Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Friday, You've dang near made it, although mother Nature is

(00:03):
doing her best not to not to help you do that.
I we'll talk to Ray. I'm not calling him out
or anything, but it was a little more rain than
I think he and everyone else thought parts of the
triangle was probably gonna get yesterday. Although it's still pales

(00:23):
in comparison. Ross, you had tipped me off. I actually
saw a photo, like a photo gallery of what's going
on over in Chattanooga. Holy hell man, they had a
whirlpool in the middle of the freeway. I've never seen that.

Speaker 2 (00:36):
You know, we have a family in Chattanooga and we
all you know, a listener of ours, DIBs, who sends
us a lot of text messages and like tweets and tweets.

Speaker 3 (00:43):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (00:43):
Yeah, literally, he sent me a photo of like I
don't know if it was him or somebody else, but
like a dude like fishing in a parking lot, like
catching fish?

Speaker 1 (00:51):
Was he was he catching?

Speaker 4 (00:52):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (00:52):
I mean everybody loves a good fishing whole tip. So yeah, man,
But you know the problem, if you've never been to Chattanooga,
you should go. It's nice. It is a bit of
a drive because you're like how much bored North Carolina
is there because you're just going forever and ever. But
Chattanooga is it basically has river on three sides of it.

(01:16):
They're in a nice big bend down there, which is
fine when it's not flooding. I'm trying to remember the
little steam what is the steamship thing they have down there?
I probably misremember it. It's a riverboat of some sort
right downtown. I've only ever stayed downtown once, but try
to remember what that thing was over there. Anyway, they
got a really nice restaurant next to it, whatever it is,

(01:37):
and I can't remember the name of it, but maybe
not right now. But no, I saw this, So I
saw that. Then I saw this video of like a
whirlpool because literally the under you know, some on the
under part of the road had collapsed a sinkhole or
maybe it had given back way to the river. But
I've never seen one of those in the middle of
an American freeway, I will say that. So, but yeah,
really really bad over there. So it was not mutually

(02:02):
exclusive just to this part of North Carolina. So we'll
talk to Ray coming up a little later in the show. Also,
as we do on Friday's Pete Callender will join us.
That'll be an eighth five. Where to start this morning?
I feel like we got to start down in South
Carolina because I'm probably gonna play this audio twice? Are

(02:23):
you guys following the governor's race down there? Holy cow?
So I don't know how everything's gonna pan out. As
I understand it, Nancy Mace will probably be the next
governor because it's South Carolina, and I think she'll probably
emerge as the Republican nominee, but she will have to

(02:47):
battle the uh A Democrat. I don't know if it'll
still be this dude, but he is the leader in
the clubhouse over on the Democrats side. His name is
William McLeod, William Mullens McLeod. He'll probably have the Scottish

(03:09):
vote locked up, so he's got that going for him.
So he is currently facing calls from his own party
to step down from the gubernatorial race after who after
a little video emerged and it's a doozy. So this

(03:32):
actually goes back to May when he was arrested. So
many people didn't know there was an incident with this dude,
and so I think he's the only declared Democrat, which
is why he's the leader. But it's like, you want
this guy to step down. You've known that this arrest
happened back in May. It's only now that the video's
coming out, Like, how come, why don't somebody else get

(03:56):
in the race on the Democrat side. That's what I
don't understand. You're just gonna run nobody. That's pretty bad
when your party would rather run nobody than you. But
they may be right. So, uh, the he's an attorney.
He was in downtown Charleston. According to reports, he was
yelling at the top of his lungs, wearing only underwear

(04:17):
and shoes, as you do. And in the report, it
suggests he showed signs that were quote typical of an
individual under the influence of a stimulant narcotic. So that's
a fancy way of saying cocaine.

Speaker 2 (04:32):
I guess.

Speaker 1 (04:34):
Well, you know what, let's hear from the horse's mouth,
because there's body cam and then there's the squad carcam
and there's too many cams probably for this guy's future.
But check this out. But getting off to mindless there's

(05:00):
your charge. Oh I see, so he seems reasonable.

Speaker 5 (05:06):
Hey, Terry Matthew, my friends could start to sow down
a little bit. Man. So what happened was in a lung.

Speaker 1 (05:18):
I love that he used this, So what happened was
all right. So anyway, tell us, sir, what happened.

Speaker 5 (05:22):
Then it's a class action, okay, which class is stupid?
Were class members?

Speaker 3 (05:28):
Right?

Speaker 6 (05:28):
Don't get the money? It's everybody at the top. Now
I know why Ron Martley is no longer with us.
And though I don't think the den well, the man
didn't take him out.

Speaker 1 (05:42):
Ron, I said, was pinning him.

Speaker 6 (05:44):
The last time I saw him before he died, his
eyes were just yellow.

Speaker 3 (05:48):
Yellow.

Speaker 6 (05:50):
I know if that is because I know what that
ball will do to you.

Speaker 1 (05:54):
That didn't make Ron Martley an unjust man.

Speaker 6 (05:57):
That made him one of them most just pure people
humans ever, wrote Miss North.

Speaker 5 (06:07):
He was just turning in the side.

Speaker 3 (06:11):
Ron.

Speaker 5 (06:12):
I'm now you're a judging my friend.

Speaker 1 (06:14):
I love you, okay, all right. It's it's a little
it's a little tough to get a handle on what's
going on. So he is opining on all sorts of stuff,
all sorts of stuff. Also when he's screaming, it's it's
clearly hard to understand what he's saying, Rod, I'm assuming
that damn near broke the meters being dubbed in.

Speaker 2 (06:35):
Yeah, yeah, it's pretty loud.

Speaker 1 (06:36):
Yes, uh and uh, let's just say this is going
to run the gamut as we go through. So he's like,
he starts threatening I guess political opponents about kicking their
teeth in. He he wouldn't tell his name initially.

Speaker 3 (06:56):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (06:56):
He kept referring to himself as God and Superman. And
it's the video is an hour long, the whole thing,
So you're just you're just getting some highlights man or
low lights, I guess, depending on if you're him. So
you know, police had to spend an hour dealing with
this guy who's clearly out of his I mean, he's

(07:17):
cooked on something. He's not incorrect about class action lawsuits,
I guess. So he's also got some demons he's trying
to trying to work through here, I guess, because remember
he's a lawyer.

Speaker 7 (07:27):
Hey, Nancy, right now, because I only promise that I
will not do this, what's I started this campaign?

Speaker 6 (07:38):
Because I can't do this? What's I started campaign? You
can better tell the world right now then what you.

Speaker 1 (07:44):
Did in the wall of the convas was the diasin
come in the heifrey of this nation. And by the way,
he's also converted into street perature for some reason. But
angry street preacher, I don't even know what to compare
him to. Let go with angry street preacher. Uh and

(08:06):
not a fan of Nancy Mats where you went?

Speaker 6 (08:08):
And Blue Lee, i'st dog whistle and can dosan dog?

Speaker 2 (08:15):
Trump's house and your dog?

Speaker 1 (08:18):
The system was so her up. The president himself.

Speaker 6 (08:22):
We're not gonna take you out.

Speaker 7 (08:26):
You're not anywhere washing DC a man wherever President Donald
Trump is because I'm telling you, my friend, he will
kick your teeth.

Speaker 6 (08:33):
He don't get a what your generally is.

Speaker 1 (08:36):
So let's go back to the teeth thing.

Speaker 6 (08:38):
I'm gonna kick every of him in, all right, I
do kick him in. You ain't known Dennis, find me
a Dennis.

Speaker 3 (08:48):
The negative.

Speaker 6 (08:49):
Put all your teeth before you swallow your dumb, fucking
coward back in your teeth. Now, this is the way.
Wouldn't do this. You don't get another can you get
you and if a half for your teeth, if they
not company, you.

Speaker 3 (09:09):
Got it.

Speaker 1 (09:13):
It's so funny, is he says? If a dentist said
that in a calm voice. It would almost be like
a consult right yeah, no, yeah.

Speaker 2 (09:23):
But it's just the way he's talking like he like
but there's a combination he reminds me of like Robert
Downey Junior in Tropic Thunder combined with like an old
w w F Ultimate Warrior promo, like yeah, back and
forth like hey, no warrior, Like he's crazy.

Speaker 1 (09:43):
We need some glass breaking, right, and then you know,
the the big booming music and then aah. But like
if you slowed that down and said it normally, He's like, well, look,
we want to reinstall your teeth, and yes, you're gonna
get novacane to do it, but I'm gonna let you
know that if the holes are infected or a problematic,
we're not gonna be able to reinstall your teeth like
I could. Dennis. Yeah, man, I almost wanted to win

(10:12):
just for the just so we couldn't have our you know,
like weekly. Uh, let's see what's going on with with
you know, sub Carolina. Right, let's go to the governor's
uh state of the state address.

Speaker 8 (10:23):
Yeah, my being full of treat you go back before
the wall broke out, I was associated in.

Speaker 1 (10:27):
San Anto, but I could call up some of them green. Yeah,
due to some crawl fish out in the pattygo. I've
made us some crab apple put de zirt.

Speaker 2 (10:38):
Now yeah, hey, yeah.

Speaker 1 (10:43):
Okay, so that I don't think that's him, but I'm
not sure.

Speaker 2 (10:47):
Oh no, man sounds just like him.

Speaker 1 (10:49):
Do you think you think that sounds like d names
amaze hat? All right? Hold on, hold on, you gotta
gotta get the last little bit of his thing here. Okay.

Speaker 2 (11:02):
Tell everybody's trying to tubby up till him it comes
sick of it.

Speaker 6 (11:07):
You're gonna kids stick on it because it's freaking nature
light here.

Speaker 4 (11:11):
He's just beginning to swell. And when I can't pick
it up.

Speaker 2 (11:14):
Brother, don't calling me room for anybody else.

Speaker 6 (11:19):
Being all the warriors float through the bage, the powers.

Speaker 8 (11:23):
The warrior.

Speaker 1 (11:28):
Hold on, all right, so we're gonna test Ross's theory.
Let me get everything space here, all right. Let me
know if this sounds like everybody? This is the same
person talking three times, not to what particular, and everybody's
until it comes to sick. Good morning. That'll wake you up.

(11:50):
If you weren't awake, you're awake down.

Speaker 2 (11:53):
Is this like the biggest like political collapse? Or craziness
in the history of the South Carolina Party or like South.

Speaker 1 (11:59):
Carolina, I met South Carolina's got some bangers over the year.

Speaker 2 (12:03):
The only other thing he reminds me of do you
remember Todd kid Cannon. Todd KD Cannon back in the
early days of Twitter, was like a Twitter star. He
was you know, it as like the political honey badger.
And he was like, he's the first person I ever
saw saw it call somebody a poor like he would
call him poors. And he was a lawyer and yeah,
the old executive director of the South Carolina Republican Party.
And he was great. I mean, he was all over Twitter.

(12:24):
He's a big He ended up getting arrested because he
had a complete mental breakdown, similar to this guy in
the back of the squad car. There this candidate for
governor where he ended up claiming he was Jesus and
he murdered his mom's dog.

Speaker 1 (12:39):
Like his mom's dog. I thought he just killed a
Rando dog. Oh not that that's a argument better, but right, so,
I mean that's up there, that's up there. But this
is dude, this is big. This is what a meltdown.
This is well believe it or not. He's issued a
statement saying that this is a good thing.

