Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Look at this.

Speaker 2 (00:00):
Oh no, are we really? This is how we're gonna
have to start the day to day, you know. Unfortunately,
because there's probably some of you listening to the show, well,
why is my microphone screen all moved? All right, there
we go? Okay, all right, yeah, Unfortunately, some of you
might be trying to engage in, you know, exercise or

(00:24):
something this morning out here. There's some people who do that,
and you know they're apparent as you know, listening to
the show. Excuse me. There are certain exercises or types
of workouts that have been deemed basically, you're a big
old fascist, right. I believe the current one ross is

(00:44):
just like the jimbro weightlifting right, how the right has
weaponized that.

Speaker 3 (00:48):
No, if you lift, you're like you're like a Nazi.

Speaker 2 (00:50):
Oh wow, okay, all right, well that's uh, that's that's
probably not helpful. But unfortunately it is. It's extending past
that day and it might actually impact I think this
one's probably gonna have a lot more impact on women personally.
Not that women don't you know, lift weights or whatnot,

(01:11):
but I mean they don't lift as much, but probably
more than me, some of them though. But rather this
is a shot at the heart. So I'm reading this
this morning. Let's see here, all right, well, hold on,
let me this is really important. Before I tell you
what they are. Let me get this taker bell, because

(01:31):
you're gonna want to cancel these immediately or you're a
big fat fascist ross. I don't know. If you do
either of these, who prepare yourself, you might be double canceled.

Speaker 3 (01:39):
Okay, let me go prone. I'm ready.

Speaker 2 (01:41):
Are you going prone? Okay? All right?

Speaker 1 (01:43):
Uh?

Speaker 2 (01:44):
Pilates and running.

Speaker 3 (01:48):
Yeah, no, those they're fine, they can go. Cardio is
just a hoax anyway. Like I don't believe in cardio
is stupid. Okay, to lose weights dumb?

Speaker 2 (01:58):
Okay, But do you think people who do it are fascists?

Speaker 1 (02:01):
No?

Speaker 4 (02:01):
I do not.

Speaker 3 (02:02):
Oh but I mean if if you know, if the
hammer were to come down and they were to be banned,
I wouldn't be upset over. It'd be fine.

Speaker 2 (02:08):
So first they came for the pilates, and you said nothing,
right really, because you know how this goes?

Speaker 1 (02:14):
Right?

Speaker 3 (02:15):
Pilates? Like, what is that even?

Speaker 1 (02:16):
Is that?

Speaker 3 (02:16):
I like, I don't know what that is. I do
I'm like old school, I'm a traditionalist, so I'll do
like calsthetics.

Speaker 2 (02:21):
I don't know, I don't know what plots like lazy yogurt.
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (02:25):
It sounds like socialism to me, does it?

Speaker 2 (02:28):
What's the other thing?

Speaker 3 (02:29):
The the pilates pilates polepot very similar?

Speaker 2 (02:33):
There is that a thing? Okay? Yeah, so this is
from the New York Post. If you signed up for
pilates recently, your fascism is showing through your cute matching
leggings and sports brawl. Yeah, it's just totally targeted at women.
I'm assuming pilates is a chick thing. I actually kind
of know what it is, but I that's not fair.

Speaker 3 (02:54):
But here's like I remember in the First Avengers where
Iron Man meets Captain America and they're on board the
sh and he's like, oh man, you're really you know,
in shape? What's your secret plots? And he goes and
he's talking to Steve Rodgers, who's fright.

Speaker 2 (03:06):
Who's been frozen for you know, seventy years or whatever.

Speaker 3 (03:08):
And he goes, oh, you probably don't know what that is,
like helesthetics.

Speaker 2 (03:11):
So yeah, they knew what that was. That was the
thing making the day. Oh man, Yeah, it's so stupid. Ah,
let's see here. So they interview All right, so they
interview this chick who's a fitness influencer in Washington, d C.
I'll let you guess her politics. And what does she
teach me? So she teaches well, I don't know what

(03:32):
this is. B A R R E. I see that
from time to time, and I always see women posting
a picture of themselves sitting in you know, essentially like
yoga gear, but in like a dance studio or something.
And I and like after the thing, like, just did
my bear workout? Is it bear?

Speaker 3 (03:49):
Is it about Ree?

Speaker 2 (03:50):
I don't know what it is, Bross. You're the you're
the fitness guy. I'm bouncing off of you, buddy. You
have no idea what that is either, do you?

Speaker 3 (03:58):
I don't know.

Speaker 4 (03:58):
I do.

Speaker 3 (03:59):
Remember when I worked at a radio station in Omaha, Right, yeah,
downstairs in the first floor is actually the basement. They
had like one of these like steaming yoga sort of rooms.

Speaker 1 (04:08):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (04:08):
Hot yoga, Yeah, hot yoga.

Speaker 3 (04:10):
Yes, that's what it was done in the basement. So
you leave the back and like all of these women
would just be standing there like drenched in sweat. Yeah,
so bad, so hot.

Speaker 2 (04:19):
Yeah, I will say this on Glenwood Avenue. I don't know,
I honestly, I don't know if it's still there. There
was there was like a little corner thing kind of
a kind of like a block up from the creamery
building and right on the corner it's a huge windowed building.
They put high one of those heat training centers, the

(04:41):
High Efficiency Athletic Training. I can't remember exactly what it
stands for, but it's those. It's those people are like,
let me strap some weights to me and run on
the highest setting of the U of the treadmill.

Speaker 4 (04:53):
Right.

Speaker 2 (04:53):
People were really going for it. And they had women's
classes at in the afternoon over there, man, and I'd
see these pervy dudes just going around the blocks. I
lived to to too long time since I lived there,
so I'd see these dudes like doing laps around the
bill or we're just looking for parking, Yeah you are, yeah,

(05:17):
yeah you were.

Speaker 3 (05:17):
The waighted vest vest now like the Yeah, they they're
very popular and they look like like swat sort of
like kevlar vests, and these people, especially around wake Forest,
like they'll put them on and they'll just run around
in the swat gear.

Speaker 2 (05:32):
I've seen them.

Speaker 3 (05:33):
Yeah, But You'll be driving and you'll just be doing
your thing, you know, talking to the kid or listening
to the radio, whatever, and then you look up and
you'll see somebody running your way with this vest on,
and you're like, am I am I driving into a
perilous situation like this, and you're like, oh, it's just
an idiot running around.

Speaker 2 (05:46):
Well, the usually you could pick it out because while
they may have the tactical vest, most seals aren't operating
wearing leggings, you know what I'm saying.

Speaker 3 (05:56):
So some of them is wear all black now, like
the pants are different. It's so weird, all right out
this carried out what this is? So bar?

Speaker 2 (06:06):
It is bar. Okay is a form of physical exercise,
usually conducted in group classes or gyms or specialty studios,
distinguished from other fitness because okay, so it is a
ballet offshoot, right, which is why I see these women
who post on them. They're in a ballet. How is
this different from pilates and yoga? This chick literally is

(06:28):
an instructor for its. It's it's weird, cousin, I just
hate all these people. You know what it is, and
you know, at least she's a fitness instructor. Most of
the people I see demonizing workouts are people who how
do I ross? How do I say this? Who are
normally the women online saying you're a fascist? If you

(06:49):
go to the gym, what would you? How many days
a year do you think most of the women that
we've seen in the past criticizing this probably go to
the gym.

Speaker 3 (06:56):
I would say, like, the people you're talking about are
the ones that spend ninety percent their time shoving cake
in their face hole.

Speaker 2 (07:02):
Is that not an exercise? I mean technically, I guess yeah, right, yeah,
you got to get the weight of the cake, and
it's repetitive. I mean yeah, so yeah, so at least
this uh you know, this woman does do some fitness here.
But yeah, unfortunately, if you were you're getting ready to
go for a jog a little run this morning, or
which I don't understand why you're attacking that. That's like

(07:23):
the oldest that's the oldest exercise known to man, right
because you're like, oh my gosh, it's a holy mammoth,
right run. You didn't know you were working out. You
said you're about to get gord or something. Oh say,
I'm out.

Speaker 3 (07:36):
Yeah, no, it wasn't called working out, it was called surviving.

Speaker 2 (07:39):
Yeah, well say Wyoming, we still call it that. So
actually a lot of critters man, Yeah, this is all
so dumb. So unfortunately for anyone, anyone getting ready to
go for a run this morning, maybe you're listening while
you're on a run, you're doing a fascism right now.
You just didn't know it. These people man, all right,

(08:00):
so much fun stuff to get to today. Unfortunately, Uh, oh,
Pete ain't joining us today because he I think he
had to he had to go somewhere somewhere or something
something and maybe I'm maybe I'm misremembered. So if he
does join us at eight oh five, it'll be a
surprise because I forgot to text him last night, but
I had him, I had him in my notes as
not being here, so and I didn't want to bug

(08:21):
him if he was traveling. So uh, but we'll find
out together. But don't worry. We got some good stories.
I do like the tweet. You know, normally ross those
stories we have where somebody opens their bank account the
bank made an air and you know there's like a
million dollars in there, and what do they do even
though they make you know, twenty bucks an hour, what
do they do?

Speaker 3 (08:40):
No, it's what you should do, spend it all.

Speaker 2 (08:42):
No, that's not what you should do. It's not gonna
go this one. This story today, not the bank and
quite a unique twist in the uh like if you
could pretend the bank thing, people will actively try to
pretend like it was correct or it's that's how you know,
that's what you get this one. Like the amount of
stupid you had to do here to screw yourself on

(09:05):
all fronts is truly impressive. So congratulations to this old
Florida woman. So we'll have that and we'll actually head
north for our dumbest criminal of the day. So lots
to get into six sixteen hang on Friday audition. We
we do enjoy that. So my word has been so

(09:26):
weird this morning. Okay, oh now we're cooperating. Okay, all right,
let me tell you about this chick that I referenced
before the for the break with the bank thing, just
because I think it's funny, and then we'll get into
we got we got a new book to talk about,
we got a bunch of audio to get to and oh, Disney, Disney, Disney,

(09:51):
Disney they've they've literally come for one of the I
would say, two holy grails of my childhood, and I
am not pleased, but I digress. All right, let's get
into this. So a Florida woman, Oh, you know what,
if we're gonna do this, I know it's early and

(10:13):
you're all still reeling from the fact that you can't
go you know, you can't go to pilates or go
running because you're a fascist according to lunatic leftists in Washington, DC.
But you know, let me hit you with this.

Speaker 3 (10:31):
Florida men.

Speaker 2 (10:32):
Florida man, is something in the water, the error sam
that makes you do all that crazy crap.

Speaker 3 (10:37):
It's like the state is one week dumb ass trap.

Speaker 2 (10:40):
Nowhere else has.

Speaker 3 (10:42):
The Florida Man. It is almost like as the Weird.

Speaker 1 (10:47):
Factor climbs and you find out it haven't in Florida
every time.

Speaker 3 (10:54):
Florida men, Florida.

Speaker 2 (10:55):
Man, if anyone can.

Speaker 3 (10:56):
Jeer me, if you know, you can do mine life
get crazy. But of course it's not that kind of
crazy as yours. Nowhere else are you gonna find him?
They're so used to it, they don't find him. Hooray
for Florida.

Speaker 2 (11:09):
I'm there, all right, check this out. A Florida woman
was charged with money laundering after she was overpaid by
her employer. Now, would you notice an overpayment by your employer? Well,
it depends what you do, arguably rossed. If I got
overpaid a few hundred dollars on the the middle of

(11:31):
the month check, I don't know. I don't think i'd noticed, would.

