Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Just you know, buckle in gonna be what did I see?
One hundred and fifteen feels like in some parts of
the listening area today. So a continuation of the weekend
we will lambast raced agic for that coming up a
little later in the show seven and eight forty five,
So do stick around for that. What a oh boy,

(00:22):
where do I even start?

Speaker 2 (00:24):
After this?

Speaker 1 (00:25):
On the news cycle over the weekend? One I have
never seen so quickly digital karmik I won't even use
the word justice, but kind of just just karma.

Speaker 2 (00:44):
Cut you know.

Speaker 1 (00:44):
Let us say life comes at you fast, karma comes
twice as fast sometimes man. And if you have not
and I will educate you on this, and I understand
why you probably looked at it and you went, I
don't even want to know what the hell this thing is,
especially if you're married, you're not in the dating pool,
you just don't care. But if you do not know
the story of the tea app and what transpired over

(01:09):
the course of less than a week, but really the
meat of it over the course of about two days,
it's amazing. It is it is a ah. I don't
want to I don't want to give any of it

(01:30):
away if you don't know what it is. I just
promise you're gonna want to hear this story, and I'm
gonna get to that here pretty quick. But let me
give you, uh, let me give you just a few
other things we're gonna be talking about.

Speaker 3 (01:41):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (01:41):
The apparently Sydney Sweeney is the new face of the
Fourth Reich or something.

Speaker 2 (01:47):
And I will tell you I did a lot of ross.

Speaker 1 (01:48):
I did a lot of research on the Sydney Sweeney
story because I want to make sure I had it accurate.
And then even after I had researched it, I thought,
let's go back and research it again, because that's the
thoroughness on this show that I know all of you
have come to expect. And then last night I'm like,
I better refresh myself, you know, before I go to

(02:10):
sleep on the Sydney Sweeney story again. And then even
this morning, I wanted to check to make sure there
were no updates to the Sydney sweene And.

Speaker 4 (02:17):
That's important because I mean, the claims and the allegations
surrounding the story are pretty intense, so you want to
make sure you know what's going on right correct.

Speaker 1 (02:25):
Yeah, And it has to do with some photos that
she did as part of an ad campaign for American Eagle,
you know, the mall store that I don't know if
I've ever I don't remember if I ever bought anything
from American Egle. Do they do men's clothes too? I
think they do, but.

Speaker 2 (02:41):
You know it's more college age crowd. Whatever.

Speaker 1 (02:43):
I got no beef with it, and so people then
lost their damn minds because she was in an ad
campaign fully clothed on my dad, fully clothed, and it
turned into some Hitler stuff. But everything, dude, there were
so many Hitler dog whistles. I saw moonbats freaking out

(03:04):
over the weekend. I remember that. I remember that guy
used to work for WRIL Travis Faine. We had him
on the show one time and it was it was
an interesting interview. I saw him having an absolute meltdown
on social media, which.

Speaker 2 (03:18):
Is really good. Ross.

Speaker 1 (03:20):
The dude has like eight thousand Twitter followers and he
gets no interaction at all, zero interaction or damn near zero.
Those accounts always weird me out, like, how do you
have seven eight thousand?

Speaker 2 (03:35):
That's how many? What is the show account has that
your account has?

Speaker 5 (03:37):
That?

Speaker 2 (03:38):
Right?

Speaker 4 (03:38):
I think I'm at like seven point four something like that.

Speaker 2 (03:41):
Yeah, if every tweet.

Speaker 1 (03:42):
You posted didn't almost exclusively didn't get any responses, how
much tweeting would you be doing?

Speaker 4 (03:50):
Probably I wouldn't be doing any Yeah, I mean, I know,
I know a lot of people like to use exer
Twitter or even Facebook as a way of just like venting. Right,
listenal like you're talking to your.

Speaker 1 (04:00):
Sure, yeah, okay, all right, Well maybe it's cathartic. Like
Homeland Security retweeted a painting by a a dude who
was like an immigrant to you as like one hundred
years ago and did a painting and it's it's Lady Liberty,
but she's she's marching across the plains, and it's it's

(04:24):
manifest destiny, which I remember covering. I remember being taught
manifest destiny in high school. And then it's but now
manifest destiny is secret. It's like milk right where you
thought it was just milk, but apparently it's actually Nazi
code or something. So if you so, if you if

(04:44):
you think manifest destiny, if you see it in any
any sort of positive light, you're a secret Nazi, which
I did not know until this weekend. And this is
over a painting ironically done by uh by an immigrant.
So because at the time, when you're really talking about
manifest Destiny, part and parcel of that was populating the

(05:06):
US with immigrants. We're talking Ellis Island stuff, but also
pushing people westward, which is what my family chose to do.

Speaker 2 (05:18):
That's how we end up out in Wyoming, man.

Speaker 4 (05:20):
I mean that's what the Oregon Trail game was about.

Speaker 2 (05:22):
Right right?

Speaker 4 (05:24):
Yeah, A little bit like he introduced us to that
one in third grade.

Speaker 2 (05:28):
Yeah, go to the Apple You got to the Apple Lab. Man,
that was a big day. So yeah, just absolute luned. Oh.

Speaker 1 (05:35):
By the way, there was another piece of code ross
They figured out somebody else who was a secret Nazi
and I think you know who it might be because
we spent most of the show on Friday talking about him.

Speaker 2 (05:50):
Do you know who that might be? Did you see
this over the weekend?

Speaker 1 (05:56):
Who was a famous wrestler who recently passed away?

Speaker 2 (06:01):
And did you know he was a secret Nazi?

Speaker 4 (06:03):
I just assume at this point everyone is a secret Nazi.

Speaker 1 (06:06):
Do you know how they figured you know how they
cracked the code?

Speaker 4 (06:08):
Though?

Speaker 2 (06:09):
What's his name?

Speaker 4 (06:11):
Uh, Hulk Hogan m hm or is the ultimate worrior
would say, Hulk Hogan.

Speaker 1 (06:16):
Okay, but regardless of regardless of who's pronouncing it, what
are his initials?

Speaker 4 (06:21):
Oh, I see it's h Yeah. Oh of course, yeah,
you get there.

Speaker 1 (06:27):
See he don't want to be he didn't want to
be known as tuberculosis. So he's like, ah, let's go
with a Nazi code and go with Hulk Hogan.

Speaker 3 (06:35):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (06:35):
So if you if there's two h's in anything, I
wanted to write on his post, which is just the
dumbest thing.

Speaker 2 (06:41):
The h is in the room with you.

Speaker 1 (06:45):
But like like it was just over the weekend, man,
you know, And so I have but I have a theory.
Because I have a theory, I think that the Russia
thing is breaking people on the left. I think it
is an absolute and I didn't know that I came
up with with this, but I agree with some people
I saw type this as well. I think it is

(07:05):
an unraveling of reality for you, for not for you, probably,
but for people who were all in on Russia rig
the election. Trump's Samanchurian candidate. Remember when they poll and
they ask if if Donald if Russia won or rigged
the election, change votes? Do you remember when they would
would pull people that limboys to talk about this all

(07:27):
the time.

Speaker 2 (07:28):
Man, back twenty sixteen.

Speaker 1 (07:30):
They would poll people and every six months or so
to be a poll out, and they would ask Democrat
voters once again, do you believe Russia rig the election
by changing votes? This is very important? And the majority
still did. I don't know if they still do. But
that went on for years, years, and so it became

(07:51):
canon at that point. And so with the fire hose
of what you're seeing coming out now through Tulsi Gabbard
and others, if that was your reality, your whole reality
is getting challenged. Well, what happens when people's reality gets challenged?

(08:12):
They start spassing out. Man, They got to find something else.

Speaker 4 (08:15):
I don't know, Man, I don't think the majority of them,
even though it happened.

Speaker 2 (08:19):
What's that.

Speaker 4 (08:20):
I believe the majority of Democrats don't even know the
Tulsi thing happened.

Speaker 1 (08:23):
And if I'm not saying all of them, but over
on blue sky, over on blue Sky, they're apoplectic over.

Speaker 4 (08:27):
I think, like freaking out. I mean, the Hogan stuff
is par for the course. It's surprised me, Like that's
like typical behavior from them. It isn't like suddenly they
have this Russia thing and they're like, well, Hogan, I mean,
it's just I expect it from them.

Speaker 2 (08:41):
Yeah, no, I do. But the Blue skuy they clearly
see what's going on.

Speaker 4 (08:46):
Give an example, I talked to my buddy Michael, you know,
he's a big lip, had no idea.

Speaker 1 (08:49):
Is the house buldo it? And once I told him,
he didn't care. It's all fake. Oh okay, all right,
Well you know, maybe you say that, but subconsciously.

Speaker 4 (08:59):
I don't know, man, I think I don't know. I
think maybe in your I think it's some wishful thinking.

Speaker 1 (09:04):
Because I I think that on the flip side, I
think there were some Republicans having the reality challenge when
Trump was sitting there poop poo and the Epstein stuff.
You know, but who knows. Who knows If somebody gets indicted,
there's not going to be a way to sit there
and ignore it. But but we'll see. So apparently Nazis abound,

(09:24):
including Sidney Sweeney for some reason. So I'll try to explain,
but I don't even understand what it is. We'll fill
you in on what that te app thing is, because
holy crap, man, that.

Speaker 2 (09:35):
Was I don't.

Speaker 1 (09:38):
I don't know it's a cell phone because I mean,
let's face it, there there's there's blame for those who
would participate in something like this because it seems like
it was just about being ugly for most people. But
really the liability of the it's it's a good reminder
not to just shovel all of your information to a

(09:59):
random app. So maybe we'll use it as a learning experience.
There we got Jis laying Maxwell update. I don't know
what's gonna be going on with that, but none of
it may matter because aliens might be coming to kill us.
So okay, and we'll check on the state of streaming

(10:20):
for video game streamers in the local area.

Speaker 2 (10:24):
Ross, did you do any streaming over the weekend? Man?
So you put a poll up, but yeah I did.

Speaker 4 (10:28):
We had some fun on Friday night.

Speaker 2 (10:30):
Would you would you end up playing that horror game?

Speaker 4 (10:32):
Two of them, the Swat game and the horror game.

Speaker 2 (10:35):
That was the horror game terrifying.

Speaker 4 (10:36):
It was awful.

Speaker 2 (10:38):
It was a bad game. Okay, all right, Swat game
was good though, you know.

Speaker 4 (10:41):
It's that's like probably the best like cop game I've
ever played.

Speaker 2 (10:44):
Are you a legit cop or you like, are you dirty?

Speaker 4 (10:48):
Or I know you're a swat team commander, but I
mean you can be evil if you want to be.

Speaker 1 (10:51):
Oh okay, all right, very good. You get struck by
lightning while you were doing that? I did, and I
got Thor's hammer, Oh my gosh. And then Natalie Portman
showed up.

Speaker 3 (11:00):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (11:00):
No, there was a giant boom and I was like, oh, guys,
chat chat, what is that? Am I cooked? Am I cook? Chat?

Speaker 6 (11:07):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (11:08):
And then I heard like a booming voice, you know,
and I'm like, what is that about? And then like
a hammer just flew through my wall? Not now live
on stream?

Speaker 1 (11:18):
Well that sucks when it's so hot that you keep
your house right because you've got a hammer hole. Yes,
oh no, no, apparently some some Twitch streamer got hit
by lightning or something. He's fine, I guess, so I
probably wouldn't be as flippant with the story if he
Wasn't you see what his screen name was when you
put the story into Yeah, all right, so well I'll

(11:41):
tell you what. I'll tell you what a stream name was,
because it's perfect. When we return, we'll get into the
te thing. Mercedes Benz and Microsoft with the partnership I
know all of you have been asking for and much
more to get to.

Speaker 2 (11:54):
It is the case O Day Radio program.

Speaker 1 (11:56):
We are the little pockets of conversations that kind of
play out over the weekend on the Twitter.

Speaker 2 (12:04):
You know, one was the tea app.

Speaker 1 (12:05):
But I'm gonna do that here at six thirty five
because it's gonna take me a little just a little
bit to explain it to because I want to be
very thorough so you get all the lulls. But then two,
with all the hot weather, I saw people over the
weekend they were getting in these big discussions and it
was it turned into Europe versus the US kind of moment,

(12:26):
and with understandably so, because remember Trump's over in Scotland
by the way, Ross, did you see his new golf
cart Over in Scotland. They have a golf cart that
is looks like the beast. It's all bulletproof and stuff.
It looks like a mini hummer the size of a
golf cart with bulletproof stuff all around. That's what he's

(12:46):
driving around in which I want one of those, bad man,
you don't even have to be good at golf rolling
one of those around.

