Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Way too much happening over the weekend, of a sports nature,
of a horrible nature, of a somewhat funny nature, and
and then just you know, your standard political uh scrums,
which we will we'll kind of so we're gonna kind
of have to rapid fire through most of the show today.

(00:22):
And then there was there was stuff that was coming
up this morning when I was just kind of it's
like my own fault for scanning some of the news.
Oh there, But let me let me start with this
one because I hit ross. You haven't seen this yet.
So do you remember the me too era? Everybody? Of
course you do? Uh? And what we're what we're kind
of the biggest drivers going on there with the me

(00:43):
too era? You had of course the Harvey Weinstein stuff.
I think that was really the launching off point there,
but you know, then it grew from there. All right,
so I can open on that. I got it up
my phone. We'll we'll get it this way, see you know.
So you so you're digging through all this stuff, and

(01:04):
there was a there was a book. There was a
book that emerged from a woman. I'm sorry, I'm slow
rollings not having to open the story here we go
from a a woman named Amy Griffin, and she you made.

(01:24):
She's not super famous, but you would have seen her
everywhere during this era. She was like she immediately was
like hanging out with Oprah and on you know, doing
uh interviews with her. Was a besties with Gwyneth Paltrow.
She was on her Goop podcast all the time, Jennet Bush,

(01:46):
Hagar Reese, Witherspoon, and and because because she had she
had written this this book called The Tell, which was
a is a nonfiction memoir about growing up and am Marillo,
Texas and between the ages of twelve to sixteen, one
of her teachers there repeatedly sexually assaulting her. And so

(02:11):
she was, you're so brave, thank you for the book,
thank you for the story. It's perfect time. We're in
the me too era. And she you know, she did
well on camera and she talked about this this horrible
experience of the experience by the way, that she had
forgotten about, according to her, until very recently, like right

(02:32):
around the time the all this met too was kicking off,
and she remembered it because she dosed herself with MDMA
ecstasy and molly. You're basically the combination thereof. And at
that then she started having visions of what had happened
to her. And then under the care of a physician,
I'm making air quotes, she went, she underwent MDMA treat

(02:57):
therapy to remember what happened, and so she wrote this
very detailed thing. She turned it up publisher Penguin. The
publisher Penguin got the narrative. They decided to not use
the teacher's name, so they gave him an alias, mister
Madison I think is what it was. And they published

(03:19):
the book. And while they chose not to use the
teacher's name, and they felt that they felt they said
that we had sufficiently guarded the teacher's identity, they didn't.
In fact, there were Yeah, it's so hard nowadays. You
see people like on the Internet with the super sleuthing
there on the reddits. So people immediately were able to

(03:43):
figure out. And Amarilla is not that big of a city.
I think it's a couple hundred thousand people there. I
mean it caused a firestorm. And she did not live
in Amorle, hadn't lived there in decades. But she spoke
to a few things that were identifiable. Clearly they knew
her age, they knew where she went to school, where
she would have been, there was a reference to a specific,
very specific tragedy that had fallen the teacher's family, and

(04:08):
so like they were able to put it together. The teacher,
who has retired at that point, apparently had left town
after the book was published. But the Amarilla Police Department,
who had been reached out to by the editors to
make sure that they had some things correct, were kind

(04:29):
of tipped off what was coming. So, I kids, you not.
They put together a task force within their department because
they expected that when the book was published, all of
a sudden, other victims would start to emerge, so they
wanted to make sure that they had essentially like a
special victims unit ready to go to take the stories
of the people who also had been victimized by this teacher.

(04:53):
The teacher had taught at the district to the same
capacity for thirty years, so their assumption was, while it
may be one at a time, it probably, you know,
you could have ten victims there or whatever. So that
all took place. She's making the round. She got paid
millions of dollars for this, and then after the book

(05:14):
got published, nobody called Nobody emerged a not a victim
of this teacher. What started to happen is others started
to emerge, because like, there's one part of the book
where she talks about a specific dance that took place
in a specific year, where she said that she was

(05:36):
sexually assaulted. And the problem was is that dance did happen,
and somebody was sexually assaulted, but it wasn't her. Now
she can claim it may bee her and this other girl,
but another girl who had documented it at the time
was sexually assaulted and the story was almost exactly the same.

(06:01):
So Ross, this is the part where I need to
make sure you're sitting down, buddy, Are you sitting down?
I show'll go prone? All right, go prone, grab on,
here we go. It appears she made all this up.
Now that's not me saying that. You know who exposed her,
and this is how you know that. Frankly, she probably did.

(06:21):
The New York Times took her apart yesterday, The New
York Times, which of course had been one of the
biggest cheerleaders of this woman. So I think they're willing
to take you apart if you make them look dumb.
And it was starting. People are starting to figure out
that this lady probably made this story up. So the
New York Times wrote a big takedown piece of this,

(06:45):
questioning all aspects of it, and frankly, frankly, I think
being a little butt hurt that they got took as well.
Let's see here. Yeah, it's a really long piece since
behind to paywall, but I I guess I was. I
had one free click left, so I was able to
see it. But yeah, so now this thing, this thing's

(07:10):
all unrattling. So you know, if you if you had
the book or you saw any of this stuff, I
just thought, it's like I'm not saying every time, but like,
it's this, it's it's the you know, because people The
reason I'm pointing out is because people go, well, we
had the the Spring Court nomination right where we were

(07:32):
claiming that uh uh Brett there was he was, you know,
running rape congo lines and Kavanaugh was just this big monster,
and people go, well, why would this woman come forward
to go ahead and and put that out if it
wasn't true. I don't know, maybe this right here, where
this woman made millions of dollars basically ostracized the dude

(07:53):
who had been in the community, with a spotless record
for thirty years, who had to literally flee because people
around him he couldn't go to the store or they'd
stare at him like that's the rapist right there, willing
to make millions of dollars to do it. So and
again make it more difficult for women who actually may
find themselves we're men for that matter, who may find

(08:16):
themselves victimized to come forward because people see this and
they go, look, these these are the elevator. These are
the high holies of sexual assault allegations during the Me
Too era and the whole thing's unraveling. So yeah, that's
where it will start this morning, just because I literally

(08:38):
just got done. Uh yeah, people are writing me like
I don't I honestly, I was asked myself for the
show was going to start this morning. I'm telling you,
I was asking myself that yesterday, sending poor roths three
thousand links. I whittled it down. There were a couple
of stories I didn't put in there. I'm like, I
won't get to them and they won't roll over, So

(08:59):
we'll just go ahead le him out because you have
let me just let me just give you a quick
rundown of what we're going to get into. And I
am just I've almost used just the headlines, all right,
the shooting at Southport, the shooting slash arson in Michigan,
the Iowa superintendent olympian by the way, I just saw

(09:22):
that he might be an Olympian two, which is just bonkers. Man,
Just add that whole story is bonkers. Of course, you know,
we've got a sports rundown. We have the Ryder Cup,
which I'm a little irritated. I'm very irritated over the
When we get into the NFL portion of today's show,
we'll have a little talk that Ross is not though

(09:44):
he was happy. I saw he posted that it was
a beautiful Sunday afternoon. I'm assuming that was what he
was referencing as his team won. But yeah, man, we
got insane prosecutors down in Florida, we got a looming
government shutdown, Kamala Harris, child trafficking kind of. And uh,

(10:04):
that's before I get to any of the side stories.
That's before I get to any of the side stories,
and of course the Portland stuff. So buckle in going
to be a busy show back in just a few minutes.
Something that we were chewing on there. At the end
of the week, of course, you know, Trump went to
the United Nations we had the escalator incident, and I said,

(10:26):
there's there's just no way. We had that quote on
the Sunday previous. We're some workers with UN and be like,
wouldn't it be funny if we just shut the escalator
and elevators off and tell them it's because we're out
of money? Right, Just bitter horrible people's entire existence and
career they owe to the United States basically existing and

(10:46):
housing and funding primarily the UN just the audacity so
but also like they attempted to assault potentially the President
and first Lady. The first lady almost fell over, and
so at that point, I'm like, you better investigate this. Well,
the UN said they did some investigating, and what they

(11:08):
say happened is the dumbest lie I have ever heard
in my life. Bross, did you read through the story
to see what do you how? The UN said the
escalator did the thing where it stopped? I sure did not. Oh, okay,
will you recognize that you ever been on an escalator?
I have, yeah, once or twice. Here were you ever
on an escalator with somebody, maybe you and your wife

(11:29):
at the mall, or yeah, that's been a thing, yep. Okay,
So when you're on an escalator and you want to
talk to the person who's on the escalator with you,
what does the person who's on the escalator first have
to do get on the escalator, but all but to
talk to the person who's behind them, what do they
have to do? They've got to turn around, right you
get sure? Yeah? I guess. Yeah. So, according to the UN,

(11:51):
if you turn around while you're on an escalator, the
escalator stops. It's a safety making Oh is it is
that some sort of remember how that happened every time
you would turn around on an escalator, don't So is
that some sort of weird UN escalators safety protocol? Or
is that? Well apparently not, because the other two escalators there,
people were turned around on that and they didn't stop.
So maybe it's just the one es right, Because what

(12:13):
had happened, according to the UN is a photographer got
on the escalator before the Trump so that the photographer
could turn around and shoot a picture down the escalator
of Trump and Millennia coming up the escalator, which makes sense.
So just in the top part of the frame you
see it for a second, or that news cut where
the guy's on the escalator. He's turned around right as

(12:33):
they're getting on the escalator, and I guess his turning
around triggered the escalator turnaround safety mechanism that we all
know and love. And that's what happened, even though the
not there's other people on the escalators where they're turned
around and it's not doing that. So nobody believes that.
Nobody believes that, and I hope they don't drop this.