Speaker 3 (11:33):
You, uh not in the second check in the month? No,
But before in the past, when I wasn't doing as
well as I am now, you know, I would like
definitely notice like a hundred bucks missing or.

Speaker 2 (11:42):
Right or we're at it.

Speaker 3 (11:44):
Yeah, in this case, Yeah, it happened before in the
past where I'm like, you know, there's like five hundred,
six hundred extra dollars on here, what's this about? And
they're like, oh, well now you need thank you for
reporting it, and now we won't fire you.

Speaker 1 (11:56):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (11:56):
Yeah, No, I have actually had money clawed back that
they yeah, be inadvertently over paid me. Well, which is
fine because you know, they do a pretty good job
of getting it right. But it's there's a lot there's
a lot of different streams of income when you do radio,
and then they all just kind of cobble it together
at the middle of the month check so you just
it's kind of a pain to sit there and check on. However,

(12:17):
let's say, let's say you made sixty thousand dollars and
as your annual salary and in calendar year, when did
this happen? Technically it happened back in twenty twenty three,
so it's taken a while to move through. You were
paid four hundred and sixty thousand dollars. Do you think
you'd notice? Do you think you'd pick up on that?

(12:41):
I feel like you might pick up on that. But
that's this. This she's a receptionist in Florida who failed
to report, and who failed to report. Now I don't
think they're claiming that she did it. It sounds like
the company's payroll. Yeah, it's the company's payroll provider, Harbor America,
who made the air And unfortunately, by the time they

(13:05):
figured this out, she was just literally just arrested the
other day. So I don't know why it took so long,
but whatever. So by the time they figured this out,
it had been a year. So all told, they overpaid
her four hundred thousand dollars over the course of the year.
So what do you think she did? She spent it? Baby.

(13:28):
The receptionist, when confronted, said yeah, she was aware of
the overpayment. She assumed it was a bonus. Dude, I
want to work there.

Speaker 3 (13:39):
What kind of business was it?

Speaker 2 (13:42):
It's the Palm Beach et Quine Clinic, so it's a horse.

Speaker 3 (13:46):
So it's a horse place or something that's a large animal.
That that's a lot of money. You got to realize
your employer is going to pick up on that. I
know that some money's missing. It's not like you're working
for like John Musk's, you know, super AI, robot space programs.
All this money.

Speaker 2 (14:02):
It's, you know, one of those weirdos who does a
day at the office where you go into your office
all you do is eat and do nothing like those
people probably get weird bonuses. Not at the horse clinic.
That's not how that works.

Speaker 3 (14:14):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (14:15):
I will say this, she didn't blow all of it.
She spent a little over half of it though. Yeah,
here we go. The twenty nine year old who said
that she thought the money was a bonus, claimed she
had heard rumors that her predecessor, the previous receptionist, had
received a bonus for saving money on office supplies. How

(14:39):
much office supplies are you buying? And you thought four
hundred thousand was the number?

Speaker 3 (14:45):
Huh, Like when you go to your manager and be like, hey,
there's sort of a problem here, like or you'd be like, hey,
thank you so much for the bonus of all this money.

Speaker 2 (14:53):
Yeah, that's the way you handle it. You send it,
you send an email. I'm not saying that, by the ways,
it's not how you handle it. Clearly something wrong, and
if you're an adult in an adult world, then you
have an adult conversation. But if you wanted to test
the edges, I think you send an email to whoever
reads their email, the least that has authority and thank
them for the bonus, hoping that they miss it so

(15:15):
you can somehow justify it, even though that wouldn't It
was looking at some of the things this chick bought
with her four hundred thousand dollars bonus for you know,
budgeting office supplies, she bought, she bought all she bought
this stuff, you would think a woman go out and
buy like, you know, Michael Core's and coach purses and
stuff like that. Yeah, I'm generalizing, but I'm not wrong.

(15:35):
I can give you a list of dumb things that
guys would buy in this too, so just stop it.
She also bought a food truck, so at least she's
she's you know, she's capitalistically minded, right because now you
get a food truck. He can makes well, now you
don't have a food truck because they seized it.

Speaker 3 (15:51):
What kind of food truck was it?

Speaker 2 (15:53):
Argentinian? She's Argentinian, so.

Speaker 3 (15:57):
So like so like German food?

Speaker 2 (16:00):
No, I mean, yeah, there is some places in Argentina
where you get the German food. No, no, no, no, no,
argent I will tell you of all the Latin American
countries I've been to, Argentina has I mean, if you
like beef, oh they kill it down there.

Speaker 3 (16:17):
Next, the coolest part about Argentina from when I went
there is off the coat, off the coast of the beaches,
there's tons of submarines. It's super weird. Yeah, and then
then then you go up there's food trucks full of brats.

Speaker 2 (16:31):
Because I flew in right, our approach was off the
coast and then boom right into Buenos Are's, I didn't
see any subs when I looked down, so I saw
some like fishing trawlers. And stuff. But any who, all right, well,
I guess I missed that. They're just gonna say too
about Argentina out whatever. So yeah, she bought a food truck,

(16:52):
she said, a bunch of money to her family in
Argentina too, which at the time, uh, probably made them
among the wealthiest in the country based on the exchange rate.
I'm actually I'm I'm I'm glad that there, that the
dude's working out for him down there. I genuinely enjoyed
going there and meeting the people, but I'm a little
sad because the exchange was so upside down.

Speaker 4 (17:13):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (17:14):
When I went, and probably about a year before I went,
was this it like it felt like stealing. Go eat
like you'd go eat an amazing steak and had like
an amazing wine with it, because they do a lot
of wine in Argentina. And then and then it would
be like less than you pay at Jimmy John's for
the you know, the Jimmy sub there, the large one.

Speaker 3 (17:37):
I saw her port yesterday. That Mille guy. He did
really turning things around down in Argentina. It's good towards
it's really looking good.

Speaker 2 (17:44):
Yeah, I mean, it's crazy when you stopped playing all
this stupid socialists games. And the problem with Argentina is
it's it's not a country that I I this is
my mini analysis of it, and and it's not instructed
from you know, really deep diving their stuff, but just
talking to people. Most of the people I talked.

Speaker 1 (18:05):
To, like.

Speaker 2 (18:08):
Like the bartender and the where I'd eat at the hotel,
I was staying at it there like three or four times,
talking to that dude, and just some of the other
people I met down there. They they loved some Malay,
and they always thought it was stupid, and they said
that they would do all these stupid social experiments and
they were just throwing money. And the problem was Argentina
has gone through like a thousand iterations of their currency

(18:30):
just since the seventies. It's a slight exaggeration, but not really.
So it's fine. I shouldn't say it's fine to start
throwing money away, but it's a lot easier when you've
established a currency that is at least on pars, you
can do these things. And Argentina would never get there
because immediately the holdovers of the socialists that got them

(18:50):
into these problems in the first place would get into
power because they'd start promising poor people stuff and then
they would literally you'd have to block the currency Argentina did.
They'd had to do things where they essentially set up
a scam and I can't remember exactly how it worked,
where you could essentially buy things off the internet not
only for cheaper but completely duty and tax free, and

(19:13):
you never had to set foot in Argentina. It was
a whole weird thing just to get money flown through
their system. And so I put a lot of credence
in you know, that's that's one of the big problems there.
So I will see.

Speaker 3 (19:27):
You know, I was reading a where like I guess
he completely you know, because they had imposed rent controls,
like price controls on housing.

Speaker 2 (19:33):
Right, and he go, yes, yeah, yeah, this came out
the last week.

Speaker 3 (19:36):
Yeah, like talking about the experiment. The Zohan guy up
in New York running for mayors call it. Yeah, I
call him Zohan. I don't think he's gonna like that. No,
That's why I call him Sohan because he hates Jews,
so I assume that's gonna really piss him off. So anyway,
the Zohan up in New York, he's like, hey, we
need price controls on rent and stuff, and so they
did the they tried that down in Argentina, and are
you sitting down, it failed horribly. People couldn't afford housing.

(19:58):
Mille comes in and gets rid of it now, but
can afford to live again, right.

Speaker 2 (20:02):
And and I also saw that in some of the
in some of the large metro areas, the price of
rent actually stabilized lower than what it had been. So
and the reason here's why. Because if I have a
property and I can get let's say I can get
five hundred dollars for it under your wreck control, well
think about it in the in the triangle, if it's
three bedroom house. Do you think I'm gonna rent that

(20:23):
for five hundred dollars with the wear and tear and
and all of that, or do you think I may
use it as a primary I may airbnb at or
do something along those lines where I can clearly derive
more income. Well, now, if I don't have ret control
and I can get a thousand, which would be a
steal in the triangle, but or the Triad for that matter,
now I might put that property out there. So now

(20:44):
there's an extra home for long term rent on, you know,
out there and that's what you saw, and you saw
that play out. I read the same thing last week.
All right, let me, uh, can I ruin your childhood?
Or it's not me doing it?

Speaker 5 (20:59):
You know what?

Speaker 6 (21:00):
Ross?

Speaker 2 (21:00):
Well, what franchises would you say are the third rail
of don't you dare reboot this? I think chief among
them is Back to the Future. Right we agree?

Speaker 3 (21:10):
Ah, yeah, you can't touch that movie.

Speaker 2 (21:12):
You can'tuse Meccas said you can never touch it.

Speaker 3 (21:14):
Maybe Zameca said, yeah, you're never going to touch that movie.
It's never gonna hint it.

Speaker 2 (21:18):
And when I say reboot, I don't mean they did
a follow up. I mean they're going to take the
original movie or movies and redo.

Speaker 3 (21:25):
Yeah, you don't mean like a sequel, you mean like
a remake.

Speaker 2 (21:28):
I don't mean a prequel. I mean a damn remake
of what you love? And you saw it? You know,
White was was that?

Speaker 1 (21:34):
Now? Great?

Speaker 2 (21:35):
It was live action? But that's what that was the
only way. The only one I've seen that where they
really got away with it well was True Grit. I
love both those movies.

Speaker 3 (21:44):
But True Grit was okay, it was a great remake.
But yeah, the reason was they kind of like, you know,
they stayed true to the source material.

Speaker 2 (21:52):
Yeah, and they didn't even try to go like super
Edgy or everything. They're still I don't know how. I
thought it went really well, So good on the Cohen Brothers.
Good for you, uh so uh you know, uh clearly
for me, Back to the Future is the one. If
you ever tell you if you want to radicalize me
that go ahead and do that. However, we have a
problem because Disney is potentially going to reboot another franchise. Now,

(22:19):
to be fair, it is a franchise that they late
came Johnny came lately added some sequels to which we're
not great that Roger. You didn't like either of.

Speaker 3 (22:33):
The sequels, right, listen, I when it first came out,
I haven't said what it is yet, so right, I'll
say it. I hated Crystals Okay, wells st Now nobody
knows what I'm talking about. Crystal mingam Yeah, okay, so
that's fair.

Speaker 2 (22:47):
So Disney's looking at rebooting Indiana Jones.

Speaker 3 (22:52):
I don't know, man, Like when Crystal Skull first came out,
it got like, you know, a bad rep and I
hated it. I was like, what are what are aliens doing?
Here with Theana Jones. That doesn't fit. But it was
way before Ancient Aliens sort of made that theory popular.
So it came out people had no idea what the
movie is trying to say. Whereas the thing, if the
movie had come out like four or five years after
excuse me, Ancient Aliens, people would be sitting in the

(23:14):
theater and they'd go, oh, I understand what's happening here.

Speaker 2 (23:16):
I get it.