Speaker 2 (12:54):
That'd be amazing, But I digress.

Speaker 1 (12:56):
So, so like people were pointing out over in Europe
because you know, if we're dealing we're dealing with a
lot of heat, they're dealing with a lot of heat.
And the now people figured out the number of people
that die every year from heat over in Europe, and
it's like one hundred and fifty thousand people. And within
the EU, I should say, I think it's UA and
EU and UK, so it doesn't even include some of

(13:20):
the poorer Eastern European countries which technically aren't.

Speaker 2 (13:22):
In the EU.

Speaker 1 (13:24):
These are these are the purported First World over there,
and it's because they don't have ac In many instances.

Speaker 4 (13:30):
It's complete lunacy, Like I don't get it, you know
what I mean, like how how is it even possible?
And that's why they're probably like freaking out more than
we are. And maybe it's just a temperament or the
you know, the personality of the people, but like over
climate change, and of course they're freaking out about it
because they're they're boiling in the summer because they don't
have air conditioning.

Speaker 1 (13:48):
Yeah, and it's it's as somebody who's traveled over there.
If you travel and you stay where American tourists stay.
They the hotels they probably have AC and there's a
lot of places that do depending on where you are.
If you're in the med you're gonna have AC. But
but you know, you go over to that are like UK,
good to Ireland, large swaths of France, parts of especially

(14:10):
northern Italy, they don't have a.

Speaker 4 (14:12):
Yeah, man, just and I was thinking about this yesterday,
like the combination of no acting very hot and all
the beans in the UK, can you imagine this smell?

Speaker 2 (14:23):
Oh?

Speaker 4 (14:23):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (14:24):
Plus you know, plus culturally there are people that don't
shower as much. And by the way, that's not even
that's even a picking on a migrant thing. That's also
people you consider native Europeans, you gonna have a much
a different outlook on the number of times you should
shower per week.

Speaker 4 (14:42):
The whole continent. Is this trash?

Speaker 1 (14:44):
Well, I'm not going to go that far, but I
did think it was really funny though, because because then
this debate, somebody pointed out that in the US, forty
five thousand people die from guns, and they're not even
gun violence. The majority of people who die from firearms
die via suicide. So whenever you see the number and
it includes all causes. Suicide's going to be your far

(15:08):
and away leader there. So anyway, where was that? Oh yeah,
so this whole discussion.

Speaker 2 (15:13):
Over heat and AC and all.

Speaker 1 (15:16):
Across Europe without the AC right, and somebody found out
that or pull the number up, that about one hundred
and fifty thousand people will die from heat in Europe
each year, and then in America forty five thousand people
with guns. And of course then people started. But the
thing that brought me the funniest watch and reactions was

(15:39):
some Brits went and checked it's a brit saying that, well,
it's not like you can murder a bunch of people
with heat all at one time. And then some guy
in Germany just wrote, what's that now?

Speaker 4 (15:58):
So that was like Japan has entered the chat exactly?

Speaker 1 (16:02):
Yes, yes, yes, yeah, go ahead, couple specific cities in Japan.
Maybe Mount Vesuvius has entered the chat. Oh no, Pompeii
is what is Pompeii?

Speaker 4 (16:13):
What Aldern has entered the chat?

Speaker 1 (16:15):
Oh my gosh, yeah, or all simultaneously crying out on chat, right,
if I'm to understand correctly. So, uh, anyway, it's just people.
It's just people on social media.

Speaker 2 (16:29):
Man.

Speaker 1 (16:30):
It's sometimes I'm keyed in where I think it's funny
and I want to watch all of it and I
sall follow a story. And then there's other weekends where
I just don't want any part of it. You get
a sample of what everyone's going to be on all weekend.
It was a very entertaining weekend between that lunacy, which
was interesting, and then uh in Michigan you had this,

(16:51):
you had this guy who's now rested for committing a
terrorist attack. Uh and uh up in Michigan, Yeah, here
we go and a Walmart eleven people wounded in a
mass stabbing at a Traverse City, Michigan. Traverse City, by
the way, As far as it's beautiful up there, I
will tell you that if you ever, for whatever reason

(17:12):
find yourself up in northern Michigan, if you like golf,
there's a near Traverse City, this place called Gaylord, and
they have a huge, huge golf resorts up there. They
have like one of the best par three courses. The
PGA plays this thing occasionally for some different events and
things that they do up there. But it's beautiful and

(17:36):
and in fact, there's one of the tea boxes.

Speaker 2 (17:39):
I can't remember the name of the resort. Up there.

Speaker 1 (17:40):
You can literally see two Traverse City almost Travers City
is this little bay city. It's beautiful up there. So
imagine the surprise of people are just trying to go
to the walmart over the weekend and some lunatics starts
stabbing away. Eleven people wounded, according to Dave Bondi.

Speaker 2 (17:57):
A journalist up there.

Speaker 1 (17:58):
One witness said they then somebody pull a gun on
the attacker. No shots were fired, but at that point, uh,
the the terrorist attack stopped. And there's there's some video
of this identity of the attacker. I know a lot
of people were wondering if maybe he was because they

(18:22):
had a picture of the dude, and they were calling
him and this is the media's own fault. They were
calling him Michigan man, right, But that's not That's not
what people were asking because you know, large scale stabbing
attacks are just not something we generally see here in
the US very much. It's more of a European thing,
and it tends to have a lot of similarities in
certain cases. But I think he's just a dude from Michigan.

Speaker 2 (18:45):
And and and and what.

Speaker 1 (18:49):
His name doesn't sound very what you're going, what you
think you're thinking. But that's not the part that blew
me away. So there's video of the good Samaritan, right,
the guy, the guy a good guy with the gun,
and in the screenshot that was going around, he's holding
the gun at an angle. And then I got to watch. Look,

(19:11):
I love I love my peeps in the shooting community.

Speaker 2 (19:14):
I do.

Speaker 1 (19:15):
I think I I think that's one of the that's
one of the funnest thing that you and your boys,
you and your girls, you and your family can go do.
And I know that horrifies some of you. And I
like the competitive nature of it. I like it's kind
of like when Ross when you talk about Jim culture
to the good parts of Jim culture, where people are
willing to help other people, right, nobody really takes a

(19:35):
fence and and and and that's great and I love
that part of it. And if you guys have never
done like gunfighter matches or something, you're missing out on
a whole community that could be a lot of fun.
That being said, all you a holes who are like, oh,
I can't believe he's holding his gun at an angle?

Speaker 2 (19:51):
What a lose what is wrong with you?

Speaker 1 (19:55):
The dude just stopped a terrorist attack and you're critiquing
his form.

Speaker 4 (19:58):
It's so dumb. I mean, yeah, maybe the form isn't perfect,
maybe it could affect accuracy or even like you know,
injury as risk. But I consider but have they considered
that it looks cool? You know what I mean?

Speaker 2 (20:09):
I can't cool.

Speaker 1 (20:10):
You know, you know you know what's better looking cool?
Stopping a mass terrorist attack?

Speaker 3 (20:14):
Right?

Speaker 4 (20:15):
Yeah, So we talked about it before in the show.
He did the Rick Grimes thing where he's like, you know,
you know, out to the side, pointing down. Is that
what he was doing?

Speaker 2 (20:22):
Like, yeah, he's he's got a pitch.

Speaker 1 (20:24):
I can't tell his body position with this is This
is one of those debates too, because there's people that
will tell you that there's no other way to shoot
and except with your body square. You're kind of you're
kind of, I don't want to say, hunched a little.
You know, you got your knees how they should be,
and then you got your hands out in front of
you almost like put your hands together like your praying,
and then point your fingers out out in front of you,

(20:47):
but keeping your arms bent at almost a forty five
degree angle, and then that's how you should be shooting.
And look, there's there is there's a lot of reason
why that's that's that's a pro I'm not perfectly describing it,
so we're not a nerd out on this, but but
there's a lot of reason, especially if you're in a
situation where it's a tactical situation. You're wearing a vest.
Now you're putting the strongest part of your vest out.

(21:09):
I'm not it's not how I shoot. I shoot with
it kind of sideways because I've always shot like that
and I'm not I'm not a terrible shot.

Speaker 2 (21:17):
But I'm also not going for.

Speaker 1 (21:19):
You know, to be in the Olympics, because I could
never be as cool as the Turkish shooter from the
last time around.

Speaker 4 (21:26):
That's straight up hit man. Yeah, that guy's great, jeez.
But it also depends on what you're you're using, what
gun you're using. I know, typically when I go to
the range when I shoot, yeah, it's one of my passions.
I always do a wheeled sniper rifles and it's really
hard to bear it.

Speaker 1 (21:40):
Fifty cows, I believe, is what you told me during
the break. Do you have you ever picked one of
those up I have and I lift, So it's fine, dude,
you know a bear it is. I eat twenty eggs
every morning.

Speaker 2 (21:52):
I'm good. What is a bear?

Speaker 1 (21:53):
Thirty thirty five kitted? Not a pro, not a problem,
probably not an issue. It's it's every bit of thirty pounds.
So you hold you straight arm Barrett rifles like your rambo.

Speaker 4 (22:05):
I mean, somebody doesn't do bicep curls and he shows.

Speaker 2 (22:09):
Okay, and they have to because the red.

Speaker 1 (22:16):
So you went from not being able to hit a
pumpkin with a red dot ar at thirty yards to
dual wielding.

Speaker 4 (22:23):
Now let's be honest here. I didn't say that I
hit my target. I'm just saying this. How I shoot?

Speaker 2 (22:27):
Oh okay, one.

Speaker 4 (22:29):
One Barrett in one hand and one of the other
and I kind of like go like turn back and
forth like its.

Speaker 1 (22:34):
Like, yeah, what Ross is doing rhythmic gymnastics like with
the ribbons right now?

Speaker 2 (22:39):
So I don't know what's going on.

Speaker 1 (22:41):
All right, Well we need to have a shootof man. Oh,
you know you said you don't care about hitting target.

Speaker 4 (22:52):
I mean it's just you know, I think I would
recommend shooting the way that I do. I think it.
You know, it's intimidating. It's intimidating.

Speaker 1 (23:00):
It's just something about these guys whose absolute dream is
one day to be able to you know, I'm gonna
one day, I'm consumed care. One day I'll be the
hero and I'll stop a terrorist attack. And this guy
got to and you're like, he's not holding his gun properly.

Speaker 2 (23:17):
I don't know. The guy who stopped stabbing people thought
he was.

Speaker 4 (23:19):
Plus, you never know how you're going to react in
a situation like that.

Speaker 1 (23:22):
Sure man, Absolutely, Yeah, at that point, the only thing
that mattered is the dude who was stabbing people. When
that guy's got a gun, I don't think I'm gonna
stab any more people. It doesn't matter if if he
was spinning it like an old timey gunfighter, it accomplished
what he wanted to accomplish with it.

Speaker 4 (23:43):
You remember that guy down in Texas. What was he was?
He a police officer or security guard when that shooting happened, right,
he hid in the closet or whatever. I'm sure his
plan wasn't that he was going to be a coward
and hiding the closet, right.

Speaker 1 (23:55):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (23:55):
Oh, you're talking about oh, you're talking about the school shit.

Speaker 1 (23:57):
Yeah, yeah, no, he probably didn't go there with that,
or maybe he did.

Speaker 2 (24:02):
He's like, man, if it ever hits the fan.

Speaker 1 (24:04):
Finding me a closet with a bunch of coats would
be amazing.

Speaker 2 (24:08):
Yeah, you know, it's just you're right though. You never know.

Speaker 1 (24:10):
Remember we had that story of the guy who was
he attacked the church the other day and some deacon
who showed up late who forgot to bring his firearm
by the way, just jumped in his truck and smoked
the dude with his truck. Some people, some people react,
some people don't. You never know, you know, any of
our military listeners who've actually seen combat over there, there

(24:32):
was that first moment I suspect that it hit the fan,
and then you figure out what's going on. All the
training in the world, you just never know. Not the
training's bad, but it still comes down to what are
you going to do? So I'm sorry, I'm not gonna
pile on all you people like, oh I can't, Oh,
it's horrible. What a horrible way to hold a gun
and stop a mass casualty terrorist attack or a potential

(24:55):
mass casualty terrorist attack. I'm just like I don't care, dude,
if you stop them with a potato gun, I'm gonna
be okay with it.

