Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Ross.

Speaker 2 (00:00):
Did you actually get outside of your house in any way,
shape or form without melting over the weekend?

Speaker 3 (00:05):
Normal stuff, but it was really nice, feels like fall. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (00:08):
Oh well, dude, you just screwed the pooch man, so
the oven will be back. I don't know, Ray, Yeah,
I don't even know if RaSE back, but somebody will
tell us some forty five coming up. Sitting here fighting
my login this morning again it reset. How many updates
does one laptop need to do? I guess it would

(00:30):
be the question for our company, So I think it's
I think it's some sort of like weird spyware because
I clicked an email she probably got me, so I
don't know what's going on with this thing. But we're
in the middle of resetting once again. So uh anyway,
all right, so a few things to talk about over
the weekend, well actually starting Friday, so everyone's uh. Any

(00:55):
This was more of a hallmark during the first term
because it's just happened so many times now that it
doesn't get any traction because it's the chicken little effect
with Trump, right Trump, Trump gets rid of somebody, even
if it's somebody who's appointed and serves at the pleasure
of the president, and then they're like, well, that's it.

(01:15):
The entire government and country is going to collapse. And
then you know, nothing happens or somehow it turns out better. Now, look,
not everything's a winner, but you know, the head of
the the the people who just have to put the
jobs report together. I mean, I understand that the Bureau
of Labor Statistics does more than that, but that's primarily

(01:37):
what you and I know them for, is all right,
what are the numbers? Has always struck me, as you know,
it's an important thing to know, but I've never understood why.
During I don't know, the Biden administration, they would be like,
all right, all right, so the unemployment numbers are they're down.

(02:00):
You're like, oh, okay, all right, well it is what
it is. And then a month later when they readjust
they're like, no, actually, unemployments up like forty percent. We
just we had to adjust it for later. I don't remember,
in any aspect of my career as an adult, doing
this show, or doing shows that had business reports where

(02:21):
they were making adjustments every damn time of that size.
It never struck me. And and and yet I would
by the administration that became a joke on the show
at ross am I hallucinating that became like a running
joke on the show We'll just wait till they readjust.

Speaker 3 (02:39):
Them, you know, it became a thing.

Speaker 2 (02:40):
Yeah, So if you become a thing and you kind
of have one job and the thing is that your
job you're not very good at. I don't know how
about that. But if I came in here to do
the radio show, but I had such an accent, you
couldn't hear it, you could understand what the hell I
was saying. It's not a very useful talk radio host.

(03:04):
Just my two cents. So I think everything. Everybody will live, Okay,
it's gonna be okay, all right, so just you know,
chill pill people. So anyway, you did that and then
things didn't implode over the weekend. So anyway, Frank, I
have a list like this, you should fire the Senate

(03:25):
parliamentarian next whoever that partisan piece of crap is. Look
if you're going to and and people will go, well no,
it's the reason is is because the person who you
think that they're giving a raw deal to is just
an idiot? Are they? Or have you guys been wrong
about a bunch of stuff. Well, remember we're supposed to

(03:50):
be in it's supposed to be like hunger games around
here right now, right everyone should be rash. You have
to go like, uh, you go loot his neighbors house
for food because the economies collapse because tariffs? Right, what's
up with that? So I don't want to hear it. Sorry, sorry,

(04:15):
And uh yes, I don't even have to make the
argument that, you know, there's the real world and then
there's you know, working for government and in the real world,
if you do things and you're not good, even if
you don't really do things, but it just becomes a
better fit. That's that's how it goes, man, that's how

(04:38):
it goes. It's uh, it's dog you dog out there?

Speaker 1 (04:41):
You know.

Speaker 2 (04:43):
The There was a guy, the guy did radio with
who in Minneapolis, And when I first met him, cause
I'm doing one thing, he's doing another. When I first
met him, he had he had a sidekick, he had
he had somebody worked with and him and I just
came friends over the years, and finally one day he's
just like, I want you, I want you to be

(05:06):
the second on the show. And I felt very conflicted
about that, but it was a much better show after that.
And actually they just rolled the guy over to another
thing which actually worked out from but still, that's just
that's the that's how it works. Man.

Speaker 3 (05:21):
Wow, you see these ratings just came out. We got
a thousand share. We got a thousand share.

Speaker 2 (05:26):
Man, we're still having the media after the show.

Speaker 3 (05:28):
Okay wait wait wait wait wait wait wait a little revision. Okay, yeah,
we got we got a one share.

Speaker 2 (05:36):
No, no, wow, man, that's close. They both start with one,
you see. Yeah, yeah, that's how you let's how you
save your job, buddy. They look they they both start
with one. I got confused. So yeah, that's just that's
just the reality.

Speaker 1 (05:51):
Man.

Speaker 3 (05:51):
It's weird because you saw it throughout the Biden administration,
Like you said, the same thing would happen. So they like,
you know, we got nine billion new jobs. Yay, you
got nine billion new jobs last month, dude, nine billion,
and everybody'd be like ea in the market would be
like yay, we're doing awesome, and everything would go up
into the green.

Speaker 2 (06:09):
And then they get everything we would say on Friday
ago that's us.

Speaker 3 (06:12):
Yeah, and then they come out with the revision and
be love, oh we're off by eight billion, nine hundred
ninety nine million, nine hundred ninety nine thousand, nine hundred
ninety eight. But we're we're kind of Close'd be like,
how does that happen? So you got two new dog catchers.
That's nice, good for you, And they say, you know, well,
it's the process. The process is the problem. Well, maybe
you should change the process or come out with the

(06:33):
total number before you give us that first number.

Speaker 2 (06:36):
Here's the deal, here's the deal. The process is probably
fine if it's conducted because it's been the process forever.
People understand a certain margin of air because you're collecting
from all these different sources. Totally get it. The problem
is during the Biden administration, you juiced the numbers for

(06:56):
a guy who's already extremely juiced. Well not here, he's not.
He's a walking corpse, but he is post COVID. So
if you have to remember every tweet that the White
House had sent out to be like, we created five
hundred thousand new jobs this week, and people are just like, yeah,
you just made it so people could go to the office,
right and and so you already have that advantage, and

(07:19):
they took full advantage of it. They would report that
without context, and like Joe Biden's the greatest jobs president ever.
And Donald Trump sat there because again, Donald Trump has
an ego, you're not president without one, and he sat
there during the Biden administration and he watched every straight
faced reporter go, could you believe Joe Biden? He's amazing.
He's created two million new jobs. And it's like you

(07:42):
just said people could go back to factory work. What
did you think was gonna happen?

Speaker 3 (07:45):
And even after that, right, the jobs they would create,
they would still juice them. Yeah, they was still juicing,
but they'd be federal jobs.

Speaker 2 (07:51):
Right.

Speaker 3 (07:51):
So, I mean we've cut a lot.

Speaker 2 (07:52):
Of direct yet a lot of that point, right, we've.

Speaker 3 (07:54):
Cut a lot of that government and also the part
of you know, like like a native boor and sort
of jobs have gone up and like the others, what
the deported, you know, those jobs aren't there anymore.

Speaker 2 (08:07):
So which report is that? I want to look that up?
Which one is that?

Speaker 3 (08:12):
Listen? Man, we got a thousand. I got the numbers again.
Numbers are back and we got all allow.

Speaker 2 (08:19):
Okay, wow, Oh you know it's really bad is if
they get three adjusted to one and instead of one
out of one hundred, it's one out of a thousand.

Speaker 3 (08:27):
Oh, I got bad news, Buddy star Wars.

Speaker 2 (08:29):
Yeah, I'd be like a ten share, but out of
one thousand, it's bad.

Speaker 3 (08:32):
Man, I don't know.

Speaker 2 (08:34):
All right, Well, I'm gonna go find that report. Ross
gonna help me. We will be right back. Hang on.
Most people want to start their day with at O
dark thirty. Ross and I were just talked about jobs,
numbers and statistics. Everybody's favorite. So no, no, no, no,
just like the going back to Friday, and I know
that it just gets lost so quickly in the ether

(08:56):
that is our news cycle, even over the weekends. But
I just I saw people freaking out there about the
UH Bureau of Labor Statistics person getting fired, and I'm like, yeah,
I kind of feel like they weren't really good at
their job for four years all of a sudden. Now
the whole thing is because Ross was telling me he

(09:18):
was actually surprised figure out how they how they you know,
they they assemble this and the process and all that.
Let me play that if I can get the damn
next gen to actually boot, we're gonna find out here.
In about thirty seconds, I had to reset that computer too, so.

Speaker 3 (09:32):
That was.

Speaker 2 (09:35):
It's a whole vibe this morning. All right, now it
looks like it's loading, so I'll get to the Sydney
Sweeney story. Boston Paul who the first thing of emails man,
that's before the show. No, never mind, it's it's after
the show started. It wouldn't but it's just a few minutes.
So all right, it's it's not hard numbers because you

(09:59):
you're you're getting the snapshot and so they they literally
will hear.

Speaker 3 (10:04):
There it goes.

Speaker 2 (10:05):
I don't know why that was such a bearesss Morn't
you have troublem with the next show when you're putting
spots on this morning? Oh wow, okay, so just picking
on me today. Perfect, okay, Ah, it's the slowest thing possible.
It's not hard numbers. It's it's a survey, right, and
even says so. But it's also an estimating survey, so

(10:27):
it's nothing's going to be perfect, and there will be readjustments.
The problem is people. It's people who are in the
biz and rely on this thing more so than just
when you hear Jeff Bellinger read it at the end
of the week where they have the government and then
the non government reports. They they understand, right, they understand

(10:50):
the the process, so they can bake into their how
it how it impacts how they then you know, treat
the markets or do other things. They can go ahead
and take that in. But when you deviate so far
and you have so many readjustments and they all seem
to again, it's where these things where all the errors
favor one one direction or the other. Yeah, yeah, and

(11:14):
you can't even give me the well, you know, after
COVID was crazy. Actually, after COVID was pretty predictable. If
people are not allowed to go into a in a
factory setting, okay, and then one day they are and
they like the company understands what they're gonna do, right,
Not that they probably wouldn't slow roll it back. You

(11:36):
just don't give everybody their job back if you're ever
in supply chain issues, but you probably have a plan
for that. So like these should be easier numbers to
put together. That's all I'm saying. All right, which kind
is the explainer? Cut? Now? Sorry I was not, it's
just literally yeah, okay, all right, crazy town? All right,

(12:03):
all right, So the so the longer one is the
guy who had the job before the person who was
just fired. Correct, all right, just so I have okay,
all right, sorry, I just I literally this person I've
been able to stare at my button bar. So all right,
So this is an explainer from the previous girl of
labor statistics kind of how they put it together. And
tell me if this surprises you, can you explain to us.

(12:24):
The President said that the BLS commissioner rigged these numbers. Yeah,
what do you think.

Speaker 4 (12:30):
There's no way for that to happen. The commissioner doesn't
do anything to collect the numbers. The commissioner doesn't see
the numbers for until Wednesday before they're published. By the
time the commissioner sees the numbers, they're all prepared, they're
locked into the computer system. The only thing the commissioner
does on Wednesday is to kind of do the edits
on the text. So there's no hands on at all

(12:51):
for the commissioner. I was commissioner, and I was sometimes
locked out of the process of actually, you know where
the people were working in the building, so there's no
way for doing that. Well, I think really upset the
president on Friday with the revisions to May and June,
big revisions all right.

