Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Start, then I have to finish and we've gotta do
a whole show, and then they're gonna want like a
week of shows and oh well nothing, nothing we can do.
Good morning everybody. Yes, we are back rehired or however
you want to put it. It is the CaCO Day
Radio program. And what a week we missed? What a

(00:23):
week we missed? Some a little bit of news going on.
We'll do it, obviously, we'll do some recappen but I'm
not gonna dwell. You all have the Internet and news
alerts and time on Twitter and all of that. But
we leave and then all of a sudden, we have
a new pope. Now it was predictable, obviously, because the

(00:45):
last pope died and we knew what was up. What
was not predictable, though, though it was mentioned on this show,
was that he was he was going to be an
American And uh ross, you called it? Good job, buddy,
I mean, I don't know, did you call it or

(01:05):
you just wanted no I did?

Speaker 2 (01:07):
I did?

Speaker 1 (01:07):
Oh you have called it.

Speaker 2 (01:09):
I have a gift, okay, And my studio sounds completely
different and it's messing with my head. Somebody's been in here.

Speaker 1 (01:16):
Yeah. Well, somebody's been in the whole building because now,
as Ross put it this morning, uh, the studios are
the death Star.

Speaker 2 (01:24):
So yeah, no, they put up the like the glass
and the boot of the furniture and stuff, and you
walk in now and it's like red, white and black
and it looks like the I feel like I'm working
for like the Empire.

Speaker 1 (01:36):
It's the style guy. It looks exactly like the new
Greensborough studios. Although we don't have new boards.

Speaker 2 (01:41):
No, yeah we don't. We're walking through and I'm like,
I feel like I'm hunting like casting and or Luthen
or something.

Speaker 1 (01:45):
I'm like, yeah, that means so. Yeah. So so the
episodes of and Or continue to be good.

Speaker 2 (01:55):
I'm so good.

Speaker 1 (01:56):
Yeah yeah, okay, good good good? Uh So, how was
how was your week off with? I'm just saying this
because you've acquired something and I just want to get
this out of the way because it is pretty cool.
Although I was a little creeped out listening to the
video you posted of it yesterday. Where does one find
an earnest p world doll? That's That's what I'm like.

(02:19):
Are those still hot sellars down where your wife's family
is from? Yeah?

Speaker 2 (02:21):
I know they're down in like co Monroe, Louisiana, and
they're always like hunting down like antique shops and stuff
like that. Like yeah, and like they it was just
laying there next to like an lsu frying pan or something,
and she sent me a photo. She's like, hey, do
you want this? I'm like, yeah, I do.

Speaker 1 (02:34):
Yeah. Why would she ask? Why do you write? Yeah?
And then she shipped down the suitcase.

Speaker 2 (02:39):
She brings it back after like, I hope you enjoyed
your vacation. My week, like I said, I was home
alone watching my severely autistic child and it was the
most stressful, anxious week I've had in a long time.
Like I actually need a week off from the week
off watching being home with my son. Like it was
so bad. So she brought home this doll, this earnest doll,
and it's the greatest thing ever. Brought so much joy

(03:00):
after the week. And uh, to make it even better,
it has like a polstering on the back, right, but
it's so old that it sounds like it's haunted.

Speaker 1 (03:07):
It does it's Annabelle. It's uh, that's this is how
annabel came to be man, But I don't know if
you're into the horror flix.

Speaker 2 (03:15):
Oh the adventures we could do. I could take it
to camp I could take it to prison, I could
take it to Africa.

Speaker 1 (03:21):
You know, Oh no you can't. Oh no, no, by
go ahead and memory hold that one. So yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
How many of you knew there was an Ernest Goes
to Africa?

Speaker 2 (03:29):
I know I was gonna watch it, but it's like
twenty five dollars to rent and the cover arts interesting,
it's pretty bad.

Speaker 1 (03:38):
Would you say that Ernest could be if he were,
he could be the Prime Minister of Canada, per se possible, possible,
Maybe the governor of Virginia maybe, yeah, the previous one. Yeah.
So when it's when it speaks, it's uh, it's it's
not quite Ernest's voice, but it's definitely the catchphrase. I

(04:00):
couldn't understand all of them.

Speaker 2 (04:02):
The thing had to be around since the late eighties
or something like me. Oh yeah, so, I mean the
voice box is shot so you can but.

Speaker 1 (04:08):
It still works. It sounds, which is ul whether it's
whether it is through the power of Satan or just
the fact that we used to build toys a little tougher.

Speaker 2 (04:17):
Anyway, stress all week in a bro me joy.

Speaker 1 (04:20):
So yeah, no, no, no, I'm happy for you, man.
I just think it's just, you know, usually when a
parent goes, you know, it goes out of town for
it for work or for whatever, right, like, oh, we
got to bring the I gotta make sure we bring
something back for the kids. And your wife brings you
an earnest doll and that's just that's awesome. So AnyWho,
so you know, that kind of in a nutshell, and

(04:42):
then everyone's back to work and now it's gonna flood.
So what did they say? Up to four inches or something?
In some places we'll get we'll get stagic. I don't
even know who's our weather guy today. One of them
will be along at some point and we will querry them.
But hopefully it's not What did you see ross? You
see the video of the hailstorm in Nashville, golf ball

(05:04):
size hail So no one was that uh Saturday or Friday?
It's really bad. Uh hang, I tweeted out the video.
Let me just uh, I have to scroll down a
little there. Uh yeah, scroll down about seven or eight posts. Uh,

(05:25):
there's a video. It says devastating floods last year, forest
fires followed, and then in the last couple of days
Western North Carolina, specifically Asheville's where there's videos from it
with both an earthquake and crazy hailstorm. That's insane, man, like,
I don't know what you guys said to mother Nature
up there, but apologize geez that is and and it's

(05:50):
just devastating cars or some poor cow that's just getting
walloped and uh. And then when it's hitting like pools
and stuff, man, and they're not they're not lying. That
is a golf ball sized hail Just uh, just wild times.
And then yeah, they had a earthquake. I think what
did they settle at four point one that was tactical.
I guess it was just into eastern Tennessee, so probably

(06:15):
I doubt anyone to try had Triangle felt it. I
didn't read anything that said that, but uh yeah, just
absolutely wild times. Man, go away for a week, everything
goes crazy. But then there's this and let me tell you.
Let me tell you it's always when we go out

(06:37):
of town or we take it some time off that
some of the craziest stories emerge. And then I have
to make a decision, especially if it's in the front
part of like a week long vacation. I have to go,
is this still going to be relevant when we get
back on you know, Monday or whatever the day is
we come back. And I battle with that, so I
put stuff in like a maybe folder, and then I

(06:59):
get to sit down on the night before when I'm
putting the first packet together to figure out, right, what
are we going to talk about if people still gonna
care about this? And I gotta tell you it's really
nice when very early in the vacation a story comes
along and I immediately know is gonna be evergreen And
I don't even have to worry about that, And I've
got one all ready to go for the first prep

(07:19):
packet back, and I'll tell you what that story is
coming up next. Here on the CaCO Day radio programs today,
a quick recap of the recap. They figured out a
new pope. He's American immediately because this is what we
do now, and mostly because I don't maybe this is

(07:41):
the first pope we've been able to do it. Uh.
You know, whenever somebody is thrust into the news in
any way, shape or form, what do we immediately do?
We go dig around in their social media and you
really haven't been able to do that with the Pope before,
and this one you can, and it's ross and never

(08:02):
just have this conversation off the air. It's like either
he's a super Trump hating progression. It's clear that he
disagrees with Trump when it comes to immigration stuff like
that's not even in debate. But it's like the media
seems happy because I think they think that he's going

(08:22):
to fight with Trump, which is it's just it's so predictable,
like I almost don't even bring it up, but you
kind of have to bring it up because it was
just kind of disturbing to I was disturbing to watch
all of the media's coverage really, like when when the
Cardinals were locked in doing their thing, this is like

(08:43):
this is some of the reporting you're getting, right, all right,
just phrasing. Okay, here we go.

Speaker 3 (08:50):
One thing to understand is that all of that takes time.
You know, we imagine in the conclave that there's always
charge political debate going on. No inside the Sistine Chaplains
so well, virtually the entire time that the cardinals are
inside is given over to the ritual of the balloting.
Each ballot takes about an hour and a half, and
with this extraordinary number of electors, it'll probably even take

(09:12):
a little longer.

Speaker 2 (09:13):
So they sit the whole time.

Speaker 3 (09:14):
They don't stand up, and most of them will tell
you no, most of them will tell you that while
that's going on, they're sitting reading their breath. Ay, that's
a book of prayers that clergy have, or praying a rosary,
or doing the one thing we know they're not doing
is checking Instagram because their devices will all.

Speaker 2 (09:32):
I believe the kids. I believe the kids call it
raw dogging. It if you're going to go through a
long period of time with no electronic device.

Speaker 1 (09:38):
Yeah, yeah, okay, But also that's used in other ways,
which I know, you know, and I.

Speaker 4 (09:48):
What is it?

Speaker 1 (09:49):
The girls say, case of the X there. I don't
know what that is. Please don't use the term raw
dogging and the people conclave okay, all right, good, okay, wonderful,
But have to wait much after that. I think it
was what fourth ballot? Third or fourth ballot? Oh, I
was gonna confirm that it's not two different well whatever,

(10:09):
you know, reasonably fast and then boom here it comes
and the black smoke, they'll excuse me, the white smoke
is there, the black smoke is gone, and and now
everyone gathers in Saint Peter Square and it's a big reveal,
and you got to wait about an hour. So there's
a lot of speculation. Maybe some info leaks, maybe it doesn't.
And who walks out one of the cardinals from Chicago,

(10:33):
although kind of from Peru too, And that's that's basically
his life from Chicago. Did you see the video emerging
him of him all donned in his white Sox gear
at the games. Apparently he's a big baseball fan, let's see.
And then you know, we start learning about him. And

(10:54):
immediately what comes up are some some posts that are
critical of Trump, specifically on immigration. And all of a sudden,
I'm watching NBC news Is broadcasts. They get really excited.
Oh they got they bring people in. They're speculating like, oh, well,
what does this mean. Maybe he's going to use this power?

(11:16):
And and these are mostly people who mock people who
are religious behind the scenes. You know, when you get
when you get into some of these progressive newsrooms. It's
not to say that there's not people who are religious
in there, but generally, if they're doing a story about
organized religion. It's not necessarily a positive one. But if

(11:37):
they think they can use the guy to go after Trump, fine,
uh And so those things start getting highlighted, but also
other stuff comes out. This is what Ross and I
were talking about. The guy but for all practical purposes,
seems to be very very pro life, which used to
be a hallmark of.

Speaker 2 (11:56):
The of you know, he calls it this the smallest minority.
Like you said, you need to fight for the smallest minority,
which is the unborn child.

Speaker 1 (12:03):
Yeah, yeah, which you know you should. It used to
be basically baked in with the pope, but it's you know,
strange times. The other thing, what were you said to
read something about is the nuclear family?

Speaker 2 (12:16):
Well he was talking about he said that mass immigration
was going to be the downfall in Italy and it
had to be controlled. And he also was saying that
he believed that the corruption of the nuclear family, when
it comes to you know, lgbt Q type stuff, is
going to be the downfall of the West. So I mean, yeah,
I don't think stuff, Yeah he's not.

