Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Sure, it'll be another crazy week. Trump's already teeing off
on some stuff which, uh everyone's gonna argue about, so
you know, serve that up on a platter. Uh. The
football thing's a little weird. I I understand the frustration.
Uh we'll see, we'll see where that goes. I I

(00:20):
it's it's more classic Trump than that week he had
with all the Epstein stuff, which I don't know if
it hurt him too much.

Speaker 2 (00:28):
But.

Speaker 1 (00:30):
Leave it to the Democrats to snatch defeat from the
jaws of victory just being insane about it, like all
you gotta do is Uh, it's it's the art of
war stuff, right, what's one of the rules that well,
actually it's a it's a I believe it was Genghis
Khan who and I I and then some people attribute
it to art of war. But basically it's don't interrupt

(00:53):
your enemy when they're making mistakes. And that's a pretty good, Uh,
that's a pretty good analysis of it. Because rather than
just letting Trump figure it out with his base and
over the Epstein stuff and more so the dismissive nature
of his comments, they just couldn't help themselves. And I

(01:14):
looked at more polling that came out over the weekend.
Believe you know, believe it as far as you're willing
to believe it. But it's not hurting the dude so
specifically in polls where they also poll about people's attitude
of his opposition. Man. So AnyWho, the Redskins thing is

(01:37):
classic Trump, like maybe he means it, but maybe he's
just doing it so you all talk about it, and
not an afford y chess way. Just it's an issue
that he knows is not going to be controversial to
his base. It's a little bit in the sense that, look,
I understand that what the Democrats pulled off there is
they got a small group of offended leftist Native Americans

(02:02):
to file a lawsuit to come to come to DC
to do a protest. But when they actually polled, they
did polling, especially out where I'm from, they literally pulled
Crow and Shoshone and a couple of the tribes out
in Wyoming. The Casper Star Tribune I think, did the polling,
and they don't care. Most of them didn't care, didn't

(02:26):
really have strong thoughts one way or the other. So
if you don't know, Trump's basically the narrative is Trump's
holding up the stadium deal because it's within the district
of the Redskins because he wants them to change the
name from Commanders back to Redskins. So there you go.
That built you on that all week, and you'll go

(02:48):
back to the classic outrage thing and so anyway, that
feels more familiar than whatever. All of the offhanded comments
I guess the last two weeks were. So we'll watch Washington,
d C. Absolutely implode over that. So you know, just
you don't have to I'm not even claimed to be

(03:08):
psychic to let you know that that's going to be
happening AnyWho. All right, eight eight eight nine three four
seven eight seven four. That'll get you on the show
if one of these stories moves you to wanting to
comment on it. Sorry, my word is again acting weird
this morning. I don't know why that is. All right,

(03:30):
there we go. Let's see. So over the weekend British
Open and now by Sunday it wasn't much although golf
things can go sideways quick, but it was pretty clear
that the twenty dollars that I may or may not
have put on Scottie Scheffler at plus six hundred. You

(03:50):
did it a little over a week ago. You got
plus six hundred was a fine investment on my part.
The twenty I also put on Rory. I had to eat,
but in the end it works out hypothetically had I
sports gambled on it. So it was it was fun
to watch yesterday. Man h And I'm trying to kid,

(04:14):
I want to What I want to do is I
want to I want to talk about people's reaction to
Scottie Scheffler winning. I mean, obviously, you know made me
happy for all the reasons I just explained to you
that one. But I also like Scotti. Scheffer's a really
good golfer man. And by the way, I know that
there's this Scottie Scheffler versus Rory thing, and I'll play

(04:35):
into it in tweets. Sometimes I'm fine with Rory. I know,
I know people are a little uh, they bag on
the dude, but he's a really good golfer man, and
so you know, I'm cool with that. I'm assuming most
people are cool with that. But it is fun to
have a little bit of rivalry there that doesn't feel
as nasty as what you have in the w n B.

(04:56):
A man which we'll talk about that as well, because
there's just so much irony with that story. If you didn't,
I'm sure you guys, you had to choose, like you
you either was from a sports standpoint, it was either
British Open weekend or w NBA All Star weekend. And
I feel like the British Opens ratings will probably be

(05:20):
a little better. But the ladies did want to take
advantage of the higher profile nature of the All Star
and uh, let's just say it. Uh it was a
little weird man, and and deeply ironic considering what's going
on now, Ross, I know you're did you go w
NBA or British Open or neither? What was? What did

(05:43):
you know? I went neither? Okay, all right, I don't
know if you had a big w NBA party the
All Star party and didn't call that way.

Speaker 3 (05:50):
Are you telling me that there's a w NBA All
Star game? Yes, that's crazy.

Speaker 1 (05:55):
Why Well, there's just mathematically there has to be a
group of players that's better than the other layers, right right,
I mean yeah, so yeah you can hold an All
Star with that. I mean, good for them, it's great.
Now I wanna people are bagging on Scottis show. And
I mean this as a compliment. I really do Scotti
show watching Scottie Scheffler do and and had never really

(06:18):
watched all of his posts because he's one, he's one
four majors.

Speaker 3 (06:22):
Now is this being a golf outsider? Is this the criminal?
This is the criminal?

Speaker 1 (06:26):
Right? This is the Yeah, this is the guy who
had the mugs yet, which is what makes this so funny. Oh,
by the way, everybody universally says that Scotty Scheffler is
an incredibly nice guy. Okay, and and and that's his peers,
but he's also somebody who has not a minute for
the the the latching on to the superstar. This is

(06:48):
what Scotty Scheffler wants to do. He wants to go
be the best. He's currently the best golfer in the world.
He wants to go be the best golfer in the world.
But every but but then, the moment the golf's done,
he wants to go be with his family. He's also
a man of faith and and that's his thing, and
and he does everything that he needs to do and

(07:11):
excels at a very high level. But the moment it's done,
it's not in his brain. It's just family, faith. Uh.
Whatever hobbies he may have, which he doesn't even talk about,
is that that's his. That's separate. And people are interpreting
it as him not appreciating golf and and I it
couldn't be further from the truth. It is the way

(07:34):
that I read it. Oh, you know, I was gonna
text my buddy uh who uh pg who is literally
a PGA card and asked him his thoughts, because well,
you guys know Chess and Hadley, he's a local golfer.
He's also a man of faith, and uh and and
and so I I have a I have a feeling

(07:55):
he'd have some insight on this. But good for this dude.
And I know you're a big Lee Trevino fan, but
in the same way you can be a Jim Kelly
and a Jared Allen fan. I would encourage you to
start having Scottie Scheffler as the guy you're root for
it even though you don't watch, because there's nothing wrong
with this. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (08:13):
So I just loaded the audio the first I've seen it,
and I wouldn't even be able to pick this guy
out in a lineup. You know, my life depended on it.

Speaker 1 (08:19):
And not that he was in a lineup or right right.

Speaker 3 (08:22):
Yeah, So you're saying people are having an issue with
this guy.

Speaker 1 (08:26):
They're having an issue with this guy because he's not
up there. Woo woo, let's go. You know, I'm gonna
go get blasted at the bar later, which is you
know a lot of times the British Open winners do that. Hell,
if you go to Pinehurst, there is there's a couple
famous doorways. Golfers know what I'm talking about based on
post major win celebrations. So no, this is him and Scheffler.

(08:51):
He's talked a little about this. So he's twenty nine,
but when he first came on the tour, he let
golf consume him and he has spoken about how he
had to go and he had to kind of reinvent
himself and he decided that golf is what he does
for a living and he will do what he you know,
to what it takes to be the best in the world,

(09:11):
because he wants to be good at everything that he.

Speaker 3 (09:13):
I mean, that sounds like it's really smart, right, He's
adding balance to his life and correct, you have these
people that are just like so obsessed with one thing
and then they have no balance and everything else falls
at a whack right, And.

Speaker 1 (09:24):
When he made that change, he is now he went
from a good golfer to the best in the world.

Speaker 3 (09:29):
I mean, you see this with like world class championship
chess all the time, where you have these people where
like it's their entire life, like their entire exists, it's
twenty four to seven, and they go insane. They go crazy.
There's like a history of like chess champions going nuts,
and it's for a reason they have no balance.

Speaker 1 (09:43):
Yeah. So Scotty when he's on the course, he's not
rude to people, but he doesn't interact. He is one
hundred percent when he walks, he walks looking at the
ground right up there. He doesn't say anything. He's totally
consumed in the moment being the best at what he does.
And then the moment he won there was he never

(10:05):
shows emotion. But he had the putt on eighteen, so
he he he he's on the green in two, it's
a it's a par four. He two putts for par
but he could have five, six putted six putted. No,
he could have five putted and still won. And he
ends up getting the par right, just you know, just normal.
He cracked a smile and the announcers even noticed that

(10:27):
just for a moment, because he's he got that he's
gonna win the British Open. He knows it, right, I
could have made I could have I could have made it.
I could have putted out in five.

Speaker 3 (10:35):
I think these these people are just looking for some
to be pissed off about. That's all, yes, yes, And
they can't believe that somebody isn't as obsessed about this
thing that they are. And he's doing better, he's not
doing it.

Speaker 1 (10:47):
He's doing best. He's doing best and it's not even close.
And so but but then he knows what he's got
to do, and his wife's there. That've got a kid
who looks like they're about I don't know, maybe one
and a half. And first he does before he grabs,
even when he's got the wannamaker, he just wants to
hold his kid, the or the not the one to
make when he's got the trophy, he just wants to

(11:08):
hold his kid. And you know, his wife's there. And
the whole time he's walking to scoring tent, he's not
talking to other golfers or fans he's talking to his wife,
and he's taught, and he's holding his kid and and
he's but he has to do a certain series of things,
right because Sky News broadcasts it. So he has whoever
the winner is, that's already set up. They have to

(11:30):
go over and they got to talk to whoever their
sideline lady is there, And like, I want you to
hear some of this interview, Okay, because he does everything
that he has to do. He's pleasant, he says the
right things, but it's clear all he wants to do
is go turn his scorecard in, do the things that
he has to do as part of his job, and

(11:51):
he will do them at a high level, and then
he just wants to go home and be with his family. Right.
He's from New Jersey. He lives in Texas now and
and Jordan Speith, who also lives in Texas, talked about
I think people misinterpreted with Speth was sane, but like,
listening to this.

Speaker 4 (12:06):
Dude, how special and unique is this week for you?

Speaker 1 (12:09):
Yeah?

Speaker 5 (12:09):
It's pretty fun.

Speaker 6 (12:09):
I Mean I grew up waking up early to watch
this turn on TV, just hoping and dreaming I would
get the chance to come play in this championship, and
you know, it's it's pretty cool to be sitting here
with the trophy.

Speaker 1 (12:18):
It's it's hard to.

Speaker 4 (12:19):
Put into words argue, but your greatest strength is probably
your mental strength. The calmness and composed you have out
on the golf course. We all want to know, how
do you do it?

Speaker 3 (12:27):
How do you manage it? What is that secret?

Speaker 1 (12:29):
Yeah?

Speaker 6 (12:29):
I don't really know. You know, I felt I felt
a good amount of peace today. I felt very in
control of how I was playing.

Speaker 1 (12:35):
I was very.

Speaker 6 (12:36):
Comfortable with my game, and you know, Teddy did a
really good job of keep me in a good headspace
all day. Even after the little hiccup there on the
eighth hole. You know, we bounced back really quick with
a birdie on nine and kind of got things back
in gear pretty quick.

