Speaker 1 (00:00):
Because you had yesterday and then he got today again.
If some of you're hearing for the for the first time,
you're not pleased because I don't know, you thought you
had plans or something. Uh. Then there's more college football
Saturday like Watts and then do because the NFL is
not here Sunday and ah oh with Labor Day college

(00:21):
football amazing. Carolina's gonna play then Wake Forest in the
middle there Stay played yesterday. I guess Elon played yesterday,
ECU played yesterday. Got app they're playing down in Charlotte.
Oh what great times, what exciting times. And that's why

(00:43):
I should be expending my energy because I'm gonna sue
the damn MNFL for emotional distress. Dude, I was not
doing well yesterday, I thought, Ross, I gotta tell you,
I saw an earlier report where they're like Micah Parsons
is going to the Bills the Packers or I can't
remember with the other team was, And I wanted that
for you.

Speaker 2 (01:03):
Uh yeah, I've seen that for a while now. But
like the cap space wasn't there.

Speaker 1 (01:07):
No, you guys are dangerously right at your cap. But yeah,
and and this guy want it paid and Yester the afternoon.
It happened the stupid packers. Stupid packers like, oh, well,
we have one hundred and eighty eight million dollars we're
not doing anything with how will that be great?

Speaker 3 (01:30):
Now?

Speaker 1 (01:30):
I gotta see the guy twice. And I got a
rookie quarterback who you know, I don't know if he
can throw, but I know he can't throw if his
head's not attached. I think that that's like maybe the
old time he guys could get away with that, but
I don't think that works anymore. So not pleased with
that at all. But also the only way to soothe myself.

(01:53):
And I'm going to inadvertently complain on a very personal
level and sound a little whiny, but I'm also going
to do the greatest ad for iHeartRadio that our management's
ever heard. You want passion, here's passion, the only way
to soothe yourself in a situation like that, where you're

(02:15):
looking at this going it's not good for me, my team,
my bragging rights, our position, our potential playoffs, and none
of this bodes well. Who's more miserable than me? And
then you immediately you get on the app whatever and

(02:36):
you find yourself the local sports station in the town
where the owner of the football team. Had he done
this in March, would have gotten a lot more, for
it wouldn't have been in this crazy, weird thing where
the dude's sleeping on the sidelines during the preseason games
and everything's weird and nobody's talking to each other. And
then when you finally say something, you're like, oh, this
was the plan all along for Michael Parsons, And then

(03:00):
everyone does memes of you as Joe Biden walking up
the stairs air Force one falling on your face. So
the only way, and I know it's a horrible system,
the only way I could soothe my soul over having
Parsons now in my division on my rival is to
flip over to listen to some Dallas talk radio and

(03:24):
just I don't know, like feed off their misery. Is
that bad? It's horrible, isn't it.

Speaker 4 (03:32):
Is?

Speaker 1 (03:32):
This time of the year does weird things to people.
But I will tell you it's very cathartic, right if
you're even a little bit into sports. And I know
we can do this with politics too, but a lot
of people don't think too but and a lot there
are even some people who think like politics invented this.
They didn't right the natural progression, like during Trump's first term,

(03:54):
when he'd go say he'd make a big speech, or
there'd be that crazy remember that crazy press conference in
the yell room where he like upped Jim Acosta's fake
news in noss and then he went after the PBS
check and and who who do you think? I watched
analysis of that from Fox. No, not even CNN, even

(04:16):
though Acosta was, you know the guy they were going after. No,
you flip over. You want to see the smiling whether
or not smiling faces of Rachel Maddow and crew. Maybe
some Chris Hayes, but not too close to Rachel. So
people start asking questions like what that's the same person?
And and and then you you you listen to that

(04:40):
fucking it crazy come in your way, And I don't
know why. It just felt felt warm and cuddly. So
that's what I was reduced to yesterday, Dallas sports talk
radio listener guy, so I could hear the hear the
misery and their voices. Feel a little bad for him.
I'm surprised raced Agic just with us today. But he's

(05:03):
got accordion duties. He couldn't get out. So anyway, honestly,
then Ross didn't even have to stress because he's not
in his division. Even I just want to look if Parsons,
if the best case scenario, Parsons doesn't play because he's good,

(05:25):
that's a compliment. Okay, guy averaged twelve sacks four of
his first five seasons. That's insane. That's like, just figure
out where in the hall you're gonna put this guy
if he stays healthy. Not only do I not want
him in the I don't want him to play, but
if he's gonna play, I want him in the AFC.

(05:47):
Put him over there, you know them. And by the way,
his contract is worth more than he's gonna get paid
more than Mahomes next year or this year. That's crazy.
So was there so you saw the rumor that he
might go to the Bill? Was there ever ever real
discussion or was that just they could use him?

Speaker 2 (06:09):
I mean, you never know, man, You never know, Like
you know, your sources say this, your sources say that,
and then you know there's so much speculation. I don't
know how it is when it comes to the Vikings,
but with the Bills, there's always so much speculation, like
if there's ever a free agent. Everybody, like the fandom
assumes they're gonna go to Buffalo, like whoever it is, Like,
obviously they're gonna go. They want to be a bill.

Speaker 1 (06:28):
I was so happy earlier this week when we took
uh and thank you to Panthers for babysitting my boy
Adam Thielen back to Minnesota. Adam Thieling is an amazing story. Sorry,
I know I'm getting a little sportsy, but what of it,
Adam Thielen. This isn't just an undrafted free agent or
an undrafted rookie, right Adam Thielen played at Mankato State.

(06:50):
You all didn't know that was a collegetil. I just
told you it was okay, which in Mankato, Minnesota. It's
where you go if you live in the Twin Cities
and you wanted to go to the Capella's back in
the day, so you go to So he went to
Mecato State, Minnesota. Kid went up. They have a you know,
an open practice. I don't know if all NFL teams

(07:11):
do it, but Minnesota does. And I mean it's open,
but you still have to have a little bit of
you like, do you know what a football is, right,
did you play anywhere and then they'll let you in there?
And he wowed them, He wowed them, and he made
the roster. And he didn't just make the roster. He
made catches. He made so many catches that people couldn't

(07:32):
forgure out what was going on? What's up with this
little weird white dude. It was in the number three slot.
I got bumped up to two. This is back of
the Stefan Diggs days, him and Stefan, And yes, Stefan
being as good as he was, definitely aided Adam. But
Adam ended up going to the Pro Bowl. Then he
went to the Pro Bowl again, and I was heartbroken
when they set them down to Carolina. But Vikings and

(07:57):
make some decisions. Man. So this year with him back,
Justin Jefferson stud a tight end, running back, everything. The
only question was JJ McCarthy rookie quarterback. And now he's
gonna have Micah Parsons two times. That's not fair? Oh awful.

(08:22):
Maybe Micah Parsons didn't want to dress like gatorade, uh
uh ice or whatever? The white which one's the white
flavor of the gatorade? Is that why you didn't want
a new hat ross the the white uniforms from the Bills.
I saw those everywhere.

Speaker 2 (08:40):
I saw this yesterday. I don't like them. I don't
think it's smart. Like, I hope it doesn't snow that day.

Speaker 1 (08:46):
Well, that's what's gonna be my question, because like I
can see they go, oh they can't see our receivers.

Speaker 2 (08:50):
Yeah yeah, yeah, but you can't either, Like that was
my big thing, Like because and once again this is
you know, the fandom is split on it, but most
people freeze. That's the favor Most people people like were
a fan of the uniform. But I initially saw them
and I was like, I hope it don't snow.

Speaker 1 (09:04):
Yeah, well doesn't snow in Buffalo, doesn't Who was it?
It was the Bengals had the same problem. It was
last year of the year before they played in some
Blizzard game and they could barely see themselves because they
have those uniforms that are like the black and white ones.
That'll be a problem. Yeah, I have to assume those
are just an early season thing and just to sell

(09:26):
one hundred and ninety dollars jersey. Yeah, whatever I saw
they were going for, it's.

Speaker 2 (09:30):
Just for one game. In October, so hopefully it doesn't snow. Yeah,
but still, and I think it's against the Pats.

Speaker 1 (09:36):
And the Vikings have a white uniform that they've used
a couple times for this for this particular thing, and
it looks dumb as hell. I don't like it. I
don't like it. I want some color on there. I
feel like, you know what it feels like. It feels
like an apartment wall you're renting. There's no there's no
touch of you there.

Speaker 2 (09:56):
Well, you know a lot of these uniforms, they're sort
of like businesses now where you know, you've seen the
argument online how McDonald's doesn't look like mcon. They're all
like these square boxes now, very minimalist, right, yeah, and
what they try to do the cracker barrel and stuff
and uniforms are sort of the same way now where
they design the new uniform and it's just very plain
chain and I don't know, well, as.

Speaker 1 (10:15):
Long as it's different, I mean it's some of it is.
College kind of got ahead of this where they would
they would get real cute so they could put out
as many uniform designs because they knew that their super
fans would go buy right.

Speaker 2 (10:29):
You'll go into one. Yeah, you'll go into the shop
and you'll buy the different hats and the different but
I like the the I want the red, white and blue.
That's what I want.

Speaker 1 (10:36):
Yeah, well that's understandable, man. So I thought that was
the biggest controversy yesterday. Nope, nahna this. But I'm telling you,
you ever wanna you ever wanna soothe your sports soul,
find whoever is more miserable than you get on the
iHeartRadio app or whatever you gotta do, find their local
talk station right after it happens. Oh, I don't feel

(10:58):
so much better about yourself off in a hot minute.
It's kind of like going and looking at dumpster fire
threads on Twitter, or like even leaning into Blue Sky. Man.

Speaker 2 (11:06):
I heard, is it true? I was reading that the
Cowboys are already eliminated?

Speaker 1 (11:11):
I did see that. Yeah, true a lot a lot.

Speaker 2 (11:15):
So is it that's real?

Speaker 1 (11:17):
I mean, to the two toasts, to the two Cowboys
fans I talked to yesterday, they feel that that's true.
It was, and every caller on the Dallas Show felt
that's it was going around.

Speaker 2 (11:28):
I saw an exit was a photo of.

Speaker 1 (11:30):
Dak Prescott staring up at the storeboard yeah.

Speaker 2 (11:33):
Prescott staring and underneath them it just says eliminated.

Speaker 1 (11:36):
I sent that the last two years to my buddy
Rudy is a big Dallas fan. Right as the first
Dallas game was starting. I have it literally cue and
ready on Thursday because it's Eagles Cowboys on Thursday to
kick it off. That's that literally is going out. It's
just it's a tradition. At this point you have to

(11:57):
do it. And look, uh, I got like I've got
it for let me tell let me tell you the
funnest one of these. All right, And I've told a
little of this story just because more from our side
of it. But the greatest this should be in the Smithsonian.
I'm serious about this. Wisconsin loves the Packers, Okay, that's clear.