Speaker 2 (13:09):
I was gonna pause this guy here because here's the problem.
You're not Fort Knox Ahole. Okay, right, this isn't it's
not a surgical environment. I don't believe that you're not
as the as the director or the commissioner of this
thing that you can't walk down the hall and say
good morning to the girls.

Speaker 5 (13:24):
Right.

Speaker 2 (13:25):
Oh no, it's they locked in like like it's the
papal conclave. Yeah, I couldn't talk to him. Here's the deal.
I don't care if you don't if you're not in
the middle of assembling the numbers, if they keep giving
you numbers that are wrong, this is what they don't know.
If they keep giving you numbers the head are wrong
at some point, even though you're not allowed in the
stats room, which I again don't believe. This isn't the

(13:48):
map room from the Churchill movie with his new secretary.
I don't believe you. I think people talk around there,
and I think you get some sense of what it
is because you're probably having meetings all weekly to it.
And in the same way that I get annoyed around
a presidential election with the people going, oh, who's going
to win, I'll bet the Commissioner of the Bureau of
Labor Statistics when he goes to his Washington cocktail parties. Hey,

(14:10):
what's the job number? Is going to look like bah? Okay,
So I don't believe you. But even if you didn't
see it, and they keep you just have these record adjustments.
At some point, do you not sit your employees down? Hey,
all hands meeting? Oh crap, we have one of those
coming up too. I think anyway, all hands meeting? Why

(14:32):
are you guys fing up? What's going on?

Speaker 4 (14:34):
But that's because like every time we publish on Friday,
there are revisions to the previous two months. This is
a survey, and a survey has sample returns.

Speaker 3 (14:44):
You know, people have done surveys. You know the answer
your phone.

Speaker 2 (14:47):
You're basically like a pole, yes, like a poll. Okay.

Speaker 4 (14:50):
Not everybody in the country is asked the question are
you working?

Speaker 2 (14:54):
Are you looking for work?

Speaker 4 (14:55):
Just just a handful and businesses, about six hundred thousand businesses. Well,
they don't all get their return gent on time. I
would like them ult come in a time, but BLS
keeps the door open for two more months to.

Speaker 3 (15:09):
Get more information.

Speaker 4 (15:10):
So what you saw on Friday was the effect of
trying to do a better job.

Speaker 3 (15:16):
Getting more information. And let me just end with this.

Speaker 4 (15:20):
Studies show that BLS is getting a doing a better
job now than they did twenty years ago, thirty years
years ago in estimating the first number. So even those
revised two more times, that seventy three thousand will be
revised two more times, and that's they're more accurate now
than they were thirty one.

Speaker 2 (15:41):
But they're not. But they're not. Though. It was interesting
because we're the five I nations, we're friends, we join
up every twenty years. They're in the early nineteen hundreds
to kick most of Europe's behind, And then you see
these stories out of Australia or the UK and you're

(16:02):
just like, do I don't want to be like them?
But then moonbats and like I want to be just
like them? And what's going on with the censorship they're
in the UK right now? That is that is what
Biden was wanting to do. And Republicans in the UK
or Tories or whatever they call themselves, they opened the
door for this, just like you saw with the FISA

(16:23):
courts and George Bush with the Patriot Act. I started
with Bush and then they abused it as a as
a coup to undermine an incoming president they didn't like.
In the UK, what's going on right now are Oh,
we're gonna we're gonna protect children on the internet. So
now we need to have somebody sit in the room
with you when you're on their internet digitally and make

(16:45):
sure everything's fine. Well, if you're not searching bad stuff,
it shouldn't be a problem. Oh, I see, you're searching
how to get me unelected. Can't have that. They have
some lady who's kind of like a I'm trying to
think what she'd be on Fox News and Fox News.
I don't know who's the young, sassy Republican girl on

(17:08):
Fox right now. I really don't watch that much. Uh
maybe that chick from The Fix, Not the not the
one with glasses, obviously not her, but the other one.
I saw an interview with her yesterday and on Friday
they did a segment because like they had problems, like literally,
people from the government called her up to talk about it.

(17:29):
That's scary stuff, man, And she's a little over the top.
But I watched the segment. It's opinion mixed with two
stories that are actual stories that were happening Oh, they
love that stuff. So I used to waffle in between
because I know that there were big socialist dreams of
foot here in the US, but it's even in practical
we Go Canada was another one we were watching, and

(17:51):
then they go full moonback. They're captured man, New Zealand Captured.
New Zealand had that that, although she did backpedal a little,
which was kind of crazy. I think she got two
moonback too quick and it wasn't going well, so she
had to pretend like she wasn't part of it. But
she had that. She was kind of like their Barack
Obama where you had the prime Minister come just hear

(18:14):
me out, to come in and she was a pop star. Well,
which one of the late night hosts flew to New Zealand.
I remember it was that Colbert. It was Colbert, one
of them, and they're all hanging out. They're like it
looked like a first date or something. It was just weird.

Speaker 3 (18:29):
Man.

Speaker 2 (18:30):
I'm like, wait, she's prime minister in New Zealand, which
I can be down with until your drug stashing KFC
enthusiast right Ross reminded me of this one of the weirdest,
craziest funniest but also most Orwellian stories that we saw
was in New Zealand when they shut things down for
COVID and then people because they couldn't work and they

(18:53):
need money, resorted to essentially moonshining. Oh I guess they
weren't making it themselves. Oh good, here we go. Next
one just restarted again.

Speaker 3 (19:03):
Thank you?

Speaker 2 (19:04):
All right? They ross what were they smuggling into Auckland
or christ Dragon, one of the big cities.

Speaker 3 (19:11):
I can't remember if I remember correctly. It was like
KFC KFC playing buckets a chicken.

Speaker 2 (19:16):
Because in the in the rural areas you could have
KFC under strict rules. In the cities though, because of
the population density, none of that. And so people figured
out if they lived in Jaboo Booboo or whatever, you know,
some weird name down in the New Zealand and their
KFC was open, they could load up the trunk of
their car, drive into the big city and smuggle KFC.

(19:39):
And they busted one of these guys and they had,
like I don't know, they had all the chicken right,
the whole trunk was full. And the police in New
Zealand stopped them and arrested them and find them and
confiscated the KFC. But to add to it, Ross, I'll
let you tell it. What was the greatest part about
what they did next.

Speaker 3 (19:59):
I don't know if we're going to say the same thing.
I just remember they did.

Speaker 2 (20:01):
It like we got them, like you so we just
caught a targ smuggler thing with it all sitting there right.

Speaker 3 (20:08):
Like like all the the KFC and like all the
fast foods spread across the table like you see, and
like you know, hey, we found the drug dealer. And
it's like all the bags like kilos of cocaine and
the guns and stuff.

Speaker 2 (20:18):
But this is it's always five deputy standing there, which
is fine, like you did a good job. But they
were standing there over KFC and I don't know, maybe
their captain or whatever whoever's in charge or no, what's
what's the what's the horrible British word that they used
for lieutenant? This is you make fun of a burnishment
and all that. What's the this is the this is
the British and then former British colonies. That drives me.

(20:43):
How do they say, is it like lieutenant or something?
It's yeah, that's not how.

Speaker 3 (20:49):
They spelled the lift there's there's no f in there.

Speaker 1 (20:54):
Man.

Speaker 2 (20:55):
No, no, no, it's right there. You can't see it.
It's right there. It's like right there. It hides. But yeah,
they say left tend I'll lose my mind. So I
don't know. Maybe the left tend had told him to
do that, but I don't know. That was pretty bad.
And then the UK iviously, I don't have to remind you,
but let's head over to Australia, shall we. That's head
over to Australia. I'm sure things are fine, okay, all right,

(21:19):
what's going on? I heard you guys have a new
thing starting up.

Speaker 6 (21:22):
From the first of September, when the ban of machetes
takes place, we are rolling out through Victoria Police at
twenty four seven police stations.

Speaker 2 (21:30):
These don't be confused. I don't you say, you say, Casey,
didn't we just do this story? No, that was that
was the UK with their machetes. This is Australia.

Speaker 6 (21:39):
From the first of September, when the ban of machetes
takes place, we are rolling out through Victoria Police at
twenty four seven police stations. The safe disposal bins. These
will be at locations right across the state. There'll be
locations where people can come and lawfully dispose of any
machete that they may already have at one of these beans,

(22:00):
sciphling and securely. And we've done these because we want
to get these knives off the straits, because these knives
destroy lives.

Speaker 2 (22:09):
Okay, look, I will be the first to admit that
historically machetes can be used to perche three generations, generations
of the bloodline of your sworn enemy. Okay, we have
examples of that, but that's not what machetes are mostly
used for. And something tells me the idiot's coming out.
First of all, it's Australia. I'm pretty sure if you
confiscate all the machetes, you're like half your population is

(22:29):
going to die on their commute, right, isn't it? It
is they have to be outside. Is everything wants to
kill you?

Speaker 1 (22:35):
But no.

Speaker 2 (22:36):
On a more serious note, if you ever owned a
piece of property with any sort of plant on it,
you you use a machete or a variation of it,
even if yours is electrical. But if you just need
to cut something quick, what do you go out with?
Garden clippers or machete? And I will tell you this.
If you go to parts of the world and you

(22:59):
know you don't even have to, especially if you go
to like Latin America, people use machetes for gardening all
day every day. In fact, I've even I've been on
a golf I was on Uh. I was playing at
Northridge right uh. And it was it was the I
remember too because it was the big charity event when
they years ago when they had the celebrity thing with

(23:22):
the big cancer fundraiser with Jimmy v stuff. It was
at Northridge. I remember playing in it. We had by
the Way Ross, we had Candace Cameron was our celebrity.

Speaker 3 (23:32):
It's pretty cool.

Speaker 2 (23:33):
She was very nice. Yes, that was very cool. We
come around and there's a tea box on this par
five on the back nine of this course, and it's
just a horrible like it was. It's a really tight shot,
big dog Lake and you come around the corner on
the carts and one of the maintenance guys is swinging
a machete. That's all you see. And I remember it

(23:55):
scared the crap out of her, but know it's just
one of the the maintenance guys. He's just try because
he didn't want to hold this off out ross. Do
you use a machete? No, hold on, do you use
a non motorized cutting device at any point in maintaining
your yard?

Speaker 3 (24:08):
You know, I don't have a machete, but what I
do use. We have these azilia bushes on the corner
of our house, like weeds. Man, Yeah, these like think
like viney weeds. Weeds grow, They're nice, but you got
to keep them in check. Yeah. So, Like, I just
take my dad's k bar from Vietnam from like eighteen
sixty eight, and this thing is what over like almost
like sixty years old or something, and it is still

(24:28):
razor sharp and it cuts those vines super I just
flipped cut.

Speaker 2 (24:33):
The Think about the danger. How sharp it is. Your
dad was when he emerged from the water holding it
in his teeth, covered in mud, right at the enemy.

Speaker 3 (24:40):
I'm telling you he actually did. I we we read
those letters before in the show where he hid under
bodies during Ted pretended he was dead, came out and
then stabbed a dude in the back with it. Like yeah, no,
it is super sharp and it takes care of the bushes.

Speaker 2 (24:56):
Yeah, no problem, Mark viet Congress alias Yeah yeah so
so yes, And in fact, In fact, if you go
to places that where it's less likely that somebody may
own a motorized version of it, because that's just the
economic reality. Machetes like literally are used to cut lawns.
I'm not making this not a huge thing, but I've
watched dudes. I've watched dudes cut lawns with that stuff

(25:20):
in uh in Costa Rica and in Panama and other
places I've traveled there.

