Speaker 1 (00:00):
Eight oh five, We're gonna chat with Pete Calender. Uh Ross,
you remember last Friday when Pete got all worked up and
rightfully so I never really got into it, but Pete
was right when COVID started the radio station that he
worked for, it literally had layoffs and they laid him
off and it was a really tough time and it
was one of the reasons I want to have Pete on.
(00:20):
I mean, obviously I like the guy, but like you know,
you want to protect people in the business that you
think are good at what they do. And do you
remember how angry I've never heard Pete really angry about anything,
but he was so angry about the PPP fraud, the
COVID fraud that was going on out there.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
Remember that, yep.
Speaker 1 (00:38):
Because he was like, I was too dumb to commit fraud,
right and uh no, no, I'm kidding, like he didn't,
because that's what decent people do. I got like nine
other stories this morning, so I think I'm going to
touch a nerve with him just a little. But the
level of fraud and fraud stories that hit the news
yesterday is in saying including and I had to read
(01:03):
this story several times because I'm like, that can't be true.
That's that that that's way too.
Speaker 3 (01:11):
High a number. This chick who worked for the USDA
and was committing food stamp fraud allegedly, it's like thirty
six million dollars. How do you not think you're gonna
get caught?
Speaker 1 (01:25):
And the answer is probably because people don't usually, That's
what we're finding out. The reason you think you could
commit allegedly thirty six million dollars in food stamp fraud?
Speaker 3 (01:40):
I mean, what must your lifestyle look like to the
people around you? What must it look look?
Speaker 1 (01:48):
Look, if Ross came in with a new Bugatti every day,
I would have some questions. Now, I'm sure he would
come across the bugattis you know, naturally probably fine him
or whatever. But like, you got thirty six million dollars
in fraud you're alleged to have commit and you're like
a middle manager at for food stamp benefits a USDA.
(02:13):
How do you think you're not gonna get caught?
Speaker 4 (02:14):
Right?
Speaker 2 (02:15):
Unless you're like hiding the money and like some sort
of Wolter White like storage unit, you know, and just
but you're saying so they were like showing off the money, right.
Speaker 3 (02:22):
Yeah, a little bit.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
Yeah, if you read some of the stories, apparently she
got herself a fat pad. Some nice cars was going
on all these vacations.
Speaker 2 (02:31):
So like a Bugatti being pulled by like a horse
and carriage.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
I mean, if you want to be classy. Yes, wait,
I'm sorry, you've never You've never done a Bugatti carriage?
Speaker 2 (02:42):
Not yet?
Speaker 3 (02:43):
Oh wows yeah, okay, all right, well maybe we'll get
there one.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
Yeah, yeah, all right.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
Hey, I got a question too. How many graduation ceremonies
have you been to?
Speaker 5 (02:52):
For Lincoln?
Speaker 2 (02:53):
I remember there was like a kindergarten one. If there
was a elementary school one.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
Does he transitioned schools in what like fifth grade or something?
Speaker 2 (03:03):
If there was one, it wasn't like big enough to
register a memory. There's no real memory there, but I
do remember the kindergarten one.
Speaker 3 (03:09):
How many of the other parents did you fight?
Speaker 1 (03:11):
And you can average this number like you can be
like per graduation ceremony, I expect you to remember the
whole number. How many parents did you? Did you fight
violently at the ceremony?
Speaker 2 (03:21):
Well, I'm a little different. So whenever it comes to
like a school function or a birthday or anything like this,
My first thing I do is I fight one of
the parents. It's what I do.
Speaker 3 (03:29):
Do you have if you have one, you hone in
on or just randish like proximity or proximity.
Speaker 2 (03:34):
Oh, it's sort of like prison.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
Well, no prison, because prison you want to seek out
the biggest other parent.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
I thought that was also proximity.
Speaker 3 (03:42):
Oh okay, so you sit by, Okay, all right, fair enough.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
I'm just trying to figure this out because apparently six
of you insane people decided to fight each other at
a kindergarten graduation yesterday while your kids scream stop stop, which,
by the way, don't you want your kids to root
for you? That's that's a parenting feel right there. When
you're beating the crap out of all the other parents
at the graduation ceremony in your kindergarten, it's like, oh mommy,
(04:07):
stop and is crying and stuff like are they even
on team?
Speaker 3 (04:10):
Whatever your last name is?
Speaker 1 (04:11):
I don't think so a kindergarten graduation to send it
into madness when a large brawl broke out between parents,
forcing school officials to quote scold the unacceptable behavior that
is such language that you use with a kid, by
the way, and they're kind of locked into it because
they're all kindergarten teachers and administrators like this accept this
(04:35):
behavior is unacceptable. I don't know, man, I'd use a
stronger word. Several adults are punches and there's a couple
of good haymakers here.
Speaker 3 (04:45):
Man. One of them connects, by the way, so I
think that dude won.
Speaker 6 (04:48):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
Several parents are punches at each other in the hallway
at Falk Elementary on Wednesdays.
Speaker 3 (04:54):
This is in Memphis, Tennessee.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
By the way, multiple men and women were at the
center of the melee plowing through the school.
Speaker 3 (05:01):
Is other pairs.
Speaker 1 (05:01):
Oh okay, so it was a rolling brawl. Ah okay,
it was like a Survivor series thing. I think, which
classroom do you think would be most advantageous to roll
into via fight for the things you could use to
fight with?
Speaker 3 (05:20):
Do you understand what I'm asking?
Speaker 2 (05:21):
Yeah, I think the obvious go to would be like
the gym or something where they still.
Speaker 3 (05:25):
Right, you got the rope there, you got all that.
I mean, chemistry lab.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
Yeah, I was about to say that could be good,
but I mean you've got what you say. It was kindergarten,
so they probably don't have a chemistry class. Well, it's
an elementary school, so I'm sure they have you know,
so they're not going to have that.
Speaker 3 (05:41):
Oh do they not have those in elementary?
Speaker 1 (05:44):
I don't know, it's been a while, all right, So yeah,
the gym gym would be a good one.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
Parents with that or could be good. You could use
the paint mm hmm.
Speaker 3 (05:54):
That's a good point.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
I just like the chemistry because you can blind the
other parent, like it's an ascid attack and Middle East, right,
so you got that going for you. But you're right,
they probably don't have one. So anyway, they basically fought
through the hallway. Now, once you've defeated a parent, can
you stuff them in a locker? Like it's the old
you know? Because is this are nostalgia when you go
(06:18):
back to school, right, you're the member Berry's right, like,
oh I remember being a kid.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
Yeah once again. It's not really like that anymore though,
and it'sool, so there's no lockers. There might be a cubby.
Speaker 3 (06:29):
Well who you want to talk about winning? Right? Do
you get a whole other parent into a cubby?
Speaker 2 (06:34):
I'm not sure honestly what the locker situation is, especially
like a high school anymore, Linco. It's not in high
school yet. Yeah, but I don't know what it's like anymore,
because back in our day used to have like a
big old locker because you had tons of books you
had to bring around.
Speaker 3 (06:46):
Well, how like is how how many grades has meant?
Speaker 1 (06:49):
It's because the middle school in the elementary school, Clear
Creek Elementary that I went to in Buffalo, Wyoming went
up to.
Speaker 3 (06:57):
Sixth grade.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
No, typically it's six seven. In high school's nine, ten, eleven, twelve.
Speaker 1 (07:02):
Yeah, and then middle school was just seven and eight
for us. And then obviously he went into high school.
So what about cafeteria trays? Those might be helpful.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
Yeah, but I mean half the kids are on azempic now, so.
Speaker 3 (07:15):
Are they the kids?
Speaker 2 (07:17):
No?
Speaker 3 (07:17):
No, oh you think in Hollywood there's not some kid
on those? Yeah, there definitely are, yes, oh yeah yeah.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
But back in our day you used to have like
a books and tons of book bags and you would
like to throw your back out with your huge book bag.
And now you have your tamlets or whatever. So I'm
not sure what the what the locker situation is in
high school anymore. If they have hitting somebody.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
With a chromebook doesn't have the same appeal as smashing
them in the face with like a big old American
history book.
Speaker 3 (07:45):
So I would agree with you there, all right, you
know art.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
This is uh, it's like the it's it's it's my
day sort of thing where you have all these parents
and they're super focused on their kid and it's their
kids day, and they can't see be on themselves, and
they're very self centered and selfish, and whenever they see
something that's like, oh, it's an affront to my kid
or it's not fair to my kid, they fly off
the handle. It's so stupid.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
Yeah, sadly, I looked at two different versions of this
story and they do not have what started it. I'm
assuming some parent got in another parent's way, was taking
photos or.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
Something, and they see it as like a slight because
they don't they can't see beyond themselves, like this is
my day, not your day, even though you have a
kid here went to the to the school with my
you know, the schoolmates or classmates. It's so dumb.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
I'm just looking at some of the pictures here. What
I like, too, is nobody in this in the video here.
It seems to be sexist. Right, there's there's pure equality
because this one dude's haymakering a woman and two women
are punching this dude in the crotch. So right, you know, everybody,
(08:50):
everybody's like dah, we're you know, gender equality. And that's
important because you want the kids to witness that, right.
You want the kids to see that mommy or daddy
or not like bigots like, oh, only men can punch
men at the kindergarten ceremony. No, no, no, there's none
of that. Everybody's fighting everybody, let's see here. Superintendent Eric
(09:13):
Foyster issued a warning to parents that their time was up.
I just can't get over the kids not rooting for
their parents. By the way, Uh, the one mom her
hoots came out because she's wearing a stripper shirt.
Speaker 3 (09:27):
Is that what you wear to a kindergarten graduation? I
don't know. I don't know, not been to many of these.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
I will say like it was different for Lincoln's, and
typically the school stuff tends to be different with special
needs or autistic.
Speaker 3 (09:44):
Yeah, you got very small class size, smaller.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
Yeah, but you're just hoping that your kid doesn't have
a meltdown. And you tell yeah, you tend to be
more thoughtful of the other parents who are going through
a similar situation. It's completely different.
Speaker 3 (09:57):
But is there a couple you and Markie would like
to fight? You don't have to say who they are?
Speaker 7 (10:02):
No?
Speaker 3 (10:03):
OK? Yeah, because I.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
Feel like you have to have an arch nemesis too, right,
like something clearly something triggered this, and I don't know
if it was pre existing or what, but let's see.
The superintendent pointed out, the adults are a poor role
model for their kids. Well, the ones who lost are right,
if you're the winning parents, what if you just taught
(10:25):
your kid hard work pays off. So being an absolute
piece of garbage, but one that's good at fighting, you know,
eventually could protect you. Do they even get the ceremony?
And what do you do at that point? Do you
have to you have to rehold the ceremony?
Speaker 3 (10:41):
Right? You got a hall? The kids back in there
because that's their day and you just made it your day.
Speaker 6 (10:47):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (10:48):
Six in total, six adults have been permanently banned from
the school. We other kid just graduated, so what do
they care? Citing these zero tolerance policy? Apparently that five too.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
If it's kindergarten, they will be going back to that school,
right because it's kid But you got.
Speaker 1 (11:05):
A transfer that in all seriousness, right, yeah, you have
to yeah transfer schools man.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
Yeah, so I mean they can get kicked out of
school because it's only kindergarten.
Speaker 3 (11:13):
Yeah, but I'm not gonna have access to the Oh
that's well.
Speaker 1 (11:20):
Look, you guys are living in the past and we
gotta to send me an email. It's like I would
beat the other parents with a trapper keeper. I don't
think they have those anymore, sir, excuse me. I don't
think they have trapper keeper. That's not a thing anymore. Right,
trapper keepers.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
Those are like collectibles now, especially the ones we had
all cool stuff inside. I had a Lamborghinian mind it
was super cool.
Speaker 3 (11:41):
Oh dude.
Speaker 1 (11:42):
I had a Batman one, Yes, I had. And I
was the old school Batman, like the old you know,
like sixties seventies television, like.
Speaker 2 (11:52):
The Adam West Batman.
Speaker 1 (11:53):
Mm hmm, yeah I was. I was super retro as
a kid. So, oh, look at this too.
Speaker 8 (12:00):
Now.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
I just clicked over to another video. Apparently monkeys and
India are stealing puppies again. So what a morning?
Speaker 8 (12:06):
All right?
Speaker 1 (12:07):
So yeah, yeah, the trapper keeper would have been your
your correct sor it would have been like you could
have had a pencil case, although really the girls had
the pencil cases, and they had an obnoxious amount of
pens and pencils. They had all the colored ones or
the one that like has the six little things that
flick down for different colors, like real og stuff. I
(12:29):
don't think they have any of that anymore. But you're right,
trapper keeper back in the day would have been an
elite weapon, not anymore, all right. So I guess the
moral of the story is, even though we're getting late
in the season, if you still have one of your
kids graduations to go to, maybe do like a Rocky
training montage before you go, because you don't want to share.
(12:52):
The last thing you want to do is get your
behind kicked in front of your kid. I think we
can all agree with that, all right. Eight eight eight
nine three four seven eight seven four. What a way
to start the morning. And we'll truck on next. Hang on,
all right, So I just got an email here from
one of our listeners ross trapper keepers are a thing again.
Speaker 2 (13:12):
Wow, that's cool. They're probably like they like hold like
tablets or something now, or is it just paper and
old school stuff.
Speaker 3 (13:19):
I don't know. It just says I guess maybe he
was chopping for his kid and he said he saw
him at Walmart or whatever.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
I don't go in the school supplier toy aisle because
I don't have kids, and I don't want to end
up on a list, So I don't know, don't know,
let's see here.
Speaker 3 (13:36):
But yeah, all right, so yeah, I'm with Ross.
Speaker 1 (13:39):
I suspect they probably have like a little one of
those adjustable tablet holders because I have a really nice
well that's great. I had a really nice cover for
my new iPad which kind of, you know, it looked
like a trapper keeper, but it looked like one of
those leather bound you know, like meat tablets were redoermally
(14:01):
right in there and it kind of snaps the pad
into there, and uh, I just read. I liked how
strong the damn thing was. But I don't know if
I describe it as a trapper keeper though. But look,
we had like elite weapons back in the day, like
remember snap bracelets, Court Roster.
Speaker 3 (14:20):
Do you have snap bracelets in Schenectady. I'm sure right, yeah.
Speaker 7 (14:22):
No.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
It was scary because they said that it would like
cut open your wrist and you'd bleed it and die.
Speaker 1 (14:27):
Yeah, so you razor sharpen one of those, because I
remember when they break down, like the cloth or whatever,
the fabric around the metal would come off, and then
they would essentially turn into a foldable knife.
Speaker 2 (14:38):
Yeah, but I don't know if that actually ever happened.
I think it's sort of like the razor blade in
the Apple where it's you know, like a myth, like
I don't think it ever actually happened.
Speaker 1 (14:46):
I'm sorry, did you not live in a household or
your mom assumed that a ferret and an ATV were
going to murder you at any more?
Speaker 8 (14:51):
Did?
Speaker 2 (14:51):
And once again, that was a thing that did happen,
But I'm saying this specific one was. I believe it's
an urban legend, Like I don't think it ever happened.
Speaker 1 (14:59):
I think that if you got a trapper keeper has
got some firmness to it. You got enough snap bracelets,
you know how to wield it, and you can throw uh,
what was the big pog.
Speaker 3 (15:09):
The slammer?
Speaker 5 (15:10):
Right?
Speaker 1 (15:11):
That was the heavier pog. You use those like ninja
stars like the other parents. It's not gonna be a
good day for them, how many of you have ever
purchased hair hair Abo. It's such a dumb name. I
can never pronounce it. But the you've you've seen it
h A R I b O. And they make like
(15:31):
gummy bears, right and gummy worms and gummies. They make
gummy stuff, very very very popular brand.
Speaker 7 (15:40):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (15:40):
They've issued a major recall after and whoopsie, apparently some
of their gummies are actually full of weed, which I
guess are not supposed to be.
Speaker 3 (15:54):
Uh. Specifically, what is this um?
Speaker 1 (15:57):
Traditional gummy bears cola the color flavored they have like
Coca cola flavored gummies.
Speaker 3 (16:03):
Does that sound good?
Speaker 5 (16:06):
Well?
Speaker 3 (16:06):
Anyway, the company is investigating how some of their popular
gummy products apparently became tainted with cannabis after several people
reportedly fell ill in the Netherlands. Right, so now you
just you just so you paid so cheap for gummies edibles.
Speaker 2 (16:23):
There's like two things going on here, one of two things, right, yes,
One the manufacturer is secretly like a Gusferring breaking bad
where they're secretly in the business of drug manufacturing, like
in the in the basement of their plant or whatever
or too.
Speaker 9 (16:37):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (16:37):
They just want people to buy their gummy bears. So
it's yes, yeah, no, no, no, this is a marketing thing.
Speaker 1 (16:42):
Yeah, this is like, oh no, one in one hundred
packs is full of weed. You better we do this
is this is the Wonka Golden ticket right here.
Speaker 3 (16:53):
Absolute genius.
Speaker 1 (16:55):
Now, apparently the company, because you look edible and cannabis
filled gummies, some of the companies that produced the traditional
consumer ones also produced the weed ones, which I was
not aware of, but apparently they do. And I guess
because specifically the plant where this was manufactured is a
(17:17):
plant in the Netherlands serving their European market, and you know,
the edible weed is legal there. So they've issued a
recall both in the US and EU. So some of
this stuff apparently got shipped over here, specifically Harribo Happy
Cola Fizz gummies. Apparently several consumers said they felt dizziness
(17:45):
after eating the swill.
Speaker 3 (17:46):
You can't handle your high, that's what's going on here.
Speaker 1 (17:51):
Officials took samples of the gummies that the consumers had bought.
Speaker 3 (17:55):
Sure enough, they're a chock full of weed. What is this?
Speaker 1 (18:07):
I'm trying to figure out how much weed gummies they
They're very they're they're not a lot of details here,
but they do. They do manufacture some. Yeah, you should
probably have those in different plants or rooms at least
it just because some people are not down with that
reminds me. But hey, yeah, what's that.
Speaker 2 (18:23):
We're watching a documentary now in Netflix called The Tail
and All Murders or Killings or something, and it's about
from the day from nineteen eighty two when there was
cyanide and the extra strength pills or whatever. Yeah, the
tablet or the capsules.
Speaker 3 (18:37):
Dude, that changed that. That screwed up the ability to
ever open bottles.
Speaker 2 (18:41):
Yeah, that's now why you have the like the foil
on the inside once you get the cap off. It's
why you have a problem getting the cap off. And
it's why you have the plastic around the cap.
Speaker 3 (18:52):
Thank you who.
Speaker 1 (18:52):
They never caught them, by the way, they never They
never caught whoever poison the time. But just imagine you're
sitting around one day and you're just so angry, like,
I think I have any poison. Some aspirin or islan's
name is Talanol's aspirin or end said, I can't remember.
Speaker 2 (19:07):
It's like its own sort of, it's it's its own.
It's oh okay, Yeah, so, but what's scary about that
story is like how it initially started in Chicago where
you had like a brother die and they were trying
to figure out how did the brother die? And it
was like later on that day, the families around in
the living room and they're obviously like kind of feeling
(19:27):
stressed and you know, headaches, and the sister takes some
of the tailent all and she drops dead and then
it's just all in a span of twenty four hours,
its spiraled out of control.
Speaker 3 (19:37):
I can't did they have a theory where they even
have a suspect that I can't even remember they do.
Speaker 2 (19:41):
You should check it out. It's on Netflix. It's pretty good.
Speaker 3 (19:43):
Now, Yeah, it's been a while since I've aprized myself
with that story.
Speaker 2 (19:48):
Is that all you and Markey watch just like we
watch everything we actually because of Indoor, we just started.
We went through the entire After Indoor, we started the
entire originally Star Wars trilogy. It was like even it
was great up through Return of the Jedi, and then
we started Phantom Menace last week and it's so bad,
Like the drop off, the fall off there is so
but we could not get through Phantom menace. We're like, well,
(20:09):
now we're into something difference. It's so it's so bad.
Speaker 3 (20:13):
Everything's it's been forever since it starts. And it's like
something about a tariffs and in bargo and taxes and
a trade alliance and there's state Trump started the whole thing,
So what.
Speaker 2 (20:26):
Is happening here? And then you have jar Jar Banks,
which is worse than you remember. It's it's not like
it couldn't possibly be. It is.
Speaker 3 (20:34):
I have to fast forward. When they're in the under
undersea city thing.
Speaker 2 (20:38):
It is worse than you remember.
Speaker 3 (20:40):
You're like, oh, it's maybe it's different or maybe there's
gonna be like an astylisha factor.
Speaker 2 (20:43):
Now I'm gonna enjoy it more than them before. No,
it's awful.
Speaker 3 (20:46):
It's Jarge Jar needs is Thailand?
Speaker 2 (20:48):
All yeah, you should try.
Speaker 1 (20:53):
By the way, that's gonna suck for your wife. Did
I see she just had a root canal? And now
she just watched the thing to scare her about Thailand.
Speaker 2 (20:59):
She did yesterday and that was the thing because we
were watching it, and that's all she could take is
Tayland all like you yeah, yeah, I remember when I
had my root canal was a combo of tailand All
and Ivy pro well, especially if you're like pregnant, you're
not supposed to take other stuff. So she's yeah, yeah,
you're like no, no, a leave or ibuprofen or anything
like that.
Speaker 3 (21:17):
So it's okay, Yeah, Like, did you go give me
some talol? Yeah, Random Chicago got you some money your.
Speaker 2 (21:22):
Tablet form to do the capsules. It's scary, yeah, the
Phantom menaces where so now we're done, Like it killed
the vibe, the Star Wars vibe. So we were looking
for someone else to watch, and we started that the
other day.
Speaker 1 (21:33):
Is there any of the six other movies, not the
three original, but of the other six that you actually like?
Speaker 2 (21:38):
I think the one that holds up the best. And
you recently saw this at the box office where it
made like a you know, in another one. Revenge of
the Sith is okay, but the first two are bad,
and the other movies with Ray just I just can't
and Or I cannot express this enough. And Or is
a miracle, especially because it was created by Disney US.
(22:00):
It's a Disney product, but it shows that they can
make this. They can do good Star Wars if they
choose to. And Or is a miracle and it has.
I believe it has saved Star Wars. I can't recommend
it enough. It's really good.
Speaker 3 (22:12):
I was reading an article yesterday, Uh, what is the
video game Oblivion or whatever they're redoing.
Speaker 2 (22:17):
Yeah, the remaster came out.
Speaker 5 (22:18):
Yep.
Speaker 3 (22:19):
Did you see that?
Speaker 7 (22:20):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (22:20):
Did you see the three women who were in charge
of production.
Speaker 2 (22:23):
Yeah, there's that's so dumb because they were also involved
with Skyrim. They've been with the company forever. So that's
why I'm asking.
Speaker 3 (22:29):
Yeah, the scandal around them, they're like, oh, look at
these women with the hair, and they're going to ruin it.
Speaker 2 (22:32):
They're gonna woci fight. And maybe it is because maybe
they have more of a license to do that now
because of of of the past few years or but
I think this is under decline. But the three women
that they called out have literally been with the company
since the since.
Speaker 3 (22:45):
The So it's not a scandal on Twitter.
Speaker 2 (22:50):
The one I know, I know nothing. Yeah, the one
woman they were trying to call out, she's literally been
in charge. She's she from the beginning of Bethesta in
these games. She was the one that created every race
in the game and what they look like. So okay,
it's nothing. People are freaking out over nothing.
Speaker 1 (23:04):
Well, to be fair, like, I understand why people freak out.
How many times have they been literally stabbed in the heart.
Speaker 2 (23:10):
Yeah, that's what I'm saying. So it could be now
they feel like they have they can do whatever they
want to do. But I think after seeing what's happened
with it will be soft in different games in the
industry in the past, like two or three years, there
might be a little maybe we shouldn't go full woke
on this.
Speaker 3 (23:24):
Okay, all right, so that's good because we're going woke
with everything else.
Speaker 2 (23:29):
So I don't know, man, I feel like it's on
the decline. I really do feel like the woke stuff
is on the decline. Really, yeah, I feel like the
pendulum has started to swing back.
