Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
You're on the CaCO Day radio program phone number eight
eight eight nine three four seven eight seven four. That'll
get you on the shows as we get the things,
all the things. We're rolling here on the Monday morning.
Oh look at this. All right, there's my Boston Paul.

(00:20):
Up too early or I didn't go to bed. All
the possibility. I would like to project the Boston Red
Sox for the playoffs and winning the World championship once again.
All right, you guys have fun, dude, like the fan
expectations for that particular division in Baseball Al East. You

(00:40):
guys are like several teams. I'm not going to drag
Raws into this because he's a media blackout dude, although
it being possible not to know what's going on.

Speaker 2 (00:50):
I think America's team. People are happy for America's team,
and it shows what hard work can do.

Speaker 1 (00:55):
Hard. Are you talking about Boston or no? No, New York. Yeah, yeah,
hard work can average five home runs a game.

Speaker 2 (01:03):
Yeah, you put in the time, right, the practice, These
torpedo bats you get some tor I don't know what
you're talking about, but.

Speaker 1 (01:13):
I mean, I'm not talking about it. But the New
York Post has like nine articles on it this morning.

Speaker 2 (01:18):
I think, But personally I think it's a It sounds
like a wacky conspiracy theory.

Speaker 1 (01:22):
That's what it sounds like, where the sweet spot's a
little lower on the back.

Speaker 2 (01:25):
I don't know what you're talking about.

Speaker 1 (01:26):
I'm not again, I'm not talking about it. I had
to google it and research it to figure out what
the hell they were talking about. And it you know,
we're talking about sports people. So if there is a
if there is a slight deviance on something within the
prescribed bounds these sports clubs, like you can't what happens
if an NFL player his shoelaces are not the right color,

(01:49):
the fine him fifty K.

Speaker 2 (01:50):
So I think the issue, because I did look into
it a bit, I think the issue is the twenty
mile prior wins that were going in that direction.

Speaker 1 (01:57):
That's helpful when you're playing Millwak it is. Yeah, And
then there's the part where you're playing Milwaukee and they're pitching,
so there's that too, but also torpedo bats or something
or whatever. I don't I don't understand it. Here's what
I know. Here's what I know. I would be if

(02:20):
it was my team and they went out and scored
what thirty seven runs in the series or something. No,
it's more than that, right, it was because they scored
twenty it was twenty to nine in the one game.

Speaker 2 (02:30):
Jeez, jeez, I think the total was thirty six.

Speaker 1 (02:35):
It was thirty six, okay, in a series. In a series,
first series of the year, you got. You got to
make sure you're not one of these fan bases who
just assumes that that's normal, and so that when you
come off all the bath salts or whatever and you
just spent the weekend eating the face, you're not like,

(02:56):
oh my gosh, this is unsustainable.

Speaker 2 (02:58):
So there's here's So if it is because of their
new bats.

Speaker 1 (03:02):
Which only what five players usually use.

Speaker 2 (03:04):
Right bright, they say like they moved a percentage of
the wood or something to where the label is, so
it's like where the ball tends to hit. There's more
impact there. Even if that was the case.

Speaker 1 (03:13):
Which is perfectly legal by the way, under MLB standards,
as I understand.

Speaker 2 (03:17):
Which is insane. But even if it was a thing
that's happening, I am for it. As long as no
other team is doing it.

Speaker 1 (03:25):
Oh you like the Philly tush push guys, right right?
The tact by the way, for next year, yes, for everybody,
Like if other teams start doing it, we need to stop. Sure,
oh absolutely, you think Bill Belichick is going to do
this at UNC basketball just because you know he is
with the loophole guy, I don't know. I think, if anything,

(03:48):
if it were true UN football, Sorry, I think he
shows that the Yankees are leaders and innovators and innovators m.

Speaker 2 (03:59):
Unbiased opinion, and well.

Speaker 1 (04:01):
I mean, to be fair, they did get told that
twenty seven times right is not the correct right right.

Speaker 2 (04:05):
Here's the thing that it's March, so who cares?

Speaker 1 (04:08):
Right? Yeah, torpedo bats bah so? All right, Boston Paul,
you have fun. But the how did Red Sox even do?
I don't, dude, I I honestly wasn't paying attention to
baseball this weekend basketball? Clearly baseball.

Speaker 2 (04:22):
I think they're one in three or zero and three
one of the two.

Speaker 1 (04:27):
What could be? I mean, there's two other options.

Speaker 2 (04:29):
I believe they are at the bottom of the division.

Speaker 1 (04:32):
Yes see, Okay, let's just go check out the standing,
shall we. Uh ross is correct? Yeah? Yeah, look at
that one in three. That's uh, that's what one and
three that's what you're too fitty you're winning percent yep.

Speaker 2 (04:49):
And the Yankees with hard work, persistence, patience, little prayer,
right three and oh.

Speaker 1 (04:55):
I see this, yeah right there top of the division. Uh,
nobody not even tied for nothing. In fact, that's gay.
I mean how many. Uh that's the only undefeated team
in the American League. I believe the Twins they went
in a very different direction. They decided they're gonna rope
and open them this year. Yeah, it's a long game,

(05:17):
so they decided we're just gonna lose our first three,
right and uh and by the way, uh be tied
with Detroit, so we're not even last alone. So that's good.

Speaker 2 (05:28):
Well, I mean there are like a million games left
in the season, so you'll be fine.

Speaker 1 (05:32):
No, but like I have no expect that, I have nothing.
There's the only thing you could do to them. You could,
like win, and I'd be more happy, you know what
I'm saying, even if you win win poorly, like barely.

Speaker 2 (05:41):
I honestly, all jokes aside them sort of just checked
out with baseball. And it's that season where the Yankees
broke the record for most wins before the All Star Game.
Remember they they it was ridiculous. They had lost like
four or five games. It was so dumb, and then
the second half of the season they lost like every game.
And after that point, I'm like, I'm kind of out,

(06:02):
like at least before the All Star break, Like I'm
not even going to pay attention to it, besides knowing
that we're using these bats, which are completely legal and
an innovation to the sport.

Speaker 1 (06:13):
But uh uh uh, your big boys aren't using them
right judging Really the judge is not using it, although
he should not change his bad apparently it is like wall,
he's he's what is how many home runs? Is he hit? Five?
Four or five or five? Yeah, so stick with what
you're doing. Look, here's the deal. In the American League,

(06:34):
it's just a race to see who is playing the Dodgers.
The Dodgers are five and oh or something.

Speaker 2 (06:39):
Yeah, I think the Dodgers. Now, if we're going to
like point to a team that has ruined baseball, that
would be the Dodgers. Uh huh, but you're not you're
not in agreement.

Speaker 1 (06:49):
I mean, Houston still is more angry at you.

Speaker 2 (06:52):
Know, I'm just tired of as a Yankees fan.

Speaker 1 (06:56):
Yeah, big money, big market, big money.

Speaker 2 (06:58):
Yeah yeah, as the Yankees not really paying attention because
of what I just said. I am disgusted that a
team can win a championship just by paying for it,
like the Dodgers consistently.

Speaker 1 (07:07):
Yeah, that's what they do. Well, it's California, man, they
don't have a lot.

Speaker 2 (07:10):
Of scruples, you know, like the Dodgers, rich, wealthy, elitist kids. Yeah,
disgust me. Yankee is real?

Speaker 1 (07:18):
I think, well I and remember I, if it's my understanding,
the Dodgers used to be real, real, right, right, and
then one day they got mad and they took their
ball and went west right right. Yes, so yeah, that's
uh yeah, they're probably gonna win the National League.

Speaker 2 (07:34):
So that's uh, that's that all right?

Speaker 1 (07:37):
So uh yeah, hey, little baseball, Little baseball, get things going.
Oh wait, hold on, oh Boston, Paul's crashed down to
earth already. What was it the numbers or all the
losses or the that you guys don't have torpedo bats?
Is that what it is? Okay? Hey, i I'm not

(07:58):
I'm not an al I'm gonna americanly guy, but not
a al East because what would happen is twins have
a guy and they'll be all good, and then then
you guys be like, let me, let me just throw
all the money, so kind of broke me of that.
All right, six fourteen here on the Kcoday Radio program,
lots to get to on this lovely Monday morning, we'll

(08:21):
start down that road. I'll give you a rundown next,
hang on phone number eight eight eight nine three four
seven eight seven fours. We get things rolling, and it
wouldn't be another broadcast week if we didn't have more
jat Now, to be fair, this is not a new
Jasmine Crockett thing. This is actually an older clip that
has emerged. I was not aware of it, which is

(08:42):
I think it's because she said it before. She kind
of stole enough of the spotlight for people to give
a crap. And now that people are like, did you
call the governor of Texas governor hot wheels? Clearly you
said that because he's in a wheelchair, And she's like, no,
I just said it because of his policies, right. And
then of course, what you know we pointed out here

(09:05):
on the show, which I'm sure irritates some people, ross
used the term what was the code switching? Right? And
I had heard that term before too, and again, sometimes
it's talked about in a way where you know, like
if you're a child of divorce and you and there
is there is a large cultural swing between maybe the

(09:28):
community around your your father and your mother, you might
code switch. And sometimes it's talked about from a racial
standpoint where but I've heard it utilized just for people
in general who kind of have to act different if
one of this one of the parents is in a
wealthy community and one's not. So it is what it is,

(09:49):
so I like, but it's in a way it's whenever
I've heard it, it's like kids in survival note kind
of stuff, or just trying to fit in. Right, You're
not accomplished, You're not I don't know somebody who is
now a one of the five hundred and thirty six

(10:12):
most powerful people in the country. You don't only have
to code switch at that point. You get a little
fokesy when you're back home, and maybe a little more
you know, Upper North Northeast when you're at work, so
to speak, in the DC circles. But the reality of
it is normally when a politician does that, they just
get mocked for it because it's some self serving campaign thing.

(10:37):
So with Jasmine Crockett, who went to literally the best
private school money can buy in the state of Missouri
from Saint Louis original, even though she represents Dallas area
now and and you were also realized that just prior
to her getting elected to Congress, when she's giving interviews
talking about her desire to run, it's an entire highly

(11:00):
different woman. Let's just read visit Jasmine Crockett from like
three is before she's elected, As she's getting her campaign running,
she sits down for an interview.

Speaker 3 (11:10):
Absolutely, first of all, is good to see.

Speaker 1 (11:11):
You're gonna hear it chopped in a little of the
oh oh you ross got that out? Okay, all right,
so this is this is this is Crockett doing an
interview ahead of being elected to Congress.

Speaker 3 (11:22):
Absolutely, first of all, is good to see you in
the new year. You know, no one could have told
me that when I went down to Austin now looks
like a little bit over a year ago, that I
would be running for Congress. Just not what my plan was.
But what I've always decided is that I would step
up when there was a need. But when she called

(11:42):
me and said I think it's time for me to retire,
and you're the one that I believe should take my seat.
You know, the congressional seat is over four times as
large as my house seat. And I was just starting
to get into the rhythm of doing constituent services and
things like that.

