Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Gonna go ahead and do this thing, all right, roster.
Are we happy with the levels as we get things
going this morning?

Speaker 2 (00:04):
I guess it's usable. Yeah, you went up or down?
You just tell me it's fine, okay, all right.

Speaker 1 (00:11):
Are we happy with the performance of a certain football
team from the Buffalo area yesterday?

Speaker 2 (00:17):
Yes?

Speaker 1 (00:18):
Okay, good? That was top five game I think I've
ever seen.

Speaker 2 (00:22):
Man, I'm gonna stay humble.

Speaker 3 (00:25):
I know, no, no, no, it's fine, I understand.

Speaker 2 (00:28):
But how many games from Josh Allen have you seen
in the past where after the game people are like,
that's the best game I've ever seen. That happens a lot.

Speaker 4 (00:37):
Now.

Speaker 3 (00:38):
I know you guys didn't win this one, and I'm
not saying that. I'm not.

Speaker 1 (00:40):
I don't mean to rub it in, but that game
you and I played well, that you and I clearly,
but like a couple of years ago was It's I
just want to be entertained.

Speaker 2 (00:49):
Mayah know I'm saying, to win or loss. How many
Josh Allen games do you watch and you're like, that
was the best game I've ever seen. I've heard that
so many times. And that Chiefs game a few years
ago too. Yeah, yeah, and you guys only had to
come back from what twenty two? Yeah, he scored what
twenty two in the fourth quarter? Good lord, And I
would point this out ross.

Speaker 1 (01:09):
Do you happen to know the over under on the
number of other fans that Josh Allen has assaulted?

Speaker 2 (01:16):
I know believe that would be zero? Right?

Speaker 5 (01:18):
Zero?

Speaker 2 (01:18):
Ok?

Speaker 1 (01:19):
All right, Look here's the deal. I almost I'm not
even mad at Lamar Jackson. Just don't take that the
wrong way. The Bills fan did aggressively kind of shove
the head of one of the Bills players or one
of the Ravens players. And these guys are you know
there are one hundred million dollar athletes.

Speaker 2 (01:37):
You can't do that.

Speaker 1 (01:38):
It's one thing to tap the helmet, it's another thing
to kind of pitch the head. And so I don't
do that. That being said, just you know, the whole
thing was just crazy.

Speaker 2 (01:52):
Fourth quarter Josh Allen sixteen for twenty one, two hundred
and fifty yards, three touchdowns.

Speaker 1 (01:58):
I don't there's quarterbacks won this week who don't have
those stats for the whole.

Speaker 2 (02:02):
Game total yards total, get four hundred and fourteen yards total,
four touchdowns total.

Speaker 3 (02:08):
I think that's good.

Speaker 1 (02:09):
I'm not you know I'm not a I'm not an
NFL insider, but yeah, so third quarter Sunday Nights matchup,
a one handed touchdown by DeAndre Hopkins.

Speaker 3 (02:20):
He and Baltimore player. They ran out the back of
the end zone.

Speaker 1 (02:24):
Now, now, clearly when you're running to the back of
the end zone where the opposing team is or their
fan base is, because you're you know you're there, they
are gonna take you know, they're not gonna be happy
about it, but it's part of football. And then you
see this fan reach out and kind of caught the
guy in the red shirt kind of cocks Hopkins head

(02:45):
to the side. It clearly viewed not as congratulatory though
it wasn't that aggressive. And then Jackson give this dude
a shove. And I don't know if you know this,
Labar Jackson is a pro athlete. So it comes down
to kind of like yeah, Bill birthing right where it's
just like you better hope these guys don't come up

(03:05):
in the stands. So I I'm pissed because now we
have to do better.

Speaker 2 (03:12):
Than that man tonight, Yeah against the Bears. Come on, Well,
I went last night. I was in as stressed as
I normally would be because the Chiefs lost, the Pats lost.
Oh yeah, we'll get into that. The Pats lost, the
Jets lost, the Dolphins loss, so they're all on one.
So like, if you lose the game, you know you're

(03:33):
still here on the equal level, really there, except against
the Ravens. So I went to bed. It was I
think it was thirty maybe like thirty four to nineteen.
I went to be dead dat four nineteen because I
had to get up pretty early for this. Yeah and out,
I said to myself with all confidence, I said, Bills
are going to win this game by three. And I
went to bed, Well, you were wrong. Yeah, though I

(03:54):
woke up at three point thirty, checked my phone. I said,
just left. That's amazing. I'll tell you this is.

Speaker 1 (04:01):
This is how I know it was a good game.
So the thing gets over and I've got nobody to
text because I'm not going to text you at that
time of night, obviously, and I just said I couldn't
fall asleep for like an hour after that thing, man,
I was like, oh that was good.

Speaker 2 (04:15):
And I was looking at some of the.

Speaker 1 (04:16):
Different clips and kind of studying the uh the thing there,
the green adult toy bandit struck earlier in one of
the other games. So we're just doing that every week.

Speaker 2 (04:25):
So I checked that.

Speaker 3 (04:25):
Out and I was just, uh was busy.

Speaker 2 (04:29):
I was.

Speaker 1 (04:29):
I was entertained, no question. Now, you just got to
keep that up all year. I mean, I arguably Ravens
and I don't I'm not trying to put a good
the Ravens. After watching the Chiefs get undone, Ravens might
be the best team you face all year.

Speaker 5 (04:46):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (04:47):
I mean, I mean you got Lamar Jackson, who's amazing,
and then you have Henry who is fantastic.

Speaker 1 (04:52):
So and Hopkins d hop Man come on, yeah, and
and Henry for a little while in the second court.
Because first your at first your defense looked like they
were holding your own. I didn't realize your entire secondary
is six round drafts are higher.

Speaker 3 (05:11):
I want to point that out.

Speaker 2 (05:12):
It's been an issue. And I got something, like I
said going into the game, there are a lot of injuries. Yeah,
injuries happened a preseason, which isn't optimal.

Speaker 1 (05:20):
No, we're preferred, No, it's not. But then Henry just
started kind of running wherever he wanted. I'm like, oh no,
and you guys made adjustments, and the adjustments were we'll
score a billion more points.

Speaker 2 (05:33):
I guess which works right as long as it's I
think the adjustment was Josh Allen saying, you know what,
I'm gonna do whatever the hell I want this fourth quarter. Yeah, yeah,
I'm gonna do what I do.

Speaker 1 (05:45):
Well he did, he done, did it so all right?
So uh yeah, that was amazing. A lot of pressure
on the Vikings Bears.

Speaker 2 (05:53):
I guess tonight. Good luck with that.

Speaker 3 (05:55):
I mean, I mean the grand scheme of things.

Speaker 1 (05:57):
I'd rather just like twenty one oh the Bears and
every nobody gets hurt and then off we go.

Speaker 2 (06:01):
Here's a crazy stat. Yeah, most rushing touchdowns in franchise
history accomplished last night. Josh Allen. Okay, eight team history
is the most rushing touchdowns, right, Not Thrman Thomas. J Simpson,
Not Thurman Thomas.

Speaker 3 (06:21):
I'm trying to think you also could possibly be.

Speaker 2 (06:23):
No, would have to Here's a stat that happened going
into the game. So you know, in their first eight seasons,
all right, in the NFL history, in the first eight seasons,
Josh Allen entered the season having more touchdowns than any
quarterback in history in the first eight seasons. Now the
catch here is this is his eighth season. Oh my, okay,

(06:46):
in seven seasons, he has more touchdowns than every other
quarterback to ever play in their first eight seasons, but.

Speaker 3 (06:52):
Not the first in seven seasons, I'm confused.

Speaker 2 (06:55):
In seven seasons, Josh Allen has more touchdowns than any
place in the history of the NFL in total of
eight seasons.

Speaker 3 (07:04):
I understand that that's what.

Speaker 2 (07:08):
That's good? Right, It doesn't even make sense.

Speaker 1 (07:12):
So if he adds like one or two more this year,
that'll be helpful, right, it would be probably should do that,
oh man, just.

Speaker 2 (07:19):
Keep him healthy, man? Yeah.

Speaker 1 (07:22):
Yeah, And it comes down to other other teams probably
have that thought through it going through their head too,
what if he wasn't healthy?

Speaker 2 (07:29):
So that's your nightmare, fuel. I will say this.

Speaker 1 (07:32):
I also did not appreciate seeing the Packers play and
and make Detroit look like the Detroit of ten years ago.
I do not welcome that. And it's not like Parsons
really went although he did have a sack, so I
don't know. I think maybe there's done a sugar high
because they've got a big name. But we'll go ahead

(07:52):
and see there. Yeah, So it was it was a
crazy week and the week's not even over.

Speaker 2 (07:56):
So oh man, how are you feeling about tonight's game?

Speaker 1 (08:02):
Ah, it's I mean I feel if it was if
we're playing the Packers, I would have been a basket case,
you know, because you don't know, you already know that
you're getting a good team. A lot of people have
picked them to win the division, which you know kind
of irritates me. But we have a rookie quarterbacks. I'll
take what you know, a rookie but second year or whatever,

(08:23):
but basically his first you know he's going to be starting.

Speaker 3 (08:26):
And against the Bears.

Speaker 1 (08:30):
No disrespect, okay, kind of disrespect we're playing the Bears, man,
But also then it would be really embarrassing if we
lost to the Bears.

Speaker 2 (08:38):
So I don't know.

Speaker 1 (08:42):
I know I'll probably be a little draggy tomorrow, but
that's just going to how it's going to be. And
I mean, I could talk about the Panthers, but you
guys probably don't want me to. So that is what
it is. No shame, it is what it is. I
know it's frustrating. So uh all right, well I will
tell you who did when the High Point Rockers, So

(09:04):
they beat the crap out of Long Island Ducks. Because yes,
how that that was good man nice. We had nice
little sweet was all catered. We had some listeners showed
up and I was I was a little nervous because
the weather was a little edgy, right because it's been
raining and all that stuff, and it was it was
a little chillier but not bad.

Speaker 2 (09:27):
Let's see here.

Speaker 1 (09:29):
So I I just realized I didn't ask if I
could use their name. We had a great father son
showed up, dude, so day listie listen Burlington and we
were talking about he he he. He brought some he
brought some gifts for you and I. So I have
those with me. So we got we got challenge coins.