Speaker 2 (12:57):
Oh is it?

Speaker 1 (12:58):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (12:59):
Okay, yeah, so you didn't Yeah, put him on the
debate stage. Can't wait, hold on, I.

Speaker 1 (13:05):
Gotta find that now. I gotta find the statement because
I just I saw it passively on Twitter this morning.
Was gonna grab it, and I thought he emailed it
to myself. Yeah, He's just like, no, this is cause
and I can't. And I'll give you his reasoning. I'll
grab it. In fact, let me let me go ahead
and do this just because I thought I emailed it,
but I emailed something else. We'll find out why this
is apparently a net plus for his campaign, Okay, from

(13:28):
from his own rattled brain, and we'll do that next
here on the CaCO Day radio program, the South Carolina
candidate as to why his arrests should not be literally
career ending. And by the way, this guy is in
some newcomer to politics, right, he's not collapsing under the
weight of, you know, being just a regular guy who

(13:49):
got into it. Not only has he run for governor before,
but he also was the party chair there in Charleston
for the Democrat Party. So how would you attempt to
spin this. Well, it's a good thing he was arrested
in this emerged because it was it shows the illegal

(14:10):
arrest and policing where the police are out of control, see,
and they arrested him, and they shouldn't have done that
because you know, police, I guess, shouldn't arrest people who
are running around in their underwear screaming at people in
the middle of the night. There's bar you know around
bar close time. Shouldn't do that. So it just the

(14:33):
police are out of control. And if he's governor, I
guess they'll defund the police or something. So Ross, do
you feel differently now knowing this factoid about this?

Speaker 2 (14:46):
Yeah, I see, I was unaware of that, but no,
you know.

Speaker 1 (14:50):
Now he also dropped the hard R twice. I guess
during this we didn't play that for you obviously, So
I don't know if that's a problem in South Kret
would you, Ross, would you look and see if they
have black voters in South Carolina?

Speaker 4 (15:04):
Let me check?

Speaker 2 (15:06):
Yeah they do? They do?

Speaker 1 (15:07):
Oh, they do? Okay, all right, So I don't. I don't.
I don't know. Maybe they might if you're the person though,
who does Nancy Mace's attack ads, How easy is your job, right,
don't you just cut this up twenty different ways?

Speaker 2 (15:23):
Man, It's a complete gift.

Speaker 1 (15:25):
People forget because it turned into everything that it turned
into that. Remember Tiger King ran for president and he
put out some amazing political videos. This is again, this
is prior to all the arresting and the incarcerating and
the mini series and all of that, and I remember
playing those on the radio, and those are pretty crazy.

(15:47):
When I in Minneapolis, we had a gubernatorial candidate who
thought he was a vampire.

Speaker 2 (15:54):
He was fun, he was fun.

Speaker 1 (15:57):
Then he turned out to also be a dude who
you know, did kids, but like just the vamp.

Speaker 9 (16:03):
Like.

Speaker 1 (16:03):
He wanted a vampire colony. He had a vampire Bill
of Rights that was part of his platform. So but
he wasn't screaming pantiless in the streets of Charleston dropping
the N words. So I don't know, tomato tomato perhaps,
but yeah, yeah, he wanted to create a vampire enclave too.

(16:26):
That would be uh, you know, and that would be
that he Remember he sold it as the safety. It
was safety for vampires but also non vampires, right, because
you know, sometimes the vampires want to eat the non vampires.
But if you they have their own thing. I guess
then then that won't happen. So I didn't enjoy covering him,

(16:50):
but there wasn't as much anger as as was in
the South Carolina video. So I guess we will we
will wait and see. All right, saw this story this morning.
I kind of feel like people shouldn't jump to conclusions here.
So yesterday on the show, we told you about the
Kennedy Center Honors this year, and so you got Gloria Gaynor,

(17:14):
Sylvester Stallone, George Strait, which, by the way, I got
like six emails from people who wanted who have had
to hum along to Amarillo by morning all day yesterday
while they were at work, and you're welcome. Who am
I leaving? Well, but it doesn't matter. I don't have
to list in front of me.

Speaker 3 (17:33):
Here.

Speaker 1 (17:33):
Here's what I do know. Apparently the the the there
was another actor who was asked to be a part
of this and actually declined. And it's Tom Cruise, I mean,
which I think that would have been the biggest right
of the names there, and so he he said no.
And I see people who are reading into this like, oh,

(17:57):
well he did it because you know, Hollywood's big liberal
all that he said, He's that like he's busy and
the dudes, I think he's shooting like three different movies
right now, and they're shooting over in like Eastern Europe
or something. I think the dude's just busy.

Speaker 3 (18:14):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (18:14):
I saw the headline yesterday, and I just assumed he
was probably busy because he's actually still making movies.

Speaker 5 (18:19):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (18:19):
And then, but my other thought was because people are like, oh,
it's political, right, like he doesn't like Trump or whatever,
he doesn't like Republicans and you know, and he's like,
you know, screw you, you guys, I'm not going to
show up. I don't think it's political. I think it
could be business related though, because he seems very smart
and he's very focused on you know, business and putting
asses in seats at his movies, and he knows that
if he does that, there's a good chance of alienating

(18:41):
half of the audience. So I don't know.

Speaker 1 (18:43):
But then you got people who are upset, who are like, ah, well,
he's doing it for that, So I mean it's six
and one half.

Speaker 2 (18:48):
Maybe maybe the dude just doesn't want to be political
at all, Like he just wants to focus on his movies,
which is fine.

Speaker 1 (18:54):
Yeah, and you'd have to bring up Tom a bunch
of Tom Cruise rants and you can't. I don't remember any.
Do you remember Cruise melting down on social media sixteen?

Speaker 2 (19:06):
I mean he hasn't, I politically know. But of course
he's had the Oprah stuff jumping on the couch. He's
had the Matt Louder stuff talking about riddling, which turned
out to be true. He had, you know, the breakdown
during COVID when somebody wasn't wearing their mask. But that
wasn't because he was a crazy liberal. You have to
wear your mask. You're going to make me sick. It
was I want to make this movie, keep your mask on.
Do you guys say, let's save the business?

Speaker 1 (19:27):
Correct? Do you know what Tom Cruise did to get
them to shoot Top Gun?

Speaker 2 (19:31):
You do?

Speaker 1 (19:31):
You know what he did? There's a crazy story. So
Tom he couldn't get the studio and I don't remember
which studios which, but it doesn't matter here. So whatever
the studio was that he did was doing Top Gun
with right, the movie that many people argue kind of
save cinema too. Right, So when he was wanting to
get that shot, it's during COVID or no, I'm sorry

(19:53):
it was Mission impossible. It was I'm sure it was
one of the mission impossibles. And then the top gun.
But what kicked it off is you He wanted to
shoot his movie and the studios like nobody's shooting, were
all closed down from COVID and everyone was scared too,
because there's a lot of money attached to it, and
he didn't want to irritate and and so they just
were giving him a hard no, and he wasn't going

(20:15):
to accept that. So he called another studio that he
was like working on another project with, and uh, was
just casually dropped in the middle of the conversation that
the other studio, the first one was, had resumed shooting.
And then that word got to you know, the because
he only deals with higher ups, I'm sure they heard that.

(20:36):
He then called a third studio where they were where
they had been talking about doing a project, and casually
dropped that both the other studios were shooting starting.

Speaker 2 (20:46):
On this day.

Speaker 1 (20:47):
And then he waited and very shortly after the other
two studios, not the main one he was working with,
they resumed limited shooting schedules. He then called back the
first studio and said, what do we do? Studio B
and C are shooting now, and then they're like, you're right,
go ahead, and then they started shooting again. He literally

(21:08):
tricked Hollywood into going back to work. One dude, one dude.
So I don't know, man, Yeah, I think the dude's
just busy.

Speaker 2 (21:18):
Yeah, I mean Steven Spielberg has said right that he
feels like Top Gun Maverick saved the movie industry. Yes,
like you said, it's like that movie saved us. Yeah,
So it's just that's just fun. The dude loves the
movie so much. But he's really I can see him
being like laser focused to be like, I'm doing like
three movies right now and they want to play asses
in seats and then you know, now I'm going to pass.

Speaker 1 (21:40):
Yeah, so well I'll take a wait and see on that.
So before I would, I'm not gonna jump to conclusions
on that, but I guess you do. You a little update.
We haven't been really following it much, but it's it's
along the lines of the The Maryland Man, right who
When they say Maryland Man, they're actually talking about the

(22:02):
MS thirteen Dirtbag. But this is in New Jersey. So
in New Jersey, the cause du jour surrounds an illegal
alien who who was arrested driving. And then I want
you to understand, this is how the media is portraying this.
At his hearing, the undocumented immigrant at the center of

(22:25):
immigration fight between Trump and New Jersey's governor had a
largely clean driving record, despite prior to UI arrests. And
it gets far worse. Ross, Do you have any tickets?
You got any tickets, everybody?

Speaker 2 (22:39):
I never got a ticket like once, back in like
ninety nine.

Speaker 1 (22:43):
Okay, yeah, I got a ticket when I first started
driving and ended up actually throwing the ticket out procedurally.
But other than that, no tickets, I would describe Ross
and I, well, I guess technically I have a completely
clean driving record at that point. But but that's I
think what you would use. A couple of speeding tickets

(23:03):
might be largely clean over you know, forty years or whatever.
This guy's got just a few other things, uh, three
d U I arrest and a drunk driving collision that
killed a woman and her eleven year old daughter.

Speaker 2 (23:17):
But besides that, it's squeaky clean, right, squeaky clean? Other
than that, now, is that frowned upon. Where is he
from Honduras or whatever? I think I'd have to look
it up. Or maybe it's like a cultural thing. Is
that normal in Honduras?

Speaker 1 (23:29):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (23:31):
You can't judge other people's cultures, you know what I mean.

Speaker 1 (23:33):
I went to Roatan once, which is the island where
it's like, that's the nice part of Honduras, and but
I didn't.

Speaker 2 (23:41):
Drive, so I don't know. But I'm just saying it
might be it might be a cultural misunderstanding. Give them
the benefit of the doubt.

Speaker 1 (23:49):
By the way, that collision didn't take place in Honduras.
The woman and her eleven year old daughter were killed
in New Jersey, so the governor would have access to
those records probably. But the media is saying largely clean
driving record. When you have multiple DUIs and a drunk
driving collision that killed two people, I feel like those

(24:13):
words do not mean what you think they mean. Or
here's the alternative. Everyone in New Jersey's record is statistically worse,
so that it's by you know, it's based on location,
which I could also believe because you've ever driven around
New Jersey. People are lunatics, man, So you know, if

(24:34):
it's if it's largely clean compared to other New Jersey
ins or whatever you call them, then you know semantics
at that point. But that would require most of people
in New Jersey to have collisions that killed I guess
three people instead of just two. So I'm not sure.