Speaker 3 (25:25):
They're also really good at purging camps of these pesky
counselors these Yeah.

Speaker 2 (25:32):
Well but you gotta follow safety protocol. You want to
wear a mask.

Speaker 3 (25:35):
You do, right?

Speaker 1 (25:36):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (25:36):
Yeah, yeah, like a hockey mask or something.

Speaker 2 (25:38):
Well, whatever's handy, I guess would be the right choice there,
you do you Because it's a free country, at least
it used to be in Australia.

Speaker 3 (25:45):
It's like, oh right, and all these cam I means
disgusting the fornication that goes on of these camps.

Speaker 2 (25:50):
Yeah, why are you get a skinny dip all day
or every day? Right? Plus I heard they were mean
to some of the other campers.

Speaker 3 (25:56):
Oh ude, they're bullies.

Speaker 2 (25:58):
Yeah, so again, machetes have a lot of different uses,
but all in Australia just blows my mind because people
in Australia have property, and I know that they're jammed
in those population centers, but a lot of people live
on a little five acre parcels or whatever just outside
the city because you can get like, because there's all
that land, right, you're willing to get a little ways
out there. You got land, well, not just the stuff

(26:20):
that's going to kill you, but you gotta maintain it. Man.

Speaker 3 (26:23):
Man, that's the country. The entire cont is just falling off.

Speaker 2 (26:26):
Do we have I was just thinking on our on
our wallwrack in the barn. There's a bunch of machetes
in there. I don't remember I remember using them. I
just don't remember for what. I'm pretty sure it wasn't genocide,
so pretty sure.

Speaker 3 (26:37):
I mean when you think of that, you know, Australia,
you think of what kangaroos?

Speaker 2 (26:41):
No, no, no, that's not a knife, right, and that's not
a knife from.

Speaker 3 (26:46):
Yeah, that's that's it. And are you taking that away?
It's nuts.

Speaker 2 (26:51):
Well they're taking away for people who comply.

Speaker 3 (26:54):
Well, I mean they're they're killing everyone.

Speaker 2 (26:56):
Yeah. U k's a little further ahead since the sharpened
spoon conface, it's already happened. But let's say in Australia,
everything's not trying to kill you. But then I read
about rape gang, So I don't know.

Speaker 3 (27:09):
It's just so dumb. Come and put your machete in
this bin because they're murdering people. I don't know. Maybe
it's a crazy little tickes wielding the machetes in Rwanda.

Speaker 2 (27:16):
I would understand this, right, they're in a certain span
there in Rwanda. I understand why you want to gather
all the machetes up. That's not going on. And then
who will protect the Aussie citizens from the from the
uh the EMUs? Right, we just had emuse sabotage in
something last week. So, or at least we think so

(27:37):
that's going on. But I will tell you not everything's
over in Australia. There are some people making the best
of it. Is this guy an a hole? Or should
we make him president?

Speaker 7 (27:47):
Mother has been forced to block dozens of coles after
her ex partner allegedly took her phone number and plasted
on Paul's here on the same a day telling people
to coal up and impersonate schew Baka for a chance
to win one hundred dollars.

Speaker 6 (28:02):
This would be the most childish breakup I've ever had.

Speaker 1 (28:05):
Like all we had to do was be mature and
go I don't love you anymore.

Speaker 3 (28:08):
I want to move on.

Speaker 7 (28:09):
The calls have been waking her and her three young
children up at odd hours in the evening, and they
yet to stop.

Speaker 3 (28:20):
I won't five hundred Well, I'm.

Speaker 8 (28:23):
Getting phone calls that really tene hours of the night,
about one o'clock till four o'clock.

Speaker 7 (28:27):
Forts to call back the wanna be wookies and tear
down the posters.

Speaker 2 (28:31):
Oh is that guy a legend or a hole? You know?

Speaker 3 (28:34):
I don't need to hear both sides. It's her fault.
Break up is her fault. Guy's a legend.

Speaker 2 (28:40):
We should probably make sure she doesn't have machetes. She
sounds a little p o'd, but.

Speaker 3 (28:43):
She didn't appreciate him, That's what I'm saying.

Speaker 2 (28:45):
I do well to be fair. The quality of the
second Wookie was not good.

Speaker 3 (28:50):
I mean, I can't do Chewbaca, Like, can you do
a Chebacca voice?

Speaker 2 (28:53):
No, Eil, whose nickname is Chewbacca can do it. Chewbacca.

Speaker 3 (28:57):
I've tried it.

Speaker 2 (28:58):
Also a big furry dude. It's like forres a cop
and he's just covered in hair, so it works. Yeah,
I can't do one. I could do one, I guess
if I was. I had like a really bad hangover, and.

Speaker 3 (29:08):
I mean yeah, because you know, I like a bunch
of maybe. I don't know. I like trying to do
you know, voices and stuff, and I've tried.

Speaker 2 (29:13):
I spoke a cigar the night before.

Speaker 9 (29:15):
I can't.

Speaker 3 (29:15):
You can't do it, you know, I can't come anywhere.
Chewbacca and Donald Duck can't do it. My dad used
to be able to do an amazing Donald Duck, and
I just I can't do it.

Speaker 2 (29:24):
Do you think Steven, what do you think? You over
under a Thursday of Steven can do it? Oh, he
can do Chewbacca, I remind me, and then I have
to explain I want to play that clip for him too,
So throw that in the Thursday stack. Yeah, but like
this says, sometimes when we see the story, it is pretty,
it's it's dark, right, somebody will be like ah, they'll
get mad and then they'll post They'll go to like

(29:45):
a swingers for him on Wikipedia or something not Wikipedia.
Let's say Craigslist, right with a Craigslist where you had
all the weird, creepy crap that they got rid of
a few years ago. They go on there and they'd
be like, I'm my name's Jill, and I love of
random people to break into my house and uh and
get me right, that's fine, throw that guy in jail,
right right. If people acted upon information, go, this is

(30:09):
just just Chewbacca. If I was here, I would have
insulted the Chewbacca people. I know it's gonna get you more,
but you want the best, you know, had some half
assed Chewbacca or doesn't the word Chewbacca's not making words? Ross?
How many Star Wars movies does Chewbacca use actual English
words in?

Speaker 3 (30:27):
I don't think there's any.

Speaker 2 (30:28):
No, I don't think there is. So really that guy
should not win one hundred dollars okay, all right, anyway
six fitty hang on if wherever it were with the
Brits again, uh, and we want to you know, a
British spy, right, and they've got a pretty good American
accent going on, and then you just put just you
find a situation where he make him pronounce lieutenant, and

(30:50):
it'll be like that scene in Inglorious Bastards where he
asked for three beers the wrong way, and the guy
knows that's it. In fact, there's a there's a content creator.
He was one of the funniest little bits I've seen
on the immigration stuff. The guy is he's Mexican dude,
all right, he's Mexican heritage. I'm gonna assume he's legal.
But and he does this whole bit where it's him
answering the door and it's front the we're from the government,

(31:11):
we want to check your papers, and they're like, he
won't open the door, and they're like, all right, answer
a series of questions. So they asked him some pop
culture questions and then they get to the very end
and they're like, pronounce Walmart.

Speaker 3 (31:23):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (31:24):
I don't know if you've heard that through a Latin accent.
It's got a bit of a g in it. And
the guy's like he's getting ready to say he goes Walmart.
Clearly I don't pronounce it as well, but it's it's
it's very noticeable. And then all this skit ends with
it sounds like his door is getting kicked in. It's
really funny. So I'm saying, we do that with the
lieutenant thing because or we put soccer on. If they

(31:45):
get excited, then you know, then you know. Although some
maga dude tried to go to a soccer match over
the weekend, it did not go well for him in
his mega hat. So and I thought, where is it?
What countries? Oh, it's us? Well yeah, man, yeah, they
decided to throw them out. Well, let me do this.
I'll tell you the story here in the next segment,

(32:08):
just because I got a very short amount of time here.
Also coming up on the show, what are those Jersey
a holes do to that whale? If you don't know
that story, we'll get into it. But they got beef.
They're lucky. Ross will tell you what. The Jersey short
people on that boat that the whale attacked clearly had
beef and it's a good thing that he did not

(32:29):
have a machete. These are quickly I don't want to
say they're quickly losing steam, but the enthusiasm is it
won't lose steam because frankly, a lot of those people
probably have nothing else going on during the day because
they're retired and this is how they fill their time,
so they're very passionate. I remember my grandfather retired he
got really into lawn bowling, which was interesting. Never really

(32:52):
knew anything about lawn bowling. I remember going to his
lawn bowling club with him, and I did like going, though,
because the old ladies will give me money. So I'm
just a kid, like, oh, ar Archie adorable. Here's like
I clean up there, man, But yeah, you got relanda
m bull. It was his passion and good on him. Like,
I hope what I'm retired, if I ever retired, that

(33:16):
I find something to fill my time, because I don't know.
I could just sit around the house all day, but yeah,
I'll probably be fishing or maybe traveling for some hunting
or stuff. I get down with that, or traveling. I
love to travel, but I don't know. There's the weird
it's the nineteen sixties again, protests larp.

Speaker 9 (33:35):
Is.

Speaker 2 (33:35):
It's it's strange, man, It's just strange. But again, the
most telling story is where's all the young folks at
right after usaid got gutted. That's that's weird, huh. Whereas
if you don't got anything else going on, you'll show
up to these things. Except I don't. I have to assume.
And the reason I bring up the age I'm gonna

(33:56):
play some audio for you here in a moment, I
want to oh dang, I was just going to Janet's
call to Okay, sorry Janet, all right, So let me
go ahead and get into this. So over the weekend
they had more protests. What were they calling this one?

Speaker 6 (34:11):
Uh?

Speaker 2 (34:13):
Do rage against the regime? See what they did there?
See what they did there? Ross it's a it's a
band reference. Probably not a band they're into though, although
I remember Rage against the Machine was at they came
out and at that RNC I was at, and over
at the State Capitol in Saint Paul, they did a

(34:34):
concert in the parking lot, which immediately turned into a
melee and we had to escape by jumping a curb
in the station vehicle, so we weren't arrested because we
were overcovered in And then they went and they busted
all the windows and tried to light the Macy's on fire.
So but also then they became the machine. So it's
really weird anyway, So this is rage against the regime.

(34:58):
And so they took to the streets across America. I
don't know if you saw them. I don't think they
had a gathering or a decent sized gathering in Raleigh.
But I see some pictures some people down there. So
but here, let me just get you a general sense,
shall we. Hey, Hey, the g O P has got

(35:22):
spoon not singing to the extent. Okay, shut up, not
singing to the extent. But that's not the part I
want to mock this morning. No, No, that part is
this right here?

Speaker 9 (35:47):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (35:48):
Yeah, all right, So what big thing yay, yay? Do it?
Do it with your your old arms that can't swing
too much? Flat dramatical extra punch to an old all right,
So wait one morning, because what they did at the

(36:19):
Rage against the Regime is they then proceeded to smash
pumpkins and watermelons, get it? Smashing pumpkins ross and I
got it? Yeah, okay, I just want to make sure
you got it. So if I saw a bunch of
twenty somethings doing it, I'd be like, they don't know,
they don't know what they're doing. But if you're of

(36:41):
retirement age and you're standing up there on a stage
smashing watermelons, surrounded by like a tarp too, surrounded by tarping,
what might that remind you of?