Speaker 1 (12:46):
And you know it, I mean, really, every.

Speaker 6 (12:49):
Day's a battle playing this game. Is it's a battle
within yourself all the time to try and get the
most out of your game and yourself. And uh, you know,
this week I did a really good job of kind
of hanging in there mentally, and you know, playing some
good golf.

Speaker 4 (13:00):
What gives you that piece, what gives you that perspective?

Speaker 6 (13:02):
Yeah, I'm not really sure, you know. Out here, you know,
I feel like I'm called to compete as best I can,
and you know what, I'm inside the ropes. That's what
I'm trying to do. I'm trying to compete and do
the best I can, and I don't really think about
too much outside of that when we're.

Speaker 1 (13:15):
Inside the ropes.

Speaker 4 (13:16):
Clark jug the Open Championship, Leg three of the career
Grand Slam. Can you quite believe that at twenty nine
years of age?

Speaker 6 (13:21):
Yes, you know, Like I said, it's hard to put
into words, and you know, I just just really received
the trophy and the tournament just ended, So it'll take
a little while for this to sink in, but right
now it's a pretty cool feeling.

Speaker 7 (13:32):
Just finally for these fans.

Speaker 4 (13:33):
You said you haven't had a chance to sample the
town as yet.

Speaker 7 (13:36):
Will that change later?

Speaker 4 (13:37):
Maybe a trip in support Russian if you're hours time.

Speaker 1 (13:39):
Yeah, I think I'm gonna be heading back home.

Speaker 6 (13:41):
We did get out for breakfast each day, but outside
that we'll be heading, you know, heading back home.

Speaker 3 (13:46):
There you go, I like this guy, dude, this is you,
this is you, And you know a lot of times
people confuse like there might even be a part of
him that's introverted, right, And people confuse like introverted people
as being like smug or not wanting to be here,
and it's not this guy. There's nothing wrong with this dude.
This guy's a good do.

Speaker 1 (14:05):
No this yeah, even when he's talking, because like golfers
are legendary. I told you when I've played a couple
of pro ams over it for the PGA Senior events,
that's over and carry and uh in both instances listening
to these guys talk about the you know what they
used to do on the tour where they get up
to go to their tea time and there's still ice
in the drinks, right because they're just party, party, party man.

(14:26):
And that's fine if that if that's what you want
to do. I h I don't know that you can
do that in golf anymore. Tiger really changed things. That's
why these guys got all fit. But that's it. So
even when he's going out, what does he go. He
takes his wife and is his his kid out, They
go get breakfast and then he goes to work.

Speaker 3 (14:41):
This guy though he also I feel like he's sort
of like hul Kogan in a way where like he's
only twenty nine, but he looks like he's like fifty
at least in the in the interview, like yeah, it
is like gotta do old that dude isn't thirty.

Speaker 1 (14:52):
Yeah. The difference is I don't think he's juicing, so
I don't believe that to be the case. So he
just he's just a really easy just really he's killing
it man, And I've and I have a I have
a suspicion that he is. He's he's content. I know
I'm kind of reading into this, but he's he strikes me,
he's just very content. He doesn't have to go run

(15:13):
through thirty waffle house waitresses or whatever. You know, you're
not gonna it would if that scandal were to emerge
for him, that would be the most surprising thing because
I just don't think it's there. So, you know, congrats
to him, uh for that hand. By the way, he
has and he's had two green jackets, so I know
that at least that part excites you about.

Speaker 3 (15:34):
I know that's what at all garden, right, So only
around AUGUSTA got to clarifying.

Speaker 1 (15:40):
Yeah, well you know he's down there once a year
as a former champion, So there you go. Uh so, no,
it was very enjoyable. Yeah, it's a port Rush is
a very difficult course. The the Brits clearly wanted Rory
to win. I get it. That's where he that's where
he won previously. But yeah, and it's but like American

(16:00):
and by the way, the Americans finished one two three.
H actually it was like six in the top ten,
but we went one two three. So I feel like
we should reverse colonize Britain while we're there, just they
would not see it coming. And they're zero and two
against us. So there's that, all right, six twenty three.
Hang on. So I was talking a little about the
British Open there and Scotti shuffer the guy who won. Yeah,

(16:23):
I just I don't understand. I understand that people if
they have somebody they're root for and another person wins,
and they're in the spirit of having fun and making
jokes and what like the amount of crap that I
give Patriots fans on this show. But like, I like,
it doesn't mean I hate Patriots fans, just people would

(16:43):
cheat at football. That being said, like, it was just
so weird watching the reaction and it was on two fronts.
One was like, this blogger is like, he's not a
good ambassador for the sport. I don't know. I feel
like if you want to be an ambassador for the sport,
being really good at it so people tune in is
pretty helpful. That's a good way to be an ambassador

(17:05):
for the sport. He's also not the first athlete to
not want to do interviews and stuff. And in fact,
famously remember Richard Sherman, the Seahawks player. Dude, that thing
was that was so fun to watch Richard Sherman because
he clearly hated to do the interviews and he just
he'd sit there and stare and they I believe they
had to invoke a contractual item, and because he spoke

(17:27):
about it during the interviews, and and and and and
that was the but he wasn't nasty about it. It
was really interesting to watch. And so but Scheffler doesn't
do that. He goes and does what he has to do.
And then the other front was, uh, you heard in
the audio where he says, I'm called to play golf,
and for people of faith, they understand that the usage

(17:49):
of that language right, I'm called to do this. He
makes no bones about the fact that he's you know,
he's a Christian and and that that really guides him.
I don't know if that was if that was part
of the tree transition from early Scottie Scheffler to now
the best in the world. Maybe it was, Maybe it wasn't.
I don't know the timing of it. But and so
then they were hacking on him for that. I'm like, well,

(18:11):
but how is that impacting you in any way, shape
or form. What do you care what this guy does
other than what I expect him to do and anyone else.
I tune in to maintain his card at a level
and then go out and and put on a good show.
And he did that on one of the hardest courses
setups that they'll play in a year they open the

(18:32):
Open setups, both the British and the US are arguably
the hardest setups that these golfers will face every year.
I would even harder than the Masters. Yes, but the
Masters is something different, right, It's it's a different it's
its own thing, quite literally, it's its own thing. It's

(18:55):
the only tournament that doesn't move well. There's you know,
in the sense there's a sub major that does uh
that doesn't move. But it's the only it's the only
major tournament that doesn't move. So it's always it's always
going to be Augusta. But for the Championship or the
US or the uh that's that moves. And so you

(19:17):
can a little slice there, and the and they and
they they intentionally select hard courses. When Pinehurst number two
is a major championship course, it is ungodly. It is
so hard. And I've had I've had the privilege of
playing in the way. There's a media tournament that happens
prior to the actual Open or whatever major's down there,

(19:39):
and uh me and Brian the bad boardoff went and
played and it's not quite at the speed and everything
they're gonna have it for them, but it's pretty close,
and you almost there's a point where I'm like, I
think I've done golfing for the day. That's how hard
this is. So for him to go carve up, especially
a course where weather is such a factor. U because

(20:00):
you're on the very northern coast of North Ireland, Northern
Ireland there. If you ever been to Giants Causeway as
a tourist, you're like just down the road from this,
and one minute, it's just blowing twenty miles an hour
from one direction, and then like ten minutes later it's
like the rain that they were playing in a little
bit yesterday and Saturday was punishing, but there wasn't lightning,

(20:24):
and if there's not lightning, these guys play. So yeah,
those are where I saw the That's where I saw really, like,
I don't understand the hatred there, so good good for
him man, and I just I want to take a
moment to on this show point that out because it
clearly wasn't fair what was coming down the pipe there
and the ambassador things stupid. But I understand the other

(20:48):
people who just want to trash on people because they
have something else in their life that they don't agree with.
But whatever, I did enjoy watching the bat try to
eat the announcers though, that was on you guys miss this,
So if you were, if you were streaming it on
Peacock and I Peacock and I think the earlier when

(21:10):
it was airing on USA, uh, you you might have
been treated to this. But a bat got into the
broadcast booth for the NBC broadcasters sky News did the
main broadcast? Does the British make US watch THEIRS when
arguably Jim Nansen crew calling the British Open would be amazing.
Right when I listened to golf, I want to hear
Jim Nansen his peeps. Nothing against Jim Doherty's the Sky

(21:33):
news guy who does stuff in the US two. But
it's it's arguably just better. And frankly, if we're going
to go clean up and take their voice to the woodshed,
then maybe they should let us pick the announcer. But
the bat thing was amazing. All right, So check this out,
all right? Which one? Which one should I play? Ross?

(21:54):
I just realized that there's two of them on.

Speaker 3 (21:56):
Yeah, the first one was the one that they actually aired.
The second one is is a little bit more interesting,
and it's, uh what they what they tried to hide. Oh,
I don't know if you've heard the second one.

Speaker 1 (22:06):
No I have not. All right, well, maybe we should
start with the second one to go exclusive.

Speaker 3 (22:11):
I would play the first one and then you'll understand
how much they took out of it.

Speaker 1 (22:15):
Oh okay, I didn't realize. Okay was the air and one
was supposed to air? Oh yeah, all right, yeah, all right,
all right, So here here we.

Speaker 8 (22:23):
Go, just around the golf course. Speaking of scattering, this
is going on in our booth a moment ago. Apparently
a bat of some sort is fire. Kevin Kissner, he's
this is a man who is a proud hunter. He's
out there, he's under his jacket.

Speaker 1 (22:38):
He is spooked.

Speaker 7 (22:39):
But this bat.

Speaker 8 (22:40):
Dan Hicks trying to keep it away from him. This
is you never know what you're gonna get in a
major championship.

Speaker 1 (22:45):
You're on the air for eight nine hours.

Speaker 8 (22:47):
Apparently Facts and Terry on the other side were just
fine and calm. However, Kids has taken cover under his
sport coat.

Speaker 1 (22:55):
And you want to you want to really see who
the people around you are. Let a bat flight through
an enclosed space where you're at.

Speaker 3 (23:02):
We had one in the house once. It was crazy.
It was so much fun.

Speaker 1 (23:06):
I told you we had one in the radio station
when I was in Minneapoli or Minnesota. It literally came
out of one of the ceiling panels in the radio station.

Speaker 3 (23:14):
Is the story you told me about where the sales
are up? Like got on top of her la.

Speaker 1 (23:17):
Because she was she was on top of her desk
and I just let her name was Robin. I'll call
her out because she was. She was also not very
nice to me, so yeah, so she literally because it flies.
It came out in the hallway by where one of
our rows of studios were, and then there's a pastor
room where the copier and everything is, and then it
goes into the sales pit, right they're all in cubes,

(23:40):
and so it busted out of there when our engineer
was literally running conduit or something up there, and he
didn't even care. It was just like, oh look, it
was it bad. He just kept working and it comes
out and then all of a sudden, I'm over on
the programming, said, I hear a woman screaming from the
sales area and I'm outside of my studio. So I
got to do is walk around a corner and right

(24:01):
through that passageway and I walk in there and they
are freaking out, and I see Robin, our sales lady,
standing on her desk, and then one of the other
sellers like, dude, there's a bat in here. There's a bat.
And I just looked at Robin and I'm like, I
just started laughing. And she's standing on her desk even
though the things like flew by her again. And so
then I walked back out. I grabbed a broom and

(24:25):
another guy grabbed a box, and we kind of pinned
the bat because he's flying all around, but I got
a whack on him, kind of pinned him there, drops down,
literally put him in the box, took him outside, set
the boxer. Like a minute later he came to and
he just flew away. I mean getting on top of
the desk when there's a bat flying, right, dude, brain
is just malfunctioning. Just get under the desk would be understandable.

