Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
It is six oh six, it is Monday. It is
the Monday after Easter. And if you're just waking up
this morning, the big story is Pope Francis has died. Now,
technically he died the day after Easter, because doing it
on Easter would have been a very saintly thing. I'm

(00:25):
that's gonna irritate somebody. But no, there's a lot of
saints who literally died on religious holidays, were born on
religious holidays. It's kind of a thing that they add
in their description of them. So I'm not saying that
they're going to canonize the pope. I'm just pointing out
that there is some coincidence there. And let's see, he
was eighty eight. He was a very different Now, my

(00:45):
first pope, and I was raised Catholic by family, is
super Catholic, was Pope John Paul. And actually I was
three or something, two or three when he came to
visiting the US. I'd have to look up exactly how

(01:06):
old I was. I was told I was there in
the audience. I don't know, don't know. I was a baby.
And then obviously Pope John Paul. And then you go
through a A A A A Pope in the middle
there and now onto Pope Francis. Yeah, dead at the
age of eighty eight. And of course the internet's doing

(01:28):
what the internet does, because this is how let me,
let me explain to you how our politics has just
gone where it's gone. Okay, so earlier this weekend, Ron
Sunday yesterday, I'm you know, I'm scrolling through Twitter whatever
it's before I started prep and I was just was

(01:48):
it a morning or whatever? And you know a lot
of people posted the old classic he has risen all right? Lastly, okay,
a lot of people posting that on social media. That's
not unusual, it is Easter. And then I noticed under
a couple of them community notes. Now the show account

(02:10):
is what's called one of those bird watch accounts, so
we can see proposed community notes. I know some of
you are as well, and so you know, even if
they never make it to primetime, I get to see it.
And I just couldn't resist. I'm like, the dude tweeted
three words, what is your beef? And then I realized
some troll might have been multiple trolls. I didn't check.

(02:32):
I saw it on two different tweets. Just shook my head.
And moved on. They had taken time to under because
you have to post some sort of evidence that contradicts
the tweet. They posted like a medical journal article of
the human who was dead clinically the longest or whatever,
which was I guess, I don't know, you know, a

(02:53):
couple hours or whatever. And they're like, see so and
so some Swedish dude or whatever it was. I was
clinically dead for an hour and forty five minutes, so
three days, it's impossible. And I'm like, who's out here
on Easter? Who's out here on Easter? Even if you
see it purely as a non religious holiday as your

(03:15):
kids can get candy or you can, you know, eat
some ham or you know, whatever it is, who's out
community noting Jesus? And I can say, I, you know,
I doubt you're out. I don't think they were probably
there during Ramadan, community noting Mohammed or you know, like
none of this was happening. But no, their their their

(03:37):
life is so unfulfilled. But they're going to be sitting
there having I don't know, their organs repeatedly removed by
this by the lake of fire, and they're gonna turn
to the next guy and go, yeah, yeah, I community
noted Jesus on Twitter. Good for you. I hope that
was fulfilling. So I thought that was gonna be my

(03:57):
main religious based thing. I wanted to tell you about
today because like, get a hobby, bro, do something. I've
never understood why people who were non religious don't lean
into holidays. It's like, you remember Ross, you remember the
June teenth thing where everyone was losing their mind. We

(04:19):
had a pretty simple policy here around the show. What
was our policy here on the show when they were
proposing another federal holiday that is now on our company vacation.

Speaker 2 (04:29):
Our stance was will we get the day off?

Speaker 1 (04:31):
Yes? And then the answer was yes. And then we're
like yay Juneteenth. Okay. But also, I you know, I'm
a history dude, whatever, and I understand it's not the
exact day, and everyone got into these arguments. I'm like, quickquivling.
All right, they're giving you a free day off. I
guess if you're an employer and you got to pay
it and you added a pay vacation, maybe you're beefing,
But like, okay, we'll take the day off. When is

(04:55):
Juneteenth this year? I just realized something we're off the
whole week. What is June today? Is it the fifteenth?
I don't remember what the day? Oh no, it's a Sunday.
So is it on our house our calendar? What day
is June teenth? Ross? We looked that up real quick.

(05:15):
I just realized we're going to be off in May
for a whole week, just two weeks away, and then
we get to the Memorial Day and then we get
the Juneteenth thing, so you know, we're getting this drought
of vacation time.

Speaker 2 (05:26):
It is Thursday the nineteenth. All right, Well that's weird.

Speaker 1 (05:33):
It's Thursday's a day off and we've got to come
back for a show on Friday. We should talk about that,
you know what I mean, just saying, or do weekend?
All right? So, uh yeah, So that was But but
then and I think, well, that's the most religious story
I'll talk about today. Some people out just community in
Jesus and then the pope died, and because we live

(05:59):
in the world that we live in, that can't just
be the story. Oh. I was just reminded of that
horrible movie Conclave. You know, here's the problem, Ross, You
know how you know how consumers to some extent are
just they're just mindless drones. I'll bet the Conclave all

(06:24):
of a sudden makes a bunch of money. I'll bet
people find out about that movie and becomes hip and
oh dear God. And if you don't know what happens,
do you think it's been long enough? I can say
it on the air, what happened in Conclave. I feel
like it's my moral obligations. You don't accidentally rent it
and you're not prepared for it. Okay, So I'm gonna

(06:46):
do this. So this movie, which has a ton of
huge stars in it, all right, people that I really
enjoy watching on the big screen. Okay, I went into it.
I you know, I kind of like movies like that
necessarily have to be religious. Like I enjoyed the movie
The Two Popes on HBO. I don't know if you've
seen that. Is it one hundred percent accurate?

Speaker 3 (07:08):
No?

Speaker 1 (07:10):
But it shows, you know, Bogolio retiring and then on
to Pope Francis, and it's an interesting watch. So in
this movie, which has Ralph Fine, Stanley Tucci, John Lithgow,
it's just got a whole bunch of people. They go
into the Conclave and there's an extra cardinal, which is

(07:34):
a legit thing that can happen. You can essentially have
a cardinal who's not identified as a cardinal because they
serve in an environment where if people knew they were
a cardinal, they probably be insta murdered. Okay, So there's
this additional cardinal comes to the College of Cardinals. If
you know anything about how they select the new pope,

(07:56):
these are the cats that do it. And everyone's like,
who's this guy? What the heck's going on here? And
it turns out he was He was a cardinal was
there's a name for it. It's Latin. I can't remember
what it is. And he was the cardinal of Afghanistan.
All Right, it's probably not a good place to be,
like the top Catholic. And so a long story short,

(08:16):
and I'm just gonna this is a this is a spoiler,
but I feel like people are going to seek out
this movie and I want you to know what you're getting.
So there's a whole bunch of shdad agains. There's backstabbing.
John Lithgow's kind of the bad dude in the movie,
and he's trying to he's trying to take out another

(08:39):
cardinal because he wants to be pope and and and
that's fine, you have that storyline. But then the secret
cardinal gets made the pope and oh, by the way,
he's transgender, and it's not that nobody knows. So there
you go. That's what you get with that movie. However,

(09:03):
the one thing that wasn't in that movie and talking
about the death of the Pope that triggered the whole
movie was that the American Vice President murdered him. Because
that's where we are now. The Internet is a heck
of a place man, all right, Ross, So explain this, Yeah,
no problem. So I came in, had a bunch of

(09:25):
stuff to do this morning. I loaded all the audio
that was in prep. I used all the bleeps on
the Nancy Mace audio. Oh my god, that it was done.
I had, like, you know, ten fifteen minutes to spare. Yeah,
I'm like, well, what else is going on?

Speaker 2 (09:37):
And I turned on America's First News and my little
bit control board right here the show before the show,
you know, the person that people love to fill in
for us, Gordon Deal. They love yeah, they love them.

Speaker 1 (09:46):
They they begged for him, and.

Speaker 2 (09:49):
So I turn it up and they're like the Pope's dead. Wow, oh,
the Pope's dead. I need to find some pope body
or something.

Speaker 1 (09:55):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (09:55):
So I go on to Twitter, going to x and
the first I just pope. I type in a pope,
you know. And the first video that pops up is
jd Vance with the Pope and I'm like, oh.

Speaker 1 (10:05):
Heah, he went. Yeah, him and his family went to
Easter bass and at Saint Peter's Basilica.

Speaker 2 (10:09):
And so the first thing I do is I checked
the date. I say, when was this mate? Is this
an older one? I'm like, oh man, it was yesterday. Yeah,
it was yesterday. And then you start scrolling down the
comments and people are saying that jd Vance murdered the pope. Okay,
They're like, does that prove jd Van I read this.
I'm not making it up. People are saying, I you know.

Speaker 1 (10:30):
This, Google this, Google this, It's.

Speaker 2 (10:32):
Proved jd Vance is the Antichrist, of course, and his
gaze just staring at the pope in the wheelchair murdered
the Pope.

Speaker 1 (10:40):
The pope who is eighty eight and has had pneumonia
and has looked like he like he really had pneumonia.
I don't know if you saw the video of him
on the By the way, I just want to point
this out. I know that there is a divide amongst
Catholics as to this pope versus you know, go back
to a class I say, Pope John Paul. Right, that's

(11:02):
where we get the popemobile from right there. And he
was pope for a very long time. But they have
very different philosophies. And one thing this pope had no
problem doing is uh being very critical of capitalism, and
he was all in on the climate change and even't
like borders unless they're around Saint Peter's Basilica. But but whatever,

(11:24):
Well you can have intellectual disagreements there that, but it
wasn't impacting. Okay, so this is this is my question.
I don't remember in the Bible where the anti Christ
murder is the last pope. I know about the whole
last pope thing, right, and you know.

Speaker 2 (11:43):
People, yeah right, I can't speak on it. I haven't
gotten there yet. I mean sure, yeah, yeah, I'm still
in the Torah, so yeah, yeah, speak on.

Speaker 1 (11:51):
This all right. Spoil I'm sorry, spoiler. So yeah, wait
till you get to the Gospels. There's some stuff that
happens anyway. So so he murder.

Speaker 3 (12:06):
You don't.

Speaker 1 (12:08):
It's gonna sound insensitive. If there's an eighty eight year
old in your life and they have double lung pneumonia
and can barely move and you want them dead, why
would you go through the trouble again? I don't mean
this and set like that doesn't I feel like that

(12:29):
should shoot holes in their theory. But okay, so that's
how we're starting our week. Jd Vance murdered the pope.
All right, do we just have a normal week? One?
Have we had a normal week in twenty twenty five? Yet?
I don't think I've had a whek. Let me tell

(12:50):
you what. Every now and then in normal times, there's
like that, like we'll have a week where I have
I have to do show prep twice, I have to
go through a bunch of websites, and I'm like, I
still don't have enough stories. I don't have enough of this.
I don't have enough that I gotta find something. I
don't know if I can do. I haven't had that

(13:11):
day this year. At no point did I get through
my initial scan of the various websites and email, the
newsletters and all the stuff that I check every day
and went I don't know if I'm gonna have enough
for a show tomorrow and then I don't know. Today

(13:32):
could have been somewhat normal. We'd be talking about do
you have a good roster? Did you have a good Easter?
You and the fam? Yeah?

Speaker 2 (13:37):
I had a fantastic east there.

Speaker 1 (13:39):
Yep. Do you guys eat a bunch of stuff?

