Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Here we are, and it was what was the busiest
we busy ish weekend. Uh lots to uh lots to
reflect upon. Boy, where do I start? Well? I mean
that the PG Championship right right ross wow, huh PG Championship,
especially Sunday, and yeah, like you never you didn't know, no, no,

(00:25):
we did not not and then you know right in
the green yeah well yeah, but no at first you
like you know, you're like who right? Yeah, yeah, yeah,
I mean that going into side like you didn't know,
and then and and then he he emerged there I
would say, what would you say he emerged the most

(00:47):
on I I think I think it was you know,
like a like the whole course, yeah, capsular one, right,
but the whole course encapsulated his game. And then right
at the end you know yeah yeah, but but you
know the one, the one on the front nine right

(01:09):
with the with the thing. I would say, you'll give
you this, I would say, yeah, no, it was one
of the eighteen holes. Yes, yeah, yeah, So it's hard
to pick one. You know. Aaron Raie, like most people
don't know who that is kind of for this known
for the guy who golfs with two gloves, right, yeah,
the dark horn usual yeah, yeah, yeah, you know, and

(01:31):
uh and he's Cinderella country in Europe, right, yeah, Cinderella
story which which country?

Speaker 2 (01:38):
Again?

Speaker 1 (01:38):
Was that I of your block there, part of the
block there, but no, but it's specifically the country. No,
actually not, oh man, I don't want to get into
the politics of it, okay, all right, yeah, so he's British,
yeah yeah, but no, but in all seriousness, like it

(02:00):
was you didn't know people, you know, Smalley was, you know,
and a nail bier. Well it was in the sense
that you had, but like twenty eight golfers within like
two strokes, pretty crazy for the last day of a major.
So and he just went out and dominated that eagle
on nine. So I don't know, I kind of like
it when somebody who's never won wins a major. That's

(02:23):
kind of cool to me, right because what an achievement.
So that was good. And then you know, I'm getting
a little the head of the horse on Saturday, right,
you know the thing on Saturday, the the Netflix MMA thing.
Huh Ronda Rousey, Gina Carano. I did catch that fight

(02:44):
out accidentally by scrolling my x feed. Well you got
the whole the whole fight. I was scrolling through X.
I'm like, there's the fighting. Now it's over, and now
I'm onto the next post on X seventeen seconds. Man,
if we if we hit the stretch feature on Adobe Audition,
it last sit as long as one of my daily promos.
So yeah, yeah, I know. It's amazing what happens when

(03:06):
she actually, you know, Ronda Rousey goes back to getting
people on the ground and submitting them like grapples and
doesn't try to box. Yeah. And look, there's all these
conspiracies out there because there was video of her with
a sparring partner right before the fight. That's so dumb.
Oh wow, I can't believe that a professional fighter was
practicing a move. Yeah, especially a move that she's kind
of known for with the arm bar. That's kind of

(03:27):
her thing. Always has been her thing, right, went back
when she was so the idea, yes that she's It's like,
it's like, who's your kicker for the Bills. What's his name?
I'm not sure the kicker is this year? Oh okay,
you're talking about bass Okay, but let's just say it's
an NFL kicker before the game, like kicking field goals
and you're like, ah, look get scripted. Right. Oh, I

(03:50):
knew he was gonna do that. Look at that they
bring him on the field, he does the same thing.
So I don't know that I buy that. Look, here's
the scenario. One. I don't dislike Ronda Rousey or you know,
Corno at all. Right, I know there's some there are
some Rousy haters out there. That's fine, you know, really
with Krano, the only Corno haters out there are like moonbats, right,
who were just happy to get a run from the

(04:11):
Mandalorian and then watch her co star Pedro Pascal not
just not defend her, but also essentially say the same
stuff on Twitter. So but like her whole story was,
she gained one hundred pounds after that. She since her
fighting day, she had already gained weight into being an actress,
right because she went for the muscly uh, which I mean,

(04:33):
which is a role that you know clearly suit her,
the bouty hunter chick kind of thing. But all told,
from her fighting day she was up almost one hundred pounds.
And so over the course of eighteen months they were
planning this, she had she had to cut the weight.
They weighed in. They both weighed in around what one
forty I think went out there, and you know, Karana

(04:54):
was also a that was like rousies. That's who Rowsy
looked up to because Karana was in the game before her.
And they went in and it was a very quick
submission seventeen seconds in. We really didn't get a lot there.
You know, I was with a group of people. We
spent hours in the build up. And don't get me wrong,
there were some good undercard fights. One dude I'm pretty

(05:16):
sure lost all of his blood uh in the second
round of his fight. He was just just a geyser man.
So yeah, you know, all told it was a good
gather with some friends. It was funny because the people
that were most angry, that the type you know, the
main card fight with Krano and Rowsey only went seventeen seconds,

(05:37):
were like the women there at Like with the group
I was with, they were like, man, they wanted blood.
They were so excited that it like the main car
was two women. It was only seventeen second And I
told him, I'm like, well, if you guys want to fight, like,
we'll reugh this thing. They did not want to fight,
so the whole dynamic or in that fight, like the
haters are so weird. Yeah, you know, Ronda Rowsey, you know,

(05:57):
sort of lost herself. Remember she fought how Home and
she got the ever living crap kicked out of her
because leading up to that fight, they were like, Ronda
Rousey can only beat people on the ground. She can't
stand toe to toe, she can't box. And she was like, oh,
I'll show you. I'll stand toe to toe and I'll
just box. And she lost a big time and then
the same thing happened again, and she should have never

(06:18):
you know, when she was doing her thing, which was
what worked. Grappling judo gets you in the ground, submits you.
She probably would have she probably would have won that fight.
She's getting back to herself, Krano. She wouldn't have been
in this position if Disney hadn't fired her for having
a political opinion on COVID. You know, how dare someone
post a meme saying, hey, really maybe just yet? Her

(06:39):
position was I don't know, maybe the government shouldn't force
us into vaccinations and Disney was like, well, now you're fired.
She gains one hundred pounds. She probably really depressed. The
fight was good for her, because she got batter Yeah,
back in shape, and I'm sure she she got the
bag and now she can buy a new house or
whatever she wants to do with the moment she's doing.
And her husband go buy the house in Hawaii they wanted,
so good for both of them. Yeah, I got no

(07:01):
beef there. Like I said, there was some good undercart
like it was. It was an enjoyable evening just hanging
out with friends and watching The Fights Man, And it
was on Netflix, you know, a combination of CBS Plus
and Netflix. If you had that, you were set to go.
You didn't have to buy some crazy package. You know
what I'm saying, I have to spend fifty dollars one
hundred bucks. Just just got entertained. I'm okay with that.

(07:22):
You know, sometimes expanding where they broadcast stuff isn't the
worst thing in the world. So yeah, I got. I
got like, there's nothing negative there, And going back to
the rousing thing, people act like, well, you know, well
then she's just picking and choosing her battles. Yeah, welcome
to fighting. Welcome, you know what I'm saying. Welcome to
how that works. It's part of the soap opera. Volovig

(07:44):
he wants a shot at the title. No, or he does,
and then not changing your fighting style. What was the
beef with Floyd Mayweather other than the fact he can't read?
What was the beef with him? He's only defensive, He's
only defense. Yeah, we'll do it works. Yeah, you know what,
you know how much money he made, he made all
the money, he made all the money. It's like, you know,
if people were putting pressure on Floyd Moore in Mayweather,

(08:05):
They're like, oh, he's only fights defensive, and then that
gets to me. He's like, well, I'm gonna go, you know,
one hundred percent offensive, and then he gets his ass kicked.
Just imagine, imagine, by the way, applying those rules in
reverse to Tyson. Yeah, right, Like, oh, is this guy
always on the attack?

Speaker 2 (08:19):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (08:19):
If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Oh you should
just play defensive. No, I'm waiting for the haymaker. That's
why you watch a Tyson fight. You want that half
second where a guy realizes he doesn't screwed up agreeing
to this before he you know, doesn't know where he is,
so just stop it. Yeah, no, I got I got,
I got no problem. I hope Carono's in this expendable.

(08:41):
She was in the other Expendables for about a minute.
You know, they're doing an old female spin off of
the Expendables. Okay, I got here's the thing. People go, oh, well,
this is Hollywood being now, this is Hollywood just finding
a little more blood in that turnip. I don't think
this is as political as you think. You know, they
did that, didn't they do? What was the one with
the oceans Oceans eight? Right? Did you watch Oceans eight,

(09:04):
the all female one? I did not. Yeah, it's okay,
here's the deal is it's not it's it's it's not
as good as the men's one, just because the men's was,
you know, it was first it was it was a
remake of the rat Pack and all of that. So
it was fine. But I watched it. It's not the
worst two hours of your time. It's fine. And they
made they made some money. They want to do an all

(09:25):
female Expendables, fine, put them both in there. Put them both.
Was it Rousey also in the one of the Expendables too,
Get them in there, do your thing. Just entertain And
even though it was only seventeen seconds and Ross accidentally
saw it, accidentally. It's you know, it's it still did
what it's supposed to do. It's okay, and we've got

(09:48):
to take our mind of stuff. I mean, cause, like
words it Ross. I'm assuming you in the family were
just huddled in fear at your house over the you know,
the the uh, the super racist dude down in Fayetteville
that they finally captured, right, just living in fear of
the you know, the white supremacist that was I'm opinion

(10:09):
all the I'm Boston, gonna be honest, that was completely
oblivious to the story until I read that last night. Yeah. Yeah,
but they caught him, so that's good, right, yeah, right, yes, yeah,
the future grand cyclops, they're just taken down in his prime.
So we'll get into that as well. We got AOC

(10:30):
in the news. We appreciate that. Just let me just
tell you, Yeah, we're gonna be all over the place today.
I'm just gonna have to deal with it. Okay, it
is Monday, It is six seventeen. Hang on, welcome back,
It is Monday. Glad to have you along here on
the case O Day Radio program. All right, so I'm

(10:51):
immediately getting inundated with this. I want you to know
I did not. Not only did I have nothing to
do with this, I didn't even know what was up
until I'm just sitting there. I minded my own business.
On would have been Saturday, I guess it would have
been Saturday. It was a late Friday. Hang on, just
a sec, mind my own business. Okay, this would have

(11:13):
been Friday afternoon. And it was one of these weekends
where I'm like, I am going to be super unplugged
on stuff until Sunday. Right then, I have no choice
because you gotta get ready for Monday. And I just
get this text into a group text between me, Ross
and our Raleigh program director Trevor, and it just wrote,

(11:36):
I veto birthday petition no days off exclamation point, and
I want you to say. At this point, I have
no idea what the hell he's talking about? Nothing? And
then and then Ross responds with a picture of Ronald
Reagan and and it says no in all caps. So

(11:57):
I'm like, what did I miss? So I go to
the I'm like, all right, so I'm looking at right.
I go to the Twitter account and what is this?
Ross is very excited. I go to the Twitter account
and it appears that somebody and I don't know if

(12:17):
they had AI do it right because it's so detailed.
Somebody put together a change dot org petition trying to
petition I guess management or whoever that Ross and I
should have what tomorrow off as some sort of and
not just Ross and I, everybody as some sort of

(12:39):
official holiday celebrating my birthday. And I see that Ross
has retweeted it on his account or tweeted on his account,
but then retweeted it on the show account, and that's
how the boss came to see it. And so I
mean this, to that point, I had not seen any
of this. What how's that going, how's your petition going,

(13:04):
how's your change It's not mine? Okay, that's what you said.
It is not. You can see who the author is.
A listener, I think is by the clues A listener
sent me that I listened that you're well aware of,
and I said, I said, ha, ha, that's funny. I'm
going to repost that. Yeah you did. Yeah, And also,

(13:24):
I guess it's your birthday. I was completely oblivious to
the fact that tomorrow is your birthday?

