Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's Friday and some some contract blah blah blah, Fiveday's week.

(00:04):
So here we are. It is a bit of a
roundup of the week that was. But we got to
talk prisoner swap deals, comments, Mike drop moments, and just
you know, the standard disingenuous everything that continues to permeate Washington.

(00:27):
But I'm gonna tell you, I'm gonna make a I'm
gonna make a concerted effort to talk about anything other
than that because I want to get into weekend mode.
And you know, maybe your weekend is a fun one.
You're gonna go do something. You're like, it's a thousand
degrees out, so at least let's go to the beach.
Great or you're gonna go hide in the mountains. Totally understandable.

(00:48):
I was talking to a couple of buddies that are
headed up into the mountains do a little golfing up there.
Those dudes had the right idea. So just just know,
for you red meat folks, we're gonna do some stuff
that ain't super red meat. But we I mean, we
got to obviously, we got to talk about the big

(01:09):
stories of the day. Okay, so that'll be yet Pete
Callander's not here because he's a quitter. No, the dude
almost never takes any time off. He's off this week.
So we told him we were sending him on a
vacation to thank him, but we actually put him on
a plane to Caracas to fix stuff. So I think

(01:31):
it'll be pleasantly surprised Ross. You've see how much he
likes to argue on Twitter. We get him down there,
probably negotiate with Duro to admit that he's a election thief.
I'm sure it'll be fine and not like what was
that horrific story you told me yesterday about the the
Ross was doing weird pole Pot research for some reason,

(01:53):
and frankly it was slightly terrifying. What was it a
British dude who decide he was going to go and
learn from Polepot. So he flew to Cambodi and it
didn't go well.

Speaker 2 (02:04):
Like Russ you know, he was like a famous Marxist
from I believe England, and he at the time he
was going to go back and show how good the
regime was. Oh say, hey, we go interview this dude.
He's going to document it, like show how great it
was in the country. There, and so he arrives and
you know he's going around the country and long story short,
Polepot shot him in the head.

Speaker 1 (02:21):
Oh no, but you know what he wanted to see
how it worked. Arguably he found out, so did he
have like somebody? So then this was documented what happened
to him. So he actually achieved what he was looking
for because you were able to research it, right, I mean,

(02:47):
mission accomplished. We'll get you the banner. You won't be
able to be there because you decided to go lion
I's pole Pot. But yeah, that didn't work out. So
I think Pete's gonna have better luck down there. And
and if Elon showed up with the space lasers for
the fight, then he can document that.

Speaker 2 (03:03):
Do I have no idea what he's doing.

Speaker 1 (03:05):
I noticed on his Twitter account he just posted weird
like soft raccoon porn. It's weird stuff. This is why
you should follow on Twitter. So it's rather interesting. So
we'll catch up with him next week. I'm sure the
world will be insane next week. Don't worry. Don't worry.
It's not going anywhere. We're not we're not near November yet.

(03:29):
I don't care how much Halloween shop and you're doing
because that's starting or pumpkin spice? Is it playing? It's
pumpkin spice. I saw in like a list of things
and I didn't click. I'm assuming that means the pumpkin
spice is back already. Oh yeah, how many of you

(03:49):
right now? Your wife was just walking by, heard what
I just said and is now in a great one
sees the opportunity. But two, I don't know the details.
So if I lied and it's not true and I
was reading something, I saw something, but it's not the
thing with the Starbucks and the thing, then I apologize
in advance. It's not your fault, but I'm not clicking

(04:12):
on it. I'm not supporting that insanity. So yeah, that's
just a basic run. I'm in a bit of a
mood today. Not a bad mood, just a mood. But
maybe that's just a Friday thing, you know what?

Speaker 2 (04:27):
What is.

Speaker 1 (04:30):
Every time I see an update on this story, I
get more and more angry, especially because you remember last
year we had a he's a retired gentleman for all
practical purposes, and he's just he's working well, it was
Low's right, was working at Low's. See he's a guy
who's trying to walk out with I don't remember what

(04:51):
it was, like, Hey, hey, you know we have this
thing over there is called a register. You should you
should swing by there. The guy's like, I'm gonna murder
you now, and he struck this gentleman and killed him.
And it was just so horrifying, and it's one of
those things where you're like, well, at least as weird

(05:12):
as it sounds. I don't want to say it's say
one off, but you know, most of the time in
these types of incidents, you don't see this. And then
this horrible story from Wednesday on Wednesday where a or
not on Wednesday on Wednesday is when they arrested this guy,
but where this dude goes to Low's and he walks

(05:37):
up to the front. I don't even know that this
guy was trying to stop him. I think you just.

Speaker 2 (05:45):
Popped him.

Speaker 1 (05:46):
This guy wanted to steal steal what drill bits. Drill
Bits said, which are not cheap. People are like, I
think people are misunderstanding what this is. You get into
the real high end, good kids. For those it's hundreds
of dollars and it's probably immensely resullable. And he decided

(06:07):
that he was gonna go equalizer on him and hit
him in the hit. This hit an older person in
the head with a sledgehammer. And and I say this
not because I'm encouraging it, but it's like, just punch
the dude. Okay, I'm looking at the guy. I'm looking
at the guy that they arrested.

Speaker 2 (06:26):
Just punched the guy.

Speaker 1 (06:29):
I mean, don't do any of it, but to hit
somebody with a sledgehammer, you can't tell me you were
just trying to daize them so you could get out
with your stuff. So now we're learning more about this
guy they arrested. Let's see here. Let's let's see what
he's been up to. What do you think ross? Probably

(06:49):
in business school doing some charitable stuff. Oh no, I'm sorry, no,
according to records, mister, uh, what's his Aaron Williams. Aaron Williams,
who is being held without bond. Please don't screw this up, Durham.
If he's the guy, let's see.

Speaker 3 (07:11):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (07:12):
Back in March, he must have skipped out on the UH.
On his NBA classes, Williams was accused of stealing a
glock from Bull City Armory. Also accused of altering the
serial number of the weapon. Oh, and he's a felon,
so you know, he's not supposed to have one, whether
he steals it or buys it or I guess owns it,

(07:35):
so not supposed to have it. And uh, yeah, he's
the busy boy.

Speaker 2 (07:41):
Let's see.

Speaker 1 (07:41):
In February, he was charged with misdemeanor assault inflicting serious
injury common law robbery. Always thought was a weird name
for a charge, but whatever, possession of stolen goods. Huh,
let's see here. He likes to speed, you know, probably
to get the class. See driving without a license.

Speaker 2 (08:03):
That's not good.

Speaker 3 (08:06):
Oh.

Speaker 1 (08:07):
In twenty twenty one, felony of fleeing to elude. That's
not just you ran a little bit like you had
to do some stuff in California. Helicopter probably be following you,
and you're live on Channel five, let's see. In twenty

(08:30):
twenty three is mother file for legal guardianship to declare
him incompetent, saying that her son suffered a TBI traumatic
brain injury during a basketball game and then he began
experiencing paranoia and unpredictable behavior. I don't know, it seems

(08:50):
like this pattern of behavior. Has been predictable. Look, I
don't know the totality of what's going on there, but
I do know that there's a lot of people that
have made a lot of claims about mental health stuff.
At least this precedes it when when we see some
of these really horrible stories and then I see like

(09:11):
courtroom footage of them interacting and speaking with the judge
and whatnot. And I'm not a psychiatrist, psychologist or whoever
would do the evaluating here, but a lot of times
you don't hear about it until something pretty horrible happens.
But to just randomly hit somebody in the head with

(09:31):
a sledgehammer, when as I'm reading this, I don't even
know that he had to. I don't know what Low's
policy is, especially among an employee who who this individual
likely could have physically overpowered with little trouble. Then it
just sounds like you're hitting people with a sledgehammer. Hit

(09:53):
him with a sledgehammer. Just horrible stuff. So, like I said,
just because we're not doing the media politics doesn't mean
it's all it's all fun stuff. It's absolutely horrific. I mean,
we got some stuff in the stack that's going to
turn your stomach today, but you know what you need
to know about it. So that's what we're gonna do also,

(10:17):
and we'll get into this here directly. I was reliably
informed about a week ago that we wouldn't be breaking
some records over at the over at the Olympics because
it was too hot or something, and like they just
keep breaking records a lot, And it happened again yesterday,

(10:40):
like actually three times. I submitted this story, and I
think there's a third one, so I don't know. I'm
beginning to think that maybe the reporting by Slate, I think,
because who did that piece, whoopsie might be wrong. So
let's do a little compare and contrast. We'll do that
next here on the Case You Day radio program. Yeah,

(11:02):
I'm not going to tell you what this is, but
you guys know what this is.

Speaker 2 (11:04):
You know what that sound is.

Speaker 1 (11:07):
Those are the shrinking eels. Oh never mind, I thought
it was just the first part and then it cut off.
Never mind, it's the whole quote from that. All right, Well,
have we got a story. And now that I think
about it, if they were the shrieking eels, it makes
the story so much more horrific, Like the whole bug
in my year story. I told you about the grossed

(11:28):
a bunch of you out, nothing compared to this. I'll
take a bug in a year all day. Ross can
update the Twitter header. I'll be like nine Time Survivor,
doesn't matter. Oh oh, kit, hold on, what is I
can't really tell what Donna wants to talk about. But
it's Friday, it's Rando, so let's do this. Yes, Donna,

(11:50):
what's up?