(12:57):
I know it's I know it's a very minor thing
and nobody was injured, but it's not a minor thing.
It's the totality of you know, these are the people
that were feeding at the trough of all this waste.
These are the types of people, these un these feckless,
useless rapist in some case un people who sit there

(13:20):
and bemoan their station in life, which had never been
more improved than when the UN was established and they
could all go work there and live in New York City. Okay,
I don't want to hear it for a minute, but
also don't come at me with this whole Oh no,
if you turn around on an escalator. Oh, if you
turn around on an escalator just stops. How many times

(13:40):
have you guys been flying through wrdu right, what do
you got to do? Both coming and going? You know,
you clear security there at ourdu go right down the
escalator at least terminal to there, and I've never seen
that thing shut off. And I fly a bunch and
then flip around when you're what do you do? You

(14:01):
go up the escalator and then you go down the escalator,
depending on where you're parked and how that's working for you.
But if you want to get you know, picked up,
that's where you get picked up. So now you're dealing
with two escalators again, never seen them shut off because
somebody turns around, And people turn around a lot because
they're talking about the trip they just went on. So
the un doesn't even care to come up with a
good excuse. Man, somebody send me an email on the

(14:24):
me Too book Lady story asking what was the teacher
story through all this? Teacher didn't say anything, Nobody didn't
didn't allow any interviews because your time's reached out all
of that, I guess. In the article it just says
it looks like the teacher moved away, so very sad.
Obviously if somebody lived in the community that long or

(14:45):
retired had thought, you know, Prova Pride sounds like a
good career as a teacher, had no complaints getting run
out of town because some woman wants to capitalize on
the me too era and make millions and have a
bunch of willing dupe celebrities to help her do it.
All right, let me get back to this. So you know,

(15:08):
you see this story down in Southport again, I don't know,
there's just an extra thing when you're you know, you're
reading a story and you know somebody's in the story.
You know, location that's in the story. You spend some
time there, you know, especially when it's not necessarily even
right around your house. So but I distinctly remembered taking

(15:31):
a couple of trips to Baldhead with some friends over
the years, and and doing one night in Southport and
you know, hitting the hitting the little warf area there,
taking the ferry over doing that and then just having
a good old time and then taking the last one
back over they get a little bar in the harbor there,
and then hoping the the little carts over to the

(15:53):
rental man, good times, good times, and so American Fish
Company right there on the point is is a great
little hang. You know, it's gonna have the beachy bar.
It's definitely a beach bar. They got live music, that
drinks or you know, margarita's and pina coladas, but you
know they got other stuff too, clearly, you know if

(16:13):
you don't drink that. But everyone's just having a good
time and it's a nice mix. Or's some locals there.
It's a lot of tourists, a lot of people have
the you know, the vacation homes down there. And so,
according to police, Saturday night, some guy in a boat
basically because it's you know, it's waterfront, pulls up and
then starts firing into the crowd and it would have

(16:36):
been crowded, it would have been maybe not as crowded
as is in the middle of summer, but it's gonna
be pre it's a lot of people on that deck
at that time, and is able to kill three injure
another five and uh, you know, then just get on
out of there, but not fast enough. Eventually they assess

(17:00):
was located, matching the description. The coast guard took the
suspect into custody, and it was a very very short
window before details about who this individual, you know, who
allegedly did this was started rolling out. And in fact,
let me get to a little audio here from the
chief of police down in Southport, Oh Where am I

(17:28):
looking at the chiefs audio on here? Oh? Did I? Oh?
Dang it? Okay, that's fine, I'll read the quote here. Boy,
I thought I sent that. It's fine. I can read
the quote for sure. That is when the chief of
police in a news conference, a series of news conferences,
identified an individual who goes by Nigel Edge. I understand

(17:49):
that that is he changed his name to that who's
been charged with three counts of first degree murder, five
counts of attempted first degree murdered, five counts of assault
with the deadly weapon least say the lives in Oak Island,
and this is how they worked it self. Identifies as
an injured combat veteran who suffers from PTSD and up

(18:12):
to an including where he may have he may have
taken a bullet to the head. Kind of but a
lot of this information I noticed people were leaning off
this guy's own Facebook page. I think he was a marine.
I have not seen it confirmed. But yeah, there's a
picture of him when he's quite a bit younger in

(18:35):
the standard marine dress with the standard photo that marines
get when they're a and and in it he would
hold the rank I think I saw the think he
would he have three up. Yeah, so he would have
been a sergeant, I guess. So anyway, and you know,
to the extent of the injuries or the PTSD or
the wound or traumatic brain injury, because that that's brought
up here, you know, all this is relevant clearly, but

(18:59):
you know, you try to extrapolate why somebody may have
done something. And while the chief there talked about also
how this dude was known in the community. Apparently he had,
he had been there, he'd been to that bar, he'd
been up to the wharf, he had interacted with police

(19:21):
in a variety of ways. So they didn't get into it. It
didn't sound like it was anything too crazy, but it
sounded like he was a known weird dude, I guess
would be the way to describe it, which, you know,
whether he was just weird or it was weirdness that
was born out of a traumatic brain injury. I don't
know that they know quite yet, but something set him off,

(19:42):
according to police, because they said that there was a
this was not a there was not one. He didn't
just decide to do it that night. They kind of
implied that it was there was some planning there and
that there may have been something that led up to it.
What it is we do not know yet, but for
it to happen in South Southport is crazy because it's

(20:05):
just so I mean, it's just it's so random. So
when they start filling in those pieces where he may
have been, you know, brewing on this for a while,
I think there's got to be some more that's going
to come out. What it is, I don't know, but
that's where we are there. Unlike the Michigan the Michigan thing,

(20:26):
I still have no idea, and we'll get into more
details on it. I still have no idea because that's
one of the things. The first things we try to
do is formulate a motive because it helps. We want
when horrible things happen, we want to understand why they happened.
I think that's just human nature and I have I
was doing this morning. I spent most of my little time,

(20:46):
my little research time that I do in the morning,
just trying to figure out if they'd updated anything on
the guy who allegedly drove his truck into a church
and shot it up and then arsened it and then
eventually got took out by a game and fish or
a wildlife officer. And because it's just like dude's Mary.
He's got a kid, a bunch of pictures of him
with his kid, you know, going duck hunting. They're talking

(21:08):
to some guys, some local guys are like, oh, who's
a stand up guy. We hung out with them all
the time. Like and but he too, also a marine
combat veteran. And so then you like, did two marines
who suffered some sort of TV I both snap on
the same weekend? And why would you go shoot up

(21:31):
a Mormon schure, a Latter day Saints church, an arsenate?
And was there any connection? I don't get the impression
that he himself was a member of the congregation or
anything that one is. Uh, I have no idea what's
going on there? All right, let me grab a call here. Okay,
Jake lives in Southport. Now, Jake, how you doing this morning?

Speaker 2 (21:50):
I'll do all right home right now, I.

Speaker 1 (21:54):
Imagine, imagine, So so I'm assuming you spent more than
a minute or so. And that little bar restaurant area
there in Southport, right.

Speaker 2 (22:03):
Uh yeah, Actually the place next door is called the Provisions,
and that's Provisions excellent.

Speaker 1 (22:09):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, there's a couple of good little
restaurants bars. I've had fun when i've been down there. Man,
had a great time. For a little city, it's got
a lot of phenomenal.

Speaker 2 (22:17):
That's a little great. My kids, we were just out
on the water last weekend, not this weekend, but last
weekend before. And my kid's favorite thing is to roll
by the dock and wave at the people.

Speaker 1 (22:29):
Yeah. Yeah, that's that, And it's good time today if
you're there for a few hours. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (22:35):
And we even we even like because we go out
and Grandpa's boat and we dock at the Provision and
we'll eat dinner there or we'll eat lunch there, and
it's just it's so close to home. And the problem
about you know, it being at the at the UH,
at the at the American Fish Company, it's it's a bar.
But like, you can't bring a firearm in a bar, right,

(22:56):
so you have zero way of protecting yourself, let alone
from from fifty to one hundred yards out.

Speaker 1 (23:03):
On a boat. Well, and you're explaining people have to
understand it's not just a bar. It's a bar that
sticks out on the edge of like think of an arrow.
So like you hire you, you have threats from like
two hundred and sixty degrees around you, potentially from somebody
on the water. Yeah exactly.

Speaker 2 (23:23):
I mean, God forbid you get drunk and fall off
in the truck there.

Speaker 1 (23:26):
But hey, well, hey, that's that's on you at that point,
you know what I'm saying.

Speaker 3 (23:30):
Yeah, look like I said I come out here for work,
I actually am about to leave for work. I live
in I am currently living in boiling A Spring of Lakes,
and it's like about an hour to get there if
I don't pop in the boat, get to.

Speaker 2 (23:44):
The dock, set the boat, get there. It's horrible. I
mean I literally was there last weekend.

Speaker 1 (23:52):
Did you talk to anybody to say, you said, your
grandfather lives there, lives there? Right?

Speaker 2 (23:57):
Well, my father in law, my father in law had that.

Speaker 1 (24:00):
Yeah, Okay, do they know this dude? I mean, this
is a small town. Like, is this dude kind of enough?

Speaker 2 (24:08):
You would think?

Speaker 4 (24:09):
So?

Speaker 2 (24:09):
Being the second my father him out of the uh,
Vietnam Marine Corps veteran. But he doesn't, I mean he
doesn't obviously know him because I mean, bald Heads a
good distance.

Speaker 1 (24:20):
Away, but we yeah, they lived on live on bald Head.
I went to bald Head. But yeah, yeah, all right,
Well thanks for the spy report there, Jake. I'll let
you get to work. Yeah. Yeah, So that's it's it's
small enough town if you've got a guy who's because
everybody kind of knows their local weirdos. Ross, you got

(24:44):
any local weirdos in the wake Wake Forest area that
everyone kind of knows, that's local weirdo guy. I could do.
When I lived like Glenwood and Raleigh, there was two
of them. It's damn near every day every day. One
of them would always wore a pimp coat home. And
it didn't matter if it was a thousand friggin degrees out,
dudes wearing that pimpcoat. When I say pimpcoat, I mean

(25:06):
like the full huggy bear furry, you know, ankle length pimpcoat.
And I'd walk out out down Glenwood for something and
I'm like, and he was not aggressive, he was not
you know, he wasn't like screaming at people or trying
to fight people. He was just walking around in that
pimpcoat man talking to himself, having a good old time.