Speaker 3 (23:37):
How many of how many trans saints have you read
about in the Bible yet?
Speaker 5 (23:43):
I read?
Speaker 2 (23:44):
I know, I haven't gotten there yet.
Speaker 1 (23:45):
Oh you haven't got the part with like Joanna the Baptist. Okay,
wait till you hear how that ends up. That's the
whole thing. So I saw this yesterday. Uh, Christianity is
long revered saints who would be called transgender today.
Speaker 3 (24:05):
This is the retroactive thing. I don't know if you
know this.
Speaker 1 (24:08):
About once a month somebody writes an article where they're like, hey,
all the people from history, they're all gay or trans
or have uh what.
Speaker 3 (24:17):
Does it have autism? I think they decided everyone had
autism back in the day too, and then they write
these these insane articles.
Speaker 1 (24:27):
Christianity is long revered saints who would be called transgender today.
There are at least thirty four documented stories of transgender
saints' lives are there. I was raised Catholic. I don't
know if you know this. They kind of saints are
a big thing. If you know this, A it's a
big thing, big thing in the Catholicism. And I did
(24:49):
the Catechism, obviously, I grew up in the Catholic Church.
Speaker 3 (24:52):
I don't remember any of this. So so a bunch
of like Saint Eugenia and h.
Speaker 1 (25:02):
The say Marino, right, is there some some of the
ones you actually learned about were actually women pretending to
be men. And then I read the article and I'm like,
you're speculating, right, A little bit of speculation going on here.
And also I don't know if you know this, especially
(25:23):
when you get into old school Catholic Church probably would
have not reacted. Well, you understand what I'm laying down here, right,
going back to I don't know, thirteen hundreds or so
found out that somebody they were about to be outify
was actually somebody pretending to be the other gender. I
(25:47):
feel like that would have not gone well for the
process within the trip.
Speaker 8 (25:52):
What do I know?
Speaker 1 (25:53):
Now, It's not to say, by the way, that there
were not women who pretended to be men for certain reasons.
But it was not because they were trans It was
because they didn't want burned at the stake or uh
you know, do y. There's some military militaristic staff. And
(26:15):
then a time around the time of Reformation, there's a
little of this like there, so you've taken this thing
which was simply kind of like rejecting society's norms, but
not because they honestly thought they were a man. Okay,
they just chopped their hair off whatever, because it wasn't
going well in some of these instances for women and
(26:35):
in very specific cases for San Marino. Right, you can
you look all this stuff up, but it but it
doesn't mean they're like it's like saying that Tom Hanks
Embosom Buddies was trans.
Speaker 3 (26:50):
He wasn't.
Speaker 1 (26:51):
He just wanted cheaper rent. Okay, well that was it, right,
It wasn't. I think it was rent right, or they
wanted to live in that building. I'm trying to remember
the premise of that show. It's been so long.
Speaker 3 (27:01):
But like Tom Hanks, wasn't running around demanding pronoun allegiance. Okay.
Speaker 1 (27:09):
Eugenia Eugenia raised a pagan, join a monastery to learn
more about Christianity, and later became an abbot, but joined
the monastery to escape an unwanted suitor, so so posed
as a man, which I again I think some of
your research is a little soft here. But because you're
(27:31):
a sighting motivation didn't want to essentially get sold into marriage,
that's what's.
Speaker 3 (27:37):
Going on here. Didn't But that's not trans that's hiding.
That's different. And of course you got to sit here
and oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Now people are sending
me other stories, yes, yeah, I can't.
Speaker 1 (27:52):
The number of Founding fathers who were secretly gay, trans
or had autism is wild. Any European scientists from a
time around the time when we were figuring out the
sun earth thing, they always go into those two They're like, oh,
this person had aspergers.
Speaker 3 (28:10):
It was really a woman.
Speaker 2 (28:11):
It's crazy. How too, when you think about like the
sinking of the Titanic, how many men ended up being
trans at the end there? How many being what the
men ended up being trans at the end of the sinking.
Oh yeah, they're like, you know what, super trans you know,
you know, I'm about to go down with the ship
and I just need to be my real self. Give
me that dress.
Speaker 3 (28:31):
Can you imagine not wanting to drown in three hundred
years later, some a whole reporters like, hey, you're like, no,
I didn't want to drown. I don't know it was cold. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (28:45):
Uh these people, man, all right, I'm not going to
read all this insanity. Wait, what's even crazier as these authors?
Alicia Spencer Hall and Blake Gutt also argued that medieval
Christianity saw transness as holy.
Speaker 3 (29:03):
I don't think that's true. I don't know, I don't know,
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (29:08):
If you know a lot about medieval Christianity and early Christianity,
not just early Christianity, but you know religions back in
the day, they really there was this there was a
certain amount of conformity that.
Speaker 3 (29:20):
They really demanded, you know, like gender roles were a thing.
Speaker 1 (29:24):
Yeah, and if you stepped outside those, they wouldn't just
be like you have to go to a new church.
Speaker 3 (29:29):
There were other consequences. So we look, we don't do
that now.
Speaker 1 (29:34):
But you can't pretend like it wasn't a thing, like
like burning people at the steak was a thing. I
don't if you know this, heresy is a thing, and
a modern day apostas apostle, I could never say that.
Speaker 3 (29:50):
They have word.
Speaker 1 (29:51):
But rejecting one's religion is still punishable by death in
most Middle Eastern countries, right, So there's a bat And
so I'm just saying within within the world of organized religion,
over the years.
Speaker 3 (30:05):
People have paid some pretty hefty prices for not conforming.
Speaker 2 (30:09):
So you're saying, like you know, throughout history, uh, medieval
times or whatnot, you know, like the Roman Catholic Church
in Europe, they could be sticklers. That's what you're saying.
Speaker 3 (30:16):
They were sticklers is one word. There was a lot
of sticking with various stuff.
Speaker 1 (30:24):
So true, like if you want to, if you want to,
some of the craziest execution methods were around that time.
Speaker 3 (30:37):
Not good stuff they had. They would sit there and
they would cut they would cut the tongue out, they
would cut the the bits off, like and this was
and this was part of you.
Speaker 1 (30:51):
And then and then even if you then were like no,
you're right, you're right, uh, totally into this religion, then
they'd be like, ah, your soul is saved, and then
they would murder you. Assuming well look he you know
they came around, so now they're gonna go to the
heaven and stuff, right, And I'm I'm not just picking
on the Catholic Church like this is. This is not
(31:12):
a new thing, and it's not even a thing that
completely went away. Is I just evidence where you can
be executed in a country for going I don't feel
like going to church no more. Yeah, I want to
waste my whatever day. I don't want to pray five
times a day. That's way too many.
Speaker 3 (31:29):
That's an executable offense man within the Muslim faith, within
certain Middle Eastern countries, including one where we're putting a
damn Disneyland. So give me this garbage. They were all
secretly trans have you.
Speaker 1 (31:43):
You've seen the you've seen the articles where they're like
Jesus was hooking up with his apostles, right, you want
to get really offensive on this stuff.
Speaker 3 (31:50):
I remember reading that article.
Speaker 1 (31:52):
Probably not Judas though, because he knew he you know,
obviously he's like, ah, one of you will betray me,
and he knew which one. So but yeah, so, I honestly,
I think they people write these articles just outrage Christians
for the clicks. Literary scholar Ronda McDaniel explains that in
(32:13):
tenth century England, adopting the Christian values of shunning wealth, militarism,
and sex made it easier for people to go beyond
strict ideas. So instead of defining gender by separate male
and female values, all individuals could be defined by the
same Christian values. So actually, what you're talking about is
you're talking about the beginnings of equity within a religion.
(32:36):
You're not talking about a trans movement. And also it
took a little while to get there. The Whig Party
was a whole trans political party because men would wear wigs.
That's a good point, Emiller, you should probably write an
article for The New Yorker. They'd sure as help publish
the thing. All right, did you guys see the Epstein update.
(33:00):
I don't know what the hell is going on, but
I'll lay it out for you coming up next. Hang on,
I see some of you want to earn perma blocks
this morning. That's I'm fully aware of the glennar Greenwald thing. Okay,
And if you're not, and you're like, what's he talking,
just don't just don't just don't, okay, But also.
Speaker 3 (33:23):
Don't send that to us. I don't nobody wants to
see that.
Speaker 1 (33:28):
If Glenn Greenwald, who is a grown adult, wants to
don a slutty milk make costume, to have his hands
tied behind his back and make out with some black.
Speaker 3 (33:35):
Dude's foot, that's whatever that's for him. Don't tag us
in that. Don't send me that. I don't even know
the context of it, and I refuse to learn it. Ross.
Speaker 1 (33:46):
Do you know the context of the video? Is it
like somebody's attacking him because they're mad.
Speaker 2 (33:50):
I don't know what it is, but I will come
up when there were several people that tag me in it,
including people that you know call the show often, and
I'm like, this aggression will not stand man, Well, this is.
Speaker 1 (34:01):
A personal attack. And who hasn't done to slutty milk
made costume and been bound right? Who amongst us, right,
I don't need I don't need to see video. Nope,
just okay, all right, this like I don't even I
don't know why it exists. I don't want to know
why it exists. But also you're gonna get yourself on
a list. Leave us out of it.
Speaker 3 (34:23):
Unless there's some criminal thing there or some story other
than whatever. Don't care.
Speaker 1 (34:32):
Now if it's Kate Upton, just hear me out here, right,
maybe maybe yeah, maybe that's different, but no to this, okay,
all right, very good. Apparently kindergarten or kindergarten pen this case,
pre kindergarten melee's are very popular.
Speaker 3 (34:54):
So we opened the show explaining.
Speaker 1 (34:56):
That there was a big old, big old like Vivor series,
a cage match thing going on into kindergarten in outside
of Memphis is where it happened, and the video is insane.
A bunch of parents at a kindergarten graduation decide they're
all gonna throw hands. Probably shouldn't do that, and then
(35:18):
and then the kids aren't even rooting their own parents
on there like crying and stuff and stop. You know
the problem, there's way too some of you're not gonna
like this there's way too many graduations. I've ran it
about this before. You don't need a graduation for kindergarten. Okay,
you sure as hell don't need one for pre K
because apparently a pre K graduation ceremony in where is it?
Speaker 3 (35:42):
Robison County that turned into a giant.
Speaker 1 (35:49):
Fistfight, and that one, we do understand that a family
member of one of the kids asked somebody who was
standing up in front of them if they could sit down,
and that's enough to start punching people over apparently.
Speaker 3 (36:04):
But the bigger issue is, we don't need your kid
doesn't need a graduation for everything.
Speaker 1 (36:10):
It's a bunch of a bunch of six year olds
in cap and gowns. Is ridiculous, and you know what
it is, it's part of it's it's almost the everyone
gets a trophy culture.
Speaker 3 (36:25):
Some hard truths here. Maybe your kids will, you don't.
Speaker 1 (36:27):
You haven't accomplished something yet, I mean accomplished a little something.
Don't get me wrong, right, you're getting into the school thing.
That's going to be a transition, but you haven't achieved
anything yet. I think middle school graduation's a bit sus
I mean, I give you in high school I don't
give you the college.
Speaker 2 (36:45):
I really enjoyed my kids kindergarten graduation. It was a
cute thing for the parents in the time.
Speaker 3 (36:49):
I totally get it. But I'm just saying, in the
in the in the grand scheme of things, you're not
putting it on a resume.
Speaker 10 (36:54):
No. No.
Speaker 2 (36:55):
Back in my day, I don't think I remember. I
don't think we had a kindergarten one. We definitely had
an elementary school. I remember that.
Speaker 1 (37:00):
I remember we had a middle school one and then
a high school. I didn't even go to my high
school one. I graduated, and I graduated early.
Speaker 3 (37:07):
I never went back. Didn't care.
Speaker 1 (37:09):
You know, my photos, not even in my senior yearbook.
That's how little I cared that I'm I'm not taking photos.
I'm not even here anywhere. I was already down in
California at school. I don't get me wrong. I enjoyed
high school. I enjoyed my friends, all of that.
Speaker 3 (37:24):
Didn't care. I think I think I know where my
high school diploma is. I think I know.
Speaker 1 (37:32):
I don't think I've looked at that thing since twenty years.
Didn't want to go through all of it. We just
have way too many graduations. Oh, you learn to not
poop your pants. Let's have a ceremony, right. We need
to save this for major achievements people, and then it
(37:53):
would then limit the ability of people to show up
and be garbage. Humans having fistfights in front of their kids.
Speaker 3 (38:01):
Learn how to act?
Speaker 10 (38:02):
Right?
Speaker 3 (38:02):
Man?
Speaker 1 (38:05):
How many parents were involved in this one in Robeson County?
A hold on, let me open the story here, cant
we were slogged down in this this morning pre k.
Speaker 3 (38:17):
And again it's pre k. It's not even kindergarten, it's
pre K.
Speaker 1 (38:24):
A pre K graduation ceremony on Friday at the Red
Springs Head Start Center abruptly ended after a fight broke
out involving multiple people. Chief Police Chief Sarah Purcell said
they're actively investigating and reviewing the schools surveillance video, along
with any cell phone footage of the melee. Purcell said
(38:45):
the fight started with a relative of one of the
little graduates. Why do you put the word little in there?
I assume they're all little.
Speaker 3 (38:53):
You had grown.
Speaker 1 (38:54):
Adults graduating pre K. You don't have to specify. Purcell
said the fight started when a relative of one of
the little graduates ask someone to move so they could
see their kid. That's what's even crazier in our society.
That's a perfectly reasonable request, if it depending on how
you do it, right, Remember when we used to not
be horrible to each other in these situations.
Speaker 2 (39:16):
That's what I was saying before in the first segment
about the kindergarten. They're in Memphis or wherever it was
where it's yeah, outside of it. Yeah, you have the
parents here, and it's you've got to understand that there
are other parents there with other kids. And you know,
one thing you learn, especially in pre k kindergarten, is
to share, right, Yeah, that's a big thing, right, and
to cooperate with each other. And it's just come on,
(39:37):
act like adults.
Speaker 3 (39:38):
Man. That's woke garbage man, every man for themselves, right,
that's what you're teaching your kids. Uh yeah, hey, uh
do you mind?
Speaker 1 (39:49):
I want to take a picture of my kid because
they're crossing the thing. Punch in the face, you get
punched in the face. I mean, this is where we are.
It's just crazy.
Speaker 2 (39:56):
That's why a lot of this stuff happens. You like,
wonder why the kids act a certain ways because their parents? Yes, oh,
I mean, I mean it's the old you know, fried
egg in the pan. I learned it from watching you dad,
You know right.
Speaker 1 (40:10):
Well, I just all that kid learned how to do
is just smoke a joint properly. Here they're punching people.
Speaker 3 (40:16):
By the way, if you're gonna do drugs, apparently want
to do mushrooms. What a fun transition this is gonna be.
Two hikers in New York's Adirondack Mountains had to call
nine to one one to report a third member of
their party had died. That's worst case scenario.
Speaker 1 (40:32):
Man, You get back, you're doing backcountry, you're hiking back there,
somebody gets hurt, somebody gets.
Speaker 3 (40:36):
Injured, God forbid, somebody dies. Now you got to deal
with that.
Speaker 1 (40:41):
Had a buddy who broke a leg when we were
back in the mountains man, and he really, he really
wanted helicoptered out of there. And then they were like,
you can't fly a helicopter in the middle of the
freaking woods man. So they ended up literally taking them
out on horseback. It's the most wyoming thing ever.
Speaker 3 (40:58):
But like, she didn't die. These poor people they're back there,
their their buddy dies.
Speaker 1 (41:06):
Now they got to call nine to one one. The
state forest rangers got to come out. They got to
get figure out how they're gonna get the body out.
This was a Cascade Mountain area. I don't know exactly where.
That is part of the Adirondack High Peak, so it
sounds a very remote area. The two hikers called nine
one one uh and also talk to a steward.
Speaker 3 (41:26):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (41:27):
I'm assuming that somebody works for the forest there on
the mountain summit that they were lost. One problem though,
their buddy didn't die. They were all just tripping on mushrooms.
Speaker 2 (41:45):
So there I was right way that we were camping
them Mount Vesuvius.
Speaker 3 (41:50):
Yeah, oh well this is page camp there.
Speaker 2 (41:52):
Well this is probably back at like two thousand and four.
Speaker 3 (41:55):
It's been an active volcano longer though.
Speaker 2 (41:57):
Okay, anyway, my buddy roy Felt fell off Mount Vesuvius.
Speaker 3 (42:02):
Oh no, not Roy, Yeah, into the.
Speaker 2 (42:06):
Cold, straight down into the mouth of the beast. Oh man,
there was a beast there at the base of Mount Vesuvius,
I would assume.
Speaker 9 (42:13):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (42:14):
And after it we we we we were in a panic.
And then it turned out we weren't even on Mount Vesuvius.
We were out a chili's Roy wasn't even there.
Speaker 3 (42:24):
I don't even know, Roy, do you have the baby
back ribs?
Speaker 2 (42:26):
We did?
Speaker 3 (42:27):
Oh, that's good, okay.
Speaker 1 (42:29):
The two hikers who called down one one eventually met
up with one of the rangers, who then accompanied them
to their website to retrieve their friend's body, only to
determine that they were in quote an altered mental state.
And when they showed up at the campground there was
the third dude, also high on mushrooms.
Speaker 2 (42:48):
They had to be like super weirded out when they
when he showed up.
Speaker 1 (42:51):
He's a ghost. Yeah, our friends a ghost. But like
I got, you can't even because you tortured some poor
guy on mushrooms.
Speaker 2 (43:02):
I was gonna say, like this, this story is really
funny for me because I you know, I've been completely
honest in the show in the past about you know,
I've been in radio since nineteen ninety seven, right right,
I've seen some stuff in my twenties were really fun,
so I might have some experience with some of this.
Not now, you know, I'm like super clean, living and
sober now. But yeah, my twenties were fun and I
have had some experience, so I can imagine, like you
(43:24):
think your buddy dies and then he shows back up
and like you.
Speaker 3 (43:27):
Just start screaming the rangers like, oh my god. They
lose their mind, like he's a day walker. Wow, he's
a skid walker.
Speaker 1 (43:35):
Just as you understand how much fun Ross had he
put a poor man in a closet and tortured him
with movie posters. So if I'm telling that right, was
that mushrooms your friend was on?
Speaker 3 (43:47):
Try to remember what it was?
Speaker 2 (43:49):
Yeah, this giant walking closet. And he was like he
thought the cops were there, so he ran into the
giant walking closet. He threw in all the I mean,
it's a massive closet. I don't even know how it was.
It didn't fit the apartment. It was super weird. So
he goes in the back of the closet and he
takes all the coats and all everything off the hangars
and throws it on himself and lies flat like he's
(44:09):
hiding from the cops that are.
Speaker 3 (44:11):
Not Yeah, and they get you if you're under coats.
Speaker 2 (44:13):
Yeah, me and my buddy Bob, we decide that we're
going to take we at the time, we collected all
these giant movie posters and these black frames, so we
decided that we were going to take them off the wall,
and then we walked to the entrance of the giant
walking clause that we go, they're coming for you, buddy,
and we started throwing the frames at him and he's
on the ground just like convulsing, thinking he's in attacked.
(44:35):
H fantastic, all the lolls.
Speaker 3 (44:37):
Yeah, good stuff.
Speaker 1 (44:40):
It ever have you ever were you ever in a
house party situation when the cops showed up and everybody
runs and hides, and then right there you determine who's
an idiot.
Speaker 8 (44:48):
I's not.
Speaker 2 (44:48):
I was the one that threw those parties.
Speaker 3 (44:51):
Yeah, oh yeah, no, Me and me and some roommates
had our house. We had a massive party at our
house and we ended up.
Speaker 2 (44:56):
It was it did not go well and I kill It.
Speaker 1 (44:58):
Was crazy as there was like thirty people all hiding
in this house, had like five bedrooms, a huge house.
But like people, you realize the kids that sucked at
hide and go seek back in the day, Yeah, they're like,
I'm gonna hold still against the wall.
Speaker 2 (45:12):
I can see you, yeah, and I would answer the door.
I remember the first time that happened. Once again, early
twenties life experience not now completely different. I've learned list,
but you know, I had my fun. But I remember
opening the door. It was like in the middle of
the night, and then somebody knocked on the door, like
who's that. I open it and there's like three cops
and like dogs, and I remember looking at the dog
(45:32):
going look at you cute, you know, Poppy Arch, not
realizing why the dog was there. Right, like right, everything
was fine, nobody was arrest and everything's fine. But you know, yeah,
some people run.
Speaker 3 (45:43):
Were they strippers or not? They were not, No, they
were not.
Speaker 1 (45:46):
Okay, I don't know why they would bring dogs if
they were strippers, but whatever.
Speaker 8 (45:50):
So we did that.
Speaker 2 (45:52):
Though. We would mess with the people that would come
to the party because my roommate he worked security at
a uh and an adult store. Hm hmm, so he
would he would be security there. This is annoying an
ABC store, huh sure, so he would. He had like
a cop uniform they get like a rental cop uniform.
(46:14):
But in the middle of the party, he would knock
on the door. We would plan it out and he
would act like he was the cops and come in
just to scare the crap out of everybody.
Speaker 3 (46:20):
That's good stuff. So the so one of our neighbor
crawled in she so she she crawled into the crawl
space in the basement when the cops showed up, and
she fell asleep in there, oh dude, for like two hours,
and we all thought she had gone home.
Speaker 1 (46:38):
We thought because a bunch of people ran out in
the backyard. We just assumed she went home because she
lived just down the street. And then like later we
see her going to the bathroom and we're.
Speaker 2 (46:47):
Like, where did you come from?
Speaker 3 (46:49):
Where'd she come from?
Speaker 1 (46:50):
And she had she had literally crawled the crawl space,
which I you know, had like it had like boxes
and coats and a bunch of stuff stored in there,
so I guess it was uh, but also it had
a lot of bugs I remember back in the day.
So she was pretty hammered. So just slept in there. No,
didn't get a ticket or nothing.
Speaker 3 (47:06):
So good on her.
Speaker 1 (47:07):
All right, seven twenty here on the Cacoda Radio program.
So if you're gonna do mushrooms and you think your
friend dies and then they come back, they might be
a ghost. I think that's probably the moral of the
story here. Uh, all right, you're on the you're on
the Glenn Greenwold list there you go, block and he blocked, block,
(47:29):
blocked all of you, all right, seven twenty one, hang out.
My business partner were selling nothing but tar and feathers,
right and and the and then y' all can buy
it for whoever's I just got the third email, and uh, look,
I understand it's anecdotal, but they're all saying the same thing.
And this is New Hanover County, so uh you know,
(47:51):
uh down towards Wilmington. We got some listeners down there
because we've got a big old signal who say that
the county person of their property to just going up
ninety percent?
Speaker 3 (48:03):
Is that accurate? I've heard some horror stories from many
of you in many different counties.
Speaker 2 (48:07):
You have got a friend, a pastor friend that lives
in Fayeville and he occaually the same thing happened. It's
like it's making you know, you've lived in your house forever,
and probably it goes up and makes your your insurance
go up, and the mortgage, everything goes up, and suddenly
the house you've been living in for decades you can't afford.
Speaker 3 (48:22):
Me.
Speaker 1 (48:22):
Just think of let's say that, let's say you're you're
you got an average hume. Let's say your your taxes
are fifteen hundred a year, all right, that's probably that's
probably in the window for many counties. And now it's
twelve hundred dollars more thirteen hundred with thirteen hundred dollars
more more than one hundred dollars per month in additional
property tax. And that's just the county portion. Who the
(48:45):
hell are these people? Just the audacity of it, man,
this lunatic. I just played the commercial court. Now you
got the hiccups. Really, that's great. On ross talking about
tarring and feathering, somebody got drinks of.
Speaker 2 (49:04):
Water, right, So the feathers are super nice. They come
from Mount Vesuvius. They're indigenous to the area. Now the tar,
the tar is the kind there were Man, this is
like good tar. Like yeah, this is like Chapel Hill
tar heel. This is why they're called this right right.