(12:24):
But Wisconsin is much more entertaining in places like Haywood,
the Dells, any of the musky fishing places where you
have bars in the middle of like Cranberry swamps and stuff,
and they have you know, they have little sports talk

(12:45):
shows all over the place. So when Brett Farvre decided
to sign with the Vikings for two years, we had
the whole riga Moreau in Minneapolis. I was literally I
was at work. He's common. He lands at the Executive
Airport in Saint Paul. It's like a mile drive over
to Winter Park, which is where the Vikings. Each q
is in Eden Prairie, Minnesota. And uh, it was like

(13:10):
the it was like the Bronco Chase. All the TV
networks had their like the copters out they were following
the uh Brett Farves and there Brett Farves in there.
So what am I doing on at the station? We're
trying to figure out how we can, uh, we can
make feasts out of this. So one we start listening
to the numerous sports talk stations in Wisconsin and they

(13:31):
are Appait's End Times dude, the zombies are here, and
then uh me and the producer for Paul Allen, who's
actually he does a show on k FAM. He's also
played by play Guy and I think it was our
our imaging dude, I can't remember. We kept hearing they

(13:51):
were they were having five memborabilia burning parties at like
these super Scannie bars. And when I say Scannie, that's
Wisconsin was but I mean Scani's right. The dudes you
think about with the Wisconsin accent that would show up
to burn all the Brett fare material, and we got
the bright idea that we should call the bars later

(14:15):
when they're burning stuff and they've had a chance to
put about fourteen in them into themselves and just let
them talk. And I am so sad. I do not
have I do. I don't know what happened to all
that audio, Like you said, it belongs to the Smithsonian,
just the most wasted, faced, drunk Scanies whose lives were destroyed.

(14:40):
Because I don't know if you know this. A lot
of times you go to a house in Wisconsin and
that we would go into a room and it's packer
green and on the wall they have a stock certificate.
And that's that's like, that's the whole, that's the inner
holy chamber man and Brett Farvre going to play for
the Vikings. Well, cataclysmic.

Speaker 2 (15:03):
What you're describing like the basement, it reminds me of
I've seen something similar. The only place I've really ever
seen this where it's.

Speaker 1 (15:10):
It could be a basement, could be a home office,
they say, but it's always painted green, always has a
stock certificate. Right.

Speaker 2 (15:15):
It's the same way sort of in Omaha or Nebraska,
where they're all yeah, black red and white for the huskers.

Speaker 1 (15:23):
I've seen that before, and I look, I know what
he's just around here. I've been in houses that have
a full Carolina basement and a full State basement. I
got it. But that was we just we just hit
it right, and the idea and I don't think it
was my idea, but I absolutely was all on board
to call the bars after they're now all drunk burning

(15:45):
their stuff. There's grown men crying that have to go
back to driving the gravel truck tomorrow, who are burning
like a thousand dollars worth of farm gear. It's crazy,
and want to tell you all about it, even though
we're the enemy.

Speaker 2 (15:59):
So I mean that move though, I mean, obviously I
have nothing to you know, I don't.

Speaker 1 (16:03):
All right, Well, hey, hang on, hang on, hang on,
we'll get we'll get into more of this coming up.
We'll be right back. We're here, And that does mean
an eighth five p caleunter will join us, so we'll
chat with him, because they got some fun stuff going on.
I am curious an update on the uh hey, let's
murder the tiny little Ukrainian girl on our light rail story.

(16:24):
As more and more emerges about the dirt bag alleged
to have done it, and the fact that he was
pretty well known to police for being a psychopath, and
yet there he was so just randomly allegedly stab Ukrainian

(16:45):
girl to death. Who's just trying to get somewhere on
the light rail at ten o'clock. So maybe we'll get
an update there, all right, few things, Where do I
even start? Hey, do you guys see the Mexican senators
fistfighting each other yesterday? It had something to do with
a debate over US military intervention against drug cartels. Believe

(17:09):
it or not, there are some senators down there who
are like, yeah, yeah, if the US wants to come
in and you know, take a hell fire drone over
to l whatever's in charge his house and do that,
we might be interested. Now that's a question for us.

(17:30):
I don't know one hundred percent what I would be
comfortable with. But even the conversation is very tensious down there.
So they're they're talking, they're in their suits, they're literally
and then all of a sudden they're fistfighting. Man. I
don't know if anything got worked out, but I watched
We need more of that ross? Would you watch Ted

(17:50):
Bud fight Adam Schiff. I don't know if he do it,
but I watched that. Yeah, would you watch every other
senator fight Slenderman? Tom Tillis?

Speaker 2 (18:01):
I mean, I watch sports. I like it to be fair,
like I like the rules to be the same for
both teams. And some people would say that wouldn't be
fair because of the numbers. But Tom Tillis has been
on team. Tom Tillis has been on his own side
for what seems like forever.

Speaker 1 (18:17):
So correct the Notre Dame. So yeah, man, are you
okay with that? All right? Let me help you out.
Alejandro Alito Morena and uh, by the way, these weren't
two nobodies. The other dute he fought uh for Bernandez
Norono is the president of the Senate. So yeah, some

(18:42):
big stuff. Here's what you guys want to do, because I, again,
as much as I enjoyed it and I kind of
want ours to do it, you probably can't do that.
Here's how. Let me let me help you out of
way to solve your differences. What you want to do
is you want to get some chickens? All right, roz,
have you heard of this method? Very popular down in Mexico?

(19:03):
You want to get some chickens, preferably roosters, probably the
angry or the better. Do you have any glue or
broken bottle glass like like in blood Sport at the
end with the thing kind of like that, only with
the chickens, and then let that solve it. Let me
know how that goes again. It's just like it's this

(19:28):
cathartic thing, and it's it's probably not good, the cathartic
thing where you just watch other people destroy their lives
more or their teams, and then you feel a little
better on the backside. I don't know what kind of
innate human nature that is. It's probably not a good one,
but there you go. Obviously, don't fight chickens. People eat chickens.

(19:49):
They're delicious. Get some eggs. Those are delicious too. Now
I want eggs. Just one of those mornings, all right,
So I'll get that out of way, that out of
the way, perfect, perfect, perfect. Oh and I mentioned Pete
Calender's coming up at eight oh five. So normally this

(20:10):
would be the news cycle where we've had a chance
for politicians to get off the initial reaction phase to
something and then get into their true legislative agenda about
its tale as old as time. We just didn't have
to wait for that this time. Shockingly, and I don't
know if you guys saw this. So in Minneapolis they

(20:33):
had and this is like, this is a thing that
happens in Minnesota, and it's happened before. And I'll explain
how they decided they were going to have like this
big press conference and to bring the community together. So
they started this thing out and it was you know,
the police, the police guy there, and they had a

(20:54):
local represented from the Catholic church obviously this is a
Catholic school, Catholic church. And they spoke and then and
it got so bad that even CNN pulled away from it.
It then turned into a Democrat Party rally and all
the local TV networks. In fact, there's really great audio

(21:16):
of KMSP Fox nine in the Twin Cities there, which,
by the way, Ross, do you know who works there
is she's still one of the anchors up there. I
think Dave's wife. That's where Dave's wife went. Remember Dave
from back in the day, he loved Dave. Ye love Dave,
Love Dave and his wife went over super nice Kelsey, Yeah,

(21:38):
you probably remember her from Ral she went up there.
So yeah, it just turned into this whole rally where
even like the local stations were like, oh, we gotta
get out of this. This is not because again it
then just got hijacked into a political rally. And it's
exactly what happened with Paul Wellstone's funeral, which is like
the famous story in Minnesota politics of when the Democrats

(22:01):
because Paul Wellstone was very popular. He's very popular in
the state that Republicans controlled a lot of because he
was a really nice guy. He was he could genuinely
connect with you. I enjoyed the interactions that I had
with him, even if I didn't agree with him, and
even if he didn't agree with him, I never I
never would have said he was nasty. He was running

(22:22):
against Norm Coleman. He was up flying around the state
as you do, in his plane crash and he died
up near Evelyth, him and a couple of members of
his staff, and so they'd either gonna have a big
funeral for him before they fished h Walter Mondale out
to try to run against Norm Coleman, and uh, the
younger voters all thought Mondale was dead. They didn't realize

(22:45):
that was a real person still, so they had this
big rally in every TV station in Minnesota covered it
the funeral of the memorial for Paul Wellstone and they
didn't even wait ten minutes. The whole thing turned into
a Republican can suck vote Democrat thing and they were
given prime time on all of these TV networks. It
was a giant debacle, giant debacle, and Norm Coleman won

(23:10):
by the way, only to then get ousted by Al
Franken with the Markalias recount insanity six years later. But
so like they speed run to this stuff, and so
now it's up to the different you know, hosts and
what not to go ahead and get caught up, maybe
get some periphery some other stories about this dude. So

(23:33):
I thought this was interesting because people were saying, well, look,
he's in his twenties. You can't blame his parents. I
guess his mom's not talking to investigators. I don't know
if that's changed overnight, but you know, people are blaming
the parents. He's an adult now. Well, he was living
at home. And the question I think people had, especially

(23:58):
when she was going and filing documents, to go ahead
and be like all right, we're gonna go. We're gonna
whatever you want. If that's how you feel, this is
what we're gonna do, rather than stopping questioning it is
were there any other signs? Was there anything going on?
And I don't know, this sounds like it might be
a sign. You tell me, can you see something like erratic?
It doesn't leave your mind? So he would former classmate.

Speaker 3 (24:22):
Put up his hand and say, like, praise Hitler.

Speaker 1 (24:26):
That's weird, right, kid raises his hand in class. I
don't know if it's to answer what's two plus two? Billy?
Praise Hitler? That's a little disconcerting. So this guy never launched?
What is it the failure to launch or whatever they
call it? Like he clearly never launched. There's also uh,

(24:50):
there's also portions where he talks about maintaining his long
hair because he's mad at himself for basically into the
trans ideology. But it's the only thing that remains of it.
It's really I mean, it's sad as it can be
for such a despicable human being, but like nobody wants

(25:10):
to have this conversation. This is what we were hearing yesterday.
So but we weren't hearing it from all the journalists
like you know, the Jake Tappers of the world, who
were more concerned with things like this.

Speaker 5 (25:20):
Another piece of the puzzle as to who the shooter
was in Minneapolis, Starter Debuting says, according to court records,
because there's been some confusion about what the shooter's name was, Yes,
Robin Westman's mother applied to change your child's name in
twenty nineteen. It was at one point Robert Paul Westman Core.
But since she identifies as a female and wants her
name to reflect that identification was underage, it's now Robin.

Speaker 1 (25:44):
Yeah, so let's go ahead and let's get that. Let's
make sure we get that right by the person who's
not alive anymore to complain about it and then to
ignore that component of it and that thing I just
told you about the hair. I mean, I don't know
the extent. I don't know that, I don't know that
hormones were involved or any of the rest of it.

(26:05):
But as you look through some of this stuff, you
look at a person who doesn't know who they are,
and rather than anyone stepping in to kind of, you know,
either help remind them or point them in that direction,
it sounds like it's just a avalanche of adults who
are like you are whoever you want to be.

Speaker 2 (26:26):
Yeah, that's the problem here, man. And we've said this
before in the show, where it's like, you know, every
kid at some point is sort of confused and doesn't
feel right, and you go through puberty and you're doubting
yourselves when everything is weird and you don't know who
you are and you're questioning out you know, some kids
question their sexuality, like what am I am? I this?

(26:46):
And then when you bring it up, all the adults
are like, oh, yeah, you're definitely that that's who you are.
We're not going to question you, We're not going to
try to what dissuade This is who you are. You
build your entire identity up of this thing. And then
suddenly you get older and you're sort of like, that's
not who I am anymore and that but now you're nothing.
Now what are you now?

Speaker 1 (27:03):
Yeah, And it's like there is a dividing line between
you thinking that your kid might be gay and now
they're out of the house at fourteen because it's the
nineteen twenties or whatever. I'm just using very stereotypical examples here, right,
versus something like this where your kids like, I think

(27:24):
I'm the other gender, right, and you're like absolutely right.