Speaker 1 (11:59):
Okay, all right, so you know, not super clearly she's
not mad at something. She's doing an interview there. But
and then right there's the the Jasmine Crockett who's like
Governor hot Wheels. Well, they found a clip of her
on the Breakfast Club and she I just look, it's

(12:20):
the ultimate test of what if she was saying this
in reverse. In fact, one of the things she says
is something I see people who actually do believe their
white supremacists say, which is crazy to me. Clearly she
doesn't mean it from a white supremacy standpoint, but just
the fact that a member of Congress is comfortable saying

(12:40):
this shows you again the massive double standard that is
out there and just you know, really the attitude that
you're dealing with. So, you know, people around her said,
you know, after interviews like this, I'm sure text your
like you go, girl, yeah you got it, yeah yeah yeah.
And it's like I can't I can't imagine, you know,

(13:01):
Congressman Jethro something or other, sorry to pick on the
Jethro's out there from like you know, to the rule
part of Tennessee saying this and thinking that they could
go and have their seat be there the next day,
they'd get the entire Congress would throw them out right

(13:21):
or wrong right even if they said it and didn't
even mean it, or they said it as a quote
and then it got re like the whole thing would
get smaredould just be you would never utter the words.
And yet here is what she's talking about. She's specifically
talked about another black congressman in the form of Byron
Donald's listen to that. And again this is from I

(13:43):
believe June or July, but again she's now more on
the radars. So check this out.

Speaker 3 (13:48):
And if we continue to put people into office and
that even means some of our skin folk who definitely
are not our cam folks.

Speaker 1 (13:56):
That's the phrase right there, Russ. Can you like that
sounds like that sounds like some you know, some clan
utter instead of meeting ah, these skin folks who are
not our kin file. I don't even like repeating it,
but like I just say it with a say it
with a Dave Chappelle skit level of inflection. It's just crazy, man,

(14:20):
or you just say I'm sorry.

Speaker 2 (14:21):
Now you're right to sounds. You remember we had that
clip before where it was like white supremacists realizing they
have so much in common with like woke people.

Speaker 1 (14:27):
Yes, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah, but do listen to this
thing again, but listen to it as though it's in
a Clayton Bigsby voice, all right, because it's it's just crazy.

Speaker 3 (14:38):
And if we continue to put people into office, and
that even means some of our skin folk who definitely
are not our kim folks, such as Byron Donald's, who
are gonna continue to say that, Like I mean, the
fact that you're sitting around talking about life was better
under Jim Crow, Like is this because you don't understand history?
Or literally it's because you married a white woman and

(14:59):
so you think that they're white Washington. I'm not really
sure like what it is, but.

Speaker 1 (15:03):
I do be married to a white woman, correct, correct.

Speaker 3 (15:07):
And it took Joy to call him out, So I'm like,
brou like, what is you talking about?

Speaker 2 (15:11):
Like what are you saying?

Speaker 3 (15:12):
Like he just out here, you know, I feel like
they give him a stocking points and he's like, yes.

Speaker 1 (15:16):
Massa, I got it. There's a lot of times the
Wall Street Journal will do a series that clearly seems
to be very middle of the road right where they're
just say, hey, here's what we found, and you know,
here's people from one side and another and they're all
feeding at this trough and great and then you know,
other times, I'm just saying, the Wall Street Journals, basically
the New York Times or the Washington Post, I just

(15:37):
I don't understand it. But how they can be so
accurate and then so inaccurate within the same story over
the weekend, I don't understand. So the Wall Street Journals
decide they're gonna get a they're gonna get another scandal
of bruin. Okay, uh Pete Hagseth one. Because remember, even
though this whole signal gait whatever thing, which has gone

(16:03):
on for way too long, is if there is somebody
who I screwed up the most, if you will, it's
Mike Waltz or his staff. Okay, and Waltz did acknowledge
in an interview finally on Fox that it was on
him or his team. He was a little vague about it,

(16:26):
whatever not whatever on the issue. But like it's clear
that if you believe somebody needs their heads need to roll,
it's gonna be Waltz or somebody on his staff. But
that's not the big game here. So that's why you
see all these articles where they're really hyper focused on
Hegseth or the VP some of them, but really hag

(16:46):
Seth is the target. And so when you see journalists
even ignoring the context of their own story about responsibility
and turning all of their attention to Hegseeth, you realize
it's not about accountability, it's about you. It's it's like
it's big game hunting, right. This is this is how
journalists big game hunt. They're not gonna go on a

(17:07):
safari and stand down a charging bull elephant with a
four forty four you know whatever, whatever their their elephant
gun of choices over there. They're not gonna do that.
This is what this is how they do it. They
go for scalps in Washington, and if you get one,
you are you are a news legend, right, You're You're

(17:29):
the guys who got Nixon. Okay, now you gotta be
careful because if you get a Democrat, it literally could
be hard on your career. There are some journalists who,
in their aggressiveness to go after Bill Clinton, it really
stalled their career, even though dude clearly lied in a
legal setting. Right, So anyway you gotta be But hegseeth

(17:53):
is the the massive elephant in this case that they
all want to get. And so at that point people
look at it, well, this is just dumb because like,
this isn't about the story anymore. So the Wall Street
Journal they they went, well, let's go in a different direction, okay,
because the signal thing isn't getting it done. All right,
So what happened? Well, now, Pete Hagsath had his wife

(18:18):
at with him when there was a quote secretive sensitive
meetings with foreign leaders. All right, do you you want
to get started on this because I'm pretty sure I
watched a cabinet meeting that was being run by a
coke addict and his mom. What is that not accurate?

(18:39):
Am I being inaccurate?

Speaker 2 (18:40):
No, it's a very valid point. Yes, I.

Speaker 1 (18:45):
I just saw it here. I don't know six months ago.

Speaker 2 (18:48):
Yeah, you had a presidency that was being completely run
by the wife. Maybe remember when they were off.

Speaker 1 (18:54):
Seeing that one book, they're saying that Hunter really was
driving a lot of this. That's scary. Arguably more terrified.

Speaker 2 (18:59):
That's scary because they would release these photos like before
the G twenty of doctor Jill sitting at the desk
with all the binders in front of her, like getting
ready for the big day. Like why are you looking?
What are you doing?

Speaker 1 (19:09):
President's over there eating his ice pressure chocolate chocolate chip.
What are you guys talking about? Nothing? Go back to
your chocolate chocolate chip. It's okay, okay, honey, I got this.
But also what does that mean? Because what you're talking
is he sitting there in a skiff? No, no, this
is just done. It literally was a quote unquote meeting

(19:31):
that was a delegate foreign affairs thing where there were
plus ones allowed. Right. You ever see that? You ever
see those settings when there is a formal state dinner, right,
And here's the president from China or whatever, and there's
his wife, and there's the first lady along with the president,
and there's the there's the president from Canada or whatever,

(19:51):
the PM from Canada, and you know, here's so and
so from Czechoslovakia or Czech He or whatever, and like
and they're all standing, what do you think they're talking
about where all the nukes are? No, there is important
stuff that's discussed, but it's you know, it's that whole
like medmen's settings, where it's like, all right, we wht

(20:13):
the wives go see if there's more tea. Well, they've
been getting down to business after having spoke for a
few minutes. So this thing they accused hegseeth of is
like you were literally had guests with you, right, and
nothing classified was discussed. But that's the direction they're going.
And then we have this genius entitled what does MAGA

(20:35):
have against Europe? Well, they have some thoughts. They have
some thoughts because they look, we look over to Europe. One,
because there are so many people in lawmaking positions in
this country who get a little aroused when they talk
about how they do things over in Europe. Right, Oh,
they don't have to deal with things, you know, and

(20:57):
then pick whatever the hip piece is. Well, you know,
in Europe they don't have to deal with electoral college.
I've heard I can't tell you the number of times
I've heard with that, and I'm like, did I don't know.
I just saw him erase elections in like two different countries.

Speaker 2 (21:09):
Lest yeah, but they right because they have to deal
with their parliamentary system, which makes absolutely no sense. And
they're like, oh, well, you know the you know, the
person who won the American election didn't win fifty percent.
I'm like, well, you have a parliamentary system where your
winner won like twenty percent, So what are you talking about?

Speaker 1 (21:23):
Right? And then he formed a coalition and most people
don't pay attention to it. We were talking about Canada
last week. Do you guys know what's what's going on
up there? We were talking about the current acting prime minister.
Do you know he's not elected? Right?

Speaker 2 (21:38):
Oh, the Carney guy or Carrie whatever his name is.

Speaker 1 (21:40):
Yeah, Carney, he's not he's not elected.

Speaker 2 (21:42):
I was shocked to learn that the Pierre Apple guy.

Speaker 1 (21:44):
Didn't win well because they haven't run yet. He didn't know. Okay,
so here this is this is what we miss we
miss here, and Pierre's still running. The problem is is
he's already he's already like one of one of the
coalition members is mad at him because of the direction
he decided to go after Trump rather than his political opponents.

(22:05):
When all this was going on, and so you have
one of the hyper conservative groups up at Cana's like,
why would you do this? Like our job, an only
job is to attack Trudeau and his team. So when
Trudeau timed his leaving, he stayed just late enough to
reassess the Canadian Parliament, but not so late as to

(22:27):
bring it up to the actual election. So what he
was able to do by doing that is they were
able to find an interim PM and put him in there,
and then it was a process that they controlled. So
their election is is it this week or next I
think it's this week or next week? And the problem

(22:50):
is Pierre's party can go ahead and get votes, but
it's about that coalition. So it's looking even if his
party comes out on top, they may not have a
coalition enough. And so again it's the fact that it's
taken me this long to explain right systems better.

Speaker 2 (23:06):
So I've taken in everything you've said, yes, and I've
assessed it. I've come to the conclusion that it's a
stupid and dumb system.

Speaker 1 (23:13):
Well, I haven't even told you the part with the moose. Y,
Oh the moose, yeah, tell you now. They had that
octopus who picks the World Cup winner so they have
a moose, right, and then if there's if the things
are too close, it's your do you know what couchhip
bingo is?

Speaker 2 (23:28):
I do?

Speaker 1 (23:29):
Okay, So for those of you who don't know, this
was very popular I grew up. It's a it's a
gambling thing of sorts. So you get a cows. Generally,
like at the state Fair, they'd have this every every
day there was one and you go and then you buy,
you carve a grid or you paint a grid with
like white spray paint or whatever, and in this you know,
this little corral, right, and and then each is like

(23:52):
a one. You know, it's like it's like a battleship
set up. And then once you sold all the spots,
you let the cow in there and wherever the cow goes,
uh number two, you win the money, right, except Canadians
do that with a moose. And then there's politicians' names,
so well.

Speaker 2 (24:09):
It sounds really official, though I don't know what it
sounds really official.

Speaker 1 (24:13):
Yeah, well, but you know then but like then you
get some people who try to like game the system,
so they like, you know, they get like moose food
in their part.

Speaker 2 (24:21):
But then if you if you do win. You have
to chug the syrup in a certain amount of time
to actually receive the Crown of Canada. Correct, right, yes, right, and.

Speaker 1 (24:30):
Then that's and then then and that's what the official
mounty Uh procession. It's it's a whole big thing, dude.
And and here is the thing you never wanted to buy.
I never understood idiots who would buy edge squares because
the cat like if because people would stand around leaning
against the corral. Well, the cow's not gonna come over.