We were actually importing it from Chapel Hill. They were
People's Republic of Chapel Hill. So you know you're getting
a good benefit. Use use what is the promo code
(49:26):
Hayes one hundred to check out why is your name
on it? I started the company you've been bought out.
I bought all the shares.
Speaker 3 (49:33):
Oh no, yeah, hostile takeover all right. Should have seen
that coming.
Speaker 1 (49:36):
So anyway, like and and some of the stories I've
heard you said from Fayetteville. There's one I try to
remember which county, and the Triad was hammering people too.
And wait, don't even get me started on Wake County.
Wake County when one of the early people, I.
Speaker 2 (49:53):
Was about to say, Wake County has also had like
a big increase air. I know my mortgage payment has
gone up because of it.
Speaker 5 (49:59):
Stupid. What are they doing with it?
Speaker 9 (50:04):
What do they do?
Speaker 3 (50:04):
And this is the thing too, like I saw I
heard Kyle and News say that sixty six people moved
to North Carolina every year. Was it the Triangle every day?
Or was it North? It has to be the Triangle,
not North because there's sixty six people. Shouldn't that less.
Speaker 1 (50:22):
I understand that there is going to be an additional
need for services, but a lot of it's factored into
the total population size.
Speaker 3 (50:28):
You get sixty six new people, the hell are you
doing raising taxes that much?
Speaker 1 (50:34):
These And it's because these local especially in the larger cities,
these you know, the county commissioners, the city, county.
Speaker 3 (50:40):
They've all been captured. Man, just chalk full of moonbats.
Speaker 1 (50:43):
That's why some guy can run around probably get elected
mayor in New York because he's essentially bribing people.
Speaker 3 (50:50):
No, we need to bring tarn and feathering back. These
those were days.
Speaker 2 (50:54):
Yeah, man, these people come, you know, and understand it's
ridiculous right now, Like it's not nothing like when we
were younger starting out, Like when my rent my first
apartment in Morehead City was like five hundred dollars, maybe
it was that much, but.
Speaker 1 (51:05):
Three my rent was three hundred and fifty in Wyoming
the first summer I came back right from college, and
I remember I was like three fifty.
Speaker 3 (51:13):
How am I going to afford that? Right?
Speaker 2 (51:15):
And now you've got like kids starting out and the
rent is like two thousand plus, Like a lot of
people paying more for rent that I pay for my
mortgage payment every single month, which is ridiculous. But these
a lot of these people, and I'm not blaming them necessarily,
but you know, the people complaining about the rent, or
the these younger people or people that vote blue where
every time there's like a bond or something up for election,
they vote everything on it, and then everything goes up
(51:37):
because you know, you're the fees of everything are going up,
and then the people that own the land are like, well,
I'm just gonna raise the price so I can taxes
on it, and that affects the renters.
Speaker 1 (51:47):
Right, Yeah, I understand if you're a landlord and you're
just let's say your taxes did go up ninety percent.
Speaker 3 (51:54):
You either got to eat that or pass it along.
Speaker 2 (51:56):
When's the last time and maybe there was one, when's
the last time that you know one of these in
Wake Forest was on the ballot and it was not
or in Wake County was on the ballot and it
was not voted for it.
Speaker 3 (52:05):
The I don't think they ever.
Speaker 1 (52:06):
I don't think in the fifteen years or whatever I've
been voting in Wake County, I've probably seen and you
you as well, we've probably seen twenty bonds.
Speaker 3 (52:15):
If they pass every time I stop doing that, stop voting.
They're the same bonds for the same things.
Speaker 2 (52:19):
And that's that's the only way I see it. Like,
every time I see a bond in the ballot, I'm like,
this is gonna make everything go up, and I'm tired
of everything going up. Someone to vote no every time.
Speaker 3 (52:27):
And they're all like, we had three in a row
for parks. Are there new parks? Where's the new park?
Speaker 1 (52:33):
I live across the street from apart my house and
Rally's across the street from a park. I'm not telling you,
psychos which one it's.
Speaker 3 (52:39):
It's it's been the same. I think they redid the
bathrooms a few years ago. It's just it's just there's
a field there, people go play. There's a school nearby.
Speaker 1 (52:51):
Sometimes the kids come over and do really loud things
over there, especially at the end of the year, or
they have like these because they don't want to teach
them anything. So the last few days school is always like,
let's bring an amplification system to this park and blasted
at Casey's house.
Speaker 5 (53:06):
That's what they do.
Speaker 3 (53:08):
But whatever the park. But every year there's a damn
park bond. What are we doing with it?
Speaker 1 (53:17):
I mean, the only last big renovation of a park,
not counting the pulling Dick's Park complex in the wake
Forest area was was what more Square? Where they redid
more square so they could fit more hoboes in there,
give more benches to sleep on, and then open a
hot dog stand that nobody goes to because there's too
many hobos. You just get panhandled trying to walk. You
(53:39):
can't even go to marbles without getting panhandled.
Speaker 3 (53:42):
You go to the IMAX. There is that what I
paid for? I guess ross. They got big.
Speaker 1 (53:50):
They got a big, beautiful new park near your house.
All that money they took from you?
Speaker 3 (53:54):
Probably not. Now what do you have? You have condos
that blot out the sun.
Speaker 1 (53:59):
That's what you got, which feasibly should have now pay
you know, because of the cost of those, should pay
more into the system if it's based on a percentage.
So why you gotta go jack everybody else's property taxes?
Speaker 3 (54:14):
No tarn and feathering.
Speaker 1 (54:15):
By the way, I want to be clear, I don't
want you to physically abduct an elected official and tarn
feather them, but I want you to think.
Speaker 3 (54:21):
It's a good idea. All right, hold on, all right,
Sam's gonna fill us in. Yes, Sam, what's up?
Speaker 10 (54:30):
Hell?
Speaker 5 (54:31):
Anything I can do?
Speaker 7 (54:32):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (54:33):
Yeah, you're on the air, sir. You go right ahead.
Speaker 9 (54:35):
Hey, Hey, Casey, how are you this morning?
Speaker 3 (54:38):
I'm angry. I want to turn feather people, but not really,
so I'm with you, dude.
Speaker 9 (54:43):
So you ask where the money goes this year when
there wasn't enough money to fund our schools in the budget.
There's a dog pound gonna be built out on Auburn
Nightdale Road. Eight thousand square feet dog school for a
dog pound and one hundred and ten acres.
Speaker 3 (55:08):
You say you say you said dog point. Do you
mean an actual dog pound?
Speaker 9 (55:12):
Sir? A dog pound on class A what normally would
you know? You'd see a food line and a retail
shopping center. They're going to put a fifty eight thousand
pound retail dogtown.
Speaker 6 (55:27):
Jeez.
Speaker 1 (55:30):
I've been to the Wake County Animal Shelter and I
understand the size limitations there. I'm assuming it's an expansion
of that.
Speaker 9 (55:37):
Sure, and normally the community would respond by increasing the
size of the facility and they'd go put it on
the landfill where it belongs. But this is grade age
retail space, and they're going to put this They perceived
the dog pound is what should be a retail almost
(55:59):
entertainment district, so people can come and visit the two
hundred and sixty five dogs that live there.
Speaker 3 (56:05):
Can we dip elected officials in like a beef broth
and throw them in there?
Speaker 5 (56:12):
Yeah, I hear you did okay, thank you much.
Speaker 3 (56:15):
That'd be a way too good, Beef Broth. Thanks for
the call there, I saw it.
Speaker 1 (56:19):
There was another stat in the news yesterday that the
average first time home buyer age is about to eclipse forty.
That's crazy. The average age of first time home buyer
in the US is soon going to be.
Speaker 3 (56:34):
Forty years old. And I think it's actually higher, AS's
like forty one or something. What are we doing? What
are we doing? Cjy, what's up?
Speaker 8 (56:44):
Oh?
Speaker 10 (56:44):
Yes, sir, do you guys talk about tax increases in
Franklin County. I have a buildings to be assessed at
two hundred and sixty thousand. They just reassessed it at
one point five to eight mil.
Speaker 1 (56:55):
Oh okay, Well, the people would tell you to quit
whining because you have all that equity now, sir.
Speaker 9 (57:00):
Well, and they did.
Speaker 10 (57:01):
I called and I expressed my concern and the lady
said that's just how it is. And I said, man,
I'm not trying to be rude or anything, and I
hope you don't take my frustration personally, but this is ridiculous.
And she says, sir, I live and I work here
in this tax office, and I'm not happy either. And
I said, where's all the money going? Because you know,
you know how people talk about these tax increases, they
(57:21):
are supposed to help our schools. Well, what about this
this lottery thing where all these billions of dollars are
raised for our schools and we don't get one penny
of it?
Speaker 3 (57:30):
Think about Well that's not true, sir. I think I
read that they would get between three and five percent
of it. So it's just ridiculous.
Speaker 10 (57:38):
Hey, man, I want to get into the lottery business.
You and I will split the difference.
Speaker 3 (57:42):
Yeah. Well yeah, I'm already in the tar and feather
business or very busy there.
Speaker 10 (57:45):
I like that too.
Speaker 5 (57:46):
Well, thank you for your time, all right, Yeah.
Speaker 3 (57:48):
You have yourself a good one. Yeah, it's just I mean,
there's I don't know, now, there is a way to
do this, right, There is a way to do this,
and it works like this. And I remember cities in
Minnesota used to do their budgets this way, and I thought, oh, okay,
well that actually makes sense because it would guard against
(58:10):
rapid tax increases because you know, it's not just one. Yeah,
there's gonna be situations where a piece of particular piece
of property becomes much more valuable because I don't know,
maybe there's a new road that's going to provide access,
maybe they run utilities there and that increctly, and I
understand all of that, but the way it works like this,
So the city would say, all right, we need one
hundred million to run the city. Okay, we need a
(58:32):
hundred million, and let's say and just hypothetically, let's say
you need a hundred million and he got a hundred residents.
I know that's insane, but everybody's liability to be what
a million dollars? Okay, I just I mean, you're trying
to use easy numbers.
Speaker 1 (58:47):
Let's say that the value, and then it's assessed based
on the value of your property. So if you're home,
it wouldn't be a million for everybody, because one guy's
house is worth twice as much, so he's got tys
twice as much tax liability. However, the next year, if
the value of everyone's home goes up, but you still
(59:08):
only need one hundred million to run the city, your
taxes really don't go up because you're paying an allocated
percentage based on your property, and if everybody's property went
up fifty percent wouldn't adjust your taxes. That's not how
we do it, because then you can't shoehorn in a
bunch of giant increases. So then I get emails from
(59:32):
people going, they're going to raise my county property tax
ninety percent. It's already insane that you get county property
tax on your car. Just a money suck. And I
appreciate the changes at the state level, but something's got
to give at the county and local levels, especially if
you live in a community that is a high demand
(59:55):
community where people are moving in, moving in, moving in,
and you know, Raley be a good example of that.
Blowing up, just absolutely blowing up.
Speaker 3 (01:00:05):
Man.
Speaker 1 (01:00:06):
All right, Oh we're on the comrades today. Okay, all right,
raced agic from the Wetherschad. We try to figure that out. So, oh,
I don't know the same thing.
Speaker 3 (01:00:15):
Oh the whole reason we're gonna be on the comrades.
But then the thing didn't happen, and it's a whole thing.
Speaker 4 (01:00:21):
Oh I just dialed. I was like an autopiled that.
I didn't even think. We'll wait yesterday and the day
before we were on the phone and the science right, yeah, well.
Speaker 1 (01:00:29):
We had a U we had we had one of
our national broadcasters was using our building, so they needed
uh what you normally call in and then they.
Speaker 3 (01:00:39):
Didn't show up or something, so yeah, good. Fortunately I
had to get up Ross, I had to get up
this morning. You're up this morning.
Speaker 5 (01:00:46):
So yeah, we're all so lucky. So no, not so
lucky at all.
Speaker 3 (01:00:49):
All right, what's going on? Give us something to be
happy about this weekend? Because I'm just angry today, So yeah.
Speaker 4 (01:00:54):
I think it improves as time goes by. May have
to deal with some severe weather today west to east.
Let's just say try it first because the storms are
coming from the west, and let's make that timeframe from
about noon on depends on how far west you go
and rolling east through this evening, so it's gonna be
quick moving. So only in a couple hours where you'll
be threatened by severe weather. Most of us are in
(01:01:15):
a slight risk. Could be some strong damaging winds, some hail,
maybe an isolated tornado, so just be on your guard
this afternoon. Could be some rough weather around. Watch out
of the downpours too. They could sell you on the roadways.
Upper seventies to low eighties. Showers and thunderstorms diminished early
tonight and then clearing some sun and clouds tomorrow, maybe
a stray shower storm upper seventies, slight chance of an
(01:01:37):
afternoon shower on Sunday, So we slowly start improving each
day through the weekend. Sunday's high close to eighty degrees.
Early next week through about Wednesday, actually look a real
nice around here with plenty of sun and could start
seeing temperatures inch up toward ninety degrees, So case a
little rough weather to deal with, likely shower storms that
(01:01:57):
may be severe today, and then I think slowly will
start improving tomorrow, just a little rain around even less
on Sunday, and temperatures then early next week start to
come up and start feeling like summertime as we get
into meteorological summer on Sunday, so that starts Lantic hurricane
season starts.
Speaker 3 (01:02:13):
Have your own summer, Yeah, own summer.
Speaker 5 (01:02:16):
Thanks, Yeah, we are, we'd like to think.
Speaker 3 (01:02:17):
So anyway, that's it all right, you know, Ross and
are going to make up your own seasons, and you
will make you abide by those.
Speaker 5 (01:02:23):
So yeah, yeah, what do you want to do.
Speaker 4 (01:02:26):
Right, Well, you've got looks right, so you've got you
kind of abide by books fall spring's.
Speaker 6 (01:02:33):
Kind of.
Speaker 3 (01:02:36):
Get thirteen months now?
Speaker 5 (01:02:37):
Well, yeah, got it all right?
Speaker 1 (01:02:41):
I got a roll, Thank you Ross. What is every
man's worst nightmare in a bathroom? Go into a bathroom
and this happens to you? What is top three nightmare
fuel that can happen to ADU in a restroom?
Speaker 2 (01:02:55):
Yeah, like you're sitting down and something like bites it off.
Speaker 3 (01:02:58):
That story.
Speaker 1 (01:02:59):
Next, when you go in to use the bathroom, you
look in the toilet first, right or is that not normal?
Speaker 3 (01:03:07):
And that's just me? Don't you kind of look see
what's going on in there?
Speaker 2 (01:03:11):
Like every time?
Speaker 3 (01:03:12):
Every time mostly just like did somebody not flush?
Speaker 1 (01:03:15):
What's going on here? Make sure there's water in there?
You check the toilet sea position if it's the middle
of the night. This dude, but I think he will
going forward. They oh, they don't identify him. Well, I
guess he didn't technically do anything illegal. A thirty eight
year old man was using the bathroom when all of
(01:03:38):
a sudden, he said, he felt a sudden, sharp pain
and looked down, only to discover an eleven foot python's
jaws clamped around his business. I guess maybe he thought
it was a mouse or something. I don't know, so
the python is fully clamped around that, at which point
(01:04:00):
he said he started yelling for his wife, who called
emergency services and then came into the bathroom and wrestled
the snake to try to free it from her husband's
at which point the thirty eight ro man is said
to have passed out from the pain and woke up
to find emergency services arriving, and that his wife had
(01:04:24):
tied a rope around the snake's head to keep it
from slithering away.
Speaker 3 (01:04:29):
That's love, man, dude, your wife is uh, she's that's a.
That's a. That's that's wifey.
Speaker 2 (01:04:35):
Materials say he married a badass.
Speaker 1 (01:04:39):
Cac O Day Radio program our number three Happy Friday,
and even though it was you know, short and week
with just four days, luckily the news cycle was able
to pack.
Speaker 3 (01:04:50):
As much as as much insanity as possible. So to
help us go through some of that and we WI
come in Pete Calender middays w B T joining us.
How you doing, sir, I'm doing okay.
Speaker 8 (01:05:01):
How are you?
Speaker 3 (01:05:03):
Yeah, I'm good.
Speaker 1 (01:05:04):
I'm sorry We're going to have to start this or
I kind of make you mad again. But just to
recap last week, we talked about the people the fraud
with the Paycheck Protection Act.
Speaker 3 (01:05:17):
Right, we have that story.
Speaker 6 (01:05:18):
Yeah, you died.
Speaker 3 (01:05:20):
You were explaining how angry it made you for very
good reason. If you want to recap that before I
make you angry again.
Speaker 8 (01:05:28):
Oh do you want me?
Speaker 3 (01:05:30):
Yeah? Yeah, just recap in case people didn't hear what
the what the prize is?
Speaker 8 (01:05:34):
Yeah, before you're you're you're like specifically inducing the anger
by making me recap. Okay, it's what we do.
Speaker 3 (01:05:42):
We do talk radio. We're here to make.
Speaker 10 (01:05:45):
Okay fair enough.
Speaker 8 (01:05:46):
Yes, So we have a Charlotte City council woman elected
in her first term in twenty twenty three, and last
week she was indicted a little bit over a week ago,
I guess. She was indicted by federal grand jury for
fraudulently filing applications for COVID loans like the PvP the EIDL,
(01:06:07):
And that occurred before she was on council and before
she ran for election, And so she got indicted along
with her two daughters who are adults, and they all
filed basically identical paperwork, and they cited documents like Schedule
CRS tax forms that were never actually filed with the IRS.
(01:06:29):
So they just fabricated some scheduled c forms and after
she was indicted, she claims she's completely innocent, and when
she was made aware of the scrutiny of the loans,
she immediately paid back twenty thousand dollars twenty one hundred
dollars or twenty one thousand dollars, So that means obviously
that she has nothing to hide, although when she called
(01:06:51):
her press conference claiming that only an innocent person would
do that and sit and answer questions, she then refused
to answer a whole bunch of questions. She appeared on
I guess it would have been Friday in Setal Court
for her arraignment on bond. She was given an unsecured
bond and could not then resist telling the media on
(01:07:12):
the way out the door that she is not going
to resign. The people voted for her and she sees
no reason to step aside because she paid it back
and that's what an innocent person would do, and a
third party had filled out those forms, not her. She
did not identify the third party. But then she got
in her car and took off, and then there was
(01:07:35):
a town hall meeting. Actually I think it was Yeah, Wednesday.
It was already pre planned. She appeared, yes, in her
district three, and she appears at the town hall, and
quite surprisingly, not a single person who came to the
town hall had anything to ask or say about the indictment.
(01:07:57):
That's weird, right, Oh, I forgot to mention this woman
also served time in federal prison back in the ninety
for fraud.
Speaker 3 (01:08:08):
Okay, so a pattern, some would say, there might be
a pattern there.
Speaker 8 (01:08:12):
I will.
Speaker 1 (01:08:12):
We talked about that last week. Yes, I did not
realize how amateur hour it was. Oh yeah, she's not
even putting real numbers up. I got three stories in
my stack today. I don't even know where to start.
Let me start with this. The Department of Justice charged
six individuals, including a USDA employee, for and this number
(01:08:35):
is insane.
Speaker 3 (01:08:35):
All right, you're gonna think I'm made. You think that
I'm getting I'm reading it wrong.
Speaker 1 (01:08:41):
The the food stamp fraud, which the DOJ estimates amassed
nearly sixty six million dollars in fraudulent transactions, basically required
her and her cohorts to create one hundred This is
what is alleged create one hundred and sixty unauthorized ebt terminals.
(01:09:05):
She would then issue essentially fraudulent EBT cards. They'd go
run them through the terminals. The terminal then would get
reimbursed as the program did. And they've been doing this
since twenty nineteen and it is now only coming to light.
Speaker 3 (01:09:19):
That's sort number one. That's story number one. Story number two.
Speaker 1 (01:09:23):
The Trump administration is expected to pause Job Corps, claiming
there is nearly two billion dollars in wasteful or fraudulent
spending within that And a Raleigh pastor was just indicted
for a half million dollars of the PP the loan
fraud with the COVID dollars.
Speaker 3 (01:09:42):
So like, in a way, this woman could have done more.
Speaker 8 (01:09:46):
Yeah, Tiajuana Brown, that's her name, is Charlotte City council woman.
And that's not a misspeak. It's Tia Wanna but not
spelled like the city. Yeah, she seems downright restraint in
her alleged fraud compared to those other examples. But here's
the thing, and she doesn't I guess understand this from
maybe nobody has told her, is that the FEDS make
(01:10:10):
it a point to crack down harder on elected officials
because versus private citizens, because of the corrosive effect that
it has in the society when people who are elected
to public office engage in this kind of behavior. And
to date, I am not aware of a single Democrat
(01:10:31):
colleague on city council, at the county level, any Democrat
Party officials, state Democrat Party officials, Not a single person
has come out and said that she needs to resign
her seat. Nobody, which is that.
Speaker 3 (01:10:46):
Would be racist. I saw people on Twitter saying that
she should not have to resign because it would be racist,
which they didn't back up why it would be racist
other than she's not, I guess, but.
Speaker 8 (01:11:03):
So well, and and that's and that's part of the
issue here. I mean, the Charlotte City Council is nine
Democrats and eleven out of eleven members, and all of
those Democrats are in fact black, So any Democrat colleague
of hers, those and there are there are some on
the council that don't agree with her, that that vote
against hers. There's a you know, two different blocks of
(01:11:25):
the Democrat voters based or Democrat council members that vote
against each other and such. And there are two Republicans
who are basically after thoughts, but they can they can
you know, swing votes, if the if the blocks are
sufficiently evenly divided, so it's not it's not at all racist.
And this is another example. You use the word racist
for any kind of criticism of a black elected official,
(01:11:49):
and the word then loses its power. In fact, there
was an open letter written by a local an activist
in her district, Robin Emmons, that went the viral in
the Charlotte area where she outlined all of the problems
from Tijuana Brown to our sheriff Gary not my fault McFadden,
where nothing is ever his fault. And then there you know,
(01:12:12):
the police chief payout on the Charlotte City Council. All
of this stuff going on, and this is this is
eroding confidence in you know, among the public. And you
know she said that, uh, you know, things need to change.
People need to hold themselves more accountable and be you
are held to a higher standard as an elected official,
and her colleagues should be holding her to a higher standard. Uh,
(01:12:34):
Robin Emans, the author of that open letter is a
black female and a food activist and farmer in the district.
And well she's yeah, so she raises crops and then yeah,
she's a farmer raises crops and then created this activism
(01:12:56):
enterprise around getting fresh produce into underserved communities in the
Charlotte area. Or they donate and you've got a whole
bunch of farmers that then uh, you know, give portions
of their yields to the local schools or food or
food banks.
Speaker 3 (01:13:13):
And WHATNOTT has a bad you know, as a negative
connotation a lot of times. Okay, I'm done with that.
Speaker 8 (01:13:20):
Good, right. So yeah, so she so here's the person
who's actually trying to you know, be the change and
to solve some problems and such. And then she looks
over and sees, you know, this convicted felon who is
elected to the Charlotte City Council and is now indicted
for another fraud. And she's like, I'm not going to
resign and my and she keeps saying, my colleagues stand
(01:13:42):
with me, They're supporting me, and I see no evidence
of that. But I haven't seen any evidence of them
saying anything to the effect that she needs to step down,
Like where is our chamber of commerce? Where or our
business leaders? This stuff has an impact on the brand
of Charlotte. And when you see the types of stories
that are coming out over the last you know month,
(01:14:03):
This is this is not helpful in recruitment and retention.
People don't want to open businesses in areas that they
think are corrupt because they don't want to have to
play that kind of a game in order to be successful.
Speaker 1 (01:14:16):
Yeah, but my reason, and let me just broaden this
back to where we are. Like all of those stories
that I just told you were just in the news
cycle yesterday.
Speaker 3 (01:14:27):
You know, sixty six.
Speaker 1 (01:14:28):
Million in food stamp fraud sixty six Do you know
how hard you have to work to steal sixty six
million dollars one EBT card at a time? And and
yesterday I'm greeted with a panel of Democrat reps on
like CNN talking about how the first thing they're going
to do if they regain power is investigate Elon Muskin doge.
Speaker 8 (01:14:50):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (01:14:51):
Right.