Speaker 1 (12:35):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (12:36):
He also came out in the traditional Guard, which we
haven't seen in a while. So a lot of like
because I'm red following a lot of big Christian accounts
now like religious accounts, and they're coming out these quotes
and a lot of times what he's saying is it
seems like he's like a very based pope, and they
seem excited about it. But then you have other people
saying that he's a crazy progressive liberal. So I don't
know which one it is.

Speaker 1 (12:56):
Well, and and so I here's what I'd say, give
it a little time. Maybe give it a little time.
I mean, obviously Ross was happy.

Speaker 2 (13:03):
He was right.

Speaker 1 (13:05):
I mean, that's really all that matters, right, although I
don't think you're one hundred percent right, because I did
notice you posted some h some things over the weekend.
Congrats to Pope Leo the fourteenth on winning free olive
garden for life.

Speaker 2 (13:20):
It's part of the deal.

Speaker 1 (13:22):
Why is everything olive garden?

Speaker 2 (13:24):
The prize got an olive garden. When you leave the
Vatican through the gift shop.

Speaker 1 (13:28):
I've literally been there, there's no olive garden.

Speaker 2 (13:33):
They must have been. It must must have been a
different time or something.

Speaker 1 (13:36):
It was not that it was. I don't know, it's
I guess it's been over ten years. But but like
olive garden, was around. The olive Garden was peaking at
that joint. They did not have one in the Vatican
gift shop. Now they do have like a courier shops
gift shops. They have a little story there where you
can get some refreshments and like it, you know, because

(13:57):
it's a proper country kind of but not really, but
at a gift shops a little a little strong. The
word that I'd used for it, I was, there was
no olive gard Just my point.

Speaker 2 (14:08):
I was spending some time, I was broadcasting a twitch
and suddenly my chap blew up, and yeah, my phone
notifications start going off, and it's like Facebook dms and
Twitter dms and everybody's like, dude, American Pope, you nailed it.
And I thought people were messing with me. I'm like,
shut up, there's no way.

Speaker 1 (14:24):
Well I texted you, so yeah, I'm like, made it happen.

Speaker 2 (14:29):
Marky texted me. She's like, American Pope.

Speaker 1 (14:32):
Well, because you know that. You know the reason why
that's so surprising, right, you know the reason why I
was told. Look, I was raised Catholic, and the one
thing I was always told because I was naturally inquisitive
as a kid, is how come there's never American popes?
And my super Catholic grandparents were convinced that there never
would be, And it was the idea that it would

(14:53):
you can't have an American pope because then one country's
allegiance would uh you know, there was concern that they
would then bend the will of the church to benefit
a country, and I don't necessarily believe that, but it
was about a power in balance. Well, we're gonna find
out because US has twenty five percent of the world's Catholics.

Speaker 2 (15:13):
Man, you mean, like a superpower can't have a pope?
Is that what they meant?

Speaker 1 (15:17):
I mean, I'm sure some of you are happy about it.
I hate that first alarm after a week off. But
luckily my body's like, why don't we wake up a
half hour early today just cuz so we are off
and running. So we were talking about obviously you know
a few things that we missed. Don't worry, we will
get into ABC News's big scoop about Trump's Katari plane

(15:40):
and believe it or not, one it's not really a
new story. I was so confused because it's such a
crazy allegation. The way that they worded it if I
was misconstruing two different stories because like the whole plane
thing and Trump is not a news story. And then
had ABC News with anonymous sources decided to turn it

(16:03):
into a whole thing. Man, And we'll dive into that,
but we were just kind of looking back on what
was going on with all the pope insanity there. Just
there's a couple observations one and I watched, you know,
I watched it. I happen to turn on I've had
NBC on and just you know, just grab whatever one
was streaming it there. And so I'm watching, I'm watching

(16:27):
the Pope come out and you know, the new Pope
come out and do his address, and of course he
does the initial address in Latin, which you know, that's
that's pretty standard, pretty standard stuff obviously for for the Pope.
And then he does something that his predecessor did where

(16:49):
he pivoted to Spanish. And the reason he speaks Spanish
is he's he was in Peru for the Church for
like a third of his life, so obviously his Spanish
is very top notch. And I was a little disappointed
that he didn't then pivot and say a few words
in English, and if you if you don't think, if

(17:12):
if you don't think that that's not something that has
given some thought, I'd be really surprised. And I and
and because again I get the hey, let's talk, you know,
let's uh, let's let's speak to let's speak Spanish, because
that's obviously where he's most well known is in Peru,

(17:33):
where the majority of of his his career has been
has been right from Chicago, but but in Peru. And
you can't go to a Latin American country and not
be primarily Catholic. So there's that. And you know, the
equal amount of Central and South America number of Catholics
is basically equal to the US, like North and South

(17:55):
American continent are half the world's Catholics. So there's that,
and let's see here. But it also was historical in
the sense that you have the first pope that speaks
English is his primary language, and it would have been
very I don't know, symbolic, I think, just to say

(18:17):
a few words in English. And I was kind of
surprised that he didn't. And of course then I said,
you know, I go on and I read and he
got people who are upset in other countries and I'm
just like, look, just just why don't you wait and
see what's going on. At the end of the day,
there's not a whole lot that changes. Okay, really not,

(18:41):
but there could have been a couple things there that
I think would have been commemorative in the same way
that the previous pope, because it was from Argentina, and
this pope, due to spending a lot of his career
in Peru, made a point to communicate in Spanish. I
will I would point out that during our vacation, I
was in one of these Spanish speaking Latin American countries,

(19:02):
and they were very excited. They were very excited that
this was going on, even though he was an American
pope that he was, you know, he had that connection
to Peru. So I'm cool with that, but not saying
anything in English, like I would have liked one little
indicator recognizing that. I know it's a little nitpicky, but

(19:24):
I thought it would have been cool, because like when
you're a kid, I don't know how many of you
are Catholic or a raised Catholic, A lot comes at
you real fast. I'm not to say it's not in
other religions that you have this as well, but like
you know, when you're cranking up and then catechism and
then all this stuff that goes on, and the head
of your church is always somebody who you can't understand.

(19:51):
I'm trying to put this for a kids filter, right,
It's always interesting. It always seems. It always seemed to
me kind of disconnected. Not that we didn't have have
you know, the parish priests there and and you know,
the very when I go to my grandparents their church,
they went to a different church because obviously they didn't
live where I lived, and like, and he had that,

(20:11):
and so even though you were in a different church,
it was very familiar, which I did like. But it
was always this kind of the the guy in charge,
well the second in charge so to speak, uh is
always the he's some Italian dude overseas. And then Pope
John Paul came, he came to Denver and like that
was the whole thing, and and like and then that,

(20:33):
so to have a pope standing there, even in you know,
down on I'm in my forties, with a little with
a little nod to the English, I still would have
thought that was kind of cool, at the very least.
Ross what they should have done if he didn't want
to speak English is when they were having him do
the walk on, remind folks he's from Chicago. Can you imagine?

Speaker 2 (20:54):
I did know? I was thinking the same thing.

Speaker 1 (20:56):
You're standing at Saint Peter's Square way for an hour,
you're talking amongst yourself. You're happy, but you're on your feet,
but you've gathered, you've left work. Everything shuts down in
Rome when this happens, because it's a panemonium people trying
to get there. And then all of a sudden, when

(21:16):
you're you just think you can't wait anymore, all of
a sudden, the speakers and Saint Peter Square start blaring
the about of height. I'm sorry, I don't think I
don't if you did that. I And let me just say.

Speaker 2 (21:32):
Listen, when you heard that music play, you know the
game was over. The game was already over when that started.
The game was over.

Speaker 1 (21:39):
The fifth dude they were going to introduce when that
music started playing was was why you were there, and
it was going to be amazing. But like, I'm sorry,
if if if they'd have done that, if I could,
for just a moment, I would be the greatest walk
on ever wouldn't it in all of baseball, in all
of wrestling, you know, it would be a great signist.

(22:03):
It would be the unstopped who had who has the
greatest walk on in wrestling?

Speaker 2 (22:08):
Probably maybe Original Entertainer Undertaker, maybe even John Cena.

Speaker 1 (22:13):
Yeah, nothing, rookie, right, if you're the pope, if you're
the new Pope and you come walking out to that
holy cow man, So yeah, I would have I would
have liked to see that.

Speaker 2 (22:25):
But she would have liked some English too, So like
he does it in Latin and Spanish and then he's
like duh bears something like that.

Speaker 1 (22:31):
Dude, Just yeah, you know why because it is historical.

Speaker 2 (22:34):
Can we agree that this pope probably is even more
sausage or deep dish pizza than any of the pope
that it's ever come before him?

Speaker 1 (22:42):
Well, I don't know he had a German pope.

Speaker 2 (22:45):
At least with a deep dish.

Speaker 1 (22:47):
Yeah, because remember he was they were like, oh, there
he is is a hitler youth right for all that,
And it's like, which was a total smear by the way, right,
and it failed to wreckon guys, what was done to
essentially twelve year olds Towards the end of the war
and really the choices that they didn't have. But but yeah,

(23:08):
so I don't I don't know is Chicago, which is
largely germanically influenced, or you know, from Germany because they
do like to eat some sausage, but you know, Germany
doesn't have this. No, And he didn't say the same
thing that he said in Latin and Spanish. He said

(23:30):
something different. He was basically complimentary of his predecessor, and
you know, just talking about his love of the Catholic
church down in South America there.

Speaker 2 (23:41):
And Dicka too, and Mike Dicka big fan.

Speaker 1 (23:47):
Yeah is he I mean he's I'm assuming he's a
Bears fans. He's a white Sox fan, which is already
a decision, right, it is already a decision. But if
he's a champion of the down trodden, it's probably the
right decision in in a Chicago setting, right. So but

(24:09):
h yeah, man, I would I would have liked to
see a little English there. Look, there was a there.
People are sending me stuff while I'm literally talking about
he's a white Sox fan. I know, I know. Oh,
they already got a oh they had a Pope night
already at the socks game perfect. Oh we went to

(24:34):
a World Series game too, Yes, dudes, all in, dude,
this is what it says. So this is This is
a screenshot from the big Jumbo tron at the Sox Stadium.
It says White Sox probably congratulate the South Side's very
own Pope, Leo the fourteenth, named the two hundred and

(24:55):
sixty eighth Pope the Roby Catholic. Thank you for specifying
which Churchy's the pope.

Speaker 2 (25:01):
I don't think it was. I saw an advertisement for
I think it was like Patello's or something, and they
came out with their Popolio sandwich Portillo's partillos. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
they came out with their own popolio, did they?

Speaker 1 (25:11):
Yeah that's amazing. Wait, how does he like it? Does he?
Peppers on and lyft? Right?

Speaker 2 (25:17):
Yeah, it looked like it was like roast beef peppers
and some.

Speaker 5 (25:20):
No no, no, no no.

Speaker 1 (25:21):
But was it wet or not wet? Have you ever
eated a portillos?

Speaker 2 (25:24):
I have not.

Speaker 1 (25:24):
Oh oh got a remedy that.

Speaker 2 (25:30):
It looks like it was one of those oranges, like
like you dip. I think it's like a dipper.