Speaker 4 (11:51):
Good morning, Casey? I know what story you're talking about.

Speaker 1 (11:54):
Yeah, I saw that you on the on the Twitter
saw that as well, So you know.

Speaker 4 (12:01):
It's almost as if a judge had sent him up
for any of the previous charges, he wouldn't have been
able to wouldn't have been out around in society to
slam somebody in the head with a sledgehammer.

Speaker 1 (12:14):
Look, and here's the thing. If my if like he
legitimately has some like serious mental health stuff due to
a traumatic brain industry, I'm not an injury. I'm not unsympathetic.
What the hell is he doing running around? He's like this,
he's stealing guns, shaven serial numbers, which takes a certain
amount of you know, you gotta think you're gonna do that.

Speaker 4 (12:38):
He could have have your faculties to know that you
have to scrape off the serial number unless somebody did
it for him. I think he's probably lingering the mess.

Speaker 1 (12:51):
Now and maybe mom's like and I understand, I'm like,
my mom would want custody, so she could probably haven't
forcibly committed. But like other people have to agree that
that's the thing. And I'm really curious that whole process.

Speaker 2 (13:04):
So but it's just.

Speaker 1 (13:06):
Well I understand that. But look, people, I know somebody
who was a a functioning adult and it was and
got in a car accident and he's not he's not
his age anymore, right, and okay.

Speaker 4 (13:22):
So what he had to have like a legal guardian.

Speaker 1 (13:25):
Yeah he did. He suffered a serious enough brain injury
in that car accident that essentially he functions, he functions as.

Speaker 3 (13:34):
Like a.

Speaker 2 (13:37):
Kid.

Speaker 1 (13:38):
And it's you know, but and if that's the case,
but like this sounds this doesn't sound like that because
that dude is also unfortunately in a wheelchair now, and
it's it's a whole thing.

Speaker 4 (13:48):
But yeah, well, let this guy's mother be his legal
guardian and then she can go to jail for stealing
gun when he steals guns, I mean the atf kicks
the doors in of people who don't commit crimes.

Speaker 1 (14:03):
They have the parents up in Michigan. Yeah, it's a
whole sticky thing. It's just like but it's the part
where you just don't think you're gonna have to in
two consecutive years read about somebody who's just trying to
make a few extra bucks working at Low's, probably maybe
just for the discount, because he likes to do home improvement.
I don't even know the backstory.

Speaker 2 (14:21):
And then you got.

Speaker 1 (14:21):
To read about your story. All right, all right, thank
you're not spelling the eel story. Nobody's gonna have a
good day after they hear that story.

Speaker 4 (14:30):
Nobody's gonna have a good weekend, have a good weekend.

Speaker 1 (14:32):
No, that story's gonna thank you, Donna. That story's gonna
ruin everyone's weekend. But you know what, it's news. You
need to know.

Speaker 2 (14:41):
That.

Speaker 1 (14:41):
And the Marxist from the UK, it's like, I'm gonna
go hang out with Paul Pott. Right, These are all
a little factoids you get to squirrel away in your brain.
Although the eels you squirrel them away somewhere else, as
you will come to learn. All right, going back to
July twenty so, one week ago Slate Science. Excuse me,

(15:07):
they have you know, everything tab is on the science
tab and the sports tab. Understandably, Olympic records are getting
harder to break for a scary reason.

Speaker 2 (15:17):
All right, what's that?

Speaker 1 (15:19):
Rising temperatures may be the only records getting broke this year.
I can't believe this thing is still published. Did they
added it? Did they at least add anything? I don't
know if you know what's going on. So they're breaking
a butt ton of records at the Olympics. I mean,
obviously that is where most you know, most of the

(15:43):
records do get broken. The Olympics and then the World
blah blah blah whatever. The the the big events are
for like gymnastics and the World Track and Field. But
you know, it's really that's where you see this happen
because there's just so much of the common petition going on.
That being said, Slay wrote this whole article about how

(16:05):
here we go. I'll just read you. I'm gonna read
you just a little bit of it. You can punish
yourself if you want, on your own time. The Olympics
are here, and like any sports fan, I get swept
up in the thrill of an athlete attempting to set
a new world record. Perhaps there's no better platform than
the height of the Olympic Games, where the motto faster, Higher,

(16:29):
Stronger is about surpassing old limits. Isn't that also the
six million dollar man whatever in the era? But in
the era of climate change, we should add one more
sobering adjective to the motto warmer. It's more realistic than aspirational,
to be sure, but still record setting, all right. And

(16:50):
then they go through a bunch of this.

Speaker 2 (16:52):
Again.

Speaker 1 (16:52):
I'm not gonna punish you with this, but the line
in the article is just like rocks are gonna fly
out of the sea and hit you, which I'm not
making that up. That was That's still one of my favorite. Hey,
this thing's going to happen. Right, We've had many of
these articles. Hey guys, your sports car is not going
to work climate change? Uh this pumpkin spice latte? You

(17:16):
like that? Well, one, you're crazy. Two climate change it's
going to ruin it or something. And and we just
put them on the list. Let's go ahead and see.
Well yeah, I don't know if you know, but they
have been breaking records. This Olympics, and in fact, I
want to say, and I don't know if it still
holds true, it probably does because they I think they

(17:37):
broke three yesterday. They've been really good at it this year,
really good at it. In fact, I want to say
that during the first few days they were at a
higher pace than any modern Olympics. So whoops, that didn't
pan out. Yeah, they haven't even haven't even changed anything

(18:00):
or added an editor's note on this. Hey, this thing
we said, that's not only is it not coming true,
it's obscenely not coming true. It didn't really make sense
when I read the article initially, Broz, Did you read
this thing when I said it? Because we had in
the stack like a week ago and I never got
to it. But yeah, and you're were you convinced of

(18:22):
the science of or no, not so much, dude. They're
they're cracking records, the shooting sports, the Korean chick man
and by the way, she's not even the one everyone's
talking about. Although I don't know, do you think we
should talk about the Turkey guy. I don't want to
be on that dude's radar.

Speaker 2 (18:42):
Do The Turkey Guy's amazing. He looks like Tom cruise
in Collateral, So, yes, do you like that movie? Still
on them? You do? You know what? I here's what
I didn't like about that movie. I didn't like.

Speaker 1 (18:55):
I like Jamie Fox. I thought I thought he made
his character too much of a woos But he kind
of had to be that because he's got a build
to do what he's got to do. Anyway, I don't know,
that's not why we're here. So the so modern shooting

(19:16):
is amazing. In fact, I they're one of the email shooters.
A few Olympics ago when I was broadcasting in Minnesota,
was from like Hibbing, Minnesota or something like that, and
she showed up at a was there Ducks Unlimited thing
that I was at, and she had all her gear

(19:36):
and like it's crazy when they're all geared up like
they have like con they have weights that they you know,
they have weighted clothes, right, and then they have this
optic stuff that looks like they're, you know, a seal
team ready to do a breach, and and they wear
all this stuff and I'm sure it helps. I clearly

(19:58):
don't understand all of it. And they're better shots than
me and probably you all right, I know, you know
I'm pretty it's crazy, right, and respect and they got
all this stuff. This dude from Turkey rolls out like
he's he's your uncle, showed up at the range and
you didn't know he was coming, and then he proceeds

(20:19):
to like kick everyone's butt. He's clearly a hit Man, right,
He's clearly a hit Ye.

Speaker 2 (20:25):
Yeah, yes, why I made the collateral reference. I mean
he looks just like that. Now he's become like a
meme because everybody else, like he said, has their headphones
on and their their eyewear and he's kevlar, Vesta or
whatever they are.

Speaker 1 (20:36):
And so your body stays in position.

Speaker 2 (20:39):
He shows up in like jeans or sweatpants, a T
shirt and no no glass or nothing, and he's holding
his gun out. Dude, it looks like like Agent forty
seven with his silver ballers just winning silver. It's amazing.
And now they're putting him on it sound like a mame.
Like they put him on like the hit Man game cover.
They put him on the game for a metal gear
solid but it's is no gear and it's just a

(21:01):
guy's photo. Is amazing and apparently he just picked it
up as a hobby. Apparently, Oh, yeah, that dad, or
he's a hit man, and they're like, hey, we need
to send somebody. Yeah, a hobby, a hobby, did you know?
You know what?

Speaker 1 (21:16):
You know, his rates just went up, right because now
if you want to have somebody murdered, now you got
to there's a celebrity tax to it too.

Speaker 2 (21:24):
Right. The next the Olympic event is going to be
killing the president of Paraguay with a fork, and they're
still gonna send the same guy out.

Speaker 1 (21:32):
Dude, if that guy ever gets arrested, we'll trade journalists
for him.

Speaker 2 (21:35):
Right.