Speaker 2 (13:40):
I sure did?

Speaker 1 (13:41):
Oh good? You bring some for everybody?

Speaker 2 (13:44):
Or I did not?

Speaker 1 (13:45):
Is that because there's none left?

Speaker 2 (13:47):
There's none left? I mean there's no eggs left. I
ate all eggs.

Speaker 1 (13:50):
Mark.

Speaker 2 (13:52):
She made like I want to say, roughly, I don't know,
like fifty deviled eggs and I just devoured them. You
got it.

Speaker 1 (13:57):
You didn't bring deviled eggs for everybody because if you
put them in the fridge, they're gonna like stink up
the fridge.

Speaker 2 (14:03):
I did it for the family. I need to eat
them all. They're very potent.

Speaker 1 (14:09):
Does she go she goes spicy on them? Or he
had the paprika on the top, right, of course? Yes,
you know, I see people don't put paprika.

Speaker 2 (14:18):
Oh that's not right.

Speaker 1 (14:20):
I don't feel that she should be able to buy
eggs anymore. Prison Yeah, I think you get a little
scarlet egg letter they go to the grocery store like, nah, prison,
prison would be effective as well.

Speaker 2 (14:28):
The audio of JD meeting the Pope is on the
button bar. But but but so, I also retweeted the
tweet of their visit. The AP put it out, and
I put it out on her account of Casey on
the radio. But just these are the comments, so I'm
not gonna skip. I'm just gonna read them in order. Okay, okay,
all right, one touch is all it took. Okay, oh
my god, he took him out reason spotted died or murdered?

(14:51):
Angel of death?

Speaker 1 (14:52):
Okay did they say how he did it?

Speaker 2 (15:03):
I guess they're saying with his touch it's one touch.

Speaker 1 (15:06):
Yeah, that's what I was. So it just if he
touches you, you die, because I watched a whole bunch
of people shake his hand when they did the rally,
and uh, where did they have? Where do they have?
Was it Inn Raley at the Jordan? I try to remember.
I just remember seeing the video, so like, there's probably
a bunch of our listeners, nice knowing you under the

(15:30):
lunatic theory. All right, let's listen to the ten seconds
of audio to see if he if well, anyway, find.

Speaker 2 (15:39):
Yourself to your father.

Speaker 1 (15:44):
I know you've not been feeling great, but it's good
to see you in bet health. Now, why would somebody
say that to somebody they're about to murder with their touch, right, because.

Speaker 2 (15:55):
Camera on camera, he looks like he's concerned.

Speaker 1 (15:57):
Yeah, Cauy's a deceiver. Well, the anti crisis a deceiver,
that's true. Oh man, here's where we are, all right,
we'll be right back, all right. So Ross and are
handicapping the next pope. I think the chance that we
get in an American I would be interesting.

Speaker 2 (16:13):
I'm all about it.

Speaker 4 (16:14):
Now.

Speaker 2 (16:15):
We need an American pope.

Speaker 1 (16:16):
Ross is all patriotic poping yep. So you so you
went an American pope?

Speaker 2 (16:22):
It just daunted me. I've never really got given a
thought before. Right, there's never been an American pope, correct,
Like it's never happened that it needs to happen. Then,
where we just went to South America or Central mayor
where are he's from Argentina, Argentina or whatever? Yeah, where
the Nazis went?

Speaker 1 (16:35):
And well I went to well, hold on, I went
to Argentina last year to may a Nazi.

Speaker 2 (16:40):
Yeah my point, right, there, thank you.

Speaker 1 (16:42):
What I just wanted an eighteen dollars best steak of
the world with a glass of wine. Crazy these did
you see, Hitler? I did not, you know what. The
big tragedy though, remember I said it. What I wanted
to do is I wanted to go to one of
those Bavarian villages because I just had to see that.

Speaker 5 (17:00):
Right.

Speaker 2 (17:00):
Yeah, they're super weird.

Speaker 1 (17:01):
Yeah. It was a pain in the ass to get
out to the one and I never went like, you go.

Speaker 2 (17:05):
Out to those places and they're just like all this
German architecture and they're speaking German and everything's in German.

Speaker 1 (17:11):
That's weird. Oh yeah, yeah, oh yeah. I talked to him. No,
I the guy thought the martender at the hotel was
giving me the whole rundown. He thinks it's the weirdest
damn thing in the world too, but he's like, hey,
you want to go see you should go see it
because it's weird. Go check it out. Man, Black like
to get transit. There was a pain. I don't want
to go with the tour. And just a pro tip,

(17:31):
not that everyone that I ran into in Argentina wasn't
very nice for the most part, although there was a
couple people, but whatever. Not fan of Americans, Okay, just
you know, you don't get in a mode of transportation
with somebody you don't know, even if it's a taxi,
and have you drive them three hours out of town,
just from a safety perspective, and I don't care that

(17:54):
it's me. That's how people get taken. So pro tip
for all of you travelers there. So anyway, I didn't
end up going there, but I really wanted to, and
I thought that was weird. But he had his own
He had his own history, you know, because he you know,
remember when they when they came in and Argentina. This

(18:14):
is not the this is not the Hitler part of it,
but when they were going through the revolution there. One
of the things, of course that you do when you're
you know, a violent revolutionist, is you go through and
you have to eliminate people's people wanting to find meaning
in their life that's not you. And so he people

(18:39):
have given him beef that he was going like he
went along with it. I don't think it's as simple
as that. I think that he was making the best
of a situation and attempting to limit, like to work
within the bounds of But you know, that's a you
guys should research it. That's a personal decision. I never
thought that was a fair thing to hang on him,

(19:01):
because it's not like he was actively killing people. He
was just being more secretive about what he was doing.
And you can make a judgment call there that being said, yeah, yeah,
he was the first Latin American pope. And for anyone
who's traveled in Latin America, almost it's almost all Catholic
churches and some of the and some really amazing, beautiful,

(19:26):
like crazy nice because the Catholics when they come in,
especially the big cities, they would build and they would
square the town with these. So, like if you know
anything about the city of Raleigh, one of the things
that city planners wanted to do is they wanted a
park north, south, east, west right, it kind of corn
corners in the city and they would do that with churches.

(19:49):
And so if you go to a lot of the
big Latin American countries, the older cities, there's these really
ornate churches that kind of square in the old downtown
areas of what you used to be the in many
cases parts of the walled city. So if you go
to like Cartagena. They have a big wall there and
it's Catholic churches are like the post on a poster bed,
and then they even jam one in the middle there

(20:10):
and then they'll have a big one. And and these countries,
a lot of them are like ninety five percent Cato
Lika or Cato Lico's Catholics. And I don't know, I
enjoy old buildings, so you know, like what else. Area's
had some crazy beautiful ones, which is saying something because
you had a violent revolution there that attempted to downplay religion.

(20:32):
So but there you go. And remember I told you
when I was in Colombia on the UH on the
Ecuador trip, I went to Columbia and Ecuador. The craziest
thing I saw, I think I posted a picture of us,
is they had those you ever watched like the any
any anything that's set in Latin America and they want
that big festival crowd shots. It could be the Day

(20:55):
of the Dead thing, or it could just be Easter
where they have the big processions or they're carrying all
like the you know, the puppets and all that. And
they had a dude straight on a cross and they
didn't just tether them up there. I didn't realize that
they do. Like the Philippines, they do this too, where
people literally have nails hammered through their hands to show

(21:18):
or or their self flagellation or stuff like that. It's
pretty crazy to watch, man, and I'm like, what is
going on here? I see that thing coming down the
street and you got dudes up on a cross and
I'm trying to figure out if that's if they're nailed,
or that's fake blood, or what the heck's going on now?
The one guy was tied to it, but he was

(21:40):
bleeding from the wrists. So all this to say, they're
really into it. So I think that in Latin America,
today's going to be a very big deal. Got to
be a very big deal. But you have, you know,
you have a certain amount of time and then the Cardinals,
the College of Cardinals, will get to work and they'll
lock themselves in and we'll all be on watch and

(22:01):
we'll figure out where it's gonna go. But I gotta
be honest, I don't think I've read anything, and I'll
review some more stuff. I didn't have a lot of
time before the show. I don't even know if there
was an odds on favorite in the top ten of
Americans that could possibly be pope. So I just don't
see it happening.

Speaker 2 (22:18):
Well, I mean, that wouldn't be the first time we
were underestimated.

Speaker 1 (22:22):
No, no, But also there's good you know, remember the
world's mad at us now because we took away their
allowance and they're absolutely petty enough, especially those European College
of Cardinals, right, they feel that they were the pure,

(22:42):
the pure cardinals when you hear them talk, so like,
I think there's an extra incentive to not have an
American pope. So why don't you Why don't you go
be pope? I don't think I'm qualified. Well, that's right,
you're not a cardinal. Although there was a time in
history you didn't even have to be a cardinal. You
just had to be whoever the king was controlling and

(23:02):
then murder all the night's templar for him. But we
don't do that anymore. So U anyway, hold on, there's
gotta be odds on fair. Can you bet on this
on DraftKings? I don't know, all right, here we go?
What you can I don't know that you can bet
on DraftKings. You can bet on who the new pope is.
I saw it last time around. I talked about it

(23:23):
on the radio.

Speaker 2 (23:24):
Definitely, yeah, it just I don't know. It seems like
there's something wrong with that, but that's me what.

Speaker 1 (23:29):
It's a positive thing. You're you're betting on who is
going to be the next pope. Not it's not a
death pool.

Speaker 2 (23:36):
Good more, go with a cardinal Joe Smith from Buffalo,
New York, go bills?

Speaker 1 (23:42):
Is that a person? I don't know. There probably is
a cardinal. Well, there is a cardinal obvious in New York.
I don't know that. Probably not Buffalo. But ah, all right,
here we go.

Speaker 2 (23:54):
Listen. Can we agree if the pope is chosen and
they're from Buffalo, it's obviously a sign that this is
Buffalo's here?

Speaker 4 (24:00):
Right?

Speaker 2 (24:01):
Could we give that?

Speaker 1 (24:03):
I don't know when's the last time Rome won the
Premier or the uh the Euroleage. I don't know, man,
how that works. Although you know what, actually, hold on?
What did I just tell you about the last pope?
Where was he from?

Speaker 6 (24:21):
Uh?

Speaker 2 (24:21):
Mexico?

Speaker 7 (24:22):
No?

Speaker 1 (24:22):
Hey, I just told you villages country in South America?
Violent revolution, Buenos Aires. Okay, Well that you know what that's?
That is the city. Yes, Argentina.

Speaker 2 (24:36):
I was not paying attention.

Speaker 1 (24:38):
Who won the last Men's World Cup? No idea Argentina, Ah, Messi,
Messi and crew. So you might be onto something.

Speaker 8 (24:48):
Bro.