(24:55):
Now I could see that around Boston, but New Jersey
I don't know about all that. So when you see
that story, just understand that, for whatever reason, probably because
they ran out of digital ink, it wasn't getting included
in many of the stories. Okay, all right, wonderful eight
eight eight nine three four seven eight seven four. We

(25:18):
got the big Trump putent thing coming up, and I
guess a bunch of Ukraine protest moonbats are making their
way up to Anchorage so they can be there on
the ground when Trump gets here, which is awesome for
the rest of us, I guess, but not as awesome
as September seventeenth is apparently going to be. Do you

(25:41):
guys know what's happening? So do you guys know about this?
All right, mark your calendars, and when we come back,
I'll explain why it could be the greatest shopping running errands,
going about your business day in a long time. Hang on,
that's next. So I have to admit I don't really
know about this, and I but only because we get

(26:04):
promised these things so frequently and then they never really
are noticeable. And I'm kind of rooting for this one.
And what's even crazier is there's a video of this woman,
and I think people are not paying attention to the
video enough. She's not threatening this, she is overjoyed at

(26:26):
the possibility. It's a younger black woman who clearly does
not have a minute for the woke folks around her, okay,
or the you know, the the uh, the weaponized racism
that she sees around her. Because on September seventeenth, they're
promising a blackout, and it's not just black people, but

(26:49):
it's allies, and it's it's just it's a lot of
woke Marxist stuff. And basically, on September seventeenth, they're going
to refuse to participate in society so that I could
be out at the stores. You're not gonna be at
the restaurants or the bars. I guess, we're not gonna
be in the workplace. And it's called a blackout, but

(27:10):
it's more than just black people. That's just the name
for it. So it's basically encompassing anyone on the left
or anyone who had subscribed to any of this race
based politics or this woke politics. And so this is
her responding to it. And I got to tell you
she'd make it, she'd make in some sense. Man, check

(27:30):
this out.

Speaker 8 (27:31):
I just hope every Republican on planet Earth realizes that
September seventeenth is going to be the best day ever.
These liberals talking about black out the system. Yes, Rosie O'Donnell,
I'm talking about you.

Speaker 4 (27:44):
Blackout that system.

Speaker 2 (27:46):
Blackout that system.

Speaker 1 (27:47):
Yeah, Rosie's girl.

Speaker 8 (27:48):
Please don't go to work, don't go to the grocery store,
don't do anything on the seventeenth. Why don't we make
it a week a liberal blackout week. We don't got
to deal with none of y'all for a whole week,
not on the screens, not.

Speaker 1 (28:01):
In real life.

Speaker 8 (28:02):
Like I'm down for this blackout, please please, Like at
this point, I'm down for like a year long blackout
from y'all. Like, please, so again, September seventeenth, Republicans, check
the day off on your on your calendar, because the
grocery stores are going to be lovely. The gas stations

(28:24):
are going to be even better. I mean, it is
going to be the most peaceful day that we've had
in a very long day. Okay, I'm gonna take this
as a thank you. You were right from the liberal side.
So again, September seventeenth, mark your calendars.

Speaker 1 (28:41):
Yeah, I like her energy man, the pro Here's the
problem the finance, because I always do this, like, all right,
we're not gonna spend any money on the seventeenth. You're
gonna go to the store on the sixteenth and you're
gonna buy whatever food you need for the seventeenth. You're
gonna fill your car accordingly. So this is why these
these types of things are done. I don't care which
side's doing them or whatever reason they're doing them. That

(29:03):
being said, it would be really nice to not have
to worry about I don't know, let's say you go
to walk your dog and then having them remember that
lunatic lady from earlier in the week screaming at the
dude over his dogs, to not have to worry that
you're going to encounter that, or you go to a
restaurant and you know somebody's in a screaming match over

(29:23):
a hummus or whatever. I don't know. I'm here for
that ross. You don't even like leaving the house. I
don't blame Youboddy, but seventeenth might be the day.

Speaker 2 (29:31):
To do it, nor up. She brings up some good points. Really,
you imagine being able to go out when you do
go out, if I do go out, and not having
to worry about some lunatic screaming nonsense having right.

Speaker 1 (29:41):
Yeah, it'd be nice, man. I only I wish it
wasn't a Wednesday, though. Could you think maybe we could
do this on a Friday so instead of seventh, because
seventeenth is a Wednesday, So maybe the nineteenth should be
the day. That way, not only can you go about work,
but if I want to go out in the evening
or you want to go out in the evening, then.

Speaker 2 (30:05):
I think we should expand it more. Random number here,
random date, just throwing it out. September fourteenth maybe to
the seventeenth, So fourteenth random day. No real significance here
for me, I understand, just a random day. Going to
have myself a day on the fourteenth to the sid
have to I did have to try to remember what

(30:26):
day was your day? And then I'm like, oh, Ross
missed it by a few so so you think it's
a gift to you, Yes, that should be marks, like,
what do you want?

Speaker 3 (30:35):
Right?

Speaker 1 (30:35):
And you're like, just this thing?

Speaker 2 (30:37):
Happy birthday to me on the fourteenth. I mean, we
see what we can do.

Speaker 1 (30:46):
What does football start? What's the what's the first what's
the first regular season? I understand we're in preseason right now.
What's the first regular season game?

Speaker 3 (30:57):
We know?

Speaker 1 (30:57):
What's I know it's the Eagles play. I believe NFL
RAGS seasons starts. I'm sure it's Thursday night, Yes, Cowboys Eagles.
That's September fourth. There's not gonna be a game on
the seventeenth. Yeah, we kind of have to move it

(31:20):
because I'd like to be able to go to a
sports bar in Peace two and not have somebody melting
down because they're serving meat or something. I don't know,
not that that's too regular, but just in general, I'm
here for it. All right, and then Ross wants it
is we'll just call it a late birthday gift, buddy.
I'll let you have that. So, yeah, mark your calendars accordingly,

(31:43):
I guess would be the takeaway there.

Speaker 2 (31:45):
All right?

Speaker 1 (31:46):
Three words I'm gonna tease this story. I got coming
up with three words, and I think these three words
are enough to interest most people. And the three words
are homemade hand grenade. Homemade hand grenade. Right now, you

(32:07):
know that's gonna be a good story, probably not for
everyone involved in the story, but most definitely for the
story itself.

Speaker 2 (32:14):
Did you make that for me for my day?

Speaker 1 (32:17):
Well, you know what, I don't. I don't want to
spoil any surprises. So Ross and I have two more hours,
so we count down to the weekend. So there is that,
and as you will be doing as well. But we'll
the weekend have in store for us weatherwise, Race Stagic
will be along to share the news with us, and

(32:38):
I think most people with the sound of my voice
just hoping it's not a crap ton more rain because
we're all all full up on that. Alrighty, A few
things to get into one I'll do here just in
a moment, the the homemade hand grenade story, because look,
you tell me, those three words are in a story.

(32:59):
I'm I'm reading that bad boy and this one's a doozy. Also,
uh and this is horrible. A woman tried to essentially
John Bobbitt or Lorraina Bobbitt her husband and is not
gonna she is not gonna go to jail for it.

(33:21):
So I don't like where this is trending. I'd be
very curious to see that jury, though some tells me
some tells me there they might have some similarities to
catch my drift, like, I don't know angry angry women
as holy this story is dark man, Uh we got that. Also,

(33:46):
Jasmine Crockett decides she was going to go off yesterday
and a really creepy story for over on Meta where
apparently AI is doing the work that the nation's child
molesters just won't do. As horrible as that sounds, all right,
let me go to this. Let me go to this
homemade hand grenade first, so believe it or not. And

(34:09):
this tends to be a hallmark of and I know
I'm I'm stereotyping here. This seems to be a hallmark
of leftist run cities where people think they can just
go out and do whatever they want. Carjackings, constant break ins,
people just smashing windows on vehicles, even steal what's in there,
or maybe even steal the vehicle. And if you head

(34:32):
out to Oregon. You got a lot of that. That's
where we start today. And as a result, a homeowner,
a guy by the name of David ray Allen, was
very very nervous, right because on his street there had
been quite a number of break ins, auto thefts, those
kinds of things, and even when his neighbors had called

(34:53):
the police previously, really little had been done. So he decided,
he's a tinker, and so he did what I guess
he thought was the best way to handle this. He
made a homemade hand grenade. Now I don't know why,
it's Oregon. He could, you know, he could have a firearm,

(35:16):
but he went with homemade hand grenade. And I really
wish there was more of a description as to what
all this thing entails. But I will tell you this.
It was functional kind of it was. It was not inert.
It definitely had exploding power. So he's sitting around one
time and he sees some people out there that are

(35:37):
clearly scoping cars right kind of running in between. They
got their faces covered, they're you know, they're trying to
stay out of sight. They're glancing into cars, and he's
like they're they're coming down by his car, and he's like, oh, no, no, no, no,
you're not breaking into my car, stealing my car. So
he called nine one one, but not right away. He

(36:00):
decided first he was going to go out and confront them,
but not before grabbing his homemade hand grenade. So he
goes out, he confronts them. I'm not sure the exact
exchange that takes place, but whatever it is, he makes
the decision that he's tossing this hand grenade at these guys.
Except mid toss it explodes, So now he doesn't have

(36:23):
an arm, and at that point it blew off his
hand and most of his forearm. So again, it worked,
but it was not well put together. And so while
the other oh, I will say this though, it worked
in the sense too that the people who were there
probably to steal his car or break into it. At

(36:44):
the very least they fled, and so his car did
not get stolen or broken into. So it did accomplish
what he wanted it to accomplish, just not in the
way he probably envisioned that. According to Alan, the grenade
exploded in it his hand just as he tried to
throw it at the suspects. P least say they found chart, cardboard,

(37:04):
human flesh of burnt fuse and a lighter at the scene,
as well as pieces of his hand. And to make
it worse, that's they arrested Alan the guy, the now
one armed man, charged him with unlawful possession and manufacture
of a destructive device and disorderly conduct. Can you have

(37:26):
disorderly conduct when the police show up if your arm's
not there anymore? Because I feel like if you are
a ball of emotions at that point, he kind of
might not be able to control. I don't know. Let's
see here, see how heavy those charges are. I guess

(37:49):
it's not super significant, which is actually a weird thing. Oh,
the other one's missed. Okay, So one's a misdemeanor. One's
the lowest level felony. All right, Well that's the irony.
It doesn't say whether it's a felon or not. But
now he probably won't be able to actually have a
firearm now so, and he's probably not going to make
hand grenades again because he's not very good at it.

(38:10):
So I feel for the dude, right because he's just
sitting there, just waiting for his you know, his his
car to get broken into or stolen, and he clearly
was sitting there. And by the way, this is a
small microcosm of what I say when you don't enforce laws,
and then eventually the public is like, well, if you're

(38:32):
not going to do something, I'm going to do something.
This is how you get the vigil HANDI justice right here.
I know you could say that that's crazy and it's
a one off lunatic, but clearly he had concerns, many
of which were pushed forward by the fact that police
really hadn't done anything when his neighbors had had their
cars broken into. I think I think in the other

(38:54):
story he had had his wife's car got broken into.
Our family members prior to this too. So anyway, if
you're going to make a homemade hand grenade, maybe know
what you're doing, I guess would be the big takeaway there.
Get the anarchist cookbook? Did they have a hand grenades
in that roster? You remember from our childhood, the Forbidden
Anarchist cookbook, that thing with the internet legend that was,

(39:17):
I don't know if they had hand grenades in there. Now,
I'm not going to lie to you. I can make
a pipe bomb what, I don't care whatever. Any and
any kid who took welding class in high school back
in my era. Can make one too. We blew up
that gravel pile in the egg parking likes. There was
always a big pile of gravel there because then during

(39:40):
the winter, you know, they'd use it then to basically
backfill into the parking lot, or just if it washed out,
you'd fill it up with gravel. So we sploited the hell.