Speaker 1 (25:34):
Okay, well but but no, you can. So one of
the ways you can order the sandwich, which I learned
and this became my ways. I want the sport peppers
for sure, or the whatever they call it peppers on,
but they will pre dip it for you, So they'll
take the whole sandwich once they've assembled it and take

(25:54):
a big thing of tongs, dip it into the beef thing,
then put it in there. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (25:58):
No, that's that's how I think I would like. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (26:00):
Yes, well, I'm telling you anyone, anyone, in the sound
of my voice, that's how you want it. And now
some person from Chicago will probably call and argue with me.
The great that one of my greatest coincidental moments that
made me the happiest of my life was when I
I was down in Tampa and I had driven down there.

(26:22):
It's when I went to the two Bowl games and
then I filled in for Schnid and I was broadcasting
down there, and I found out to have slushy machines
in the iHeart facility in Tampa. No slushy machines in
the Raleigh or Greensboro location. How do we not get
a slushy machine? And they had two, just saying so anyway,

(26:43):
so I'm down there and I'm just about to get
into essentially that the toll way into downtown Tampa because
the facilities were familiar with Tampa are off Gandy Boulevard,
so you basically have to you gotta go and you
run down like Bay Shore area there and then when
you pop out at the end of Gandy if you

(27:05):
don't want to be on the tollway, you were right
there on UH as you getting go ready to go
across the causeway there, and just as I'm entering the
Tampa space, what do I see a brand new Portillo's
opened right there on the edge of Tampa. Because that's
one thing Florida has a lot of It's got one

(27:25):
offs of change from other parts of the country. And
I found out they were opening a couple in Tampa.
It was like their first week open, So it was insane,
and I sat there for an hour and a half
waiting to go in through to get a Portillo sandwich
because it's been so long since I'd eaten one. Ah,
now I want one so bad. Man. I've never had

(27:47):
one that's stacked up. It's even and it's not the
best necessarily in Chicago, but it's the most consistent. They're everywhere,
and they're very very good. So all right, uh six
forty seven, we'll do that. Spen went on a Chicago
foods rant. Yeah. Again, I just would have liked to

(28:07):
see just a nod to the American side of it,
and not necessarily the American, but just the I don't know,
I don't know how to say it. Just speak a
little English up there. I wa way, if I was
a kid and the Pope was out there banging away
perfect English, I feel like I would have been more
interested instead of just you know how kids are when

(28:30):
you're just sitting there like, oh, I'm going to go
to church and it's very stodgy and and uh, your
kid you would to be playing outside man, and I
don't know, I feel like that would have been That
would have been a nice little connection moment. And I'm
sure there'll be plenty of time where you because he'll visit,
he'll do I'm sure they'll do a papal visit to
the US and he'll he'll address everyone in English and

(28:53):
it'll be there. But just something standing about standing on
that balcony doing that, which would have been very very interesting,
just from my perspective of younger me.

Speaker 2 (29:03):
I saw a video of him talking to his brother
on the phone, and he's like, how come you never
pick up the phone? Imagine like he comes back to
Thanksgiving dinner and he's like, your brother's the Pope?

Speaker 1 (29:10):
Do you have to call him Leo? Or can you
call him Robert? Still? What are the rules?

Speaker 2 (29:16):
And if the mother or somebody is still alive? But
I'm sure not because they're super old. How do you
live that down? Like your brother's the Pope? What have
you done? I feel bad for that guy already.

Speaker 1 (29:27):
Well, don't worry. They're trying to cancel him too, so
because they're like he sends some tweets out he's he's
a big like JD Vance fan and not a fan
of Nancy Pelosi and I can't stay on the radio
what he called her?

Speaker 2 (29:41):
Oh I did read about that.

Speaker 1 (29:43):
Yes, yeah. He implied that she may enjoy alcohol and
that he would like to see her again on Tuesday.
I believe not a fan, not this Tuesday, but next Tuesday. Okay, yeah, next.

Speaker 2 (30:01):
I was confused, so thank you?

Speaker 1 (30:02):
Yeah, yeah, I wanted to see her next Tuesday. But
as told in the first person, yeah, and then people like,
can you believe that's the Pope's Well, he's not the pope.
He's a dude living in Florida originally from Chicago with opinions.
Have you heard the words that they use? I'm not picking,

(30:23):
I'm just pointing. Like a New York or Chicago transplant
banging around Florida. They have a lot of opinions and
not a lot of filters. Man. But no, they're like, oh, yeah, yeah,
he said naughty words about Nancy Pelosi. Can you believe it? Yeah?
Here we go headline New York Post, new Pope Leo

(30:45):
the fourteen's brothers shear gross post calling Nancy Pelosi a
drunk the Tuesday thing a cash of Facebook. And he's
posted on Facebook. That's the other thing. This is so
seven year old dude in Florida, man originally from Chicago.

(31:06):
He's not He's not. He's not on the Twitter. He's
on the Facebook sharing memes and telling me how me
Meta is gonna lock my account or whatever that weird
spam thing is that always ends up Ross. Did you
know that Meta's gonna lock our account if we don't
do something? Yeah?

Speaker 2 (31:23):
What you want to do? Is there there's this thing.
You can't copy and paste this big passage saying that
they don't have the legal right to do that direct phone,
that's what you want to do? Yeah, just post that?

Speaker 1 (31:31):
Should I then send this to other shod so they
know what to me?

Speaker 2 (31:34):
I mean, if you care about him, you should all
the friends, yes, every single one?

Speaker 1 (31:38):
All right? I well, okay? And then he's posting videos
about liberals crying about tariffs. What I mean, well, you
think you're gonna go in and cancel. He's not even
in the clergy. You ever see that picture of the
Smoke show blonde twins and one of them is a

(31:59):
noun in the other ones dressed in like a mini skirt,
and they're clearly they're clearly twins. And then the captions
under it are amazing about you know when when they
yell God and it's just it's it's real. But it's
like one of them decided that this was their calling.

(32:21):
And that doesn't mean everyone else in the family has
to live at pope level rules. Man, this is a
wild can you what if it was? What if those
were the rules? And if your sibling becomes pope then
all of a sudden, Yeah, no, nobody would you would
talk your sibling out of it? So anyway, all right,

(32:45):
enough on that, how about we switch things up to Kracoon,
although we'll take calls if you want. And if you
don't know what Kracoon is, you're gonna find out next.
So eight eight eight nine three four seven eight seven
four hang on phone number eight eight eight nine three
four seven eight seven four. Uh what no, Sorry, I

(33:09):
just saw the most random thing ross if I if
you had to guess what the top three sodas are
in the world, which one? What do you think they are?
That is a random question, but you're gonna be honestly
surprised by this.

Speaker 2 (33:21):
I'm sorry. I was watching a clip from SML and
it was absolutely dying.

Speaker 1 (33:25):
Which one was it?

Speaker 2 (33:26):
It was the Guns one, Yeah, the I almost sent
it to him during a commercial break. Load that up
because it's really funny.

Speaker 1 (33:33):
And so basically they did a It's Walter Goggins was
the guy on there, who's yeah from Falling I like that, dude,
And uh, it's the Founding Fathers are putting together the
Bill of Rights, right is that one? Yeah? Yeah, it
is pretty good. And Goggins just plays like a nondescript
founding father.

Speaker 2 (33:52):
No, no, no, no, his name is Matt. I was gonnad.

Speaker 1 (33:56):
Yeah, but he's good points, he's just he's too cool
for school man. So so what was your question? I said,
I just I don't know why. I just saw this randomness.
What what do you think the top three soda brands
in the world are. I don't know, Pepsi, Coke either,
Coach number one. You're right there, I don't know Pepsi

(34:19):
is not one of the top three anymore. No, I
was shocked. I just assumed it goes Coke, Pepsi and
then whatever else or something.

Speaker 2 (34:27):
But I mean that's still a brand of Pepsi or
coke or whatever it is. Yeah, No, it's uh, it's
it's not FONTA.

Speaker 1 (34:34):
Number two is Dr Pepper. What's up with that? You
like Doctor Pepper?

Speaker 2 (34:42):
I'm not, honestly a fan.

Speaker 1 (34:43):
Don't like. Yeah, I could take it or leave it.
My mom really like diet was her jam My in
laws when they visit, we have to have doctor Pepper,
have to Okay, I didn't. I didn't realize that it
was such a fervent family. The thing about Doctor Pepper
is the way that they market it or over the
years like people drinking hot which is the thing.

Speaker 2 (35:03):
Yeah, no, is everything they did around Christmas time. That's
how they did it. It was like a hot drink he
would drink around Christmas. He would warm it.

Speaker 1 (35:09):
Up, and for some reason that made me not want
doctor Pepper Moore because like, what's worse than hot soda? Right?

Speaker 2 (35:16):
I can't remember if that was a trend. It was
like the sixties or seventies, I think.

Speaker 1 (35:20):
Yeah. Well, to be fair, coke they ran a unique
marketing thing in the twenties, so they sure to remember
that it will pep at your step. So so No.
Number three is sprite. Now I have Pepsi's fourth. I
had no idea it's going through world, you know, because

(35:40):
in my life it's been coke and Pepsi. Right, Remember
all of the commercials, the amount of money that would
get spent. Do you remember when Pepsi basically had Michael
Jackson come in and light himself on fire shooting shooting?
Was he shooting a commercial right for Pepsi?

Speaker 2 (35:59):
When that happened, Yeah, no, it scarred him for a
long time too. He had to end up wearing like
a wink because it's like his head was so burned.

Speaker 1 (36:04):
Yeah, and then Pepsi decided to flush it all away
with that. Do you remember the protest pepsi commercial, Oh, with.

Speaker 2 (36:14):
The dumb flower.

Speaker 1 (36:15):
Yeah, with the Kendall Jenner gives the other flowers, she
gives a cop of pepsi, right, and it's it's uh,
it's one of the it's during the summer of peaceful protest, like,
all right, all racial strife is fixed, everything is burning.
Pepsi is being an SNL. SNL did a great parody

(36:35):
of that. I'll give him credit where it's just the
guy who's the director. It's his first big shot at
a commercial. He's so excited he's there with Kendall Jenner
and uh, he's he's like he calls his he like
calls his mom and he's like, Mom, it's amazing. She
happens to be there with like her black friend or something,
and like it's just really funny. Like he's just breaking
down what he's hearing on the other side of that

(36:57):
phone where they're like, I'm sorry, your idea is what
They have a Kardashian hand the police of pepsi, and
then it's it's you know, all cops versus the general
public beef that was going on in twenty twenties. Fixed.
That's a horrible idea, son. So anyway, but yeah, I
remember that Pepsi commercial that was really bad. All right. Sorry,

(37:18):
I got distracted by that because just not you know,
so it's a fun fact. It's just not what I expected.
Come on, new Burn, do better. Gotta turn this thing around, man,
turn this thing around. All right. I did mention that
I was super excited that there was a story that
emerged early, very early in the week that we had off,

(37:42):
but I knew would be absolutely evergreen when we got back,
and it is this amazing, you know, simultaneously kind of
horrible story out of Ohio. No, not West Virginia, not Florida.
Ohio gets the crown on this one. And it started

(38:02):
as just a normal traffic stop with a couple of
women inside one of those cars. Repeat, there's just trash everywhere.
I don't know how, I don't know if people drive
around in cars like that, but but this one had
a little extra twist.

Speaker 2 (38:17):
Hi, how are we doing today?

Speaker 1 (38:18):
I'm off so random Springfield Township.

Speaker 6 (38:19):
Please sperm okay, sabbag sabajo.