Speaker 1 (21:36):
So I'm sorry, I still can't get over the list.

Speaker 2 (21:40):
Yeah, the journalist for a silver metal winner? Sure, why not? Yeah?

Speaker 1 (21:44):
Oh I just like that dude. Man, because when you
see if you watch this, if you watch the shooting stuff,
the amount of stuff that they wear is pretty crazy.
And I've never I have never been at a shooting range,
with the exception of that one event I just told
you about, which was at it was out this big

(22:05):
outdoor range called the Horse and Hunt Club, which is
a big shooting installation south of Minneapolis, and I've had
the It's a really nice facility because they have trapid
skied obviously, they have some equestrian stuff there. They have
a shoot house. They have you can get birds, right,

(22:29):
good acres upon acres for that. So if you want
to get some chuckers, some pheasants or whatever.

Speaker 2 (22:34):
You can go.

Speaker 1 (22:35):
You can go, you know, hunt and and I remember this,
this woman showed I forgive me, I don't remember her name.
And then there were a few others and watching them
walk out look like look like Tony Stark about like
early Tony start was crazy, man. But they're explaining all

(22:55):
this stuff, and like, you get it right, because if
you shoot, you know the things that you're trying to
protect yourself from doing so that you can be better
shooting right. You want to have your body in the
right position. You want to you know, you want to
make sure the gun's obviously in the right position. And
she was shooting. She's shooting twenty two's right, but and

(23:16):
she's shooting from prone position, so she has a certain
gear for that. This dude's standing with a pistol, just
with a jean jacket or something like. It's just so
random and.

Speaker 2 (23:29):
That's how it should be done, right. I think that's
how that show is. Like I don't know, like if
you'd have to shoot in the real world, right, you
wouldn't have all your gear on. I had to say
an issue too when I did taekwondo as a kid,
right where you would do these tournaments and the adults
as well, not just the children, where you would have
these tournaments and like you had like the very thick
head gear and the gloves and the thick footwear. And

(23:50):
it's like you're walking around like the Michelin man or whatever,
like you're just needed. It's not and it's not like
real life if you actually need to use it, you
know what I mean.

Speaker 1 (23:58):
Well, here's here's the only thing I was say about,
especially the eyewear thing. Some people require corrective lenses to shoot,
and obviously you should always you should always you know,
eyes and ears if you're if you're gonna go shoot.

Speaker 2 (24:11):
This guy always. Yeah, they call him Bubba Yuga. It's
the Boogeyman. It's terrifying. I remember to kill the Boogeyman.

Speaker 1 (24:21):
Remember breaking down all the the work ethic and the
European Union and like Turkey had the most. It's because
they're all killing people. It's like they're all hitmen, right,
Is that probably?

Speaker 2 (24:31):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (24:31):
They just they obviously were the big diversion. And you know,
if you're a proper Hitman, the hits, I mean, that's
just one thing. It's the you got to put in
the time, that's what's that's what's kind of so crazy.
One of the video games that Ross and I both
played that I actually I kind of enjoyed was hit
Man because of the creative part of it.

Speaker 2 (24:52):
Right, you get like, oh, there's so many different ways
to do a level. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (24:56):
Yeah, And obviously that's not real life, but like you know,
on real life or not real life. But when you
see like a hip man portrayed in a in a movie, right,
like ninety percent of what they're doing is set the whole.

Speaker 2 (25:09):
Thing up, right, And the same thing with those games,
where a lot of it is having to adapt to
what happens in the game because things don't go as planned. Right.
Remember that movie? Gross, point blank love that movie.

Speaker 1 (25:20):
Oh it's one of my favorite movie. And you know
what's what irritates me is it never streams anywhere.

Speaker 2 (25:25):
It doesn't. I saw that movie. I worked at the
movie theater. I saw that movie in the theater because
at the time I could watch movies for free, probably
like seven or eight times. I know where you're going
with this while you were talking adapting, because in the
beginning of that movie, he's trying to kill a dude
and everything goes, you know, the way it's not supposed
to go, and he adapts and ends up killing the guy.
But it just shows like, not everything he's gonna go
as planned, you know what I mean. Spoiler. It'd be

(25:46):
great if, like, you know, there's your target and suddenly
it's just gonna start moving all crazy.

Speaker 1 (25:51):
And this is selfish. I also like that movie because
if you see the scenes where she's broadcasting, she's actually
turning the mic on and stuff right, which is a
stupid thing, but it's the thing that bothers me.

Speaker 2 (26:03):
And then they have their headphones on.

Speaker 1 (26:04):
And if I ever, if we ever have a chance
to interview Joe Rogan, I'm gonna I know that wasn't
his gig, but that's you ever watch news radio the
amount of times that Phil Hartman when clearly the light
is not on, who are you talking to?

Speaker 2 (26:18):
Yeah? That as well as the Fraser Show when he
would do his show.

Speaker 1 (26:24):
We need studios like that man just saying, but we
don't work in public radio. So you should see some
of their studios. Pretty crazy, all right, so we all
we all agree the Turkish dude is clearly a hit man.
Do you think they just called him? They're like, hey,
you killing anyone this way? No, you might flying to Paris.
We got a job put No, no, you don't have

(26:45):
to murder anybody. Just these targets is all right, whatever,
you know my rate, pay me my bitcoin or whatever,
and we'll do this thing. So yeah, but they're they're
just banging records. What do we have yesterday? Let's see,
we had two swimming records, another shooting record. I'm trying
to see here, well too, swimming. I can't remember what

(27:06):
the third one, but you get my point. We were
told that Boston Paul, we did the boneless Wings Supreme
Court story on Monday. Try and keep up, bro. He
probably wasn't up yet anyway. Yeah, so two swimming records
and one other one. So the Slate article, you don't

(27:27):
know what you're talking about. Oh wait, hold on, that's
a good point. Yes, one of our inlid points out
there will probably, yes, they will probably write an article
say that they're breaking more records because of climate change.
That is how it works. So if if you want
to break a record, didn't somebody do a movie? It
wasn't about breaking a record? What was it? No, it

(27:51):
was it was like they were trying to figure out
the easiest Guinness World record to break and then they
went out to try to do one, and then I
think they ended up breaking like several. Oh what was it?
I don't know if it was a movie or if
it was a YouTube series. It was pretty wild. And
I've also seen one where where they wanted to they

(28:11):
just wanted to medal and they were trying to figure
out which where they could go in and get a medal.
And that was that was based on a news story
of that dude who did like a twenty three in
me and figured out like he had some ancestry from
some country that most people couldn't find on a map
and was able to be an Olympic athlete.

Speaker 2 (28:33):
You'd be you'd be blown away.

Speaker 1 (28:34):
A number of people that are Olympic athletes for countries
that they've literally never lived in because family heritage, which
is the thing you can do. So ross, do you
want to be an Olympian? You just did it twenty
three and me, I'm sure there's something on there where
they'd be like, yeah, sure.

Speaker 2 (28:50):
Whatever thing I told you I would. I would be
an Olympian if they had like pace car participants, right.
I mentioned this before where every time you watch like
these guys in the pool, they're all flying in the
pool and you don't really have a reference of a
way of understanding how fast they're going, Like if you
watch like all the cars going around the track at NASCAR,
like they crazy I had, but when you're watching a

(29:12):
TV though, like they're all going to the same speed
and you can't really tell how fast they're going. So
my job would to get in the pool as a
regular person, and then you could see me as the
regular person swimming in the pool and everybody else flying
past me, and you'd be like, oh my god, those
guys are so fast.

Speaker 1 (29:26):
Yeah that's what That's what that skier was, And I
can't remember what the country was was. Not like I'm
a better skier and I haven't skiing in a long
time actually, but when I was, when I was doing
a lot of scan, I'm not a great skier, but
I could run black diamonds and not fall down. But
like dude was falling down and like that was the

(29:47):
whole thing. It was just like, ah, what country? Actually,
I shouldn't say, dude. I think it was a woman, right,
But when you consistently see them falling down, you realize
how talented the other people. Yes, so you just want
to be that guy you want to be. You can
pull it off Guidestone for the but you got to
pick in a that's a lot of swimming's a lot
of work, bro, that'd be great.

Speaker 2 (30:07):
They should have like an average joe sort of entry
into every competition.

Speaker 1 (30:12):
But they do. It's just from like they're from like
Paraguay or something. I mean, they already exist. There's always
there's always like they don't feature it a lot. But
you know, some of these events, it's pretty if you
watch them and they're like, here's the here's the skier
from Oh what was the wildest thing that ever? Was

(30:36):
it a there was a skier from Brazil or something. No,
it wasn't bil I can't remember where it was. You
know it was from Central I was from like Guatemala
or something. And the dude lives in like Aspen and
it was at the Winter Olympics. I'm like, Guatemala has
his skier and then I'm like, oh, not really. It
was like the Jamaican Bob Slid team. Yeah, yeah, I

(30:57):
know that's the that's the big thing. But I don't know, man,
you see that sometimes I'm like, oh, oh, they're not
gonna medal. Probably not gonna medal anyway. All right, six
fifty one, speaking of hit Man, what are we doing?
What are we doing?