Speaker 1 (01:14:51):
And and you know, in a lot of in in China,
they just executed a CEO for stealing what fifty million
In the Philippines, they're probably going to execute that woman
who owns all owns all the land there.
Speaker 3 (01:15:03):
She's like one of the biggest private landowners.
Speaker 1 (01:15:05):
She was doing fraud. They're going to execute her. They
accused her of stealing like a billion dollars. I'm not
saying that's what we need to do. I'm just pointing
out that everywhere I turn now we're actually getting into
some indictments. It shows you how easy it is to
absolutely fleece the system. And people would argue, well, no,
they're just getting caught now. They were they would if
Donald Trump was in there. I wasn't in there.
Speaker 3 (01:15:27):
I don't think these people would be getting caught.
Speaker 8 (01:15:30):
No. No, because and this is one of the it's
one of the great ironies that the people who advocate
the most and the loudest for these types of programs
to help people are the same people who are the
least interested in rooting out the waste and abuse and
the fraud that undermines the very purpose of the programs
(01:15:51):
that they advocate for. You would think that the ones
who say we need to expand snap benefits, right, You
would think those people would be the most fiscally prudent
to make sure every single dollar went to the people
that they are intensively trying to help with the program.
But they are actually the least interested people in it,
which gets to the psychology behind the the advocating of
(01:16:13):
these types of programs in that the people who are
the most vocal about this, they don't really get their
dopamine hits and their feelings of self satisfaction. They don't
get that from actually helping the people. They get it
from knowing that other people hear them say I want
to help other people. So whether or not people are
helped is irrelevant. The only thing that matters is do
(01:16:36):
people think that I am an advocate to help them?
Speaker 1 (01:16:39):
And and and will the willingness to do stuff in
assume like the audacity to think you could get away
with that, the audacity of that administrator or I guess
now former administrator at UNC Charlotte.
Speaker 3 (01:16:51):
We've seen a bunch of videos like this for those of.
Speaker 1 (01:16:54):
You who don't know the story is on video bragging
about how they're going to play word games so that
DEI stuff can continues, right, Yeah, we've seen a few
of these.
Speaker 8 (01:17:04):
Yeah, it was an undercover video released by Accuracy in
Media or AIM and I don't know when it was recorded,
but yeah, I mean the USC system supposedly right past
policy changes to uproot the whole DEI infrastructure that is
just you know, spreading like a cancer through these institutions.
(01:17:24):
And by the way, not reducing racism, not reducing any
of these problems, they actually make them worse. And that's
according to Harvard's own research on this stuff. So they
were told to stop doing it, and lo and behold,
shocker of shocks that the people who are doing this
kind of activism work inside these institutions. They simply go covert.
(01:17:49):
They do a rebrand of the office. Oh, we totally
closed our DEI office unc. Charlotte had three different offices
for DEI Craft and so they alway closed in down
and we reassigned like all these people. Yeah, but those
people haven't changed their ideology or their mission, right. They
are activists, and so they are attempting to work within
(01:18:11):
the institutions in order to tear them down and rebuild
the utopian vision of whatever the hell that looks like.
But I'm going to go out on a limen suggest
it's probably a little bit Marxist. And lo and behold,
they caught one of these women on video saying that
this is what she is doing. We're just not using
these words. We're going to finesse the language and we'll
just be working covert. She literally says that, and she
(01:18:34):
is now out of a job. And according to aim
accuracy and media, they have been running these types of
ops in schools all across the state. So Charlotte, So
everybody make fun of UNC Charlotte today, But tomorrow or
next week they are going to be other schools that
get busted for this.
Speaker 3 (01:18:52):
Yeah. And I remember the number out of the Chapel Hill,
the number of offices they had, And I remember thinking
it was a typo.
Speaker 9 (01:19:02):
They a zero?
Speaker 3 (01:19:03):
What happened here? What's what's going on?
Speaker 5 (01:19:06):
All right?
Speaker 3 (01:19:07):
And and and by the way, these are the same
geniuses that, when it is actually time for them to
serve the public, come up with things like this. So
I got two minutes.
Speaker 1 (01:19:14):
Hypothetically, Pete, let's say that you had a convenience store
where about once a week, somebody'd rob it and murder somebody.
Speaker 3 (01:19:22):
Right, probably bad? Right, Yeah, I'd be a bad How
would you stop that?
Speaker 8 (01:19:28):
I would arm all of my employees at the convenience store,
and right.
Speaker 3 (01:19:33):
So you close the store and ban people from going there. Right,
So there's no, no, that's no.
Speaker 8 (01:19:38):
That's a terrible idea, because then I wouldn't have a business.
Speaker 1 (01:19:40):
Wait, isn't that how you guys are solving your bush?
Why are all the bus depots psychopath breeding graps? By
the way, every every town's like that, the one in Winston,
the one in Raleigh. They're all like crazy is everywhere.
So so they have a safety problem there, and rather
than cracking down on the lunatics creating a safety problem,
they're gonna just close all the businesses.
Speaker 3 (01:20:01):
Am I reading this?
Speaker 8 (01:20:01):
Yeah? Correct? Yeah, they're going to so the Charlotte Area
Transit System or cats. They are telling everybody at the
transit center, all the little concessionaires and stuff, the little
businesses like a burger king, whatever you've got, your leases
are not being renewed. Everybody's going to be out by
September October because they want to turn it into a
fair only. Like if you don't have a fare to
(01:20:23):
get into the transit center, then you won't be there
and that'll kind of keep out all the riff rafts
and such. But so now, if you would like to
engage in the murdering or in the robbing of people,
you will have to pay the bus fare of two
dollars and twenty cents or if you are if you're yeah, yeah. Yeah.
If you are a juvenile, though, you're in luck because
(01:20:43):
not only will you probably not get charged as an adult,
but also the fare is only a buck ten.
Speaker 1 (01:20:48):
Now, if I don't want to murder, I just want
to show my private parts to somebody on the bus,
is it the same fair, same thing?
Speaker 8 (01:20:53):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, same fare. There's no difference, right, if
you just want to expose yourself, you want to whip
up on somebody two twenty if you're in a dollar
ten if you're a kid.
Speaker 1 (01:21:01):
All right, Pete, been fun, informative. We'll talk next week
and we'll be right back.
Speaker 3 (01:21:05):
The story of athleticism a brand new record set, very
inspirational story. So yesterday was the.
Speaker 1 (01:21:16):
The championship game for the Minnesota High school girls softball
and the pitcher, the starting pitcher for the team, was
also the starting pitcher for the semi final game that
they just previously played, pitched fourteen straight shutout innings. Just
remember there's only seven innings in women's softball, So two games,
(01:21:37):
starting pitcher, fourteen shutout innings and these were the state
championship games and they defeated the defending state champs.
Speaker 3 (01:21:45):
That's amazing, huh. Pretty cool, Huh, it.
Speaker 2 (01:21:49):
Is pretty amazing.
Speaker 3 (01:21:51):
Yeah, anyway, I have a question. Oh yeah, which which
city does does the pitcher play for?
Speaker 2 (01:22:00):
Oh no, this isn't the first time hearing the story.
We didn't like prepare this. He just came back with
break you know, from I did. I just saw the
I just saw the stat there. I was like, Oh,
that's impressive. Unfortunately, Yeah, I've got to ask the question.
Speaker 3 (01:22:13):
Uh, what's that?
Speaker 9 (01:22:14):
What was it?
Speaker 2 (01:22:15):
A dude?
Speaker 3 (01:22:15):
It's a dude, Yeah, of course it was. Yeah, you
can tell because one it's a dude, and two, uh
is throwing a softball underhand at Major League Baseball speed.
So yeah, can you imagine.
Speaker 2 (01:22:33):
How frustrating does it have to be if you are
you know, you're a female athlete and you work and
you train and you put in the work and.
Speaker 3 (01:22:40):
You're the best in the stage. You're in the state
championship game, right, and the bro just comes in and
just cook you.
Speaker 4 (01:22:47):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (01:22:47):
Two straight games, two straight games, fourteen innings, shut out,
not no, nothing, nobody got nothing, nothing, nobody put up
a run.
Speaker 1 (01:22:59):
I don't think any advanced past first base. If I
was really if I remember what I was reading earlier, and.
Speaker 3 (01:23:08):
I don't know what the answer.
Speaker 1 (01:23:09):
The schools are just gonna have to refuse to play
or the kids are I understand. Like you remember that
girl who walked away from fencing. It was considered probably
going to be somebody who would compete to go to
the Olympics.
Speaker 2 (01:23:19):
Yeah, you've seen a few stories like that, and it's
always like, I think that's brave and it's commendable to
be like, I'm not doing this, I'm not participating in
this lunacy.
Speaker 3 (01:23:28):
And she's out, she.
Speaker 1 (01:23:29):
Can't participate in fencing now, Like so it isn't just
you're not going to be there for that. You have
to be willing to give up this thing that you're
very passionate about. Clearly she's passionate if she's among the
best in the world or potential has the potential to be.
And meanwhile, after if you're the team who now has
to play that team for the championship and you just
(01:23:50):
watched this the semi finals and another team that's among
the best in the state couldn't put the bat on
the bowl once, how positive are you going into that game?
Speaker 3 (01:24:03):
And then it just repeated itself.
Speaker 2 (01:24:05):
At that point, you just got to fight fire with
fire and go down to Central America and found find
like a twenty eight thirty two year old dude who's
just like, you know, like a ringer. Bring in a
ringer and put.
Speaker 3 (01:24:15):
Him in a put him in a wig or something,
and oh that's how Wait, that's how they do.
Speaker 5 (01:24:21):
It in the Little league.
Speaker 3 (01:24:22):
So I don't I don't, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (01:24:23):
Oh, to be fair, I think they only went to
Cuba to find that kid. What did they What did
that turn out being?
Speaker 3 (01:24:29):
I remember there was some twist with that too, and
I think I think he went and played minor league
baseball too, So that was pretty good? All right?
Speaker 8 (01:24:38):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (01:24:38):
Wait, hold on, Boston Paul just sent me some what
is this? Was it Boston Paul's birthday? How old is
Boston Paul Ross? What do we think?
Speaker 2 (01:24:50):
I would say? Boston Paul is a spry thirty three
years young. Oh, thirty three years young.
Speaker 3 (01:24:58):
So he wasn't an eyewitness to the Boston massacre because
I had heard that.
Speaker 2 (01:25:02):
Now, if I'm really saying how I don't know how
old is Paul? I don't know, like sixty two, sixty.
Speaker 3 (01:25:06):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (01:25:06):
But he got a bottle of whiskey. He's very excited,
although I don't know if I believe this is your
bottle of whiskey. You sent me a picture of First
of all, it's Trump whiskey. I didn't know there was
Trump whiskey. Why would you buy whiskey from Trump? I'm serious,
Yeah I would.
Speaker 2 (01:25:20):
No, No, I'm not. I mean you don't want to
buy like an alcoholic product, right from from somebody who's
like stone cold sober his entire life.
Speaker 1 (01:25:29):
Yeah, like how would he know if it's good or not?
I mean, that's that would be my question. No offense,
but like, what do you know about whiskey?
Speaker 3 (01:25:38):
I mean, and also Boston Paul, the bottle's full, So
I don't know if I believe this is yours.
Speaker 2 (01:25:42):
Now they do, right, They used to make whiskey in
Tennessee and like dry counties right, Oh are you talking?
Speaker 3 (01:25:51):
Are you talking about legal or illegal whiskey? Uh?
Speaker 2 (01:25:54):
There was I remember one of them. I drove through it.
It was super weird. It was a dry county, but
that's where they processed and made the whiskey.
Speaker 1 (01:26:01):
Oh yeah, yeah, I went to a lake in Tennessee
that was in a dry county. I'm trying to remember
which county it.
Speaker 3 (01:26:06):
Was except at the lake, and it was for a
media event.
Speaker 1 (01:26:10):
It was when I was doing some of the outdoor
media stuff and they have this they have a conference
every year and they move it around, and so we
go there, and so you have a bunch of like
outdoor media people and he can't buy booze. And so
the guy who owned the marina where we were all
kind of staying, like we were on houseboats would go.
Speaker 3 (01:26:28):
He'd go and like he'd go to where he could
get it, and he would he would come back with
truckloads of booze, which was a horrible idea because then
everyone would get hammered and be jumping off the houseboats
and stuff. And I'm like, all right, I kind of
understand why it's dry here, but I want to say
they made whiskey in that county too, So I think
I know what you're talking about. Yeah, I don't know,
(01:26:49):
but uh yeah. So all right, so there's Trump whiskey
or what's it called, forty five forty seven?
Speaker 1 (01:26:55):
See what they did with the numbers there? All right, Well,
you have to let me know if it's good. But again,
I you know, how would Trump know if it's good?
Speaker 5 (01:27:04):
Guy?
Speaker 3 (01:27:04):
I don't drink.
Speaker 2 (01:27:04):
Yeah, look at it, add a google it. Jack Daniels
is made in a dry county.
Speaker 3 (01:27:08):
Oh okay, yeah, all right, what's the what's the county name?
Speaker 8 (01:27:12):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (01:27:13):
Produced in Lynchburg, Tennessee.
Speaker 3 (01:27:15):
Located in Moore County, Moore County, Okay, Yeah, this was
it wasn't It wasn't near Lynchburg. I can't remember where
it was. It was so many years ago. But and
I remember one of the dudes did not make the
clearance on the houseboat and his leg banged off of it.
And that was the whole thing. But he had drink
so much.
Speaker 1 (01:27:32):
I don't think he cared. So there's that as well.
All right, real quick, couple of things here, Well, this
show is just flying by.
Speaker 10 (01:27:42):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (01:27:42):
Former First Lady Michelle Obama said that a woman's ability
to grow a human life is quote the least of
what her reproductive system is for. Then what's it for?
What it's it's called? What it's called the re productive ross?
Speaker 1 (01:28:00):
Would you look up see what the word reproductive means
'ros's going to google that because I feel like it
may tip us off as to what the system might
be good for or used for.
Speaker 3 (01:28:12):
Sorry, the phone with somebody very important. Would you say, oh, oh,
is it Boston Paul? Is he sober or not? All right,
we'll check in a moment. So Michelle Obama said that
a woman's reproductive system and her ability to grow life
is quote the least of what a reproductive system is.
For a system called a reproductive system meaning to reproduce
(01:28:36):
some would say life. The author said that the frustrating
thing is the issue has been reduced to a question
of choice. I'm not going to read all over garbage.
What a dumb statement.
Speaker 1 (01:28:47):
By the way, have you seen her podcast numbers are
like six or seven percent of what her first episode was,
So that thing's tank and thankfully all right, So if
a woman's reproduct active system is not primarily for reproducing life,
then I don't know what the hell it's for.
Speaker 3 (01:29:10):
But you did to bring on some obg y n
who said.
Speaker 5 (01:29:14):
What is it for you?
Speaker 1 (01:29:15):
So they don't even say what it's for, then it
was basically just an abortion topic. But and even even
if you talk about the cyclical monthly thing, that is
an offshoot of a woman's body wanting to produce life,
not a woman full disclosure, but I'm pretty sure that's
(01:29:39):
how it works, all right, real quick, Boston Paul. He
probably has some insight here. Yes, Boston Paul, what's up?
Speaker 3 (01:29:47):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (01:29:47):
My birthday's right after yours, and you, you know, you
hate on all the kids and everything because they didn't
call and wish you a happy birthday. I did wish
you a happy birthday, but you didn't acknowledge it.
Speaker 3 (01:30:00):
As I don't acknowledge it.
Speaker 6 (01:30:02):
Well, you get on the radio and you were full
of hate saying nobody wished me a happy birthday.
Speaker 3 (01:30:08):
Let me let me just get to the point here
because I gotta do weather here in a moment. Are
you gonna get together with girl buddies and throw tea
in the harbor?
Speaker 5 (01:30:14):
Again?
Speaker 3 (01:30:14):
What are you doing to celebrate?
Speaker 7 (01:30:17):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (01:30:17):
Yeah, well why not? Wake We got better stuff than that.
Speaker 3 (01:30:21):
The throwing a hot one, Well, you're not gonna throw.
You're not gonna throw the whiskey. I'm assuming have you
tried Have you tried it?
Speaker 6 (01:30:28):
I'm ready to crack it open. I just got it.
Speaker 8 (01:30:30):
It came in.
Speaker 6 (01:30:31):
That's another funny thing.
Speaker 3 (01:30:32):
It came in forty five in the morning. Dude.
Speaker 6 (01:30:36):
It came in the mail. You know it was delivered,
And you think you have to sign for a bottle
of booze. Right, it was just left on my doorstep.
Speaker 1 (01:30:44):
Oh I know, I'm I know where I'm porch pirrating
now Austin Paul's house. I be an iPad might be booze.
Speaker 3 (01:30:52):
All right, well you give us you let us know
if it's any good, Okay, all right, I will all
right that It just gave him some homework for tomorrow,
raised agic from the weather channel. Look at that whiskey
will just show up at your house?
Speaker 8 (01:31:03):
Bro?
Speaker 5 (01:31:05):
Why not? Right?
Speaker 2 (01:31:06):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (01:31:08):
It could be lost, could be worse, could be better.
Speaker 3 (01:31:11):
Are you wish?
Speaker 8 (01:31:12):
Do you like?
Speaker 3 (01:31:13):
What's your nature of choice?
Speaker 5 (01:31:14):
Miller lt?
Speaker 3 (01:31:16):
Okay, you're not really.
Speaker 4 (01:31:19):
I'll do an old fashion once in a while. Yeah,
there's so much because people come to the house and
they bring it and we don't drink it, and it's
just piled up and yeah, there's a lot so.
Speaker 5 (01:31:33):
Problems, right Robbed, No, No, I know, I know.
Speaker 3 (01:31:37):
Well, all right, well I'll come over and help next time.
Speaker 5 (01:31:40):
Yeah, next time?
Speaker 2 (01:31:42):
Right?
Speaker 8 (01:31:42):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (01:31:43):
Well is it good drinking all your boots?
Speaker 6 (01:31:45):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (01:31:45):
You prefer outside or where where?
Speaker 4 (01:31:47):
I prefer outside. I think there's gonna be an opportunity eventually,
slowly through the weekend. Many of us have been waiting
for a nice warm up. Maybe it's the lakes or
even want to get into the pool. It's been a
little chilly for that. By next week, I think everybody's
going to be smiling, may not even smiling. This afternoon again,
dealing with storms coming in west to east from about
(01:32:08):
one or two o'clock for the triad and then on
off toward the east of the Triangle after that through
this evening, and those storms could pack some wind and hail,
maybe an isolated tornado with some downpours.
Speaker 5 (01:32:18):
Through this evening.
Speaker 4 (01:32:18):
We'll get close to eighty today either side of it,
depending on where you are, and then tomorrow just some
isolated showers thluttererstorms.
Speaker 5 (01:32:24):
As this front gets.
Speaker 4 (01:32:25):
Through us, it'll be a little breezy. It'll feel different too,
a little less humidity. Although we're still close to eighty degrees.
Small chance of an afternoon shower on Sunday, so each
day better and better sunshine. Other Wise near eighty and
then early next week this warm up really starts coming
in here well into the eighties, maybe ninety by Tuesday
and Wednesday for some spots.
Speaker 5 (01:32:44):
So hang in there.
Speaker 4 (01:32:45):
Today severe less chance to rain over the weekend, just
hit miss stuff and then warmer, drier as we get
into next week.
Speaker 1 (01:32:52):
Okay, all right, appreciate it. Having good weekend, and we'll
talk Monday. So see man, all right, and we'll come
back with Jeff Bellinger next on Jeff. What's happening here
on our Friday?
Speaker 2 (01:33:02):
Well, good morning, Casey, and happy Friday.
Speaker 11 (01:33:04):
Stock market futures were holding their own until about an
hour ago when President Trump took to social media. A
posting on the President's platform accuses China violating its trade
agreement with the US. Mister Trump said, so much for
being mister NICs guy, and it was so much for
the futures being barely changed. Right now, they're lower across
(01:33:24):
the board. Now, futures are down one hundred ten points.
Now they have come back a little bit from their
low because the government just released the monthly personal income
and consumer spending data. Incomes were up eight tens percent
in April, spending up two tens percent, and within the
report as an inflation gage preferred by the Federal Reserve,
(01:33:44):
it was up two and a half percent from April
of last year, and that was the smallest year over
year advance and four years. So some good news there
no change last month, and the purchasing power of the
nation's middle income families. Primerica's household budget for April match
the March reading, suggesting that average earned income rows just
(01:34:05):
enough to offset any increases in the cost of everyday necessities.
Hyundai is reportedly preparing to hike the prices on all
vehicles sold in the US. Sources say the South Korean
automaker is looking to cushion the impact of new tariffs,
and a one percent across the board increase could go
into effect as soon as next week. And if you're
a Disney or Hulu subscriber, Casey, you'll have some new
(01:34:28):
perks offers introduced as one offs last year being expanded.
Disney Plus subscribers will be able to enter contests. Prizes
will include Disney cruises and tickets to movie premiers. There
are also discounts from door Dash and other partners, and
a separate package of perks for Hulu subscribers will be
available starting Monday.
Speaker 2 (01:34:49):
Casey, all right, well, having.
Speaker 3 (01:34:50):
Your weekend, Jeff, we'll chat Monday.
Speaker 2 (01:34:53):
Okay, enjoy your weekend.
Speaker 5 (01:34:54):
Talking of Monday, Take care.
Speaker 3 (01:34:55):
All right there? You go, Jeff Bellander, Bloomberg News. And
because it wouldn't be a good Friday if we didn't
have one of these good old Florida Man story.
Speaker 7 (01:35:07):
Florida Man, Florida Man, just something in the wandery erors
hand that they should do all that crazy crap. It's
like the state is one be dumb ass trapped. Nowhere
else has the Florida Man. It is almost like as
the Weird Factor climbs and you.
Speaker 2 (01:35:24):
Find out it it happened in Florida every time. Florida Men,
Florida Man.
Speaker 7 (01:35:31):
If anyone can cheer me of you know, you can
just mind life, you crazy but of course, but it's
not as bad crap crazy as yours.
Speaker 3 (01:35:38):
Nowhere else are you gonna find him?
Speaker 2 (01:35:41):
They're so used to it they don't mind him. Hooray
for Florida Man.
Speaker 1 (01:35:47):
And for this episode, we go to Jacksonville, where police
say they're looking for a man who walked into a
Petlands where it's a pet store in on Beach Boulevard.
Speaker 3 (01:35:59):
I don't know why hold you where it is? Uh
and uh absconded with a new friend.
Speaker 1 (01:36:05):
According to police, they have video of the man going
into the Petland grabbing a ferret that was for sale
and stuffing it in his shorts. And he's wearing he's
wearing let's just say the the ferret was profiling in
the shorts. That's gotta be weird for the officer if
they catch him. By the way, he should be easy
(01:36:26):
to find because he's described in the report as having
quote a unique mustache, which is a wild understatement. Roster,
you got a chance to see this guy's picture, I said,
you know link I have on Okay, tell me if
that if that is a quote unique mustache, then we'll
tweet out a link for you as well. According to
(01:36:47):
the report, pet store employees said the man quote fondled
the ferret for quite some time. Set of euphemism.
Speaker 3 (01:36:56):
What are you doing in there? I'm fondling the ferret.
Speaker 2 (01:36:58):
Wait, so is that the ferret on his face?
Speaker 7 (01:37:01):
No?
Speaker 3 (01:37:01):
No, no, no, in his pants? Oh it was in
his pants. Oh yeah, dude, he would have that's full
that's full of fu manchuu almost right. That's a look, sir.
That's like having a face tattoo and wondering why you're
gonna get caught? Also, why are you fondling the ferret?
And also.
Speaker 1 (01:37:21):
What if that ferret gets angry that you just stuffed
it in your shorts? Like, do you have no self
preservation sir? Because does Russell tell you ferrets will kill you?
Speaker 2 (01:37:32):
This gentleman needs to speak to my mother specifically from
the nineteen eighties.
Speaker 1 (01:37:38):
Also, and he got the whole faerry you gotta Oh,
they already stink, so I guess that that's fine.
