made
a decision and it is definitely onethat's probably not gonna fly today. But
what's the guy to do. SoGrandpa's with his grandkid who's seven, and
he needed a little break, right. Apparently, me ma wasn't there to

(35:47):
hand the kid off too, sohe hired a babysitter and was arrested for
hiring a babysitter so he could godrink at the bar for four hours.
For hiring babysitter, he got arrested. Now, now, if I'm telling
you this story, you're going,what else is there? And there's one

(36:07):
small other little thing about who thebabysitter is. No, the babysitter is
not an eight year old, right, that's what you thought was coming.
The babysitter in this case is verymuch an adult and also is a random
homeless woman that he encountered while walkingto the bar and paid twenty dollars to

(36:30):
watch his kid for his grandkid.Now, is it like a completely new
homeless person, Like you're going tothe bar and you're like, I've never
seen this homeless person before. Areyou familiar with the homeless person? Okay,
all right, so they're a differentdebate That is a up that is
debated because she claims they don't reallyknow each other. He says they do,

(36:51):
and when she says not really,I don't know what that means.
So there's a you know, there'sa weird, mushy middle there, right,
because there's different sorts of homeless people. Right. There's kind that you're
like, I'm not turning my backon you because you could possibly stab me.
You look crazy, stop asking mefor bus money. And then there's
like, oh, there's Bob thatI see every Friday, you know,
silent Bob. I don't know,at the corner of the drug store or

(37:12):
whatever or the gas station. Right, which one is his homeless vets signed?
I kind of sounds like the secondone, it sounds like they didn't
nothing wrong. Well, but didhe know that she wasn't a lunatic who
was going to stab his grandkid witha needle or something like? That's what
I think. That's where the policeare hung up on. But like he

(37:37):
like, every option is a loserfor him. Yeah, you don't get
a sitter, You're going to prison. Get a sitter, you're going to
prison. And I know what you'resaying, Like, there's what you're you're
leaving one out and you're right,Yeah, you can't take the kid to
the bar either, right, Imean some bars you can if their bar
restaurants. But if he needs abreak, dead it, you know,
grandpa needs a break and uh,you know it's like a homeless person then

(38:00):
took the kid to a bum fight. Although that would be amazing probably if
your seven year old boy. Instead, she actually was given instructions. So
the woman confirmed that the grandfather paidher twenty dollars to watch the girl and
then gave her some another twenty dollarsto take the girl to the thrift store

(38:23):
to go shopping. Oh so it'sa I'm sorry granddaughter. Still, she
probably wants to watch a bum fight. So also, it doesn't sound like
grandma's around, and if she is, he's gonna be dead anyway when he
gets home. It doesn't sund likeshe is. Maybe he just wanted his
granddaughter. Look is the great Isyour grandfather the best person to take a

(38:45):
young woman shopping for clothes and stuff? Probably not if you want to be
fashionableague walking out there with some dunggrees or whatever. Yeah, like that
does that work? Does it cover? All? Right? It's sold?
So you know he's seeking out maybean influence that he's not able to impart.
See, my dad had a loophole. He would take me to the

(39:06):
VFW when he wanted to drink.Yeah, but he earned that right by
fighting in a foreign war. Yeah, it's loophole there. That's a benefit
wright. It's a benefit of servingis you can go drink with your child
at the VFW. We had agood time, man. We would play
pool and stuff. It was superfun. Yes, yeah, absolutely,
man. And it's not like hetook you to Tommy wa was or Jimmy

(39:29):
watscuse me to Jimmy Jimmy. Yeah, to the best best beer in Vietnam.
Really, your dad took you there. You know what The secret is
a little bit of formaldehyde, justa little bit. It's like it's a
humid, tropic environment. So yougotta you gotta do things different, all
right. So the uh, yeah, the down to the how much does

(39:52):
Yeah? So, by the way, he's also being held on seventy five
thousand dollars bond in Sacramento, ifCalifornia. And you got seventy five thousand
dollars bond. No, that can'tit's gotta be. It's gonna be a
Sacramento No, it is Sacramento.How did you actually end up with a
bond in California? And uh,yeah, let's see the Okay, the

(40:15):
child's aunt has full custody of thegirl, but she but had asked Warren
to watch her that day because shehad to work. So yeah, that
that is her one female. Butit doesn't sound like anybody else is in
the picture. Uh. War untilFox Well, he didn't really know her.
He was confident she could take careof his granddaughter just the in the

(40:37):
interactions they had, so again itsounds like they've seen each other and all
that. But also, let melet me ask you this. All right,
I don't have kids, but ifI had, let's hand, like
a seven year od, let's havea seven year old boy or a four
year old boy or any young boywho's louder than a jackhammer? How is

(40:57):
the do you guys know the screamingdude on Wilmington Street at Harget kind of
by where Raleigh Times is and uh, tazz is that well if you don't
just downtown there and near the busdepot where all good things happen. Uh
and and by the way that goesfor Raleigh, it goes for Durham I

(41:21):
think somebody was just shot at thebus depot yesterday. Uh, the one
in Winston Salem downtown. That one'sa little creepy like so, by the
way, I'm starting to sense atrend on bus depots. But with that
being said, there's a screamer.There's a dude who just screams at people
down there. Not always, buta lot of times. He who better

(41:42):
to watch a five year old rambunctiousboy. All they do is scream.
Now he screams. You don't wantyour five year old screaming with this dude
does. But still there they're gonnathere's gonna have be some crossover. They're
gonna have some similarities. But itcomes down to right, it's a different
in the homeless people, like foranother Robin Williams reference. Right, not

(42:05):
not all homeless people are the Fisherking right, right, You've got if
it depends on who the homeless personwas, yes, but yeah, to
your point, I mean, ifyou just want someone to scream with,
sure, why not. I'm justsaying there's gonna be There's gonna be some
crossover there. You just don't wanthim picking up on the words, especially
if it's a hot hot younger womanwho walks by the stuff. I've heard
him scream, but somehow he uh, he remains out there. So weird,

(42:31):
because I promise if I was screamingthat at co Ed's in downtown,
right, well, it wouldn't gowell for me unless I found the one
and she's like, oh, yeah, that's amazing, tell me more.
No the uh Usually they just kindof start walking faster when this dude's around
because he's really creepy. Oh,I haven't seen him for a while.

(42:52):
That's a few times I was downthere. But if I want to go
spend four hours in Raleigh Times drinkingnine dollars tap beer, and I can
get a deal on a babysitter fortwenty bucks. Like now the math starts
math, and you know what I'msaying, all right, seven seventeen,
We'll be right back. All right, what's your beef? What you know?