Speaker 3 (36:53):
That would probably be Gallagher.

Speaker 2 (36:55):
You guys did Gallagher as protests. You guys are got you.
You wanted to do this music thing and then you
did a Gallagher. The difference is Gallagher was talented and
interesting and you're not so. And then Ross you know
the whole story about how his brother then just kind
of did him. Do you know that with the Gallagher thing?

Speaker 3 (37:17):
Maybe I think we talked about it when he passed away.

Speaker 2 (37:20):
Yeah, but his brother was doing that when you're still alive,
and then there was some beef and then there wasn't,
so I don't even know what was up with that,
but uh yeah, so congratulations your protest turned into a
Gallagher show. And now I can't take it. Well, I
wasn't taking you seriously anyway, but like that's funny. What
else are you gonna what other shicks from yesteryear that
you guys should fully be aware of or you're gonna

(37:40):
incorporate into your protesting. That's what you guys should do.
You know, with the passing of Ozzie, I could help
you plan your next protest next week. Now the ped
of people are gonna be pissed, but it's it's how
you fight the regime or excuse me rage against the
regime because right now you just look dumb. And also

(38:02):
it is way to the perfect time of the year
for you guys be wasting perfectly good watermelons, and it
will soon be time for you to not be wasting pumpkins.
Not yet. It's actually it's actually kind of a funny
and a gotal thing with how the boomer generation gets.

(38:24):
And by the way, I don't subscribe to all the
boomers are horrible, that being said on the left, All
the boomers are horrible and because they squandered all the
resources and now there's none for us. And don't get
me wrong, I am very much on board where to
say that. In you know, the nineteen sixties, starting out

(38:45):
was the same as it is now. There's significant differences
when it comes to housing and certain things. That being said,
there's also a significant difference in attitude as to what
constitutes living right at that start out poverty level right
where you just didn't have as much stuff as you
do now. And I'm sorry, just because you can't afford

(39:05):
Netflix doesn't mean you're you're poor. Okay, that's just that's
the suck of it sometimes when you're getting started.

Speaker 3 (39:14):
But like.

Speaker 2 (39:17):
That being said, if if the narrative is that the
Boomers waste all the resources and you're out smashing all
the food, I don't know. I draw parallels. And then
the pumpkins that will be needed for Halloween purposes. Do
you guys do pumpkins? Ross you do the pumpkin carve
and all that stuff.

Speaker 3 (39:34):
We have in the past few years.

Speaker 2 (39:35):
I don't know, why do you let Lincoln do it
with the machete?

Speaker 3 (39:38):
He would not enjoy it. But wait, with the machete
he might enjoy that, but he wouldn't like the gooey
stuff on his hands.

Speaker 2 (39:43):
Yeah, because he likes doom those kind of games, right,
you get a machete in that game. So he loves
killing like all sorts of stuff on videos. So I
don't know, yeah, man, Yeah, that was the other thing too.
Those safety knives were dog crap When we did pumpkins.
My Mom's like, here's a real knife. I had three

(40:04):
other kids if you screw this up. So so it's
a lot faster to carve a pumpkin with with I've
met that k bart slice of pumpkin up nice man?

Speaker 3 (40:13):
Oh sure would yeah yeah yeah, yeah.

Speaker 2 (40:16):
So anyway, just just went a little side note on
on that insanity. All right, rage against the regime and
not enough singing. You guys, just stick to the singing
because then I get to play it on the air.
Just my two cents, all right. I mentioned I mentioned unfortunately,
we uh we have to uh, we have to announce

(40:40):
a passing, and it was Lonnie Anderson referencing w k
r P. There Lonnie Anderson, of course, Bert Reynolds X.
She was seventy nine.

Speaker 1 (40:53):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (40:53):
She she had been dealing with some prolonged illness. I
don't know if there's more specifics on that, but.

Speaker 3 (41:00):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (41:01):
Also I was reminded how how few years w KRP
was on the air? Ross did you know it was
only four years?

Speaker 3 (41:07):
Yeah, I knew it wasn't that long.

Speaker 2 (41:09):
It's crazy because it's such an iconic show, and like
four years, especially about modern shows, think about all the
iconic shows of our era. How many years was Seinfeld on?
Was like eleven seasons, twelve seasons, That was on forever.
That was on so long that the people who were
making a million plus an episode went, I'm not gonna
do this anymore. Game of Thrones is what eight seasons? Friends?

(41:35):
Was what thirty five years. I don't know it was
on for I never really watched Friends, but it was
on for a long time. I remember one of the
craziest things was nine O two one oh. I never
watched it, but I remember it being a thing during
my formative years and years after college. When the last
episode aired, I was dating this girl. It was about

(41:56):
my age. She was a year older than me, and
she's don't watch that religiously. I didn't even know that's
on the air anymore, and she was The final episode
was on and I called her the next day just
to ask about something, and she got mad at me
because she nine of the last nine O two what
oh was on the night before, which I didn't know about,

(42:17):
and she was just so emotionally screwed up. She didn't
want to do anything like that's bought into a show.
But w k RP is we reference it, not just
because we're in radio. It was only on four years.
Let's see here, trying to think of all the cast members.
Who's alive and who's not? Who is your ross, who
is your favorite on the show? Who?

Speaker 3 (42:39):
And also who was the most like Jeff Bellinger, Johnny Midnight.

Speaker 2 (42:43):
Yeah, no, like Jeff Bellinger. Who's the most like Jeff Bellinger?

Speaker 3 (42:47):
Definitely Johnny Minnight.

Speaker 2 (42:48):
Oh you think Johnny Midnight over well.

Speaker 3 (42:50):
Off the air? You should hear him off the air,
Oh okay, like when he's not being professional. Yeah, Jeff
Bellincher is a crazy man. He's Yeah, I know, I'm
scared before he put him on the A every day
if he's going to be there because he's so like
off the rails when he's now working, like, would not
hessman at all? Was he like bailed out of you know, prison,
is he still in jail? Like, is he going to

(43:10):
be there? And he shows up drunk, drops a few
f bombs off the air, and then when he's on
the air, boom, consummate professional.

Speaker 2 (43:17):
Okay, all right, so it's not just gonna be smashing
pumpkins or anything on the AH. Now I'm thinking of
other bands of the era. We could formulate protests around
what would be the best for the worst let's see here, Yeah,
just the bands of the era. I mean, spashing pumpkins
that immediately translates to Nirvana wouldn't work for him because

(43:38):
that would be a state of happiness. Clearly they're not
happy about stuff. Goo goo dolls might get weird. Oh yeah,
I don't need to see that protest, so you know,
I'm just saying they have an unlimited amount of inspiration.
So red hot chili peppers, but we spiked the food.

(44:00):
I don't know. Well, we'll figure they'll figure something out,
because again, they got nothing else going. Uh Austin Paul's
when you retire you can travel and day drink. Yeah,
you can do that before you retire. It probably won't
work out well for you to pay if you're if
you're mixing it while still working, but I guess it's
the weekend you do. You just don't drink and drive Boston, Paul,

(44:22):
especially not with your Winnebago or whatever that is. You're
basically a missile flying down the road at thirty five
forty five in the left lane. I know how you
drive seven eighteen? Hang on, protest, Arper's aarpiece. Who what
I did there? I've organized your next few weekends of
nineties music theme protests, and it's gonna be litt. In fact,

(44:43):
litt is one of the themes. So that's your Arson phase.
How about Ross Weezer theme protests where they just run
a little too much and the pulmonary disorder kicks in.

Speaker 3 (44:55):
I love it all right, I.

Speaker 2 (44:57):
Got or right.

Speaker 3 (44:58):
I gotta make correction, I said, I and Johnny Fever
because Fields are gonna call it. Johnny Midnight is a
character I used to do on the air. Yes, okay,
my brain at a malfunction, all right, So yes, Johnny,
But that's that's Jeff Bellinger in case you want to
know what he's like.

Speaker 2 (45:14):
Yes, the glasses and everything. Is he chain smoking there too?

Speaker 3 (45:18):
Or no?

Speaker 2 (45:18):
Okay, dude, Oh yeah, yeah, that's that's why I have
to do it from home right a lot of days.
But it's like, dah, you have to stay home. We
can't take it all right. I mentioned Red Hot Chili Pepper's,
but I think we should go album Blood Sugar, sex
Magic one of their best, except to remove the first
comma and then they just test their insulin levels and
then the sex magic is the pill. See what I

(45:39):
did there? So uh, then you guys can have one
of your weird sixties Charlie Manson Orgi's or something that'll
be fun. Huh be a little slower than it used
to be, but hey, what are you gonna do? Um
uh oh blur yeah, blur, you just take your glasses off.
That'll be fun.

Speaker 3 (45:55):
That's gonna be a quick protest and a half or something.

Speaker 2 (45:59):
Alison Chain is fine unless you're named Alice, then you
probably don't want to show up to that.

Speaker 3 (46:04):
I read something in last week maybe it was the
weekend before that made me feel super old because we
did play Smashing Pumpkins in the last segment. Yeah, the
album as Simon's Dream. It was like two weekends ago.
Was thirty thirty two years old. No stop saying those things. Yeah,
I feel like Matt Damon at the end of Saving
Private Ryane, where he like just turns into an old man.

Speaker 2 (46:23):
I just I once Green Day went into the Rock
roll Hall of Fame a few years ago. I just
accepted our fate. But you know the thing is it
has to be what twenty years since your initial release
or something. I can't remember with the time print, but yeah,
maybe it was twenty five years Ah Mega death, Well
that'll happen. Let's have protest for that. Sorry, I have

(46:46):
something I'm picking on old people, and I'm not. I'm
picking on these lunatics. Not anyone listening here is retired,
because obviously you made better decisions in life, because you're
not out screaming at trees. Oh, screaming trees. Yes, they
do that. Remember that, people remember the sky screamers during
the first Trump they'd show up and they still do it.
They show up in a gagle and to start screaming.

(47:08):
I saw that they were screaming in San Francisco out
over the ocean. Here, just a couple of weeks ago.
Picture about three or four. I guess there's three of them,
Three TikTok age influencers who saw an opportunity and decided
to go get the clicks. And you have these three
that were arrested in Russia, southwestern Russia. And it was

(47:28):
because in its proximity to Ukraine, one of the Ukraine
drone attacks lit the oil depot on fire, which is
a problem. And it's a little egg on the face
for putin sure right, because that's not a good situation
to have one of your major oil depots probably near
the Ukraine border, let alone on fire. And so these three,

(47:52):
I guess see it on the news. So what do
they do. They show up across the street from this
thing that's burning and they start shooting content and I
don't know Ross. Do we know what they were saying?
They seem clearly happy about it, right, but I don't
know what they're saying.

Speaker 3 (48:09):
Yeah, I know they were saying something in Russian.

Speaker 2 (48:11):
No, well that's I understand that. Thank you, thank you
for the update there. But so that then the video
went viral, right, mostly because people probably want to see
the burning oil thing and not whatever vapid thoughts these
three had. And then they got arrested and now they're
going to uh, they're in jail. Specifically, they're arrested for

(48:36):
failure to comply with rules of conduct in an emergency
or the thread of occurrence. And by the way, since
they love being on there, if you scroll down in
the thread that we retweeted, it's two women and one dude.
They look a lot less pleased Ross in that third shot.
So they like being on camera so much that the

(48:57):
Russian police literally filmed and posted them being arrested and
processed and then standing there looking forlorn.

