Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Get our little chit chat in coming up at eight
oh five with mister Pete Calender, who's having a hell
of a week. I'll let him explain all of it,
but basically he's he's gone full GHT on YouTube, So
not on YouTube or he's posting GHAT videos, but rather
they nuked his YouTube account that he was doing streaming
on so and I've just seen him post after post

(00:22):
after post talking about it. So I want to get
skinny from him and why the mayor of Charlotte, six
months into her new term, just quits what's going on there.
So yeah, we'll get a little spy report from Charlotte. However,

(00:43):
if you're mostly plugged into NBC News, you may only
be seeing this story because, for whatever reason, they have
written multiple versions of this because I think they're excited
about it. I think I think they're like, see Curtly down,
They're like, yeah, man, this is good stuff. I wish
you had a bit more. So you all remember Kyle Rittenhouse, Yes,

(01:07):
that Kyle Rittenhouse from Kenosha, well not from Kenosha but
in Kenosha, but he had been from Kenosha. He got
bit by a brown recluse and had to be hospitalized.
So I don't know for what period of time because
he's posting update of the the whole thing himself on

(01:28):
social media. So but you know, if you get bit
by a brown recluse, that could be very dangerous. So AnyWho,
So yeah, they they I just saw them and I'm like,
is this a different story? And then I went there
and you because they have like the keywords that they
put into the story, I clicked it. I could see
like three different They're very invested in this, and I

(01:49):
don't think it's because they're necessarily concerned with his health.
How do I know? Because I could pick up clues.
I could pick up clues in the way that you're
writing the story. Oh, Kyle Rittenhouse, who gained fame for
opening fire at a twenty twenty civil rights rally in Wisconsin,

(02:13):
is ross. I don't know, maybe it's my memory back what.

Speaker 2 (02:18):
What?

Speaker 1 (02:19):
Okay?

Speaker 3 (02:19):
Also, he's just had a civil rights rally and opening.

Speaker 1 (02:22):
Fires mercher with the king man anything there, No just
civil rights rally, that's it gain fame.

Speaker 3 (02:31):
For He sounds horribly racist. I don't know about this
written House guy, but I didn't sound like a good
guy to meet.

Speaker 1 (02:39):
From No, that sounds pretty horrible. You you're rooting for
the Spider, you know, yeah at that point. So yeah,
I'm gonna go ahead, and I'm going to assume. I'm
going to assume people's motives, which you're not supposed to do.
But you have to win this business. You have to
what evaluating piece of journalism in there. So I'm going

(03:01):
to assume you're you're you're writing these stories because you're
just really sad that the Spider didn't get them. Based
on the fact that you refer to the city of
Kenosha on fire everything ross You remember how everything was
on fire because we had all the thermal images that
they were following, The had cameras, all sorts of stuff. Everything,

(03:22):
you go from one block to the next, fire fire.
The reason that they were there at that that car
lot was because people kept lighting the cars. Are you
ready for this? Are you sitting down? Are you holding
on to something on fire? Yeah?

Speaker 3 (03:38):
This is the first I'm hearing about this guy and
this incident. So I just did some research. It turns
out there was a big trial. Oh really, yeah, this
guy was put on trial. Yeah yeah, And it turns
out there's some details missing that this headline doesn't even
seem to allude to or understand or Yeah.

Speaker 1 (03:59):
Plus, the people murdered probably all really good people. Right.

Speaker 3 (04:03):
Are you sitting down as well?

Speaker 1 (04:04):
I am seated? Yes, you should go prone and bungee
courting yourself down, hold on, bungee. All right, let me
get the okay, let me get the come along. Okay,
all right, We're good to go. What do you got?

Speaker 3 (04:13):
Yeah, I know there were pedophiles.

Speaker 1 (04:15):
Oh yeah, just one of them.

Speaker 3 (04:16):
No, a bunch of pedophiles.

Speaker 1 (04:19):
Oh my god. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (04:20):
They encircled the dude and tried to kill him after
he was standing in front of his place of employment
trying to give medical aid while the city was on fire.

Speaker 1 (04:27):
Yeah, but it was like nobody was also a spousal abuser,
were they?

Speaker 3 (04:31):
Oh yeah they were.

Speaker 1 (04:32):
Oh I left.

Speaker 3 (04:33):
Sorry, there's so much information here that I'm just now reading.

Speaker 1 (04:36):
Yeah, from the Civil rights vally. Yeah. Yeah, so just garbage,
just garbage journalism. Man.

Speaker 3 (04:42):
How it turns out this one guy pointed a gun
in his head?

Speaker 1 (04:45):
What Yeah, all right, but nobody tried to hit him
with a large blunt object in the shape of like
a skateboard or anything, did they?

Speaker 3 (04:53):
So you have heard of this guy. I know what
you're familiar is just a guess because I'm not. It's
the first time I'm reading any of this.

Speaker 1 (05:00):
Okay, yeah, all right, so yes, excuse me if I
don't trust your your motivation for this illustrious coverage. They
actually have helicopter footage from above the thermal vision.

Speaker 3 (05:12):
Where they're chasing him. They're chasing the guy, right, and
then they then they get him down and they encircle
them to.

Speaker 1 (05:19):
Give him a present or something.

Speaker 3 (05:21):
Apparently one of them is on tape saying they're going
to kill him or something with kindness. Yeah, no, no,
not with no opposite of kindness.

Speaker 1 (05:31):
You kill people with kindness.

Speaker 3 (05:33):
Once again, this is the first I'm hearing about any
of this.

Speaker 1 (05:36):
Oh ye, poor Ross, look at that. The show's just start.
Now he's gonna be down a rabbit hole. This is
a lot. We should put your out of office notifications. Yeah,
be very busy.

Speaker 3 (05:44):
This is a lot to take in at six twelve
on a Friday.

Speaker 1 (05:47):
I mean, I know, joke, man, an absolute joke. But
the way that they covered do you see the coverage
of the Disney cruise raid or Ross? Did you see
any of that? It was kind of on the periphery yesterday.

Speaker 3 (06:00):
You know I said they stored to market. Yeah, okay,
all right.

Speaker 1 (06:03):
So when they when they started initially covering it, they're
just like, look at these evil ice people. They boarded
this ship and it ported in San Diego right right
in the middle of the sewage, I guess. And and
so now these families that are on this Disney cruise
they have to watch, you know, they have to watch
the people that their kids have been interacting with, getting

(06:25):
you know, drug in handcuffs. Now you get explain this
to the kids, and what a bunch of monsters. Why
would they do immigration and form And that's literally how
they were reported. They report all these they did it
because they were in the country illegally, which didn't sit
right with me, because cruise ships are pretty good about
having all their documentation. It's because it's such a way.

(06:45):
It's one of the ways that they're able to exploit
profits the most, right because then they they if you
go on a cruise ship, half the people are from
like Thailand and the Philippines and all over. And because
of the international or registered in another country nature of
most of these ships, they don't have to pay them
US minimum wage, So that's very advantageous. So you can

(07:07):
bet that they're going to have their paperwork in a
row and lo and behold. There was a small part
of the story that they left out, just a little one,
just you know, just a wee little deats as they
left this part out. Yeah, this is the first time

(07:28):
reading about this as well. Families hoping to make memories.
What's that? Yeah, yeah, famiori is hoping to make memories
on a cruise ship. Were unknowingly surrounded by alleged child predators,
that's right. And they weren't there arresting them on some
sort of yeah we think your paperwork wasn't done right
and we're just here to be big meanies. No, no, no,

(07:50):
It was part of an investigation that required I think
what twenty eight arrests. Twenty eight twenty eight suspects, all
charged with possession, distribution, and receipt of child pornography. These
guys were on the cruise ship were running, not just

(08:12):
they had it to themselves. They were basically funneling this
stuff and smuggling this stuff, some of it in hard
print on the cruise ship. That's a problem, and I
would argue that that is far different than always poor parents.
But the kids had to watch the evil immigration police. No, no, no, no,

(08:33):
those are people. Those are people who want to take
pictures of your kids. They want to get their kids
alone somewhere, or at the very least would love if
somebody else did so they can gander at it. So
it was. It was a badder day, yesday for the
old media doing what the media does. And those are
just two examples. Six fifteen. Hang on, there's video of

(08:55):
the arrests there in the Port of Sandago, and there's
one part. I didn't pull it. I probably should have,
but it doesn't matter. I can tell you what happened.
So they're making these arrests, right, you got twenty eight people.
There's maybe a dozen out in front of this woman,
and she's one of the people who's like, I doesn't
like ice, and she thinks that's what's going on here whatever,

(09:18):
and she's just she decides she's gonna be a one
woman protest. Why why you just hear screaming and I
was so I so wanted one of this the officers
doing the arrest to just turn to her and be like,
because they're raping children. Karen because they're raping children. But
we did not get that satisfaction. And in the past

(09:38):
when we've seen stuff like that, because Ross remembered some
audio I'm gonna play for you, it doesn't even register
or they don't care. So I think maybe that's why
they're not explaining. But it was very much this vibe
right here, we're here to.

Speaker 2 (09:56):
Arrest a child's sex offender, and you guys out here honky.

Speaker 1 (10:02):
Oh, they're now what pass.

Speaker 2 (10:06):
You right there is honky and and keeping our investigations. Well,
we're trying to arrest a child sex offender. That's who
you guys are protecting.

Speaker 1 (10:16):
Can you imagine, because at first they're like they kind
of argue and protect. Wouldn't you just in your own
conscious at that moment ago, No.

Speaker 3 (10:26):
You'd have to be Homer Simpson going into the bushes.

Speaker 1 (10:30):
Yes, yeah, you're all right, you just go my bad
or whatever. I don't know, because it didn't even they
didn't pause to register.

Speaker 3 (10:37):
I try to, you know, pick up you know, pattern recognition,
and I'm seeing there's there seems to be a pedophile
issue going on here where they keep finding lots of
pedophiles at these like rallies and stuff and protests and
civil rights.

Speaker 1 (10:51):
Yeah you mean civil rights.

Speaker 3 (10:52):
I don't know, it's something I'm just picking up here. Okay,
have you have you noticed that?

Speaker 1 (10:57):
I've also noticed it's kind of around Disney too, which
I guess makes sense in the sense that that's a
good place to have to if you're want to hunt kids. Yeah, yeah,
we might have a pedophile problem. But then you have
useless idiots like the woman in that audio we just played,
and then the woman who was screaming why why in
San Diego? Or were just willing to get themselves all

(11:21):
involved in this? I mean, holy crap. You remember this
side story from the White House Correspondence dinner some woman
tried to essentially hijack an assassination to make it about herself.
Was that it ended up getting herself arrested because she's
outside like God, don't care, I'm gonna rush your squad

(11:42):
car or whatever the heck she was doing.