(43:15):
You don't know anything about that woman, and you have to ask,
all right, mister serious, Iunderstand what you're saying right that there's a
higher propensity for people who are homelessto be dealing with substance abuse issues mental
health issues. One hundred percent agreed. I got all that that being said,
like a whole movie trope is hobowith a heart of gold, right

(43:37):
or that kind of thing, andright, that always goes well in the
movies. I'm not saying that themovies are real life, but it's just
weird that like society like let megive you a like let me get let
me throw this out, and it'snot a homelessly but it's similar. I
have a strong suspicion if you wereto go to the bad part of New
York City or back in the TimesSquare days when you know it was very

(44:02):
open there. But if you goto the bad part of the city,
there's no street walkers that look likeJulia Roberts at twenty two. Okay,
I'm just I don't know. Idon't live in New York City, but
I have a strong suspicion that's notwho you're encountering. They're like the like
the day workers at Hooters plus syphilisfrom twenty years twenty years ago, right,

(44:24):
yeah, twenty years than the Yeah. Yeah, it's not Julia Roberts,
right, it's it's different. It'sgonna look a little different when you
get out there, and uh andso, but that doesn't mean that the
you know one's gonna get murder,You're gonna get murdered. I guess I'm
done encouraging to go pick up streetwalkers in New York. But it was

(44:47):
how popular was that movie? What'sa real life version the guy the guy
with the Voice? Right? Uh? Yeah, the Man with the Golden
Voice, the radio guy on theside of the road. Yeah. It
seems like a nice enough dude.But unfortunately, you know, I don't
know if he recovered, but Iremember there was like a relapse or a
problem or something, right, Yeah, because there has to be issues there

(45:09):
to begin with, right, hehad like substance abuse. So then you
get up giving a guy a tonof money, and this is going to
repeat itself, but on a greaterscale, because it's way I mean,
sometimes she's psychic. How do youknow if you give an addict money that
it's not going to go work.I mean, sometimes sure, people are
just really there because of bad luckor something didn't go their way. But
a lot of times, and we'vementioned this before in the show, there's
previous addictions or there's mental illness,and it's if you give somebody a ton

(45:32):
of money or a brand new house. Yeah. See, oh it's gonna
look in a month's time. Thehouse things make me laugh. I've told
you this off the air, I'llsay it on the air because I think
it's hilarious. So years ago,years ago, on a Buddy's radio show,
we can cut a guy this isyeah, the guy by the way,

(45:58):
this guy who sat around smoking thehallucinogenics or writing that speech and then
crashing and burning at Ohio State right, and he was bemoaning like, ah,
this is how Lenin did it.This was his process. You have
to inherently have some talent there.And I'm gonna be a little self bragging
here. When real radio guys andprofessionals and people in the entertainment business sit

(46:19):
down and you know, put somethingtogether, even on occasion where people are
consuming a little too much alcohol,sometimes it does work. So we're sitting
around and like, do this bitwhere I am this moon bat calling in
on the show. Well, AprilFool's action. And I'm telling an audience

(46:45):
in Texas, in Texas that onceyou are thoroughly annoyed with my character,
who would just call in And itwas just it was like the the the
Biden White House Twitter account right,just the incessant troll on, but it
was packaged into too this this thing. I then proceeded to tell the audience

(47:06):
when I when the host was asking, you know about my charity, but
at a charity that the charity was, I would I worked with the homeless,
and I would go get the homeless, and then I had I would
buy these houses that were fixer uppers, and then I would let him live
in the house while they renoed itfor me, and then I would flip

(47:27):
it for a profit. I mean, that's a great deal. People lost
their crap, dude, So you'reflip it houses with free labor, free
hob No, no, it's notfree. You're giving them a place to
live. And I made this far. I made this argument to outrage people.
I said, look, if youhire a guy who doesn't live in

(47:49):
that house to come in and ripout all the asbestos without safety equipment,
or you get a guy off thestreet who's got nowhere else to go and
he lives in the house, who'sgoing to take more pride in ripping out
all the asbestos at San Francisco andstill continue with this The commitment is overwhelming.
I know that there are a lotof people that are fed up there

(48:13):
and they'll stick it out, butat least they've voiced concern. Do you
remember the one of the TV stationsin New York a few months ago,
they basically were out filming a turnstileat a subway and you literally like every
third person just hopped it or theydid the thing where they grant they caught

(48:36):
it when the person in front ofthem went so it didn't have a chance
to lock, and then they wouldkind of flip it back so they could
go through. And uh, theTV station ended up apologizing for filming in
public people committing crimes. They apologizedfor it because activists lost their crap.

(48:59):
Those people people are probably going towork, and it's like, oh,
maybe I don't think those dudes work. I'm just saying because like it's they're
drunk, they're falling around, they'rein a group together and they all don't
want to pay and but so soanyway, that video was just that was

(49:22):
stupid. But California, they saidhold my whites in here we go.
Here's the headline of the regular normalstory that most people will hear, and
it says target thief arrested after overone hundred and twenty visits to the store
and sixty thousand dollars an items stolen. This is at one store and they're

(49:51):
mad at ABC seven in the BayArea as well as law enforcement and prosecutors
for arresting this woman, because again, you go steal whatever you want,
you just you just need it forbread. Did you see it San Francisco
or Nos Nah, maybe it wasSacramento, Oakley, it was in the
Bay Area. It was you know, it was in the Bay Area.

(50:12):
It was Oakland or San Francisco.They there's there's the theft ring is so
big. They just raided a warehouseand it was full of nothing but stolen
stuff from like CVS and Target andWalmart and everything just full. And they
have open air farmers' markets that someof the locals were pre to as felons

(50:37):
markets. Uh, where you goand the reason you grab stuff? Like
you're going why are they stealing bigthings of tide detergent. When's the last
time you bought the big sized tidedetergent? What does that cost? I
just bought one a couple of tripsago. Every time, Like, ah,
what, I don't want to smellbads. So we'll do this.