Speaker 8 (01:37:45):
But
Eight oh five, We're gonna chat with Pete Calender. Uh Ross,
you remember last Friday when Pete got all worked up and
rightfully so I never really got into it, but Pete
was right when COVID started the radio station that he
worked for, it literally had layoffs and they laid him
off and it was a really tough time and it
was one of the reasons I want to have Pete on.
(00:20):
I mean, obviously I like the guy, but like you know,
you want to protect people in the business that you
think are good at what they do. And do you
remember how angry I've never heard Pete really angry about anything,
but he was so angry about the PPP fraud, the
COVID fraud that was going on out there.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
Remember that, yep.
Speaker 1 (00:38):
Because he was like, I was too dumb to commit fraud,
right and uh no, no, I'm kidding, like he didn't,
because that's what decent people do. I got like nine
other stories this morning, so I think I'm going to
touch a nerve with him just a little. But the
level of fraud and fraud stories that hit the news
yesterday is in saying including and I had to read
(01:03):
this story several times because I'm like, that can't be true.
That's that that that's way too.
Speaker 3 (01:11):
High a number. This chick who worked for the USDA
and was committing food stamp fraud allegedly, it's like thirty
six million dollars. How do you not think you're gonna
get caught?
Speaker 1 (01:25):
And the answer is probably because people don't usually, That's
what we're finding out. The reason you think you could
commit allegedly thirty six million dollars in food stamp fraud?
Speaker 3 (01:40):
I mean, what must your lifestyle look like to the
people around you? What must it look look?
Speaker 1 (01:48):
Look, if Ross came in with a new Bugatti every day,
I would have some questions. Now, I'm sure he would
come across the bugattis you know, naturally probably fine him
or whatever. But like, you got thirty six million dollars
in fraud you're alleged to have commit and you're like
a middle manager at for food stamp benefits a USDA.
(02:13):
How do you think you're not gonna get caught?
Speaker 4 (02:14):
Right?
Speaker 2 (02:15):
Unless you're like hiding the money and like some sort
of Wolter White like storage unit, you know, and just
but you're saying so they were like showing off the money, right.
Speaker 3 (02:22):
Yeah, a little bit.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
Yeah, if you read some of the stories, apparently she
got herself a fat pad. Some nice cars was going
on all these vacations.
Speaker 2 (02:31):
So like a Bugatti being pulled by like a horse
and carriage.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
I mean, if you want to be classy. Yes, wait,
I'm sorry, you've never You've never done a Bugatti carriage?
Speaker 2 (02:42):
Not yet?
Speaker 3 (02:43):
Oh wows yeah, okay, all right, well maybe we'll get
there one.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
Yeah, yeah, all right.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
Hey, I got a question too. How many graduation ceremonies
have you been to?
Speaker 5 (02:52):
For Lincoln?
Speaker 2 (02:53):
I remember there was like a kindergarten one. If there
was a elementary school one.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
Does he transitioned schools in what like fifth grade or something?
Speaker 2 (03:03):
If there was one, it wasn't like big enough to
register a memory. There's no real memory there, but I
do remember the kindergarten one.
Speaker 3 (03:09):
How many of the other parents did you fight?
Speaker 1 (03:11):
And you can average this number like you can be
like per graduation ceremony, I expect you to remember the
whole number. How many parents did you? Did you fight
violently at the ceremony?
Speaker 2 (03:21):
Well, I'm a little different. So whenever it comes to
like a school function or a birthday or anything like this,
My first thing I do is I fight one of
the parents. It's what I do.
Speaker 3 (03:29):
Do you have if you have one, you hone in
on or just randish like proximity or proximity.
Speaker 2 (03:34):
Oh, it's sort of like prison.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
Well, no prison, because prison you want to seek out
the biggest other parent.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
I thought that was also proximity.
Speaker 3 (03:42):
Oh okay, so you sit by, Okay, all right, fair enough.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
I'm just trying to figure this out because apparently six
of you insane people decided to fight each other at
a kindergarten graduation yesterday while your kids scream stop stop, which,
by the way, don't you want your kids to root
for you? That's that's a parenting feel right there. When
you're beating the crap out of all the other parents
at the graduation ceremony in your kindergarten, it's like, oh mommy,
(04:07):
stop and is crying and stuff like are they even
on team?
Speaker 3 (04:10):
Whatever your last name is?
Speaker 1 (04:11):
I don't think so a kindergarten graduation to send it
into madness when a large brawl broke out between parents,
forcing school officials to quote scold the unacceptable behavior that
is such language that you use with a kid, by
the way, and they're kind of locked into it because
they're all kindergarten teachers and administrators like this accept this
(04:35):
behavior is unacceptable. I don't know, man, I'd use a
stronger word. Several adults are punches and there's a couple
of good haymakers here.
Speaker 3 (04:45):
Man. One of them connects, by the way, so I
think that dude won.
Speaker 6 (04:48):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
Several parents are punches at each other in the hallway
at Falk Elementary on Wednesdays.
Speaker 3 (04:54):
This is in Memphis, Tennessee.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
By the way, multiple men and women were at the
center of the melee plowing through the school.
Speaker 3 (05:01):
Is other pairs.
Speaker 1 (05:01):
Oh okay, so it was a rolling brawl. Ah okay,
it was like a Survivor series thing. I think, which
classroom do you think would be most advantageous to roll
into via fight for the things you could use to
fight with?
Speaker 3 (05:20):
Do you understand what I'm asking?
Speaker 2 (05:21):
Yeah, I think the obvious go to would be like
the gym or something where they still.
Speaker 3 (05:25):
Right, you got the rope there, you got all that.
I mean, chemistry lab.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
Yeah, I was about to say that could be good,
but I mean you've got what you say. It was kindergarten,
so they probably don't have a chemistry class. Well, it's
an elementary school, so I'm sure they have you know,
so they're not going to have that.
Speaker 3 (05:41):
Oh do they not have those in elementary?
Speaker 1 (05:44):
I don't know, it's been a while, all right, So yeah,
the gym gym would be a good one.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
Parents with that or could be good. You could use
the paint mm hmm.
Speaker 3 (05:54):
That's a good point.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
I just like the chemistry because you can blind the
other parent, like it's an ascid attack and Middle East, right,
so you got that going for you. But you're right,
they probably don't have one. So anyway, they basically fought
through the hallway. Now, once you've defeated a parent, can
you stuff them in a locker? Like it's the old
you know? Because is this are nostalgia when you go
(06:18):
back to school, right, you're the member Berry's right, like,
oh I remember being a kid.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
Yeah once again. It's not really like that anymore though,
and it'sool, so there's no lockers. There might be a cubby.
Speaker 3 (06:29):
Well who you want to talk about winning? Right? Do
you get a whole other parent into a cubby?
Speaker 2 (06:34):
I'm not sure honestly what the locker situation is, especially
like a high school anymore, Linco. It's not in high
school yet. Yeah, but I don't know what it's like anymore,
because back in our day used to have like a
big old locker because you had tons of books you
had to bring around.
Speaker 3 (06:46):
Well, how like is how how many grades has meant?
Speaker 1 (06:49):
It's because the middle school in the elementary school, Clear
Creek Elementary that I went to in Buffalo, Wyoming went
up to.
Speaker 3 (06:57):
Sixth grade.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
No, typically it's six seven. In high school's nine, ten, eleven, twelve.
Speaker 1 (07:02):
Yeah, and then middle school was just seven and eight
for us. And then obviously he went into high school.
So what about cafeteria trays? Those might be helpful.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
Yeah, but I mean half the kids are on azempic now, so.
Speaker 3 (07:15):
Are they the kids?
Speaker 2 (07:17):
No?
Speaker 3 (07:17):
No, oh you think in Hollywood there's not some kid
on those? Yeah, there definitely are, yes, oh yeah yeah.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
But back in our day you used to have like
a books and tons of book bags and you would
like to throw your back out with your huge book bag.
And now you have your tamlets or whatever. So I'm
not sure what the what the locker situation is in
high school anymore. If they have hitting somebody.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
With a chromebook doesn't have the same appeal as smashing
them in the face with like a big old American
history book.
Speaker 3 (07:45):
So I would agree with you there, all right, you
know art.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
This is uh, it's like the it's it's it's my
day sort of thing where you have all these parents
and they're super focused on their kid and it's their
kids day, and they can't see be on themselves, and
they're very self centered and selfish, and whenever they see
something that's like, oh, it's an affront to my kid
or it's not fair to my kid, they fly off
the handle. It's so stupid.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
Yeah, sadly, I looked at two different versions of this
story and they do not have what started it. I'm
assuming some parent got in another parent's way, was taking
photos or.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
Something, and they see it as like a slight because
they don't they can't see beyond themselves, like this is
my day, not your day, even though you have a
kid here went to the to the school with my
you know, the schoolmates or classmates. It's so dumb.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
I'm just looking at some of the pictures here. What
I like, too, is nobody in this in the video here.
It seems to be sexist. Right, there's there's pure equality
because this one dude's haymakering a woman and two women
are punching this dude in the crotch. So right, you know, everybody,
(08:50):
everybody's like dah, we're you know, gender equality. And that's
important because you want the kids to witness that, right.
You want the kids to see that mommy or daddy
or not like bigots like, oh, only men can punch
men at the kindergarten ceremony. No, no, no, there's none
of that. Everybody's fighting everybody, let's see here. Superintendent Eric
(09:13):
Foyster issued a warning to parents that their time was up.
I just can't get over the kids not rooting for
their parents. By the way, Uh, the one mom her
hoots came out because she's wearing a stripper shirt.
Speaker 3 (09:27):
Is that what you wear to a kindergarten graduation? I
don't know. I don't know, not been to many of these.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
I will say like it was different for Lincoln's, and
typically the school stuff tends to be different with special
needs or autistic.
Speaker 3 (09:44):
Yeah, you got very small class size, smaller.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
Yeah, but you're just hoping that your kid doesn't have
a meltdown. And you tell yeah, you tend to be
more thoughtful of the other parents who are going through
a similar situation. It's completely different.
Speaker 3 (09:57):
But is there a couple you and Markie would like
to fight? You don't have to say who they are?
Speaker 7 (10:02):
No?
Speaker 3 (10:03):
OK? Yeah, because I.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
Feel like you have to have an arch nemesis too, right,
like something clearly something triggered this, and I don't know
if it was pre existing or what, but let's see.
The superintendent pointed out, the adults are a poor role
model for their kids. Well, the ones who lost are right,
if you're the winning parents, what if you just taught
(10:25):
your kid hard work pays off. So being an absolute
piece of garbage, but one that's good at fighting, you know,
eventually could protect you. Do they even get the ceremony?
And what do you do at that point? Do you
have to you have to rehold the ceremony?
Speaker 3 (10:41):
Right? You got a hall? The kids back in there
because that's their day and you just made it your day.
Speaker 6 (10:47):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (10:48):
Six in total, six adults have been permanently banned from
the school. We other kid just graduated, so what do
they care? Citing these zero tolerance policy? Apparently that five too.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
If it's kindergarten, they will be going back to that school,
right because it's kid But you got.
Speaker 1 (11:05):
A transfer that in all seriousness, right, yeah, you have
to yeah transfer schools man.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
Yeah, so I mean they can get kicked out of
school because it's only kindergarten.
Speaker 3 (11:13):
Yeah, but I'm not gonna have access to the Oh
that's well.
Speaker 1 (11:20):
Look, you guys are living in the past and we
gotta to send me an email. It's like I would
beat the other parents with a trapper keeper. I don't
think they have those anymore, sir, excuse me. I don't
think they have trapper keeper. That's not a thing anymore. Right,
trapper keepers.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
Those are like collectibles now, especially the ones we had
all cool stuff inside. I had a Lamborghinian mind it
was super cool.
Speaker 3 (11:41):
Oh dude.
Speaker 1 (11:42):
I had a Batman one, Yes, I had. And I
was the old school Batman, like the old you know,
like sixties seventies television, like.
Speaker 2 (11:52):
The Adam West Batman.
Speaker 1 (11:53):
Mm hmm, yeah I was. I was super retro as
a kid. So, oh, look at this too.
Speaker 8 (12:00):
Now.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
I just clicked over to another video. Apparently monkeys and
India are stealing puppies again. So what a morning?
Speaker 8 (12:06):
All right?
Speaker 1 (12:07):
So yeah, yeah, the trapper keeper would have been your
your correct sor it would have been like you could
have had a pencil case, although really the girls had
the pencil cases, and they had an obnoxious amount of
pens and pencils. They had all the colored ones or
the one that like has the six little things that
flick down for different colors, like real og stuff. I
(12:29):
don't think they have any of that anymore. But you're right,
trapper keeper back in the day would have been an
elite weapon, not anymore, all right. So I guess the
moral of the story is, even though we're getting late
in the season, if you still have one of your
kids graduations to go to, maybe do like a Rocky
training montage before you go, because you don't want to share.
(12:52):
The last thing you want to do is get your
behind kicked in front of your kid. I think we
can all agree with that, all right. Eight eight eight
nine three four seven eight seven four. What a way
to start the morning. And we'll truck on next. Hang on,
all right, So I just got an email here from
one of our listeners ross trapper keepers are a thing again.
Speaker 2 (13:12):
Wow, that's cool. They're probably like they like hold like
tablets or something now, or is it just paper and
old school stuff.
Speaker 3 (13:19):
I don't know. It just says I guess maybe he
was chopping for his kid and he said he saw
him at Walmart or whatever.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
I don't go in the school supplier toy aisle because
I don't have kids, and I don't want to end
up on a list, So I don't know, don't know,
let's see here.
Speaker 3 (13:36):
But yeah, all right, so yeah, I'm with Ross.
Speaker 1 (13:39):
I suspect they probably have like a little one of
those adjustable tablet holders because I have a really nice
well that's great. I had a really nice cover for
my new iPad which kind of, you know, it looked
like a trapper keeper, but it looked like one of
those leather bound you know, like meat tablets were redoermally
(14:01):
right in there and it kind of snaps the pad
into there, and uh, I just read. I liked how
strong the damn thing was. But I don't know if
I describe it as a trapper keeper though. But look,
we had like elite weapons back in the day, like
remember snap bracelets, Court Roster.
Speaker 3 (14:20):
Do you have snap bracelets in Schenectady. I'm sure right, yeah.
Speaker 7 (14:22):
No.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
It was scary because they said that it would like
cut open your wrist and you'd bleed it and die.
Speaker 1 (14:27):
Yeah, so you razor sharpen one of those, because I
remember when they break down, like the cloth or whatever,
the fabric around the metal would come off, and then
they would essentially turn into a foldable knife.
Speaker 2 (14:38):
Yeah, but I don't know if that actually ever happened.
I think it's sort of like the razor blade in
the Apple where it's you know, like a myth, like
I don't think it ever actually happened.
Speaker 1 (14:46):
I'm sorry, did you not live in a household or
your mom assumed that a ferret and an ATV were
going to murder you at any more?
Speaker 8 (14:51):
Did?
Speaker 2 (14:51):
And once again, that was a thing that did happen,
But I'm saying this specific one was. I believe it's
an urban legend, Like I don't think it ever happened.
Speaker 1 (14:59):
I think that if you got a trapper keeper has
got some firmness to it. You got enough snap bracelets,
you know how to wield it, and you can throw uh,
what was the big pog.
Speaker 3 (15:09):
The slammer?
Speaker 5 (15:10):
Right?
Speaker 1 (15:11):
That was the heavier pog. You use those like ninja
stars like the other parents. It's not gonna be a
good day for them, how many of you have ever
purchased hair hair Abo. It's such a dumb name. I
can never pronounce it. But the you've you've seen it
h A R I b O. And they make like
(15:31):
gummy bears, right and gummy worms and gummies. They make
gummy stuff, very very very popular brand.
Speaker 7 (15:40):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (15:40):
They've issued a major recall after and whoopsie, apparently some
of their gummies are actually full of weed, which I
guess are not supposed to be.
Speaker 3 (15:54):
Uh. Specifically, what is this um?
Speaker 1 (15:57):
Traditional gummy bears cola the color flavored they have like
Coca cola flavored gummies.
Speaker 3 (16:03):
Does that sound good?
Speaker 5 (16:06):
Well?
Speaker 3 (16:06):
Anyway, the company is investigating how some of their popular
gummy products apparently became tainted with cannabis after several people
reportedly fell ill in the Netherlands. Right, so now you
just you just so you paid so cheap for gummies edibles.
Speaker 2 (16:23):
There's like two things going on here, one of two things, right, yes,
One the manufacturer is secretly like a Gusferring breaking bad
where they're secretly in the business of drug manufacturing, like
in the in the basement of their plant or whatever
or too.
Speaker 9 (16:37):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (16:37):
They just want people to buy their gummy bears. So
it's yes, yeah, no, no, no, this is a marketing thing.
Speaker 1 (16:42):
Yeah, this is like, oh no, one in one hundred
packs is full of weed. You better we do this
is this is the Wonka Golden ticket right here.
Speaker 3 (16:53):
Absolute genius.
Speaker 1 (16:55):
Now, apparently the company, because you look edible and cannabis
filled gummies, some of the companies that produced the traditional
consumer ones also produced the weed ones, which I was
not aware of, but apparently they do. And I guess
because specifically the plant where this was manufactured is a
(17:17):
plant in the Netherlands serving their European market, and you know,
the edible weed is legal there. So they've issued a
recall both in the US and EU. So some of
this stuff apparently got shipped over here, specifically Harribo Happy
Cola Fizz gummies. Apparently several consumers said they felt dizziness
(17:45):
after eating the swill.
Speaker 3 (17:46):
You can't handle your high, that's what's going on here.
Speaker 1 (17:51):
Officials took samples of the gummies that the consumers had bought.
Speaker 3 (17:55):
Sure enough, they're a chock full of weed. What is this?
Speaker 1 (18:07):
I'm trying to figure out how much weed gummies they
They're very they're they're not a lot of details here,
but they do. They do manufacture some. Yeah, you should
probably have those in different plants or rooms at least
it just because some people are not down with that
reminds me. But hey, yeah, what's that.
Speaker 2 (18:23):
We're watching a documentary now in Netflix called The Tail
and All Murders or Killings or something, and it's about
from the day from nineteen eighty two when there was
cyanide and the extra strength pills or whatever. Yeah, the
tablet or the capsules.
Speaker 3 (18:37):
Dude, that changed that. That screwed up the ability to
ever open bottles.
Speaker 2 (18:41):
Yeah, that's now why you have the like the foil
on the inside once you get the cap off. It's
why you have a problem getting the cap off. And
it's why you have the plastic around the cap.
Speaker 3 (18:52):
Thank you who.
Speaker 1 (18:52):
They never caught them, by the way, they never They
never caught whoever poison the time. But just imagine you're
sitting around one day and you're just so angry, like,
I think I have any poison. Some aspirin or islan's
name is Talanol's aspirin or end said, I can't remember.
Speaker 2 (19:07):
It's like its own sort of, it's it's its own.
It's oh okay, Yeah, so, but what's scary about that
story is like how it initially started in Chicago where
you had like a brother die and they were trying
to figure out how did the brother die? And it
was like later on that day, the families around in
the living room and they're obviously like kind of feeling
(19:27):
stressed and you know, headaches, and the sister takes some
of the tailent all and she drops dead and then
it's just all in a span of twenty four hours,
its spiraled out of control.
Speaker 3 (19:37):
I can't did they have a theory where they even
have a suspect that I can't even remember they do.
Speaker 2 (19:41):
You should check it out. It's on Netflix. It's pretty good.
Speaker 3 (19:43):
Now, Yeah, it's been a while since I've aprized myself
with that story.
Speaker 2 (19:48):
Is that all you and Markey watch just like we
watch everything we actually because of Indoor, we just started.
We went through the entire After Indoor, we started the
entire originally Star Wars trilogy. It was like even it
was great up through Return of the Jedi, and then
we started Phantom Menace last week and it's so bad,
Like the drop off, the fall off there is so
but we could not get through Phantom menace. We're like, well,
(20:09):
now we're into something difference. It's so it's so bad.
Speaker 3 (20:13):
Everything's it's been forever since it starts. And it's like
something about a tariffs and in bargo and taxes and
a trade alliance and there's state Trump started the whole thing,
So what.
Speaker 2 (20:26):
Is happening here? And then you have jar Jar Banks,
which is worse than you remember. It's it's not like
it couldn't possibly be. It is.
Speaker 3 (20:34):
I have to fast forward. When they're in the under
undersea city thing.
Speaker 2 (20:38):
It is worse than you remember.
Speaker 3 (20:40):
You're like, oh, it's maybe it's different or maybe there's
gonna be like an astylisha factor.
Speaker 2 (20:43):
Now I'm gonna enjoy it more than them before. No,
it's awful.
Speaker 3 (20:46):
It's Jarge Jar needs is Thailand?
Speaker 2 (20:48):
All yeah, you should try.
Speaker 1 (20:53):
By the way, that's gonna suck for your wife. Did
I see she just had a root canal? And now
she just watched the thing to scare her about Thailand.
Speaker 2 (20:59):
She did yesterday and that was the thing because we
were watching it, and that's all she could take is
Tayland all like you yeah, yeah, I remember when I
had my root canal was a combo of tailand All
and Ivy pro well, especially if you're like pregnant, you're
not supposed to take other stuff. So she's yeah, yeah,
you're like no, no, a leave or ibuprofen or anything
like that.
Speaker 3 (21:17):
So it's okay, Yeah, Like, did you go give me
some talol? Yeah, Random Chicago got you some money your.
Speaker 2 (21:22):
Tablet form to do the capsules. It's scary, yeah, the
Phantom menaces where so now we're done, Like it killed
the vibe, the Star Wars vibe. So we were looking
for someone else to watch, and we started that the
other day.
Speaker 1 (21:33):
Is there any of the six other movies, not the
three original, but of the other six that you actually like?
Speaker 2 (21:38):
I think the one that holds up the best. And
you recently saw this at the box office where it
made like a you know, in another one. Revenge of
the Sith is okay, but the first two are bad,
and the other movies with Ray just I just can't
and Or I cannot express this enough. And Or is
a miracle, especially because it was created by Disney US.
(22:00):
It's a Disney product, but it shows that they can
make this. They can do good Star Wars if they
choose to. And Or is a miracle and it has.
I believe it has saved Star Wars. I can't recommend
it enough. It's really good.
Speaker 3 (22:12):
I was reading an article yesterday, Uh, what is the
video game Oblivion or whatever they're redoing.
Speaker 2 (22:17):
Yeah, the remaster came out.
Speaker 5 (22:18):
Yep.
Speaker 3 (22:19):
Did you see that?
Speaker 7 (22:20):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (22:20):
Did you see the three women who were in charge
of production.
Speaker 2 (22:23):
Yeah, there's that's so dumb because they were also involved
with Skyrim. They've been with the company forever. So that's
why I'm asking.
Speaker 3 (22:29):
Yeah, the scandal around them, they're like, oh, look at
these women with the hair, and they're going to ruin it.
Speaker 2 (22:32):
They're gonna woci fight. And maybe it is because maybe
they have more of a license to do that now
because of of of the past few years or but
I think this is under decline. But the three women
that they called out have literally been with the company
since the since.
Speaker 3 (22:45):
The So it's not a scandal on Twitter.
Speaker 2 (22:50):
The one I know, I know nothing. Yeah, the one
woman they were trying to call out, she's literally been
in charge. She's she from the beginning of Bethesta in
these games. She was the one that created every race
in the game and what they look like. So okay,
it's nothing. People are freaking out over nothing.
Speaker 1 (23:04):
Well, to be fair, like, I understand why people freak out.
How many times have they been literally stabbed in the heart.
Speaker 2 (23:10):
Yeah, that's what I'm saying. So it could be now
they feel like they have they can do whatever they
want to do. But I think after seeing what's happened
with it will be soft in different games in the
industry in the past, like two or three years, there
might be a little maybe we shouldn't go full woke
on this.
Speaker 3 (23:24):
Okay, all right, so that's good because we're going woke
with everything else.
Speaker 2 (23:29):
So I don't know, man, I feel like it's on
the decline. I really do feel like the woke stuff
is on the decline. Really, yeah, I feel like the
pendulum has started to swing back.