Speaker 7 (38:23):
No, the reason I stopped you You are suspended with
a warrant for your.

Speaker 2 (38:30):
So do me a favor. Turn off the car, put
the keys up on the dash of.

Speaker 3 (38:34):
Paying you for that warrant.

Speaker 2 (38:35):
And because you are suspended actively.

Speaker 1 (38:37):
Oh hey, come here, hello, the raccoon has her mes pipe.

Speaker 2 (38:46):
That's right, her Mes pipe. He's playing with a meth
pipe right now. No, don't reach for it. That's evidence.
Now I don't want him to have Well, that's why
I'm gonna do it.

Speaker 1 (38:57):
Hey, buddy, it's okay.

Speaker 6 (39:01):
Okay, you're on be here in two minutes. And right
across in my office.

Speaker 2 (39:07):
Yeah, this isn't what she's smoking mething. Okay, the raccoons playing.

Speaker 1 (39:12):
With her pipe all right. By the way, some people
getting mad at the cop for laughing. He's like, they're
about to destroy this woman's future. And he's he's laughing
because there's a raccoon with the meth pipe. And I'm like, well,
one if I feel like she might have made a
series of decisions that has brought her to this point,

(39:33):
because she's you know, she's also driving around like she's
some sovereign citizen or whatever. She's suspended or whatever, and
she's got a zoo in there, and she's got more
than one crackpipe because he grabs the map the meth
pipe or whatever he calls it, and then all of
a sudden, the raccoon's got a spare because you know,

(39:53):
that's a crackcoon, that's not a raccoon, man, And that,
by the way, is an amazing movie. I idea that
somebody's probably gonna steal, so whatever, And yeah, he's laughing, dude,
you're telling me if you saw, because it's not like
the raccoon can can work a lighter, but no, they

(40:14):
are pretty crafty like with they can you know, their
ability to manipulate stuff. But I don't think they're flicking
a bit, man, So there is that. So that's more
of a residue thing right there. But I'm sorry, Ross
if at some point today, let's say you're running errands,
picking something up on the way home from work, and
you get out of your car in the parking lot
and all of a sudden you see them. You see

(40:35):
a raccoon with a meth pipe. Like you're gonna laugh
at that a little, right, even if it's an odd laugh,
like an uncomfortable laugh. You'd be like, why does the
raccoon have a meth pipe, but.

Speaker 2 (40:49):
At the same point, like, I don't want it to
be like a high crazy out of it's mine raccoon, right.

Speaker 1 (40:54):
Because I already eat your face. You know, they don't
need help, you know. Can you imagine how thoroughly he
can dig through your trash? Though, by the way, he's
got a name. His name is Chewy, but not like Chewbacca.
I don't know. I don't know what she was. Like
grindy would have been probably more appropriate. Wouldn't it a

(41:15):
little teeth grinding there? I don't know, man, But yeah,
so she's facing additional charges because she's got a cracked
up raccoon. Dude, all right, here's my movie idea. Instead
of just doing Cocaine Bear and Cracodile, which is a movie,
they're doing crack coon. But not your average you know,

(41:36):
animal horror flick, rather a gritty reboot of coutcoon, but
crack coon. And it's not aliens still in old people,
it's cracked out raccoons. What do you think I like it.
I've got a lot of good ideas in today's show.
So you guys are gona want to take notes, like
did you see President Trump also mentioned reopening Alcatraz. I

(42:03):
told you. I look, don't get me wrong, I want
to be off when I when it's time to, you know,
not be on, not be it worked as everybody else does.
You got to take a little time off. Yeah, do
whatever you gotta do. It had but you know sometimes
I'm just like, oh, that'd be amazing. But the reopened Alcatraz,

(42:23):
I think you gotta let them try to swim it too.
If people are on.

Speaker 2 (42:26):
There, man, are you familiar with the Alcatraz conspira moon
landing conspiracy theory?

Speaker 1 (42:33):
The I'm sorry, the Alcatraz So we landed on the moon.
There's an Alcatraz up there.

Speaker 2 (42:39):
No, so there there's a side by side comparison where
it's like the three dudes that famously escaped.

Speaker 1 (42:44):
For wow, a lot I don't know a lot of people.

Speaker 2 (42:47):
A lot of people say they didn't make it, like
you know, they probably like you know, died on the
attempt or whatever, right, but there's evidence that some of
them did survive, and they're saying that there's a side
by side picture of the three people that escaped with
the three guys that you know, like Armstrong Collins And
obviously it wasn't what's his name? It wasn't buzz Aldron.

(43:09):
Maybe no, maybe.

Speaker 1 (43:10):
Hold on this, actually you got to take it back,
take it back.

Speaker 2 (43:13):
It was all three of them. It was buzz Aldron too.
And there's a side by the three guys.

Speaker 1 (43:17):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (43:17):
Well I couldn't remember if the three escape were the
three that went to the moon. But yeah, the conspiracy
theories that puts their side and their faces side by side,
and they look alike, and people are saying, those are
the same dudes.

Speaker 1 (43:28):
Well there's one also, remember how old dudes used to
look alike because we were not ember. One was morbidly open.

Speaker 2 (43:33):
I mean they go into detail like with like facial
structure and they overlay the faces and the jawline and
the nose, and these are the same dudes. So the
theory was.

Speaker 1 (43:41):
Like, you just wouldn't be close.

Speaker 2 (43:43):
Okay, but think about if you could escape Alcatraz, you
could probably go to the moon. You could survive the moon.

Speaker 1 (43:48):
Okay. So I wanted to understand the order of operation here.
So they were astronauts who were mistakenly put in Alcatraz,
or they were prisoners who they went, hey, you'd make
good astronauts. Uh huh, No, No, no, which one is it?

Speaker 2 (44:01):
Uh huh?

Speaker 1 (44:03):
And this brings up a good point. Why don't we
have a space Alcatraz? And that's what Trump needs to do.

Speaker 2 (44:08):
It's so funny because you see these cryptic posts like this,
these conspiracy posts on social media, and there's so some
stupid headline like are you You're not ready for the truth?

Speaker 1 (44:17):
You know?

Speaker 2 (44:17):
Then it shows the pictures and you go down the
comments and you're like, there's no way people are buying this.
And there's people in the comments that are like, I've
been saying this for years.

Speaker 1 (44:24):
I watched a lady. I watched those series of videos
of a lady who's convinced that planes aren't real that
essentially and not planes filled with people. It's just an a.
It's like a it's like an AI. What am I
thinking of? It's like a virtual reality experience in the planes.

(44:45):
You're not really you're not really flying. And she's in
on it. Dude, you've never actually flown Ross? Did you?
Did you think you flew when he went back to
New York?

Speaker 8 (44:54):
I did.

Speaker 1 (44:55):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (44:55):
So they're saying that when you go on a plane,
you're not actually flying.

Speaker 1 (44:58):
No. Strangely, it doesn't explain how you get from point
A to point B. In her series of videos though
are they driving you? Where are they driving you? So yeah,
that is the one. That is the one thing about
having a vacation. Man, I got a little downtime. It's
sucked into some of those conspiracy videos. There was a

(45:21):
couple of days I wanted to golf and just poured
rain man, So like, all right, yues, we're just gonna
hang out inside. Oh did I oh, dude, the crazy
I did text you about this? Do the funniest thing happened.
So as part of my vacation travels, I had a
one day I just had to spend a day and

(45:43):
one night in Panama City, Panama on an airport connection.
So I check in to the I have Marriot put
by the way, if you guys got Marriott points, you
can stay at a JW Marriott or a W which
are kind of like their top tier other than ritz
top tier brand for like twenty five thousand points, which

(46:04):
you can't get. You can't get a courtyard for twenty
well you might be able to get a courtyard for
twenty five thousand points. So for whatever reason, when you're
in like not in America, those merry up points go
a long ways. So there's that. So I go, I
get a room with the w rd's downtown. There's a
restaurant called Bairute that's really really good there and uh

(46:27):
and then they have like a rooftop bar thing at
this place too. It's just really nice. Panama City is
a crazy city, man, just like one earthquake could just
murder five million people because everyone lives in like sixty
four high rises except for the ones that are empty
and just tax shelters and like, So I go there
and I have and I guys like, hey, you have

(46:49):
I have gold status with Mary. I'm not bragging, but
a lot of times they'll actually give you upgrades on that.
So they give me this upgrade. This's amazing room with
this crazy shower that is the wall of the shower
is the glass facade of the of the Tower hotel,
so like, and there's not even a proper cover for it.
So that's weird. But they have like they're like a

(47:11):
rooftop pool bar restaurant thing. So I check in and
I'm looking down on this thing and I'm like, wow,
look at those people. I'm gonna go down there. And
so I go down to get something to because I
was starving, and I'm sitting in the restaurant part, which
kind of under an overhang. And then there's people over
in the pool, and then they had over at the
bar area, and uh, they are absolute lunatic German football fans, screaming,

(47:36):
screaming at a series of TVs, and and so I'm
talking to one of the dudes, and uh, he was
He asked me something online. He says, I'm like, oh, yeah, Boondesliga.
They're watching Bundesliga soccer. And I told the dude, I'm like,
oh yeah, yeah. Me and a buddy of work we
talk about this all the time. He was so impressed.

(47:59):
He was like, yeah, most Americans don't know the Bundesliga.
And I'm like, noah, we've big fans. But then he
started winning in to get into details, and I had
to pretend like, oh, I have to hold on. I
got to answer this email because if he starts then
asking anything about it, the whole facade's going to fall apart.
But yeah, so there we go. That little random Bundesliga

(48:20):
knowledge really panned out.

Speaker 2 (48:21):
Man, Yeah, my team needs a new flankerback. How about yours.

Speaker 1 (48:24):
Oh dude, we're all set on flankerback, so maybe we'll wheeling,
do you one. Yeah. So that's the literally the only
time in my life that have understanding at least what
Bundesliga is paid dividends. This is my knowledge is power people,
even if I don't have any knowledge other than the
funny name. But yeah, they're going berserk for the Bundesliga.

(48:46):
I just ate my uh little little sandwiches are very good,
and then made my way the heck out of there
before they started asking questions. All right, so we got
the pope stuff, we got the meth raccoon, and we
got to talk about everybody's favorite senator and a guy
that I might have warned you about, Tom Tillis, because

(49:07):
this dude, this dude man that ego. You gotta understand.
If there's somebody who wants to be literally like throw
them in never get out prisons over J six, that
is Tom Tillis's mentality. Man. He took that personally and
you saw it weaponized. We get into that story coming
up next. Hang on. So the JW Marry out there.

(49:28):
When you pull up to it, it looks really familiar
because that's where they got the big casino and all
that stuff. It looks really familiar, and I put my
finger on it. It was the Trump Hotel. Remember the
video of like a bunch of irritated Panamanians like ripping
Trump International off the frontage facade of a hotel. That

(49:48):
was the one. So now it's a JW. Marriott. So
I thought that was rather interesting. But what was really
cool it was the first time, I think ever that
I was seated on the correct side of the plane
and there was no clouds. And the approach into Panama City,
for those of you who've never flown down there, is you're
you're in the you're you're over the water in the Caribbean.