Speaker 3 (13:29):
Is it?

Speaker 1 (13:30):
So I appreciate him pointing that out. And you know,
he brings I don't know if AI wrote it for him,
but it brings up some valid points. That's it thought.
So yeah, well you're the crux of it here, hang on,
hang in, uh here we go? Do you do?

Speaker 4 (13:48):
Do?

Speaker 1 (13:48):
Come on? Change that or get a load for me
this morning? It says, declare Tuesday a regional holiday, CaCO
Day Appreciation Day, and grant mandatory time off uh for
in this case, Ross and I and apparently everybody else
if I'm understanding this correctly, and then sixty two individuals
who clearly needed more to do with their weekend. I

(14:11):
have already signed on to this thing, although I'm a
little I'm a little sussed with some of the people
who've signed this petition, including slender Man. Wow do we
think Tom Tillers would have signed? I believe that is
Tom Tillis m hm h Jack meet, Well you get that. Uh,

(14:33):
here's here's one. Ross Hayes, I did sign it. Yeah,
I'm taking the day off, are you not? Are you
supposed to sign your own petition? I'm not sure how
that it's my petition, dude. Okay, here's one from Whiskey Oday.
That's not a thing. Now that might we might have
to disqualify that one because I'm not sure if felines

(14:57):
are allowed to fictional fictional fictional, just animals in general consign.
This should be like the big big boom beer signing.
That's what I'm saying though, But they can't sign it's
an object. But this would be a living creature. I'm
not sure it's allowed to sign a chance under your acquisition,
under your accusations, it would not be a living creature, right,
They're not my accusation. That was Boston Paul Okay, who

(15:19):
is a police officer, got it back the Blue as
an unapologetic racist has been terrifying the Fayetteville area. Please say.
They received multiple reports of a white supremacist who's been
drawing swastika spray painting swastikas all over property. Also been

(15:41):
pointing guns at drivers, just kind of standing there alongside
the road pointing guns at people passing by. It's pretty terrifying,
but thankfully, thankfully officers in Fayetteville got this super super
racist uh and get basically they responded to one of
the latest incidents. They show up, there's the racist. Uh,

(16:03):
just just the description that people had given him pointing
guns at cars again and and so please show up.
He sees them, he takes off on foot. They're able
to apprehend him, and there he is, drug in mug,
he's fingerprinted, got the mug shot, and now he's he's

(16:23):
facing charges for running around with his little white supremacist artwork.
Fayabeel police said they arrested eighteen year old Taekwon jimmyte
Veren the Unabashed, probably future grand cyclops. I don't know,
it's the upward trajectory on this guy's only eighteen, but yeah, unapologetic,

(16:47):
super big at Taekwon jimmyk Veren was Let's see, he
was given fifteen hundred dollars bond for the swastika incidents
and then rearrested again now now receiving an additional twenty
five bond over the pointing guns at people. Right, this

(17:09):
is this is just a guy with the dream. Is
that they're putting in the work trying to get that
next Reich to come about. God's chosen people, the Arians
to go ahead and run things. But now his plans
have been thwarted. So there's that ross. You're breathing a
sigh of relief that super bigots off the streets there

(17:29):
not gonna be able to go out and do all
the racist stuff anymore. For even though you know, Favo
is a long way from wake Forest, but you never know.
I don't know man about it. What's the name again
of the of the super racist Yeah, the Arian nation
enthusiasts taekwon jamik Vereen. You think that's Norse, maybe like

(17:56):
Norwegian or something like that. Yeah, yeah, that's what Norse is, yeah,
scanned an Yeah, take one of the uh you know,
the Viking background there probably so now for the yeah,
maybe along like the line like the leg of the
Clinton Bigsby line. I'm not is that another Norwegian? I'm

(18:17):
not aware? Oh that's a Dave Chappelle reference. If you're
not aware, Oh, I think, Okay, And what happens in that,
you know, you know, you're just gonna look it up
and you go on the adventure of yourself, okay, Yeah,
all right, educate yourself. Yeah, so you're saying there might
be some similarities between that and right white rule enthusiast
take one here, Yeah, yeah, some people, Now, some people

(18:43):
and I don't like to put labels on things. Some
people are wondering about his uh, his skinhead, uh bona
fitees you know what I'm saying, right, due to the
fact and and again I don't get hung up on
this stuff, but due to the fact that he's some

(19:04):
people would say a black that maybe maybe this Swaska
thing was not for real, for real. So but I look,
I'm not here to pass judgment. That's up to the
jurors down there in Cumberland County prosecutors, you know, everyone
involved here. Now, I will say this, do I think

(19:26):
if you subscribe to the theory that maybe it's a
hate crime, hoax or whatever, you know, some of the
craziness to see on the internet. I here's the deal.
Judging by a combination of his mugshot and the information
surrounding the arrest here of white supremacy enthusiasts, take one

(19:48):
that this is some sort of plot right to make
people think that there's you know, the Klan is here.
I don't subscribe to that because, by judge, based on
the background here and his mugshot, I don't think he
has the capacity for that. I think that I think

(20:08):
one of mister Taekwon's two brain cells went out for
smokes one time and didn't come back, right so now
he doesn't have two to rub together. I don't think
it's a master plot. I think maybe just like shapes.
I don't know. I just thought it would be funny
to do that because he's not really doing anything to
conceal his identity, right, because he's out there and I'm

(20:30):
gonna draw swastika. Here's literally a video of it, and
then immediately he transitions to without a mask on or
doing anything to really cover up. He does have his
hood up. I will say that he's not doing anything
to look like an evil white racist that would give
people that impression because now then immediately is just pointing
guns at people. But anyway, yeah, we were as as

(20:53):
this was being investigated, I was being assured that the
Arian Nation was out there running them up on the
streets of Fayetteville, and it was just another symbol of
all the racism all the time, all around us, everywhere,
all at once to steal that movie title. So I

(21:14):
don't know. According to the police press release, here, upon arrival,
officers located a male matching the description provided by witnesses
multiple witnesses. When the suspect observed the officers, he fled
on foot, but following a brief pursuit was located and apprehended.
A handgun was recovered at the scene. So again he

(21:37):
doesn't have very high bond, but he is facing now
cop multiple cases as they say, so breathe easy, citizens
of Cumberland County. The racism has been apprehended, but not
given a very high bond, so you know, potentially could reoffend.

(21:58):
We will find out, all right. I thought that was stupid. No, no, no, no,
I don't worry. AOC is here to take the cake.
So this I don't know if you saw over the weekend,
but basically Democrats were running around like they were marching
on that bridge and Salem again, and they were out
there with all their bluster and all their bullhorns. Because now,

(22:22):
based on the Supreme Court ruling and what you're seeing,
it's literally Jim Crow all over again. Yes, I know,
it was already Jim Crow all over again last week
and the week before that, and really any week since
about twenty sixteen. We've been doing this twenty fifteen, even
right when they started chirping on him. But you know,
going back to Joe, remember Joe Biden, just where was

(22:43):
he was just up in Danville was just up in
Virginia screaming they're gonna put you back in chains, right,
remember that from the campaign trail, So like we've been
doing this for a while. So Alexandria Okazio cor Tez
decided she was she was going to call to arms

(23:03):
there in Montgomery, Alabama, speaking at the All Roads Lead
to the South event. The Democrats stood behind bulletproof glass.
That's fun and try to rally the crowd with a
dramatic metaphor about political pushback. Okay, here we go, you know,
because like this is this is the big moment. Everything

(23:24):
that is done on the left is them trying to recapture,
but they never really participated in in the positive. I'm
talking about the Civil Rights era, which is deeply ironic
to me because if you remember, Civil Rights era was
a Republican thing at least as far as legislation went.
Those on the left they did everything in their power

(23:44):
to basically shout it down, shut it down, bilibuster it down,
all of the advancements that you saw there, but never
let the facts get in the way. Here's AOC rallying
the troops. It is time for the North to pull
up the South Okay, it is time for New York
to pull up to Alabama. Okay, it is time for

(24:08):
all of us to come to Georgia, to Louisiana, to Tennessee,
to Mississippi and let them know exactly what Wait you
coming here?

Speaker 5 (24:17):
Correct with this injustice?

Speaker 1 (24:20):
What about North Carolina? They can draw us out of power.

Speaker 4 (24:23):
They do not know the sleeping giant that they just awaken.

Speaker 1 (24:27):
Wait does that mean you drew yourself into power? Because actually, ironically,
the power you're referring to, the drawing and undrawing of it,
was a response, literally to your guys, is unabashed racism.
That's you know, that is the most ironic thing of
all of this. This this thing you thought was an advantage,

(24:48):
which kind of was right, kind of a racisty advantage
was something that we deemed necessary in this country because
you and your party wouldn't stop lynching people, burning churches down,
murdering freedom writers. You mentioned Mississippi there, right, remember Mississippi
burnie You ever see them? That's the thing that happened.

(25:09):
So anyway, I'm sorry, go ahead.

Speaker 5 (25:13):
It is not a coincidence, and our whole country must
understand that it was not until voting rights were ratified
in this country, that we got.

Speaker 4 (25:22):
The great society.

Speaker 5 (25:25):
Because when Black Americans have the right to vote and
that vote is protected us.