(24:46):
But what do you do for Like they never let
her forget it too. People would make jokes, Oh my gosh, Rober,
there's a bat, get on top of it.

Speaker 3 (24:54):
The first time I saw a bat, I think was
like car when it had to be like twenty five
hundred years ago or something, Okay roughly, and uh man,
it's been you know, it's been. Something didn't inspire you
to go become a superhero, it did?

Speaker 1 (25:08):
Okay, good, good? All right? So this is we have
the unedited alrighty, so hold on, all right, so check
this out, all right, So here is I guess apparently
this is what they're trying to hide from you. Okay,
all right, now, I'm nervous because you know, sometimes sometimes
you label things some way. What all right, all right,

(25:28):
I'll trust you. All right.

Speaker 8 (25:29):
Here we go around the golf course, speak of scattering.
This is going on in our booth. I'm moping ago.
Apparently a bat of some sort. It's a fire Kevin Kissner's.
This is a man who is a proud hunter. He's out,
he's under his jacket.

Speaker 1 (25:46):
He is spooked.

Speaker 7 (25:47):
But this bat, Dan Hicks trying to keep.

Speaker 8 (25:50):
It away from him. This is you never know what
you're gonna get in a major championship. You're on the
here for eight nine hours. Apparently facts Terry on the
other side were just fine and calm over. Kiss has
taken cover under his sport code.

Speaker 1 (26:04):
Man, that is something. Huh, yeah, it's weird. I had
not seen that, and I consumed a lot of Yeah,
I consumed a lot of media around the British Open,
and I just I had not seen that.

Speaker 3 (26:15):
He didn't wonder why afterwards? Whe think I had like
a black eye? Mm hmm, you didn't even un Kissner
And uh, I can't remember the other guy's name, Dan Hicks.

Speaker 1 (26:25):
You think that they might be uh criminals or something
in Gotham. I don't know. Now, To be fair, bats
all are also a good way to get rabies, So
there's that. Yeah, they're also they're like way too into you.

Speaker 3 (26:41):
Right, it's important to point out also they were the
you know, they caused COVID.

Speaker 1 (26:47):
Yeah, you know what I mean, hooked over that penguin
and they went to the web, right, yeah, I remember, yeah, yeah,
so totally that. So, like I understand where you don't
want to get cuddly with one, but it's separate. It's
the men for the boys, That's all I'm saying, all right,
eight eight eight nine three fourths seven eight seven four

(27:07):
back in just a few It was under the impression
Canada didn't need us ross that's your impression, right, judging
by some of the stuff that the Prime Minister has
set up there.

Speaker 3 (27:18):
And the beef with Trump, you know, it sounds like
we need them, right.

Speaker 1 (27:21):
Yeah, well that's that's what I'm told. So Yet the
moment somebody hijacks the plane in in Vancouver, which isn't
far from the US border but is still in Canada,
which by the way, has a Royal Air Force base there.
Believe they do have they have an air force yet

(27:41):
who do you think's got to scramble fighter jets and
go keep an eye on that plane US. That's right,
American fighter jets scrambled towards the Vancouver airport on Tuesday
after a small plane was hijacked. It was a it
was like a Cessna one seven. It was a one
seventy two. Okay, so you know, like a very mid

(28:04):
range popular personal aircraft there that somebody I guess decided
that they were gonna they were gonna steal and then
fly in circles around the Vancouver airport again, all the
way in Canada. And yeah, so we sent some F
fifteen's while they were scramped. What were the Canadians doing?
Arguably they were much closer. I'm assuming the fat or

(28:25):
the F fifteen's came out of I can't remember the
base in Washington there. I'm assuming that's probably where they
came out of. I used to know the name hold On,
hold On, just not that this was any material impact
on your life, but of course base Washington State. Yeah, McCord,

(28:49):
that's what it is. Yeah, yeah, yeah, so McCord. Yeah,
So like what I don't understand. I don't understand how
we get there, faster when they literally have a h.
McCord is down by Tacoma, just so we're clear, So
it's actually even further south than Seattle. So somehow we
were able to get F fifteen's from basically the bottom
of the inlet there south of Seattle to Vancouver before

(29:12):
they could scramble literally in Vancouver, is it ross? Is
the syrup harvest going on? I don't know what Canadians
do all day? Is it surruh harvesting season? I'm unclear.
Maybe they were doing that because I think everyone in
Canada has to pitch him, so I don't know, but yeah,
sure enough, it didn't turn into a thing. But yeah,

(29:34):
we were there once it was confirmed the aircraftured landed.
Nor had response. It was to stand down. So this
is just from Canadian nor Rad Division, which, by the way,
this is the other thing that's so funny when you
really talk about people don't realize how intertwined Canada and
the US are. For when it comes to kind of

(29:55):
the Northern Shield stuff, like, we have a lot of
instrumentation that is on Canadian soil that's up there that
we utilize basically, you know, so somebody doesn't come over
the polls, you can get us a lot of the
states back to Russia, and so there's there's so much
joint stuff and when it does hit the fan, all
of this disappears. It all disappears.

Speaker 2 (30:16):
Man.

Speaker 1 (30:18):
And that McCord Air base, I believe they have Canadians
on it, because it's if somebody can correct me if
I'm wrong, I seem to remember that being the description
of it where you would have literally would host troops
from some of our partner nations. So it doesn't make sense. Yeah,
so here he is, Lewis McCord is what it's called. Oh,

(30:41):
I think this is the base. Also where what was
the officer and a gentleman set? Maybe I'm wrong, but yeah,
I'm probably wrong on that. Canadians F eighteens are primarily
based at Air Force Base Cold Lake in northern Alberta.
However they do have they do have some down their side. Yeah. Yeah,
that's weird. Okay, so they were scrambling, Okay, so maybe

(31:03):
that base doesn't have fighters in Vancouver. That's weird, man,
that's weird because like that's you know, it's the Canada's
largest city on one of their coasts and uh, you
know that's why we put or we put bases in
the US and also in Canada. But you know they
everything the south is covered by US. UH, please say that.

Speaker 9 (31:23):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (31:23):
They received a report the small plane had been hijacked
and was on its way to Vancouver.

Speaker 5 (31:29):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (31:30):
The incident forced the temporary closure of the airspace over
the Vancouver International Airport.

Speaker 9 (31:35):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (31:36):
Delaine departures where you got a YadA? Ohough if you're
flying on Air Alaska to Alaska airlines, I don't know
if you're going anywhere today? They how do these airlines
keep having system wide failures of their software? I understand
that they always Oh, it's so old you guys are
you guys are printing money right now? Have you seen
the earnings for the US based carriers they're doing? Okay?
How are you not able to not? I? I know

(31:58):
we complain about ours, I swear, but like if something
goes down, like we have a work around. There's no
work around here. They just ground all the aircraft. Whole
thing is strange, man, But I think some people were
thinking that they had something to do with this incident
and it wasn't. Their software just sucks, so not connected
all right? Coming up on the show. Yes, of course,

(32:21):
you remember a former professional football player turned soldier turned
kia Pat Tillman, right, and that story, Well, the Tilman
family's back in the news in this case Pat Tillman's
brother and an absolutely insane incident that happened in California,

(32:43):
San Jose specifically, which this guy's probably gonna go to
jail for a long time. And I have not seen it. Ross.
Have you seen a motive on this thing with Tilman. No,
I've been looking. No, I have not seen a motive.
So I don't know what's I don't know if it's
a mental health if there's some he's got beef.

Speaker 3 (33:03):
I mean sounds like a mental health issue, doesn't it.

Speaker 1 (33:06):
Yeah, all right, I still don't know the motive. But
let's go ahead and share this with you to kick
the hour off. The brother of former NFL player and
US Army ranger Pat Tillman. Who what a crazy story
that was just in and of itself. Here's a guy
who's just killing it. He's in the NFL, he's making
the big money, and yet he felt that he could

(33:28):
do more and was excelling as part of this ranger unit.
Sadly killed in a friendly fire incident. But I was
willing to literally go put it all on the line
over there in the Middle East, and his brother at
his forty four year old Richard Tillman now in the

(33:49):
news and it's not for good stuff. So this happened
around three am yesterday morning, so early, very early Sunday morning.
A let me just read from the report here. The
suspect arrested, forty four, your Richard Tillman. Authorities alleged that
Richard intentionally reversed a vehicle in the lobby of a

(34:11):
post office in San Jose, so south of the Bay there,
and then got out of the vehicle and arsoned the
whole thing and it's gone. It's a total loss, according
to the US Postal Service. Oh, he did do something else.

(34:34):
He also spray painted Viva la me and which just
means long live me, which is weird because he went
with the English me instead of the spam but whatever. Yeah,
so he went with the Spanish Viva lah and then me,
so long live me, which is an interesting thing to

(34:57):
spray paint. Usually when you hear viva you know, viva revolution,
or viva you know whatever, Viva las Vegas. I guess
if you want to go there, but it just means
long live and he says long live me. So I
don't know what's going on, man, I don't I don't
like Yeah, I guess maybe I just maybe he's got

(35:18):
postal beef. I don't know, maybe maybe something. Maybe it's
he was waiting for a check it hasn't showed up,
and then give him the run around. I have no
idea what inspired this, but it's probably not gonna go
well for him. Uh, CBS News as they reached out
to Mary Tilman, the mother of both Pat and Richard.
I'm sure she wants to talk to you as as

(35:41):
you because I remember you also, you have two craps
about any of that until Pat died and then uh,
they decided to try to use him as a political
football as as it pertains to the war, that was
pretty gross. I'm sure she doesn't want to talk to you,
so I'm not surprised. Tillman scheduled to appear Wednesday, I

(36:02):
guess at noon, so he's gonna be sitting in the
pokey for a little while. About fifty firefighters were sent
to the scene for the for the fire is eventually
brought down at fourth will I guess maybe just burned
itself out. Um, and then if you had a post
office box or you get mailed from there, you're supposed
to do something that's probably none of you. Yeah, okay,

(36:25):
so we're able to get some of the mel that
we're in the PO boxes out. That's strange. I wouldn't
think that'd be your priority with the whole building's on fire.
But yeah, so I haven't seen a motive, but if
I see something, I'll pass it along to you. But
the spray paint thing is interesting, long live me? Like,
is that why you think it's? There's mental health? Maybe there?

(36:46):
Or does that make you more or less inclined? Because
that's a pretty definitive statement. I don't know. But any who,
all right, I got a few things we got to
get to here. One of the stranger stories who in
the audience. If you guys, if you've ever had an MRI,
you'll understand this. So if you haven't, when you go
and get an MRI, there's a couple big discussion. There's

(37:10):
two things that they really want to talk to you about. One,
if you're claustrophobic. They want to know because you it
is a very confining thing. You're you're in a tube.
You can see out of it, but you can't really
move your head. They want to every depending on what
they're doing the MRI for, and so they will, they
will like pregame with you and they'll offer you they'll

(37:33):
offer you a sedative two, which I did not take
but maybe I should have in retrospect, because then once
you get in there, I'm not a claustrophobic guy. It's
just really uncomfortable, and it's really loud. It's really loud.
Just it makes us banging sound. But that's the lesser
of the two things that they'll talk to you about.