Speaker 1 (24:48):
You need to lobby. You need to lobby. Even though
there's probably not a cardinal in Buffalo. You need to lobby.
Figure that out. All right? So who are the leading candidates?
All right? Here we go Luis Togo to gaul from
the Philippines. All right, all right, he is He is
definitely a progressive dude. I actually read about him. He

(25:09):
was France's inner circle. We got the whoever the Italian?
The Italian cardinal is there, He's always in the running.
So that's Pietro. Let's see here, dude from Ghana. Okay,
m oh ross, what did you Eastern European pope? Ready,

(25:33):
the dude from Hungary. And I'm not making this up.
By the way, they literally have odds. You want to
hear the Betty nods on all them. They're attached to
the article. So if you go with the Philippines cardinal,
it's three to one odds. It's pretty good four to
one on the Italian. This just feels so wrong that

(25:55):
there's Betty nods attached. Here the dude from Ghana at
five to one, the Hungarians six to one. You got
another Italian pope from who is this Milan? Oh, this
is the dude from near Tuscany? Bro, do you want
a Tuscan pope? Maybe he'd maybe he'd swap out some

(26:18):
of the menu items on some of the traditional like
Catholic meals. All right, so those are those are really
the one they think it's going to be one of
those five? So two Italians, Ganesese, I don't know if
how you say, someone from Ghana, Hungarian and uh uh Filipino.
So yeah, we'll see you there, all right, Boston Paul

(26:45):
doesn't even know what to do. Well, don't worry Boston Paul,
because the one thing I know is not going to happen.
It it's probably for the best is you're not going
to be the next pope. And I think Boston may
have negated their ability because of that thing. Just saying
all right, six forty six here on the cacy O

(27:07):
Day Radio program, let me ask a question, and then
we got to roll into some other stories. Who for
for the Catholics in the audience, who do you want
somebody who's more like Pope Francis, or do you want
somebody who's more like Pope John Paul? Which you know,

(27:27):
they operated in very different manners. I mean, obviously the
majority of how they operated is you know, Catholic. But
what they what they threw their attention to and leaned into,
we were we're different priorities. So what are you hoping for? Yeah? Phil,
what's up.

Speaker 4 (27:50):
There?

Speaker 1 (27:51):
You feel?

Speaker 5 (27:51):
Can run ahead?

Speaker 9 (27:55):
Yeah? Gim on Casey Cardinal Dowan from New York who
saf mass out of Saint Patrick's Cathedral. Man, that guy's
fantastic and he's all over the the the.

Speaker 3 (28:11):
TV doing interviews, and I hope he's in the running
at least.

Speaker 1 (28:17):
Yeah, I don't think so. It would be very interesting.
I think. You know, one of the things that I
think is unfair is there are people out there who
believe that the Catholic Church scandal was something that was
purely American and they couldn't be more wrong. Right, this
was this required the church to be very proactive in

(28:41):
a lot of other countries where it hadn't come to light.
And so there are some I've heard argue that anyone
who was a cardinal or even a bishop at the
time within the Catholic Church should not be in there.
But that's just people hating on America. I know, as
far everything I know about Cardinal Dolan seems to be positive,

(29:04):
So yeah, it would be interesting.

Speaker 9 (29:07):
I am Catholic. I'm Catholic, went to Catholic school, fall through,
you know, ye, one through, one through and.

Speaker 1 (29:16):
The whole deal.

Speaker 3 (29:16):
So I'm really I'm really destroyed about the whole scandal with.

Speaker 9 (29:24):
The Catholic Church. It's really hard for me to.

Speaker 3 (29:26):
Come to grips with it. But you know, I do
my own thing. I do my own thing. I have
my own relationship with with God, and uh, I just
do the best I.

Speaker 1 (29:36):
Can, man, you know, anyone can.

Speaker 3 (29:41):
All right, Well, I hope Cardinal Dolan is at least
in the running, but I guess maybe he's not.

Speaker 1 (29:47):
Yeah, well, who knows. Like, uh, this pope was a surprise. Yeah,
all right, sir, appreciate the call this morning, Thank you
very much. So I don't know. We'll watch it play out,
but I think right now everyone's so cheese in America
that you'll have someone do it, just like now, we
can't have an American pope. All right, We'll see all right,

(30:11):
six forty nine. Uh, Like I said, we do have
some other stuff to get into. We got all sorts
of audio, not just jd Vance touching the Pope or whatever.
Ohough the Poe. What I did like, do you ever
see you ever see the the video of him whipping
his hand away when people are trying to kiss his hand,
and they're like that was like for some scandal, and

(30:33):
and it's just like, do you want you want a
thousand people all slobburn on your hand? Right there? We
can hand it, we can do a simple handshake. And
I just distinctly remember that video, and I was like,
this guy's getting a getting grief for nothing. Man, I
don't want I don't want a thousand people kissing my
hand in a row. That's not very sanitary. But we

(30:54):
shall see, all right, six fifty we'll dive into a
few other stories.

Speaker 10 (30:58):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (30:58):
The phone number eight eight eight eight nine three four
seven eight seven four back in just a few minutes.
Pope francis dead at eighty eight. You've been very ill
for quite some time. There's some video of him I
remember seeing here. I don't know a couple of weeks
ago or they took him out on the balcony there,
and dude looked rough man, But he's an eighty eight

(31:21):
year old who's got like double lung pneumonia, So it's
not that surprising. But now a process begins. You know,
the College of Cardinals. It's not all cardinals. I think
there's like two hundred and fifty cardinals, but you have
to be under at I'm trying to remember the restrictions here.
It's like it's like half of them or something. Actually

(31:44):
go vote for the new pope and then there's a
and then you have to be under a certain age,
and there's some other things there. So so anyway they will,
you know, they'll be recalled to the Vatican and the
conclave process will kick off. I asked Rob to reach
out to the bishop of the Raleigh Diocese, so we'll

(32:05):
hopefully we can have him on and we'll talk a
little about this. Yeah, and yes, is there a certain
geopolitical nature to this, Absolutely, because everything else has been
everything else has been politicized in our life. But Ros
and I are on team US Pope, so and we
have a lot of We have a lot of cardinals.
I think we have sixteen cardinals in the US. I

(32:26):
don't know how many are necessarily eligible, but so like
we got you know, we got sixteen golden tickets out
of you know, two hundred and fifty or two fifty
two or whatever the number is there. So yeah, Pope
Francis of course the first cardinal from the Americas, hailing
from Argentina. But and I would point this out because

(32:49):
people will criticize the US as well, you know, they're
not as they're not as religious religiously active. As put
that thought aside, the US, of all of the Catholics
in the world, represents a fifth of them. In fact,
we have as many Catholics in the US or in

(33:09):
North America, I guess to be fair, so Canada and
Mexico in there we have as many Catholics as they
do in Italy or in all of Europe, and so
it's roughly about twenty percent from both. The only place
in the world that has more Catholics is South America.
They have about twenty five percent of all the Catholics.

(33:32):
And then Asia has got a bunch, and then Oceania
doesn't have and I don't think Antarctica has any either.
So Oceana has got a very small percentage but so,
you know, to discount that there could be a North
American Pope shows your ignorance of the spread of Catholicism,
to be quite honest with you. So I just wanted
to throw that out there, all right, let me so

(33:53):
if you if anybody wants chat about that, we can
do so. Eight eight eight nine three four seven eighty
seven four. I'm very curious from practicing Catholics, do you
want to see more Pope Francis with the next guy
or more Pope John Paul. You don't want any of

(34:14):
the Pope humorouses. I promise you that don't google that
there was there was a bad run back there. So yeah,
so because the very different vibes with those two, I mean,
it's all Catholic at the end of the day. But
you know, Pope Francis didn't lean away from weighing in
on some big political issues. But also Pope Pope John

(34:35):
Paul is said to have tried to undermine the Soviet Union.
So it gets Ross was doing his research this morning.

Speaker 2 (34:43):
Now it's fantastic to read about, like it's really fascinating.

Speaker 1 (34:46):
Well, one of the one of the hallmarks of communists,
and remember that's what Francis was dealing with in Argentina
that was a communist revolution under color of more of
a Chile but violent nonetheless, But one of the things
that you have to do when you take over a
country is a dictator or communist revolution, is you have

(35:08):
to divorce the people from reliance on anything that's not you.

Speaker 2 (35:14):
Yeah. Pope John Paul, he was from Eastern Europe, right,
and he despised communism in the Soviet Union, and he
was actually funneling money from the Vatican into these groups
trying to take down the Soviet Union, like the anti
communist groups.

Speaker 1 (35:26):
What if he was a spy? Possibly, that's good cover,
you know what I mean, that's a pretty good cover
right there.

Speaker 2 (35:33):
I don't know, man, So I'm so like, I'm so
in now on the idea of an American Pope.

Speaker 1 (35:38):
Ross is not even Catholic, man, I shouldn't say that.
Were you guys? Did you guys go to Catholic Church
New yorkad? Uh?

Speaker 2 (35:44):
Yeah, No, I went to the Catholic church, the one,
the ginormous one. Yeah, nice and or needs amazing Catholic Church.
It's across the street from our first house we had
in Schenectady. Now it's a Hindu temple. It's got a
big band of this as Hindu temple, so that's super weird.
But in my neighborhood growing up in Schenectady, uh, there

(36:06):
got maybe four or five Catholic churches in a span
of a few blocks. Oh yeah, Like it was ridiculous.
So we went there until I was about five. And
then I was five, my mom pulled us out of
the church and we started, you know, just practicing at home.
And the reason for that was I didn't understand at
the time, but apparently, uh, there were some shenanigans going
on at the church, and my mother did not feel
as comfortable going there anymore.

Speaker 1 (36:28):
Yeah, I had to do it. Yeah, and as a kid,
I didn't get it, you know. But now you're just
on team American Pope completely, Okay. I like I said,
we got we got sixteen colorful hold on, I should
call the list up here. So I wanted to be accurate,
which occasionally I do try to be haters. Let's see here,

(36:52):
all right. So uh yeah, so I'm trying to figure
out where all the cardinals are in the US. Shame
on me for not knowing, right, Um, all right, Los Angeles,
Detroit they have did they actually have a cardinal who's
whose purview is prisons? Did you know that in the US,
So that's the thing. Philadelphia, Boston, Houston, where you'd explained,

(37:19):
we have a military cardinal too. That's right, Raymond Burke.
I actually met Raymond Burke. So let's see here, Washington, dude,
listen to this title. Ross tell me if you oh wait, yeah, Ross,
tell me if you'd like this title. You ready, grand
Master Emeritus of the Order of the Holy Scepter.

Speaker 2 (37:40):
That's an amazing yeah.

Speaker 1 (37:43):
Yeah, yeah, man, like you said, New York Saint Paul,
Oh James, that's right, they do have one of Minneapolis St. Paul, Chicago, Newark, Couple, Washington,
and then you have you have some outstanding ones like
the carmel Ango of the Church and there you go.

(38:05):
So yeah, we got lots to choose from. Yeah, let's
make this happen. Absolutely, yes, Donna, what's up?

Speaker 7 (38:12):
Good morning?

Speaker 4 (38:13):
Casey mm hm. So I'm mon, Team America. Sure, And
I think that since Trump can name the Golf of
Mexico the Gulf of America, he should be able to
name the next pope. And I think that he should
name Cardinal Timothy Dolan, who headed the Alfredsmith dinner.

Speaker 1 (38:36):
Yeah, yeah, I'm gonna Donna, I'm gonna go. I'm not
comfortable with the US president picking the pope, so come
on now, hide and picking a pope.

Speaker 4 (38:48):
Trump picking a pope.

Speaker 1 (38:50):
Well, I'm just pointing out. Yeah, if they pick up, well,
most of these cardinals are in there, they're very old,
so the chances are then whoever's next, and if it's
moonbat the last thing you want. You want Barack Obama
picking a pope. No you don't, No, no, not at all.
Pick Matt Gates and I'll have to lose my mind again.