Speaker 1 (25:31):
You Democrats get a historically really really mad. Is that
what you're going to say? Is that what she's going
to say. Let's see schools get funded, the schools you
stood in front of to block integration, those ones or
all of them? Which ones?

Speaker 3 (25:44):
When voting rights are preted?

Speaker 6 (25:46):
Healthcare gets expanded.

Speaker 2 (25:48):
When voting rights are protected.

Speaker 1 (25:51):
Our country moves forward.

Speaker 5 (25:53):
And Montgomery, that's what they're actually afraid of.

Speaker 1 (25:57):
They're afraid of us coming together. Wait, what do you
mean in Montgomery? Isn't Montgomery majority black city? I'm so confused.
They're afraid of us protecting one another with like, where
were you? Like the shields, the human shields so the
little girls couldn't walk into school? Is that the protection
you're referring to that your team did? Bamma is the crucible?

(26:17):
Georgia is the crucible Tennessee, Louisiana. Only one of them?
Which one is you are not from here. It is
time to pull up. You're not from there. You're not
from there, right, okay?

Speaker 5 (26:38):
Because what they thought was the final blow is actually
just the opening silo.

Speaker 1 (26:44):
Oh the m m the opening silo. Huh do you mean?
Oh wait, hold on, what is this? Damn it?

Speaker 7 (26:58):
Ross?

Speaker 1 (27:00):
Ross, stop with your hold on. Yeah, I'm sorry, we
have to address this. I hate doing Ross. Did you
leave the silo open? Were you the last one? Why
is the silo open? I'm pretty it wasn't. I not
supposed to leave it open. No, you the rules are,
if you use the silo, you close the silo. Do
you want the grain to get moldy? I didn't even
know that was what was in there? Why? But so

(27:21):
you're just randomly opening things and then leaving them open.
I'm a city kid. Okay, it says right on there,
don't leave silo open. Uh, grain will get moldy. Why
do you want moldy grain? Bro? And then you get
raccoons in there. Oh, it's a whole thing. You gotta
keep the silo closed. Just spoil the whole harvest. Man.

(27:44):
Come on, dude, I thought it was a missile silo. Okay,
Well I look all right, mate, you didn't know, all right?
Is your one city kid exemption? You didn't know? Yeah?
You know, dude, you can't leave the silo open. Then
if it gets moldy and then you show it could
literally catch on fire, It's the whole thing. Look it up.
This is why it's important you close the silo and

(28:06):
not leave it open to see how fended AOC was.
She's a city kid, she knew opening silo bad news. Man. Now,
some would say she meant to say salvo, because you know,
that's the words that you're supposed to say, But I'm
not here to correct. She's on a roll man that
I'm very confused by everything she's saying though, So, yeah,

(28:29):
can you explain this to me? Can can black people
still vote? Yeah? Oh, because from what I'm hearing from her,
it sounds like they can't. Well, so it's funny you
mentioned that. So if if she and her party had
been standing there seventy years ago, eighty years ago, they

(28:50):
kind of couldn't. I don't know if I don't of
you know that even after like, all right, everyone gets
to vote. You had a lot of these counties down
in the crucible States, as she refers to them, where
black voters dare did not show up to h to
the polls right because bad things would happen to you,
and it literally required Uh, let's see civil Rights Acts

(29:13):
enforcement through the use of National guardsmen to essentially make
it so that you could do those things, and because
she would historically be against them, and and now now
you can. So I'm also very confused. I bear with
me here, but I'm new to this entire topic. Just

(29:35):
like the dilogues. I'm very new to this, and I
don't need to be causing a problem here. I'm genuinely curious.
So is she saying, if you have, like an all
black neighborhood, you should just assume all those people are
going to vote Democrat because they're black, if they know
what's good for them. Would that not be racist? Well,

(29:55):
it would be similar to saying, hey, if you're a
white person, you're obviously going to be voting public. You
don't vote for the white candidate, right or Republican. Yeah,
but I'm sure, I'm sure there are people on the
left of Democrats listening that would hear me say that
and be like, you are wrong. I am white and
I'm not voting Republican. But what she's saying would be
equivalent to that, correct, right, but in opposite land. Yeah,

(30:16):
so that's not racist, though now it sounds from my
outsider point of view, that sounds horribly racist. Right, Well,
you're not from the South, and she is not from
the South either. Okay, yeah, it's also very she's from
New York, Dude, you wouldn't understand, I know, but I
am also from New York.

Speaker 7 (30:33):
Ah.

Speaker 1 (30:34):
Yeah, So you don't want to, you know, paying this
all with the same brush, right, Like, uh huh, yeah,
I'm saying that were different. Right, she grew up in
New York, but so did I. Uh huh. I'm not
understanding your points. So we're not the same just because
we're from the same area. You can't say I'm gonna
go into box A just because I'm from a certain
area or vote a certain way because I'm from a

(30:56):
certain area. Uh huh. Yeah, because you'd be like, oh,
you're from New York, You're gonna vote blue, and I'm like, no, actually,
I'm gonna vote red. All I hear is stay in
your lane. Okay, that's what I hear. Well, I'm sorry. Yeah,
if you're from New York, you'd understand, but once again,
I am, yeah from that area. Yeah, but you also
left the silo open, so I did. You're not to

(31:18):
be trusted. Yeah, boy, she's just a gift that keeps
on giving, man, Just to keep the gift that keeps
on giving. And I do appreciate her dedication. All right,
coming up on the show, since we sold racism in
both Fayetteville and I guess the South, so good on
that we got to talk about sixteen year olds getting married?

(31:40):
Where's this one story? I'm very excited to do this story,
so excited I forgot where I put it. Hang on,
Oh yeah, there's two of them. I think this is fascinating.

Speaker 4 (31:50):
Sore.

Speaker 1 (31:50):
You guys familiar with the grandparents lawsuit, So this is
the whole thing. This is a whole thing that went
to court. And I don't know, man, like, there's a
lot going on here. But imagine you're a widow or
a widower, right, and you got really young kids, right,
and then tragedy strikes, your spouse passes away in this case,

(32:14):
from cancer, and now all of a sudden, you're a
young parent. Your partner's gone, you're dealing with the kids,
and all of a sudden, the partner's parents, who's now deceased,
start acting weird, man, start acting weird, and you have
to go to court literally because now they're going to

(32:37):
take you to court over visitation rights, and initially courts
are going to start agreeing with them. And so now
I got this whole family dynamic where you're already dealing
with the grief of losing your spouse, but you're trying
to figure out what's going to be best for my kids.
Probably gonna have to juggle things with work now that
you're a single parent and you're a lawsuit hell. And

(32:57):
that's what happened to a father in Rhode Island. And
I don't know who's right here, but we'll get into
it coming up. Eight eight eight nine three four seven
eight seven four. You want to be on the show,
that's how you make that happen. And like I said,
we're kind of all over the place this morning. Busy weekend.
PGA Championship was over the weekend that was. It's pretty exciting,
even though you know Aaron Rau or Rye or however

(33:19):
you say his name. I again, I kind of like
seeing somebody when their first major, even if it's somebody
I've frankly never heard of. Kind of fun that way
right to shows you at any moment, anyone can go
out there and do it, so that was very cool.
I was among those two that spent Saturday at a
little watch party with some friends, all super pumped to

(33:43):
watch Rowsy and Krono go at it. And of course
some of the other fights were some pretty good fights
on there. And yeah, even though the main event was
seventeen seconds long, with Rowsy getting Coronto into submission almost immediately,
and then of course conspiracy theories out there. Oh man,
it was all fixed. It was all fixed. Here's video.

(34:06):
Here's video of Ronda Rousey with a sparring partner before
the match practicing armbar and actually not even the same
one she used, but that's kind of been her thing.
And then since they started practicing it, then she threw
that move, although slightly different. And I'm not an MMA guy.
Some guys were getting really down into the weeds on
the the specific physics of it and why it's slightly

(34:29):
different from what she normally does. And that's great and
I'm glad you guys are that into it. But as
somebody who enjoys watching the MMA, and I ye know,
I like the hype around it. Here's the thing. I
thought it was far more genuine than the fake boxer
fights an MMA guy, but it's only by boxing rules
kind of crap that we see. And because it wasn't

(34:52):
on a pay per view, even though you did have
to subscribe to Netflix right to be able to watch it.
And then of course we want to watch a lot
the Undercar. You had to watch that on Paramount Plus
because they have that deal with UFC. Now, it was
an evening well spent. It was fun. We're joking around good,
Like I said, my buddy's wife Arianna and her friend

(35:14):
Christina were like, they were far more. They wanted to
see these women beat the crap out of each other.
They were kind of like scary vicious watching that. So
it only went seventeen seconds. They were upset, but no,
it was fine. It was good man. So it was
a good weekend on the entertainment front. Then you had
lots of idiots out doing idiot stuff. So it's good

(35:35):
on the Kicker story front for the prep packet today.
And that's just between Washington and some law enforcement stuff.
But I saw this story and this is where I
want to start this morning. A Rhode Island father is
speaking out after winning a legal case against his late
wife's parents regarding visitation rights with his daughter. So again,

(35:57):
horrible story, but a lot of moving pieces here. So
this guy was married. Let's see here how long he
was married. Well, anyway, he was married to a woman
named Sherry Nasso and her parents are both now retired

(36:18):
but are both physicians, so those are his in laws.
And she was battling breast cancer, went under multiple rounds
of chemotherapy, cancer goes into remission and then you know
they're starting a family. They have a little girl and
name is Layla, and his grandparents they love visiting their granddaughter.