(50:58):
Well, you get that stuff,load up a cart full of it,
and then you go down to oneof these open air markets and rather than
you're the dude selling Fuji apples,you're the guy selling detergent. And then
people who are because it's such anungodly expensive place to live, people who
want to save, they go tothese markets and the police store where they

(51:19):
are. But people are upset shamingthis woman who stole sixty thousand dollars in
merch from one Target store, andyou have to understand how businesses have adapted.
That is irritating Gavin Newsom and others, and it's not getting talked about

(51:39):
in another story that we had thisweek. So if you're a business,
all right, so you're Ross iswhat was your horse meat company? We'll
go with that one. I can'tremember it was. It didn't sound good,
but anyway, Yeah, it's aRoss's post apocalyptic horse meat outlet store.
Okay, you're the Ross's post apocalyptichorse meat outlet store. Okay,

(52:01):
all right, so you're doing that. You're in California and every day here
comes people just walk in the brazenlygrab a bunch of your horse meat and
the stone you're in California for thesex or so okay, yeah, all
right, then I look at themwith the stink guy and they shake my
finger. How dare you? Yeah? And then probably not because then you're

(52:23):
then you're man's plaining if it's afemale robber or you know what I'm saying,
So like, be careful, youdon't want to get canceled. So
anyway, so let's say, uh, they steal uh, and it keeps
stealing nine hundred dollars worth of horsemeat because they realize that they jack that
that that that threshold up to getinto felony land or even to get police

(52:44):
to respond, and that that dirtbag horse meat thief, he knows what's
up. And so everyone's playing thatgame. So what did business owners do?
They got smart and loss prevention.Poul sees at many stores in California
adapted accordingly. And here's now whatthey do. And a lot of them

(53:06):
they watch you steal stuff. Theymay kind of stand there and you know,
I try to shame you, butmost people don't have much shame.
And eventually you go strolling out andwhile the reason they're watching and they've upgraded
cameras and even they're using in somecases scan technology, you know like Amazon
uses for their stores. You justkind of push the card through some of

(53:29):
the stores in San Francisco because itis a tech hub, so why not.
And so they are. What they'redoing is they're documenting a they're putting
a full a file together on you. And that's what these stores are doing.
They put a file. And thereason they put a file on you
is because eventually that number will beover nine hundred. So if you steal,

(53:51):
if you go in and you stealone hundred bucks a week, they'll
let you steal for ten weeks,maybe eleven, and then they're gonna get
the police involved, and that hasactivists upset. And then they got really
upset with this woman. Well,if Target didn't want her to steal sixty
thousand dollars worth of birch and thenthey let her keep doing it, that's

(54:14):
entrapmant, which is bonkers if youunderstand how entrapment works. And they're mad
not at this woman for stealing sixtythousand dollars from a single store. They're
mad at Target, They're mad atauthorities, they're mad at the ABC station
for doing a story about it,and they're mad at how store owners have

(54:37):
adapted out. They're going, fine, I can't call you for the one
time, or you come back andthe numbers add up. Now you're gonna
get a felony, or at leastI'm gonna attempt to. But entrapment would
be if the target manager met herat the front and it's like, hey,
you know what, you don't reallyhave to pay for any of this
stuff? Yeah, oh, you'refine, grab whatever you want. Do

(54:58):
you see supermarkets do it like that? And then when she runs out,
go hey, stop thief. Thatmight be although it wouldn't even because they're
not a government official. It's alldumb, but you can't, you know,
like and then people are like,well, if they didn't want her
stealing white, didn't they put itin a lockcase? Have you been into
one of the really lockdown stores.I don't know that there's any around that

(55:21):
I've seen in North Carolina to theextent to the one I went to in
DC. So the last time Idid that radio broadcast up there, I
went down. I walked down tothe if you know where the Chinatown area
is, and they have you know, the Walgreens cvs over there, and
I walked into the sev or Iwalked into the Walgreens. First, the
cvs. They didn't have the thingI wanted, But I walked in there

(55:43):
and the entire store and this isthe one that's kind of not on the
good end of that side. Theentire store was either empty shelves with pictures
or actual things locked in cases.The whole store. The drink fridge at
checkout was locked. You know thatlittle one they have right there. So

(56:06):
if you're like, I kind ofdo want to coke or whatever, that
was locked. That's terrible And soyou're bad that they didn't do that.
You all are insane. So yeah, but sixty thousand dollars, man um,
and they and the way they actuallygot mad is they then they followed.

(56:29):
The news crew followed to figure outwhat she was doing with it,
and she was she would just goand as I just pointed out, she
would go to these markets and justsell the stuff. That's a pretty good
haul. And I don't know ifyou saw this in California, Gavin Newsom
and crew are are demanding that theseretailers get rid of the the self checkout

(56:52):
I get annoyed by self checkouts sometimes. I think if I have one item,
I kind of don't mind them,but they are that is where in
this case, that's how she wasstealing people manipulating it. And the analysis
that I see as people saying,well, they want to get rid of
it because they're trying to pump upthe you know, minimum wage jobs.

(57:15):
Okay, well yeah, because it'sa bad rea. You don't like the
look of what's happening with your twentydollars an hour thing, right, it
doesn't look good for you because peopleare literally closing places. But no,
what you're telling people is you haveyou can't do this because people committing keep
committing crimes against you that we willnot police or enforce. You are the

(57:39):
problem with your self checkout. Ifthat stuff is crazy and nobody's calling them
on this garbage outside of it,I mean, I'm happy to everybody can
see what's going on there, andthere are legitimate self checkout concerns. Do
you know how your kids get boozedat these stores? You know how?
You know how it works? Ididn't. Kids are smart, man.

(58:02):
I remember they put a firewall inwhen we first got internet at my school,
and we were or you know,essentially like a parrot monitor. We
had that thing beaten like a day. So it goes like this. They
make give you an example, arethe Palmers, the Arnie Palmer and the
can right, they make an alcoholicversion and a non alcoholic version, you

(58:23):
know, lemonade and tea. Andso what the kids will do is they'll
grab like a couple of the nonalcoholics and then a couple of the alcoholics
and the cans, if from adistance, look pretty similar, and they'll
just scan. They'll scan, youknow, buy the Like they bought four
non alcoholics and then they ended upbuying two alcoholics. Okay, that's it.

(58:47):
Look I obviously if that's something yougot to get a handle on,
but this is not. It sixtythousand dollars and the problem is the store
is absolutely amazing. Race stage fromthe Weather Channel. How you doing,
man, I'm doing all right.Happy Friday. Yeah, everything's everything's culminating

(59:07):
this week with just here insanity andI haven't even got to the stormy Daniel's
testimony. So yeah, well yougot a busy day, so we'll get
right to it. Not much lefthere, not as busy as it's ben
certainly did get officially two E fones reported in Gaston County from yesterday or
day before. Let's see, yes, I think this was yesterday, No

(59:35):
day before? Sorry, yeah oneand damage there wouldn't speed decimated at one
ten For busy week, over athousand severe thunderstorm warnings issued across the nation.
Incredible amount of severe weather. Nowthat's moving into the Panhandle of Florida.
We still may get a shower thunderstormtoday. There is a chance of
some severe storms that it looks likeit's gonna be east of the triangle for
the most part, and then it'sover with. We actually get some sun

(59:58):
today with the clouds and some lateshowers thunderstorms, low eighties over the weekend.
Here's the payoff twenty of sunshine aroundmid upper seventies for daytime highs,
lows in the fifties to the westand especially into the mountains, some by
sea temperatures in the forties. Onemore sunny day early next week, and
then middle of next week starting aboutTuesday, looks like it gets a little
bit unsettled once again. All right, thank you very much, sir.