(50:11):
The plane takes a hard right turn and he kind
of flies, depending on where they traffic, you near or
at least kind of alongside the Panama Canal, but you
can't really see it because that lake has a lot
of clouds and and uh. But it was perfectly clear
and they had us so low, and then you were
across Panama on a moment, and then they do a

(50:31):
hard turn out over the Pacific, big left turn, and
then you land at the Tokamon Tokema. I can never
pronounce that airport's name. And but this right ross it
was low and slow, and so you could see like
the people working, like the locks and stuff from the air,
and I had never got to see it from that angle.

(50:53):
And then I noticed something. The entire thing, one giant
dragon parayed like in a nineties action movie. So the
Chinese really are running things down there. Man, No, I
was pretty crazy. Just seeing all those ships stowed out
there and being able to see it from that was
very very cool. Sorry, just I nerd out on things
like that. But all right, A few other things you

(51:16):
know I've first mentioned on this show once or twice
maybe that not big fans of Tom tillis Senator slender Man,
mostly because I think he's an egotistical piece of garbage
that has been proven to me during our several interactions
over the years. And he was able to take down

(51:37):
the what was going to be the next probably the
next DC Attorney and the US Attorney for for Washington,
d C. Is I would argue, the most powerful. Some
people would say the Southern District of New York, but
I mean no, not when you're dealing with public you know,

(51:58):
public corruption or the potential thereof being the guy in
charge of the district is the same as the circuit
court that is the DC district because they tend to
adjudicate the government stuff. That's why it's so powerful. And
Tom Tillis was not having this, dude, And there's a
lot of speculation as to the reason some are accusatory

(52:22):
saying Tom was doing some real estate stuff. I don't know,
but I have seen that wrote about, so if you're interested,
maybe you should read up on it to you know,
Tom Tillis took J six very personally, and so anyone
who would have any sympathy even for people who did
not lay a hand on anybody, apparently doesn't sit right

(52:44):
with Tom Tillis. That's the impression I've got watching him
talk about this stuff. So the idea that they would
potentially get somebody in there who, you know, maybe has
pointed out that it was it's pretty goolaggy the way
that some of these folks is Jay six people have

(53:05):
been treated. I'm telling you, every time I read a
treat a court transcript from it where they're like they're
they're essentially making people do struggle sessions just so they
don't get twenty years for crossing the threshold, like it's
really dark stuff. And for whatever reason, Tom tillis not

(53:29):
a fan because this guy might have had a little
sympathy Martin here, who by the way, had his name
withdrawn because they it wasn't gonna get passed. Because Tom
Tillis is having a temper tantrum. And I would point
I want to point this out to Republican Party people
here this You gotta deal with this. If you think
you're just gonna he's just gonna come in, and you

(53:49):
want him to come in because you think it's the
path of least resistance to keep that seat, good luck
with that. Roy Cooper's probably going to be the next
center or maybe not Roy Cooper because not feasibly, not
after he dropped the ball on the hurricane stuff, he
shouldn't be. But who the hell knows. If Tom Tillis

(54:10):
is the one and you fight behind the scenes not
to have him primary, has he not proven to you
he doesn't care. He's in this for himself and he's
not serving the interest of the people that you would
want to pay dues to you. So you got to
deal with this. And I don't want to hear because
this is inevitably what happens. Somebody from one of the
county parties or whatever will be like, you can't talk

(54:31):
like that on the radio. If if he you know,
you're gonna make it so if if he gets through,
then he's gonna lose the election, and then a Democrat's
gonna be in charge. And I'm literally at the point
where how could it be worse? How could it be
worse than having that guy there? And did you see
what Trump did? He's like fire, all right, Martin's not
in you know't want him? Fine, we're gonna we're gonna

(54:52):
make Judge Janine Piro, the acting US Attorney from Washington, DC, Judge,
you had your pick of TV judges and you went
with Judge Janine. I'm sure some of you like her.
I don't necessarily like or dislike her. I find her
hard to watch sometimes, but that's just me. But like,

(55:14):
what was Judge Judy doing something? Remember how we used
to joke, Hey, Judge, you don't make a good Supreme
Court justice. Judge Judy, you may Judge Judy, what are
we doing? Hot Ross? If you could watch a Stogio
court hearing? And I know she's the us, it would
be the US attorney here. But you know, Judge, Judge Judy.

(55:36):
But in this prosecutorial role, you get to tune in
and you're gonna look at those clips, right.

Speaker 2 (55:42):
You know, she doesn't mess around, she's tough.

Speaker 1 (55:44):
She's got away with words as soon as she busts
the don't tell me it's raining line out in the
middle of you know, Eco Moonbats v. The EPA or whatever,
you know, whatever the latest lossuit is.

Speaker 2 (55:55):
Oh hell yeah. I had her number once upon a time,
and I used to do a bit where I would
call her up and read her poetry like love notes.

Speaker 1 (56:02):
What.

Speaker 2 (56:02):
Yeah, I got her number when I was back at
It was like an ongoing bit I did where how
that with Judge Judy?

Speaker 1 (56:09):
How that?

Speaker 2 (56:10):
Never heard back?

Speaker 1 (56:11):
Oh no, okay? Ohays you just leave her voice message. Yeah,
oh I thought she was answering, all right, you call okay?

Speaker 2 (56:19):
All right.

Speaker 1 (56:20):
Maybe she appreciated it secretly that was just for her,
or maybe she changed her number, yeah I'm sure or something. Yeah. Yeah,
that's one of those things where some weirdo I don't
know is calling up reading me poetry. I just assume
they're gonna be in the parking lot waiting to kill
me at some point. So uh yeah, so they went,

(56:40):
uh went with Janine Piro, And uh, my question is
is what's gonna happen if somebody and if people ask
me who that person should be, I don't know who
that person should be. They want you want me to
pick you want me to pick who the Republican Senate nomination. No,
I'm not getting into that. I will evaluate who wants

(57:01):
to step forward, but I'm not I'm not out here
on a selection committee. But I think that trying to
find somebody who would be a more useful vote in
that position, it should not be difficult. Like to get
the raccoon with the meth pipe, You got to move
him here so he can get you know, residency first.

(57:22):
But yeah, give me, give me the kraccoon and people
like well, who would be more trustworthy anybody? The snake
from the Garden of Eden, because I understand his motivations,
like more predictable Tom Tillis. I guess I do understand
his motivation. Tom Tillis is there for him, and he

(57:44):
is he is an absolute cancer and and and the
big lift is going to be if somebody comes to
try to primary him and the party does the thing
where they're like, we're not going to take side, but
behind the scenes they're really taking sides and letting them know. Hey, man, man,
you you better not you better not run, you better
not do this. You're gonna be persona no grada. If

(58:05):
you start pulling that crap because you're protecting this guy,
then people shouldn't give you a single penny, not the one,
because you're just gonna give it and then use it
to promote this guy who's who, who has decided that
he's just gonna do his own thing and screw his constituents,
who I've been warning you about for years. So no

(58:26):
sympathy from me. Absolutely tortu him uh. Do you see
country singer John Rich from Big and Rich he he
He did a song dom dom.

Speaker 4 (58:38):
Dom you were when you win, so North Carolina out.

Speaker 3 (58:46):
And dom dom Dom You're gonna be gone, gone gone.

Speaker 1 (58:50):
When that twenty six election rolls around a lot more polay.

Speaker 9 (58:57):
Tom go get him judge your name.

Speaker 1 (59:00):
Yeah, so there you go. Yeah, that really is John
and Rich. I always working on a parody song for
Tom uh, and I just got I got a little
writer's block.

Speaker 2 (59:12):
Ross Uh.

Speaker 1 (59:13):
You know the song by the artist Cisco.

Speaker 2 (59:16):
Yes, yeah, yep, yep, sure, that's what I was thinking
when I put in the title that audio.

Speaker 1 (59:20):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I got I couldn because the only
part that I really got wrote was Tom to Tom
Tom Tom.

Speaker 2 (59:27):
I appreciate that he's calling him Thom though, because we've
also been doing that for years, because that's not how
you spelled Tom. That's thomb Your name is Thom Tom
kill us.

Speaker 1 (59:37):
Ross has got beef, but for a different reason. So
that's that's what we do here. You know, I'll say
on beef, anyone who's gotta like go anywhere near a
creek today, because yeah, raced Age it couldn't even be
here to give the bad news himself. That what a
what an absolute coward? What an absolute coward? All right,
Jeff Barr, what's going on today, sir?

Speaker 4 (59:59):
Yeah, let's just skip right to Friday, when it's going
to be drying in the low nineties.

Speaker 1 (01:00:02):
With that, I don't know, there's something about four inches
of rain or something.

Speaker 4 (01:00:07):
Yeah, Yeah, Unfortunately we got to get past the start
of this week and that means a lot of rainfalls
and gusty winds, and as you mentioned, we could pick
up one to two inches of rainfall, some spots as
much as three to four inches, and that's why a
flash flood watch is in effect into tomorrow morning. So
it's going to be out and about today. Be prepared
for showers and thunderstorms up to seventy three with some
gusty winds out of the southeast. Now the round of

(01:00:28):
heavy rain moves through tonight. We drop into the mid sixties,
and we'll keep these showers and thunderstorms in the forecast
both tomorrow and on Wednesday, with highs in the mid
to upper seventies. And then we'll start to dry out
and warm up with some mid eighties on Thursday afternoon
and low nineties by Friday.

Speaker 1 (01:00:41):
Okay, all right, well we'll hold you to it. We'll
talk in an hour. Thank you very much, And when
we come back here on the Cacoday Radio program, I
will I'm not going to sing any more Cisco parody songs.
Did you see what happened at the Ice detention facility
up there in the New Jersey had a couple of incidents,

(01:01:02):
And again this goes to the Trump administration. This is
purely in your this is you, This is something that
happened on federal property and involve federal agents, and your
lack of doing anything is making me angry. I'll explain
coming up next. Oh, speaking of conspiracy theories, I guess
we're already down that road, so let's jump in. So

(01:01:30):
you got these just absolutely out of controlled Democrats. You
have with three House members, one of them is Bonnie
Watson Coleman, who's a congresswoman from New Jersey. You got
the Newark mayor ros Baraka uh and others who decided
that they were going to show up in an area
called Delaney Hall, which is a detention center in Newark,

(01:01:52):
and they're trying to build a bigger one. And this
the mayor there has made it his goal to I
guess this is the hill he wants to die on,
rather than making the airport more accessible and not suck
as much, which would be helpful if you ever have
to fly through Newark. So anyway, they decided they're going
to show up this facility, and unlike when AOC showed

(01:02:14):
up and literally the gate was open and she had
to kind of go over the side to pretend that
it wasn't open, they were met by a bunch of
ice officers. Now they did get a little ways into
the facility, and that's important because now they're on federal
property and the officers who work there are federal officers,

(01:02:35):
and these are federal lawmakers, with the exception of the
Newark mayor. And what happens is and I've watched the video,
there's multiple angles, there's bodycam, and then there's other people
that were just filming these reps La Monica McIver. Primarily,

(01:02:56):
they start getting physical with the officers. I'm not exaggerating.
I mean she's physically she's physically assaulting one of these officers. Now,
now it's not a very strong assault because she's a
frail woman, but you know, still they're doing something that

(01:03:17):
anybody anywhere on federal property assaulting a federal officer would
be in handcuffs. And they don't arrest this woman. Now,
they did cite Baraka because you refuse to leave. Then
he claimed that he was never told to leave. And
they're all lying, right, every statement I've seen from Baraka
and the rest of them, I didn't assault anyone. I

(01:03:37):
kid you not. I'm gonna I'm gonna play her explanation.
She's turned into a conspiracy theory. They need the person
who assaulted an officer. You don't to charge it with the
big one. But she has to go, she has to
go get arrested. And I'm sick of this. I'm just done.
If members, if no one's above the law, and this
is it, and you're on video assaulting a federal agent

(01:03:59):
on federal property, New Jersey doesn't have anything to say
about it. This is a one FEDS thing. Where the
hell is Patel and Bongino and the d and Bondie
getting this woman arrested and charged. I'm sick of this.
When that jackass pull the fire alarm there and he
ended up with a municipal code violation and losing his seat. No,

(01:04:24):
we're not doing this. She assaulted a federal officer on video,
is how I interpret this. And she needs to be
held accountable because none of us can do it, and
instead she's just this is her excuse.