(36:39):
They would come out anytime they needed a babysitter, right,
this is a dynamic that's not unusual. Anytime they needed
a babysitter for a little Layla, grandparents were like, yeah, absolutely,
we'd love to have the kid over. And then she
started to have symptoms again, and it was kind of
crazy because her her parents are physicians and basically telling

(37:00):
her to ignore it and just kind of waited out,
and so she did for a while and started feeling
unwalled again. This is going back twenty twenty three, and
the parents kept telling her the symptoms were related to prozac,
but she was taking as part of her treatment for
the initial treatment. Some people come out of that dealing
with depression and other conditions. Great, because you're fighting cancer.
It's how it is. And so she'd put it off,

(37:24):
only to find out when she finally did go in
that she had a golf ball sized tumor in her brain,
and by then it was too late. They gave her surgery.
She never really woke up, she was in a coma,
and then she died. And at that moment, having supportive
in laws for now a single, young, widowed father would
be a really good thing in most scenarios. However, he said,

(37:47):
things quickly got weird following that, and in fact, he
actually walked in on his in laws holding the little
girl down and forcing medication onto her. Some he he
never consented to and also didn't look very voluntary. Now,
I understand, trying to give medicine to a kid a

(38:07):
lot of times can look like a kidnapping attempt, right
because the kids is, you know, went to medicine. There'll
be a little screaming and kicking. But yeah, they were
giving her a steroid pregnant zone and she had been
kneeling with an upper airway infection, and he just he's like,
you guys should have said something to me because that's

(38:28):
one that's a prescription drug. So at that point he's
just like yeah, and he saw some other stuff where
it was uncomfortable, and then they started making demands about
how he owed them visitation rights and it had to
be a certain amount of time, And at that point
he's finally like, yeah, you know what, even though I'm
I'm really going through it right now, I just lost

(38:50):
my wife, I just lost my daughter's mother, We're not
doing this. So what happened to? Grandparents sued. They took
him to Courtetitian to family court for visitation rights, claiming
they had rights to visit the granddaughter because the fact
that they were grandparents grandparents' rights. And initially they found

(39:13):
a family court that agreed. A judge granted what is
their name is Grisha and Corson or the parents' names
Naso is their last name, and they judged like, yeah,
they have rights, which threw a lot of people because
they're like, that's not what are you talking about? What
is even then and ordered mandatory visitation. Eventually the father's like, yeah,

(39:38):
we're not going to do this. File to complaint with
the state Department of Health accusing the grandparents of improperly
prescribing medication of both his wife and daughter, and refused
to resume the temporary supervised visits. He was found in
contempt of court. He was ordered to pay I think
twenty five hundred bucks, and then the trial took place.

(39:59):
It went month, but a judge she has just ruled
that the father's right, and I think the key piece
of evidence was there was actual recordings of him vocalizing
concerns about the in laws to other family and friends, saying, look,
this is the reason, I just I'm not comfortable with
the girl over there. And the judge, you know, recognized

(40:21):
that this guy had he had some concerns, and it's
not really the position of the court to get in
here and say that there's grandparents' rights, and so look,
is it a sad situation all around? Absolutely? Absolutely. It's
strange though the father says the girl, the daughter has
never asked why she's not seen the grand never requested
to see him again, he doesn't bring it up, she

(40:43):
doesn't bring it up. Whatever, never asked to see them.
But she's also just a little girl. So eventually, I
think questions will arise, but is she like five or
something four? And it sounds like at this point the
grandparents are trying to figure out if they're gonna appeal

(41:04):
this thing ross where you come down. I don't have kids,
so it's a little tougher for me. And it sounds like,
you know, your your in laws are probably pretty good
around the grandkids, But could you ever find yourself in
a position where you're like, I know, I mean, the
whole situation is so bizarre because of like the forced
like he walked in and then like you know, giving

(41:26):
her the shot or whatever, Like I don't even know
how to process that. Yeah, And again, right, you know,
giving a kid medicine could sometimes look like terrorism, but
it's it's the fact of what it was. They never
brought it up. It wasn't like they were trying to
give her like liquid, you know, Benadrill or something. You know,
I don't want that. I mean, you're giving her You're
giving her freaking steroids, you're giving her pregnant zone and

(41:50):
you didn't bring up with the father. And again, he
could probably use some really supportive people to help him
out right now, just having to rearrange his whole life
around now being a single parent. But inherently, do you
think grandparents have inherent rights to see grandkids because I don't.
I think you got to deal with the parents, man,

(42:11):
parents are the parents. So if you guys want to
weigh in on that, please do eight eight eight nine
three four seven eight seven four. But also I can
see it from a grandparents standpoint. You've been waiting your
whole life to be a grandparent, and I'm super exciting
from a grandparents point of view, right, and you also
you lost your daughter, yes, and that's the last little
price of her yeah, exactly, mm hmm. But should they

(42:34):
have inherent rights or did the court overstep? I kind
of feel like the court over step. Yeah, legal rights,
I'm not so sure about that. Obviously, you want to
have like a you know, a loving relationship with the
grandparents and you want to share that time with them,
But when it comes to the actual law, I'm not
sure they have rights. And I think and I think
it'd be a lot harder to fix this relationship now
that you went through a monthslong court battle. I think

(42:56):
initially if they'd just been like, yeah, look, we're physicians,
maybe it was the proper treatment or at least one
of the proper treatments for what she was dealing with.
She was dealing with some breathing issues there, and you know,
the steroids are used to treat breathing issues. It's what
you're inhaler. Is that being said? Man, you got to
talk about it. So maybe the better thing would have

(43:18):
been like, look, I'm sorry, we're just positions. It's just
natural reaction here and we shouldn't have done anything. And
then maybe after a few months things, you know, start
to work back towards normal. But man, I don't know
if you're gonna fix it after you got you got
a contempt hearing for this guy. Fine, I don't know
that they refunded that to him, and you made him

(43:39):
not only deal with the loss of his wife and
everything that's going on, but also you drug him into
court for months and he had to incur whatever those
costs were. Plus now he doesn't touch the state, I'm sure,
So I don't know eight eight eight nine three four
seven eight seven before you want to opine, yes, Plus
now he doesn't have free babysitters. Oh yeah, yeah, And

(44:00):
that's why this, this is why this is so problematic,
because this is when he needs that support structure because
now he's still got to make ends meet. But it's
nice to have that free babysitting option. Plus you want
a relationship with the granddaughters, excited to go see your
grandparents for all the good stuff that comes from. Then

(44:21):
I was about to say, how many good memories I
have with my grandparents. Yeah, I love going over to
my grandparents. Loved it. Grandfather's big pool table, and he
would even though we called him grumpa, he's got good dude,
and my grandmother would just dote on us. I told
you so. My grandparents they lived in Santa Barbara, so
when I was going to school, I could just go

(44:41):
over and like gorge over at their house, and it
got so bad. I would show up and my freaking
roommates would already be there because they lived on the
other side of the college and it was easier just
to go over there rather than to go back to
the house. Plus they had food, and so like I'd
bring my I'd bring my roommates over there. My grandmother
just loved it because she loved having you know, she

(45:02):
considered kids in the house. Right, So these are these
are grown eighteen nineteen year old men. And my grandmother's
just say hey, anytime you guys need something. So I
would show up like between classes in the middle of
the day to get it, like a sandwich or something.
I walk into two of them be there and my
grandmother and have a huge spread on the table just

(45:22):
out of her way, and be like, here's a sandwich
assembly station. Here's some fruit, because she had a bunch
of like fruit trees and stuff. And and I'll make
you whatever else you want. And and here's people literally
using my grandma. But my grandmother loved it because she had,
you know, she had four boys and a daughter. She
had a big house full of kids. And now everyone,

(45:46):
you know, everyone's out. Now she gets that, she gets
that all over again. And I love that for her,
and I like that for them as long as they
didn't eat the good cold cuts rug out there. But
now you don't have that, So please feel free to
weigh in seven nine eighteen. We'll take a break and
be right back. Hang on, Bill, you're up first, go
right ahead.

Speaker 7 (46:07):
I got worse than that. On the meeting my daughter,
her mother was killed in a murder suicide out in.

Speaker 1 (46:13):
Colorado by her husband.

Speaker 7 (46:16):
Yeah, and now I had known of a fews going
on in that house. I was fighting in the courts
here in North Carolina, trying to get custody of my daughter.
Things really blew up a couple summers ago, and my
daughter actually ended up in the hospital. She was so
stressed out about having to go back to her mother.

(46:38):
The court's still ordered her to go back to the mother.
The courts didn't investigate for the police did an investigation
over there. They say everything's fine. They call me up.
The CPS says, everything's fine, don't worry about it, there's
nothing going on over there. This happens in September, and
then in March she's killed in the murder suicie. The

(47:00):
grandparents get first word. DPS never calls me. By the
time I hear about it, the grandparents have already swooped
in with all kinds of money, taken full custody of
my daughter, and now they have a permanent order. They
have total custody. I have no right to visitation.

Speaker 1 (47:17):
Where did you living? I'm sorry, sure I got that
less than a minute. I don't want to cut you off,
But did the grandparents live in Colorado? They live in
North Carolina?

Speaker 7 (47:27):
Actually, the grandparents live in Georgia, Colorado, just took control
because they wanted to. They said they felt it was better,
even though they know that I have a constitutional right
to raise my daughter. The judge felt it was better
for her to stay with the rich grandparents.

Speaker 1 (47:41):
Give you a little news recap or a little quick hit,
so I don't have to really reiterate all of it.
But here is just kind of the order of operations.
They did surgery and since the father talking about is now, decision.

Speaker 3 (47:56):
Came out of surgery in a coma. She died eleven
days later.

Speaker 4 (48:01):
The day she died, you saw her parents do something
that trouble due. Yeah, what was it?

Speaker 3 (48:11):
Sharry's parents had pinned on the ground.

Speaker 8 (48:14):
Sharry's mother had her pinned by her shoulders, and Serry's
father had one hand on her chest and I know
now was a syringe preentison that he shot down her throat.

Speaker 6 (48:27):
In court, Shiovash said he was treating Layla for croup.
He said that as Layla's pediatrician, he didn't realize he
needed to have Scott's permission to treat her. By that summer,
Scott decided he did not want them visiting Leila anymore.
Their reaction swift, But.

Speaker 3 (48:43):
What was your reaction when you got served with?

Speaker 4 (48:47):
We want to exercise our grandparent rights.

Speaker 8 (48:50):
The one thing I'll say on the grandparents' rights thing,
it's their petitioning for visitation.

Speaker 3 (48:55):
Because grandparents don't have these inherent rights to visit.

Speaker 6 (49:00):
A judge gave the grandparents temporary supervised visits. Those visits
were initially paused during a Department of Health investigation into Shivash.
Scott refused to restart the visits later, the judge ultimately
deciding in Scott's favor. That decision hanging on a key
piece of evidence. Ironically, Sherry's parents provided a secretly recorded

(49:22):
tape where Scott lists his concerns to some family friends.

Speaker 3 (49:26):
I so, are you here to spy on me? Are
you here to record me?

Speaker 1 (49:29):
No? No, we're not.

Speaker 3 (49:31):
Yeah, as it turned out, they were just Layla.

Speaker 4 (49:34):
Ever asked to see her grandparents.

Speaker 3 (49:36):
Leila has never asked.

Speaker 4 (49:38):
And what would you tell her if she did?

Speaker 3 (49:41):
When she gets older. That's going to be obviously going
to be a conversation where.