(01:00:22):
We'll talk in an hour. Igo raced agic from the Weather Channel.
You're like, how do you stealsixty thousand? I don't know if you
shopped lately? What is that?Three trips now? Because her stuff dates
back over a year when she started. Yeah, you go into Target,
I get I could blow sixty kat Target in a lot less than one

(01:00:42):
hundred visits. Come on, man, everything's crazy expending. Even if you
bought nothing but children's trans tuck bathingsuits. I think you could rack that
number up pretty quick. Think aboutthat and we'll be back. Boy,
oh boy. If you're not,you're not paying attention to the Trump trial
up in New York, which,by the way, I now I'm not

(01:01:08):
convinced yet, but I'm now holdingopen the possibility that rather than a communist
style dictatorship political opponent attack, it'sthat Trump. This is a big pr
thing that Trump did because it's workingin that direction. So they had Daniels

(01:01:30):
testify yesterday and then testified on Tuesdayas well. Wednesday a little break there,
so, and so Tuesday you hadthe prosecutor setting it out, and
that went remarkably horribly because following thetestimony, it was clear that she was
not able to connect Trump to anyknowledge of the payment, which is the

(01:01:54):
reason you put her up there.And so it was then the defense Trump's
lawyer's turn yesterday. And you haveto understand it. On the first day,
while they did talk about communications,and they played some audio of some
a Coen phone call and a fewother things to kind of bolster, and

(01:02:15):
then they tried to explain that letterthat was signed saying nothing happened. They
spent the majority of it deep divingthe most salacious stuff you've ever heard in
a trial having to do with probablya politician, let alone him. And
it was stuff like I can't evenget into all of it, but it

(01:02:37):
was. It was things like adetailed walkthrough of an encounter which culminated with
him bringing out a magazine with hisface on it. This was, by
the way, I remember this fromwhen this all started. I remember Avingnati
peddling this, but like a detaileddescript of that with how he then used

(01:03:06):
it as a paddle. If you'recatching what I'm putting down there, okay,
right, And it was they talkedabout I can't even tell you some
of the stuff they talked about,But it wasn't like they just wandered into
the silacious with the defense, exceptit seems that MSNBC and others. I

(01:03:28):
guess maybe they missed the Tuesday testimonybecause they were very upset. This lady
is not happy. By the way, Who's that standing next to the reporter?
Is that a transitioned Spangler? Whatis going on there? Man?
That looks like that? Looks likeSpangler from Ghostbusters? Ramis Ramis's character and

(01:03:49):
Art Garfunkel had a kid. ButI don't know. It's not saying anything,
so I don't know. So thereporter this is her hot take.
Just wait for it. Well,as I remind our viewers all the time,
Chris and Andrea, I saw throughtwo Eging Carroll trials and two cross
examinations of Eging Carroll, and Ihave to tell you I agree with Sue
wholeheartedly. This was very much whatI'd call a nuts and sluts defense.

(01:04:13):
There was a portion of the crossexamination where Susan Necklace was focused on the
fact that Stormy Daniels now claims thatshe is a medium and that she communicates
with dead people and has participated ina tv TV series about the paranormal where
she explores things including the fact thatat one point an ex boyfriend of hers
was inhabited by spirits. She wasmocking Stormy Daniels. She wants the jury

(01:04:35):
to think Stormy Daniels is a liarand she is crazy. Ah man,
why would they think that? Whywould they? And this she used to
term the Nuts and Sluts defense,which, by the way, isn't that
a movie series? And well whatever? PCODA Radio program phone number eight eight

(01:04:56):
eight nine three four seven eight sevenfour keeps it at the red because we're
going to bang through a few storieswith our Friday guest, Pete Calendar Midday's
WBT in Charlotte, joining us,Pete, how are you doing this morning?
I am doing all right? Howare you doing this morning? Good?
Do you want to do? Youwant to do a little exercise where
we get started into the real stuff. Little thought, little thought thing?

(01:05:19):
Okay, yeah, sure, allright. Let's say that, Pete.
Let's say the one of the lotteriesgoes to a billion and you're the ticket
holder. What's the first insanely stupidbut justifiable considering your new found wealth purchase
you make? What's that os Rossis gonna have his buddy's house, Bulldoze
as a joke. So that's cool. Yeah, yeah, what are you

(01:05:40):
spending that money on? Because remember, once you're in that billionaire class,
it's not about just the cost ofeverything. It's also about like, you
got to have something the other dudedoesn't, right, little showy, that's
kind of how these cats are.So what as you enter that world,
what's your first send a message?Purchase an island? Isn't that ace?

(01:06:01):
Is that overdone a little? Imean a little. Oh yeah, I
don't care. I mean I wouldwant my own island, and you would
like never hear or see me again. Okay, all right, I went
a different direction. In fact,I mine is a little more cost efficient.
I suppose you can get an islandfor you know, the less than

(01:06:24):
the price of a house. Butwhen you're talking, but right, that's
the thing about the island, andeverybody misses this point is that, uh,
it's not the initial purchase of theisland. It's the maintenance and upkeep.
That's what gets you. You know, you got to get your own
power out there, you got tohave your own internet, you know,
food sources and all of that stuff. And then you get a temple.

(01:06:44):
If you put a temple on thesouth side of you. You could do
that, Sure, you could dothat. You also have to have security
because somebody would probably want to comeover onto the island and you know,
they take a boat over, yewould escape. Yeah, okay, we
have a different idea of what theisland's purpose. Oh, I thought you
were shopping in the Virgin Islands.So that's no, I'm not trying to

(01:07:05):
know. I'm not trying to getan island in order to run a honey
trapped extortion thing. I'm getting anisland, right, I would get an
island, so like I would,I would get it so this way I
could be await By the way,this also it's not just what happens if
I get a winning lottery ticket.This plan also is applicable if somebody wants

(01:07:27):
to just give me a billion dollarsor so in order to get me to
go away. I'm willing to I'mwilling to entertain that offer as well.
The lottery. The ultimate Heckler's vetoexactly right, right, Okay, well,
you know I mean, you knowme, I'm a giver, and
so I'm giving this as a potentialescape route for people who don't want to
see me on Twitter anymore. Theydon't want to, you know, have