Speaker 5 (01:04:35):
Your use of words is very different from the spokesperson
for DHS who was on CNN. She used the words
body slamming, saying that the mayor and other members of
Congress were body slamming and we're.

Speaker 1 (01:04:52):
Being by the way, she's intentionally using this word to
make it sound like what they're claiming is a wrestling move,
and what they're tal talking about is a tactical move
that people use to try to move police, which is
physically assaulting them. But they'll have their arms kind of
out like they're walking somewhere and they're getting in there.
They clearly knew they were not gaining access to this.

(01:05:14):
And it is physical assault. Like I said, it's not
punch you in the face or hit you with a bat,
but it's physical assault. And none of us could get
away with it. And yet they're going to and there's
no reason because Republicans have all the cards, and you
need to point out that this is not acceptable.

Speaker 5 (01:05:31):
Rough with the ICE officials, you're disputing that.

Speaker 6 (01:05:35):
Yeah, so how ridiculous is that sound?

Speaker 10 (01:05:37):
They're two hundred pounds, They've got about thirty five pounds
worth of stuff around them, including a gun on their arms.
I can tell you what I think about what they're saying.
The President of the United States opens his mouth every
day and lies. He can't breathe without lying. He's given
permission to his cabinet and those who work for him
to lie.

Speaker 6 (01:05:56):
And she's lying too. What And so I was there,
I saw it.

Speaker 1 (01:06:02):
I was a part of it.

Speaker 6 (01:06:03):
I was in the middle of it.

Speaker 10 (01:06:05):
We did not, in any way, shape or form disrespect
the physicality of any of those ice agents.

Speaker 6 (01:06:12):
And to say so, it's just to perpetuate.

Speaker 10 (01:06:15):
The kind of lying that we are experiencing in this
country at the let's.

Speaker 1 (01:06:20):
Let's look again with a jury show.

Speaker 5 (01:06:21):
It doesn't appear to show the mayor being violent or
members of Congress being violent with anyone. Did you see
anything that would maxif description?

Speaker 10 (01:06:33):
No, And as you can see, I was literally literally
in the middle of it.

Speaker 8 (01:06:37):
No.

Speaker 6 (01:06:37):
If it's any such body and any kind of footage,
it is footage that is manufactured for this purpose. Because
I said it before and I'll say it again, they
are lying.

Speaker 1 (01:06:53):
I don't know if you're still doing like a primarily
protein diet, but that's you're a fan, right of the protein.
But did you know it's undeniably gendered? Is the headline
for Vanity Fair. Why are Americans so obsessed with protein?
Blame Maga? What from Livercane the podcast Bros to RFK

(01:07:15):
Junior's Maha constituents. America's infatuation with protein has reached a
fever pitch, and it's undeniably gendered. I'm confers. Are women
not allowed to have protein? Is that a patriarchal position
I'm unaware of? And does that mean consume it? Can
they still handle it in cold cut fashioned while placing

(01:07:37):
it on a sandwich with other deliciousness? I mean, if
you're accusing me of being a you know, a pig
about this, I'm assuming that's what you think. I think,
how is it do women not eat protein? And the
answer is they do? So how it's gendered? Though I'm

(01:08:01):
not sure now women? Do women eat different types of
protein because men and women are different? Yes, but it
doesn't it's it doesn't mean that they don't want to
kill a sixteen ounce ribbi. But you know, chances are
you're gonna have dudes probably eating more steak. And if
you're the exception of the rule, you don't have to
call to tell I understand. But like this, like the

(01:08:23):
premise for these stories that they're running out of, you know,
ABC News with their big scoop that oh, Dubai is
going to give Trump a plane and then he's going
to keep the plane for his presidential library after and
it's gonna be air Force one and it's a bribe,
and it's all like that whole story that was blowing
up yesterday had me so confused because just a few

(01:08:45):
days before, I read a story about how Boeing is
so not doing the job that they were paid to do.
And I'm sure some of it has to do with
government change orders and bureaucracy, so I'm not going to
put it all on Boeing, but they were This was
the year they're supposed to deliver the first of the
two new Air Force ones. This was it and now

(01:09:08):
Trump may be lucky in his time as president if
they're ever delivered. And so what do you do? So
ABC News runs an article saying that the Trumps tend
to take a big gift from the you know, the
guys in Dubai or whatever, and they just run with that.
Everyone freaks out and nobody fact checks it, and nobody
stops for a moment to go, wait a secon, didn't

(01:09:28):
I just see a story a week ago where a
plane that used to you know, was was a plane
owned by the you know, the the government of Dubai, whoever,
you know, whoever. The top dark family is there. Known
as a flying Palace is a highly customized plane that
is basically the same type of plane that the Air

(01:09:52):
Force one is going to be. That it was not
utilized by Dubai anymore and is literally sitting there and
you if for sale, and so they were talking about
acquiring that plane. It doesn't say that they're giving it
to them. They're talking about acquiring that plane, which they
would have to retrofit. But a lot of the stuff. Now,

(01:10:15):
I don't know if I like the idea, but it's
not like a bud You know, a bunch of guys
in the Middle East knew that this plane was going
to be the plane of the president, so they were
able to install a bunch of stuff. But still it
would make me nervous as a security guy. But this
is one of the options they're looking at. And they

(01:10:37):
went on this tangent on ABC yesterday Jonathan Carl with
an exclusive scoop from anonymous sources saying, this is what's happening,
and it is a wild misconstruing of the situation there.
You know, how many planes of that size are built
out in a format that could be somewhat retrofitted to

(01:10:59):
haul the president of the United States. There's probably five
in the world and one of them which used to
be owned and all the bells and whistles is there
because that's how they roll in Dubai. And I think
it's sitting in Florida. I think the damn thing is
sitting in Florida right with with a broker. This is it.

(01:11:22):
This is the stupidity of it. Remember when they did
this with where they said, what was the story? But
was it? Trump used one of Epstein's planes to go
somewhere and and they're all free to like, see there's
the proof this was. This was not that long ago.
It was during the election. And what it actually was
and maybe I'm getting a little of it wrong, it
was Trump or somebody in his orbit and it was

(01:11:45):
a plane because Epstein had multiple planes that were seized
and sold and is owned by a company that then
leases planes, and they used it and they leased it
as part of their travel needs during the election. Oh
like they borrowed it from Epstein, who's not even alive
at that point. It's it's just stupid. So if you

(01:12:06):
see that story today, understand what you're getting. This is
not what the founding fathers would have envisioned. And we
know this because over the weekend, SNL decided to do
a skit that is one hundred percent a manifestation of
the meme you've seen online if you've spent a moment
on social media where it's it's like the little cartooning

(01:12:28):
almost like a political cartoon. Bounty father's sitting around and
then the word bubbles, and then some guy's like, and gut,
let's let's give them all guns. And then another family
father's like, you know, this country's gonna be lit right,
you've seen that. So SNL decided, hey, what if we
do that in a skit? And I got to tell
you it worked pretty good. Walton Goggins was on or

(01:12:51):
Walter I. I can't remember which one it is. He's nactually
recognized of Righteous Gemstones. He likes cocaine a lot. His
character does a bunch of other of fat Man the
Mel Gibson Santa movie, which you should watch if you
haven't seen it, he's the baddie and in this case
he's one of the founding fathers named Matt, and they're

(01:13:11):
sitting around. They've just completed the first Amendment and now
they're on to the second Amendment and what should it be?
And that's where we pick up. Now, what shall we
discuss next?

Speaker 8 (01:13:21):
What is the second most important principle of our nation?

Speaker 2 (01:13:25):
Gunh excuse me, Gune. I don't hate that.

Speaker 1 (01:13:38):
I do. It's ridiculous.

Speaker 2 (01:13:41):
What is your name that, Matt? What don't you worry
about it?

Speaker 8 (01:13:50):
Well, Matt, what will postersis say of us? If the
second right we enshrine in this document to simply guns, that.

Speaker 2 (01:13:58):
We don't play.

Speaker 1 (01:14:01):
Damn, that's actually kind of sick. Yes, no, no, no,
the idea is ludicrous.

Speaker 7 (01:14:07):
Wait now, hold on, I mean we did just make
a law that said anyone can say whatever crazy stuff
they want, right, maybe this gun thing would kind of balance.

Speaker 8 (01:14:19):
That out, Lingo, Okay, yes, But by the same token,
wouldn't having a gun emboldened people to say crazy stuff
as well?

Speaker 1 (01:14:29):
Bro?

Speaker 2 (01:14:30):
Wha yeah yeah? What make that makes sense?

Speaker 8 (01:14:35):
Gentlemen, we cannot just have an amendment that says guns,
but what about guns?

Speaker 6 (01:14:41):
Having them?

Speaker 1 (01:14:43):
Mother?

Speaker 2 (01:14:44):
Smart? Like? Who is this guy? Why is it he
running this? Matt?

Speaker 10 (01:14:48):
I am open to discussing guns for a later.

Speaker 8 (01:14:50):
Amendment, but I must insist we move on to a
more pressing concern.

Speaker 2 (01:14:55):
You're streaming, sir, Where are you from?

Speaker 1 (01:15:00):
Exactly?

Speaker 2 (01:15:03):
America.

Speaker 1 (01:15:08):
Yes, but where in America?

Speaker 2 (01:15:10):
Which state?

Speaker 6 (01:15:12):
Are you noted?

Speaker 7 (01:15:13):
One?

Speaker 1 (01:15:15):
And it from a meme going to that with SNL's
finger on it. It came out pretty good, man.

Speaker 2 (01:15:21):
I am I'm shocked that they actually produce that, aren't you.

Speaker 1 (01:15:24):
Yeah, and didn't take a bunch of shots like Matt's. First.
You think they're going to turn Mat into some like
where they're trying to mock hillbilly kind of thing. But no,
he's kind of the cool kid in the room there.
He's just like guns.

Speaker 2 (01:15:39):
What about him having Yeah, say what you will about Matt.
He brings up some valid points, bring.

Speaker 1 (01:15:43):
Up some valid points. What is that going to tell
the rest of the world not to mess with us
or what? However, he said it the good point man.
So yeah, and it's visually it's good because he's got,
like I just crazy, like cool shades on of the period,
like the Franklin Markland things from National Treasure and he's

(01:16:04):
kind of leaned over. He's very chill and uh yeah,
just John Adams, I'm assuming is that who's losing his mind?
He was also always a stick in the mud. Yeah,
very good skitch. So we'll tweak that out for you.
All right, eight sixteen here on the case O Day
radio program, speaking of tweets and guns, Ross, did you
see what Yildagrass Tyson tweeted right around all the pope

(01:16:26):
stuff was going on. Did you know?