Speaker 2 (25:05):
Anyway, all right, I promise to get to the tea things.
Let me, let me get to this. But uh so,
an app hit the.

Speaker 1 (25:12):
Market last week and it's called tea. Yes, like the
tea you drink, except and let me just explain this
if you don't know, the slang tea is modern slang
for gossip, and that's important.

Speaker 2 (25:27):
So, you know, you say, spill the tea.

Speaker 1 (25:30):
There's the Kermit the frog meme where he's he's drinking
the tea, and and then some you know, and that's
more of a but you know, I you know, but
that's none of my business. And then that evolved with
some tea references. And I don't know if one is
directly connected to the other, but a lot of tea
references in modern vernacular. But in this case, the tea
means gossip. Spill the tea, what's the tea?

Speaker 2 (25:52):
Okay?

Speaker 1 (25:53):
And that's important because after this thing went sideways, you
have webs, you have news outlets, say NBC News, who
wants to convince you that this app was an app
that was about women's safety. Who's about women's safety? And
in fact, they changed the headline ross This headline literally

(26:17):
talked about the app being for safety. When I added
the story to the stack yesterday and by the time
it got to you to be put in, they changed
the headline. What a bunch of cowards. Oh they've even
softened this story. That's crazy. Hackers have breached the t app,

(26:37):
which recently went viral, is a place for women to
safely talk about men. So they're still saying that. So
the initially NBC was pretending that this was an app
that was about women's safety. So somebody's an evil murderer,
you can go on and you can upload their photo
and be like, hey, don't date Bill. He's a murderer,

(26:58):
and that's allowing women and to keep safe, right, Except
that's all bs because the app was called the Tea App.
The app again, I just told you what tea means.
It means gossip. It was absolutely marketed as a gossip
app and it only allowed women, which by the way,
legally wouldn't have held up. There actually used to be

(27:20):
an app like this, and that woman got sued into
oblivion and she actually allowed men on the app. So
they could come and rebut stuff, but it was too
much because sometimes if people have a bad breakup and
they want to be spiteful to the person they just
broke up with, they may say things that are not true,

(27:44):
and that's what was happening, and clearly what was going
on here was another opportunity to start doing that. The
difference was men could not even see what was being
said about them, and so what would happen is women
would go they would get id identifiable information. It's this
guy in this geographic region. They would have photos because
everyone's got a gazillion photos now, and.

Speaker 2 (28:06):
Then you could match it up. And so some guy
who had.

Speaker 1 (28:10):
You know, three or four different women that he had
dated in the past, they went on this and then
posted either red flags or green flags. But let's be
let's be real, mostly red flags, right.

Speaker 4 (28:22):
I mean these are jaded, stilted women putting the information
into the website. So I mean they can have a
bad experience dating a dude, upload his picture and then
it would be like Steve one inch repeatedly beats me right.

Speaker 1 (28:34):
With it, yeah, yeah, yea yeah, and the another one's going on.
They're like, oh lord, I don't want to date that guy, right.

Speaker 2 (28:39):
Right, except there was no way to verify if it
was true or not.

Speaker 4 (28:43):
You can just make up whatever you want.

Speaker 1 (28:44):
But a lot of the stuff, a lot of the
stuff that was being posted was not you know, talking
about physical violence, which I understand that, right. If you
got some guy who h's this thing putting hands on
women and and you know, one woman wants to tell
another woman, I under I would understand why you'd want
to do that. The problem was is most of the

(29:04):
stuff was like he's emotionally unavailable, he lost interest, blah
blah blah, and and then they would interject why they
thought that might be and believe it or not, drum roll.

Speaker 2 (29:15):
It was always the dude's fault.

Speaker 1 (29:18):
Now, some would say, well, that's that's for the other
users to sit there and you know, really think about
and decide whether they think that the information's accurate. But
that's not how defamation works, right right, It's not up
to the end user. It's it's the impression that you're
leaving to people. So they had a lot of price.
There was a lot of problems with this app, and
the way that they verified to make sure it was

(29:40):
only women is you had to upload a photograph photo
of your driver's license, so it had a picture of you,
and it also had a government issued ID which designated
your gender. I suppose passports probably would have been okay too,
And they told the users that the information was used

(30:03):
to verify and then it would be deleted, except they
went in a slightly different direction. Rather than deleting it,
they added it to an unencrypted, unprotected, unpassworded database that
if you knew the URL of it, you had access
to every single one of these. And so what happened, Well,

(30:26):
four chan did what four chan does. They quickly figured
out that they had they had placed this in what's
called a public bucket, right publicly accessed. You would be
surprised the number of if you can figure out the
URL on the back of big companies. Not as much
anymore because we take security. But back in the day,
during the wild West of the Internet, if you knew

(30:49):
URLs of stuff, you could you could access some really
really private stuff on these websites and it was a
big problem. So whoever put this app together clearly didn't
add any sort of encryption or password or dual authentication
or any of that.

Speaker 4 (31:06):
Yeah, calling it a hack is really a reach.

Speaker 2 (31:08):
It is a reach. Yes, so they figured us out.
So what did they do?

Speaker 1 (31:13):
They then they accessed all of it. They then used
whatever to create a searchable map Google map, and so
it's like you look at a Google map of North
America and it's every you know, everything is one of
those Google.

Speaker 2 (31:28):
Drops, you know, the little drops there. And then you
could go.

Speaker 1 (31:31):
But you could also see the driver's licenses of the
women and there was a theme. Ross did you pick
up on the theme when you saw some of these
about the women?

Speaker 4 (31:46):
They sort of all looked like angry Rachel mattout with glasses.

Speaker 1 (31:51):
Of varying sizes and shapes. Yes, yeah, yeah, And and
they were a lot older than people would have assumed.
It was not as many younger, younger women. And then
it just turned into a clown show. Dude, like, oh,
they're attacking these women, they're trying, and then they're going
and they're looking at this own and you couldn't even
screenshot it. So if you're a woman and you saw

(32:11):
like your brother ended up on the app and you're like,
none of this is true. You couldn't even screenshot it.
I guess you could take a photo a distance photo,
but like they made it where it was unchallengeable and
that irritated and now they're like, oh, look at these
in cells do to these women. And it's like, you
guys created an app, you called it gossip, you then
proceeded to lie about it. Forego your own security. I'm

(32:37):
not surprised that this happened. And it's just karma.

Speaker 2 (32:40):
Man.

Speaker 1 (32:41):
It just came right back around, and it did it
in less than a few days. This thing was the
number one app for about a day and now it's
not even in the store.

Speaker 2 (32:49):
Anyway. There you go. That's the tea story and it's hilarious.

Speaker 4 (32:53):
We'll be back.

Speaker 1 (32:54):
I don't know if you got and I will warn
you the one with the woman is harder to watch
because and I think it's the is what the.

Speaker 2 (33:01):
Hell's going on in Cincinnati? Man?

Speaker 1 (33:04):
So over the weekend in Cincinnati they had a I
guess a jazz festival. I guess would be how it's
I'll tell you what the name of it is here
just for googling purposes.

Speaker 2 (33:17):
So this is well put it in the story, God forbid.

Speaker 1 (33:24):
So here's what you have. You got a couple of
videos that ended up going viral.

Speaker 2 (33:28):
And one is of like, I don't know, a middle
aged dude.

Speaker 1 (33:31):
He's wearing a white T shirt and he's just getting
the crap kicked out of him. And he's a white dude,
and the majority of the people that I can see
that are beaten on him are minorities.

Speaker 2 (33:44):
And then you have.

Speaker 1 (33:45):
This white girl who and this is the one that
is absolutely brutal, who is absolutely getting demolished by a
group of people. Again, it's not one on one combat
people getting into a fight.

Speaker 2 (33:57):
Anytime you're going to have.

Speaker 1 (33:58):
A music festival, there's going to be out involved people
eventually fighting. Is that's not unusual. Nobody bats an eye
at that. You don't want to see it, but it's
not that unusual in those settings, especially if.

Speaker 2 (34:11):
It's hot out whatever.

Speaker 1 (34:13):
This is straight up ten on one beatdowns, man, and
the one with the girl is especially gruesome because she
gets I don't even think she's fighting per se, right.

Speaker 2 (34:24):
I don't know the guy was.

Speaker 1 (34:25):
Either, but she clearly doesn't look like she's fighting. She
looks like she just gets sucker punched in the middle
of already getting shoved around, and when when this dude
hits her, it just pancakes her and she she lands,
goes straight back. You see those videos where somebody just
gets knocked out, she goes straight back. It's hard to
tell herm the video how hard her head hits the

(34:46):
asphalt or whatever. But when the camera pans to her,
she's laying on her back and her eyes are open,
like she's dead and she didn't die, but but it's
like I would just assume she's dead, and like people
are still screaming at her and all of this, And
then I see people defending this, going, well, what did
she say to him? Or what did he say to

(35:08):
him before? And I don't know what the answer is,
but you're gonna have to really help me understand what
a person could say that would then have ten people
mercilessly beat on him for it, especially some random woman,
young woman too. She's just like, I I'm sorry, what

(35:31):
are the words that have to be spoken that then
justify what almost looks like a murder on camera?

Speaker 2 (35:38):
Here?

Speaker 1 (35:39):
Chief of Police Terry Thetchi Thechi contemn condemned the perpetrators
of the attack. I believe they've identified some of them.

Speaker 2 (35:49):
But again, you're gonna have.

Speaker 1 (35:52):
To help all of you who write, well, what did
she say before, I don't know, maybe she was running
her mouth.

Speaker 2 (35:57):
Does that justify it?

Speaker 1 (36:01):
And because the automatic assumption when people write that is
she screamed the N word at them. Okay, you shouldn't
do that, do you do? You almost can people kill
you or almost kill you in a beat down if
you do that?

Speaker 5 (36:16):
Is?

Speaker 1 (36:16):
Are those the rules that we're going for now? And
then what is it only one? Does it only go
one way? I'm sorry? I saw these videos, and again,
it's not unusual to see various, you know, fights in public.

Speaker 2 (36:28):
Everyone's got a camera. Now you see this stuff.

Speaker 1 (36:31):
And again it's not unusual to have fights at a
music festival. It's a thousand degrees, people have been drinking
all day. Somebody runs their mouth.

Speaker 2 (36:39):
But the days of just one on one fighting like
that's gone.

Speaker 3 (36:44):
Man.

Speaker 1 (36:44):
Whenever you see these videos, everybody jump it in. And
in this case, you couldn't convince me short of her
trying to kill somebody, physically kill somebody, and she was
a threat that was being neutral, which I haven't seen
anything in the video. But they're very, very hard to
watch videos, especially the girl. And I think it's just

(37:07):
because the ross you saw, the one where eyes are
open she's laying there, right, that's a that's a brutal beatdown, man,
Absolutely brutal. But police say they've identified some suspects. We'll
see what, if anything, they actually.

Speaker 2 (37:21):
Do about it. I don't know, all right.

Speaker 1 (37:24):
So if you're like me and Ross and most people,
one of the things that you've probably wondered is how
how how is it that I can have more access
in my day to day life, especially at times when
I'm not at work.

Speaker 2 (37:41):
Two Microsoft Teams? Right, This is a constant one.

Speaker 4 (37:45):
Ross.

Speaker 2 (37:45):
You're always saying, Man, I wish I had access to teams.

Speaker 4 (37:48):
Away from the office, right, Oh I sure, am, yeah,
I have that piece of crap. Sure, am.

Speaker 1 (37:55):
Jack's every computer we restart now any company computer. You
got to wait for teams all the time.

Speaker 4 (38:00):
You do like the you know, the control delete whatever,
the task manager. You're like, why is my computer running
so slow? I see how much juice that app is
taking to run? And then you remove it and you're like, oh,
my computer's running fine now yeah, And then what happens
They schedule a Teams meeting and then they have to
re download it, or.

Speaker 1 (38:18):
You do an update when the company updates, and it
just updates right, and then it's right back back in
your desktop.

Speaker 4 (38:23):
It's right there.

Speaker 6 (38:24):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (38:24):
So all right, so what would be better than having
it on your desktop?

Speaker 2 (38:29):
Do you have it on your phone? Oh? Obviously you do, right, yeah,
so you have it on your phone as well?

Speaker 1 (38:34):
What if also you could have it integrated into the
dash of your car?

Speaker 2 (38:37):
Wouldn't that be amazing? Love that? Also?