(01:07:48):
to engage with me on the issuesin North Carolina politics. And this is
the way that they can get ridof me. Okay, all right,
well I'm sorry. I agree.That's your dream. Here's mine. You're
ready, yeah, yeah, okay. I would spend I would buy.
What I would buy is I wouldget a famous porn star in sworn testimony
to say that I am so sogood at that one thing, that a

(01:08:15):
porn star testified that I am sogood at it that I did that to
her to the point that she becameexhausted and passed out. And that would
be in an official sworn piece oftestimony. Because you can't buy that for
one hundred and thirty thousand, youcan, but that would be that's something
right there. And and by theway, if I'm that dude, and

(01:08:39):
then I let's say I have togo negotiate with some you know, a
despot dictator in machete stand you thinkthat dude in a world run, as
a friend of mine says, aworld run by a money, hot chicks
and brute force, that that thatthug dictator isn't that's the kind of stuff

(01:09:00):
that registers with them. This manis prowess is legendary, right, So
uh yeah, because now I'm astate now I'm thinking this New York trial
might be a Trump funded PR stuntbecause you can't you can't buy that man.
That's amazing. Right. Well,and by the way, what is
the deal with the like? Wasn'tthis one of the pieces of information that

(01:09:24):
came out against Matt lower as well? Right? Didn't that same thing when
Matt Lawra was accused of having thesecret button under the button? I defended
the button because it I don't knowhow you thought about this. Immediately,
I said, I'll bet with youknow, because we're we're in this era
of people, you know, crazypeople, and having a panic button is

(01:09:48):
not a thing that is unusual.And I have literally seen it in dressing
rooms, uh you know, inlike concert venues will have these. So
the idea that there would be alockdown button and and like that for a
high profile talent maybe, I guessmaybe because they pointed out that that is
a security system that's on offices inNBC. But yeah, the other stuff

(01:10:12):
was garbage. I seem to remember. Well, okay, so the button
thing aside Yeah, there was.There was one of the details about uh,
the victim's testimony or the story,was that that she had she had
passed out as well. Well,I don't know, yeah, what is
Yeah, Like, I don't thisone's a porn star, and I feel

(01:10:33):
like that's the higher bar. Ithink she just had low blood sugar or
something. She shot a scene withsixty five people or something. I can't
remember what the number was, right, I don't. I do not know
that that you have exhausted my knowledgeof his career. Dude, watching watching,

(01:10:54):
even the judge said he watched abunch of a movie. It was
so dude, everything was so weirdin this transcript, So on Tuesday,
all most of the big salacious stuffcame out on Tuesday at the Behestan prosecutor,
Right, And I didn't see anythingwhere they show that she was able
to connect Trump to this in anyway, shape or formance. No,
her testimony is completely irrelevant. Nobodyis contesting. Yeah, No, one

(01:11:16):
is contesting the two key facts here, which is at the heart of this
case, right, which is thatthere was an NDA, there was a
non disclosure agreement, and that shewas paid. That's it. That's the
only reason to put her on thestand, except, of course, if
you want to humiliate Donald Trump,which is what the judge obviously wanted to
do. So he has her goup there testify about all the salacious details.

(01:11:40):
And then of course, after thedefense has objected, they've objected to
the like her being on the standat all, they said, just standing
objection to all of this. Andthen when Stormy Daniels is done, they
go to lunch or whatever or it'sthe end of the day, and the
judge then says that, you knowwhat, I may have to instruct the
jury like after the trial is over, and he goes to deliberate, like

(01:12:00):
I might have to tell them tolike ignore all of that testimony because yeah,
it might be prejudicial or whatever.And the defenses like, are you
You've got to be kidding me.We objected to this from the beginning,
and the judge says something on theorder of, well, you know,
you should have objected more during thequestioning. So they have an objection to
the entire thing. So on Tuesday, well, so Tuesday was prosecutor day

(01:12:25):
and then they didn't they didn't doWednesday, and then yesterday was defense and
you're right, that literally that DonaldTrump was instructed that he could be in
violation for shaking his head at onepoint. And then and then after all
of the salaciousness, the talking aboutDonald Trump's nude body, him spanking or

(01:12:46):
with magazine, I mean, allof this stuff, half of which I
can't even get into on the air. It gets far worse in in what
they're they're talking about human toilets.Just you don't google that, okay,
but that's in there. No,and then this fetish that they keep ascribing
to this guy because he denies allof this, But what is the deal
with the bathroom and the sex beinglike, I don't know that yes,

(01:13:11):
that these stories have I don't know. So so anyway, so cross examples
on Tuesday, all of this stuffcame out, so the defense they leaned
into it. There's no question.Did you hear the outrage by MSNBC following
are you ready? Are you ready? All right? There are here we
go? You know, as Iremind our viewers all the time, Chris
and Andrea, I sat through twoEging Carroll trials and two cross examinations of

(01:13:32):
aging Carroll, and I have totell you I agree with Sue wholeheartedly.
This was very much what I calla nuts and Sluts defense was which,
by the way, I don't knowif you know that that was her first
movie. Anyway, I'm sorry.Let me continue the thing here. Portion
of the cross examination where Susan Necklacewas focused on the fact that Stormy Daniels
now claims that she is a mediumand that she communicates with Ded pue.

(01:13:54):
Bolln has participated in a TV StoreTV series about the paranormal, where she
most things, including the fact thatat one point an next boyfriend of hers
was inhabited by spirits. She wasmocking Stormy Daniels. She wants the jury
to think Stormy Daniels is a liarand she is crazy. Two things I
love. And then what your reaction? One I love that, I love

(01:14:16):
that whole term there, and herinability to recognize what just happened two days
before that when the prosecutor was havingStormy testify about fecal color. Okay,
and and yet she the part whereshe said she sat through the Egene Carroll
trial, you know, the rapist, sexy, crazy lady. At some
point, do you start to noticea pattern if you are in fact a

(01:14:39):
reporter and I do you feel thatmaybe she's missed a pattern here? Yeah,
definitely, okay, Yeah, Andmaybe it's a blind spot, which
is why you want to have youknow, ideological and philosophical diversity in your
news operations, because you might havea blind spot for something like that that
somebody else sitting next to you mightturn to you and say, hey,

(01:15:03):
have you noticed there might be somecommon thread here among these two users?
Right, they do sound very similarin some of their uh their they are
more wacky ideas. Look, everybody'sgot wacky ideas. This is why I
say unchallenged ideas are easy to hold. People have wacky ideas and then they

(01:15:23):
don't say them out loud because theyeither recognize the wackiness of it they don't
want to be mocked or shunned.But then other people when they do say
them out loud, they're just surroundedby other people with the same wacky idea
and they're like, oh, that'stotally true, that's totally correct. And
this is how you end up with, you know, the todd ake and
legitimate rape comment that tanked his hiscandidacy for US Senate. You say these

(01:15:45):
stupid things and then people outside ofyour wacky circle, they're like, oh
my gosh, you're insane. I'mnot a witch, right, Christine O'Donnell.
These types of uh yeah, thesetypes of ideas, And so in
her I'm sure Stormy Daniel's world whenshe's talking to the dead and all of
the people around her are like,oh, yes, that's that's very very

(01:16:09):
avant garde. Oh my gosh,like, wow, you're you're a medium
and stuff, and like this isthe Real Housewives of Beverly Hills kind of
stuff where people just kind of goalong with this stuff, and you got
to wonder are they getting, Likeare they getting something for being around Stormy?
Like money, fame, something orother to not push back on these
wacky ideas You but you've been ina riot, We've doing what we do.