Speaker 2 (27:28):
Now only do you say absolutely, but you say yeah,
you are, and you're being persecuted by society and we
need to change bathrooms and we need to change sports,
and we need to change language, and we need to
change everything that society is because you're not mentally ill,
You're fine. It's the world. It's the problem.

Speaker 1 (27:44):
By the way, praise Hitler thrown in there a bunch
in class.

Speaker 2 (27:49):
But at some point, right, at some point, as the adult,
you have to be like, no, that's not what this is.
You can't play along with the delusion because you're not
helping the person.

Speaker 1 (28:01):
I sees. There's like people are selling me stuff about
the dad. Now I don't know if he's a c
I a guy. Yeah I was.

Speaker 2 (28:07):
I was going to ask you about that.

Speaker 1 (28:09):
Hold off on that for now. I'm just like, what
is this in my email? What's going on? What he's
he's uh, he's sticking his kid with loucinogenic So, I mean,
what do you what.

Speaker 2 (28:21):
The rumor the rumor is because I was going to
ask you about this off the air, but The rumor
is that the dad worked for the CIA and the
d o D was like a CIA analyst or something.

Speaker 1 (28:30):
I mean, might be. I don't know. I don't know
what the dad does.

Speaker 2 (28:33):
And people are saying, you know, they're talking to the
mom a lot, and they're putting the spotlet in the mom,
but nobody's focusing on the dad.

Speaker 1 (28:38):
What's up with the dad? Like dad's turning out Manchurian
murder people or what I mean? What I that's that's
where this thing gets really weird, really cool.

Speaker 2 (28:45):
I mean, he worked for the DUD. I could explain
the arsenal.

Speaker 1 (28:48):
My dad worked for the d o D. That's awesome.
He did. People probably don't know my dad was. He
was electronics enginery. He wasn't a really good dad. He
was electronics engineer and uh uh. One of his projects,
which I did not realize until I was much older,
he is he actually worked on the electric system for
the UH. He worked for Delco at the time. He

(29:09):
was kind of and then Delco was contracted by the
DoD for the Apache, the electric system for the Apache,
which is pretty cool. He never could get him to
talk about it with me, and then he left. So
but yeah, so it doesn't mean but it also doesn't
mean you're you know, you're like, all right, we're gonna
put these hallucinogenics in you and see if we can

(29:31):
get you to murder a foreign leaders somewhere, like you know,
real deep CIA stuff. So I don't know what the
answer is. I know the answer is not listening to
Senator Mark Werner, who frankly probably needs someone to fight him.

Speaker 6 (29:44):
I'm sure you've all heard about one more of these
tragedies that took place in Minneapolis today. The mayor said
it best, This is not a time for thoughts and prayers.
These kids were praying the we get it, like, let's
lower our flags? How much more this before we recognize
that sensible gun restrictions have to be out there.

Speaker 1 (30:06):
Don't give me the kind of normal crap of excuses.

Speaker 6 (30:11):
These were kids in a church praying at a Catholic school.

Speaker 1 (30:16):
Is this really who we are?

Speaker 6 (30:17):
America?

Speaker 1 (30:18):
You know what's crazy, too, is is Warner purports to
be a Catholic, and I think he doesn't listen to
anything or purports to be a Christian. Some of them too,
Like I thought the Vice President had a very good
rebuttal to this yesterday. See, I put it in the prep.
I thought it was so good.

Speaker 2 (30:38):
Hangou, it was amazing. I saw to the gym and
I had to repost it.

Speaker 1 (30:41):
Oh okay, all right, so you had seen it. It
Basically it was you were not praying because we think
prayer is the only thing, right, It's well, I want
to read it. I don't. I don't want to screw
it up. Hold on, just to say, uh, I did
put in the prep right, Oh, here we go, yeah, yeah,
here we know all right. So he was asually responding

(31:02):
to Jensaki because of course she wrote, prayer is not
freaking enough. Prayers do not end school shootings. Prayers do
not make parents feel safe sending their kids to school. Prayers,
prayer does not bring these kids back. Enough with the
thoughts and prayers and Vance wrote, he said, we pray
because our hearts are broken. We pray because we know

(31:22):
God listens. We pray because we know that God works
in mysterious ways and can inspire us to further action.
Why do you feel the need to attack others for praying? Yeah, yeah,
Why do you feel the need to attack other people
for praying when kids were just killed? Praying and he's right, right,

(31:43):
like the things are not mutually exclusive. You can pray
and then you can also do right. In fact, there's
a lot of I don't know if you know this.
There's a lot of things where people who were deep
into a relationship, let's go from the Bible with God,

(32:07):
got that divine inspiration, did pray, but then they had
to do stuff. I don't know if you know this. Ross,
do you ever see this where God would have them
do stuff like physical actions that they then had to do.

Speaker 2 (32:18):
I did see. I have seen that.

Speaker 1 (32:19):
Yes, Okay, all right, there's just little stuff, right, not
like building giant boats or sacrificing your own kid or
all the things. Walk around here, we'll show you how
to knock the walls down on this thing. Right, it's
a two fer. So it's just really gross that that's

(32:39):
where this thing keeps ending up. But also maybe it's
really helpful. I don't know, because it feels so even
if you're not religious, it should feel gross to you
because the only filter you have to run it through
is Jensaki or the mayor. Yesterday we played that audio.
Ask yourself, had this been in Islamic school? And there
are plenty in Minneapolis. There's plenty not far from this

(33:01):
over in the big Somali neighborhoods around like five points
and also over in the fourth district. They're up in
North Many. They have Islamic schools. They have a really
big Islamic school over by where grandfathers used to be.
It's a great little like sports bar bachi place. And
I promise you have somebody to attacked while they're in

(33:22):
the middle of prayer. There would be no prayer, would
not be part of this discussion. It just wouldn't be.
And that's the only filter you need to show you
how either willfully ignorant or just downright evil. This whole
line is all right eight eight eight nine three four
seven eight seven four. We've got some other stories to

(33:43):
update you on as well, and we will get to
that coming up off the air. Discussed apparently apparently the
way that we've been doing things unfortunately has transitioned. It's
not my fault, it's not Ross's fault, it's whatever this
strategy's fault is, I guess, but I feel your pain, bro.

(34:05):
So we play some audio from Mark Warner, right, senator,
former governor, lawyer, Harvard lawyer, AnyWho uh wait, yeah, is
it Harvard? Let me make sure I'm correct here. Yeah, yeah,
Harvard Lawyer. There we go. All right, So we played

(34:26):
some audio from him a little earlier. Let me play
it again and tell me if anything stands out in
this audio.

Speaker 6 (34:32):
I'm sure you've all heard about one more of these
tragedies that took place in Minneapolis today. The mayor said
it best. This is not a time for thoughts and prayers.
These kids were praying the we get it, like, let's
lower our flags? How much more of this before we
recognize that sensible?

Speaker 1 (34:52):
So does anything there? I'm not going to let him
finish his stupid thought. Anything there stand out to you
is maybe a little weird? Or are we so far
into this you didn't even notice?

Speaker 2 (35:01):
Yeah, I'm so annoyed by this first off, personal pet
peeve before I get to the larger point, I agree
with you.

Speaker 1 (35:07):
I'm laughing, I am.

Speaker 2 (35:08):
This guy is an elected member of Congress, yeah, he said,
a former governor.

Speaker 1 (35:13):
Former governor. Harvard Lawyer is seventy. He's been basically doing
this drift right.

Speaker 2 (35:18):
Well, he looks great for seventy. Listen, you are ok,
you're seventy. You are holding your lapel microphone in front
of your face like an eighteen year old fitness influencer,
and you look like an absolute moron to the point
where I can't even pay attention to what you're saying.

Speaker 1 (35:32):
He was one who did the video where they all
did the same thing holding the lapel here, Why are
they doing this? I don't know.

Speaker 2 (35:39):
You don't hold that teeny time I see people like
you know sports, it has a tiktokrapylu Yes, see Bill's
influencers like fitness influencers. It's typically a young gen z
thing where you're holding a little tiny microphone in front
of your face like it's a Bob Barker microphone, but
it's not.

Speaker 1 (35:57):
Bob Barker biphone.

Speaker 2 (35:59):
I could respect, Yeah, I would laugh, I'd say that's funny. Yeah,
but that belongs in your shirt. I'm next time I
make a video, I'm just gonna use a big boom mic,
the big boom mics they use in movies that go
that you don't see that's off the screen, And I'm
gonna hold it in front of my face like a
regular microphone, and I'm gonna be like, oh, I wasn't aware.
I don't I'm I don't have any experience with microphones.
I've never seen a micro Is this guy.

Speaker 1 (36:23):
Ready to rumble?

Speaker 7 (36:24):
What this is?

Speaker 1 (36:24):
A microphone?

Speaker 2 (36:25):
I was unaware, I'm sorry, microphone experience, Yeah, nun nut.
So I wasn't aware that I was supposed to like
hold that above my head out of frame. I thought
it was what are you doing? So that's annoying. And
the second thing, the thing that you were alluding to,
is you have this. Once upon a time, I would
be able to see what you wanted me to load
in the morning. Hey, ross, load this audio in the
morning from this politician, and I'd be like, all right,

(36:47):
well it's an elected official.

Speaker 1 (36:49):
I want to wear the clipped already because it should
take you a moment.

Speaker 2 (36:52):
Yeah, I won't have to worry about bleeping that, because
sometimes when you send me stuff, you're like, hey, check
out this crazy bastard on the street doing this crazy thing.
I might have to bleep that because he you're a
normal person. Then you might drop swear words, or it's
some horrific video or some attack and there's going to
be like f bombs in the background, and I have
to bleep that. For the FCC, So we can keep
our license, so we can keep doing the show. But
when you send me video of or audio of an

(37:12):
elected official, I shouldn't have to worry about that. The
new thing, and we covered this a few days ago
because they did these focus groups and they said, hey, hey, Dems,
you have a problem where people don't think you speak
like human beings because you use all these crazy words
like unalived or all these kind of words that people documented.
Yeah right, yeah, you need to start talking like human beings.

(37:34):
So the Dems have been like, what we need to
do is start swearing in all of our video so
we sound like quote the common man, because that's what
the common man does all the time. They just swear
which are completely insulting, and that's what they do. So
now it seems like every week you send me audio
from elected official and I have to bleep it out,
and that is maybe I'm an old fogy in this way.

(37:56):
I don't think elected officials should be doing that. It
annoys me.

Speaker 1 (37:59):
It's gotten so free. I started, like in my mind
because I just sit around and I think up horrible thoughts.
I'm like, what if this happened previously? Can you imagine Reagan?

Speaker 7 (38:07):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (38:07):
No, it's not just a shiny city on a hill.
It's a shiny city on a hill. Or even better,
Nancy Reagan, Uh, what do you say to drugs? Ross you?
What should you say if I offer you drugs that
you should say.

Speaker 7 (38:23):
No?

Speaker 6 (38:23):
No, like no.

Speaker 2 (38:27):
And just to be clear, because we hear this whole time.
Oh if Trump did well, Trump has done it and
annoys me when Trump does it people some people are.

Speaker 1 (38:33):
Like, oh, it's great. Do you hear Trump drop the
F bom? I don't like that.