(09:54):
Yeah yeah yeah, but so he's got one from his
Marine division during uh gul uh Persian Gulf and desert storm.
So that's cool and well anyway, there's a couple there.
It's just remind me when I get back to the
Raleigh studio on Thursday to get you those.

Speaker 3 (10:11):
I love talking. Did you ever Ross?

Speaker 1 (10:13):
Do you know why marines during desert storm and are
an interesting conversation? Do you do you know what what
what the the fun fact is about? Marines and desert storm.
It's one of my favorite military fun facts.

Speaker 2 (10:25):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (10:26):
So the Iraqi, among the Iraqi military, remember when they
were all surrendering, right, they rendered to like eight thousand
of them to CNN, right, just wanted nothing to do
with it. The the Iraqi soldiers didn't want to They
didn't want to surrender to marines. They wanted nothing to
do with marines because for some reason, the rumor, and

(10:50):
it was a widespread rumor among the Iraqi soldiers is
that marines to become marines as part of their certification,
they had to kill a member of their own family
to become marines. Where did that come from? I don't
make Probably two drunk marines where some Iraqi spies listening

(11:10):
to him at an off base bar, just talking. I
don't know, I don't that's great, man. So they see
they see us marines and they're like, you don't have
to kill a member of their family to become a marine.

Speaker 2 (11:21):
I asked, like more brutal than like Spartan stuff. That's crazy.

Speaker 1 (11:24):
Yeah, So do you want anything to do with some
guy you thought had to kill his family member to
be there?

Speaker 2 (11:29):
You're a marine, you have to kick one of your
parents into the pit.

Speaker 1 (11:33):
Yes, and if her leg doesn't go high enough, it
doesn't count. And then you gotta line the other pairent
up and you get a second try, but you know,
two tries and that's it. Yeah, there's some fun little
military fact one of my favorite, although it's not a
US military factoid.

Speaker 3 (11:51):
I don't know so russ uh.

Speaker 1 (11:53):
This is when the British were still running India and
I can't remember if it was World War two or
if it was Indo Chin, I know, but whatever. So
they had this division and the name escapes me, but
it was basically the Indian military's version of Navy seals, okay,
and it was like there's like two hundred and three
hundred of these dudes, and the British commanders wanted to

(12:16):
convert a certain amount of them to airborne since they
were doing that now, because they're like, these guys are
the elite of the elite of the elite. They don't
fear death, they you know, they they're basically the Ninjas
of the Indian military. And it would really be great
if we could convert I don't know half of these
guys to airborne so that they can also jump into

(12:39):
places and murder everybody. So the British commander talks to
the Indian commander and says, will you go, will you
go see who will volunteer, and then we'll we'll train
these guys airborne. So they go and they ask any
of these guys, hey, do you want to be airborne?
And only five of them volunteer. And the British commanders like,

(13:01):
what the heck is wrong?

Speaker 3 (13:02):
Man?

Speaker 1 (13:02):
These are I thought these guys are supposed to be badasses.
You're telling me only five of them were willing to,
you know, jump out of a plane.

Speaker 3 (13:10):
Go back and figure out that we need more than this.
This is the problem.

Speaker 1 (13:13):
So the Indian commander goes back, talks to the guys,
comes back to the British commander and said, and this said,
they didn't realize they would get parachutes. Make those five generals.

(13:34):
Take those five generals. Now, five people are like, yeah,
jump out of the plane.

Speaker 2 (13:42):
That's fine. Yeah, then we get parachutes too, it's great.

Speaker 1 (13:48):
Yeah, that's amazing. Five of them said, yeah, sided me up, coach,
put me in.

Speaker 3 (13:55):
So there you go.

Speaker 2 (13:56):
Ponder that straight up, Captain America jumping out of the
plane with just a ship.

Speaker 1 (14:00):
Yes, yes, that'll be fine about just tug your knees
and roll boys, let's go all right? Six twenty one.
Hang on, kind of sports but not sports. Oh wait,
hold on, somebody's complaining all of that is Boston Paul
could put why are you yelling? If it sounds like
I'm yelling, it's because this microphone sounds so different that

(14:20):
I subconsciously think that I have to. But also maybe
I'm just really excited because there's some good sports. I
mean not the Patriots game, obviously, but there was some
good sports on over the weekend.

Speaker 2 (14:31):
So that entertained me.

Speaker 1 (14:33):
It's gonna be you gotta stop and try to process,
just for a moment, what it is all of the
possibilities that are out there. So there was a moment
at a Philadelphia Phillies game. I described it there, I
think pretty accurately. In fact, we got some audio home

(14:54):
run balls hit scramble of the fans. You've seen it
a thousand times, and and you know this dad comes
up with the ball. There's a woman with like little
butchy kind of gray haircut and glasses. She's sitting in
the row kind of behind where the ball was hit.
She's scrambling for it too. Dad emerges with the ball

(15:15):
immediately kind of turns back over to his son hands,
puts it in his son's glove, probably thinking he just
completed the Dad trifecta for the day.

Speaker 2 (15:24):
Right took the kid to the game.

Speaker 1 (15:25):
They got a home run ball, they got probably got
some nachos or whatever.

Speaker 3 (15:29):
There you go, right day at the ballpark. What's the
worst that could happen?

Speaker 2 (15:34):
We cracked off the bat.

Speaker 6 (15:35):
It was starting to head our way a little bit,
so I walked to my right, walked to my right, walked.

Speaker 5 (15:40):
To my ear, and I thought, oh crap, it's coming.

Speaker 6 (15:44):
And I walked down a couple of seats and it
fell and kind of bubbled between the two armrests, and
I picked it up, and as I was pulling away,
got two other hands came, and I mean, I didn't
didn't really care at that point. I just walked away
and held the ball up high and put it in
Lincoln's glove and was hoping he'd be on the you know,

(16:05):
the Megatron TV or whatever, and and and then she
showed up.

Speaker 1 (16:11):
Yeah, first of all, it's a Jumbo Tron, sir. If
it's a Megatron TV. You have bigger problems, I guess
would be by take there all right, So up to
that point, pretty normal or one kind of grabbing for it.

Speaker 3 (16:23):
Everyone goes their separate ways.

Speaker 1 (16:25):
Kids got the ball, but it was the piece was
not to be uh well, not to be enjoyed for long.

Speaker 6 (16:32):
And as she reached from my arms, she just yelled
in my ear, that's my ball, like super loud. I
jumped out of my skin and I was like, you know,
like why are you here, you know.

Speaker 2 (16:44):
Go away?

Speaker 6 (16:45):
And then she's like, that's my ball. You stole it
out out of those are from our seats. I said
that there was nobody in that seat, you know. She
said that's from where we were sitting.

Speaker 2 (16:56):
And she just went on and on. I don't remember
what she said.

Speaker 6 (17:01):
It was, you know, a lot a lot of eyes
on us by that time, and the ball was already
in his glove and she just wouldn't stop. And I
mean I'm literally leaning back as she's in my face
yelling and yelling and yelling, and I pretty much just
wanted her to go away. And because I had a
fork in the road, either you know, do something I

(17:22):
was probably gonna regret or or or be Dad and
show him how to de escalate a situation.

Speaker 2 (17:29):
So that's where I went, No, you didn't.

Speaker 1 (17:32):
You did not show him how to de escalate the situation.
You showed him how to give up. Okay, here's the
unpopular opinion. Dad's a coward and his son just saw
Dad act like a coward and that is a that
is a lesson that will stick with him.

Speaker 3 (17:48):
And you can't change my mind. And everyone got mad
at me over that.

Speaker 2 (17:51):
Said.

Speaker 1 (17:51):
No, you know, Dad's in a no win situation because
you know the same way he put it there. What's
he gonna do? Go hands on with this woman? And
here's what I want to explain to you. There is
an absolute grand canyon of options between cowardly handling, handing
over the ball because some bully came over and decided
they wanted the ball, and hitting them with a Mortal

(18:16):
Kombat finishing move. Okay, right, there's so much in between.
Here's how you handle it.

Speaker 2 (18:23):
Okay.

Speaker 1 (18:24):
One, if Dad was really that scared of her, why
on God's green earth did he allow his boy to
be between her and him while a lot of this
is going on.

Speaker 3 (18:33):
You move the kid off to the side.

Speaker 1 (18:35):
Secondly, and you don't have to match her volume, but
you look her dead in the eye and you tell her, no,
you're not getting this. And if you have a problem
with that, then you can go go talk to one
of the security people and we'll figure it out. But no,
that's it, that's all you have to do.

Speaker 2 (18:55):
Yeah, that was my opinion on this as well. But
first off, I was kind of confused as to because
of ever been to a major League park and I
can't remember the last time actually went to a baseball game,
and I was confused as to the etiquette of it
because if I were to go to a game, first off,
I wouldn't be a person that would go after the
ball if it was hit, right, I'd be like, it's
a baseball right here, right, But when I saw the story,

(19:16):
I was confused as to the etiquette because that being said,
if the ball was hit, I wouldn't run into somebody
other section and try to get the ball. But I
didn't know if that was like normal, like that's etiquette, right,
So you're allowed to leave your section and go get
the ball, and if you get it first, it's your ball.
That's that's well.

Speaker 1 (19:33):
So yes, and I don't even know that he technically
left his section he ran into like her her seats,
but I didn't know if that was allowed, so he yeah,
so he what he did is he he did cross
the aisle, but it was there was nobody in those
seats where the ball actually hit. So the etiquette is
as long. I mean, clearly, he can't knock people down,

(19:54):
although sometimes it gets a little rough. No, the deal
is people can move. And because the stadium literally issued
a statement on this, or the Phillies did out of
one of them, and they basically said, everyone is welcome
to go for it, you know, within reason, and whoever
emerges with the ball and has possession, at the point
of possession, it becomes their ball and then that's it.

Speaker 2 (20:16):
Try again that right, right, So I researched it and
I found out what you just said, like that tends
to be what you do. And I'm like, all right,
And I just honestly didn't know what the etiquette was
because I haven't been in that situation. Therefore, I was
maybe that is considered rude to go into somebody else's
section and get the ball. Maybe, like if it's hit
to that section, you know, it's it's all at you know,
those people in that section have the right to go
for the ball, but that's not what it is. You

(20:36):
can just go in the section and get it. He
got it. She she's wrong for being a Karen and
going over there because it's you're an adult, Why do
you need the ball? It's not even like it's some
ball of significance.