Speaker 3 (23:17):
I understand how the archaeology and the ancient astronaut theory
goes together. So I can handle this better. So I
think Crystal Skull, despite Shia lah boof swinging around vines
like a monkey, which is absolutely redicing the fridge and
hiding it right, and Indie hiding in the fridge to
escape Nuketown or whatever. Yeah, you know, I think age
age is better.

Speaker 2 (23:37):
Yeah, no, no, that's fair, that's fair. But also you
then throw the fifth iteration on top of it as
a comparison, you think Dial of Destiny is gonna age better.

Speaker 3 (23:47):
I couldn't get through that movie. He was so bad.
I couldn't. I couldn't sit through it.

Speaker 2 (23:51):
But that's not what we're talking about. We're talking about
these lunatics going in to the original three Indiana Jones
and and do you want to even predict how Disney
would handle that? I mean I'd be I'd be even
more nervous if it was Disney from three years ago.
But it's not like they've stopped, like what what's going

(24:14):
on here?

Speaker 5 (24:14):
What?

Speaker 2 (24:14):
What are we gonna do here? How do you there's
how many scenes in those three movies could you simply
you can't do today?

Speaker 3 (24:20):
No, you can't do them. But we already saw a
sort of like a you know, a version of this
in the latest movie where she's calling Indy a colonizer,
a stealer of culture, and there's all this kind of stuff,
and it's.

Speaker 2 (24:32):
They treated him like a dottery old man too. Yeah. No, No,
Temple of Doom doesn't work. There's a lot of a
lot of things in there. And yeah, and short way
you think you can do short round with that? You
can get away with that?

Speaker 3 (24:49):
Ah well, I mean just people in the fandom have
been saying for forever that they felt that the way
where the series should have went was it should have
been short rounds, him grown up, following in like in
these footsteps, so it wouldn't be Indy, right, it would
be an expansion of delivery.

Speaker 2 (25:05):
These kid you know or something something.

Speaker 3 (25:07):
Yeah, well, I think this is what they were trying
to do, a lab booth because at the end of
Crystal Skull you have INDI's hat. Comedy picks up Indy's
hat and Indy takes it away like gives.

Speaker 2 (25:14):
Because it's the scene. It's the opening scene from Last Crusade. Yes, yeah,
if you guys remember the opening scene from Last Cruise
side because I just rewatched this movie the other day
and just out of pure coincidence, well, I haven't seen
that in a while, and you know what, it holds
up so much. The opening scene is he's on that
ship with the smugglers or whatever. He's trying to get
that crossback, right or the opening opening scene is he

(25:37):
sees the guy stealing the cross when he's at like
boy scout camp or whatever, and then he goes to
tell the sheriff because he gets it. The sheriff isn't
back to the guys, and then he's on the ship
trying to get it. Bum boom boom. It's it's crazy.
But in the transition between those two scenes, when the
the I don't know, the guy, the guy who was
stealing the cross or whatever, gets it back from the sheriff.

(25:59):
He goes, you lost this time, kid, but never give up,
and he puts the hat on in the and he
dips and then it opens to him getting beat up
on that ship. That's how they start Last Crusades. You're right.
When he did that to Labouf, I immediately like, all right,
this is the direction we're going. Do you remember the
TV series Young Indiana Jones? Yeah?

Speaker 3 (26:19):
I never were kids, I do remember. I never really
got into it, though.

Speaker 2 (26:22):
Oh I thought it was great, man. I really liked.

Speaker 3 (26:24):
No, I didn't hate. I got into like hatred towards
that he just never give it a shot.

Speaker 2 (26:27):
Yeah no, no, no, no no.

Speaker 3 (26:28):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (26:28):
So like they like they were willing to pick around
the edges and now they're just like, now let's just
redo everything you love. So and you know what was
funny is I just wrote no, no, no, no, no
on there, and I kind of gave a scan because
all of a sudden, I got like one hundred there's
like one hundred likes on that, which is it's it's
it's bait, but whatever. And it was like it was

(26:49):
funny because there's some moon bad accounts on there. There's
a wr L reporter who liked it, like this seems
to this seems to be a unifying thing. Nobody wants
that except.

Speaker 3 (27:02):
And it makes you wonder who who they're gonna place,
Like who's gonna play Indy? And we kind of speculated
on this, maybe like ten years ago or whenever the
I don't know, maybe when the Crystal Skull came out,
I can't remember, but it was like, who would play
Indy and like Chris Pratt but he's in everything now,
Jeremy Renner maybe.

Speaker 2 (27:18):
But then I saw somebody in the comment said Pedro. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (27:22):
I think Jarvis on X did a post about that
where he was like, oh, what's gonna be Pedro Pascal
or whatever, which.

Speaker 2 (27:27):
By the way, is probably a pretty good guess. He's
kind of the he's kind of the the hot eyep
at the moment, did I did I tell the audience
I was on a flight with Pedro Pascal. You're sitting
and Ross was mad. I didn't go try to get
him to.

Speaker 3 (27:41):
Do this smile Oh yeah, the memes smile yeah, with
the memeless cage from that movie where they're driving the
car and Cage is like looking over and he's like
in the panic, and Pedro Pascal is a look of
like you see nothing yet.

Speaker 2 (27:52):
Yeah, I'm just looking over and like a few rows
over to the a few rows in front of me
and then off to the side of Pedro Pascal, and
I'm just like, oh, that's kind of staying a ross
like you got him do the smile. I'm like, I
don't know. I don't you lisially harass people on airplanes
for selfies so because if you do, then Mike Tyson
might punch you. And you don't want any of that, all.

Speaker 3 (28:11):
Right, wouldn't have the greatest moment of your life though,
if Mike Mike Tyson did punch you, Like I was thinking,
like who would I like to be punched, and probably
buzz Aldrin or Mike Tyson, Like you could talk.

Speaker 2 (28:22):
People no offense to buzz Aldron, but I'll take buzz Aldron.

Speaker 3 (28:24):
Yeah yeah, yeah, but I agree, yeah, because like you
probably won't die, right.

Speaker 2 (28:28):
Right, there's that yeah yeah yeah, And I like, uh,
do you like solid food?

Speaker 3 (28:32):
I like solid I do?

Speaker 2 (28:33):
Yes, Okay, all right, see look at that big fans
of that? All right? Speaking of Zohan we'll just go
with that for evers. Have you seen the video of
his former intern And I love the way that they're
playing this too, So this shit, this is insane video

(28:54):
this chick post and people are like that I was
his intern for a long time, and like and then
all the Zohan defenders are like, well, clearly she probably
you know, I don't even know if she talked to him,
and there's photos of them together, she ever talked to him, right,
how would he know what she's saying? And I'm like,
there is zero chance this chick was ever able to

(29:17):
shut her face hole about this stuff. And arguably she
probably got more radicalized working for this dude, considering who
some of the people he surrounds himself with. And we
have the audio and holy crap, that's all I'll say.
We'll get into it next here on the CaCO Day
radio program Zhan or Zohan Mandani or whatever. Nope, not

(29:39):
gonna learn it. His former intern, Hadika Alzumalik, worked for him. She,
by the way, she also was one of those who
got suspended from the cu n Y the city to
the college there in New York for you know, a

(30:00):
bunch of the stuff and frankly, that probably got her
points from her boss, so she not his intern anymore.
Because once she got suspended from college that was part
of the intern program was a problem. So she put
a video out and let's just say it's interesting. But
what's more interesting is watching people go, well, there's no
way she would have demonstrated this behavior in front of him.

(30:21):
And I'm like, there is zero chance, because remember she's
actively getting suspended as a college student for sitting in
on those protests where they wouldn't eat bagels. There's no
way she kept these thoughts to herself. But just here
we go. Tell me if you find this problematic.

Speaker 6 (30:36):
And the true believer knows that none of this is
in vain, that this is all you had, that this
is all ebada, and this is all counted for by
a pronto with data, and so the conversation of dosing,
the conversation of getting arrested and suspended. I think it's
time for Muslims to start to say, all right, all right,
so what do what you want. I'm I'm gonna do

(30:57):
what I gotta do, because that's it's it's about time
to do that. And I know everybody has their own
families and has an education and everything.

Speaker 2 (31:08):
Just a question.

Speaker 6 (31:09):
We don't want to get doxed, and we don't want
to get suspended, and we don't want to get arrested.
How gangster are you?

Speaker 3 (31:16):
That's just my questive.

Speaker 6 (31:17):
How much are you willing to do it? And I
know everyone has their own risk level, but at the
end of the day, that's a question to ask ourselves.
How committed am I to this? How to what extent
of my personal material gains am I willing to sacrifice
for this bigger, noble cause? And it's kind of love.

(31:38):
I truly believe that when your heart is in the
right place, if you get suspended, if you get docks,
because it's bound to happen when you're doing a righteous cause,
and when you're doing something for the sake of a
love here in the West, it will never ever be
in vain. And the true believer does not fear that,
because the true believer knows that the AHA is a promise.

Speaker 2 (31:57):
Yeah, okay, And then you use jihad some other stuff
in there. I don't think you mean getting docked. I
think here, I think I think in a lot of
other settings, this chick might be the one running the
camera for.

Speaker 3 (32:08):
Martyr videos, So right, she'd be sitting there like, come on, coward,
put the vest on. Are you on board with the
cause or not?

Speaker 2 (32:15):
Come on?

Speaker 3 (32:16):
Put the best boy.

Speaker 1 (32:18):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (32:18):
The North Florida and I don't mean the northern part
of Florida, but I mean West Virginia. I just found
out you guys get a two for coming up later
on the show, So we're very excited. Both involve vehicle
theft too, and probably lots of drugs. So we'll get
to those stories here in a little bit, but first,
as we continue to run down the news of the day, Dude,

(32:43):
this is diabolical right here, and it kind of like
it proves the point that maybe, just maybe we were
right to want to purge government and specifically our dollars
from these people. So there is a new group and

(33:05):
it is a group that is primarily made up of
former USAID employees, but not just USAID, but rather employees
that may have been purged from you know, the various
doze cuts and the trimmings that the Trump administration has done.
And so they've banded together and they put together an

(33:27):
organization called Democracy Aid Right Usaid, democracy Aid get It,
and they are strategized and they're plotting. But I want
you to understand what they're doing. They're not just griping
about the fact that they're NGO or any of their
projects got taken away. They've decided if they can't have it,
nobody can, meaning a functional government or government in general.