Speaker 2 (31:12):
Also?

Speaker 1 (31:13):
Should Trump have a time machine? We'll debate that coming up.
Hang on, I to have you along. We got into
a little sports record breaking slash hit Man discussion, cause
you know, that's how we roll here on our Friday.
We will not have Pete Callander joining us because he
is he's on vacation this week, so he'll return next week.

(31:36):
Just letting you know what's coming up. But don't worry,
We've got plenty of stuff to fill it in with.

Speaker 2 (31:40):
All right.

Speaker 1 (31:40):
So I was we were talking about the Olympics all
this stuff, and I was trying to remember Ross wants
a Ross once and I think it's a I think
it's a great idea. And you have to know too,
that the Olympics can kind of create a team out
of nothing. There is a there is an Olympic team
that he is refugees. Right, So if you're I don't

(32:03):
know exactly what qualifies you or where you have to
be from and then living now or how that works.
But there is an entire Olympic team of people who
are considered refugees under whatever that standard is. So ross
wanting an everyman thing, if only to make everyone else
look better, I think it's an amazing idea. Now, how

(32:27):
do you keep it from filling up though, with people
who were like one out from the main team, which
wouldn't provide the contrast that you're suggesting. That's I think
that's the challenge there, right, because it's you know, it's everybody.

Speaker 2 (32:41):
We could just do it via draft per country, and
it's like, if you're you're between the ages of forty
to fifty, okay, and get a draft notice and you're
any Olympics here just.

Speaker 1 (32:52):
One day they're like, hey, you're a high diver, yes,
and you just get the letter in the mail like
jury duty and you better show up, right, Okay, all right,
that's it.

Speaker 2 (33:03):
That's what I was right, I did this.

Speaker 1 (33:05):
I love that one of our listeners and by the way,
I'm sorry your wife was mortified, sir, but you know what,
you don't tell her she's married to a triathlete. But
most women can't say that. Does she tell her friends
at book club or whatever? I don't know where to
do a triathlete and Ross, you asked if he finished?
He says he finished. He doesn't say he finished that day.

Speaker 2 (33:25):
But hey, it doesn't matter if it was that day
or not. I mean he finished.

Speaker 1 (33:28):
I mean that's done. This is it in the rules,
you have to finish that day.

Speaker 2 (33:32):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (33:33):
I think they would like you too. It's the same
with every man this sway. Can you imagine you get drafted? Ross,
You just got drafted for the fifteen hundred men's butterfly, right.

Speaker 2 (33:44):
I'm in it to win it.

Speaker 1 (33:45):
You're in it to win it. But when you finally
touch the wall on the on the final of the
final length, you look up, everybody's already got their bags
packed like feet looking at you.

Speaker 2 (33:55):
If I completed and did not drown a national television
that's a huge accomplishment.

Speaker 1 (33:59):
Would your wife be in barrissed a proud Oh proud? Yes,
She's like, I'm merried doing Olympian Maybe next year I'll
get drafted and have to do my thing where with
a badge of honor. Dude, you get to eat the meals,
you get sleep on the cardboard beds. You probably don't
want to get drafted for the swimming because you might
get sick, which I'm told is not the fault of

(34:19):
the river that's filled with poop, even though you spent
literally like a gazillion dollar, like a billion and a
half dollars to clean your river up, and people got sick,
and then you pretended like they got sick from the food,
which I thought was weird. But okay, just the swimmers
that did the thing, they the only ones that they
had the bad food in the chowel hall where everyone's

(34:41):
eating the same thing. Okay, absolutely, and it's not your
poopy river, gotcha. Uh So, congrats to you, sir, and
again tell your why, hey, tryathlete, you married a triathlete, please,
you should be bragging all over town.

Speaker 2 (34:58):
All right.

Speaker 1 (34:59):
Let me get to this though, because this is one
of my favorite Olympics stories, and it was a woman.
Her name was Elizabeth Swaeney, American America, woo, all right,
and she wanted to compete in the Winter Olympics. And
she obviously wasn't going to make the team, but uh,
she got a little Hungarian background, and the Hungarian team

(35:21):
apparently didn't have somebody to do the and this is
what made it so great. So she was competing in
the halfpipe. So this is the trick skiing, right. And
by the way, when I skied, I used to ski
Solomon Excreames one sixty eight. I can't remember what they're

(35:42):
just blow one seventies, but it's a shorter ski. It's
got a wider thing on it. Because I used to
like to and I was not good at it, but
I was young enough that I could wreck in the
most horrific fashion and generally not break anything. And I
would try to hit jumps and I'm talking and I
would go into the into the halfpipe and and I

(36:06):
don't know that I landed very much, but I thought
it was really cool. All the snowboarders hated me, don't
care whatever, and that's great. She was not as good
as me. I'm serious, I am serious, because I could
actually get a little air there man and not come.

(36:27):
I'm sure it didn't look graceful, but I stayed up.
So she's like, well, I'm not that good, but I'd
love to be an Olympian. She was thirty three at
the time. It was pyeong Chang. So this is South Korea,
what like two Winter Olympics ago, yeah, twenty eighteen. So

(36:47):
she shows up. She I cause again, if you've got
some heritage there that a lot of people will then
go play for other cause why when the Olympic hockey
rolls around, you know, Canada, Russia like all, you know,
the Ovechkins of the world and everybody, they go play
for where they're from. But in this case, I don't

(37:09):
even know she'd been to Hungry before, but whatever, So
she's there. The halfpipe person she attempted zero tricks. The
videos wild because you see her. Everybody like the person
in front of her. You've got the big air competitions
going on. People are coming in, they're pulling you know, uh,

(37:31):
you know, they're uh six six eight or six eighties
or whatever. I don't even know what it is. This
is don't care, and that it's her turn, and she does.
She's trying to like bunny hop on her skis.

Speaker 2 (37:47):
It's doesn't hit.

Speaker 1 (37:49):
She did hit one ramp I think got a little
bit of air and almost ate it and then in
one of the this was in the qualifiers. She obviously
didn't even make it to the main event, but she
finished thirteenth out of fifteen, and it was only because
she didn't finish dead last because there were people had
to withdraw, so don't let her tell you she beat anybody.

(38:14):
But she didn't care, man. I remember they were like
interviewing her. She's like, I'm an Olympian, shut your face whole.
This is gonna be great. And then she just a
little hoppy hoppy. She kind of go up the side
of the half pipe. Oh, they know it's a little high,
get one ski off and then drop and then she
does this little hop thing and that's how she did.
And even she didn't even bother to attempt a trick,

(38:38):
and then she did fall down after not doing a trick.
Absolutely amazing. As you can imagine, she did not advance,
so let's see, and then the judges were all but
hurt and they literally talked about changing glorying, well, why

(39:01):
she didn't she didn't advance. The only reason she was
even in the qualifiers because Hungary put her up there
and you had to at least let her do a run.
And then she made it okay because she made the
qualifier that she made it into the main Games. Because
you had so many people withdraw well that's on you,
just so dumb now to be able to do it.

(39:21):
She did have to get some sort of World Cup
circuit points to be eligible to represent one of the countries.
But you can you get points. It's like you ever
have a teacher to give you points for putting your
name on top of something. She just did a whole
bunch of things. She wrote her name enough times that
she met the points requirement. Obviously she had a lot

(39:43):
of money to burn.

Speaker 2 (39:44):
It looks like.

Speaker 1 (39:47):
She's she would do it okay, But hey, good for her.
I mean, granted, you sold your country out to go
represent Hungary, but you were no real threat. All right, yeah,
here we go, yeah steel Spence. What do they have
such weird names over at the Olympic Committee? What is

(40:08):
the what's the IOC chairman's name? I feel dirty every
time I say it on the on the air or spokesman.
We only heard we only heard so much about the
dude because of all the crap Russia was pulling. No,
that's not the guy. Who is the other dude? Get
a very offensive name. I'll find it. I'll find it

(40:34):
during the break. I'm trying to do two things at once.
But are you gonna tell the eel story? I'm gonna
tell the eel story. I didn't say when I was
gonna tell.

Speaker 2 (40:42):
You want to? You want me to tell the old story?

Speaker 3 (40:43):
Now?

Speaker 1 (40:44):
Okay? Email her, I'll find I'll tell the eel story. Ross,
you got the drop ready?

Speaker 3 (40:51):
All right?

Speaker 1 (40:51):
Ross has the drop ready? And get over the eel story?

Speaker 2 (40:56):
Man?

Speaker 1 (40:56):
What is I was Friday? Chill out, people, relax? What
are you gonna do? Go outside and burst into flames?
That sounds fun? Huh? Ross? You got outdoor stuff planned
over the weekend? Or are you gonna stay where the
ac is like a normal you.

Speaker 2 (41:13):
Know we're still doing like tons of stuff around the house,
but inside the house right inside. Yeah? Yes, So the
weekend is gonna be like non existent.

Speaker 1 (41:20):
Yeah, I should have brought it up. I do that
for Ross's weekend is jacked. But hey, you know what,
when it's all said and done, it'll be all said
and done, right, So that's good?