(24:51):
If if you got one, it's a border square, you're
basically screwed. And then you have to go over by
your border square and shoot people off. But if you
touch the cow, you're disqualified. It doesn't matter. So a
lot of rules go with it. And I'm sure the
moose thing is very similar. But yeah, that's my point, Like, yeah,
we look at Europe and we have criticisms, and that's

(25:13):
fine because a lot of the criticisms it's not necessarily
our problem. The problem is now it is our problem
for a lot of this when a bunch of people
look lustfully at the way that Europe does things, you know,
where they've they've prosecuted thirty five hundred people for Facebook
posts in the UK this year. I want to read

(25:33):
that number. Get thirty five hundred people. I think it's
not just this year. I think it's in the last
five years, just to be clear, but thirty five hundred
people for Facebook posts. And then you have people in
the US, including the last president's team, who try to
put their own team of people together just to do

(25:54):
this with that theater kid check yeah, okay, well now yeah,
I do have to pay attention. So they're like, what
does MAGA have against Europe? They have a lot of
bad ideas that people want to do over here, and
people are watching what's going on in a lot of
these countries where they are eroding you know, essentially culture

(26:16):
within these countries.

Speaker 2 (26:17):
Right, where do you think the idea of single payer
where socialized medicine came from? How many times if did
Bernie Sanders go on and on about that crap?

Speaker 1 (26:23):
And by the way, just to say what I said,
where people call you a racist for it? What do
you mean? Roading culture? They're e roading culture right, and
that goes for everywhere else too. Any anywhere that you
have these large upheavals new e road culture, you should
be able to point it out and call it out.

(26:44):
I saw where was this? I think it was up
in Canada. I saw an interview with this guy and
his wife who are demanding the Canada create women only
eating zones at public beaches. This is a real thing
that ran, uh that I saw last I don't know
when it ran. It ran last week at some point,

(27:05):
and they were talking about uh. And the problem was
is that when women go who wear the full burka
with you know, with the eye just the eyes showing
out that slit, they can't eat at the beach or
they have to like shove the food under under the
head the head piece, and and then it gets you know,
gets messy and all that. And so they they have

(27:27):
to bring tents to the beach because women, you know,
they obviously they can't show their face and they can't
eat in front of men. So and they're like, oh, well,
the government of Canada needs to pay for this. And
I'm like, well, one, it sounds like you have a
solution at the tent, but also no offense. Why would
you go to the beach if you're covered head to
toe in every stitch of clothing that would be I

(27:50):
would be miserable and it's gonna be a miserable hot
but also what fun are you having? And it's just
you know, it's it's it's all of that stuff and
you're seeing and stuff over in Europe people have thoughts.
But it's not even just about all the immigration stuff.
I know that that's what gets discussed. It's also things
like where the wokeness has eroded the ability of thousands

(28:15):
of years of tradition from even being considered to be done,
you know, where they've decided that we need to rather
than recognizing, which makes all of these different. This is
the reason you go to Europe if you're an American tourist,
you want to see the culture about to say, within
these countries.

Speaker 2 (28:36):
The only thing they really have going for them when
it comes to tourism or that kind of stuff is
their history, right, It's their history. It's the castles. And
you hear this all the time from them. They're like, oh, well,
you're only a two hundred and forty year country. We've
been around for thousands of years or whatever it is,
and we have castles and all this, and it's like
that's great, then why are you destroying it?

Speaker 1 (28:52):
Yeah, every single I mean every single country that I've
gone to over in Europe, it's like one of the
At some point, I'm like, let me go see the
old stuff, right, Don't get me wrong. You go for
the food in some place, you go check it out,
but that's what you want, that's what you want to see.
And then this line here, which just made me laugh, uh,

(29:15):
appear at Maga. Republicans see Europe as full of latte
sipping progressives. Yes, you know why they see it that
way because it is because it is.

Speaker 2 (29:27):
I've never seen a headline more nail than that before. Yeah,
that's perfect.

Speaker 1 (29:31):
I thought this was a hit piece too.

Speaker 2 (29:32):
That's why I hate it over there. I can't stand them,
and they don't realize that they're poverty. We've been around
for thousands of years, you infantile Americans, and it's like, well,
like you said, stop destoring your own history then, because
that's all you got going for you. And you know,
they want to make something.

Speaker 1 (29:46):
Cobbler man they show, you know, they want to go
see the old timey stuff. And believe it or not,
it's like for a lot of these countries, the only
thing financially you really have going for you, you don't
have big and you don't have fortune. Five hundred companies
that came out there. I mean some of them you
got like no Key and some others that you know
are big ones. But for a lot of these countries,
which are you know, are are big countries. It's the

(30:10):
old it's the old craftsmanship stuff. There's a reason that
whenever you go to any of the tourist places, there's
you know, three hundred people make their money off just
dressing like it's the fifteen hundreds and they're getting ready
to carry bodies out. Oh yeah, there's a whole thing
you can go there's a whole life if you ever
go to if you ever go to France, there's a plague.
There's like a plague reenactment thing you can go to.

(30:31):
They don't actually have plague though, so I was a
little concerned. They did not have the plague. Nor did
they recreate the scene from Monty Python though ross I
thought that was a little rude.

Speaker 2 (30:42):
Which scene to bring out your dead?

Speaker 1 (30:43):
Yeah, bring out your dead like I was hoping, right,
I wanted the day. I want the guy who's mostly dead,
like I want the whole thing that didn't happen. But
like there's just you you, and it was just one
part of it. But they're you know, they're sitting there
and they're going over the history of stuff, and if
you go, they also talk about how uh they also
raz the British at it because you know, the French

(31:04):
and British have their old have their whole beef. But
that's great. That's what I'm there for. That's what I'm there,
just to avoid the pickpockets and check out the uh
the Renaissance fair uh Randy Wench outfits that tell me
some of the women reenactors were wearing.

Speaker 2 (31:19):
I've been saying it for years, like there's no point
of me going over to Europe because we have Epcot.

Speaker 1 (31:25):
Well this is Epcot. I mean that's that essentially, that's
this Europe is.

Speaker 3 (31:29):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (31:29):
Yeah, but it's safer. Is safer than Europe?

Speaker 1 (31:33):
Yes, oh yeah, that's one hundred percent, yeah one even
with the even if all the gators are up trying
to eat still, but safer. So yeah, I in your
effort here with this little essay Wall Street Journal. So yeah,
they see Europe is full of latte sipping progressive. Well
it's progressive. I don't I don't think that's that's a lie.

(31:57):
It's becoming less so, but not necessarily effectively. If you
can just pretend elections didn't happen. Oh man, now yeah,
we just said there was so whole we got to
do over. You know, you ever play sports with that
kid in school? Right? You just can't handle rules and
stuff like I get a do over, You don't get
to do what you talking about. You don't gonna do

(32:18):
are gonna do over? Right? He's throwing a fit until
he goes home. The difference is they don't go home.
They're just smug saute lipping or latte sipping progressives. Immediately,
what did you envision? You envisioned some French guy with
a lot of opinions, some attitude, sitting there with one
of those little cups, with this pinky out telling you

(32:38):
why everything they do is better than what you do?
Why do people have that in their brain? Go go
over to Europe sometimes you'll see a lot of that,
and that's fine, that's their thing they're doing in their
country whatever. But don't get mad at people for noticing,
because we notice, and we'll be back phone number eight
eight eight nine three four seven eight seven four. All right,

(32:58):
we got several stabbies stories we're gonna have to get to.
They are piling up, including one that's local. I'll get
to that one here pretty quick. Let me let me
get to just explaining a few different things we're gonna
be talking about. So, a little bit of a meltdown
going on at Columbia University as they have yet another

(33:24):
what have they gone through, like six different either presidents
or deans, Like it's just a it's just a rotation
over there. And now the interim president of Columbia is
a former CNN reporter, so that should probably approve improve things.
But they're the students, the protesters, and the not always

(33:47):
the same thing, as we've come to find out. Uh,
they basically are mad that Colombia is not going to
war with Trump. You remember, Columbia's now has to essentially
write a paper about why they should get to they
should get four hundred million dollars or whatever. They're one
of the largest endowments in the world, but why they
should get that money. And so Columbia is they're trying

(34:10):
to pretend and do things that look like they're being proactive,
but in reality seem kind of meaningless. And thus far
has not satisfied the Trump administration there on why they
should get this money when they're clearly not doing things
like actually trying to purge you know, racist and or

(34:33):
you know, like an anti Jewish sentiment or some of
the other stuff that's going. You know, just the sheer
insanity of all of it. And so the students are like, well,
what we should do is double down on this. So
that's great. And so they had interesting little protests over
the weekend. I will commend speaking of protest over the
weekend with a different direction. I saw one of these

(34:56):
protests going or they're not singing anymore. I know, guys,
you know you're gonna miss that because he doesn't love this. Yeah, yeah,
you tell them lady, And then a little and who

(35:20):
can forget this timeline classic?

Speaker 2 (35:23):
Are you?

Speaker 1 (35:25):
Well? No, they went in a different direction. So a
group of protesters, which, by the way, do you notice
anything about those protesters ross anything interesting about general demographics
when you were loading in the audio this morning? Why
is everyone so old at these things?

Speaker 2 (35:42):
Yeah, they all tend to be like super old and
super white.

Speaker 1 (35:45):
What's up? But why that's so weird? Huh? Where's all
the where's all the working age folks. You know, it's
enough to start you conspiracy in your brain. There and
why are there so many angry geriatric women? I don't
get me wrong some of the husbands, but most of
the husbands in those situations seem like they're not They

(36:08):
don't wear they never worn in the pants in the family.
They're just standing there dead inside, you know, like that
guy at the middle of the mall, standing there holding
his wife's purse, just going, how did we get here? Again?
Why are we here? It's football's on? Why am I here?

Speaker 2 (36:22):
Right?

Speaker 1 (36:23):
They're just dead inside. I told you they are interviewing
some couple the other day where the woman's just she's
just just so grading and like her husband is so
dead inside. When he did speak, he refers to himself
in the third person, like he's Ricky Henderson. I don't
know what the hell's going on. I'm like that man
has been broken for years. So yeah, am I picking

(36:43):
more on the ladies here a little bit? But like,
am I wrong in those scenarios? How many times have you?
And and again, why are there so many angry grandmas? What?
I And I know that many of you who listen
are retired and you're still very much involved in politics.
But I got to tell you, Uh, there's a lot

(37:03):
of things looking forward to you know, like Ross's thing.
He just wants to get so old he can shoplift
with impunity. That's his dream. Everybody's got their dream. That's fine.
Maybe maybe you know swear at kids like, oh he's old.
He can't help it. But you can't help it, you know.
I don't want to when I'm retired and you come
up like what do you think of this story, I'm

(37:24):
just gonna be like, I have nothing. I think of
nothing of this story. I can't wait. Let alone stand
out in front of a Tesla dealership with everyone from
the senior living facility thinking you're making a difference. How
did you get so angry? Arguably you had, you had
in your most wealth earning years, you were just you were.

(37:46):
You're just living in a dream pre all this inflation stuff.