Speaker 2 (38:37):
I don't think the president should be swearing. Now, Listen,
I understand elected officials are human beings. I am well
aware that they swear when they're not on camera because
they're people and they're gonna drop s bombs and F
bombs and everything else. But I believe, if you're an
elected official, especially the president, so it does go for
him as well, you should not be dropping the F
bomb at a rally or or an unoppressed conference. That's

(38:58):
not an actual preser. It's just my opinion. I just
believe that you are an elected official. There could be
like one he gets one pass. If a bullet pierces
you completely, yes, you can yell the F yeah, completely, yea.
And like I said, but I mean, I'm just not
a fan of it, Like I just I just don't

(39:18):
understand it. And maybe that's the old Fogey me. I
just don't like when elected official they're dropping F bombs,
but especially the Democrats are doing it on purpose. They
are purposely inserting the swear words so they sound more
like the common person so they can relate and get
votes because they're robots, and they're more insulting about it.

Speaker 1 (39:33):
Right. Look, don't get me wrong. And it's sometimes radio
guys have the filthiest mouths, and it's just because we
have to control ourselves. Golf course, it's gonna get ugly.
The difference is it's natural, Like I'm naturally a lunatic.
Yeah no, it's naturally. My seven iron lives in a
pond now and and it had a funeral surrounded by

(39:54):
F words. And now we'll buy another seven iron because
I know what's gonna happen.

Speaker 2 (39:57):
And you know how I am. I swear like the
sailor off the air all the time. I do, But
I'm not an elected official, and if I was, I
wouldn't be dropping F bombs in front of kids and stuff.

Speaker 1 (40:05):
It doesn't seem right to me. You don't you show
remotes and do I've gain you? We're out here at
the blankety blank point. Yeah, I want to hold my
elected officials to a higher standard. Leaders should be held
to a higher standard. But it's weird that the Democrats
are doing it on purpose. But it's worse because it's forced.

Speaker 2 (40:21):
And especially like you mentioned, like Warner, he's like a
former lawyer. Lawyers watch their words very carefully because if
you're in a court room, a single word can screw
up your entire argument injure your client.

Speaker 1 (40:33):
Lawyer, Yeah, he knows what he's got to argue your
point without using expletives. So, uh, that's Ross's beef. Can
I throw one other beef? Since we're in the beef
and over the beef, Explain this to me. This is
a phenomenon that once you hone in on it, you
can never unseat it. Actually tweeted about this yesterday. All right,
does everybody know what the chef's hand is? The Italian

(40:55):
chef's hands. So you take all of your fingers, put
your put your hand out in fron of you, point
the fingers to the sky, put them all together, so
it almost creates a triangle. Your hand is bent, you're
like the Italian thing, like yeah, the say something like that, right,
and then wave in front of your face. Okay, so
we know that's a thing. So now take the hand,

(41:16):
turn its sideways so almost the fingers are pointing left
or right, I guess, depending on if you're a left,
you're alrighty and then almost like you're using the fingers
to pretend to be a puppet. And then make a
TikTok video where you wave that in front of you,
clinking your nails together the whole time, for the whole video.
And that's every woman on TikTok. And I've never seen

(41:38):
a woman do that in real life, usually younger women.
I have never seen a twenty something mural in real
life explaining something to me where she has this sideways
exaggerated Italian chef's hand.

Speaker 4 (41:54):
What is that?

Speaker 1 (41:56):
What do you think?

Speaker 2 (41:57):
A lot of it comes down to. And I'm the
same way when I have to make I'm very uncomfortable
when i have to make videos, and even when I'm
on Twitch, I'm very uncomfortable on camera, Like you're supposed
to look at the center of the camera as they
say like, look, I can't do it, Like yeah, I
just I'm so uncomfortable on camera. So I think when
they're on camera they do the Ricky Bobby thing where
they don't know what to do with their hands.

Speaker 1 (42:15):
I always doing the interview and he doesn't.

Speaker 2 (42:17):
Know and there's his hands are just coming up in
a frame and he has to put him down.

Speaker 1 (42:21):
But they use them to accentuate things, and it's just
and they always click their nails if they have the
big nails, which is also another thing. Anytime a woman
is like doing any video too, where she's gonna like
she has a drink or anything hard in her other hand,
like uh oh or Stanley cups, they'll click the nails.
I don't know if that's like a little uh but no,
the thing where it waves and it's so distracting that

(42:42):
once I see it, I stop listening to what you're saying.

Speaker 2 (42:46):
Yeah, same thing with me with a little microphone, the
tiny mic they're supposed to be in your collar, you idiot.

Speaker 1 (42:51):
Just clip it's got a clip on it. It should
have been a clue. It's a clue, like.

Speaker 2 (42:55):
I can understand if you are you know, you're eighteen nineteen,
you've never in front of a microphone before, and you're
trying to, like, you know, get your channel and you're
making your videos and you don't understand that you bought
a microphone and you hold in front of your face
because you're more on and you think that's how it works.
But if you're an elected official, a lawyer, you're seventy
years old, you know what that is. What are you doing?

Speaker 1 (43:13):
A guy who's done a thousand SAT hits in his
life with the lapel or boom mic positioned squarely and
probably both in most cases positioned around him, knows exactly
how it works. It makes no sense. Hey, Roj, you
like comedy?

Speaker 3 (43:29):
I do?

Speaker 1 (43:29):
Yes, you're okay? You big fan of female comedian Jamie Lofts?

Speaker 2 (43:33):
Then I never heard of that person.

Speaker 1 (43:36):
Oh man, Oh, apparently she's a big, big comedian deal.
In fact, we'll even we'll run you through some of
her stuff, prepared to laugh. But also the reason for
the season is she's taking down mensa. I guess because
it's just wait for this from the New York Times.

(43:57):
It's insane and it's next. Hey, everybody loves comedy on
a Friday, right, Janet? What's up?

Speaker 8 (44:05):
I'm just wanting to say, you know, the fact that
our elected representatives has zero faith on prayer could be
the good portion of what's.

Speaker 1 (44:15):
Wrong with America today, or at least the at least
the common sense not to insult people who partake in it,
even if.

Speaker 8 (44:25):
They do not. So exactly, this is issues if they
believe a little more on prayer than America and being
a little better shake.

Speaker 1 (44:33):
Yeah, well, at the very least, we'd be a little
closer to where we used to be, right because remember
that the Southern Democrats, you know, the faith was a
very much part of that, albeit their own version of it.
And now it's they're breaking up, breaking up churches with

(44:55):
with some of the crazy pastor decisions and these big meetings.

Speaker 8 (44:57):
So exactly, and the whole founding of America was based
on religion.

Speaker 7 (45:04):
Okay, you don't like it, but you don't have to
do that.

Speaker 1 (45:06):
You're not allowed to say that just because it was reference.

Speaker 8 (45:10):
Oh I am in America, fathers.

Speaker 1 (45:13):
Look at the Federalist papers. All right, thanks, she had
it for the call. Appreciated. Yeah, Janet pointing out a thing.
That's a thing. So uh So, anyway, so there's this
female comedian, Jamie Loftus, who quote infiltrated Mensa took some
MENSA test. I know she got into MENSA, and she

(45:36):
got into like their Facebook group, which, by the way,
a Facebook group today, Okay whatever, that seems very mensas
And basically she she's like doing all this stuff she's trying.
She pointed out that everyone in MENSA is a bunch
of right wing idiots, right, so she's just just crap

(46:00):
it on the whole program. I don't know if that's
the case or if that's just her Facebook group, but
I got to tell you, I think calling her a
comedian is definitely an interesting choice. So I'm reading this
article to figure out who this chick is. And I've
gone to Ross. You've gotten to a lot of comedy shows, right,

(46:20):
watched a lot of comedy as well, right, just over
the years. I love comedy shows. So you and I
have been to a comedy show.

Speaker 2 (46:25):
Together, Yeah, especially back in the day. Yeah, he used
to go.

Speaker 1 (46:27):
Yeah, you and I went to Charlie Good Nights with
Jason uh I remember who did we who do we
see down there?

Speaker 6 (46:33):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (46:33):
Jim Brewer? Right? Yeah, man, I've been to a ton
of comedy. Love going to comedy shows love comedy, and
I think I'm a little more accepting on the broad
definition of it.

Speaker 2 (46:43):
I'm sorry, I thought I thought it was Harlan Williams.

Speaker 1 (46:45):
It was it Harlan Williams. It might have been Harlan Williams.
Maybe Jim Brewer was another show I went to. But
but but the point is, like I love comedy. If
you canna do comedy, I don't even mind people who
are really good crowd work comics either. But I but like,
you gotta do some jokes. And a good example was

(47:06):
that chick from Australia not from Tasmania, right, who got
the Netflix special and we're like, oh, she's the next
big thing. And I remember watching it. I'm like, she's
gonna do a joke. There a joke coming. Well anyway,
this is kind of where Jamie Loftus is. And she's
more like David Blaine is to magic, she is to comedy.

(47:27):
You know what I mean? Do you understand what I
mean by that? Where it's not really magic, it's more
an endurance thing, but it's called magic. She does stunts
that are supposed to be funny, like this is supposed
to be funny. She's a you know, a little small
it's a small woman. She's twenty seven and she's known
for all right, so ross tell me you think this

(47:48):
is funny? Ready, all right? Ready, she would get naked
and then paint her body green and then pretend to
be Shrek but naked with boobs, and then raise money
for Planned parenthood. Are you laughing? Yeah? I no, oh,
no you should. But hold on, that's funny, right, that's us.

Speaker 2 (48:10):
They take the premise of like, hey, I'm gonna be
like an Indie Kaufman type performative, you know, sort of thing,
to like a different level where it's just not even
it's just weird now not even funny, you know.

Speaker 1 (48:19):
Okay, well, well hold on, hold on, hold on. This
one will get you, all right. So she also took
David Foster Wallace's thousand page novel called Infinite Jest, which
is a slog I've never made it through it and
then as a joke, Ready, she pulls one of the
pages out, she eats it like a potato chip, and

(48:40):
then she pulls another page out, and then she slurps
it into ribbons like spaghetti. And then then she pulls
some more pages out and she sticks them in a
blender with apples and then uses a turkey baster to
butt chug. The whole thing you're supposed to is where
you laugh the joke. Go ahead, go ahead.

Speaker 2 (49:04):
I mean you know, I'm trying to force it just
for the bit, but it's not happening.

Speaker 1 (49:13):
That's all. Yeah, man, that's uh, that's that's her. That's
her big, it's a big claim to fame. Shoving shredded
book and apple sauce in your in your prison wallet
in your bump occurred to me after we just did
that segment where I regaled you with this chicks humor
who infiltrated MENSA because uh, it's a bunch of uh,

(49:36):
I don't know, right, alt right or whatever up in there, which,
by the way, I have a question if the if
all the MENSA people are right leaning, which I wouldn't
even have predicted that because I don't know, isn't that
really an indictment of the left. You're all supposed to
be the really smart ones that if MENSA is just
a bunch of like Trump bros. Is like, that's not

(49:58):
a good look.

Speaker 2 (49:59):
I I go to the meetings every Wednesday, oh do
you Yeah? Yeah, for for about twenty years now, I see,
and no, it's not like as if we're crazy alt
right wingers or something. We're just normal people from nineteen
ninety five. It's that meme you've seen. It's true, it's
just gen xers. Yeah, we're just normal people.

Speaker 1 (50:17):
Yeah, yeah, don't worry. Would make you feel really old
coming up. Did you see the you see the PlayStation
thing the thread yesterday? I did not. Oh, oh, hang
on for that, all right. So she goes in, she's
infiltrating mensa and like here and then she goes, oh, yeah,
she goes in the chat group. It's everything from silly

(50:38):
fun board games and happy nerds to nasty alt right undercurrent.
She says she viscerally reacted when, as part of the
unmoderated official Facebook group, people were making fun and sending
memes making fun of Alexandria Casio Cortes. If you're in mensa,

(50:59):
that's be your national sport, right.