Speaker 2 (39:49):
Out of that things.

Speaker 1 (39:49):
And I can't even imagine getting away with in you know,
if I went to high school in like twenty twenty
or something versus in the nineteen nineties. It was the
nineteen nineties. You get your gun rack full in that
parking lot while you simultaneously detonated pipe bombs inside gravel
piles and used all these settlings, so that Jerry Miller,
the ag teacher, and the welding instructor got so mad

(40:12):
because the school got on going why are you using
so much a settling? And yet we'd still do what
we do. But in retrospect that was probably pretty dumb
and we'd all be in a super max prison.

Speaker 2 (40:25):
I was thinking about that, like, how like schoolers, schools
are so different now, but in a different sort of way.
We didn't have you know, we didn't. We didn't fool
around making pipe bombs up in Schenectady. But I remember
being on the playground at Hamilton Elementary, right, and it
was a recess back in the day when we had recess,
you know, lunchtime, we had time to play and we
would all run around with our toy guns. Yeah, and

(40:47):
we would just play whatever was playing with our toy guns.
And I remember afterwards, looking back now, it's kind of
funny but also kind of sad at the same time,
right where the teacher would be like, all right, recess
is done. Put your toy guns back in your cubby correct.

Speaker 1 (41:01):
Yes, cops and robbers or cowboys and Indians or whatever,
it's done. It's done.

Speaker 4 (41:06):
Man.

Speaker 1 (41:06):
But that was it. That was the end of it.
And now do you remember that story we did to
the kid in Fayetteville who had a stick?

Speaker 4 (41:11):
Yeah, yep, it was it was just.

Speaker 1 (41:13):
Outside of Faydville. I can't remember which he had a stick,
and it wasn't he didn't even whittle it. It just
was like a perfect looking broken stick that he found
had the audacity to hold it like a firearm. And uh,
and they're like all right, obviously you're a future school shooter,
so we're gonna have to do something about that. And uh,

(41:35):
and that was just one of many, But I just
remember that one being the local one. In fact, it
got so this is how you this is how you
know it's getting so bad. We literally did a parody
song about it. What's reminisce? Shall we finger gun?

Speaker 2 (41:50):
Finger gun? If he points it at you, you better run.
It's not an air row, it's not a darkner.

Speaker 8 (41:55):
That fingernail looks pretty sharp for you out the kids
got a finger gun?

Speaker 10 (42:02):
Is it deadly?

Speaker 6 (42:03):
No one knows.

Speaker 9 (42:04):
He might have used a finger to pick his nose.

Speaker 1 (42:06):
He could have sucked that dumb when he went to bed,
put them both together, he suspended.

Speaker 2 (42:11):
They fear, They fear the finger gun. He's nott a
pell and gun.

Speaker 1 (42:17):
It's not even a toy.

Speaker 2 (42:20):
It's a finger and.

Speaker 6 (42:21):
Dumb of an eight year old little boy.

Speaker 2 (42:25):
Finger gun.

Speaker 10 (42:26):
Finger gun.

Speaker 2 (42:27):
Most folks to day possessed more than one cut him
in the world. Will you do when the little kid
points is a you? Someone?

Speaker 10 (42:35):
Really should I just say this?

Speaker 9 (42:37):
This would become a crisis to protect us from finger guns. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (42:43):
So, and that that was the favorite one was with
a stick, but they're really The big one was the
finger gun. And every factoid in that song is true.
It was an eight year old who made a finger motion,
a finger gun motion, on a playground and they suspended.

Speaker 2 (42:57):
Him right and then, like I said, go back to
my day, back in my day, back in the crazy eighties, right, Yeah,
we're running around the playground with actually like toy guns.

Speaker 1 (43:05):
Yeah, lunatics we we could have. We would bring the
little were little kids, uh, the little behund that with
the pop caps, you know, the little red the little
red things that would fire through they had the little
gunpowder charging there. Yeah, you can have those at school.
I think the rule is you could do it in
there because they have a certain smell that they give off.
But you can play with that outside.

Speaker 2 (43:26):
I'm just thinking now, like the way in the like
outside of school. There was one birthday, I don't remember
what it was like where I was six or seven,
where all I wanted for my birthday was like literally
everything from the Army Navy store. I was like, I
want all that stuff because I thought it was so
cool and my dad was a vent and I wanted
to be like my dad, you know, the former marine
and my eyes my hero and like for that birth yeah, yeah, yeah,

(43:49):
So for that birthday, I got like an old like
World War two or something like gas mask and like
the army shovel and the army flashlight with the different
colored lenses you could. Yeah, also an axe and a saw,
like the canteen and the belt and all this stuff.
And then he took my bicycle. I would drive around
the right around the block and my bicycle and he
painted it camouflage, so I would go around the block

(44:12):
wearing all this stuff with my toy gun. And can
you imagine if you saw that?

Speaker 1 (44:16):
Now you'd be all the cops and then you murdered
the Vietnamese. No oh you did not. Okay, well I
didn't know what how thorough you were going there. And
now it's kind of you would call the cops on
that kid even if he was five. No, no, now,
you'd call the cops even if he had nothing. Like now,
when you're when you're driving around and you see like
a young kid by himself, you assume, like, where's his parents?

(44:37):
Why is he walking by himself? Well, who's with him?
Why is he running away?

Speaker 2 (44:40):
Is in danger?

Speaker 1 (44:41):
Now? He's walking home from his buddy's face. Yeah, that's
how that works, man, dude. The wildest thing the pipe bombs,
notwithstanding the wildest thing, because they really didn't want us
doing that, but you had to catch us. But like
in permissiveness is uh literally. The very class that I
took that led me to what I do today was

(45:04):
sophomore year of high school and there were two incidents
in this class. It was a mass calm journalism class.
The first one was went they took us to the
radio station. I was a smart ass. I applied and
I ended up getting a job at a little fourteen
fifty am KBBS in Buffalo, Wyoming. And then the other
thing was we wrote news articles and me and my

(45:25):
bay paired up. Me and my buddy wrote an article
about how two of the coaches or the pe teachers
would go behind the kind of where the gym was
and smoke on school property. So we did at expose
what we failed to recognize. But it was that, and
I guess we didn't fail to recognize it. We knew it.
One of the teachers in our story that we turned

(45:47):
in was the spouse of the teacher who taught the class,
Missus Baron her husband, mister Baron, who was our wrestling coach,
and John Lynch, who was our guidance counselor but was
one of my football coaches. So we did this expose
because we thought we were and then we realized how
corrupt the journalism is because missus Barrett refused to grade

(46:07):
us on. It made us write another story because we
did an expose showing that her husband was violating school policy.
So little like fourteen fifteen year old me is getting
a real taste of the corruption that is journalism. However,
the incident that really was crazy was part of that
was also teaching you to publicly speak right that makes sense.

(46:30):
So we had to figure out a dem a demonstration
to give to the class right. It had to be
hands on, had to demonstrate how to do something to
accomplish it. As though we're given a seminar kind of base.
It off almost like an infomercial, And I decided I
was going to show the class how to assemble, disassemble,

(46:51):
and clean a shotgun. And they're like cool. So I
brought my shotgun in. I had gotten it for Christmas
the year before I brought my I was a seven sixty,
the old pump master. I brought that thing in. I
then demonstrated using a firearm in a sophomore class how

(47:12):
to do all of those things, and everyone just was like,
this is normal whatever.

Speaker 2 (47:17):
And I did a good job on it, by the way, Right,
So there you were in Wyoming, Yeah, living in a
single room shack, making pipe bombs and taking apart shotguns.

Speaker 1 (47:28):
Hey man, there's bears and stuff.

Speaker 2 (47:30):
That's right, what do you want?

Speaker 1 (47:32):
I was showing people how to properly care for a firearm.
A lot of people like the amount of people who
own a gun and then don't actually do maintenance on it. Oh,
you just asking for trouble. But yeah, they're just like.
The only deal was I had to bring the shotgun
in in its case, and then I had to drop
it off in the class or no, we're not dropping

(47:52):
I dropped it off of the guidance count in Lynch's office,
and then in between classes I could then grab it.
I just grabbed it. Was walking through the damn school
and was up on the second floor and his on
the first floor. Is walk through the school with a
case shotgun taken into the class, do my demo, drop
it off at the end, and then and then that
was it and I got a good grade. Man, can

(48:13):
you imagine a school allowing a fifteen year old to
do that? Now I think I was fifteen.

Speaker 2 (48:19):
No, it would make the news.

Speaker 1 (48:22):
Everyone would be fired from the school for allowing it.
But and then I would be in some some kid
whoscou somewhere going on? Was a dumb idea? All right?
Speaking of dumb ideas, the AI chatbots over on Meta,
I would say, not operating how they want. We'll give

(48:42):
you that story. Next, Hang on the assault with the
Deli weapon guy. Yep, that's a pun. The guy who
threw the subway sandwich of the federal agent and tried
to run off, who is now charged with a felony.
By the way, the update is hit where he worked? Well,
I would say where he works where he used to work,

(49:04):
Believe it or not. According to Attorney General Pam Bondy,
Sean Charles Dunn is the guy's name. He's thirty seven,
who is now facing the felony assault charge for the
sandwich strike. Also was a DOJ employee work for the
Department of Justice.

Speaker 2 (49:22):
Man, how broken is that system?

Speaker 1 (49:25):
What the sandwich?

Speaker 9 (49:25):
And no?

Speaker 2 (49:26):
Like the people like yeah, because you'll hear all way.
You know the people working there, they're good, unbiased people,
and they're not politically motivated, and they you.

Speaker 1 (49:32):
Know, they're some of those people, are that right?

Speaker 2 (49:35):
But then you see like this kind of stuff where
the guy's attacking a fed with a sandwich. Yeah, man, yeah, I.

Speaker 1 (49:41):
Guess he can't claim he didn't know. You can't do that.
Well anyway, not only is he fired, but he's facing
a felony, which will make further employment a little more
difficult because look, I don't know that he's going to
have a defense on this. The only thing he can
hope for is some judge who essentially decides to go
in and you know, basically violate their oath. And it's like,

(50:04):
all right now, yeah, even though there's clear video evidence
of you doing this thing, and the statute is pretty
clear on this. While it doesn't say sandwich, it says
object not guilty. Right, that's the that's the only thing
that saves his bud. Although he's not going to get
a job back at the DOJ anytime soon. But yeah,

(50:25):
to Ross's point, this lunatic's running around and I don't
know exactly how much influence he had over at the DOJ.
But like you think, this guy hasn't had a finger
on the scale in one way or another over stuff.

Speaker 2 (50:41):
Yeah, it's a miniature version of the swamp right, See
as these unelected bureaucrats are people in power who are like, oh,
I'm going to do my you know, I'm doing it
for the better good.