Speaker 6 (39:11):
So no, no, he's bud cardinal.

Speaker 1 (39:16):
I don't want anything. I don't know if you saw
Matt Gates is now throwing DeSantis under the butt. The
whole thing absolutely mess. All right, thank you very much
for the call. Appreciated. All right, Yes, yeah, you can
be under eighty to be pope, but you're still eighty. Okay,
people are I'm not by the way, don't take the

(39:38):
intricacies of the cardinal of colleges and the conclave process
from me, Okay, don't, mister. I did the whole Catechism
thing Obviously, I try to be well read on this,
but I'm not a practicing Catholic, so I'm not up
on everything and admitt it. So if I get some
stuff wrong, don't yell at me or send me angry emails.

(40:00):
Try in here while we're also trying to discuss it
in the you know, in our own unique way as
we do here on the show. So I don't mean
a fence to anybody.

Speaker 2 (40:08):
Somebody just sent me a message that said, what about
you know, one of the biggest Catholics in the country,
what about Pope Biden? And uh oh gee, now, and
now my entire day is ruined. Well, not that American,
not that guy. Not that.

Speaker 1 (40:21):
By the way, do you see his Easter family photo
that he totally doesn't look photoshopped into it? I did,
and you agree, totally doesn't look photoshopped.

Speaker 2 (40:28):
Is this totally natural?

Speaker 1 (40:30):
Is it? With that suit he's wearing while everyone else
is in casual clothes, he's looking spry, and he looks younger,
and he's looking in the right direction. I'm not saying
it's photoshop. I didn't say that, did you say Ross?
Did you say that? No? I didn't say that. Were
the lightings different on him. I tried to get gro
to photoshop you into the photo, but I have to

(40:51):
have the premium. I thought that'd be hilarious taking that
weird that headshot on your Twitter, but Grock wouldn't do
it unless I about the premium. So what'd be like? Wow,
look at that Ross was dining with the former president.
That's crazy. All right, Uh well, let me do this.
I'll get to the YouTuber's the thing here in the

(41:12):
last segment or in the next segment. I just let
me grab these calls because it would be a weird
non sequitor when I tell you what this idiot was
up to. Joe Anne, what's up? Good morning, Good morning.

Speaker 6 (41:22):
Man, how are you? I am practicing cradle Catholics sixty
eight years traditional go to our ladies where I saw
on wis Market Street. God rest his soul type Francis.
But he was definitely a form in many in the

(41:43):
side of many traditional Catholics. Yes, we felt he was
too liberal, topic of conversation on a daily basis. Often
we're just very confused by what he did. As far
as cardinals from the US go, the abuse situation was horrific.
Think there's no other words, to no other word to
describe it. However, it's happened in every religion. It's not

(42:06):
on this grand as scale, and it.

Speaker 1 (42:08):
Is let me just let me pause you for a second.
And this is why when I brought it up, I
think that people unfairly assumed that that was purely a
US thing. And if people would it was, it was not.
And and by the way, there's a couple instances that
are mighty horrific that were happening in a lot of
third world countries that frankly, it's all horrifying, but like

(42:30):
some really really bad stuff. And so yeah, so.

Speaker 6 (42:36):
We we disqualified from from a cardinal in the US
by that, But for those reasons we want to see.
I think a large population in the church is growing
by leaps and bounds, and surprisingly enough, it's young people
who were coming into the church, and and they're traditional.
They are coming into church because a lot of them

(42:56):
took theology, are taking theology, and it brought them to
the church. And we need somebody traditional in there. We
need somebody who believes in the basis of the Catholic
faith and does it take it and twist it and
turn it, and and it was getting too political, it
was getting to corrupt. So a lo, like I said,
God rest his soul. I'm looking forward to see what's

(43:18):
gonna happen. But I do hope we get a traditional
Catholic in there, because that's, you know, in my opinion
and an opinion of everybody I talked to, that's what
we need.

Speaker 1 (43:28):
You know. The cardinal's he's Dutch, is super traditional, and
he is on the short list. But I think for
those reasons, like he's really like he won't give h
he will give me, oh what's going on there? Uh,
he will give mass in certain situations to people. So
I don't know that we're going to get that, but

(43:49):
we will see. Joeanne, thank you very much for the call.
It'll be interesting. Uh, we have this call real quick, buddy.
What's up?

Speaker 9 (43:56):
Hey?

Speaker 11 (43:57):
Is there any role that President Trump not being Pope
Trump and bring Elon and brings Elon to come in
to take the Doge team into the Vatican and give
all the Jewish Jewish stuff that Germany took and stored
in there during Worlar two back to the UH to

(44:18):
the Jewish people.

Speaker 1 (44:20):
So we just we just called the craft on Catholics.
This morning. Is that where we're at?

Speaker 11 (44:24):
Well, no, no, no, no, no, I'm not calling craft.

Speaker 5 (44:26):
I'm just that's actually true, you know what I mean.

Speaker 1 (44:29):
They still I'm not discounting that the Vatican did not
store some of some of that stuff. But if if
you're going into the Vatican archives, I want whoever's pope
just to let me in there so I can read
all the scrolls and stuff.

Speaker 5 (44:41):
It's doesn't gonna happen.

Speaker 1 (44:43):
Why not? I'm asking, Hey, look, hey.

Speaker 5 (44:48):
I ain't telling you. You know, I'm not the smartest,
I'm not the self's liking it, whatever, But I'm just
telling you reim was creative to control people, all right,
and they took advantage of it, and they're still doing it.
And that's just the truth.

Speaker 9 (45:03):
That's how I think.

Speaker 1 (45:04):
You're more than entitled your opinion. I'm just I'm just
challenging you know what you're throwing out there, when in reality,
there's probably much there. There's incredibly cool stuff down in
the archive, and I just want to get a look
at it.

Speaker 11 (45:17):
So hey, hey, we just imagined Pope Trump have a
gon horse at the Vatican.

Speaker 5 (45:22):
It'd be beautiful.

Speaker 1 (45:23):
I mean, no, he's good where he's at. I like
where he's at. That's that's good.

Speaker 9 (45:27):
All right, Hey, all right, well to have a good
day by all right.

Speaker 1 (45:29):
All right, I can't. I'm sorry, I don't. I don't
care how much you like Trump. No, no, and also no,
he can't be but no a thousand times no. Ross.
You want to go to the Vatican Archive if I
can get us in there, read some stuff.

Speaker 2 (45:43):
Oh do, There'd be so many cool things down there.

Speaker 1 (45:45):
Oh my gosh, I get the spear of destiny though,
that's mine. Let me know that you called it. It's fair,
that's my own fault. Yeah, should have got out ahead
of this thing. Man. Well anyway, it's uh like I said,
it's well, we'll continue chatting about it if if you want.
But I do have to get to some other stories

(46:06):
because this guy, this guy right here, this YouTuber, this
might be the most This might be the worst idea
for a YouTube prank channel other than the people who
are about to go to prison over in Asia. But
she got yourself there. You had to work for this
this guy that was only part of their thing. Like,

(46:29):
what's weird is that dude in the Philippines. Most of
his channel was him traveling around the Philippines to like
layte and very poor portions of the Philippines and like
giving stuff, like doing all this charitable stuff. And then
he'd do that, and then you go try to steal
guns from cops. It's just it's the most bipolar setup
I think I've ever seen on a YouTube channel. This

(46:51):
guy I'm gonna tell you about. He had one stick.
He was just there to terrorize people. When I say terrorized,
I do not use that word lightly. Okay, So when
we come back I will play the audio and we'll
do it next. Tell me if that dude's actually nailed
at that thing or not. What of course, I'm gonna

(47:15):
take photos. What are you talking about? All right, let
me get over to this. Uh did you dude, did
you do do? Okay? All right, So I admit I
missed the story. Okay, I missed the story. Uh when
this dude was actually kicked off the YouTube, But when
I was reading about this yesterday, Holy crap, man, Holy crap.

(47:39):
So this dude's seventeen. His name is Arah Moshala. And
it's important to note we're gonna do a little I
don't know profiling is the right word here. He looks
very convincing because he obviously looks Middle Eastern. Okay, and
that's gonna be important for this story. I'm not just

(48:01):
picking on them because it helps sell the extreme prank
channel he was doing. So what do I mean by
extreme prank? So check this out. He thought it would
be hilarious. He had, by the way, six hundred and
fifty thousand subscribers who wanted to watch this content. So

(48:23):
here's here's how the prank went. All right, you're ready,
I don't know, maybe this fun prank you want to do?
So in the YouTube. The YouTube ch title of these
was called throwing water on people's faces, and he did
a whole series of these. All right, that must be

(48:45):
pretty annoying, right, you just hit him with a squirt
gun or something. And by the way, you shouldn't do that.
People are gonna get that's a good way to get shot. Okay,
but you go, it's an overreaction. I don't know. Don't
squirt anything in anyone's face, okay, because they don't.

Speaker 9 (48:58):
Know what it is.

Speaker 1 (49:00):
However, that's not what he was going for here. He
wasn't going for, Hey, there's a kid with a squirt
gun who's pranking people. On a corner. It was very
carefully designed to give people the impression that what he
threw in their face was not water, but rather acid.

(49:20):
I want to repeat that he intentionally concocted the way
that he did it, what he yelled, and how it
appeared to look as though it was an acid attack,
which is a thing. I'm sure you're aware of this, right,
If you have a woman who's out of control and

(49:40):
you don't want to honor kill her, you can blind
her with acid. This is if you're not aware of this.
This is a horrible, horrific thing that happens in Middle
Eastern countries or in countries where you have a lot
of Middle Eastern people who, in some cases a slice
of them are going to be very tr traditional and
then occasionally you get these horrific stories. Right, We've had

(50:05):
people here in the US who've had acid thrown in
their face, but it's a hallmark more so of some
places in the Middle East, and it's and it's horrific.
So understand what people are thinking is happening to them
is not hey, where did that water come from? People
think that you're being that they are being. For a moment,

(50:25):
they believe they're being blinded.

Speaker 2 (50:27):
By acid.

Speaker 1 (50:30):
And that was his prank. Yeah.

Speaker 9 (50:34):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (50:35):
In the video, he approaches several people as a brief
conversation and then throws a cup of water in their face.
But he doesn't have a conversation about the weather. Isn't
it a nice day out? Haha? Water in your face.
He has a conversation that is meant to build fear
and intimidation in them, so that when he does throw

(50:55):
the acid, which obviously isn't acid, into their face, they're
already at a heightened sense of nervousness. What is this
dude yelling about what's going on? And knowing that that
is a thing, their brain for just a minute thinks
that they were just they just had acid thrown in
their face. Honestly, I'm surprised somebody didn't beat this dude

(51:16):
to death. But of course he's not going up and
throwing the acid into the you know, into the face
of the rock, right or Jason Statham looking dudes. No,
he's harassing women who clearly this is a concern that
they may have on the brain. Man, Now, don't think
that they just throw acid on women. That just tends

(51:39):
to be the target. But yeah, so this is in
the UK, and he's doing so in many of these
areas that have a high Muslim population. And his whole
his whole thing is six hundred and fifty I'm assuming
was six hundred and fifty thousand subscribers. You could probably
make a pretty good living ross, right, I don't really

(52:00):
know how this all plays out on YouTube. Is six
fifty six hundred and fifty thousand enough to make some money?