Speaker 2 (51:02):
You have a bunch of geniuses in this genius club,
and they happen. I think the dumbest woman in the
history of Congress is dumb, Like, I don't know, maybe
they're just pointing, you know, it's the obvious she.

Speaker 1 (51:11):
Berated Jamie Diamond over student loans, and he had to
explain to her after she wouldn't let him talk for
her whole five minutes that his bank and the other
banks haven't done student loans since Obama.

Speaker 2 (51:22):
They're very equivalent of calling water wet.

Speaker 1 (51:24):
You know what I mean? This isn't yeah, this is right,
This is a layup. She's scared of garbage disposals.

Speaker 2 (51:31):
But if everybody else in the genius group, right has
positions where they're making fun of you, maybe, but that's
what you're like, Oh, they're all dumb because they're maybe
you're the dumb one though, right, Yeah, you're offended by
it because they're calling your beliefs dumb. And it's a
group of genius people like you have to be a
genius again, a mensa. That's the point, right, It's a
genius club my understanding. So yeah, she says, Also, they

(51:52):
had quote bad faith, anti trans bathroom opinions, so she's like,
she's just another activist, leftist comedian. Oh, by the way,
this is the thing that I said wasn't set up.

Speaker 1 (52:03):
It dawned upon me only after we went to break
that I have an apple and now I don't know
if I should just eat it like a normal person,
where I kind of chop it up with my knife
and then just chomp it during the breaks, or if
I should pure it somehow and then insert it into
my butt.

Speaker 2 (52:19):
I mean, it depends. Do you want to be funny?

Speaker 1 (52:21):
Are you? I mean, I guess I'm not funny. I'm
thinking of just eating it like a normal person. But
you're right, that would not be the comedic way to go. No,
you got to you gotta turn it into baby food
and then get a turkey baster.

Speaker 2 (52:33):
And you know what, it's so weird, like the evolution
of comedy because you had somebody back in the day
who was funny, like a Bill Hicks, despite what you
think of his political beliefs.

Speaker 1 (52:40):
Right, he was, Yeah, you're funny, You're funny.

Speaker 2 (52:42):
He was a funny dude. There was one point where
I'm like, he's the funniest comic I've ever seen. Like,
I love Bill Hicks when I was younger, but now
my politics have evolved, so a lot of his issue,
like Pit's bits, I don't believe anymore. But when I
was a kid, when I was younger, he was very funny.
But he would do this thing where he takes like
serious issues, right, and he would talk about serious issues,
but he would have punchlines and jokes to go along
with them. And now it's evolved to the point where

(53:04):
they just do the serious issues, but there's no punchline.
But it's in a comedy club, right, what are we doing?
It's a comedy special. It says it right there on
the Netflix thing. If you type comedy spout there it is.
Just break out your bungos and your bongos and do
the drum circle thing like that's.

Speaker 1 (53:20):
What you're doing. Somebody will pick up on it. Yeah, no,
you no, it's it's a combination of that. And remember
that lunatic who the sorry not funny lunatic. I think
we saw that drop somewhere. Actually, I think I.

Speaker 2 (53:33):
Have it on my other b Yeah, the wote comedy stuff.

Speaker 1 (53:35):
Yeah, this guy's not even This dude's not even a comedian.
This was He would go to comedy clubs and if
they made a joke that quote punched down in any way,
shape or form, he would start screaming at the comedians
and then he just kind of fell off because I
don't know if you know this probably the comedy clubs like, yeah,
we're we're not gonna do that. We're not gonna do that.

(54:00):
Comedy clubs will generally throw you out. I don't get
me wrong. There's some woke ones in Portland. They have
a comedy club where you're not allowed to do jokes
that are outside of your own cultural sphere or something.
So that's I'm sure that's great. Every day that bit like,
you know, sorry, not funny. That would have been funny
if it was done like ironically right correctly, if it
was an Andy Kaufman esque Lenan's yeah, if.

Speaker 2 (54:22):
He was making fun of the people doing that, but
he was being one hundred percent serious. And dude, you're
in a comedy club.

Speaker 1 (54:27):
What are you doing?

Speaker 7 (54:29):
Right?

Speaker 1 (54:29):
Yeah, if only there was a way you didn't have
to hear these jokes. And it's why a lot of
comedy clubs went to no video policies, because remember there
was like and a lot of comedians would stop doing
college campuses and I and and by the way, they
ran the gamut. Larry the Cable Guy complained about it,
and Jerry Seinfeld complained about it. Some would argue they're

(54:52):
in two different spots comedically, I.

Speaker 2 (54:54):
Think David Dave Chappelle even has no cell phone.

Speaker 1 (54:57):
Poplay yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, because the trans stuff, he's
just like I'm out, I'm done, and he doesn't care.
He keeps leaning back into it.

Speaker 2 (55:06):
And a lot of special especially because a lot of
them in these comics. You know, you'll go out and
you'll test stuff out or and a lot of the
stuff is like when you first go up, like that's
exactly yeah, the bit isn't exactly formed. It's not going
to be where it is. So like you're testing stuff
out and you're seeing what's funny and what works and
what doesn't work, and eventually to come together to form
a full bit that you want to perform in front
of like a camera mm hm. And they'll take these

(55:27):
like clips and they'll take it out of context and
be like look what he said, and then suddenly you're
on you know, they're trying to cancel you again.

Speaker 1 (55:32):
I mean, and I remember when I was in Minneapolis,
I would go to uh Actme Comedy Club a lot
because we had a relationship with them. I go down there,
I knew the guy I didn't have to pay to
get in. Yeah, that's right, that happened because we put
the comics on the air. But uh, I go down there,
and I especially loved when people just be rolling in

(55:53):
to test stuff out, dude, And it was funny because
if you're there enough and he realized that they're coming in,
they're working material in there, and you hear it in
its unfinished form, and maybe it's not that funny, and
then maybe you see them three months later when they're
actually like, you know, headlining there and they got it
worked out and now it's hilarious. But that's the process.

(56:14):
So when you got people filming in bad faith in
the middle of that, it's just death. Just death to comedy, man.
So I want to think that's also part of the
the uh skid we steered out of. But I don't know.
Is my victim ready ross?

Speaker 6 (56:31):
Do we know.

Speaker 1 (56:33):
Mister weatherguy, poor Ray coming into work today, Poor Dallas
Cowboys fan Ray, Poor Squeeze Box Friday raced it. Oh
the moment, he's ready because we have so much ground
to cover. I need to know. And by the way,
the leading theory I saw on social media is he's
gonna try to play a Taylor Swift song. Do you

(56:54):
know what he's gonna play? I had no idea.

Speaker 2 (56:57):
I know, I have no idea.

Speaker 1 (57:00):
I don't know how I feel about that. Oh I
saw this on Twitter and then one of our listeners
actually messaged me this morning, and I guess it's on
the ESPN. I don't have I don't do fantasy football
on ESPN. I only do one league anymore, and it's
my legacy league, franchise league. Like it's been going on
for too long. But apparently I'm not letting people use

(57:23):
Taylor Swift or parts of her name and team names
over on ESPN. So cowards anyway, raced Agic, are you there, sir, Yes, Sarah,
good morning. No, it's not. It's not a good it's not.
I have to now.

Speaker 8 (57:39):
I have to.

Speaker 1 (57:39):
My poor rookie quarterback has to deal with Mike Parsons
twice this year. That's what happened. And by the way,
your fan base is not doing well. I did that
weird cope thing where I tuned into the sports talk
radio and Dallas yesterday after that happened, and basically Jerry
they're calling him Jerry Biden and they're making memes of
him falling on the stairs going out the Air Force one.

(58:02):
But the logo is going to replaced with the Cowboys star.
So see, I'll put him.

Speaker 9 (58:06):
On the other side of the fence if Colin Cowhard
at the beginning of all this had a great kind
of segment on him being over rader, and I think
he is. I think a lot of coverage sacks, a
lot of third and long sacks, getting sacks and situations
where you would expect somebody to get sacks. You know
what surprised me.

Speaker 1 (58:24):
And twelve twelve sacks in four of his first five
years is I mean, that's still but they're all I
just I think we're better off. I guess you're right.
I don't need to look. I don't know if JJ
McCarthy can throw. I know he can't throw with his
head detached, So I don't need that. No, definitely don't

(58:47):
need that. But I will say this, if you really
wanted to get rid of him, and he'd got hrid
of him in March, you know this, he would have
got in, he would have got more draft picks, he
would have got more stuff. Maybe maybe not. How about that?
Was it like four is it? Forty two million? Forty seven?
Forty seven is cheesez? I just no, no, I'm sorry,

(59:07):
forty eight. Mahomes is forty seven.

Speaker 2 (59:10):
Oh yeah, it's crazy. He's making more than Mahomes. He's
making more than Mahomes.

Speaker 9 (59:14):
Well, I'll say, at the end of five years, I
don't think the Green Bay Packers win one Super Bowl.
So what's it going to get you?

Speaker 4 (59:20):
Right?

Speaker 1 (59:21):
Four years? You guys want to give him five with
a six option without his agent. That whole the whole
thing with Jones down. There's a crazy story, man.

Speaker 6 (59:28):
Yes, it is what it is.

Speaker 1 (59:30):
The meat this Yeah right, I'm gonna have to sue
for emotional distress the NFL.

Speaker 2 (59:35):
We'll talk about.

Speaker 1 (59:36):
This some other time. Not happy, right, what you got
for us, mister squeezebox guy. Let's do the weather first, though, Yeah,
I mean great weather.

Speaker 9 (59:44):
Next day is going to be beautiful, big college football aekend,
some kind of ho hummers. Last night really didn't see
much that excited me. But this weekend we'll get it going.

Speaker 1 (59:55):
Load of mid eighties.

Speaker 9 (59:56):
Next few days is gonna be absolutely beautiful. Still in
the mountain Sunday, maybe a shower, thunder shower, no widespread rainfall,
but there's even a chance some could sneak into parts
of the Triad. But either way, pleasant days, beautiful nights.
We're probably between eighty and upper seventies. Labor Day, even
on Tuesday, and even next week looks gorgeous. Uh, don't

(01:00:17):
really see too much changes. Look kind of easy. Over
the next several days. Tropics are quiet. We keep this
northwest flow and we keep these fronts continuing to come south,
which we are doing. And we'll keep the tropics quiet
at least for the foreseeable future. And don't call it
ho home and stay only.

Speaker 1 (01:00:33):
Look, they had to cover fourteen, they had it, and
then all the like, oh you see you can score ten.
What are we gonna do? Yeah, well, I mean there's
no ho Home there.

Speaker 9 (01:00:44):
I didn't really get into that.

Speaker 1 (01:00:46):
So all right, let's get to let's get to the
real thing, because we don't even know what you're gonna play.
There are some theories though. Here the theory is, yeah,
sure that you're gonna play Taylor Swift song. No, you
know it's a good idea though, No, it's not a
good idea. All right, No, it's not that. All right,
get it and we'll have to guess that. I'm assuming
so before you play. Yeah, it's all I has to

(01:01:09):
do with.

Speaker 9 (01:01:12):
Not generally just football, but since it's football season, a
sports kind of related so I kind of went with
kind of a sports theme kind of song. It's not
a it's not a alma mater, it's not a fight
song or anything like that, but something kind of related
to it.

