Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
I have. I gotta tell you. Normally, I I, uh,
you know, go I probably try to go to maybe
six or seven of the websites, uh in the morning
that I use for prep at night and some breaking
news stuff, just to see what's you know, what's cooking.
What insanity ensued after I got all the prep cent

(00:22):
to ross the night before, just so we're topical in
the morning. And uh, every every single news site's talking
about what the Trump administration is going to do with
d C today, So and you know, what's that? What
what is that going to? Look? Like you were talking

(00:43):
National Guard, We're talking and and and I admit I
don't fully understand the oddity that is d C and
the influence because we're not talking about any American city.
We're talking about the one that resides in this federal district.
And and so the powers that the Trump administration have

(01:05):
are actually greater. So I'm just warning you because there's
gonna be a lot of analysis where people like they
treat DC like it's Los Angeles, like it's New York.
And look, we've already seen what the Trump administration has
been able to do in Los Angeles, bringing in you know,
National guard bringing in the Marines, right, DC, they have

(01:25):
a lot more flexibility, So prepare yourself not for what
they're going to do. We'll talk about that and we'll
see if it's successful. Maybe it is, maybe it isn't,
But prepare yourself for the coverage. That's what you need
to prepare yourself for. There's gonna be a whole lot

(01:47):
of pearl clutching. They'ren be like, oh my gosh, they've
got troops around Washington, d C. This is like, this
is like Gaza or whatever it is. Those are gonna
be the comparisons. Just I'm just warning you. We have
a we have a pretty good track record for being
psychic on this show.

Speaker 2 (02:06):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (02:07):
And that's more it's less that we're psychic and more
that this is really easy analysis. Right. You have to
want to get it wrong to not realize how they're
gonna cover this. That being sad you should have beaten
up Big balls, Roz. Is it a little funny that
we're here because they beat up big balls. That's what

(02:29):
triggered this. That is what that is what literally triggered this.
And it may have been in the works, but big
Balls gets beat up. Trump's gonna go all law and
order on DC. I again, it's just putting these words
together you never thought you would formulate.

Speaker 3 (02:48):
There's an old intern, like promotions intern. Her name is
Kate and she lives up in DC, and like two
weeks ago she made a post on Facebook about how
she was mugged and kicked in the head, and then
she's done a follow up up post talking about, hey,
you know, at least you know it was a member
of DOGE. But at least now somebody the attention is

(03:09):
on the problem, so something will be done about it.

Speaker 1 (03:11):
So yeah, yeah, man, they should have touched the big balls. Man,
you mess with big balls, you get the horns. So
that's where we are today. Man. So look, look, whatever
whatever the trigger is, they are, they have been selling
whatever the announcement is going to be today. And and

(03:32):
Trump had like a bunch of meetings yesterday evening. And
because the White you know, the White House Press Corps
is there, they're documenting who's popping in and popping out,
like he was meeting with everybody, everybody on a Sunday evening.
So what this is going to look like, what the
announcement is going to be today will be very interesting.

(03:53):
At the very least they're going to bring in national Guard,
then the media is going to pretend that national Guard
has never been brought in, which is just not the case.
The National Guard has been deployed in DC for a
variety of reasons, many, many, many reasons over the years,
except when Trump requested the National Guard for January sixth,

(04:15):
and both Nancy Pelosi and Muriel Bowser, the mayor of DC,
said no, I don't think so, that would have been
one other time.

Speaker 3 (04:24):
It's so weird.

Speaker 1 (04:25):
Yeah, it's strange, isn't it.

Speaker 3 (04:26):
They're busy.

Speaker 1 (04:27):
I guess well, you got, yeah, man, you know you got.
It's the first part of the year. You probably maybe
you've committed to a new health initiative, right, New Year's resolutions,
So you're staying on your grind. You don't have time
for that before. You don't show up for a week again.
So we'll see, we'll see what's happening there, all right. Also,

(04:50):
also speaking of things you never thought, words you never
have to formulate, or things you wouldn't have to watch
CNN making my day a w NBA.

Speaker 4 (05:01):
He's cracking down on dildos being thrown onto the court
during games. The sex toys have shown up six different
times from Atlanta to la posing a risk to players.

Speaker 5 (05:12):
It's ridiculous, It's dumb. It's also dangerous. And though player
safety is number one, sure, respecting the game, all those things,
I think it's really stupid.

Speaker 1 (05:25):
All right, hold on, I'll let that go. So player
safety is number one. I don't know. I saw one
of your players who gets beat up every time she's
on the court. What do you think is worth threatening
to her the other players or Dildo's just wonder what
is this?

Speaker 4 (05:41):
Who's responsible for starting this trend? Apparently a crypto meme
group which calls them pranks. But those pranks have so
far resulted in two arrests, and it raises the debate.
Is it a sexist stunt? Is it some sort of
rite of passage that every league experiences something like this?
What is going on?

Speaker 1 (05:59):
Well, well, clearly people are throwing sex toys on. I mean,
what do you mean? What do you mean? What's going on?
We have video They are contemplating and I'm not making
this up. They are floating or talking about the possibility
of not letting fans in for however long it is

(06:20):
to quell the problem, Like.

Speaker 3 (06:22):
It's like during COVID, like you can't let people in.

Speaker 1 (06:25):
Yeah, you had to go. Remember the NBA went to
the bubble or whatever they're calling down there. The NFL too,
Remember that it was super weird. Yeah, hardboard cutouts in
the crowd. Yeah, man, that's just it felt wrong to
do that. And they know. The weirder one was when
they put the like all the iPads in there and
then people's faces run them so strange. So yeah, they
are actually talking about not letting fans in if they

(06:48):
keep throwing things. I will tell you this is their
own unique version of this. Fans throwing stuff on the
field of play is not a new thing. In fact,
what were you gonna say?

Speaker 3 (07:01):
No, it actually the same exact thing happened at a
Bills game.

Speaker 1 (07:05):
Right, yes, yeah, and that was a sex story. But
when you go to other stuff, in fact, it is
so it became part of the game. Just hear me out.
So in in hockey, uh, in hockey in Detroit, they
throw squid on the ice. Okay, that's the thing, and

(07:29):
it's in it's seen as cool. I do not describe it.
It's it's it's seen as as a thing. That is. Uh,
that is a storied part of the franchise. It's just
so weird, man. So so you got the problem is
is you guys freaked out about it. I would just
point this out like you freaked out now to the

(07:53):
point people are like, I guess I might have to
go and throw us x way on the court, like
it's the Streisand effect, and so I don't know, maybe
you do have to do that. But this is gonna dude,
I'm telling you the analysis that's going to be on this,
it's going to be amazing. W n b A.

Speaker 4 (08:12):
He's cracking down on dildo's being thrown onto the court during.

Speaker 1 (08:16):
I can't even, I can't even.

Speaker 3 (08:19):
Did you see the one guy there looking for that
was wearing the Beavis and butt headshirt? And did you
see the New York Posts had an article about, Yeah,
what it was weird was he looked like Beavis, Like
it looked like Beavers.

Speaker 1 (08:31):
He might have a copyright.

Speaker 3 (08:32):
Play wearing the Beavis and butt Head shirt. And then
in the corner they blurred out the green right like
like you can't what is that?

Speaker 1 (08:40):
It's a mystery. I've noid Beavis about Edwards straight up?
Do that? Yeah, one hundred percent. Man, they could do
a whole episode around that. So yeah, that these are
the two stories we start with, so digest, we'll be
right back. There's also, uh, you know, just a thing
get fired up here. On our Monday morning, there was

(09:03):
a very interesting report put out by the United Nations
over the weekend, clearly buried, you know, buried in the
news cycle, and it had to do with what's you know,
the the famine in Gaza, Okay, which isn't It's not

(09:27):
a famine per se. And of course the some of
the reports had the really really like skinny kids that
have already been debunked by the New York Times. Ask yourself,
when you see a picture of some kid who looks
like one of those kids from the Old Feet Africa commercials,
why the adults they're with look healthy? That should be

(09:48):
that should be your first clue, okay, Or it's a
kid's only famine. I guess, I don't know. But it
had to do with, you know, the food because you know,
Israel was being criticized for air dropping food into Gaza,
but the United Nations actually deteriorate they so they wanted
to do an investigation, right because and they started it with. Obviously,

(10:08):
the Israelis are trying to starve the people of Gaza.
So the UN put a report out investigating that. And
the problem is the problem is when you crunch the numbers,
a very different story emerges. All right, So according to

(10:28):
the UN's July data, Okay, this is July, all right,
there were one thousand, one hundred and twenty three trucks
full of food. One thousand, one hundred and twenty three
trucks full of food. How many of those trucks do
you think actually made it to the people of Gaza? Okay,

(10:53):
in the standardway where they were able to get out
there and distribute food items one twenty three ross. Let's
go ahead and do this. So there's one thousand, one
hundred and twenty three trucks. How many successfully made it
to the people of God?

Speaker 3 (11:08):
All right, I'm gonna say a thousand, bob thousands?

Speaker 1 (11:11):
Oh no, no, no, it's lower lower, nine hundred bob lower.

Speaker 3 (11:14):
I'm gonna go out, I go seven to fifty buck.

Speaker 1 (11:17):
It's a good guess. But that's it's lower six hundred
bum uh nope, nope, doubt that, five hundred bub No.

Speaker 3 (11:24):
What about what about two hundred and fifty bump.

Speaker 1 (11:27):
Oh dreaming less. Oh no, seventy.

Speaker 3 (11:33):
Three Oh, I'm so close, man.

Speaker 1 (11:36):
Six point five percent of the trucks actually made it.

Speaker 3 (11:40):
That is my new favorite thing to do in the show.
I can't express to you how much joy that actually
brings me.

Speaker 6 (11:44):
This.

Speaker 1 (11:44):
Oh that's great, that's great. Yeah, I saw were totally
using this for this. Yeah. According to the UN's own
reporting of the one thousand, one hundred and twenty three trucks,
one thousand and fifty five were intercepted. They use the
word intercepted. I'm gonna use the word hijacked by armed actors.

(12:07):
Read that as hamas or other folk. Yeah, to essentially,
you know, feed troops and things like that. So only
seventy three trucks actually arrived at their where they were
going to distribute and were able to distribute. Damn Israel.
Why would they do this? Yeah, so save it if

(12:31):
they want, if they're gonna I don't know, maybe the
air drop's not even as successful. I guess maybe that's
spread out, it's harder to hijack just because they were
dropping so many. I don't know, man, But again, these
are the UNS numbers which will be largely ignored by
people who you know, want to have their own narrative obviously,
But yeah, man, honestly, if you'd ask me, I would

(12:54):
have assumed it was only about fifty percent getting hijacked
or even sixty percent, not ninety three and a half
percent just taken, never reaching their destination where they're supposed
to go. It's and again, well they'll have you know,

(13:16):
they'll still do the things where they criticize and say
it's Israel. But this is in case you're wondering why
the Israelis are going to go in and occupy Gaza,
this might have something to do with it. They're simultaneously shippy,
Oh no, I'm sorry, those are the UN trucks. That
doesn't even account for what the Israelis are doing on
their own, which is in excess of this. That's the UN.