Speaker 2 (52:05):
No, but he can survive off that. Okay, at that point,
that's your career. I mean, that's your career a pretty
big following.

Speaker 1 (52:12):
Well, Google disagreed, which is strange because normally I feel
like they don't police anything, and then everything at all,
and then everything all at once, and it's usually dumb
stuff or conservative stuff. But so YouTube's like, nah, we're
not gonna play this all right, So I want you
to hear this. This this morons interview. And I don't
care that he's seventeen. He fully he knows what he's doing.

(52:34):
He knows what he's doing. But listen to this because
he's the victim. I don't know if you guys know this.
He's the victim.

Speaker 12 (52:39):
Everyone, and ask attack of victim who Chris has me,
I do apologize for if you've seen that as the
wrong way. I don it mean for the video to you.

Speaker 1 (52:53):
I want to apologize if you see it as the
wrong Is there anyone other than him and probably some
really horrible people follows. Is there anyone who thinks this
is the right way to do YouTube other than a
handful of idiots then the people prought him along who
would never do it all on their own because they're cowards,
but they'll gladly watch a guy do it. So no, no,

(53:14):
this is this is you, bro, This is this is
one hundred percent on you be.

Speaker 12 (53:19):
Seen in that way. The media kind of like it
demon as me. I've never once mentioned anything about acid
in the video.

Speaker 1 (53:29):
I could have. I could have ROSSI buying this that
he doesn't that in some way, it's a mystery how
these people thought they were having as.

Speaker 2 (53:38):
It's a complete come on. This guy's a more run.
He knows exactly what he's doing, and he's trying to
put Yeah. No, I mean you're you're in a part
of the world where people are in fear of their
faces burning getting burned off with acid, right, Yeah, they're
also in like stabby country, right, that's that's the part
of the world with that thing.

Speaker 1 (53:53):
They go hand in hand, but they get rid of
the swords, so that should solve its stuff.

Speaker 2 (53:56):
I'm sorry to say it, but you fit the profile
of those arrested for this sort of thing, So you
are terrorizing people and then you're playing dumb about it. Yeah,
being his channel, never again, he's an idiot and clickbit.

Speaker 12 (54:09):
I could have said after the attack prank, but never
once I said anything like that, not in a title.
I'm not in the description below or even the comments.
I've never once mentioned it. My YouTube channel honestly shouldn't
have been terminated. It's my It's what I make a
living buyer. I spent a good three years building it,
building it, building and putting, putting blood, sweating seasons it.

(54:32):
I'm for fo to just get taken like that.

Speaker 2 (54:34):
It's not really like what I was going to do
next before I took my channel, right, I was gonna
put him an orange jump shot. I was gonna put
him an orange jumpsuits, mate, And I was gonna you're
gonna put a knife to the neck there, And I
was gonna tell me to you know, say that you're
you know you don't believe in Christ. This is a joke.
I was gonna take the knife for run. Shut up,
shut up. What are you gonna do next? Idiot? You

(54:56):
know what you're doing. You're playing stupid. Oh you're not innocent,
you're dumb terrorizing people.

Speaker 1 (55:01):
Rosser got an idea for your twitch jail. You're ready, Yeah,
I will loan you one of my handguns. Okay, but
with blanks. Okay, Now, you gotta be careful that you
don't put it right up somebody's heads. You can still
kill him because the gas is escaping, so you want
to shoot him from a distance, but you're not shooting him, see,
because you've got blanks. Oh they're gonna be terrified. Can
you imagine?

Speaker 2 (55:20):
It reminds me of the old Dave Chappelle episode This Zapped,
where he's got the hidden camera show and he's horrible
things like Yeah, he shows up and he's like covered
in blood as a doctor, and he tells the kids
that their parents died in an accident or whatever, and
he's like, you've been zapped. I forgot about the throw
a prison man.

Speaker 1 (55:37):
Oh jeez, all right, so uh we can we can
call it the something we can't use the word gun.
We have to pretend like we don't know that. People
think they're getting shot. So I don't. I don't know,
Like I don't even have a twisted enough mind to
come up with something. So no, yeah, go get a job, bro,

(55:58):
maybe back of house. I don't feel like you should
be around people. You're not stable? All right? Seven forty
four cac O Day Radio program? Do we got stagic back?
Is he doing or is he doing? A four day weekend?

Speaker 12 (56:09):
Not?

Speaker 1 (56:10):
We're here? Oh look at that. Well, you were here
Friday and I heard a little bird told me you're
not going to be here this Friday.

Speaker 8 (56:15):
Yeah, little bird, That is correct, a little bird. So yeah, yeah,
I figured, yeah, So I hope about that.

Speaker 1 (56:22):
Man, what you got going? I know, I know, I
got Uh it's believe it or not.

Speaker 8 (56:27):
Time flies. It's my daughter's last performance, last choral performance
at Clemson until she graduates.

Speaker 1 (56:33):
His daughter who just performed at Carnegie Hall.

Speaker 8 (56:35):
By the way, that one, Yes, yeah it was. It
was neat you should be so yeah, yeah it was.
Uh yeah, So that's it. Four years boy flies by?
Doesn't it crazy? Unbelievable?

Speaker 1 (56:45):
You know much extra money you're about to have?

Speaker 8 (56:48):
Yeah, I haven't realized it yet, but I did make
my last payment.

Speaker 1 (56:52):
Wait, hold on, don't you have a younger daughter too.

Speaker 10 (56:55):
I do.

Speaker 1 (56:55):
But you're screwed. You're screwed all over again.

Speaker 4 (56:57):
No.

Speaker 8 (56:58):
No, that one's going to be a little bit different,
so in state, and she'll end up closer to home,
so that's all good stuff, and end up probably living
at home too. So and then you don't have to
root for Clemson anymore. No, but I will also. Yeah,
I don't just fall out of love with teams. I'm there,
I'm in Oh, we do.

Speaker 1 (57:14):
We have a guy who's from Boston listens to this show.
He's a big Patriots fan until Tom Brady went to
Tampa and all of a sudden he's a Tampa fan.
I hate those. Yeah, I don't follow players. Yeah, I
followed the soul is. Yeah. Well, I mean that's it,
says choice right.

Speaker 9 (57:29):
No.

Speaker 1 (57:29):
Yeah, but we like making fun of them too, Okay,
so we'll do that all right. Anyway. What's up, weather guy?
What's going on? Weatherwise?

Speaker 9 (57:37):
Yeah?

Speaker 8 (57:37):
It stays warm yesterday, mid even upper eighties across the
region today about the same most of us, so be
between about eighty two and eighty five partial sunshine. The
change will start tomorrow'll probably be throughout the week a
lot of clouds, some sun at times, and I'm just
gonna call it like at times, some showers and even
a couple of thunderstorms each afternoon through about Wednesday, so

(58:00):
off again. Now, there'll be hours of dry weather too,
so it's not a complete washout, but if you are
going to be outdoors, certainly be prepared for at least
some wet weather. Will be back into the low to
mid eighties tomorrow, mid upper seventies by Wednesday. It's still
a threat for showers for Thursday and Friday. So different
week this week. I mean, we needed some rainfall. It'll
be scattered around too, but don't be surprised as you

(58:21):
go a day or two this week, especially if you're
not moving out in a bout and just kind of
hanging around home where you don't get rain. So it's
not like this widespread, big shield of rain each day.
More the scattered stuff as a pattern started to look
and sound a little bit more like springtime.

Speaker 1 (58:36):
So uh huh, All right, well, I do appreciate it, sir.
We love that kind of weather. Keep it up, yeah,
doing good, all right, we'll talk to reagain here in
amount an hour. Okay, weirdo sending me pictures of Hulk
Hogan is today. He's not going to be the next pope. Okay,
he's not even a cardinal. And by the way, just
won Okay that picture of Hogan, which has clearly been

(58:59):
photos shot. You realize that the outfit he's wearing is
the the Order of Missionaries or whatever. Mother that's mother Teresa.

Speaker 2 (59:07):
First, First off, I didn't that's a nun. People keep
a habit. People keep sending me these photos now, so,
and I just shared it with you. But but at
the same you say, you say he can't be because
that would be Hulk Hogan is a nun.

Speaker 1 (59:18):
And yeah, but the nuns can't be pope.

Speaker 2 (59:21):
You just said previously that you weren't an expert on this,
so now you are. Which one is?

Speaker 1 (59:25):
Okay? There are a few things I do know, right,
and one of them is the nuns and nuns are
not going to be pope. Okay, but who knows. Man,
You know a lot of things change and evolve over
the years. So maybe one day, but not now, not
in this current iteration. And also, even if he's not,

(59:47):
I feel like maybe a cardinal who which he's not
dressed as a nun, probably would weird everyone else out.
Not going to be pope. I'll tell you what's gonna be.
The crazy story is when they do select the new
pope and so district judge in Arkansas appointed by Biden
in junct it. I'm assuming they can do that, right,
they run everything else. Why wouldn't they think that they

(01:00:09):
can go and be like, I'm sorry, we don't agree
with that, we're gonna put a hold on the new pope.
The absolute audacity of these people, all right, seven forty eight,
hang on a couple of you email and then somebody
called it like, let's put Trump in there, all right?
Did you see Trump's Easter message, the one he actually
tweeted out yesterday, If you haven't seen it, if I

(01:00:29):
could for just a moment, it was pure Trump, right,
Happy Easter to all, including the radical left lunatics who
were fighting and scheming so hard to bring murders, drug lords,
dangerous prisoners and mentally insane also known as MS thirteen
gang members and wife beaters back into our country. And
he just goes on from there. Now I want you

(01:00:51):
and this is the thought that goes through my head.
I want you to imagine that same writing style, but
now you're the pope, except instead of other politicians you're attacking.
It's I don't know, other religions or who knows, who knows?
Can you imagine that? I can't. That's not a good idea, right,

(01:01:12):
he's got beef with the Hindus or something, or he's
a town. Oh, the grand mof to you? What even
is that? Buh? Right?

Speaker 4 (01:01:19):
No?

Speaker 1 (01:01:19):
No, no, no no no no no no no, no
no no. Although Ross really likes the phrase grand Mufti. Now,
so you don't know what a grand moft he is.
By the way, that's the that's the head. Oh maybe
I get this correct, so I don't kid yell at
the Grand moft he is essentially the highest ranking Sunni
Muslim in Jerusalem. Yeah, so that's it.

Speaker 2 (01:01:40):
I'd never heard that before, but it's a great title,
and it sounds like something like doctor Strange would fight
in a Marvel movie with the Grand Mufti.

Speaker 1 (01:01:48):
Well, he's also the dude who says whether you can
have a fatwa or not, so he's not necessarily doing good.

Speaker 2 (01:01:54):
I'm not saying he's a good guy at all. I
don't know who. I'm just saying the title is awesome,
like it sounds like a cool name.

Speaker 1 (01:01:59):
He's the top religious and again it's only one slice
of Muslims. He's the top religious uh scholar and advisor
and authority within UH within Jerusalem, but all you know,
within the country there. So he does things I interpret
real law and anyway.

Speaker 2 (01:02:19):
So that's that's what the So he's not a character
from Animal House.

Speaker 1 (01:02:23):
Well, and the Movidi's are a thing. So he's just
the top rank. He's the No, he's not a character
in Animal House.