Speaker 2 (37:50):
A part of me wonders if they have any children
that speak to them or just have to In general,
I don't know, because it seems like they're making this
their life purpose, as if they're missing something to give
them more value.

Speaker 1 (38:05):
And I'm not saying that just because you're over sixty.
Once you get a social Security check that you shouldn't
you feel strongly, But it's like, why are you so angry?
That's what I don't get. Why are you so angry?
They arguably you should be less angry because you've seen
it all. Right, you're saying, right, you're not that pie
ied eighteen year old who thinks I got the world

(38:26):
figured out. And if they just do what I say,
everything's going to be fine. Like you've been through all
of it.

Speaker 2 (38:30):
You should have wisdom and experience, and a lot of
this stuff should be bouncing off of you because you've
seen like worse or you've been through it before.

Speaker 1 (38:37):
Yeah, go ahead, tell me that story about how you
used to walk to school. It's fine. It probably did
suck comparably, I got it. But also you're at an
age now where there was more opportunity. Remember, you were
part of one of the last generations before we did
the thing where a future generation was worse off than you.
And that's not something we've done in the US in forever.

(39:01):
And you're so angry. But also then I'm just like
the reason that the people good jobs aren't there, or
the younger folks, is I don't know some of that
protest money's drying up. Did you see the idiots in
the orange vests who go block traffic and glue themselves
to stuff and throw the soup what was it, uh,
extinct something whatever? They're stupid. Did you see they're going

(39:23):
to not do those anymore? They're like, ah, and then
and their their line is, well, we just yeah, we
don't know if it was effective. What do you mean
you don't know if it was effective? It might have
been the most counter effective thing I've ever seen a
protest group do, let alone start actually killing people. Was

(39:44):
there was Was there anyone thinking then it was effective?
And is that really the reason you're not going to
have these mass road takeovers? Because to me it sounds
like maybe you can't afford to have them anymore, and
that it's so weird. How did that happen? Did you

(40:04):
have an accountant who didn't carry the one?

Speaker 2 (40:08):
Well, I mean it's inflation and it's tax season, so
oh that's a good point.

Speaker 1 (40:11):
Yeah, yeah, because they're you know, they try to go
take over and instead of being able to take over
an intersection, it's nothing but sign spinning dudes dressed is
the statue of Liberty tis the season. What an awful
coincidence too, that you got to be outside all day
spinning a sign dressed like a statue and it's in
the amount of pollen that we have. Oh my gosh,

(40:32):
hop those dudes are getting hazard pay. Yeah, but now
you can't do the takeover there because the sign spinning
dudes there and that's his corner and they're very territorial.
Here's the video in Arizona where the two sign spinning
dudes fought each other.

Speaker 2 (40:48):
There's you mean it's an actual fire. Did they have
like a sign off?

Speaker 1 (40:51):
No, no, no, no, no, no no. It's like one
spinning and then one spinning and then the other one
gets irritated like hey, this is rice spin my thing.
And they weren't even as for food and one was
for I think tax services.

Speaker 2 (41:02):
It reminds me of the justin Timberlake snl skit where
he was the cup of noodles, Cup of noodles.

Speaker 1 (41:06):
Yeah, yeah, and Santa that is a funny stude. That
whole episode was just that was great because that was
also the in the box episode, right, I believe so yeah, yeah, but.

Speaker 2 (41:18):
Any homeless Bill, I think bring it on down, homeless.

Speaker 1 (41:22):
Yeah, and the Santa Dude's like, come on, man, the
he was ringing the bell for salvation already. Yeah, it
was great. But yeah, and so they're spinning, and I
think the other dude was impeding his ability to spin
because he got too close. And then throw their signs
down like his hockey gloves, and and here we go amazing.

Speaker 2 (41:41):
And if you're their boss, you give them a raise
because at least you know they're serious about their gig,
because a lot of people take those jobs and just
stand there just not moving a sign yet with their
with their their head down or their hood over their head,
and just don't pay attention to anyone. These guys are like,
I will fight you for the competition, you know, for
for to win this battle.

Speaker 1 (41:57):
Sign spinning superiority, absolutely commanding the viral nature of it
because I remember seeing the signs. I don't remember what
the businesses are. But now not just traffic people driving
by trying not to rubber neck and get in an accident.
Now the whole Internet gets to share in your advertising genius.
All right. Uh anyway, so uh yeah, so you have

(42:20):
like there was one, there was this, there's a video
I reposted it of a grandma who is there in
a parking lot and there's a cyber truck there and
then they just have to they just got to sit
there and uh and he's got to film his wife
Lou having an absolute meltdown. All honestly, billion dollar, billion

(42:42):
dollar idea. Gonna give it away for free. Maybe you
can put me in, you know, give me a board
of directors and maybe a little little piece of the equity.
A series of retirement homes, right, really nice one like
the one that's up in North Raleigh. They're off is
it off of six Forts? What is the or the

(43:04):
one that's next to North Hills, that senior living home there.
I can't remember the names of either of them, but
like really top not stuff on the outside, all right,
you wanted to look good and that's about okay, that's
about helping to you know, knock a little of the
guilt off of their family members who were sticking them
in this home. All right, So you wanted to look

(43:26):
really nice outside. A lot of amenities, good fixtures, right.
The lobby is impressive, This is great. The little room
they show you, which isn't a you know, it's like
the model at like an apartment building that looks really great,
and they've got a couple a couple of the residents there,
who are you know, keyed in on the marketing. Probably
get a piece of like your first payment or whatever,

(43:47):
like no, it's great. We have bingo every day, and
and you know is everyone's so happy, all right? And
they drop off Nana or pop Pop and and but
probably Nana because pop Pop decided he didn't want to
be around her anymore, because holy hell, who can stand her?
And but inside, when you get into the actual room,

(44:07):
there's nothing but pads. The whole walls is covered just
you know, absolute nurse ratchet employees. Billion dollar idea. We
need these because not only right are these kids being
getting away from their insufferable parents who scream at inanimate
objects in a parking lot for five minutes on TikTok?

(44:29):
How do you explain that? And you know, probably tell
you know, probably or horrible to them too, like I
can't believe you're doing it this way, bam, if you're
not all the way in and then just there you go.
So now those people aren't in a parking lot losing
their mind, getting their blood pressure up This is for
their own health because they got thorsin three times a day,

(44:49):
so they don't, you know, scream anymore. I don't know
what we're gonna call them, but I feel like it'd
be very popular. And then I don't have to go
and drive by a Tesla dealership where people in their
seventies are doing this but not singing, thankfully. That's right.

(45:14):
That is a Tesla protest where the protesters are LARPing
Nazi memorabilia and signs, but dancing, doing line dancing to
the Electric Slide, which I believe was Hitler's favorite ross.
Can you look that up? I think you slide was
his favorite.

Speaker 2 (45:32):
Let me check it out? Confirmed? Oh confirmed? Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 (45:36):
There's just him and his German shepherds and top SS officers. Man.
That's how they used to get down, I guess. And
now because they are holding the signs, you know, essentially
Elon's and Nazi and that it's got swastikas because you
want to draw attention from people driving by, but it's not.
It's a bunch of people doing line dancing. And I
can't tell how I feel about this, right. I Mean,

(45:58):
on one hand, I'm glad they're not singing anymore. So
that's a win, right Ross. Are you down with this?
The New Look protests?

Speaker 2 (46:07):
Oh, I mean we had this story a few weeks
ago where they were doing the protest to the Makarina,
So maybe it was everything. Yeah, but at least they're
not singing, right, at.

Speaker 1 (46:15):
Least they're not singing. That's that's what I say. But
I also I don't want like Brooks and Don and
Alan Jackson gets swept up in this like what do
they do other and be fixtures of the best era
of country music to ever exist, the nineteen nineties. Tell
it it's turn into whoever it's turned into now, don't
be wrong, there's some wins now, But like, the whole
vibe of nineties country was amazing.

Speaker 2 (46:35):
I found out that Marky, you know, my wife, she
did square dancing in high school, and she thought it
was like, I'd never heard of that before.

Speaker 1 (46:42):
We did not do dancing or high school.

Speaker 2 (46:45):
The square dancing. She's like, you didn't do it. It
was it was a thing they had to take. But
we did not do that up in New York. So
maybe it's this southern thing. Did you do it in Wyoming?

Speaker 1 (46:53):
So yeah, line dancing was a thing in Wyoming, so
if we went to anything, they had a big dance
every year at the county Fair.

Speaker 2 (47:00):
Yeah, but I mean, like as like a class in school.

Speaker 1 (47:02):
No, I don't you know. I don't remember that being
a class. I think you could do it through FFA
trying to remember I did my FFAs were meat judging,
do not laugh. I can grade a piece of meat. Bro,
you won't put a steak down. I can grade that
bad boy. I know exactly what marble into look. I
mean that sounds fun though you got a competition.

Speaker 2 (47:25):
That's a skill, and it.

Speaker 1 (47:26):
Just felt normal until you tell somebody. I remember telling
people in California went down to school there, like, oh,
what were your extracurriculars? I judge meat. They're looking at
me like what is wrong? Yeah, I'm like no, no, no,
it's fun.

Speaker 2 (47:39):
That's pay off in your future, though it's important market.

Speaker 1 (47:43):
I can judge horse shows. I mean I don't like
can now. I don't have a certificate or anything, but
I know what to look for. Oh yeah, I am
not to be trifled with. And then if the horse
gets out of line gets made a steak, I could
tell you if it's marble to a certain percentage, thus
allowing it to receive a certain grade. Although we did cow,

(48:04):
we did cattle, pork and lamb. Really at our competitions,
we did not dally into the horse meat stuff. But yeah, yeah,
but no, square dancer was not one of them. And
I don't know that that. I always thought of square dancing,
was aware of it as more Texas southern thing rather
than just like the cowboy thing. But the line dancing

(48:26):
that was out of control, and I never really understood that.
But people looked like they were enjoying themselves. We just
went to not talk to girls, right like you go
there like twelve thirteen, and it's just it's just a
different version of the school dance where all the boys
are on one side, girls are on the other, and
we're just all like happy to be talking to their friends.

(48:46):
But then the bunch of adults line dancing.

Speaker 2 (48:48):
It's going to stand over here and be awkward.

Speaker 1 (48:50):
Yeah, hey man, that was that. I was trying to
think of all the FFA or four H stuff you could.
I wasn't in four H but I did the fa
A former vice president by the way, not to brag anyway,
all right, So uh yeah, that's what they're doing, but
at least they're not singing We'll be back. I got
lots of theories here, and again am I generalizing that

(49:11):
it's nothing but angry older women who are the pro
don't obviously not the we got lunatics and Lee Low
and Stitch jammies walking around key in Tesla's. I'm just
pointing out that, like it's the it's the the group
I understand the least because it's like, why are you
so angry?

Speaker 2 (49:31):
Why?

Speaker 1 (49:32):
And then I just I just saw that video with
the news talk there. Enjoy yourself, you know, be you know,
give money if you if you feel but like, hey,
like I don't want I want you to. And I
understand that it's stereotypeing. Throw yourself into your kids or
your grandkids or whatever. Be that grandmother that everyone loves
because they spoil people like those are some pretty good

(49:54):
things in life, right. I'm not a grandmother, never will
be obviously, uh be a grandmother, but but like, this
is your time, this is your time to shine.