(13:40):
That's the UN who's like, oh no, we're from the UN.
We're here to help. They're like, get out of the truck,
got in your face, and there you go. So pretty
devastating number this morning to come across. All right, coming
up on the show, let me give you a little
little rundown here. We got one. We got a dude,

(14:00):
who is prime for a wood chipper Man, Dude, the
story of Texas is so creepy. We got a bunch
of stories out of Texas today. I don't know what's
going on down there. We got the the Goo they're
calling him the Goo Goo got goa man, And that's
not because he's a fan of the Goo Goo dolls. Okay,

(14:22):
it's far darker than that. And the mayor of Arlington,
Texas is a lunatic. I had no idea. I mean
an absolute lunatic. And his name is Jim Ross, which
is an insult to Jim Ross's if I could just
throw that out. But the video, and this video is

(14:48):
from twenty eighteen. Man, the video that emerged of him
just blowing up on a I don't know if the
guy was a protest I guess he was a protester,
or he was a street preacher. Technically, I don't know
if you protest. It's very so he was a street
preacher in New Orleans. And it was during a big

(15:09):
LGBT gathering in New Orleans, so it's not even in
the city. This guy's the mayor of and this guy,
this this mayor decides to just go off on this dude,
and to say it's not flattering, it's a bit of
an understatement. Yes, CNN story we had for you this way,
so if you didn't hear. Literally Friday, league officials for

(15:31):
the WNBA were saying that it is a possibility that
maybe they just don't let fans in because of well.

Speaker 7 (15:38):
This c w NBA.

Speaker 4 (15:40):
He's cracking down on dildo's being thrown onto the court
during games. The sex toys have shown up six different
times from Atlanta to la posing a risk to players.

Speaker 1 (15:49):
All right, so that's what's going on. That's the thing.
They're like, well, why don't they just have security? I
explained this Friday. Okay, why don't they just have secure
aready pat people down or do a more thorough screening.
They've already not allowed bags in because if somebody really

(16:10):
wants to get one in, they're gonna do it because
of how hideable it is. Am I making sense? Do
I have to go into details here? I don't care
how aggressive your pat down is. If somebody really wants
to get one in and is committed, there is a

(16:34):
way to smuggle it. Do I need ross? Am I
making myself clear as to what I'm intimating here.

Speaker 3 (16:44):
Yeah, I think we've all thought it too.

Speaker 1 (16:46):
Yeah, So that's why that's why nobody wants to say.
It's really funny when nobody will literally say these things.
Because let me give you an example. On the Bill
mahershow this weekend, they had even a Smith, doctor Phil.
I'm trying to remember who else was on that panel,
and mar and Smith and Phil and every everybody knows

(17:10):
the answer to this question. And it's just there's something
amusing to me of a group of people all standing
around or sitting around. In this case, everyone knows the
answer and yet no one will say it. And it's
and it like STEMIs the whole conversation because nobody will

(17:34):
say it, because there still is some of that. And
I think Mar knew it. He just wanted one of
his panelists to say it, and nobody would say it.
All right. So, and it had to do with the
numbers from Pete Boodhajidge, some of the early polling Boothajudge
right now is the leader of possible Democrat contenders for

(17:54):
the next presidential election. All told, I think it's about
fourteen percent or something. But there is a bit of
a problem if you are a Democrat running and well,
I'll just let them explain it and then not explain it.

Speaker 2 (18:07):
Okay, Democratic primary voters sixteen percent, which word boodhajege. That's
the highest of any candidate, Pete Bootagege.

Speaker 3 (18:14):
I don't believe it.

Speaker 8 (18:15):
Wait, I think that. I think that's just a poll number.
I can't see that happening.

Speaker 2 (18:17):
Well, okay, but wait, sixteen percent black voters? Zero zero
You don't usually see zero anywhere. Zero's low.

Speaker 3 (18:30):
For Botajet.

Speaker 2 (18:32):
I'll explain that. I mean, why do black voters have this?
I mean he's a nice guy. Yeah, he's under indexing
a little bit with the black voters.

Speaker 8 (18:42):
Show a little what.

Speaker 2 (18:44):
Is that all about?

Speaker 7 (18:45):
He doesn't move us, the whole audience. Those I respect
the man I've interviewed him for a very nice man,
highly intelligent.

Speaker 3 (18:56):
But you gotta be able to move us.

Speaker 8 (18:58):
Broull.

Speaker 7 (19:01):
You can speculate as to why that is.

Speaker 3 (19:03):
I'm not going there. He doesn't move us. Yeah, is
that it?

Speaker 1 (19:09):
He just doesn't move you. I Look, here's the deal.
If you guys want to if you want to lean
into an election and pretend why you don't know why
that number is what that number is? Republicans are going
to be ecstatic. If you make Pete Bodhajig your guy
your nominee, he's gonna lose. And unless the Republicans run

(19:35):
somebody crazy, they're probably gonna run Vance, who I have
a hard time seeing Vance having a major misstep. So
good luck with that, I'll say it. Black voters and
we have seen other pulling with this, have a problem

(19:56):
with a gay white guy. Just is what it is now.
I don't think it would be zero percent the totality
of the election. I think at some point then you
just you rally behind. But the absolute apathy that you
would have among a very important voting block for you,
you can't ignore it. And by the way, to say
that they don't think of things like this, well you

(20:18):
saw what happened with the VP selection. Although they would
never say that out loud, where they didn't, I'm expected
to believe that they went with Tim Walls because he
had a fun he asked for a fun drink, the
diet mountain dewer or whatever. No, you didn't go with
Shapiro because you realize that a bunch of lunatics in
your party were going to have a problem with you.

(20:39):
Having a Jewish guy. Well, the fact remains, this is just,
this is just these are the numbers, and you're gonna
have a big, uphill battle in getting black voters, especially
black men, to vote for a gay white guy. It's
just the reality of it. You can people go, well,

(20:59):
that's not it's not right. I don't care if you
think it's right or not. It's reality. So it'll be
very like, it'll be very interesting because Buddhage it can
be extremely likable. Man. I remember I remember when they
first kind of had him in there. I'm like, okay,
he seems nice enough. I mean, he's got a lot
of bad ideas, but uh, you know, probably palatable. And

(21:22):
then he went a little crazy with the dot stuff.
But you know, ultimately he he in persons, well, people
like him when they get to talk to him, so
that will propel him among most of the most of
the people within your uh within your party. Are you
just going to ignore twenty percent of your voters or whatever? Whatever?

(21:47):
I didn't I didn't see where it was the last selection,
but that's historically kind of the percentage that it is
of Democrat actual voters. Are you just going to ignore that?
Good luck? With that man. But yeah, to watch that
whole I'll just sit there and uh oh, I don't know.
I don't know. I don't know what's going on. Well, see,

(22:07):
you better figure it out or nominate the guy and
see what happens. Man, We'll wait and see, all right.
Uh six forty one Ross. Did you watch any football
over the weekend? Do you catch any of it? Quite
a few stories?

Speaker 3 (22:20):
Actually didn't. I felt bad because on Sunday, I'm like, yeah,
Bill's played today, even though preseason my wins that game,
and I'm like, oh, it was yesterday. I missed it.

Speaker 1 (22:29):
Yeah, Bills were the first game Saturday and the Vikings
were the second, so I went and caught both. So
but it's preseason two, right are you? Are you content?
Then with the post op that you've read, you guys
suffer any injuries? The Philadelphia Eagles their big linemen went down, so.

Speaker 3 (22:47):
A no kiss preseason. But also I, yeah, I'm happy
that nobody was injured, so that's good.

Speaker 1 (22:52):
Okay, but there was There was a few other things,
including what happened with the Detroit Lions the Atlanta Falcons
and I I'm gonna be the a hole here, but
I don't think I'll be in the a hole. So
if you don't know what happened, yes, it is preseason
and during the preseason game, one of the players for

(23:13):
the Detroit Lions, his name is Maurice Norris. It looked
like it looked really ugly, and so they had to
do the whole stretch or they had to brace his
neck right, and it's one of those You're like, oh
my gosh, that's just awful. And I will tell you
that he did get the hospital. He had feeling in

(23:33):
his extremity, so you know, thankfully it wasn't anything along
those lines. However, after he was taken off the field,
there is there's about twelve minutes left in the fourth quarter.
That just started the fourth quarter. Both teams agreed to
snap the ball and just let the clock run out

(23:55):
on the game. With twelve minutes left, weren't gonna play
they now they went for six minutes, and then the
league just suspended play at that point, and everyone's like,
what a touching piece of humanity here. Isn't this great?
I'm glad the dude's okay, But no, no, it's not. Look,

(24:19):
injuries are part of the game. That's why you all
are so highly compensated. And yes, I understand it's preseason.
I got it, dude, betting Twitter was beside themselves because
I'll never bet on a preseason game because it's preseason.
You gotta be a loving but a lot of people
do and a lot of people just lost a lot

(24:41):
of money on that. So that's one. But if you
even if you get away from that, the idea is,
this is the game that you play. There's certain things
that the fans want to see, even in preseason. And
by the way, people buy tickets to go to preseason.
When I had season tickets, they were they were part
of the season ticket package and they had a listed price.

(25:06):
When I was when I lived in Minneapolis, I had
Viking season tickets. So no, no, I'm sorry. You got
to play the game, man, So am I wrong? Here?
Am I am? I rossmya jerk? Here? Like I'm not
insensitive to the guy, but like everyone knows what they
signed up for, and that's the that's to play football, man,

(25:29):
So go play football. You're not just ah, we're gonna,
We're just gonna, We're just gonna sit this one out. Okay, Well,
what what would preclude other teams from doing that in
the preseason. I mean, obviously you're not gonna pull in
the regular season, I hope, but uh yeah, so I'm

(25:50):
gonna take this happy story and just be a jerk.
But I don't know. Whole things seemed weird to me,
and they're right. Look, there was other good stories that emerged.
The Jacksonville kicker made a seventy yard few, that's right.
I remember when I thought, h remember when only Jason
Elam had a sixty yarder, like this is what twenty
years ago, and everyone's like, there'll never be another sixty

(26:11):
yard I.

Speaker 3 (26:11):
Don't understand how they're consistently making these long field goals now.

Speaker 1 (26:15):
It's yeah, it was stuck right around the sixty yarder forever,
and now there's a there's a bunch of dudes who
kicked sixty yarders and this dude just kicked a seventy
What happened? The ball hasn't changed, has it is? It
just is the training that much better? I don't know.
They still look like they're they're kicking in the same
fashion they've been kicking for years. So how these guys

(26:37):
get in ten more yards that? I don't know? But yeah,
I was impressive to see. I will say that, Oh, Ross,
you see the Tom Brady statue that they.