(37:55):
And everyone from the doctor ordering it to any of
the nurses. The text, the last text that every single
person will grill you on metal because there's there's one
thing that a giant electromagnet you do not want to
have on your person or in your person. I'll give you,
I'll explain what my conversation was. Is any metal whatsoever?

(38:18):
And and so ross. You've never had an MRI, you said,
But like you're you're aware of that you can't have
metal in there never.

Speaker 3 (38:25):
But I'm well aware that that's like a big no no.

Speaker 1 (38:28):
That's the it is the biggest of no nos and
so and they will ask you. Let me tell you
how in depth I got. I had the m R.
I had a car accident a long time ago, and
it was it was really bad. I I busted a
bunch of stuff at a baseler skull, fracture my pelvis,
some ribs I had. I had a glass and metal

(38:49):
that literally embedded under my skin that worked its I had.
There was a piece that worked itself out almost a
year later. And so this MRI was post that, and
it was kind of it was in connection with that,
but something else was turned out to be nothing. So
it was fine. But and so like they had, they
did another thing to make sure that there was not
pieces embedded in there that were metallic, cause it was yeah, yeah,

(39:13):
and there would have been just tiny little fragments. But
they're like, you stick that thing in there's court it's
good coming out of your arm. And I'm like, well
that sounds awful, So let's go ahead and do all
this every step of the way. And then you show
up to where the MRI is. There's signage everywhere everywhere,
and generally you got to pass through. You got to
pass through a series of doors so into the facility,

(39:36):
which is a holding area. This is how the setup
was for the two that I've had yet, different hospitals,
but both the same setup. And you go and then
you pass through and then there's the control room or whatever,
and then there's the door into the thing, and there's
signs the whole way in there. You will not forget
and they will ask you again when you get there,

(39:59):
do you have any metal? Okay, all of this to say,
this thing that happened up in New York is horrific,
but there's so much I don't understand. So a man
he was not getting an MRI, his wife was. And
I don't know how the policies work at all the
different medical facilities. But if somebody's there with you, they
may be able to sit in the room or the

(40:20):
techsar and observe. Right, So I don't remember. I remember
my mom came with me the first one because I
had the car accident when I was in college. I
was back at Wyoming and it was over Christmas break
and she actually came to the one MRI that I
had done in Wyoming, and I had another one in
Minneapolis for something else. But and so she was able

(40:43):
to but like she was given instructions what she can
and can't do, like they grilled her. And so I
don't know the process of this hospital up in New York.
But this guy's wife is getting an MRI. We'll hear
from her in just a moment. He's there as support. Right.
They're an older couple, he's sixty one.

Speaker 10 (41:03):
So and.

Speaker 1 (41:06):
At some they get done and she clearly has problems physically,
and so somehow she called to him to come help
her get up, which is not unusual, and he went
into the room. The problem was he was wearing and
I don't know what this is. He was wearing what
he or what was described as a weight training chain,

(41:30):
so a chain that had a lock on it that
weighed twenty pounds around his neck. It's a giant hunk
of metal. It's not Some people were thinking it was
like some one of those bling chains you see what
the rappers and the athletes. No, no, no, no, this
is it's called a weight training chain. I don't know
what that is. Is that just big chain, big heavy chain,
roster You've never.

Speaker 3 (41:50):
Heard of it before. I was trying to think about it.
Maybe he's trying to make it like his own weighted
vest sort of. So just a big old chain of
the lock on it and you walk around with it,
and you know, gives the exercise that way. It's the
only thing I can think of, But I.

Speaker 1 (42:02):
Don't understand how it was concealable. And actually, when you
hear the wife, she says that they were fully aware
that he wore this chain because they had had a
conversation about it during the previous scan she had. So
what happened was he then went into the room and
the MRI machine, which is as hungry for metal, grabbed
the chain, which of course grabbed the dude, sucked up

(42:26):
him against the MRI and I'm assuming strangled him. I
guess he technically died of a heart attack. But and
they were like they literally were the wife and the
tech were trying to peel the dude off the MRI machine.
Maybe what you lab techs can help me out, this
is what I understand. After the machine stops what it's doing,
there's a period of time it's still very magnetic, or
is it always very magnetic, I don't know, But it

(42:50):
was enough force that a grown man was literally pinned
against this thing, the chain choking the life out of him,
and there's nothing they could do. And I just the
whole thing was such the whole thing was so opposite
of the experience that I had with the MRIs, where
I'm like, I, I can't believe a hospital for liability

(43:10):
would let even somebody in the observation thing walk around
with the twenty pound metal chain around their neck with
a big old lock like their flave of flave. It
doesn't make any sense to me. Let's hear from the
wife too, because again, there's a lot of things that
I think people they didn't really read into this, and
they're making a lot of assumptions here. You know, the

(43:34):
type of chain that it was, or they nobody talked
to him about the metal or anything, or they weren't
aware that he wore this thing. All of those seemed
to be false from what we heard from the wife
and various people from the hospital.

Speaker 7 (43:45):
They wave goodbye to me and then his old body wentn't.

Speaker 1 (43:49):
Limb each time. I'm sorry, Yeah, that is really that's
the saddest little nugget here. Apparently he waved goodbye to her. Dude.
The whole thing is just horrible.

Speaker 7 (44:00):
To me and then his old Bobby wentn't limp.

Speaker 11 (44:03):
Adrian said after she'd had an MRI on her knee Wednesday,
she needed help getting up.

Speaker 12 (44:08):
She said. She asked the technician to get her husband, Rush.

Speaker 7 (44:10):
I yelled at Keith's name, Cave Keve, come help me up,
Come help me up.

Speaker 12 (44:14):
She said. The technician went to get her husband and
brought him into the room.

Speaker 11 (44:17):
Despite the fact that Keith was wearing a twenty pound
chain around his neck with a large lock that he
used for weight training.

Speaker 7 (44:24):
Dave was getting the laughing and joking the boy. He
even came to the table.

Speaker 11 (44:28):
When Keith got closer to Adrian to help her up,
she said, the unthinkable happened that instant.

Speaker 7 (44:34):
The machine switched him around, pulled him in and hit
hit MRI.

Speaker 11 (44:38):
Adrian says she and the tech tried to pry Keith
off the machine, but it was impossible.

Speaker 7 (44:43):
I was like, could you turn up the machine, call
nine one one, do something?

Speaker 1 (44:47):
Kick kind of damn to all. Yeah, I just imagine
watching this, but again, imagine how it got to here.
Because of everything that I just told you about, the
the process that I went through to get an MRI.

Speaker 3 (45:02):
It just sounds like, you know, he wasn't being exactly mindful, right,
He's probably on his phone, his mind is drifting. His
wife calls for help. Sure, I'm going to help you out.
The technician lets him in there. Yes, and then it's
just it's a tragic accident. But it also like that's
a big no no. And the technicians in right then technician.

Speaker 1 (45:17):
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, I don't. I'm telling you, I don't.
I don't think that text is probably gonna be working
there or doing this again in the hospital. The battle
liability of the hospital probably has is is just crazy.
But again, there's only there's only two big rules, right, well,
and well that was not a rule. It's just for
the comfort of the patient, right. I just know that

(45:40):
it's really loud and for claustrophobic, tell the doctor and
they'll sedate you. That's it, because because you can't really
you got to hold very still and it does its thing.
And then that banging, it's just banging. They'll put a
lot of people. You can also have music, they'll put
earphones in you can listen to music. So uh, but
you still hear the banging. I don't even the best
noise Canson in the world, so or not earphones, but

(46:03):
the pipe music on in there, so yeah, which is
also weird. It's a non metallic speaker. I guess I
don't know.

Speaker 2 (46:10):
So.

Speaker 1 (46:12):
And by the way, tell them what you want because
if they let them choose, it's really got awful. Which
had was the first time, and I got some better
stuff later, all right, a little more from the white.

Speaker 11 (46:20):
He said that this was not the first time she
and Keith had been Chinasaw open MRI and she said
he'd worn the big chain here before.

Speaker 7 (46:27):
There's not the fust time that guy had seen that game.
They had a conversation about it before.

Speaker 12 (46:32):
That's a big change, Adrian said.

Speaker 11 (46:34):
Keith, a hard working man who always gave his all,
suffered several heart attacks following the incident.

Speaker 12 (46:40):
He was sixty one years old, and I.

Speaker 7 (46:42):
Loved him so much.

Speaker 1 (46:45):
And again, so that part right there where him and
the tech had a conversation about the chain, because I think, yeah,
I think people were saying that, oh well, maybe they
didn't see it. That doesn't sound to be the case.
All right, I hang out, Candy, what's up.

Speaker 7 (47:00):
Good morning?

Speaker 5 (47:00):
What kind of take?

Speaker 2 (47:01):
Give us some m this morn.

Speaker 1 (47:02):
I just was so what, I'm uh, once you're done
with the scan, I'm assumed the thing that's still very
magnetic for this period of time or how does that work?
Because they said they were done.

Speaker 5 (47:13):
The magnet never ever courns off once it's ramped up.
It is always on. It never courns off.

Speaker 1 (47:20):
Unto you, uninsulid how many times it says I can't
he work to MRIs over twenty years? How many times
does a patient get quizzed about metal during the process?
Because I followed, I.

Speaker 2 (47:32):
Feel like when I ever get in there, probably ten
different times there. I asked us on paper, we asked
them verbally, the screening people ask them before they're were
even scheduled, I mean were.

Speaker 1 (47:43):
Yeah, yeah, that was my that was I remember. I
remember being slightly insulted. I'm like, I understand, I'm not stupid.
But then I realized the amount of liability that's there
for this. So did you ever have in your twenty
years metal? Uh come in contact within an MRI machine?

Speaker 2 (47:58):
Oh? So many time?

Speaker 5 (48:01):
You know, people said to be sneaky. You know there's
been flying crack pipe out of a sock, and you
know the occasional lipstick forgotten and let's see, I had
a pulmer try to get in with a wrench into
the back pocket that he completely forgot.

Speaker 13 (48:15):
Was there.

Speaker 5 (48:18):
Lots of crazy things, but never never a chain that
I was. They were told not to go in with.

Speaker 1 (48:24):
What a way to have your crap pipe discovered? Jeez? Yeah,
all right, thank you, Kenny. That's what I wanted to
know here, because that was my memory from a patient's perspective,
I'm like, they wouldn't shut up about metal. So to
assume you think this text probably in a bunch of trouble, right.

Speaker 5 (48:43):
Well, I think from what I read, the tech told
him over and over not to go in there.

Speaker 1 (48:47):
Yeah, then he knew about the chain, and then he
walked him in, so like there's a certain amount. Yeah, yeah,
that's what the white says. Anyway, all right, Canny, thank
you very much for the call there. That's that answers
my questions. I do appreciate it. So because again this
was not her first MRI, and she you know clearly
the tech and had talked about the chain with the guy.

(49:08):
Oh anyway, horrible, horrible story, man, Uh but uh one
that I don't know, everything tells me should have been
incredibly preventable. But now candies talking about crackpipes, so I
don't know, man. Anyway, we'll be right back. There was
a lot of things to entertain oneself with, and one
of it was just memes about the CEO and the

(49:29):
hr and at the Coldplay concert, and some of them
were hilarious. Well, but we'll get to an update on
that here. In just a moment, a horrible, horrendous thing happened.
I'm gonna grab a call here, Chet, so just hang
out and come to you. In a moment, a horrible
thing happened. When I went to break, I informed Ross
that there was a story I did years ago, and
I couldn't remember the details of it where a woman

(49:49):
went to an MRI and she forgot that she had
a plug of some in do you catch what I'm
putting down and.