Speaker 1 (01:01:27):
So I do apologize.

Speaker 9 (01:01:29):
I mean, you can't get all the music for free online,
so you only get up to a certain point, so
you'll get into at least the first verse of the chorus.

Speaker 1 (01:01:36):
But I think you can figure it out even before that.
So okay, y'all said, all right, here we go, All right,
here we go.

Speaker 2 (01:01:44):
Hmm, that's clean.

Speaker 1 (01:01:51):
Yeah. Wait, that is so well done, dude, Yeah in
the grid you got it. Yeah, then it's queen.

Speaker 6 (01:02:13):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:02:13):
Yeah, we picked that up pretty quick. That was an
easy one, wasn't it. That was great. That was well done.

Speaker 2 (01:02:20):
So yeah, you know so well. I mean it was
like two notes.

Speaker 1 (01:02:23):
Really, I know that.

Speaker 6 (01:02:27):
Best.

Speaker 9 (01:02:27):
Yeah, they're telling me over in Ashville. So we're getting better.
I just got to practice a little more. We're getting
a little bit, you know, a little less with the fingers,
are getting a little more nimble.

Speaker 1 (01:02:36):
So to get better and better, you bring that bad
boy to the tailgate when you go to Clemson. I don't,
but you know, that's a great idea. Come on, you
have to. Well we're going today, We're going tomorrow and
not tailgating. It's only two of us. But you know,
for the next time. I think that's a great idea.
That's fabulous. Yeah, good idea of the internet.

Speaker 9 (01:02:57):
Especially since we park our parking spots traditionally the front
yard of a frat house.

Speaker 1 (01:03:02):
Imagine how that would go? Ye, perfect, got that, I'll
figure it out. Yeah, all right, well, thank you guys, sir. Yeah, problem,
we're talk in an hour. Okay, there you go. Race
stage of killing it with the Queen. Thank god it
was a Taylor Swift song. I saw some people surmising
that and glad you were wrong. Seven forty eight hang

(01:03:24):
lots to get into the light rail murder in Charlotte,
of course, all the insanity from Minneapolis. We'll pick his
brain on that. Do you guys remember the video up
in Alaska of the F thirty five that crashed. Thankfully
the pilot able to eject. And I don't know what

(01:03:44):
it happened earlier this year, I want to say January
or February. I think it was January, end of January.
I've ever seen the video. You know, it's pretty crazy. Clearly,
those things are kind of expensive and it's uh. But
they had mentioned mechanical issues. But what was even crazier
as I'm reading this follow up story and they're talking

(01:04:05):
about the what happened that day? So it was an
F thirty five and according to the released information, now
a report, they put out a over report on this,
so now the media snapped it up. The F thirty
five pilot was experiencing multiple issues. Let's see here, there

(01:04:26):
was a hydraulic line in the nose of the main
landing gear that had become problematic. I did not deploy
as needed they were. They attempted to retract the landing gear,
they weren't able to do so. And then there was
some other issue with something on the wing, and so
what do you do in that situation? You know, if

(01:04:46):
your plane's in trou I've literally been in a plane
that had to make an emergency landing, right, I've talked
about that, but I've been in a small plane where
they're engine issues too. And with a small plane, if
you got glideslope and you've got a place to land
even on dirt like this plane could. It was a serious,
not a problem, and we just boop popped down. That
was the end of that. A little different in F

(01:05:07):
thirty five. And but what's funny is they said that
the pilot spent fifty minutes on a uh A customer
support call, a conference call with engineers, not just engineers
from the Air Force, engineers from UH is it bow?
Who is it bullying? Who woop produces the F thirty five? Yeah,
because they got they got civilian contractors. But I'm just

(01:05:28):
wondering if if you're an F thirty five pilot and
your planes all if you're Maverick and the thing's all
jacked up, does your is your customer support experience like mine?
If I call because my TV is not working, how
does like do you get a guy who claims his
name is Bill but clearly has an accent? Does he
tell you to turn the jet on and then turn
turn it off and then turn it on again? Like,

(01:05:50):
I just want to know that my customer support experience
is the same, because eventually, after fifty minutes they went, uh,
I'm just going to eject it was Lockheed Martin. By
the way, I'm just gonna eject and then we'll blow
listening to Smitherings, which is what happened as the jet
was uncontrollable. But it's like everybody's got their support system.

(01:06:16):
If you work for a company, nobody probably likes it
and they we share common frustrations. I just don't know
if that if that's how it works when your Goose
CaCO Day Radio program, Friday Edition, extra special Friday Edition
for two reasons. One, college football's back, even though it
was kind of back last week, although we opened in
another country stupid h and we got a three day weekend.

(01:06:39):
But before we get there, we got to digest all
the insanity from this week. Our radio buddy to the
South Peat calendar, he's here to help.

Speaker 7 (01:06:46):
Us do that.

Speaker 1 (01:06:46):
How you doing, sir, I'm doing okay.

Speaker 7 (01:06:49):
How are you?

Speaker 1 (01:06:50):
Oh? Pretty good? H I get all you get all
excited about college football. Don't know if I've ever rested con.

Speaker 7 (01:06:57):
I'm not a college football fan.

Speaker 1 (01:07:00):
You know, app State kind of they have a game,
it's gonna be down your way. They play Bank of America.
So that's a bunch bunch of friends that are headed
down for that. So that's exciting. I hope they don't
take the light rail my small, petite, kind of hot
Ukrainian friends. If only there had been some signs that

(01:07:20):
maybe this guy should be milling around the the light
rail station there. So can you imagine.

Speaker 7 (01:07:27):
Multiple arrests over decades?

Speaker 1 (01:07:29):
Yeah, yeah, can you imagine that? And by the way,
that's the worst Charlotte hornets tattoo I've ever seen across
his neck. He should be in jail just for that.
But imagine that. You're like, all right, gotta get out
of the Ukraine. Things getting a little dicey here think
I'll go to Charlotte. That should be safe and here
we be. So whose failure was this, I guess is

(01:07:51):
the question?

Speaker 7 (01:07:52):
Well, if you listen to or read the statement from
the mayor vy Lyles, who running for reelection. We are
in the middle of the municipal election season. If you
listen to her, it's, you know, the system that failed
this guy, the attacker who we just got new details.

(01:08:14):
He has now been charged in the murder of Arena Zarutska.
And she was a twenty three year old Ukrainian refugee.
She her mom and I think two siblings. They were relocated,
they were settled here in Charlotte under a refugee program,
and she was on the light rail line Friday evening

(01:08:35):
at about nine fifty five. She's riding the train through
South End, which is like the hot spot for the
younger you know, twenty somethings and such, and there's a
lot of bars and restaurants. And this was the whole
point of the light rail system was to you know,
center development around the light rail line twenty five years

(01:08:58):
ago when this plan was originally developed. And by the way,
they're also asking us to raise our sales tax by
another penny in order to fund expansion of the mass
transit system with a light rail line. Yeah, so that
campaign is underway right now. So this is obviously very
bad timing for the local officials who are trying to

(01:09:22):
convince everybody that expansion of the system is worthwhile and
worth the additional tax.

Speaker 1 (01:09:28):
And profit every year. Currently, what's it's how much? Probably
making noodles? Right?

Speaker 7 (01:09:34):
Oh yeah, the mass transit system. It's actually no, it's
a It runs at a deficit. It loses money well,
and part of that is also and it ties into
this story, which is that the system was built with
no fare turnstiles, so it's just the KEYOSF that you

(01:09:56):
walk up to and you, you know, you touch the
screen and you get a little ticket. And then you
would think that they would have somebody walking through the train,
you know, very religiously getting right, but they don't really
even do that. So it's kind of an honor system.
And this may surprise you to learn, but a lot
of people do not pay to ride the train, and

(01:10:18):
that's how and so you end up with a lot
of people who may have mental issues and criminal backgrounds
and such that ride the trains and cause problems like
this attacker did. He got on the train a couple
minutes later, she gets on the train and they sit
like nearby for about four and a half minutes. He

(01:10:41):
then unfolds a knife from his pocket and just stands
up and stabs her in the throat three times and
then gets off the train. And this is a man
who police had had interactions with. He was as I
see some media reporting him in as unhoused. He was kicked.

Speaker 1 (01:11:03):
That was on that list. Do you remember the list
from last week where they're like, hey, dem were does
dem think tanks like stop using these terms because you
look insane?

Speaker 7 (01:11:11):
That so I know, I know, but the media is
still using it, so they have not gotten the message
or the memo I guess at this point. But it
that's you know, sidebard, that's like that is it's a proof.
That's a piece of evidence there of how captured media
is by whatever dictates the left gives them regarding uh,

(01:11:33):
you know, narratives and vocabulary. You know, it's just it's
like gender affirming care. You can only use these words
because the left dictates them to be the only acceptable words,
and the media just goes along with that, reshaping the
vocabulary in order to control the discussion. So, uh, this guy, uh,
the Attacker's got his first appearance in court today. He

(01:11:58):
was according to his mom, Uh, they had to kick
him out of the house. He had gotten out of
prison after doing like five years for I believe in
armed robbery or burglary, and he and so when he
came back, he became very aggressive and he was acting crazy,
and so they had to kick him out of the house.
He then is at the hospital he gets involuntarily committed

(01:12:21):
and then uh at one point. His most recent arrest
where he was in court just last month for was
when he he was outside of the hospital and the
police show up after a call from the hospital that
he was acting, you know, weird, and he told the
cops that somebody had put man made material into him

(01:12:42):
that controls how he walks and when he walks and
talks and yeah, yeah, And the cops were like, well,
that sounds like a medical issue and we're not here
for that. So he became angry, so he called nine
one one right in front of the cops and they
were like, you're misusing Yeah, you're misusing the nine one
one system. So they put him under arrest and he

(01:13:02):
was ordered to undergo a psyche evaluation, but then released
on his own personal recognizance.

Speaker 1 (01:13:08):
Did did they Did they get the black oil out
of him? Do we know?

Speaker 7 (01:13:11):
Or that was not in any of the reporting or
any of the affidavits or any of the police reports.

Speaker 1 (01:13:19):
So I know, I'm not allowed to notice patterns here
for anything in the news cycle this week. But you
mentioned he lived with his family well into his twenties.
It's weird because I was just reading that this demon
up in Minnesota decided to shoot up the Catholic school.
Also continue to live with their parents, who are now
not cooperating currently with the investigators and the journalistic and

(01:13:45):
political malpractice. I got to tell you, man, when I
worked up Minneapolis, the amount of time since I've left
there where Minneapolis has become the center of the news cycle.
Obviously the George Floyd riots, they had some subsequent stuff.
Catholic Church for you know, for a market that's not
much bigger than Charlotte, really it really fights out of

(01:14:07):
its weight class on getting cameras on it and then
getting the media to show up and do things like,
you know, dishonest things like this from ABC News yesterday.

Speaker 3 (01:14:17):
Twenty three year old Robin Westman was able to leave
what police called a video manifesto that they're now going
through to try and establish motive. We've also been going
through it and can tell you there are crude diagrams
of the church. There are also photos of the weapons,
and they include all sorts of writings, the names of

(01:14:39):
past mass shooters, criticism of Israel, the name of President
Trump written on.

Speaker 1 (01:14:45):
All right, we're just gonna stop that right there. That
was Yeah, they just fired Terry Moran for being a
partisan shill for ABC. This is the guy they replace
him with. That's awful, dude, likes Trump signed his gun.
Yeah here to make it.