Speaker 3 (23:37):
How many of how many trans saints have you read
about in the Bible yet?
Speaker 5 (23:43):
I read?
Speaker 2 (23:44):
I know, I haven't gotten there yet.
Speaker 1 (23:45):
Oh you haven't got the part with like Joanna the Baptist. Okay,
wait till you hear how that ends up. That's the
whole thing. So I saw this yesterday. Uh, Christianity is
long revered saints who would be called transgender today.
Speaker 3 (24:05):
This is the retroactive thing. I don't know if you
know this.
Speaker 1 (24:08):
About once a month somebody writes an article where they're like, hey,
all the people from history, they're all gay or trans
or have uh what.
Speaker 3 (24:17):
Does it have autism? I think they decided everyone had
autism back in the day too, and then they write
these these insane articles.
Speaker 1 (24:27):
Christianity is long revered saints who would be called transgender today.
There are at least thirty four documented stories of transgender
saints' lives are there. I was raised Catholic. I don't
know if you know this. They kind of saints are
a big thing. If you know this, A it's a
big thing, big thing in the Catholicism. And I did
(24:49):
the Catechism, obviously, I grew up in the Catholic Church.
Speaker 3 (24:52):
I don't remember any of this. So so a bunch
of like Saint Eugenia and h.
Speaker 1 (25:02):
The say Marino, right, is there some some of the
ones you actually learned about were actually women pretending to
be men. And then I read the article and I'm like,
you're speculating, right, A little bit of speculation going on here.
And also I don't know if you know this, especially
(25:23):
when you get into old school Catholic Church probably would
have not reacted. Well, you understand what I'm laying down here, right,
going back to I don't know, thirteen hundreds or so
found out that somebody they were about to be outify
was actually somebody pretending to be the other gender. I
(25:47):
feel like that would have not gone well for the
process within the trip.
Speaker 8 (25:52):
What do I know?
Speaker 1 (25:53):
Now, It's not to say, by the way, that there
were not women who pretended to be men for certain reasons.
But it was not because they were trans It was
because they didn't want burned at the stake or uh
you know, do y. There's some military militaristic staff. And
(26:15):
then a time around the time of Reformation, there's a
little of this like there, so you've taken this thing
which was simply kind of like rejecting society's norms, but
not because they honestly thought they were a man. Okay,
they just chopped their hair off whatever, because it wasn't
going well in some of these instances for women and
(26:35):
in very specific cases for San Marino. Right, you can
you look all this stuff up, but it but it
doesn't mean they're like it's like saying that Tom Hanks
Embosom Buddies was trans.
Speaker 3 (26:50):
He wasn't.
Speaker 1 (26:51):
He just wanted cheaper rent. Okay, well that was it, right,
It wasn't. I think it was rent right, or they
wanted to live in that building. I'm trying to remember
the premise of that show. It's been so long.
Speaker 3 (27:01):
But like Tom Hanks, wasn't running around demanding pronoun allegiance. Okay.
Speaker 1 (27:09):
Eugenia Eugenia raised a pagan, join a monastery to learn
more about Christianity, and later became an abbot, but joined
the monastery to escape an unwanted suitor, so so posed
as a man, which I again I think some of
your research is a little soft here. But because you're
(27:31):
a sighting motivation didn't want to essentially get sold into marriage,
that's what's.
Speaker 3 (27:37):
Going on here. Didn't But that's not trans that's hiding.
That's different. And of course you got to sit here
and oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Now people are sending
me other stories, yes, yeah, I can't.
Speaker 1 (27:52):
The number of Founding fathers who were secretly gay, trans
or had autism is wild. Any European scientists from a
time around the time when we were figuring out the
sun earth thing, they always go into those two They're like, oh,
this person had aspergers.
Speaker 3 (28:10):
It was really a woman.
Speaker 2 (28:11):
It's crazy. How too, when you think about like the
sinking of the Titanic, how many men ended up being
trans at the end there? How many being what the
men ended up being trans at the end of the sinking.
Oh yeah, they're like, you know what, super trans you know,
you know, I'm about to go down with the ship
and I just need to be my real self. Give
me that dress.
Speaker 3 (28:31):
Can you imagine not wanting to drown in three hundred
years later, some a whole reporters like, hey, you're like, no,
I didn't want to drown. I don't know it was cold. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (28:45):
Uh these people, man, all right, I'm not going to
read all this insanity. Wait, what's even crazier as these authors?
Alicia Spencer Hall and Blake Gutt also argued that medieval
Christianity saw transness as holy.
Speaker 3 (29:03):
I don't think that's true. I don't know, I don't know,
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (29:08):
If you know a lot about medieval Christianity and early Christianity,
not just early Christianity, but you know religions back in
the day, they really there was this there was a
certain amount of conformity that.
Speaker 3 (29:20):
They really demanded, you know, like gender roles were a thing.
Speaker 1 (29:24):
Yeah, and if you stepped outside those, they wouldn't just
be like you have to go to a new church.
Speaker 3 (29:29):
There were other consequences. So we look, we don't do
that now.
Speaker 1 (29:34):
But you can't pretend like it wasn't a thing, like
like burning people at the steak was a thing. I
don't if you know this, heresy is a thing, and
a modern day apostas apostle, I could never say that.
Speaker 3 (29:50):
They have word.
Speaker 1 (29:51):
But rejecting one's religion is still punishable by death in
most Middle Eastern countries, right, So there's a bat And
so I'm just saying within within the world of organized religion,
over the years.
Speaker 3 (30:05):
People have paid some pretty hefty prices for not conforming.
Speaker 2 (30:09):
So you're saying, like you know, throughout history, uh, medieval
times or whatnot, you know, like the Roman Catholic Church
in Europe, they could be sticklers. That's what you're saying.
Speaker 3 (30:16):
They were sticklers is one word. There was a lot
of sticking with various stuff.
Speaker 1 (30:24):
So true, like if you want to, if you want to,
some of the craziest execution methods were around that time.
Speaker 3 (30:37):
Not good stuff they had. They would sit there and
they would cut they would cut the tongue out, they
would cut the the bits off, like and this was
and this was part of you.
Speaker 1 (30:51):
And then and then even if you then were like no,
you're right, you're right, uh, totally into this religion, then
they'd be like, ah, your soul is saved, and then
they would murder you. Assuming well look he you know
they came around, so now they're gonna go to the
heaven and stuff, right, And I'm I'm not just picking
on the Catholic Church like this is. This is not
(31:12):
a new thing, and it's not even a thing that
completely went away. Is I just evidence where you can
be executed in a country for going I don't feel
like going to church no more. Yeah, I want to
waste my whatever day. I don't want to pray five
times a day. That's way too many.
Speaker 3 (31:29):
That's an executable offense man within the Muslim faith, within
certain Middle Eastern countries, including one where we're putting a
damn Disneyland. So give me this garbage. They were all
secretly trans have you.
Speaker 1 (31:43):
You've seen the you've seen the articles where they're like
Jesus was hooking up with his apostles, right, you want
to get really offensive on this stuff.
Speaker 3 (31:50):
I remember reading that article.
Speaker 1 (31:52):
Probably not Judas though, because he knew he you know,
obviously he's like, ah, one of you will betray me,
and he knew which one. So but yeah, so, I honestly,
I think they people write these articles just outrage Christians
for the clicks. Literary scholar Ronda McDaniel explains that in
(32:13):
tenth century England, adopting the Christian values of shunning wealth, militarism,
and sex made it easier for people to go beyond
strict ideas. So instead of defining gender by separate male
and female values, all individuals could be defined by the
same Christian values. So actually, what you're talking about is
you're talking about the beginnings of equity within a religion.
(32:36):
You're not talking about a trans movement. And also it
took a little while to get there. The Whig Party
was a whole trans political party because men would wear wigs.
That's a good point, Emiller, you should probably write an
article for The New Yorker. They'd sure as help publish
the thing. All right, did you guys see the Epstein update.
(33:00):
I don't know what the hell is going on, but
I'll lay it out for you coming up next. Hang on,
I see some of you want to earn perma blocks
this morning. That's I'm fully aware of the glennar Greenwald thing. Okay,
And if you're not, and you're like, what's he talking,
just don't just don't just don't, okay, But also.
Speaker 3 (33:23):
Don't send that to us. I don't nobody wants to
see that.
Speaker 1 (33:28):
If Glenn Greenwald, who is a grown adult, wants to
don a slutty milk make costume, to have his hands
tied behind his back and make out with some black.
Speaker 3 (33:35):
Dude's foot, that's whatever that's for him. Don't tag us
in that. Don't send me that. I don't even know
the context of it, and I refuse to learn it. Ross.
Speaker 1 (33:46):
Do you know the context of the video? Is it
like somebody's attacking him because they're mad.
Speaker 2 (33:50):
I don't know what it is, but I will come
up when there were several people that tag me in it,
including people that you know call the show often, and
I'm like, this aggression will not stand man, Well, this is.
Speaker 1 (34:01):
A personal attack. And who hasn't done to slutty milk
made costume and been bound right? Who amongst us, right,
I don't need I don't need to see video. Nope,
just okay, all right, this like I don't even I
don't know why it exists. I don't want to know
why it exists. But also you're gonna get yourself on
a list. Leave us out of it.
Speaker 3 (34:23):
Unless there's some criminal thing there or some story other
than whatever. Don't care.
Speaker 1 (34:32):
Now if it's Kate Upton, just hear me out here, right,
maybe maybe yeah, maybe that's different, but no to this, okay,
all right, very good. Apparently kindergarten or kindergarten pen this case,
pre kindergarten melee's are very popular.
Speaker 3 (34:54):
So we opened the show explaining.
Speaker 1 (34:56):
That there was a big old, big old like Vivor series,
a cage match thing going on into kindergarten in outside
of Memphis is where it happened, and the video is insane.
A bunch of parents at a kindergarten graduation decide they're
all gonna throw hands. Probably shouldn't do that, and then
(35:18):
and then the kids aren't even rooting their own parents
on there like crying and stuff and stop. You know
the problem, there's way too some of you're not gonna
like this there's way too many graduations. I've ran it
about this before. You don't need a graduation for kindergarten. Okay,
you sure as hell don't need one for pre K
because apparently a pre K graduation ceremony in where is it?
Speaker 3 (35:42):
Robison County that turned into a giant.
Speaker 1 (35:49):
Fistfight, and that one, we do understand that a family
member of one of the kids asked somebody who was
standing up in front of them if they could sit down,
and that's enough to start punching people over apparently.
Speaker 3 (36:04):
But the bigger issue is, we don't need your kid
doesn't need a graduation for everything.
Speaker 1 (36:10):
It's a bunch of a bunch of six year olds
in cap and gowns. Is ridiculous, and you know what
it is, it's part of it's it's almost the everyone
gets a trophy culture.
Speaker 3 (36:25):
Some hard truths here. Maybe your kids will, you don't.
Speaker 1 (36:27):
You haven't accomplished something yet, I mean accomplished a little something.
Don't get me wrong, right, you're getting into the school thing.
That's going to be a transition, but you haven't achieved
anything yet. I think middle school graduation's a bit sus
I mean, I give you in high school I don't
give you the college.
Speaker 2 (36:45):
I really enjoyed my kids kindergarten graduation. It was a
cute thing for the parents in the time.
Speaker 3 (36:49):
I totally get it. But I'm just saying, in the
in the in the grand scheme of things, you're not
putting it on a resume.
Speaker 10 (36:54):
No. No.
Speaker 2 (36:55):
Back in my day, I don't think I remember. I
don't think we had a kindergarten one. We definitely had
an elementary school. I remember that.
Speaker 1 (37:00):
I remember we had a middle school one and then
a high school. I didn't even go to my high
school one. I graduated, and I graduated early.
Speaker 3 (37:07):
I never went back. Didn't care.
Speaker 1 (37:09):
You know, my photos, not even in my senior yearbook.
That's how little I cared that I'm I'm not taking photos.
I'm not even here anywhere. I was already down in
California at school. I don't get me wrong. I enjoyed
high school. I enjoyed my friends, all of that.
Speaker 3 (37:24):
Didn't care. I think I think I know where my
high school diploma is. I think I know.
Speaker 1 (37:32):
I don't think I've looked at that thing since twenty years.
Didn't want to go through all of it. We just
have way too many graduations. Oh, you learn to not
poop your pants. Let's have a ceremony, right. We need
to save this for major achievements people, and then it
(37:53):
would then limit the ability of people to show up
and be garbage. Humans having fistfights in front of their kids.
Speaker 3 (38:01):
Learn how to act?
Speaker 10 (38:02):
Right?
Speaker 3 (38:02):
Man?
Speaker 1 (38:05):
How many parents were involved in this one in Robeson County?
A hold on, let me open the story here, cant
we were slogged down in this this morning pre k.
Speaker 3 (38:17):
And again it's pre k. It's not even kindergarten, it's
pre K.
Speaker 1 (38:24):
A pre K graduation ceremony on Friday at the Red
Springs Head Start Center abruptly ended after a fight broke
out involving multiple people. Chief Police Chief Sarah Purcell said
they're actively investigating and reviewing the schools surveillance video, along
with any cell phone footage of the melee. Purcell said
(38:45):
the fight started with a relative of one of the
little graduates. Why do you put the word little in there?
I assume they're all little.
Speaker 3 (38:53):
You had grown.
Speaker 1 (38:54):
Adults graduating pre K. You don't have to specify. Purcell
said the fight started when a relative of one of
the little graduates ask someone to move so they could
see their kid. That's what's even crazier in our society.
That's a perfectly reasonable request, if it depending on how
you do it, right, Remember when we used to not
be horrible to each other in these situations.
Speaker 2 (39:16):
That's what I was saying before in the first segment
about the kindergarten. They're in Memphis or wherever it was
where it's yeah, outside of it. Yeah, you have the
parents here, and it's you've got to understand that there
are other parents there with other kids. And you know,
one thing you learn, especially in pre k kindergarten, is
to share, right, Yeah, that's a big thing, right, and
to cooperate with each other. And it's just come on,
(39:37):
act like adults.
Speaker 3 (39:38):
Man. That's woke garbage man, every man for themselves, right,
that's what you're teaching your kids. Uh yeah, hey, uh
do you mind?
Speaker 1 (39:49):
I want to take a picture of my kid because
they're crossing the thing. Punch in the face, you get
punched in the face. I mean, this is where we are.
It's just crazy.
Speaker 2 (39:56):
That's why a lot of this stuff happens. You like,
wonder why the kids act a certain ways because their parents? Yes, oh,
I mean, I mean it's the old you know, fried
egg in the pan. I learned it from watching you dad,
You know right.
Speaker 1 (40:10):
Well, I just all that kid learned how to do
is just smoke a joint properly. Here they're punching people.
Speaker 3 (40:16):
By the way, if you're gonna do drugs, apparently want
to do mushrooms. What a fun transition this is gonna be.
Two hikers in New York's Adirondack Mountains had to call
nine to one one to report a third member of
their party had died. That's worst case scenario.
Speaker 1 (40:32):
Man, You get back, you're doing backcountry, you're hiking back there,
somebody gets hurt, somebody gets.
Speaker 3 (40:36):
Injured, God forbid, somebody dies. Now you got to deal
with that.
Speaker 1 (40:41):
Had a buddy who broke a leg when we were
back in the mountains man, and he really, he really
wanted helicoptered out of there. And then they were like,
you can't fly a helicopter in the middle of the
freaking woods man. So they ended up literally taking them
out on horseback. It's the most wyoming thing ever.
Speaker 3 (40:58):
But like, she didn't die. These poor people they're back there,
their their buddy dies.
Speaker 1 (41:06):
Now they got to call nine to one one. The
state forest rangers got to come out. They got to
get figure out how they're gonna get the body out.
This was a Cascade Mountain area. I don't know exactly where.
That is part of the Adirondack High Peak, so it
sounds a very remote area. The two hikers called nine
one one uh and also talk to a steward.
Speaker 3 (41:26):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (41:27):
I'm assuming that somebody works for the forest there on
the mountain summit that they were lost. One problem though,
their buddy didn't die. They were all just tripping on mushrooms.
Speaker 2 (41:45):
So there I was right way that we were camping
them Mount Vesuvius.
Speaker 3 (41:50):
Yeah, oh well this is page camp there.
Speaker 2 (41:52):
Well this is probably back at like two thousand and four.
Speaker 3 (41:55):
It's been an active volcano longer though.
Speaker 2 (41:57):
Okay, anyway, my buddy roy Felt fell off Mount Vesuvius.
Speaker 3 (42:02):
Oh no, not Roy, Yeah, into the.
Speaker 2 (42:06):
Cold, straight down into the mouth of the beast. Oh man,
there was a beast there at the base of Mount Vesuvius,
I would assume.
Speaker 9 (42:13):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (42:14):
And after it we we we we were in a panic.
And then it turned out we weren't even on Mount Vesuvius.
We were out a chili's Roy wasn't even there.
Speaker 3 (42:24):
I don't even know, Roy, do you have the baby
back ribs?
Speaker 2 (42:26):
We did?
Speaker 3 (42:27):
Oh, that's good, okay.
Speaker 1 (42:29):
The two hikers who called down one one eventually met
up with one of the rangers, who then accompanied them
to their website to retrieve their friend's body, only to
determine that they were in quote an altered mental state.
And when they showed up at the campground there was
the third dude, also high on mushrooms.
Speaker 2 (42:48):
They had to be like super weirded out when they
when he showed up.
Speaker 1 (42:51):
He's a ghost. Yeah, our friends a ghost. But like
I got, you can't even because you tortured some poor
guy on mushrooms.
Speaker 2 (43:02):
I was gonna say, like this, this story is really
funny for me because I you know, I've been completely
honest in the show in the past about you know,
I've been in radio since nineteen ninety seven, right right,
I've seen some stuff in my twenties were really fun,
so I might have some experience with some of this.
Not now, you know, I'm like super clean, living and
sober now. But yeah, my twenties were fun and I
have had some experience, so I can imagine, like you
(43:24):
think your buddy dies and then he shows back up
and like you.
Speaker 3 (43:27):
Just start screaming the rangers like, oh my god. They
lose their mind, like he's a day walker. Wow, he's
a skid walker.
Speaker 1 (43:35):
Just as you understand how much fun Ross had he
put a poor man in a closet and tortured him
with movie posters. So if I'm telling that right, was
that mushrooms your friend was on?
Speaker 3 (43:47):
Try to remember what it was?
Speaker 2 (43:49):
Yeah, this giant walking closet. And he was like he
thought the cops were there, so he ran into the
giant walking closet. He threw in all the I mean,
it's a massive closet. I don't even know how it was.
It didn't fit the apartment. It was super weird. So
he goes in the back of the closet and he
takes all the coats and all everything off the hangars
and throws it on himself and lies flat like he's
(44:09):
hiding from the cops that are.
Speaker 3 (44:11):
Not Yeah, and they get you if you're under coats.
Speaker 2 (44:13):
Yeah, me and my buddy Bob, we decide that we're
going to take we at the time, we collected all
these giant movie posters and these black frames, so we
decided that we were going to take them off the wall,
and then we walked to the entrance of the giant
walking clause that we go, they're coming for you, buddy,
and we started throwing the frames at him and he's
on the ground just like convulsing, thinking he's in attacked.
(44:35):
H fantastic, all the lolls.
Speaker 3 (44:37):
Yeah, good stuff.
Speaker 1 (44:40):
It ever have you ever were you ever in a
house party situation when the cops showed up and everybody
runs and hides, and then right there you determine who's
an idiot.
Speaker 8 (44:48):
I's not.
Speaker 2 (44:48):
I was the one that threw those parties.
Speaker 3 (44:51):
Yeah, oh yeah, no, Me and me and some roommates
had our house. We had a massive party at our
house and we ended up.
Speaker 2 (44:56):
It was it did not go well and I kill It.
Speaker 1 (44:58):
Was crazy as there was like thirty people all hiding
in this house, had like five bedrooms, a huge house.
But like people, you realize the kids that sucked at
hide and go seek back in the day, Yeah, they're like,
I'm gonna hold still against the wall.
Speaker 2 (45:12):
I can see you, yeah, and I would answer the door.
I remember the first time that happened. Once again, early
twenties life experience not now completely different. I've learned list,
but you know, I had my fun. But I remember
opening the door. It was like in the middle of
the night, and then somebody knocked on the door, like
who's that. I open it and there's like three cops
and like dogs, and I remember looking at the dog
(45:32):
going look at you cute, you know, Poppy Arch, not
realizing why the dog was there. Right, like right, everything
was fine, nobody was arrest and everything's fine. But you know, yeah,
some people run.
Speaker 3 (45:43):
Were they strippers or not? They were not, No, they
were not.
Speaker 1 (45:46):
Okay, I don't know why they would bring dogs if
they were strippers, but whatever.
Speaker 8 (45:50):
So we did that.
Speaker 2 (45:52):
Though. We would mess with the people that would come
to the party because my roommate he worked security at
a uh and an adult store. Hm hmm, so he
would he would be security there. This is annoying an
ABC store, huh sure, so he would. He had like
a cop uniform they get like a rental cop uniform.
(46:14):
But in the middle of the party, he would knock
on the door. We would plan it out and he
would act like he was the cops and come in
just to scare the crap out of everybody.
Speaker 3 (46:20):
That's good stuff. So the so one of our neighbor
crawled in she so she she crawled into the crawl
space in the basement when the cops showed up, and
she fell asleep in there, oh dude, for like two hours,
and we all thought she had gone home.
Speaker 1 (46:38):
We thought because a bunch of people ran out in
the backyard. We just assumed she went home because she
lived just down the street. And then like later we
see her going to the bathroom and we're.
Speaker 2 (46:47):
Like, where did you come from?
Speaker 3 (46:49):
Where'd she come from?
Speaker 1 (46:50):
And she had she had literally crawled the crawl space,
which I you know, had like it had like boxes
and coats and a bunch of stuff stored in there,
so I guess it was uh, but also it had
a lot of bugs I remember back in the day.
So she was pretty hammered. So just slept in there. No,
didn't get a ticket or nothing.
Speaker 3 (47:06):
So good on her.
Speaker 1 (47:07):
All right, seven twenty here on the Cacoda Radio program.
So if you're gonna do mushrooms and you think your
friend dies and then they come back, they might be
a ghost. I think that's probably the moral of the
story here. Uh, all right, you're on the you're on
the Glenn Greenwold list there you go, block and he blocked, block,
(47:29):
blocked all of you, all right, seven twenty one, hang out.
My business partner were selling nothing but tar and feathers,
right and and the and then y' all can buy
it for whoever's I just got the third email, and uh, look,
I understand it's anecdotal, but they're all saying the same thing.
And this is New Hanover County, so uh you know,
(47:51):
uh down towards Wilmington. We got some listeners down there
because we've got a big old signal who say that
the county person of their property to just going up
ninety percent?
Speaker 3 (48:03):
Is that accurate? I've heard some horror stories from many
of you in many different counties.
Speaker 2 (48:07):
You have got a friend, a pastor friend that lives
in Fayeville and he occaually the same thing happened. It's
like it's making you know, you've lived in your house forever,
and probably it goes up and makes your your insurance
go up, and the mortgage, everything goes up, and suddenly
the house you've been living in for decades you can't afford.
Speaker 3 (48:22):
Me.
Speaker 1 (48:22):
Just think of let's say that, let's say you're you're
you got an average hume. Let's say your your taxes
are fifteen hundred a year, all right, that's probably that's
probably in the window for many counties. And now it's
twelve hundred dollars more thirteen hundred with thirteen hundred dollars
more more than one hundred dollars per month in additional
property tax. And that's just the county portion. Who the
(48:45):
hell are these people? Just the audacity of it, man,
this lunatic. I just played the commercial court. Now you
got the hiccups. Really, that's great. On ross talking about
tarring and feathering, somebody got drinks of.
Speaker 2 (49:04):
Water, right, So the feathers are super nice. They come
from Mount Vesuvius. They're indigenous to the area. Now the tar,
the tar is the kind there were Man, this is
like good tar. Like yeah, this is like Chapel Hill
tar heel. This is why they're called this right right.