(33:51):
So it works like this. So folks who worked for
these various organizations put together this Democracy Aid and now
they are using their former rolodexes. So you know, basically
the people that they used to work with and interact
with who still work in the federal government, and they're

(34:13):
organizing invite only gatherings, meetings, cocktail hours, conferences, things like
that for the purpose of how can the people who
are still working in government sabotage government still but not

(34:33):
in such a way that they also get immediately purged.
So they basically they want them, they want them to
do a really bad job or just not their job
at all, and they want to get enough continued government
workers that it demolishes what Trump is doing. And I
don't know if they think that it will get them

(34:54):
hired back because government's not meeting whatever obligations they have.
But that's that's pathological that's what that is. Man. And
and by the way, it proves the point. Here's a
statement from the chick who organized this. Uh, take it
from this is And then by the way, this is

(35:16):
I'm sorry, this is not from a chick who This
is from a currently employed federal official who was at
one of these gatherings. He said, take it from those
of us who have worked in authoritarian countries. We've become one.
They were so quick to disband aid the group that
supposedly instigates color revolutions. They're making air quotes here, but

(35:37):
they've done a foolish thing. You just released a bunch
of well trained individuals into your population. If you kept
our offices going and had us play solitaire in the office,
it might have been safer to keep your regime. Okay,
So your threat is you fired us because you thought
that we were running revolutions, and since we and but

(35:58):
were denying that, but then we're saying, we all know
how to run revolutions, so that's what we're doing. And
rate you should have just put it in one of
those weird rubber rooms like they put the teachers that
they can't fire in New York in like you're telling
on yourself. But man, that is that is again diabolical.
Rosaria Tushi, former director of USAID Center for Democracy Human Rights,

(36:22):
is the founder and co leader of Democracy Aid. And
so this is what they're organizing, like like trying to
sabotage a business like that would be repugnant. You're trying
to sabotage the federal government. And keep in mind what
you're talking about, like, let me give you a scenario

(36:44):
where this would play out under what I hear them
describing as what they want. So take take a lever,
a lever of government who whose contributions are important contributions
and perhaps contributions that could mean the difference between injury
or life and death. So you're gonna so you want

(37:06):
the people still working there. It's just so Trump gets
blamed for something bad and an ineffective government response, like
you want to organize that, which means you're willing to
literally have people suffer so that you can make your
little political point like these are evil people, man, it's

(37:27):
what you want to form an organization that lobbies and
gets candidates in there that you know, try to get
USAID back. I understand that. I understand, although I think
that you'll never get that organization back, not with everything
that we learned. But it doesn't mean they won't add it.
If Democrats get control of everything ten years down the road,
that they won't start adding this crap back. But they're

(37:48):
not going to call it that and it probably won't
be the same way. But no, you want you want
the current workers of government to essentially sit around, Oh,
I'll get that to you tomorrow, and there's procrastinate and
not do anything for the purpose of having something happen
that reflects poorly on Trump. The whole point is to

(38:10):
start off slow. People are just taking coffee breaks together
and that's where they're encouraging them to do this. You know,
this is the way they recruit terrorists too. I don't
know if you know this. This is terrorists recruit one
on one, right, They go up into it could be
a mosque or it could be and it doesn't have
to be Muslim stuff. But that's just an example. It's

(38:31):
also the way that they recruit people for hate groups.

Speaker 3 (38:34):
Slowly.

Speaker 2 (38:36):
You don't just show up and you're like, hey, you
want to go lynch somebody? No, no, no, no, no,
You ease them into it.

Speaker 3 (38:43):
This is class.

Speaker 2 (38:44):
It's how you ease people into criminal behavior too.

Speaker 3 (38:47):
I was going to say this how they do cults, right,
And that's.

Speaker 2 (38:49):
How they do cults. Absolutely, it works in all these
instances where you're doing something you know you probably shouldn't
be doing, and you're just you're giving a public interv
you about it. Daniel Ree, former usa ID diplomat, said,
the other face of democracy leadership has set up an
encrypted chat on signal called keep the Community Together, or

(39:11):
they are actively discussing plans to undermine the US government.

Speaker 3 (39:16):
Quote.

Speaker 2 (39:17):
We start with robust, good conversations, and then we realized
that that was not going to bring about a quick
enough incident, so we had to a ramp it up
and start organizing for the long haul. One of the
main features they're using. I can't make this up. So
remember they were offended being accused of essentially being CIA projects,
which I, by the way, I firmly believe that USAID

(39:40):
it was a combination of projects that were not right,
Like there are legit there were legitimate things being done
through the USAID, whether you think we should be doing
them or not. They weren't inherently criminal. They were like
you know, some of these medical programs and things, but
they were put in there because they were at Avenue

(40:01):
in case any of the intelligence agencies needed to operate
within there. And yes, they can say that they don't
operate within the diplomatic channels, and that's important, but it's
also BS and UH and relief workers you're not supposed to,
you know, like with Red Cross and some of these others.
One of the things that is inherently important for them

(40:23):
were doctors without borders, where you have folks that go
in to really really bad places, is you can't have
a whisper that it's being used for CIA purposes. But
then when you couple the diplomacy with that stuff, things change.

Speaker 3 (40:36):
Yeah, especially a lot of like the weird stuff we
were learning about, because yeah, it has affected actual things
like RTI here and Raleigh was really affected by it.
Like I've known several people that work there. Yeah, like
eighty percent. I've heard from somebody they finally found a job,
thank god, but eighty percent of their like their funding
was through us AID. Yeah, Like dude, when that went
when Trump, you know, made those cuts, there were serious

(40:58):
cuts made there as well. So I mean, yeah, there
you have to you have to have stuff that is
on the up and up right, so that you can
have stuff that's not on the opp But when it
comes to like trans you know, operas in Burma or whatever,
we were funding like that kind of stuff.

Speaker 2 (41:12):
It was Columbia. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (41:15):
Yeah, it's a little sus you know what I mean,
it is a little sus It's a lot sus Man.

Speaker 2 (41:19):
And so it's like and so the how are they
training people to be subversive? They're using the official CIA
subversive pamphlet called Simple Sabotage. So they're literally using CIA
training documents, which by the way, that's not a private
you can go you go look it up if you
want to. It's called Simple Sabotage. I think it was
also part of the Anarchist Cookbook, remember that back in

(41:41):
the day Ross the Anarchist Cookbook.

Speaker 3 (41:44):
Yeah, No, wasn't that other thing Like if you were
to check it out of the library or whatever, like
they would, you'd be put on a list.

Speaker 2 (41:49):
Well you had to get like you could get a PDF.
I remember getting a hold of a PDF when I
was in high school and looking at it, and it
was funny too, because a lot of it was like
there's a bunch of survival stuff in there too. Like
I'm like, I think they teach some of this stuff
in the Boy Scouts. But then it's like, oh, also,
here's how to make a dirty bomb.

Speaker 3 (42:06):
So yeah, I remember when they referenced that in the
movie seven where they was talking about like you know,
they had like some sort of way they would catgalog,
like catalog some of these like books that were taken out.
They were like, y, yeah, you're like why you're looking
at that book. We're gonna look at you now.

Speaker 2 (42:20):
Absolutely, So like everything I just heard from the people
being interviewed, like that's the reason most of you were
let go. You're an unstable Your first reaction is not
just to be a vocal critic of it, to organize
get people elected, but to literally put together your own
color revolution.

Speaker 3 (42:40):
But like like sleeper cells and stuff, what are you doing, Yes, that's.

Speaker 2 (42:44):
What you're doing. So like I'm so glad you don't
work there anymore. That's my reaction. I'm like, wow, we
dodged a bullet there. You're unstable. Let's see confuscation, delay, undermining.
If you're one of the twenty percent of people and
you think these tactics and techniques are going to help.

(43:06):
They will not. I will run right over you. That's
the new FEMA director, or add the acting FEMA director
at the time, David Richardson. So that was in May
when they were already addressing this. So this is Yeah,
it's been going on for a little while. But you know,
give me a break. You should have just kept us on.
Should have just kept us on to play solitaire and

(43:27):
do nothing rather than fire us, because now we're going
to turn all of our literal terrorists and CIA skills
against you that we claim we don't have. Dude, you're
telling on yourself. All right, seven eighteen Here on the
Kcoday radio program Washington Post. I can't even I could
call it a clown show officially for the story I'm

(43:48):
going to share. And I don't know if you saw
what Elon Musk was mentioned about Grock and his other products.
I don't know how I feel about that. This we'll
get into all that coming up here on the CaCO
Day radio program, Don Musk revealing yesterday that Grock WI
the new Groc just got released KROC four And then

(44:11):
what did I have to watch yesterday? All of the
people who were really, really pumped about the mecha hitler
stuff who were spending their entire afternoons trying to get
groc the say mean things about and then you could
be Jewish, could be black, Hispanic, even white people right
because people are pushing back, and it was just like
this is where we are now. You have a bunch

(44:32):
of lewit fringe lunatics on social media who have all
their little segments or groups that they hate for whatever reason,
that run the political spectrum. I might point out who
burned half of a day yesday trying to get in
ananimate object to say the insults that you say on the.

Speaker 3 (44:51):
Regular, right, so then they can post to be like
sie see groc doos.

Speaker 2 (44:56):
And again I saw it. I saw it literally where
somebody got it to criticize APAX, like ah, look he
hates the Jews, and then some crime statistics like ah
he gets it, uh because I look at all the
black people in Chicago. And then uh, another guy who
got a white supremacist was trying to get Grok to
talk about how a bunch of white dudes doing mass
shootings and they got that accomplished, and so like, if

(45:19):
that's your hobby, you need a new hobby.

Speaker 3 (45:23):
I mean really, if you work on it enough, you
can have Groc answer your question or you know, see
your point of view and make a post about it,
and then you can screenshot and be like see. I
mean I've done that before. I tried to get Gro.
I said, hey, Groc, what is Akham's Razor Ramone? And
he was okay, and he was like, I have no
idea what that is that there's Akham's raisin. I said, no, no, no,
It's called Okham's Raisor Ramone. And I talked to Groc

(45:44):
for probably like thirty forty minutes, and finally he admitted what.

Speaker 5 (45:47):
It was like.

Speaker 3 (45:48):
He told me what it was like, I taught it
what it was.

Speaker 2 (45:51):
Did you get it right?

Speaker 3 (45:52):
He did? Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (45:53):
Can you imagine me a razor ramone and you you know,
or a razor ramone fan uh And you're like, you know,
I'm gonna use Groc for the first time. Tell me
about ramon.

Speaker 3 (46:03):
That was my goal?

Speaker 2 (46:04):
Yeah, yeah, Like I did not know that, Yeah, yeah, yeah, yes, no,
you're absolutely right. But you were using it to have fun.
That's the difference right there, right.

Speaker 3 (46:17):
My goal was one day just to be able to
hop on and be like, hey, Grok, tell me about
Akham's raises the ramone and he would tell me what
what I thought?

Speaker 2 (46:23):
Yeah, and you would be proud of yourself well harming nobody.
So Elon Musk says, hey, uh so, uh, here's what
we're gonna do with Groc. Why don't we stick it
into Tesla vehicles soon, which you probably want to get
this thing all worked out, and by the way, it's
not going to stop there. He also wants to put
it in those the robot that.

Speaker 3 (46:44):
Yeah, that's what he was saying, that the end goal
is to put the brain of Groc into his robots.
So you would have this thing walking around your house
that's supposed to be folding laundry, that's like a super
genius that's definitely not going to turn on you and
kill you. Wow, Like in every movie ever.

Speaker 2 (47:00):
Can you imagine if your Will Stancil? Yeah, dude, feel
Will Stancil. By the way, remember I told you the
story yesterday where they got Grock to design an entire
rate fantasy of this left wing poster, including how to
break into his house and get rid of his body.

Speaker 1 (47:16):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (47:16):
Yeah, I saw an interview with him too, and he
showed up to an interview in cargo shorts. It's just
so weird. Sorry, guys, we don't look good in cargo shorts.
I'm thirty five here on the CaCO Day radio program.
Like I said, we got to West Virginia two for
coming up. That's exciting. I love this. I love this story. Ross.

(47:39):
What is the prevailing knowledge or theory as to why
Kamala Harris's campaign selected Tim Walls over Josh Shapiro and
in this case Senator Kelly from Arizona. What was the
leading theory?

Speaker 3 (47:55):
Well, you went when that happened, right because they thought
it was going to be Shapiro, but then went the
opposite way, and people then were like, oh, well, she
doesn't want to piss off the far left part part
portion of a party who are like free Palestine. So
you can't go with the jew right, We're gonna go
with Tim Walls because he's gonna be able to relate
to men and get that white man vote right, which
clearly he which a general Jazz hands could not do. Ah.