Speaker 1 (49:45):
I have to have Yeah, that's it, And that's one
other kind of unique piece. Here is that piece of evidence.
And I forgot to mention. This was because the grandparents
were secretly recording. I don't know there it's probably trying
to get him to say something. The whole thing is
just so ugly, man, just so ugly. And I guess
the only upside for it is Layla's young enough. It

(50:09):
doesn't sound like she's fully she doesn't know everything that's
going on. One day she will, but at this point
she's just you know, it's just being a little girl. Uh,
all right, one more quick call Anne, what's up?

Speaker 5 (50:26):
Yes, I just wanted to weigh in and say, you know,
in that sutureation, as far as the pregnant zone concerned,
that would have been handled the same way in a setting.
And when a kid has group like that, because I've
seen it, yeah, you got to treat you. Are you
in the emergency situation? I mean the child could actually
go into the bear joy distrain?

Speaker 1 (50:45):
And again both grandparents are are physicians, specifically one of
them is a pediatrician or was. They're both retired. But yeah,
so it's not like they were.

Speaker 5 (50:54):
Just two who's yeah. And if you've ever seen what
they do to a kid if or in the hospital
to make them take medications or.

Speaker 7 (51:02):
Do what they need to do.

Speaker 1 (51:04):
Yeah, that was not extreme.

Speaker 5 (51:05):
It wasn't extreme. The other thing is, you know, if
two parents separate or divorced, you know, grandparents can get
just shoved out of the way, even though they may
be an integral part of that child's life. I think
grown ups need to keep grown up problems between grown
ups and leave the children out out of it, just
as they do in divorced situations.

Speaker 1 (51:26):
Yeah, do you I think they had an obligation though,
to at least, I don't know, phone him and be like, hey, like,
we're gonna we need to give her some president zone
and here's why even Oh.

Speaker 5 (51:36):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I do believe that that that would
have been the case. But you know, I do think
that they should have, you know, asked his permission. But
I don't think what they were doing was extreme because
I've seen kids and how they can fight for medication,
and I've also seen a kid with group and how
bad it can be. It can be really bad. My
son was hostialized for it, and it can be really

(51:59):
really good.

Speaker 1 (52:00):
So I think the lawsuit kind of out of the
blue is really what set this off, because again I
think that he wants I don't know. I can't speak
for him, but in his situation, it would be really
nice to be able to lean into grandparents, especially grandparents
who are literally trained physicians.

Speaker 7 (52:16):
Right.

Speaker 5 (52:16):
But yeah, I agree with that, but you know, we
don't know the whole situation. From the garrandparents' side, he
may not have liked them. From the kid goes, you
don't know the whole family dynamic there, and the daughter
being sick, you know, forced him into their life, maybe
more than he wanted it. So you have to hear.
You know, I would want to know both sides a
little bit more. But honestly, that child could come first.

(52:41):
And even if she doesn't ask for her grandparents, she's
very very young. They can be distracted very easily. So
I mean, I'm just I'm my My stance on it
is lead the children out of it and let parents,
you know, parents and grandparents, because parents don't always agree
on parenting sure, or how they think of what should

(53:01):
go on with a child. So I mean, and then
they have to come together and compromise. I think you
should be the same way with grandparents.

Speaker 1 (53:08):
I think she's going to get yeah, she's I'm sorry.
You go ahead and finish up there, and I just
want to add one thing, go ahead, well, And the.

Speaker 5 (53:13):
Other thing is, see, there is this epidemic of children
I know. And then you can go on any TikTok, Facebook,
whatever you want to go on social media platform. There
is this epidemic of children cutting their parents out of
their lives and out of their grandparents' lives.

Speaker 1 (53:29):
I mean, read an article over the weekend and it's
just h yeah, go in no contact. It was the
whole thing about young adults.

Speaker 5 (53:37):
Yeah, yes, and then they use the grandchildren as a
pawns as some type of punishment grandparents.

Speaker 1 (53:45):
So grandparents, do you think grandparents having a legal do
you think that there is a legal precedent where they
should be forced to give at least supervised visitation.

Speaker 5 (53:58):
Well, in my opinion that a visitation is depending on
how a larger part of they were of the children's life.
If they have been a constant in that child's life
and then all of a sudden they're rinted away, I
do think it's set you off to the child.

Speaker 7 (54:15):
Now, if their.

Speaker 5 (54:15):
Grandparents that lived across the state, and you know, they
saw them on holidays and that was pretty much it,
that might be different but I think you do have
to look into more of the fact that how much
a part of that child's life were they because you know,
the best answers of the child of all of a sudden,
you've taken something from that child that they loved, that

(54:36):
they counted on.

Speaker 1 (54:37):
When she gets I think when she gets into school,
when she's around a bunch of peers, I think that's
when those questions are going to start to emerge, because
other kids will be like, Uh, what'd you do this week?
I went to my grandparents all weekend and and I
think that'll that's going to prompt her to start asking questions.
So look, I just I hope that they can find
some sort of and thanks for the caller in some
sort of normality before the kid entered school, because I

(54:58):
think that's really going to prompt him having to have
at least pieces of that discussion. So very very sad.
All right, one other quick little thing here. I do
not understand this, I'll be quite honest with you, But
a bunch of stores for the watch company Swatch, which

(55:19):
were supposed to open over the weekend. In fact, there
was a big launch. This is how stupid this is.
There was a big launch for this new, exciting, groundbreaking
product they're offering from Swatch a specific limited edition watch.
And it got so bad because people are being able
to flip these things when they buy them from the
store at each subsequent release that it's turned into near

(55:42):
riotous situations. In fact, there's video footage of a Long
Island store where police had to show up and use
pepper spray to disperse the crowd. So Swatch made a
decision and a lot of their stores unreleased day to
not open because they they couldn't deal with it. They
just knew that there'd be problems, there'd be violence in
some instance.

Speaker 4 (56:01):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (56:02):
For what is a a new watch called the Royal
Pop new limited edition crazy thing the the gen Z
just thought up, Ross, are you You're gonna be blown
away by this watch? Because people are like, well, what
is so crazy about it? So let me ask you
a question. Where do you uh, where do you normally

(56:23):
wear a watch? Ross? When you're wearing a watch on
my wrist? Hmmm, so the old people way? Huh do
it the old people way? Yeah? Yeah, yeah yeah, boomer?
Uh what if I told you they've come up with
a new way to do this all right, So instead
of going around your wrist.

Speaker 2 (56:43):
What it is?

Speaker 1 (56:44):
It's a watch? Okay, it looks like a watch, right,
you got the wash face right? Okay? Yeah, all right?
Do you put it in your pocket or something? Wait,
hold on, you get ahead of things. Don't get ahead
of things. And then attached to it is like a strap, sure,
a chain? Right? Yeah? And then rather put it on
your wrist, you know, the old timey way, the loser way,

(57:06):
the dork method, as it's known. You put the watch
in your pocket, and then the strap or the chain
may either connect to the pocket and then dangle out
a little. And then when you want the watch, you
pull your hand down there, you retrieve it out of
your pocket, you review it and go, oh my goodness,
it's three thirty and the zoomers don't miss, do they.
And then you put it back in there for later

(57:29):
when you want to see it again. So yeah, So,
now do you understand why they're willing to like Arson
stores for this thing? Is crazy sells for four hundred bucks.
They're flipping them for like three k online Brave New
Tech World.

Speaker 4 (57:43):
Man.

Speaker 1 (57:44):
Now, some would say that's weird because isn't that kind
of how your phone works right, because all the watch
really does is it just tells time. It's not like
an Apple watch where you can It's just that's what
it does. Oh those guy. And by the way, it
looks absolutely cartoonish. Have you seen a picture of this thing,
because I know what you're thinking. You're thinking pocket watch
from back of the day. It's very ornate, might be

(58:04):
made out of gold, might have been your great grandfather's. Hell,
I don't know if you know this. Sometimes people would
take watches like that and hide them in their butt.
I was just about to say that, yeah, and then uh,
and then give them back to the child of to
see soldiers. It's their birthright. Yeah, yeah, so that that's
the thing that used to happen. But this doesn't look

(58:27):
quiet like. This doesn't look nice enough where I probably
would hide it in my butt at a pow camp,
which I think is uh, you know, man, if you're
in the tiger cage, it's going up your butt, all right.
So I just I just texted you a picture of
this thing. You tell me if that's something you would
hide in your butt for several years in a pow
camp so you can return it to somebody's son. I
just texted you. The picture is that it's embarrassing. Is

(58:51):
that butt stuffable? No, it's not butt stuffable. They can
have it. Mm hmm. Here you go, Here you go, Charlie.
It's all yours, all yours, Charlie. All right, let's get raced.
Agic who was very busy on Friday doing raced aging stuff.
So I was with, yeah, yeah, good. PGA Championship went
without a hitch like that. It was a little warm

(59:11):
up there on Sunday, but the wind died down, which
had been a problem for the first three days. So yeah,
so now we don't any more warm weather.

Speaker 2 (59:19):
No, Well, el's here yesterday ninety four, ninety four and
Raleigh a record tied and more record heat. Maybe today's
record for Raleigh's ninety five at the airport at RDU
going ninety four. Probably even get there ninety five and
I'll try it.

Speaker 1 (59:37):
It's also I think it's ninety five degrees.

Speaker 2 (59:40):
No, we're going to quite get that warm, but still
at or above ninety and I think it's going to
stay that way right through midweek. So right through Wednesday,
sunshine for the most part, with highs and a little
mid nineties overnight lows in the mid upper sixties, so
even at night, mild, and then the rain chances going up,
and we're going to kind of flip the switch back
toward slightly cooler weather Thursday, showers around, maybe an afternoon thunderstorm,

(01:00:02):
but plenty of partly sunny, mid upper eighties, and then
made the mid upper seventies with afternoon showers on Friday.
As you get out and head on out for the
long holiday weekend coming up, which may be a little
on the damp side. Scattered showers and thunderstorms will be
in the forecast for Saturday, Sunday and Monday with highs
in the little bit eighties, so obviously we'll find tune

(01:00:22):
that forecast. A more concern is through Wednesday, the hot weather.
You know probably've already heard start talking about keeping yourself
cool and hydrated and all that stuff. A little touch
of summertime here for a couple of days.

Speaker 1 (01:00:34):
Yeah, you want to drink beer the whole day.

Speaker 2 (01:00:37):
Exactly, can't drink all day if you don't start in
the morning.