Speaker 3 (49:04):
Right, and then they blurred out their face.

Speaker 2 (49:06):
Except then they didn't at the bottom one, so that's weird.
But yeah, they blurt out their faces as an extra
FU who crave content on there? Now? Clearly I don't
think they should be arrested for it. But that's just
my thing. But there are parts in me every now
and then when I don't go on TikTok but on Twitter,
people will repost TikTok videos or if I'm on, and

(49:28):
it's usually some vapid nineteen year old asking you to
what is it? What are the videos called where they're
getting ready? It's they're called get ready with me?

Speaker 1 (49:36):
Right?

Speaker 2 (49:37):
Is that like the whole theme? And then it's just
them putting on their makeup saying the dumbest crap ever.
And occasionally I'm like, yeah, you should probably go to
jail so don't have to see this. But then I
remember free speech, and I I'm a fan of free speech.
So it's just one of those dark thoughts that things
out there. The problem is in Russia sometimes and we'll
have Ross I checked this sometimes when there is a

(50:00):
political arrest in Russia. Rather than by the way, this
this charge carries a fine of up to thirty thousand rubles.
Sometimes there are infrastructure issues with like windows and window
casements in the higher floors of some of these facilities,
and yeah, you know you might fall out. Ross in

(50:23):
my crazy would you check out with let me.

Speaker 3 (50:26):
Let me check the AI. You know that's true.

Speaker 2 (50:28):
Yeah, it's true.

Speaker 3 (50:29):
But it's super weird to see them in front of
this like massive burning fire, you burning oil depot and
they're doing like duckface on TikTok.

Speaker 2 (50:36):
Yeah it is. But also you know the totality of things,
And I think, if you're a young man and you
were willing to go to Russia, you probably clean up
right now because they put out a lot of smoke
shows and like a bunch of the dudes are dead.
So I remember this really weird interview I saw with

(50:58):
a guy who lived in East in Europe somewhere and
I ended up going to Germany a few years after
the war as part of a company, and he was
talking to he was just talking about the experience there,
but then he started talking about how he could have
a different woman every night because all the men were dead.
And I'm like, that's a weird flex Yuri or whatever

(51:19):
your name is, but like, yeah, it is a morbid thought.

Speaker 3 (51:25):
I wouldn't recommend if you are a young man, I
wouldn't recommend going to Russia now to try or put
you in the front lines immediately.

Speaker 2 (51:32):
Well, I actually the two women I don't know, but
that dude was arrested with him with them. What are
the over under on that dude's in a uniform in
a month if he's a how old is he? I mean,
you know they're going you know, they're going around in
Ukraine and in Russia, like Ukraine a little more so,
like you've seen the videos of people are hiding out

(51:54):
in the house and they go out to get something
and then they all of a sudden, he's playing close.
Police officers snatch him. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (52:00):
Yeah, and they're gonna be like, listen, you're obviously brave
because they're standing in front of the oil depots. So
we're gonna.

Speaker 2 (52:05):
Yeah, your mos is fire mitigation and exploding depots and
you get to run in there and save stuff. Oh no,
you like it?

Speaker 3 (52:13):
Here?

Speaker 2 (52:13):
Here you go.

Speaker 1 (52:15):
Yeah. Man.

Speaker 2 (52:17):
Also, the music's not real good. It's on there. I
don't know what it is.

Speaker 3 (52:21):
Yeah, no, check that, and it's in Russian.

Speaker 2 (52:24):
Thank you for that as well, thank you for double duty.
Appreciate that. So yeah, but you know, it doesn't everything
hasn't have to be in English. How many jammed out
to Ramstein back in the day, not German, but and
that's the one used of the German language that didn't
make my skin crawl. There's a comedian who does a

(52:44):
bit who's also like a polyglot, so he speaks a
bunch of different languages, and he does this whole bit
about what happened with the German language, right, and it's
like the romantic nature of like, you know, the Italians,
the Spanish, even the French, and then right there they
just have the Germans with the with their words, their alphabet,
their pronunciation, and it's so remarkably different than the rest

(53:06):
of that portion of Europe. And it's true, like if
you speak Spanish, uh, and you watch a movie in Italian,
there's a lot of words that are the same or similar.
Germany's just like and he's doing a bunch of words
where it's like, all right, what's the word for? And
then insert some random object and then they you know,
they say the one in Spain and then the one

(53:28):
in France and and it all there's a little similarity there,
and then they go to German and it's like vouschunderklaut, right,
and it's just like, what does that mean? You're feelings?

Speaker 3 (53:37):
So I'm always reminded of that scene. I used to
love that movie Ama Daeis you know. Yeah, and like
he's like, hey, I want to make this opera in
German and they're like no, no, no, it needs to
be like Italian or something. Man, He's like, no, no, German.

Speaker 2 (53:47):
You got to be fine. Yeah, that's a good point.
It's just so that's fine. You speak German, you just
have to read. It is remarkably different than everywhere else
in Europe, or in Western Europe, like there is there's
so many similarities in the other lad and then Germans
just its own thing, Man, just its own thing. I know.
People are coming up with protests. Yeah man, I'm just saying,

(54:09):
what an easy job wee was organizing these things. Flaming lips.
Oh my god, that sounds horrible. Maybe it's just a
cold sore because they live at the villages. I don't know,
could be maybe not all right. The whale storre You
ready for this. Here's the headline. Whale killed off Jersey

(54:30):
shore after bashing boat, throwing passengers into water. What Okay,
First off, there are occasional run ins where a whale
can strike a boat, but it's very non typical. In fact,
have you seen people go out and kayaks and Puget
Sound up there in Washington just so they get a whale. Essentially,

(54:52):
the whole whale watching thing was always weird to me
because I remember when I first went out to California.
One of the things they have, they have the hump
acts on the grey whales that migrate, and they migrate,
you know, twice a year between the waters up towards
Alaska and northern California, from northern California to Alaska, and
then they go as far south as like Panama Costa Rica,

(55:14):
right and they go back and forth. And in southern California,
it's very popular tourist activity to do whale watching tours.
You go to any marina in southern California during the
right time of the year, there's these boats you can
pay like ten fifteen bucks. Sometimes you'll have food, which
is funny because if you go out there a lot
of times people are really excited that includes food, and

(55:34):
then you can tell who's never been on a boat
in the ocean before, and then there's more food for you.
So because they're all inside laying down like they have cholera.
But anyway, you go out there, and it's a great like,
it's a great date. If you're a younger person, you
know what's spending gazillion dollars, it's a great date. The

(55:54):
problem is is if that thing's have it a bad day,
there's nothing you can do. There's no harpoons on that boat.
And yeah, it could destroy your boat in a minute.
So that always made me nervous. But whatever, but you
just don't see that. So what prompted this? I'm assuming
they had beef, which I would understand. How did you

(56:17):
watch an episode of The Jersey Shore. They're not likable people,
you know. Whale doesn't want to hear about Jim Tanning
and laundry or whatever his phrase was. So anyway, this
is Barnegut Bay in New Jersey. The boat came out.
Now this is a mink whale, so it's quite a
bit smaller, but it's still a whale that had was

(56:38):
distressed and these nitwitz approached it. Okay, if you see
a whale that is distressed and in this case, you know,
flying around, it's in shallow water, it looks like it's
trying to beach itself, which it probably was, and you're like,
I'm gonna go I'm gonna go see what's up. You
deserve everything you get if you're especially we're in a

(57:01):
small boat, and they were. They were in a small
like sixteen foot boat, and they roll up on this
whale that's in like death spasms, and shockingly, it did
not go well. So as the boat approached, the whale
became even more frantic and was able to get up
under the holl and just flip the vessel into the
water because it's a whale, and that sent passengers in

(57:23):
the water. They were quickly rescued. There's a video of
this insanity. The whale appeared to be struggling to get
too shallow water. Eventually it died though, and I don't
know if they busted a cap in it or it
was you know that was happening anyway, but who knows, man,
But yeah, I guess I didn't realize. I had to
say this on the radio. If you see a whale

(57:44):
that's in distress and shallow water, don't roll up on him,
don't pet bison, don't get selfies with moose, and don't
roll up on the whale. It's that simple. It's one thing.
If it's fully on the beach, I still wouldn't recommend
you want to get some dynamite in that sense, uh,
after it dies and then do the organ thing again.

(58:05):
But h when you're in the water, that's not gonna
go well for you. All right, race stage, He's not
dumb enough to roll up on a whale in a
boat in distress people up on the Jersey shore. It
didn't get the memo though. No, I'm not surprised. Well, yeah,
how was all right? How was your long long weekend
there to get a bunch of stuff done? Oh yeah,

(58:26):
too much, too much going on.

Speaker 10 (58:27):
You had to go from New York or not New
York this time. But the Clemson Clempson to Charleston.

Speaker 2 (58:34):
And Ken Boone played the accordion. It was amazing.

Speaker 10 (58:38):
No, he did not play the accordion.

Speaker 2 (58:40):
No, he did it kills out. You didn't know he
was into accordion too, No, no, no, yeah, you know
he did Candy by Pocket Belly or Canondy by Pocket Bella.

Speaker 3 (58:49):
Yeah, and then yeah he did an encore of Cotton
Eye Joe.

Speaker 10 (58:52):
Oh yeah, really that was the best part of competition.

Speaker 2 (58:54):
Now, I'm just saying, you get step your game up, bro,
I know, I know, all right, well, glad you're back,
and everyone's a lot happier with you guys right now.

Speaker 10 (59:02):
So, yeah, we knocked off the heat.

Speaker 2 (59:05):
And all the golfers were very happy at the window
in Greensboro this week. Yeah, yeah, yesday. I mean there
was some weather through, but it wasn't a billion degrees,
which is a lot better than has been.

Speaker 3 (59:15):
So good job.

Speaker 10 (59:17):
I don't see a billion degrees returning. May get back
close to ninety toward the weekend or the end of
the weekend, but other than that, I think it's going
to be more about the wet weather. It's going to
come back. Really not today. Sun clouds might be a
little fog in spots, especially try it and west into
the mountains. Today's highs will be in a little bit eighties.
Can't roll out a few showers. There's some working now
down to the south of Charlotte, south of the Triangle,

(59:40):
but really not a bunch of rain. But the rain
chances will start ticking up slowly tomorrow, maybe a shower
or two. Plenty of dry hours though tomorrow also on
either side of eighty, so still below normal, and then
the rain chance is still with us Wednesday. They may
go up a little bit Thursday Friday, but just a
scattering of showers occasional thunderstores over the weekend. Look like

(01:00:01):
maybe the rain would be a little further eastent it's
going to be right now. It looks like the heaviest
rain is going to be to our west and southwest,
where are our floodwatches and parts of Georgia and the tropics.
Dexter did form overnight. They named Dexter a tropical storm
as it heads out over the open waters of the Atlantic.
And there's two more disturbances, one off the southeast coast,
will keep your eyes on one coming off the coast
of Africa that has a fifty percent chance of developing

(01:00:24):
in the next seven days. So we are getting into
now a more active part of the tropical Atlantic. So
keep an eye on all those things by.

Speaker 2 (01:00:31):
Asars and canaries get a bad rap, don't they they do? Yeah,
they do. As one of her it's Kane, we're sending. Yeah,
here here's one. Yeah, thanks for that, buddy, All right,
appreciate it, sir, have a go one. We'll talk in
an hour.