Speaker 1 (38:42):
How's that not a safety issue? But Mercedes Benz says
that they will be immigrating, immigrating integrating Microsoft Teams into
the new clas so that'll be next to the twenty
twenty six models. So you can use your cars interior
camera for meetings, all right. I guess maybe wouldn't be
able to view them, but they can view you, okay,

(39:06):
all right, so all right, So the way the tech
works is the camera will view you you if your
car is at a stop. So if you pull over
into a parking lot to have a Teams meeting, then
you'll be able to see the person who you're having
a meeting with.

Speaker 2 (39:21):
So I guess it'll look normal. Is it run through apples?
It run it's run through micros.

Speaker 1 (39:28):
Well, it's a team's product, okay, So Microsoft three sixty
five co pilot. Who's asking I just want to know
who's asking for this. I've had to have a teams
meeting in a in a vehicle. I had to jump
on one when I was in Greensboro for Raleigh, and
I was sitting in the parking lot of the Greensboro
station and one of the station vehicles having this thing.

(39:49):
But I sent my phone up right, so, and I
but to have one in to pay for it to
be integrated into your vehicle.

Speaker 2 (39:57):
Man, you just never get away from work.

Speaker 1 (39:59):
So uh yeah, Micro Mercedes Benz doesn't want you to
miss a meeting.

Speaker 4 (40:04):
I mean, this is why I put off getting a
cell phone for the longest time. Right, I got one,
I think for the first time in like two thousand
and five or late two five, two thousand and six,
and I was like, no, I don't want a cell
phone because then work can get to me anytime they want.
I need like a respite from work at some point, Right,
I don't want to be on call twenty four to seven.
And now we're all in call twenty four seven, and
now you're gonna put teams in a car. It's insane.

Speaker 1 (40:26):
I guess maybe it's the type of car that it
is too right, you know, So I guess maybe the
assumption is the likelihood of who's buying the Slas and Mercelles,
you know, the higher end Mercedes are people who are
all a lot on meetings or on a lot of meetings.
I mean, we have managers, I swear in this company,
rods that are always on a meeting.

Speaker 4 (40:46):
Yeah, oh yeah, I've thought about that. I'm like, dude,
I don't know how they live.

Speaker 1 (40:50):
You just have a meeting, go to another meeting. How
do you execute the things that you just talked about
at the meeting. It's so confusing. And then you know,
we got to do it once a week with our
program director in raw Snide, both on Tuesdays. During the show.
We just wait for you know, if you's got to
like move it or cancel. It's like a kid on Christmas. Man,

(41:10):
it is man when it gets canceled. Yeah, it's like
a cancel gasm. We got a break cross, like did
you see it?

Speaker 2 (41:15):
Did you see it? Did you see it? Yeah?

Speaker 4 (41:16):
For a lot of people too. I mean, I know,
the commute can suck, and people, you know, road rage,
and you know, it cannot be the greatest thing in
the world. But for a lot of people, and this
is maybe sad to say, for a lot of people,
it's your respite, like your commute. That might be the
only time in the day that you're alone by yourself where.

Speaker 2 (41:32):
You can't talk to you on the phone.

Speaker 4 (41:35):
Right where you can it's outside of work or family
at home, and you can maybe listen to a podcast
or a radio show you really like, uh wink wink,
or you know, whatever you can. You can veg out
and relax and get your thoughts. It can be meditative.
And now you're like going to put teams in the
car so you can't miss a meeting. Are you nuts?

Speaker 1 (41:51):
You don't want to talk about projections for Q three?
Come on, man, how long is your commute? What twenty minutes?

Speaker 4 (41:59):
There are days or mine like thirty forty minutes?

Speaker 1 (42:01):
Yeah yeah, well but you're you're coming in commute. It's
got to be the same though, right because it's just
so dark thirty yeah, yeah, so you know, but I mean, yeah, stats,
you could talk about it.

Speaker 4 (42:10):
Uh yeah. The morning, I take the scenic crowd to work,
like I take the long way, and I purposely go
like forty miles per hour, forty five at the face
is true in the right in the right hand lane.
I mean, I enjoy my writing the work because I
get to, like, you know, veg out and meditate and
think about the day and that kind of stuff.

Speaker 1 (42:27):
Scream at psychics on George North Show. Yeah, right, anyway,
you're gonna do some people.

Speaker 4 (42:33):
It's nuts.

Speaker 2 (42:34):
What's that, man?

Speaker 4 (42:35):
You're gonna take that from people? It's not right?

Speaker 1 (42:37):
Well, it's again, it's the it's the whole thing. You
don't have to force people to keep volunteering for it.

Speaker 2 (42:45):
It's you know, it's the old joke.

Speaker 1 (42:46):
They're like, if you're a spy agency, how do we
get people to bug themselves?

Speaker 2 (42:50):
You're like, make iPhones now.

Speaker 1 (42:52):
Now you got listening devices everywhere they go, all that creepiness.
All right, couple a couple food little food news for
you this morning. Ross, What would you say is one
of the most iconic flavors from childhood? Iconic flavors from
childhood that you can incorporate into a chip.

Speaker 4 (43:14):
That nobody's thought of yet. I don't, I don't, I
don't know.

Speaker 1 (43:17):
Nine volt battery. You're correct, Oh, okay, yeah, isn't it weird?
You know exactly? You know that taste, don't you.

Speaker 4 (43:24):
Uh, yeah, because we've all done that once or twice
and I'm not doing that again.

Speaker 1 (43:27):
Yeah no, but you know the taste like you can
imagine in your brain now it's cataloged in there, and
that's the taste that is behind these new chips that
hit the market called.

Speaker 2 (43:38):
Rewind What No. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (43:42):
The snack company says it's part of a growing line
and their mission is to revive retro memories through unexpected flavors.

Speaker 2 (43:52):
Nine volte battery will do it to you.

Speaker 1 (43:55):
Uh for the younger kid, I guess you still have
nine volts. But like, we didn't have tidepods eat when
we were kids, so we had to find other stuff,
and nine volt batteries were there. Man, you lose a
bet nine volt battery and that metallic, zappy taste. Like,
is it weird that I want to try one of

(44:16):
these chips to see if they nailed it.

Speaker 4 (44:18):
I think it's like one of those products where it's
like a one off where you gonna buy it just
because of the weirdness of it and then you're never
gonna pick it up again.

Speaker 1 (44:24):
Well, no, they have other they have other stuff. Plato,
you want some Plato chips. Do you remember what plato
tastes like.

Speaker 4 (44:34):
I could smell it.

Speaker 1 (44:35):
Yeah, yeah, Well, I mean, you know, tasting is smelling,
is smelling is tasting. So they also make normal stuff
like tangy saracha, creamy paprika. But now they're going for
other weird flavors from childhood, and one of them is
nine volt battery. And then this, and this is kind

(44:56):
of along the lines of these dumb stories where people
pretend like they invented something. So there is a growing
food trend and I have I got to put a
stop to this because we dealt with this two hundred
and fifty years ago. Okay, we made a decision and
that was the Brits.

Speaker 2 (45:15):
They got to go. So that should have been the
end of this conversation. And yet now.

Speaker 1 (45:21):
American consumers, including some you know, some like food stall
restaurants and some mothers, are leaning into what is a
growing British favorite, and that is jacket potatoes. Ross you
know what a jacket potato is, I don't think so.
Have you heard of a baked a loaded baked potato?

(45:44):
Of course I have, yes, Okay, So they call them
jacket potatoes over in the UK because I guess the
skin makes them look like they're wearing a jacket, but
then it would be a jacket made out of skin,
which is basically a silence of the lamb stuff. You weirdos, Right,
So it's an edging big potato and ed geen baked potato.
What do you like on a loaded baked potato? Let's
talk about this.

Speaker 4 (46:04):
It's all about sure, I will have like butter and
bacon and sour cream. Yes, yea cheese, yep.

Speaker 1 (46:12):
Chai the chop chives onions yep, green onion. Loves some
green onions in there. Yeah, that's you just describe my
perfect one. Do you want to know what one of
the best selling flavors in the UK is?

Speaker 4 (46:23):
I mean, if we're gonna go with the stereotype writer
the joke, Yeah, you gotta throw beans on there.

Speaker 1 (46:28):
It does have beans and it also has a cheese
sauce and tuna fish.

Speaker 2 (46:36):
Why are you? Why are you?

Speaker 5 (46:37):
What are you doing?

Speaker 2 (46:39):
Always hold the trash can?

Speaker 4 (46:40):
What do you get this? I didn't.

Speaker 2 (46:41):
I didn't.

Speaker 4 (46:42):
I didn't want to bring this up because I don't
like being a whiner. But I'm already kind of like
in a lot of pain today. And I'm having a
hard time running the board because I broke both my arms.
They blew out at the range this past weekend when
I was dual wielding sniper rifles.

Speaker 2 (46:53):
Your fifty caliber claimed it.

Speaker 3 (46:56):
Yeah, were you?

Speaker 2 (46:56):
Uh? Do you go with the eighty two eight ones
or the one of seven?

Speaker 3 (46:59):
Yes?

Speaker 4 (47:00):
So yeah, I fire them. They both and they both
wait difference. They both snapped in half. But I've been
walking it off and I don't want why, But now
you're bringing up this and I'm gonna die.

Speaker 1 (47:09):
Now there's the M ninety five you might down to
that that's gonna be I think that's about ten pounds
lest did you say? I did look it up the
eighty two A ones or twenty nine pounds pre kin,
so you know, well in excess to thirty pounds, it's
amazing strength.

Speaker 4 (47:23):
Upper body there there it was at the range and boom,
my tibby is my fevers they brought They both blew.

Speaker 2 (47:28):
Out, all right.

Speaker 1 (47:29):
So so a white, weird cheese, sauce, mayonnaise, beans and
tuna fish you're down right.

Speaker 4 (47:36):
And a baked potato. I mean, if you ever wondered,
like we know, why did we leparate ourselves? From the British. Yeah,
there's the tax thing, but there's also that awful cuisine.
I mean, it's awful. Let's go to war with those people.

Speaker 1 (47:51):
Oh it's first of all, when you're mixing I shouldn't
say when you're mixing cheese and tuna fish because I
guess that is kind of a tuna melt.

Speaker 2 (47:59):
I don't know, man.

Speaker 1 (47:59):
But the beans, there's just something about how many of
you are not eating breakfast and now you're gonna we're
helping you lose weight this morning. You're welcome, but I
had to learn about it too. But now you're getting
these people like, yes, we're introducing this, you know, hot
British cuisine of jacket potatoes and it's got tuna fish
and beans. Oh, Americans are gonna love it. You're all

(48:22):
gonna lose your money. People are gonna show up once
to eat it for the Instagram photo and then they're
gonna be like, that's not happening. And they got some
weird flavors.

Speaker 3 (48:31):
Man.

Speaker 1 (48:31):
And if you like it, go ahead and do your thing.
I just don't think it's gonna be a winner. But
also stop pretending like we don't already win the loaded
baked potato contest. Right, you put a little salce on there.
You want to go ethnic, that's fine, little salce on
there's fine. I actually enjoy that a little bit. But no,

(48:51):
we're not putting tuna fish with can of baked beans.
It's not happening. We'll be back. Really, really really went
out of my way to do my research on you know,
and each and every stack I want to have a
well researched. But the Sydney Sweeney hate spent an awful
lot of time researching, re researching, did some additional research,

(49:13):
and then researched again this morning just to make sure
I had a handle on it, and because I'm still
trying to figure out how.

Speaker 2 (49:18):
She's a secret Nazi. But that's what we have the
internet for.

Speaker 1 (49:22):
So Sydney Sweeney, the actress, is the face of the
new ad campaign for American Eagle, and in it you
have photos of her in American Eagle clothes, jeans, tops,
you know, pretty standard stuff. Sometimes she's kind of like
she's the one she's laying on her side, chilling, she's

(49:42):
like doing like grabbing her leg and holding it up.

Speaker 2 (49:47):
Again.

Speaker 1 (49:47):
She's fully clothed, and because she's promoting clothes. There's another
one where she's got a dog there, and and people
are not dealing with this well, and we'll get to
the societal stuff here in just a moment, But let
me explain to you why they think it's a The
whole ad is quote filled with Nazi dog whistles. Did

(50:11):
they mean to include a bunch of Nazi dog whistles
in this? Because then I got to figure it out.
So first and foremost, ross, do you see what she's
wearing on the bottom half of her body? See what
those are? The denim the denim item there on the
bottom half.