Speaker 1 (20:48):
She's a Philly dirtback. She's a Philly dirtback. I got
all sorts of friends are Philly dirtbags. She's the reason
we call them that.

Speaker 2 (20:55):
But it's not even like a significant ball. It's not
like Judge or Otani hit like there are one billion
poem run right. It's just a home run ball, which
is cool, but it's not like it's signed or anything.
It doesn't have that kind of valet intrinsic value. So
I don't understand. So she's wrong for leaving her section
and being a Karen. But maybe she was confused as
to the etiquette and she was like, that's not right,

(21:16):
you can't come over here. But she's wrong because that
etiquette doesn't exist. So she's wrong for going over it.
But he's wrong for giving her the ball back and
being a coward. Correct you had to do is say no,
sit your son down, sit yourself down, stare forward and
watch the game. And if she is going to be
a jackass and keeps yelling at you on the jumbo tron,

(21:37):
security eventually is going to come down and remove her.
Or you look over at the security people and you say, hey,
can you can you get rid of it? And they'll
get rid of her, right yeah, just be firm.

Speaker 1 (21:47):
You don't you don't have to, you don't have to
scream at her, just be but you the way you
did in front of his kid is showed him that
that's how you deal with bullies.

Speaker 3 (21:55):
You give him whatever you want. And it's irresponsible.

Speaker 1 (21:58):
And if he thought, look because people are like, well
he was, you know, she was trying to avoid a
physical altercation. Two things. One, he has high ground. This
is really important and this is why this is something
that frankly, I have some deeper concerns about this guy's
ability to really protect his family in a scrum because
his situational awareness is crap. Do you understand ross you've

(22:23):
stood in bleachers right or the little full down seats,
even if you haven't been in a major league ballpark, right? Yeah,
your balance is not great there. And if this guy
has elevated, you know, two feet above her and she
tries to start something, You've seen enough meles among fans,
drunk fans. It never really goes well for whoever's out
at the bottom. But he's trying to avoid that. And

(22:45):
the other thing is he's inside a major league sporting venue.
It's not like she's got a gun or a chainsaw
right that she's gonna pull on you. Can you imagine,
like what you don't have to worry about that nobody's
pulling a chainsaw on you because the security is too

(23:05):
So now you're evaluating this woman who you have high
ground on, who you're feasibly bigger than, and you're telling
me that you jumped out of your skin when she
touched you, and then you showed your son how to
just give the bully whatever they want.

Speaker 3 (23:18):
I'm sorry that was That's an.

Speaker 1 (23:20):
Embarrassing moment there, and everyone going, well, you never know
what you do in that situation.

Speaker 3 (23:26):
I don't know, I don't know.

Speaker 2 (23:28):
I kind of do marketing.

Speaker 5 (23:30):
You know.

Speaker 2 (23:30):
We saw the story and we were talking about it.
We both came to our same conclusion. We both said,
they're both awful people.

Speaker 3 (23:37):
Yeah, yeah, but I just feel bad for the kid man.

Speaker 1 (23:41):
Although the kid did score some swag, but still he
had the lesson that he now takes with him that
dad's a coward.

Speaker 2 (23:47):
I got an autographed bat too, But at some point
I guess he even told her like, hey, it's my
boy's birthday. It's that point as an adult, aren't you, like,
who cares? It's a ball? This is the equivalent to
you know, this woman caring so much about this stupid baseball.
If you're an adult and you're like that concerned that
you need to go harass a man to put your
finger in his face and take a ball away from
the kid during his birthday, you're the equivalent of these

(24:09):
adults that are so invested in like Taylor Swift's wedding, Like,
what are you doing? What kind of adult?

Speaker 1 (24:14):
Yes of yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, you're the people
who I have you seen this series of videos now
where they have the Pokemon vending machines and some guy
takes too long when they just load the new Pokemon
cards in there, and it's all like grown adults like
and I think they're probably collectors or whatever who will
get into fights over Pokemon cards.

Speaker 3 (24:36):
If you're thirty and you're.

Speaker 1 (24:37):
Willing to fight another mom's basement virgin over line position
at a Pokemon vending machine, reevaluate the entirety of your life.

Speaker 2 (24:50):
That's what. If I'm at a baseball game right now,
which wouldn't happen really because I'm an introvert and I
don't like going out in public and you know all
that kind of stuff. Yeah, if I'm actually at the game,
and I've I got my pregnant wife, right, new baby
coming in November, round Thanksgiving everything, Yeah, great, by the way,
And then I'm also another part of my mind is
dealing with my special needs child, my artistic son, right,

(25:10):
And then another part of my brain is focused on work.
And then another part of my brain is focused on
the construction and the addition we're building to our home. Yea,
if I'm at this baseball game, do you think I
give a crap about a baseball hit into the stands?

Speaker 1 (25:22):
No, you don't, But I'll bet you give a crap
if somebody starts shoving fingers in your family's face.

Speaker 2 (25:27):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (25:28):
Yeah, I think your wife could deal with it too
from what I've seen.

Speaker 2 (25:32):
So yeah, if that ball is hit. Yeah, if that
ball is hit into the stands, I'm like, hey, look
there's a baseball. I don't care. I've got other things, actually,
real problems to deal with. Man.

Speaker 1 (25:41):
Yeah, oh, somebody's somebody said lie to the vendue machet
and I need my Pokemon cards.

Speaker 2 (25:47):
She's probably need a baseball. She was probably pointing her
finger in her in the guy's facing on, give me
the ball back.

Speaker 7 (25:52):
And did you know Taylor Swift is dating Travis.

Speaker 2 (25:56):
Kelsey, you know, the wedding guy. Like, she's probably bold.

Speaker 1 (26:00):
I didn't get the vibe she's into Taylor Swift.

Speaker 2 (26:04):
In that way. Yeah, it's the same vibe. It's like
the same like you were an adult to stop it. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (26:09):
So anyway, eight eight eight nine three four seven eight
seven four. That's the phone number. Eight eight eight nine
three four seven eight seven four. Go ahead, you tell
me I'm wrong. I'm not, but you can tell me
I am. Although I will say this, they thought they
had identified Oh that's the other that's the other point
on this.

Speaker 2 (26:26):
I just want to make.

Speaker 1 (26:27):
We all just saw what happened with the US open
hat snatcher, right, bad news was everywhere. This guy basically
is that you know, the asphalt King of Warsaw or
whatever comes over steals that kid's hat, and the internet
damn near got his business shut down in Poland. Okay,

(26:48):
well we got no sway. It almost destroyed this guy.
On what planet would you find yourself at a televised
event berating a child.

Speaker 3 (27:01):
Or a piece of memorabilia.

Speaker 2 (27:02):
My guess is she felt in that situation that she
was the child because the ball was hit to her section,
into her seat, so she had a right to it,
and then he came and took it away. She probably felt,
in her warped perspective that the guy was more like
the Polish guy and not her. But then when she
leaves the section and starts waving the finger because she's
not aware of the etiquette or how that sort of

(27:24):
thing works, and then she takes the ball away from
the boy, she's become what she hated.

Speaker 1 (27:29):
Oh wait, hold on, hold on see and I said
this is now, keep seeing this take. You can't really
fault the guy for just giving the ball back and
argue the point the ball shouldn't be that important to
the lady. That's probably why I gave it back. It
didn't matter that much because it wasn't about the ball
at that point, it would be my response to you, sir,

(27:50):
at that point, it's not about the ball. It's about
the life lesson unfolding in front of your kid. And
it's and the life lesson in front of your kid
is what do you do with bullies? What do you
do with people that would come over and an attempt
to physically intimidate you? And the answer is not give
them whatever they want. Based on that situation, I'm not

(28:13):
talking you're in a dark alley, some guys pulled a
gun on you. You're in a baseball stadium. There's cameras everywhere,
there's people everywhere. Your son is watching how you choose
to handle it, and you just told him to tuck
his tail. That's my point that you're right. The ball
is not as important the ball is. It's part of

(28:36):
the life lesson. It's a prop would be my point.

Speaker 5 (28:40):
Man.

Speaker 2 (28:40):
It's reminding me of you know, you're talking about your
parents walking in a dark alley right like you're being attacked.
It reminds me of Roise ell Ghoul and Batman begins
where he's talking about you know, hey, you didn't fail
your your parents, your dad failed you, right.

Speaker 1 (28:54):
Yes, or Dad failed you your yeah? Yeah, yeah, there
you go, all right eight eight eight nine three four
seven eight seven Before you went away in on this
very important topic, feel free.

Speaker 2 (29:05):
We got lots to get to, so hang on.

Speaker 1 (29:08):
I had multiple conversations yesterday where it was like, I
can't hit a woman. I just have to give her
the ball, and I kept having to explain you don't
have to sparta kicker or tombstoner, although it would be
very easy to sparta kick.

Speaker 3 (29:24):
Again at that elevated position.

Speaker 1 (29:26):
You can be firm without raising your voice and mitigate
this problem. And if she does put hands on you,
then how bad for her?

Speaker 2 (29:38):
Yeah, it's weird. It seems like this issue for a
lot of people is like a two way street, Like
there's two pass you can give the ball over, or
you can tombstoner or pile driver or something. There's a
third option, right, You just ignore her, you keep the ball,
and you call over security. And people are like, well,
what if she starts hitting you, Well, she's a woman.
If she starts hitting you, you once again, you do
the same thing. She's not going to harm you, And

(29:58):
now she just completely storied her life more so than
she was already doing unnational television because it's going to
be everywhere. She's gonna be the woman attacking the guy
like a crazy, unhinged you know what, and taking the
ball away from a kid on his birthday. And now
she already woke up to one of those sides. You know,
the next morning, she woke up and she's everywhere in
social media and she is the witch that stole the
ball from the kid on his birthday. Now imagine if

(30:20):
she was hitting you on top of that completely.

Speaker 1 (30:22):
You might as well just get a candy, a cabin
made of candy in the woods. Yeah, and just embrace it, man, just.