Speaker 2 (41:33):
All right?

Speaker 1 (41:35):
The old story will do the old story. This is horrible.
It's from New York Post.

Speaker 2 (41:47):
Live.

Speaker 1 (41:47):
Two foot eel choose through man's intestines after he put
it in his prison wallet. Oh wait, I'm sorry, this
story deserves garavitas. Live two foot eel choose through man's

(42:12):
intestines after he put it in his prison wallet. What
did you think was going to happen? Well? I think
I think I know what you think was going to happen.
Why why doctors removed a live two foot eel? Was
it one of the electric It wasn't an electric. Well,

(42:34):
look if you're in it, If you're in it that far, sir,
you gotta go electric. Am I wrong? I don't know
if you know this? The thing that people use to
get horses and some and bulls sometimes to uh provide
samples so that you can use them for ai. That's
got a little little zappi.

Speaker 2 (42:55):
Zip to it.

Speaker 1 (42:56):
That's born you wanted to know. But that's the thing.
Or you can put your whole arm and they're the
big gloves that go all the way up and they
actually hook over your head and then you can manually
do that. Yeah, ranch, it's fun. The thirty one year
old was admitted on July twenty seventh with excruciating abdominal pain.
Do you think he did the thing where helied and

(43:18):
said he was on the ladder in the garage and
fell on the light bulb. Only in this case it
was an eel, because that was way too common. Ross
and I both know a doctor who is a what
is her actual what kind of doctor is she? Technically?
I guess gastrooneurologists, right and bolly crap the stories anyway?

(43:41):
Doctors learned about the No, it looks like he fessed up.

Speaker 2 (43:46):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (43:46):
I think the thing here is you got to be
straight with your doctor. You can't just be like I
was swimming and all of a sudden this thing had
was I entered a triathlon?

Speaker 2 (43:57):
Right?

Speaker 1 (43:58):
My wife was mortified and how she was right?

Speaker 2 (44:00):
I was swimming in.

Speaker 1 (44:03):
Yeah, yeah, I was an Olympia and all of a sudden,
this eel's like, hey, that looks like a good place
to hide now now he uh he said, hey, I
put it in my butt and uh see, according to
the doctor, the eel had bitten through the patients everything.
I'm not reading all this. Oh, once we realized what

(44:25):
what it hapened? What do you mean once you realize
what's happened?

Speaker 2 (44:28):
Dude?

Speaker 1 (44:28):
Do we have is there an x ray. There's an
X ray. Oh my gosh, there's a picture in this
story of it post remove.

Speaker 3 (44:36):
No.

Speaker 1 (44:38):
Oh, I hadn't scrolled on this version of the story yet.
I saw the reader version.

Speaker 2 (44:42):
Damn it.

Speaker 1 (44:46):
It's it's doesn't look happy, but eels like the hiding
places you think it.

Speaker 2 (44:52):
Would be happy.

Speaker 1 (44:54):
Patient was examined, he's got food, happens to be the guy,
he's got the ultim revenge. Yeah, so there it is
eel skeleton line inside the abdominal cavity. Doctors attempted to
remove it via the entry where he put it. Oh, ross,

(45:20):
do you know why they weren't able to pull it
out of where they put it? Have you read that?
You haven't read this yet.

Speaker 2 (45:27):
Have you? I know I haven't read it. I was
very busy, been.

Speaker 1 (45:30):
Super Yeah, you just seemed a little busier when this story.

Speaker 2 (45:34):
So many other articles I was reading, I had to
skip over the eel up the butt story.

Speaker 1 (45:39):
So oh well, yeah, Unfortunately they couldn't pull it there
because they they had also jammed a lime up there.

Speaker 2 (45:51):
Just a natural progression of things.

Speaker 1 (45:52):
I guess when the eels in your butt and it
chews through your gut, that's some morey that is the
best comment I've ever seen. Good for you, sir. I'm
on the Twitter thing too. I can't sing or I
would sing that to you like Lady in the tramp
when the eels in your butt and it chews through
your gut. That's a moory See that's a pun too.
It's a dad joke. And an eel in a in

(46:15):
a lime you could almost do a You could do
a No, I'm good, I'm just way too deep into
Oh no, that's even worse.

Speaker 2 (46:26):
Ah.

Speaker 1 (46:28):
The eel which went more than twenty five inches long
and four inches in diameter. Why the why the line?

Speaker 2 (46:37):
There's a picture of the eel in the lime? Do
eels e limes? You know?

Speaker 1 (46:44):
The the greatest thing is about to happen in thirty seconds.
I'm gonna be forced, due to a hard break, to
not do this anymore. But I just I have so many,
so many questions, like where'd you get the eel? Why
the lime?

Speaker 2 (46:58):
Did you go?

Speaker 1 (46:59):
Did you go on Google? And you're like, what do
eels eat? And they're like eat limes? Because some guy
read it drunkenly put it there, and you're like, oh,
I got a line, let's try I don't think that's true, sir. Anyway,
don't do that.

Speaker 2 (47:13):
Don't do it. Speaking of don't do that, we got.

Speaker 1 (47:15):
To talk about the hostage swap. We'll do that coming
up Kcoday Radio program. Hang on, yeah to our emailer
who did it and mortified his wife. I would hang
that right, maybe on the ceiling in your bedroom or
something right so that you can always see it if
you got one. I don't know if you got one me,

(47:35):
I would have that thing. I would have the most
ornate like Victorian era frame, and that thing would be
straight up in the living room. Ross, you could put
it next to your weird cat data poster. Ross did
a triathlon. Yeah, you want people to that's a conversation piece.
That's amazing, all right. See. I love Fridays because we

(47:56):
can go down these roads and my squirrel brain is
rewarded with fun stories. Oh wait, hold on, now, somebody's
mad that we're I'm not blaming the eel. We're disparaging eels.
Your eelwood, your your eel. Gandhy wouldn't do that. The

(48:19):
gandhy of eels wouldn't chew through a man's guy. I
understand what eel's like. I could get out of here.
You know what, the dude's lucky. Dude's lucky. It wasn't
a wolf field. You ever seen one of those? I
had not seen one of those. And then I saw
a picture of a fish like one of those fishermen
like from the Alaska show Hold, one of these bad boys,
and it's all coil around his arm. The thing is

(48:40):
clearly is as long as he is tall, and as
big a round almost as his neck, and the face
of the head on it's huge, and it has teeth
like crazy teeth. I sent Ross a picture of this thing,
although we didn't use our drop. I sent Ross a
picture of this thing. You want one of those for

(49:01):
the home tank? You want one of You want one
of those wolf eels? Uh? For for the boy? A
nice new eel pet? Hell No, I don't want. If
I was in the thing going to look for the
Titanic or whatever and those were swarming around outside, I'd
be like, yeah, could you missed me?

Speaker 2 (49:19):
Now?

Speaker 1 (49:19):
I don't want to ever come in contact with that thing.
It's it's horrific. It's one of the it's one of
the so I it doesn't appear that that was the
one he put in there or this one. Now what
that sound is, highness, those are the shrinking eels?

Speaker 2 (49:38):
How crazy?

Speaker 1 (49:39):
How much crazier would that emergency room have been if
it was a shrieking eel, because you got to do
with the battery of tests to really you do the
X ray and it's I and he even told you that. Yeah,
I put an eel and a line in there. I mean,
can I've reread the story. I can't figure out the line.
What was what we were going for there, like bait

(50:02):
it with food that it clearly doesn't eat. But yeah, yeah,
you got to go through that the whole time. The
dude's abdomen is shrieking and he's screaming. That's like that.
It's the scene in Alien almost And for our emailers, like,

(50:22):
go tell the Eels store. You said you're gonna tell
you happy I did it. Now it appear as you
were not. And I'm sorry about your il.

Speaker 2 (50:31):
Gandhi.

Speaker 1 (50:32):
I'm sure Gandhi wouldn't do that. Probably reads to children,
would never invade that unknowingly. Oh wait here at Rosser
got an update. Dude, all right, all right, so what
do you think? What do you think? Triathletes? We're gonna
call him try athlete, our listener triathlete. What do you
think his h what do you think his time was?

Speaker 2 (50:52):
This is great? I mean what is the average time
for for like.

Speaker 1 (50:56):
Google what the average triathlon? Yeah, rich triathlon time for
men is, so we have something to compare this against.
He said he got a medal and a hat and
a picture, So yeah, wear the metal to bed. It's anyway.

Speaker 2 (51:14):
What a respectable triathlon time is about two hours forty
five minutes to three hours ten minutes.

Speaker 1 (51:21):
Okay, I would estimate it about three hours. So what
do you think dude's time was?

Speaker 2 (51:24):
Five hours? Seven hours?

Speaker 1 (51:27):
Seven hours?

Speaker 2 (51:28):
Yeah? That any bad? Yeah? I don't know. It's amazing
you think.

Speaker 1 (51:32):
You could do a triathlon on seven hours. No, you're
prett years fit as I've ever seen you.