Speaker 4 (50:26):
I believe those are genes.

Speaker 2 (50:27):
Right, Oh, would you say they're good jeans?

Speaker 1 (50:31):
I would, yes, mm hmm. Well you know what that means.
You know who else was really interested in people having
the right jeans?

Speaker 6 (50:38):
Right?

Speaker 4 (50:40):
Yeah, that's right.

Speaker 1 (50:42):
And this one with a dog, that's another it's a
dog that is an actual dog whistle, So that's fun.

Speaker 2 (50:49):
You know who else like dogs? Don't you? Hitler? That's right?

Speaker 6 (50:55):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (50:56):
So they're having a meltdown over this, But let's face
this isn't about what these weird dog whistles they claim
to find. This is about the fact that Sydney Sweeney
is hot, okay, but not even the weird Hollywood hot.
Let me just explain, and I'm not trying to be
pervy here, but I want to explain this why I

(51:18):
think people find her so physically attractive, and it is,
but because it's more than just her look. It's generally
how they perceive her. They perceive her as an actress
who is apolitical, doesn't really get into it, who doesn't
look like a plastic fun you know, like you know,

(51:39):
some twenty year old girl who's clearly had plastic surgery
or lip injections or a butt implant or any of
the rest. They see her as an excess ross. There's
a good word that ROSSI as who are talking off here.
They see her as inaccessible, even if it's only in
their dreams, accessible girl next door. And they find that
relatable and they find it refreshing. Because for the last five,

(52:02):
maybe ten years, and somebody did a side by side
on a bunch of these ad campaigns for like Nike
American Eagle and others. You were, you know, five years ago,
the people who were in the brands for American Eagle
were all body positivy body positivity, right, So you had

(52:22):
and it's not like you run the gamut. Nobody had
a problem with that. It's that every single model that
they were using and a lot of their advertising were
people who were profoundly overweight but treated in a healthy manner.
Nike was much more It was much more problematic for Nike. Look,
Nike should market to people who are overweight but want

(52:45):
to get in shape for their athletic stuff. That's fine,
But they just divorced themselves of people who were actually fit.
And it was very noticeable. And it's noticeable because all these.

Speaker 2 (53:00):
But He's just fall in line and they all do it.

Speaker 1 (53:02):
They would excommunicate anyone who looked quote unquote normal. So
this return to that for American Eagle. Do you see
what Nike's new ad is. Nike's new ad is Scottie
Scheffler winning the British Open and his baby crawling up
and holding grabbing his putter as Toddler and I believe
the line in the ad is you've already won, referencing

(53:26):
the fact that he's a family man. He's got you know,
we talked about this with Scotty Scheffler. The guy just
wants to go and be with his family. The guy
is Ross. Ross, if he was a professional golfer would
be Scotti Scheffler comes in, does his job, excels and
then wants to go home.

Speaker 2 (53:44):
That's a lot of people.

Speaker 1 (53:45):
And so Nike, instead of going with all the weird
nos ring stuff, went with Scotty Scheffler and his kid.
They leaned into the family aspect of it. An American
eagle decided they would get somebody attractive who looks good
in their clothes that people universally seem to like, and
some people just can't handle it. And uh, Ross, make

(54:10):
the point. You want to make the point that you
made just when we started this thing, before we came back.
How striking is it that people are so I can't
remember how you worded it, how I want to word it,
and I forgot what it was. Basically, it isn't it
amazing that putting somebody who's mildly attractive and it is
like a weird thing.

Speaker 4 (54:29):
Now it's super weird that now it's having this effect.
You're like, Wow, you're putting like, you know, a hot,
you know, white female into an ad and suddenly it's
like they're putting an alien in the screen, like, what
is this we haven't seen this before, which we did
for the longest time, but suddenly then it was like,
you know, you couldn't put it in the ad anymore.
And it's weird how she's different than say like because

(54:50):
they keep trying to push Sabrina Carpenter on people and
the way that they're pushing Sidney Sweeney, and it's not
having the same effect, at least not the same effect
I'm seeing in social media. And it's weird because you know,
you have Sabrina Carpenter and she's up and she's wearing
garters and she's humping everything, and it's still is not
the same.

Speaker 1 (55:05):
I saw the little short short thing where she stay
on the side of the road. It feels forced.

Speaker 4 (55:08):
It's completely forced. And I feel like the way I
feel about her is like Taylor Swift, like there's no
attraction attraction there and it's weird. But Sidney Sweeney Stey.

Speaker 1 (55:17):
Sweeney has done nudity and stuff like that, so she's
not an angel, but in the course of her acting,
but I don't generally see her running around in lingerie
outside of maybe a scene in a show, I.

Speaker 2 (55:29):
Guess, whereas Brina Carpenter.

Speaker 1 (55:31):
It feels like it's always on, and I don't know
anything about Sabrina. Maybe she's wonderful, but if I had to,
if you give me a choice to meet either of them,
and it's not even an attractiveness thing, it's just who
do I think would be a more interesting conversation, It's
gonna be Sidney Sweeney all day.

Speaker 4 (55:47):
Yeah, it's that girl next door sort of thing. Yes,
I think she reminds every guy of somebody you went
to high school with that was accessible.

Speaker 1 (55:54):
I was just telling you the girl that she when
I first saw her, I'm like, that reminds me of
this girl who was built very similar to Sydney Sweeney
but also looked a lot like her and gave.

Speaker 2 (56:04):
Me the same vibes.

Speaker 1 (56:06):
And so anyway, yeah, so now we got everything that
I don't like is a Nazi, which is not an
unusual thing. By the way, I was looking up some
other jacket potato because ross you didn't you didn't want
the tuna fish with the baked beans and the cheese
sauce right underloaded baked potato.

Speaker 4 (56:25):
Yeah, I'm gonna pass on that because the thought of
it makes me want to throw up. So yeah, I know.

Speaker 1 (56:29):
So if you see jacket potatoes, I just I think
we'll see probably one of these at some stand at
the state fair there it's some weird like, hey, look
at this thing we found with European cuisine and brought
over here. So jacket potatoes just British for a baked potato,
a loaded baked potato. But all right, so all right,

(56:50):
how about instead of that because you don't want you
don't want that, this one will have beans as well,
because I think beans are required. But instead of cheese, sauce,
caught it cheese, smoked whitefish or blood sausage or.

Speaker 2 (57:04):
Both, and pineapple? How about it? You want that?

Speaker 4 (57:08):
When I order, they want to put cottage cheese on
a big potato?

Speaker 1 (57:13):
Yes, you know what it reminds me of you ever
been around some weirdo who makes lasagna with cottage cheese
instead of ricotta?

Speaker 4 (57:20):
At that point, if that happens, see, I think you
have the legal right once again, a full disclosion on
a lawyer. I think you have the legal right to
burn their house down, don't you.

Speaker 1 (57:26):
Yeah, not with them in it. Let's be clear, right,
So you want to make sure that the food that
they're trying to serve us in at the lasagna.

Speaker 4 (57:33):
You're not going to see that in Tuscany, You're not.

Speaker 1 (57:36):
Yeah, you've never You've never come across somebody like, there's
a lot of people like what you go. I remember
going over to a friend's house and they're like, we're
having lasagna.

Speaker 2 (57:43):
I'm like, this is gonna be amazing. I love lazagna.

Speaker 1 (57:46):
And then you go over there and you see mom's
got a tub of cottage cheese, just putting it all together,
and you're like, I have to I'm sick.

Speaker 2 (57:52):
I gotta go home.

Speaker 3 (57:53):
Man.

Speaker 2 (57:55):
Ah, oh you don't want to poverty lasagn yet, I don't.
I'm good. I would rather have this yr olasagna.

Speaker 1 (58:02):
Oh man, all right, let's see uh okay, all right,
so you want me to read you from the menu
real quick?

Speaker 2 (58:11):
Just give me yeah your n A all right?

Speaker 4 (58:13):
All right?

Speaker 2 (58:13):
Baked beans and chocolate sauce.

Speaker 4 (58:15):
It's a pass.

Speaker 2 (58:16):
No sweet potato, al right, mixing it up PB and J.

Speaker 4 (58:22):
Wait wait, you just made my brain explode. Wait is
this like a real thing?

Speaker 1 (58:27):
Yes, yeah, I'm reading a menu from one of these
jacket But there's one of the big chains a sweet potato. Yeah,
So instead of like a russet, They use like a ya,
and then they put they you know, same thing, and
then peanut butter and jelly.

Speaker 2 (58:44):
What do you mean?

Speaker 4 (58:44):
No, straight to the Haig.

Speaker 1 (58:49):
Well it is closer to the Haig, all right, hold on,
hold on? Baked beans, coal slot and smoked white.

Speaker 4 (58:56):
What smoked fish? I feel like it's a South Park
human centipede thing with the cuddles. Just keep adding more
stuff to make it grossed out because they're gonna do
something too. Yeah, the cuttlefish. Do you want to do
vanilla pestfish?

Speaker 2 (59:13):
No?

Speaker 1 (59:14):
And by the way, the u this article by the
marketing here is they just want to point out how
much healthier these are than American style loaded baked potatoes,
because I guess I don't know whatever. All right, mashed
banana hold on and cottage cheese with or without Jalapano's

(59:36):
your choice. No, all right, well, I guess you get
to starve because none of these are for you. All right,
let's get raced agic from the weather channel so he
can roast and toast you go right ahead.

Speaker 4 (59:48):
From Ontic KC.

Speaker 7 (59:49):
Well, more of the same old, same old. I tried
to pull like a little piece of maybe positive news
out of this, Yeah, I mean instead.

Speaker 4 (59:58):
Of one o two or one oh one.

Speaker 7 (01:00:02):
Like it looked like maybe it would be last week
at this time, maybe only ninety seven today ninety eight.
Still hot and the Heaton dex is still gonna be
one o five to one ten extreme heat warning and
a heat advisory then for tomorrow, but the numbers are
down a little bit from what we are thinking last week.
So uh, shower thunderstorm chances afternoon upper nineties Heaton Dex

(01:00:24):
one oh five to one ten today to showerstorm early.
Then tomorrow the mid nineties, a low nineties for the triad,
and then Wednesday more the same mid nineties around up
maybe some upper nineties and small chances of rain later
the week. Big col Frond on the way. Not quite
yet Thursday, but by Friday. In the upcoming weekend we
may see highs in the upper seventies to low eighties.

Speaker 1 (01:00:45):
Well, if you kill everybody first, we're not anyway, all right,
As Ross said, thank you, Ray, As Ross said, straight
to the hague with you, We'll be right back. You
go to Starbucks. Let's just be clear, all right. Maybe
not all the time, but it's at least a possibility.
So she went into a Starbucks down in Texas somewhere
I don't can't tell which city anyway, So she goes

(01:01:07):
in there, she.

Speaker 6 (01:01:07):
Orders h.

Speaker 1 (01:01:11):
Macha, I don't even dude, I know nothing about these drinks.
She orders a drink, probably pays too much for it,
and she you know, gets her drink, starts drinking her drink.
Well it it's her mouth is bleeding among other things, right,
and some taste off, So she is very obviously, very

(01:01:35):
smartly stops consuming it and then goes through the drink
to figure out what the heck's going on and starts
coming up with metal shavings. And then as she digs
further down in the bottom is one big chunk of
what used to be one of the barista's name tags
which has metal in it, which I guess had went

(01:01:58):
into the blender and was blended and then served to her.
She said that initially Starbucks offered her a thirty five
dollars gift card in an apology. I have a question,
how do you not know a metal name tag is
going through the blender?

Speaker 4 (01:02:14):
And you'd have to hear like the clinking, right you ever?

Speaker 1 (01:02:17):
You ever like trying to move something in a blender
with like a spoon and you get too close.

Speaker 4 (01:02:21):
For something some sort of So this past weekend, Marky
made some amazing banana bread with chocolate chips, right and
none of that, and so she's like, you know, mixing
it with her blender there. Yeah, And I had just
gone back from the range and I was still wielding
my sniper rifles again, and the tip of it just
went right into Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:02:42):
The sparks tip of your sniper riight the break.

Speaker 4 (01:02:45):
Yeah, yes, yes, okay, but I mean we could tell
you could see the sparks and it made the clanking, and.