Speaker 3 (30:30):
Go with it.

Speaker 2 (30:32):
Now the third option for most people, Why are they
coming down?

Speaker 3 (30:35):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (30:35):
That's why it was so weird that like I kept
having this, I kept coming to the same like stalemate
with people. They're like, well, you know, I'll be on
TV hitting a woman, then don't hit her.

Speaker 2 (30:46):
Also much a situation play out. And now once was
I thinking, oh he should hit her, or he's thinking
of hitting her, Like I my brain didn't go there.

Speaker 1 (30:55):
And I and and again somebody brought the weapon thing up.
But I'm like, they're at a ballpark.

Speaker 2 (30:59):
She not packing.

Speaker 1 (31:01):
This is why sensual situational awareness is a thing. I
use the absurd example of a chainsaw. Now to be fair,
she does look like a woman who knows how to
work a chainsaw.

Speaker 3 (31:11):
Does that make sense, Fross?

Speaker 2 (31:13):
Yeah? Does that? You know what I mean?

Speaker 1 (31:16):
Yeah, but she doesn't have one because she's in a
ballpark where you can't even bring a person unless you
can see through it. Now they did. Now that some
woman did get misidentified as her. I thought she handled it, okay,
she said, I okay, everyone, I'm not the crazy Philly mom,
as much as I'd love to be, because she's thinner
than me.

Speaker 3 (31:36):
I'm a Red Sox fan. I wouldn't want the ball anyway.

Speaker 1 (31:39):
The amount of scumbaggery that it takes on the part
of all of the judges and lawyers and everyone who
is allowing this to drag out when the eventuality is
that this MS thirteen human trafficking, allegedly wife beating, alleged
by his own wife, a piece of garbage, marilynd Man
is going to get deported, and they keep claiming that

(32:01):
every country they're going to send them to he would
be persecuted because now they're like, oh, if he goes
to Uganda, he's going to be persecuted. If we he
can't go to can't go to the country where he's
actually from, he'll be persecuted. He can't go to Costa
Rica because he'll be persecuted.

Speaker 2 (32:17):
And I love that.

Speaker 1 (32:17):
The Trumpet Admin's like, fine, we'll just keep finding worse
places to send you. So now they're saying that if
you don't want to go to Uganda, we're going to
deport you to Swatini. ROSSI have you ever heard of Swatini?
It's a country.

Speaker 2 (32:36):
Is that a real place? You're just making that up.

Speaker 1 (32:39):
No, it's a real place. Yeah, yeah, it's uh, it's
you know. Ever, and you look at a picture of
South Africa, there's there's two countries that are little circles
that are like surrounded completely by South Africa and then
Lesotho is the.

Speaker 3 (32:53):
One people have heard of. This is the other one.

Speaker 1 (32:57):
So and they, of course they're gonna claim that he's
gonna be there is I I have a question, is
the persecution do you think associated with the fact that
he's a criminal dirt bag? Maybe that's uh, that's that's
what we're doing here. I think it'd be hilarious as
if they they rebooted the where in the world is

(33:18):
Carmen san Diego and let this dude star in it,
but he has to film it from Swatini and then
those put him in a new jail every time, and
they're be like, where is Brago Garcia? And then you
can get some kids on there to you know guess
and you know it'll be educational. So Fox News has
obtained an email that I sent to maryland Man's lawyers

(33:41):
notifying them that ICE now plans to deport him to
the tiny African country of Swatini after claiming fear from
persecution in Uganda and twenty other countries which ICE has
offered to send him to. Yeah, yeah, so they gave
they gave him twenty other options.

Speaker 3 (34:03):
All right, Ross, just listen to this.

Speaker 1 (34:04):
These are the These are the countries where they have
offered to send him to, and he has said no
because they he will be persecuted. So now we're to Eswatini,
l Salvador. Obviously that's a problem, right, That's what the
court said. Uh, Mexico, Belize, Costa Rica, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, Panama, Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Paraguay, Peru, Uruguay, Venezuela, Cuba,

(34:42):
Dominican Republic, and Haiti.

Speaker 2 (34:44):
I mean where there's some good picks there. Like I'd
probably go Costa Rica or Belize.

Speaker 3 (34:51):
Belize is fun.

Speaker 1 (34:52):
There's not much infrastructure, but it's really great fishing. He'd
have a hell of a time in Colombia probably.

Speaker 7 (34:58):
You know.

Speaker 1 (34:58):
The nice thing is most of those he speaks the language,
which I think would be a helpful thing.

Speaker 8 (35:03):
Right.

Speaker 2 (35:04):
His problem, he was saying with Uganda was he didn't
speak the language, even though their language, like their official
language is English. Right, yeah, so what's here? Does does
he speak English?

Speaker 5 (35:13):
Here?

Speaker 3 (35:14):
I have not seen him speak English.

Speaker 2 (35:16):
So then go back to a country where they speak Spanish. Man. Yeah,
I was thinking, you're gonna feel safe where there's some stability.
Those countries do exist.

Speaker 3 (35:26):
Argentina was very nice.

Speaker 1 (35:27):
You remember how complimentary I was when I when I
went to Argentina.

Speaker 3 (35:30):
Is that was gorgeous.

Speaker 1 (35:33):
Now do you have some Nazis in the woods, But
you know, other than that, stay just stay away from
anything where you see beer steins. All right, if you
see girls in like the we you know, like the
yodeler dresses don't go in that place. But yeah, you
got some good choices there, man. But no, because it's

(35:54):
that's not what this is about. This is about and
to some extent, it's not even about him anymore. He's
almost an afterthought. The lawyers that are working for him.
These lawyers are not his lawyers in my opinion, they're
lawyers for activists. Those are activist groups lawyers that are
handling stuff for him. Or why else would you go
When he was offered to go to Costa Rica, which is,

(36:18):
for all practical purposes, the safest country in Central America
and it's not even close. Why would your lawyer knowing
that at some point they are going to deport you,
talk you out of going to the safest option for you.
Because it's not about the best interest of the client.

(36:40):
It is about one hundred percent fighting Trump and he
is now. I have no sympathy for him because he
is a criminal, dirtbag. Everything that I've seen leads me
to that conclusion. So do I really mind him being
used as a pond? Not as a pond? Not really,
although I don't like the press. But that's what's up here,

(37:02):
let's just all admit that's what's up. And he's going
to end up. He's going to end up in some
country getting you know, made into the the jail b
by the Swatini gang, which I don't know what what
gang runs the prisons in Swatini.

Speaker 2 (37:17):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (37:19):
I'll bet he doesn't either. So this thing continues to
get well and then they'll let's find one more insane.
Judge will eventually decide that of the one hundred or
what is the current nation count in the world right now,
one hundred ninety eight or something, that one hundred and
ninety seven are, nobody can go there. Nobody can be

(37:41):
deported there. Think about the sheer audacity to imply that
of the the one hundred and ninety some other nations,
that the US is the only acceptable place to live
without being, you know, murdered.

Speaker 3 (37:57):
There's the sheer audacity of that.

Speaker 1 (38:01):
But that's where we are because this isn't about justice,
this isn't about the best interest of the client. This
is about making things as difficult as possible for Trump
and as unsafe as possible for people here in the
United States. It's for the same reason that the UH
and by the way, those of you who set emails
over the weekend because you're sheep, and then people go, oh,

(38:23):
nobody's talking about what happened on the light rail in Charlotte,
How dare you send those to us berating me for
not talking about You know many times I've talked about
that story. When was the first one talking about that
story of any of our local news here? And Pete
Tallaner and I dissected that story. We've talked about it
on multiple occasions.

Speaker 2 (38:45):
So you do that, you.

Speaker 1 (38:46):
Go to the email inbox with the guy who thinks
Naburu's coming to kill us every day. Now you scream
into the void. We very much covered that story. But
the people that work here with Abrego Garcia are the
same people who are instrumental in making sure that that

(39:08):
psychopath kept getting out so he could go psychopaths some
more around the greater Charlotte area. That's who you're dealing with.
You want to know who the enemies of the state are.
They wear robes. They're activists, and then their lawyer buddies
from law school who haven't yet been appointed a judge.

(39:29):
They're the ones sitting in front of them going come on.
We got to get Trump and this is what it
looks like right here. Seven fifteen.

Speaker 2 (39:37):
Hang on.

Speaker 1 (39:38):
Once the lawyers for this Abrego Garcia have decided that
every country on the or every country in the world
is unacceptable, then we can start talking planets like Ross.
What if we deport him to Alderon. I don't think
there's any MS thirteen on Aldern?

Speaker 5 (39:54):
Is there?

Speaker 2 (39:55):
No, not a lot of people there actually a lot
of room, a lot of space, you know, is there direct?

Speaker 1 (40:01):
Yeah, okay, we do that or maybe vulcan here. That's
nice now since they updated it here, is that cannon
by the way, or is that not can?

Speaker 6 (40:12):
Ye?

Speaker 2 (40:13):
Unfortunately? Is it really?

Speaker 5 (40:16):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (40:16):
I mean that's official. Yeah, it's going so anyway, I'm
not gonna.

Speaker 3 (40:20):
I mean no, it's a good place. It would be
a great place for him.

Speaker 2 (40:22):
It's very nice. I mean, oh it's yeah. Once again,
a lot of space there, good good good. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (40:28):
Like that's that's that's where we're headed with this thing.

Speaker 5 (40:31):
Man.

Speaker 3 (40:32):
Sorry, I don't make the rules.

Speaker 1 (40:35):
Apparently nobody makes the rules, although sometimes the North Carolina
education leaders want to make rules, or then they want
to make new rules because under the current rules, the
kids' grades are not real good and it's reflecting poorly
I think probably on those in charge.

Speaker 3 (40:51):
So let's go ahead and change the rules.

Speaker 1 (40:53):
North Carolina educational leaders are mulling a revision to the
state's most visible school accountability measure, school performance grades.

Speaker 3 (41:04):
These are the letter grades ABC, D.

Speaker 1 (41:06):
And F fororn by every school in North Carolina each
fall when the state standardized testing scores are released. The
current by the way, what is the current passing rate
for we were in like the fiftieth percent tile and
it's the number that really hasn't budged very much.

Speaker 3 (41:26):
But that's not good.