Speaker 2 (50:03):
I saw the post this weekend. It was the guy
sitting in like a medical lobby, like a waiting room
a clinic or yeah, and he said so this old
guy just sits down, picks up the TV clicker and
buys Guardians of the Galaxy Too on demand and just
puts it down and starts watching. And he's like, you know,
I can't wait to be old, And that's the right, right,
doesn't even have an appointment?

Speaker 1 (50:22):
We wanted to see it? And where did I buy
the movie?

Speaker 2 (50:25):
I didn't know I'm old.

Speaker 1 (50:27):
Plus you got a steady stream of probably women in
your age coming through there, right, you see you see
somebody she didn't got a ring on it, Like, hey, Gert,
true you want to Netflix and chills. She's like, I
don't know what Netflix is. He's like, get over here, right,
So why are all of your dreams of getting older crimes?
What's up with that? Because I like your thing is

(50:48):
you want to you wanna steal movies.

Speaker 2 (50:51):
I'm just pointing out something I saw in social media.
I don't know. This isn't you know, directly related to
me and my future vision of myself.

Speaker 1 (50:59):
You think that would work over the Duke clinic over.

Speaker 2 (51:04):
But yeah, you're older, enjoy your life. Stop you know,
setting Teslas on fire whatever you're doing.

Speaker 1 (51:08):
The problem is if people find out you can do
that you're gonna somebody's gonna come in and you know
what kind of movie they're gonna order. Right, I don't
even necessarily mean it to be an elderly person. I
think it would just be some TikTok er he thinks
it's funny.

Speaker 2 (51:22):
You mean it? You mean a musical.

Speaker 1 (51:25):
Growth No, No, another genre?

Speaker 2 (51:28):
Wicked?

Speaker 1 (51:31):
Well, isn't that? Isn't that the name of one of
the companies that makes the type of movies I'm referring.
It is so yes, You're you're half right, even though
I think you meant the musical Wicked, which by the way,
is on uh. I saw that on one of my
streaming services. Unfortunately, I did not find the time to
watch it. If you guys watched it yet, ross I have,

(51:51):
I've already been made it clear. I will not watch it.
The press junkets made it. I will never watch that movie.
It's gonna be like the Karate Kild remake for me.
And once they say I'm not gonna watch a movie,
I don't watch a movie. Same with the New Captain America.
It's never gonna happen. And this is why I've never
watched Titanic. And you gotta you gotta dig in on
some of these things.

Speaker 2 (52:08):
And Marky realized this. So I streamed on Friday night
for a few hours. And while I did that, she
watched the Wicked movie in the bedroom, and I was like,
how is Wicked in the morning? And she goes, I
watched it for about an hour. I got bored, and
she's like, I got to be close to like, you know,
the end. And she looked at to see and she's like,
and there was like seven more hours left or something stupid.

Speaker 1 (52:29):
Ever, I don't I'm not gonna watch it. I can't
even check here. That might be correct, all right, So
she was not she did she was not feeling it.

Speaker 2 (52:38):
Yeah, I don't think she's gonna finish it.

Speaker 1 (52:39):
Did she see any of the press junkn insanity? She
did not.

Speaker 2 (52:43):
I tried to explain it to her, and I don't
think it properly, you.

Speaker 1 (52:46):
Know, explain how you explained that without showing somebody that
the crazy bald chick with her emotional supports, they were
crying on each other like every damn time. It was
It was such as you could look away like what now,
what why are you crying? Aren't you worth? How much money?

(53:07):
Are you worth. And now you're getting paid to sit
in the chair more than I'll make this year, and
and and you're not even talking about the thing.

Speaker 2 (53:17):
Like I said before, I might have given the movie
a shot. You know, we all we do that sometimes
as men for our women, and we watch movies who
don't necessarily want to.

Speaker 1 (53:25):
You know, I'll tell you that. I'll tell you a
movie I did watch. Uh. I watched it last Friday
on Friday, and I watched it Thursday night. Actually, but
I'm not gonna sorry, go ahead.

Speaker 2 (53:34):
And the only reason and now I won't give it
any shot is because of the weirdness that was the
press junkets. I'm not gonna do it. So I watched
the Monkey Movie, the Robbie Williams movie.

Speaker 1 (53:45):
The Robbie Williams movie. Yeah, you know what, other than
the fact that he's a monkey in it, which is
really weird, it's pretty good. I kind of like those,
like like the Freddie Mercury one that they did, even
the Elton John one, although it did have some thing
in Yeah, walk Hard was pretty good too, which one
walk Hard the yeah dude every time he pops into

(54:10):
the hotel or one of the rooms with what's the
guy's name for mesnl uh, tim Meadows, tim Meadows. You
don't want this man, But it's like a room full
of naked women and he's just having do He's like, well,
I don't want? What what on I want?

Speaker 2 (54:26):
I was reading an article back in the day. I
think it was from like Hollywood Reporter or something, one
of those magazines, and the whole premise of the article
was when that movie came out, it didn't necessarily do
well at the box office. It was sort of like
a bomb. Marky and I did see that in the theater,
and we thought certain parts were funny. But I'm also
a big fan of Johnny Cash. That was kind of
funny to see, like a Johnny Cash spoof.

Speaker 1 (54:47):
That's another but also another good movie about.

Speaker 2 (54:49):
Yeah yeah, but the Walk the Line. Yeah. But the
other thing is this movie it completely destroyed that genre
of film because it did spoof that genre of film
very well, where they all sort of have the same
sort of framework and the way they tell the story.
And they said, you know, after this movie came out,
you stopped seeing a decline of these sort of movies,
these music biopics, because of how badly they were spoofed.

(55:14):
They couldn't make it because now it looked like they
were making like a Dewey Cox movie.

Speaker 1 (55:17):
Well, and the other probably run into too is a
lot of those movies. I don't know if the Williams
one was the family of the artist right has such
tight control or in some cases the artist is still alive.
And it's clear that you're not getting the story story right.

(55:37):
And the thing the problem they had with Robbie Williams is,
and I believe we talked about this on the area
is some of you are going, who's Robbie Williams? And
that's that's okay. I'm sure you know. I'm trying to
think of his biggest hit. What's the one DJ? I
don't want to I don't want a rock and roller whatever.

(55:58):
I can't remember the name of the song, like you've
heard the songs. But Robbie Williams was never really big
in the US. And so because remember didn't they have
an article where they're like this it was great, this
did great in the UK but bombed in the US.
How did that happen? And it's like, I don't know
a lot of people don't know who Robbi Williams is
and you made him a monkey. You made him a
monkey in the Yeah.

Speaker 2 (56:18):
The people in the UK were shocked that we didn't
know who he was. I believe I played one of
his songs in my entire music radio career around yeah,
either one I just.

Speaker 1 (56:26):
Referenced, yeah, yeah, but the But from a movie standpoint,
I found it very interesting. I kind of and I
knew who Robbie Williams was, and you know, so it
was it was fire. The monkey thing was just so weird, man,
And it was a little nostalgic because he's interacted with
a bunch of people who were you know, artists who
did who were well known in the US, or were

(56:47):
one hit wonders kind of themselves. But we're out of
the UK that I just had to realize, we're out
of the UK, And so you get kind of that
nostalgia reference to songs that you may have heard. Yeah,
but you made him a monkey. I don't get it.
So but I didn't have that on my would not
watch list. I just just was like board flipping through.
I'm like, all right, what the heck? And it was
it was when I was doing prep, so I'm only

(57:08):
half paying attention. But once I was done with the
prep man then I'm just I was plugged in on
that thing pretty good. So there you go. All right,
how are we doing this today? You have to let
me know when you know. We're creeping up on our
weather forecast here, and we got some weather to talk about,
for sure. We'll get into that all right. Uh oh,

(57:29):
I don't even have to do the phone. What's up there? Hello? Check? Check?
One two? One two? Check?

Speaker 4 (57:34):
Where are you come home? Okay, So I figured so
we're better there. Well, like I said, I figured it
all out. Well, I'm going to try next time I
have to go into the office. I'm going to try
a different studio because I think some of those buttons
and all that there's a lot of crackling when you
turn the knot.

Speaker 1 (57:51):
So yeah, I think it's I'm gonna have to put
it in the old Marty up. You know. It goes.

Speaker 4 (57:55):
Yeah, it's like crazy take forever. They'll be like, oh
you guys still come in. Let's go No, not really, but.

Speaker 1 (58:02):
Move the antenna. It'll be fine. We can do that too. Yeah.
All right, well, and we actually got some weather to
talk about. Yeah, we do. There we go, we do,
and it's just like when you give feedback. Right.

Speaker 4 (58:15):
I don't know if you're ever manager Casey, but you
always give the good first, right, you leave with the
positive feedbat and you follow up well, yeah, I didn't
want to really go there, but since you wanted to
get painted with that brush, okay, but let's go with it.
The rain is needed, We're going to clear out the
atmosphere help with the wildfires. But what's coming with that

(58:35):
is the chance of severe storms. Already, looking at radar
to the west of US, some showers getting into Ashville
and some of the hardest hit areas with wildfire, even
into extreme western South Carolina, but those storms aren't severe.
So might get a shower or two here later this
morning into at least the early afternoon. But it's later today,
probably after three o'clock from west to east, so tryad triangle.

(58:57):
This next line of storms will come in right now
through Alabama. I'm in Mississippi and Louisiana. You've got severe
thunderstorm warnings and a couple of tornado warnings, three of
them right now on that line. So we will have
that chance of some severe weather, which would include a
small risk of a tornado too. So gonna be a
rough afternoon. Hopefully we managed to get through the afternoon commute.

(59:19):
I think to the west, there's a better chance that
by six seven o'clock we're wrapping it up, but still
on our guard, we'll get up close to eighty with
sun and clouds. Otherwise tonight we'll drop into the fifties
and the storms will end that We're gonna look pretty
good for Tuesday Wednesday. Near seventy degrees Tuesday and sunny
and a nice northwest breeze. Beautiful day coming in for
the first of April already, and then forties at night

(59:40):
and Wednesday partial sun, little mid seventies. But how about this,
We're gonna make a run later in the week to
the low to mid eighties Thursday, and maybe close to
ninety for some of us on Friday as some milder air.
So much milder air is going to come in for
the first few days of April, and it should stay
dry the weekend. There might be some showers around, but
casey kind of get a little touch here. Late spring

(01:00:02):
triangle especially a better chance at ninety will be well
into the eighties, though for Friday and for the upcoming weekend.

Speaker 1 (01:00:08):
So how are you feeling about all the number ones.

Speaker 4 (01:00:12):
Well, obviously, the men's I really don't have a chance
because I had Saint John's Clemson in the finals, so
that's not going to work. But I did have Duke
in Auburn I think in the final four, but somebody
in the family. Yeah, yeah, I know, I know. But
but the women's I've got all final four teams.

Speaker 1 (01:00:32):
I got all four of them, So I mean, what
do you but the fact that they're all number one seeds.
I guess yeah, I know.