Speaker 3 (11:47):
Absolute Now, there was another story I remember before even
the audio we just played, where there was a guy,
you know, there was somebody ice was taken into custody
that was in the side of the road in a highway,
and they had recorded and been like, look, at this
poor guy being arrested, crying looking up to this guy
crying for his mama or whatever being arrested by ice.
And it was the same thing. He was a child
molester that was in DC.

Speaker 1 (12:09):
That was in DC right next to the National Mall.
Because they try to make an issue out of that.
Yeah he was in like a getting him out of
a blue car's ball and whatnot. Yeah, yeah, they did.
They did take to make an issue with that, even
after it was pointed out that that's what it was about.
This nuts man. All right, uh I promise you stupid,

(12:31):
let me get to it.

Speaker 4 (12:32):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (12:32):
I wish AOC would do more interviews because it's it's
it's so lazy. I'll get a segment out of her
every time because you just have to let her talk,
just let her say stuff, let her, let her expound upon.
I don't know.

Speaker 5 (12:48):
Economics show there was a certain level of wealth and
accumulation that is unearned. Right, how so you can't earn
a billion dollar? Really, you just can't earn that, That's
exactly correct.

Speaker 1 (13:05):
You can.

Speaker 5 (13:06):
You can get market power, you can break rules, you
can do all sorts of things. You can abuse labor laws,
you can pay people less than what they're worth.

Speaker 1 (13:18):
But you can't earn that, right, and so you.

Speaker 5 (13:22):
Have to create a myth that since you didn't earn that,
you have to create a myth of earning it.

Speaker 1 (13:31):
What does that even mean? What do you mean you're
not able to earn a billion dollars? You know, it's
been done before, and if we're and by the way,
if we're if we're adjusting for inflation, it's been done
a lot before, especially in the United States. Oh well,
they exploited labor, did they? Do you know for a

(13:53):
fact that anyone who's a billionaire exploited labor. No, you don't,
not at all. There are.

Speaker 5 (14:02):
There are very few like real archetypes of in my opinion,
truly what America is all about. I think about the
civil rights and voting rights movement and how black Americans
really created democracy in this country.

Speaker 1 (14:22):
That's exactly right, How.

Speaker 5 (14:24):
They literally made something from nothing, It is just beyond me.
I think about how like Native people have survived and
preserved and treasured.

Speaker 1 (14:46):
By the way the way she speaks to you can
hear she's just put cobblin words together in her head,
and she has this slow cadence. She does because I
don't think her brain is fast enough to do it
the normal their culture.

Speaker 5 (15:01):
I think about, and I think many of us think
about immigrants, which if you aren't from one of those
first two populations, you are certainly from largely the third.

Speaker 1 (15:11):
And so many of us like have our story.

Speaker 5 (15:16):
Of our parents, our grandparents are great great grandparents, and
so on and so forth, and who like come and
makes something from nothing. And I think that's a big
part of also the most inspiring elements of what America
is all about.

Speaker 1 (15:36):
One of these leeches on society that's running one of
these fake you know, childcare centers, leering center and you're
still running it after watching what's you know, what's happening
up in up in Minneapolis even though one of the

(15:59):
people accused stealing eleven million dollars yesterday you got a yes,
I did a plea bargain with Keith Ellison up there.
He's gonna get probation. So that's about how that's going.
But like after watching everybody make fun of that one place,
the Quality Leering Center, if you yourself are running the
same scam, you have multiple fake schools, don't you check

(16:21):
to make sure your spelling is correct for when inevitably
they get to you, so you don't look as stupid.
Well case in point down in right that they they're suspecting.
There's pockets of this around Dallas Fort Worth too, And
one of the people down there is this woman by

(16:42):
the name of doctor Amina Knight, and she's you know,
she's kind of a she's a leader down there. She's
in the news a lot, and it's people are shining
light on the fact that she runs like the home
health facilities, these childcare centers, and all of it looks
super sketch. The name of her two schools are the

(17:03):
Excellence Early Leering Center, and not to be outdone by
having just one misspelling, she also runs an entity called
Excellence Early Leaning Center. And people are just figuring this out. Yeah, man,
like everybody should double check the spelling on stuff. I

(17:24):
don't know why, you just won't look as stupid when
they come handcuff you. But it also it also shows
you what a joke call this is, man. I mean,
they're setting up these fake things so fast they can't
even be bothered to do a little fact check on there.
But I digress. Where is this.

Speaker 4 (17:50):
All?

Speaker 6 (17:50):
Right?

Speaker 1 (17:50):
Here? We go there is some crazy stats here.

Speaker 4 (17:55):
Now.

Speaker 1 (17:56):
Now, don't get me wrong. Obviously, you know recidivism. Recidivism
is it's a thing depending on what the charges are,
the types of crimes, it's it's much more common, especially
when you get in like the kids stuff, like you know,
child molester stuff. I feel that they're almost incurable. But
that doesn't stop you know, democrats from going like, hey,

(18:18):
you know what we should do. We should let a
bunch of people out of out of jail early for
you know, social justice. He reasons, that's what we should do,
and that's what you got. Thirty five hundred convicts were
released as part of a little known settlement between Cooper's
administration and the civil rights groups. Oh and by the way,
let me explain how these happened. Because they're all in

(18:38):
on it together. They're all in on it together. Everyone
who is suing Cooper's administration for this thing are all
leftist activists. And so what they do is they go,
all right, I'm going to assue you. Cooper's people don't
really fight back that hard. Then there's a judge, Sam,
now you got to do this thing that the moon

(18:59):
back group once, and Cooper gets to go out and
go my hands are tied. There's nothing I can do.
This happens a lot, a lot of a lot of
environmental protection stuff where you see this too, where the
leftist politician knows he can't really do something, so wink
wink not not go ahead and ensue us, and then
we'll be forced to our hands are tied, and then

(19:20):
I don't take a political hit for it, and you
still get what you want. Oh, you can sniff this
stuff out. Usually of the thirty five hundred convicts who
are released as part of the settlement, a review by
the New York This from the New York Post. By
the way, too, a review by the New York Post

(19:41):
found that six hundred of those thirty five hundred later
committed serious felonies like sex offenses, various violent crimes. Eighteen
of them have been charged with murder. I hear, that's
bet Ross's murder bad. Would you look at Ross? Gonna
see him murders bad? Sure? Let me check it out

(20:02):
yet is oh it is okay? So there's looks like
one of the worst crimes he could do. Actually, is
it okay? Yeah?

Speaker 4 (20:10):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (20:11):
So now there was eighteen more murders based on the
on this release here and again, Roy Cooper and his
campaign run around and they go, well, look it was
a lossit our hands were tired. You have to understand
the game. And they can claim, well, we didn't let
the killer out that killed Arena Zerutzka. Now, but you
would have had they not gotten to it, because he
was on your initial list. You literally were going to

(20:33):
It just happened earlier, so he didn't. It didn't have to.
And then you know, we play all these stupid games.
All in all, North Carolina's Sentencing and Policy Advisory Commission
found in a twenty twenty four report that the recidivism
rate of the thirty five hundred released as part of
the settlement was forty eight percent higher than the rate
for those who were just traditionally released right, people who

(20:57):
had served their time were released out of the system,
so they have a much higher recidivism rate. And what
I find is very rich too, is every time someone
who was one of those who received the January sixth
pardons commits a crime, a ABC does a whole ass
story over it. And the recidivism rate there is in
the single digits. That's the other crazy thing. It's single

(21:21):
digits here it's half So I'm glad to see somebody's
doing a story about this. Let's see here, here's just
a few examples. Tyrell Brace, who was arrested in charge
with the murder of Alante Thompson back in January of

(21:42):
twenty twenty two, after being set free in July of
twenty twenty one following multiple jail stints of the preceding
decade decade for grand larcenies, breaking and entering, assault, strangulation
of a female with an unborn child. So that's fun.

(22:02):
Race was arrested following a seven month investigation, pled guilty
of voluntary manslaughter one year later. He had been expected
to be released before the fatal shooting of Thompson. We
got out even earlier due to the Cooper Settlement. Isn't
that nice? And now somebody's dead. Oh, and that somebody
also had a six year old daughter. Wasn't that fun?

(22:26):
A stagger in Eighteen of the prisoners released had been
charged with murder in the four years since the civil
rights settlement. How you get the gist of this? And again,
I'm just I'm glad somebody's carrying it at the national level,
and this stuff should matter and for whatever reason, like
you can't even get Cooper to comment on this stuff,

(22:47):
doesn't want to touch it, just wants to keep posting
the aw shock stuff. I'm gonna make everything cheaper, which,
by the way, it's this is the national strategy of
Democrats because it just worked with Spanberger, even though it
clearly was lies. So there's that. But this is the
message into the midterms that Democrats are going with. I mean, okay,

(23:08):
I guess it makes sense enough if you don't have
to actually do it. You just want to tell people
that that's fine, but people are buying it less than less.
Did you see the differential for the last ten years
Ross this number and they call it the U haul
swap number. So for the last ten years, basically it's

(23:30):
people who move from blue states to red states or
red states to blue states. And let's just say that
the it's a it's a pretty significant number. How much
money ross do you think has transferred between blue states
and red states over the last ten years? And in

(23:53):
which direction? If you had to guess, I'll give you
a hint. The money went to the red states, right,
people leave blue states? How much money left? That's what
we're trying to guess tomate how many dollars?

Speaker 3 (24:05):
Two trillion?

Speaker 1 (24:05):
Bob? Did you see it you? Yeah? Yeah, I saw
the star.

Speaker 3 (24:11):
Yeah, okay, alright, did I win the car?

Speaker 1 (24:14):
Yeah? Yeah, totally is Yeah, as promised by uh Mondamie
or something, it'll be it'll get right to you. Yeah,
two trillion dollars. It's actually slightly just to smidge more
than that. Two trillion, not an insignificant amount of money,
and you chased it away.

Speaker 3 (24:34):
I was so excited, really, I was so excited to
spit out that number.

Speaker 1 (24:37):
Oh yeah, it's just sitting on that bad boy. It's
an astonishing number when you consider that's not like our
annual budget.

Speaker 3 (24:47):
So yeah, and that's what though. They're trying to pass
these laws so like people can't leave, or like penalties
for leaving.

Speaker 1 (24:52):
Yeah, if you leave, we go back and retroactively take
all your stuff. Really, can you? That's that's fun? Maybe
ask maybe ask yourself why people are leaving.

Speaker 3 (25:04):
It's another one of these economic issues or problems where
when you step back and look at it, you can
see what's gonna happen, but they're just completely blinded by it.

Speaker 1 (25:11):
Right.

Speaker 3 (25:11):
It's like when you raise the minimum wage you know
what's gonna happen.