Speaker 2 (51:36):
So yeah, but I can't really swim that good. I'm
a really bad swimmer. So would I would die?

Speaker 3 (51:40):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (51:41):
What if I told you there was a wolf field
chasing you?

Speaker 2 (51:43):
I might be able to make it.

Speaker 1 (51:44):
Michael Phelps Ross's Michael Phelps. Yeah, you don't want to.
That is horrible. You said that you fight that in
dark souls.

Speaker 2 (51:52):
I believe it looks like a dark souls. Boss.

Speaker 1 (51:53):
Yeah, I don't know. We can just tweet that picture.
I'll find the article and I'll tweet it the picture
ahead in it. I don't get a licensing thing, but yeah,
that thing will haunt your dreams even more so than.

Speaker 3 (52:09):
So.

Speaker 1 (52:09):
They did like a weird There was a weird Kamala
Harris video where she's an oopa and they did like
but they made her face look like it. That haunts
my dreams currently. That and Wolf feels all right.

Speaker 2 (52:21):
So seven hours.

Speaker 1 (52:22):
Sure, obviously you're in decent shape because you didn't die.
You got a medal, a hat, and a picture. I
would always wear the hat in the medal everywhere everywhere
I'm talking, even if you're going to like a black
tie dinner boom metal. You know why because speaking are like,

(52:42):
what are you wearing a metal? You an Olympian triathlete? Oh,
very impressive. I would be impressed. Good for you.

Speaker 2 (52:51):
All right, So.

Speaker 1 (52:52):
Coming up on the show, we don't got Pete Calender.
So here's what we're gonna do. We want to get
I want to have somebody else full time so I
don't have to do stuff, because that's how it works
around here. So Ross has reached out, We're gonna get
Mark Walker on former congressman I was candidate, but it's

(53:14):
gonna be I want to talk to him because you know,
there's a There was a lot of discussion and Mark
Robinson kind of alluded to this on on our w
during our Wednesday interview, and that is, you know, there
were a lot of people were looking at that Trump thing,
and then especially when you see the video of like
the minute in the seconds before the shot, like head

(53:35):
turn and body repositioning to point up at that graph,
and you see all of that in like some models
have been built out how at any other moment leading
up to that, And we'll never know probably after that,
but again we don't know because obviously he reacted like

(53:57):
this is a different thing altogether. See is getting their
money shot, you know what I'm saying. Wild And CNN
was carrying that whole thing anyway, So.

Speaker 2 (54:14):
Divine intervention, right, I was sinking And then we didn't
You and I didn't talk about this, but you know
yesterday that Pete wasn't gonna be on him, like, well,
maybe we can get Mark on. Yeah, And I thought that,
And the reason I had that thought is for the
same idea is, yeah, when I saw, you know, during
the Trump but you know, the attempt assassination on him,
one of my first thoughts was, I wonder what Mark
Walker would have to say about this, right.

Speaker 1 (54:33):
Because if you don't know, Mark became in his current capacity,
and this is what I wanted to tell people. Obviously
he is a pastor by trade, but he is he
is part of the campaign, but he is doing religious outreach.

Speaker 2 (54:45):
Stuff right right, and what we witnessed was a miracle.
So I would love to hear Mark's opinion on it.

Speaker 1 (54:50):
Yeah, so we're gonna have he's confirmed at eight o five.

Speaker 2 (54:53):
Yeah, eight o six, Yeah, eight o six. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (54:56):
I like to lie to the audience to give him
a hope that we're actually coming back in eight oh five.
It'll be a deal with it. So uh yeah, we'll
chat with him, uh coming up at eight o six, Uh,
and we'll talk about that. And I'm also curious what
else is uh, what else.

Speaker 2 (55:13):
Is going on?

Speaker 1 (55:14):
We'll find out if Trump is brat, which is that
that whole Kamala is brad thing?

Speaker 2 (55:19):
I just what is that? I know, I'm not gonna
if I refuse, I'm not going to google it. I'm
so tired of it. Google crap, No, not.

Speaker 1 (55:29):
Gonna do it, not gonna do it, not gonna do it.
Bring at Phil Heart? Was that Phil Hartman? When you
do it? It was that his impression, not gonna do it.
It's car data, Carvey, that's right, so good, so good. Yeah,
but no, we're not. We're not gonna do that. I

(55:50):
refuse to embrace the brat thing. I think I know
enough to where I don't want to know anymore. I
know what you're saying. You're like, Casey, that's your job,
so you can tell it. You don't want to know,
you don't want to know, You'll think.

Speaker 2 (56:02):
The last zoomor thing that I really googled when it
comes to slang was the cap no cap thing. And
that's I'm done. I'm done. I'm at the age where
I'm not doing anymore. If I if it sounds like nonsense,
it's not. I don't care. I'm old, cranky man, and
I don't care.

Speaker 1 (56:15):
You're trying to do your thing early. You can't do that,
you can't. I've always been dream is, yes, I've always
been an old soul.

Speaker 2 (56:24):
My mom said so living that.

Speaker 1 (56:30):
Ross just wants to be old. Enough to steal and
flip children off. That's yeah, that's a dream. All right,
it's seven forty four. What are we doing the thing?
But not the thing?

Speaker 2 (56:42):
Right?

Speaker 1 (56:43):
Okay, no, the thing. Oh, we're doing the thing. All right,
let's do the thing with the change things change, thank
you change.

Speaker 3 (56:51):
Right.

Speaker 2 (56:52):
I'll tell people what the thing was.

Speaker 1 (56:53):
We were trying to figure out if Ray was going
to do a live head. I've told people that sometimes
we have to record it because you're celebrity and you're
doing interviews. What what are you doing? What are you
doing in an interview with who?

Speaker 5 (57:03):
What are your cronies down at South Florida?

Speaker 1 (57:07):
Are you kidding me?

Speaker 5 (57:09):
W io d well io d is not with them?
One of the one of the the big, oh big
one was is Charlie.

Speaker 1 (57:18):
Who's doing the mornings at iods?

Speaker 2 (57:19):
Is it Andrew Colton? Oh? Andrew?

Speaker 1 (57:23):
I know Andrew Colton. I have no idea was doing mornings?
He was, He was up at the station I worked
in Minneapolis for about five minutes anyway, Okay, yeah, don't
tell you didn't have Jimmy. Jimmy Jimmy Sephalo was the
man I filled in on that show once and they
have a the craziest clock, dude. And when I was

(57:44):
I was not doing this. It was a small little
interim and they let me do iod and I'm like,
this clock is whack.

Speaker 5 (57:49):
But whatever, yeah, whatever, right, yeah, but we're hearing we're
live and I'll talk to them next hour. So maybe
maybe not then listen, you might you know, I might
be in high demand for you next week because you know,
now everybody's attention all of a sudden, because we're talking
about something in the tropics and may actually try to
go up the entire East coast.

Speaker 6 (58:09):
So no, no, no, no, yeah, listen, listen, listen, no, listen, no.
I my my in laws are coming to visit, and
the last time they visited was March of twenty twenty
and COVID ball.

Speaker 2 (58:20):
Now listen. If there is some sort of big storm
event and they get stuck in my house, I swear
to God.

Speaker 1 (58:25):
Right, well, I mean, but you're not on that, that's right, right?

Speaker 2 (58:28):
Yeah? Oh man, dude it yeah, turn turn your heart
machine off to give give your keys. You're too old,
give us your keys to harp and it's over no more.

Speaker 1 (58:40):
Now you should do it. How about two in honor
of the new tornadoes movie right where they're like, ah,
one tornado was great in the nineties. How about too, right,
there's a great pitch meaning yeah, so.

Speaker 2 (58:51):
Too, I give you my aunt. I don't know, but
he is.

Speaker 5 (58:58):
Thanks, don't care, but I do think we are going
to have Debbie. So it'll take some time, but I
think it's early middle next week. We may be looking
at either a tropical storm or potentially a hurricane off
the Carolina coast. If you believe the America model, we'll
have a hurricane and it's not gonna move very quickly,
as it'll be in the Tuesday through whatever time.

Speaker 4 (59:20):
Oop.

Speaker 2 (59:20):
Sorry, see.

Speaker 1 (59:23):
Ross, You're right obviously he is. He's yeah, sorry about
that anyway. Now we'll make landfall in Dillsborough. Debbie hits Dillsborough.
Trying to think of other towns named d in North Carolina,
davids and Danby could be Danville. Well that's Virginia, right, yeah.

Speaker 3 (59:45):
Wow.

Speaker 1 (59:48):
He's in charge of harp now, so all.

Speaker 5 (59:50):
Right, either way, impacts for the coast possible. We're still
gonna have heat committity today lot to mid nineties depends
on where you are with a heat advisory basically from
stuff as parts of the triad not in it. But
either way, hot enough heat into season one O five
to one ten likely storms each afternoon Saturday Sunday, and
then next week. We'll worry about next week because I

(01:00:10):
mean there's even a chance we could have inland impacts
from that. Sorry, Ross, But as we get into the
first few days of next week, so lot's to watch
in the tropics, certainly stay two more updates coming as
made available.