Speaker 2 (48:18):
He was so close though, right, so close. Yeah, it's
a big football fan. I don't know if you know,
there's got to run that pick six man run gets
him every time. He met that on offense. By the way,
just super clear the defense. Yeah you want to run
all the pick sixes, you can't. Right, he met that
on offense. He's special. Uh No, wasn't that, I guess.

Speaker 1 (48:40):
So.

Speaker 2 (48:42):
According to a new book on Joe Biden's presidential or
excuse me, on the end of Joe Biden's presidential campaign,
in the Birth of Harris's Right, so that transition. Uh,
there's a chapter where they're talking about the selection process
for Tim Walls, and basically, according to the book, they
brought in Tim Walls Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro and Arizona

(49:04):
Senator Mark Kelly. I remember them mentioning his name. I
think the problem with Kelly is the dude basically after
his astronaut days, he parlayed that into some really questionable
Chinese ventures where there was a lot of technology. And
as you know, in China, if you're a company that

(49:24):
is based out of China, the governments is, oh, you
have to openly allow them to basically meddle within your business.
So now you have a guy that was trained within
the space program who is working on you know, space
level technology, and he's doing ventures with China. I feel
like that would have come up even if it didn't
get a lot of traction in Arizona. But whatever, so

(49:48):
they bring him up, and you know, this is one
of those weird stories that you always you'll hear some
CEO talk about how they used to identify people, and
it's usually never what you think, like, oh, no, you
have performance reviews, any of that. I would look for somebody,
and then they would insert something that actually makes sense
when you think about it. You know, for all the
bastardization and the things that we do for CEOs, oh

(50:15):
they're all evil, a lot of them are really really
smart man. And look, I had an opportunity to sit
down with Jack Welch. I don't know if you guys
remember Jack Welch from GM. Dude, that talking to that
guy was that was some of the That was some
of the most useful twenty minutes of my life ever,
because like, the guy had a lot of good advice,
and there's a lot of people like that, and it's

(50:37):
always interesting to get the perspective. This thing I'm gonna
describe is the dumbest version of that. Okay, all right,
you ready, So they brought him up. I don't know
where they brought DC or New York or somewhere, and
then they sat him down for interviews. Okay, and there,
you know, what do you think of this? Were your

(50:58):
strengths any of that. But the dividing line, according to
the book, and I don't know if I believe this,
is they asked each of them if they want something
to drink, and the both Kelly and Shapiro opted for

(51:18):
a bottle of water, but Tim Walls asked for a
diet mountain dew. Why are you laughing? Did you not
read this into the story?

Speaker 3 (51:28):
I just assume when you said that, Ila, I'm gonna
order a bottle of jet, because I'm a man, you know.

Speaker 2 (51:33):
No, he ordered diet mountain dew, and according to the book,
Harris staffers became excited because they realized they wanted to
reach out to Middle America, which is wildly insulting because
they just assume everyone in Rule America just chugs the
diet mountain dew, which it is good to mix with moonshine.
I will tell you that. But anyway, yeah, that's why

(51:54):
I chose him, and not the Jewish.

Speaker 3 (51:55):
Stuff that is so dumb. I mean, Shapiro the time
was going to be the guy you wanted to get, right,
because he was the governor, a popular governor of a
much more important state of Pennsylvania. There is no path
for her to win that I know of, but without Pennsylvania. Correct, Yes,
I remember when that happened. I'm like, what is she doing?

(52:16):
And to go at Tim Walls from Minnesota after everything
that happened in Minneapolis, when the city was spurning, what
are you doing?

Speaker 2 (52:23):
Well? Harris also allegedly found Shapiro to motivated, right, because
you know, that's the whole thing, which, by the way,
is really funny because if she had, if she believes
the whole the old canard that you never want to
have a VP who's more popular, more likable than you,
and then she went that way, then she is admitting
that she's an idiot compared to Joe Biden, which holy hell, man,

(52:46):
I wouldn't want that. Yeah, she found him quote he
came across as overly ambitious according to the book here,
while Walls was quote deferential, showed no interest to himself,
denied any interest in actually running for president, And the
final dividing line was the drinks. It's just just the

(53:10):
dumbest thing possible. Oh, he drinks the dew, the diet
Mountain dew.

Speaker 3 (53:14):
And did you say the middle America or middle class?

Speaker 2 (53:17):
They just they describe it as rule in Middle America.
I mean, I would say a lot of those people
are really hard working people that actually have like blue
collar jobs, and they tend to drink a lot of water. Yeah,
or if they drink soda tube. But like, I'm not voting, dude,
would you ever consider voting for somebody if they drink
whatever your favorite drink is.

Speaker 3 (53:36):
No, that's absolutely insane.

Speaker 2 (53:39):
I would be It would be insulting to me that
you would assume that you would get my vote because
I saw the guy do the do By the way,
do you know about the Mountain Dew conspiracy? Have you
ever ever?

Speaker 3 (53:51):
I don't, but I want to hear about it.

Speaker 2 (53:52):
Oh my gosh, Oh, you've never gotten down this rat
in this rabbit hole.

Speaker 3 (53:56):
You know, when I was a kid. When I was
a kid in the eighties, we east, you know, my
dad would take us. It was a big treat. Ready
to go to Pizza Hut back in the day. We
talked about this before pizza hut was like an experience
in the eighties. It was down yes today, and you
had the lighting and like the lamps over the tables,
and you had the salad bar. And but my dad,
every single time, big Pitcher Mountain Dew every single time.

Speaker 2 (54:18):
Okay, all right, so here the Mountain Dew conspiracy is
this Every time Mountain Dew releases a new flavor right
after something horrible happens. You've never heard this?

Speaker 3 (54:31):
No, No, give me an example. What you got? Uh?

Speaker 2 (54:34):
So, let's see Code Red. Do you know when Code
Red was initially?

Speaker 3 (54:38):
Yeah, don't tell me. Nine to eleven?

Speaker 2 (54:40):
No, a month before? Okay, yeah, so then matt nine
to eleven happened, Maui burst. What do you think happened
right after that?

Speaker 3 (54:50):
Is that the Maui fires?

Speaker 2 (54:51):
You are correct once?

Speaker 3 (54:53):
Yeah, pitch Black. It's gotta be a power outage or something. Yeah,
it was that.

Speaker 2 (55:00):
Large crowd strikeoutage that basically shut down business for two
days and all the all across the East Coast.

Speaker 3 (55:05):
And most of your well you know where this dumb
theory is gonna go.

Speaker 2 (55:08):
They just you know, they're releasing a brand new Mountain
Dew like this week.

Speaker 1 (55:12):
No, what is it?

Speaker 2 (55:12):
Called it's something like it's only gonna be available at
Little Caesar's or something. Hold on, what's the news.

Speaker 3 (55:17):
It's not called like Hayes Death Purple or something.

Speaker 2 (55:20):
No, it's called it's called ros Do. Yeah, yeah, dang
it all right, hold on. Yeah, they're actually releasing two
new flavors, dragon Fruit, oh my god. Oh no, that's
gonna be awful, and Summer Freeze. Let's see. Oh, Baja

(55:46):
Blast was before the Big that was released before the
big explosion there in Lebanon by the way, too, so
it's it's not Baja but whatever. But no, they're also
doing they're doing one specifically for Little Caesars. I don't
know where it is. And then they're also doing a
Cabo Citrus. So they got a bunch of new flavors
coming out. So the dragon Fruit one's interesting, Like, I mean,

(56:10):
something's gonna catch on fire or something with that, right,
I mean dragons?

Speaker 1 (56:13):
Right? Sure?

Speaker 2 (56:14):
Yeah, like, oh, it's a fissure in the earth opened
up and here come all the dragons.

Speaker 3 (56:19):
But you know where this dumb theory is gonna go, right, Like,
but because you got a lot of this like anti
semitism right now, and you're gonna have these people. It's
probably it's where it stems from, Like, oh, you know
who owns the soda company? You know, it's in control
of all.

Speaker 2 (56:31):
Of this young brand.

Speaker 3 (56:32):
You're saying, I'm noticing things. That's what they're gonna say.

Speaker 2 (56:34):
Are you noticing I'm not?

Speaker 1 (56:35):
Gro Is?

Speaker 3 (56:36):
Oh? Man, Notice he fled to Argentina, So oh okay
to be with a Vita. So that's nice, good for them.

Speaker 2 (56:44):
Yeah, there's a I just I don't have the full
run down here, but there's a bunch of there's a ton.
There's a ton of these coincident. But the Maui thing
and the Code red and the Pitch black. Oh no, man,
take it for whatever that conspiracy theory is worth. All right?
Since Ray has also fled to Argentina, who do we
got in today? That Jeff Mar Jeff Barr, Hey, Jeff Mar,

(57:08):
how you doing today, sir? Doing great? How are you?
We're just talking Mountain dew conspiracy, So very important stuff
going on this morning.

Speaker 3 (57:15):
Yeah, we do not need new flavors during hurricane season.

Speaker 2 (57:18):
No, because I don't know do you know about the
Mountain new conspiracy?

Speaker 5 (57:20):
I just heard that.

Speaker 2 (57:21):
Yeah yeah, yeah, So well summer freeze, So are we
gonna Are we gonna freeze? That's one of the new flavors.

Speaker 5 (57:27):
Yeah, we could use some cold weather, but unfortunately that's
not the case.

Speaker 2 (57:31):
I'll take dry weather. You know, we got a bunch
of our audience in Meban it just doesn't have a
water and they don't even have a timeline for it,
like we don't need anything else.

Speaker 4 (57:38):
Man.

Speaker 5 (57:39):
Well, Fortunately the coverage rain will be certainly lower than
it's been earlier this week, ninety two though the high
today and the heat index around one oh two, and
we'll start off with sunshine, just a few isolated thunderstorms,
but even though they will be isolating in nature, any
storms that do pop up could produce some brief heavy
down port, so they'll keep it on that radar this
afternoon tonight, clear down to seventy four a sunny star
force tomorrow before a few afternoon storms developed ninety four,

(58:02):
the high once again a triple digit, heated decks and
then showers and thunderstorms. An increase in coverage into Sunday
afternoon with the high around ninety three, and we'll still
be dealing with showers and storms to begin the week Monday,
with behind your ninety two degrees.

Speaker 2 (58:13):
All right, Jeff, we're talking an hour, sir, so let
me know if we are get to freeze, okay or dragons?
All right, thank you, and we will be right back
having a big soda discussion there off the air. So
but no, I was just gonna add this, like that
whole revelation that one of the deciding factors for taking
Tim Walls versus Shapiro, which by the way, I don't believe.
I think it was all about his last name being

(58:36):
Shapiro and he can't convince me otherwise. Was this idea,
the whole idea that you would pick somebody because they
took a diet mountain dew over a bottle of water.
Is like, that's like as anticlimactic as the end of
Batman's Superman spoiler where they're like, our mothers have the
same name. Let's stop trying to murder each other. But

(58:58):
dumb for different reasons. I guess check this out here
we go. You know, you know how sometimes you call
the Washington Post a clown show and you're like, oh,
what a clown show over there. Well you're more right
than you know, And what is this is just childish journalism.
I just want to point this out. So yesterday they
had an editorial by guy by the name of Tim

(59:20):
Cunningham entitled Donald Trump is not a clown. I should
know why because he's a clown, a professional clown. Yes,
he castigates Trump critics. You refer to the president as
a clown. So I guess his feelings are hurt. I

(59:42):
don't know. This is how stupid this thing is.

Speaker 3 (59:46):
I saw yesterday. I thought it was like AI generated
or like a satire piece.