Speaker 7 (01:15:03):
Sound like, yeah, it makes it sound like he was
it's an homage to Trump that he's a Trump supporter,
when in fact it said kill Donald Trump, which is
I think a pretty important Wait just once.

Speaker 1 (01:15:15):
Also, yeah, he also wrote it on the optics anyway, Yeah, yeah,
that is an important component. Uh do you find it
interesting that so many in the media were using the
he pronouns though they almost.

Speaker 7 (01:15:29):
I did well, And so this is this is kind
of the you know, the control of the vocabulary once again.
But in this instance, it's funny to watch the media
scramble to honor the you know, the murderer's wishes to
be called the he or she. But now we're not
we're not really sure what his wishes were because apparently

(01:15:51):
some of the writings of it he regrets going through
the transition and he was now identifying as a man again.
And so now it's got the media all scrambled because,
oh my gosh, how do we honor his pronouns after
he murdered two children and tried to murder dozens more.
And it's one of these things like I don't ever
name these people. I don't give them. As you just

(01:16:14):
heard in that clip, they worship these other mass shooters
and they study them and they have they compare their
plans and they're like, oh, I could have gotten more
depths in all of this.

Speaker 1 (01:16:25):
And so I don't girl down in Morrisville did that.
The little redheaded girl wasn't that her thing? She was
obsessed with the shooter from Parkland.

Speaker 7 (01:16:33):
Yeah, yeah, they all they all do it. All of
these school shooters all do it. It's the same pattern.
And again, I don't think you can live in your
parents' home and nobody in that house be aware of
what's going on. Now, because I understand it. The mom
and dad had split. The mom was down in Florida,

(01:16:54):
I believe. So I don't know who was living with
this hacker. But uh, you can't tell me that they
did not know, because now we're hearing stories from former classmates.

Speaker 1 (01:17:08):
Shooter the audio real quick. When you see something like erratic,
it doesn't leave your mind.

Speaker 7 (01:17:13):
So he would.

Speaker 3 (01:17:17):
Put up his hand and say, like, praise Hitler.

Speaker 1 (01:17:20):
That's because that's normal, right, that's normal when you and
I were in school, obviously.

Speaker 7 (01:17:24):
Yeah, yeah, that and the uh, you know, making references
to killing people and such and so yeah, people knew.
People knew, Like when somebody is mentally deranged for a
long period of time, people know, people around him in
his world know this. And you never hear in these
types of situations people coming out and saying, oh, he

(01:17:46):
was completely normal and he just snapped or something. No,
it's always like, yeah, we always kind of knew there
was something a little weird about that guy.

Speaker 1 (01:17:53):
You know, So you know, Yeah, what I think, what
I'm hearing from you, Pete, is what we need to do,
is we need to affirm more right, Yeah.

Speaker 7 (01:18:03):
Yeah, maybe yeah, maybe juicing up mentally unstable people who
think that they are something they are not. Maybe juicing
them with a whole bunch of synthetic hormones is not
the best course of treatment. Just going to throw that there.
If we want to have a conversation about whether we
can pray or not, whether they want to ban the
guns or not, I kind of feel like we should

(01:18:25):
also then be allowed to talk about whether or not
it's a good idea to be juicing these people with
with the with the drugs.

Speaker 1 (01:18:33):
Well, you juice them and you put them because it's
and you pointed out we talked about it earlier on
the show where this guy is sitting there and he goes,
I kept my long hair only because it's the last thing,
and basically he felt stuck, right, and and you're and
so now you have somebody who historically the way this
was treated, the way that people treated this is a

(01:18:55):
mental condition. It tended to have two or three cold
mental morbidities, so to speak with it, and then those
would be treated and uh, and they had a suicide
rate that was on par with Jews and occupied Germany, Okay,
which is a crazy stat And then you decided we're
gonna go the affirmation route and not the suicide rate

(01:19:17):
never went down. And now you have a bunch of
these people who wound up and the question is how
many are in this situation. I don't know how far
he got with everything, Like I don't know surgery's happened.

Speaker 7 (01:19:30):
But no surgeries did not. That's what I've seen is
that they did not. And there was some lamenting on
his part that he wanted that, but I don't know.
I don't know what the chronology of that was.

Speaker 1 (01:19:41):
But but how many, how many people may find because
once you feel you're trapped and there's no and it
doesn't have to be in a transgender situation. This is
a hallmark of people who act out violently. You feel,
you feel trapped, there's nothing left to live for, there's
nothing you can do. Everyone around hash has either abandoned
you or tricked you, or part of your problems, and

(01:20:02):
you start to self and then that's what ramps people up.
And this one happens to center around his gender identity,
but it's we know this to be problematic in every
other circumstance, and yet we won't talk about it here.

Speaker 7 (01:20:16):
Well, and then you know, you layer in there, and
you layer in there. The narratives, right, which is manifesto
videos were just jam packed with these these leftist narratives.
And look, I understand, crazy people are going to, you know,
layer in whatever craziness they are going to layer in

(01:20:37):
because they're not rational and sane. However, like the problem
for the left is that the more this happens, the
more it becomes obvious that the layering is occurring from
these these leftist talking points and ideologies, it's all being
fused in. I mean, we talked before about the Zizians,
remember those guys like this, The rise of this, the

(01:20:59):
trant if segment. It is real, Yeah, it is real.

Speaker 1 (01:21:04):
It's a murder cult. And then it's like, why that
doesn't get more presses beyond me after they murdered the
border agent up there and the other incidents.

Speaker 7 (01:21:12):
But well, you know why it's not getting a lot
of coverage.

Speaker 1 (01:21:15):
Why I'm saying so so again, this is this is
what this kills me. We don't have a minute and
a half. This goes all the way back to Sarah
Palin targeting District's thing, right, the whole narrative beat down.
And yet it is so abundantly clear that everything they've
ever complained about is actively being done every day and
is juicing up, as you say, these individuals to the

(01:21:38):
point where they that that adds to it. Gavin Newsom
yesterday said he doesn't think twenty eight twenty eight elections
are going to happen. You don't think that's going to
somebody who feels that they're being stymied right now that
that might push them over an edge.

Speaker 7 (01:21:52):
Yeah. Yeah, the constant catastrophism that's being spread by what
you would you know, ordinary really think, are you know,
legitimate people, credible people, government officials and they're screaming their
heads off and everything is the end of the world.
And for people who are on that edge, they're going
to hear this as affirmation of their paranoia, and they

(01:22:16):
are then going to, like you were saying, they're going
to act out because they feel trapped. They feel there's
nothing else to live for, because the planet's going to die,
or we're all going to die, or Trump's going to
kill them or something, and they're you know, the Left
does not take any responsibility for ratcheting down some of
this rhetoric.

Speaker 1 (01:22:33):
What a happy Friday this was. Unfortunately, we'll have to
stop cheering people up here.

Speaker 7 (01:22:37):
Yeah, well my work is done, out of time, so.

Speaker 1 (01:22:40):
Yes, thank you for mister ray of sunshine. We'll chat
next week. Okay, have a good weekend.

Speaker 7 (01:22:47):
Okay, yes, yes, happy labor to you.

Speaker 1 (01:22:50):
Yes, comrad, all right, we'll be back. An Minneapolis shooter dude,
he had a job. He had recently parted ways with
his employer because he wouldn't show up. I was irresponsible,
really wouldn't do anything, and he was at work and
did not take it. Well. The job is very interesting,

(01:23:12):
you're ready. He worked at a pot dispensary. How lazy
do you have to be to get fired working at
a pot dispensary, right, Because I would assume there's a
certain amount of acceptable sloth among the higher ease. I'm

(01:23:35):
not necessarily knocking on people if that's their gig. And
I'm sure there's fine employees that work one of these
fine you know, drug acquisition centers. But like the bar
for being slow and lethargic and lazy has to be
in hell at that particular job.

Speaker 6 (01:23:54):
Right?

Speaker 1 (01:23:55):
Am I wrong?

Speaker 7 (01:23:56):
Here?

Speaker 1 (01:23:57):
Ross stereotype in your mind? What you must assume? I'm
assuming you haven't been into a pot dispensary yet, one
of these legal pot dispensary I have not. What would
you assume the person's gonna look like in there?

Speaker 3 (01:24:10):
Uh?

Speaker 2 (01:24:11):
Sort of like the kids that played Hackey Sack outside
the school in the nineties, lots of jenko gm like
you're gonna do like a fish concert.

Speaker 1 (01:24:18):
They're probably funny, Yeah sure, yeah, yeah, but I don't
they're not you know, they're not snapping too.

Speaker 2 (01:24:25):
How lazy do you have to be?

Speaker 1 (01:24:26):
Right to get fire from a pot dispensary? Apparently you
also said crazy stuff, but they didn't elaborate. But it's
like everyone who interacted with this dude, is like that
guy's gonna shoot something up.

Speaker 2 (01:24:38):
Like I would also expect them like there to say
some crazy stuff like out there left field funny. So
not only he's like too lazy to work at the
pot dispensary, but also he's too crazy to work at
the pot dispensary.

Speaker 1 (01:24:47):
No, no, but that's not the crazy stuff they say,
stuff like I can taste colors.

Speaker 2 (01:24:51):
Yeah, right, like Snosberry tastes like snosberry. Seah, I get correct. Yeah,
they know the edibles kicked in here we go. That's
different that's ever been around somebody on edibles. They're not
threatening to shoot a school up. They're probably giggling.

Speaker 1 (01:25:09):
Or in the case of somebody I golf with one time,
not golfing well but not caring, not at all. So yeah,
they're not plotting the murder of children at Catholic mass
So if they did, don't take any more of those edibles.
But yeah, man, just the more info that comes churning out,

(01:25:32):
just crazier this whole thing gets. And then and I
point this out because it's like you see stuff like this,
and we kind of had a little bit of that
conversation with Pete. It's like, at what point you gotta
go This person I interact with is probably gonna do
something horrible, And then I have to reflect in my life,

(01:25:54):
do I have somebody around me who says this stuff?
Because I have to assume that the human part of
me to assume that we get into like we get
mental blinders because we know somebody and maybe we don't
pick up on this. But I'm sorry, I've never hung
out with somebody, like going back to high school, like
none of my friends would randomly stick their hand in

(01:26:16):
the air and talk and say praise Hitler. And we
were smart asses, don't get me wrong, but like that
would have been oh no, there's no, no no.

Speaker 2 (01:26:30):
When I took German in high school. German in high school,
so it was like sixth or seventh grade, there was
a kid his name was Greg, and he was sort
of like the class clown. And the teacher her name
was frau Berch, and she talked like evrow Bach, like
you know, yeah, like an angry, old fat German woman.

(01:26:50):
And so every time she would turn around, he would
get up and do the sighail to her, and then
he would he would sit down. That's the only time
I ever saw something like that in high school.

Speaker 1 (01:26:59):
Like ever he was doing it, Like I'm not saying
it's okay, I'm just the protextualizing. I you could make
an argument there. This sounds like this dude's sitting in
math class, like what's two plus two? And it's like
praise Hitler, Oh my god?

Speaker 7 (01:27:14):
What?

Speaker 1 (01:27:16):
Yeah?

Speaker 7 (01:27:16):
No.

Speaker 1 (01:27:17):
But also he made his coworkers so uncomfortable that you
don't work there no more, Like it sounds like they
were willing to overlook the laziness, which is kind of funny,
but but no, just the just the whole, like he
gave everyone the the creepy crawleys man, Like, at what

(01:27:37):
point do you go? Not to quote jet at Paulitano,
but but when do you see something and say something?