Speaker 1 (01:00:42):
There you go.

Speaker 2 (01:00:43):
Race Agic from the Weather Channel, Uh, coming up on
the show. We head to Cincinnati where I gotta tell you,
this is shocking. Are you sitting now? It seems like
the mayor and some of the community leaders might be
mishandling what happened in Cincinnati, And I thought it couldn't
get any worse than just the general disconnect from the mayor.

(01:01:04):
And then that crazy council woman's like, yeah, they deserve
the beaten. But they found a way, and all they
had to do was roll in one of these social
justice pastors. Well, the mayor stood next to him and
he said, what I'm gonna play you. We'll do that next.
Hang on under the age of thirty that aren't wearing
at least one piece of an Adidas tracksuit at all times.
It's like the standard uniform man. AnyWho, sorry, all right,

(01:01:28):
let me get over to this. So in case the
situation wasn't going as badly as possible among people looking
at what happened in Cincinnati, and you know, I remember
the police chiefs. She's like, oh, stupid media and flaming
this because they don't have context. And then we're like,
how about some contexts. She's like, I won't have any contexts.
So that was good. The mayor sounding disconnected, they thought well,

(01:01:51):
how can I how can we ramp this up a
wee bit more? What can we do to really get
the juices flowing? So, of course they have their own
revs in William Baba. Every every big city or state
has them. Different markets I worked in, like the in Houston,
his name was Kwan LX. A lot of exes. One
in Minneapolis they had an X and then they had

(01:02:12):
a non ex who would kind of battle In Cincinnati,
that guy is the pastor Damon Lynch, which, by the way,
I just thought about this, Damon Lynch the third you
bro stage name. I'm just saying, like, that's an uphill

(01:02:33):
battle right there. Man, Uh, Who's who's coming to talk
to us? Civil rights icon William Crossburned the third. It
doesn't work so but anyway, and I'm not I'll give
a pass on his name because there's too much to
criticize listening to him talk. So he is standing up
on the podium. The mayor of Cincinnati is next to him,

(01:02:56):
council members are behind him. This isn't a guy who
held a presser in a parking lot. The administration of
the Mayor's office brought him in to speak, and it
was it was kind of awful. All right, you ready?
All right? Here we go.

Speaker 8 (01:03:14):
For those who want to politicize it, the JD. Vanceys
and the Vivid Ramaswami's and the Bernie Marinos and the
Christopher Smitherman's and many others who want to politicize it,
they have not yet said something that I always hear
when a black person, say, runs from the police and

(01:03:35):
then is met with disproportionate force, sometimes ending their life.
What we hear is, well, why did they run? Why
didn't they just comply? We hear that every time. But
I've yet to.

Speaker 2 (01:03:47):
Hear in is the police are not protesters away. I
am so excited because two of my favorite features on
this show are Florida Man and No Science No. And
if you don't the Florida Man, we do a lot.
No Science No is just when we see these science
stories where they're like, we created and then whatever it is,
it's that Jurassic Park moment where just because you can

(01:04:10):
doesn't mean you should, and we're almost inevitably right that
it doesn't work out. So we have a twofer. We
have Florida Man, No Science, No Story, which, if you
think about it, there's not a lot of Florida. Man
stories that evolve hard sciences. It's usually how far can
I throw this alligator through the liquor store window or
the Wendy's drive through, both of which are real stories.

(01:04:32):
And then they threw one on the roof of a
liquor store too. I know alcohol is involved your you
never saw it coming. But first we got to talk
about what's going on in Cincinnati. So I'm gonna play
this audio again and just because I have a little
more time and piecemeal through this thing. So they bring
in their local civil rights pastor. Dude put them up
there with the mayor, and the guy's name is Pastor

(01:04:55):
Damon Lynch the Third, and he goes super partisan. But
I want you to again, I want you to listen
to what he's saying, because he's then trying to invoke
police brutality into this. And the fact is that the
incidents in Cincinnati at that jazz festival didn't involve police,
which is some of the criticism. He probably saw the

(01:05:15):
chief ask where were your officers, and she was saying
they were staged on the other side of the festival
and they had to cut through the traffic, which I get.
I understand and again, you get a music festival, you
get a bunch of booze people drink a beer. It's hot,
you know, it's darkness falls, you know, things happen. Things happen,
But what happened there was not two people with too

(01:05:39):
much liquid courage getting into little fisticuffs that go in
their separate way. You saw absolute beatdowns. And you'll notice
this guy only talks about the man. He doesn't talk
about the woman. Did you ross did you see her face?
The follow up photo of her face post beating, she
looks she looks like a murder victim on law and order,

(01:06:00):
And so what he wants his beef is is this.
You know, you tell people to comply with the police
and then they get beat Why didn't he tell this
guy just to walk away? That's fine, By the way,
I'm not encouraging anyone to sit there and start swinging
at one of these things. And again, there is no
there is no context to what started the initial fight.

(01:06:20):
I saw people trying to pretend there was a video
or he screamed the N word. It clearly isn't him
screaming it. But I don't know if that was probably
I don't know. And so contexts be helpful. But instead
they bring this pastor in who wants to offuscate as
to what happened, and it's just and and he stood
there next to Again, he didn't hold a press conference

(01:06:42):
in front of his church or at his headquarters or
in the parking lot or whatever. He was invited there
to help, I guess by the by the Democrats that
run the city of Cincinnati. It's crazy.

Speaker 9 (01:06:56):
So when you continuously run aloop.

Speaker 2 (01:06:59):
Well, hold on, hold on, that's this is what I'm
looking for, all right. So here's the pastor again.

Speaker 8 (01:07:04):
Check this out for those who want to politicize it.
The JD. Vances and vive eight Ramaswami's and the Bernie Marinos, by.

Speaker 2 (01:07:13):
The way, do they want to politicize it or they
asked about it. Bernie Moreno is a senator from Ohio
in case you don't know, okay, I he's the newest senator.
But Jeddie Vance is from Ohio and they asked them
about it. So that's not how politicalization works. What you're
doing right now is politicalization. We try to make this
into a use of forced police argument when no police

(01:07:36):
were involved, none unless one of them, unless that dude
is an off duty officer, but none official capacity, So
strike number one.

Speaker 8 (01:07:45):
And the Christopher Smitherman's and many others who want to
politicize it, they have not yet said something that I
always hear when a black person saved the runs from
the police and then is met with disproportion four sometimes
ending their life. What we hear is, well, why did
they run? Why didn't they just comply? We hear that

(01:08:09):
every time, But I've yet to hear anybody say why
didn't he just walk away?

Speaker 2 (01:08:15):
By the way, this guy thinks he's making a good point.
This guy thinks that I'll get him here because nobody
said he should walk away. No, no, no, no, people
were fine with that. And most people don't want people
throwing hands at these things anyway, because families come out
to these like they don't want that. So like, I don't,
I don't understand your premise here. And also, police are

(01:08:37):
not the same as people who've had too much to
drink and are drawn at each other and then maybe
getting into an altercation. Not the same, Okay, not the
same at all.

Speaker 8 (01:08:50):
So let me back up, so you understand this. Two combatants,
one black, one white. A black man step saying breaks
it up. The white guy re engage slaps not the
black man that he had just squared up with. What
slaps another black man?

Speaker 2 (01:09:05):
By the way, how many of you have seen fights
where two people are fighting, somebody goes in to break
it up, and then one of the people hits the
person who came in there to break it up. Yeah,
a lot of them. Again, I don't condone it, but
this is not This is not something unusual. That's not
the unusual part of this. The usual part is not
that somebody's yell, you know, were words turned to fists,

(01:09:28):
or that somebody attempted to break it up and then
somebody who's like can in fight mode, you know, hit
them again. You shouldn't do that. But none of that
is unusual. The unusual part is that then twenty people
stomped on somebody, and more importantly, a woman who happened
to be there was beat to the point that people
thought she was dead with a with an absolute hook

(01:09:50):
out of nowhere by this dude who wasn't even part
of the combatants, who just wanted to punch this woman
in the face and then layer out on the concrete
with her eyes open. All of us thinking she's dead.
That's the un usual part.

Speaker 8 (01:10:01):
And nobody's asking why didn't he just walk away? And
so when I see and I don't know who else
the chief is looking for or a CPD is looking for.
But when I see the mug shots, I only see
people who look like me. I don't see the person
who re engage slapped, not the initial person, but slapped

(01:10:24):
another black man.

Speaker 2 (01:10:25):
Again, he thinks this is a good point. It's not,
because here's what I'll tell you. If they through their
investigation they find out that the white dude was in
fact the one who started it, right, because that's still
we don't know. We don't know is the one who
started it, then I have no charging with assault. I
don't care. I don't want people punch at each other

(01:10:47):
at music festivals or on the street or anywhere, even
though there's the people who really need punching. This is
not what we do. Okay, So if that's the thing,
but you've made this leap, do we know that he
started it because in the other scenario where maybe they
were throwing words, which you know, that's fine, you can

(01:11:08):
do that, and then he gets struck by one by
the first black guy, to quote him, and then he
sees another dude who's with this guy, who steps in
to try to pick it. He may have thought that
guy was coming to assault him. What would have ever
given him the impression that maybe multiple people would attempt

(01:11:28):
to assault him. Whatever would have put that thought in
his head, because that's another scenario that could be the case.
But I don't know, and neither do you. So if
he if he in fact meets the thing for assault,
I mean, granted, he got pummeled there, so but that's
you know, that's vigilanti justice. If he needs to face

(01:11:48):
real justice and you want to hit him with assault
or simple assault or however it's word in Ohio, nobody
has a problem with that. But I notice you're not
talking about the woman who also seemed to have stepped
up in there. The different diference was this guy is
reportedly fighting this other guy, and then a third guy
comes in who may have very well just wanted it
to be broken up, all right, I don't question that,

(01:12:09):
and then the guy strikes him. Is not the same
as the woman who tried to break it up, and
then some random person walks up on her blind side
and chaos her. This is so disingenuous, and that the
mayor would hold a press conference allowing this garbage to
be run while the police chief is telling people that
we have to wait for context is not helpful at

(01:12:30):
the very least.

Speaker 8 (01:12:30):
So I don't see the slappers muckshot, and so sadly
I have to agree with those who are politicizing this
and racializing this.

Speaker 1 (01:12:40):
I have to.

Speaker 8 (01:12:41):
Agree with the Smitherman's the ramaswamis, the Marinos, Corey Bowman.
This is racial because it is unequal justice.

Speaker 2 (01:12:54):
Right, Okay, all right, that's helpful. What a clown show
the city of Cincinnati is. You know, some of these
cities you get a look into him on the regular, Like,
you know, we got a pretty good beat on what's
going on in New York, right, Chicago, Los Angeles obviously
the three big ones, right, because then there's so much news,
but you don't really think about what's going on, Like

(01:13:15):
most people probably couldn't tell you the politics of the
city of Raleigh or Greensboro or Winston or any of
the rest who you know live five states away. But
once you get a peek under the hood at some
of these other cities, you realize the rot and infestation
it is that has captured most of these large cities, man,
and you know it's you know it's there, but then

(01:13:36):
you see it, and you see it with stuff like this,
you're like, all right, good lord, what is going on? Now?
Let's see the first cut ross. That's the police guy, right,
not the council, but that's the police guy.

Speaker 3 (01:13:51):
Right.