Speaker 3 (26:47):
Yeah, I did. There is no way that dude is
really that tall.

Speaker 1 (26:52):
Yeah, well, you know, look that that is true. I
don't know, man, it proportionally it looks off. I'm not
saying it looks like the witch doctor dude in Beetlejuice
with the little tiny head. You can judge that for yourself.
I did tweet it out. You can go check.

Speaker 3 (27:14):
But not, I don't know.

Speaker 1 (27:17):
There's something off about it. And to Ross's point, they're
clearly lying about his height. So that was that was amusing,
and it would be.

Speaker 3 (27:26):
The first time that organization has lied about.

Speaker 1 (27:27):
Something, especially in relation to Tom Brady. Yang.

Speaker 3 (27:31):
Yes, that's what I'm saying. Yeah, I mean it's par
for the course.

Speaker 1 (27:35):
So it's in keeping with tradition. Okay, all right, that's fair.
That's fair. But I did get a good chuckle by
that also, dude, I I gotta find the video retweet it. So,
I don't know if you saw over the weekend the
first female umpire behind the plate ever in a Major
League baseball game, and she blew the first pitch. It

(27:57):
was nowhere near the strike zone, and she did the
big strike thing. The very first pitch she got it
wrong and then they had to stop. And then they
took the baseball because it's a historic baseball now and
if you watch the video, it's not even close, like
it almost hits the batter in the batter box. In
the batter's box. She's like strike, although with the not

(28:21):
as deep a voice. So yeah, there's a lot of
sports over the weekend, all sorts of interesting stuff to
entertain one's self with. All right, eight eight eight nine
three four seven eight seven, before you want to weigh
in on them, just the players just deciding they're not
going to play, I'm curious if you won.

Speaker 3 (28:40):
I mean, I mean, let's be completely honest here in
regards to that. Rightly, yeah, if it was a regular
season game, they would not have done that.

Speaker 1 (28:46):
Correct, absolutely correct. But again, you sold tickets to people.
People are there.

Speaker 3 (28:55):
Right right, And what I'm saying is they're acting is
if it's this big, you know, you know, check out
the lions and the foul. They understand there's more important
things in a game, and they're yeah, they show off.
You know, the bonds we have as human beings and
this is the right of being human and humanity and yeah,
but you know what would have happened in a regular
season game.

Speaker 1 (29:15):
None of this, absolutely humanity would not be a discussion.
So I don't know, Maybe I'm just ahead of the curve,
all right, six forty nine, Hang on, but players not
playing and it probably doesn't occur to most people, but
mean and media, it does. You still have spots that
are sold for broadcast. So contractually the NFL team has

(29:39):
signed a deal with whoever their broadcast partner has charged
them a bunch of money. In most cases, right, those
broadcast rights are generally not free, and so the way
that that money's then made is whoever the broadcaster is now.
To be fair, I'm speaking only for me. I don't
know the deal that those that those two organizations have
with their b cast people. I even know if they're

(30:01):
with my company or not. But I'm telling you there
are there is spots that are then to play, and
if you have no game to play them, you know,
over the top of they're inherently invaluable or not valuable
anymore or less valuable. So like there's there, this is
a business is against the point that I make you know, okay,

(30:22):
all right, I let me grab a call Don. What's up, Hey,
good morning.

Speaker 6 (30:27):
How are you guys doing good?

Speaker 8 (30:29):
Yeah?

Speaker 6 (30:29):
I would just I would just remember back when I
graduated in nineteen eighty five from Garner High School, and
of course our mascots were the Trojans, and our arch
enemies was this game yor city called Kerry, and of
course they would always bring out grits and they would
pour it out all over the court and everything. We
played basketball, and we would always go down to Earth
Seafood and get some fresh fish and at some of

(30:52):
our mascots, the Trojans, and throw those out when they
were doing their cheerleader myths, halftime routines and so forth
like that. So this has been going on for the ages,
and it's not gonna stop.

Speaker 1 (31:02):
Yeah. Yeah, the w NBA has thrown a hissy fit
over it, and they're just gonna get more of it.
If they keep doing that, they should just ignore it,
that's all. Do it better, just you know, internally, and
thanks for the call. Theres they're just internally, you know,
do no bags, you know, do what you have to do.
But if you keep posting videos and having press conferences

(31:23):
about it, then more people are going to do it,
because that's how trolls thrive. Look, if you don't give
trolls attention, trolls don't troll. Man. It's very simple. It's why.
It's why on Twitter, I just I don't understand people
lean into trolls. Just ignore them. This is it was

(31:46):
the best advice that Joey Swollen never took. If he'd
ignored the people who are upset with him over the
whole Coga and thing, none of that would have happened.
Of course, now he's back just doing normal stuff, but
so that didn't last very long. But don't feed the
trolls is a phrase for a reason. If somebody throws
one of those, don't make a big deal about it.
Just go ahead, have one of your you know, your people,

(32:07):
your security people that are all around the court, run out,
grab it, throw it in the trash or whatever. It's
a self correcting problem. But as soon as you make it,
as soon as you make it a big deal, like
what was me? What are we gonna do?

Speaker 6 (32:25):
Uh?

Speaker 1 (32:25):
Some guys, I'm gonna be famous. He's gonna go find
the kneonist green one he can at Adam and Eve
or whatever, and that's coming to the game with him.
The first thought that occurred to me was how did
this guy think this was going to end? And then
I realized he knew this wasn't going to end well,

(32:48):
which means his urges to do it are so strong
that he did it anyway. And that's actually what makes
this more frightening, like because he had to know he's
going to jail or he was going to get arrested.
We'll see if he goes to jail, but that didn't

(33:10):
stop him because his urges to do this to these
little girls over wrote all the all the basic reality,
all of the analysis that could have easily proven that
this was an all. This is a horrible idea and
I don't know how you fix a person like that,

(33:33):
So keep that terrifying thought in mind. A man in
Texas is accused of approaching young girls in an elementary
school parking lot while wearing only a diaper and a
pacifier around his neck. According to police, two girls were
riding bikes and scooters through their neighborhood when they noticed
a silver vehicle began to follow them. He kept stopping

(33:55):
whenever they stopped on their way home. They noticed what
was adventurely identified his forty five year old Wesley Warl,
sitting in the vehicle in the parking lot of the
elementary school in the direction the girls were heading. According
to the affter, David World got out of his vehicle,
wearing only the diaper and shouted, goo goo gaga, I
need a diaper change the little girls and good for them.

(34:24):
Quickly got the heck out of there, approaching another family's
home where a man and his son were working in
the garage, riding up so fast that they ended up
literally crashing into each other and skinning their knees, claiming
a scary man was chasing him, so the son the
sun went searching for the vehicle they described, while a

(34:45):
woman in the home attempted to calm the girls, who
they say were visibly shaken and I understand The girls
then told her the man also asked them to change
his diaper for them for him. He was arrested in
charge with criminal solicitation of a minor, criminal trespass in

(35:08):
addition to other charges. And by the way, he's got
a he's got a big old wrap sheet for doing
all sorts of sketchy stuff to going back to nineteen
ninety nine. Let's see here. And by the way, almost
every arrest involves him in the diaper too. How's this
guy on the street man, let's see all right, so

(35:32):
when police talk to him, let's see okay, So in
ninety nine watching the kids wearing a diaper, looking into
apartment windows and O two wearing a diaper. He also
was stalking his ex girlfriend. Somebody dated this guy staring
at kids at a pool wearing a diaper. And there's

(35:54):
a quote that he gave police. Hold on, also, would
go expose himself while we're in a diaper at Walmart?
How do you get into it? How do you walk
into a Walmart wearing just a diaper? I mean, I
know you can physically do it, but how does that work.
When he was eventually approached by police and they questioned
him as to why he was, you know, wearing the

(36:18):
diaper and why he had exposed himself at a Walmart
a few years ago, he said that he wasn't trying
to expose himself. He was checking to see if he
had soiled his diaper. I think you would know, right,
how many of you trusted a little gas too much?

(36:39):
You know, it's kind of no. I had to check, man.
Oh yeah, so since nineteen ninety nine, this guy's been
just running this whole thing here. At what point are
you just like, yeah, I don't I don't think you
can function in society, sir. I mean, it's not illegal
to wear a diaper if you're an adult. It's not
on a pass far and all that. It's all the

(37:00):
ancillary stuff you're doing with it. So it's just kind
of your hallmark, all right. Seven to eleven here on
the KCO Day radio program, I watched an interview over
the weekend of the woman. We played some audio from
her last week because she gave a little press conference.
The woman who was seen on the ground, eyes open,

(37:21):
looked like she was damn near dead in Cincinnati there.
And it's far more insane than you think because to
this point, we've had a bunch of city officials and
UH and and race race mongering pastors right who have
basically said, let's wait for all the details you've had.

(37:44):
You had some who'd imply that she had she and
the man she was with had done something to these
individuals and this they were just reaping what they were sewing,
and uh, we were told not to speculate because you
don't have all the details. You don't know, and it's
irresponsible and all of that. If what this woman is
saying is true, city officials knew this. What she what

(38:08):
I'm gonna, I'm gonna, I'm gonna let her explain it.
City officials knew this. It It takes their action or inaction,
I guess if you want to call that from the
police chief, the mayor, and the council person and the
rest of these folks like it casts a brand new
light on what their attitude has been because this is

(38:30):
this is insane and frankly, I don't know, maybe Trump
needs to send the guard into Kansas or excuse me,
into Cincinnati too. And frankly, you got you're gonna have
to purge part of the police department. This is so
messed up what she's going to explain, and and by
the way, flies in the face of the narrative that

(38:50):
they were intimating. Right what the key thing is that
she and this guy were there. You know, there's some
couple that's there and they're running their else. She didn't
know the guy. She she only knew him as far
as she had joined a large group of people, and
he happened to be somebody else in the group that

(39:12):
other people she really didn't know brought. She didn't know
him other than just running into that group that night.
So all right, here is she was being interviewed on
Fox News. Let's get into this because it is absolutely.

Speaker 5 (39:27):
Completely bloodied all of our faces, the victims.

Speaker 1 (39:31):
And you took an uber home?

Speaker 5 (39:33):
Yeah yeah, I did, no, and my face was still
completely bloodied, all of our faces, the victims. When we
were talking to the two police officers that did finally
show up, they did not call for backup, they did
not call for ambulance. And I just remember, you know,
my finally, my uber after all of this, my uber

(39:56):
had finally showed up, and I just remember the police
officers were being very nonchalant, and they were kind of
blowing us off, kind of like, okay, okay, you were
in a fight.

Speaker 8 (40:08):
Cool.

Speaker 5 (40:08):
There was still one hundred people on the streets, like
there were still people gathered everywhere, and then seeing us
bloody and some of their shirts were torn, you would
They didn't even get a statement from me. Actually, they
didn't even take down my name.