(25:28):
So you know what the answer is, I don't know,
but there is a little bit of irony that that bar,
that American Fish company that we were just talking about
where the shooting happened was actually and it was in
a Nicholas Sparks movie called safe Haven, which is kind
of ironic if you think about it. All right, we'll

(25:50):
head to Michigan next for our back to back Horrible
News tour and that's coming up. Hang on what happened
in Southport. The very next day, you wake up up
getting ready. Some of us are waking up extra early
because their NFL teams are forced to play in Dublin
and then stay over and play for another week. We'll

(26:10):
get into that. But you get up and then you
see in Michigan there's a friggin church on fire. Right,
You just greet it with that image like what the
heck is going on? And then the story starts to emerge.
That's some lunatic in a truck rammed into the church
and then as people because because the people in the
church or church people and They're like, oh, no, somebody

(26:32):
just had an accent in the parking lot. So they
literally come out of the church to help, and according
to police, a guy emerges from the truck and starts
shooting at people. So people run back into the church
to grab their family members and get out of there
and go out another exit. All the while this person
is unloading on members of the congregation, killing two injured.

(26:56):
And that's the number rat I don't know if that
number adjusted or will will adjust depending on the extent
of injuries, but extensive injuries, roughly a dozen other people injured,
and then, according to authorities, arson's the church, at which
point wildlife officer and some other type of officer I'm

(27:20):
not sure exactly what it is show up and engage
this guy and shoot him dead. And you start seeing
the pictures of birds. You got two big American flags
on the back of his truck, and you're like, oh,
what is this? And then we start to get some details.
Now this one, I do know. I have the chiefs audio,

(27:42):
so let's go ahead and get into just kind of
what's going on up there from the perspective of the
press conference. Oope, hold on my button bar here, all right,
let's try again. Nope, that's great price the button It's

(28:03):
a Monday, so of course the button bar is not
going to be working. What are we doing.

Speaker 5 (28:08):
The incident that we're going to talk about here today,
as I said, was happening at ten twenty five am
at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter day Saints,
which is located at forty two eighty five mccalus Road.
During this incident, what we know right now is that
a forty year old suspect from Burton, He's a male.

(28:31):
He drove his vehicle through the front doors of the church.
He then exited his vehicle, firing several rounds at individuals
within the church. Ten gunshot victims have been transported to
local hospitals at this time, including one who has been deceased.

(28:54):
Officers who were trained immediately responded to the area. One
was a DNA our officer and then one was a
Grand Blank Township officer where they met the suspect and
they engaged in gunfire with that particular individual neutralized and
add suspect, and that suspect is no longer with us.

(29:14):
As I said, it is a forty year old male
from Bertin.

Speaker 1 (29:19):
Okay, all right, so that's you know, that's very standard
by the books. Clearly, following that press conference, a few
things happened. Another victim died. I believe that person was
not even you know what I I was having trouble
understanding whether it was among the ones that were initially
taken to the hospital, because there's another statement that was

(29:40):
made where there's still because you know, church is on fire,
they may find people in there, so I don't know
if they were then you know, the the extra people
found to be in there. However, we do know a
lot more about the individual that they believe did this,
and his background is Thomas Anford. That's again, that's the

(30:02):
extent to which we'll use his name. Allegedly ran the
truck into it before opening fire. Let's see here a
Facebook post by his mother says the gunman or alledged
gunman who died on the scene served in Iraq from
two thousand and four to two thousand and eight. He
was a US Marine and I didn't see anything about

(30:24):
injuries that he suffered, right because we were talking about
a traumatic brain injury with the shooter down in Southport.
Other than they have a ten year old son who
has a congenital basically his pancreas releases too much insulin.
We know this because they did a go fundme fundraiser
for some sort of treatment and he needed to have
But most of the other most of the other pictures

(30:45):
are just him with his family, going hunting, with his son,
hanging out. He's got a wife and a kid, and like,
there is no indication that I've seen as to what
the heck may have. Like they're still looking for a
motive that the leader of the Church of Jesus Christ
the Latter day Saints literally just died at the age
of one hundred and one, and they're like wondering if

(31:06):
that has anything to do with it, which I can't,
for the life of me figure out how that might
be a motive. But that's how strange all this is.
So I will be looking forward to more information coming
out on this, just trying to wrap my head around
it like everybody else. Yeah, So I just figured I
just figured out who this Howard. You guys know who.
Howard Ruben is New York City financier. So also he's

(31:34):
tied in with Sorows, which you know, baked that what
you will. So he was arrested over the weekend for
allegedly sex trafficking women to his sex dungeon. But denisaw
a picture of him and I'm like, why do I
recognize that dude? And then I realized the guy kind

(31:56):
of looks like Bronson. How do you say his last name?
Pin Chow Balki. He looks like Balki from Perfect Strangers Man,
But Balki when he's in the era where he was,
Oh what was the the Langeleiers. I don't know if
you guys ever watched that really horrible Stephen King adaptation,

(32:17):
but it's that Balki looks exactly like this this Howard
Rubin and I couldn't put my finger on it yesterday,
but then I just figured it out. I love Balkis
Man be ridiculous. Yeah, what a great show. That was
Perfect Stranger That's a good show. The show went the
absolute crap when the girlfriends moved in. Yeah, oh oh yeah, yeah,

(32:38):
you g that was that was awful. Although Ross was
reminded there's an I don't I don't remember this episode.
I thought I remember when I was a kid, there
was an episode where for some reason, and I don't
know if it was the whole episode or just like
a segment of it, but Balki was dressed as a ninja. Okay,
and Larry gets home. Cousin Larry gets home and he's
looking for Balkay and Balki's positioned above like the fireplace,

(32:59):
in this pose, flat against the wall, wearing the ninja. Yeah.
I remember as a kid it was Belkie's awesome. Yeah. Yeah.
So unfortunately, poor Balki. Howard Rubin kind of looks like you. Also,
I have I have a question. I don't know that
and maybe I'm you know, maybe it's not fair. I
was gonna say, I don't. I feel like any time
we do a story on this show that involves a

(33:20):
sex dungeon, it's very negative, and that would lead one
to believe that any that all sex dungeons are for
illegal purposes. And I'm sure that's not the case. But
but I'm also sure that this comment on here is
not true but is made by somebody who has a
sex dungeon, because in the comment under I saw this

(33:40):
story on Twitter, somebody wrote millions of Americans have sex dungeons.
This basically that this is unfair to people with sex dungeons.
I agree that not everyone who has a dungeon of
sort of that sort is up to no good. However,
I don't think millions of people have a dungeon. Ross

(34:03):
do you have a dungeon, You don't have a don't
have a basement, So like millions, like I'm walking by
people with these types of dungeons every day. I mean,
I'm sure I probably interacted with something. Look, here's the deal. Inherently,
it's not illegal to have one of these. It's the

(34:24):
whole trafficking people, some of them underage. That's where you're
gonna get in trouble. And also the stuff that he's
alleged to do to the women, like they'd get him
in there and they drug him and then he would
electrocute them for his own pleasure. Which you know, that's
a problem. But if you ever tell me you have
a dungeon, I'm gonna have some questions. Just saying the

(34:51):
the dungeon, which sat on West fifty seventh Street, was
soundproof painted red. I had a device that was used
to shock and electrocute the women. And I'm also had
a giant upside down cross. Okay, well, now all the
symbolism people are up, you're gonna be loving this bed
with restraints. I'm not you know what, I can't even

(35:14):
read some of this other states. It's all the horrible
stuff that's going through your head right now is probably
in this thing. I'll just tell you can go look
at the story yourself. We'll tweet it out for you.
But ah, yeah, that's uh, that is awful. All right,
I gotta pivot to something else. I don't want to
dwell upon this. Uh, let's go ahead and pivot to

(35:34):
this story out of Florida. Actually have a couple of
stories where, you know, because I just mentioned Soros, So
let's let's complete the trifecta. One of the one of
the most insidious things that Soros, and he's not the
only one. But but like hard hard leftist groups have done,

(35:55):
is they realized the how valuable it was if they
wanted to basically just bypassed electorate and start doing whatever
they wanted. It would be to sorry, I just rubbed
something in my EYI there. It would be to get
into these da you know, district attorney positions and various others,
start stocking judge ships because you don't have to change

(36:17):
the law if you just refuse to enforce the law.
And so we had a couple of incidents that came
to light over the weekend. First a woman in New
York City who was sucker punched, who was old a
sign she was a pro life advocate, hold a sign her,
and it's on video you see the woman just sucker
punch her for no reason. She connects that woman who

(36:40):
punched her will not be charged. Why because Alvin Bragg's
office says they forgot to file a piece of paperwork
for discovery and turn over evidence, so they weren't able
to meet a Statute a limitations requirement and now they're
not gonna be able to prosecute, which is crazy ironic
because this is the guy who into a new statute

(37:01):
of limitations thing to get Trump, but chose not to
follow through in this particular case that had big political
implications because it's the you know, the whole pro life
pro death argument there. So that's number one. But more
egregious is down in Florida, because now you're screwing around
in Florida where there's a little more oversight of a

(37:23):
well just say a conservative nature, where a prosecutor down
there is accused of basically throwing out a couple cases
that seem to be slammed dunks and the types of
people you would probably want to prosecute, including a guy
who was at a park. There's a kid's park. Excuse me,

(37:44):
by the way, her name is, she's Florida State Attorney
Monique Whirl, who declined to prosecute a man who was
pleasuring himself sitting on a bench in front of children
at a children's park. And if that wasn't egregious enough,
So basically, he's got his he's got his hand inside
of his unzipped shorts or pants or whatever, and parents

(38:07):
are out there can clearly tell what he's doing. And
then if he does it for five minutes, and then
when he's done, he stands up, but his pants are
not up, so he then exposes everything to everyone there,
quickly zips up and leaves. They're able to, you know,

(38:30):
go grab this dude. And she decided that we're not
going to prosecute. We don't have a case, even though
they have multiple witnesses. The guy admitted to it, and
yet they still decided not to prosecute. And there's been
some other stuff, some other sex crime stuff, that she
also hadn't prosecute to the point where the Florida Attorney

(38:53):
General wrote her a letter and so what the hell
are you doing? And then the governor spoke out on it,
and rather and just taking her medicine or coming up
with some excuse, she actually decided to be defiant about
the whole thing.