Speaker 1 (01:00:40):
That is correct. That great advice from raced Agic there.
We appreciate it. We'll talk in an hour, all right, yep, alright,
seven forty eight. Hang on, so o this story going
viral over the weekend. I'm going to get into it
to kick off the next to the final hour here
at eight oh five. But U, I don't know. I'm
a little torn. I think there's a piece of information

(01:01:00):
in this story. A lot of people who are reacting
to it are missing. So I want to make sure
that we get the whole thing in there. So bear
with me. That'll be coming up here at eight oh five.
Oh boy, where do I even get it?

Speaker 5 (01:01:14):
Ross?

Speaker 1 (01:01:15):
What's the most expensive piece of work equipment you ever broke?
Do you know? You've got a lot of expensive stuff
around the old radio studio?

Speaker 4 (01:01:25):
Uh?

Speaker 6 (01:01:25):
You know.

Speaker 1 (01:01:26):
I never did the whole breaking the marty thing with
the mask on the band. I don't know. That's like
a coming of age thing for interns back in the day.
I think I have like a like a flawless record
up to this point. I don't work that much anything.
I don't know that I broke it. I was in
a studio one time and then they had a processor

(01:01:47):
in the rack and it got so hot it literally
caught on fire. But but you didn't do that though,
It's not like you did it. Yeah, I mean I
was using the studio at the time. How about I
don't know, fighter jet, you're broke a fighter jet? Not yet? Okay,
because that's what happened on Sunday a two Navy jets

(01:02:09):
collided at an air show. I will say, thankfully all
four of the crew members right, because you had two
per jet, they were able to safely eject. This took
place near Mountain Home Air Force Base, which is in
western Idaho, as part of an air show. Not one
clear of what went wrong, but yeah, boom slammed into
each other. Now you're out two fighter jets. What were they? Growlers?

(01:02:35):
US Navy EA eighteen g growlers. But I mean, if
you went to a show, at least from an audience perspective,
it was super exciting. One of the things, though, I
think is real. They interviewed some people who were there
at the show, and my favorite comment is, what's this
guy's name? Shane Ogden? Who Actually he's If you're seeing

(01:03:00):
of the fighter jets colliding, you're probably watching this dude's video,
he said. As he's filming. He said, yeah, man, I
was just filming and I was thinking, you know, wow,
this is a really interesting stunt. Then I figured out
they actually crashed. So wait a say, so you thought

(01:03:21):
you thought that was a trick, because that's a hell
of an air show trick, because somebody has been to
quite a few air shows, right, Giant fireballs of jets
slamming into each other. But yeah, man, I don't know
if that'd be my first thought, I'd be like, holy crap,
they just collided. This is awful. And then thankfully you'd
see the four parachutes and that was good. Aviation safety

(01:03:41):
expert John Cox, So the pilot's perform an air shows
are among the best. That is true, dude, watching like
the Blue Angels or whatever fly like inches from each
other invert one of them's inverted. I mean, that's crazy
to watch. The show, which is known as the Gunfighter.
Sky's event, was the first of the base since twenty eighteen,

(01:04:05):
when they actually shut it down after a hang lighter tragedy. Yeah, man,
your air show might be a bit cursed. And then
two thousand and three of Thunderbird's aircraft crash while attempting
to maneuver. Thankfully, the pilot not heard in that situation
and was able to steer the plane away from the crowd.
In a check less than a second before it hit
the ground. Ross. This is just because I know it's Monday,

(01:04:27):
we get a little down in the dumps. You know
what next Monday is right one week from DYEA and
well it's a day off. It is a day off.
It is in fact that so we Memorial Day. I
know there's lots of events going around. I'm I'll try
to round up too, and just kind of mention. I've

(01:04:47):
had a lot of people reach out tell me about
their events they're doing, invite me to a few of them. Unfortunately,
I am not going to be available a Memorial Day.
I'll be at the beach, So there's that. But I
will mention some of the events like Kerrie VFW having
a Memorial Day ceremony at Hillcrest Ceremony at Hillcrest Cemetery.

(01:05:11):
There we go, I can say that to veterans community leaders.
Just a bunch of cool stuff going on there. That'll
be at ten am at Hillcrest Cemetery. So public showing
up nine thirty events starts at ten so and so look,
you know because Memorial Day, yeah, people see, Oh it's
the kickoff to summer. There's gonna be a lot of traveling,

(01:05:32):
and that's fine, that's that's great. But by the way,
also remember Memorial Memorial Day is versus Veterans Day. I
say this every year, but it's really important. Memorial Day
is not just the honor. It's not simply the honoring
of everybody who has served that is Veterans Day, but
specifically those who paid the ultimate price. So it is

(01:05:53):
a bit more somber in nature, but a lot of
different ways. And I think it's good too. If you
have kids, right, I know they're gonna be stoked. Three
day weekend, a lot of people will travel. Maybe they'll
do the beach thing too, or go to the mountains
or whatever it is, or just you know, have a
gathering and that's great, right, commiserating with friends and families.
In many cases, maybe you have somebody within your family

(01:06:15):
who didn't come back, whether it was you know, Iraq, Afghanistan, Vietnam,
World War two, whatever it is, and so you can
take an opportunity to really impress on your kids what
that means. So lots lots of ways to skin the cats,
so to speak, and we'll update you on that. Let's

(01:06:36):
see here, all right, let me get into this story
and then I'll explain you by the way, what I
also think is getting left out. So you had the
eight A track and field State Championships, and specifically this
is North Carolina High School Athletic Association and you have
this high school, it's Mallard Creek High Schools is down

(01:06:56):
by Charlotte, and they were set to take home first place,
win the whole thing. Very impressive. Unfortunately, that would not
come to pass as the team was disqualified in the
final race over an unsportsmanlike conduct call. Huge penalty obviously, right,

(01:07:17):
you're dealing with the totality of the track and field team.
Everybody busted their butts out there. They put on some
pretty dominating performances, but now no metal for you. And
so you have people throwing acquisitions of racism around, which
it's not like there's not a cross section of individuals
on the two different teams, but because specifically the conduct

(01:07:42):
in question which got them disqualified, which was an incident
that happened during the final race, you happen to have
a black participant there. So I'm going to reject the
racism side of this, but a lot of people are
saying it's just unfair. The unsportsmanlike conduct in question was
as a as the finish line was being crossed by

(01:08:03):
Nighan Brown, Brown realized, hey, I'm gonna win this whole thing,
and he did. As he's crossed the little finish line,
he kind of put the fist up in the air,
gave a little fist pump, a little point to heavy
kind of thing. It was very very slight, but that
was enough to do it in. And that's the story
most people know. Here's the extra piece of information because

(01:08:26):
people are saying that the the officials are they this
is way overkill? How dare they do this? And they're
they're they're asking state high school athletic officials to intervene.
Does not appear that they're going to do that. The
problem was this particular team was given a warning, and
they were given a warning because they had a much

(01:08:49):
more obvious case of taunting that was committed by this
high school team, this Mallard Creek team in one of
the previous events. And so at that point that and
by the way, that clearly look to be taunting, and
uh officials don't. They don't have a lot of room
for that. It's pretty clear in the rules. You can't
do that now. Was the fist pump in the air

(01:09:11):
a little recognition of hey, I'm winning this thing? Does
that look like taunting all on its own? Not really? Ross?
Did you watch the video or do you see the
freeze frame of this when you're putting the story in.
I don't know, I know, but I got it. I
think I got it from the description though when the
right Yeah, yeah, I think you do. In your mind,

(01:09:33):
you guys are probably envisioning what happened. It reminded me
there was a play of years back, or maybe it
was the last season where like Josh Allen ran for
a touchdown and pointed at somebody. Okay, he pointed like
he did the gut but he did the gud thing. Yeah,
and they were like, yeah, they find him for it. Yeah. Yeah.
The NFL is crazy on this stuff. The difference with
the NFL is they may have find him, but also

(01:09:54):
he he still got he still made a lot of
money on it, right and uh, and the NFL is
the NFL its own thing. Yeah, but I think there
was alway the wrong colored shoes and get fine, but
there maybe I'm wrong, possibly, but I think the game again,
there was like a penalty to like, like a gameplay penalty,
like when it came to yardage or whatever. Okay, all right, uh,
but again this is high school. But I think that

(01:10:17):
that in and of itself is reason enough, even if
everyone thinks it's unfair. If there hadn't have been the
previous much clearer evidence of taunting where the officials went
over the coach, they went over, you know, and and
then the coach communicates with the folks, the the pla
I would keep calling them, want to call them players,
but it's track and fields, so participants is maybe more accurate.

(01:10:41):
If there hadn't been that, then I think you would
have a you'd have a little debate here because you'd
be like, really, just on its own, does that look
like taunting? Is he he didn't like turn around and
fist pump back at the second place runner? That seems
like a much more individual recognition of I get it,
But one, what's you're put on notice over this? And

(01:11:02):
it's fairly clear that the description is any celebration at
the finish line. You're allowed to celebrate by the way
over at the podium, but in the face of other participants,
some of which by the way who have not well,
all of which, by the way, who have not won
because they have not crossed, because you did it right
as you were crossing. I think once you're put on notice,

(01:11:23):
then it's it's an obligation of the coach to go
over and bring all the participants to go, hey, guys,
So that thing that just happened, we can't have that
happen again. So I need you to really pay attention that,
you know, go out there. It's the Marshall Faulk line. Right.
He used to ask Marshall Falk why he didn't do
celebration dances when he scored a TD and if you remember,

(01:11:45):
he scored a lot of tds, and his response was,
I act, he goes. My only thing is, oh, you
act like you've been there before, or some paraphrase thereof.
And I thought that was a really good response. He's
just like, yeah, I act like you've been there before.
Show how dominant you are on the field. But at
that point you go and you do the coach and

(01:12:06):
you tell these kids who are state champion level track
and field participants, you need to be very very clear
that when you crossed the finish line, act like you've
been there before, right, go over, you know, congratulate other racers,
show sportsman sportsman like conduct. You're gonna be over getting
your medal pretty soon, right, You can go ahead and

(01:12:26):
be celebratory there, But at when you're out there and
the race is just finished, you need to make damn
sure that you don't do anything again. And so either
that was communicated and this particular track and field guy
just didn't listen, or it's on the coaches for not
sitting the team down and go, hey, we're unnoticed right now,

(01:12:46):
we got a yellow card, so to speak. So you guys,
really and gals, you really need to make sure this
was men's though. But you need to make sure that
whatever you do, you don't do anything that's gonna basically
be even a my or violation of the rules because
you're on probation. And so however that did or didn't happen,