Speaker 2 (59:50):
Yeah you would, wouldn't you. You'd be like, oh, yeah,
penny Wise is not happy with And by the way,
you don't want penny Wise not happy. That's the dude
from it. I guess you didn't know.

Speaker 1 (01:00:03):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:00:03):
So he's had several examples, including kick out the Clowns
organized last June by critics of Trump's parades celebrating the
Army's two fiftieth his TACKI and blah blah blah. He goes.
Clowns demand years, if not a lifetime of study. And
by the way, I'm not going to hack on people
who are professional clowns. I know some of you may
be creeped out about it. Somebody who is if you're rush,

(01:00:24):
I'm sure you've been to a circus, right. Uh No.

Speaker 3 (01:00:27):
So when I worked at the Magic Shop as a kid,
like we would do you know, birthday parties in the
back room and stuff, and there was like tons of
like professional clowns that would come through and buy their
stuff and like their their magic props and stuff like that.
And they're really talented, man, they put a lot of
work into it.

Speaker 2 (01:00:39):
Yeah, absolutely, So I don't like, I get it, but
the whole premise of this is dumb because it's it
would be one thing if he's just like, hey, can
you stop referring to Donald Trump and people around him
as clowns because I'm a clown and I do a
lot of which is fine. And by the way, clowns
also permeate one of my favorite and ell skits in

(01:01:01):
the modern history brass. You know the one I'm talking about,
which one where Louis c k is the clown is
Oh yeah, yeah yeah. Isn't that like where the guy
hires him to do like a like a birthday party,
thinks it's a kid's birthday party. It's just lonely Louis case.

Speaker 3 (01:01:16):
Yeah, he knocks in the door and he's like here,
I'm here for the clown gig. And this is like
one guy sit in a chair.

Speaker 2 (01:01:21):
Drink a beer. He even goes to the bathroom. It
leaves the door open.

Speaker 3 (01:01:24):
He just sits down. He's like, all right, go ahead,
and all of.

Speaker 2 (01:01:28):
A sudden, the cloud's like, I'm getting murdered. It's a
great skit, is it. Bobby moynihan is the clown. And
then another like some chick dressed as like aerial shows
up and he's like, you don't want this, and it
slams the door in her face. It's a great skit.
But Louis c Case just it's just perfect. It's like
every now and then snl still nails it. That's one

(01:01:49):
of them. But yeah, no, this guy's honestly upset. He says,
nothing in the president's record qualifies Trump for the title
of clown because clowns share the common value of healing, empathy,
and reflection. Well except for the murder clowns, Sir, there
are those.

Speaker 3 (01:02:05):
Yeah, I'm looking at this cup right now. It's the
It's got a picture on the left side of John
Wayne Gacy and it's in black and white, and on
the right side it's a picture of I believe that's
you and on the and then it has a crawl
like text in the bottoms to it, says John Wayne Casey.
So is that the one you're talking at? The murder
clown John Wayne Gacy, Right.

Speaker 2 (01:02:21):
He is one of the murder clowns. I was more
referring to the the imaginary ones, like the Penny Wises
or that weird Summer of the Murder Clowns, or I
think is another series.

Speaker 3 (01:02:33):
I still believe that was marketing for that movie. We'll
putting my mug on a cup. That was the prophet myself.

Speaker 2 (01:02:43):
Yeah, because remember they were also having red balloons tied everywhere.

Speaker 3 (01:02:45):
Stop it, just stop it.

Speaker 2 (01:02:47):
No, that was purely for Ross's game. So it's a
very capitalistic, selfish endeavor. But yeah, so he just wants
you to know that you can't do it. And by
the way, he then goes, this is how woke this
guy is. He then goes in to start talking about
how it's also insulting to Native Americans because the Sue
people have what's known as ochete saka wigs. I'm gonna

(01:03:10):
there's like nine Tildy's on to pronounce it. Who celebrate,
so like, clowns are not even an America or a
white thing. They emanate from Native Americans, which, by the way,
is not true. They may have their version of it,
but clowns and even mimes pre date, you know, the
settling of the Americas. So I don't want to hear

(01:03:31):
about that. But anyway, so he writes this really woke thing,
just saying, hey, when you call somebody a clown and
they're not an actual clown, you're insulting clowns. So not AI,
just one of those super weird articles. So instead, Cunningham
came to the conclusion that he would like anyone who
would refer to and I noticed he only says Trump

(01:03:53):
because you know, people also call people right. People on
the right also call people on the left clowns, and
they post that meme of the guy getting ready in
the clown makeup, like that's everywhere for everybody. But he
doesn't address that. He says, instead, please use the word buffoon.
It's Friday and it is our number three. But he's off.

(01:04:13):
I don't know what he's doing. He's doing something, so
he's not here, but we'll chat with him again next week,
which is good because I got another story we got
to get into. This doesn't just go for Wake County schools.
It pretty much goes for any public school district in
the state of North Carolina. What is the number one
thing they tell you that they always need? What is

(01:04:36):
the number one thing whenever you listen to the board
meetings or any of the campaigns for different things. What
is it they tell you in a lot of instances,
And it's not every employee, but it's the general consensus
among leadership.

Speaker 1 (01:04:52):
What is it?

Speaker 2 (01:04:53):
What is the one thing If they had it, it
would just make everything better? Ross you know what? It
is the one thing that school districts constantly claim that
they need the school. Public school advocates always say that
they're lacking.

Speaker 3 (01:05:04):
What is it? Money?

Speaker 2 (01:05:06):
Money? Correct, And don't get me wrong, money is useful,
but it's you know, it's what I hear screamed about
whenever they talk about vouchers, like, oh, that's the kid's money,
and it's like, yeah, it's actually the taxpayer's money, including
the guy who's kid he's paying for, and then he
putshooses to put over in a private school or for
kids who parents don't have any money, have negative tax liability,

(01:05:27):
but are trapped in some of these horrible schools. So
they're willing to enter things like lotteries just to get
into you know, charter schools or private schools. The money,
money is what we need and it is always at
the forefront. So with that in mind, the fact that
you folks over at Wake County Schools are willing to

(01:05:51):
forego eight point one million dollars in federal funding so
you don't have to stop teaching a thing you only
started teaching like five to ten years ago. Anyway, I
don't ever want to hear you whine about money. I
don't want to hear it anymore. So Wake County has
found themselves notified that the some eight point one million

(01:06:13):
in federal funding is going to be withheld for the
district because they won't give up on the DEI stuff.
And by the way, these monies are Title two, three,
and and for money and so so Title one is

(01:06:35):
direct special ed funding. Twos supporting effective instructions. So now
you're dealing with students. There's a little bit of crossover.
You're dealing with students who are struggling. Title three is
English Language Acquisitions, so these are EESL students, and then
title for is students Support in Academic Enrichment, which is

(01:06:55):
kind of tied in with the title two there So
these are arguably among the most vulnerable students in the
school district. These are supplemental moneys that come in and
rather than having that eight point one million dollars to
continue to pay for these things, instead, Wake County would
rather cram DEI garbage down your kid's face than get

(01:07:18):
the federal dollars. I want you to understand their priority.

Speaker 3 (01:07:20):
You know, it's absolutely crazy because I've had people say
to me, like, you know, like on social media, like
direct messages, and they're trying to like take a jab
at me, and they're like, oh, you probably feel stupid
because you voted for Trump and now he's doing this
to your special needs child in Wake County. I'm like,
Trump isn't doing this. The county is doing this because
they're not. They refuse to stop doing the DEI crap,
which I want to end right you're.

Speaker 2 (01:07:42):
Doing and the majority and the majority of North Carolinians
want to end.

Speaker 3 (01:07:45):
By the way, yeah, stop it with this crap. But
you're the one doing it because apparently my kid doesn't
mean anything to you, that's the way that this should
be spun, because that's the reality of what's going on.

Speaker 2 (01:07:55):
Absolutely one percent. Uh and and I saw a stat
and this actually was surprise because it's increased quite a
bit since I last looked at it. Do you know
the percentage of students in North Carolina that do not
go to a traditional public school?

Speaker 3 (01:08:09):
Ross?

Speaker 2 (01:08:09):
Do you know what that number is? Top of your head?

Speaker 3 (01:08:11):
No idea?

Speaker 2 (01:08:13):
What would you guess that are non traditional go to
private eye?

Speaker 3 (01:08:16):
I don't know, Like.

Speaker 2 (01:08:18):
It is twenty five percent, it used to be twelve percent.
And shockingly, well I'll say COVID was the big driver
for it, but expansion of voucher programs all this, so
you have you already have a fourth of the students
and and almost fifteen percent more gone gone And and look,

(01:08:39):
I understand making the math work when you have a
bunch of built facilities that have a certain set of
mound house a certain number of students, and then you have,
you know, people leaving where you have to then combine
schools or do you know do these things that drive
parents nuts but financially need to be done. This is
an easy one. Stop pushing the DEI garbage and then
you're eight point one million shows. And by the way,

(01:09:00):
there's more money. There's more money uh being withheld. Those
are just frozen funds to start off the school year.
Currently one hundred and sixty nine million is being withheld
across the state. Now not in all counties, as most
counties that did this have decided not to do it
anymore because they didn't want they didn't want the funding
to stop, and they said, all right, well, it's more

(01:09:23):
important that kids with IEDs and special needs, kids that
are e sl kids that are struggling academically, that that
money comes in there for me IP what I say, Wow,
I don't know. Are they making stuff for Science Fair?
Could be worse.

Speaker 3 (01:09:39):
They could have said, IUDs, and they got to learn
about Palestine? You know what I'm saying.

Speaker 2 (01:09:43):
See, this is the problem, this is this is yeah,
So this is on. This is on Wake County leadership.
Every parent in Wake County schools and they're not again
they're not the only one, but these are the ones
that I have the numbers for right now. Every parent
in Wake County schools who has ever been asked to, hey,
do you want to contribute for this? We need to

(01:10:04):
do a fundraiser for that. Every time that comes up,
you need to ask any anyone in the school, well,
hold on, what about the eight point one million that's
just sitting there. If you stop trying to indoctrinate my
kid for five minutes, that's it. If they ask you
for money, tell them, I know where eight point one
million dollars is. Word it like that, like, actually, how

(01:10:25):
about eight point one million? Would that be helpful for
your fundraiser? And watch the administrator's eyes get real big,
and then explain all you have to do is not
make my kid out to be original, sin evil as
part of a teaching program that drives a wedge between
students because you have to have DEI garbage shoveled in here.
You remember during the early days of DEI, where everyone

(01:10:47):
pretended that it wasn't a thing. You'd have all these
posters day.

Speaker 3 (01:10:51):
And it's always the evolution of it. That's the way
it goes. Yeah, they deny it, and then they admit it,
but then they admit, yeah, it's happening, but it's a
good thing. And then if you're now, if you're against it,
you're a horrible pain in an YadA YadA YadA.

Speaker 2 (01:11:01):
Yeah, yeah, so yeah, you should cut any of you
if you're in Wake County schools, tip them off, let
them know there's eight point one million, and there will
be more money, by the way, because this isn't a
one time deal. As long as they want to keep
it up. The Trump administration is going to keep it up.

Speaker 3 (01:11:17):
This is on them.

Speaker 2 (01:11:18):
This is on those people. Yeah, giving up the thing
they say they need the most money. If they're not
allowed to cram DEI garbage down your kids throats, that's yeah,
that's where we are, man. So if any fundraisers any
of that, they want to bring up, this is what's
going on, all right eight eight eight nine three four

(01:11:38):
seven eight seven four lottery mind. I don't want to
hear any of it. I don't want to hear any anything.