Speaker 1 (40:24):
What are we doing here? Now? That's all right, so
that that's like the police show. But you have to
understand the story that she's telling the police, or attempting
to tell the police, because it's one thing if they
just show up and they don't really have the details.
But what she's going to explain now is what happened

(40:45):
and what she was trying to tell them. And at
that point, this thing goes from oh, it was an altercation,
you know, we see we see the video clips, and
we assume this thing was pretty quick and prepared to
be absolutely shocked. What was happening in that moment that
you decided as a woman to jump into this situation.

Speaker 5 (41:09):
Well, everyone was standing around recording and egging it on,
and you know, like cheering to them. And I kept
waiting for the police to show up and waiting and terrified,
you know, and I really when I realized the police
weren't going to come, one of the I could hear
someone the man that I jumped in front of literally

(41:33):
crying to God, Please God, somebody save me. Somebody helped me.
It was the third time he had been knocked down
and kicked in his face over and over. Somebody had
told me fifty seven times they had counted through all
the videos, and I knew that if I didn't jump in,
if he had fallen down one more time, he would
not have made it out alive.

Speaker 1 (41:55):
She estimated. She estimates that this went on for fifteen minutes,
fifteen minutes, fifty what you say, fifty six fifty seven
kicks to his head. In fact, the fact that the
guy's alive, it was crazy. I remember, I remember in
high school we had a kid. These two got into
a fight down in the pit. That's where one went

(42:17):
to fight. Oh, we'll meet you down in the pit,
all right. So in the pit was just like a
lower alley where it was kind of you couldn't really
see in there from the school. We had teachers that
would come watch fights. Man, but there's one fight. There's
one kid.

Speaker 8 (42:29):
Man.

Speaker 1 (42:29):
It was just brutal, brutal. Nobody wanted to screw with him.
And he got into a fight with his kid and
he ended up knocking him down. And I'll never forget
it was over at that point, and he turned around
kind of over to where the group was and he
then like NFL running like he's going to kick a football,
kick this guy in the head. That kid was in
school no more.

Speaker 3 (42:50):
That was it.

Speaker 1 (42:51):
They expelled. I don't know what happened to him, don't care,
but like that was one he got one kick in
and they were not and around. So this is I
know that she doesn't know if it's fifty six or
fifty seven, but if she's she's like, this isn't a fight.
This has been going on for fifteen minutes. They're taking
turns beating him, and it's different groups that are coming

(43:12):
That's the other thing, too, it's different groups that keep
coming by and go, let me get a kick in
on that white guy. This is far more horrible than
just a fight, and shame on Cincinnati leaders try to
play this off like, well, it's a fight. We got
to get to the details. That's not a fight. I'm
sorry that doesn't fit in the definition of a fight anymore.

(43:36):
That is that's attempted murder. And city officials knew this
while they're holding all those press conferences. They didn't necessarily
know it to be true, right, one hundred percent true.
They're still coming through it, but just the basic outline
of what's going on they knew, and then I wanted

(43:56):
to pretend like that's the fires trying to we'll figure
it out. No, you you had and it wasn't just
what you had. If what she's saying is accurate, you had,
you had a race based attempted murder. You had a
lynch mob for all practical purposes, operating at your jazz festival.

(44:19):
And the scary thing is too, the part where she says, well,
you know, other groups came in and took so people
who didn't even have beef or understand what was going
on felt that it was okay to sit there and
kick a dude in the head because everyone else was
doing it. And there's clearly a racial component there. I

(44:41):
I I don't. I don't know how you how you
fix leadership in that city. If they're going to be
that disingenuous with people and there's no excuse and oh
we're trying to avoid some sort of you know, big
gathering or a riot or ready to shut up, that's
attempted murder. And uh, and you better charge a quarter
because you've not to this point done that. Jake, what's up? Oh?

Speaker 9 (45:04):
I got a big question. This was all these Florida
man diaper boy in Texas. Why are they all like
our age? They're forty five there and we were born
in eighty, so that means that dude's like first on
the record crime was when he was nineteen, right. I mean,
I don't understand why it's all you know, middle aged

(45:26):
people getting all the Florida man attention.

Speaker 1 (45:29):
Well, I don't know. I don't know if that's all
of them. But he's been at this game a while. Yea,
I will obviously there's that. That's why I want to
point out he's been doing this diaper thing since ninety nine.

Speaker 9 (45:42):
Yeah, So I mean I don't know why, Like you know,
I know, children's records are sealed for people to get
their act together, but once they once they start doing
other stuff outside of that.

Speaker 6 (45:50):
Why is that still sealed?

Speaker 9 (45:52):
I mean, that should just be opened up because it's like, hey,
this guy's been at it since he was sixteen.

Speaker 1 (45:56):
He's fine. I think, Look, we got his adult record,
and if you think you're going to you're gonna quell
this guy's desires. That's why I wanted to go piece
by piece there. He's not gonna get he knows that
he's going to get arrested doing this, and his urge
is so strong he just keeps doing it and is
willing to go after kids. You're not that, dude.

Speaker 9 (46:18):
I'm also wondering if maybe he likes it better in prison,
because a lot of these people, you know, people that
rob a bank and then they just want to get
arrested so that way they can get their cancer treating
kind of thing.

Speaker 1 (46:29):
I don't know. It doesn't sound like he went to
prison for any significant length of time, so it's probably
because he thinks it's it's the juice is worth the squeeze, man.

Speaker 9 (46:39):
Right, Well, I think this is also a lot that
has to do with the taboo nature of everything else.
Everything's getting so crazy now that it's like nothing's taboo,
nothing's dangerous, So everybody's got to go. They got to
up the anty. It's so high that it's just like,
oh my gosh, chipper wood chipper, here we go.

Speaker 1 (46:56):
I don't know, man, you're gonna need a bigger chipper.
All right, Thanks for the call there, Jake. Yeah, whole
thing's just super creepy. You're not fixing that, dude. He's
he's he's let you he's done. He has He has
done this more years that he's been living than he
hasn't done this that we know of because again, now

(47:16):
you're into juvenile stuff. He's made this his whole life
around this diaper thing. So yeah, I, oh, you just
need some counseling. Yeah, it's not gonna work. Sorry, Ross.
You ever got stuck in a Chuck E Cheese arcade game?

Speaker 3 (47:37):
You ever?

Speaker 1 (47:38):
Uh?

Speaker 3 (47:38):
Not that I remember?

Speaker 1 (47:39):
Okay, all right, I just I didn't know how common
this was. A klutzy California woman was free. Oh by
the way, I don't like to use of the word
klutzy here and ultimately why was freed from the inside
of a Chuck E Cheese arcade game after shoving her
arm into a narrow tube, all while a small armada
of confused children watched on. So let's just talk about

(48:02):
what she's doing. She's trying to reach in I'm assuming
this has there's prizes up in there or whatever. Okay,
So yeah, so she's trying to manipulate. She's trying to
cheat at the games to essentially there's balls that you
got to place into some scoring holes. So she's trying
to guide the balls in there, so you know, cause
you got to get the tickets, man. So she's not klutzy,

(48:25):
she's trying to steal man, I ain't steal stupid little stuff,
but she's still, you know, trying to manipulate stuff and steal.
Eventually they had the fire department out there. Good lord, man,
Chuck E. Cheese has assured people that you should not
stick your arm in the games. Yeah, man, And this
is an adult. I've seen kids in the little the

(48:46):
Little Picker machine, but never adults. All right, we're gonna
take a break. Be right back. Hanging on a hot
new trend among the gen Z here. It has to
do with photographs, right. It's you know, it's never been
easier to snap the highest quality footever than it is
in today's society. And by the way, that's not necessarily
a good thing, but it lacks a certain warmth. I

(49:11):
guess I'm reading this. I'm trying to decipher what it is.
So uh you know this. Yeah, it's the four K.
It's a digital thing. You can manipulate it into the
high heavens, but there's just not feeling there. So check
this out, ross. So what gen Z's doing is, rather
than digitally doing this, they've come up with this stuff

(49:33):
called film. Have you heard of this?

Speaker 3 (49:37):
It's the first time what is it?

Speaker 1 (49:38):
Yeah? Yeah, so yeah, so they they take it, but
the photographs are on this thing called film.

Speaker 3 (49:45):
All right, So you use the camera and when you
think the picture, does the film just come out? And
you've got your picture? How's it?

Speaker 1 (49:50):
No? No, no, no, no no, you have to then
develop it. I guess is the word they're using, your
develop it?

Speaker 3 (49:57):
Yeah, Now do you do that or does somebody else
do it for you?

Speaker 1 (50:00):
You can do it, And those who are very passionate
about it are creating their own films developed film studios.
But also those who are business minded are creating businesses
where other gen z ers using this new technology can
drop their film off. They'll do the developing and then
they'll give them the picture.

Speaker 3 (50:20):
All right, So you drop it off and it's like,
you know, done, Like you just get your photo then
and there.

Speaker 1 (50:25):
Uh no, but you can be done in under an hour. Wow, apparently,
uh huh. Now the little container that holds the what
did you call it? Film? The film film?

Speaker 3 (50:34):
A little container, Yeah, hold other things besides the film.

Speaker 1 (50:40):
Like things you would smoke me. Yeah, I you know
that's a that's a brilliant suggestion. I'm wow. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (50:47):
Why was it a thing back in the day?

Speaker 1 (50:50):
The WI in film. I think it's because it was
air tight.

Speaker 3 (50:52):
I don't know, didn't have any like the sunlight or anything,
or does that a phone? I don't know. I wouldn't
pad what I was like, Yeah, but if you saw
somebody would like little you.

Speaker 1 (51:00):
Know, oh, yeah, you're continue. If somebody had one, I
assume it was we.

Speaker 3 (51:02):
You're like, you're really into photography or you're a stoner,
one of the two. Yeah, we're both.

Speaker 1 (51:07):
We're both, you know, sometimes there's crossover there. Yeah, this
is this is crazy. I wonder you know what, I
wonder if the stores will pick up on this? Yeah,
you know, is you have a counter where you could
drop this off?

Speaker 3 (51:20):
I mean, they get made fun of, but it really
is impressive the amount of things this generation is inventing.

Speaker 1 (51:25):
Right, roommates, Right, we had roommates. What was the one
recently we had? It was groundbreaking? All right? So yeah,
this is film.

Speaker 3 (51:34):
Didn't they invent toast? Remember that one?

Speaker 1 (51:36):
Toast? It might have been Yeah, they were.

Speaker 3 (51:38):
Like, oh my god, you can make a sandwich, but
you can like make toast. You toast the bread on
your sandwich.

Speaker 1 (51:44):
Oh wow, toasted sandwich quiz. Those guys probably mad about that,
but yeah, young photographers deliberately choosing thirty five millimeter film cameras,
which has caused some photography studios and stores to have
to reevaluate their inventory. Oh what if somebody, Now, what

(52:07):
if you did take it to a next level and
instead of having to take the film uh to one
of these places to get it developed in under an
hour in some cases? You what was it? You said?
The photo pops out of the camera. That's genius. Has
anyone tried that?