(01:13:07):
and who it's on, it still all goes back to
the team, either participants not listening or the coach not
communicating it properly. The coaching staff initially fought the decision
to just qualify the team, citing other teams taunting quote
more blatantly, Yeah, I get that argument, and it's not
always fair in sports. We have any discussions have we

(01:13:27):
had where clearly one of the teams is getting away
with something because they probably happened to be the Patriots,
and the other team can't get away with nothing. Brous
How many times have you been frustrated watching the Bills
game where the Bill's secondary keeps getting called for pass
interference whereas Kansas City's or the Patriots don't, and yet

(01:13:48):
you seem to see the same thing sucks right, Unfortunately
part of sports, see the coaching staff is Brown prepared
to cross the finish line to win the four by
four hundred for the Mavericks, that's even tough. Or you're
in a relay man, so you're not just letting your
whole team down. In this case, you're specifically letting the

(01:14:08):
three other players or runners. He held his hand up
in celebration. Track rules are strict and that athletes cannot
celebrate during the race, the officials said. Maller Creek received
a warning for taunting after the three hundred meter hurdles
earlier in the day. A second violation resulted in the
DQ and a bunch of people are not happy. All right. See,

(01:14:33):
you get the gist of it. I don't know that
they're going to overturn anything. I think it's just going
to turn into a teachable moment. But yeah, it does.
It sucks, Sure, it sucks. It looks like for all
practical purposes, Malar Creek was the dominant team here, but
you just got to do that. I'm very curious to
hear from people who may find themselves in a youth

(01:14:54):
coaching position what your perspective is on this, because I
because again I feel like the all was dropped with
either this particular runner choosing not to listen to what
was said or and I think it's more likely. I
don't think that the coaching staff for Mallard Creek after
the first thing probably took it serious. I mean, I
don't want to. I don't know exactly what happened, but

(01:15:15):
it wasn't communicated to the rest of the runners. They
should have been, They should have been scared to do
something like that, and unfortunately we run into the situation.
But yeah, the story's gone national now everybody's got some
thoughts on him. So if you got some thoughts, we'd
love to hear from you. Eight eight eight nine three
four seven eight, seven four. A forty five year old

(01:15:38):
woman is facing fifteen years in prison after police say
they busted up for criminal enterprise. All right, listen to
this ross. They say that Christina Gonzalez was selling let's
see here marijuana, cocaine, land mines, meth amphetamine. Looks like

(01:15:59):
X see more landmines MDMA. Really a whole host of
things to you know, would be drug addicts and landmine enthusiasts. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
what a weird combination. I would feel like if you're
also selling land mines, probably the thing you would least

(01:16:22):
want to also sell to your customers or bouncing Betty,
excuse me, selling drugs, bouncing Betty? Land mines? Also, how
do you acquire those? I got a lot of questions.
But sometimes you ever been to a store where it's
a weird combination of two things that you really don't
think work together? All right? What's going on in here?

(01:16:42):
I mean, sometimes it works. I'll give you an example.
The famous institution down by Kittie Hawk Biscuits. Important, right,
you probably never thought to yourself, Hey, you know, it'd
be really great. Let's see a breakfast biscuit shop which,
by the way is so good, Just so, it's the
perfect thing. If you've been out, maybe had a little
late night, consumed a few too many the night before,

(01:17:05):
you're dealing with that little hangover action. Biscuits important sets
you straight with those biscuits. There's always a long line
in there. But then after you get your breast, your
breakfast biscuits. They also have playboys and stuff there, and
people line up to go to the biscuit's important, So
sometimes it can work. I just don't think drugs and

(01:17:25):
land mines is a good business combination. I feel like
there might be some liability there, but either way, it's
resulting in now fourteen and a half years. Specifically, she'll
probably spend in prison after pleading guilty to attempt a
transportation for sale of narcotic drugs, money laundering, and oh yeah,

(01:17:46):
selling the selling the land mines. Now, it doesn't say
how much you was selling the bouncing Betty land mines for,
but I would have to think those go at a premium.
But again, I don't know if selling that to somebody
who you're also selling meth to is a wise business decision,
if only from a liability standpoint. But you can go

(01:18:09):
ahead and be the judge. All right, eight twenty here
on the CaCO Day Radio program. Let's see speaking of
unrepentant criminals. You are not going to believe who is
said to have apparently reoffended. I do not know how
you would have seen this coming, but we will head
to the streets of Toronto, Canada. Coming up next here

(01:18:31):
on the CaCO Day Radio program. Oh did you so?
There is a little controversy going on. So one of
the things I think is really cool, and I brought
it up on the show a whole bunch is there
is a series out there and they've done it to
quite a few different versions, but it really started with
World War Two and it was an effort to go

(01:18:51):
through and colorize footage from World War Two. And I
think it's fascinating, Right, you got all this footage, some
of you some of it you've seen before, of you know,
what exactly was going on Durer world War Two on
both the European Front and the Pacific Front. And so
you see these videos of you know, the guys celebrating
on top of the mountain of the Rejima, many of

(01:19:14):
the battles, Battle of Midway, you name it, and they
ran a whole series of World War Two in color,
and then they gave the same treatment of some footage
from World War One and then some other productions just
going back to that time. And I don't know somebody
who's watched a lot of these documentaries, it's pretty cool.
So you had a university in partnership with one of

(01:19:35):
the I guess their version of PBS over in France,
who gave the same treatment to a lot of old
reels of French resistance fighters. And let me say this,
I know the French get a lot of grief, and
there's the whole Hey, you surrendered to Hitler and and
you know it's kind of a running joke, so to speak.
But in reality, well, yes, basically the city of Paris

(01:19:59):
was handed over on a so silver platter. The argument
is they did. They just they didn't have the military
wherewithal the resistem at the time, and this preceded Allied
involvement that included the US. But the story of French
resistance fighters is pretty impressive and they were important for
so many reasons, not the least of which is they

(01:20:19):
did all of the mapping ahead of the of the
D Day invasion. So US knowing where the German positions were,
the topography of the beaches, the interior once they got
through there, and how they would have had to proceed through,
you know, through the fields and the hedge rows. The

(01:20:41):
French resistance did a huge, huge part of that. It
was a massive effort in addition to this, sabotaging the
Germans on every front, whether it was from equipment, whether
they sabotaged during the recapturing of Paris, delayed troop movements
to both reinforce Normandy as well as to reinforce other
German positions, eventually pulling away troops because remember they Hitler

(01:21:07):
then had to move troops in two different directions, none
of which was the Russian front. One was to protect
oil down towards Alzerbaijan through Daku and all that, and
the other was to again reinforce what was going on
over at Normany in the French resistance put a monkey
wrench in then. So credit where credit is due. The

(01:21:28):
problem is with all of that said, and when they
colorized it, they really colorized it, and so they had
this old real footage of German resistance fighters and then
they decided, you know what, there's not enough of diversity.
So in the footage you see some of the maybe

(01:21:50):
not the core feature resistance fighters that they're talking about.
And I don't pretend to understand all of it, but
when you have like the large group shops, it's pretty
clear that they made some of the French resistance fighters
people of color, which wasn't the case. That there are
a couple actual resistance fighters that were and that's important,

(01:22:15):
but I don't know, it feels more egregious than let's say,
a Hollywood production where it might be dealing with real
people but they've decided to race swap some stuff. It's
far more damning when it's the actual people. Wait, I say,
you're taking like classic photos of these people and they're
kind of putting video, yeah, video, and putting them in
like black face. Yeah, yeah, they were gotta get that

(01:22:39):
DEI in Manta get. Is that worse though? If it's
if it's not let's say it's Hollywood doing somebody where
they just race swap even though this is the actual
person and well you may not have attached a name
to it. Oh you know. The other thing the French
did is they essentially ran a pow underground railroad not pow,
but so if al if you had an Allied fighter

(01:23:02):
plane or an Allied transport plane or whatever whatever it
was during the Nazi occupation of France, and let's say
that they were shot down by the luffwaffer or whatever.
When that pilot crashed, the French resistance would go in,
they would find the pilot, the down pilot if you survived,
and then they would whisk them away to a for

(01:23:22):
lack of a better word, and underground railroad. They would
they would take behind enemy lines Allied personnel, take them
and hide them and then move them under cover of
darkness to eventually get them so that they can turn
them back over to the Allies. It's all very impressive stuff.
So to go in and just be like, yeah, we wait,

(01:23:43):
need a more dei here. Yeah, you can't really compare
it to like a theatrical release or a film because
these are actually this is like historical photos that you're
being like, oh, well, black people in this photo. I'm
gonna put a black person there black. And if you're
gonna do that, it has to go both ways. You
have to take like old Japanese photos of like the regimen,
so you put a black person in there, or you
gotta go over the Nazi side, you know, yeah, superimposed

(01:24:06):
make you know, make was doing Remember when they were
turning out a bunch of like black Asian Nazis. That's
so messed up. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, So you want
do you want like, look, here's the time the Rednecks
attacked Pearl Harbor. Is that what you're looking for? Right?
And that's probably a bunch of white dude. That's probably right, right,
because they're only going to super impose like the black
people and like you know the quote good side, right, yeah, yeah,

(01:24:28):
like the Allies. So you couldn't do that with the axis.
You you got to go a bunch of good old
boys attacking Pearl harb right. Put a bunch of you know,
Confederate wearing flag warm and you know, white guys next
to Hitler, Like I have a historical photo. Now it happened.
Look look you that ah who doesn't love history? Yeah,
so that's awful, that's awful. We'll see where it goes
from there. But oh man, what are you doing? Speaking of,

(01:24:53):
what are you doing? A Saint pol Man is facing
gross misdemeanor charges after a toddler allegedly retrieved a loaded
handgun from his his own diaper bag during a traffic
stop at Saint Paul and decided he was going to
draw down on police jeez, where the complaint officers watched
as one of the three kids inside the vehicle reached

(01:25:13):
into a Mickey Mouse diaper bag before turning towards an
office or holding a Taurus handgun loaded by the way
six rounds. Kenneth Terry has been charged with child endangerment
involving firearm access and carrying a pistol in public without
a permit. Ross What type of weaponry do you keeping
Lofton's diaper bag? Or is it a rotate or I've

(01:25:36):
been keeping the samurai swords in there? Really? Okay? I
wondered where it went. It's not in the studio, so
so you keep well, how big is this diaper bag?

Speaker 6 (01:25:45):
Now?