Speaker 1 (01:00:22):
Yeah, inland impacts. That's code for Ross's house. Is that
what that is?

Speaker 3 (01:00:26):
Well?

Speaker 2 (01:00:26):
I tried to code it.

Speaker 1 (01:00:27):
That's fantastic.

Speaker 2 (01:00:28):
Try to hide that.

Speaker 1 (01:00:29):
Oh way, hold on Boston Paul's I mean email, shut
up and let race. I think he wrote that I
don't read functionally illiterate, so I don't know if that's
what he meant. So yeah, all right, well we'll talk
to you in the next hour, unless you got to try. Okay, Yeah,
we'll do our thing. Thank you. All right, there you go.

Speaker 2 (01:00:48):
Well that's good man.

Speaker 1 (01:00:49):
You guys gonna you know the Waltons at your house?
Do you guys all yell good night to each other?

Speaker 2 (01:00:54):
There's like some sort of massive storm event. Well, my
in lawns are here, I swear they're never going to
visit again.

Speaker 1 (01:01:01):
They're also never going to leave. That's why they want
to come to visit, because they already be there anyway.
All right, well, well we'll let Ray speak a little
more in the next hour. Right now, we'll take a
breaking in. Oh, Joe Biden, guys Zinger, Dark Brandon, bro
Dark Brandon doing his thing, uh, talking about the release
of three US hospital well two and a half, I

(01:01:22):
guess because technically one of the hostages his dual citizenship
with Russia and.

Speaker 2 (01:01:28):
And the US.

Speaker 1 (01:01:28):
But Paul Wheeling the reporter anyway, so Biden's there and
one of the reporters or maybe I don't know, maybe
a plant I don't even know who asked the question
fires this question in Biden's direction, and this is his
response repeatedly, that.

Speaker 5 (01:01:46):
He could have gotten the hostages out without giving anything
in exchange.

Speaker 1 (01:01:51):
What do you say to that? What do you say
to President shump?

Speaker 2 (01:01:53):
Now, former president, why didn't you do?

Speaker 1 (01:02:00):
Here's Dana Bash by the way, I think that was.

Speaker 3 (01:02:04):
What they call him drop moment at the end.

Speaker 1 (01:02:06):
That's because you're an idiot, and you're an idiot because
Trump specifically when he made that statement, was referring to Guskowitz. Gustowitz, Sorry,
I don't have his name right in front of me,
the reporter, And that was because they were talking about
at that time in retrospect to the w NBA player

(01:02:26):
and specifically the Lord of War and that deal. And
Trump was reminding folks that he was offered that deal
for Wheelan, who was the only hostage who was a
hostage when Trump was president. And then he was asked
about Guskowitz and he said the other thing that was
just quoted by Biden. The problem is the dude wasn't

(01:02:50):
a hostage until two years into the Biden regime. And
the other neither was the third And is this this
was actually part of a bigger deal where we literally
we traded like and and some other European countries because
Germany was holding on to essentially John Wick, right, and
we're just like, can we get this for a John Wick?

Speaker 2 (01:03:13):
Where these are the deals we're making with Russia?

Speaker 1 (01:03:17):
The people that traded out And I don't know, maybe
wheeling does work for the CIA, who the hell knows,
but like the people we traded out were for, you know,
we've captured this eighty year old English teacher who was
vacationing to take pictures of Saint Petersburg.

Speaker 2 (01:03:34):
What do you give it?

Speaker 1 (01:03:35):
Will you give us John Wick for her? Sure? Yeah, absolutely,
that's what we did. And it actually it's so much
worse than just the three. But it's not a mic
drop moment unless Trump has a friggin time machine. And
by the way, Ross, I didn't see the video yet.
What did the hostage say when he got off the
plane at Andrews this morning?

Speaker 2 (01:03:54):
Yeah, it was hilario. He goes, well, I'm never never
going there again. Brow. It's a good idea, and that's
why we don't leave the country.

Speaker 1 (01:04:02):
This is just Ross compounding his view. So we invited
on Mark Walker, and I want to do this official
since we brought you on in your current stet what
is your what is your official title now with the
with the campaign or the RNC stuff you're doing.

Speaker 3 (01:04:21):
I guess the exact wording is Principal Advisor to the
RNC on Faith Outreach, nonprofits, minority ministries. Long title. Just
trying to get out there and get people in the
faith community to realize what's at stake. Meeting with a
lot of pastors in large ministries. Just one quick example

(01:04:43):
So in Georgia there are nine hundred thousand unregistered adults.
Of that amount about forty two percent of what we
call regular church attendees two or three times a month.
So you've got three hundred and fifty thousand unregistered adults
that are people of faith, regular church attendees. Our goal,
my goal is to try to get out there and
get these folks engaged in the process.

Speaker 1 (01:05:05):
Okay, rosk you real quick, Ross, can you put up
the Wall Street Journal or audio from earlier this week?
I just it just clicked in my head. I want
to ask Mark about this and put you can put
up the long cut, not the short cut. Okay, all right,
so he's going to do that. So here's where I
want to start with you, Mark, because I have three

(01:05:25):
kind of distinct things I want to get into. Two
words started to permeate following what happened to Butler, pa
And when you look and I'm sure you've seen the
like the computer model of Trump's head and how it
moves and his body repositions when he's addressing that graph,
and you realize that literally at any other moment before that,

(01:05:49):
this is a very different conversation that we're having and
and so the bullet then passes, which thank you FBI
for actually admitting that's that passes and hits his year.
And the two words were divine intervention. Your your background
is obviously within the faith, your pastor before you were congressman.

(01:06:10):
And what do you when you see stuff like that,
people go divine intervention?

Speaker 2 (01:06:15):
What do you?

Speaker 1 (01:06:16):
What do you think about that?

Speaker 3 (01:06:19):
I take about and if I can put my minister's
hat on for for a moment, I know sometimes doesn't
always sell well on media. But if I if I'm
able to do so, I think I.

Speaker 2 (01:06:29):
Won't scream at you.

Speaker 3 (01:06:30):
It's okay, okay, Well, even if you did, it doesn't
deter me. But on this I take of the scripture
passage in James five seventeen. There's a verse there that
captures really the essence of this. It says, the effectual,
fervent prayer of a righteous man or righteous individual changes
or avails much. And I'm not, and nor have I

(01:06:50):
ever made the case that President Trump is the most
righteous among us. We're told they are none righteous. But
and I've had a chance to share my faith in
the golf, even in the White House with President Trump
one on one but when you have millions of Americans
that are praying for President Trump's safety on an individual

(01:07:11):
basis every single day of his life as a person
of faith, I believe that when it says avails or
changes much, I believe that does impact. And throughout our
history we've seen America come together in prayer through different
dark times or tragic times with with people who are

(01:07:33):
believers and people of faith. So yeah, if you look
at the computer module, the infantestimal odds of of what
that might have been just a slight turn. And the
more video, the more things that we see come out
about this, Uh yeah, I don't I don't have any
issue acknowledging that. I believe that this is something that

(01:07:55):
that that at times God protects those of people that
that that so many your lifting or praying about.

Speaker 1 (01:08:01):
Yeah, that doesn't because that's the push back. That's what
people will say. They go, this is president two Corinthians,
this is my favorite Bible verses, all of them. And
to that point, it's not necessarily the individual, but perhaps
what the individual represents is what you're saying and those
surrounding the individual and what they believe.

Speaker 3 (01:08:22):
Yeah, yeah, I think if people are praying for you.
There's so many different passages of scripture and throughout our Christianity,
the history the two thousand years that Christ lived and
died on the cross was burning rose again. We have
so many different counts through prayer to God doing some amazing,
miraculous works, to God's people coming to It's the most

(01:08:44):
powerful weapon that we have as believers or as Christians.
And I say that unshamedly.

Speaker 1 (01:08:50):
Yeah, and then you use the word weapons and now
they can twist your words there. Do you think do
you think and I've heard two people say this, now,
do you think it changed Trump's perspective? I like and
that maybe because like I, I've heard two people say
that it made him more introspective of this and and

(01:09:14):
perhaps perhaps his look. Trump is not churchgoer dude, okay,
and I don't know that he's purported to be. But
do you think that maybe something like that may cause
a person to move towards that?

Speaker 3 (01:09:29):
Uh?

Speaker 1 (01:09:29):
And do you have you had opportunity to see if maybe,
like how how Trump's processing that from a religious perspective?

Speaker 3 (01:09:38):
Yeah, I I And I wouldn't just quantify this around
President Trump, but uh, having been involved in ministries many
years growing up as I did. When someone has that
near death experience or their life is almost taken away
in a tragic situation, I believe that gives anybody, uh

(01:10:00):
with any kind of level of rationale to sit there
and pause and say, Okay, what what would have happened
if that situation would have taken my life? Uh, specifically
in regards to afterlife, is you know, is there the
heaven and the hell that so many people believe or
talk about. What I would I would have been there,
I would have I would have been facing my creator

(01:10:20):
seconds later? You know, what what is my life represent?
Because you start thinking about a lot of this is
how temporal and reorganizing priorities. And I do believe President
Trump went there and and I think he did his
best to articulate some of that as far as how
he processed that, and especially those weeks leading afterwards or
following afterwards.