Speaker 3 (52:24):
I mean they should invent that? Uh huh?

Speaker 1 (52:27):
And then do you shake the picture when it comes out?

Speaker 5 (52:30):
Uh?

Speaker 3 (52:30):
Yeah, like assault shaker? Yeah?

Speaker 1 (52:31):
Okay, all right, can you say, can you write a
whole song about that?

Speaker 3 (52:36):
You sure could?

Speaker 1 (52:37):
Oh could? Good? Good good? I wonder what that would
sound like. I didn't think it was funny when that
song came out, Like the Dying Breath of Polaroid was like, yeah,
you shouldn't do that to the picture. You're not supposed
to do that, and it's I was like, oh, you
guys are still in business. Speaking of who's still in business?
This is crazy. I want to know who's still doing this.

(53:00):
Has announced it will discontinue dial up internet on September thirtieth,
who's still doing AOL dial up? Ross? Did you have
AOL ever? Yeah?

Speaker 3 (53:12):
No, I used it to do prep. But now I'm
really upset because I'm not going to be able to
do it.

Speaker 1 (53:16):
Oh, is that what? You you know what? This would
be a good renaissance among the gen z, you know
what I'm saying, rather than like Ethernet.

Speaker 3 (53:24):
And you know they wouldn't last two says, they wouldn't.
They don't have what it takes.

Speaker 1 (53:29):
It's yeah, I can't again, you can't even describe. And
because it was, it was simultaneously the most frustrating thing
in the world, especially if you wanted to load a
video or a or a picture of decent resolution. It
was simultaneous the most frustrating thing in the world. But
it was so amazing because AOL was the entry point

(53:52):
for most people who had internet in their house. Having
internet in your house when it first had was a
big deal. And yet the WILL dial up was just
nightmare city man. And then every and then every week,
what was you in your mailbox? It didn't matter if
you were an AOL customer or not. They'd mail you

(54:12):
a damn disc. I could not tell you the number
of AOL discs that I received in the mail, and
all of you did as well.

Speaker 3 (54:18):
Like the kids, they just don't understand. Not only did
it make this horrific screeching sound whenever you had going on,
but if somebody called your house, it would knock you
off the internet.

Speaker 1 (54:26):
Correct, maybe all mad at whoever they're in. They're you know,
calling for a legitimate reason. Your but your mom's been kidnapped.
Oh damn it, I was trying to watch this. Yeah.
The AOL days, man, those were those were wild times.
And if you were really rich though, uh my really
rich friend, they had a phone line just for their AOL.

Speaker 3 (54:49):
Wow, rich bastards.

Speaker 1 (54:53):
That was a flex man and then you what's the number?
And then you call it?

Speaker 3 (55:01):
But no, they haven't.

Speaker 1 (55:02):
They would guard that number with their life just so
the AOL didn't kick. But I want to know who's
still who's because if they're discontinuing it, I'm assuming that
means you have customers. You had to notify who is
it is someone's NANA subware not with the program.

Speaker 2 (55:19):
You know.

Speaker 3 (55:20):
This is one of those things where I believe if
my mom still had the Internet, because she doesn't have
the Internet, doesn't have a smartphone any of that. She'd
probably still have the al because the only reason they
ever got one. This is like my dad was still alive.
And when I moved away to North Carolina in nineteen
ninety nine for my first full time radio job there,
they bought a computer and which was a big deal

(55:42):
for my parents, and they splurged on the Internet. And
the only reason was so they could listen to the
radio station in North Carolina to see if I was okay.
Every day they would turn it on and be like, okay,
he's alive. Now we're going to turn it off. And
they had that the screeching up aol Internet, she'd probably
still have We got to have that in the system,
so we have yeah, but she would definitely still have it.

Speaker 1 (56:03):
No, no, no, I mean in the we have to have
audio of that right in the system. You don't even
like if you if you don't know the noise. Oh,
And to this day, I don't understand why it had
to make that noise. All right, I don't see it anywhere,
but you all know the noise got awful. Man. There

(56:23):
you go, there, you go every and then you have
to do and you know, if you're on the internet
from morning, how you probably have to do that three times?
And then where did it? And then you go on
AOL and AOL had like a whole chat community. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (56:40):
Man, then they would just pop up on your on
your screen and your al instant message and be like
ASL ASL.

Speaker 1 (56:46):
I was just gonna say that ASL ASL. You guys
know what ASL means age sex location. And now in retrospect,
because I was a kid when I'm on there, the
amount of perves that were probably completely there's probably the
diaper dude, that's probably how he cut his teeth. Anybody
want to come by ASL? Come by change my diaper? Oh,

(57:09):
that's what it was. Ross. Somebody reminded us the new
gen Z EVENTU micro retirements remember, oh.

Speaker 3 (57:16):
Yeah, also known as vacations. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 (57:19):
Oh I'm gonna micro retire for two weeks and then
I'll come back.

Speaker 8 (57:22):
Oh okay, yeah.

Speaker 1 (57:24):
I heard of that. Oh man, all right, we got
raced aging. I bet he's the one using it.

Speaker 8 (57:30):
Oh yeah, I remember those days.

Speaker 1 (57:32):
Yeah. So AOL has announced their discontinuing dial up service
September thirtieth, and I just want to know who the
hell is still on AOL dial up.

Speaker 8 (57:39):
I was going to say it still exists.

Speaker 1 (57:41):
It does.

Speaker 8 (57:42):
Yeah, yeah, holy.

Speaker 10 (57:44):
Col I know some people that still have AOL email addresses.
I didn't even know that existed.

Speaker 1 (57:49):
Yeah, I understand that more because you get you know,
you're all in on that email and you got all
your stuff there and you don't want to change it.

Speaker 3 (57:55):
Yep, you don't want to and you probably have like
some horrific email address. What do you mean, well, something
you came up with when you were like sixteen or seven.

Speaker 1 (58:04):
Oh yeah, it's like yeah, yeah, four sixty nine meme
Lord or whatever.

Speaker 10 (58:09):
Yeah, yeah, yep, AOL mine was the thing. I was
EXLT six hundred. I can remember that because that's when
I bought my first new Polaris Excel. That's what it was,
so circa ninety four ninety five. Yeah, I can't believe
I remember that.

Speaker 1 (58:24):
Yeah, yeah, there's some there's some oldies but goodies in
the email department there.

Speaker 8 (58:28):
Oh yeah there sure, job man, yep.

Speaker 1 (58:31):
Like kids don't. Kids today don't even know how hard
it was to operate the Internet. Well, because the just
the way.

Speaker 3 (58:39):
They aim and don't even forget about like having to
try to download an album and you don't even know
if it's the album you're downloading. You have no I.

Speaker 1 (58:47):
What are you talking about, mister Ross. No, I don't
even know what that is, some sort or any LimeWire.
I heard of these things.

Speaker 10 (58:55):
Yeah, and then you could walk away be like, I
wonder what one is gonna You used to be able
to just walk away.

Speaker 1 (59:00):
Overnight downright, literally bed, and then you get up, come
on really.

Speaker 3 (59:05):
Still right, and then you open the file and it's
like an hour of fart sounds or something you.

Speaker 8 (59:10):
Never happened to me?

Speaker 1 (59:11):
Is it a good good hours? Yeah? I mean you know,
all right, Well maybe that's what the dopplers hooked up too,
sure right, yeah, computers.

Speaker 10 (59:22):
Are yeah, back into a little bit more wet than
dry now next to a few days showers already off
to the west as you get just west of Winston,
Sam get out in Gatkin County at points west southwest
of that with some heavier rainfall, so we kind of
sea scattered showers, a few thunder showers around today. I
mean hours of dry weather too, like we're seeing this

(59:43):
morning for many of us. But the shower thunderstorm threat
will continue tonight and tomorrow and even on into midweek.
Heaviest rain is going to be west of the triad,
but still this week a pretty decent chance that by Wednesday,
I think everybody gets some rain. Now we're not outlook
for severe weather nor a great flood wrist, but just
heads up. Some of these storms may produce maybe some

(01:00:03):
heavier rainfall at times, so I'm gonna be a pretty
damn start to the week. Does look like even in
the tropics we'll have some action. If Aaron isn't named
today or doesn't become a depression, I'd be shocked. Up
to ninety percent chances of development out just to the
west now, the Cabo Verde Islands does look like that
that will be our next name storm. However, still weak

(01:00:26):
plus away even if it does make a run at
the US East coast, so a lot of time to
watch that.

Speaker 1 (01:00:31):
Hey, do you know what a la boo boo doll is?

Speaker 3 (01:00:33):
I do not.

Speaker 1 (01:00:34):
That's you know what I did not until last night,
and I was happier then. So apparently it's the thing
that parents are going to be beating other parents up
for this Christmas.

Speaker 8 (01:00:42):
Christmas this will be what is.

Speaker 1 (01:00:43):
It called la boo boo dolls.

Speaker 3 (01:00:46):
It sounds like voodoo or something.

Speaker 10 (01:00:48):
Yeah, when am I going to come up with something
silly like.

Speaker 1 (01:00:52):
That to be a million I don't know, Man, then
get made a billionaire.

Speaker 8 (01:00:55):
Because that don't.

Speaker 3 (01:00:58):
All right?

Speaker 1 (01:00:59):
Well, we'll all learn together and we'll talk in an okay, okay,
all right? So now, and the only reason I know
is because they are now using analysis surrounding the boo
boo dolls to go doom and gloom on the economy
and attack Trump. So I then had to learn what
it was. So we'll get into that and much more

(01:01:19):
and a popular gen Z trend or at least one
I am a okay with we'll get to that next.
Hang on new lower carbon not new, but lower carbon
method of travel? Well make you feel less guilty? All right?
So what is the method of travel that's lower carbon?
Hitch hiking, which by the way, is very low carbon.

(01:01:42):
Once your body is from the dude who murdered you
picked you up, is I guess burned? So the evidence
disappears and then no more carbon from you. So there
is that? What an awful thing to promote, man, But
people do it like people do the hitch hiking rogie
ever pick a hitchhiker up, man.

Speaker 3 (01:02:02):
Sure of not?

Speaker 1 (01:02:03):
Yeah, yeah, I mean I've thought about it.

Speaker 3 (01:02:07):
I've thought about it, like I've been driving and I've
seen someone on the side of the road and there's
a part of me that's like, oh, man, I gon't
need to help that person. Maybe they just need a ride.
They look nice. And then I'm like, I don't know,
I don't want to end up dead. I don't want
to awe like underneath their property somewhere.

Speaker 1 (01:02:24):
Yeah, Buffalo Bill dancing around the top of here, right, No,
no thanks, Yeah, I remember, I remember that girl was
just trying to help that poor man was injured load
his furniture or whatever, other loads something in the van.
And then now she's a skinskin, you know.