Speaker 5 (50:04):
Now?

Speaker 1 (50:05):
And it didn't go well for her. And I told
Ross this story off the air, I'm like, yeah, I
remember this story. And then I go to my email
and somebody had emailed me uh and he said, dude,
you got to google MRI and then plug that kind
of the adult version. And I thought, oh, okay, well,
clearly this guy remembers that story, and then to my horror, uh,

(50:28):
it's not. It's a second incident, and there's probably been more.
This was one that happened earlier this year I somehow missed,
so apparently now I have a question. How do you forget?
Was what I believe that was Ross's first question. Forgot? Yeah, yeah,
that's in the In that instance, I think she was

(50:51):
luckier than the one that just happened. Was because I
don't if I remember correctly. She wasn't the person getting
the scan, but she entered the room and was at
least positioned in a better angle to the machine when
it removed it from her. But it didn't do it
gingerly this one, Ross, did you open the link I
just emailed you to see the MRI scan? This one?

(51:14):
Unfortunately for this woman who's twenty three, she didn't forget,
which is actually even weirder. I guess somehow because she
made a conscious decision to put that in there before
going to the hospital for her MRI. She incorrectly assumed
it was all made of silicone. But the problem is
to give it weight. The interior is metal, and it

(51:36):
instead pulled it up into her chest cavity, and there's
literally a scan of this and I don't know why.
And also does that thing look smooth ross in the picture?
That's why I'm wanting to look at the picture like
it's just an image scan, Like it doesn't look smooth.
It looks like the top end of a crescent ran. No,
that that looks horrific. I guess I imagine those things

(51:58):
are like, you know, more smooth. That's because word.

Speaker 3 (52:03):
I'm gonna use is commitment, though, because you think you'd
be like me, I'm gonna like remove this for the MRI,
you know what I mean, Like I will remove it.

Speaker 1 (52:10):
I'm a big fan of this.

Speaker 3 (52:11):
This thing is my passion apparently, but I take a
break for the MRI machine because I don't want to
die and I don't want to throw it up into
my chest cavity, you know what I mean?

Speaker 1 (52:19):
Yeah, No, well she does. She just again she thought
it was not made of metal, was her thing. But
still yeah, that's that that. No, I'm with you, but
still like, you can't sit this one. That's a bad term.
You can't. You can't not exercise your passion for like
thirty minutes. E could even wear it to the hospital

(52:39):
and say I'm gonna go to the bathroom real quick
and to go do it, and then when you're done,
you're like, I have to use the bathroom and then
and then back to whatever you're weirdness is. That's you. No,
not even for a minute. Hey, chet, what's up?

Speaker 5 (52:53):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (52:54):
Morning, morning, sir, what's up?

Speaker 5 (52:57):
Not much?

Speaker 2 (52:58):
So.

Speaker 9 (52:58):
Some of the data on the leg is the accurate
the MRI machine. It is correct that magnet is on
one hundred percent of the time, the main superconducting magnet,
the strong magnet. However, there are certain metals that you
can have on you or in you when you go
into that machine. You want to be very they can yes,

(53:24):
or even you know, like myself, like i worked in
the field for about twelve years. I've been out for
about thirteen. But yeah, I've got some surgical metal in
one of my fingers that is perfectly fine. There is
stainless or other metals that just don't have the ability
to be magnetized that easily. So and I would have

(53:46):
people that would come in for scans that would be
horrified that their surgical metal was somehow different. And the
technologists should have the ability to you know, differentiate and
and if they can't figure it out, then they have
the ability to contact someone that can but just didn't.
Won't be misinformation that happen.

Speaker 1 (54:06):
No, no, no, And by the way, and I appreciate it.
This is not it is not unused, sir. Also, don't
get your information from a radio show or a simple
Google search on a random web page. Talk to the
people that are doing the scan. Okay, let them all
day long, yeah, all day long? Yeah, yeah, all right.
Did you ever have anyone get really messed up with

(54:26):
because some something was there?

Speaker 9 (54:29):
Luckily no, not an hour, not an hour. I think
the personally, the worst thing I ever had going there
was an ink pen that my dumb butt forgot to
take out of my pocket. But I did go through
my fair share of credit cards. Oh yeah, that's when
the magnetic strip was the only only way that they
didn't have the chips and stuff.

Speaker 1 (54:50):
Oh that would be a podcast. All right, yeah, I do.
All right, Well, thank you very much, their sir. I
appreciate that you call this morning too. That's also the
thing I thought about with the crackpipe. How many stories
have we done were somebody keysters their crack pipe or
that I want to say that woman in Florida that
had all the hypodermic syringes in there, which weren't hers,

(55:13):
just we know according to her, I want to say
that she was I don't know if she was in
for an MRI, but I think I think that's what.

Speaker 2 (55:20):
I think.

Speaker 1 (55:21):
There was some something she was taking the hospital for
and that's where they found them, which is good. I
of all the things, now they had caps on them,
but still that's it sounds like the thing you at
least want to go crazy up in your up at
your innards there, all right, excuse me. It's a very

(55:41):
sad story. But also there's just some real head scratchers
over the years with various various stories that I've seen
with this. All right, eight eight eight nine three four
seven eight seven four the phone number here on the show.
All right, So the c and the HR director who

(56:02):
were canoodling, frolicking, getting get a little little close there
on the jumbo tron at the Coldplay concert. Uh, they're
both out. I guess. Uh. He resigned and I think
the maybe she resigned too. But don't worry. She's probably
gonna be fine, although it doesn't sound like her or
his marriage is gonna last, and what's crazier is, uh,

(56:26):
they found out that this woman is from a really really,
really kind of big deal family up in Massachusetts known
as the Cabots, and like, uh, and I was not
aware I had heard the name. Ross has heard the
name because it's in a video game. That's how famous
they are. In a post apocalyptic world, when you go there,

(56:46):
it's literally what is place?

Speaker 3 (56:48):
Yeah, yeah, something follow Out four. It takes place in like,
you know, post apocalyptic Boston right in the Commonwealth or whatever.

Speaker 1 (56:54):
How do you tell the difference between current Boston and
post apocalypt I'm not gonna lie to you. It's very tough.

Speaker 3 (56:59):
Okay, it's very hard. So I mean sometimes I play it.
I just pretend it's modern day, you know. Yeah, but
there's a whole storyline around the Cabot family, Okay, and.

Speaker 1 (57:08):
They made money with suit and booze. What is it,
by the way, what is it with all the Massachusetts
really well to do Massachusetts family where the money's all
from booze? Is that all you guys know, because like
that's what the can that's where the Kennedy's money came from.
If you don't know that the JFK's father literally was
he was during Prohibition. He made a bunch of money
with Booze illegally, and I know the Cabots didn't like

(57:32):
the Kennedys. They would never let him into that interior
social circle, and that that made the dad mad. I
just remember reading and it was a JFK biography that
I read, anyway, but they had beef there. But yeah,
it's like, if you're really rich in Massachusetts, it probably
came from Booze. So I'm not surprised. There's another quote

(57:54):
in here that's kind of crazy, as in the New
York Post story it says the Cabots speak only to God,
is what it is said about them in Boston. But anyway,
so she was married. She's married to like the son
that I guess would be the sixth generation of the
Cabot family. So she married, she married, and I think
that I think they're worth like fifteen billion bucks. I

(58:15):
don't know him, but I think the totality of the
business there. So it's like, and then you go cheat
on your husband at a Coldplay concert in front of
a bunch of people, and and and and the and
again the part too where it's the h R director.
That's that's the cret because you know, anyone who's worked,
especially in a larger corporate environment knows that, uh, this

(58:40):
is not a knock on HR people because they're tasked
with a job. There's some stuff they do where it's
I don't get it. But this is like the the
amount of hypocrisy, I guess is what I'm going for
the amount of hypocrisy that would take you know what
I mean because how many times in the course of
her job as HR director has she probably had to
help punish employees or even fire employees or at the

(59:03):
very least lecture employees about and especially in the era
that were you know, that were embroiled or had been
embroiled in where you know, guys won't even talk to
women in office settings unless they're you know, in a
private room together. I told you I had somebody of
the one of the pieces of advice somebody gave me
is if you're ever in the radio station, do not

(59:25):
be in a room alone with a member of the
opposite sex that is not viewable Because our studio rooms
they have giant windows. You can see what's going on
in there, and just just don't do it. Remember Mike Pence.
They all thought Mike Pence was weird because you wouldn't
go to dinner with somebody a woman who was not
his wife if his wife was not there. They were
making fun of them. But you know, and so she

(59:49):
she's the hr person, she's the person in charge of
saying all this stuff. And then she's with the CEO
at this thing, and you know, don't get then there's
the power imbalance thing. All right, So the Cabin family
going back to this the Boston Brahmen, the clans that
controlled New England. Wait wait, wait is this build a
butcher's family? Oh that's New York anyway. Uh, let's see. Yeah,

(01:00:12):
the family Mad's fortune was soot and rum carbon black,
a key ingredient in car tires and has actually ten generations.
Excuse me, I said six ten. He's the tenth generation
of this really wealthy family. But uh, maybe not for long.
Oh that's on. There's the picture of the only got
two kids. It's a really nice kitchen though, as as expected.

(01:00:37):
All right, is mister ray stachek ready in the Weather Channel.
They had a little more update on the Coldplay incident.
I'm sure you're sure you're aware of that with the
CEO HR lady. Yeah, so that's all their their lives
are destroyed, and they yet for their families. Looks like
a nice name. Oh yeah, that's terrible. It's terrible, but

(01:00:57):
she's like she married one of the richest families in Boston.
Really and I realized all the family, the really rich
families in Massachusetts are all rich because they sold booze,
which actually that tracks well and you don't want to
remind them of that. Really do we know?

Speaker 9 (01:01:10):
Is that? Wow?

Speaker 1 (01:01:11):
Most of them they haven't got up yet because of
the hangovers, So it's that anyway. Yeah, So what's what's
going on? I don't like it's another weather alert day
or you get some stuff going.

Speaker 14 (01:01:19):
Yeah, it's kind of messy, but believe it or not,
cold front coming and there'll be noticeable changes tomorrow and Wednesday.
Today another hot one. Most of the triangle heat advisory
try it not in it, So we'll be between about
ninety one and ninety six that's where we were yesterday.
Ninety one try at the airport and point nine to

(01:01:39):
one inches of rain and then ninety five I think
it are to you. So that's the temperature spread heated.
It still close to one hundred to one oh five
today and storms around this afternoon through tonight. That frontill
pass south. The rain chances a little less tomorrow, partly sunny,
afternoon showers, thunder showers maybe if you was trying to
sneak in the morning. Tomorrow's highs load of med eighties,

(01:02:01):
so it'll be a nice change coming in tomorrow. Then
sunny met upper eighties on Wednesday, then back to the
nineties over the weekend. Looks like it's gonna get hot
once again. So nice little break coming, Casey, but won't
last on a couple of days and then we're back
to the summertime heat.