Speaker 3 (01:02:29):
Oh man.

Speaker 12 (01:02:31):
And I.

Speaker 1 (01:02:34):
Let's see here. I don't even know who the Grand
moft he is right now, you know it's not just
in Jerusalem. They have a Grand Mofty of Cairo and others.
We learned stuff we don't know, stuff.

Speaker 2 (01:02:43):
You do, and we learned so much on the show,
and I appreciate it.

Speaker 1 (01:02:46):
Yeah, now you're saying Graham Moofty all day. It's like
we can't. Every time we play that Eddie Murphy Kill
the White People song, I get angry emails because people
are singing that all day, which isn't really good at work.
So you shouldn't do that, but I won't subject you
to that because I got other audio I want to
get into, including this. So I don't know if you

(01:03:07):
saw the ruling going into the weekend, but the Supreme
Court of England ruled that a woman's a woman and
a man's a man. And let's just say activists are
not dealing well with this, not please. They had a rally.
Do we got this bleeped enough so I can play it?

(01:03:28):
I hope we do. Here we go, all right? So
what exactly is that? Is that activist chanting? He's chanting,
give us wombs and give us chesticles. I'm gonna I'll

(01:03:51):
clean it up. He's using the tea word. Okay, give
us wombs, give us boobies, but he says something else.
Ross is advocating for a US pope and now he's
advocating for hul Cogan.

Speaker 2 (01:04:05):
I am not People are sending me the photos, and
I'm sure it clearly says stop sending me these, but
I do find it funny.

Speaker 1 (01:04:13):
Okay, what is this?

Speaker 2 (01:04:15):
By the way, By the way, that photo of the
one as a nun, that would be brother Teresa, right.

Speaker 5 (01:04:20):
No, no, no, she did there.

Speaker 1 (01:04:22):
It's very clever, but No, it wouldn't be that. What
did somebody write? Explain this to me? I don't have
it called up in front of me. What did somebody?

Speaker 3 (01:04:32):
What was this?

Speaker 1 (01:04:32):
What was this weird fever dream that one of our
listeners imagine that he's pope and then what.

Speaker 2 (01:04:38):
And then a protesters outside the Vatican and Hogan comes
out with a steel chair.

Speaker 1 (01:04:43):
Well, technically, if he was pope, he'd come out with
a pope's chair, which is far more devastating. I don't
know if you've ever seen this.

Speaker 2 (01:04:50):
The big solid gold thing, right, like, yeah, wow, I.

Speaker 1 (01:04:52):
Don't know if it's solid gold, but it's pretty ornate.

Speaker 2 (01:04:54):
It's more chair, not that.

Speaker 1 (01:04:57):
What would his finishing move be the Pope's elbow or
too close? Yes, well that would be kind of a ripoff,
wouldn't it Sure would be what was what was what
was Triple H's thing called trying to remember what it was?
Spy spinebuster, right, so he can do the spinebuster and

(01:05:19):
then he can heal it, So that'd be a whole
thing anyway, all right, So that's that's what weirdos are
doing on the internet. Yeah, so Pope Francis eighty eight
passes away he'd been dealing with pneumonia, and because the
Internet's the Internet, I opened the show with a couple observations.

(01:05:43):
One over the Easter. Over Easter weekend, obviously, I saw people,
a lot of people just tweeting he has risen, right,
that's a very popular way to reference the death and
then resurrection of Christ. And you know, these are people
just minding their own business, tweeting for their forty followers.
And then I saw and this is the stuff that
I just don't understand, as people rolling in there and

(01:06:06):
trying to community note it and the way that these
scumbags were doing it, just like your community noting Jesus,
Like this is how you spend your weekend, even if
you're not religious. Go eat a delicious ham, right, go
have fun with kids, even if you just want to
do the non religious side of it. You know, all
of it is beneficial, gets you a little closer to

(01:06:29):
and it's it's just like the family, even if you
don't want to get close to religion, like you have
so much time. They're posting articles like well technically, well,
actually the longest a person's been dead and then brought
back to life is like an hour and forty five
minutes or something. Three days is that's not possible? They
who are you? And then the news breaks of the

(01:06:51):
Pope dying and poor Ross is just trying to put
audio in literally types the word Pope into the search
engine to get some Pope audio. And what's the theory.
Because our vice president went and did mass at for
the Easter weekend, you know, to Ican City.

Speaker 2 (01:07:08):
It was the first thing that came up, and it
was JD. Vans visited the Pope on Sunday and the
AP was there the apcent day.

Speaker 1 (01:07:16):
Yeah, I saw, I saw the coverage.

Speaker 2 (01:07:18):
And the theory immediately is that JD. Vance of course
is the anti Christ and he murdered the Pope or.

Speaker 1 (01:07:23):
Just as well. I've seen I did look into this.
I've seen somewhere. They don't go full anti Christ. They
just claim he murdered him old school style. So you
all just need to touch grass or something. You're sitting
at home making up JD. Vance murdered the Pope theories
and you're trying to community note God, so have fun
with that. Me know how that works out for you later,

(01:07:47):
not now, but later, just you know, let me know, Oh,
look at this, we had a listener who literally was
at London to watch this lout. Okay, all right, just
real quick, and I'm gonna go right to this guy.
So this is in let's see, the had it all
over at Edinburgh, Scotland. They had London, they had all
sorts of stuff, and it was all based on the
ruling of the Supreme Court there in England. Who's like, no,

(01:08:11):
men and women are different, and you're born one or
the other, and yes, I guess you can. You still
recognize the They always bring up the Kleinfelder thing, which
is does not affect most people who claim to be
trans and for legal purposes, we're going to stop stuffing
men in women's prisons and destroying women's sports. And the

(01:08:31):
activists just they couldn't deal. And the problem is when
you've spent so long normalizing this that all of a
sudden it's taken away from them, you have only yourself
to blame, because in a lot of cases you're not
dealing with people who are not suffering from mental illness.
And when you're screaming give us wombs and give us boobs,

(01:08:53):
I find whatever. But you sound like a lunatic. Although
I did admit that on more than one occasion when
I was like college age, my boys, you let's go
see some right, because you know you're college kid. But
I didn't want them on me. Okay, So it's different.
It's like it's like you didn't word something properly to
a genie. Okay, you gotta be very careful here. This

(01:09:15):
is clearly what they want. Dude, I would so be
that genie. Can you imagine you spent hundreds thousands of
years doing nothing but catering to other whiny people's needs,
I'd be. I'd be such a grammar Nazi in that moment.

Speaker 2 (01:09:31):
Want tobby, I want boob? Sorry, and they got them.

Speaker 10 (01:09:34):
No?

Speaker 1 (01:09:34):
Oh no, I'm a decop. What happened? No, let's not
what I meant. Yeah, and can you imagine incorporating like
popular slang and stuff too, Like you know how they
call it car my whip the car. Be very careful
with that or not ask the genie for that. They'd
be very specific on make model a year, just saying

(01:09:55):
all right, So let's get a spy report from across
the pond. Uh, what's up? David? Hello?

Speaker 7 (01:10:03):
Hey, how you doing.

Speaker 1 (01:10:04):
I'm good, sir. So you were over in the UK.
What were you doing over there?

Speaker 7 (01:10:08):
My wife is English. He's an American citizen now, but
we were up in Manchester and decided to stay in
London one day because I've never seen London, and that
place was packed. There's people all over. I don't know
how they got that many people in one area, but
it was right between Big Ben and Westminster Abbey at

(01:10:28):
the there's a park right across from there that has
Winston Churchill statue, and the pretty much took over all
that area, and unfortunately, my wife and I had to
walk with him for a few, like a few blocks
because we were trying to get over to Buckingham Pass.
And we're hoping we weren't on TV that we were
supporting that well.

Speaker 13 (01:10:48):
I was.

Speaker 1 (01:10:49):
I'm sure obviously the guy who's on stage streaming looks
like a lunatic. I'm sure everyone else was perfectly normal,
right and nice, far from it.

Speaker 7 (01:10:57):
And they were using the f wort a lot. They
were screaming that a lot on some of their chants.

Speaker 1 (01:11:03):
You know, here's here's the one thing I like about
the British language. I'm a little jealous because they use
swear words very effectively, like THEE. They used the C
word over there all the time. It's really kind of jarring.
Not not most people, but if you go into a
pub or whatever, it's just a term of affection. So
I am here for that. But yeah, yeah, it's uh,

(01:11:23):
that sounds like no fun. Did you enjoy London otherwise
or did you get stabbed?

Speaker 7 (01:11:27):
Oh?

Speaker 4 (01:11:27):
I did?

Speaker 7 (01:11:28):
It was great. My wife would have been that's their
third time.

Speaker 5 (01:11:32):
Excuse me, you did.

Speaker 1 (01:11:33):
I asked if you got stab sir, and you said yes.

Speaker 7 (01:11:36):
Oh no, no, no, no, not at all. But we
were eating lunch at the Red Line. It's just off
a big bed. The man there was just a parade
of people coming through there, so I would kind of
say my same thing. I said, men with whatever are
not chicks. So I would I would shout back.

Speaker 1 (01:11:53):
To him, Okay, well at least you're I'm not going
to say the word. Yeah no, no, no, no, I
understand sir. Yeah, all right, Well thanks for this spy
report there, because frankly, yeah, that's probably not going to
be a one day occurrence. And frankly, if I were
in the UK, I'd be worried, man, because again, you're

(01:12:14):
crushing somebody's identity that has been propped up for I
don't know what twenty years or something fifteen years, and
especially if somebody's younger, they're not going to react well
to that. And by the way, that's I don't see
the blame just on them, although I do if they
do something I would I see that on society who

(01:12:36):
wanted to move in this direction against all knowledge of
everything we have and we know, to justify it, and
also to try to create another swath of voter base
that they feel that they can then take for granted.
That's what you're dealing with here, and frankly, this would
be an opportune time for people in the political realm

(01:12:56):
to to try to find those within those groups who
may feel now disenfranchised to I don't want to say prosthetize,
but to profess why just maybe you can still be
whoever you want to be. You just can't force speech
on people, and that you should embrace the fact that,

(01:13:18):
you know, being an individual and having your own autonomy
and not having government tell you everything is probably a
pretty good thing, unless, of course, you run into Nancy Mace,
who I again, I don't understand this woman. Sometimes I
am perfectly sympathetic to what she talks about her ex
husband looks like an absolute lunatic. But I feel like

(01:13:39):
Nancy Mace is a little she's got a little victim
mentality and it's not positive. So I don't know if
you saw this. So she's she's in a beauty. She's
at a make I think it's an alta or is
an alta? Is that the makeup place? I'm not up
on my makeup story. It's a nice one though, right,
it's a nice one alta beauty. It's the one in
the mall that looks it looks like everything's third that

(01:14:01):
one and then up from there. So anyway, so she's
in there and a guy comes up to her and
asks her when she's going to hold another town hall.
He does not ask it disrespectfully. Now you can think
his motivation is I want you to hold another one
so me and my boys can come scream at you
in an organized manner as part of a democrat strategy

(01:14:21):
that unfolded with all these You can think that. But
if he just asks you about whether you're going to
hold one, tell him no, we're not, or yes we are,
or we're thinking about it. And then if he acts
like a jerk from there. Give it to him with
both barrels. I have no problem with that, but I
didn't pick up on that, and I just the direction

(01:14:43):
she went here is not helpful, and I think it'll
quickly become evident. Why, okay, all right, here we go.
I do an every year.