Speaker 1 (01:02:54):
So one of your sniper rops doesn't have a break
on it anymore. You understand the strength of that particular
part of a rifle due to the amount of heat. Yeah,
but this was the right This was a quality mixer.
This is the Drew Barrymore mixer. Oh okay, it's solid.
Oh you didn't get the Gwyneth Paltrow mixer. The scented

(01:03:15):
one a little different. Yeah, don't get the scented one.
By the way, your food will taste off anyway. Oh,
I wonder if you put that on a jacket potato.
All right, Well, I'm sorry that happened to the part
that shouldn't fall off of your sniper rifle that you
don't have, So very very sad. But the blender's fine,
so that's that's good to know.

Speaker 2 (01:03:35):
Yeah, I don't know.

Speaker 1 (01:03:36):
I don't know how a whole name tag goes through there, man,
I figured that'd be quite noticeable. You know, we have
made fun of Gwyneth Paltrow over the years, mostly because
she put out a candle that smells like her nether
regions and then the jade egg, which if you don't
know what that is, I'll let you google that all
on your own, and then just other weirdness. What was

(01:03:58):
the There was one other really weird thing with her.
Goop was a company, Goop, right, but she'd made bank
off that. But also she's the ex wife of the
lead singer of Coldplay, so you remember all the insanity
with the astronomer stuff and all that with the CEO,
who I guess now says he's going to.

Speaker 2 (01:04:14):
Sue Coldplay, so good luck with that.

Speaker 1 (01:04:16):
But if you're astronomer this company which has parted ways
with both the CEO and the hr director and they're
at you know, they're in the tech world. It's all
about business flow software and things like that.

Speaker 2 (01:04:28):
You gotta do something.

Speaker 1 (01:04:30):
From a PR standpoint, this could kill your business. And
there's hundreds of employees and I got to tell you
this is real. This is a really smart, interesting direction
they went. They decided to bring on Gwyneth Paltrow as
an endorser for the short term, being the ex wife
of the lead singer of Coldplay. Hold on, come on audio,

(01:04:53):
here we go with the button bar. Nope, not hearing that.

Speaker 2 (01:04:59):
That's great.

Speaker 8 (01:05:03):
Here, thank you for your interest in Astronomer. Hi, I'm
Gwyneth Paltrow. I've been hired on a very temporary basis
to speak on behalf of the three hundred plus employees
at Astronomer. Astronomer has gotten a lot of questions over
the last few days, and they wanted me to answer
the most common ones. Yes, Astronomer is the best place

(01:05:27):
to run APATCHE airflow unifying the experience of running data
mL and AI pipelines.

Speaker 2 (01:05:34):
DELT.

Speaker 8 (01:05:35):
So many people have a newfound interest in data workflow automation.
As for the other questions we've received, Yes, there is
still room available at our Beyond Analytics event in September
we will now be returning to what we do best,
delivering game changing results for our customers. Thank you for

(01:05:55):
your interest in Astronomer.

Speaker 1 (01:05:58):
Honestly, I think that's as good as you could play it.
Man for eight eight eight nine three four seven eight
seven four, I'll get you on the show. So over
the weekend. Oh boy, you know what, I forgot to
put this in the stack, But that's going to play
into this. Do you guys remember the video in California?
I think it was Ontario, California, which is.

Speaker 2 (01:06:20):
On of a half.

Speaker 1 (01:06:20):
Hour east of LA trying to remember the map in
my head, but anyway, suburb outer suburb of LA.

Speaker 2 (01:06:29):
So you had you had.

Speaker 1 (01:06:31):
These Ice officials or Homeland Security or whoever was detaining
I think they were attempting to detain three Hondurania legal immigrants.
They were in a truck because whoever's truck it was
had a warrant for not immigration stuff, even something else,
and so they went busting out of it. One of

(01:06:52):
the dudes ran into a surgery center. He is not
a patient, right, It was just the nearest whatever he
could go ahead and run into. And then you have
these officers, these Ice officers follow them in there, and
all of a sudden, as the dude literally runs into
the back part of it right now, into one of
the not the waiting room area, but into the actual

(01:07:15):
surgery center part. You have these healthcare workers who post
up in the hallway and physically obstruct the officer from
getting in there, screaming that they can't come in here.
It's a medical facility and that's not how it works
now California. I don't know how they hold up federally,
but I do know they have regulations saying that you

(01:07:36):
can't go into a medical facility to remove somebody who
is a patient there. This dude is not a patient,
and these people know that, and two of them, a
man and a woman, decide they're going to fit now
physically obstruct put hands on ice officers. Well, on Friday,

(01:07:56):
they weren't playing. They were done. They issued fer felony
arrest warrants and snagged them both. Now, they had to
look for the woman for a while because she was
I don't know if she was intentionally not being at
home or if it was just the coincidence of it,
but they eventually did scoop her up as well, and
they're going to face felony obstruction charges because you don't

(01:08:18):
get to do that. And I know everyone thinks that
somehow they're empowered to do that, and there's going to
be a lot of finding out going on.

Speaker 2 (01:08:28):
And you know, like that.

Speaker 1 (01:08:29):
Judge who decided to sneak the dude out. Now, these
healthcare workers and others, I think they also caught the
dude as he was trying to enter Mexico who was
throwing rocks in that video at the Ice officers. So yeah,
they had a busy, busy Friday.

Speaker 2 (01:08:48):
Man.

Speaker 1 (01:08:48):
I point this out because we had our own little
thing in Durham. And if there's one thing that you're
going to quickly realize about these folks, and I will
warn you this audio is a little hard to here,
but I'll walk you through it. Like they're not sending
their best and brightest for these protests. So on Friday
they had this little, this little protest going on and

(01:09:13):
they were dismantled by two obvious questions. I don't even
think the person I don't know who asked the questions,
I don't think who asked them was trying to do
anything other than standard journalism. By the way, right, these
are not gotcha questions. These are really obvious follow up questions.
And it had to do with them, you know, wanting

(01:09:35):
to get in the way of the apprehension of an
individual who had shown up for court. And so they
had a little and they're the ones who put a
microphone or a little gathering together, called a press conference
and offered to answer questions while they stood in their
little unity pose and the most basic questions mystified them.

(01:09:57):
All right, you ready for this? This this happened in Durham.
And it's kind of funny actually, And now.

Speaker 9 (01:10:04):
There are questions for any of our speakers until they'll
we have you to answer.

Speaker 10 (01:10:10):
A question for anyone who wants to say, here we
have information the person ICE was looking for was accused
of domestic violence assault that they had been reported in
the past for a felly.

Speaker 2 (01:10:20):
How do you respond to them.

Speaker 9 (01:10:23):
We don't have.

Speaker 10 (01:10:26):
We don't have the ability.

Speaker 11 (01:10:28):
To respond to so, like we haven't talked to the family.
What about whether they would like to share information that
might kind of what Ice is saying. But what we
do know is that.

Speaker 9 (01:10:40):
ICE has done dozens of vacations this year, and this
has been documented by mainstream journalists across the country made
up stories about people that they were looking for that
they could then not substantiate with the facts or with
our records. So highly encourage everyone reading ices pressure this
is to take them with a very.

Speaker 4 (01:10:58):
Small lane of salt.

Speaker 10 (01:10:59):
The name we have, we did see that the person missed.
Therefore hearing today was for domestic folence assault. I mean,
how do you respond knowing that the person we believe
this is his accused of that.

Speaker 9 (01:11:12):
Everyone deserves to get justice here at port everyone, that's
what state you miss the law?

Speaker 3 (01:11:17):
I'll say, that's what you've asked.

Speaker 1 (01:11:20):
These people are absolute clown shows man. So again that guys,
those aren't gotcha. He's saying it's and then his response
is some conspiracy that ICE is making up these narratives.

Speaker 2 (01:11:32):
The guy who's.

Speaker 1 (01:11:33):
Asking the questions simply pulled the docket. He went and
he looked at identifiable public information, which you can search
out in North Carolina.

Speaker 2 (01:11:43):
I don't know where the.

Speaker 1 (01:11:45):
Previous deportation for a felony which state that emanated from,
but he had pulled that information. So this isn't something
ICE is making up in a press release. And you
were prepared to take questions on this individual incident when
you clearly know nothing what is I don't understand that. Well,
we don't know what the family has to say about that.

(01:12:06):
The family doesn't have an opinion whether there's a court
hearing or not.

Speaker 2 (01:12:10):
Do you know what I'm saying.

Speaker 1 (01:12:12):
The only the only person you should check with to
determine if there's a court hearing is the court, and
then they can verify there is, in fact or there
is not a court hearing. And it sounds like there
clearly is, and these guys were woefully unprepared to even
talk about it. It shows you just how this ain't
This is a This is not about any This is

(01:12:34):
not even about humanity. This is about a rejection of
public safety, and it be damned what the details are.
And it is a losing position because people are just
over it. People are just over it. And again this
goes back to basically shipping the problem into many of
these communities who didn't have to deal with it, and

(01:12:56):
now people are reacting. And it's not a bunch of
evil white guys. I don't know if you've seen a
Chicago City Council meeting lately, it's a bunch of clearly
black residents of Chicago, who are absolutely fed up as
their neighborhoods are being made more dangerous, as individuals who've
been in the country five minutes are receiving these benefits

(01:13:20):
which far outweigh any sort of assistance that they feel.

Speaker 2 (01:13:23):
They're entitled to.

Speaker 1 (01:13:25):
Whatever their motives are, they're upset, and rightfully so. So
if you want to stand there in Durham and you
decide that the case that you're going to make a
press conference over is somebody who has been deported for
felonious activity already came back into the country and then
decided to allegedly beat their spouse or girlfriend or whomever

(01:13:48):
it was. And your response is, well, we don't know
what the family's response would be.

Speaker 2 (01:13:54):
Like, You're not good at this. You want to get
one case.

Speaker 1 (01:13:59):
You want that case to have, you know, irrefutable facts
that show malfeasance on the part of the law enforcement agency,
and then you hammer it home. That's how you do it,
and sometimes you can overcome obstacles. George Floyd to be
a good example where some people said, well, technically, if
you look at the pharmacology and you look at the uh,

(01:14:20):
the autopsy, you know we need to talk about drugs
and then you go, no, we can't, but like that
is part of it. But they were successfully able to
lean into just the policing side of it in this case,
like there's no there's there's no video, there's nothing.

Speaker 2 (01:14:38):
You're you're you have decided to hold a press.

Speaker 1 (01:14:41):
Conference to stand on the steps of the courthouse there
to defend somebody who beats women.

Speaker 2 (01:14:48):
Probably allegedly.

Speaker 1 (01:14:50):
And if the previous I don't know again what the
previous charge was, If that's what it was and they
was convicted.

Speaker 2 (01:14:55):
Then does that's weird? Man holding your pro wife beater? Ross?

Speaker 1 (01:15:03):
Do you want to go to a pro wife beating
presser and stand there in solidarity?

Speaker 3 (01:15:07):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (01:15:07):
And I'm going to pass on that. Thanks.

Speaker 1 (01:15:08):
Oh you don't want to be on the steps like, ah,
no beaten women?

Speaker 2 (01:15:13):
That's fine. Come on, man, it's hardworking, this lunacy, but
thank you. There's a lot of bad ideas.

Speaker 1 (01:15:21):
You see Benjamin Crump over the weekend his new thing
now and let me, uh, Ross, you haven't seen this story,
so I'm curious. You're your your initial reaction. So Ben Crump,
you know the uh, the Jesse Jackson of our era,
right has decided that his.

Speaker 2 (01:15:36):
Next great thing is he's going to demand.

Speaker 1 (01:15:38):
Legislation that requires, uh, there not to be differences in
appraisals of homes that are similar, even if they're in
dissimilar neighborhoods or circumstances. So his claim is that if
there is what's what would you say, the whitest neighborhood
in wake Forest is what's that big one?

Speaker 2 (01:15:59):
I got lost.

Speaker 4 (01:16:00):
You're probably going like Heritage, all right.

Speaker 1 (01:16:02):
Let's go Heritage. And by the way, I'm just, I'm
just this is on perception. I don't have the statistics,
all right, So let's go. Let's say Heritage is pretty
pretty white, because this is what Crumb's say. And so
if you have a three bedroom home there in Heritage,
and then you go to I don't know, East Durham,
which isn't technically as the crow flies that far away right,

(01:16:25):
just going ninety eight there to get over, and there
is a three bedroom home that's in a neighbor in
the in a neighborhood over there, which is going to
have a higher percentage of more minority residents, that somehow
those homes should be worth the exact same because they're
similar homes. It's that's lunacy, because that's not the market

(01:16:46):
doesn't care.