Speaker 1 (25:14):
It won't happen. But the thing I kind of want
to happen so much right now is that Spencer Pratt
dude wins the LA Marry.

Speaker 3 (25:23):
I cannot believe that I'm in the I would go
to LA and vote for Spencer Pratt crowd because because
of what Spencer Pratt was back in the day. He
was like the villain, he was the he's a villain.
He was the d bag of every joke that was
his thing. He was the d bag.

Speaker 1 (25:38):
And now he's on that stage and he's the only
one making sense and he's just running circles around all
of them. It's just it's just problem. It's just he's
in LA. They got a jungle primary, but holy hell,
I don't know. Maybe maybe maybe there's enough LA or
what it is that they call themselves. Yeah, it doesn't

(26:02):
matter anyway, people from LA. Maybe there's enough that just
will spite vote because they're like this is this was
just two over the time. I don't know.

Speaker 3 (26:10):
I saw a headline yesterday where they were saying the
post debate, the Karen Baths approval numbers went up, like yes,
people were like yeah, we really loved her performance of
the debate, and we're gonna vote for her. So I
don't know how truthful those numbers are, but that was
definitely a thing yesterday.

Speaker 1 (26:25):
Yep. Yeah, yeah. I don't know that I buy any
of that, but I don't. Who knows, man, who knows?
But it is there's old breck. There's an old joke
I would say, why is California or why is Los Angeles?
Like a breakfast cereal? You heard this one? No, because
once you get rid of all the fruits and nuts,

(26:47):
all you have left is flakes. And it's pretty accurate.
It's not a very good joke, but it's also but
it's pretty accurate. Every like third person is weird? Great
like weird? Does that make sense? Eccentric? I guess maybe
is what it would be. And it's just kind of
an attitude out there in LA. It was always strange
to me. I'll not say there's not good people out there,

(27:08):
but like, like the real, real hard left weirdos that
you have out there, I can't even imagine in this
day and age where it's you know, you think you
can run around and do anything you want. All right,
let me do this six forty seven phone number eight
eight eight nine three four seven eight seven four gets

(27:29):
you on the show. We'll take a break, be right
back Acoday Radio program. All right, So I was just
sharing this crazy thing I saw yesterday with Ross and
then we'll tweet out a link to it. So this
is Look, this is this bit people doing business. You
see a need try to fill it to Yah Taylor's

(27:50):
oldest time here under a capitalist society. So one of
the things you gotta know is Texas is he has
a rapidly expanding pop relation of individuals with who are
who are Hindu? Right Dallas and Houston, but Dallas probably
more so. But anyway, I'm not well. I am one

(28:13):
hundred percent not up on tradition within the Hindu community,
so I was not aware of this. I am, however,
somebody who does have some background with cattle. So there's that.
And you know, as you guys know within the you know,
within the Hindu thing like the cows are sacred, right,
so sacred in fact, that one of the things that

(28:36):
you can do is when you move into a new house,
there is a there is a ceremony to bless it
where you bring the cow all up in your house,
let it go potty, I guess in the house, and
somebody's figured out that they can literally have a business
just renting cows to people doing house blessing ceremonies. I know, man,

(29:00):
I can't get over that one picture. Right, you had
a chance to scroll down. Look at that giant cow
pie there in right in the middle of what is
I guess feasibly going to be the dining room off
the kitchen. It's an open concept this house, and it's
not cheap, by the way.

Speaker 4 (29:16):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (29:18):
Texas goshala my pronouncing this correctly. A Hindu service will
now bring a cow to your home or temple. It
only costs two thousand, one hundred dollars and that gets
you one hour where we bring cows to your home,
business work places for blessing of cows.

Speaker 3 (29:38):
All right, it looks like a little baby cow.

Speaker 1 (29:39):
Right Uh yeah, yeah, those are probably probably eurelings right there,
which is good. I mean, you don't want you don't
want a Brahma bull running around your house. So here's
here's what happens. For twenty one dollars. Services include cow
blessings and photo opportunities optional professional photography supervise visit with

(30:05):
our experienced team and it has like a bunch of
preparation guidelines. Yeah. I don't even understand what they're asking here,
but yeah, so there you go. Do you want to

(30:25):
I want to get your house, Old blett Ross. Which
animal did you have come in to defecate around your
house when you guys bought your house?

Speaker 3 (30:32):
Bigfoot?

Speaker 1 (30:33):
Oh wow, that is a unique blessing right there. So
all right, learn something to do every day. Oh the
rituals called called galpoosia g au p u ja.

Speaker 3 (30:49):
It turns out wasn't even Bigfoot. It was just a
dude in the suit. Hey man, I felt stupid afterwards.

Speaker 1 (30:55):
You know what, You try to do your due diligence there,
So gotta do your due dilligence. So is your house
blessed then? Or not blessed?

Speaker 3 (31:02):
I hope?

Speaker 1 (31:03):
So I don't know if that, I don't know how
that counts. All right, six, well'll tweet it out.

Speaker 2 (31:08):
You go.

Speaker 1 (31:08):
See. The pictures are wild, man, pictures are wild. Everybody's
uh and everybody looks super excited. These cows are in
there crapping on their kitchen floor, so uh, I don't
I don't get it. Also, the cost two thousand. That
seemed like a lot of money. If you ever came

(31:30):
to me, you're like, man, I want to rent a
cow well one, I don't know if I'm going to
ask you what you wanted for, probably be inclined to
say no. But like two, you know to load transport one? However,
you know fifteen miles, Wait an hour and come back
two thousand dollars for that. Dude, you're getting paid. Man,
we're in the wrong business. Ross. You want to open

(31:52):
a ceremonial cow crapping operation, get that thing fired up,
Go fitty fitty on that, get paid, retire early, all
that good stuff. All right, coming up, We were gonna
be chatting at eight o five with mister Pete Calender
because that's what we do on Fridays. And between the

(32:12):
Mayor of Charlotte resigning and uh Pete getting his YouTube
channel literally just nuked from space.

Speaker 3 (32:22):
I feel so bad. But when I reported his channel
it was a joke.

Speaker 1 (32:26):
Female World Cup soccer hopeful accused of raping fourteen year
old boy with braces. Well, now, hang on, hang on here,
I'm reading that headline and like it probably could have
been written better. So do you mean that the fourteen

(32:47):
year old boy had like tiny tim Forrest Gump braces
or did he have mouth braces? Or do you mean
that the person who's accused of doing this attempted to
you was either of the aforementioned braces as the instrument
to commit. Yeah, you should, you should tighten this headline up.
But just you know, going back to what we were

(33:09):
just talking about, we got a we got a real
problem man, people that you know doing stuff to kids,
the Disney stuff over there where he just had that arrest.
The seemingly endless collection of stories and I'm kind of
putting it on the female teachers, but only because it's
so shocking how many female teachers end up in these stories. Nowadays,

(33:33):
everyone's thinking they can do whatever the hell, whatever the
hell they wont in this case, her how old was she?
She was twenty and the boy was allegedly fourteen. Yeah,
that's gonna be a little bit of a problem. By
the way, this is in Utah too, and we've had
a couple high profile stories out of Utah with some

(33:54):
of the teachers. So I don't know what the heck's
going on, man, but we just see them more and more,
all Right, eight eight eight nine three four seven eight
seven four. So Ross is dubbing something in I just
happened to see this morning. Oh, this is probably gonna

(34:15):
irritate some people. I think I'm probably over women pastors.
Is that. I know that sounds horrible to say, but
it's just like, I don't know why it is. I
see these videos and it's you know, usually it's a
very very woke scenario, because right only certain religions even

(34:37):
allow that. That being said, it almost always is. Then
I go to watch this person preaching and I'm like,
what are you talking about? Case in point, they have
this Reverend Anna Flowers and she's head of the United
Church of Oh well, actually, it's be a fun little

(34:58):
guessing game here, Ross. What state do you think this
lunatic may hail from? And just give you a hint,
it's a state of horrible, horrible people who probably none
of which are going to heaven.

Speaker 3 (35:14):
All right, I was going to say, because I see
the name of the town, but I've never heard of
the town before. It sounds like a town that would
be in like Wisconsin.

Speaker 1 (35:22):
No, it sounds like that, But no, we're gonna no, no, no, no,
an even more horrible state full of sinners, Massachusetts and cheats. Yes,
you'll tell it, Walpole, mass Walpole. I don't know how
to say it. I just want you to listen to this.
Imagine walking into your favorite Christian church, sitting down and
being treated to this.

Speaker 6 (35:43):
I am the Way and the Truth and the Life.
And here's the kicker. No one comes to the Father.

Speaker 1 (35:51):
Except through me.

Speaker 6 (35:53):
Now, for centuries, for millennia, Christians have used those words
as a proof text to be do kind all kinds
of awful things in the world. What punished people for
not being Christian or not being their version of Christian?
To punish or condemn people for all kinds of beautiful

(36:14):
diversity that we see in the world.

Speaker 1 (36:16):
Not to luve, not to bless the world.

Speaker 6 (36:17):
But to condemn it. All kinds of awful things have
come from those little words.

Speaker 1 (36:24):
Now, okay, and I'm gonna pause here. So what she's
setting you up for, she's setting she's setting up this argument,
this absolutely insane argument that Jesus didn't literally mean He's
the only way to God. And here and here's the thing. Yes,
have there been warring factions within Christianity? Right? Yeah, clearly

(36:47):
you saw with the Catholic Church and Protestant Church and
all like all of these things. Going back that being said,
what they do kind of have in common is the
Jesus component you tend to, you tend to that is
part of most of the major Christian religions, and very
specifically the thing she said at the beginning, you're reading,

(37:09):
you're reading the word of Jesus, right, that's so, who
are you to quibble with it? All right, continue to enlighten.

Speaker 6 (37:19):
Here's the thing before we even dive in, we have
to get one thing straight. Jesus did not come into
this world to preach and to teach a my way
or the highway kind of religion.

Speaker 3 (37:32):
In a second, I would walk out out two seconds
this woman starts speaking, I would be out. This is
what the devil would say, this is demonic.

Speaker 1 (37:45):
It's so, it's like, what is even the purpose of
attempting to untether this fundamental Well, you're gonna find out.
You're going to find out. Hold on, because it gets
worse better, I guess whatever you want to describe it.

Speaker 6 (37:56):
The other one of the Gospels, people come to Jesus
and they ask him, point blank, teacher, what must I
do to inherit eternal life. And in the Gospel of Mark,
Jesus's answer is this, follow the ten commandments, love God,
be an ethical person, do the right thing. And where

(38:20):
the person who's asking how do I inherit internal life
follows up and says, well, who is my neighbor? And
he says, the person who is on the way to
eternal life, the person who has got it, who loves
God and loves their neighbor. It can even be a Samaritan,
somebody who is not of our religion, not of our tribe,
not of our ethnicity, and worships God in a completely

(38:43):
different way. That person can inherit eternal life.