Speaker 2 (01:16:28):
I can imagine?

Speaker 1 (01:16:30):
Oh no, because one doesn't anything to do with the pope.
This is what he tweets. He says, been thinking a
lot lately about the morals of Jesus of Nazareth. Oh great, well,
you don't like a tweet out?

Speaker 4 (01:16:41):
I don't.

Speaker 2 (01:16:42):
I don't like these like atheists when you're and that listen.
I used to be an atheist. And the one of
the most like annoying thing in the things in the
planet is when somebody who doesn't believe in the thing
they're telling you about tells you what the person that
they don't know about would do.

Speaker 1 (01:16:55):
Well, no, he doesn't know what he would do. So
he's going to ask He's going to ask a question
saying he's wondering. So he's asking Christians to tell him
what he thinks Jesus would think about this. Isn't that helpful?

Speaker 2 (01:17:06):
Right?

Speaker 1 (01:17:07):
Wouldn't you? Don't you if somebody asked you about something
biblical and you are a person of faith and they
are trying to.

Speaker 2 (01:17:15):
Figure it out. Yeah, but he's just trying. He's like
poking you with a stick.

Speaker 1 (01:17:19):
Well, how about you with whole judgment. Wouldn't that be
the Christian thing to do, wouldn't it? Let me? Can
I ask you his question? And maybe you can?

Speaker 2 (01:17:28):
I in Oh, I thought sure he did.

Speaker 1 (01:17:30):
Sure, go ahead? No, no, no, no. Been thinking a lot
about the morals of Jesus of Nazareth, wondering what would
his rifle of choice be if he moved to America
at Ar fifteen or an Ak forty seven. Now you're
reading the Bible? Have you got to that part yet?
Do we know?

Speaker 2 (01:17:49):
I don't know. I mean like I don't know.

Speaker 1 (01:17:51):
I haven't.

Speaker 2 (01:17:51):
I am in judges at the moment, and that he
is going to crap in the promised land. Oh no,
it's not going No, it's not going well.

Speaker 1 (01:18:01):
But it's the land that was promised. What's going on? Man?
And I don't know what the hell is Tyson good? Now,
first of all, if Jesus is now an American for this,
because the pope being American is but I'm assuming prompted this,
which I don't even understand. What's going on here? He
not going coalitionhna cough, right, you're not going there. He's

(01:18:23):
not gonna have the Rusky gun, the Afghani gun. He's
going America. He's going AR fifteen.

Speaker 2 (01:18:28):
Man, I think you just have like revelation Jesus. And
once again, haven't gotten there. But I've read, you know,
I've heard things, and yeah, he lots a gun, open
the earth and have him swallow up your enemies.

Speaker 1 (01:18:38):
Yeah, he doesn't need Is that an attachment for the AR?
An enemy swallower? And I know you can get a
chainsaw bayonet? Do they make enemy swallowers? Now? I want
to get the AR attachment where he uh an entire
city uh is cast into fire and anyone who looks
at it has turned to salt. But I haven't been
I haven't figured out where you.

Speaker 2 (01:18:59):
Oh you're going to get a lot of attachment.

Speaker 1 (01:19:01):
Yeah yeah, yeah, well Lot's wife really yeah, but yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:19:06):
No, he's doing this.

Speaker 1 (01:19:07):
Once after that, he's like, you know what, she never listened,
he said, bright, I told you never listens anyway. I'm sorry,
what what are you saying about the AAR attachment?

Speaker 7 (01:19:18):
Uh?

Speaker 2 (01:19:18):
I no, I don't know.

Speaker 1 (01:19:19):
Oh okay, yeah, well, if there's one thing Jesus says
never really needed or God never really it was God?

Speaker 2 (01:19:26):
Oh yeah, no, no no. So he's doing the typical
thing that I was saying. He's being like slarmy and
nasty and he's trying to like, you know, yeah, that's
what he's doing. But it's so annoying when you have
somebody who is like a devout atheist and says nothing exists,
and then they try to like use your faith against
you and they don't know what they're talking about, like
they just don't.

Speaker 1 (01:19:42):
Yeah. So again he started with the first sentence and
I'm like, maybe there's and then I see there's not.
And then he posted a picture of not my preferred
AI set up, but and then an old school AK
so but to answer your question, doesn't need them. But
I think he choose the one. It's more American if

(01:20:05):
you're doing it from a position that he's, you know,
a patriotic American, which is I think the premise of
your question. I don't know. I don't know if he
if he knew that. Although I was gonna say you're
speaking of conspiracy theory, I was going to say, you know,
Jesus never really walked in the US. But have you
seen have you ever watched some of the things where
they say that he then came to the New World.

(01:20:29):
Have you ever ever seen any.

Speaker 2 (01:20:30):
I have seen some of this, and they are there
are conspiracies or theories. And then once again like our
moon landing Alcatraz one from Last Hour, these ones are
like way out there and they actually say that the
Biblical They overlay a map of the Western United States
with what they say is in the Bible, and they
say it matches up. So what they're trying to say

(01:20:51):
is like all of the battles in Canaan or whatever
of the Bible are actually actually took place in southwest
United States, which is uh, it's out there.

Speaker 1 (01:21:01):
It's wild stuff.

Speaker 2 (01:21:02):
And once again it's the same caption above all these videos,
like you're not ready for this conspiracy, you're not ready
for the truth. Yeah, I don't know.

Speaker 1 (01:21:09):
I watched an hour long thing over our vacation of
how there's a praying mantis human subspecies that lives inside
the earth.

Speaker 2 (01:21:17):
So yeah, they try to say, like you know, they
overlap like the Western United States with like the Jordan,
and they're like, that's not the Jordan and you know
in like you know in the Middle East, that's the
United States.

Speaker 1 (01:21:31):
Jordan, Utah, right, you've heard of it, right, yeah, yeah,
I've lived close to it. Yeah yeah, that's a real place,
so look it up. So yeah, that's you want to
go down a real rabbit hole with that stuff. But
now that's just grass Tyson being uh smarmy is a
very good word there. By the way, speaking of the
Middle East, Disney is announced they're opening another Disney and
Abu Dhabi. I have a question, do you do the

(01:21:53):
Aladdin ride there or not? Or would people find that
a little little insulting right there? And I don't know,
I don't know if Disney has the moral high ground
opening theme parks where they can still murder you for apostasy.
How do you basically renouncing religion and until like five

(01:22:14):
minutes ago you could you could stone your wife still
because she's acting like a hussy. So I don't know
if that's the best part for a theme park. Maybe
they'll have some customized rights. I don't know, could be interesting,
but yeah, so, by the way, they're not alone. Also
in currently this dude, when this thing collapses in the

(01:22:36):
Middle East, it's going to be wild. Warner Brothers World,
Sea World and Ferrari World are three other theme parks
currently being designed. But you know, the Disney thing, wasn't
expecting that. But also look at look at where you're
doing business, and then you know, feel free to preach
me from your moral high ground there on your app

(01:23:00):
ahead of a movie. Okay, all right, eight twenty three
will be right back, hang on, all right, I'm sending
this to Ross. He did not know about these, so
I was reading a little. So it looks like we're China.
At least there's some headway being made where they're not done,
probably not by a long shot.

Speaker 6 (01:23:18):
But.

Speaker 1 (01:23:20):
They are in a position where some of these tariffs
are going to have one hundred percentage points knocked off
of them, which you know is pretty good news for
some some some needs that are out there where there
really isn't see. One of the things that this is
exposed is a lot of this stuff, especially like aftermarket

(01:23:41):
automobile parts. I haven't seen a lot of videos on these.
They just they're just not made anywhere butt in China.
And so all of a sudden, if you like, I
saw a video where he's a mechanic at some dealership
and they've had a car where the button array on
the door that controls the four windows was malfunctioning. They

(01:24:01):
needed a new one, just that part, right, The windows
were fine, it was just just that part, that little
panel with the buttons on it, maybe the size of
a smartphone. And uh and NAPA was quoting like twelve
hundred dollars for it, and it was like eight hundred
dollars or one of their other suppliers. You showed the
part screen that they that they used to search out

(01:24:22):
for the OEM stuff, and it's it's like, what do
you think is going on with that? I'm probably gonna
have to order it, which is kind of a little
crazy to me, but yeah, so that's good. And then
I was telling Ross, I'm like, you know, but they
also have to do this negotiation because I really wanted
to go there, but you can't unless you so I

(01:24:42):
don't know if you know this. You can go to China,
and you can go to and you have to you
have to get a visa for which part of China,
but you're limited where you can travel. And I don't
just mean like if you're if you're gonna be up
in the northeast with Beijing versus you know down south
was Shangh Right, No, I'm talking about there are large

(01:25:02):
swaths of China that you just can't go to unescorted
or not on a specialty visa, which I did not
know until I went there went, but I wanted to
go because I had heard about these things. You know,
in China they have knockoff cities, right, They have like
recreations of cities from around the world. And these are

(01:25:25):
not little cities. And the one I wanted to go
to and I couldn't go to because it didn't fit
with why we were there. But they have and I
hate that they call it this. They have a Jackson
Hole recreation in China, just randomly built one just over
the years, and it's it's not a theme park per se.

(01:25:46):
It's got I think it has ten thousand residents, which
is more than Jackson has, and they just recreated it
kind of mostly and it's it's it's not that far.
They also have like an English town. They have a parish,
except they always smuts it up with stuff. So like
if you go to the English town, it's a combination

(01:26:09):
of like James Bond, Winston Churchill with some Harry Potter
castle stuff built. They just kind of add on whatever.

Speaker 2 (01:26:16):
Well, it sounds like they completely nail the culture, right.

Speaker 1 (01:26:20):
What's that Winston Churchill, Harry Potter and James Bond.

Speaker 2 (01:26:23):
That's what I imagine.

Speaker 1 (01:26:24):
Yeah, yeah, you gotta have some Monty Python stuff in
there too, But yeah, that's pretty good. No, denis the
whole whole town, no dentist. Did you know that? Yeah? Crazy? Yeah,
but it's it's like it's it's kind of like, uh,
what was Shakespeare's City upon the Thames with Avon? No

(01:26:46):
is Avon upon whatever? Right, because they have weird naming
over there. It kind of has that vibe. So but
then it's got some Harry Potter stuff, so you're doing
the Shakespeare thing. And by the way, I don't know
if you saw JK rallying have to having to explain
to activists that Shakespeare was not trans Did you see
that fight over the weekend? You didn't see that on Twitter?

(01:27:10):
Because that's the thing. Unfortunately, I saw some of the
dumbest takes on Twitter. I'll tell you the crazy. The
dumbest thing I saw was an article from screen Rant
and I don't have it in front of me. But
the headline with some along the lines of watching the
watching the New Disney Store of referring to and Or
now makes me understand that Hans Solo may have been

(01:27:30):
a main may have been an important character. Is that
I'm sorry, Is there an element to the Star Wars
fandom that doesn't see Hans Solo as an important character?
Is that a thing apparently was a thing? I'm like,
he's the O g Man.