Speaker 3 (01:02:40):
One of the most notorious like serial killers in the UK.
They were a British couple where they ended up finding
all of these like bodies sort of like John wing
Gacy style, underneath their property, in their backyard and in
their house. And that's what they would do. They would
go and they would pitch up pick up hitchhikers, and
they would do it as a couple. So when they
would pick up the hitchhiker, the hitchhiker would look in

(01:03:02):
the car and be like, oh, it's a nice married couple.
There's probably less of a chance of me being murdered.
But nope, murdered murdered. Yeah, yeah, I did read about
was that the UK?

Speaker 1 (01:03:11):
I don't realize it was a new k Yeah, I
sure was, oh man, And so that's ironic because it's
the UK's BBC promoting hitchhiking here, so you take to
have some memory of that. All right, couple things, Uh, now,
I will say this, we're you know, poking fun at
the gen Z with the film stuff there. Fine, I
did you guys see the sheer number of sorority dance

(01:03:34):
videos that have hit the Internet where they're all wearing denim,
they're all wearing jeans, like the sororities are leaning into
the Sydney Sweeney thing and then they're making their big
you know, for the for all the rough stuff, these
these big dance things they're all over. I'm okay with this,
by the way.

Speaker 3 (01:03:50):
I mean, but we do see these videos every year.

Speaker 1 (01:03:52):
Yeah, yeah, they do this every year. But the one
from the University of Arizona and then the one from Alabama,
they specifically referenced the gene.

Speaker 6 (01:04:00):
No.

Speaker 3 (01:04:00):
I saw one last night from University of Kentucky. Yeah,
and yeah, they were all just wearing jeans, ye know.
Oh I gotta see all right, well, hold on, I'm
going to search that.

Speaker 8 (01:04:07):
I like.

Speaker 1 (01:04:08):
I spent a lot of time researching this over the weekend,
so it was very prevalent. I did not see the
Kentucky one though, so but yeah, and by the way,
if you're a bitter, angry, leftist, woke nosering chick, bad
news for you. The new face of Basking Robins Sydney
Sweeney Man.

Speaker 3 (01:04:29):
She's I mean, her agent. Some people are like saying
her agent's do a horrible job, like oh, she should
be driving around them or say these bends or something
instead of all these products. But she's got the cowboy
hat thing or the boots thing, she's got the jeans thing,
and now ice cream those are like super American. Yeah,
and in summertime, so it makes sense.

Speaker 1 (01:04:45):
Yeah, I think she's probably doing fine. She's she's doing okay.
But you know, again, if you're gonna go, you know,
eat your hate, you're gonna have to do it somewhere else.
I guess now, and I'm sure basking Robin sales would
probably go up. You know why, because I would I
would prefer to go to a place that doesn't have
a bunch of bitter, angry, woke chicks with nose rings.

(01:05:07):
So but that's just me. Uh that's a point of
personal preference. All right, coming up this this morning or
is it this morning? This afternoon? When is Trump's presser? Well? Anyway,
Uh so, Trump's got a big press conference coming up today.
We want our capital back. That's an exact quote. There's

(01:05:27):
we have a little sense of what he's going to
talk about. But this is all about d C and
what they did to big bulls and now it has consequences.
The White House. Well, Trump specifically going to be holding
a major announcement about cleaning up DC today. Yeah. By

(01:05:49):
the way, this I just reading the serment, reading the
statement here. So so one of the government, one of
the DC officials, uh a pushback said kids are kids. No, no, no, no,
kids are kids kids who uh twenty of them beat
down some somebody because he didn't want his his his
car jacked. Those are not kids being kids anymore. Kids

(01:06:13):
are kids, Kids are gonna be kids. I don't know.
Kids are a little different when I was a kid. Ross,
how many carjackings did you do when you were under
when you were a kid, not adult? Ones, kid ones?
How many? I'm assuming you guys just carjacked all over
Schenectady when you were Yeah, oh okay, all right, rob
some banks. Probably probably rob some banks. Gives you that

(01:06:36):
Schenectady kid. Why there's not a good gang of kid
bank robbers. Yeah, don't give me his kids or kids.
The violent crime up in DC and the homeless problem
is significant, and when you have city officials go well,
kids will be kids. No, no, no, no, hell. A
Democrat member of Congress had his car jacked. I think

(01:06:57):
his chief of staff was driving it at the time
over by the Navy Yard. I remember that story for
like a year ago, and then all of a sudden
everyone just pretended like it didn't happen. Well, because again
it flies in the face of the narrative that whatever
Trump's going to do is evil. But I digress. So
that announcement coming. There's a couple things in here because

(01:07:19):
he posted on True Socials, so we have a little
bit of an idea what he's going to be talking about.
Here's what he wrote he said on Monday, a press
conference will be held at the White House, which will
essentially stop violent crime in DC has become one of
the most dangerous cities anywhere in the world. It will
assume be one of the safest. And then he said,

(01:07:40):
we're having a news conference about making the capital safer
and more beautiful than ever before. And then he added,
let's see one of the issues to be addressing is
relating to the homeless population, saying that they would they
would have to move out of the city. The homeless
have to move out. And then in all caps he wrote,

(01:08:00):
immediately we will give you a place to stay, but
far from the cow What does that mean? Far from
the Capitol? Where's you do? Where'd you put all the hobos?

Speaker 6 (01:08:10):
No?

Speaker 3 (01:08:10):
Is it surrounded by gators?

Speaker 6 (01:08:12):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (01:08:13):
Yeah, I know, Well you mean wildlife? People like wildlife.

Speaker 3 (01:08:20):
I don't know, like they've got some sort of like
hobo Hilton ready to go.

Speaker 1 (01:08:24):
I like, you have a hobo containment area and if
somewhere is I don't think he'd do it to Florida,
just because you know, I don't know this Florida. But like,
do you want to dump them in Cincinnati? I don't know, man,
what if he's gonna use hobos to punish people, like
when they were busting the illegals, Right, he gets them
all in like a hobo containment area, and then if

(01:08:45):
somebody steps out of line, he's like, all right, don't
make me ball. There's a thousand homeless people.

Speaker 3 (01:08:50):
Isn't that even Like, wasn't that a South Park episode
where they would ship the homeless people up?

Speaker 1 (01:08:54):
And I'm sure it was. Everything's been a South Park episode, dude, Dude,
I gotta tell you, man, the absolute anger of people
over Charlie Kirk and Christy Nome and even a couple
other people who then made their avatar on social media
their star or their South Park character.

Speaker 3 (01:09:17):
Yeah no, because now you see people from the left going,
you people are so dumb you don't even know when
you're being made fun of.

Speaker 1 (01:09:23):
Yeah, that was so many of those videos over the
week and put a big montage together.

Speaker 3 (01:09:28):
And it's a matter of no, dumb ass, We realize
we're being insulted, but we can take a joke. And
it's like that, but you cannot. You would be like
rioting in the street, correct, Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:09:37):
Yeah, this way, it would not it would not go
the same way. So no, so like it's I told
you if if somehow, some way South like Ross Raye
ended up as a South Park character, that would be
my avatar for all my social media probably till I die.
I put that bad boy.

Speaker 3 (01:09:58):
Up there, man, Yeah, we it was Secretary Nome right.
They melted her face on it, like the botox, and
she made that her like ex profile pick.

Speaker 1 (01:10:07):
Yeah. Yeah, although she did add the laser eyes to it.
I don't know if you saw that, like the like
the dark dark brand and stuff, but whatever. Yeah, and
then Charlie Kirk made his and the doll. You guys
are being fun of, you don't know. They know clearly
she understands that they're saying she her face is all
filled with botox. Okay, we got it, and then having

(01:10:29):
having her shoot a puppy right, clearly she remembers that
incident too in the reference to the dog. So no,
they're they're very much aware. So anyway, he's gonna move
all the hoboes around. I don't know but that's gonna mean.
But I'm sure he'll explain it. I'm not sure the

(01:10:52):
hoboes are gonna like it though, But I don't know
that They're gonna have a lot of choice here, man.
I mean, they don't have to go wherever. He's telling him.
It's the whole thing. You don't have to go home,
but you can't stay here, is I think the message.
Trump then pivoted to address those who were breaking the
law in the capital, citing his administration's rapid success and

(01:11:14):
gaining operation operational control of the border. Well, yes, look,
it's fine to quote that this is not the border,
though you know it's it's it's a major US city,
and that was the movement of people who you know,
maybe hadn't lived there all their lives. So it you

(01:11:37):
know how what that looks like. Hopefully we'll know more
a little later. He and so after the homeless, saying
we're gonna we'll give you a place to stay, but
far from the capital, Nancy Pelosi's neighbor. I don't know
what he's gonna do, man, But he says, for the criminals,
you don't have to move out. We're just gonna put
you in jail where you belong. And it's gonna happen

(01:11:58):
very fast. Just like the border. We went for millions
pouring in zero in the last few months. This will
be easier, be prepared. There will be no mister nice guy,
we want our capital back. Thanks for your attention to
this matter. I don't know why he signs everything like that,
but he does. All Right, So we'll see. That'll be

(01:12:20):
coming up a little later, and I'm sure we'll be
definitely talking about on tomorrow's show and we'll have tons
I'm assuming we're gonna have tons of outrage audio from
CNN and MSNBC ross how soon if I I'll see
if my predictor works. Let's say Trump does do a
mass movement of the homeless population there, how how many

(01:12:43):
how soon do you think it will be before some
panelists on MSNBC or CNN reference how it's kind of
like that other thing that happened in Germany.

Speaker 3 (01:12:54):
No, they'll be making references to Poland and everything else. Okay,
they're probably already writing it.

Speaker 1 (01:12:59):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, So all right. I think that that's
probably the safest prop bet on this whole thing, that
somebody will make a hol of well or a ghetto,
the Jewish ghettos. This is what they do, right And
if and by the way, if Trump opens a hobo
camp and then he starts mass exterminating them. Then I
then I will be you were right, we need to

(01:13:22):
stop this and uh but but that's not what's happening. Okay,
all right, very good? Uh the details of which, like
I said, well, hey, what is this? Oh man? All right?
Why are they gonna do work programs? Again? I I thought,

(01:13:45):
do I think that if they if they are going
to relocate homeless, that they're going to provide some level
of service or addiction counsel, you know all that stuff,
and more centralized area. Yeah, I think that that would
probably be part of it, if he is literally going
to have some location, because you can't just you can't
just mad maxim into a fenced off area. Okay, I

(01:14:06):
know it'll be portrayed as that, but you know, and
and you know, the other thing is it's not like
DC doesn't offer a lot of these services that people
don't avail themselves. Did you see that? You see that
lady that this chick did a do you know what
a russ? You know what a trade up video is?
You know what those videos are? You started like a
pencil and then you you trade it up and up

(01:14:26):
and up. And this chick did it and she got
a house she was able to eventually trade it up
for a house.