Speaker 4 (38:48):
Right.

Speaker 3 (38:49):
Yeah, but they have to do stuff, yeah, if they
follow him, right, that's why you would preach to them,
so you could convert them. I'm telling you it's demonic.

Speaker 1 (39:01):
No, man, you just you just us. You're just like rules, man,
You just too many rules. Man. Yeah. No, they're talking
about they're talking about redemption. And you're right.

Speaker 3 (39:11):
You know, there are definitely differences between the denominations, which
I've really recently learned because I had no idea. You know,
I grew up sort of a Catholic, but we didn't
go to the the church that was across the street
because it had some issues. There were some issues there.
My mom was like, hey, I'm almost like, hey, we're
not going to church anymore. We're gonna practice at home.
And it later on I became an atheist, right, and
then I made a complete one eighty and I've read
the Bible, and I'm now, you know, not that right

(39:33):
and now now and I understand there are differences, and
I would say now I'm more or less on the
Protestant side, right, even though I grew up Catholic. But
even though there's differences, there's some main, main, main things
that stay the same. And one of them is what
not what she is saying. It's the opposite of what
she is saying.

Speaker 1 (39:50):
Yeah, yeah, a little bit, hold on, she's not done saying,
oh great, So again.

Speaker 6 (39:56):
To make a claim that Jesus in the Gospel of
John is now preaching and teaching this radically different message
that you have to follow God in a certain way.
You have to say the Jesus prayer just like this.
You have to be part of our tribe, or you
have to be part of our faith, or you have
to claim Jesus as your Lord and savior, or you
won't get into the Kingdom of heaven. Makes no sense.

(40:18):
Look at it in the light of this consistent character
of Jesus. Jump into my hands. Jesus is saying, look
into my eyes, I am the way into this pool.
And we as Christians get to jump, get to leap,
not because it is an exclusive experience, but because it's authentic,

(40:42):
because it is true alongside other truths in the world.
And so this is my heart and my hope for
you that encounter this scripture. And maybe you'll encounter some
Christians who think very differently about it. You'll be able
to explain to them and help them understand that anytime

(41:06):
you're talking about the Gospel of John, and especially anytime
you're talking about a conversation with Thomas Jesus is not
to be taken literally but metaphysically.

Speaker 1 (41:18):
Good. Well yeah, and then you know, share yourself with crystals.

Speaker 3 (41:22):
And apparently like she's read it right. I was going
to say, there's a book she should read that explains
why she should not be in the position that she
is in right out lies that, but she's read it,
but she's she hasn't, So she's read the material, but
she's not listening to it.

Speaker 1 (41:38):
Correct Yes, yeah, yeah, she'd probably use an AI. I
don't know, I'm everything, Susan.

Speaker 3 (41:45):
It's this thing where she's I'm following my own truth,
you know what I mean, this is my truth.

Speaker 1 (41:51):
But but what what brings that other than you know,
you can see there she's surrounded by their useful idiots
write A bunch of white, woke liberal women right who
were all sitting there? Is it is like is there
some sun, like some deep guilt where she recognizes she
probably shouldn't have this job, and so it requires her
to kind of cut around the other edges really to

(42:14):
justify it. I don't know, I've never heard that argument.
I've never heard the complete removal of the concept of
you know, dyed for your sins and you you know,
you then recognize that, and then you know you also look,
you also have to you know, it's how you carry
yourself as that. There's a lot of elements here, but
Jesus is always one of the elements. As we keep

(42:35):
reiterating this, I've never heard it go oh well, you know, really,
you could be a totally you could be a totally
different religion. She's took going to get in. That'd be fine,
do whatever you want. So, yeah, what were you tweet that?
Absolute lunatic? If you if you wish to share it, okay,
all right, wonderful seven seventeen hang out. We were just
exploring alternative pathways into heaven. Now that this this night

(43:00):
Preacher ladies explain that you don't really have to do
any of the stuff. It's fine, pretty sure. Ross If
you do the maze from the Maze Runner, you get in.
I don't know if you knew that.

Speaker 3 (43:10):
So that's an alter They got a giant robotic like
mechanical spiders in there.

Speaker 1 (43:14):
A spoiler alert. Okay, yeah, people got to walk their
own journey man, so you can do that. I think
if you find Waldo in all the advanced Waldo puzzles,
you're also in what's that impossible? You gotta want it?
And then, of course, as we all know that, if
you are a diehard fan of a NFL franchise that

(43:36):
has never won a Super Bowl, automatically in because you've
suffered enough. Yes, agree, Yeah, so so those are those
are the only ones that I know of off the
top of my head that I just made up. So
we'll see the the NFL thing should be true, though
I feel like I feel like that should be one
of the loopholes. Already, man over to this. This is

(43:59):
the most Australian story ever. All Right, you guys are
all familiar with the Iron Man things right where you
gotta run and you gotta swim and I don't know
whatever else you do these crazy, crazy distances. So they
had they have one of these down in Australia over

(44:19):
the weekend, I guess. And when it came to the
swimming portion, it was held on a lake called Lake Argyle.
Here's the problem. The things full of crocodiles and they
started biting all the contestants, in fact, well not all
of them. Four people received significant freshwater crocodile bites on

(44:40):
this Lake Argyle. Dude, I love the one guy and
including by the way, had to be life flighted to
Perth for this for to be treated. That's four people
out of four hundred. But that's enough to get a
ruckus going. The one guy's quoted here. They asked what
did you do when you noticed what was happening? He said, quote,
I swam faster, which is very motivating, right ross, Do

(45:06):
you think you're gonna probably clock your best swim time
if giant crocodiles are chasing you.

Speaker 3 (45:11):
It's either gonna be the best of the worst.

Speaker 1 (45:13):
Yeah, well, I gotta go in one of the one
of two ways. Let's see here. Yeah, yeah, okay, okay.
So one of the guys you got bit was not
a contestant. He was I guess he was a monitor.
He was on a boat, but he jumped into help.
Well that's that's very nice of you. And by the way,

(45:34):
this was only the front part of it. So this
happened to the first swimmers that got in there, and
according to reports, it then failed to deter the hundreds
of other swimmers who did know what was going on. Man,
you must really want it. Lake Argyle is home to
about thirty five thousand freshwater crocodiles, which tend to be

(45:58):
less aggressive than their saltwater care outer parts, which is
why organizers thought there wouldn't be a problem here. So
you knew there was thirty five thousand crocodiles in there,
and yet still did it. That's amazing.

Speaker 6 (46:14):
Mmm.

Speaker 1 (46:15):
Let's see here. Who won? Who was the guy most
spurted crocodiles? Andy Donaldson, good for him. Congratulations, sir, hold
on while I sit my water. Yeah, man, don't get
away with that too. I mean everything, somebody would be
suing there in Australia, but maybe I don't understand their

(46:38):
their laws there. And real quickly I saw you thought
that pastor lady was a little insane. Can I play
something for you? Because this put me down a little
bit of a rabbit hole yesterday and I thought, surely
this has to be some sort of parody video, but
then I realized it's not. It's a thing that multiple

(47:00):
people had made this argument on you know, on tiktoks
and social media, and they believe this. I'm a player
for you. Here we go. What are you talking about?

Speaker 7 (47:09):
I just wanted to just pop the spump fact in there.
African American vernacular English is a language within a language.
So your four year old black baby, your six year
old black baby, speaks two languages, where the average little
white boy does not speak two languages. The study was
called the It was the Habitual be and they got
six twelve kids together, six black, six white. They were

(47:30):
all six years old. They put them in two separate rooms.
They showed them a picture of Elmo holding a cookie,
and they asked both the kids separately who be eating
the cookies? And the white kids was like, Elmo be
eating the cookies. And the black kids looked at that
picture and they was like the cookie monster be eating
the cookies. Elmo just has one. It's a language within
a language, and it's not incorrect.

Speaker 1 (47:52):
What the hell did I just listen to? Now? It's
does vernacular and and you know the words and the
phrases that people used. Is that ebb and flow regionally? Yes?
Is it ebb and flow within within races? Yes? Is
it a separate language, No, it's not.

Speaker 3 (48:12):
I think it's more related to maybe like dialect.

Speaker 1 (48:14):
If anything. This TikTok trend it's called deep running or
there's something else that they call it. But basically the
whole premise is people are showing up at various Church
of Scientology locations and then while filming, they try to
run as deep into the building, as far back into

(48:36):
the secret stuff or whatever, you know, whatever the goal is,
all the while live stream themselves doing it. The Scientology
people freak it out, and and it got so bad
that at some of the locations they've actually the church
was removing the door handles from the outside of the
of the facility, so that there was no way to

(48:58):
get in there unless they were, you know, specifically invited.
H I think the end up having to put them
back because the fire code people are like, yeah, you
got to you gotta have handles on the doors. But
it continues, and then I just saw one Ross, I
texted you this video. Why don't you look at that
and tell me if you notice anything different about this

(49:19):
particular group doing the deep run.

Speaker 3 (49:21):
I saw the story. I think it was last week.

Speaker 1 (49:24):
Yeah, I had seen this video you'be at.

Speaker 3 (49:26):
The beginning of the week. Yeah, but I had not
seen the video.

Speaker 1 (49:31):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (49:33):
I like how they're decked out in like tactical gear.

Speaker 1 (49:36):
Yeah, so it's all dwarfs. What's not all? There's uh,
but most of them are dwarves. And Ross is right,
they're all kidded up like their seal team or something.
And and the Scientology staff is having less luck getting
a hold of these guys for obvious reasons, right, Plus
there's so many of them. But how crazy you just

(49:58):
did at work or whatever? You know, these people work
the Church Scientology just sitting there and all of a sudden,
fifteen dwarves come busting through your front door with their
little tactical look and then just start scampering everywhere across
your facility. Yeah, I too had seen the headline. I
had not seen the video, and I just saw it.
So we'll go ahead and we'll get that to that.

Speaker 3 (50:19):
Maybe they just really want to meet Tom Cruise. I mean,
he's really cool, you know.

Speaker 1 (50:23):
Or John Travolta, Right, isn't he another big sign?

Speaker 3 (50:25):
I think he is. I think he still is.

Speaker 1 (50:26):
Yeah, So there you go, There you go. That's all
going to be a little stunt doubles for Tom. I
can't even I learned about something else this morning. I
didn't know it was a thing. So I'm trying to
figure out how I can delicately explain this because it

(50:49):
also involved a little person. There was a dude who
was an adult entertainer who is who is a dwarf
who is a double for Gordon Ramsey who died And
I did not know that that was a But apparently

(51:11):
it's very lucrative if you're a male performer and you
can and but you are a dwarf, but you also
do you know, look like somebody else who's famous. Apparently
you get paid, but I just want who was who was?