Speaker 2 (01:27:43):
You know, I'm so happy that I don't know this
guy's name, believe it or not, I have no idea
what his name is every and and I think that's
a good thing because every time I scroll across it
on social media or Twitter or whatever, it always says
Minnesota shooter.

Speaker 1 (01:27:56):
And I like that.

Speaker 2 (01:27:57):
I like that because that's different than what we used
to see. I'm not seeing his name everywhere I don't
know his name, and I don't want to know it.

Speaker 1 (01:28:02):
Yeah, yeah, I remember the one name, but it changes
something that sounds kind of the same, but I don't
remember what they are, and I'm okay with that. Here's
something else. A pothead will tell you your consciousness can
jump through time, so gut feelings are memories from the future. Okay,
pothead says that to you, you're finding now you're going

(01:28:24):
to discuss. But in this case it's actual scientists. I
guess so. And it's an article in Popular Mechanics, which
I guess. I don't know the state of popular mechanics,
but I don't remember this stuff. So basically, you have
some neuroscientists or name is Julia Mossbridge, doctor Mossbridge, who

(01:28:46):
is proffering the idea that when you have a gut
feeling or like inherently you know, spidy sense. I guess
if you want to call it, it's not because you're psychic.
It's because you're conscious. Tiousness can time travel, and it's
already seen it, and now you just have like these
inherent memories of the thing that's already happened. I don't

(01:29:09):
know if I'm buying that.

Speaker 6 (01:29:13):
Ross.

Speaker 1 (01:29:13):
You ever had like a super gut feeling that kept
you from doing something or harm or what. I've seen
a lot of stories where people like some told them
to drive somewhere and they did, and if they hadn't,
this thing would have happened, or this thing was caused,
or it didn't happen as a result, or it has happened.

Speaker 2 (01:29:29):
I always tend to listen to that voice too.

Speaker 1 (01:29:34):
I'm just I said, definitely a new take on it.
Did not expect that from popular mechanics, though, and they
go through a bunch of examples of it right there.
Far from carnival fortune tellers who's clairvoyance comes from glancing
at their customer social media accounts in a haze of incense.
Psychologists or neuroscientist's been trying to figure out what is

(01:29:55):
exactly behind precognition. Could I profer another argument here, because
sometimes I see this, and let me give you an example.
It's like, I don't know, I just have this feeling
we shouldn't go downtown because it might be dangerous tonight,
and then you know, maybe there's a shooting at all
the bars or whatever. Now are you pre cog or

(01:30:16):
are you recognizing that there's been an uptick. And I'm
not picking on any municipality. It was just go generic here.
Or are you subconsciously just factory doing math in your
head because you've ingested even if you didn't realize it
headlines while he's doom scrolling Twitter and glancing at the
website for the local news stations, how there's been an

(01:30:36):
uptick in everyone when the bars get out shooting at
each other. Did you have a pre cog or did
you notice I hate to say it like this because
the internet is what it is right now, or did
you notice patterns? I feel like maybe that's the middle
ground here. So yeah, you made the right call. But

(01:31:01):
maybe he made the right call just because a combination
of coincidence and also the fact that of the last
twenty weekends, ten of them have had a shooting, so
you had a fifty to fifty chance anyway, even if
he didn't realize it. I don't know what the answer is,
but did not expect to see that in the popular mechanics,
not at all? And then I love this story real quick.

(01:31:25):
Let me just jam this in here so we have
a Florida man, I'm not gonna do the song because
you actually didn't do anything wrong. Per se. A man
in Florida detained a burglary suspect, which isn't really that
newsworthy until you find out that he did it wearing
Batman pajamas and he thinks that the Batman pajamas gave

(01:31:49):
him the confidence to do it. Is that how that works? Ross?
Did you ever have Batman pjs and then go fight
the darker elements of society?

Speaker 5 (01:32:00):
No?

Speaker 1 (01:32:01):
Oh, okay, but if he did, maybe you would have
been a, oh yeah, think about that brave man. Yeah,
I mean, I don't know any pajamas that would make
me brave er.

Speaker 2 (01:32:11):
I was living in Atlanta, mm hmm, and my best
friend from Schenectady came to visit. His name was Phil,
and he still lives like a block away from my mom. Okay,
so we're sitting in the living room. It's me, Marky,
my roommate Michael, who's housing with a bulldoze. One day, yeah,
and you know, Phil goes in the bathroom and he
comes out and he is head to toe in a Batman.

Speaker 1 (01:32:34):
Outfit, not pajamas.

Speaker 2 (01:32:36):
The outfit not pajamas, like the actual like costume, like
a very expensive costume. He sits down, watches the duration
of whatever movie we were watching, never says a word
about it, and then that that was the end of
the night.

Speaker 1 (01:32:49):
Like that, Well, how did you know it was Phil?

Speaker 2 (01:32:51):
It might have been Batman.

Speaker 1 (01:32:52):
We don't know. Yeah, well maybe Phil is Batman. You
don't know.

Speaker 2 (01:32:56):
But if you want to have any sort of idea
of what my friendship was like, or like your best
friend girl up there you go. Right, that's it, right there,
he's like, what's he doing? He's Batman? I mean, I
don't know why you're making a big deal out of it.
He's dressed like Batman.

Speaker 1 (01:33:09):
So I guess if you want an extra super secure
your house in addition to the arsenal or whatever you have,
get some Batman pjs. That's all you need. Raced Agent,
get some Batman pjs. It gives you confidence to fight burglars. Robin, Yeah,
thats what they were called. How did you How did

(01:33:29):
you get stuck with Robin under ruge? No, I don't know.

Speaker 7 (01:33:32):
You know.

Speaker 1 (01:33:32):
Mobert's not the shopping No, not much.

Speaker 4 (01:33:36):
The Hulk.

Speaker 9 (01:33:37):
I did have the Hulk too, though, I think, okay,
well that's kind of a a pro variation.

Speaker 1 (01:33:42):
Yeah, it's kind of a variation, but so Hulk would
work for me. Very strange days. Good on this guy
subduing his would be Burglar because he Batman. All right,
is it good Burglar fighting? Yes?

Speaker 9 (01:33:56):
Absolutely, not much train to talk about if there is
for the weekend you're traveling to the mountains. There are
some chances on Sunday may sneak into the try it,
but I really think everybody's going to have mainly dry weather.
Temperatures are going to be in the upper seventies to
low eighties on average after today Today we actually sneak
into the mid eighties, eighty five, eighty four around the Triangle.

(01:34:16):
Really no complaints through Monday, maybe even longer. Over Night
loads will be pleasant. Really going to start helping with
the fall color. A great weekend coming up. Plenty of
dry weather expected and not much going on even in
the tropics, so even when.

Speaker 1 (01:34:27):
We get back next week.

Speaker 9 (01:34:30):
Yeah, we've been talking about more sunshine and very little
activity in the tropic Atlantic as we get into the
peak month September. But late September and the month of
October two can't be busy, so we're not going to
completely shut it down. In the tropical Atlantic.

Speaker 1 (01:34:43):
All right, well, thank you sir, have a wonderful long weekend.
We'll talk next week, all right, see all right, and
we'll come back. Jeff Bellinger actually already on VACA. It's
Denise Pelagreni. She joins us next from Bloomberg. Hang on, yeah,
Jeff Flake took a day off early. Probably you uh,
probably to more in the Parsons trade. Oh no, that's

(01:35:04):
just me because he plays for the Packers. Now we've
got to plane twice, okay, all right, yeah, not pleased
to see that. And I thought, really, if anyone was
gonna have a bad day in the NFL yesterday, it
was just gonna be ross with the new Bills uniform
that looked like the Gatorade glacial freeze flavor, which in
a snowstorm, I don't know how they would complete a pass.

(01:35:24):
I also know how they get tackled, but you got
to get the ball get tackled, so maybe it's a
run thing. I don't know. Yeah, some of these, some
of these uniforms that have been unveiled around the league
or the that's a technical term, by the way. All Right,
well we'll truck on because we still got to showtime
to fill. This is not a positive, by the way,

(01:35:45):
but it actually explains some stuff like I can't tell
you the number of videos I've seen of and and
I know men do this too, but but they don't
make videos about it. So maybe that's the problem. Well,
it'll be some woman. She's generally in her forties, maybe
even in her fifties. Okay, all right, well we'll get

(01:36:09):
to that story here in just a moment. Let's get
Denise Pelgrini and sorry, the technical issues abound. Denise, what
do you got this morning? Yeah?

Speaker 4 (01:36:17):
You know, first of all, we're really keeping a close
eye on inflation because we have this inflation report. It
just came out. It's a report that investors watch really
really closely, and the reason is that the FED watches
it closely. And of course, with all the you know
stuff with the Fed and President Trump pressuring the Fed
to cut interest rates, investors are wondering what this report means.

(01:36:39):
Looking at stock futures, investors aren't too unhappy with it.
The report did show a little bit of a pickup inflation,
but you could write that off as maybe a one
month blipt. Right now, dal futures are up one oh five,
and p Futures up seventeen, Nesdeck down rather and nesdek
Future is down one hundred and six. If you want
that new Boo Boodal, you're probably out of luck. Yeah,

(01:37:02):
sorry to have bad news for you, but Pop Mart's
knew many lulubus unveiled overnight. They filt out almost instantly.
Now this isn't a bunch of countries South Korea, Japan,
the US, pretty much elsewhere they went up for pre sale.
The only place you can get one is on eBay.
You'd have to pay you know, four or five hundred

(01:37:22):
dollars sixty if you want to pick it up there.
And Taco Bell customers asking management to hold the AI
the customer's case pushing back after it rolled out Voice
AI at hundreds of drive through locations. Customers do not
like the AI system. They've been complaining on TikTok. Wall

(01:37:43):
Street Journal says that the tech folks over at Taco
Bell are not giving up on AI though, They're going
to stick with it, try to refine it and make
it better. Meantime, there's sort of a mutiny among customers.
Some customers are doing this stuff now, like pulling into
the you know, the ordering system and asking the AI
for things like eighteen thousand couples of water just to

(01:38:05):
see what it says. Yeah, I mean whatever they're saying,
they can't make enough water in a day there. But
it did kind of make me laugh, I admit to
think about that. I would never do anything like that.

Speaker 1 (01:38:14):
But oh no, I'll every one of those videos and
laugh and I frustration, like people don't like. People don't
like to change. Now they're not with a human per se,
even though they kind of are. Yeah, yeah, put the stuff.

Speaker 4 (01:38:28):
Yeah, I mean I had to. I just reported an
electrical problem at my house and the chat bot right
logged it as a as a problem with my house,
which is not it's the whole block. They sent someone
out then told me my house was fine and build
me for coming to my house to fix something that
wasn't even broken. Now, if I fight it again, I

(01:38:51):
had to talk to the bot. I talked to AI
to to try to get through to it. Human probably
do the same thing again.

Speaker 1 (01:38:58):
We once all the humans dead.

Speaker 4 (01:38:59):
We are money, money, money, It's all about money, all right.

Speaker 1 (01:39:03):
Well, assuming you three day weekend, you guys in New York.

Speaker 4 (01:39:07):
You just all go oh, Yeah, weather is gorgeous, Tennis
is on here with the US Open, hiking in the horizon.
Help you have a good.

Speaker 1 (01:39:15):
Weekend too, Yeah you too as well. Thank you very much,
appreciate it.