Speaker 1 (50:48):
Yeah. Yeah, And think about the sheer number of them
that you had to have, not just the high profile guys,
but all the rest of the people to execute what
we're now seeing with all of the Russia stuff. Yes, exactly,
I mean that's not I know that there's four or
five kind of big faces there, you know, Andy McCabe

(51:08):
and some of those cats, But call me and those
But the reality is the amount of underlings it would
have taken to do that is not a small number,
and they went along with it. You really didn't have
any leaks in this case, save the one whistleblower. Most
of this stuff is most of us say, unfortunately but fortunately,

(51:30):
actually most of this stuff that's coming to light is
really emerging under the under threat of force. But it
wasn't organically going to come out. With the exception of
the one main whistleblower, they're pretty much having a twist
arms to get a lot of these details, and of
course they're also then finding treasure troves of documents because

(51:51):
if there's one thing bureaucrats love, it's procedural stuff like this.
So stupid they wrote it down specifically, here's here's his gig.
So he worked in the Justice Department's Criminal Division, okay,
as an international affairs specialist, So basically he would he

(52:15):
would handle cases of fugitives who were abroad and held
foreign countries on extradition matters of their own fugitives. So
that sounds like something where bias absolutely could manipulate things, right,
because sometimes we're getting into, you know, extradition stuff where
there is a political angle in it. So, but just

(52:39):
being on the on the on the the actual criminal
division side, who the hell knows. Dunn appeared primarily to
work in more of a paralegal capacity, assisting attorneys and
handling large volumes of cases, including litigation in those matters.
He is not an attorney, I guess so, or at
the very least he does not. He's not listed as

(53:00):
having a DC bar card nor having a car to
where he's from, which I think is Pennsylvania. Originally no Michigan,
Michigan or Pennsylvania. Well, I can't remember, but somewhere else
they checked that they didn't see one. Let's see here. Oh.
In addition to the video, according to the complaint, done

(53:21):
was success. He's successfully attempted to flee on foot. They
were able to track him down, and he did tell
the officer at the time that he was quote he said,
I did it. I threw a sandwich. Yeah, the only
way this guy doesn't end up with a felony. I mean,
they'll probably try to pull him down, but I don't

(53:41):
think Pam Bond he's gonna have any bandwidth for that
because and I saw people going, what was a sandwich?
But it's not because it's not about it being a sandwich.
This is what people, I think intentionally are attempting to
not understand. It's about setting a precedent that you're not
gonna throw anything at law enforcement who are literally legally
doing their job. A lot of people have had this.

(54:06):
The ship has sailed mentally, like when they were bulldozing.
They're bulldozing the homeless encampments. I don't know if you're
signing the video yesterday and They're like, they can't just
do that. There's a process. No, there's not. The process
has already been because it's already illegal in d C
to do that. You cannot take over parts of the
National Mall and turn it into or the area down

(54:29):
by the Kennedy Centers where I saw I'm doing it.
You cannot just set up, you know, huge homeless encampments there.
You can't set them up outside of the Union Station
or whatever. The fact is, the DC just decided that
they weren't going to enforce that. It doesn't it but
it remains on the books and it says they will

(54:51):
clear it. By the way, they also got a heads up.
Remember it was Friday when Trump made the statement that
the homeless people are going to have to leave. You
don't go home, but you can't stay here. And if
you want, we'll go ahead and get you into an
addiction program or somewhere, but you're not going to be
camping on public property. Oh, Ross, I forgot. Did you
see the You see the clip of Trump yesterday talking

(55:12):
about the beautiful grass?

Speaker 2 (55:15):
Did you see that? My buddy Michael, who I'm gonna
boldoze his house, he sent it to me like a
few days ago.

Speaker 1 (55:18):
Yeah, okay, all right, so I just saw that, Yes,
say can you can you load that in? That's great?
Like this is this is just pure trump Man, but
like this is part and parcel of it because a
lot of these areas, even though he says it in
his own Trumpian way as he does, and it's kind
of funny actually the way he says it. But but
like one of the problems is that you've had these

(55:40):
homeless encampments and they have because you just they've they've
you know, they've groomed the area, attended to flatten the area,
which is understandable. And when you pitch a tent in
the woods, that's what you do, just not the woods
of the Kennedy Center. And so you have parts of
these parks that are just tore up. Man, and then
he's talking about general neglect and stuff. Anybody's not wrong too.

(56:05):
Like if you go back and you look at pictures
of the National Mall and some of these other places,
you don't see the tag graffiti, you don't see the
homeless encampments we're talking, you know, photos from decades ago.
You see the the lush, beautiful lawns which exist in
some parts or all the people that are going to camp,
and especially when you get down by the Lincoln Memorial
down there, people just laying blankets out and just hanging out,

(56:27):
having a picnic in the trees. You know, it is
it is their version of the Central Park, so to speak.
And it's just it's gross because you know, it's it's
half people deciding that they can just go ahead and
live there, and the other half is deferred maintenance on
the part of what's going on in DC. And that's
not squarely on DC because a lot of these parks

(56:49):
are under the jurisdiction of the you know, the National
Park Police, you know, federal police, and so you also
have the last administration which basically agreed with the about
not enforcing some of this stuff and just let it be.
So we'll get into that. I'll play the audio for
you coming up. Do we got mister Stagic here already,

(57:10):
because we've got a few things we need to get into.
Uh I I don't know, maybe I misheard you yesterday.
I feel like I feel like we got a lot
more rain than was being predicted. Am I Am I wrong?
Or maybe not you necessarily, but just my understanding of it.
Thanks you, not as much as Chattanooga. Holy hell, yeah

(57:31):
that video. No, no, no, no, it really.

Speaker 4 (57:34):
I mean it depends on where you are, I mean
specifically any one given point, right. You know, you didn't
get much train as somebody else might have gotten. But no,
we had some of the rain and some of the
heavy rain in the forecast, depending on where that band.
We had one yesterday morning, one the morning before. We've
had a couple of mornings where they had it.

Speaker 1 (57:52):
But there's a bunch of vehicles that are still standing
from last night.

Speaker 4 (57:56):
Yeah, well, you know what I think our messaging was.
You know, make sure you know water covered roadways and
all that. Make sure you're not crossing watercovered roads.

Speaker 1 (58:04):
Snip across too.

Speaker 4 (58:05):
You can skip across the top. I mean, the faster
you go, the quicker you'll get across. Yeah, Snowbill, do that.
By the way, you can do that on your snowmobile too.
If the ice breaks on on you do that was
our favorite thing when the met alert blake was opening.

Speaker 1 (58:19):
Oh yep, don't do that, by the way, it's dangerous.

Speaker 4 (58:22):
No, no, we don't recommend. I might have video of
me somewhere doing that back in the night.

Speaker 2 (58:25):
You know I have video of me doing.

Speaker 6 (58:28):
So.

Speaker 4 (58:28):
Anyway, both airports officially only a couple of tenths, but
there were surrounding areas that did see more rain, so
you know, it really depended on where you were. And
I think we scattered storms around again as we get
into this afternoon, and then maybe a little bit of
a lessening of the coverage and maybe even the intensity
of the showers thunderstorms tomorrow and for Monday and Tuesday

(58:51):
and Sunday thrown in there too, sorry miss the day.
Next week does look like a much drier week, and
even today the rain chance is more isolated. Same thing
for tomorrow, and that's gonna help us warm up with
a little more dry air and a little more sunshine
to the mid upper eighties and then close to ninety
for the Triangle over the weekend, probably mid upper eighties
for the tried and same thing for next week, mid
to upper eighties for most of us. And from Sunday

(59:12):
to Wednesday, no mention rain, So we get into a
drier weather pattern and there'll be many even today and tomorrow,
especially tomorrow that don't get any rain either. Now we're
gonna keep an eye on erin we will become a
major hurricane. Coastal impacts, yes, coastal flooding, beach erosion, dangerous
rip currents as we get into the weekend, probably next week.
Doesn't look like a direct hit, but getting awful close

(59:33):
to the outer banks in eastern North Carolina, and some
model runs at least some of the outer fringes, so
that is something we will certainly have to keep our
eyes on.

Speaker 1 (59:41):
Okay, so it's going to do that Bermuda turn thing.

Speaker 4 (59:44):
Yeah, it's supposed to make a turn. Now Bermuda obviously
could be in the bullseye.

Speaker 1 (59:48):
But I just called the Bermuda turn just because of
the angle.

Speaker 4 (59:52):
Yeah, right, Yeah, So it makes the turn, and that's
the way it looks. I mean, there was some guidance
even yesterday, one little jaunt to the west, So we'll see.
Even if you get on the western side of what's
going to be a powerful storm and just a little
bit closer, it may not be the center, but there
could be greater impacts than what the guidance is saying
right now for eastern parts of North Carolina, especially because

(01:00:12):
it sticks out a little bit further to the east.

Speaker 1 (01:00:15):
So you know, you're probably not gonna make the runout
to the shelf from Oregon inlet.

Speaker 4 (01:00:18):
That day that probably not twelve will be underwater.

Speaker 1 (01:00:22):
Hey, I just I just realized you're probably not gonna
be here September fifth, are you Nope?

Speaker 4 (01:00:28):
You're right, nice dude, I was getting really of course,
why wouldn't if Eagles Cowboys Thursday night? Why would I
be here from.

Speaker 1 (01:00:36):
Bey game of the season. Are you nervous about that?
Do you want to be the opening game of the
season against that team? Because I know how you guys
feel about each other.

Speaker 4 (01:00:43):
Well, I just don't mind us getting railroaded right out
of that, right out of the gate, and then I
just don't I could keep my expectations where they are.

Speaker 2 (01:00:50):
That's very long.

Speaker 1 (01:00:51):
Okay, Well, if you think you're gonna get railroad and
then come.

Speaker 11 (01:00:53):
To work the next day and take your mind off
of it, you know, maybe, I mean maybe, But well, actually,
my cousin's coming down, so it's kind of a gathering
at the house, So it's all a big I'm more
excited about two weeks from tomorrow.

Speaker 4 (01:01:04):
That's that's going to be more exciting.

Speaker 2 (01:01:06):
Dude.

Speaker 1 (01:01:07):
We looked at November first, have you leaved in November
first scheduled too. Oh, I have college football.

Speaker 4 (01:01:11):
Oh I know that's North Carolina Clemson, right.

Speaker 1 (01:01:14):
Dude, I'm telling you, uh the uh there's a couple
of weekends for college football that are just insane. Insane.

Speaker 4 (01:01:23):
Yeah, two weeks is two weeks from now? Was also,
I mean was a Texas Ohio State at noon? And
then I forget like the afternoon games. I told my wife,
I said, we're going, Well, I don't know if we're
going to the game because tickets are like five hundred bucks,
but I said, we need to be parked somewhere at noon.
That's probably going to be so so club.

Speaker 1 (01:01:39):
Okay, all right, well.

Speaker 4 (01:01:41):
Look at you take it.

Speaker 1 (01:01:42):
All right, man, I'm just happy football is back, so
we'll get me too. All right, there you go. Raced
agic from the Weather Channel. All right, seven forty eight
hang on here to link to a video here. Ask
me if I know what kind of horse this is.
I will tell you that is a giant horse. Apparently
there's a couple where they live. I live in Trinity.
All right, so just south of the triad here that

(01:02:06):
is going viral. What is the I'm trying to find
some deets here. I looking at it all right, So
first of all, let me explain this. If you don't
anything about horses, So you have horses, but you have
you know what, draft horses. When you talking about draft horses,
most people think of the Clydesdales, which is that is

(01:02:26):
a breed of draft horse. But there's a lot more.
You can get a Belgian draft, There's the Creamers, the
American Creams, Morgan's, the biggest ones are Shires. Which ross
you ever been next to a draft horse? You obviously
like the Budweiser horses. You've ever been like near one
at some event or something, Yeah, I have, Yes, Okay,
that does like it's an intimidating looking thing. And I

(01:02:49):
will tell you the draft horses and some I don't know,
maybe some people. We didn't have any draft horses. We
had walkers, we had mustangs. We had quarter horses, obviously,
although my mom did have two Arabians when I was
a little kid, but I don't really remember them. I
just remember my uncle was not a fan of them
for whatever reason. So like, but they're very docile, like

(01:03:13):
remarkably docile, is my understanding. But I, like I said,
we didn't read any of these big horses. I would
say that looks like a perch ron, but I don't know.
But yeah, what is this? All? Right? So they produced
videos Heather Heather and Josh Stevens are the couple, and
they posted some videos of this horse and everyone's freaking out.