Speaker 7 (51:25):
Like?

Speaker 1 (51:25):
You know what I need? I need some miniature Gordon
Ramsey adult film stuff, That's what I need. And I'm like,
does he act like Gordon Ramsey during the thing? I'm
not gonna go. I'm not gonna go look up any
of these videos. But that was this whole thing. What
was this guy's name, Percy Foster? Craziness man? All right?

Speaker 3 (51:52):
And he just kept screaming in the bin.

Speaker 1 (51:55):
Did he did they do the sandwich that slices of
bread around the woman's head? Liked that one meme. No,
I'm not asking you phone to do anything. Hush up
the things going into the scientology place? Is this a
federal crime? Sort of like related to the Don Lemon?
This is the thing. I'm not a fan of this
because I think you like, it's Scientology is a recognized religion, right,

(52:18):
and and you may think it's weird and you're like,
I'm not going to do that, but according to that
one pastor lady, you could probably be a scientologist then
go to heaven. But anyway, so it is recognized, and
you know, to be critical of what happened over in
Minnesota or Saint Paul. Right with the whole Don Lemon thing,
I think you got to be intellectually consistent. I think

(52:40):
the only differences are not necessarily like it's like you're
barging into a service.

Speaker 3 (52:44):
I was gonna say, the only difference seems to be that,
you know, with the Don Lemon thing, they were all
sitting in the pews and they were taking into service.
Every video I see one of these that come across
my feed, which is it's all right, and it's all
like videos from TikTok that have migrated to other platforms. Right,
the building seems like super empty, like I don't see
anybody else in it, right.

Speaker 1 (53:02):
Yeah, and then you have people just doing like mon.
It's like an office, you really go, albeit it's not
just an office, especially not for the purpose of taxes.
But yeah, I want to say that I saw some
crazy number where there had been like four hundred incidents
to some extent. That's the part to the church though,
so take you know, but I don't know. There's a
lot of idiots out there, and a lot of them

(53:24):
want to be TikTok famous, so maybe that maybe that
number is not that far off. Uh, all right, So
this is interesting because everyone's got a different opinion as
to what they think is going to happen. I'm I'm
you know, I'm I how do I say this? I'm

(53:44):
a little I'm a little grouch here on this topic
because I think people tend to get the whip themselves
into a frenzy over this and then it never really
has anything. So I'm just kind of negative on this.
What do you think the possibility of anything significant being
in whatever this soon to be released new batch of
UFO stuff. Like, there's people out there. I saw running

(54:06):
stories yesterday ross where they're like officials are telling, you know,
pastors that they need to warn and get ready for
their congregation because it may blow up everything they've ever known.
I don't know if you saw that story.

Speaker 3 (54:18):
I saw that. Yeah, that's been all over my feed
about this secret government meeting and like you have all
these pastors from different parts of the country saying, yeah,
what you're hearing about this meeting is true. So they
had a meeting with people, I guess from the White
House or the Trump administration saying hey, we are going
to disclose aliens. You know, aliens are a thing, and
extraterrestrial life and all this kind of stuff, and you
need to be prepared to talk to your congregations about

(54:40):
this thing because they it's quote Bible changing, which of
course it isn't, but that's how they're trying to say,
you know, possibly it could be.

Speaker 1 (54:47):
So, so you do you think anything significant will be disclosed?
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (54:52):
I mean, if the meeting, I mean take it with
the green of salt. Did the meeting really happen?

Speaker 1 (54:56):
I don't know. Social media day, I don't trust anybody
until they just show up. This gets it with DC
there always like I have this evidence, Oh can we
see it? No, Oh, this thing happened. Can anybody confirm that? No? No,
so you could have just made it up? I mean technically, yeah,
So forgive me if I don't get super excited about that.
BLUs Ross also thinks that part of the cruise ship

(55:20):
is cover up for the alien. Yeah something.

Speaker 3 (55:22):
So did you see the X Files clip about the
Haunt of Virus? Okay, listen. In nineteen ninety eight, the
X Files movie it came out. There was a scene
in it where the Haunt of Virus was like a thing,
and they used the Haunt of Virus as a cover
up for alien activity, which ended up being the black oil,
which is a big thing in the show, which you know,

(55:43):
in Slave Humanity, I should slave everyone.

Speaker 1 (55:45):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (55:46):
Yeah, and now and listen. Now we have the Haunt
of virus coming out at the same time as these
UFO files. Some are saying there's a possible connection.

Speaker 8 (55:56):
Are you familiar with the antivirus at your mootic?

Speaker 1 (55:59):
Yeah, it was a deadly virus spread by field mice
in the southwestern United States several years ago.

Speaker 8 (56:04):
According to the newspaper, FEMA was called out to manage
an outbreak of the hand of virus. Are you familiar
with what the Federal Emergency Management Agency's real power is?
FEMA allows the White House to spend constitutional government upon
declaration of a national emergency.

Speaker 1 (56:21):
Think about that.

Speaker 8 (56:22):
What is an agency with such broad sweeping power doing
managing a small viral outbreak in suburban Texas.

Speaker 1 (56:29):
You're saying it was such a small outbreak. No, I'm
saying it wasn't the Hand of virus. Yeah, there was.
There was a video I'll see if I can find
it where somebody just mined all of the old X
files for outrageous like moments like that where you know,
one character is explaining some government conspiracy thing to another

(56:52):
to show how many arts have come true. A lot
of it was around COVID and stuff like that, where
they're just like this thing that was It's a key
plot point in an early X Files episode because it
was so out there insane as to be included was
something that they did under the Biden administration.

Speaker 3 (57:09):
There's this big like you know, trope and science fiction
that's been around for a while where they say, you know,
the government implants these things in pop culture to prepare
people for disclosure or things that are going to happen
in the future.

Speaker 1 (57:20):
So I don't know, I'm not I'll wait and see.
Look they marched some alien out on stage and say, hey,
I'm I would be pretty impressed with that, So, you know,
I pray it'll be somewhere between nothing and that probably,
So there you go. All right, seven forty four, let's
give mister race stagic on up. How you doing, sir

(57:42):
good Man? How are you? Oh, you know, it's Friday. Yeah,
we do appreciate that even though you're gonna you know,
steal some of our weekend should be bad as bad
as it probably could be, well as it sounds right. No,
go ahead, oh, go ahead, go ahead, impress it.

Speaker 9 (58:02):
Well, a couple things, you know. Usually you hear, well,
somebody said it was going to rain, and it's like
Tuesday or Wednesday, and then things change in the long range,
and then somebody looks at their rap and they see
like the rain drops and the thunderstorm, and they think
it's going to be like, oh, it's going to rain
on Saturday.

Speaker 1 (58:16):
Or something like that. So that's why we're here to
kind of clear out all the noise here to tamp down.

Speaker 9 (58:21):
Actually exactly, I'm going to tamp down expectations, and we're
going to beat down anybody that's saying that the weekend
is going to be a washout.

Speaker 1 (58:29):
Certainly not going to be that.

Speaker 9 (58:30):
We'll there'll be some spotty showers here and there, especially
the Triangle maybe tomorrow and again on Sunday, but I
really think a lot of it's going to hold off
until Sunday night, so we should get through most of
the weekend with very little rainfall. We've seen this week
anywhere from close to an inch to over two inches
of rain across most of central and eastern parts of

(58:53):
the state. A little bit to the west there or
some three inch totals but helpful, but certainly not going
to be enough.

Speaker 1 (58:58):
Looks good this morning.

Speaker 9 (58:59):
There's some fog, especially south down near Fayetteville and over
near in just east of Charlotte. Other than that, we'll
looking pretty good elsewhere with clear sky mostly Sunday near
seventy today, fifty tonight, Tomorrow, clouds and sunshine, maybe a
passing shower and that's it. Mid upper seventies tomorrow, Sunday
Mother's Day, sun and clouds, and again in the afternoon,

(59:20):
maybe a passing shower.

Speaker 1 (59:21):
That's it.

Speaker 9 (59:21):
No widespread rain, upper seventies to low eighties, so nice
a mile too before we get showers. Thundershowers likely Sunday
night to Monday. So again, does look like most of
the weekend is going to be dry. Passing shower here
and there, and that's about it.

Speaker 1 (59:35):
Okay, all right, we'll talk again in the next hour.
Appreciate it. Okay, there you go, mister rased Agic from
the weather Channel. It is seven forty six. Hang on,
just a couple of stories and maybe a call or two.
We'll try to fit in here before we get to that.
But oh, are you guys prepared? Are you guys prepared
to feel really old again. And this is a two

(59:56):
for this week. So earlier in the week it was
Kurt Loder turning eighty one, Yeah, the dude from MTV,
And now it's this Candace Cameron birr to become grandmother
as daughter Natasha is pregnant. That's right, Candace Cameron, It's

(01:00:17):
gonna be a grandma from the Full House. I know,
I understand the math maths, but still see headlines like
that and you're like, oh great, here we go. So
just just one one more thing for you and as
as you, I guess, evaluate where you're at and then
let me throw this in. I don't know, how do

(01:00:38):
you guys feeling about this? So, as expected, March Madness
has announced, well, the NCAA has announced that they will
be expanding March Madness to seventy six teams. And here's
the thing. We always do this and they're like, oh,
then there's these bubble teams and they got screwed. There's
still gonna be bubble teams. That's never going to go away.

(01:01:01):
So that'll add what eight more games, eight more teams.
And this is about this is about revenue. Let's just
be honest, and I got to tell you, and I
don't know if anyone else really felt this way. I
thought that they were extra exploitative this time around. And
this is the larger discussion with sports right now, just
the sheer greed that's going on there. But like, I

(01:01:22):
don't know, man, I felt like it was throwing the
flow of the game off. Plus you already know how
I feel about having these nine to thirty start games
where it'll be like two East Coast teams too, and
then they'll be nine. Oh, we're not gonna start till
nine thirty. And now, if you're a kid and you
wanted to watch that, you have some interest in basketball,
and it's a school night, yeah, kind of screwed. Man.