Speaker 1 (41:27):
Right when you have forty some percent of students in
North Carolina who are not meeting requirements for their grade
level for math, that's a problem.

Speaker 3 (41:37):
But what if you change the standards.

Speaker 1 (41:40):
Superintendent of Public Instruction Moe Green, who you don't buy out,
he buys you out, oversees the state Department of Public
Instruction and plans to form a task force in October
to study revising the grades.

Speaker 3 (41:54):
Quote.

Speaker 1 (41:54):
It's part of the strategic plan drafted by Green and
his staff, who approved and recommend or where it was
approved and recommended by the State Board of Education last month,
it would make them recommendations lawmakers, so you will this
is going to require the General Assembly if they want
to pull the wool over everybody's eyes to change the
accountability in the grading system that I have been covering.

(42:17):
The thing that has frustrated me the entire professional career
covering school districts and school boards is and teachers teachers'
unions is I have never seen an industry that is
more recoils more to assessing their competence. I can't tell

(42:41):
you the number of times I've sat there and listened
to school like teachers union officials whine and complain that
you can't you can't assess how a teacher is doing
by testing. It's not fair. Okay, well, then how it
would be more? What would be more fair than people
through ideas out like that wouldn't be fair. And I've
come to the conclusion, not unnecessarily on individual teachers, but

(43:04):
when you get into the management side of it, they
will tell you that there is no viable way to
determine whether your kids teacher is a good teacher or
a bad teacher, let alone, how the hell to get
rid of them if they're a bad teacher and at
that point, I'm done taking you.

Speaker 2 (43:20):
Seriously, I'm done.

Speaker 1 (43:25):
There are tons of metrics, you guys just don't want
them because it propols accountability. And the same goes for administration,
who's largely responsible when you do have these problems because
they've decided they need seven hundred thousand official additional administrators there,
and it SAPs the budget and then they have no
money and we got to do this, and we're going
to cancel sports if you don't give us more money.

(43:48):
And it's just the blood pressure problem that it gives me.
I don't even have kids in the education system is
absolutely off the charts. So when I see stuff like this,
we'll recommend a new school level accountability system. How are
parents supposed to again, evaluate your schools in the job
that those schools are doing and educating their kids, other

(44:09):
than anecdotally how they feel their kids doing. How do
you determine if it's your kid that's the problem or
if the system's busted. Especially now, you're gonna have apples
and oranges, because if they change it, you can't even
compare it back to the other one, and then it
just rinse and repeat and it's the same cycle and
So if you're mow Green, or you're one of these

(44:31):
Board of Education people, or you're the General Assembly, who
has you know, skin in the game when it comes
to educating kids, and you're sick of people pointing out
you're doing such a you know what job of it
that you have to go change the rules in the
way that it's evaluated all the time.

Speaker 3 (44:46):
Screw all of you.

Speaker 1 (44:49):
Why don't you sit down and go, why are we
only the fiftieth percentile which used to be a failing
grade by the way, when it comes to making sure
that kids could actually do math? And don't tell me
because you need more money.

Speaker 2 (45:02):
If you have a business, right in the private sector,
and every business sort of runs like this, right, and
you have a sip of manager, and you have the employees,
and if the employees, you know, can't meet their goals
and they fail miserably, they might get rid of those
employees and bring some some new ones in. But then
if they consistently fail, eventually.

Speaker 3 (45:18):
Half of your employees are failing.

Speaker 2 (45:19):
Yes, eventually it's going to come down on management, and
they're going to get rid of the management because they're
not doing a job. They're not doing their job right.
Eventually it's going to come down. You see this and turnover.
Even in the radio radio industry that happens, right, No,
I've never seen that ross tell anymore, you know what
I mean. So, I mean, at some point, if the
students keep failing, at some point it has to be
your fault.

Speaker 3 (45:38):
But no, no, you's got to change the metrics.

Speaker 2 (45:41):
You're fine, right, you're going to change the way with grade. Now,
that's what we're going to do. Change the rules.

Speaker 1 (45:45):
Now, in this case, it's the grading of the schools.
They've already they're already changing the way that they great. Yeah, no,
now the schools are graded.

Speaker 2 (45:52):
Yeah. I was going to say, we've done that before.
Now we're back in back of my day failing with
sixty four and now it is like fifty or something.
That's yes, m.

Speaker 1 (46:02):
So then you can't even compare it. You're like, all right,
how many kids have how many kids are failing?

Speaker 2 (46:08):
Oh? Well, back in.

Speaker 1 (46:09):
Nineteen eighty nine, you know, forty percent we're failing and
now only twenty five percent. Oh do they get much smarter?
Did you guys fix the program? No, we made it
so you could be ten points less than you're not
failing okay, great, glad to hear it.

Speaker 2 (46:26):
That's perfect.

Speaker 1 (46:27):
So we'll see because look, everybody here, everybody here that's
in this decision making thing, you look like you're failing
at what you're doing. That's because you are. Let's just
be abundantly clear here, you are.

Speaker 3 (46:43):
Failing.

Speaker 1 (46:44):
I did somebody parent email me about Green? So Mo Green,
the school superintendent of the superintendent of public instruction excuse me,
apparently gave the commencement at the School of Education at
UNC Greensboro, and he talked about the civil rights the
whole time I'm and never touched on Hey, maybe you
guys should be really good teachers for the kids.

Speaker 3 (47:04):
Quick phone call, Adam, good morning, what's up.

Speaker 5 (47:09):
Okay, if you want me to point out I got that.
I saw that article and about the same time, my
child got his reading score back and he was he
was above grade level.

Speaker 2 (47:20):
By one grade.

Speaker 5 (47:20):
But the interesting part is compared to his peers, he's
reading three great levels higher than cricket. Oh no, that
means that the piers, the peers are all the system
itself is three grade levels below standards.

Speaker 1 (47:35):
Well, then we just adjust the great levels and then
your kid will be a super genius. Or just normal
depending on how they expand or can tract the scale there.

Speaker 2 (47:43):
So that's the correct and.

Speaker 5 (47:45):
The other interesting part is the testing. Like if they
fail a test they get below seventy five, they can
retake their missus and get brought up high and they
get all their misses there.

Speaker 2 (47:56):
Yeah, this is what Ross was telling me off the year.
He told him.

Speaker 1 (47:59):
That's that blew me away, because like there were when
I did standard IE tested when I was in school.
There were a couple very specific reasons you might be
able to retake it. I think if your kid had
dyslexia and the settings weren't right or things, you know,
the things that were very big outliers. But they would
stress upon us like do not be sick, study this.

(48:22):
You know your life depends on this. That's how they
convey it. And that's when we did the testing. And
once you tested at, you tested at. So now you
can retake it is there. Do you have to give
a reason or you can just retake it?

Speaker 5 (48:35):
No, no reason is just anybody gets a little seventy five.
If you can resubmit, I think you can do it
at home. I don't even think you have to do
it anymoh you to mix your answers and be brought
up to seventy five.

Speaker 1 (48:47):
Oh good, okay, all right, well that makes me feel better, sir. Well, congratulations,
your kid's gonna probably uh, I don't know, all the
other kids are going to work for them.

Speaker 2 (48:56):
So you got that going for you? All right, there
you go. Do you remember I just called the brag,
just called the brag about his kid. I I can
appreciate that. Do you remember, really though? Like I remember
sitting there in the room taking my Regent's test up
in New York, and there was no redo there there
was and you're thinking, You're like, if I screw this up,

(49:17):
my entire future is ruined. Yes, is a kid, you
know what I mean?

Speaker 1 (49:22):
And people said, people have said now that it was
it's unfair to stress kids like that, But I don't.
Life doesn't care, do you know what I'm saying? Eventually,
life doesn't care. You could be more managed and that
you know, you could set expectations, but like how many
things in life.

Speaker 3 (49:39):
Where have you said to yourself?

Speaker 1 (49:41):
Ross, Uh, if I screw this up, man, I'm gonna uh,
things are gonna go really badly.

Speaker 3 (49:45):
So I need to bear down and handle this.

Speaker 1 (49:47):
Yes, yeah, that's part of life, man, that's how it goes,
especially for us.

Speaker 3 (49:54):
Jet xers who will never have a saint.

Speaker 1 (49:56):
I'm not surprised, are you surprised that these skids that
the Catholic Church is beatified a little millennial as the
next Catholic saint and no gen x or has ever
been named a saint.

Speaker 2 (50:08):
Now, please explain this to me. Why what were the miracles?
Because there asked me three miracles? Right?

Speaker 5 (50:15):
Two?

Speaker 2 (50:16):
Two? How did what has he done? I'm completely so,
all right?

Speaker 1 (50:21):
So the miracles, as I understand them, one is when
he was alive and basically he prayed with a girl
and she was healed. Specifically, what was If you don't well,
hold on, let me set the scene for people. So
Pope Leo has announced that Carlo acutus I will become
the first millennial saint at a canonization.

Speaker 2 (50:45):
Let's see.

Speaker 1 (50:47):
Well, anyway, known as God's influencer, Carlo was just fifteen
when he died of leukemia in Milan in two thousand
and six and has had two miracles attributed him by
the church.

Speaker 3 (50:58):
All right, So the first miracle was let me go
to hear, all right, So the first miracle.

Speaker 1 (51:07):
Carlo was put on the path towards sainthood after Pope
Francis approved a miracle attributed to him in twenty twenty,
declaring him blessed and crediting him with healing matheas Vianna,
a seven year old boy from Brazil who recovered from
a rare pantreotic disorder after coming into contact with one
of Carlo's T shirts. So now you're getting into relics,

(51:28):
which I don't know if you know anything about relics
of the Catholic Church anyway, So we're here. And then
the second miracle was after he was dead. Well this
is also after he was dead. A Costa Rican student
who suffered a major head trauma sustained in a bicycle accident.
Mom went and prayed at the at Carlos tomb because
she was aware of the T shirt incident. So she

(51:51):
prayed at the tomb and her daughter miraculously got better.
Those are the two miracles according to the church. But
also he's a millennial. No gen Xra has ever been
a saint.

Speaker 2 (52:01):
Do you know if he had any siblings? Well I
don't think he did because that would have sucked. Oh yeah,
like you're never going to get out of that shadow.
It's like, you know, your brother's a doctor and you're
sitting there and you're like, oh, your brother the saint.