Speaker 1 (01:11:46):
Now.

Speaker 2 (01:11:46):
I don't have kids, but it doesn't mean obviously I
don't contribute to the schools, right, So from a tax person,
I don't want to hear it. I don't want to
see ballot initiatives. I don't want to see any of
this garbage. If you are so rich that you can,
because this is how you know what it is, this
is how this works. Ready so it's just like your life.
It's just like your life, all right, So you know,

(01:12:09):
think of it like this. In your life, there are
priorities and then there are extravagances that come with largess, right,
and that's the way that it should be. Unfortunately society
these days we get people who can't be affording stuff
out there financing just the craziest crap. Just listen to
an episode of Dave Ramsey. Man, but like this, if

(01:12:33):
you're hurting for money, that you would turn down eight
million for what is arguably an extravagance, And that's a
very polite way of describing it. You need to call
Dave Ramsey Wait County Schools, have him line you out. Man.
Trust me, this is not one of the proper envelopes.
But you know, God got to protect the indoctrination because

(01:12:54):
it's important for the cause. Comrade all right? Eight eight
eight nine three four seven an eight seven four? Does
that Does that change any parents who thought maybe just
maybe try, you know, they'd be insane. They get to
say no to this money, and you kind of hoped
that they would purge this DEI stuff, which it doesn't
look like they're going to do. They're gonna do a
hiring freeze, and you're gonna see a series of stories

(01:13:16):
basically ignoring this, talking about how all we have good
teachers that are getting fired or non renewed or any
of the rest of these things, which may be the case.
Which may be the case, especially when you get into
seniority stuff and things like that. I've seen it happen, right,
And you know.

Speaker 3 (01:13:32):
These these you know, they're like, oh, well, you know,
we're not activists. We're teachers. You know, it's not political.
We're doing it for the kids.

Speaker 2 (01:13:38):
Yeah, why do you have that fist on your Shirt's?

Speaker 5 (01:13:40):
Okay?

Speaker 3 (01:13:41):
Right, right, Well, well, how come you won't remove this stuff?
Oh well, because secretly we're activists. Yeah a lot of
us are, not all of them, but a lot of it.

Speaker 2 (01:13:48):
But they're they're flush activists because they don't need eight
point one million. So that's, you know, good for them,
don't need that money. Bad for your kids, but you know,
good for them.

Speaker 1 (01:13:56):
All right.

Speaker 2 (01:13:57):
At eight sixteen, hang on, grab a quick phone. Call
it here, Kevin, what's up?

Speaker 1 (01:14:03):
And it's just Kevin from wake x Forest. Don't worry
about the budget for the school in wait, wait County.
They're just going to raise our property tax two or
three percent and just blame it on Trump because everybody
here has moved down from North Carolina, I mean from
from New York and really they really don't mind paying
more property taxes.

Speaker 2 (01:14:20):
Well not all of them, but far too many for
my liking, that's for sure.

Speaker 3 (01:14:24):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:14:25):
Like, but and it will be all dooming gloom and
frank and thanks for the callers or frankly the part
like if you're a teacher who works in one of
these specialty programs and it's like, you have a tough
you have a really tough job. Man, the stories that
Ross tells me, it's like, like, I get it. But
there are people who are very pad Ross. There are
people who are very passionate about working with students, whether

(01:14:47):
it's in special needs or yes, l or any of
the ease.

Speaker 3 (01:14:50):
I know, incredibly dedicated. I know tons of them.

Speaker 2 (01:14:52):
Yes, absolutely, Like you should be angry because you're you're
the people that you're you're the one whose ox is
getting gored here and all they have to do is
not force the kids to sit there and go through
struggle sessions. That's it.

Speaker 3 (01:15:08):
I mean, I've been in this show now for what fourteen,
fifteen years, and it's.

Speaker 2 (01:15:11):
About twenty two. Let's go twenty two. I mean I've
never been accurate in the nou Sure, I've literally been
in the show for about forty five years. Yeah, pretty close.

Speaker 3 (01:15:18):
And the same thing has been said over and over
again from the audience and from us. Right, it's not
difficult reading, writing, arithmetic, that's it. That's what you need
to be focusing on. You don't need to be focusing
on any of this crap. And then you get your money.
But you can't do it because you're addicted to it
because you're an activist.

Speaker 2 (01:15:34):
And I like what I did like is people are like,
so uh, you know, well, so Trump does love the
flex that he gets with controlling the federal education dollars.
Why do you want to hand it back to the
States because you can hold both opinions. You remember the
Biden administration. Do you remember all the things they threatened
to withhold funding for around COVID from school districts they

(01:15:57):
had won. They were threatening districts who literally went back
too early, and then they were threatening districts that didn't
have a masking policy. Then they were threatening over this
vaccination stuff. Every step of the way they threatened to
withhold educational dollars from districts who didn't comply with their
version and the Chicago Teachers' Union version. I should add

(01:16:19):
of what this thing was supposed to look like, so
save it. Save it. But also I can think that
he's this is the correct way to handle this, because
what's good for the goose is good for the gander.
But also think that returning this to the States is
not a bad idea, so long as it's done in
a way that does causes the least disruption and then
leave it up to the states. And I am here

(01:16:41):
to tell you I would have an expectation of Republican
leadership here. I mean some who knows, maybe they would
disappoint me, but that this would be the same thing
that the folks at the legislature would be like, Look,
we're gonna dole this out, but we're not going to
sit here and have you know, boys playing against women
in high school sports. That's done, and we're not gonna

(01:17:02):
sit here and decide to, uh, you know, bring these
kids into a room and start talking about how people
are inherently good or inherently bad by based on the
color of their skin, which is just like the antithesis
of what this is supposed to be and what what
all of the sixties was about.

Speaker 3 (01:17:19):
It's not crazy. How about you don't teach my kid racism?

Speaker 2 (01:17:22):
How about that? But but it provides explosive devices. Okay, right,
once again, I E P a lot different than an
I D. Yeah, and a lot different than an I
U D. So what's your point? Thank you? And you
don't want an I A U D and an I
E ED combined unless you're unless you're a martyr, I

(01:17:43):
guess all right, So, but but my point stands, Yeah,
don't tea don't teach my kid racism, that's easy. Don't
have my daughter have her jaw dislocated by a volleyball surf,
that's easy. Right, This is simple stuff, man, And they
just they won't They can't stop doing it. So this

(01:18:03):
is on them. This is on them, and and shame
on the media of course approaching it from this way,
because when school districts were wanting to come back, the
way they're they reported is school districts are trying to
murder the children, and the brave Biden administration is going
to withhold the money.

Speaker 3 (01:18:21):
Right, This isn't really a surprise to anyone who during
COVID watched a school board meeting in Wake County right
to see the lunacy under you.

Speaker 2 (01:18:27):
Guys really got into it. Yeah, who is the one
who's that one lunatic? What is that guy's name? Was
it like Jim Martin or something. I don't know, that's
former governor.

Speaker 3 (01:18:36):
I don't know, I don't know.

Speaker 2 (01:18:38):
Yeah, there was one guy. Man every time he start.

Speaker 3 (01:18:40):
Talking, complete lunatic.

Speaker 2 (01:18:44):
But yeah, now it's.

Speaker 3 (01:18:48):
Twenty food or separation in a classroom because I got
sires to the grand shop. Shut up. That's literally wow,
you nailed it exactly how he sounded. You probably thought
we had a guest on the show, didn't you?

Speaker 1 (01:19:00):
I did?

Speaker 2 (01:19:00):
I'm like he did? He did? He like walk into
your studio and I didn't see her.

Speaker 3 (01:19:04):
And there's there's never any follow up on this. And
we all we've all seen this in our personal lives,
whether it's the co workers or people on social media,
or this idiot in the school board meeting during COVID,
no follow up at all, and how they were completely
wrong about everything.

Speaker 2 (01:19:18):
Ah man, why do you want to Why can't you
move on? Because somebody was commenting about different candidates, and
you know, well the Department of Public Construction that went
to a dem Yeah, arguably Moro didn't sit well with
independence in this state. That's you know, that's probably that.
But also these decisions are being made on a not
on a state basis, but necessarily they're being made on

(01:19:39):
a county basis, or actually wouldn't just county because we
have what one hundred and ten districts but only one
hundred counties, So you get off shoots like Chapel Hill
Carboro want to be their own thing, which I'm sure
was not total. It is totally about not segregation there
when that was first done. But whatever, Yeah, these are
county by county things. And then we start talking about

(01:20:00):
the bad candidates versus good candidates, and the and and
perennial candidates and the worst candidate that I've ever seen. Later,
I just set this guy's wiki bio.

Speaker 3 (01:20:10):
Yeah. No, so the photo of this guy you sent
me on the Wikipedia. Yes, it looks like Ben Stiller
right in Dodgeball me but or yes with the mustache,
or or even better the neighbor from office space. And
no doubt due a million dollars hip that guy.

Speaker 2 (01:20:25):
Yeah yeah, yeah, two chicks, yeah yeah, but dressed as
the last Samurai.

Speaker 3 (01:20:32):
No, it looks like the dressed like Garret from The Witcher.

Speaker 2 (01:20:34):
Yeah yeah, that's fair. Uh So this dude, his name
is Jonathan Sharky, and let me tell you the about
a joy and and loathing that he brought me during
my time in Minnesota because he ran he was one
of these perennial candidates and he and he was originally
from New Jersey and he moved around, but he happened.
His time in Minnesota was when I was there, all right,

(01:20:55):
So back this guy was running for governor and the
only reason I remembered him is day I saw somebody
who was like, what you need to do to overthrow
the system is everyone needs to figure out who the
least known candidate in any races, or least support a
candidate and vote for them to upset the apple cart,
to which I responded to the guy on Twitter, I said,
this guy was the lowest pole getter for Minnesota governor.

(01:21:16):
Are you saying we should have voted for him? Because
that's a bad plan. I understand the sentiment, but in
reality that doesn't play out real well. So he's a
former professional wrestler, box er Elvis Presley impersonator who then
decided he was a vampire. And so he's in full

(01:21:37):
vampire mode by the time he's running for governor. And
he put that photo out as literally his campaign photo
that Ross is laughing about. And he wanted to do
he wanted to set up what was it, a van
He wanted a vampire city in Minnesota, right, which what
a horrible thing if you're not a vampire. What a

(01:22:00):
horrible tourist trap. I mean of the worst variety.

Speaker 3 (01:22:05):
When I say it was, I mean there's kind of
some you know, some thinking there because it's not not
a lot of sunlight, right yeah, And I mean it's
good for vampires.

Speaker 2 (01:22:15):
Well, it's good for vampires. But he just wanted where
they could make laws so they could drink blood and stuff.

Speaker 1 (01:22:23):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:22:23):
So he's and all, there's a whole there's so much
to get into. Yeah, he says, he's well known with
the vampire community. He would drink cow and pig blood
because you can't really be drinking the human blood. I
guess you can drink your own. But he then declared
during the middle of the candidacy, which was not surprising
that in addition to being vampire, he was a Luciferian

(01:22:45):
Erfarian or whatever it is. But his reasoning was he
wouldn't so he was a Lucifarian, and he made the
decision while already a vampire, because he could not worship
a god who allowed the deaths of innocent children.

Speaker 3 (01:23:04):
I have you heard of lucifer So he's gonna drink
the blood of all right? Well, yeah, but it's a
bold strategy, Cotton.