(01:01:43):
Choose to be exhausted the next day or I guess
missed the game and you don't watch it the next day.
And that's if you can find any of its streaming,
because they're so aggressive and even taking all the clips
down off Twitter to the point where it's almost not
even worth sharing them. But no, we're gonna go ahead
and get We're gonna expand this to seventy six, the

(01:02:04):
long expected expansion of both the men's and women's basketball tournaments.
But I'm sorry, and this is just kind of the
nature of it. I've seen a lot of people argue
that even the current number of teams for women's basketball
programs is too much because the talent is so locked

(01:02:26):
up by just a handful of programs that you don't
really have the Cinderella opportunities there. Now, somebody can correct
me if I'm wrong, But how it expanding it bringing
in a worse teams than have to face Connecticut or
you know, South Carolina or whatever, you know, the top
tier pro U c l A. Now you're bringing in
damn near a mid major to go up against one

(01:02:47):
of them. It'll be absolute destruction because there's just not
as much parody as there is in the men's game,
and that in and of itself is becoming threatened with
everything you know that goes on with you know, nil
and everything right now, so I don't know. And then finally,
are you guys, Are you guys ready to be dazzled

(01:03:09):
by the by the ingenuity of jen Alpha because they've
apparently come up with this thing. Oh wait, Ross is
on the phone. I gotta wait for Ross to not
be on the phone, because he I feel like he
may be picking up on what I'm putting down here.
All right, Ross, you want to be dazzled by the

(01:03:30):
latest innovation from the youngest generation and how they're entertaining themselves. Okay,
so it's called footbagging. So here's what you do. You get.
You get like some rounded, durable little like it would
be the size of a pool ball, soft cloth. It
could be leather too, or rayon, or you could use

(01:03:51):
like crocheted yarns. Right inside of there, You're gonna put
a bag with a bunch of small pellets. It could
be dried beans, things like that, and then you sew
that up and then you and your friends stand around
in a circle and you take turns using just your
feet of manipulating the footbag.

Speaker 3 (01:04:12):
Right, So this is the thing we did back in
the day. That's called hacky sack.

Speaker 1 (01:04:15):
That's called footbag.

Speaker 3 (01:04:16):
No, it's hacked here.

Speaker 1 (01:04:19):
Yeah, but like but did you stand in a circle.

Speaker 4 (01:04:21):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:04:21):
It was like popular at like fish concerts, and you're right, yeah,
with a certain statement of the of the high school crowd.

Speaker 1 (01:04:29):
Yeah, Well, apparently it's made quite a comeback. In fact,
they say that they're on set on they should sell
six hundred percent more footbags this year.

Speaker 3 (01:04:39):
Man.

Speaker 1 (01:04:40):
That's what they call it. It's a footbag. Radio Buddy
to the South the mid Days WBT, mister Pete callaner
who is on an absolute ghod and rightfully sew this
this week. Man, how many times now are you tweeting
every day? By retweeting our articles and then using the

(01:05:01):
hashtag YouTube has a problem because I think like.

Speaker 4 (01:05:04):
I've also added YouTube fraud. Yeah, YouTube fraud. I've thrown
in there now too.

Speaker 1 (01:05:09):
All right, So I gave the soft explanation of the audience.
I haven't spoken to you about the specifics, but as
I understand it, this side thing, which really wasn't a
side thing. This was something you were building after you
left iHeart, but before you got the current gig where
you developed an audience and we're doing weekly streams and

(01:05:30):
you know the Patreon component. I and then you did
it what Thursday nights, Wednesday night whenever you did.

Speaker 4 (01:05:36):
It Wednesday nights?

Speaker 1 (01:05:38):
Yep, yeah, Wednesday nights and then just poof, it's all gone.
So explain what's going on here?

Speaker 4 (01:05:47):
Right?

Speaker 6 (01:05:47):
So?

Speaker 4 (01:05:47):
I when I left iHeart in twenty twenty, I set, uh,
you know, my podcast, and one of the revenue streams
was this platform called Patreon where people could subscribe and
they get content we do, and we started the live streams.
So I've been doing the live stream every week for
six years now. This is a paywall live stream. If
you go to well, you can't go now, but if

(01:06:09):
you went to the Pete Calender YouTube channel, you would
not see any videos there from any of the live streams, right,
because it was all behind the Patreon paywall, and Patreon
had partnered with YouTube, so I had to use YouTube.
And so this is a tiny account, right, And I'm
watching a Ben Shapiro Show episode on Friday night. I

(01:06:31):
go to bed. I wake up the next day and
I try to resume the episode and I can't watch it,
and says, your channel is terminated and they accused me
of violating their policy on scams, spam and deceptive practice.
Oh no, And so I went, yeah, and so I
take offense to that as a broadcast professional, like what

(01:06:52):
exactly are you accusing me of? I read their policy.
I'm not in violation of their policy. So I quit
the one button appeal because it's a form email, you know,
boiler plate thing that goes out and I, yeah, so
I clicked the appeal. I write up a little thing
about you know, you know, tell me what it is,
present me some evidence of what I've done that you

(01:07:13):
are flagging. I know it's probably you know, some AI
auto moderator kind of a thing, and I have no
doubt that my appeal is not going to be seen
by a human. But still I submit the appeal. This
is on Saturday morning, and within like two hours I
get a response Nope, your appeal is denied and that's it.
And so I had to now tell all of the

(01:07:34):
people on Patreon. So I wrote up the I you know,
wrote a post about it, shared it on Twitter, and
after that I started getting all sorts of people that
started telling me the same thing was happening to them
and had happened to them. Somebody I know who has
been doing a history podcast and they knew Church Channel too,

(01:07:55):
So it's like, well, wait a minute, what is the
process here? And when you start looking at their process
and you start getting inundated with all these different content
creators that say they've been demonetized, they're accused of inauthentic content,
which is hilarious that the AI is telling the humans
that you're producing inauthentic content, and then they demonetize. And

(01:08:18):
this is where it gets kind of like, I'm starting
to suspect nefarious motives, not from me or my channel,
but although I do have a couple of theories on that,
but the but the people who had videos up that
were making money and it's their livelihood in some cases,
and they get demonetized, but YouTube leaves their their videos up.

(01:08:42):
They just tell them we're not going to We're not
going to give you any of the money from your
ads or from your from the ad placements in your videos.
So wait a minute. I've been creating content for you know,
three months. I'm waiting on my quarterly payout, and you're
just going to keep that because you gave me a
strike today and so I don't get any of the

(01:09:03):
money even though I am appealing. You then keep the
videos up, and you keep putting ads in them, and
you keep selling those ads, and then YouTube is keeping
all that money that now moves into a different realm
of you've gone beyond just you know, moderation and ooh,
we made some mistakes or you know, we're targeting conservatives

(01:09:25):
because that's why Like, I set up a Rumble channel
back in twenty three during the Great of Wokening because
I feared this very thing happening when they were banning
conservatives on all the platforms. So like now I'm starting
to wonder if there's something else going on. Also, I
wonder did I get reported, because it was within twenty
four hours I got blown up by YouTube after I

(01:09:50):
after I made a comment on Twitter about the comments
section on YouTube for the Piers Morgan Show and the
topic that was being discussed, what Israel?

Speaker 1 (01:10:03):
Yeah, what's that isn't? What fresh hell that must be?

Speaker 4 (01:10:07):
Oh, it's all I said, it's the dumpster fire. I said,
your comments. Because Will Chamberlain, who's with the Article three project,
was on the show and I've interviewed Will and you know,
I've talked with him and stuff, and so Will was
on the show and he was talking about how the
comments section was, you know, ripping him, and he said,
all that means I did a good job. If the
Peers Morgan commenters are you know, are dragging me, then

(01:10:31):
that tells me I did a good job. And Piers
Morgan said something like, okay, what you know, However, you
want to spin that Will, and I said, Will is
exactly correct. Your comment section is a dumpster fire. Also,
Will was correct in his argument against you. And then
I get banned from YouTube, and so, like I'm wondering,
was there some sort of a mass reporting effort that

(01:10:52):
was ginned up by those commenters, you know, like somebody
stunk it. I did get some pushback from some people
on Twitter.

Speaker 1 (01:10:59):
Yeah, yeah, you you've been on you know, like you
can go see the list you've ended up on. I'm
sure you've seen that before. You end up on some
mass block list. Yeah. And and then also what makes
people question this is they see people on the left
who are allowed to do anything they want by these platforms.
Uh yeah, the son has son Piker, he could, he could,

(01:11:24):
he could stream himself starting a concentration camp, right, and
they still wouldn't Demond He's probably still wouldn't demonetize it.

Speaker 4 (01:11:33):
And he's right, yeah, and if he now, if he did,
if Piker did start a concentration camp on his twitch stream,
I do know somebody that might be willing to act
as a guard. He's already got the logo, Oh.

Speaker 1 (01:11:48):
You tell you you're you're your man in Maine.

Speaker 4 (01:11:52):
Yeah, yeah, exactly, Yeah, I mean yeah, has On Piker
is sort of the He is the penultimate example of this.
The guy has literally called for the murder of Republicans,
specific Republicans and it and it doesn't get him banned
from that platform because he's like the number one streamer
on Twitch and so they won't get rid of him,

(01:12:14):
so he can get away with saying all sorts of
stuff like that. Obviously twitches not YouTube, but you know,
it does the There is a fundamental you know, fairness
aspect to all of this, which is the ability to
you know, confront your accuser and the ability to see
the evidence and to present your case right, and none

(01:12:35):
of that exists on the YouTube platform. You don't get
to confront whoever it is that's accusing you. If you've
get if you're the target of a swarm of you know,
Pakistani bots you know that are anti Semites and are
coming after you, you know, or the people who are
running these you know, bot farms and stuff, and they
just swarm you, you have no ability to confront those accusers,

(01:12:57):
and YouTube provides you no example of what it is
that you did. And like I'm just I'm being inundated
with all of these different examples, and then I get
people like I had last night on Twitter that are
telling me, oh yeah, they're just cranking out AI slop
and I'm like, okay, first off, like not everybody that's
being banned is doing that. And they're like, well, that's

(01:13:20):
just not good content. They should take it down. I'm like, oh, okay,
So you're going to say what is good and what
is not good content, and that's you want, like a
AI moderated like standards like this is art, this is worthy,
this is good, this is bad. Just because you don't
like something doesn't mean that somebody shouldn't be able to
post it, right, as long as they're not stealing from

(01:13:42):
other people like this is well. And there's this prevalent
thought out there that's just bizarre to me that oh,
well I don't like the video, so therefore YouTube is
justified in nuking somebody's account.

Speaker 1 (01:13:54):
Do you remember? And here's the thing YouTube under fundamentally
understands this. And it's very easy to understand too, because
this type, that type of activism, it was the model
that they were writing stories about with those sleeping giants idiots.
Do you remember the sleeping Giants people. Sleeping Giants was remember, Yeah,

(01:14:17):
so this was an online decentralized online activist thing, and
so they had and they had all these different fake
Twitter accounts, but they also had a bunch of real
Twitter accounts, and then if they wanted to attack someone,
then they would put the word out and then all
of these people that are part of the Sleeping Giants
is what they called themselves network, would then go mass

(01:14:38):
report they were found in twenty sixteen anything having to
do with Trump. Some of the people were also the
ones who were harassing Limbaugh very successfully in one instance,
to get sponsors pulled. That was their whole thing. This
They were going to do this until they could demonetize
you AI over YouTube just cut out the middleman, and

(01:14:59):
it was very successful. They understood how to manipulate and
crash these channels if they saw something that they didn't like.
And again they were lauded in the New York Times.
Your Times wrote a big piece about how brilliant these
people are. So YouTube should fundamentally understand that this is
part of the game, and I don't know, maybe build
it into the algorithm, but they're not going.