Speaker 4 (01:00:38):
You know, part of me started to when we do
the sixty four thing and then the playing games and
all that, it's it started getting me into the thought
about the football playoff, and you know, I know it's different,
but I was kind of saying to myself, well, who
we expected to be there was there, and there were blowouts,
and I don't know, I was kind of thinking, like

(01:00:58):
fla down by ten with just a few I was saying,
like in the initial you know, you come in through
the first couple of rounds and to eliminate some teams
and I don't know, it doesn't get the same kind
of scrutiny that the first year of the college playoff
football thing did but it's different. But I was I
don't know that for some reason that thought crossed my mind,
and you know you ended up with should have been there?

(01:01:19):
Does that make it any fun? I don't know, doesn't
you know it doesn't.

Speaker 1 (01:01:24):
I want to see I want to see some team
nobody's thought about forever. He's got a nun standing on
the side, right, making a round like exactly, and we
didn't get that. But in the men's I kind of,
like I want to say, I do kind of like Auburn.
I do like Alburn. Okay, all right, well they played Florida, right, yeah,
they played Florida and then they played Florida.

Speaker 2 (01:01:45):
Ok yeah, and then you kind of having the women.

Speaker 1 (01:01:48):
So wow, that's you know, that's a pretty good guest
most years. So yeah, been my been my understanding. All right,
thank you, Mitch, appreciate, sure, ye, and we will be
right back hanging the Wall Street Journal stuff were talking
about earlier where they're like, Maga thinks that Europeans are nothing.
But what was the headline hold on that they think
Europeans are nothing but a progressive latt sipping progressives. I

(01:02:14):
can't imagine where they get that. But as soon as
when I said those words, reading that article, yeah here
we go, Maga Republicans to Europe is full of latte
sipping progressives, you immediately envision I'm assuming some French dude
with a weird mustache, send in one of those little
cafe outside tables, get his pinky out in his little
espresso cup, judging you right, Yeah, I don't forget about

(01:02:35):
the vespa. Oh yeah, yeah, there's a vespa sitting there.
He's gonna go zoom away on a little later, back
to his job where she works thirty two hours a
week and then goes. Americans just don't have it figured out.
It's like, all right to your taxes, bro, So yeah,
is that everybody? No? And I've met a ton of

(01:02:56):
nice people in my travels all all my life, but
for the but when it comes to the politics, that's
an apt description of the politics. Those smug How how
many smug EU people jacking with Elon Musk are there
right now right where they're like, oh, how enraged? The
first time did you get when you got a message

(01:03:17):
from Twitter that you get flagged in Germany for something
you tweeted? Wait? Wait, I'm sorry what what does it
say ross You ever see those? Yeah, no, go, that's
a standard or something. I've gotten them before and just
laugh at him. You're like, okay, I'm like, oh, the
Germans are mad again, which you know, a hundred years
ago used to mean something, right, you know what the

(01:03:38):
German's mad at you in the nineteen thirties forties. Now
it's like, what are you gonna do? You know why?
Because when I think when you say German, I think
of Michael Myers's character from the SNL Skid. Oh you
think of Sprockets sprockets Man. And it's just and that's

(01:03:58):
not fair. I know. I know German people right and
even but they're self deprecating too. They're like the least
fun in a business environment ever. Anyone who's ever done
business with a German company. They're so straight laced Man.

Speaker 2 (01:04:10):
But that's why they're really good at making stuff like
mechanically right, yes.

Speaker 1 (01:04:14):
Her and and and it's and Germans will self deprecate
themselves too if they're really honest with you, if you
get to know them, so that's fine. And yeah, people
have stereotypes and it's not that they think this, it's
that we have people in the US who want that
to be you know, how things work, and that's what
scares me because then I see stories like what happened
to these parents in the United Kingdom, and I I

(01:04:39):
was trying to do a lot of research on this
because I'm like, there has to be something more here,
and I don't think there is. So imagine this scenario.
You're a parent. You're a parent of a kid who
you do not feel the school that they're in is
doing the best job of educating. Now, don't get me wrong.

(01:05:01):
Some parents are delusional, right They're like, oh, no, this,
it needs to be this and or you're not doing
this and they're like, man, well we don't have there's
no way we could do that individually for all the
kids or any of the rest. But for the most part,
most people in an education environment like your kids teacher,
and you know they're going to have their own thoughts,
but you know they they want they want an environment

(01:05:24):
where the parents are involved. I told you I dated
a teacher and her biggest thing was for kids who
were struggling around. The CUSP is the absolute ignoring of
every communication that she would send to parents, And it
really like she was a new teacher when when we
were going out, and it really sapped her man and

(01:05:44):
she couldn't fathom in I mean, she knew what was up.
She taught in a district that was you know, had
a lot of had a lot of challenges from a
from a test score standpoint, and and she was cool
with that, but she taught ap We get into our
number three. Glad to have you along, and unfortunately this

(01:06:05):
is the story that I have to hit you with.
Maybe you saw some of this over the weekend, but
the tweets that I saw go real viral over this
are leaving out a lot of information and not in
a nefarious way, but like, the whole story is even
crazier once you dig into it. And it's a video
of like a ring, doorbell camera or whatever on this home.

(01:06:25):
It's in the UK, and all of a sudden, here
come police and not just one, not just six police officers.
So if you see six police officers, big show of
force rolling up on a door, roz, if you see that,
it's like six officers, you know, running up to your

(01:06:45):
neighbor's house today, what are you assuming, right? There's bodies
in there? Drugs or bodies yeah, drugs or bodies right,
or or parents chet group right? That was probably the
third thing, right, drugs bodies, parents check group for your
kids school.

Speaker 2 (01:07:01):
I mean, what are they discussing like terrorism.

Speaker 1 (01:07:04):
They're discussing the hiring of a new headmaster and whether
it should be an internal or external process.

Speaker 2 (01:07:11):
So not exactly terrorism.

Speaker 1 (01:07:13):
Well, according to some of the school officials who saw
the WhatsApp chat group, you know, or statements from it,
it hurt their feelings and so they called police and
that's how we got here. So we don't have the
exact messages.

Speaker 2 (01:07:29):
And but.

Speaker 1 (01:07:33):
Like there doesn't seem to be dispute that it was
that discussion that caused the people to have their feel
their feel feels hurt. And so the parents were critical
of the school. They felt that their child's primary school.
And I think they have have a nine year old
issue nine or eleven the kidding question. Well, I got

(01:07:57):
to flip back over this other story here. Nine year old,
she's nine eleven is the number of hours they sat
in a holding cell. So that's why I conflated those numbers.
So they have a nine year old daughter. The daughter
has some challenges, she has a she has a physical illness.
I'm not sure exactly what it is, just described as

(01:08:19):
physical as well as she is, she deals with a
pretty substantial autism of some sort. And so the parents
just didn't feel at the school. And I don't know,
maybe maybe they emailed too much. It sounds like they
emailed a lot, but they weren't even email in the

(01:08:39):
school in this case. But it definitely got him on
the radar. And so as part of a chat group
with a bunch of parents from the school in this
WhatsApp thing which most Americans don't use, but it's you know,
it's a Facebook owns it, I think. Now, So whatever,
they were talking about the process of hiring the new

(01:09:00):
master at the school. And if you're a parent who
already thinks that leadership at your school is not getting
the job done, and they tell you that the new
person in charge will be one of the people you
already think isn't getting the job done, you're gonna have
some thoughts on that, aren't you? Or you just ross
whenever they at some of your kids' school. Do you

(01:09:21):
just ignore it as a parent, or do you guys
like actively converse about it, you and your wife and go,
I don't know, is this gonna be good or bad? Okay, no,
you think about that, Yeah, we definitely do, yes, absolutely,
So they got some thoughts and it wasn't positive about that,
and they clearly clearly are we're willing to be open
or as a private group, but it's still with other

(01:09:41):
parents about their concerns, and that prompted some of the
other parents to go this, yeah, you're right, and so
they send emails as well to members of the school's
committee whoever's handling this, and the school was like, ah,
where is this coming from? And then they tracked it
back to really these too kind of I don't know,

(01:10:02):
informing other parents of their concerns, and then other parents going, yeah,
that is a concern, and it just started to swell.
So the first thing they did was ban them from
school property. And they're like, the last time we were
at the school was like at the beginning of the
year for you know, whatever they do at the beginning
of the year. The parents thing, we haven't even been

(01:10:22):
to the school thing, but they banned them. Okay, so
I guess they don't have like school drop off there.
It's different. I don't know. I honestly I know nothing
about British schools, except they still do the uniforms thing.

Speaker 2 (01:10:35):
A lot, right, and they sort them in their houses
with this hat that they put on their head, just
just a regular hat or well, no it's a it's
an enchanted talking hat. Okay, it's a British thing.

Speaker 1 (01:10:48):
Do they just have one or do all schools have
their own or.

Speaker 2 (01:10:52):
I don't know about all the schools.

Speaker 1 (01:10:54):
How do the kids get the school on a bus?

Speaker 2 (01:10:56):
Or well, first they take a train. After they jump
into the love trains over in here, they jump into
the portal in the Losory wall and a train takes
them to school. And then from there they got little
boats that take them into the the main hall there.

Speaker 1 (01:11:09):
What do they do a recess? Rightly? Kickball or something
or you.

Speaker 2 (01:11:12):
Know, it's weird. Man, it's a different place.

Speaker 1 (01:11:14):
Okay, but there's no dangerous things that could hurt the child,
of course not okay, that was always the part of
the movie. Why would you said your kid at this school? Man? Right?
I mean now life crime is an issue at regular schools.
This one has like things that will eat you.

Speaker 2 (01:11:31):
This is my sort of tangent. I love that they
put them on detention, They send them into the forbidden force,
where they could everything could murder them.

Speaker 1 (01:11:37):
Yeah, well hey tough love man AnyWho. Yeah, but none
of them ever get murdered or disappeared, right, Nah, Okay,
that's good. That's good stuff, all right. So anyway, uh
so Ross has laid it out, so maybe that'll add
to it. So anyway, these six officers roll up. Now,
you got to understand, and I pointed this out, not

(01:11:58):
just you know, to it's still more sympathy in them
for their child obviously dealing with these issues. But I
want you to now put yourself in that child's shoes
as six officers are rolling up taking your parents into
custody because the kid was not dealing with According to
the report, the child started screaming and powering and hiding

(01:12:20):
in the corner as mom and dad were being arrested
and just screaming her head off. She's having it, she's
having a meltdown because all this that's crazy. I mean,
any kid would probably be visibly upset. But then you
couple it with already you know, an issue along those
lines where everything is all suddenly differently. You don't understand
what's going on. I can't imagine what that child.

Speaker 2 (01:12:42):
So it's a special needs like on the spectrum student. Yes,
it's awful, it's terrible.

Speaker 1 (01:12:47):
Oh yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:12:47):
So yeah, you've got the police sirens and the loud
noises and the knocking and they're dragging your parents away
and yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:12:53):
The parents were eventually held at a police station for
eleven hours, and it's told, but not specific, that the
charges had stemmed from an ongoing police investigation into quote
malicious communications, harassment, and causing nuisance on school property, which
they then pointed out like, we haven't even been on.

Speaker 2 (01:13:12):
The property, but they're paying taxes for the school, right
they should be able to have an opinion on it.