Speaker 2 (01:23:14):
Well there, but there's also another child tie in that
came to light. So and by the way, he was
this guy when he was in Florida, made it onto
one of the executive committees down in Florida for Hillsborough County.

Speaker 3 (01:23:27):
So so you're saying he got worse for this guy, Yeah,
because I was about to check that box. Why should
I know?

Speaker 2 (01:23:33):
Oh, you were gonna all you were gonna vote for him.

Speaker 3 (01:23:34):
Huh.

Speaker 2 (01:23:35):
Well, so there was a little thing that happened shortly
after the campaign. Uh, the United States Secret Service one
threatened him for threatening to impale George W. Bush. He
wanted to go all lad the Impaler on him, because apparently,
if you're a Luciferian vampire candidate. The way that you
vanquish your enemies is through uh impaling them, and the

(01:23:57):
Secret Service didn't like that. But unfortunately, when he was
running for governor, and it was in two thousand and six,
Sharky was arrested by police for a warrant out of
Indiana after he was accused of brainwashing a teenage girl

(01:24:18):
whose family sought a restraining order against him. Then he
started trying to hook up with another like sixteen year
old girl. I think he ended up trying to. I
think he ran away with her, so he was you know,
which that's a big no note. So yeah, it was
the kiddy stuff that did him in, not the part
where he's a vampire. Wanted to in pale.

Speaker 3 (01:24:38):
Bush right, so he's a pedophile, so he obviously can't
vote for that. But I'm surprised that he didn't fall
upwards in government.

Speaker 2 (01:24:45):
Well, nowadays i'd probably be embraced.

Speaker 3 (01:24:47):
And the best part about that, there'd be no list.

Speaker 2 (01:24:50):
That's a good point too, how dare you judge?

Speaker 3 (01:24:55):
You know, the UK is a complete binfire. But the
one thing that I really liked that they do politics
as they always have, like the jokey candidate that you
captain bad like that you can vote for as sort
of like a protest vote, right, you can vote for
Lord Binhead. But the best part about these and I
don't know if you've ever seen him, it looks like
the the like the the Black Night or whatever from

(01:25:16):
Money Python in the Holy Grail, but with like a
bin on his head, right, but a scratch. Yeah, and
actually he's from space and he has he's crazy, you know,
points of view and and opinions and like, you can
vote for the guy. But the best part is is
they let them participate in the debates. That's great, we
should do.

Speaker 2 (01:25:31):
Yeah, no, no, no, so dude, and I would I
would have. It would be so hard to find. This
guy did debates and they were amazing. That's why on
the radio was amazing because we didn't know about all
kiddy stuff. We're just like, look at this lunatic and
so and the way that he would talk is if
you were pretending to be an ominous vampire.

Speaker 6 (01:25:50):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:25:51):
Oh, it was so money for radio. It was just
such a gift, such a gift, and tell the kiddy
stuff there obviously, but yeah, man, and I think he
actually ended up renouncing Lucifer and instead he went he
started worshiping this hate cat who's some pagan goddess. So

(01:26:11):
apparently he's moved on and he's out of prison. And
I think somebody married this lunatic, so I wonder if
she's a vampire too. But you're going back to his
wrestling career. He worked for Rocky Johnson. Ross, That's where
this guy got started. And he it wasn't a vampire stick.
I can't remember what his thing was. He was who

(01:26:32):
he worked for, Rocky Johns. If you guys don't know
who that is, that's Dwayne Johnson's father, who was a
huge promoter eventually, and do you know he do you
know who his favorite wrestlers was to work with. You're
not gonna like this Ricky Steamboat and Rick Flair, who
probably wanted nothing to do with the memory of this

(01:26:54):
this lunatic. So I wonder if our wrestling our wrestling
contact does this guy or never heard of this guy?
Now they'd probably admit, all right, Ross is screening a
phone call there. Maybe I'll ask HI when he gets
off the air. So, yeah, this guy was just pure
looney tunes. All right, Hey, I promised you a couple
of West Virginia stories. So what is this? Well, then

(01:27:19):
I promised you a couple uh West Virginia stories, so
we'll do that here in the final segment of the show.
They both involved stealing vehicles, by the way, so there
is that. I know you were screening a call I
was telling you that this so he got to start
in his wrestling career, the Vampire dude working for Dwayne

(01:27:40):
Johnson's father who was a big promoter, and his two
favorite people that he worked with were Ricky Steamboat and
Rick Flair.

Speaker 3 (01:27:47):
Nice. Yeah, so I probably I saw a collage of
wrestler mugshots yesterday. Okay, sorry, Super I might retweet on
the show account just because I found it fascinating. And
the one that I was really surprised by was there's
a mugshot of Andre the Giant. Can you imagine trying
to arrest Andre the Giant, like being it public in

(01:28:08):
talks or what destruction of public property or something?

Speaker 2 (01:28:11):
What did he bump into some he bumps into something
like oh, I can't believe you destroyed that statue.

Speaker 3 (01:28:18):
So I mean to people, comments were like, wow, how
could you arrest Andrea the Giant? And like you arrested
him because he lets you arrest him, right, and.

Speaker 2 (01:28:27):
That's the whole superman thing. Or he snaps the cuffs,
he's like, I'm here because I want to be here.
I don't.

Speaker 5 (01:28:33):
I don't.

Speaker 2 (01:28:34):
The thing that's creepier to me is can you imagine
being his selly and you don't know who it is.
They just kind of show you to your cell and
they're like, all right, here's your cell. Right at that point,
you're like, can I just can I just can you
guys just beat me? So I go to the infirmary place.

Speaker 3 (01:28:50):
Cramp for space. You're like, well, I guess I'm sitting
on your lap now.

Speaker 2 (01:28:53):
Oh jeez. Man. All right, let's get Jeff Marr from
the Weather Channel in here. All right, my man, one
more to go for the week. Let's make it a
good one.

Speaker 1 (01:29:03):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (01:29:03):
We're going to have a little bit drier weather pattern
taking shape Forrest as we head into this Friday, which
is certainly good news. We'll start off with dry conditions,
then a slide chance for an afternoon chower thuaderstorm, otherwise
sunny hiding human ninety two the high it feels closer
to one hundred and one, oh two though indu factor
in the humidity, and then clear tonight out of seventy four,
even hotter tomorrow at the ninety four. Once you get
a triple digit. He did Dex with an occasional afternoon

(01:29:25):
theuader storm and the rain chances will increase Sunday and Monday.
They'll be scattered afternoon chowers and thunderstorms each day as
high temperatures hit the low nineties.

Speaker 2 (01:29:34):
All right, Jeff, have yourself a good weekend, sir, you
appreciate it, and we will come back with not the
other Jeff, he's not in. But Dan Schwartzman for Bloomberg
News up next, Hang on and Dan, what's going on?

Speaker 4 (01:29:46):
Good morning, case See. Let's start off with President Trump.
He continues to escalate trade wars. He has now threatened
a thirty five percent tariff on some Canadian goods beginning
August first.

Speaker 2 (01:29:55):
He did so in a letter to Prime Minister Mark Carney.

Speaker 4 (01:29:57):
The USO is expected to keep in place a lower
temp tariff on some energy related imports. The move by
Trump also does not affect imports shipped under previous agreements. Well,
I hope you have some cryptocurrency, because Casey, the meteoric
rise a bitcoin continues, the crypto topping one hundred and
eighteen thousand dollars for the first time. Some options traders
are even targeting levels as high as one hundred and

(01:30:18):
fifty thousand dollars. Some of the reasons for the rise
lately include a congressional committee declaring next week is quote
crypto Week. While there are signs that China, which has
banned digital asset speculation for four years, is starting to
rethink its policy, Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco president
Mary Daily says she still have views two interest rate
cuts as likely this year, while saying she sees a

(01:30:39):
greater chance that the price effects from tariffs may be
more muted than anticipated. Policymakers have so far held borrowing
costs steady this year, though a divide has emerged over
how many rate cuts officials expect in the second half
of twenty twenty five. In a major win for makers
of the heartburn drug Zantac, the Delaware Supreme Court rejecting
the legitimacy of expert tesse testimony linking the drug to cancer.

(01:31:02):
The drug makers are challenging a superior court decision that
the plaintiff's expert witnesses appropriately reviewed evidence about whether's antac
can cause cancer. Now, the State Supreme Court has sent
the cases back to the trial court for a judge
to take another look at the expert testimony. Good news
in the oil industry, BP says it expects to report
rising production and a strong result from its oil trading

(01:31:22):
business for the second quarter when the company reports earnings
on August fifth. The oil giant says production for the
three months through June is now expected to be higher
compared with the first quarter, after an earlier guidance had
said it would be broadly flat. Right now, the price
of a barrel of oil is sixty seven dollars and
thirty one cents. Bloomberg learning that Apple is planning to
release a host of new products during the first half

(01:31:43):
of next year. The tech giants new lineup included updates
to Apple's entry level tablet and iPad air, as well
as an external macmonitor and a low end iPhone. The
company is also working on upgraded MacBook pros and airs.
Levi Straus shares rising and pre market trading by about
seven and a half percent, and after the company raised
its revenue outlook that kind of genes maker expects sales

(01:32:04):
growth that outweigh the effect of President Trump's terrace believe
I also slightly lowering its guidance for gross margin.

Speaker 2 (01:32:09):
Now.

Speaker 4 (01:32:09):
Overall, the results suggest that Levi's efforts to branch into
new products and categories, including caps and aprons, is paying off. Jeans, though,
remain Levi's best sellers. And finally, Casey, looking at the futures,
with markets opening in about thirty six minutes, that's down
two thirds of a percent, SMP's down six tens a
one percent, and as that currently down half of one percent.

Speaker 2 (01:32:30):
All right, Dan, appreciate it. Have yourself a good weekend, sir,
you as well, my friend. All right, there you go,
Dan Swartzman from Bloomberg News. All right, let's go to
the Florida of the North, shall we, And that would
be West Virginia, And we got a two for ross.
You want to start with stolen RV or stolen Mini bus?

Speaker 3 (01:32:48):
Oh man, those are both good. RV harvy, you'd go RV.

Speaker 2 (01:32:51):
All right, We're gonna start with stolen RV. And boy boy,
there's mugshots for nice, aren't they? A West Virginia couple?
Was reportedly naked and having sex and a stolen RV
when police pulled them over. Understand how I just worded that, yes,
it was in motion going down the highway when they

(01:33:11):
were because you know, RVs have huge front windows, people,
and so what are motorists and a law enforcement officer
or patrolling there treated to him driving her straddling him
backwards and the RV just veering all over the road,
which is not allowed, at which point they made a
stop and by the time the officer got from their

(01:33:33):
vehicle up to the RV, she is now in the
driver's seat. He is in the passenger seat. Shockingly, they're
obliterated and we'll find out on what here in just
a short few But a passerby yelled at the occupants
had switched seats before I make contact with them, so
they got a snitch on site. When asked what was

(01:33:56):
going on, the woman casually responded, hold on, I'm gonna
need my little button bar here. Duh. We were ean,
so hey, you know she's honest. Following the administration of
Miranda Rights, he also mentioned that they were. The other

(01:34:16):
problem is the officer noticed during the tough of the
time the lights came on to then several thing baggies
and other things were thrown from the RV and they
were able to find some pain pills and a I
guess it's a broken glass pipe, but they it doesn't
look like they were able to find like the meth

(01:34:38):
that goes in it, but that's a strong suspicion, so AnyWho.
They also as far as the RV goes, she said
that they had had they had fantasized about doing that
in an RV, and I guess they didn't own an RV,
so they took somebody's RV. They stole it near about

(01:34:59):