Speaker 1 (52:19):
Yeah, literally, and they go in and they go into
a bunch of other stuff too, where he's just like
he was just kind of the kind of kid he was.
He you know, he he basically lived like a popper.
He'd give away anything that was bought for him. He
actually learned a code, learned a program, and created essentially
a software system that cataloged there's a website cataloging, uh

(52:47):
one of the eucharistic miracles from around the world so
that people.

Speaker 2 (52:51):
Could study him. And so that's it.

Speaker 1 (52:54):
But yeah, just the idea of a of a Now
we're on the millennial Saints. But to your point, you
think he is an only child, which is probably a
good thing for I mean, sad for the parents obviously
they lost their fifteen year old son.

Speaker 2 (53:07):
But and that's why I like that movie Fred Claus
Vince Vaughan. I think that's a Christmas classic.

Speaker 3 (53:14):
He's there, they can drag it Fred Claus into the
Canonsation of Saints.

Speaker 2 (53:17):
Well because in the movie St. Nicholas's brother Fred, and
it's right. You know, things haven't gone as well for him,
and he's like living his brother's shadow. He's like, everywhere
I go, there's my brother. December sucks.

Speaker 1 (53:29):
I think they should do and since they've done this,
they should do a whole Marvel's movie where it's just
the non superpowered siblings. Yes, yeah, and they're all just
bitter right or or there? Or are they living vicariously
to the superhero siblings.

Speaker 3 (53:45):
But it's kind of sad. So I don't know, man,
that might be a little too dark.

Speaker 1 (53:50):
That's probably why I'm not a producer at Marvel, although
I'd probably do a better job. All right, speaking of accountability,
you want to hear a piece of audio, it's gonna
blow your mind. So one of the Boston City Council members,
her name is Tanya Fernandez Anderson. She she's a Democrat,
by the way, and she just got sentenced to prison

(54:12):
because she was taking kickbacks. So she is a official
criminal dirt bag. And so she held a press conference
over the weekend because you know, the media's got questions
and I'm sorry, this is gonna make you angry. I
apologize in advance, but listen to what lack of accountability

(54:34):
sounds like, shall we.

Speaker 7 (54:35):
I'm not that important and I hope that after this
you guys will stop talking about me because I'm actually
an introvert and it hurts when you put me on
the news and for Boston Harald and all of.

Speaker 1 (54:49):
Their Yeah wait, hold, I'm an introvert and it hurts.
Ross you're an introvert? Are you taking kickbacks? Because if
you're not, you probably won't end up on the news.

Speaker 2 (55:01):
Yeah, so there's that.

Speaker 1 (55:03):
That's a good way to stay out of the news
and not hold public office. That's another good.

Speaker 7 (55:07):
Way to like try to create stories, try to verify
your facts. The reason why I don't talk to you
is because you never report accurately on black people. You're
always called a sort of trouble and you are. And
you know what, the responsibility really is not on Boston Herald,
though ABC or Fox twenty five. The responsibility should be
on the black community. We need to create black media

(55:30):
so that we can actually be able to create a
fair story and act.

Speaker 1 (55:35):
You mean, not not report when a black city council member,
since you brought up the race, takes kickbacks and then
is convicted in court of taking kickbacks you want, you
want media who won't cover that because they're black media
and you're black. That doesn't sound like a good idea
from a media standpoint.

Speaker 7 (55:54):
Man, report accurately, accurately on black people. You don't care
that I'm a black woman, that I'm an immigran, and
that I'm getting death threats and I'm not a victim.
I'm not saying any of that. And I took responsibility.

Speaker 3 (56:04):
I don't know.

Speaker 7 (56:06):
People, especially black women, especially black immigrants, and there's no
there's no excuses here. It's just simply report accurately, be
responsible and to my black community. This is where we
are in a state of things in Boston, a city
where we have so much money. I'm not trying I
wasn't what the prosecutor.

Speaker 3 (56:27):
I wasn't trying to.

Speaker 7 (56:29):
To to to to gain momentum or popularity. I actually
don't like talking to you guys. I actually don't like
being in the media. It's just too much. And so
can you please, I'm asking you, for the love of God,
stop talking about me. Just let the story go.

Speaker 1 (56:46):
Stop taking kickbacks as an elected official, and they'll stop
talking about you.

Speaker 2 (56:53):
Good lord man.

Speaker 1 (56:55):
How many times did she say she's not making excuses
while making excuses, So that would be the example of
what I was talking about seven forty five.

Speaker 3 (57:05):
What do we got Jeff Mahr this morning? Yes, indeed,
oh look at that.

Speaker 1 (57:11):
So what's going Do you watch that game last night?
Holy crap, man, I know we get up early, but
I did.

Speaker 8 (57:16):
I unfortunately said I did have to get up early.
I turned it off thinking that the Ravens had the
game one, only to find out this when I got
out this morning, that was not the case.

Speaker 2 (57:25):
That was definitely not the case.

Speaker 1 (57:26):
It was so good that I had then and was
like I couldn't fall a see for like an hour after.
So I am dragging on this Monday, but it was
it was worth it, all right. So what do we
got going weather wise here on this Monday?

Speaker 8 (57:38):
Well, certainly worth it if you're gonna be spending some
time outdoors this week. We'll have dry weather and comfortable
temperatures this morning, just a few clouds otherwise, some sunshaft
for the afternoon after seventy eight degrees for a high,
then back down under the upper fifties overnight, with a
partly cloudy sky tomorrow, and Wednesday's sunny with highs in
the upper seventies, a little bit warmer with more sun
shaft for Thursday and Friday highs each of those afternoons

(57:58):
should hit the low eighties, and the dry weather Panerchick
hold up right on through the weekend with more sun
and highs and the low eighties for Saturday and Sunday
as well.

Speaker 3 (58:05):
Okay, all right, Jeff, we're talking to I appreciate it
and coming up on the show.

Speaker 2 (58:09):
You guys ready for this the.

Speaker 1 (58:11):
Greatest tariff update of all tariff updates. I'm so excited
we'll have it next.

Speaker 2 (58:17):
Hang on us. Do you like food?

Speaker 3 (58:19):
Are you a fan of food? I mean just in
general nourishment for your body?

Speaker 2 (58:24):
I do enjoy it. I don't know if i'd call
myself a foodie.

Speaker 3 (58:27):
I would never I would not insult you in that way,
thank you?

Speaker 2 (58:31):
Yeah, no, no, no, oh yeah. Overall, I am a
fan of food for survival and sometimes I enjoy ho
it tastes. Okay, nice?

Speaker 1 (58:37):
All right, Well, I would need you to sit down
for this next piece of info, because all right you
strapped in.

Speaker 5 (58:44):
Here we go.

Speaker 1 (58:44):
Apparently the latest victim of the Trump tariffs, the pumpkin
spice supply chain in an article it titled a Terrible
Week for Pumpkin Spice. We now find out that a
lot of the pumpkin spice goodness as part of the
pumpkin spice industrial complex as grinded to a halt as

(59:08):
the tariffs have stood in the way of creating, importing,
manufacturing various pumpkin spice style foods, and in fact, there's
just a lot that they're having a lot of trouble
getting into the country. Impacted flavors and foods include pumpkin spice,
fig bars, pumpkin spice, goldfish crackers, pumpkin spice. Let's see here,

(59:34):
protein shakes, cottage cheese. There's pumpkin spice cottage cheese. Does
that sound appetizing to anybody? Who the hell's eating pumpkin
spice cottage cheese.

Speaker 2 (59:53):
It's like a torture food.

Speaker 1 (59:55):
And then remember we talked about people who make lasagna
and they use cottage instead of a cotton.

Speaker 3 (01:00:00):
Uh, you know some lunatics made it with that.

Speaker 2 (01:00:05):
Yeah, when they want to know where the bomb is,
they strap you into the seat there the you know,
they see a black site and they're like, yeah, tell
us where the bomb is and you're like, oh, I'll
never do it. And then they like they break in
a spoon of kind of cheese and pumpkins spice, and
you're like, oh, it's over on Seventh Street, you know
what I mean.

Speaker 1 (01:00:20):
Pumpkins also impacted pumpkin spice bacon. Who speaking of the
black site, whoever summary execution? Okay, whoever invented pumpkin spice bacon?

Speaker 3 (01:00:36):
Public? Very public?

Speaker 1 (01:00:38):
Maybe go kind of Marie into wing that kind of
stuff right where everyone's gathered around off with her head.

Speaker 3 (01:00:43):
Figure it out.

Speaker 5 (01:00:45):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:00:45):
So a lot of different brands and pumpkin spice products
are are not.

Speaker 3 (01:00:51):
It's just it's not going well.

Speaker 1 (01:00:53):
And the pot and the reason is is because India
originates a lot of the pumpkin spice stuff and with
the fifty percent tariffs that is impacting your pumpkin spice.
Avocado oil is a thing, but the necessary spices that
are used to create pumpkin spice, many of them originate

(01:01:15):
from Indians.

Speaker 3 (01:01:15):
So that's what the problem is. Can I just say
this is what people voted for.

Speaker 2 (01:01:21):
I was just about to ask you, I was just
that you witch, get out of my head. I was
just about to say I was gonna ask you, Casey,
is this what you voted for? I think this is
what a lot of people voted for. Absolutely, absolutely, you
want to talk about great downstream products.

Speaker 1 (01:01:38):
Oh no, I know you're sad because you can't have
your pumpkin spice beer. But now now there's more available taps,
so there'll be a delicious Belgian on tap that I
can drink.

Speaker 3 (01:01:47):
Yay for me, yay for people like beer not fruit
beer or whatever.

Speaker 1 (01:01:54):
This is, oh man, absolutely devastating for the pump spice enthusias.
What is Boston Paul gonna do with his pumpkin spice
beer that I know he drinks because he's admitted it.
He might be the hardest hit let's see here.

Speaker 2 (01:02:16):
Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:02:17):
Starbucks is probably freaking out because they're already doing the
pumpkin spice latte, right. I think I think that went
into effect here a couple of weeks ago, so hopefully
hopefully they got a bunch of pumpkin spice stored up.
But absolutely devastating for you twenty something little white girls
in your ug boots. Ah, I feel bad for you.