Speaker 6 (39:05):
All things that are wrong are not illegal. And I'm
not standing before you today telling you that what happened
in that park was wrong. But I am standing before
you today telling you that I trust the word of
the attorney who was assigned to this case when he said,
although those actions were wrong, he could not prove beyond

(39:29):
a reasonable doubt that they were illegal.

Speaker 1 (39:32):
I don't know how that would be if the story
is as it was described, where you have multiple parents
in sworn Affi Davids who saw they're going to say
the argument even though they don't clearly make it there
I'm assuming is that you don't know what he was
doing inside of his pants. But I'm sorry, isn't that
negated once they get a full view of his business

(39:56):
there from when he stood up. We're gonna pretend that
was just an accident when everyone knows what's going on? No, no, no,
no no, And of course you know she is. There's
a bunch of super woke stuff in her background, including
some advocacy stuff that frankly, she's probably not supposed to
be doing. But there you go. That's I'll just pair

(40:19):
those three horrible stories together. All right, we come back.
We've got a few little sports things we got to
get into. Anybody looking for yard decorations, I may have
an idea for you, and you're gonna save a lot
of money. Plus we'll try to figure out who is
the bigger anti ice protester, idiots or idiot. In fact,

(40:40):
I did a poll, so we'll check in to see
how that's shaping up. We'll do it coming up next
Cacoday radio program. So this is interesting, Ross I want
to go because one of our listeners found the Balkias
and Ninja video and posted it on the Twitter. Yeah,
of course that's the world famous Dibbs and so we
were just watching the Ninja attacked by Balki on Larry

(41:02):
So Well that's the only episode I remember, honestly, and
I don't even remember why Balki was a ninja. Imagine,
because the writers were sitting there and ninja's were popular,
and they're like, how can we turn Balki into a ninja? Yeah,
So here's the According to IMDb, here is the episode premise.
After Larry and Balki get beaten up by a bully,
they decided to learn karate for self defense and apparently

(41:24):
Balki excels over Larry so and their spar is how
they're sparring with each other. So that's the premise. But
I didn't realize until I got on this IMDb thing.
Is the first is that was season three. The first
season is six episodes plus a pilot, and the reason
was is they made the pilot and they were going

(41:49):
to use the show to fill for another for another
canceled show because they didn't think that people would like
this show, and then they did. So the first season
is only six episodes, but they didn't even air one
of them, and apparently it was very popular, so from
there they went into full production. It was great. The
intro was fantastic, remember that, Yeah, like Balki coming to

(42:09):
America and being on the boat and seeing the Statue
of Liberty and then driving to Chicago. Yeah, which you know,
it's exactly how they still still did it back in
nineteen eighty six or whatever they're on the I think
it was the same boat the Godfather was, so right,
pretty sure. Anyway, what a crazy sports day, sports weekend?
I should say so high lights low lights. First, uh

(42:32):
Ross's team won, so he's happy. Did they win convincingly
enough for you?

Speaker 5 (42:38):
Do?

Speaker 1 (42:39):
You know the season's early w's at W correct, So
we didn't get one of those. So the Vikings, and
I'm sorry, man, let's just say this. This is the
stuff that makes me so mad. THENI the unbridled greed
of the NFL. Now, look, they can do whatever they want, right,
it's not my business, and I could, I could choose

(43:00):
to stop giving a crap, But it's just the it
was just the pattern of dishonesty. Man says, I was
still broadcasting in Minnesota when the Vikings were trying to
get a new stadium and they were threatening to leave.
You know, all the stuff. It's a standard playbook. Hell,
the NFL probably coaches them on it. And so they

(43:21):
were going through a bunch of ideas. But the claim
was that they couldn't compete with you know, because the Viking,
you know, for Vikings fans all we want is the
same thing the Bills fans wants. I believe, just a ring,
Just give us one. Both our teams have have gone.
I mean clearly Ross's team had it worse because you

(43:42):
guys decided to do it in a row, which I
can't even imagine how demoralizing that must be. Whereas for me,
I really didn't have to suffer that because the Vikings
Super Bowl losses predate me. That being said, getting there
and losing four times ain't no fun. So we just
want to get over that hump. So they were selling

(44:02):
it as the way that you get over the hump
is the Vikings need a first class or they need
a facility there. You know. The theory on the Metrodome,
the conspiracy theory. I don't know if you guys remember
the Metrodome had the roof collapse and there was all
that snow that fell through. There are a lot of
people who believe that that was a decision, intentional decision

(44:22):
not to clear the snow so that it would fall through,
to force the hand of the local lawmakers to try
to do something, and it ended with the Twins getting
their own stadium, then the Vikings getting their own stadium.
But they needed that stadium. They needed the modern facility
to compete and also for the revenue, right and so,

(44:44):
and that's when Red McCombs unloaded the teams. Ziggy Wolf
and his brother came in and bought it. And ironically,
as this whole stadium thing was going, Ziggy Wilf just
happened to buy all of the real estate around where
the stadium was going to go, even though it had
not been decided. I did, including buying out the Star Tribune,
the whole newspaper building was it was so and he

(45:07):
was a real estate developer by trade. That's where he
Wade made his money. But that all came to pass
and they got their stadium and all that, and then
the NFL, in an effort to grow their brand worldwide,
which I understand, started doing all these away games. All right,
we're gonna go play here. We'll do one in London.
I think London was the first one they ever did,

(45:31):
and then we're gonna do two in London, and then
we'll do one in Mexico City, how about Brazil and Dublin?
And they got played Germany, and I think they got
plans for a few other cities. Yet, and they have
stated that the goal is that they want to get
like sixteen international games. Well, what does that mean for

(45:51):
fans here? Because I don't think there's anybody who feels
that it is a net positive for their team to travel.
And then last year the NFL they wanted to see,
how about a team does two away? Right, so they
get two games and then that team will essentially stay
over in Europe and then go play in two countries
and lo and behold. The team that they decided they

(46:12):
were going to do it with was the Minnesota Vikings,
and there are a lot of angry Vikings fans, and
there are a lot of angry tax payers who paid
for the construction of that stadium through a half cent
sales tax that was thrust out thrust upon them. Lot
of bitterness there, and I'm glad. I would have been
super p oed Man. I was a season ticket holder

(46:33):
when I lived there. And we're gonna chat with Ray
stage at here in like ten minutes, so we'll see
how his feels are. I think he was. He's kind
of accepted that the Dallas is not that good this year,
and so I think he thought they were going to
lose to the Packers. They didn't lose, they also didn't win. Yeah,
that's right. Sunday night football. Last night, I fell asleep

(46:55):
like way early last night, so I watched none of
this game. That was kind of I was locked into
this new series on Netflix called House of Guinness, which
I thought, Oh, maybe it's like beer reviews, but no,
it's it's it's like a period piece and it's done
by the same guy who does who did Peaky Blinders,

(47:16):
if you guys are into that, But it is definitively
not the same as Peaky Blinders. I don't know how
to describe. But it's set basically, you know, it's a
period piece set in Ireland around the time that the
not that it hadn't been going on for a long time,
but basically with the death of the main guinness dude

(47:38):
with his four dysfunctional kids, which is kind of true.
I mean, it's it's fiction based on a true story,
they say, but there's some truth to it, and it's
really well shot that the stuff like a very entertaining
there's a part there's a part of it though that
just kept bothering me. And that is and this has
been a thing that has happened with a few movies

(47:58):
as of late. The track is all like super modern,
like techno or hip hop or just it's all super
modern music and it's just weird because everyone's dressed, you know,
and in you know, eighteen hundred's Dublin gear Man and so.

(48:22):
But I I find it entertaining. The soundtrack thing, I
just I just don't know. So I was watching that yesterday.
But if you're into that kind of stuff, I'd recommend it,
all right. So that's an a side piece so you have.
So I'm not watching the game, but I'm still stewing
from earlier in the day because this whole making a
team go play two games back to back over in

(48:43):
England and not use the stadium the taxpayers paid for it,
so that everybody's wallet can get fatter while rings are
never acquired. It just irritates me. By the way, do
you see the backup quarterback for Pittsburgh was literally mugged
or beaten up on the streets of Dublin the day
before the game, which which is helping me make my

(49:04):
decision because I've always wanted to go back to Ireland
because I've really enjoyed it. I've been there twice, once
as an adult, once as a kid. Really enjoyed it,
really enjoyed it, and I always thought I wanted to
go back. But I'm watching what's happening over in Ireland,
just like it's happened over in England. And I'm but
if you know, a six foot four, two hundred and

(49:25):
thirty pound, six percent body fat, maybe NFL quarterback is
getting jumped on the streets of Dublin. Maybe I don't
want to go. But that's just me. So so they're
going to go do their little back to back. Meanwhile,
we got ties going on, I mean, just the whole thing.
Just really it's just souring me on on all of it.

(49:46):
I mean, the International Games shouldn't be a thing, and
ties also should not be a thing. They should not exist.
So how do you how do you purport? You just
got to keep playing out like it's college, Yes, I
mean union and the team. What happens, what happens here
in your six overtime and that's when Josh Allen breaks
his leg. Upset that the breaks you should have scored before.