Speaker 1 (01:10:41):
Yeah, and and and it's it's almost more for him
because I mean Trump's ordered people killed. I mean, let's
let's be real here, He's he has in in a way,
he's ordered murders. That because that is that is something
that the president has to do, whether it's the Austere
scholar or any of the rest. He's the guy who

(01:11:03):
gave the go even if he didn't do it, So
then you have to process that on top of everything else.

Speaker 3 (01:11:09):
Well, not only that you're exactly right, but let me
add to that. They know that with him coming back
into an administration is that he does not play or
Mint's words with the with these terrorists, he goes and
kills them. So we knew, and it was published even
in different press in print how much the Uranians are

(01:11:32):
basically looking for him or looking for any opportunity to
kill him to make sure that he is not or
would try to prevent him from being the forty seventh
president of the United States because he's not coming to
the negotiating table with terrors. He's coming to say, look,
my plan is to kill you if you harm Americans.

Speaker 1 (01:11:50):
I like that every Iranian bad dude right now is
having to tear his bed apart to make sure there's
not a bomb under it. I'm okay with you.

Speaker 3 (01:11:59):
Yes, you know it's not mutually exclusive to be a
follower of Christ, but also throughout biblical history and other history,
h to stand and defend our faith. That's that's that's
the It may seem like a paradox that we're to
love our neighbor, but we're also have the opportunity to
protect our families, to protect our faith as we seem

(01:12:20):
to up history.

Speaker 1 (01:12:22):
The Olympic opening ceremony. I have to know what you
thought of that.

Speaker 3 (01:12:27):
It was repulsive, But I hope that people realize that
this isn't just some crazy religious dudes that are saying,
look what's coming, looks what looks? What's happening? I mean here,
it is the world's largest stage. And even people that
I know that would even consider themselves devout Christians understood
this to be a huge mockery of anything that's that's

(01:12:52):
historically religious. When you look at one of the Da Vincius,
one of the most famous paintings of all time, depicting
the Lord's Supper. Uh so, yeah, it was absolutely repulsive,
but not surprised. And here's the thing. Try to keep
this from being overwhelming with partisan But we have a
democratic party that the bulk of the people that are

(01:13:12):
in this party, that's what they represent. This is such
a progressive mentality that they're okay with this. They're okay
with the depicture of this they're okay with with somebody
with X white chromosomes beating the crap out of a female.
This is what they believe is progress, and that's why
there's such a battle, what I believe is a spiritual
battle for the very soul of this country.

Speaker 1 (01:13:34):
Yeah the uh and that that whole thing with the
boxer too, because it's not as cut and dry as
this is a man who wanted to one day say
I am a woman.

Speaker 2 (01:13:43):
It is.

Speaker 1 (01:13:44):
It is a chromosomal thing, it's a testosterone thing, and
and it's it's a sticky, wicked and frankly, I think
that they should. There is an actual transgender boxer, I
believe from Portugal, and I think maybe that's the hell
to die on because that's a little more complex thing.
But when you don't have, when you don't care about
the religion, it's easy to mock it. And it was

(01:14:05):
weird watching them try to deflect it while one of
the participants is tweeting about this being the new gay Testament.

Speaker 3 (01:14:12):
I mean, it's just well, and this is where I
disagree with Elon Musk the other day when he tweeted
out something, look, if Christians don't get involved or engaged,
which has been Trump's message. In fact, he and I
were talking about that earlier this year from frustration with
the Christian folks not getting engaged politically, and they should.
That's one of the reasons that I'm out there doing
what I can. But when Elon Musk said, look, if

(01:14:34):
they don't, then Christians, the Christianity is going to die.
That's not true. I mean that there have been armies
marched against the Kings, have tried to destroy it all
throughout history. Christianity is not going to die. But in
the public arena, Christians could have a much larger voice
if they would get involved. We're told to pray for

(01:14:54):
our rulers. If that's the case, let's get as believers
and Christians, let's get involved in the political process. If
they would, it would be a game changer, helping to
push back a lot of this progressive ideology that's forced
on our children, force on our families as we've seen
these last few decades.

Speaker 1 (01:15:10):
Now, I'm going to play the full cut of this,
because of course the cut that was being circled in
the media had the final two seconds removed. And but
it's a Trump thing, and Trump said it and then,
of course they said that this was him telegraphing that
he's going to do the Hitler dictator thing. Even though
he didn't do it last time, he's going to do
it this time for sure, for sure. But he's speaking

(01:15:32):
to a group of Christians.

Speaker 3 (01:15:33):
Here.

Speaker 1 (01:15:33):
Here's the audio. I'm sure most of you have heard it. Christians,
get out and vote, just this time.

Speaker 2 (01:15:43):
You won't have to do it anymore. Four more years.
You know what, It'll be fixed. It'll be fine. You
won't have to vote anymore, of my beautiful Christians. I
love you Christians. I'm not Christian. I love you.

Speaker 3 (01:15:55):
Get out.

Speaker 2 (01:15:55):
You gotta get out and vote. In four years, you
don't have to vote again. We'll have it fit so good,
you're not gonna have to, all right.

Speaker 1 (01:16:02):
That last little line wasn't in there, by the way,
I don't know. It's his delivery style. It's just so
weird when he says my Christians, my lovely Christians. But whatever.

Speaker 2 (01:16:11):
What does he mean there?

Speaker 1 (01:16:13):
Obviously as it pertains to voting integrity, but also why
would you say that tell them to vote every time?

Speaker 2 (01:16:19):
Right?

Speaker 3 (01:16:21):
Yeah? Absolutely, And look you can't justify what he lays
out on every different comment sometimes you know, you have
to take the whole sum here and you look at
his track record. What specifically, I think what he's trying
to communicate is if by electing the Trump organization, in
the Trump administration, specifically him, he'll be the one that

(01:16:44):
gets out there and pushes back on the attacks of
the left, all these agencies that used the target Christianity.
He will rid that, he will root it out at
the very gut and you can go to lead your
lives without having to worry about it. It could be
more that a little in our ful. Yeah, I'm not
going to deny that it wasn't. But to his point,

(01:17:06):
the Christians, and that's one of the reasons they support
Trump in the droves that they do, is because he
is the one that we'll talk about this. He's the
only president in history to go after the United Nations
and speak they're at the United Nations Council about the
egregious attacks and the lack of religious liberty across these
different countries. That's why the especially in the working class

(01:17:30):
believers as a whole, look at President Trump, even with
all the different things that are that throughout his history
that would not match up with what we're taught as Christians.
They know that he is the warrior that will get
out there and allow their families and allow their beliefs,
allow them to worship in the way that they believe
they should. That's the point that I think he's trying

(01:17:51):
to drive it home. And when you're in a light setting,
sometimes it's not always said correctly, but his heart is
to get out there and make sure that these families
have the religious liberty allowed to raise the families that
they would like to do.

Speaker 1 (01:18:03):
So, I know you're not super familiar with that. By
the way, we're chatting with Mark Walker Faith Outreach d NC.
That's the DNC. Excuse me, R got to go with
the R.

Speaker 3 (01:18:17):
I'd be a missionary if that was the case.

Speaker 2 (01:18:19):
Yeah, yeah, no, I hear you.

Speaker 1 (01:18:20):
So there's a story out and you want to talk
you want to talk about just this. This is the
kind of stuff that I just JD and Brittany Lot
are a couple. They're two military veterans from Texas. To
get eight kids, they do a social media thing. They
go camping a lot and and a a group of

(01:18:41):
people who it is literally a group to target fundamentalist
Christians on Reddit and They did what is essentially a swatting.
They mass reported this family, who I don't know. I
watched some of their videos. It's wholesome stuff, and it's
not even preachy stuff. They mastered porting under the Children
and Family Services of Florida, and their life got literally

(01:19:05):
spun upside down. They were demanding they pull over on
the side of the road so somebody could come. They
went to a hospital. It was a whole thing. Ron
DeSantis has addressed this now, and I only have about
a minute. What do you think of stuff like this
and how do you balance wanting to protect kids with this.

Speaker 3 (01:19:22):
This is horrible, Yeah, it is horrible, but it goes
to show you the left they play hardball. If you
don't adhere or if you're not part of this progressive movement,
you are going to be in the crossfairs. I know
a little bit about this family. I know they are
Christian family and they kind of do things differently traveling

(01:19:43):
the country, homeschool and their kids and things. But in
America they have every right to be able to do so.
But if it doesn't fit the normal lift, if you
don't have them being indoctrinated in some teacher union supported
public education arena. It's offensive these folks.

Speaker 1 (01:19:58):
Yeah, I'm sorry to cut you out there, but we
got a role. I really appreciate the time there. And
let's have you back in your official capacity a little
more often.

Speaker 2 (01:20:05):
Okay, Mark, we'll do it.

Speaker 3 (01:20:07):
Katie, thank you so much.

Speaker 1 (01:20:08):
All right, and we will take a break, be right back.
Hang on.