(01:02:42):
This is what we needed, man. Pumpkin spice got too
big for its breeches. You just want to you wanna
have a coffee, fine, whatever, but you couldn't stop there.
You were like the smoking Nazis. You're like, oh, we
just want we just don't want people smoking up playing.
And then now you can't smoke like where anyone can

(01:03:03):
see you, or they take your kids or something.

Speaker 2 (01:03:05):
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (01:03:06):
That's probably not one hundred percent accurate, but close.

Speaker 2 (01:03:10):
This is what this is.

Speaker 1 (01:03:11):
A this is a correction, that's what this is. A
course correction, a market correction on the pumpkin spice cartel
just used that word. So all right, there you go, dude, Ross,
with this story out. Do you know how many women
are gonna be sorry ladies. If I think pumpkin spice,

(01:03:34):
I think the ladies, it's gonna look like when people
were fighting each other for toilet paper at the grocery store.
As soon as people get into this, be in there
looting the pumpkin spice style.

Speaker 3 (01:03:47):
God help us. Now, there is.

Speaker 1 (01:03:51):
One small thing that may be of concern to some people.
We started with the Philly Ball incident. That's where the
crazy little butch haircut lady decided to go roll up
on Dad and son.

Speaker 3 (01:04:06):
Because when the ball got hit, he was the one
who came up with the ball.

Speaker 1 (01:04:11):
She did not like that because technically it was closer
in proximity to her seat, although the ball actually landed
where there was nobody sitting. And the rules are if
a ball is hit, people can go for it within reason.
You can't be punching people. And then whoever comes up
with it is the owner of the ball. Once possession.
Think of it like a football. Once possession is achieved,

(01:04:35):
that's your ball. And we just pointed out that not
only is she a horrible woman, but he's a horrible father,
just cowering to this woman. And I was trying to
convince this because everyone I told that too over the weekend.
Not everyone, but a lot of people are like, oh,
you want him to like punch the woman. No, no,
there's two There's not only two options where you either

(01:04:59):
be a coward, give the ball, and teach your son
that when a bully approaches you, you should just you
should curl into a little ball and beg for forgiveness
and give them whatever they want, which is a horrible
life lesson versus him having to sparta kicker into the
next deck at the thing, right, the middle ground is
you firmly without real you don't have to raise your voice,

(01:05:22):
but you firmly tell her no, we're not going to
do that. If you have a problem with that, go
talk to stadium officials, and you need to get away.

Speaker 3 (01:05:30):
You're scaring my son.

Speaker 2 (01:05:32):
You need to go now.

Speaker 1 (01:05:34):
And then Ross had a good suggestion at that point.
Sit down, stare straight ahead at the game, and ignore her.
But keep an eye on her, because that dude had
he had the high ground because she's in a row
below him.

Speaker 3 (01:05:49):
He's physically bigger than her.

Speaker 1 (01:05:52):
If she decided to start something, he could probably restrain her.
He doesn't have to tombstone her. And that's how you
handle that. And now, well, you taught a horrible life
lesson to your son. Okay, it's embarrassing. So that was
story number one. Story number two one of the most
amazing football games I've ever seen yesterday. I know Ross

(01:06:13):
didn't watch it because that's how the thing goes. But
twenty two points in the fourth quarter by Josh Allen,
and it sucks that my team has to follow that
up today and we're playing the Bears. So it will
never probably rise to the level just because you know,
the two teams last night or two potential Super Bowl winners.

Speaker 2 (01:06:34):
I like to think the vikings are but we shall see.

Speaker 1 (01:06:37):
And so we had that school officials in the state
Education Department are looking at ways to reimagine how schools
are evaluated, which I think it is just awful, especially
since now we're in these situations where, like I got
some emails from here's a teacher, she said, I have

(01:06:57):
to get my students a fifty for their first marketing period,
whether they've done any work or not.

Speaker 3 (01:07:04):
As somebody who.

Speaker 1 (01:07:05):
Did really well on tests and basically had no problem,
you know, catching all the information. I was a good
student in that sense. Hated doing homework, man, and those
zeros will absolutely devastate you. And you know what it
taught me. It taught me you got to do your homework.
And now we have you can be passing with like

(01:07:26):
a fifty five percent in some districts. It's out of
control and it's unfair to the students who are doing
what they're supposed to be doing. But just the lack
of accountability. So we got we got all that more
going on. Oh and the pumpkin spice trade is apparently
impacted by the tariffs, and I'm cool with that the

(01:07:50):
more I learn about it. Although some people like Boston
Paul drinks pumpkin spice beer. He's probably gonna be devastated,
aren't you, Boston Paul, and make.

Speaker 9 (01:07:58):
You very same and date on it on the homework
is passing now, right? But that, uh, that father looked
like he was hiding behind the sun. Yeah, that was awful.
But I'm just wondering, what could you play the tape
where I said I liked punk and spice beer, I

(01:08:19):
do not ever recall.

Speaker 3 (01:08:24):
I committed memory.

Speaker 2 (01:08:25):
You did say it?

Speaker 1 (01:08:27):
Yeah, sorry, no, no, And then I think you're I
think I think you're you're you're you're turning into Joe Biden,
their Boston Paul.

Speaker 2 (01:08:35):
Yeah, anybody poor Ross?

Speaker 9 (01:08:38):
Then you jinks poor Ross saying he beat his team,
beat the best team. You know, you know there's always
a team out there. The worst team in the world
is going to be the one that's the going in
the butt that's gonna beat him statistically.

Speaker 1 (01:08:51):
Statistically, the Ravens are probably the best team They're going
to play all year. Kansas City losing down in Brazil.

Speaker 5 (01:08:57):
So like that.

Speaker 9 (01:08:59):
I try to watch that game, but I couldn't take it.

Speaker 1 (01:09:01):
With every first down, I like, what we'll the announcers? Man,
I know it was YouTube. Then there was something up
with the announcers that didn't sit right. Not that they
were bad announcers, Yeah, it was just the whole thing
was weird.

Speaker 7 (01:09:19):
I know.

Speaker 5 (01:09:19):
I had to shut it off.

Speaker 9 (01:09:20):
I couldn't watched it.

Speaker 2 (01:09:21):
How was How was the Patriots game? How'd you guys do?
I forgot to look, they did pretty good.

Speaker 9 (01:09:26):
I'm I'm sure we'll win seven or eight games this year.
That's what I'm hoping. We'll see, we'll see.

Speaker 1 (01:09:32):
Uh do you know who happens to be leading Ross?
Do you know who's leading the division? So I don't
have to look it up?

Speaker 2 (01:09:37):
Uh a East? Yeah, let me look at that.

Speaker 7 (01:09:43):
Man.

Speaker 9 (01:09:43):
Careful now, careful. You know your team didn't play yet.
They played tonight, so don't be don't.

Speaker 2 (01:09:48):
Be too cocky now at the moment. That's Buffalo.

Speaker 3 (01:09:51):
But you know, yeah, yeah, yeah, the Packers look good.

Speaker 10 (01:09:56):
Man.

Speaker 2 (01:09:56):
I hated to see that, so beer enthusiast, you know,
what was that guy's.

Speaker 9 (01:10:03):
Name that used to play for the Green Bay Packers
and now he plays for Pittsburgh. He was really good
last night too.

Speaker 3 (01:10:10):
You're referring to Aaron Rodgers. Yeah, is that who you're
crushing on?

Speaker 7 (01:10:14):
Now?

Speaker 1 (01:10:15):
Okay, no, no, all right, No, I want you to
get some pumpkin spice bacon and let us know how
that tastes.

Speaker 2 (01:10:22):
Okay, your homework, way to take.

Speaker 3 (01:10:24):
Give me the tape, give me the eviden it's right here,
just in my memory.

Speaker 2 (01:10:27):
It's a that's sure.

Speaker 3 (01:10:28):
That's a sure thing. You could do a deep fake
with the tape.

Speaker 7 (01:10:31):
Man.

Speaker 9 (01:10:32):
You know, it's admitting nothing to deny everything and demand proof,
and I I'm demanding admitted.

Speaker 1 (01:10:37):
All right, So Bass and Paul, then just say it officially,
I don't like pumpkin spice beer.

Speaker 9 (01:10:44):
Saying I don't like pumpkin spice beer.

Speaker 3 (01:10:46):
Ross, edit the word don't out, please, all right, thank
you for that little gem.

Speaker 2 (01:10:52):
All right, appreciate that.

Speaker 3 (01:10:54):
Yeah, Ross, edit the word don't out. And the next
time he asked for tape, I.

Speaker 2 (01:10:58):
Was already on it before you asked.

Speaker 1 (01:11:00):
Okay, all right, I can't believe they gotta just say it.
Oh wait, hold on, Lisa wants you all to lose
your appetite for the rest of the day.

Speaker 2 (01:11:06):
Yes, Lisa, good morning.

Speaker 10 (01:11:10):
I just wanted to let you know, am I in beer?

Speaker 3 (01:11:14):
You're in the area.

Speaker 10 (01:11:15):
Yeah, well okay, sorry, Yeah. A couple of years ago,
I actually saw a clumpkin spice flavored salmon.

Speaker 2 (01:11:23):
Oh gosh.

Speaker 10 (01:11:24):
I literally stood then stared at it for several minutes
because my brain was having trouble processing it.

Speaker 2 (01:11:31):
Who is selling this?

Speaker 3 (01:11:32):
So we can shut them down?

Speaker 10 (01:11:36):
I need to shed a bed light? It was food line.

Speaker 2 (01:11:42):
Seven.

Speaker 5 (01:11:44):
Oh.

Speaker 10 (01:11:46):
I thought it was, you know, like seeing UFO that
your brain just couldn't squeare with it. I just could
not process that.

Speaker 2 (01:11:54):
Taking a picture of it, Yeah, that's it.

Speaker 3 (01:11:56):
I would have had to taken a picture because nobody
would believe you.

Speaker 2 (01:11:59):
I believe you, course.

Speaker 7 (01:12:02):
Right.

Speaker 2 (01:12:03):
Yeah, yeah, you said much of our.