Speaker 1 (01:13:17):
Yeah, And it's like that's not that crazy. Like if
you thought leadership was bad and you were just going
to take somebody else in the already bad group of
leaders and not consider outside, can that was their beef.
They're just like, can we look for some outside candidates
because like, you're all not getting it done. That's what
got their feelings hurt.

Speaker 2 (01:13:33):
Right, So they're not like fire bombing the school or
anything like we were making the joke about terrorism whatever.
They're just saying, hey, we were not sure about this
new head master whatever, and the school is like we're
going to the police department. It's like we're going to rescue.

Speaker 1 (01:13:43):
They were red pilling people. I don't know if red
pill is the right answer here, but they were. They
were leading the charge. Were they literally had people whose
opinions change and cause them to become active because they
made an argument. They made an argument. The police won't
tell them specifically the parts, and they're not told anybody
because after five weeks this happened five weeks ago, they

(01:14:05):
announced this week you know what, Yeah, nothing, you didn't
do anything.

Speaker 2 (01:14:10):
Not only is this going to silence O their parents though,
because they don't want the police rolling O they and
that is the point, let's be honest, Yeah, but also
it's going to do the same thing for the students.
I mean sometimes you know, a student will have an
opinion or talk back or feedback and stuff. But they're like,
they arrested the parents. I'm going to shut up here
and be like a loyal drone and not say a
damn word thing is crazy anything? And that, like you said,

(01:14:30):
that's the intention.

Speaker 1 (01:14:32):
According to the Herfordshire Herfordshire Police, the arrests were quote
necessary to fully investigate the allegations. Well the allegations are
literally in print and clear. And also if it's a
private parent group, that also means that there's some parents
someone in that group had to provide these two school officials.

(01:14:56):
It's described as a private parent group, So they didn't
even know what the actual stuff was in there. I'm
sure they realized from some of the communications they were
getting what was up, but the actual verbiage apparently the
school got so.

Speaker 2 (01:15:08):
Right, or the school infiltrated the group right.

Speaker 1 (01:15:13):
Well, maybe the National Security advisor shouldn't added him so
but yeah, but yeah, no, this was and again it wasn't.
It wasn't they were going to prosecute him. I mean
maybe they wanted to eventually, but no, this was about
putting people on notice they shut up, and they're shut up.
Beatings will continue till morale improves. And you're seeing a

(01:15:37):
lot of that. What was the thing we were talking about?

Speaker 5 (01:15:39):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (01:15:39):
Yeah, were you literally had some white politician over there
talking about how he can't wait to more aggressively prosecute
white people over you know, you know, social media stuff
and I mean, what are you talking about? And then
there were some criminal stuff like I know, I have
no problem with you prosecuting people throughout their committing crimes. Obviously,

(01:16:00):
I think the social media stuff's insane, But why would
you say it that way? That's what a weird mask
off kind of way to say that that is, that's chilling, man.
And then going in and uh, you know, like you're
doing a high risk no knock warrant on these parents
in front of their kid, who, like, do you not
have any sympathy? I'm assuming the arresting officers have some

(01:16:23):
semblance of an idea what's going on? Right, and so
they have to know that you're arresting these parents in
front of their nine year old, but both parents too.
I don't even know. I don't know how what happened
with the kids there. I guess maybe a relative grab
the kids. But and and this kid's having a meltdown.

(01:16:45):
And if you know what's going on, how do you
how do you deal with yourself arresting somebody for a
parents Facebook chat or WhatsApp chat? And and the the
absolute terror you're causing this kid, like do you go later?
You probably drink a lot, I'm assuming, so you to
cope with it a lot of following orders, not a

(01:17:09):
lot of thinking there, Man, dude and the woman in
the subway. He's a younger guy, I don't know, early twenties.
I think he's described twenty two or twenty three, and
she's and they're on the subway at first, and she's
berating him because he's wearing a Maga hat, and a
lot of people just saw the aftermath because it's the
one where then, for whatever reason, they get off the subway.

(01:17:30):
He's going to wherever he's going. He's just being normal
and he turns around and this woman is on his
tail and she reaches to try to steal his Maga hat,
and he speeds up, and then there's the video where
she starts chasing him and then she just face plants
on the ground. Is wildly satisfying because she's a lunatic.
She's an absolute lunatic. In fact, we do have a

(01:17:51):
little audio some of this you can't and again it's
hard to hear, but if you watch the longer piece,
like she's being so obnoxious to this dude that even
the other people on this subway are like, you're a
quit yelling at him, psycho.

Speaker 2 (01:18:05):
She's his face and calling him a racist and stuff,
and he's like, how I'm a racist.

Speaker 1 (01:18:09):
I'm just he's not a white dude. It's best I
can tell, or he might be partially white dude. He
definitely looks as though he is, you know, ethnically not right.

Speaker 2 (01:18:18):
No, he looks at her in the longer cut, and
he's like, how can I be racist? Look at me?

Speaker 1 (01:18:22):
Yeah? Yeah, But she's like, oh, you're wearing that hat.
It's the worst thing ever. And then you know this,
this short chase ensued, which should not go well for it.
Let me just play a little lottionger. I hope good
on the New Yorker's excited over what they just witnessed too.

(01:18:45):
That's great, Like, well, we can't attack anybody if they
want to. But then, all right, so how old did
you think that woman was when you first saw that video.

Speaker 2 (01:18:55):
I don't know, like mid thirties, forties.

Speaker 1 (01:18:57):
Yeah, I didn't think she's in her mid fifties. Like,
you almost have to respect the effort thinking you're going
to chase down some twenty two year old dude. Forget
the fact that men are statistically faster than women, and
he looked to be in a lot better shape than
she is. I'm not even knocking on her in that
like at fifty five, I'm almost impressed you thought you
could do it. Clearly you couldn't, right you definitely, you

(01:19:21):
definitely you know, got over your skis on that one.
But that and and just to make it more obnoxious,
she is a dual Italian American citizen. Great, and what
do you think you can't I don't even know that
they can cancel her in the traditional way. I guess
if people wanted to do that, because she is a

(01:19:43):
freelance creative director and branding specialist for luxury. She's a
luxury influencer branding person.

Speaker 2 (01:19:51):
That's got to be a good record.

Speaker 1 (01:19:53):
Oh yeah, what does that even mean? I mean maybe
in fact she has done, she's done. I hate all
the terms in this stuff where two accounts could collab
or where they I hate that term. By the way,
this is why when they started, Remember when they some
of the company were like, we do radio endorsements, are like, nah,

(01:20:15):
you're an influencer. I'm like, I don't want to be
associated with a lot of the folks.

Speaker 2 (01:20:18):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:20:18):
No.

Speaker 2 (01:20:19):
I put out a poll that said, how do you
feel about the word influencer, and like, yeah, ninety eight
percent of the people are applying an X or like
it's a negative term, right, Yeah, that.

Speaker 1 (01:20:26):
Was That was my point, not that all people who
are influencers are necessarily negative or people who do endorsements
and that's a little self serving, but like, but that's
their only thing. That'd be like if Ross and I
came in and instead of doing a show, we would
just read our endorsement spots for three hours, that sounds good,
But I'm only going to do luxury yeah products, Ross
is like what you're pipping? What Bugatti is.

Speaker 2 (01:20:48):
Yeah, they tried to give me to do the lower
end Bugatti and it's like, I can't. It's bad for
my brain. They can't do it because I'm a luxury influencer.

Speaker 1 (01:20:56):
Can you imagine no being a Bugatti poor Nope. I
don't even know what the low and bagattis, but like, yeah,
what a great racket. Luckily, the world kept spinning and
insane people kept doing insane things, like lawmakers in California
who proposed a new healthcare law, the law which I'll

(01:21:18):
tell you the name of here in a moment. And
by the way, this would be a ballot measure actually,
because they love ballot measures in California. That was one
of the craziest things. I wasn't really familiar with it
in Wyoming, but the first election I ever got to
vote in it was in calis in California, so I
turned eighteen. And then they have like pages of ballot measures,
which I kind of like, but then California would do

(01:21:41):
the thing where they would just ignore them, like they
did a ballot measure. Remember we were talking about all
the fires there here recently, and they did a ballot
measure like a long time ago that basically because citizens
were sick of their not being water anywhere, especially when
they wanted to I don't know, drake or their lawn
and then or a fire, and so they literally the

(01:22:05):
majority voted to build reservoirs, and they then proceeded to
not build any reservoirs or fill many of the reservoirs
because you know, the delta smelt or whatever. The stupid
fish's name is just craziness. So then they started ignoring him.
And it's not that cool anymore. But this one be

(01:22:28):
on there, and it would make it illegal for an
insurance company to delay, deny, or modify, which is a
little bit of a play on words, which I'll explain here,
But basically, it would make it illegal for an insurance
company to delay, deny, or modify any medical procedure or
medication recommended by a doctor if there could be serious

(01:22:51):
consequences including disability, death, amputation, permanent disfigurement, loss, a reduction
of any bodily functions. So it's very broad. And look,
don't get me wrong, how many people have not been
frustrated dealing with an insurance company. But what makes this crazy?
If it was just that, that would be very california

(01:23:11):
e right. I don't know how that works in practical application,
except maybe to raise insurance rates and or have people
not sell insurance in certain markets, as has become normal
in California for property coverage and fire. You know, any
policies dealing with fire. A lot of companies won't issue
policies in certain places. That's what they were complaining about

(01:23:33):
in LA. The name of this, though, are you ready?
The Luigi Mangioni Access to Healthcare Act. That's right. They
named it after the dude who's accused of shooting the
United Healthcare CEO. They named the bill for him. I understand,

(01:23:57):
And we talked about this the other day. One of
the things that you can do if you're not in
power is you can go and you put bad bills out,
like you know, we just had I think Democrats in
North Carolina submitted one hundred and sixty some bills sixty
one or something by the bill file deadline, which is fine.
And they're not all crazy, by the way, There's a

(01:24:17):
lot of them are just normal Democrat policies, you know,
real things that if you ask me what I think
they think of this issue, well, from a platform standpoint,
they probably think this, and then you have bills to
represent that, and some of them you may even go somewhere.
But then you get the other ones who are like,
we need twenty two dollars minimum wage? Do you statewide?

(01:24:40):
Do you do you think that you think that helps
and more than it hurts, especially when you get out
of the metrost, I mean, let alone in the metros,
you think that that's sustainable in Chatham County I'm not
picking on Chatham, I'm just pointing or Rockingham County do
you think do you do you think a twenty two

(01:25:01):
dollars minimum wage in Eden, which is a city of
our tower, city of License. All right, And I'm not
picking on Eden, I'm just pointing out the twenty two
dollars an hour in Eden with with all of the
economic turmoil that that city has dealt with over the years,
from the from the plant two different plants, right, but
the brewery there and and everything, and they just had

(01:25:24):
something else shut. Do you think that twenty two dollars
is sustainable for Eden's economy? What would that do to
small businesses to destroy it? But it didn't matter because
you could just go ahead and file it and then
a bunch of people who probably don't put in a
lot of effort at work can go. Yeah, that's exactly
how that should work for entry level positions, let alone.