(01:16:31):
You've been in a room, evenif it's your studio, right and
you've got a few guests in inthere, and at some point while you're
talking to him, especially if there'sa huge political ideological divide, you're like,
is this really happening? Do theymean what they're saying? Is that
what's going on? And by theway, just because we've got to move
this along It's funny that you mentionedblind spot. I'm beginning to think the

(01:16:53):
Asheville City Council might have a blindspot. This was hee was afternoons in
Asheville before we went to Charlotte.Because none of this sounds legal, let
me play the cut. We dohave a black business hub that's going to
be dedicated to entrepreneurs. That blackbusiness hub is going to be three stories
high. All right, This isthe explanation like the Reparations Committee of Ashville's

(01:17:19):
ideas and recommendations, So that wouldbe a government funded building that isn't allowed,
is only utilized based on racial stuff, which, by the way,
I don't know if you know this, Pete. Here in the South,
they used to have a few ofthese buildings where depending on what race you
are, you really couldn't use it. Ye heard it, and also Democrats

(01:17:43):
did that. So let me letme continue with the recommendation that we've learned
the project so far hasn't broken ground. The second recommendation is a Reparations Guaranteed
Income Pilot Program document state Ashville wouldjoin other cities, including Durham, to
provide direct payments for low income individuals. The County Attorney express concerns this could
pose some challenges, as written thatthe problem would be public funding. Dee

(01:18:09):
Williams said the program could be morefocused, specifically targeted towards folks like ex
offenders people. I just I can'twith this woman. I have a question.
They just put the ayahuasca in thewater supply of Asheville or they have
to procure it on their own.You know, you know that's that's real
fine coming from you up in theDurham area. There, you guys in

(01:18:32):
Durham are already doing this, justas in Durham. Roster, are you
sitting in Durham right now, yourcloser? No, No, nobody's sitting
in Durham right now. Cloth.I'm sorry, it's all Raleigh, Durham
to me, I've never lived inDurham. I believe you. I've been
to your house in Asheville, sobusted. Remember I picked you up.

(01:18:54):
I meant to beat you there beforeI met you and your wife for your
girl for beers. Remember that wasan apartment that was in a part man
whatever. So seriously, if you'rean ass, why do they have to
San Francisco was a beautiful city.Asheville is gorgeous. I love the mountains
of North Carolina. Yeah, andand yeah, why they got to ruin

(01:19:15):
all this stuff? They're insane,man, absolutely, Yeah. Well that's
what all fols do. I mean, that is what aw fuls do,
the affluent white female liberals. Thisis what they do. And this is
you know, their attempt to virtuesignal and to uh, you know,
to offer this up, this reparationsidea. It's been like two years in
the making, and the contract withthe facilitator that's been you know, running

(01:19:35):
the meetings for them. The contractsup in June, so they had to
they had to come up with something, right, So they took Durham's idea
of like this this guaranteed income,which, by the way, I suggested
this very idea like almost a decadeago when I was having an argument with
an Asheville city councilman, a leftyand whose qualifications to be city councilman was

(01:19:57):
he was a blogger in ashvill.Yeah, yeah, and so I told
him, I said, you shouldjust do a guaranteed income for the city,
and they were like, you can'tdo that. You. I said,
sure you can. You're city councilman. You can do that. There's
no prohibition here against it. Andthey just laughed and laughed and laugh,
Oh, there's pid He's just crazy. And now here they are doing that
very thing, and they're using Durhamas a potential model for it. And

(01:20:21):
the key is, because there's somequestion about whether or not you can give
money directly to people from the taxpayertail based purely on the recipient's race,
they are now going to look atwhether or not they can do it based
on your carceral status, whether ornot you've had any run ins with the
law. You got arrested, andthen you get out and then okay,

(01:20:43):
here's your check. Which I don'tknow about you, but like I kind
of see where this might get alittle sideways, where people might go out
and break the law so they canthen get the guaranteed six hundred bucks a
month's income. Now you're a conspiracytheorist, is this? That's what I'm
hearing. But you know what though, but they also they then dumb idea

(01:21:04):
you into submission on this stuff likethey had. Did you see the story
in Santa Monica where they're building ahobo condo building and each unit the cost,
the price per unit will be itwas a few million dollars, and
I bet, and they're like studioapartments, and it's like, I know
it's it's not Malibu, but SantaMonica. I know it's Santa Monica.

(01:21:26):
But if you don't you can buycondos for under a few million that are
studios out there, and you can'tbuild a hobo center. So at that
point then you argue for the incomeand it almost makes paduciary sense. All
right, uh yeah, I'll crap, look at the clock. We didn't
even get to the uh your policethat well, you know, maybe we'll
get into that next week if Iremember. But Pete, I appreciate the

(01:21:47):
time, my man, thank you, and we'll talk next week. Okay,
have a great weekend. All right, there you go, Pete Calendar
Midday's WBT can catch it a viathe iHeart radio app even though technically he
were for the competition. All right, we'll be back. Hang on.
I guess maybe I should warn somebodyif they go, I don't know if
they're taking their kids up there andthey do the Times Square thing, So

(01:22:08):
somebody there's a new art installation literallyright in the middle of Times Square and
it's a giant like bus length ortwo bus length hot dog, which you're
taking. Okay, all right,giant hot dog. Kids might want to
see that, Like, yeah,I get excited when the wienermobile goes by.
So what's what's the deal with thebig hot dog? What's the problem

(01:22:29):
there? Well, and of courseNew York obviously hot dogs are a thing,
the worst version of it, becausethe Chicago dog is far superior,
which is fine because New York's pizzais far superior. Or though the politicians
up there trying to kill that.See, just when you think you're you're
posing in front of the the gianthot dog with your family because it's the