Speaker 2 (01:13:55):
Oh oh wait, hold on, no, it was in the
story there. I'm so, I'm sorry. Yeah, all right, we'll
hang on. We'll hang on on that. But but my
point is that is just a word salad right there,
and it's all speculation, that speculation, and you even skipped

(01:14:18):
over the parts where you didn't want to fill in
the blanks because you realize they underminded what you were
trying to communicate there. So look, I'll be happy to
wait and see what the scenario is. But I have
seen zero. I told you there's only one thing that
could have justified Chao in that chick, right, and if
you didn't see it on the video, and I because
I'll leave room for this, and that is Melee's going on.

(01:14:40):
She's like, break it up, break it up, she sees right,
and then she pulls a weapon and if she pulls
a weapon out in that situation, and she hasn't been
attacked or anything, and and it's and and somebody's like,
oh my god, she's gonna shoot somebody, and one punches
her to stop her, and they're in the right to do.
I have no problem with that. But that's that is

(01:15:00):
a scenario that is not born out of the video
or any of the conversation I've heard. And so unless
you're going to convince me that that is in fact
the case, you should take a wait and see approach.
All right, here's one of the council members.

Speaker 9 (01:15:17):
So when you continuously run a loop where you have
national leaders that are speaking irresponsible, showing black and white
people trying to knock each other's heads off, what road
do you play media in continually showing.

Speaker 3 (01:15:38):
That level of violence?

Speaker 9 (01:15:40):
What role do you play in quoting and quoting misdirected
national leaders talking about a city that is on the
right track, but they're doing everything they can to try
to take us off the track.

Speaker 3 (01:15:57):
What another do you play media in that?

Speaker 9 (01:16:00):
And you what you'll say, and let me finis what
you'll say is you're just reporting the news. But I'll
say to you when you continuously show a loop and
you continuously report misguided, misdirected national leaders trying to slam
our city. You got to ask your question. You I

(01:16:22):
gotta ask yourself, what role are you playing?

Speaker 2 (01:16:25):
How dare you show the video that exists? You monsters? Yeah,
the only voice of reason seemingly in this whole thing.
This is why I got confused, because that was this guy.
There's a guy, man named Ken Kober, who is a
president of the Cincinnati Fraternal Order of Police, and he

(01:16:45):
he he's not happy with city leadership. It sounds like
this is beef that's pre existing, because you're are they
talking about the police there? He's then I speak to
our investigation probably every twelve hours. There's been absolutely zero
evidence so far that has that was said that the victims,
cause this Cob tells the Daily Wire. I mean, they've
looked at video evidence, they've done interviews, and nothing suggests

(01:17:08):
these victims were the ones that started the attack. So
I again, I you know, there's somebody who's who represents
the people literally doing the investigation, who is affirmedly said
that there is nothing that they have seen that says

(01:17:29):
the people got beat started it, and they may never
know starts it right, they're just because you're going with
you know, one side is gonna say some one side
is going to say the other. The video doesn't show
it because nobody really starts filming until it hits the fan,
and we don't know. But that reverend or past or whatever,
what an absolute lunatic man. Hold on, hey, Matt's up.

Speaker 1 (01:17:55):
Yeah, I just want to call in. You're you're sharper
than many and usually you are on the right side
of just about everything. But I got to take a
small issue with the claim that the only reason why
she could be legitimately clabbed like that is if she
was pulling out a weapon.

Speaker 2 (01:18:10):
However, stop, stop, hold on, hold on, hold on, sir,
that's not what I said. I said, if she drew
an unnecessarily drew a weapon, I want to be very clear,
or she did not have provocation to draw it is
how I worded it. My point is I delineate between
using a weapon in a manner to protect somebody else
who's in trouble. I firmly recognize, Gods that I talked

(01:18:35):
about it.

Speaker 1 (01:18:36):
I was thinking in the context of this situation, specifically,
if she were to draw a weapon.

Speaker 2 (01:18:43):
It's it's the same thing. Yeah, it's the same thing
that they do in any shooting. Arguably, it sucks that
you got to get a lawyer for this stuff. Sometimes
people pull a weapon out and they're over their skis right,
and they've discharged and they were not did not fear
for their life or the life of a loved one.
So that scenario, she just pulled it out to go
cowgirl even though she wasn't involved, or it's attract Yeah,

(01:19:06):
that's all I'm saying. So I hear you, man, But yeah,
let's make that clarification because I already got email on
Friday when.

Speaker 3 (01:19:12):
I said that.

Speaker 2 (01:19:12):
So and I'm like, there's yeah, yeah, yeah, but you understand,
like I can't think of another scenario where you can
just walk up and kao somebody damn near to death.
I can't think of one.

Speaker 1 (01:19:23):
No, absolutely not. Yeah, yeah, I don't care. Then she
just eliminate the whole hate crime category. I don't think
that's that should just be gone. This is this is
potentially at tempted murder. I mean, like it just manslaughter.
I'm sorry. I mean, like, you know, you can't just
cab or somebody and hadn't hit the ground, bro, she
was gone and she's suffering brain trauma right now, that's

(01:19:46):
what should be charged with. This isn't yeah, this isn't
just a fight.

Speaker 2 (01:19:50):
No no, no, no, I'm with you. And that's why context
is so important here. And I was just trying to
spitball any scenario where you would be justified because just
because you would have protect yourself with the and if
you don't meet what is required, then you know, for
that and somebody hits you with a lesser weapon a
fist or a baton or something, it doesn't mean that
they themselves can't avail themselves of self defense, which is why.

(01:20:12):
And thank you for the call, sir. Details matter, and
race based protests and press conferences do not. We'll be back.
So they're going to dig into Sidney Sweeney's life. New
report says that Citney Sweeney might be a registered Republican. Brah.
I'm telling you, man, just like if I don't think

(01:20:33):
that people in the media see their bias anymore. Well,
while the while reporters are sitting here taking Sweeney apart
over the fact that there's a rumor she's a registered Republican.
Over the weekend, I was reading The News and Observer
wrote a whole article about how cool it is that
Roy Cooper is campaigning without ties on more relatable ross.

(01:20:54):
Did you see him without his tie?

Speaker 1 (01:20:55):
Mm hmm?

Speaker 2 (01:20:57):
Gott to vote for that guy's Now we're in a tie,
like you got. Seriously, all you media people, if you
don't slow your role, throw a trap or keep her
over that bulge, it's gonna be a long five hundred days, okay,
or however many days it is. Tell this thing is elected,
and then maybe another four or six long years. But no,
let's go ahead and figure out if Sydney Sweeney might

(01:21:19):
have voted for somebody we don't like. And I remember
that when she first kind of hit the scene, well
it's got some notoriety. People were like, oh, her parents
are maga, And I remember if I saw that, I
think I saw a confirmed her dad was, I don't know,
and then therefore she must be And I remember thinking,

(01:21:39):
who cares? And I remember her position was very clear.
I'm an actress. I'm just here to pretend to be
other people and take my shirt off occasionally, So don't care,
don't want to get into this. And it kind of
went away. But now now they got to go right
after her. So, by the way, if she needs a
safe space, I have I have some room. So uh. Anyway,

(01:22:03):
so they asked Trump about it, and he gives, excuse me,
and he choked up over the thought she gives. He
gives the pretty exactly the Trump answer you would expect, reporter,
Sidney Sweeney's a registered republic It's one of these tarmac things.
I'm not going to rip the audio. It's bad. But
he says, Sidney Sweeney's a registered Republican. What do you
say about that? This is a reporter asking the President
of the United States about how he feels about the

(01:22:26):
political affiliation of some Hollywood starlet and not since JFK
have they really cared about what's going on with Hollywood starlets?
And in a different way. So and then he says, oh,
how I love her ad if she's a registered Republican.
I think her AD is fantastic. Okay, all right, so
here we are, which probably means they're going to go

(01:22:47):
at her harder. But I don't know if you guys
saw the uh, you know, American Eagle issued a an
earnings report and a prognoga you know, what's twenty twenty
five have in store. And if you read into this thing,
the case, the whole thing is about uncertainty, uncertainty, uncertainty.
And they write at nine different times it's exactly the

(01:23:08):
kind of earnings report, and you know, the look ahead
that you would get from a company that is teetering
on collapse, which there wouldn't be the first victim of
the mall chain stores. It's just the reality of where
we are right now. The stores that haven't pivoted well
enough to the Internet I are getting left in the dust.

(01:23:28):
American Eagle their stocks up like what twenty seventeen percent,
nineteen and a half. I can't remember what the number
fixed on. I'd say it worked.

Speaker 3 (01:23:39):
You've got to see the video I just retweeted on
the show account. Oh oh it's great.

Speaker 2 (01:23:43):
Is it, Sidney Sweeney?

Speaker 8 (01:23:44):
It is?

Speaker 2 (01:23:45):
Which? Oh the one where she's telling people to stop
being mean to her?

Speaker 3 (01:23:49):
Nope?

Speaker 2 (01:23:49):
Oh wait, hold on all right, hey, very important, Just
hang on, folks, hang on priority stuff here. Why is
she standing in front of a burning Russian fac otherway
that's the other video. Oh I did see that. Yeah,
I heard the gun range.

Speaker 3 (01:24:06):
Yeah, she looked like John wick Man at that range.

Speaker 2 (01:24:09):
Yeah, yeah, she double tap queen man. Yeah, she did
a really good job. That's a really the gunfighter stuff,
that's a really really she did it under ten seconds,
which that'll mean something. How many targets was she? She
knows what she's doing. That's just that's scary. Actually, you
know the amount of Republican men who are extra turned

(01:24:31):
on now.

Speaker 3 (01:24:33):
Said you got to check it out?

Speaker 2 (01:24:35):
What are you doing in there?

Speaker 3 (01:24:36):
I'm watching the video and she's sitting them targets?

Speaker 2 (01:24:38):
Yeah, you just keep watching it? What do you? Is
there something you thought you missed there?

Speaker 1 (01:24:42):
No?

Speaker 3 (01:24:42):
I mean the skill though, the skill on display is
just something.

Speaker 2 (01:24:46):
How amu are you?

Speaker 3 (01:24:46):
But you know what I mean?

Speaker 2 (01:24:50):
Probably the rest of the show. Perfect stance, take it
all in. Yeah, No, the stance is good. Yeah, and
she looks excited to be there. Man for her, dude,
that's this is why they hate her. That is every
conservative man's dream right there. As we talked about, you

(01:25:12):
got the girl next door seems seems nic Who knows.
Maybe she's a monster, but I don't. I haven't seen
anything with that.

Speaker 9 (01:25:19):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (01:25:19):
You take her to the range and you know she
might she might beat you. So that's uh, that was
pretty good. Man is still watching it. That's weird. Okay,
anyway back to this, Sorry, get very distracted by this video.
Oh I promised you no science, no slash Florida Man collab,

(01:25:40):
didn't I. So let's let's go ahead and uh do that,
shall we? Florida? Then Florida Man is something in the
water the arrows hand that makes you do.

Speaker 3 (01:25:55):
All that crazy crap.

Speaker 2 (01:25:56):
That's like the state is one be dumb ass trapped.
Nowhere else has the Florida Man. It is almost like
as the weird factor climbs and you find out it
that in Florida.

Speaker 3 (01:26:11):
Every time Florida Man, Florida Man.

Speaker 2 (01:26:14):
If anyone can cheer me if you know you can't
just find life be crazy.