(01:25:46):
Probably the twenty two dollars in Eden, for it is
that'd be that'd be a pretty good wage. I keep
using Eden, but pick any other small town, pick financially
impacted areas of the state. How many of how many
towns North Carolina have you driven through where downtown is
essentially empty? It's essentially empty and they're struggling to get

(01:26:09):
you know, businesses to set up there. And there there
are some success stories right where it's a you just
had to kind of go in a new direction. I
think Sanford's done a great job of this. And and
so you sit there and you see this stuff, and
it's like, in practical application, this would be a nightmare.
The difference is in California, Democrats are in charge, and
the majority of voters tend to vote for stuff they

(01:26:32):
put up there. So this isn't even just you trying
to like physically, you know, screw with your political opponents.
And and and that's just the insanity of this. Oh,
we're gonna go ahead, and uh, we're gonna name it
the Luigi MANGIONI access to Healthcare like that should be
they should not You should not be a legislator anymore.

(01:26:55):
The hell is wrong with you? And what other? What other? Uh?
And I understand he is cues murderer, but let's let's
just operate under the assumption that you know, he's convicted
one day, All right, fine, whatever, But what other murderers
can we craft bills for with their name on there
so that we can sound as equally insane. Oh, we're gonna,

(01:27:16):
we're gonna, we're gonna take some more food ingredients and
say tell everyone that caused cancers, he can't have them.
It's part of our and then you know, pick Jeffrey Dahmer,
the new Jeffrey Dahmer Food Safety Act. Right, gotta be
careful what you eat? Man, No, no, it's all all

(01:27:36):
like this is something far different. It's just kind of
sad man that somebody thought this was a good idea.
All right? What is it? By the way, what is
the obsession now with the media and rolelexes? Am I
missing something?

Speaker 5 (01:27:53):
Like?

Speaker 1 (01:27:54):
So Baron Trump had a rolex? On? I assume Baron
Trump has nine Rolexes? Is that wrong with me? I
don't have any ross you have any Rolexes? How's your
rolex collection doing now that you're a luxury Bugatti influencer?

Speaker 2 (01:28:09):
Yeah, it's not with me today. Oh not today.

Speaker 1 (01:28:11):
I'm just focusing on the Bugatti telling me you're gonna
show it, you know, and then you keep forgetting me tomorrow.
It's today. Tomorrow's the day, all right? So like, yeah,
Baron Trump spotted Sunday afternoon sporting a Rolex But all right,
didn't he just have his birthday? And now he made
that transition into into college too, Like would it? Would

(01:28:35):
I be shocked if Donald Trump bought his son a
Rolex when he graduated high school and and I like
some people, some families do that. Right you graduate college,
they get you a nice watch or whatever. But like,
why are you obsessed with the son of a billionaire
having a rolelex. Yeah, I don't have a role x.

(01:28:55):
I'm not mad at him that he does. I do
have a brightling not to brag a lot cheaper in
a rolex. And it was part of a deal that
I did with for a radio thing.

Speaker 2 (01:29:05):
But I got a bro Lix. You have a what
a bro Lix?

Speaker 1 (01:29:09):
What do I want to know? Where'd you get a Chinatown?
Did you know by the way that China is copying
some They will do knockoffs of watches that are so
good there's still thousands of dollars.

Speaker 2 (01:29:23):
Yeah, and people will like intentionally go and buy them.

Speaker 1 (01:29:26):
Yeah, there's a I can't know what they're called, but
it's like kind of the code word if you go
to some of the online shopping sites and they're but
there's such quality knockoffs that they still cost thousands. And
then they got mad at Christy Nome, who was now
although to be fair, it was a funny setting because
this is right. Here's what I tell anyone. If you're
gonna go if you're gonna go travel anywhere that has
a lot of crime, right to be first world, third world, whatever,

(01:29:48):
but you know crime is part of it. Or they're
just at the tourist destinations. They all like, if you
go to Italy and you you're getting there will be
a pickpocket within five feet of you. Most of the
time you're in a public area. It's crazy bad over there.
That being said, I one of the things I'll tell
people is don't wear jewelry out You have no reason

(01:30:10):
to wear it out right because you know, you go
walking around and you know, and and and I mean
then like, well, I got my watch, get yourself a
cheap watch, have it with you. You don't want anything,
you want anything on that now. And they were like,
because she's in El Salvador wearing a Daytona. By the way,

(01:30:30):
you know he's obsessed with Daytona's is Kevin Campbell Man.
He he's a lot of people are obsessed with Daytona's
particular rolelegs. They're not cheap at all, They're very very
popular thing. Some guys are watch guys. So she's wearing
a Daytona while she's touring that El Savadori in prison, like, oh,
can you believe her? And I'm like, what do they get?

(01:30:52):
Nobody's gonna steal it from her. Have you seen have
you seen the amount of guards to prisoner ratio and
how they even move them down there. I don't think
she's getting mugged at the prison. Oh well, how would
she wear I'm less concerned that Christy Nome, who comes
from a little bit of money, by the way, as
does Baron Trump. I don't know if you're aware of this.

(01:31:12):
I'm less concerned that they have a rolex than when
I watched that active graph of the standard and poorst
s and P five hundred versus the the investments by
members of Congress, and the two numbers are not even close.
And now people are multi millionaires who make one hundred
and seventy thousand dollars a year and live in one
of the most expensive cities in the country for half

(01:31:34):
the year. I'm more upset with that than Christy Nome
having a Daytona and they're like, she was wearing it
to mock the prisoners in there. What are you talking about?
You know what was harder for the prisoners in there
than seeing that she had a Daytona, the fact that

(01:31:56):
they're seeing a pretty good looking woman for a while,
probably for the first time in so it's gonna be okay.
All right, let's get rased agic from the weather Channel
because I went along there because I'm evil. All right,
real quick, buddy, what do you got? Yeah? You got yeah? Yeah.
I think for the morning hours are in good shape.

Speaker 4 (01:32:12):
Clouds, there are some breaks in the overcast, but the
rain chance mid to late afternoon from west to east,
the severe weather chance that's when it will be storms
may have in some spots some strong gusty winds and
hal even than the risk of a tornado, but it's
not high, but it's not zero. The good news we
do get some rain to the west, especially there may
be up to an inch or more of rainfall and

(01:32:33):
some of the heavier downpours suns back midweek Tuesday Wednesday
look good as we get into April seventy or just above,
especially by Wednesday, and then it looks like it's gonna
get a little warm and hotter toward the end of
the weekend of the eighties up maybe even a run
at ninety, especially in and around the Triangle. By about Friday, Casey,
So today's the day, this afternoon or early tonight, especially
for severe weather. I think it's gonna be pretty tranquil

(01:32:54):
as we get into the month of April tomorrow and
beyond that for the rest of the week.

Speaker 1 (01:32:58):
Okay, all right now, you sir appreciate it. We'll come
back with Jeff Bellinger next thing in old.

Speaker 2 (01:33:03):
Morning, Casey.

Speaker 5 (01:33:03):
Wall Street has one last trading session left in March,
and investors are no doubt happy to see the month end.
It's on track to be the worst month for stocks
in more than two years. The major averages saw losses
of between one point seven percent and two point seven
percent on Friday. Uncertainty over tariffs and worries about inflation
and consumer confidence have been drags on the market. Many

(01:33:26):
investors have moved money into precious medals. They're searching for
safe havens. The price of gold top thirty one hundred
dollars an ounce for the first time today. Stock market
futures have been lower all morning. Right now, the Dow
futures are down two hundred and sixty seven points. The
online mortgage provider Rocket is buying mister Cooper, a financial
services company that specializes and loans for single family homes.

(01:33:50):
It's a deal valued at close to nine and a
half billion dollars. The combined company will be a giant
and the mortgage industry responsible for one in every six
home loans and the uns and this deal comes less
than a month after Rocket announced it was buying Redfinn
Apple never without a lot of things on the drawing board.
Our Mark German reports the iPhone maker is preparing for,

(01:34:12):
among other things, a push into healthcare. He says the
company plans to roll out a new app and an
artificial intelligence assisted doctor service. Apple's current health app is
not all that's sophisticated. And Casey a Working Man was
the weekend's number one movie. Comcast estimates the film from
Amazon MGM Studios took in more than fifteen million dollars

(01:34:35):
in the first three days of release.

Speaker 1 (01:34:37):
Casey Oh No, snow White fell off.

Speaker 5 (01:34:39):
Huh yeah, fell to second place with about fourteen million dollars.

Speaker 1 (01:34:43):
By the way, the rumor on the street was on Friday,
you weren't here because you were in a day spaginny
Manni's and petties. Is that true? No, no, no truth
to that at all. Nobody saw me and that's my story,
and I'm sticking to it. His rumors get started, maybe
because I just did it. All right, okay, all right,
have a good day, have a good one, all right?

(01:35:04):
Oh did you think I wouldn't ask about it? After
what Danielle the chick on Friday said? Isn't that what
she said? Ross that he was just like goes to
a I don't know, she said Manny's and petties. I
kind of inserted that, but wasn't that. Wasn't that what
she was saying, like Jeff goes and takes a spaw
day or something. I didn't know if it was true
or not, so I thought i'd ask, all right, So

(01:35:24):
I just saw this. Apparently, so this dude they arrested
for burning that Tesla dealership is this is literally how
they describe him as a communist filmmaker. What is that?

Speaker 2 (01:35:39):
What does that mean?

Speaker 1 (01:35:40):
Like?

Speaker 2 (01:35:40):
So he makes communist propaganda documentaries or does you like
the Triumph of the Will guy or what communist? It
just makes movies?

Speaker 1 (01:35:50):
And I'm trying to it says here because there's this
one little statement from him. His name is Paul Kim.
I'm not restarting that. Why have I mean, why is
this computer? Want me to re start everything? Go away?
All right? Anyway. He is described as a cinematographer videographer
who enjoys going all across I'm gonna read the quote,

(01:36:10):
going all across the West coast to help tell his
clients' stories through a communist lens.

Speaker 2 (01:36:18):
No only eat my movies.

Speaker 1 (01:36:21):
We'll tell you that you're gonna eat. Right. There's tons
of food inside. Come on in and then nobody's getting fed. Yeah,
by the way, jeez, And this guy's no joke. By
the way, he not only is a communist filmmaker and
seen on videos, what is he's knocking these security cameras
out with three hundred blackout? It looks like they're shooting

(01:36:43):
security cameras out. And why is that? Because in addition
to be a comedy filmmaker and a bunch of members
of the Rush Revolutionary Communist International and Hidden Palestine whatever
that is, is that where they hide under the hospital
for their command center. Is that what you mean? He
also is uh former head of the Socialist Rifle Association.

(01:37:05):
M wait, there's a comedy rifle like an NRA knockoff,
but for commies. And don't get me wrong, dude. Dude's
probably security cameras a distance, so he's not not had
some you know, work to improve his shooting.

Speaker 2 (01:37:22):
We're gonna give you guns and then take them away.

Speaker 1 (01:37:25):
Oh no, Well what they do is they give you guns,
but they'll be so busted, like they'll explode and kill you,
which is which was a big problem back in the
the Russia dealt with at one point, and Germany did,
but that was more about sabotage and ammunition by the
people that they were trying to murder, so