(01:03:37):
Man rightfully, So geez, that dude's not a small dude
who's standing next to him either? Yeah, they're really impressive looking.
I mean it's very majestic looking.

Speaker 2 (01:03:50):
No, I've been in one of those horses before too.

Speaker 1 (01:03:53):
What do you mean they're not for riding?

Speaker 9 (01:03:56):
Well?

Speaker 2 (01:03:56):
No, So I was playing I was playing Red Dead
Redemption too, and I had my horse that they given
the beginning of the game, little baby horse. And this
is up in the mountains and I found like a
like a wagon where all the people were dead and
this like beast of a horse was pulling it. I'm like, well,
that's my horse. Now it's like a tank.

Speaker 1 (01:04:10):
Did you yeat that horse as well?

Speaker 2 (01:04:12):
Eventually?

Speaker 1 (01:04:13):
Oh wow, okay, yeah, so uh AnyWho I did? So
so if you see that, Yeah, a bunch of these
videos are going viral on the TikTok I to go see. Yeah,
it doesn't say what kind of like that's my guests
of it. I don't know they're look, they're cool looking horses.
And I always joked and I'm not a horse fan
on on air. But the reason I wasn't is because

(01:04:34):
so much of my youthful chores were around horses.

Speaker 2 (01:04:39):
And you know, you you resent what you got to
do as a kid. He also, you saved that girl
that was bitten by the snake, where you got to like,
you know, fly back on your horse back to town
to save her.

Speaker 1 (01:04:47):
Right? Was this in Red Dead as well? Now that
was a true grit. Oh, I see what you're talking
about there. Uh no, I will tell you none of
those were draft horses in that movie. So AnyWho, Yeah,
I did. When I was younger, I did get an
opportunity where a guy did have a Clydesdale and I
did it did have a saddle on it, because I

(01:05:08):
think we could fit any of our saddles on it.
But I did sit on it, which probably wasn't smart,
but I wanted to see what it felt like up there.
And it's quite intimidating to be at that height. You know,
we got Tennessee walkers are going like thirteen and a half,
fourteen hands and then you jump on one of these
things and it's like, yeah, but like I do like

(01:05:29):
a good looking horse there, man, So kudos to this couple.
All right, I just ran, I just went horse rambled
through my segment. We've got Pete Calendar coming up here,
so I'm going to get to the meta story here
in the final half hour. Apparently it's another one of
these where the chatbots and the ai are going a
little a little off the res, so to speak.

Speaker 3 (01:05:47):
And.

Speaker 1 (01:05:49):
In a very very very creepy way. And it is
time to chat with our radio buddy, Pete Calendar wb
T mid Days via the iHeartRadio app. If so inclined, Pete,
how you doing this morning? I'm doing well.

Speaker 3 (01:06:04):
Did you know that this is our two hundredth conversation.

Speaker 1 (01:06:10):
Our two hundredth conversation? Yeah? Well, I mean on the air, Oh, okays.

Speaker 3 (01:06:17):
Are two hundred. Yeah, it's a two hundred of.

Speaker 1 (01:06:21):
The times often yeah right, yeah, yeah yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:06:25):
And the only reason I know that is because I
do tags, you know, and so when the tag pops
up for a conversation, it's like, oh, it's one hundred
and ninety nine, and so this is the two hundred.

Speaker 1 (01:06:36):
Well you should have said some we'd have a big party,
a big blowout. Man.

Speaker 3 (01:06:40):
I just found out moments ago. So yeah, congratulations to you.

Speaker 1 (01:06:46):
I would have got you a sandwich at about seventy
five miles an hour or so.

Speaker 3 (01:06:51):
Yeah, I could throw one in your direction.

Speaker 1 (01:06:53):
What I You know. I love how people are like,
it's only a sandwich, and it's like, it's not about
the sandwich. I mean, it's fun to speculate whether it's
a tuna fish so we have juicy smole lay connectivity,
or a meatball, which is a tragedy, perfectly good meatballs
going to waste. It's not about the sandwich. It's about

(01:07:14):
it's about the duality of what's going on up there,
because you have lunatics who apparently used to work for the.

Speaker 3 (01:07:19):
D O J. Yeah till he threw the sandwich.

Speaker 1 (01:07:22):
Tilly threw the sandwich, and and and but also I
keep seeing these videos and a lot of them are
black residents. I will tell you that who are posting
videos of themselves doing crazy things. I saw this woman, Pete.
This is bonkers. You ready for this, buddy? You know
what she was doing. She was at a stoplight with
her windows down, and she couldn't believe it. Yeah, yeah, yeah,

(01:07:44):
it was after dark. She was at a stop light
over by Navy Yard with her windows down, and she's
just like it was like Christmas. She was so happy.
So yeah, we haven't we haven't chatted since they finally
pull the trigger on this thing, and now we kind
of know what what it looks like with the DOJ guy,

(01:08:05):
I wonder if do you think that felony will stick?
I mean, it sounds like Bondie wants it right and
the imperia wants it. But my question is all it's
going to take his one judge to go, Well, we're
just going to go and plee him down and and
well I.

Speaker 3 (01:08:20):
Think that already happened. They released him on his own
personal recognizance, and the judge did so because I think
the judge said that they felt the felony was was too.

Speaker 4 (01:08:32):
Harsh of a charge.

Speaker 1 (01:08:34):
Right, But they haven't officially blown the thing out yet,
so you just think it's a matter of time basically, right.

Speaker 3 (01:08:40):
Look, this guy his name is Sean Dunn, which, if
we want to be polite, I guess we call him
finished Sean finished. But his service at the DOJ it
well now finished. He was hired under Biden and then
promoted right before Trump took office. And so but look,
he's going to land on his feet. I'm sure he

(01:09:03):
will get you know, some gigs with you know, the
resistance firms or n g os or maybe even some media.

Speaker 4 (01:09:13):
Position.

Speaker 3 (01:09:13):
I don't know, I think, but there's always there's always
a place for the resistance fighters in you know, the
network that they have created to protect people from you know,
on firings, Yes, consequences exactly.

Speaker 1 (01:09:28):
Yeah, isn't that? Isn't that? I mean, that is the thing.
Every time i'd see somebody, you know, somebody on the
left who basically would get purged, right they do something
where it just you couldn't keep them employed at some
government office or you know some of the college presidents
who were you know basically like I don't you know
a Jews, I don't even think about them. You just know, instinctively,

(01:09:53):
knowing what we you know, from everything that we've seen
over the years doing what we do. You're just like,
you just know they're going to go get a gig
and they're probably gonna make more money in some instances well,
and yeah, they get decimated. On the right, there are
a lot of people never recover man.

Speaker 3 (01:10:07):
Right, yeah, they're dead, yeah, socially, reputationally.

Speaker 4 (01:10:11):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:10:12):
And this has been going on for a very long time.
I mean, look at you know, we had in the
what seventies, we had like like many I want to say,
maybe like a thousand attacks on government offices and officials
from leftist terrorists in America.

Speaker 1 (01:10:32):
Hold, sorry, that's been memory. Hold yeah, oh.

Speaker 3 (01:10:35):
Sorry, okay, So yeah, So the people that were involved
in those incidents, they all landed in academia. They all
trained up the next generation of the revolutionaries.

Speaker 1 (01:10:48):
I mean Obama yes, correct.

Speaker 3 (01:10:50):
Yeah, absolutely right, launched his political career in the living
room of a domestic terrorist. Yeah, two of them, yeh yeah,
Bill Airs and Bernadine and so yeah, these people who
have these connections to violent leftist revolutionary organizations, they end
up in these positions drawing very nice salaries where they

(01:11:14):
get to continue their quote work in raising up the
next generation, because that's what the focus is, like, that's
the point is to keep training up the next generation.
So you end up with a critical mass of revolutionaries
that help to tear down the civilizational systems.

Speaker 1 (01:11:33):
Do you think do you think it is along the
same line do you think that I am a bad
person because I really want William Mullens McLeod to be
the next governor of South Carolina just for the content,
is now, yeah, okay, all right, No, no, not at all.

Speaker 6 (01:11:51):
No.

Speaker 3 (01:11:51):
Look, I mean everybody acts in their own self interest, right,
and so from a self interest standpoint, yeah, I mean
this is show prep. It will be it will be
show prep gold for years. So I don't think anybody
can begrudge you for that.

Speaker 1 (01:12:09):
I mean that's just.

Speaker 3 (01:12:10):
And look, you're going to create great content out of
his antics and such, and so they will benefit as well, right,
others will benefit from your hilarious takes and reactions to
what this guy does.

Speaker 1 (01:12:24):
We're trying to figure out by the way, this is,
I guess if you're just super you weren't with us earlier.
This is the dem South Carolina governor's candidate, currently the
only declared candidate, I believe, and he screwed up so
big that his own party's telling him he should probably
not run. The Nancy Mace will most likely be the

(01:12:44):
next governor. She's she's got her own moments, a drama queen,
so like the dude, the debate would be phenomenal, but
he was arrested in May basically half dressed in his
underwear in the more named Charleston. He's in the report.
They describe he's exhibiting behavior as somebody who's like on cocaine,

(01:13:06):
and he's squacked and screaming like a lunatic.

Speaker 7 (01:13:13):
Right now, because I promise that I will not do this.
What's the start of this campaign?

Speaker 1 (01:13:21):
He dropped a couple of hard r N words. We're
trying to figure out on the show if he sounds
more like uh Downey Junior's uh uh character from Tropic
Thunder being full of treat before the world broke down,
or the Ultimate Warrior, Right, so you're on team Ultimate Warrior. Huh.

Speaker 4 (01:13:47):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:13:47):
He definitely has heavy, heavy w W E vibes.

Speaker 1 (01:13:51):
Okay, all right, yeah, yeah, it's.

Speaker 3 (01:13:55):
The scratchiness of the throat. I think it's that, you know,
kind of that that that guttural rumbling sound that he's
got going that makes him different than the Tropic Thunder character.

Speaker 1 (01:14:07):
I see. Okay, yeah. Ross seemed to think it was
a combination of both.

Speaker 3 (01:14:12):
I see. I would say both because it's the Tropic Thunder,
it's Robert Downey Junior's accent. That that that is so
you gotta you gotta you got to marry the accent
with the with the affect, right, and that gives you
the the Democrats dominatorial candidate.

Speaker 1 (01:14:30):
By the way, did you see did you see the
He finally did respond about why he's it's actually this
is actually a good thing, which I guess.

Speaker 3 (01:14:37):
Yeah, his rudder is true, I think he said, is
his rudder is solid or.

Speaker 1 (01:14:41):
Something on the illegal and the police and how evil
they are so right, well, I.