(01:22:53):
only thing not trying to charge youtwenty dollars for being in a picture frame,
it moves because it's an art installationexposing the threat of toxic masculinity.
And so it's not just a hotdog. All of a sudden, it's
a weird transformer. How do Ihow do I say this? So it

(01:23:18):
is, you know, it's justlong ways sitting there like it would sit
on a plate, right, andthen all of a sudden, at a
pre approved at certain times, itthen raises in the air like a missile,
like a missile sile, well nonmissile silo per se, but you
know what I'm saying, like likea big gun on a battleship and shoots

(01:23:39):
confetti out the front, which isnot at all phallic symbolism, And the
message from the artist is obviously inevery aspect of this, the hot dog
is not just a hot dog,if you catch my Freudian hint there,
and so, but it's it's docileand it's fine and you want to be

(01:24:00):
around, and then all of asudden, out of nowhere, it gets
angry and bah, here's the confettiout the front, And that dude probably
got paid a word and I'll makein my career for that. I don't
know, man. So yeah,so once again, here's another thing where
you might think his family friendly,like a big hot dog. Kids might

(01:24:21):
be amused by that, but no, it's not a hot dog. It's
it's a something else. But that'spretty much on brand. Oh and also,
somebody send me this email of thisor are they on Twitter? And
I get to whenever I do anAsheville story, but I also talk about
how much I love the mountains.I don't understand why people you can think

(01:24:41):
Ashville's food full of moonbats. There'salso quite a few people that are not
moonbats. I don't know if youknow this. Generally they're outside the sea
limits in and around there. Butif you've ever seen radio ratings or breakdowns
a population, and there are alot of people who don't subscribe this to
live in Asheville because work kind ofbeautiful, whatever. But I get what
you're driving at from a tourism dollarstandpoint. Most trips to the mountains for

(01:25:05):
me are you know, Glade Valleyto Sparta up to Lancey and I like
to go way back up into ashCounty there. So I don't really I'm
not necessarily my hang on the bottomend of the state. But yeah,
I'll go to Ashville. You knowwhy, because I'm the one profiting.
And I know what you're saying,Well, you put the money into the
economy and they spend it on stupidstuff. That's fine, but I get

(01:25:25):
more value out of it. Everytime I go to Ashville, there is
an insane story that happens, andthen that's less prep I gotta do.
Last time it was the the KembeMatumbo sized hobo flicking cigarettes at my windshield.
The other time it was the poemlady right, And so I don't

(01:25:48):
know where in the triad or triangleI could possibly go where I'm gonna find
a thirty year old, dreadlocked whitewoman, homeless chick who's clearly on drugs,
who wants to write a poem forme for ten dollars. That's not
a good poem. They're not good. I didn't have a right one,
but I saw one of the onesshe did. It's not good. Where

(01:26:10):
is that? Where do I shopfor that? Locally? Ross? Do
you guys have a dreadlocked, hobo, drug addict white woman will write you
a poem for ten dollars? Storein wake Forest? You got everything else?
You probably do. Just consider howmuch they built there. But yeah,
so yeah, but I'm the onegetting the value out of it,
so uh please understand sir. Allright over this, Hey, it doesn't

(01:26:38):
a little bit of you kind ofwant to gaze upon one of these student
protests from you know, from safeplace, or maybe you want to get
up in there. There's some dudes. By the way, This is great,
This is the way, as iswhat I tweeted yesterday. But going
up and interacting with it. Listento this. How know this is an
outdated term, but this cultural appropriationnot a thing anymore. I don't think

(01:27:02):
they're Middle Eastern. You can't wearthat scarf. They're clearly he's cultural appropriation.
That's shame. Shame, shame,shame. You really should be a
shame to yourself. You know,I'm gonna film it out. Look at
that. That is a white person. That is a white person. Shame,
shame. He's cultural appropriation. Ilove how By the way, this

(01:27:27):
dude's buddy, his hype man isclearly the most ethnically diverse dude there.
And he's just he's with the guyfilming, AND's and and so like the
even the white people who are angry, they're not they're not talking to the
dude who's clearly not a white dude. They're yelling at white dude. So
that's something. So why they recognizethe division, they can't bring themselves to

(01:27:49):
a break with, which is extradeep funny for me. Shame. You
have a great point, man,I'm shaming her because she's white, just
wearing a Middle Eastern head dress.It's really not okay, all right?
Is it all stupid? Yes?But I'll watch that. I'll why I
would have loved to be there.Did you see the spray paint thing?

(01:28:13):
Oh? Man? All right,So they decimate they graffeeded up this this
wall. Is it Case Western?I think it's Case Western University. So
anyway, they graffeed up this wall. It's all the same stuff, you
know, the boojuw's and yay thisand all the rest. And so the
university they they they hire a dudeto come in with the you know,

(01:28:36):
with this the paint to sprayed downto cover up all this insanity. And
the the protesters are not fans ofthat, so they literally stand against the
wall, and the paint contractor,who clearly is like, I don't have
time for this, just keeps painting, and there's moonbats lined up and literally

(01:29:03):
someone brings them over a face mat. But we were a lot of stress
fall this. Here's but here's wherethey screwed up. Y'all. Ever paint
a wall, Rossie, Ever painteda wall? Yeah? Sure, have

(01:29:23):
you have a living yep? Okay? Good? Uh? And did it
have paint previous paint on it?It did? Yes, okay? And
did you paint it the same time? Did oh? So what hat you
didn't paint that? Did you putthe old the new color directly over the
old color? I don't think wedid, because of it it would bleed

(01:29:44):
through, right. Ah, Yes, that's right. Anybody's painted anything,
especially when they're graffiti, is isdark paint. You know, it's purple's
dark green stuff like that and reds. And they're painting what looks like a
light gray. Yeah, painting oneon one, you gotta you gotta get
rid of the other paint or you'regonna be seeing the old paint real quick.
So the university screwed up. Youneeded to do with a pressure washer

(01:30:10):
first, you know, so thatyou want the paint to look right.
And I and people are like,oh, I can't you want the students
to get hurt. No, evenwith the wild lack of IQ points I
assigned to, somebody would stand thereand allow themselves to get painted. I
still believe they would be smart enoughnot to try to stand in front of

(01:30:32):
a pressure washer. But who knows. And for those of you who have
never run a pressure washer, andand uh, and you make the rookiest
of mistakes that I made once andI think one of the first times I
used it where I was. Iwas using it and it was working great,
and but it was blowing. Youknow, I'd like paint chips and
stuff over some soft old shoes.Don't use the spray or to try to