Speaker 7 (01:15:18):
To right now.

Speaker 4 (01:15:20):
And I understand like the scale of the of the
moderation problem, you know, Like, I not that I know
the numbers, but I mean, you've got millions of videos
that are being uploaded and watched like every single day.
How do you have somebody, you know human review all
of that. But there needs to be some sort of
you know, appeals mechanism where you do eventually get to

(01:15:45):
a stage where you can see the examples of what
they're citing, right, instead of just pointing me to some
policy guidelines that you know, at the bottom of it says,
you know, this is not inclusive of all of the
types of infractions. So it's kind of like, okay, so
whatever goes. I have no idea what any of that means,
because you're saying that the items you listed are not

(01:16:08):
inclusive of all of the ways that we can demonetize
or ban you because there's different you know, they do
different things demonetization. They give you strikes, so there are
different penalties.

Speaker 1 (01:16:18):
To be clear, you never had a strike. You've never
had a.

Speaker 4 (01:16:21):
Strike, right, No, No, I never had any videos that
were public, so I never had there was something to
ever strike. So yeah, so I like I'm unclear as
to you know, first what policy I violated, but also
give me the example of the video or videos that
I've posted, and then you should be able to, i
don't know, take down the videos, the offending videos or whatever,

(01:16:43):
keep the channel and then you know, make it right
because some people, if they you know, some some people
may have used a picture or something and as a
copyrighted picture and then they get you know, demonetized for
nine months or something like that, and like, well maybe
if they just take the picture out right, like just
have them correct it. But there's nothing like that, it seems,

(01:17:05):
especially for like a tiny I mean, I had a
very tiny account. It's like I said, it was only
used for the Patreon subscribers.

Speaker 1 (01:17:13):
Yeah, what was they gonna say? I I I feel
like YouTube does have like a slop issue. But I'm
just really yours is so interesting because I just assumed
it was content based, Like you didn't pronoun properly, and
you know, in some activities that's possible. I didn't realize. Yeah,
but they said you're running a scam Like that doesn't

(01:17:33):
even make it right to me.

Speaker 4 (01:17:36):
Right, spam scams, deceptive practice like I like, I have
an AD that is embedded in my in the in
the live stream from one of my sponsors of the podcast,
but I clicked the box that says this live stream
contains a paid endorsement. And then you get a banner
that shows up at the top. That's it, Like I'm

(01:17:56):
following you a rule. Yeah, there's no there's no deceptive
practice or scam or spam like. And that's what's most
offensive to me, is like you're accusing me of something
that's like that. That's pretty bad for somebody who's doing
what and has done what I have done for you know,
almost thirty years now, and to accuse me of that
with zero evidence and then to not you know, not

(01:18:20):
communicate any further than the boiler place stuff. So it's like,
you know what, fine, I'm done with YouTube. I'm off
of the platform. Screw them. But I've like I've had
somebody reach out to me from a congressman's office, and
so yeah, sure, if you you need some examples of
people that have been harmed, like it shouldn't take it
somebody from congress pressuring YouTube or inquiring with YouTube, because

(01:18:43):
you know, regular people that aren't on the radio, they
don't get that option available to them, right, So, like
I'm not interested in really using it to get the
channel back, but I am interested in getting YouTube's attention
for whatever this mechanism is.

Speaker 1 (01:18:58):
You would smile if one of the YouTube people sit
in front of a congressional here and they're like, what
about the instance of Pete Callander from North Carolina? Come on?
That would make your day behind.

Speaker 4 (01:19:08):
I would use the audio forever.

Speaker 1 (01:19:10):
I know you would, all right, hey, we got to
pip over this other thing. Because so the mayor of Charlotte,
six months after into her new term, is like, you
know what, I'm going to go spend more time with
my grandkids. What this feels like to me is one
of these situations where the incumbent's gonna run so that
they don't disrupt the type of politics they want in there,

(01:19:31):
but in reality they don't plan to stick around. You
see this crap in congress too. Is that what's going
on here? Or is there something else going on? I
got about a minute and a half.

Speaker 4 (01:19:41):
It seemed, well, so it seems like the city council
is going to be putting. They would put in their replacement,
and city council has always opted for somebody who's not
going to run again, So I'm not sure if that's
what's going on. It seems the rumor down here Charlotte
is that she may be having some health issues and

(01:20:03):
so she's not interested in sticking around for the full
two years. What those issues may be, Uh, there's just
rampant speculation about it. But she has not been attending
rezoning meetings for a while, and she has not been
completely uh lucid, I guess all the time. And so
people are wondering if it's if it's some sort of cognitive.

Speaker 1 (01:20:24):
Issue, Well, why do we keep button into this man?
Why don't we why do we keep Remember they were
they were saying that Susan Collins is like going to
shake herself to death, right then, well, yeah, we had.

Speaker 4 (01:20:36):
A county commissioner who was bedridden with like dementia and
her daughter was voting for her. Yeah, we had that
like two years ago.

Speaker 1 (01:20:45):
All right, Well, I'll tell you why you beat us
in lunatics. We'll beat you in success of big four
sports in the state. Okay, because hut there and oh
look at that the Hurricanes are in the playoffs. That's amazing.

Speaker 4 (01:21:00):
That over you got one, but you got one, you
got one team?

Speaker 1 (01:21:03):
Yeah, that's right, one team into the playoffs, one hundred
percent playoff conversion rate. Just think about that. I gotta
go see be appreciated and we'll be right back. Six
year long affair that he's alleged to have happened between
miss Russini and uh coach Rabel there of the Patriots,
and like so this one, she's on some sports panel thing, right,

(01:21:26):
there's five or six people and they're kind of playing
like a family feud thing and uh, you know, on
this radio show and they ask her, what's something you
do with your eyes closed? And she said essentially her husband, yeah,
which has to make him feel great, and that these

(01:21:49):
keep coming out, So Ross, this is a Ross's theory.
But one of the theories Ross and I were just
talking about is there is a theory that because you
know everything's getting slow, right, you have these photos, then
you wait a little bit, and then you have these photos,
and then you have this video clip, you have this
document or you have this little factoid about the kids
named me and Michael, and then and then just every

(01:22:13):
week just put one of them out. And the theory
is that this is the revenge by her husband for
being demeaned all these years. There's lots of clips where
she's just not very nice to them. Plus the fact
that this whole you know, this whole thing was going
on and so he's just like, all right, I guess
we're burning it down. That is a theory.

Speaker 6 (01:22:35):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:22:35):
The theory is all this stuff is coming from a
PI that he had hired a while ago to investigate her,
and he found out it was true, and then she
said it wasn't going on anymore. Then he found out
it was, and now he's slow rolling all the videos
and stuff out to really screw them over at this
time of the year before the season starts.

Speaker 1 (01:22:49):
Yeah, I did see. Now some of the some of
the their cohorts, her cohorts are like, all right, we
need to stop. Why is America fascinated with this? These
very demeaning think pieces like oh, you know this is
you people are are of low quality that you would
even care about this. The reason people care about it
is because there are fundamental fairness questions from an NFL perspective,

(01:23:14):
But there's also the when people see horrible people, they
have reactions to the horrible things that horrible people do.
That's just human nature, right, and for you know, a
lot of people have been cheated on too, and they're
looking at this because of how brazen it was. You
guys are at a two thousand dollars a night, especially

(01:23:35):
adult hotel ahead of the NFL meetings, which means other
people around the NFL are going to be there too, right,
because they kind of make a little vacation out of it,
and you're and you're openly, openly canoodling there in the
hot tub, dude. The most damning thing is the thing
that came out what was it yesterday or the day
before where there she's seven months pregnant and they're hooking

(01:23:58):
up their meeting on a dock to they into the vote. Yeah, man,
little stabbing cabin there, just to float that thing out.

Speaker 3 (01:24:06):
And then later, you know, the kid is born and
she names it Mike.

Speaker 1 (01:24:10):
But that's for her brother. Oh of course we know
that because a reporter was told that and dutifully wrote
it down. So and and now I'm say, and now
I have to judge, do I believe that which is
possible she didn't name it after her brother or having
seen the other series of horrible things that have come out,

(01:24:32):
the brazenness, just the disrespect all of it. Excuse me
if I'm also like, you know what, it might be
the first one. She might have named it after Vrabel Pete.
Once people have taken it to that point where they're
willing to, you know, violate this the the person that
they're married to so brazenly, so openly having so much

(01:24:55):
looks like she's having so much fun doing it that
you fail to humanize the person that you're doing this too,
you start doing evil things, you start being snippy and
disrespectful in all these different there's so many different clips
of her demeaning her husband. You know, it'd be one

(01:25:17):
thing if it was like a one off joke or whatever,
clearly joke. And I don't think she's joking when I
see this, And I would say that even if I
didn't know the rest of the backstore.

Speaker 3 (01:25:25):
You've got the ethics when it comes to the business
between you know, her getting inside sources and trading. And
I guess like when she was on that boat that
it was the same weekend all the stuff with Atlanta
and Julio Jones is going down, So I say that's
when they probably discussed all that happening.

Speaker 1 (01:25:40):
But also, as you know from a coach. If you're
in the locker room. You can't be a leader and
inspire people if you're so morally corrupt and they know
about it, because you look like a walking hypocrite. Well
maybe at the Patriots because there's degrees of corruption there,
but no, you're right, you do. And also so you
look like you know nothing about pr Honestly, if they

(01:26:04):
had just come out and been honest about this, we
wouldn't be here.

Speaker 3 (01:26:07):
Do you remember if one of the players was posting
Christian memes and he had a press conference saying that
his player had to be re educated as to what
was you know, appropriate?

Speaker 1 (01:26:18):
Well, well, and that was on the tail end of
the bass. Remember the guy who played for Chicago and
they I can't remember what was the thing. He posted something,
some religious something, and they and they ran him, they
literally fired him from the Chicago Bulls. And so then
this Patriots player, I think that the theory was that
he was this was some sort of subversive protest. But

(01:26:41):
you're right. First thing Rabel did is go, dope, we're
not doing that.

Speaker 3 (01:26:45):
And if you're a player, how can you look at
this coach and be like, yeah, that dude's going to
have my back that dude's going to support me when
he's willing to do this own stuff to his own wife.