Speaker 1 (01:02:14):
Okay, did you see some of the memes that have
come out of the that the photo where they meaned
in different people that I see some man they are
but I don't know. I don't like people. I guess
you're like memes. No, I mean I do, but that's
it's not Ross. Did you see any of those memes?
You see the one where it's Patrick Mahomes with his

(01:02:35):
arms around the rough. I can't see that, so that
I was gonna send that to Ross and I forgot,
So yeah, it was pretty good. And then I like
the one where it's the flight attendant from the movie
Airplane with the plastic pilot. You know, that was really good,
So I retweeted those on the show account down you'll
find them all right, right, thanks, appreciate it. Yeah, the

(01:02:56):
Mahomes one was great, man, but I think the airplane
one for my my, he's probably the best of them,
all right, seven forty eight? Hang on, all right? Why
the chicken cross the road they get to the other side? No,
all right, so that somebody get a face full of
bear mace. Oh I like that one better?

Speaker 2 (01:03:11):
You like that.

Speaker 1 (01:03:12):
Yeah, it's a good joke, except it's not a joke.
It's our Florida Man story, and it's actually Florida Woman.

Speaker 10 (01:03:23):
Florida Men. Florida Man. Is something in the water they
er or sand that makes you do all that crazy crap.
That's like the state is wanna be dumb ass trapped.

Speaker 1 (01:03:32):
Nowhere else has the Florida Man.

Speaker 10 (01:03:36):
It is almost like, as the Weird Factor climbs if
you find out it haven't in Florida every time, Florida Men,
Florida Man. If anyone can jeer me, if you know
you can, just mind life be crazy, but of course,
but it's not as bad crap crazy as yours. Nowhere
else are you gonna find him? They're so used to it,

(01:03:59):
they don't damn way for Florida.

Speaker 1 (01:04:02):
There, all right. So in this case, Florida woman, her
name is Cynthia Sosa, and so she's driving around and
there is a literal chicken crossing the road in front
of her. So she stops. Except the chicken is not
making haste. It's being a real jerk about this thing,

(01:04:22):
you know, a little over here, a little over there,
not really moving. And as a result, the woman behind
the car behind Miss Sosa starts just laying on the horn.
Maybe she probably doesn't see the chicken. She's wondering why
this woman's just stopped, and she honks, and Sosa is
still waiting for this chicken to cross, and eventually the

(01:04:43):
woman in the car backs up, pulls into the oncoming
lane because there's nobody coming, and then just floors it.
The problem was, it was at that moment that the
chicken made its way into the four lane, so she smoked,
this chicken is done. Chicken was killed, and that made
the woman who stop so mad. According to police, she

(01:05:06):
in a fit of rage, chased the chicken murder lady
and then blocked her car and almost Pitt maneuvered or
blocked her car and jumped out, forced the woman's door open,
produced a can of bear mace, and bear mace the
lady in the face and now and she went to
jail for that. So yeah, I look, I I if

(01:05:30):
you love I love chicken ross? You like chicken? Are
you kidding me? Yes? Yeah, love some chickens's ROSSI eats
a lot of chicken. So but it doesn't mean it
doesn't mean he wants to run one over again. I
don't think. But I don't know. Some would say that's
a slight overreaction. Uh yeah, I don't you know what.
I didn't think I was gonna bring it up, but
now I want to bring it up. So I don't know.
One of the one of the greatest things going on

(01:05:52):
on Twitter right now is that three year Letterman and
Cat Tured have beef and it's great and like three
year Letterman every day has some post trash and on
Cat tur which I understand, by the way, I think
Cat turns a tool. I don't know how you do.
I've had him blocked for like four or five years now. Yeah,
and a lot of you guys will like you'll tag
us and stuff with the show account, but I can't

(01:06:13):
see it because, uh it's usually if it's from him.
And who's that idiot the Malaysian dude who is currently
like the leading commentator on US politics for some people.

Speaker 3 (01:06:25):
You know that, the Ian Miles Chung, but like his
uh yeah, his engagement numbers are like super down, like
something happened, there.

Speaker 1 (01:06:33):
Happened. Yeah, Oh it's you, okay, yeah, thank you. Yeah,
well I hope it's me. I would love to take
credit for that. So I don't I don't see a
lot of the stuff. But so cat turn decided he
was going to tweet this over the weekend. And because
he's it's not three or letterman he's fighted with, he's
he's threatening, he's trying to intimidate somebody else, but in

(01:06:55):
just the the dumbest manner possible. And he's doing that
chef that chess puff up thing like yeah, I'll put
you in a grave. You come over here, you see
that crap. He's doing that digitally, okay, And he tweeted
the dumbest thing man says dude, I was raised in
the South. He's replying to this account called the alien Elite,

(01:07:18):
because the account said people like Cat Turned have just
never been punched in the face, and it shows I
don't even know what this guy was mad about. So
cat Turn responds, Dude, I was raised in the South,
and I've been in forty bar fights. You wouldn't last
three minutes with me, wimp, except you didn't put a
comment between me and wimp. And if he spoke like
a pirate, that takes on a new meaning. So uh,

(01:07:41):
but I think he was trying to call him a whimp.
So there's that I have. Forty is a very specific number,
isn't it, Because like thirty bar fights, that would be
too few to strike fear in your enemy's hearts, probably
like thirty whatever, But fifty might be on the realm

(01:08:01):
of unbelievable or maybe you're the problem.

Speaker 3 (01:08:04):
Yeah, fifty is absurd. That's like Steve steven sagal numbers.
It's not believable.

Speaker 1 (01:08:08):
Yeah, yeah, that's fair, that's fair. And maybe Roadhouse, you guy, roadhouse,
And I'm trying to think of where that might be
an appropriate number. But forty is an oddly specific round number,
which is what's so weird about it, like forty, I'm
forty one, not thirty nine forty. And then of course
three year letterments mocked him to all get out with that.

Speaker 3 (01:08:32):
So what's what's great about the whole thing is it's
you know, there's this photo from South Park where the.

Speaker 1 (01:08:39):
Kids keyboard Keyboard Warriors is the name of the episode.

Speaker 3 (01:08:43):
Yeah, where they're playing like, you know, video games and
there's this old guy behind his computer that just keeps,
you know, kicking their ass. And so you know, three
year Letterman took that photo and he like, you know,
quoted cat Turd and I can't believe him saying this
in the air his name, and it's just a man
or if you know, you're like, hey, check out this guy.
Cat turn didn't know that it was from south Park
and they thought that they specifically made.

Speaker 1 (01:09:05):
It for him.

Speaker 3 (01:09:06):
So he's like, how dare you make this meme and
this cartoon that's me? You know, you didn't have him around,
you wimp. You know, it's like, dude, you're so out
of like you know.

Speaker 1 (01:09:14):
You got you gotta say it at Lake cat Trick,
do you have to say it as you're a pirate
because with not having a comment between me and wimp right, No,
it's hold on, hold on, hold it he said, uh,
read this accurate because it would go like this, You
wouldn't last three minutes with me, wimp.

Speaker 5 (01:09:31):
So is that?

Speaker 1 (01:09:33):
What kind of thread is that? Is that dirty or dangerous?
I don't even know what you're threading, sir, So use
a common next time. But no, yeah, that's now he's
now he's kind of he I did see he tweeted
something else because I I did. You can you can
look at people's posts that are blocked. There's a little
button and you don't have to unblock him to do it,

(01:09:53):
which is very handy. I appreciate that. And he posted
some other stuff. He's trying to play it off like
he was. He's just trolling, which I don't know mostly
with three year letterman does it just takes things he
tweets and then takes things he tweeted last year and
puts him side by side on the ridiculously opposite so
it's not a heavy lift, and and that it clearly

(01:10:14):
sticks in his cross.

Speaker 3 (01:10:15):
Well, I mean, if I had to choose a side,
I'm squarely on the three year leiment.

Speaker 1 (01:10:19):
I'm in that camp.

Speaker 3 (01:10:20):
Yeah, it's not even like a like which one am
I gonna choose? It's an easy choice there.

Speaker 1 (01:10:25):
But sobody's personal. Yeah, it's personal. Yeah, it does.

Speaker 3 (01:10:28):
And what's funny is like, you know some of these
accounts they start off like really fun and you know
it's like it was a funny, jokey account. I'm a
cat and it's my name's cat Turd and I'm gonna make.

Speaker 1 (01:10:39):
Something its because you had to have politicians who would
comment on somebody named cat turn Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:10:43):
I think it was really the draw. But overall he
was making fart jokes, right. And now it's like it
becomes so into yourself and so self important and so
really self righteous.

Speaker 1 (01:10:53):
Dude, nobody cares.

Speaker 3 (01:10:55):
Yeah, I've got a million fall on Twitter. I don't
care who cares. Yeah, shut up or just or or
just do what you know.

Speaker 1 (01:11:03):
Do stuff that's funny to people and and not it's
like he's always in a fight with somebody. Yeah, and
now and then when other people who want either trying
to build their accounts or just want to entertain themselves,
they know that this guy, if you hit him and
he sees it, he'll literally like he'll start beef with you.

Speaker 3 (01:11:21):
No, it's like these people that are online and they're like,
I'm part of the revolution. No, dude, you make memes.
You make memes.

Speaker 1 (01:11:27):
Man, you I know you think I know you think that,
but really you have the same energy as watching that
Venezuelan Army Specialist training video. Completely.

Speaker 3 (01:11:36):
Yes, I don't have time for that crap because I
have a family and I have actually stuff that I
have to do. I want to spend my entire day
on Twitter.

Speaker 1 (01:11:44):
Are you very busy? I'm incredibly busy. Wow, so busy.

Speaker 3 (01:11:49):
I'm making time for this segment for you alone, just
because you Yeah, but I'm so busy.

Speaker 1 (01:11:54):
It's not at all that you're being competenced. Okay, all right,
that's but I will also make time as ross you
did this weekend to uh uh read these tweets so
because it's funny. And then the forty five what would
you say? And you only an interval?

Speaker 5 (01:12:12):
Uh uh?

Speaker 1 (01:12:13):
A series of tens uh? And you can round how
many tens of bar fights have you been in?

Speaker 7 (01:12:19):
Now?

Speaker 1 (01:12:19):
Are we talking like you know? Verbal? Are we talking
like debate? Are like physical? Either physical or I would
say verbal? Is okay? If there were threats conveyed because
that in and of itself might be illegal. So I
mean all of those.

Speaker 3 (01:12:33):
I wouldn't say it was at a bar. I mean
I think once in like a like a company setting
with like you know, drinks and stuff, I defended Marki's
honor and nearly.

Speaker 1 (01:12:41):
Oh that's fine, I can remember that. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:12:44):
That was like a thing where this guy was like
dumping drinks on the girls heads and stuff, and I
backed this guy in a corner. That's which is always hilarious,
And that was like, that was like a bar. I
was like, you know, like a what would you sayeah, no, no, no,
yeah yeah, but actual bar fight never never gonna so
zero tons of tens.

Speaker 4 (01:13:00):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:13:01):
I did get in a physical altercation at a bar,
but it was my buddy got into a fight with
somebody and his friend came over and tried to punch
me because I guess he just assumed that we're all
going to jump in, which but he also wasn't good
at it, and I didn't. I didn't punch him back.
I just shoved him and somebody restrained him. But that
that was it. Also, here's the other thing. If you

(01:13:23):
go to a bar and you get in, uh, forty
fights there, don't go to that bar anymore, you know
what I mean, probably not gonna let you back in.
I mean, yeah, at the point, if you go to
a restaurant and once a month somebody attacked you, would
you keep going to that restaurant? No, I would not.