Speaker 3 (01:14:48):
Mean, just keep in mind, like the reason why he
ended up interacting with police was because he's walking around
the battery in his underwear and shoes and he scor
at the top of his lungs and people then called
police because there's a crazy person walking around downtown Charleston,

(01:15:09):
which that is not unusual. Okay, like it's yeah, I
have many many times. Yes, I have partied in Charleston
a lot. I've never gone the underwear only yelling through
the streets route. But yeah, like this is not this
is not unusual behavior, but it is kind of disturbing
in the battery. And so because there are a lot

(01:15:30):
of nice houses in the battery, right, so you've you've
got this guy walking around. The police come up to him,
and you know, he's obviously being belligerent, and he won't
tell them who he is. He then settles, I guess
at one point on being identified as Superman, uh, and
then later on god yeah, and then he he says
he's not gonna he's demanding to be released from the

(01:15:52):
handcuffs because it's bedtime and he needs to go to
bed or something. And then he makes some threats to
their Republican goodnatorial candidate Wilson. Yeah, yeah, Rocke yet kicking
his teeth in and that sort of thing. So yeah,
it looks it's clear that he was obviously having some
sort of a mental health crisis and or some uh

(01:16:16):
you know, narcotic induced.

Speaker 1 (01:16:19):
Yeah, yeah, something like that.

Speaker 3 (01:16:22):
And so but hey, you know what I like, that's
the thing like some Democrats are now like, dude, you
need to step aside. You should not be the standard
bearer for us in this election. So he doesn't seem
like he's going to withdraw. So what Democrats now need
to do is to get somebody else to run against
him and make sure that this guy is not the

(01:16:42):
candidate for governor, not that it's going to matter. It's
not like this South Carolinians are going to put a
Democrat in that position. But still, you don't want to
create fodder for the National Party and the state down
ballot races for the Democrats. So they need to find
somebody else that's going to be able to actually beat
this guy.

Speaker 1 (01:17:01):
So let's talk about our own governor's race in the momentum.
So I'm on Twitter, You're on Twitter a lot. I
have seen every hack leftist campaign person over the years,
who is now all of a sudden, they're back in
North Carolina. They're ready to rumble. I'm joining Cooper's team.
Blah blah blah, including cast offs from Gretchen Whitmer's people.

(01:17:22):
So you know she's she's a peach. Where is the
other side's momentum? Where? Where's where's our boy? What's he?
What's he doing?

Speaker 6 (01:17:33):
Uh?

Speaker 1 (01:17:36):
Yes, where where's the moment I don't know where is he?
Doubt doing stuff? I haven't even seen events he's doing.
I mean, is he doing events down in Charlotte? I
know he did the one, but is too early to
get rolling because the polling has him down right now
by like twelve points, but I don't really put any
stock in it because I think it's a name recognition thing.
But what is most telling about the polling is when

(01:17:58):
they asked people you're deaf voting, you're passionate about voting
for Cooper, it's like forty Whattley that it's more of
I guess I'll vote for him. And Republicans are going
to have to fix that if they want to win
this thing.

Speaker 3 (01:18:13):
Well, see, I don't know, because it seems like the Republicans,
I mean, look at Ted budd right. I don't know
if having a superstar, high name id kind of a
candidate actually helps Republicans in general races. In general elections,
because you want to get some of that suburban crossover vote,

(01:18:37):
like your moderate, mushy middle types, you know, and if
you are some big name and you're making big waves
and stuff think Mark Robinson, a lot of that kind
of candidacy I think turns off some people in that
mushy middle. If you are more of a milk toast,
vanilla kind of a Republican, that seems to be something

(01:18:58):
that like people in the middle are like, oh okay,
I can go along with that guy now, On the
other side, you've got Cooper, and it's kind of amazing
that the guy, after two terms as governor, four terms
as attorney general, that he doesn't have more of momentum
or more of this, like definitely enthusiastic about voting for

(01:19:18):
him than he currently stands at. Like that's kind of
odd to me as well, that he's only at forty percent,
you know, like, why wouldn't that be higher if he
was such a successful governor?

Speaker 1 (01:19:31):
Well, I no, no, no, that's the percentage of people
who said that they were excited to vote for him
because they gave him the difference. I don't know if
you saw the breakdown of the Polly came out.

Speaker 3 (01:19:42):
I have not seen the breakdown, but I'm suspicious that
it was a huge words fighting with Roy Cooper. If
you're using excited with Roy Cooper in the same sentence,
I'm automatically suspicious.

Speaker 1 (01:19:53):
No, that's that's a that's a fair point there, all right,
let me flip. Let me flip back over to hang out.
This is a second. Why is this not loading? Well? Anyway,
I was gonna read your quote. I don't have it
in front of me here, but they're going back over
to what they're what they're doing in d C. All right,
so they're they're they're bulldozing the they're bulldozing the the

(01:20:15):
homeless encampment, so everybody Kennedy Center, they were raising them.
People are you can't do that without an eviction. Notice, Nope,
that's not how that works. Not true, sarady against the law.
Just the fact that the last administration on their part
and the the DC Council chose not to enforce it
does not change the law. Trump's gonna he wants to
he wants to make grass great again. I don't know

(01:20:36):
if you saw this, you see that clip of him.
Hold on, take play this for everybody real quick. Uh
right here, check this out.

Speaker 9 (01:20:45):
We're gonna be redoing the parks, redoing the grass. You know,
grass is a lifetime like people have a lifetime, and
a lifetime of this grass is long being gone when
you look at the parks where the grass is all tired, exhausted.
We're going to redo the grass with the finest grasses.
I know a lot about grass because I owned a

(01:21:07):
lot of golf courses.

Speaker 4 (01:21:08):
And if you are, you're not in business, his delivery man.

Speaker 3 (01:21:15):
No, it's true because I was going to say, like, yes,
that makes sense, Like this guy spends so much time
on golf courses.

Speaker 1 (01:21:21):
He knows, he knows, yeah right, yeah, yeah. So how
far is he able to look? He's got to see
what's going on here. How far do you think he's
going to be able to take this thing? Is he
going to make the grass great again? Is he going
to go down to other cities? I got thirty seconds?
Where do you think this is?

Speaker 3 (01:21:39):
I think so? And look this, yeah, this like this
is this is a good issue. Crime is a good
issue for Trump, and he's going to make Democrats go
on the record opposing his intervention in DC, which I
would just simply point out that that is a privilege
that DC gets to have home rule.

Speaker 4 (01:21:54):
That's a privilege.

Speaker 3 (01:21:55):
Uh. And they have obviously, uh, they've obviously squandered.

Speaker 1 (01:21:59):
Their Okay, yeah, they're calling it a ninety one nine issue,
but that's just the numbers. So what do I know?

Speaker 3 (01:22:05):
All right?

Speaker 1 (01:22:07):
In the books, we'll do better next time and we'll
be right back. Realize this this weekend is what is
known as the Great Conjunction, or I guess maybe it's
already underway. So six planets will be lined up invisible
in the early morning skies. It actually goes on for
like a month. But I'm pretty sure that Ross isn't

(01:22:28):
this how the multiverses open up on each other and
then all the bad stuff comes through. Am I misremembering?

Speaker 2 (01:22:35):
I think that was like part of what it was
like throw the Dark World or something.

Speaker 1 (01:22:38):
Right, Yeah, so like it could go really really sideways
this weekend. I guess if or you could just see
planets as part of this planetary parade, so we'll see,
it'll be one or the other. But just wanted you
to just wanted you to know if a giant space centipede,
I don't know, what were those things that came through

(01:22:58):
and the avengers, if you see one of those, then
it happened, okay, And probably you shouldn't try to take
a selfie with it unless you're stupid. Then try to
take a selfie with it and let us know how
that goes. Oh, by the way, just I know that
I usually like the americanized version of tourist scoring season
right with the with the buffalo and occasional bear or

(01:23:20):
a moose. Over in India, Apparently some idiot tourists saw
an elephant like in the wild and was like, I'm
gonna go stand next to that and take a selfie.
You guys want to guess how that went elephant stomped
him and stomped him so aggressively he's in critical condition.
But also used it, and this is the real shame,

(01:23:44):
used its tuss to rip the guy's pants and underwear
off and then stomped him literally kicked as you know what,
into the dirt. So don't take selfies with wild elephants,
I guess if you take any advice away from the
show today. Okay, all right, very good, All right, let
me get to this meta story because oh wait, hold on,
I said, I go to Boston Paul's call, let's go

(01:24:06):
ahead and do this. So oh now he's oh now
he's big mad. All right, whatever, Hey Boston Paul, what's up?

Speaker 3 (01:24:14):
Hey?

Speaker 10 (01:24:14):
That guy the guy to hit the federal officer with
the subway sub you know Judge Demene there, she's the prosecutor.

Speaker 1 (01:24:24):
She she hit his attorney for d Y.

Speaker 10 (01:24:28):
Yeah, she hit him with a foot long of charges.
So I don't I don't see him getting off and
all the.

Speaker 1 (01:24:34):
Chadges that was that for this assault with the Deli
weapon that's more clever.

Speaker 10 (01:24:47):
That's a good one.

Speaker 3 (01:24:47):
I like it.

Speaker 10 (01:24:48):
But uh, well it's a subway, sup, So you gotta
get footwall.

Speaker 4 (01:24:51):
Man.

Speaker 10 (01:24:52):
So what do you think the gamesmorrow? You don't want
to watch a preseason? You know it's football.

Speaker 6 (01:24:57):
Man.

Speaker 1 (01:24:58):
No, here's the only reason the preseason, and trust me
is one. I want to say, I want to see
more of McCarthy, But also I don't want to see
any of our starters hurt. And uh, we're we're we're
gonna we're gonna have a few series with them in again.
So once, once I can breathe easy of that that,
I'm fine. But you see, you guys got a new
cheerleader out there, uh at the uh in the Patriots land.

Speaker 10 (01:25:20):
Huh oh man, you just you got some cheerleaders. I
saw and I sent you a video.

Speaker 1 (01:25:25):
Well we're talking about that's not what we're talking about.
We're talking good.

Speaker 4 (01:25:30):
You just reminded me of it.

Speaker 1 (01:25:32):
Yeah, you're the Patriots have a have a dude cheerleader.

Speaker 10 (01:25:35):
Now, Oh boy. I love the nipping tuck going on
there and the Viking Land.

Speaker 2 (01:25:42):
I don't know if Paul, are you oblivious to the
same thing happening with the patriots. Like they made the
announcement yesterday with the video. Yeah, they had a video
they stuck the dude at it's the same exact thing
as what happened in Minnesota. And they put put out
this promotional video and at the end the big reveal
was the male cheerleader who's just like to do.

Speaker 1 (01:26:00):
Yeah there, yeah the story. So like last weekend, so
we're on patriot stuff, now, try to stick all. I didn't.

Speaker 10 (01:26:10):
I didn't see it. I didn't know about it. It's
so ridiculous. The NFL is just getting so sadeways man,
I don't know. But hey, any who, you have a
good weekend, and and keep the rank up. I don't
want to cut the grass.

Speaker 1 (01:26:25):
What but people, people's people's cars got flooded. Man, did
you feel a little bad? Just try? Don't want to
cut the grout.

Speaker 10 (01:26:34):
If it's kind of rain, you know, you pock up
on the high ground. You know, if you know the
high ground, if you're living, you pack up in the
high ground.