Speaker 4 (01:25:45):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (01:25:45):
It's pretty big, is it? Yeah? I feel like the
kids stuff has all gotten really big. They got us
the expensive one here for the for the baby shower.
Yeah yeah. And that stroller, Holy cow, that thing? Man,
I saw a picture. Is that the stroller? You're taking
a walk? I saw you post on social media. Yeah,
you and the boys out were you like joininger or something,
or just strolling around the neighborhood. Yeah, join heer. Yeah, okay,

(01:26:05):
all right, Yeah that's a big, big stroller.

Speaker 2 (01:26:08):
Man.

Speaker 1 (01:26:08):
I wondered what what that got there? So you went,
you went, samurai sort. That's good thinking about that. The
photo you just mentioned, Yeah, did you see the look
on Lofton's face. I'm telling you that baby is ridiculous. Yeah,
that's Ai Man, clearly Ai. You know I was excited
you got a hold of the samurai sort. I'm just imagining.
You know, he's a baby. You know, you're like five
months old and you're just looking around. You're like, look

(01:26:29):
at all these things. One of these trees. Everything's new. Yeah,
these are amazing, you know, I mean, like everything's fun.

Speaker 5 (01:26:35):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:26:35):
Look, I can't imagine because you just don't have a memory.
I can't imagine the first time you saw nature. Yeah
what I mean? You know you've been you've been basically
in a prison cell, right, Why, Yeah, that's gotta be good.
It's gotta be crazy, absolutely not. I mean, it's it's
fun enough because I like to travel. It's fun enough
going somewhere and just seeing something you're just not used to. Well, yeah.

(01:26:57):
I mean that's the thing, like you know, when you
have a kid, you get to start to see everything
new through their eyes. It's an incredible experience. Yeah, yeah,
yeah yeah. The first I tell you the first time
a couple of things. First time you see turquoise blue
Caribbean waters, it's really awesome because you think you've seen
it before, right, you get a little in South Florida there,
but man, you go to like Turks and Caicos, go

(01:27:17):
to the Bahamas, especially some of the southern Bahamas there, Oh,
just gorgeous. But being a kid and seeing everything for
free or for the first time, Holy cow, that's got
to be great. So everyone had a good time. Fun
was had by all on the on the little stroller. Yeah,
oh yeah, that's good. That's good. All I erased agic
from the weather channels standing by. So what's up?

Speaker 4 (01:27:40):
Man?

Speaker 1 (01:27:40):
Oh man, we're you up to? I don't know. I'm
just some guys in trouble because he might keep his
guns and his child's diaper thing. Then the kid might
pull the gun at a traffic stop because he's a toddler.
So just wondering when you're when your kid, children are younger,
what kind of arsenal. Did you keep in the diaper
bag let's see mace.

Speaker 2 (01:28:00):
Or yeah, you know anytime, you know, nothing that's too
lethal anyway enough to keep people away.

Speaker 1 (01:28:06):
But yeah, yeah, Roscoe Samurai swords mostly really hard for
a six month old baby to dual wield. Yeah, you
do that too, unless you get like you gotta get
like a suit that's buffing. So no, we've been working
on the wrist strength. Man. No, we're not going to
be going to kimbo soon. Yep. Yeah, it's it's not easy.
Like in if you want a dual wield and like
di oblo, you gotta have the barbarian and then you

(01:28:27):
get a right thing and it's a little thing man.
So yeah, yeah, that's a lot.

Speaker 2 (01:28:31):
That's a lot, Samurai.

Speaker 1 (01:28:32):
I'm asked of a baby.

Speaker 4 (01:28:33):
It is.

Speaker 1 (01:28:36):
All right, Well today, if you are going to go
for a walk, I want to do it earlier on. Yeah, yeah,
do it early, do it often.

Speaker 2 (01:28:42):
He going to be with us several days tying or
breaking records at least possible next couple of days, as
sunshine is going to stick with us. Not a lot
of change. Late week we may see shower slunder showers.
Actually they become a pretty good chance later to the weekend,
unfortunately into the weekend. So we'll work on that for
cast as the days go by, but at sunshine, maybe

(01:29:02):
a few clouds at times through Wednesday, low to mid nineties,
tryad to the triangle. Hottest temperatures by a couple degrees
will be in the triangle. And then Thursday, Friday and
into the weekend. I'm going to go right now, decent
chances of showers and thunderstorms, probably biased toward the afternoon hours.
So just start thinking about if you had something planned

(01:29:23):
for Memorial Day weekend outside that if you have a storm,
if you have to duck it indoors until the rain ends,
if it ends, have that plan in mind too.

Speaker 1 (01:29:32):
Okay, are you doing anything for a Memorial Day or.

Speaker 2 (01:29:35):
Yeah, Sunday we're going to do something outside by the pool,
but I'll I'm able to have an indoor plan too,
but I might limit the number of people because of
the thunderstorm chance.

Speaker 1 (01:29:45):
I don't cut. Yeah, you'm doing the beach thing, but
I also know there's bars near the beach, so I
mean at the backup, Well there's a bar in the bar,
so right, Yeah, they're at the bar. So I just
walk into the basement and they're hey, look, bar okay,
all right, thanks for the invite. I appreciate that. Must
have got a lot from the mail. So yeah, all right,
we'll talk to you tomorrow, sir. Have a good wordsler,

(01:30:06):
and we'll come back with Bloomberg News next. Kelly Green
joining us from Bloomberg News. How you doing, Denise.

Speaker 9 (01:30:12):
I'm great, and it's great to hear your voice.

Speaker 6 (01:30:14):
And I missed you.

Speaker 1 (01:30:16):
Yeah, well, I know you had the two weeks off,
you know, take care of some family business there, I understand.
But yeah, yeah, you get it back in that morning routine.
That's always fun.

Speaker 9 (01:30:24):
Right, Well, we had a funeral, but it was in
Italy with the burial, so I woke up at like
three in the morning today. Yeah, since some jet legs.
So I actually have been preparing this report for like
six hours.

Speaker 1 (01:30:38):
Oh good.

Speaker 7 (01:30:42):
Yeah.

Speaker 9 (01:30:43):
Astra Zeneca's potential blockbuster blood pressure pill, Backsfendi, has been
approved in the US. This is a new hypertension pill
for those who are having trouble adequately controlling with existing treatments.
Belongs to a whole new class of medicines casey that
works by turning down aldosterone. That's a hormone that helps

(01:31:03):
regulate blood pressure. Estros also testing this amazingly for some
other conditions, including preventing heart failure. This drug, these classes
of drugs just could be huge for millions of patients.
It's being very closely watched. I meantime, FDA approval for
AI design drugs probably isn't that far away. The pharmaceutical
industry using AI to speed up drug discovery. ELI Lilly

(01:31:26):
sen a fee striking licensing deals with these company and
they're trying to potentially become the first company generate biomedicines
is to become get FDA approval for those AI design drugs.
Some job cuts in the retail business. The owner of
the brand Ikia plans to cut hundreds of positions. It's
part of a global restructuring. It's focusing on increasing sales,

(01:31:49):
cutting prices, and boosting foot traffic. Elon Musk says he
wants to get SpaceX IPO underway pretty soon. The billionaire
is back in Texas working on plans for an initial
public offering. SpaceX could file for an IPO as soon
as this week, seeking to raise as much as seventy
five billion dollars. This would be a valuation more than
two trillion dollars. Casey, there's a big bourbon surplus right now.

(01:32:12):
Wall Street Journal says Kentucky is sitting on more than
sixteen million barrels of bourbon amid the downturn in drinking
attributed to factors like more Americans joining the sober curious movement, inflation,
the rise of cannabis, THHC beverages. They're curarently dumping some
of this stuff, which is probably seen as tragic for fans.

(01:32:32):
Stock futures pointing to a lower open after Friday's losses,
Crude oil futures jumping because those grown drones targeted that
nuclear power plant in the UAE, and President Trump boarding
Iron the clock is ticking. There is some talk though
that the US could ease sanctions on Iran temporarily as
they kind of try.

Speaker 1 (01:32:49):
To get a deal.

Speaker 9 (01:32:50):
Bitquin plunging this morning, and everybody's watching the FED to
see if they really have control of interest rates, which
could just kind of rise on their own if inflation continued.
And Casey, acupuncture is a booming business for pets. Wall
Street Journal says medical community is divided, and so are
the animals you can imagine, but proponents claim they're amazing

(01:33:11):
benefits to being poked with needles, with some saying that
the acupuncture treatments, which can cost about five hundred dollars
an hour, even kind of gave their pet a sort
of puppy or a kitten like walk. And you're talking
about treating animals that are some twenty years old.

Speaker 1 (01:33:28):
I don't know.

Speaker 9 (01:33:28):
Maybe they can treat the pet owners and the pets
together and charge one thousand dollars an hour.

Speaker 1 (01:33:34):
Have a body. I was out. It's just so weird. Yeah, yeah,
all right, Well what party Italy were you in?

Speaker 9 (01:33:42):
You know, Tuscany outside of Farns, where some relatives are
so beautiful.

Speaker 1 (01:33:47):
They're just good food.

Speaker 9 (01:33:49):
Everything, every meal more amazing than or last. Thanks to
the generosity of my stepmom. We just I gained like
twenty five pounds and I'm as happy as I could
possibly be.

Speaker 1 (01:34:00):
Okay, worth it.

Speaker 9 (01:34:02):
Oh so I don't have to walk anymore. I can
just kind of roll wherever.

Speaker 5 (01:34:05):
I guess.

Speaker 1 (01:34:05):
Right, Well, glad to have you back and get some rest.
Get back in the schedule. We'll talk tomorrow. Okay, all right,
there you go. Denise Pelogrenny from Bloomberg News. Hope you
made it to the olive garden. Never know? All right,
check this out. I wish there was more video of this.
A massive swarm of bees overtook the White House ground,

(01:34:26):
specifically in an area called Pebble Beach. You ever see
where they have all like the green tents set up
in a row, which is where all the camera crews
are so you can do the stand up shots. Right,
It's all right in a row. Mare there as you're
coming up the driveway. However, for about twenty minutes the
area was unaccessible after the media folk had to take
cover after a swarm of bees. And when you see

(01:34:49):
them all clustered up on one of the trees, it's
the size of like a big beach ball. It's all
the bees. My question is, Ross, do you think Trump
has a bee tornado button? Because that'll be amazing, right.
Can you imagine to sitting in the Oval office and
it's right probably right next to the dyke coke button,
and you're just like, all right, release the bees, and
then you just stare out the window and watch them

(01:35:09):
just ransack the press. Cort No, I would hope that's
part of the ballroom's defense system, right yeah, man yeah.
If you're President of the United States, you gotta have
a Bee Tornado button.