(50:09):
This is America. We don't have ties. What is this like?
It's soccer? Like it's you're poor soccer. Well, really, it
is disgusting. I don't I hate it. I can't stand. Yeah,
did you I'm sure you followed the Ryder Cup all weekend? Yeah,
of course. Yeah. What was your favorite part? The heckling? Okay,
well that's because you dubbed the heckling in that is true.

(50:32):
That's how you know that there was heckling. No, we
talked so that that was definitely a part of it,
and that was literally kind of how they were promoting
this particular one because as I explained to Denise Pellegrini
last weekend, and we've talked about here on the show,
that's the thing. You're in New York, you know, you're
not far from If you don't know where beth Plage
Black is, it's in Farmingdale. It's where all the big course,

(50:56):
you know, the big kind of famous courses they play
out on Long Island are right. Long Island Railway goes
right by there, and they get they got they got
a bunch of courses out there, So you know, it's
it's probably twenty twenty miles from New York City as
the crow flies, Clearly it'll take a lot longer to
travel there. But that's you know, that's that's where it's at.

(51:17):
And so you get that New York City attitude, you
get the heckling, and it's you know, here's how the
heckling's supposed to work. Heckle all you want, because this
isn't us versus them. That's what the Ryder Cup is,
and inevitably it's also what the President's Cup is, which
is when the US takes on everyone in the rest
of the world. So not the Europeans, but everyone else,

(51:38):
so South Africans, the Australians, the Asia, you know, all
the Asian countries, but the European one is the more
storied one. And so this is what happens. And the
deal is heckle away. I mean, you don't want to
be dropping f bombs. You're not supposed to it. And
now the players will swear right back at you. So
maybe that's okay, and you know, a threat to kill anybody.

(52:02):
But so you can heckle as players walking by if
they miss a shot, and you're happy, you cheer. That's
all part for the course to use that punt. The
problem becomes they were getting under the skin of McElroy.
McElroy's kind of become a villain in some golf fan's eyes.
I don't know. I enjoy watching Rory play man, and

(52:24):
I think it's because he comes across as kind of
an a hole, and I think he is. And the
part where he had a fiance and then just dumped
her with a text or a postcard or something, people
thought he was a bad dude for that, but I
don't know internally what was going on. But he was
getting really he was getting upset, man, he was getting upset,
And to some extent I would agree with him, because

(52:46):
the heckling is supposed to stop once the once the
guy is getting ready to hit, right, So they have
what's called a preshot routine. And if you know what
it is, you know what it is. Right. They may
be doing a little they're standing away from the ball,
but when they come to address at the ball, when
they walk over the ball. Because here's what an amateur
player will do when they get ready to hit. They'll

(53:07):
take practice swings like a couple inches from the ball.
They'll back off a couple inches, which is dumb if
you think about it, because if you strike that ball,
that's a stroke. Man. So pro you know, pro golfer,
they'll get like they'll sometimes be like a yard behind
the ball taking the practice swing. Then they'll step up
to it. Once they step up to it, they're going
to go through a range of motion. So for me,

(53:30):
my preshot routine is somebody who's not a really good
golfer or even a mildly good golfer, is to take
the practice swings. When I step up, I am cognizant
of where the heel of my front foot is going
to align with the ball, which is important based on
the club or any of it. I'm going to then
set my back foot. I'm going to be cognizant of

(53:53):
putting a slight bend into my knees, and at that
point I'm then going to eye my target, figure it out,
make sure that my grip is solid, and then start
my swing and take the swing. And sometimes it goes
where I want. Most of the time it really doesn't,
but that's it. So from there you need to shut
up and on putting. It's the same thing less less

(54:15):
so with the feet, but there's a lot of calculations
you're making in your head. And they were not giving
Rory that chance, and he was blowing up over. The
problem is once you feed that beast, it's just gonna

(54:36):
get worse man, And it did, and it got to
the point where Rory was refusing to take shots man,
which can get you on the clock in golf, right,
there's a there's if you're playing too slow, that can
get you on the clock. Man. I don't think we
should talking.

Speaker 4 (54:50):
About I think golf should be held a higher standard
than than what was, you know, than what was seeing
out there this week. Golf has the ability to unite people.
Golf teaches you very good life lessons. It teaches you etiquette,

(55:11):
It teaches you how to play by the rules, It
teaches you how to respect people. And you know, sometimes
this week we didn't see that. So no, this should
not be what is acceptable in the Ryder Cup. But
you know, we will be making sure to say to
our fans in Ireland in twenty twenty seven that you know,

(55:34):
what happened here this week is not acceptable and it's you.

Speaker 7 (55:37):
Know, for me, it's.

Speaker 4 (55:41):
You know, come and support your home team, you know,
come and support your team.

Speaker 6 (55:45):
You know.

Speaker 4 (55:45):
I think if I was an American I would be
annoyed that people I didn't hear a lot of shots
for Scotty today, but I heard a lot of shots
against me.

Speaker 1 (55:54):
Okay, well again, you're playing a Beth Page. It's the
whole attitude of it. And I think what was bothering
Rory Moore is that the first two days of the
Ryder Cup, so Friday and Saturday, the Europeans absolutely kicked
the Americans butt. There's no other way to describe it.
It was an app It was going to be the

(56:14):
worst beating in the Ryder Cup in modern I think,
in modern history, or in the history of the thing,
or pretty darn close. I mean it was they were
They had to win two matches out of twelve in
the one on one on Sunday. However, there is a

(56:35):
thing and Rosss goes back to what you were talking about.
So in the Ryder Cup you can tie. You can
tie because there's twenty eight total points and if you
get fourteen fourteen, the team who won last retains the cup.
But there's another rule and this kind of annoyed me,
though it turned out not to matter, but it almost
mattered because the Americans went on a tear and almost

(56:55):
won every single match yesterday, including Rory's and uh. The
rule is and I didn't know about this. One of
the European players woke up yesterday morning and said that
he slept funny on his neck and so he couldn't play.
And what happens in that case is they are then

(57:18):
awarded a half point, because if you win your match,
you get a point. If you split your match, each
gets a half point. That's how it works. And so
rather than America having the opportunity to attempt to capture
that entire point, then one of the American players had
to sit out yesterday. I think that's hot garbage. If
you can't play, that's a you problem. That's not a

(57:39):
me problem, that's a you problem. Because America needed every
opportunity yesterday. Now, they ended up losing at the end
of the Europeans ended up getting fifteen, so it didn't matter.
But for a long time it looked like it was
gonna be fourteen and a half, so it still would
have been a tie then, so it would have mattered.
And I don't like it. Speaking of ties, ray Stagic
is either a fan of ties or heats some Oh gosh, well,

(58:01):
you thought you were gonna lose, so I mean, it's
just just as well were you not glad I went
to bet at halftime. Oh you're not happy at all.

Speaker 7 (58:11):
It's so what Green Bay should be more upset than
I should.

Speaker 1 (58:17):
I'm upset. I wanted you to beat him all I asked.

Speaker 2 (58:23):
You.

Speaker 7 (58:24):
Sometimes I want to on it, you know, yeah, and
sometimes I wonder, you know, you got to wonder if
the fix is in, and.

Speaker 1 (58:31):
Oh, yeah, it's rigged. Man.

Speaker 7 (58:36):
Well you wouldn't want to blow out on that Sunday
night game right now? You want?

Speaker 1 (58:41):
Right here, I'm with you, But I think the whole
US having to go to Europe for two weeks is rigged.
Man's greed.

Speaker 7 (58:46):
Yeah, I mean they wanted you to hang around at
halftime too, so you can get the announcement who was
playing halftime? And so then then then keep you after that.
I'm sure.

Speaker 1 (58:56):
So they're gonna, Yeah, they got the guy who just
canceled all this concerts in the US is now going
to do the Super Bowl. They'll make it make sense to.

Speaker 7 (59:03):
Me, right, So, and trying to make sense out of
a forecast, which, at least for a few model runs,
looked a little more intimidating. Now I think everybody's gotten
the word. Most of the impacts will be limited. Some
showers today, tonight, tomorrow, try it to the triangle, and
worse conditions though out to the coast the Carolina, Southeast

(59:23):
Georgia and even Florida. You know, rip current, risks, beat erosion,
heavy rainfall, even some localized flooding. Won't be widespread, but
we can't say there won't be any impacts from Amelda,
but they'll be limited. And it's kind of this little
piece or these little pieces of rain that'll break off
for the main circulation. It all looks connected, so let's

(59:44):
just say indirectly, but that's going to stick around here
the next couple of days, a little breezy at times
at or just above seventy degrees, and by midweek Wednesday,
we're really going to go into a beautiful run right
through the weekend with sunshine near or maybe just a
little above seventy. There might be a couple of days
where the triad in the mountains actually stay in the
upper sixties. So got very pleasant cool days coming up

(01:00:05):
midweekend beyond toward the weekend, and some cool nights coming up.
Gonna help with that fall color show. But today tomorrow,
widely scattered showers, maybe a rumble of thunder worse the
further east you go. Other than that, limited impacts even
to the coast of compared to where we could have
been when we were looking at something that could have
made landfall last week.