Speaker 2 (01:27:49):
I'm guessing. I don't know why they would say that.
Maybe because like in you know, in and Or, there
isn't a lot of Jedi stuff like lightsabers, And there's
been one instance of somebody actually mentioned the Force in
this past season, like a few episodes ago, and it
was really cool because we've been so far away from
it that when it was reintroduced in this way, they
were sort of like a magic to it like there

(01:28:10):
was back in the day. So maybe they're thinking, because
now we see that there are people in the Rebellion
that aren't Jedi, that for some reason they now put
value in Han Solo, which is really dumb.

Speaker 1 (01:28:22):
Yeah, it's no, no, don't get me wrong. Were Solo's
motivations transitionary in the original movies. Absolutely right, the guy's
a smugglers that he's the he played he was the
criminal with the heart of gold kind of thing, right.

Speaker 2 (01:28:36):
But an amazing story arc.

Speaker 1 (01:28:38):
Yes, yeah, well, to be fair, you know, the once
he figured out that he was having to compete against
her brother, you know, to get with her. So no,
that probably was helpful.

Speaker 2 (01:28:50):
He was a self centered scoundrel, right, that was for himself,
and he ended up you know, becoming something.

Speaker 1 (01:28:56):
Bearing about something more. It's a great story arc and
there's a ton of movies that do it, and it
was it is one of the best examples of it.
And yet they're like, oh, he wasn't really important to
the story. What are you talking about? Think of all
the things that wouldn't have happened, and start's right, we're
talking about Star Wars. I don't care if it's Monday.

(01:29:17):
We think of all the things that wouldn't have happened
in any of the Star Wars if Han Solo hadn't
been there to do them. I know that later they
knew heed his character and they let some woman walk
on to the you know, to his ship and basically
tell him how to run anything everything and how to
fix everything even though she'd never been on it whatever.

(01:29:38):
But I'm talking original og star Wars, No Han Solo,
a lot of stuff not getting done kind of an
important element. So yeah, I was, I was unfamiliar with
that little slice of the fandom there. So well, we'll
have to see, all right, a couple things real quick.

(01:30:02):
You go, You're gonna have to I I think that
this is gonna be the dude you want to go for.
So because there always has to be one one of
these criminal alien gang members that they're defending. I found
your next guy, because clearly the guy, you know, the
the guy from El Salvador wants the literal audio of

(01:30:23):
his wife's phone call came out, and yeah, it lost
some of its luster. This guy though new Mester, well
he's not new, but new story here ms thir team
gang member. Uh, they're they're they're gonna lock him up
for fifty five years just because he apparently killed four
guys in New York. And then the guy in Virginia,

(01:30:43):
his name is Anti Cristo. Anti Cristo. It literally is
the Anti I feel like this is. And he's got
all the face tattoos. You're gonna love him, so we
probably need to go fund me for this guy. You
want to get that going. Uh. By the way, Ross,
do you know how he murdered them? This is this
is this is pure MS thirteen. Machete He killed four

(01:31:10):
dudes in a park in New York and then take
the same machete he went to Virginian's and killed the guy.
So I'd be very curious to see this because this
is gonna be the big It should be the big story, right,
five people dead, machete dude from El Salvador MS thirteen

(01:31:32):
all in, but the anti Christ thing is a really
really nice touch there, all right, A forty three let's
see here, Oh there it goes? Okay, jump Mar from
the Weather Channel. What's going on, sir?

Speaker 4 (01:31:47):
Yeah, a lot of rain is going to be falling,
not only today, but as we head into Tuesday and
Wednesday as well. We'll finally drive it a little bit
later in the week, but that's not gonna be the
case on this Monday. We got a flood wash through
tomorrow morning with an injurer to a rain of possibility,
some spots maybe as much as two to four inches
falling as showers and storms continue. We should hit seventy
three and some more heavy rain will fall overnight with
the low in the mid sixties. We'll keep showers and

(01:32:08):
thunderstorms in the forecast both for Tuesday and Wednesday, with
highs in the midwupper seventies. Rain begins to taper off
as we have through Thursday, with a mix of clouds
and sun and a high warming up to eighty six degrees.

Speaker 1 (01:32:19):
Any thank you, sir, appreciate Are you with us tomorrow?

Speaker 2 (01:32:21):
Let's race back tomorrow.

Speaker 1 (01:32:23):
I'm pretty sure. Oh okay, all right, well, thank you
very much. Day, Yes, and we'll come back and shout
with Jeff Bellinger coming up next. Jeff, what's going on?

Speaker 9 (01:32:32):
Well, good morning, case and welcome back this report sponsored
by Total Wine and more.

Speaker 1 (01:32:37):
Well.

Speaker 9 (01:32:37):
American and Chinese negotiators say their weekend talks in Geneva
were productive. Both nations will roll back their tariffs for
the next ninety days to ease some of the pressure
while trade talks continue, and investors are optimistic a permanent
agreement can be reached. So we have the futures all
sharply higher. This morning. S and P futures are up

(01:32:57):
one hundred and seventy two futures are up seven hundred
eighty eight. In the Dow, futures are up one thousand
and seventy two points. President Trump aims to bring down
the cost of prescription drugs. He says he will sign
an executive order today that pharmaceutical companies charge Americans no
more than what they charge in countries with the lowest

(01:33:18):
drug prices. So pharmaceutical companies are poised to miss out
on today's rally on Wall Street. Apple is updated a
lot of its products in the last year or two.
That includes the iPhone sixteen and Series ten smartwatch, but
it has been sometime since the company has introduced something
really new. Bloomberg's Mark German says Apple has a lot

(01:33:40):
of breakthroughs in the pipeline, but it won't start rolling
them out until twenty twenty seven. A lot of people
will actually be staying closer to home this summer. Triple
A says we'll see in a couple of weeks that
people are increasingly choosing road trips over flights. It's projected
the number of people driving this Memorial Day weekend will
be up from last year. Gasoline prices are down from

(01:34:02):
a year ago airline tickets are up. In Casey, the
Marvel film Thunderbolts was the number one movie for a
second weekend in a row. Studio estimates say it took
in another thirty three million dollars. Sinners from Warner Brothers
held on to second place with ticket sales of twenty
one million dollars.

Speaker 1 (01:34:20):
Casey, were that vampire flick for like a month straight?
Is still top three? Yeah? I might have to actually
see that thing. Have you seen it? Jack?

Speaker 9 (01:34:28):
I have not. I've seen the It's gotten good reviews though,
so it might be something I'll check out when it
comes to TV.

Speaker 1 (01:34:35):
Yeah. That's probably me too. All right, thank you, sir,
to appreciate it. We'll chat tomorrow.

Speaker 2 (01:34:39):
Okay, sounds good.

Speaker 9 (01:34:40):
Have a good day.

Speaker 2 (01:34:40):
Yeah, there you go.

Speaker 1 (01:34:42):
Oh this is I just saw the weirdest story here.
Oh man, we've all you've all seen those stories right
where there's somebody gets murdered. You just saw this with
the father of the young man who was stabbed in
the heart by the other young man allegedly. Yeah, and
then of course there's all the racial stuff too. But
you know, the ability to sit there and look at

(01:35:04):
the person who took your family member, your friend, your
loved one's life, and say that you forgive them like
and you know, people of faith will approach it from
that direction, even people have not of faith would approach
it from just I can't hold onto this internalized stuff.
So if I forgive them, then you know that helps me?

(01:35:28):
Heal right, And I don't Unless you've been there, I
don't know what you do. Ross you think you could
forgive somebody. Let's say, and the story here is a
road rage incident, so this place, this took place in Arizona.
A family lost their loved one because some lunatic got
road rage and murdered their loved ones. Let's say God
forbid that happen to like one of your siblings or

(01:35:50):
family member. Do you think you could forgive the person
who did it?

Speaker 2 (01:35:53):
I think over time or I think yeah, I would
try to forgive them in my heart. But that doesn't
mean that they shouldn't suffer legal consequences for their actions.

Speaker 1 (01:36:00):
Sure, that's the render of ton Caesar kind of that's
you know, that's the separation there. One thing is one
thing and the other thing is this is the consequences
of one's actions. How would you indicate that forgiveness. Should
you be able to cook because you got to tell
people so that you can quote get it off your chest? Right?
Maybe not at the sentencing that might be too fresh.

(01:36:24):
Maybe on social media you put it up for a
celobic statement.

Speaker 2 (01:36:27):
Depends how big it is me like a press conference
or something.

Speaker 1 (01:36:30):
You know. How about getting a company to create an
AI likeness of your murdered loved one so that they
in the courtroom at sentencing on an eight inch monitor
that it previously showed the autopsy and what happened really
gruesome photos. Is their ghost for giving them?

Speaker 2 (01:36:44):
Okay, that's super weird that happened.

Speaker 1 (01:36:47):
That just happened. The family of Christopher Pelke, was shot
and killed in a twenty twenty one road rage incident
in Arizona, played an AI video portraying Christopher's like this
during the killer's court sentencing. I don't know about how
I feel about this man. To Gabriel, this is what

(01:37:11):
it said. I just saw this. I have time to
rip the audio to Gabriel or Casitis, the man who
shot me. It is a shame we encountered each other
that day. In those circumstances, another life we probably could
have been friends. Oh no, this is so I don't know.
I don't know if you want to be guys, sounds

(01:37:31):
like a lunatic. I believe in forgiveness and and any
God who forgives, I always have and I will I
always will. I don't know. Man, Like, if I'm not
the family, they can make their own decisions. But having
a recreation of the dead person doing the forgiving there,

(01:37:51):
and hey, it's not even just morbid. I don't care
what the what the killer thinks. I don't care at all,
But like, that's just so so creepy from a family standpoint.
That's why, Like, have you seen where they can recreate
If you have audio recordings of a dead loved one,
you can create using the voice a chatbot. That's a

(01:38:13):
thing that exists. Now that's some that's some weird sci
fi stuff. So you know, if your cousin died or whatever,
you're like, Man, I love I love talking to Ricky, right,
use the freedom checks guy anyway, forgot about that, Ricky? Uh?
And you like talking to him and you got some
voicemails or you have some videos that he uploaded to

(01:38:34):
social media. You don't need that much, and you can
create a chat bot.

Speaker 2 (01:38:40):
I mean, that's super weird, but I can see how
that could maybe give like older people who've been with
their spouse for fifty sixty years some comfort. You see
the video of the older guy. There's this viral video
that want to run around. It went around well back
when you're talking about and it's like they give the
grandfather a pillow with this simply the hit the way
his wife's face on the pillow and he breaks on
his tears absit alone, having like somebody you could actually

(01:39:01):
talk to again.

Speaker 1 (01:39:02):
By the way, Ross isn't real, so he's an AI chatbot.

Speaker 2 (01:39:05):
No, it's been this way forever. Yeah, ye, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:39:10):
We retired him to an island like six months after
the show.

Speaker 2 (01:39:12):
It's so nice though. He's really enjoying it.

Speaker 1 (01:39:15):
It's an upstate it is. Yeah, it's a farm island upstate.

Speaker 2 (01:39:18):
He's a big fan of farms.

Speaker 1 (01:39:20):
Yeah. If you ever talking about him in the second
person there, you.

Speaker 2 (01:39:22):
Go go back and listen. Man, this guy.

Speaker 1 (01:39:25):
And by the way, he is sponsored by Olive Garden
if you couldn't tell.

Speaker 2 (01:39:28):
So they have an olive garden on the farm. He's
so happy. Yeah, don't worry about it.

Speaker 1 (01:39:32):
It sounds like a super nice farm man. Yeah, I
don't know. This thing is creepy, dude,