Speaker 3 (01:13:44):
Okay, all right, but yeah, I mean the bar owner
at some point and be like, hey, cat turn, you
can't come here anymore because he keep punching people in
the face. So yeah, I imagine there's forty bar fights
that he has said he's been in. It asked to
how many how many venues do you think? How many bars?

Speaker 1 (01:13:57):
Well, it just says bar fights, So it could be
one bar, could be forty bars.

Speaker 2 (01:14:01):
You don't know.

Speaker 1 (01:14:04):
Again, we're just trying to figure this out. But and
here's the other thing, whether it's forty bars or one bar,
if on forty occasions you've been at a bar setting
and somebody's wanted to fight you, it's probably you, and
you're gonna have to come to terms with that. You're
just immensely punishable to people, not that they should be

(01:14:25):
punching you. And I'm operating under the assumption he didn't
start this, which I don't believe that. But let's say,
in the purest form, your face is just a fist
bagnet in a bar setting. I feel like you probably
shouldn't go to a bar, and that may not be fair,
but I don't know, it's probably better for your face.

(01:14:49):
Although he's implying that he won all of them. I mean,
maybe his face was fine.

Speaker 3 (01:14:53):
Forty bar fights, you've got to have be like, have
an incredible like discipline problem. I mean, I'm a recovering
alcoholic and probably at zero Like yeah, I mean, so
that's like a big thing for me to say, right
because I obviously I was drunk, but I had self
control at the same time, Like, yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:15:09):
People people act differently when they're drunk. I'm gonna give listen.

Speaker 3 (01:15:13):
I will even say, because of my drinking history, perhaps
there are a few fights that I do not recall. Okay,
but it wouldn't it wouldn't be more than two or
three Okay, not forty though, forty No, nowhere near there. Also,
he says, I'm from the South, So is he implying
that is he knocking on Southerners like they don't have

(01:15:33):
enough control?

Speaker 1 (01:15:33):
Not the pipe, because let me tell you, I've seen
a lot of fights in Wyoming and they have full
out Western balls. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:15:42):
I will say when on Patrol Live was in Wyoming,
it was a great place to be Wyoming or Montana.

Speaker 1 (01:15:47):
Ah, man, I want to because they were in Billions
Montana episode. That's what I'm thinking about. Yes, North, Yeah,
that was a fun episode. Yeah, because it's either a
bar fight or a deer. Yes.

Speaker 3 (01:15:59):
Yeah, about to say, it's either there's something like ginormous
beast in the road or a bar fight.

Speaker 1 (01:16:04):
Yeah yeah, or a bar fight. Yeah. There's a bar
in Buffalohom we called Cowboy Town and there's no one
called the Century Club, and like, go the Century Club.
Something's gonna kick off, man, not big and nobody's nobody's
shooting anybody. But like chances are that back Patio because
it's right across from the Oxendal Hotel, which is a
very famous bar there. And the Cowboy Town is where

(01:16:25):
all the Ranchans come and drink. And as we know
from watching westerns ross, when the Ranchans come into town,
things is gonna kick off, right, Like remember remember when
they come into Big Whiskey, they start cutting up hookers.

Speaker 3 (01:16:38):
Now, all they need to do is give their guns
to the person at the front of the of Big Whiskey,
and they wouldn't be these problems. Read the sign, man,
give them your guns right.

Speaker 1 (01:16:49):
There, which is really funny because they would have signs
and then those movies and then if you fully understood
what the literatary rate was in the Old Wests, not
that was a weird thing. Hey boy, didn't you read
the sign?

Speaker 10 (01:17:03):
No?

Speaker 3 (01:17:04):
No, I did not.

Speaker 1 (01:17:05):
I didn't read anything. Actually anyway, all right, wait, hold
is this somebody say? Barfires Boston, Paul Boston. We were
just crashing on all your rich Everyone rich in Massachusetts
is from Booze. Oh you know what I forgot? You know,
it was the anniversary of last Friday, and I totally
spaced at ross the anniversary of chap equitic I always

(01:17:27):
like to get a rib punch in there. So, yeah,
we're a literal guy who was probably going to be
the president was able to literally murder, through his own
alcoholism one of his staff and not be held accountable
for it. Really, So there's that, all right, eight eighteen
Hang on different movies where they have that same trope

(01:17:49):
in westerns or like it's you know, they got the
sign to turn into guns, and I just it hit
me because one of the things they teach you in
Western history, which is one of the history they teach
you Whyoman, one of the requirements junior year is they
really going to depth about the school of the prairie
house school systems and really what they were trying to

(01:18:10):
accomplish out there as they were settling the west. And
it's not unique just to the west, because obviously you
had prairie schools as everything was expanding, you know, from
the east coast westward, but those were more naturally built
out west. They had real literacy problems, especially with people
who'd come out there and you know, they don't have

(01:18:32):
access to this and basically the kids would just go
to work or they'd ranch hand and stuff. And to
combat that, they really established this whole system. And it's
pretty fascinating because I have like great, great relatives that
were part of it out in Wyoming and Montana area
and so ital and it really turned around a lot

(01:18:52):
of that was it was very helpful. But yeah, all
them different movies, I was just remembering Back to the
Future three. They even have that in there, where the
whole did you not read the sign, and once I
took that class, it ruined me on it because then
I realized they probably couldn't read the sign. And there
were several outlaws so famously were illiterate or said to
be illiterate. One of the ones that gets tagged is

(01:19:14):
Billy the Kid, And I don't know if I believe
that because he was like, he was bilingual. He spoke
three different languages. I spoke Spanish, English, and then he
spoke which was there's a combination I can't remember what
it's called of Native American languages for that part of
the country that was a lot of tribes would understand

(01:19:35):
kind of a secondary thing. So I don't know if
he was illiterate, but he was bilingual or trilingual. Actually,
but some of the Hole in the Wall gang were
thought to be illiterate. And there's another guy whose name escapes,
who was illiterate and he one of the people he killed.
He killed them for the guy pointing out he was illiterate. So,
and but the fame the best literacy beef in history

(01:19:59):
is much more or modern and that's fifty cent and
Floyd Mayweather Junior. Uh, I didn't think Floyd Madeweather might
be illiterate, but his response to when Fiddy sent offered him,
what are you offering him a million dollars to read? Yeah?
One page Harry Potter, one paija Harry Potter, and Floyd
flipped out so much. I'm like, oh my gosh, that

(01:20:20):
might be true. That might actually be true. A good boxer.
Maybe you can't read. I don't know, but what But
that's what's so sad about the where we're trending with literacy.
Now all right, oh crap, all right, real quick, Ley
Lee or Lay, I'm sorry, go right ahead, good morning,
good morning.

Speaker 13 (01:20:39):
I'm calling from Winston Salem. My name is Leola, but
I go by Lee. And I couldn't call you when
you were talking about it because I was still in bed.
But for the people that have crossed the phobia, when
they go in the MRI I, they have them that
they'll call it an open m i I and they're
really wonderful. They maybe half as big as the one

(01:21:03):
that they pushed it through. And you can see, you
can open your eyes and you can see the people
around you that are taking care of you and everything.
And I have many of them. And I'm eighty seven.

Speaker 1 (01:21:14):
Now to our last caller. I apologize it's just tight
in there for a minute, but yeah, that's that is
a good recommendation. Now again, I don't get claustrophobic, but
I can understand if people do, that is not a
place they want to be inside one of those closed
MRI machines. So I guess it makes sense that they
have one. So that's an option. I guess if that's you.
So all right, a couple of things to get into.

(01:21:39):
Here's the here I will say, this is the problem.
I did enjoy all of the memes that emerged from
the the whole Coldplay concert, the CEO HR thing. Now
that politicians have decided to start making jokes about it,
it's it's in cringed territory, and so those will probably
go away, including Amy Clovishar who decided to invoke it
so that she can make really stupid point. But here

(01:22:01):
we go.

Speaker 15 (01:22:02):
But it's true that the president says they're Democrats didn't
really see to seem to do anything about the Epstein
file throughout the four years of the Biden administration. I mean,
should you have you sit on the Senate Judiciary Committee,
Senator Marshah Blackburn for years has been trying to get
flight records and other information about Epstein were released, and
she seems to have been the only one on that
committee trying.

Speaker 10 (01:22:22):
To do so.

Speaker 13 (01:22:23):
So the President blaming Democrats for this disaster, Jake is
like that CEO that got caught on camera blaming Coldplay. Okay,
like this is his making.

Speaker 1 (01:22:35):
Yeah, I don't, I don't even know what you're getting
at here. But and again this is the other thing,
like there are people who supported Trump but also don't
like the way he's handling it, and the difference is
they can openly talk about it. But the point that
Democrats did have this information didn't make a big fuss

(01:22:56):
about it except to imply that Trump might be in there,
which again, if he was in there, we'd have seen it,
is generally what I think, because they hit him with
literally everything else and so I'm not buying that. But
they did not do anything. And now them wanting to
act like this is one of the biggest issues is
clearly political. So but it doesn't seem to be helping them.

(01:23:21):
Their numbers are not moving up and Trump's aren't really
moving down. So anyway, that issue, and then the Demsking
of Ice agents I guess are the two big driving
issues that I see Democrat politicians talking about. Although I
did see that ross it happened during the show Friday.
Do you see what Morning Joe was doing over on
MSNBC after the because of the Mitch McConnell thing, they

(01:23:43):
were demanding. They're saying that they're demanding cognitive testing of
the presidents. Oh really yeah, oh okay, yeah, they want
to do that because it's quote common sense. I think
he said, wasn't it, Joe Scarborough?

Speaker 3 (01:23:55):
Right, he said at the time, like before Biden's meltdown
at the debate, He's like, oh, that's the show arpist
Biden has ever been.

Speaker 1 (01:24:01):
He's like, you know exactly who that is? Yeah, it's
he goes it is the sharpest of Biden I've ever seen,
or something like that. Yeah, that guy. But now he's
on the Hey, we gotta we gotta cognitively test everybody.
So this clown show, clown show, and the the unwillingness
to understand why ICE agents might be wearing masks even
though it's blatantly obvious. Here's Eric Swallwell being a d

(01:24:26):
bag as usual in our community. You're you're terrorizing women
real men don't terrorize women. What what I agree with you? Right,
you shouldn't terrorize ross You're not You're not pro terrorizing women, right, I.

Speaker 3 (01:24:39):
Am anti terrorizing women, Yeah, to be the record, but.

Speaker 1 (01:24:44):
I also but you also understand why ICE agents might
wear a face covering like in the course of their duties,
because like we had the there isn't there is a
an industry out there of doxing these people and their
families and their homes. And I'm not just that these
are literally incidents have already happened. Let that not even

(01:25:04):
counting the ten people showed up to try to murder
police or the guy who showed up to try to
murder Border Patrol agents, and technically that guy the ten
showed up to harass ICE agents. It's just the local
PD intervened and that's who end up getting not local
PD if a different agency, that's who ended up getting
shot in the neck. Thankfully it was just a graze.