Speaker 1 (01:00:23):
But it's out, okay, all right. I saw that the
hurricanes were fighting or something, so yeah, Fuji war effect
and all that. But we'll get it too. Like we
need our own name. I don't want to have to
we do. Yeah, we've come up with something. All right,
we'll try it in the next hour, thank you, sir.
Sounds good, yep, and we will be right back. Since
sant story out of Iowa man with the Des Moines

(01:00:46):
School District superintendent and like all the players involved in
the claims like you know, degrees and experiences and where
he was born and that he was an Olympian, I
saw as oh, just nuts. But first I got to
run a couple of stories by you. And in fact,
let me grab my little pole here. I loaded a

(01:01:10):
poll last night so it could marinate overnight and get
some votes on it. And basically I wanted to know
in your opinion, who were who was the biggest who
were the bigger idiots? The bus idiot or the pond idiot.
Now let me explain both to you. So over the weekend,

(01:01:30):
a tour bus for wrapper ice Cube was in Portland
and UH caught fire and according to authorities, fire rescue
basically had to respond the tour bus the front. It
was in the front passenger area like for the front
passenger tire side is also where the you know, the

(01:01:51):
door would be. That whole underside was on fire and
UH ice Cube himself commented on it, and a couple
of his people saying, well, I'm not taking this sense
it as a personal attack. A coward like that would
burn anybody's property that was out there at the time.
They believe it was intentionally said. We haven't heard from

(01:02:11):
the police yet and we'll get more into the Portland
stuff with the governor's audio coming up. But the theory
that some were wondering about is because on the on
the side of his bus it says ice it says
ice Cube, but it says Ice Ross. Do you think
there's a possibility that protesters thought it was an ice

(01:02:33):
bus because there's a lot of people who think that
might be the case. I mean, they may not know
who ice Cube is. Yep. Do you know you're right
because you know he's sort of our generation. Correct. Yeah,
but that's like he was nwa. Man, he's ten years
older than us. You'd like to think somebody wouldn't be
that dumb, but you like to think, right. So that's
that's idiot number one. Idiot number two is this woman

(01:02:55):
in Massachusetts. Now this happened a couple of weeks ago,
but only now did Dhi us Another's comment on it.
According to Ice officers tempt they were taken into custody
an illegal immigrant when a Karen in her little car
whipped her car down to the parking lot area, which
is by a boat launch, jumped out of the car,

(01:03:17):
filming and screaming at him, but neglected to put her
car in park, so it then traveled down the boat
ramp into the lake and she had to sit there
and watch as her car slowly submerged. I was just
going to follow up real quick, and then we'll get
into the superintendent story. So Ray mentioned that at halftime,
that's when they announced who the Super Bowl person was

(01:03:39):
going to be. Now, I will say there was a
lot of speculation it was going to be Taylor Swift.
So I'm glad to see. Although Ross I just thought
of this. That is Oh, that's the crossover they want.
This is going to be the crossover they want because
the person they actually named as the halftime entertainment for

(01:04:02):
the Super Bowl is a Latin American artist. Though he
is he is probably the biggest male Latin American artist
right now. He's everywhere. His album's everywhere, even on English
speaking stations because he speaks English too, but and he
does a lot of most of his songs are in Spanish,
but his big, big songs, there's a lot of crossover.

(01:04:23):
He was one of the dudes on Desposito, which obviously
was a huge hit. Is A is a artist from
Puerto Rico. His name is Bad Bunny. So I had
a when I saw this news, I had to google
the name right, And I've seen the name out for
a while, like randomly on social media, somebody would drop
the name or something. And this entire time I thought

(01:04:46):
he was like a horror female rapper because the name
not a Puerto Rican I had no idea. So the
name is bad Bunny, and I'm thinking, you know, you
guys say it, it's bad boony. This is America. It's
bun and n why sorry, buddy whatever, So I see
that that's how they use I'm thinking Michael Jackson bad

(01:05:09):
like she's bad, right, and then Bunny like a female slut,
so like sort of like nicky, how did her body
count come in? Because her name is Bunny, she's a
bunny boy bunny, and she's a bad bunny. So that's
what I thought. So Marky sends me this this morning.
We had googled it together at the same time I

(01:05:29):
was here, she was at home, and uh, Marky thought
this entire time because she also had heard of the
name bad Bunny and she thought it was like a
dead mouse, sort of techno DJ guy with a thing
on his head. So neither of us had ever Really,
we don't know who this person is. I don't think
you should have to google. And you're like, oh, you're

(01:05:51):
famous in Central America. I'm sorry, you're famous. Here's here's
the only reason I know, because I'm with you, I
had no idea who it was one of the The
only reason that I know is one obviously that is uh,
you know, I spent a lot of time in in
in Latin America right over the last few years. Two
part of learning Spanish. That has been helpful is music

(01:06:16):
and TV shows or movies. So what like with a
movie I may put it in Spanish and then put
the English subtitles. I found it's very helpful, and so
it has expanded. Here's the deal. If you're if you
are Bad Bunny or you are Carol g you are
essentially gods in the Latin American music scene. I think
it's probably the big This is the United States and

(01:06:38):
it's the NFL, and this a halftime show. I don't care,
I understand care. If you're popular in Bulgaria, the BIS
in Eastern Europe, well I don't care, you know, and
you know it all comes down to now doing these
dumb international games, and they're trying to the audience correct
it's stupid, correct d So let me let me tell
you if Bad Bunny's out there doing Moscow or trying

(01:06:58):
to think of some of his other hits, I mean,
and he's got he's got so frigging many man like,
but just like so so many, uh, I can't do KII.
But here's the thing. Like, but my point is if
you walk a Taylor Swift out there to do a
thing with him, that is an NFL. You know, yeah,

(01:07:22):
I can see that night dream if you catch my dream, right,
So they're just trying to expand that. I'm just saying, listen, yes,
you know, I understand I'm getting older. You know, I'm
a forty year old white male. I understand that. But
that's kind of like the target demo for the NFL,
like that middle aged dude right that tends to be
it thirty forties and before, Like, I understand, I'm getting older.
But you had mentioned somebody and even if I wasn't

(01:07:44):
a fan of it, I had heard of that person
because you know, they're very popular in the and I
guess they're popular here. But I, like, I literally thought
it was a horror female rapper. My wife thought it
was a DJ with a thing on his head on
the turntables. I'm not saying it's a good idea. And
here's why, Like when they when they unstane a few
years ago, like the Weekend. I had heard of the Weekend, right,
you mentioned, you know, if it was somebody like younger

(01:08:05):
that it wasn't into like Justin Bieber, I've heard of
that person, correct, I have no idea. This is no
idea now, you do, I do, yeah, and and and
let's keep in mind he's Puerto Rican, so technically he is.
You know, he has a US US passport, so it's
you know, he's not from well, I'm just after that date.

(01:08:27):
He is kind of but not totally you know, learning
all this learning is not a female slut wrapper or
a DJ with the thing thing on his head, although
he is. He's he's awoke, dude. He posed. He posed
for a picture wearing a dress so that men can
wear dresses. I was gonna say, at least he's not political,
you know. And he canceled his entire sold out world

(01:08:47):
US tour dates because Trump. Oh really, yeah, but he's
gonna come back for this one, right yeah. Principles and
standards and a buttload of money. Well, no, they don't
make any money, but they get the promotion. I don't know,
if you know the super Bowl. The the artists don't
get paid for doing the super Bowl, but they get

(01:09:08):
to they get to greatly expand their exposure. Right, So
somebody like me sitting at home and they're like, who's
this guy? Yeah, I thought he was a slut female rapper.
Oh my god, I thought he was a DJ with
a thing in his head. Yeah he's not. And now
we're gonna google, maybe we'll buy his album or something.
I guess I don't know, or listen to his stuff.
So he gets royalties, Yeah, I don't know, man, But

(01:09:30):
I think the part that's really rich to me is
where he's just like, we can't because his so his
reasoning was, I had to cancel my dates because if
my fans show up, I used to be parked outside
and arrest them all, which I will say, this would
be amazing. I'm sure Ice is given some thoughts to that,
not just him, but any of the Latin artists who

(01:09:52):
who come up, because like Carol Carol G did a
big show at LA where her plane almost crashed or
had some of them urgency thing and like that was
people were And that's when I think a lot of
people figured out who Carol G was who were not
in the Latin American artists because she's like she's on
the female side. She and Bad. But I just told

(01:10:13):
you those are the two biggest artists probably going on
right now. I'm not steeped in Latin American music, but
you know, just dabbling in it, you quickly figure that out.
So AnyWho, Yeah, so yeah, it doesn't do the tour dates.
But I was going to do the Super Bowl, which,
now here's the thing. Ross. This is the thing that

(01:10:34):
I think is going to cause people to lose their
mind because I was reading more into you know, some
of the suggestions that have brought up about what you know. Remember,
I said Goodell had mentioned that he wanted to do
sixteen International Games a year. Basically every team would have
to do one, but arguably then they'd have to do two.
So maybe he met six all six, yeah, or everyone

(01:10:54):
would have to do one. There was and I don't
know a Goodell brought it up, but there were some
people wondering about doing the Super Bowl at like Wembley
or something. Oh that's like prison. People would lose their crap.
Maybe not Wembley, but one of the big ones in

(01:11:16):
London or something, and London would be the most likely.
I mean, I hate the International Games. They shouldn't be
a thing. I feel really bad for the Vikings because
they have like two games in a row in the
moon or whatever. Yeah, so you had to come back
to Earth and actually like play and get your mental
cli in your body, like the jet lag. It's awful.
I can't imagine it's good for the players. Yeah, and
then you know also the part where you're getting mugged

(01:11:37):
on the streets, that's I mean, which could happen in
your own city, I guess. But like now they're not
telling us who the suspect is over there, that's weird.
Who do you think? Who do you think might have
mugged the player that they won't tell us who who
the suspect is? I would probably get where was it?
It was on the streets of Dublin, probably like a
leprechun or something. Really, you think that's the leading theory.