Speaker 3 (01:14:31):
Good for her.

Speaker 1 (01:14:32):
Yeah, and then she gave the house away to a
homeless lady who doesn't like living inside, so she trashed
it and sleeps outside.

Speaker 3 (01:14:39):
I was about to say, and how long until it
was completely.

Speaker 1 (01:14:42):
Trashed, completely trashed and the woman prefers sleeping outside, she
doesn't like sleeping in a house, and just destroyed the house.
So it was like, there's really feel good story. I
think it was in Washington or Oregon somewhere. Yeah, really,
it's just a cool story. Right, this this chick did
all this stuff, she's not rich, and then she decides
she then donated this out.

Speaker 3 (01:15:00):
You know, we've talked about this before, right, the thing
that is actually causing some of these problems, because you
have people that are like, oh, just give them jobs
or give them houses and it's going to solve the problem.
Or a lot of times they had those things. There's
mental issues which led to where they are now, or
or it's the root of the problem.

Speaker 1 (01:15:15):
Yeah. Yeah, yeah, So if you don't solve those you
can get you can give them all the houses you want.

Speaker 3 (01:15:19):
We talk about it. We talked about it before. To
remember the guy with the Golden Voice, the homeless guy.
They they found this out of the road. He was
old radio vetter, and they like gave them all this
money and stuff and like the game of house and
they're like, you.

Speaker 1 (01:15:28):
Know, everything solved, your life is better. It was not no, no,
because you have to deal with the underlying issues. So uh,
you know there. I suspect there'll be some complexity to
what they're proposing here, and I'm sure there'll be a
lawsuit against it. The amount of lawsuits that the DC
officials are probably gonna start whatever Trump announces today, they

(01:15:51):
have lawyers, they have it all written now. They're just
going to fill in the blank and then we'll be
we'll be off and running. But I would warn them
if all of the sudden there's now precedent, because again
d C is not a normal American city. And you
saw Trumps had no problems. The court challenges are thrown
out over flooding Los Angeles with the not just National Guard,

(01:16:13):
but with Marines, and that was Los Angeles. D C
is a federal thing, and as such he has a
lot more flexibility and if you file a bunch of
lawsuits and judges don't side with you. Now there's precedent
and there's going to be a lot more flexibility with
what the president can do as it pertains to things

(01:16:36):
in the district. And by the way, he's not the
first president to do things. There is a long history
of when the president essentially or the administration has overridden
what DC city officials have wanted to do. Lots of it.
You go back to remember that big clan march up there.

(01:16:56):
That was a whole thing. I was a disagreement between
city officials and administration. That was part of that backstory.
What nineteen twenties whenever that happened. Yeah, reading all about
it this weekend. So we'll see. We'll see what he proposes,
all right, eight eight eight nine three four seven eight
seven four Oh, Ross. You know where you could put

(01:17:17):
him is those empty condos next to your house. That'd
be nice, right.

Speaker 3 (01:17:22):
Well, I mean I think one of our two of
them are empty. Oh, they could all fit in there though.
They're very nice.

Speaker 1 (01:17:27):
Oh they're very big. Okay, I don't know if you're
being serious with this. Maybe he's hey, you're going to
quote have him pick the crops. I you know, look,
is there a work program? The thing is if you
don't tackle the underlying issues of homelessness, it doesn't matter
if you give him a job doing anything. If people
are dealing with you know, mental health issues and addiction issues,

(01:17:51):
that is not that is not helpful in maintaining a job. Clearly,
that's you know, that's why we're here. So no, I mean, whatever,
whatever it is is going to be part of the solution.
You can't just drop them in at a strawberry farm
and you know, give him a bucket and then and

(01:18:12):
that's all gonna work out. So I don't know what
to look like, but I can already predict how it's
going to be covered because that is a super duper
nobe brainer for sure. All Right, this dude, you see
a story with the Texas Arlington, Texas mayor. This is
not a small city, Arlington, Texas. Right. This guy's name

(01:18:35):
is Jim Ross. And actually I'm not surprised that the
home of the Cowboys has a mayor that's this much
of an a hole. So AnyWho, So he's the mayor
of Arlington, Texas. However, there's video that has emerged of
him at an LGBT festival. I think it's in New Orleans,

(01:18:59):
and there's a street preacher there, which, by the way,
if you ever go to New Orleans, there's a whole
lot of street preachers. In fact, if you go during
Marti Gras, there's a dude who dresses up his Jesus
and has a big cross with you know, it's on
wheels on the back, it's over his shoulder, and then
he just goes up and down Bourbon Street trying to

(01:19:21):
message to all the heathens. Therefore, you know the Marty Graus.
But so this guy is just he's doing the street
preacher thing. It's the LGBT thing came to him because
again there's there's a bunch of them in the French Quarter.
But this mayor is not pleased, so he gets in
this dude's face and it's pretty aggressive.

Speaker 3 (01:19:45):
You don't think, ain't no sex is good.

Speaker 1 (01:19:48):
It's not the it's not the purpose.

Speaker 3 (01:19:50):
Have you ever er, old lady, who would do that?

Speaker 1 (01:19:53):
Old lady? You're here with he.

Speaker 3 (01:20:02):
These people are out here having.

Speaker 1 (01:20:03):
A good time.

Speaker 6 (01:20:04):
I'll come to your stupid.

Speaker 1 (01:20:13):
Okay, all right? Uh ross hover a dump button so
closely as when we play cuts like that. So yeah,
he is screaming at this dude and I don't know
what the preachers, I mean, the preachers there being the
preacher doing his thing. And yes, it's and I understand
that he's he's clearly he's probably preaching on the sins
of sodomy or whatever they got this whole thing on.

(01:20:37):
But you can't, as the mayor of a major city
or of a big city, then threaten to rape his
wife in that particular way. It's not a good look.
So Trump and Putin are having a summit in Alaska.
Do you guys get the irony of that? I mean?

(01:20:59):
And if you're Putin, why would you want to go
to an Alaskan summit so that you can literally bask
in the worst transactional decision your country's ever made.

Speaker 3 (01:21:09):
You know, it's like a safety thing. He can like
turn around and it's like his house is like right.

Speaker 1 (01:21:12):
There, right right there. On the others, Okay, no.

Speaker 3 (01:21:19):
But it is sort of like, hey, you can't have
that land over there, that land isn't yours while you're
in Alaska, right.

Speaker 1 (01:21:25):
Yeah, which we absolutely fleeced you on. It's still and
Putin has said it. Putin, uh like remember Putin's like
an old he's a supernationalist dude and old kgb kg dude, right,
and so like his glory days where the USS are
and but also like he has expressed, even though he

(01:21:50):
clearly wasn't around for it, how what a strategic blunder
it was that uh, you know, Russia parted with that
property there. In fact to Russia tried to get it,
if you don't know the story of it, like they
they tried to buy some of it back at one
point where like now we're good, nah, and especially with
the amount of reserves of oil and everything up there.

(01:22:13):
But it is it is thought that as soon as
the Arctic provides a sure path that you can run
shipping routes through right, so you where some of the
areas where the ice is clearing there. If that is
a thing that then becomes a passable thing, it is

(01:22:37):
going to be probably the busiest shipping lane in the world.
And the most strategic point on that shipping lane for
any country is Alaska. It's and again this this requires
a lot of things to happen, but if it happens,

(01:22:58):
Anchorage could be in the area and parts of Alaska
could be the most strategic points on that shipping row.
It absolutely will blow up financially, so you know, I've
got to live with all that. Now you're there, Trump's slave,
is this beautiful man? This is great? Oh yeah, look

(01:23:18):
at how gorgeous all this is. Wouldn't want to be
the guy who sold Oh I'm sorry. So I don't
know if there's a little bit of that there, but
we'll see. By the way, the press conference for Trump
is at ten am this morning. Okay, all right, A
little sad news overnight. We have we have lost a

(01:23:39):
great American. Jim Level passed away the Apollo thirteen command
Tom Hanks. Tom Hanks died. No Jim Level of the
Apollo thirteen mission passed away in I guess he lived
up in Illinois somewhere. How old was he? Ninety seven?
So I watched I remember watched. I watched something one

(01:24:01):
time with Love. This was years ago, and he was
on some panel somewhere something, and this stupid reporter asked
the dumbest question. He asked love, and I don't remember
exactly how it was worded, and it was like, looking back,
aren't you aren't you happy to be known as the
man who led the uh, you know, the saving of
Apollo thirteen rather than going to the moon, and levels like, no,

(01:24:24):
I would have rather gone to the moon, but rather
than almost freeze today.

Speaker 3 (01:24:29):
Yeah, let me pick almost dying space or jump around
in the moon. I don't know, it's buddy, you more
run oh man.

Speaker 1 (01:24:40):
I mean I kind of get where he was. He
was like, you know the way, but the way he said,
is just another guy who went to the moon. Which really,
I mean that was the attitude, man, that was the attitude.

Speaker 3 (01:24:51):
You know when I when I was up in that spacecraft,
We're about to dine, and I said, you know, Houston,
we have a problem, you know. And then I took
out that duct tape and I to the hole in
the wall. It's like, this is better than jumping around
in the moon, yeah, or riding in the buggy, so
much better.

Speaker 1 (01:25:05):
I want to go in the dude that you want
to go in the moon buggy or almost have all
of your oxygen run out. I'm going moon buggy, ross
your moon buggy, team Moon buggy right second that motion, yeah,
do the moon buggy. So anyway, yeah, so very sad
sad news there. I just I just remember how funny

(01:25:27):
that was. He's like, God, I rather have got to
the moon. Really go to the moon, because you know
that's the mission. He said it a little more, I
would have mocked the dude relentlessly, he said, a little
more professionally, but still, yeah, moon buggy. All right. I
have no idea what these things are, so somebody's going

(01:25:48):
to have to explain this to me. Loo boo boo dolls.
Does anybody know what the hell those are? Because they're
being used to basic say that the economy is dog
crap under Trump and then I don't And that there's
some sort of index.

Speaker 6 (01:26:07):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (01:26:07):
And here's what they mean by that. It's called it's
sometimes called the lipstick index. You know what this is.
This is a this is a real turn so lipstick index.
It's basically the idea that whether there's economic downturns uh,
people will not splurge on big items. Right, They're not
out buying boats and going on big trips, so they
splurge on smaller items. And I guess lipstick is a splurge.

(01:26:30):
I don't know, but that's why they call it that.
And so when you see an uptick in the small
luxury items that that's some sort of economic indicator that
the economy sucks. Here's why this is stupid because I
didn't know what a laboo boo doll was. The laboo
boo doll is just the next hot little trend that

(01:26:50):
people want to have.