Speaker 1 (01:26:42):
Hawk you pock like Pakistan. I don't I'm not, I
don't even understand you. All right, get out of here, yeah,
good bye? That all right? You have fun lawnmowing stuff,
or you do like Rasta and you hire some random
guy walking by your house with a lawnmower. Super simple.

Speaker 2 (01:26:57):
Actually, today we're getting rid of a lot of the
grass and side of the house that we're laying like
gravel down so.

Speaker 1 (01:27:03):
The construction guys can get in another yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:27:05):
And then we're making like you like a driveway.

Speaker 1 (01:27:07):
So oh that makes sense, so for the seeing access
to the new wing.

Speaker 2 (01:27:12):
So that'll be let less work for Spencer when he
does cut the grass. It's great.

Speaker 1 (01:27:18):
Oh okay, well, I'm glad you're thinking of Spencer, whereas
Boston Paul is only thinking of himself. There, you know,
it's not very not very nice. All right, let me
flip over in the meta thing. This is pretty terrifying.
So we've seen AI have some issues, right, most recently
little Grock action that went in an interesting way. One

(01:27:38):
of our favorites going back to chatbots was of course
the MSNBC or the MSNBC the Microsoft issue where years
ago they put a chatbot. It was attached to Twitter,
and then people have figured out how to manipulate it
with hashtags and within like a few hours, it was

(01:27:59):
denying the Holocaust, dropping the N word and Yeah, it
just went crazy and then they left it plugged in,
which was even crazier. So Facebook is not immune. Executives
at Meta I have they're now reviewing some guidelines that
govern their AI chat bots after the chat bots were

(01:28:21):
engaging in romantic and sensual chats with kids, all stuff
that would have been on to catch a predator, you know,
when they want to get all the chat stuff so
that he had something to read to him while they're
sitting there with no pants and their MIC's hard lemonade.
So that's what's happening here literally with the AI chatbots
they're training, we're interacting with kids, and then it would

(01:28:43):
turn to dirty talk man. And you you mentioned that
the Grock AI thing or what was it whatever, that
weird creepy assistant chick is that you showed me. Oh yeah,
there were some issues there too.

Speaker 2 (01:28:56):
Yeah. No, that's like the the AI Grock Twitter version
of phone sex. Now in the year twenty twenty five,
you had their companions and it has like a child slider.
You you need to touch it so it doesn't get dirty, right,
But I mean it's so easy and just touch it
turns off. So they were having issues with that but
then never seen even when it was in child mode,
it was still getting kind of dirty. Well, we listened

(01:29:19):
to her, by the way, I did finally see what
she looks like. And because it's now every ad on
Twitter is for that check, it's getting so annoying.

Speaker 1 (01:29:27):
Yeah, and so like every everything she said was an innuendo.
We played a little on the air, but I listened
to Rosco through a few commands and questions with it,
and everything came back to filthiness everything.

Speaker 2 (01:29:43):
Yeah, it was sliding, and they were saying when it
was on kids mode, it was still having issues where
it was being like, you know, there's something was going
on there.

Speaker 1 (01:29:53):
So in one instance, the meta chat bot was talking
to what an eight year old? Yeah, and a shirtless
eight year old that was interacting with and kept telling
the child, every inch of you is a masterpiece, a treasure.
I cherish deeply. Your soft, rounded curves invite my touch,

(01:30:13):
they told another thirteen year old. So look at that man.
We had AI doing the the child grooming that America's
predators just won't do, I think, is what's going on there. Yeah,
you don't want to get a handle on that right there.
Why would you have a question, why would you let
your kid interact with an AI chatbot? I'm just asking

(01:30:34):
from it from a parent's perspective, Like, doesn't that sound
like a horrible idea, especially right now where we keep
seeing incidents like this.

Speaker 2 (01:30:42):
You know what it is, it's parents who are tired
of their kids asking them questions, right, because the questions
when your kid never they never stop. And you're like,
all right, we'll just talk to this thing. That's what
it is. It's a laziness and just putting it off
on the AI chatbot, like stop asking me questions as
the robot.

Speaker 1 (01:30:58):
Yeah, okay, Well, if you got a queshu and google
it or something, you know what I'm saying, You're probably
going to run into less of it there. Yeah, I know,
you're absolutely right. I just say, well, I just let
your kids play in the street, and by street, I
mean highway because you know, basically that's probably the same
safety there. Meta did confirm the authenticity of the document,

(01:31:21):
which is basically the guidelines, which somehow we're reviewing this
and in the incident I told you about, the a
shirtless eight year old that was told every interview is
a masterpiece. I treasure I cherished deeply upon review. Meta
reviewed it and said it is acceptable for the chatbot

(01:31:41):
to tell the child that because it's not overtly sexual.
The problem is is if a grown adult like me
in my mid forties, was on in a chat situation
with an eight year old that I can see has
no shirt on, and I said, every inch ofview is
a mass piece I treasure and I cherish deeply. You

(01:32:04):
guys would there would be pitchforks and torches. You couldn't
be like, oh, well, it wasn't sexual, because they're implying
that the AI can't be sexual because it's not, you know,
it's not a human. Which if it trains a child
that that is acceptable for somebody to say to them,
and then a predator says it to them, then it

(01:32:24):
has a It has a negative effect on that kid. Man.

Speaker 2 (01:32:28):
I was reading a story today about AI's effect, specifically
the chatbots on autistic children. I was kind of interested
because this They said the autistic children were becoming super
addicted to it because, like I said, the parents give
them these things like listen, talk to the robot, leave
me alone, and very busy. But the thing is, the
AI chatbots never get tired of talking to you. They

(01:32:50):
will go on and on and on and on and
on and on. So these autistic children become glued to
their phones more than usual, which is really scary.

Speaker 1 (01:32:57):
Yeah, well, I'd be curious the long term effect of that.
But I also I could see where properly done AI
could be a benefit for an autistic kid, right, or
even a kid is just socially awkward or has probably
been around maybe, but not if they're going to be
glued to the screen forever, because yeah, no, no, no,
that's the battle. I have learned to be incredibly patient

(01:33:18):
with my kid, right. These taught me to be like
the patients of Gandhi. Right, But even I eventually get
to the end of my rope where I'm like, okay,
you got to take a break from talking. Daddy's tired,
Just give me a few minutes to reset myself. Whereas
the robot will never stop talking to you and never
gets tired of talking to you. So you become glued
and addicted to that thing more so than the average person.
That's scar Yeah, yeah, that's that is awful. Actually, So well,

(01:33:42):
there you go. So the story is two parts. What
was happening, but also meta making judgment calls saying no,
you can tell an eight year old with no shirt
on that their body's a masterpiece. That's not weird. No,
that's weird, especially if you want them to mimic humans. Okay, anyway,
race stage, Oh crap, we give a fox. Sorry, race stage.
The end of the week forecast.

Speaker 4 (01:34:01):
What do you got? Yeah, less and less rain coverage
till by the end of the weekend where we'll have
none none mentioned. So mid up eighty's today tomorrow. I
did ninety in the triangle, but storm chances this afternoon
more isolated, same thing tomorrow, less rain and no mention
of it. Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, and even Wednesday. Mid uper eighties,
maybe some low nineties. So the trend dryer over the

(01:34:22):
next several days. Keep an eye on Aaron. Certainly will
be some impacts along the coast comes a little further west,
maybe more impacts than less. Talk more about that as
we get it too next week.

Speaker 1 (01:34:32):
Okay, have a good weekend, sir, appreciate it and Jeff
Bellinger's next hang on Happy Friday.

Speaker 12 (01:34:36):
Last month's increase and retail sales turned out to be
slightly weaker than predicted. The government says sales wore up
half a percent in July, but the June advance was
revised upward from six tenths percent to nine tenths percent.
So taken together, we've had a couple of solid months
of consumer spending, with auto sales included. Sales wore up

(01:34:57):
three tenths percent last month, that was right in line
with forecasts. American taxpayers could become stakeholders in Intel, sources
tell Bloomberg. The White House is in talks with the
chip maker, and the government could take a stake in
the company. Federal backing would help Intel complete a giant
semiconductor plant in Ohio that's been on the drawing board

(01:35:17):
for years now. The housing market may get a boost
from the latest decline in mortgage interest rates freddie max
as the average rate on the thirty year fixed is
six point five eight percent, the lowest since October. Airbnb
is looking to attract more budget conscious travelers have a
new policy in the US. The homes sharing site is
waving up front payments for some rentals. The features called

(01:35:40):
reserve now, Pay Later. It's available for listings that have
flexible cancelation policies. Jackie Bezos, the mother of Amazon dot
com founder Jeff Bezos, has died. She and her husband
Miguel were the first to invest in Amazon. Two checks
totaling just under a quarter of a million dollars funda
the startup of the Internet giant thirty years ago. Jackie

(01:36:04):
Bezos was seventy eight and Casey. A report from OMNISEN
says the new tariffs are already costing us. The e
commerce marketing platform says the average American adult is paying
an extra forty seven dollars a month because of the
levies on trading partners.

Speaker 2 (01:36:19):
Casey, all right, Jeff, thank you.

Speaker 1 (01:36:22):
Have a good weekend, sir, and we'll chat tomorrow or month.

Speaker 12 (01:36:25):
Enjoy your weekend Monday, Yes, talk to you then take care.

Speaker 1 (01:36:28):
All right, there you go. Jeff Bellinger, Bloomberg News. All right,
I'm just gonna say, Ross, you should tweet. Did you
tweet this story out too? That you just texted me? Okay, yeah,
tweet that out? So Ross was referencing. I found this
because I had not heard of it. This is fascinating,
but basically how chat bought conversations are, how that works

(01:36:49):
for kids with autism. I mean frankly, as a parent,
I don't I don't care whether your kid is autistic
or not or whatever. I'm I mean trying to get
your your head around what that means for your kid.
We don't don't even know yet, because you know clearly,
clearly the you know, the autism angle is one thing,
but also, as Ross pointed out, when it comes to kids,
the questions never end. And so I mean, if you're

(01:37:12):
exhausted from work, you're on your fifty third question of
the night because you've got three kids banging around, I
mean that would be that's going to be very tempting
just to basically turn over parenting in that moment in
the same way that people get critical for screen time. Arguably,
this feels worse for a hundred reasons. So he'll tweet
that article out before you check that out and the

(01:37:35):
real quick just because I got to play this audio
Jasmine Crockett Man, it has become abundantly clear of the
Crockett AOC and Bernie Sanders are really really the engagement
face of the Democrat Party. Gavin Newsom obviously trying to
get on that with all the crazy stuff he's saying
this week, and I just want to tell you I
am here for it.

Speaker 13 (01:37:55):
I talked to black folk all the time as somebody
who's a child of a preacher. Listen, people are not
Republicans simply because we just as like y'all racist. I
can't hang out with the KKKA.

Speaker 1 (01:38:05):
And m That's really what it is.

Speaker 13 (01:38:07):
But when we think about who we are as black
people and we think about where we come from, most
black people have very conservative values, right, but the reality
is that like we just can't side with like the
neo Nazis and them. We like, we're not dealing with
y'all like that, right.

Speaker 1 (01:38:23):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, you don't want to hang out with
the Klan.

Speaker 10 (01:38:26):
Hmm.

Speaker 1 (01:38:27):
Let's see, uh Rossta, do we know who started the Klan?
Which party? Wait, let me just run through ross Aim
so I'll look at that. The Democrats.

Speaker 6 (01:38:34):
So