Speaker 10 (01:14:54):
You want to keep going? Do you want to keep going?

Speaker 14 (01:14:56):
If you were asking me, you could have gone to
a dozen towns halls last year?

Speaker 1 (01:15:02):
Was one simple question, Yeah, are you doing this?

Speaker 4 (01:15:04):
I've already done one.

Speaker 10 (01:15:05):
I'll do plenty more. You're always invited in. Okay, And
by the way, I voted.

Speaker 4 (01:15:11):
For gay marriage twice.

Speaker 5 (01:15:13):
I'm just saying it.

Speaker 6 (01:15:14):
Has everything to do with you think everything about me
has to.

Speaker 1 (01:15:17):
Do I do absolutely with me.

Speaker 6 (01:15:20):
Absolutely.

Speaker 14 (01:15:21):
If you want to get in my face about town halls,
you should have shown one last year.

Speaker 1 (01:15:26):
You can talk about me, just say oh, I support yeah,
Because you're.

Speaker 4 (01:15:29):
Getting in my face about a town hall.

Speaker 1 (01:15:31):
You could have gone last year. Would you like me
if you have and he plans to have four year?

Speaker 4 (01:15:36):
I have towns every year.

Speaker 10 (01:15:37):
I have over a dozen every year.

Speaker 1 (01:15:39):
That was my entire question. You didn't have to You
should not hand let me just bus she's not handling
this well. And I've seen a couple I've seen some
comments are like, well, why would she assume he's gay?
Let me just say this, and and and again. I
have no problem with this question. The dudes wearing booty
shorts and an all to buy makeup for himself. There's
some she's picking up maybe on that I don't know,

(01:16:03):
but clearly he said you know, he says, yes, I'm gay,
but it's not gay marriage is not my only issue.
And again I don't know this guy's politics, but I
just don't. I just don't understand why you react like that. Okay,
it doesn't make much sense to me. Now, maybe and
here's what I will hold out. Perhaps there's a history
that's not in it, that's not part of this story.

(01:16:25):
Like she's seen him at stuff. He's an activist, he
knows what's she knows what's up. I don't know any
of that. But as far as I can tell, all
he asked her was that question, and she got set off.

Speaker 2 (01:16:35):
Man and who not?

Speaker 1 (01:16:38):
Yeah, I probably the guy does want to come and
harass you. A couple of other things he says makes
it clear he's probably not a fan of her politics
or maybe he just wants to challenge you. There's a difference.
There's screaming so nobody else can talk, and then there's
asking questions that you may not like the answer to.
So anyway, all right, let's let's continue this in sanity.

Speaker 10 (01:17:00):
Have come to any of them last year, and I
had a well dozen.

Speaker 6 (01:17:04):
Where were you the year before that or the year
before that?

Speaker 1 (01:17:08):
Because you know what, because you people on the left
are crazy.

Speaker 6 (01:17:11):
You're absolutely.

Speaker 1 (01:17:14):
Right, and get out of my get out of my face, goodbye.

Speaker 10 (01:17:20):
To I'm not I won by so much.

Speaker 7 (01:17:26):
That's what you are.

Speaker 1 (01:17:27):
You're a disgrace. I asked you a simple question.

Speaker 2 (01:17:29):
And if you just go on his TI rate and
tell me, yeah, discussed.

Speaker 10 (01:17:32):
Out of my face, Get out of my face.

Speaker 1 (01:17:35):
What's your name? What's your name? What's your name?

Speaker 5 (01:17:39):
Ye? Absolutely my face?

Speaker 1 (01:17:43):
Now you okay? All right, so you know, good consis
and again people shave email. You don't know what happened
with the camera went on? She He says he just
asked the question. She does she never pushes back on that.
She's clearly triggered by the question. And if if she
and I have seen her statement after this, I have
seen repostings of the videos by people that are within

(01:18:06):
you know, within her orbit. Nobody's intimated that he asked
any other question than that. And I'm just point I'm
just pointing out, did she get a read on him
that he's probably not one of her voters? Yes? Is
does he make that clear while he's screaming at or
not screaming at her, but when he gets more heated there, absolutely,
but it's not helpful. And and the whole part where

(01:18:30):
you're just like I voted for the one thing that
I assume is your only thing that's equally not you
know why, because that aids your opposition, really boiling everyone
down to a single issue thing. That whole thing is
just it's not a good look.

Speaker 12 (01:18:46):
And I know some of it is.

Speaker 1 (01:18:47):
Every time I criticize Marjorie Taylor Green or Nancy Mace
or anybody, you guys get mad at me, I don't care.
Tell me that's help. And again, if he comes up
to her and he's just like, you know, f you
b where you're horrible, then I will I will sit
here with popcorn and watch her go off with them
for three minutes. I'm cool. But if you're an elected

(01:19:09):
official and somebody asks you a question and they're willing
to listen to the answer. And even if you think
there's an ulterior motive and you start going off on him, I.

Speaker 3 (01:19:22):
I get it.

Speaker 1 (01:19:23):
Don't get me wrong. Trump is course, man, Trump is course,
but he'll sit there and and he'll have a conversation
with anybody. You just had the whole Bill Martin going
on there like dude's got no problem with that. Then
if it doesn't go well towards you after, but come on,
full thing, man, whole thing, not bross. I'm gonna take

(01:19:43):
everyone's groc away if you keep if I know you're
not making you're not making these right, No, I'm not okay.

Speaker 2 (01:19:50):
You can see where people are sending them to me
on X A a com I'm sorry, that is a very.

Speaker 1 (01:19:56):
Good on X right now is busy watching Nancy may
scream with this dude in short shorts. Anyway, she knew
who he was, he created well, then they gave no
indication of that. And again I understand that might be
a theory, but I've not seen it written. We'll be
back phone number eight eight eight nine three four seven
eight seven four so you get on the show today.

(01:20:20):
Who could have seen this coming Canadian indie rock band,
The New Pornographers. You guys familiar with this band. They've
been around since the nineties. I'm actually familiar with them,
though I can't say as I could name any of
their songs. And like I said, they're Canadians, so they
chart well up there, I think. In the US though,
they chart in the top fifty, but never never single digits,

(01:20:44):
so you know, they're definitely you gotta be a fan
kind of stuff. But they've been around for a very
long time. Unfortunately, they're going to have to replace their drummer. Yes,
that's right, Joseph says. Siders pronounce that who is He's
not the original drummer, but he is the most recent

(01:21:05):
for quite some time. Was arrested by Riverside County. So
this is in Los Angeles or excuse me, I'm sorry,
this is out actually in Palm de Desert. There's Riversides
all the way over there. So he's at a Chick
fil A and according to authorities, somebody reported a suspicious

(01:21:25):
activity at the Chick fil A restaurant. Officers then showed
up took a statement from an eleven year old boy
who told them that an unknown male adult had recorded
him on his cell phone while he was using the bathroom.
So you know, top level child predator accusations there. And
then they actually have video because Chick fil A has cameras,

(01:21:48):
and you see the man entering and exiting the restroom
a company by juvenile mails and then they looked allegedly
and they looked onto his devices and there you go.
So they oh, and they searched his house and his
vehicle and all that. They found evidence of previous video
voyeurism in bathrooms, according to the charging documents, as well

(01:22:11):
as a healthy collection of child pornography. So the band
immediately parted ways with him, and so he gets to
he gets to hang out as an accused showmo at
one of the California lock up facilities.

Speaker 5 (01:22:28):
But like.

Speaker 1 (01:22:31):
I mean, the band's name is The New Pornographers, So
there's that. And in case you're wondering how they got that,
it's an homage to there's a Japanese film called The Pornographers,
and obviously they were riffing off that when they came
up with it. So but that's you know, gotta be
careful what your band name is, because if it ever

(01:22:51):
comes to pass, you're gonna be Now you're gonna get
more media coverage, including from people have never heard of
your arras. You never heard of this band? Right?

Speaker 10 (01:23:01):
Uh?

Speaker 1 (01:23:01):
Never? Never? Yeah, I remember, you know what this band was.
There's gonna insult some of you. This band was one
of those where your buddy was a fan and then
they would always try to play something for you and
you're like, h yeah, I remember. This was late nineties
when they came on the scene. So we you know,
we're we're full on grunge. We're making that transition like
it's a busy uh, vying for my attention is very busy.

Speaker 2 (01:23:25):
I'm sorry, I was eating before. Did they have anything
like any song I would know or did they have
like a top forty hit or anything.

Speaker 1 (01:23:32):
I think they charted top forty once in fact that
I was actually tried to look this up here in
the US. All right, hold on, let me their studio
albums did okay, but never single digits in the US.
Let's see here, let me come the US Triple a's

(01:23:53):
all right, this is actually I shouldn't say that. I
actually had they had a top five high ticket attraction
would be their their biggest and then that's there's a
couple others their top twenty, so they on they had
one in the top ten high ticket attractions, and that's
I don't know. I honestly, I couldn't even tell you

(01:24:14):
how it goes. So no, they did do They did
a Fleetwood Mac tribute album that actually did pretty well.
I remember hearing something from that, but it's like, for me,
it wasn't this one. Like, let me give you an example.
What's the band I'm thinking of? Firehouse? Do you guys
like Firehouse? Don't know who Firehouse is? They're Canadian too,
I think they like I would see friends of mine

(01:24:35):
who had a Firehouse CD and I could never understand
because there was no song on there where I'm like,
oh this is good. Yeah, so they're kind of they're
kind of that middling there. But also it's not good
if your drummers out messing with kids allegedly, so that's
probably not going to go well again. Your band name
should never come to fruition in a criminal manner because

(01:24:56):
now you're going to get the extra pub over it.
So also, you know, if you got a more heinous name,
chances are it'll be a more heinous thing. There's ever
a zombie outbreak and little white zombie action there. So
then it turns into a whole thing. Speaking to turn
it into a whole thing, I had to watch this

(01:25:17):
to fully appreciate just the sheer stupidity of Van Holland's
trip down to El Salvador. So they set him up
in a you know, they set him up there in
a essentially a hotel restaurant. They carted him on over,
and there's these drinks in front of them that appear

(01:25:37):
to have a salt or a sugar rim and the
eagle eyed alcoholics among the media intelligentsiare like, that looks
like a margarita, albeit a white margarita, whereas I want
something a little more REPISATOI but that's just me, and
I don't know. Some people thought that was weird. Why

(01:25:58):
are you sitting there with the guy who's literally in
arcerated right now having a drink with him as MS thirteen,
what are you doing? And I don't know if you
guys saw the pictures of this dude's knuckles and watching
people contort themselves to pretend that that is not literally
an MS thirteen tattoo like symbolism within tattoos is a

(01:26:19):
real thing. People look it up because they're trying to
play Oh, just because he had tattooed. No, he has
MS thirteen, albeit in photos coated on his knuckles, and
I'm sorry. You just don't do that unless you're on
the team, not if you're smart. The fact that he

(01:26:40):
wasn't murdered immediately in a room full of MS thirteen
members with that tattoo probably tells you something. And just
watching the stupid debate over this, but you gotta ask yourself,
how is this idiot senator sitting down there and not
realizing but not realizing that, like you're sitting there with

(01:27:09):
at the very least, somebody who likely abuses his wife
a lot, a lot, a lot, not to mention the
other stuff. And we could play games. Well, he should
have been imported at El Salvador because the gang ruling,
which of course I reminded you, why would you fear
another gang if you're not in one? But that has
come to pass, and it is the administration's position that

(01:27:30):
that order is not That doesn't hold water anymore because
El Salvador is not the most dangerous murder capital of
the world. It's largely one of the least amounts of murders.
So the thing that was stopping you from doing the
thing doesn't exist anymore. But how do you come to
terms with it? Well, he figured out a way, and

(01:27:50):
it just shows you how disingenuous.