Speaker 1 (01:26:54):
Yeah, yeah, So I'm sure we haven't even seen the
end of all of this stuff. I haven't even seen
the end of all of this stuff. Know what is
this people sending me? We talked, I did talk about
that story earlier. Well, in fact, let me just revisit
it because it's so stupid. I opened the show with this.
So there's two stories. There's two stories I saw this morning,

(01:27:16):
just I think do a wonderful job of highlighting how
the media operates with this stuff. One's from NBC. The
other is from a lot of different publications. Actually, so
let me let me start with the NBC News one.
So I saw NBC News write multiple different versions or
multiple stories on this one topic yesterday, like they were

(01:27:38):
really really into this story. And here's the headline. Hold on, Well,
here's the overview. It involves Kyle Writtenhouse. Of course, Kyle
Rittenhouse involved in Kenosha, you know, shot those three individuals.
What did the whole trial did all of that? So
he's back in the news why because he got bitten

(01:27:59):
by a recluse, which is not good you should not
get bitten by those. And so he literally is having
to go see he having to go to the hospital
see treatment. He's updating people on social media while it's
going on. So it's not like the guy almost died.
I guess he feasibly could have. But you know, so
that's going on. Well, NBC sees this, so they decide, what, hell,
that's a great story because I bet there's a bunch

(01:28:20):
of our listeners who loved the idea that Kyle Rittenhouse
got bitten by a venomous spider. So this is the headline.
NBC News goes with Kyle Rittenhouse, who gained fame for
opening fire at a twenty twenty civil rights rally in Wisconsin,
was hospitalized after has been by a venomous spider. And

(01:28:45):
it's because now I'm going to use that to discern
your motives on why you did the story. And if
you're willing to call Kenosha, Wisconsin a quote civil rights
rally and not an absolute fiery riot, which it was
lots of video, then I assume you only wrote this

(01:29:05):
story because you kind of wish the spider had finished
the job. Is that wrong? I mean, I can only
use the clues you present me. But if you're gonna
call the civil rights rally, that's a clue. And then
the second one, you have this arrest of the out
of the Disney cruise ship. They rested twenty eight individuals
as it docked into San Diego, and immediately everyone's out

(01:29:28):
there like, oh, they're doing ice raids. People were in
the country illegally, which that never tracked because of how
cruise ships staff people like, there's a lot of oversight
there so that they can save money by not hiring
Americans usually, which is why you go on a cruise ship,
and it's a lot of people from third world countries
that work on there because they can pay them a
lot less. And since technically these ships aren't registered in

(01:29:50):
the US, they have there's some flexibility there. So the
idea that they would have people on there illegally considering
the amount of paperwork they have to keep, they never tracked,
but yet they put it out there and you see
then the videos they're leading them handcuffs, there's a woman
screaming why, why, no, And then the angle of the
articles are look at ice who just destroyed these Disney

(01:30:13):
cruise vacations for these poor kids who had to watch it. Okay,
do you know why those people were arrested. They were
arrested for running an international child pornography ring. I'm going
to repeat that they were running not just a side hustle,
they were running a whole damn child poured ring with

(01:30:36):
physical and digital assets, all sorts of stuff. It's a
very extensive investigation. That's why they were arrested. And you know,
a lot of people would have seen the first version
of this where it's just Ice being mean to the
poor Disney kids, and not see this follow up, which,
of course it was only later in the day when
that started to be included, even though it was in

(01:30:57):
the initial statement that the that was put out by DHS.
So make with that what you will, all right, eight
forty five raced age. You're here to make sense of
the weather the extent that he can. Yeah, then it
makes sense to do as you did to Mississippi. Man,
how many tornadoes do you get done in Mississippi?

Speaker 8 (01:31:14):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (01:31:14):
Gosh, all the tornadoes? Yeah? All the It was a few.

Speaker 9 (01:31:19):
It was a bunch, and there were Luckily I didn't
hear of any fatalities, right, which is amazing. Four hundred
bus structures destroyed. I think amazing. In a severe weather season,
at least in the southeast has been a little out
of whack. A lot of the severe weather has been
focused north, but it started to shift south and kind

(01:31:40):
of a pattern change that we've gotten into a little
bit more rain around, and I think every couple of
days three four days we get a chance of rain.
Our next best chance will be Sunday night into Monday. Sure,
mans the showers here and there for Saturday and Sunday,
but I think it's just that passing through and that
should be about it. I'll leave it to the weekend

(01:32:00):
crew to fine tune the forecast, but right now I
think it looks pretty good. As we are already this morning,
there's a lot of sun out already near seventy on
either side of it, depending on where you are, fifty
tonight and then Tomorrow mostly Sunday some clouds, and with
those clouds there could be a passing shower upper seventies
and Sunday same thing, sunny clouds may be a passing
shower a little bit milder near eighty degrees, and then

(01:32:21):
Sunday night to Monday a better chance of showers. Then
we'll get a couple of dry days before we get
some more showers as we look ahead toward midweek. So
we're kind of in this back and forth with the
dry and then we get some wet, which is all
good news. We could use all the rain we could
get right now. Okay, all right, thank you sir, having
good weekend YouTube. There you go, rased agic and we'll
come back with Bloomberg News. Next chek to what's happening, Hey.

Speaker 10 (01:32:43):
Casey, it's Jobs Day on Wall Street. A bigger payroll
gain than expected. US employers added to payrolls for a
second month in April, marketing the first back to back
advance and nearly a year in the unemployment rate held steady.
Labor Stats data out this morning shows non farm payrolls
rose one hundred and fifteen thousand last month after a
so urge in March, so the median estimate in a
Bloomberg survey called for a sixty five thousand increase. The

(01:33:04):
unemployment rate was unchanged at four point three percent. Toyota
is bracing for higher raw materials costs on disruptions stemming
from the Iran warp. The Auto Giant forecasting and abrupt
drop in operating profit. Toyota's outlook shows how geopolitical shocks
are hitting automakers, threatening margins through higher materials, shipping, and
tariff costs. And Apple says it's reaching the late stages

(01:33:27):
of development for new air pods with built in cameras.
This will be the first wearable device designed for AI
in the AI era. For Apple, the earbuds feature cameras
that essentially act as eyes for the serie digital assistant,
allowing the device to capture visual information in low res
and provide information to the user. And Google is launching
the fitbit Air, which is a screenless fitness band that

(01:33:50):
tracks key health metrics like steps and sleep. It features
a soft fabric band with a battery and a sensory
pack underneath. It costs one hundred dollars and an optional
ten bucks a month for a subscription to Google Health.
Nintendo will increase the price of its switch to console
fifty bucks to five hundred dollars. The company will make
the change across the globe on September first. Nintendo's been

(01:34:10):
under pressure from higher shipping costs and surge in prices
of memory chips. By the way that device is selling
at the fastest pace for any home console in history.
Airbnb is hosting our rather hosts are expecting to welcome
tens of thousands of new guests this summer.

Speaker 6 (01:34:24):
For the World Cup.

Speaker 10 (01:34:26):
More than one hundred thousand homes in the sixteen hosts
cities have been listed on Airbnb for the very first time,
and as a result, Airbnb is boosting its financial forecast
for the year. The short term home rental company has
been shaking up its business. It started to offer rooms
at boutique hotels in markets that are tightly regulated. It's
also adding new a la cart services in seleck markets

(01:34:47):
like instacart, grocery stocking, and finally, case Mother's Day is
this Sunday, and Americans are expected to spend a record
thirty eight billion dollars to celebrate mom according to the
National Retail Federation. That's two hundred and eighty four dollars
a y person, beating the previous record set in twenty
twenty three. And despite the economic uncertainty, we all still
want to show our moms how much we love them,

(01:35:07):
so we're spending the money.

Speaker 1 (01:35:09):
Let me let me go back to the World Cup thing.
I'm kind of tracking what's going on with tickets? Are
you following along with this?

Speaker 10 (01:35:14):
I sure am, because I have sons that bought tickets
and they're reselling them and trying to make big money
and they actually have so it's pretty crazy.

Speaker 1 (01:35:23):
Yeah, but there's still a million unsold tickets, a million
unsold tickets with people basically pointing to the high prices.
It's being an issue in some of the examples Nosebleed
for the US team's matches in La and Seattle, one
thousand dollars. That's your cheapest tickets. I've heard more.

Speaker 10 (01:35:42):
I've heard more than one thousand dollars.

Speaker 1 (01:35:44):
Yeah, it says a thousand to two thousands. I'm just
taking money in there. It's crazy for some reason, this
match against what was it Portugal, and I don't know
why I was reading that that one is. But there's
other matches, there's other venues that are twenty percent sold.

Speaker 10 (01:36:00):
Well, my sons were able to sell their tickets for thousands,
and they're not even the US team. I mean, they're
like lousy games A nice.

Speaker 1 (01:36:07):
Yeah, I think so. See, it comes down to where
you are. And because I saw the craziness they're doing
with the train for you guys up there in New
York with one hundred ticket.

Speaker 10 (01:36:15):
I mean, there's no way anybody's getting into the city
when there's games going on.

Speaker 1 (01:36:20):
No way. All right, we'll follow it. Thank you much.
Have a good weekend.

Speaker 10 (01:36:23):
Okay you too, So yeah, there you go.

Speaker 1 (01:36:26):
Erica Hurskowitz, Bloomberg News. All right, I gotta play one
other piece of audio for you. So we talked about
that Katie Porter, right, the chick running for governor there,
who's just awful, Like she's the one who's screaming at
her staff in the video and try to make a
little cutesy add but she just comes across as extremely unlikable,
unless you will be Goldberg, who had a very interesting defense,

(01:36:51):
Like I like them. I like the fact that she said,
wait a minute, me, yeah, let's talk about y'alla. It
was like forty five of y'all and one of me.
And maybe she, maybe you know, maybe she does yell
at people. I yell at people, you yellow people, You
yell at people.

Speaker 10 (01:37:06):
And sometimes I only yell at my husband's right, he's
a person though.

Speaker 11 (01:37:10):
Yeah, there's no question that women are held to a
different standard in their public sphere, like ability all these issues.
We talk about politics, but I don't think she's the
best spokesperson for this. I think how somebody treats staff
under them says so much about their character. And we
should note we saw the video where she beraided a
staffer in a way I've never, in any job in
politics been talked to that Stafford then did accept the

(01:37:32):
apologized apology and continue to work with her, but that
to me is a sign of very questionable character. She's
had abuse allegations against her from her husband, She's had
counter abuse allegations her against him. I think there's a
volatility there that needs to be taken seriously. If it
was a man to a woman, I think that we would.

Speaker 1 (01:37:50):
But you know what, all right, no, you know, hush,
all right. So we're normalizing where you could just scream
at staff and that's normal. I'll scream of my staff.

Speaker 3 (01:37:59):
Is that or is that?

Speaker 1 (01:38:01):
Because that sounds kind of insane.