Speaker 2 (01:16:47):
And I again I'm not I probably shouln't.

Speaker 1 (01:16:49):
Just use specific examples because people can pick that apart.
But everybody knows that if you're in a neighborhood that
maybe has access to a park, maybe has uh a
lot lower crime, has perceived better schools, has better stores around,
or access to certain things, that a home that is

(01:17:12):
in that neighborhood is likely going to be worth more
than a neighborhood which doesn't have any of those positives
and does struggle with crime or poor schools or any
of the rest. It's just the reality of things, and
it's not just as simple as a white and black thing.

Speaker 2 (01:17:28):
Right.

Speaker 1 (01:17:29):
You could pick the whitest, redneckiest neighborhood and rule North Carolina,
and I promise you that the homes that are in
similar you know, like three Let's say it's a standard,
you know, built three bedroom, two bath kind of home,
and you go into an inner ring suburb in Raleigh,
even if it's got a higher percentage of minority people,

(01:17:51):
is going to be worth more. So making this all
about race is just stupidity, And the net result of
that is now you have a home that he wants
a praise, a value that people are the market is
not going to be willing to pay for because the
market doesn't care what you appraise it at. You know
who cares what you appraise it at? The county for

(01:18:11):
the purpose of taxes and the what is the insurance?
The insurance you got to carry on your own not
just your homeowners but on your mortgage.

Speaker 4 (01:18:21):
I was going to say, can we go in the
opposite direction, right, so my house would be the same
as that house you're mentioning in Durham, So my property
taxes and my insurance would go down. So now I'm
paying less. That'd be great.

Speaker 1 (01:18:32):
Yeah, well that's the stupidity of this. So if now
I've appraised somebody's house and now they have to pay
more for it, but they can't sell it for what
it's a praise for, you're just screwing that person.

Speaker 3 (01:18:45):
That.

Speaker 2 (01:18:45):
Don't get me wrong.

Speaker 1 (01:18:45):
We all have a lot of people have complaints over
what the county assesses their house at. But it's lunacy man, like,
you're creating this problem and I think it's really just
for lawsuit purposes because they want to go out there
who's got the deep pocket. Well, let's let's let's sue
the real estate organization, right because all these mean realtors
keep selling homes for less than their praise value in

(01:19:07):
these communities because obviously they're racist, which is the dumbest
crap ever. A real estate agent is going to go
in and they're going to sell your home, and they're
going to attempt to, you know, properly assess what it's worth,
and then they're going to use that information, yes, to
try to maximize the amount of money they're going to
get for you if they're a good agent, like the
ones that we endorse here. But they can't just ask

(01:19:30):
for one hundred thousand more because Ben Crump thinks it's unfair.

Speaker 2 (01:19:35):
They get, they're not gonna it'll.

Speaker 1 (01:19:37):
Actually hurt their ability to sell the house, because you
know what happens when you go to sell a house
and it's priced far too much, you don't get any offers,
and then it sits on the market for a bunch.
Then you got to pull it off the market, and
then you put it back in. All of that's viewable,
all of that's traceable, and all of it is having
a negative net effect on the value of your home.

Speaker 4 (01:19:54):
Yeah, people are going to put an offer on that
house when you see how how expensive it is, like
how high it is, and then you do your o
their homework involved buying a home when you're like, what's
the school district, like what's the crime percent like around that?
And you're like, I'm not paying that much money for that,
that's nuts.

Speaker 1 (01:20:06):
Yeah, And then so now people see it and even
if you lower the price, they're like, why was this
thing sitting on the market so long? There must be
something wrong with it. Dude, time on MLS is a
net negative for you. It's not a good thing. And
now you're creating a scenario that literally would heighten the
possibility that that would happen. So you can, you know,

(01:20:30):
stir up some racial animosity here. People are pride people.
It's not to say that individual real estate buyers are
not going to go in and try toneecap people in
certain situations. Why do you think you see all those signs,
those weird like signs that almost look handwritten, are just
very generic. We buy homes for cash. How about those

(01:20:51):
people who call or text? You have a text I
get every month? Ross, I'm sure you do, Hi, it's
so and so from some scam scam of paloozic company somewhere,
and I want to buy your home, you want to talk,
you want to have a conversation, it's always some California
number or god knows. You think those people are there
to give you the most. No, they are trying to
fire sell you, and Crump wants to create a scenario

(01:21:15):
to make that easier to do. That's evil, man, that's
evil right there. So yeah, we had a whole lot
of insanity over the weekend, just crazy people.

Speaker 2 (01:21:25):
All right. A twenty two Oh.

Speaker 1 (01:21:27):
I got to talk about the gamer I tease that
at the beginning, some twitch streamer got struck by lightning.

Speaker 2 (01:21:33):
I guess, but I don't.

Speaker 1 (01:21:34):
I don't know if this is struck by lightning. He's okay,
But also it's kind of funny what his gamer tag
is his handle?

Speaker 2 (01:21:42):
So we'll get into that.

Speaker 1 (01:21:42):
And then what's going on with Kamala and the giant panda. Dude,
I don't I understand this is a Democrat thing. I
don't know, man, that's some weird video. You got to
get the furry vote?

Speaker 2 (01:21:55):
Is that?

Speaker 4 (01:21:55):
That was?

Speaker 2 (01:21:56):
It's funny. I was literally going to be the joke
I was going to crack.

Speaker 1 (01:21:58):
So maybe maybe that's what all they have left because
they weren't able to figure out how to talk to men.

Speaker 2 (01:22:03):
So they're like, remember they.

Speaker 1 (01:22:05):
Had the big conference, it didn't look like it's improved,
and they're like, oh, all right, what about the furries man?
So anyway, but I also think that many furries are
too self respectable to vote for this lunatic. So I'll
give him that, but we'll get into it next. So
I hang on, Cooper, excuse me, and if he has
his way, the next senator from North Carolina.

Speaker 2 (01:22:26):
The official videos are out.

Speaker 12 (01:22:28):
It wasn't always as hard because being in the middle
class meant something. You could afford a home, your kids
went to good schools, your job paid enough to cover
the basics, and most summers you could get away for
a few days.

Speaker 6 (01:22:41):
For the most part, life was pretty good.

Speaker 12 (01:22:44):
I'm Roy Cooper, and I know that today for too
many Americans.

Speaker 2 (01:22:48):
It's It's Cooper. So just everybody keep that in mind.

Speaker 6 (01:22:52):
The middle class feels like a distant dream.

Speaker 12 (01:22:55):
Meanwhile, the biggest corporations and the richest Americans have grabbed
unim i adginable wealth at your expense.

Speaker 1 (01:23:02):
Who overwhelmingly spent on behalf of the Democrats over the
last few cycles.

Speaker 2 (01:23:07):
So you know there's that.

Speaker 12 (01:23:10):
It's time for that to change. I grew up in
Nash County, working on the farm every summer.

Speaker 2 (01:23:16):
Yeah you've met.

Speaker 12 (01:23:16):
My mom was a public school teacher, my dad a
small town lawyer and farmer. It's where I started my family,
taught Sunday school for years and started my law.

Speaker 6 (01:23:26):
Practice that helped everyday people in small businesses.

Speaker 12 (01:23:31):
When you made me your Attorney General, I prosecuted criminals
and took on scammers, big banks, and drug companies.

Speaker 6 (01:23:39):
When you made me your governor, we.

Speaker 12 (01:23:41):
Balanced the state budget every year and worked with Republicans
to raise teacher pay, recruit thousands of better paying jobs.
You had expand Connecticut to more than six hundred and
fifty thousand working North Carolinians. But right now our country's
facing a moment as fragile as any I can remember,
and the decisions we make in the next election will

(01:24:04):
determine if we even have a middle class in America anymore.
I never really wanted to go to Washington. I just
wanted to serve the people of North Carolina, right here
where I've lived all my life.

Speaker 2 (01:24:17):
Those are not the Western half, gotcha.

Speaker 6 (01:24:19):
These are not ordinary times.

Speaker 12 (01:24:21):
Politicians in DC are running up our debt, ripping away
our health care, disrespecting our veterans, cutting health for the poor,
and even putting Medicare and Social Security at risk just
to give tax breaks to billionaires.

Speaker 6 (01:24:37):
That's wrong.

Speaker 1 (01:24:38):
That's an inherent lie. And he knows this one. His
beefs with Medicaid and not Medicare. But again, I've come
to expect no less.

Speaker 6 (01:24:46):
And I've had enough.

Speaker 12 (01:24:48):
I've thought on it and prayed about it, and I
decided I want to serve as your next United States
Senator because even now I still believe our best days
are ahead of us. I love North Carolina, and I
know you do too. I need you to be with us,
and I can't wait to see you out there.

Speaker 2 (01:25:09):
So who did he pray to Moloch?

Speaker 1 (01:25:11):
I mean, Ross, Did you notice anything missing from his
little biographical history? There any periods of time that might
be pertinent to you? Yeah, Carolina, I did, actually.

Speaker 4 (01:25:21):
Okay, all right, put it into rosse and it comes
back like around October, okay, of last year. There seems
to be some space there where he's not mentioning his
ac poblishments like you know, letting people you know, wait
and suffer there in western North Carolina after Helene. That
seems like a big issue.

Speaker 1 (01:25:35):
Okay, how about do me a favorite expand the search
range of your ross AI to about five years ago,
maybe twenty twenty ish. Anything else in there that maybe
he uh.

Speaker 4 (01:25:45):
Oh man, I'm looking. I'm looking at a lot of Yeah,
some tyrannical stuff involving COVID.

Speaker 1 (01:25:50):
Yeah, but it's not like he went he went they
went to a racetrack and arrested people.

Speaker 4 (01:25:54):
No, he actually did.

Speaker 1 (01:25:55):
Oh my gosh, what but those that's outdoors, you know,
it didn't or didn't matter. But he has He was
a good example of during the lockdowns of what we
should do right, never joining large groups or removing his
mask or do anything like that.

Speaker 4 (01:26:10):
Are you sitting down?

Speaker 2 (01:26:12):
I am.

Speaker 4 (01:26:12):
I think you should probably go prone, okay, just to
be safe. I'm concerned for your safety.

Speaker 1 (01:26:17):
Well, you're wielding rifle, Barrett rifles. I will do whatever you.

Speaker 4 (01:26:21):
Say and see it intimidating.

Speaker 2 (01:26:24):
One was missing the break on it. I don't know
what happened to that.

Speaker 1 (01:26:26):
So so you're saying there's a chance that that was
the thing that happened, But.

Speaker 4 (01:26:32):
I mean this thing, he's like, he's pointing out all
the problems. Is he aware that he was governor for
four years in eight years? Like, was he aware? It's like, oh,
oh the prices of this and the cost of this,
and it's really hard for you, dude, you were governor. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:26:46):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:26:47):
It's like that graph that came out from the Democrats
over the weekend where it showed the price of groceries rising.

Speaker 2 (01:26:52):
One of the greatest cell phone Yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:26:54):
And then they ended up deleting the posts. It was
a graph and it was like, oh, you know during
Trump at twenty twenty five, Trump is in office and
groceries are so high now because the trumpet shows this
graph and it's ridiculous, like starting in twenty twenty the
cost of grocery skyrocket. The graph goes way up, and
then it shows where Trump and people are like, well, but.

Speaker 2 (01:27:12):
It doesn't show where Trump. I just want to be clear.

Speaker 1 (01:27:14):
The graph, if you look at the very last date,
only goes to October of twenty twenty four. That's the
other cell phone part of that graph. So the entire
graph was showing them in power and groceries going up.
But the same thing here, Like, Bro, you were the
governor for eight years. You can't bitch and complain about
these things where you were the one in power. Yeah,
but he's run for federal office now and the Republicans
are in charge, Comel Ross. So what he's gonna tell

(01:27:39):
you is that it's just meaningless. I love the party
claims to have balanced the budget every year, and while
in a way fixing a signature he did, he also
let in vetos and he wouldn't sign the budget one year.

Speaker 4 (01:27:50):
Yeah, that's the other issue he let.

Speaker 2 (01:27:52):
It go into without a signature.

Speaker 4 (01:27:54):
He's gonna say, well, you know the issue there was
the legislature right in North Carolina. I had no power.

Speaker 2 (01:27:58):
Yeah, just just lunacy. All right. So there it is.