Speaker 2 (01:27:53):
This all is.

Speaker 14 (01:27:53):
Now, President Trump says that some of Abrego Garcia's tattoos
signify that he's a member of MS thirteen. In twenty nineteen,
police allege a confidential informant claimed that Abrego Garcia was
an active MS thirteen member.

Speaker 10 (01:28:11):
His wife and his attorney deny that.

Speaker 14 (01:28:13):
Of course, can you say with absolute certainty that he
is not, nor has he ever been a member of
the MS thirteen gang?

Speaker 10 (01:28:20):
And did you ask him point blank?

Speaker 13 (01:28:24):
Well, Dana, what Donald Trump is trying to do here
is change the subject the subject.

Speaker 1 (01:28:30):
It's so wild that his opening volley was. What Donald
Trump's trying to do here is change the subject as
he changes the subject.

Speaker 13 (01:28:37):
And is that he and his administration are define a
court order to give people to give a Brego Garcia
his due process rights.

Speaker 1 (01:28:48):
And I want to point out too that this is
how let me explain to you the fact that we're
going to sit here and pretend that you don't. There's
due process, and then there's the long form due process,
and when you apply for asylum, it's a short form thing,
right you do. Process can be that hearing and then
all if you go. But the idea that you're going
to have and these activist groups are going to drag

(01:29:09):
out years of due process on everybody in the country
illegally when it's been flooded with millions and millions, is
the is the ultimate spit in the eye and they're
going to need to figure something out. And that's it.
It shows you how diabolical the plan was in the
first place to let everyone in. Oh, well, now you've
got to spend years on each person. Well good, we'll

(01:29:30):
be here for a millennium, all right, Van Holland, answer
the damn question. Did you even ask the guy if
he's in MS thirteen or look at his hand which
his wife strategically covers in photos she's using the fundraise
with heart emojis. I don't know if it Rossnie, you
see that, or she's posting photos here's my love and
husband and then she puts emojis over his hand, whether

(01:29:51):
it's are wrapped around her, you know, like I hugging
your wife from behind thing.

Speaker 4 (01:29:54):
I have it.

Speaker 2 (01:29:54):
But women do love the emoji.

Speaker 1 (01:29:56):
So they do. But strategically right over the hand that
has MS thirteen thing on the knuckles.

Speaker 2 (01:30:02):
Oh is that weird?

Speaker 12 (01:30:03):
Is that?

Speaker 9 (01:30:03):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (01:30:04):
That's a little weird. Those people like put them above
their heads. They oh, were so in love. Not on
the hand in the middle of the photo. That's strange.

Speaker 13 (01:30:10):
They're trying to litigate on social media what they should
be doing in the courts. They need to put up
or shut up in the courts.

Speaker 10 (01:30:17):
Let me tell you.

Speaker 13 (01:30:18):
I decided to write this down so I could be
absolutely accurate as to what Federal District Courts Judge Zennis
said about these allegations by the Trump administration. Quote, no
evidence linking of Brago Garcia to MS thirteen or any
terrorist activity.

Speaker 1 (01:30:35):
Witness statement confidential informant to other judges, rulings, and physical
tattoos that are MS thirteen known gang symbols, but no EVI.

Speaker 13 (01:30:47):
Has been presented to the court. That's where to litigate this.
That's It's been litigated in many other places. So I'm
not going to get into the details.

Speaker 1 (01:30:55):
He means the whole purpose of our court.

Speaker 13 (01:30:57):
System is for them to adjudicate these things, not for
Donald Trump to go off on social media.

Speaker 10 (01:31:03):
Yeah, you're right, they have not. There hasn't been a
court hearing for them.

Speaker 9 (01:31:08):
To put forward.

Speaker 2 (01:31:09):
There has.

Speaker 1 (01:31:09):
There's literally been asylum hearing on this already. There has,
and then there was a secondary one. There has just
not in front of this judge. So they're lying to.

Speaker 10 (01:31:19):
Port evidence in the first place, which is your whole point.

Speaker 14 (01:31:21):
But since you were the one person to have met
with him, and since this is a thing you say
on social media, it's what we hear.

Speaker 10 (01:31:28):
From Donald Trump and Republicans every day all day long,
you didn't ask him.

Speaker 13 (01:31:35):
I didn't ask him that because I know what his
answer is. What he told me was he was sad
and traumatized that he was being in prison because he
has committed no crimes.

Speaker 1 (01:31:47):
So you didn't ask. You didn't ask if literally the
thing that we all are. You didn't absolutely you know why,
because you don't want the answer. Yeah, he probably would
get a lie. But I'm sorry, somebody who's accused of
human trafficking and is likely in one of the most
violent gangs is traumatized because he got caught.

Speaker 2 (01:32:03):
It's so dumb. He says he didn't ask him because
it would make him sad. Yeah, he would give him
the sads, you know.

Speaker 1 (01:32:08):
Yeah, Hey, Charlie, why did you have your people murder
those people? How dare you? Oh dear, I'm so sad.
I'm gonna go draw another SWASTI co on my forehead.
All right? Oh crap, look at the clock, all right,
race stage and twins, no gang tattoos, real quick?

Speaker 5 (01:32:21):
What you get?

Speaker 1 (01:32:22):
Yeah, it looks good today. Yeah, lo to mid eighties today.

Speaker 8 (01:32:25):
Some partial sun kind of a mix right now, but
all looks like from the satellite picture of the clouds
are winning this one.

Speaker 2 (01:32:31):
Mild night.

Speaker 1 (01:32:32):
Tonight will stay dried.

Speaker 8 (01:32:33):
Then Tuesday Wednesday will start throwing around some showers, stutter
showers widely scattered around, so you know it goes. You
hear it's gonna rain. Everybody's like, and you don't get rain.
You say, well, he said it's gonna rain. Now it's
not gonna be for everybody. Sunshine and partly sunny sky
in between both days. Load to mid eighties Tuesday, we
will drop back to the mid uppers seventies on Wednesday,
and again we'll just scatter the wet weather around. Probably

(01:32:54):
through the rest of the week too, So I don't
see this big organized system, Casey of all day rain
just kind of hit miss, kind of sounds like the
season right springtime, hit miss, storms scattered, some days, a
little more, some days a little less.

Speaker 2 (01:33:06):
Well morning, Casey.

Speaker 15 (01:33:07):
The Sell America trade gathering steam on Wall Street may
be setting the stage for a rough start to the
new week.

Speaker 1 (01:33:13):
In addition to.

Speaker 15 (01:33:14):
Tariffs, investors very worried now about reports President Trump has
not given up on the possibility of trying to oust
Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell. We have the futures lower
right across the board now, futures down three hundred and
thirty five points. And lawyers for Google face off today
against the Justice Department and a Washington courtroom. The government

(01:33:36):
is accusing Google of turning its popular search engine into
a monopoly. It's seeking to force the company to sell
its Chrome browser and take other steps to increase competition.
The chief executive of Volkswagen toying with an idea that
could help the company avoid some of President Trump's tariffs.
He told a German news agency that VW may build

(01:33:57):
some Audi cars in the US. Talks all ready underway
with Washington, DHL hit pause on shipments of parcels worth
more than eight hundred dollars to individuals here in the US.
The Global Shipping Company issued a statement saying parcels worth
as little as eight hundred dollars now require formal entry
processing by US customs that's resulting in multi day transit delays.

(01:34:21):
The prior threshold for processing was twenty five hundred dollars.
Boeing now feeling the impact of the trade war. Some
seven thirty seven jets have been refused by the Chinese
airlines that ordered the planes. Boeing has started flying the
aircraft back to the US. This may be the summer
of staycations for a lot of people. Unlike other post

(01:34:42):
pandemic summers, fewer than half of all Americans say they're
planning to travel this year. Bankrate reports just forty six
percent of adults expect to be taking a trip. Many
travelers will be taking on debt to pay for their travels.
Among those who won't be spending their vacations away from home,
many say they just can't afford the cost of a getaway,

(01:35:03):
and casey vampires ruled the movie theater box offices over
the weekend, the horror Flick Centers opened in first place.
It's a Warner Brothers film. It took in and estimated
forty five million dollars.

Speaker 1 (01:35:15):
Casey, they're not all glittery again, are they not? That
I know of?

Speaker 15 (01:35:19):
I haven't haven't seen it, haven't even seen a preview.

Speaker 1 (01:35:22):
All right, you didn't get into the Twilight stuff? Huh?
Not for you did not? Okay, all right, thanks, Jeff,
appreciate it.

Speaker 2 (01:35:27):
Okay, have a good day.

Speaker 9 (01:35:29):
There you go.

Speaker 1 (01:35:30):
I'm cool with vampires. I just don't need any glittery ones.
That resting beface what's her name has to choose between
or whatever. Anyway, what's going on? MSNBC? Can we do
a welfare check over there? It said they're not they're
having some issues. This is this a little something they

(01:35:51):
aired over the weekend. Tell me what you think this
likelihood is.

Speaker 10 (01:35:55):
I've been talking about this all week.

Speaker 16 (01:35:56):
But Janay Nelson of the NAACP Legal Defense Fun she
to op ed in the Nation this week, and her
op ed talked about that we think the democracies are
the way they die is dramatically through these wars and
blood is shed and it's it's it's cinematic in a sense,
but really the realistic way in which democracies die is

(01:36:20):
that it's dismantled, brick by brick, piece by piece.

Speaker 1 (01:36:22):
Right by you. This is Simone Sanders, by the way,
former Bernie Bernie advisor, Hillary Advisory. So this is one
of the lunatics doing the dismantle and.

Speaker 16 (01:36:32):
She says that what we are seeing now with the
lawlessness from this administration are really the canaries and the
coal mine.

Speaker 10 (01:36:40):
Gasping for air.

Speaker 16 (01:36:41):
I'm paraphrasing here, but to me, that is why Kilmar
Albergo Garcia's specific case, the case of the gentleman who's
a makeup artist out of California who was also sent
to that prison. That is why the more the seventy
five percent of the folks who have been sent the
men who have been sent there that don't have criminal records,

(01:37:01):
that is why this is so important. Because if they
could do it to them, if they could snatch students
off the street without.

Speaker 1 (01:37:07):
Any push to the stupid, they will do it to.

Speaker 10 (01:37:10):
Any of us.

Speaker 16 (01:37:10):
It's to be very clear, it's gonna be the people
of color and vulnerable communities.

Speaker 1 (01:37:14):
That are our next day. Shut up, all right, So
they're gonna start deporting black people. Is that they are
who have been Our American citizens were born here, their
families have been born What are you? When is that happening?

Speaker 9 (01:37:26):
Ross?

Speaker 1 (01:37:27):
What day is that?

Speaker 4 (01:37:27):
Do we know