(01:12:00):
That's why they can't release it because they you know,
he's got powers like CON's revenge. Yeah you asked Jennifer Aniston. Yeah,
I forgot about that. So yeah, I would say that
some people have some other theories they don't evolve leprechauns,
but uh, you know that's what they are at this point. Theories. Man,

(01:12:25):
oh oh bad Bunny was in Happy Gilmore too. How
does Ross not know him? That's a very good point.
He was probably in And I was like, I have
no idea who that is. Actually a lot of people
hated his carriage. Oh, by the way, I did watch
it over the weekend and yeah, yeah, I enjoyed it
watch this weekend. Was was he like a lead thing
in the in the movie? No, hang, hang on just
a second? Or was it like a cameo? Because it

(01:12:46):
was it was it was. I would say it's an
extended cameo, and he's been I've seen him pop up
and other in other things. Just because I know what
he looks like. Now I'm able to pick him out
because he was in he was in the Bullet Train
movie with Brad Pitt, which it was okay, but yeah,

(01:13:08):
so he was Oscar. I'm trying to remember his character's
name was here. How does Happy Gilmore still have such
a low rating on IMDb? That has screw all you people?
So he played thing? Why is this thing Oscar may?
I don't know how to pronounce that last name. They're

(01:13:30):
supposed to be in there in Happy Gilmore. I try
to remember they were mad at him because I didn't
really clock it, and then I had forgotten about that.
So but I saw people were very critical of his character.
Let's see. I mean we watched it. I was like,

(01:13:50):
you know, doing prep yeah, over Yeah, so he's one
of the caties. He's he's one of the caddies. Oh okay,
so he's a caddy. Yeah okay, yeah yeah, yeah yeah.
So anyway, I had no idea, like seriously, yeah, so
it was supposed to be like a big cameo. I
guess there people would be like, hey, that's the guy,
and I was like, it's some guide and it's an actor. Yeah,
I guess, I don't know. I don't know. You know

(01:14:11):
who also was in Happy Gilmore too. If you look
at his resume, the former or I guess the now,
I guess he's still the superintendent of Des Moines schools
because apparently he did everything else. So this story is
absolutely nuts. One of the things you got to know
too is the chair of the school board in Des
Moines is the former chief of staff to Michelle Obama.

(01:14:37):
So there's a lot of wokeness, a lot of wokeness
I'm sure up in there. So when they found this
this guy that they Ian Roberts, who is described as
a Guyanian national and was superintendent de Moines's public schools,
I think that they just wanted to get him in
there so quick. Here he is, he is he I

(01:14:59):
believe told he was born in New York, though too
Guyanian parents who had immigrated over here. He had produced
a New York issued Social Security card that looks sussed
now in retrospect. He had a final order of removal
and no work authorization, which was done under the Biden administration,

(01:15:24):
not even Trump. They just got around to arresting him.
They approached Roberts on Friday and his vehicle after identified himself,
but then he drove off. The vehicle was later found
near a wooded area. Iowa State Patrol assistant in the search.
They took him into custody. They found a firearm in
the car. He had a previous firearm incident. He also

(01:15:46):
had three thousand in cash and a fixed blade honey knife,
which I don't know the other two inherently illegal. But
if you're here illegally and you're possessing a firearm, that
is in and of itself a charge. But he also
had this extensive resid just crazy stuff on this resume.
He claimed who went to Georgetown Morgan State University, did

(01:16:09):
work at Harvard. He claimed to have a variety of degrees.
He has a doctorate. They call him a doctor However,
the doctorate is apparently from a university that was that
that's been unaccredited because they were a diploma mill. And
the way that they got caught was they they came

(01:16:30):
in and they you know, they they monitor schools that
are accredited, and they found out that this university was
constantly accepting students who did not have high school diplomas
or GEDs, and they had a bunch of students who
were illiterate that they accepted. I want to repeat that again.
They had a university that was letting people in who

(01:16:52):
were fully illiterate. That's where his doctor was from. And
all of the listings on his resume here all they
have the colleges, but they don't show any of the degrees,
which is really strange. You know, normally, if you're going
to list of college, you put the years you were
there of the degree that you achieved. They hired this dude,

(01:17:17):
And the extra crazy thing is to get hired as
a teacher in Iowa, like in a lot of states,
it's a pretty extensive background check because you're working with kids. Clearly,
they didn't do their due diligence here. It's looking like
and there's a lot of liability here, so that you
know it's all lawyers at this point. But he was
appointed after they met privately the school board. It looks

(01:17:40):
like it's all women too, a bunch of woke women.
He was paid Twitter seventy thousand dollars. He was an
illegal overstay, received the final order of deportation again in
twenty twenty four, so within the Buiding administration. He had
a weapons charge in twenty twenty he claimed He claimed

(01:18:03):
initially that his doctorate was from Saint John's. Saint John's
does not offer a doctorate in that degree. Then it
was found out it was from this other place that
university had just told you. His name escapes me. That
was unaccredited or disaccredited, or however you say that. He
also talked about being a oh let's see here, he

(01:18:27):
almost went pro in some sports, was an olympian, except
there's no record of him being an Olympian. Like all
this stuff, especially in this day and age where it's
so easy to dig stuff up, a lot of this
stuff could have been immediately immediately noticed, and for whatever reason,

(01:18:47):
they either didn't do their due diligence or it was
just so good because here you have you have this guy.
He's black, he's accomplished, he's all of these things, and
they saw exactly what they wanted to see. Man, they
saw exactly what they wanted to see and apparently didn't
check any of his credentials. And they have the community.

(01:19:11):
And when I say the community, I mean some real
hardcore moonbats did hold some protests over the weekend, mad
at Trump over this thing. Yeah, coppin State University's is
that what the other one was? I want to be
very clear so I don't just smirch. Yeah, he was
an Olympian, convenient in track and field. The whole thing

(01:19:32):
is just like, it's just a joke, man, But it's
not a joke because he was literally and maybe it
was a good superintendent. I don't know, but you know,
this isn't exactly the jobs that Americans won't do. I'm
pretty sure there's a bunch of Americans who take two
hundred and seventy thousand a year to be a school superintendent.
Plus the benefits that these guys get is crazy. But

(01:19:54):
there you go, wild weekend. We'll be right back. The
mayor of Oregon is big mad, big mad, because you know,
Trump decided he was gonna he was gonna bring folks
into a National Guard. They're into Portland after they have
been engaged in I would say, not to the level

(01:20:15):
of the Federal courthouse yet, but over at that ice facility,
that is there's new videos every day of them just
go a bonkers man, and they do mix it up.
I mean, an overwhelming amount of noise is clearly a constant.
In fact, there's a low income housing apartment across the
street and the residents there who who are in. The

(01:20:37):
one lady I see in the videos is she's you know,
she's a black woman out She's like, you gotta stop.
We none of us can sleep. You got to stop.
I can't afford to move anywhere, and they basically told
her they don't care. They followed a lawsuit. The judge said, nah,
that's not a thing. The city who's supposed to force
noise ordinate says that the one department is the police
won't do it. They say, you have to go to

(01:20:58):
the city department of the city says the police have to
do it. So they're getting nowhere there and you know
they're obstructing their blocking. It is a nightly occurrence when
they're out there. I saw another one where they did
the thing where a couple of them were just buck
naked sitting there and it's never the ones you want,
it's never, and so you know they're doing all that. Well.

(01:21:22):
That ended literally over the weekend because, believe it or not,
with the backing of National Guard and additional surgeing of
federal law enforcement, they were having none of that. So
the governor held a press conference because she just wants
to tell you everything's fine, there's no problems. Of course,

(01:21:43):
they held a press conference down on the river front
towards the downtown, which is weird. They never turned the
cameras around because having a relative who lives in the
Portland area, she has informed me that downtown is in
many areas has is a ghost town because business is closed. Man,

(01:22:03):
a lot of them never recovered from the combination of
COVID in the summer of peaceful, mostly peaceful protests, and
businesses that go in down there deal with vagrants, limited
foot traffic. People don't want to go into Portland proper.
But the ice facility is a little ways up the road.
So she held a press conference there on the river front.

(01:22:24):
Ross are we sure this is the Oregon governor in
the video by the way, Yeah, so this morning, this morning,
I'm loading the audio this morning and I'm watching the
video and I'm like, of course, that's the governor of Oregon.
Of course, Now why would you say that, mister? Just
imagine your head, you know, if you've never seen the
person but her before, imagine what you think the governor

(01:22:46):
of Oregon would look like. And that's exactly what she
looks like. Exactly that's her. Yeah, there, it is unquestionable.
I don't I don't know how the race went, but
I think she probably could have won. Just just a
still picture of her, right, and they're like, that's that's
the We're voting for her, all right. Here is the
Oregon governor, who again is big men.

Speaker 8 (01:23:08):
You're in the central City at Portland, Oregon, and it
is a beautiful day and we are very happy to
be in here speaking with you today. In my conversations
directly with President Trump and Secretary Noon, I have been
abundantly clear with them that Portland and the state of
Oregon believe in the rule of block and we can

(01:23:31):
manage our own local public safety needs.

Speaker 1 (01:23:34):
Even though you've chosen to they do not do any
enforcement around the ICE facility. I just want I want
to repeat this. They do not do any enforcement. In fact,
they tried to get them to enforce an incident that
took place not with members of ICE, but with one
of the people lived in the apartment building who was
assaulted by one of them. They called and because it

(01:23:55):
was a protester involved in protesting ICE, police didn't even intercede,
which is clearly orders from the top. Remember that same
lunatic who was the mayor of Portland is still the
mayor of Portland, and in Portland, the mayor is also
the chief of police. It's important little context.

Speaker 8 (01:24:15):
There there is no insurrection, there is no threat to
national security, and there is no need for military troops
in our major city. Military service members should be dedicated
to real emergencies. The members of the Oregon National Guard,
their mission is to stand up and protect Oregonians and

(01:24:38):
they will do that every day. But they are not
needed in the city.