We were actually importing it from Chapel Hill. They were
People's Republic of Chapel Hill. So you know you're getting
a good benefit. Use use what is the promo code
(49:26):
Hayes one hundred to check out why is your name
on it? I started the company you've been bought out.
I bought all the shares.
Speaker 3 (49:33):
Oh no, yeah, hostile takeover all right. Should have seen
that coming.
Speaker 1 (49:36):
So anyway, like and and some of the stories I've
heard you said from Fayetteville. There's one I try to
remember which county, and the Triad was hammering people too.
And wait, don't even get me started on Wake County.
Wake County when one of the early people, I.
Speaker 2 (49:53):
Was about to say, Wake County has also had like
a big increase air. I know my mortgage payment has
gone up because of it.
Speaker 5 (49:59):
Stupid. What are they doing with it?
Speaker 9 (50:04):
What do they do?
Speaker 3 (50:04):
And this is the thing too, like I saw I
heard Kyle and News say that sixty six people moved
to North Carolina every year. Was it the Triangle every day?
Or was it North? It has to be the Triangle,
not North because there's sixty six people. Shouldn't that less.
Speaker 1 (50:22):
I understand that there is going to be an additional
need for services, but a lot of it's factored into
the total population size.
Speaker 3 (50:28):
You get sixty six new people, the hell are you
doing raising taxes that much?
Speaker 1 (50:34):
These And it's because these local especially in the larger cities,
these you know, the county commissioners, the city, county.
Speaker 3 (50:40):
They've all been captured. Man, just chalk full of moonbats.
Speaker 1 (50:43):
That's why some guy can run around probably get elected
mayor in New York because he's essentially bribing people.
Speaker 3 (50:50):
No, we need to bring tarn and feathering back. These
those were days.
Speaker 2 (50:54):
Yeah, man, these people come, you know, and understand it's
ridiculous right now, Like it's not nothing like when we
were younger starting out, Like when my rent my first
apartment in Morehead City was like five hundred dollars, maybe
it was that much, but.
Speaker 1 (51:05):
Three my rent was three hundred and fifty in Wyoming
the first summer I came back right from college, and
I remember I was like three fifty.
Speaker 3 (51:13):
How am I going to afford that? Right?
Speaker 2 (51:15):
And now you've got like kids starting out and the
rent is like two thousand plus, Like a lot of
people paying more for rent that I pay for my
mortgage payment every single month, which is ridiculous. But these
a lot of these people, and I'm not blaming them necessarily,
but you know, the people complaining about the rent, or
the these younger people or people that vote blue where
every time there's like a bond or something up for election,
they vote everything on it, and then everything goes up
(51:37):
because you know, you're the fees of everything are going up,
and then the people that own the land are like, well,
I'm just gonna raise the price so I can taxes
on it, and that affects the renters.
Speaker 1 (51:47):
Right, Yeah, I understand if you're a landlord and you're
just let's say your taxes did go up ninety percent.
Speaker 3 (51:54):
You either got to eat that or pass it along.
Speaker 2 (51:56):
When's the last time and maybe there was one, when's
the last time that you know one of these in
Wake Forest was on the ballot and it was not
or in Wake County was on the ballot and it
was not voted for it.
Speaker 3 (52:05):
The I don't think they ever.
Speaker 1 (52:06):
I don't think in the fifteen years or whatever I've
been voting in Wake County, I've probably seen and you
you as well, we've probably seen twenty bonds.
Speaker 3 (52:15):
If they pass every time I stop doing that, stop voting.
They're the same bonds for the same things.
Speaker 2 (52:19):
And that's that's the only way I see it. Like,
every time I see a bond in the ballot, I'm like,
this is gonna make everything go up, and I'm tired
of everything going up. Someone to vote no every time.
Speaker 3 (52:27):
And they're all like, we had three in a row
for parks. Are there new parks? Where's the new park?
Speaker 1 (52:33):
I live across the street from apart my house and
Rally's across the street from a park. I'm not telling you,
psychos which one it's.
Speaker 3 (52:39):
It's it's been the same. I think they redid the
bathrooms a few years ago. It's just it's just there's
a field there, people go play. There's a school nearby.
Speaker 1 (52:51):
Sometimes the kids come over and do really loud things
over there, especially at the end of the year, or
they have like these because they don't want to teach
them anything. So the last few days school is always like,
let's bring an amplification system to this park and blasted
at Casey's house.
Speaker 5 (53:06):
That's what they do.
Speaker 3 (53:08):
But whatever the park. But every year there's a damn
park bond. What are we doing with it?
Speaker 1 (53:17):
I mean, the only last big renovation of a park,
not counting the pulling Dick's Park complex in the wake
Forest area was was what more Square? Where they redid
more square so they could fit more hoboes in there,
give more benches to sleep on, and then open a
hot dog stand that nobody goes to because there's too
many hobos. You just get panhandled trying to walk. You
(53:39):
can't even go to marbles without getting panhandled.
Speaker 3 (53:42):
You go to the IMAX. There is that what I
paid for? I guess ross. They got big.
Speaker 1 (53:50):
They got a big, beautiful new park near your house.
All that money they took from you?
Speaker 3 (53:54):
Probably not. Now what do you have? You have condos
that blot out the sun.
Speaker 1 (53:59):
That's what you got, which feasibly should have now pay
you know, because of the cost of those, should pay
more into the system if it's based on a percentage.
So why you gotta go jack everybody else's property taxes?
Speaker 3 (54:14):
No tarn and feathering.
Speaker 1 (54:15):
By the way, I want to be clear, I don't
want you to physically abduct an elected official and tarn
feather them, but I want you to think.
Speaker 3 (54:21):
It's a good idea. All right, hold on, all right,
Sam's gonna fill us in. Yes, Sam, what's up?
Speaker 10 (54:30):
Hell?
Speaker 5 (54:31):
Anything I can do?
Speaker 7 (54:32):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (54:33):
Yeah, you're on the air, sir. You go right ahead.
Speaker 9 (54:35):
Hey, Hey, Casey, how are you this morning?
Speaker 3 (54:38):
I'm angry. I want to turn feather people, but not really,
so I'm with you, dude.
Speaker 9 (54:43):
So you ask where the money goes this year when
there wasn't enough money to fund our schools in the budget.
There's a dog pound gonna be built out on Auburn
Nightdale Road. Eight thousand square feet dog school for a
dog pound and one hundred and ten acres.
Speaker 3 (55:08):
You say you say you said dog point. Do you
mean an actual dog pound?
Speaker 9 (55:12):
Sir? A dog pound on class A what normally would
you know? You'd see a food line and a retail
shopping center. They're going to put a fifty eight thousand
pound retail dogtown.
Speaker 6 (55:27):
Jeez.
Speaker 1 (55:30):
I've been to the Wake County Animal Shelter and I
understand the size limitations there. I'm assuming it's an expansion
of that.
Speaker 9 (55:37):
Sure, and normally the community would respond by increasing the
size of the facility and they'd go put it on
the landfill where it belongs. But this is grade age
retail space, and they're going to put this They perceived
the dog pound is what should be a retail almost
(55:59):
entertainment district, so people can come and visit the two
hundred and sixty five dogs that live there.
Speaker 3 (56:05):
Can we dip elected officials in like a beef broth
and throw them in there?
Speaker 5 (56:12):
Yeah, I hear you did okay, thank you much.
Speaker 3 (56:15):
That'd be a way too good, Beef Broth. Thanks for
the call there, I saw it.
Speaker 1 (56:19):
There was another stat in the news yesterday that the
average first time home buyer age is about to eclipse forty.
That's crazy. The average age of first time home buyer
in the US is soon going to be.
Speaker 3 (56:34):
Forty years old. And I think it's actually higher, AS's
like forty one or something. What are we doing? What
are we doing? Cjy, what's up?
Speaker 8 (56:44):
Oh?
Speaker 10 (56:44):
Yes, sir, do you guys talk about tax increases in
Franklin County. I have a buildings to be assessed at
two hundred and sixty thousand. They just reassessed it at
one point five to eight mil.
Speaker 1 (56:55):
Oh okay, Well, the people would tell you to quit
whining because you have all that equity now, sir.
Speaker 9 (57:00):
Well, and they did.
Speaker 10 (57:01):
I called and I expressed my concern and the lady
said that's just how it is. And I said, man,
I'm not trying to be rude or anything, and I
hope you don't take my frustration personally, but this is ridiculous.
And she says, sir, I live and I work here
in this tax office, and I'm not happy either. And
I said, where's all the money going? Because you know,
you know how people talk about these tax increases, they
(57:21):
are supposed to help our schools. Well, what about this
this lottery thing where all these billions of dollars are
raised for our schools and we don't get one penny
of it?
Speaker 3 (57:30):
Think about Well that's not true, sir. I think I
read that they would get between three and five percent
of it. So it's just ridiculous.
Speaker 10 (57:38):
Hey, man, I want to get into the lottery business.
You and I will split the difference.
Speaker 3 (57:42):
Yeah. Well yeah, I'm already in the tar and feather
business or very busy there.
Speaker 10 (57:45):
I like that too.
Speaker 5 (57:46):
Well, thank you for your time, all right, Yeah.
Speaker 3 (57:48):
You have yourself a good one. Yeah, it's just I mean,
there's I don't know, now, there is a way to
do this, right, There is a way to do this,
and it works like this. And I remember cities in
Minnesota used to do their budgets this way, and I thought, oh, okay,
well that actually makes sense because it would guard against
(58:10):
rapid tax increases because you know, it's not just one. Yeah,
there's gonna be situations where a piece of particular piece
of property becomes much more valuable because I don't know,
maybe there's a new road that's going to provide access,
maybe they run utilities there and that increctly, and I
understand all of that, but the way it works like this,
So the city would say, all right, we need one
hundred million to run the city. Okay, we need a
(58:32):
hundred million, and let's say and just hypothetically, let's say
you need a hundred million and he got a hundred residents.
I know that's insane, but everybody's liability to be what
a million dollars? Okay, I just I mean, you're trying
to use easy numbers.
Speaker 1 (58:47):
Let's say that the value, and then it's assessed based
on the value of your property. So if you're home,
it wouldn't be a million for everybody, because one guy's
house is worth twice as much, so he's got tys
twice as much tax liability. However, the next year, if
the value of everyone's home goes up, but you still
(59:08):
only need one hundred million to run the city, your
taxes really don't go up because you're paying an allocated
percentage based on your property, and if everybody's property went
up fifty percent wouldn't adjust your taxes. That's not how
we do it, because then you can't shoehorn in a
bunch of giant increases. So then I get emails from
(59:32):
people going, they're going to raise my county property tax
ninety percent. It's already insane that you get county property
tax on your car. Just a money suck. And I
appreciate the changes at the state level, but something's got
to give at the county and local levels, especially if
you live in a community that is a high demand
(59:55):
community where people are moving in, moving in, moving in,
and you know, Raley be a good example of that.
Blowing up, just absolutely blowing up.
Speaker 3 (01:00:05):
Man.
Speaker 1 (01:00:06):
All right, Oh we're on the comrades today. Okay, all right,
raced agic from the Wetherschad. We try to figure that out. So, oh,
I don't know the same thing.
Speaker 3 (01:00:15):
Oh the whole reason we're gonna be on the comrades.
But then the thing didn't happen, and it's a whole thing.
Speaker 4 (01:00:21):
Oh I just dialed. I was like an autopiled that.
I didn't even think. We'll wait yesterday and the day
before we were on the phone and the science right, yeah, well.
Speaker 1 (01:00:29):
We had a U we had we had one of
our national broadcasters was using our building, so they needed
uh what you normally call in and then they.
Speaker 3 (01:00:39):
Didn't show up or something, so yeah, good. Fortunately I
had to get up Ross, I had to get up
this morning. You're up this morning.
Speaker 5 (01:00:46):
So yeah, we're all so lucky. So no, not so
lucky at all.
Speaker 3 (01:00:49):
All right, what's going on? Give us something to be
happy about this weekend? Because I'm just angry today, So yeah.
Speaker 4 (01:00:54):
I think it improves as time goes by. May have
to deal with some severe weather today west to east.
Let's just say try it first because the storms are
coming from the west, and let's make that timeframe from
about noon on depends on how far west you go
and rolling east through this evening, so it's gonna be
quick moving. So only in a couple hours where you'll
be threatened by severe weather. Most of us are in
(01:01:15):
a slight risk. Could be some strong damaging winds, some hail,
maybe an isolated tornado, so just be on your guard
this afternoon. Could be some rough weather around. Watch out
of the downpours too. They could sell you on the roadways.
Upper seventies to low eighties. Showers and thunderstorms diminished early
tonight and then clearing some sun and clouds tomorrow, maybe
a stray shower storm upper seventies, slight chance of an
(01:01:37):
afternoon shower on Sunday, So we slowly start improving each
day through the weekend. Sunday's high close to eighty degrees.
Early next week through about Wednesday, actually look a real
nice around here with plenty of sun and could start
seeing temperatures inch up toward ninety degrees, So case a
little rough weather to deal with, likely shower storms that
(01:01:57):
may be severe today, and then I think slowly will
start improving tomorrow, just a little rain around even less
on Sunday, and temperatures then early next week start to
come up and start feeling like summertime as we get
into meteorological summer on Sunday, so that starts Lantic hurricane
season starts.
Speaker 3 (01:02:13):
Have your own summer, Yeah, own summer.
Speaker 5 (01:02:16):
Thanks, Yeah, we are, we'd like to think.
Speaker 3 (01:02:17):
So anyway, that's it all right, you know, Ross and
are going to make up your own seasons, and you
will make you abide by those.
Speaker 5 (01:02:23):
So yeah, yeah, what do you want to do.
Speaker 4 (01:02:26):
Right, Well, you've got looks right, so you've got you
kind of abide by books fall spring's.
Speaker 6 (01:02:33):
Kind of.
Speaker 3 (01:02:36):
Get thirteen months now?
Speaker 5 (01:02:37):
Well, yeah, got it all right?
Speaker 1 (01:02:41):
I got a roll, Thank you Ross. What is every
man's worst nightmare in a bathroom? Go into a bathroom
and this happens to you? What is top three nightmare
fuel that can happen to ADU in a restroom?
Speaker 2 (01:02:55):
Yeah, like you're sitting down and something like bites it off.
Speaker 3 (01:02:58):
That story.
Speaker 1 (01:02:59):
Next, when you go in to use the bathroom, you
look in the toilet first, right or is that not normal?
Speaker 3 (01:03:07):
And that's just me? Don't you kind of look see
what's going on in there?
Speaker 2 (01:03:11):
Like every time?
Speaker 3 (01:03:12):
Every time mostly just like did somebody not flush?
Speaker 1 (01:03:15):
What's going on here? Make sure there's water in there?
You check the toilet sea position if it's the middle
of the night. This dude, but I think he will
going forward. They oh, they don't identify him. Well, I
guess he didn't technically do anything illegal. A thirty eight
year old man was using the bathroom when all of
(01:03:38):
a sudden, he said, he felt a sudden, sharp pain
and looked down, only to discover an eleven foot python's
jaws clamped around his business. I guess maybe he thought
it was a mouse or something. I don't know, so
the python is fully clamped around that, at which point
(01:04:00):
he said he started yelling for his wife, who called
emergency services and then came into the bathroom and wrestled
the snake to try to free it from her husband's
at which point the thirty eight ro man is said
to have passed out from the pain and woke up
to find emergency services arriving, and that his wife had
(01:04:24):
tied a rope around the snake's head to keep it
from slithering away.
Speaker 3 (01:04:29):
That's love, man, dude, your wife is uh, she's that's a.
That's a. That's that's wifey.
Speaker 2 (01:04:35):
Materials say he married a badass.
Speaker 1 (01:04:39):
Cac O Day Radio program our number three Happy Friday,
and even though it was you know, short and week
with just four days, luckily the news cycle was able
to pack.
Speaker 3 (01:04:50):
As much as as much insanity as possible. So to
help us go through some of that and we WI
come in Pete Calender middays w B T joining us.
How you doing, sir, I'm doing okay.
Speaker 8 (01:05:01):
How are you?
Speaker 3 (01:05:03):
Yeah, I'm good.
Speaker 1 (01:05:04):
I'm sorry We're going to have to start this or
I kind of make you mad again. But just to
recap last week, we talked about the people the fraud
with the Paycheck Protection Act.
Speaker 3 (01:05:17):
Right, we have that story.
Speaker 6 (01:05:18):
Yeah, you died.
Speaker 3 (01:05:20):
You were explaining how angry it made you for very
good reason. If you want to recap that before I
make you angry again.
Speaker 8 (01:05:28):
Oh do you want me?
Speaker 3 (01:05:30):
Yeah? Yeah, just recap in case people didn't hear what
the what the prize is?
Speaker 8 (01:05:34):
Yeah, before you're you're you're like specifically inducing the anger
by making me recap. Okay, it's what we do.
Speaker 3 (01:05:42):
We do talk radio. We're here to make.
Speaker 10 (01:05:45):
Okay fair enough.
Speaker 8 (01:05:46):
Yes, So we have a Charlotte City council woman elected
in her first term in twenty twenty three, and last
week she was indicted a little bit over a week ago,
I guess. She was indicted by federal grand jury for
fraudulently filing applications for COVID loans like the PvP the EIDL,
(01:06:07):
And that occurred before she was on council and before
she ran for election, And so she got indicted along
with her two daughters who are adults, and they all
filed basically identical paperwork, and they cited documents like Schedule
CRS tax forms that were never actually filed with the IRS.
(01:06:29):
So they just fabricated some scheduled c forms and after
she was indicted, she claims she's completely innocent, and when
she was made aware of the scrutiny of the loans,
she immediately paid back twenty thousand dollars twenty one hundred
dollars or twenty one thousand dollars, So that means obviously
that she has nothing to hide, although when she called
(01:06:51):
her press conference claiming that only an innocent person would
do that and sit and answer questions, she then refused
to answer a whole bunch of questions. She appeared on
I guess it would have been Friday in Setal Court
for her arraignment on bond. She was given an unsecured
bond and could not then resist telling the media on
(01:07:12):
the way out the door that she is not going
to resign. The people voted for her and she sees
no reason to step aside because she paid it back
and that's what an innocent person would do, and a
third party had filled out those forms, not her. She
did not identify the third party. But then she got
in her car and took off, and then there was
(01:07:35):
a town hall meeting. Actually I think it was Yeah, Wednesday.
It was already pre planned. She appeared, yes, in her
district three, and she appears at the town hall, and
quite surprisingly, not a single person who came to the
town hall had anything to ask or say about the indictment.
(01:07:57):
That's weird, right, Oh, I forgot to mention this woman
also served time in federal prison back in the ninety
for fraud.
Speaker 3 (01:08:08):
Okay, so a pattern, some would say, there might be
a pattern there.
Speaker 8 (01:08:12):
I will.
Speaker 1 (01:08:12):
We talked about that last week. Yes, I did not
realize how amateur hour it was. Oh yeah, she's not
even putting real numbers up. I got three stories in
my stack today. I don't even know where to start.
Let me start with this. The Department of Justice charged
six individuals, including a USDA employee, for and this number
(01:08:35):
is insane.
Speaker 3 (01:08:35):
All right, you're gonna think I'm made. You think that
I'm getting I'm reading it wrong.
Speaker 1 (01:08:41):
The the food stamp fraud, which the DOJ estimates amassed
nearly sixty six million dollars in fraudulent transactions, basically required
her and her cohorts to create one hundred This is
what is alleged create one hundred and sixty unauthorized ebt terminals.
(01:09:05):
She would then issue essentially fraudulent EBT cards. They'd go
run them through the terminals. The terminal then would get
reimbursed as the program did. And they've been doing this
since twenty nineteen and it is now only coming to light.
Speaker 3 (01:09:19):
That's sort number one. That's story number one. Story number two.
Speaker 1 (01:09:23):
The Trump administration is expected to pause Job Corps, claiming
there is nearly two billion dollars in wasteful or fraudulent
spending within that And a Raleigh pastor was just indicted
for a half million dollars of the PP the loan
fraud with the COVID dollars.
Speaker 3 (01:09:42):
So like, in a way, this woman could have done more.
Speaker 8 (01:09:46):
Yeah, Tiajuana Brown, that's her name, is Charlotte City council woman.
And that's not a misspeak. It's Tia Wanna but not
spelled like the city. Yeah, she seems downright restraint in
her alleged fraud compared to those other examples. But here's
the thing, and she doesn't I guess understand this from
maybe nobody has told her, is that the FEDS make
(01:10:10):
it a point to crack down harder on elected officials
because versus private citizens, because of the corrosive effect that
it has in the society when people who are elected
to public office engage in this kind of behavior. And
to date, I am not aware of a single Democrat
(01:10:31):
colleague on city council, at the county level, any Democrat
Party officials, state Democrat Party officials, Not a single person
has come out and said that she needs to resign
her seat. Nobody, which is that.
Speaker 3 (01:10:46):
Would be racist. I saw people on Twitter saying that
she should not have to resign because it would be racist,
which they didn't back up why it would be racist
other than she's not, I guess, but.
Speaker 8 (01:11:03):
So well, and and that's and that's part of the
issue here. I mean, the Charlotte City Council is nine
Democrats and eleven out of eleven members, and all of
those Democrats are in fact black, So any Democrat colleague
of hers, those and there are there are some on
the council that don't agree with her, that that vote
against hers. There's a you know, two different blocks of
(01:11:25):
the Democrat voters based or Democrat council members that vote
against each other and such. And there are two Republicans
who are basically after thoughts, but they can they can
you know, swing votes, if the if the blocks are
sufficiently evenly divided, so it's not it's not at all racist.
And this is another example. You use the word racist
for any kind of criticism of a black elected official,
(01:11:49):
and the word then loses its power. In fact, there
was an open letter written by a local an activist
in her district, Robin Emmons, that went the viral in
the Charlotte area where she outlined all of the problems
from Tijuana Brown to our sheriff Gary not my fault McFadden,
where nothing is ever his fault. And then there you know,
(01:12:12):
the police chief payout on the Charlotte City Council. All
of this stuff going on, and this is this is
eroding confidence in you know, among the public. And you
know she said that, uh, you know, things need to change.
People need to hold themselves more accountable and be you
are held to a higher standard as an elected official,
and her colleagues should be holding her to a higher standard. Uh,
(01:12:34):
Robin Emans, the author of that open letter is a
black female and a food activist and farmer in the district.
And well she's yeah, so she raises crops and then yeah,
she's a farmer raises crops and then created this activism
(01:12:56):
enterprise around getting fresh produce into underserved communities in the
Charlotte area. Or they donate and you've got a whole
bunch of farmers that then uh, you know, give portions
of their yields to the local schools or food or
food banks.
Speaker 3 (01:13:13):
And WHATNOTT has a bad you know, as a negative
connotation a lot of times. Okay, I'm done with that.
Speaker 8 (01:13:20):
Good, right. So yeah, so she so here's the person
who's actually trying to you know, be the change and
to solve some problems and such. And then she looks
over and sees, you know, this convicted felon who is
elected to the Charlotte City Council and is now indicted
for another fraud. And she's like, I'm not going to
resign and my and she keeps saying, my colleagues stand
(01:13:42):
with me, They're supporting me, and I see no evidence
of that. But I haven't seen any evidence of them
saying anything to the effect that she needs to step down,
Like where is our chamber of commerce? Where or our
business leaders? This stuff has an impact on the brand
of Charlotte. And when you see the types of stories
that are coming out over the last you know month,
(01:14:03):
This is this is not helpful in recruitment and retention.
People don't want to open businesses in areas that they
think are corrupt because they don't want to have to
play that kind of a game in order to be successful.
Speaker 1 (01:14:16):
Yeah, but my reason, and let me just broaden this
back to where we are. Like all of those stories
that I just told you were just in the news
cycle yesterday.
Speaker 3 (01:14:27):
You know, sixty six.
Speaker 1 (01:14:28):
Million in food stamp fraud sixty six Do you know
how hard you have to work to steal sixty six
million dollars one EBT card at a time? And and
yesterday I'm greeted with a panel of Democrat reps on
like CNN talking about how the first thing they're going
to do if they regain power is investigate Elon Muskin doge.