(01:30:55):
clean your shoes. There's a reasonwe do some of our our big as
bad as metal cutting that we dousing water. Dude, I was gonna
say, people underestimate the power thatwater can do. Yeah. Have you
ever seen them cut like a giantpig steel beam with water? I sure
have. You don't want to standin front of that. Going back to
the previous cut too, with theheadscarf from the cultural appropriation, that's a

(01:31:16):
great point because it was it waslike a year ago where if he showed
up on Halloween with a sombrero,to'd expel you from school. It was
it was not even a year ago. We just had the cultural appropriation story
in so uh uh South Carolina withthe dreadlocks, right remember, and remember
they tried to ban tacos or somethingfrom a university cafeteria because they said that

(01:31:40):
was culture. But this is fine. Yeah, everyone's pretend to be Islam
now. They were just they werejust well, look, you don't have
to you don't have to pretend tobe Islam. You can be you can
decide to be a Muslim, rightthat you can't, but you can't pretend
to be Arabic, right, seeright? I mean, if we're gonna
have one standard, we should havethe other. Makes no sense. It's

(01:32:00):
yeah, it does. It's almostas if it's all looney tunes. Oh
my gosh, look at you.Oh hold on, we're gonna get canceled.
Let's get ray stage. He'll dothe weather that should keep us out
of trouble, because yeah, yeah, it's all good news for the most
part. Still, we've got afront to the west and guided saying some
showers, thunder showers. I thinkit's really from Fayette Villa to Jacksonville out

(01:32:21):
near the coast that we're going tosee this line developed as we get into
the afternoon, so triangle isolated showerthunderstorm in the surrounding area west, even
less of a chance for the triadAll in all, much less in terms
of wet weather over the next fewdays, mix a clouds and sun.
Otherwise, Today gonna go late dayshower, thunderstorm threat mid upper seventies,

(01:32:42):
and then that'll end tonight we'll clearit out. Will be in the forties
tomorrow morning, and then sunshine nearseventy tomorrow afternoon. Mother's Day looks great.
Monday looks great, mid upper seventies, a gusty breeze around on Mother's
Day. Otherwise we get into amuch quieter weather pattern. Then we'll start
to get some wet weather back hereTuesday Wednesday of next week. So today,
again, the east, the furthereast of the further south, you

(01:33:02):
go better to have to being onthat line as the front comes in mid
to late afternoon, but most ofus triangle try. It shouldn't seem much
in the way of rain, butan isolated shower, thunderstorm, It's still
possible. All right, Thank you, sir, appreciate it. Okay,
all right, and uh I'm gonnagrab this call because I feel like a
bunch of people. I just I'mreally tight on time. But let me
get it said, so Rost doesn'thave to deal with all the calls,

(01:33:23):
Yes, Chris, Do you wantto bring up another example real quick?
Yeah, good morning, Casey.Remember the nine year old who were the
Indian headdress to the Chiefs game andhe got all cultural appropriated on and everything,
and I guess now it's okay toYeah, I just wanted to touch
on that. Thanks for taking mycall. Yeah, absolutely, yeah.

The New York Fed says the shareof workers planning to work full time past

their sixty second birthday started shrinking duringthe pandemic, and it has kept shrinking.
People give various reasons for wanting toexit the workforce early. Some people

(01:34:31):
iPad pro on television. It's apologizingfor the ad, which has been ridiculed
on social media. The ad showsa huge pile of things such as records,
musical instruments, televisions, cans ofpaint being crushed into an iPad.
The ad was intended to depict allof the things that can be done with
the tablet, but an Apple marketingexecutive told ad Age the company missed the

(01:34:54):
mark with that one. A Targetgot some pushback over displays of LGBTQ theme
merchandise in June last year, andsales suffered because of the backlash. Now
those products will not be offered insome stores during Pride Month this year,
but Target says they will be availableonline. A lot of the nation's hospitals
and surgery centers have revised their businesspractices. The Wall Street Journals has healthcare

(01:35:18):
providers that have had too many badexperiences chasing no pays and started demanding payment
in advance. Patients who can't comeup with the money don't get an operation.
And the food inflation that has hitthe supermarkets has hit restaurants even harder.
Casey, the restaurant tech company popMenus, says a lot of people
are eating out less often. Asa result, consumers spend on average about

(01:35:41):
thirty percent of their food budgets onrestaurant meals. Now, that's down from
about forty percent two years ago.And some bad news for restaurant servers.
A lot of people who were surveyedsaid they're coping with higher menu prices by
tipping less. Casey, All right, thank you sir, having good weekend,
you'd do the same. Talk toyou Monday. All right, there
you go, Jeff Bellinger, BloombergNews. Dude, learn your lesson what

(01:36:06):
is ross? Do you remember earlierin this week when Boston Paul got bodied
on this show for a half hour. It was very uncomfortable, Like you
guys got beef. I don't likeit. No, we don't have beef.
We don't have beef. Him andI talked an email after he thought
it was hilarious too, And yethe just dude, take your ls man
still setting stuff. Just take theloss. You didn't you know what,

(01:36:29):
you didn't know who you were messingwith. And you and I understand,
right, I mean, you're you'refrom a people who two hundred of you
lost a fight to six British soldiers. Right, that's embarrassing. Also,
let me ask you this question,Boston Paul, how is it you fought
on the north. Well not well, maybe you I don't know, but
how is it You guys were inthe Northern Alliance during the Civil War,

(01:36:50):
and yet to this day when youask people what's the most racist city in
America, Boston is clearly always inthe top few. You want some of
this keeps setting your ears? Itsounds like a beef to me, as
they say, you know what aroundyou know what? Find out? Anyway,

(01:37:13):
I need to get a little ofthat out of my system. A
marathon winner in Los Angeles has beendecued. Esteban Prado thought he won the
Orange County Marathon uh and uh,only to have his title stripped from him
shortly after when it was uh whenit was found out that during the course
of the marathon, he got himselfa nutritional advantage, an illegal nutritional advantage.

(01:37:43):
So what do you do? Youpop some steroids? No. According
to reports, what he violated washe he he accepted a water from somebody
who was not in the race,one of the one of the spectators,
some dude on a bicycle was handingout water to people, and he took
on when he's running, which,by the way, I don't run a
lot of marathons, but I seerunners they grab water and they dequeued him,

(01:38:09):
so he uh yeah. And theguy who won is actually I think
he kind of as his friend,so he feels bad about it. But
you dequeued him for having an unfairadvantage, and I thought, well,
surely over on the women's side,they didn't have any of this and I
didn't. Apparently the NBA forward sized, well muscled winner in the women's division

(01:38:31):
did not receive an unfair advantage withthe h with the water. Maybe the
testosterone coursing through their veins, butnot the water.