Speaker 3 (01:26:51):
It's a doll and it's powered by black magic, and
it symbolizes the person and if you put a needle
in it, it'll harm that person. That's a different And
now you said you would a voodoo doll. No, la
boo boo? What la boo boo? I know, right, So
if you know what it is, I retract my statement.

Speaker 1 (01:27:10):
It's a status symbol that women attached to their Louis
Vutan purses. Okay, I have a question if you think
the la booboo doll is an indicator of an economic
downturn where they get the Louis Vuitton purse. This is
the dumbest thing. It's a status symbol among women, and
it's because like Rihanna does it in a bunch of us.
I had to learn this so I could tell it

(01:27:30):
to you because I had no idea. They're just a
little viral doll. They typically sell for twenty to forty dollars,
but they're really hard to find. And then that's why
some CNN Economists is like, well, clearly this means that
the Trump economy is broke. No, it means that sometimes
women who watch the Kardashians and have to do what

(01:27:51):
everyone does and be vapid also want to show off
for each other, and so they go get the stupid
little doll.

Speaker 3 (01:27:57):
It sounds like a beanie baby accessory, fair expensive purse.

Speaker 1 (01:28:01):
Yes, although beanie baby, oh my gosh, Like that's there's
another thing. If you weren't around for that, do you
ever you go over somebody's house for they were way
too into beanie babies?

Speaker 3 (01:28:13):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (01:28:13):
No, No.

Speaker 3 (01:28:13):
I worked at the World of Science. Oh okay, this
is before I cut my finger open and bled all
over the fossils, which we've talked about before in the
show Different Story. Yeah, I was working there and they
would have it was on Tuesdays. Tuesdays they would bring
in the new Beatie Babies, and these people, these psychotic people,
would camp out in front of the World of Science
just to see the new Beanie babies. They were nuts,

(01:28:37):
absolute lunatics, and they would fight over them. We would
we would bring them out and you'd put them out
in the display and these people would push each other
out of the way to get the latest beanie baby.
Absolutely insane.

Speaker 1 (01:28:47):
You know what I've said. Have you seen the fights
at the Pokemon vending machines. Those are happening now. You'll
see some videos because they'll load them and then the
people get in line and if some guy's taking long
as his transactions, guy gets really mad, goes to get
to the score manager and then a fight ensues. I've
seen a couple of videos that is nothing compared to
what Ross is talking about. The beanie babies was lunacy,

(01:29:10):
absolute lunacy. My my friend's mom had a room of
them and I think I think it led to their
divorce of his parents because she spent. I can't remember
it the number. He told me what the number was
one time he spent. It was like a car for
beanie babies.

Speaker 3 (01:29:29):
And they were not rich. You had people they were
like basing this economy around beanie babies. It was as
insane as like the tulip thing that happened back in
the day.

Speaker 1 (01:29:37):
Yeah, or they would compare them to like baseball cards.
They oh, well they hold it. Don't get me wrong.
Sports collectibles are a that is an investment strategy that's
not necessarily a horrible one if you know what you're doing.
But baseball cards have longevity. Beanie babies were a fad,
and so you know, once you finally once you can
finally get a hold of them, then you know then

(01:30:01):
that I'm sure there's some that are still collectible, but
for the most part, it was all garbage. And I'm
probably irritating some meanie baby people all right, race stage
that he's really into beanie babies. I think back in the.

Speaker 3 (01:30:12):
Day probably came.

Speaker 1 (01:30:13):
Yeah, No, it was just the new that the the
la buoboo thing I was telling you about. It's just
the next status symbol collectible because like Rihanna and the
Kardashians haven't clipped to their ten thousand dollars purses and
so the little tite each other over them, right, But
I was like, but it still is nothing compared to
the insanity that was the baby craze.

Speaker 8 (01:30:33):
I remember, I remember beating.

Speaker 1 (01:30:35):
Each other over toys. Yeah, oh, the cold days.

Speaker 8 (01:30:39):
It was the days, memories, memories.

Speaker 1 (01:30:42):
Yeah. Well, anyway, I just remember my mom, my friend's mom.
She spent like twenty thousand or something on them, and
I'm pretty sure it led to the divorce because she
was like.

Speaker 10 (01:30:51):
It's possible, right, they didn't have twenty thousand, Nona.

Speaker 1 (01:30:58):
No, No, you're a lunatic.

Speaker 10 (01:31:00):
Anyway, what's going on, sir, Well, bit of wet weather already,
seeing some a lot of it's just west of the
Triad getting in Yatkin County and west of that Alexander County,
Caddwell County, Burke County. Some heavy rain going on there,
even near Cleveland County. So as you go west, a
little bit more steady rain come east. Now, a few

(01:31:20):
spotty showers here and there. Seeing a little batch going
through northern Moor County, heading towards southern Chatham County, back
and forth on wipers a few times. I think that's
it this morning, except if you go west, un likely showers,
thunderstorms this afternoon, scattered around though, low eighties, and I
really think it's a lather rinse repeat tomorrow or scattered
showers and thunderstorms in the afternoon. Probably a get on Wednesday.

(01:31:40):
So we're going into a little bit wetter weather pattern.
Case it's going to help keep temperatures down a bit
by late week, though we may be back to ninety
with just some of the afternoon stuff.

Speaker 3 (01:31:48):
Going on.

Speaker 10 (01:31:49):
So for now, we'll keep the wet weather around, keep
the rain gear handy, and expect temperatures to stay I'd
say moderate next few days, but by the end of
the week again, I think we're well into the eighties
and for the Triangle, maybe back to ninety degrees.

Speaker 1 (01:32:02):
Okay, thank you, sir, appreciate it. Yeah, I have a
good one and we'll come back with Jeff Bellinger next.
What's up, Jeff, Well, good morning.

Speaker 7 (01:32:08):
Casey and Vidia and Advanced micro Devices have worked out
an unusual deal with Washington. They will be allowed to
sell chips to China, and they will pay fifteen percent
of the revenue from those sales to the federal government.
All of this reflecting President Trump's desire for a payout
for America in return for concessions on trade. The Trump

(01:32:29):
administration may be winding down its trade negotiations with other
countries this fall. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessen told the Nick
News agency in Japan the US expects to have most
talks wrapped up by October. A number of key trading partners,
including Canada, Mexico, and Switzerland, still hoping to work out
more favorable terms. Companies that have been absorbing the new

(01:32:51):
tariffs on imported goods won't do so forever. Goldman Sachs
as consumers have been largely shielded from the levies, but
history suggests merchants will start to pass the costs along
to consumers. A Federal Reserve Board governor is making the
case for multiple interest rate cuts before the end of
the year. Michelle Bowman spoke at a weekend banking conference

(01:33:12):
in Washington. She said that in light of recent week
job market data, she would like to see three rate cuts.
A couple of money transfer companies are merging. It's a
Monday deal. Not the biggest of the deals we talked
about recently, but Western Union is acquiring International Money Express.
It's a deal worth about half a billion dollars. And Casey,

(01:33:32):
it is the end of an era. After providing dial
up internet service for more than forty years, AOL is
preparing to end that service. It will be shut down
September thirtieth. Apple Insider says AOL had ten million Internet
subscribers as of nineteen ninety five. That number is dwindled.
It's now reported to be in the low thousands nationwide.

Speaker 1 (01:33:54):
Casey, dear god So we've been talking about this this morning.
So they're stills of people using AOL dial up.

Speaker 7 (01:34:03):
Yeah, apparently, so we were surprised here too.

Speaker 1 (01:34:06):
I think it's I'm all, I like, somebody's just it's
got to be one of those bills somebody forgot about.
It's just been recurring for like twenty years, and they
just don't sake the credit card statements. All right, man,
like gen Z doesn't understand how the internet used to be. Oh,
they've never heard that sound. Yeah, man, all right, thanks, Jeff,
appreciate it.

Speaker 3 (01:34:26):
Okay, have a good day.

Speaker 1 (01:34:27):
Yeah. Oh, that's even more terrified because I didn't have
that number in my story. Thousands. There's thousands of people
still use AOL dial up. I'm trying to think of
a scenario, because if you can get a phone line
to your house, you can get better than AOL. It's
not like it's some guy's cabin where he was able.
If you can run a phone line, you you could

(01:34:47):
still have the feasibility to get something.

Speaker 3 (01:34:49):
I'm telling you. I think it's like older people like
my mother would still have that. If she's still at Internet,
she would have never upgraded.

Speaker 1 (01:34:54):
Yeah, I'm assuming that's what it's gotta be. And some
of those are really sad. I remember reading a story
where this one because you used to you know, you
used to rent phones, ross did you know that they've
gone way way back in the day. You would you'd
literally go to the phone company wanted a phone, they'd
give you the phone, but they'd rent it to you.
And that still happens. And they had a story about
some some old lady who's hurt. When she died, her

(01:35:17):
kids found out that she had been charged this obscene.
She was renting her phone, the physical phone, from the company,
and they had just continued to charge her like every
month you could have bought a new phone at today's prices.
So yeah, I don't know. Some of that stuff sticks through. Man,
You don't know, you don't know. All Right, One other

(01:35:40):
thing real quick, this dude is about to get paid.
This is crazy in the city of Seattle. So they
have they have they've been investigating some arson which have
caused deaths. So they have a murder of a murdering arsonist,
right and then uh and people were like, oh, you
got to make an arrest, so they us did this

(01:36:00):
dude Leyton, she has spelled s hi the last name,
and that's important. And they they we got our guy.
Here's our guy, and they purp blocked him and they
threw him in jail. They had him on four million
dollars bond, which is crazy because nobody gets bombed out
in Seattle, but whatever, and as you can imagine, this

(01:36:24):
guy super pariah. The piece of evidence that was the
real like slam dunk, is a receipt from a Seattle
based hamburger chain called Dick's Driving, and that would put
this dude at at the scene of where when this happened,
right at the time. And then there was some other evidence,

(01:36:45):
but it's harder to tell if it's him because it's
kind of grainy video. But that was that was it
right there here, he is right here. They all this
other stuff, the circumstantial stuff, he did it. Okay, So
they got into court and they and they were finally
allowed challenge this. And the problem is is that this
guy is named Leyton. She the receipt says it's somebody

(01:37:08):
named she Layton. I know what you're saying. They put
the last name first, not no, no, no, no no. They
just never bothered to check that this guy who's name
wasn't reversed, so they just had to let him out
of jail. His job's gone, his family wasn't talking to him.
Absolutely destroyed his life because you know, when somebody says
you're the murder arsonist, a lot of people don't want

(01:37:29):
to hang out with you anymore or be around you.
And so as woke as they are, they didn't realize
that actually that from a cultural standpoint, those names can
go either way, so not him, And in fact they
also his cell phone clearly showed he was at home

(01:37:49):
at the time of this, or at least his cell
phone was. But there was activity, and there were the
whole thing seemed like a railroad job. But on the
bright side, you may not need that job anymore, sir,
because I bet your lawyers getting the lawsuit ready.

Speaker 3 (01:38:04):
Man,