Speaker 8 (01:14:50):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (01:14:51):
Right.
Speaker 1 (01:14:51):
And and you know, in a lot of in in China,
they just executed a CEO for stealing what fifty million
In the Philippines, they're probably going to execute that woman
who owns all owns all the land there.
Speaker 3 (01:15:03):
She's like one of the biggest private landowners.
Speaker 1 (01:15:05):
She was doing fraud. They're going to execute her. They
accused her of stealing like a billion dollars. I'm not
saying that's what we need to do. I'm just pointing
out that everywhere I turn now we're actually getting into
some indictments. It shows you how easy it is to
absolutely fleece the system. And people would argue, well, no,
they're just getting caught now. They were they would if
Donald Trump was in there. I wasn't in there.
Speaker 3 (01:15:27):
I don't think these people would be getting caught.
Speaker 8 (01:15:30):
No. No, because and this is one of the it's
one of the great ironies that the people who advocate
the most and the loudest for these types of programs
to help people are the same people who are the
least interested in rooting out the waste and abuse and
the fraud that undermines the very purpose of the programs
(01:15:51):
that they advocate for. You would think that the ones
who say we need to expand snap benefits, right, You
would think those people would be the most fiscally prudent
to make sure every single dollar went to the people
that they are intensively trying to help with the program.
But they are actually the least interested people in it,
which gets to the psychology behind the the advocating of
(01:16:13):
these types of programs in that the people who are
the most vocal about this, they don't really get their
dopamine hits and their feelings of self satisfaction. They don't
get that from actually helping the people. They get it
from knowing that other people hear them say I want
to help other people. So whether or not people are
helped is irrelevant. The only thing that matters is do
(01:16:36):
people think that I am an advocate to help them?
Speaker 1 (01:16:39):
And and and will the willingness to do stuff in
assume like the audacity to think you could get away
with that, the audacity of that administrator or I guess
now former administrator at UNC Charlotte.
Speaker 3 (01:16:51):
We've seen a bunch of videos like this for those of.
Speaker 1 (01:16:54):
You who don't know the story is on video bragging
about how they're going to play word games so that
DEI stuff can continues, right, Yeah, we've seen a few
of these.
Speaker 8 (01:17:04):
Yeah, it was an undercover video released by Accuracy in
Media or AIM and I don't know when it was recorded,
but yeah, I mean the USC system supposedly right past
policy changes to uproot the whole DEI infrastructure that is
just you know, spreading like a cancer through these institutions.
(01:17:24):
And by the way, not reducing racism, not reducing any
of these problems, they actually make them worse. And that's
according to Harvard's own research on this stuff. So they
were told to stop doing it, and lo and behold,
shocker of shocks that the people who are doing this
kind of activism work inside these institutions. They simply go covert.
(01:17:49):
They do a rebrand of the office. Oh, we totally
closed our DEI office unc. Charlotte had three different offices
for DEI Craft and so they alway closed in down
and we reassigned like all these people. Yeah, but those
people haven't changed their ideology or their mission, right. They
are activists, and so they are attempting to work within
(01:18:11):
the institutions in order to tear them down and rebuild
the utopian vision of whatever the hell that looks like.
But I'm going to go out on a limen suggest
it's probably a little bit Marxist. And lo and behold,
they caught one of these women on video saying that
this is what she is doing. We're just not using
these words. We're going to finesse the language and we'll
just be working covert. She literally says that, and she
(01:18:34):
is now out of a job. And according to aim
accuracy and media, they have been running these types of
ops in schools all across the state. So Charlotte, So
everybody make fun of UNC Charlotte today, But tomorrow or
next week they are going to be other schools that
get busted for this.
Speaker 3 (01:18:52):
Yeah. And I remember the number out of the Chapel Hill,
the number of offices they had, And I remember thinking
it was a typo.
Speaker 9 (01:19:02):
They a zero?
Speaker 3 (01:19:03):
What happened here? What's what's going on?
Speaker 5 (01:19:06):
All right?
Speaker 3 (01:19:07):
And and and by the way, these are the same
geniuses that, when it is actually time for them to
serve the public, come up with things like this. So
I got two minutes.
Speaker 1 (01:19:14):
Hypothetically, Pete, let's say that you had a convenience store
where about once a week, somebody'd rob it and murder somebody.
Speaker 3 (01:19:22):
Right, probably bad? Right, Yeah, I'd be a bad How
would you stop that?
Speaker 8 (01:19:28):
I would arm all of my employees at the convenience store,
and right.
Speaker 3 (01:19:33):
So you close the store and ban people from going there. Right,
So there's no, no, that's no.
Speaker 8 (01:19:38):
That's a terrible idea, because then I wouldn't have a business.
Speaker 1 (01:19:40):
Wait, isn't that how you guys are solving your bush?
Why are all the bus depots psychopath breeding graps? By
the way, every every town's like that, the one in Winston,
the one in Raleigh. They're all like crazy is everywhere.
So so they have a safety problem there, and rather
than cracking down on the lunatics creating a safety problem,
they're gonna just close all the businesses.
Speaker 3 (01:20:01):
Am I reading this?
Speaker 8 (01:20:01):
Yeah? Correct? Yeah, they're going to so the Charlotte Area
Transit System or cats. They are telling everybody at the
transit center, all the little concessionaires and stuff, the little
businesses like a burger king, whatever you've got, your leases
are not being renewed. Everybody's going to be out by
September October because they want to turn it into a
fair only. Like if you don't have a fare to
(01:20:23):
get into the transit center, then you won't be there
and that'll kind of keep out all the riff rafts
and such. But so now, if you would like to
engage in the murdering or in the robbing of people,
you will have to pay the bus fare of two
dollars and twenty cents or if you are if you're yeah, yeah. Yeah.
If you are a juvenile, though, you're in luck because
(01:20:43):
not only will you probably not get charged as an adult,
but also the fare is only a buck ten.
Speaker 1 (01:20:48):
Now, if I don't want to murder, I just want
to show my private parts to somebody on the bus,
is it the same fair, same thing?
Speaker 8 (01:20:53):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, same fare. There's no difference, right, if
you just want to expose yourself, you want to whip
up on somebody two twenty if you're in a dollar
ten if you're a kid.
Speaker 1 (01:21:01):
All right, Pete, been fun, informative. We'll talk next week
and we'll be right back.
Speaker 3 (01:21:05):
The story of athleticism a brand new record set, very
inspirational story. So yesterday was the.
Speaker 1 (01:21:16):
The championship game for the Minnesota High school girls softball
and the pitcher, the starting pitcher for the team, was
also the starting pitcher for the semi final game that
they just previously played, pitched fourteen straight shutout innings. Just
remember there's only seven innings in women's softball, So two games,
(01:21:37):
starting pitcher, fourteen shutout innings and these were the state
championship games and they defeated the defending state champs.
Speaker 3 (01:21:45):
That's amazing, huh. Pretty cool, Huh, it.
Speaker 2 (01:21:49):
Is pretty amazing.
Speaker 3 (01:21:51):
Yeah, anyway, I have a question. Oh yeah, which which
city does does the pitcher play for?
Speaker 2 (01:22:00):
Oh no, this isn't the first time hearing the story.
We didn't like prepare this. He just came back with
break you know, from I did. I just saw the
I just saw the stat there. I was like, Oh,
that's impressive. Unfortunately, Yeah, I've got to ask the question.
Speaker 3 (01:22:13):
Uh, what's that?
Speaker 9 (01:22:14):
What was it?
Speaker 2 (01:22:15):
A dude?
Speaker 3 (01:22:15):
It's a dude, Yeah, of course it was. Yeah, you
can tell because one it's a dude, and two, uh
is throwing a softball underhand at Major League Baseball speed.
So yeah, can you imagine.
Speaker 2 (01:22:33):
How frustrating does it have to be if you are
you know, you're a female athlete and you work and
you train and you put in the work and.
Speaker 3 (01:22:40):
You're the best in the stage. You're in the state
championship game, right, and the bro just comes in and
just cook you.
Speaker 4 (01:22:47):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (01:22:47):
Two straight games, two straight games, fourteen innings, shut out,
not no, nothing, nobody got nothing, nothing, nobody put up
a run.
Speaker 1 (01:22:59):
I don't think any advanced past first base. If I
was really if I remember what I was reading earlier, and.
Speaker 3 (01:23:08):
I don't know what the answer.
Speaker 1 (01:23:09):
The schools are just gonna have to refuse to play
or the kids are I understand. Like you remember that
girl who walked away from fencing. It was considered probably
going to be somebody who would compete to go to
the Olympics.
Speaker 2 (01:23:19):
Yeah, you've seen a few stories like that, and it's
always like, I think that's brave and it's commendable to
be like, I'm not doing this, I'm not participating in
this lunacy.
Speaker 3 (01:23:28):
And she's out, she.
Speaker 1 (01:23:29):
Can't participate in fencing now, Like so it isn't just
you're not going to be there for that. You have
to be willing to give up this thing that you're
very passionate about. Clearly she's passionate if she's among the
best in the world or potential has the potential to be.
And meanwhile, after if you're the team who now has
to play that team for the championship and you just
(01:23:50):
watched this the semi finals and another team that's among
the best in the state couldn't put the bat on
the bowl once, how positive are you going into that game?
Speaker 3 (01:24:03):
And then it just repeated itself.
Speaker 2 (01:24:05):
At that point, you just got to fight fire with
fire and go down to Central America and found find
like a twenty eight thirty two year old dude who's
just like, you know, like a ringer. Bring in a
ringer and put.
Speaker 3 (01:24:15):
Him in a put him in a wig or something,
and oh that's how Wait, that's how they do.
Speaker 5 (01:24:21):
It in the Little league.
Speaker 3 (01:24:22):
So I don't I don't, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (01:24:23):
Oh, to be fair, I think they only went to
Cuba to find that kid. What did they What did
that turn out being?
Speaker 3 (01:24:29):
I remember there was some twist with that too, and
I think I think he went and played minor league
baseball too, So that was pretty good? All right?
Speaker 8 (01:24:38):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (01:24:38):
Wait, hold on, Boston Paul just sent me some what
is this? Was it Boston Paul's birthday? How old is
Boston Paul Ross? What do we think?
Speaker 2 (01:24:50):
I would say? Boston Paul is a spry thirty three
years young. Oh, thirty three years young.
Speaker 3 (01:24:58):
So he wasn't an eyewitness to the Boston massacre because
I had heard that.
Speaker 2 (01:25:02):
Now, if I'm really saying how I don't know how
old is Paul? I don't know, like sixty two, sixty.
Speaker 3 (01:25:06):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (01:25:06):
But he got a bottle of whiskey. He's very excited,
although I don't know if I believe this is your
bottle of whiskey. You sent me a picture of First
of all, it's Trump whiskey. I didn't know there was
Trump whiskey. Why would you buy whiskey from Trump? I'm serious,
Yeah I would.
Speaker 2 (01:25:20):
No, No, I'm not. I mean you don't want to
buy like an alcoholic product, right from from somebody who's
like stone cold sober his entire life.
Speaker 1 (01:25:29):
Yeah, like how would he know if it's good or not?
I mean, that's that would be my question. No offense,
but like, what do you know about whiskey?
Speaker 3 (01:25:38):
I mean, and also Boston Paul, the bottle's full, So
I don't know if I believe this is yours.
Speaker 2 (01:25:42):
Now they do, right, They used to make whiskey in
Tennessee and like dry counties right, Oh are you talking?
Speaker 3 (01:25:51):
Are you talking about legal or illegal whiskey? Uh?
Speaker 2 (01:25:54):
There was I remember one of them. I drove through it.
It was super weird. It was a dry county, but
that's where they processed and made the whiskey.
Speaker 1 (01:26:01):
Oh yeah, yeah, I went to a lake in Tennessee
that was in a dry county. I'm trying to remember
which county it.
Speaker 3 (01:26:06):
Was except at the lake, and it was for a
media event.
Speaker 1 (01:26:10):
It was when I was doing some of the outdoor
media stuff and they have this they have a conference
every year and they move it around, and so we
go there, and so you have a bunch of like
outdoor media people and he can't buy booze. And so
the guy who owned the marina where we were all
kind of staying, like we were on houseboats would go.
Speaker 3 (01:26:28):
He'd go and like he'd go to where he could
get it, and he would he would come back with
truckloads of booze, which was a horrible idea because then
everyone would get hammered and be jumping off the houseboats
and stuff. And I'm like, all right, I kind of
understand why it's dry here, but I want to say
they made whiskey in that county too, So I think
I know what you're talking about. Yeah, I don't know,
(01:26:49):
but uh yeah. So all right, so there's Trump whiskey
or what's it called, forty five forty seven?
Speaker 1 (01:26:55):
See what they did with the numbers there? All right, Well,
you have to let me know if it's good. But again,
I you know, how would Trump know if it's good?
Speaker 5 (01:27:04):
Guy?
Speaker 3 (01:27:04):
I don't drink.
Speaker 2 (01:27:04):
Yeah, look at it, add a google it. Jack Daniels
is made in a dry county.
Speaker 3 (01:27:08):
Oh okay, yeah, all right, what's the what's the county name?
Speaker 8 (01:27:12):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (01:27:13):
Produced in Lynchburg, Tennessee.
Speaker 3 (01:27:15):
Located in Moore County, Moore County, Okay, Yeah, this was
it wasn't It wasn't near Lynchburg. I can't remember where
it was. It was so many years ago. But and
I remember one of the dudes did not make the
clearance on the houseboat and his leg banged off of it.
And that was the whole thing. But he had drink
so much.
Speaker 1 (01:27:32):
I don't think he cared. So there's that as well.
All right, real quick, couple of things here, Well, this
show is just flying by.
Speaker 10 (01:27:42):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (01:27:42):
Former First Lady Michelle Obama said that a woman's ability
to grow a human life is quote the least of
what her reproductive system is for. Then what's it for?
What it's it's called? What it's called the re productive ross?
Speaker 1 (01:28:00):
Would you look up see what the word reproductive means
'ros's going to google that because I feel like it
may tip us off as to what the system might
be good for or used for.
Speaker 3 (01:28:12):
Sorry, the phone with somebody very important. Would you say, oh, oh,
is it Boston Paul? Is he sober or not? All right,
we'll check in a moment. So Michelle Obama said that
a woman's reproductive system and her ability to grow life
is quote the least of what a reproductive system is.
For a system called a reproductive system meaning to reproduce
(01:28:36):
some would say life. The author said that the frustrating
thing is the issue has been reduced to a question
of choice. I'm not going to read all over garbage.
What a dumb statement.
Speaker 1 (01:28:47):
By the way, have you seen her podcast numbers are
like six or seven percent of what her first episode was,
So that thing's tank and thankfully all right, So if
a woman's reproduct active system is not primarily for reproducing life,
then I don't know what the hell it's for.
Speaker 3 (01:29:10):
But you did to bring on some obg y n
who said.
Speaker 5 (01:29:14):
What is it for you?
Speaker 1 (01:29:15):
So they don't even say what it's for, then it
was basically just an abortion topic. But and even even
if you talk about the cyclical monthly thing, that is
an offshoot of a woman's body wanting to produce life,
not a woman full disclosure, but I'm pretty sure that's
(01:29:39):
how it works, all right, real quick, Boston Paul. He
probably has some insight here. Yes, Boston Paul, what's up?
Speaker 3 (01:29:47):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (01:29:47):
My birthday's right after yours, and you, you know, you
hate on all the kids and everything because they didn't
call and wish you a happy birthday. I did wish
you a happy birthday, but you didn't acknowledge it.
Speaker 3 (01:30:00):
As I don't acknowledge it.
Speaker 6 (01:30:02):
Well, you get on the radio and you were full
of hate saying nobody wished me a happy birthday.
Speaker 3 (01:30:08):
Let me let me just get to the point here
because I gotta do weather here in a moment. Are
you gonna get together with girl buddies and throw tea
in the harbor?
Speaker 5 (01:30:14):
Again?
Speaker 3 (01:30:14):
What are you doing to celebrate?
Speaker 7 (01:30:17):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (01:30:17):
Yeah, well why not? Wake We got better stuff than that.
Speaker 3 (01:30:21):
The throwing a hot one, Well, you're not gonna throw.
You're not gonna throw the whiskey. I'm assuming have you
tried Have you tried it?
Speaker 6 (01:30:28):
I'm ready to crack it open. I just got it.
Speaker 8 (01:30:30):
It came in.
Speaker 6 (01:30:31):
That's another funny thing.
Speaker 3 (01:30:32):
It came in forty five in the morning. Dude.
Speaker 6 (01:30:36):
It came in the mail. You know it was delivered,
And you think you have to sign for a bottle
of booze. Right, it was just left on my doorstep.
Speaker 1 (01:30:44):
Oh I know, I'm I know where I'm porch pirrating
now Austin Paul's house. I be an iPad might be booze.
Speaker 3 (01:30:52):
All right, well you give us you let us know
if it's any good, Okay, all right, I will all
right that It just gave him some homework for tomorrow,
raised agic from the weather channel. Look at that whiskey
will just show up at your house?
Speaker 8 (01:31:03):
Bro?
Speaker 5 (01:31:05):
Why not? Right?
Speaker 2 (01:31:06):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (01:31:08):
It could be lost, could be worse, could be better.
Speaker 3 (01:31:11):
Are you wish?
Speaker 8 (01:31:12):
Do you like?
Speaker 3 (01:31:13):
What's your nature of choice?
Speaker 5 (01:31:14):
Miller lt?
Speaker 3 (01:31:16):
Okay, you're not really.
Speaker 4 (01:31:19):
I'll do an old fashion once in a while. Yeah,
there's so much because people come to the house and
they bring it and we don't drink it, and it's
just piled up and yeah, there's a lot so.
Speaker 5 (01:31:33):
Problems, right Robbed, No, No, I know, I know.
Speaker 3 (01:31:37):

Speaker 5 (01:31:40):

Speaker 2 (01:31:42):

Speaker 8 (01:31:42):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (01:31:43):
Well is it good drinking all your boots?
Speaker 6 (01:31:45):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (01:31:45):
You prefer outside or where where?
Speaker 4 (01:31:47):
I prefer outside. I think there's gonna be an opportunity eventually,
slowly through the weekend. Many of us have been waiting
for a nice warm up. Maybe it's the lakes or
even want to get into the pool. It's been a
little chilly for that. By next week, I think everybody's
going to be smiling, may not even smiling. This afternoon again,
dealing with storms coming in west to east from about
(01:32:08):
one or two o'clock for the triad and then on
off toward the east of the Triangle after that through
this evening, and those storms could pack some wind and hail,
maybe an isolated tornado with some downpours.
Speaker 5 (01:32:18):
Through this evening.
Speaker 4 (01:32:18):
We'll get close to eighty today either side of it,
depending on where you are, and then tomorrow just some
isolated showers thluttererstorms.
Speaker 5 (01:32:24):
As this front gets.
Speaker 4 (01:32:25):
Through us, it'll be a little breezy. It'll feel different too,
a little less humidity. Although we're still close to eighty degrees.
Small chance of an afternoon shower on Sunday, so each
day better and better sunshine. Other Wise near eighty and
then early next week this warm up really starts coming
in here well into the eighties, maybe ninety by Tuesday
and Wednesday for some spots.
Speaker 5 (01:32:44):
So hang in there.
Speaker 4 (01:32:45):
Today severe less chance to rain over the weekend, just
hit miss stuff and then warmer, drier as we get
into next week.
Speaker 1 (01:32:52):
Okay, all right, appreciate it. Having good weekend, and we'll
talk Monday. So see man, all right, and we'll come
back with Jeff Bellinger next on Jeff. What's happening here
on our Friday?
Speaker 2 (01:33:02):
Well, good morning, Casey, and happy Friday.
Speaker 11 (01:33:04):
Stock market futures were holding their own until about an
hour ago when President Trump took to social media. A
posting on the President's platform accuses China violating its trade
agreement with the US. Mister Trump said, so much for
being mister NICs guy, and it was so much for
the futures being barely changed. Right now, they're lower across
(01:33:24):
the board. Now, futures are down one hundred ten points.
Now they have come back a little bit from their
low because the government just released the monthly personal income
and consumer spending data. Incomes were up eight tens percent
in April, spending up two tens percent, and within the
report as an inflation gage preferred by the Federal Reserve,
(01:33:44):
it was up two and a half percent from April
of last year, and that was the smallest year over
year advance and four years. So some good news there
no change last month, and the purchasing power of the
nation's middle income families. Primerica's household budget for April match
the March reading, suggesting that average earned income rows just
(01:34:05):
enough to offset any increases in the cost of everyday necessities.
Hyundai is reportedly preparing to hike the prices on all
vehicles sold in the US. Sources say the South Korean
automaker is looking to cushion the impact of new tariffs,
and a one percent across the board increase could go
into effect as soon as next week. And if you're
a Disney or Hulu subscriber, Casey, you'll have some new
(01:34:28):
perks offers introduced as one offs last year being expanded.
Disney Plus subscribers will be able to enter contests. Prizes
will include Disney cruises and tickets to movie premiers. There
are also discounts from door Dash and other partners, and
a separate package of perks for Hulu subscribers will be
available starting Monday.
Speaker 2 (01:34:49):
Casey, all right, well, having.
Speaker 3 (01:34:50):
Your weekend, Jeff, we'll chat Monday.
Speaker 2 (01:34:53):
Okay, enjoy your weekend.
Speaker 5 (01:34:54):
Talking of Monday, Take care.
Speaker 3 (01:34:55):
All right there? You go, Jeff Bellander, Bloomberg News. And
because it wouldn't be a good Friday if we didn't
have one of these good old Florida Man story.
Speaker 7 (01:35:07):
Florida Man, Florida Man, just something in the wandery erors
hand that they should do all that crazy crap. It's
like the state is one be dumb ass trapped. Nowhere
else has the Florida Man. It is almost like as
the Weird Factor climbs and you.
Speaker 2 (01:35:24):
Find out it it happened in Florida every time. Florida Men,
Florida Man.
Speaker 7 (01:35:31):
If anyone can cheer me of you know, you can
just mind life, you crazy but of course, but it's
not as bad crap crazy as yours.
Speaker 3 (01:35:38):
Nowhere else are you gonna find him?
Speaker 2 (01:35:41):
They're so used to it they don't mind him. Hooray
for Florida Man.
Speaker 1 (01:35:47):
And for this episode, we go to Jacksonville, where police
say they're looking for a man who walked into a
Petlands where it's a pet store in on Beach Boulevard.
Speaker 3 (01:35:59):
I don't know why hold you where it is? Uh
and uh absconded with a new friend.
Speaker 1 (01:36:05):
According to police, they have video of the man going
into the Petland grabbing a ferret that was for sale
and stuffing it in his shorts. And he's wearing he's
wearing let's just say the the ferret was profiling in
the shorts. That's gotta be weird for the officer if
they catch him. By the way, he should be easy
(01:36:26):
to find because he's described in the report as having
quote a unique mustache, which is a wild understatement. Roster,
you got a chance to see this guy's picture, I said,
you know link I have on Okay, tell me if
that if that is a quote unique mustache, then we'll
tweet out a link for you as well. According to
(01:36:47):
the report, pet store employees said the man quote fondled
the ferret for quite some time. Set of euphemism.
Speaker 3 (01:36:56):
What are you doing in there? I'm fondling the ferret.
Speaker 2 (01:36:58):
Wait, so is that the ferret on his face?
Speaker 7 (01:37:01):
No?
Speaker 3 (01:37:01):
No, no, no, in his pants? Oh it was in
his pants. Oh yeah, dude, he would have that's full
that's full of fu manchuu almost right. That's a look, sir.
That's like having a face tattoo and wondering why you're
gonna get caught? Also, why are you fondling the ferret?
And also.
Speaker 1 (01:37:21):
What if that ferret gets angry that you just stuffed
it in your shorts? Like, do you have no self
preservation sir? Because does Russell tell you ferrets will kill you?
Speaker 2 (01:37:32):
This gentleman needs to speak to my mother specifically from
the nineteen eighties.
Speaker 1 (01:37:38):
Also, and he got the whole faerry you gotta Oh,
they already stink, so I guess that that's fine.
Speaker 8 (01:37:45):