Speaker 3 (01:26:18):
But of course not.

Speaker 2 (01:26:19):
It's not as bad crawd crazy as yours.

Speaker 3 (01:26:21):
Nowhere else are you gonna find him.

Speaker 2 (01:26:24):
They're so used to it, they don't find him.

Speaker 3 (01:26:27):
Hooray for Florida.

Speaker 2 (01:26:28):
Now this is a special one because it is I
I don't even remember other incidents where the Florida Man
in this case is also a world renowned scientist, right,
because usually when you see a Florida Man story, there's
not a lot of critical thinking skills or there's Florida
man logic like, well, this is America, why shouldn't I

(01:26:49):
be able to water ski on gators? I mean, what
what's up? Right? There's it's it. But in Florida they
have a very big problem with the Burmese pythons, which
is why down to Florida. Literally they have contests see
how many you can go out and kill, and then
there's there's groups that go out and they get a
bunch of them. We used to have coyote culling culling

(01:27:12):
cull i g in Wyoming. We had we had a
big two day event in Buffalo and it got so
undoable because when I was in high school, the moonbats
started showing up to protests and it's summed up. They
don't even do it anymore. And I hate that. I
hate that they let a bunch of greenies from Colorado

(01:27:33):
come up to Buffalo, Wyoming and protest over coyote shoot.
But that's what we do right ahead of a calving
season because you know they eat them so anyway, so
they have these contests out in Florida and they go
try to get them, but it's not working fast enough.
So this is the no science no portion. Researchers from
the University of Florida, led by Robert McCleary, a Florida

(01:27:56):
professor of Wildlife ecology and conservation, decided they need a
new way to get the pythons, so he and his
team have developed robot rabbits like murder dogs, but murder bunnies,
now the first iteration, are not murdery. So it's a
three step process. First and foremost, the robo buddies are

(01:28:17):
simply they want to get them so that they attract
the pythons. Now, pythons love rabbits, but you got to
get them in there in the same way coyotes do.
In fact, one of the ways if you're allowed to
use an electronic call or hand call and you're doing
a coyote hunt, distressed rabbit is what it's called. Distressed
rabbit is very popular. I can't do the noise on

(01:28:38):
a hand call, but we can electronic and woment. I
guess I kind of could, but not as good as
they can. And yeah, if you if you sound like
a rabbit that's in distress, coyotes and pythons then they
want to come talk to you. But with pythons. You
also got to get it visually correct, and so the
robot buddy acts like it's in distress. So that's that's
group number one. Next they're going to add scent to it,

(01:29:00):
but they're testing, they said, have had a lot of
success for the first round, and then version three will
be a murder bunny and then there's gonna let him
out in Florida. Ross is selling a good idea to you, buddy.

Speaker 3 (01:29:13):
It's fine, dude. Look it's this a furry, little fiaffy
fun robot bunny outside there, and you're freaking out over nothing. Man, Oh,
a little furry robot bunny.

Speaker 2 (01:29:25):
Yeah. Yeah, so versions one, Versions two, fine, Version three,
oh my gosh. But yeah, that's that's what they're working
on there, dude. Yeah.

Speaker 6 (01:29:36):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:29:37):
Is this all because he's got You think the guy's
a Monty Python fan or that he's never seen it
and doesn't know it is one of the two. He's
not ambivalent on Monty Python, I promise you. Oh the
guy in charge of it. Yeah, you mean Timney Enchanter. Yes, yeah, professor,
that's professor.

Speaker 3 (01:29:53):
Professor Timney Enchanter.

Speaker 2 (01:29:54):
Correct, Yes, yeah, come on, man, get it right. All right,
So yeah, pretty soon it's gonna be Monty Python down
in the Everglades. So that'll be fun. Maybe a little
further noise. Oh that'd be amazing, Ross, you guys are
Oh no, Actually it's horrible because if you see that
thing at Disney, you're with your kids, you're going to
assume it's part of the you know, the whole thing.

(01:30:14):
Right now, your kids just went over to pet the
murder Bundy and Disney's getting sued. So watch how what
you're doing. Let's see uh one other animal story real quick. Well,
let's get Rais stage. He'll love this. So scientists in
South Africa have come up with a new way to
deter rhino horn poachers. You know what they're doing. They're

(01:30:37):
tranking the rhinos and then injecting the horns with radiation
so they're radioactive. Oh here's the problem, Ross, What would
you rather have a rhino horn or a radioactive rhino horn?
One that's imbued you got and a radioactive yeah? Yeah,
come on. Any guys are played video games their swords

(01:30:59):
and then they're sore words with fire, ice, magic or
another poison. They're imbued with something. I want a radioactive horn.
If I'm gonna go poaching, Yeah, I agree, made this
more desire.

Speaker 3 (01:31:10):
But then you'd have to wield it one of those suits,
So one of those et suits.

Speaker 2 (01:31:15):
Or you can look cool as a superhero.

Speaker 10 (01:31:16):
The Doubles is a sue man that sounds like a movie.

Speaker 2 (01:31:19):
Now you go full Iron Man suit with radioactive horn. Yeah,
that'd be great.

Speaker 10 (01:31:22):
So radioactive horn sort of like cocaine bear but radioactive.

Speaker 1 (01:31:26):
Yeah.

Speaker 10 (01:31:26):
Man, what DC is putting down radioactive rhino?

Speaker 3 (01:31:30):
How about them?

Speaker 1 (01:31:31):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (01:31:31):
Actually, hold on, they have a stupid wait, hold on,
so they actually have a name for it. You're ready, Oh,
of course, Uh, the Risotope Project. I'm not making this upfferent.

Speaker 3 (01:31:44):
Don't they sell it at gas station? It's like radio,
it's about rhino or.

Speaker 2 (01:31:47):
That the one behind the counter pills for a year
before it gets taken away. Yep. Anyway, yeah, man, So
what's going on weatherwise? Good?

Speaker 1 (01:31:59):
Uh?

Speaker 2 (01:31:59):
Poaching weather?

Speaker 10 (01:32:00):
I mean, I guess I don't know really what that is.
But if clouds and sun and maybe a passing shower
is for you, then have at it a load of
mid eighties. Yeah, so it looks like we'll get back
above eighty degrees. Try it may stay just below eighty,
but certainly going to be better than there was last week.
Small chance of a shower tomorrow still about up seventies,
low eighties, and then I think the rain chances will

(01:32:22):
slowly start ticking up for the rest of the week.
If I had to put a percentage about forty percent,
so a few more showers Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, maybe a
thundershower mixed in there a load of mid eighties for
daytime high So I think the bulk of the moisture
coming in is going to be west and southwest of US.
North Georgia does have floodwatches up Central Georgia and parts
of the Panantal Florida, so it's kind his plume coming

(01:32:44):
off the Gulf that stays west of US, but there
is a disturbance off the southeast coastcraft to keep our
eyes on. Thirty percent chance developing over the next a
few days. Dexter is a named obviously tropical heading north
Yep heading north of Bermuda, so that'll stay away from US,
don't worry about that. And then a wave coming off
the coast of Africa in seven days actually now has

(01:33:05):
a fifty percent chance of developing so the next name
storm would be anybody know the East Storm?

Speaker 2 (01:33:11):
Eduardo Aaron Aaron, easy one.

Speaker 10 (01:33:14):
You know, no esayes or anything like that.

Speaker 3 (01:33:16):
It's eron.

Speaker 2 (01:33:17):
We're not doing isis again? Nope, Nope, stop doing that. Okay,
thank you, sir, appreciate it.

Speaker 1 (01:33:21):
Yep.

Speaker 2 (01:33:22):
We'll come back with Jeff Bellinger next. What's going on? Jeff?

Speaker 5 (01:33:24):
Well, good morning. Casey Boeing is dealing with another labor issue.
This time it's a strike by about thirty two hundred
machinists who work in its defense business. This walkout affects
fighter jet production in Missouri and Illinois. The walkout is
much smaller than last year's strike, in which ten times
as many workers halted commercial aircraft production for nearly two months.

(01:33:47):
We learned on Friday the job creation was surprisingly week
last month, but another statistic within that July employment report
got less attention. The number of workers unemployed for a
half year or more was the highest since twenty seventeen.
More than one point eight million people who lose a
job just not landing back on their feet very quickly.

(01:34:08):
A Florida woman who was laid off back in September
told The Wall Street Journal she applied for nine hundred jobs,
got one interview and no offers. Stocks may rebound when
Wall Street brings the opening bell. Analysts say investors are
betting the Federal Reserve will cut interest rates sooner rather
than later to shore up the slowing job market. Apple

(01:34:28):
workers got an hour long pep talk from the boss
before they started their weekend. Apple CEO Tim Cook called
a rare all hands meeting to rally employees around the
company's artificial intelligence prospects. A Cook said, the AI revolution
is big or bigger than the Internet, smartphone, cloud, computing,
and apps. M PHANOL is buying Comscopes Broadband and cable

(01:34:51):
equipment division. That's a deal worth about ten and a
half billion dollars. Comscope is based in Hickory, North Carolina.
Mfhanol's headquarters are in Wallingford, Connecticut, and Casey. We're talking
about job security. Whatever concerns Elon Musk may have, job
security is not among them. A regulatory filing by Tesla

(01:35:11):
indicates the electric vehicle maker approved an interim stock award
worth about thirty billion dollars for Musk. Ninety six million
shares will vest if Musk continues as Tesla's CEO for
another two years. Tesla directors emphasized the importance of retaining
Musk in a letter to shareholders. Casey, oh or a.

Speaker 2 (01:35:31):
Judge and Delaware will overturn that twice so as it
could be all right, thanks, Jeff, appreciate it all right,
have a good day. Yeah, yeah, that's what that judge
was that I got in front of his old pay package.
She overturned it, and then they voted on it full
anyone with enough stock could vote, and it was like
seventy percent wanted to have it. That she overturned it again.

(01:35:52):
So I'm sure they're filing the lawsuits now. Apparently there's
a trouble up in wake Forest. Ross. Was your yard
invaded by pigs?

Speaker 3 (01:36:01):
No, no, it was not.

Speaker 2 (01:36:02):
Oh but that'd be amazing, wouldn't it really would be.
It'd be great. Yeah, not for the pigs, but you know,
for you. But apparently five pigs are running around wake
Forest ripping up people's yards. So because they're pigs, they're
gonna root around, they're gonna eat stuff whatever they could find.
Caitlin and azamb if I'm pronouncing that correct, and her
husband said that they were working in the yard and

(01:36:22):
all of a sudden, these pigs came out of the woods.
She said they spotted them while they were outlowing the lawns.
So she took pictures, shared them to Facebook to hope
find the owners, and then fed them as they made
a playground out of her backyard. Though her neighbors were
less pleased because they also went in their yards and
ate it and they hate you now, woman, and that

(01:36:43):
would feed this. So gonna let you know see if
you feed while animals and they come and you're into
the animals, but your neighbors not. They it's like they're
probably not happy about it.

Speaker 3 (01:36:53):
It's gonna be like half Field McCoys all over again.

Speaker 2 (01:36:56):
I had I lived next door to a lady one
time who had like twenty thousand birds feeders in her
Yarcher was really into birds, which is fine for her,
but we shared a fence line, and you know how
much bird poop was in my backyard because all the birds,
all the birds would just you know, because she'd fill
the MutS. She had nothing else to do. I guess
she's probably out protested now.

Speaker 9 (01:37:14):
But