Speaker 1 (01:24:41):
They are not needed here. Okay, all right? And in
Unison you had different media outlets, including the New York Times,
who wrote wrote these, well, I mean, we got it,
they gotta do something, but Portland's not the place the guy,
I kids you not. I'm gonna summarize the New York

(01:25:02):
Times piece. You ready, There's no way that Portland could be,
you know, that bad because they have really good pino noir.
You know, that's that's really what the article was. He said,
there's no way that Oregon, no place as bad as
Trump is describing, could serve such good pino noir, you know,

(01:25:24):
as though they're in the Willamette Valley there, or Russia
is at Russian River. Well, well, I try to remember
my wines. I don't drink a ton of it. Yeah, yeah,
you realize that they the vineyards are not in downtown Oregon, right,
They just bring bottles in and then if they don't
get smashed, I guess they can serve it. And yeah,

(01:25:45):
they got good wines up there. But what the what
the hell does any of that have to do with
it New York Times, because again we see the videos,
you you know what's going on, and it's not just there,
I mean clearly you're it in Chicago or south of
Chicago where at that ice facility and various others stuff.

(01:26:06):
In La they just indicted three women because they were
following ice agents home and doxing them. Good. I'm good
with that. And they weren't playing over the weekend. They
went right in there and it clearly had an impact. Man.
I think they made what eleven arrests or something, because

(01:26:29):
the stuff you were seeing on the video was clearly criminal.
You're obstructing law enforcement officers from doing their job. That
is a criminal offense. It may not be a heavy one,
but it is one. And that's not counting the vandalism,
the theft, and the various other things that have been
going on around there. And again, a lot of these

(01:26:50):
a lot of people who are getting into these scrums
are not necessarily even ice agents. There's the citizen. There's
citizens of Portland who just wants peace and quiet or
want to be able to walk through the area from
point A to point B, and they're getting checkpointed by
these Antifa idiots. There was a there was an older

(01:27:12):
lady in in a mobile scoot. She was in a mobile,
one of those mobile rascal things, and they checkpointed this
this old woman, so she couldn't get from one place
to the other. Just I mean, you know, like she's
an undercover eighty eighty year old in a rascal undercover
ice agent or something. I'm sorry, man, you got id.

(01:27:35):
Then they're to try to id anyone who's walking through
there on a public street. Kiss my. You know what.
But the old lady thing was crazy. She gonna throw
the blanket off or rip off the mission impossible mask,
and it's it's a cop of cop. You caught me.
So if you're not going to police it, and the

(01:27:57):
local citizenry has no recourse and there is a nightly
thing where federal officers are being obstructed and or assaulted,
I don't know. I heard that insurrection used in a
much less violent way as to describe people who were
literally walked into a into a capitol building, So I

(01:28:18):
don't want to hear. I feel like this is what
we saw where you're trying to change the definition of
recession again, and so I'm fine with it. I also
think it's very funny as somebody who's not I'm not
originally a Southern nerd, but somebody who has a basic,
I would say more than basic understanding of history to

(01:28:40):
watch northern cities freak out over federal troops coming in
for things, because, like, I don't know, if you heard
what happened in Atlanta and various Harriet Ross. You ever
hear what may have happened in Atlanta in the South
with federal troops at one point a guy named Sherman,
So like, you know, when things are wrong, this is

(01:29:04):
why these things happen, and what's happening in organ is wrong.
What's happening around these ice facilities is not standard protests.
You'd stand out with your signs. You can do all
of that stuff you didn't express your dismay. You can
give to organizations or to politicians you think may change
the laws and the direction of things. But for now,

(01:29:27):
what you're seeing is laws that are on the books
being enforced, and now they just ramped it up where
they're actually going to get enforced. I think there's a
lot of people in Portland, even who probably vote very
blue but live in the vicinity of this, who are
probably they're not going to encourage it because they don't
want to get ostracized, but you know, in private conversations

(01:29:50):
with their spouse are like, oh, thank goodness, I bet
there's a lot more than you think. Eight forty five
race sdagic here to think about hurricanes fighting each other
as up then, I don't know they are. Oh, and
then you had like equinox stuff too, right we did?

Speaker 7 (01:30:05):
Oh yeah, first day of fall? Was it Friday? No,
it might have been a weekend. I can't keep track.

Speaker 1 (01:30:13):
I think it might have been fro. I don't know.

Speaker 7 (01:30:15):
Yeah, you're supposed to either way this, you know, I
kind of know it like the date it happens. And
then quickly and you'll see when you get my age.
Quickly you'll see already Yeah, we're gonna pull that one. Uh,
you'll see.

Speaker 1 (01:30:28):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (01:30:30):
So meld up to a fifty mile per hour tropical
storm now east of Miami, the center well east, producing
some heavy rain, dusty winds. Looks like it's trying to
get a little better organized and a little bit stronger.

Speaker 1 (01:30:42):
Now.

Speaker 7 (01:30:42):
The ray we're seeing right now cross the air, which
is steady and even moderate. The heavy rain at times here, uh,
pushing on through the triangle as we speak, heading toward
the triad, already raining in Greensboro and inter Almance Counties,
also at Randolph County and Chatham County. You know, it's
not really associated directly with a Melda, but there's a

(01:31:04):
front off the coast, and with that front there, we're
getting the flow coming in and the wind flow and
uplift and all that kind of stuff, so it's kind
of indirectly influencing our weather. The rain will stick around, showers,
bed and thunderstorms the next couple of days, and then
by midweek we're actually gonna have some real good weather
around here with sunshine and some cooler temperatures. So no

(01:31:24):
big impacts today. Out near the coast, there may be
but areas of showers and seeing some heavy showers at times,
and maybe even a rumble of thunder. I think that
threat continues here as we go through today, tonight, even tomorrow,
but you shouldn't see any big flood threat. May see
some ponding of the water and roadways, but that's about it.
Hopefully we won't get too significant of a flood risk here,

(01:31:45):
and then by midweek we're going to be absolutely beautiful.
A low to mid seventies by Wednesday, and then a
little cool off upper sixties low seventies later in the week. Case,
so little wet weather to deal with. We'll get through.
It could have been worse. Luckily, we're getting best case
scenario here, as it looks like the center certainly stays
well offshore, but we're kind of seeing this rain. That's

(01:32:05):
as I had said. Either way, it all looks connected
on a radar or satellite picture, so kind of indirectly
connected with that tropical storm.

Speaker 1 (01:32:11):
All right, hurry up with the dry weather. Ross has
construction he needs to do.

Speaker 7 (01:32:15):
So Oh okay, well Wednesday, raws. I'm sorry if that's
not quick enough.

Speaker 1 (01:32:19):
I got to fix this and we'll talk tomorrow, sir.
Have a good one and be right back with Jeff Bellinger.
Good morning, Casey.

Speaker 9 (01:32:25):
It will be the biggest leveraged buy out on record.
The video game publisher Electronic Arts has agreed to sell
to a group of private investors in a cash deal
that values the company at fifty five billion dollars. The
consortium includes silver Lake Management, Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund,
and Jared Kushnitz Kushner's Affinity Partners. No stock records were

(01:32:49):
set on Friday, but Wall Street did end last week
with a positive session and the futures are higher across
the board. This morning, we have the Dow futures up
two hundred two points. Contract top will resume today between
representatives of Boeing and the union that represents machinists and
the company's military aircraft division. Thirty four hundred Boeing workers

(01:33:10):
have been on strike since early August, affecting three Midwest
plants that produce fighter jets and weapons. There's been an
increase in the number of electric vehicles on American roads
after a surge in.

Speaker 1 (01:33:21):
Sales of used evs.

Speaker 9 (01:33:23):
The market for second hand electric vehicles was hot in
the first half of the year, with sales up thirty
four percent from the first six months of twenty twenty four.
And the job market is in a difficult phase now.
Economists describe it as low higher low fire. The unemployment
rate is relatively low, but people who find themselves out
of work are struggling. And it's not just recent college graduates,

(01:33:47):
mid career employees taking part time jobs because hiring in
so many industries is virtually stalled. A lot of people
feel stuck in jobs they don't want or they are underemployed.
And the casey the lab We're department a schedule to
release a new look at the job market on Friday.
If that's a big gift right now, there's not a
government shutdown if we get the report, Economists say it

(01:34:10):
will likely show that payroll growth remained anemic this month.

Speaker 1 (01:34:13):
Casey, All right, Jeff, thank you sir. We'll chat tomorrow. Okay, okay,
sounds good. Have a good day you too. There you go.
Jeff Bellinger from Bloomberg News. There a couple of little
quick things here. Well, let me make sure I have
a caller holding all right? Good um oh oh dude,
I saw this. I touched this to ross over the weekend.
This might be dangerous for you, buddy. So you guys

(01:34:37):
know who Anchor Bar is. I'm sure some of you do,
because there's a lot of New York transplants down here.
So Anchor Bar, which was a bar, a very famous
bar in Buffalo, New York, is thought to be, is
it debatable? The home of the excuse me, Buffalo Wing.
They invented the Buffalo Wing. They are opening a location

(01:34:57):
in Raleigh, and it's it's gonna be do you do
you drive past? Do you drive Falls and News past
Falls Village? Right, it's right across from north Ridge Country Club.
That's where this is. Uh it used to yeah, I
kind of go around it now okay, all right, well
that's where're gonna put this. But yeah, I guess. Apparently
there's so many New Yorkers here now they're going to

(01:35:17):
open a location of a Buffalo bar Raleigh. Man, I'm
assuming you'll try you have you ever tried Anchor bar? No,
but I've always wanted to, Okay, So yeah, super excited
about that. Yeah, so that's fun thing. I got that.
And apparently people are mad at Mister Beasts for whatever's
latest video is. It's It's a vibe. So in the video,

(01:35:43):
mister Beest has a guy tied up in a house
that's burning and there's five hundred thousand in there, and
then the guy has to figure out if he's willing
to die for the five hundred thousand so to rescue
as much money as possible for the house burns down.
So he's just like evolving into Jigsaw from the Saw movies.
Like he's gonna be like crazy. I saw people comment
and they're like, he's either gonna do his own squid

(01:36:04):
games or his own purge. Yeah, there's five million dollars
in the safe and if you want it, there's a
key behind your eyeball. Right, hey man, five million dollars,
five million dollars, you know what I'm saying,