(01:25:25):
So yeah, yeah, so the the they know, they know,
but this I guess they get traction. I think they're
getting traction with and it's all just so dumb man.
All right, couple other things. So I know probably many
of you had big w NBA All Star weekend parties, right, Okay,
and I'm kidding, But here's the deal. You know, the

(01:25:49):
pay of the WNBA is a constant topic, and while
they are in a collective bargaining agreement, which arguable if
you adjust for revenues, revenue is actually a better contract
as a percentage than the men and the fact that
they have they have a lot more power than the

(01:26:11):
NBA players do in some of the league decisions, which
is fine. That's what they negotiated. They're looking ahead to
this next rights contract that the league will sign with
broadcasters because it is going to be bigger, and it's
going to be bigger because more people are watching this
largely due to the person that they a lot of

(01:26:35):
them don't like. That's what's so weird about this. The
reason that there's going to be more revenue derived from broadcasts,
likely that we don't know what the deal looks like,
is due to the fact that they were putting butts
in seats last season, and they were putting butts in
seats because people wanted to go see Caitlin Clark or
Angel Reese. I guess I don't know, so they can

(01:26:56):
see how me bound works. But the fact is this crops,
so there is going to be more money there, but
they haven't negotiated it yet. But they did decide to
all get matching T shirts and come out for warm ups,
uh with with these T shirts on that says pay
you what, pay us what you owe us or something

(01:27:17):
like that, and it's just like you, what are you
talking about? Well, remember the w NBA still lost money
last year. I don't know what the revenue is going
to be. If they're going to make up the loss
and actually turn a profit, well, they haven't done it yet. Yeah, no,
excuse me.

Speaker 3 (01:27:35):
Oh no, I was just checking that when you said that,
because I was like, I don't think they've the league
has ever made a profit.

Speaker 1 (01:27:41):
No, I think they're but they're looking ahead and realizing
that as the numbers build, then more tickets are gonna
be sold. But also they can sell the rights because
more people are interested, so more eyeballs will watch. If
you put a Kaitlin Clark game on, people would not
have watched my watch it.

Speaker 3 (01:27:55):
Right, We'll get there first and then get what you
quote deserve, right, yes, earn it prove Yeah?

Speaker 1 (01:28:01):
Yeah, But also this whole thing is happening because of
the person you keep punching. Right, That's like if you
think you're owed more money because they're making more money
and you don't, and you never stop to go, why
are they making more money? You weren't eve maybe having
this conversation, and yet like they wanted, like there is

(01:28:24):
an innovate. It's not all the players. I've seen some
of the w NBA players who are like, no, this
is like, I get it right, we're building the league.
If you go back to the NBA, where they used
to pay players up until like the eighties, it wasn't
a lot of money, but now it is. I think, right,
we agree.

Speaker 3 (01:28:40):
Read the two most underpaid industries are probably the w
NBA and Stephen Colbert.

Speaker 1 (01:28:45):
Right, what do you mean, Oh, it's from a revenue
to arriving of revenue. Huh Yeah. If the number came
out where they were fifty lost fifty million on that
show last year. Now you can't look at it just
on AD sales, because there is inherent value two shows
like that that is that is less tangible than just

(01:29:06):
what they sold in AD revenue. But eventually, if it's
so much, it becomes about AD revenue and the benefit
is these shows are marketing apparatuses for these large media
conglomerates other projects. So if you own his show on CBS,
and CBS has a new TV show that they want,

(01:29:26):
you know, they want to maximize viewers on, they'll have
the stars of this show come do the interview and
then maybe that'll drive people to watch the show. They
do it for movie promotion. All of this, and a
lot of these are contractually locked into these actors' contracts.
They have to go, You're going to do a certain
number of Tonight shows, certain number of this, and so
there is benefit to having that space to market your

(01:29:47):
other products. I don't know how that factors in, but
when you're losing fifty MILLI a year, it's sure as
hell ain't happening with that viewership number. It can't be
even if you add that in profitable. And over the
weekend everyone's acting like, oh, this is the beginning of
fascism Trump. Look that people speak out against Trump, they're
getting canceled. Well, one, he's working till May of next year,

(01:30:10):
so I don't think that's how that works. And the
second one is the voice of reason on this the
voice the only person who's normally in the lunatic fringe,
who went, no, this is not Trump canceling, Stephen Colbert,
this is a ratings issue. Is one of the most
insane people that we talk about on this show. Keith Oberman.

(01:30:33):
Keith Oberman was like trying to be the voice of reason.
So I don't know. I thought it was in a different,
different multiverse over the weekend reading that tweet. But sure enough,
all right, we got Ray.

Speaker 2 (01:30:46):
Is he ready to go?

Speaker 1 (01:30:47):
Yeah? All right, mister Ray stagic? Hello, l dude, what
happened in Atlanta at the Beyonce concert? What is wrong
with you? People? Did you see this?

Speaker 9 (01:31:00):
No?

Speaker 1 (01:31:00):
I did not? Okay, So Beyonce's tour stop in Atlanta,
a ten year old girl screamed because a bug landed
on her, and then everybody panicked and it created a
wild stampede and eleven people went to the hospital. Oh yeah,
I did hear that soccer match or something where everyone
tries to leave it once?

Speaker 2 (01:31:19):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (01:31:21):
Girl? Was was that the Marta thing? That's station?

Speaker 9 (01:31:27):
Yeah?

Speaker 14 (01:31:28):
Yeah, and the of Marta like resigned or something. I
don't know, something happened. I take somebody there, like, I
don't know if it was because of that.

Speaker 1 (01:31:35):
But yeah, crazy, they're criticizing him for crowd control issues.
But I but like, is it so shooty and on
the Marty and Marta in Atlanta that people here stream
and they just naturally assumed that some horrible's happening and
not a ten year old girl a bug land on it. Yeah,
that's not crazy, I know, ayes. Yeah, better to stay

(01:31:58):
indoors today and yeat people one more day. Noticeable changes.

Speaker 14 (01:32:02):
I like that say noticeable because tomorrow you'd be like,
boys are gonna stay like this for the rest of
the summer. No, rest of the month, probably not rest
of the week. And the answer to that question is
probably no. Also, so get ready still a heat advisory
about the triangle points east still between ninety and ninety five,
about ninety Triad ninety five triangle heat the next one

(01:32:24):
hundred to one oh five, so dangerous heat. More shower
storms this afternoon and yesterday actually at the Triad Airport
they had point ninety one inches of rain. Most of
us got nothing. And there's a cold front coming in tomorrow.
The load to mid eighties. That's right, you'll see eight
as the first number on the kar thermometer. So temperatures
do come down tomorrow with a few more showers, thunder showers,
mid uPAR eighties Wednesday, upper eighties, load nineties Thursday. And

(01:32:46):
you see where this is going back to the load
to mid nineties for Friday, and maybe mid to upper
nineties for the beginning of the upcoming weekend. So enjoy
a couple of days in the eighties. It's gonna get
hotter again late weekend, especially this weekend.

Speaker 1 (01:32:57):
Okay, all right, thank you sir. We'll talk tomorrow. We're
gonna come back with Jeff Bollander. And and if you
think you had a good time over the weekend, it
is nothing compared to the day that this man in
nyc up a New York had. He had heap. Well,
I'll give you his schedule. It's crazy, and that's coming up.
Hang on Bloomberg News, Jeff Olander joining us. Jeff, what's

(01:33:18):
going on? Well, good morning, casey.

Speaker 16 (01:33:20):
A cyber attack on Microsoft server software has prompted a
worldwide warning about potential security breaches. Microsoft has issued a
patch that SharePoint customers can apply to their systems. The
company says this patch will mitigate active attacks targeting on
premises servers and Microsoft says it's working on additional patches.

(01:33:41):
The US Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency says the unknown
hackers were able to access filesystems, and internal configurations, and
they could execute code. One researcher describes this attack as
a dream for ransomware operators. Alaska Airlines and Horizon Air
of resume service. They resume service overnight after temporarily grounding

(01:34:04):
their flights because of an IT outage. Alaska Air Group
requested the system wide ground stop for its two carriers
when the outage began last evening. There could be some
residual flight delays today as operations get back to normal.
The first foldable iPhone still more than a year off,
and our mark German says there's a lot of pent
up demand. Apple's new device is not expected to redefine

(01:34:28):
the category, but a lot of people who want a
foldable phone are iPhone loyalists. They're not willing to switch
over to Samsung. Apple could dominate the foldables market within
months of launch. Workplace experts are rethinking the age old
advice the job seekers keep their resumes to a single page.
More companies are using artificial intelligence to screen applications and

(01:34:51):
a single page summary may not impress a bot. An
executive of the AI recruiting software company Find Them told
the Wall Street Journal couple of pages that focus on
applicants impact and previous jobs as extremely important now and Casey,
The Man of Steel drew more people to movie theaters
than any other film over the weekend. Warner Brothers and

(01:35:12):
DC Studio Superman was number one for the second weekend.

Speaker 8 (01:35:16):
In a row.

Speaker 16 (01:35:17):
This time out, it took in more than fifty seven
million dollars.

Speaker 1 (01:35:20):
Casey, you know, it kills me about these airline things,
like we have one of these stories a few times
a year, and yet the software never gets upgraded or
something like. I don't know what industry can just have
their entire system shut down because of software glitches multiple
times and then they don't do anything. In Southwest different upgrade,
I'm sorry. Yeah, I think Southwest had like the biggest one.

Speaker 16 (01:35:42):
And they kept Yeah, they they had a big one.
Was it last summer a couple summers ago. But it's
it's happening at different at different carriers.

Speaker 1 (01:35:51):
It's not not one dame, you know. This is what's
so weird about it. Yeah, this is like maybe you
guys I don't know. Maybe you should take some of
it because their revenue was pretty good the last couple
of years. I don't invest some of that. All right,
thank you appreciate it, Joe. Okay, take care of Jeff.
Jeff Bellinger from Bloomberg News, right, and uh, our two
things will rapid fire. One, Uh, what's going on in

(01:36:13):
Minnesota right now is crazy. And I was talking to
some friends just to live up there. So what do
you have to know if you see stories about what
happened with the DFL's nomine and then and first of all,
if you see DFL, that's what they call themselves in Minnesota,
that's the Democrats. They call it. It's Democrat farm in Labor,
but it's DFL. And it's very weird if you're not
if you don't know that. So so they have a

(01:36:35):
Somali member of the Senate who was able to get
the DFL nomination for the mayor of Minneapolis. But the
mayor of Minneapolis a guy named Jacob Fray who's been
the mayor for a while, who's a Democrat. So how
did that happen? A couple things. One, apparently there's some
issues with electronic voting but also, uh, supporters of this

(01:36:58):
guy Omar Fete or whatever his name is. They waited
and they kind of flooded the zone because what happened
they did. It's a strange thing they do up there,
and so people try to read the room to figure
out where they're going to stick around, and so if
they see a bunch of supporters of somebody they don't
want nominated, that'll prompt him to stay. What FTA did
is apparently a bunch of supporters were not in the

(01:37:19):
room or visible, and then when it came time, they
kind of flooded the zone. And then there was problems
with an electronic voting mechanism, which I don't fully understand,
and so they nominated. This dude was able to get
the nomination even though there's an incumbent member of the
party who is the mayor, and it was largely due
to a little bit of subterfusion, maybe some some technical stuff.

(01:37:40):
So that'll be interesting to watch. And finally, so up
in New York, some guy's in a marina. He's acting weird,
and so the marina staff asked him to leave, and
then this happened. Five minutes later, reportedly returned fully nude
re entered the marina and hijacked a dinghy, which I

(01:38:00):
guess is what you do naked. I don't know ross
you ever hijacked the dinghy. Oh man like forty of them.
You whimp oh oh, forty's that's why I stand corrected