Speaker 1 (01:28:03):
I'll tell you what's funny as hell though, is there's
another little video he posted. You know, you know what
happens when some politician posts a photo of them and
there's like a whiteboard next to him, or they're holding
God forbid, they're holding a blank piece of paper or
one that has very little writing that you can just
quickly remember Michelle Obama where it was like save what

(01:28:24):
was it hashtag saved the girls or whatever, and she's
looking all she had a hashtag something save the Girls,
and I think it was for like, where's it the
girls with that weird African lader.

Speaker 2 (01:28:36):
I think the kidnapped.

Speaker 4 (01:28:36):
Yeah, I think that was for Coney.

Speaker 1 (01:28:38):
Yeah, it was Coney stuff. And immediately that becomes mimable
because people can. It's really easy, even if you have
almost no skills, where you can remove whatever was on
there and then just use the text insert function on
your phone to write whatever. Now she's holding a sign
for whatever they tie. They kind of did it with
Cony Barrett too, but you shouldn't do that. The video

(01:28:59):
version of that is this other video that Cooper put out,
and in it it's only eleven seconds. In fact, I'm
gonna play it on my phone, so I didn't have
Ros's throat in here.

Speaker 2 (01:29:10):
Well hold on, hold on, hold on, dude, iPhone is
so weird.

Speaker 1 (01:29:16):
Right now, it's this video right here, all right, if
that come over the mic, okay, yeah, you can hear
it one more time. And then there's his logo for
all right, Roy Cooper for North Carolina. So here here's

(01:29:38):
the thing. So I turned the dang sound off. Dude,
you almost have to restart the app sometimes, so it's
but it's just it's just eleven seconds.

Speaker 2 (01:29:49):
It's him coming into the frame.

Speaker 1 (01:29:50):
It's just a frame of a picture, and it's him
with the big old smile and he claps his hand.
Hey you we ready to roll and sits down. Do
you understand how easy it is to stitch something into
that shirt?

Speaker 4 (01:30:00):
Because after he says it's ready to roll, it goes
to the white you know.

Speaker 1 (01:30:05):
Yes, so right in between his logo, which you then
retained for the end, and after he goes let's go,
you stitch in like two girls, one cup goatsy. People
are gonna have fun with that. I'm not even suggesting it.
I'm just psychic in the in this front that it
is too easy to stitch. He was stitching all the
horribleness you can stitch in video of him walking with

(01:30:28):
the mask hanging off his ear. So for all of
you would be uh political warriors, that dude just handed
you a gift. I'm retweeting this. He just handed you
a gift. Drop in whatever horribleness you want in there,
show literal, Show that incident in Winston Salem where the
guy where the Sheriff's deputies are having to go pull

(01:30:52):
people out of the flea market and stuff you can.
You can put in whatever video you but whatever you
got bookmark you've been sitting in and you can create
a memes and I expect you to credit me with
hashtags or the show account. Send me your best at
Casey on the radio. Hold on, let me get this
uh all right. I tweeted it out and it's and

(01:31:16):
it just says.

Speaker 2 (01:31:17):
Boy, it would be awkward if people took.

Speaker 1 (01:31:19):
This video and then stitching things like two girls, one cup, goats,
he or any other horrible thing on the internet to
create memes. And that's now out there. And I know
some of you like to get into the memes and stuff.
So he just handed you a gift. Have a mucho
funo with that. Okay, all right, so that's crazy man.

(01:31:39):
Speaking of crazy.

Speaker 2 (01:31:40):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (01:31:41):
Ross thankfully did not get hit by lightning over the weekend,
but apparently some streamer in Raleigh did.

Speaker 2 (01:31:47):
But I don't know this Ross.

Speaker 1 (01:31:49):
It sounds less like lightning and more like surge, which
may have been prompted by lightning. And he said his
headphones buzzed and got hot. You've been on a board
where there's been a power surge.

Speaker 4 (01:31:58):
On the board.

Speaker 6 (01:31:59):
Yeah, I have.

Speaker 1 (01:32:00):
Yeah, so that's what this sounds like to me. But also,
this guy's name is Crispy Mate, a screen name is
crispy Mate. So like that feels self inflicted right there?
Hold on, we got a little uh here, we got
a little audience.

Speaker 4 (01:32:14):
I mean, obviously.

Speaker 13 (01:32:15):
Gamer Christian Howard was close to ending his online live
stream when he got quite the shock, a sudden flash,
followed by Howard bolting from his chair. The stream still live,
he returns and tells viewers, bro.

Speaker 2 (01:32:31):
I just got struck by lightning. I felt lightning go
through my earbuds.

Speaker 5 (01:32:35):
The gamer, who goes by the user named crispy Mate,
says he was wearing earbuds partially made out of metal
when lightning struck on July nineteenth outside his Wake County home.

Speaker 6 (01:32:46):
The shock inside caught on camera.

Speaker 13 (01:32:49):
When you watch the video back, I mean, what did
you think?

Speaker 1 (01:32:52):
Yeah, when I watch it back, I'm just I'm just
very surprised if you were to take like a gum
strip gag toy and his pull it and you get
that little zap.

Speaker 4 (01:32:58):
I got both the sensations. Then all my vision went white,
and then I'm bolted.

Speaker 2 (01:33:03):
Look, I'm glad dude's okay, I honestly am it is?

Speaker 1 (01:33:06):
It is? It is because somewhat humorous. Your name is
Crispy mate. But also he's wearing the earbuds. So I
don't know, Man, Roger, you're gonna have to step it up.
You want to compete with this kid. I think you
know I.

Speaker 4 (01:33:19):
Already have a schedule. It will not be outdone. So
this next week mark he's gonna tasee me.

Speaker 2 (01:33:23):
Oh my god, yes.

Speaker 4 (01:33:25):
But it's gonna come at any moment, Like, I won't
know when it's coming.

Speaker 1 (01:33:27):
Will it be the drive stunning or with the actual
the shoot shoot amounts?

Speaker 4 (01:33:33):
Uh both?

Speaker 2 (01:33:34):
Oh wow, that's awful.

Speaker 1 (01:33:36):
I was thinking you should also, maybe you should incorporate
your new found passion for going to the range with
going to the gym. Right You ever tried to drop
a group but one hundred yards upside down while you're
upside down on a leg press.

Speaker 4 (01:33:50):
I tried to do that on the elliptical with my
dual building sniper rifles, which we mentioned throughout the show today.
Everybody PRETI walk into the gym, people freak out.

Speaker 2 (01:33:57):
I bet those annoying high school kids don't talk. They don't.

Speaker 1 (01:34:00):
Yeah, we gotta go, man, all right, so yeah, you gotta,
you gotta, you gotta work up to that.

Speaker 2 (01:34:06):
Oh look at this.

Speaker 1 (01:34:07):
Sorry, let's get raced agic from the weather channels on
the phone because apparently he got struck by lightnings. Crispy Krispy,
Krispy Ray, Krispy Ray, because people want to burn effigies of.

Speaker 2 (01:34:19):
You right now.

Speaker 3 (01:34:20):
So yeah, yeah, Ross needs the name we got to
give him, like Krispy Critter or something like that. Elite
some when he gets tazed, we'll have to figure out
what we're gonna call him, right.

Speaker 1 (01:34:29):
Yeah, yeah, he's not holding those sniper rifles too, yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:34:35):
Right, yeah, but yeah, Krispy out there too. A couple
more days, actually three more days of this heat mid
upper nineties, like I mentioned earlier from last week where
we worked what we were thinking this week, at least
it's not one hundred, right, might feel like it, but
actual air temperatures won't be one hundred degrees, will be

(01:34:56):
in the mid upper nineties, a heated X value, So
we'll be at her over one hundred today being the
hottest day, maybe as hot as one oh five to
ten in the triangle for the try it so heat
advisors in extreme heat warnings. Maybe some thunder and lightning
this afternoons adds up for that same thing. For tomorrow,
a mid upper nineties and then load to mid nineties Wednesday.

(01:35:16):
By late week temperatures are going.

Speaker 6 (01:35:19):
To come down.

Speaker 3 (01:35:20):
We'll stay low nineties on Thursday, but by Friday load
to mid eighties and by the upcoming weekend maybe a
couple of days in the upper seventies to low eighties.
So been cool down coming after a few more hot
days this week.

Speaker 1 (01:35:31):
All right, thank you sir, Sorry about the lightning. We'll
talk to tomorrow and okay, right back, hang on.

Speaker 14 (01:35:38):
Well, good morning, casey. Quiet day today, but analysts say
this will be a pivotal week that could set the
tone for the rest of the year for the markets
and the economy. First and foremost is the Federal Reserve
meeting that wraps up on Wednesday. Central bankers are expected
to hold the line on interest rates, but investors are
hoping the statement released at the end of the meeting

(01:35:58):
will hint at a rate in the fall. We have
four days ahead packed with economic indicators, all leading up
to the release of the July employment report on Friday,
we have one at the movie theaters, but investors are
waiting for another. Fantastic four. Apple, Amazon, Meta Platforms and
Microsoft released their quarterly results this week, and of course

(01:36:20):
we could get news from the US China trade talks
in Sweden after a deal was reached with the European
Union over the weekend. A mega deal in the railroad
industry is reportedly close, now the biggest such deal ever
in the US. Sources say we could hear very soon
that Union Pacific has agreed to acquire Norfolk Southern. Don't
look for beef prices to ease anytime soon. The Department

(01:36:43):
of Agriculture says its mid year cattle tally was the
lowest in records going back to nineteen seventy three and
going from steak to eggs. Another report from the Department
of Agriculture says that when cage free eggs are available,
most shoppers buy them, even if it means pay more.
The agency says nearly half of the nation's egg laying
flock is cage free. Now that's a milestone. And Casey

(01:37:07):
Martha Stewart is no stranger to retailing, but until now
she has never opened her own stores. Women's where Daily
says Marquee Brands is quietly opened to Martha Stewart brand stores.
Fans will left to travel halfway around the world to
shop in them. Though both stores are in Dubai. Stuart
plans to be in Dubai for grand opening ceremonies in October.

Speaker 1 (01:37:28):
Casey, all right, thank you, Jeff, do appreciate it so literally,
just I don't know if you guys.

Speaker 2 (01:37:33):
Could hear that A wonderful a little power search on
my board there.

Speaker 1 (01:37:36):
So isn't that weird ross that that happened right after
we talked about that other thing.

Speaker 2 (01:37:42):
You know what I'm saying there?

Speaker 1 (01:37:44):
It is, Yeah, we have that, and then you claim
to have a bunch of tasers and then all of
a sudden, I get a surge. You understand why some
people might find that a little suspicious.

Speaker 4 (01:37:55):
Yeah, So, actually talk to Marky during the break and
I said, you need to get all the tasers because
I'm not gonna be outdone by this other twitch channel,
the Hayes for share Twitch. I'm not one for self promotion,
but that's my channel, the Hayes for shaff Twitch channel.
One word, So I'm like, you need tasers I'm gonna
ride the lightning on Friday and you're gonna taste me.
So she was like, that sounds great.

Speaker 2 (01:38:14):
It's a great idea, she seemed did she seem really enthusiastic.

Speaker 4 (01:38:17):
She didn't want to. She was like, I don't want
I'm like, you have to for the channel.

Speaker 3 (01:38:20):
Uh.

Speaker 4 (01:38:20):
So she looked for it and somebody stole the tasers.
They're gone. Oh no, they drop in the lake, right, yeah,
completely gone. So I upped the Annie because that's what
we do in the Hayes for shareff twitch channel. You know, Yeah,
that's my channel. So what we're gonna do is, instead
of lightning, uh, spontaneous human combustion next this weekend on
Friday on my channel. Now it's spontaneous, so I can't

(01:38:41):
tell you what time it's going to be or when
it's gonna be, but I'm gonna be bursting into flames right.

Speaker 1 (01:38:48):
Well, it's spontaneous, though, So how much time do I
have to invest.

Speaker 4 (01:38:51):
The entire the entire stream just sit there and watch
the entire thing? Uh huh. I'm sure even if it happened,
ari I want to report on it because they're biased,
they'd be like, it feels like.

Speaker 1 (01:39:00):
If you burst into flames or I burst in I
feel like they would though, right probably as the main story.

Speaker 4 (01:39:08):
It's a shame about the tasers, it is.

Speaker 2 (01:39:11):
Yeah, that's really it's really strange.

Speaker 4 (01:39:13):
But this, this is the world we live in. Their thieves.

Speaker 1 (01:39:16):
Oh it's so now you're claiming they were stolen, Yeah,
they were stolen. Did they get your sniper rifles that
you do wield dual wield Those