Speaker 1 (01:12:04):
Honest than Boston Paul lying about his beers things. So
all right, Lisa, thank you very much for that. I
appreciate that. You see, I just lost five pounds thinking
about that.

Speaker 2 (01:12:14):
You see the pumpkin spice sam in next thing? You know,
there's a guy with a flashy light in your face. Right,
look at this thing, yeshy light. You never gonna get
that out of you.

Speaker 3 (01:12:24):
I'm trying to think of a worse pumpkin spice example.

Speaker 2 (01:12:26):
I could think of.

Speaker 1 (01:12:28):
Could you could you think of anything worse than a
pumpkin spice flavored fish?

Speaker 2 (01:12:36):
I mean, cottage cheese is bad. That is Oh, let
me apologize.

Speaker 1 (01:12:41):
I'm not mad at you, Lisa, because you obviously you
had to suffer the the trauma that will follow you
for the rest of your days by laying eyes on
that thing. But good lord man, that is not okay.
So let me let me grab this. Speaking of things

(01:13:02):
I don't understand, Okay, here we go. A North Carolina
family claims their child's daycare didn't call nine one one
after the boy was bitten by a copper head on
the playground. What New Beginnings child En, Richmond Center and

(01:13:26):
Stony Point. So the child was bitten on the playground,
a worker killed the copper head, so staff is aware
a copperhead was about because they murdered it. However, local
news outlets in Charlotte reached out to the emergency services
of Alexander County, who confirmed they never received a nine

(01:13:49):
to one to one call from the daycare. I'm going
to think whether you're a daycare, a good Samaritan on
the street, or a person who had a pull if
you see a child bitten by a copperhead, or you
suspect they may have been bit by a copper head,
and you don't call medicals for a medical assistance.

Speaker 3 (01:14:14):
The hell's going on? Here's uh, this is the boy's aunt,
right all right? So here she is talking to Rio.

Speaker 11 (01:14:21):
The boy's antiphone. Earlier, she says the boys guardian was
initially told the four year old had to splinter her
possibly broke his hand, but the information changed when the
guardian arrived at the daycare.

Speaker 4 (01:14:33):
The director got up and said he got snake bit.
My first thought was why didn't they count on one
war one? My second thing was like, does the parents
even know about the other parents?

Speaker 3 (01:14:45):
So so yeah, there's a little confusion.

Speaker 1 (01:14:47):
So at first they tell they tell her we think
he got a splinter, that's why his arms throbbing, orherever
he got a bit. But once confronted, you can't deny
that you just had a work or kill the cop heads.
So clearly, at the very least, they had to suspect
the kid had been bitten by the copper head, right,
because you got a copper head in the playground there.

(01:15:09):
Now you got a kid with this weird injury there,
and nobody put two.

Speaker 3 (01:15:13):
And two together.

Speaker 1 (01:15:16):
Something doesn't make sense. Alexander County nine to one one
said emergency services response to snake bites every year. Sure,
we got cop people get bit by copper heads. It's
just a thing that happens in North Carolina.

Speaker 3 (01:15:28):
Man, how many?

Speaker 1 (01:15:31):
I can't tell you the number of copperhead especially when
they're when we got the little ones earlier on in
the year, or around a couple of the golf courses
I like to play. Now, can you take your potter
and sling them at your buddy? You shouldn't do that,
but I may have seen it done before. Crazy stuff

(01:15:52):
happens out on the golf course.

Speaker 2 (01:15:53):
What can you do? But yeah, I guess.

Speaker 1 (01:15:56):
Maybe check with your kid's daycare. I'll see what their
policy is for uh copper head bites, and I hope
the policy includes Like I'm trying to understand why you
wouldn't call. Do they really think that that the what
the parents are gonna sue because the copper heads on

(01:16:17):
an outdoor playground, which say, I have almost no control over.
I guess that's the only thought I can think that
would cause somebody to err on the side.

Speaker 2 (01:16:26):
Of not saying anything. But then again, that.

Speaker 1 (01:16:30):
Doesn't even make sense because you're gonna be a lot
more liable if the kid dies. I'm not a lawyer,
but I feel like that would be the case.

Speaker 5 (01:16:40):
All right.

Speaker 1 (01:16:40):
So now people are sending me their pumpkin spiced pumpkin
spice chicken wings. Nope, Ross, you have any interest if
I get you some pumpkin spice chicken wings?

Speaker 2 (01:16:50):
Do you like wings? Right? I will stab you in
the neck.

Speaker 3 (01:16:54):
Oh no, with the copper head, right, that's what you
want to do?

Speaker 2 (01:16:57):
Two of them tied together? Oh my gosh. Yeah, So.

Speaker 3 (01:17:03):
Pumpkin pumpkin spice enema is not a thing, Matthew.

Speaker 2 (01:17:07):
I don't know.

Speaker 10 (01:17:07):
Maybe it is.

Speaker 1 (01:17:09):
A bunch of weirdos, all right. Eight twenty hang on,
I don't know if you guys are following this. I
know some people really get plugged in with some of
these more uh, I will say juicy murder stories because
everyone everybody loves the true crime.

Speaker 2 (01:17:25):
Now, so there's this.

Speaker 1 (01:17:27):
There's a really interesting case out of Michigan of a
woman who was accused of setting her house on fire
to try to kill her husband and then waiting outside
for him to see if he got out, and when
he came running out, escaping the you know, the inferno
of death. She then ran him over with her car.

(01:17:49):
She claims it was all an accident. What wait, hold on, Ross,
hold on, are you not buying that story? Due to
the level of winki denks that were necessary to make
that happen, it's crazy. Is she was sentenced to life
in prison, but then a judge threw the thing out.
Now they're having to go at it again.

Speaker 2 (01:18:09):
Of course they did. Yeah, so it just one long
tragic accident. Yeah, yeah, one big, long tragic accident. Accidentally
set the house on fire while you were in it,
and when you stumbled out, I'm like, oh, I'm gonna
save them, and then they hit him in my car.

Speaker 1 (01:18:23):
So here's yeah, here's what she said happened. She said
back on January seventh. This is look, by the way,
this is from two thousand and seven when it happened.
They just recently threw her charges out. On January seven,
two thousand and seven, she said her house, she was
doing laundry in the basement around three pm when she
heard her husband, Todd Yell, let out a scream. She

(01:18:46):
ran upstairs to find their living room engulfed in flames.
She said she couldn't get to Todd from where she
emerged from the basement because it was a wall of
flames between her and her husband, so she panicked. She
was able to get out the front door with no
shoes or cell phone, She said, when Todd didn't follow,
she jumped into the family's van to run.

Speaker 2 (01:19:08):
To get help.

Speaker 1 (01:19:11):
But just as she was leaving, Linda said she suddenly
saw Todd through the driver's side window. I'm screaming at him,
get in the van, Get in the van. He won't
get in the van, she says. She jumped out of
the van to try to help him, yelling at him
to lay down. I don't know if he's engulfed in
flames or what. So I and and I can't touch him,

(01:19:34):
so she said, I get back in the van. I
couldn't see him, so I spin the tires out to
get out of there and ended up running them over.
What are the talking points I know the media doesn't
really like to get into. This is the unaccompanied miners,
which were a big issue right when Trump was throwing
kids in cages that were designed by Obama. They' s
talked that, you know, they talked about oh, they're losing

(01:19:55):
the kids. And then we come to find out that
during the Biden administration, so three hundred thousand unaccompanied minors
made their way off into the ethos of the country,
and all of a sudden it wasn't such a big deal. Well,
one of the priorities that the Trump administration said that

(01:20:15):
they were working on this time around is locating the
unaccompanied migrant children, and they have announced that as of
I guess the end of last week, they have been
successful in locating twenty two thousand, six hundred and thirty
eight unaccompanied migrant children. So that's good ross, that's a
good thing, right, these kids, you don't know what's going on,

(01:20:38):
what's happening with them. So even though it's they haven't
found them all, finding and being able to figure out,
you know, administratively, what you're going to do to make
sure these kids are you know, not not in some
horrible situation, that's pretty good.

Speaker 3 (01:20:53):
That's a win. Only twenty seven were dead, so.

Speaker 2 (01:20:58):
There's that.

Speaker 1 (01:21:00):
Yeah, that ended up as a bit of a footnote
in some of the reporting there. Trump admiind finds twenty two,
six and thirty eight on accompanied migrant children twenty seven
of them were dead having been found dead by murder,
drug overdose, overdose, or suicide. That statistically far outpaces what

(01:21:28):
twenty two thousand just in the normal course of things.
So obviously what has happened is some of these kids
clearly have been put in these very dangerous situations, which
then you know, created the drug situation, murder perhaps as
part of participating in some of the gang operations, and

(01:21:50):
suicide just really really sad stuff, man, And I did
not appreciate the glossing over that I saw some of
the news outlets doing about this, because this goes back
to the same conversation we have when some illegal immigrant
drunk driver decides to hit somebody and kill people out
on the road. They're like, well, look, it just as

(01:22:11):
easily could have been an American, which is true, it
could have, but we know for the one hundred percent
certainty it would not have been the person who did
it had we enforced immigration and they not been allowed
into the country. So I'm sorry, save your crap excuse here.
Do we know that the twenty seven miners who did

(01:22:33):
come into this country unaccompanied and in some cases for
very exploitive purposes, Do we know that they wouldn't have
died had they remained in their country. We don't, but
we know they wouldn't have died here. And I would
be willing to bet that perhaps some of the situations
that these kids found themselves in contributed to what happened

(01:22:58):
and their eventual demise, because, as I've explained, in situations
like what I saw within the Somali community, where they
were presenting, people in Somalia would essentially present as a
couple with kids, a married couple with kids, and that
would give them priority to immigrate to the United States.

(01:23:20):
They'd get here and then everyone would just part ways,
and the kids, in many cases were orphans that were
essentially used, And so you had kids that were essentially
being abandoned in the middle of winter in Minneapolis. And
if you think that's the only place that takes place
that I got a bridge to sell you. It's really

(01:23:41):
nice bridge. It's got pumpkin spice on it.

Speaker 2 (01:23:43):
You're to love it. Absolute lunacy.

Speaker 1 (01:23:48):
All right eight eight eight nine three four seven eight
seven four our phone number here on the show Boy.
We have a lot of listeners that are feel that
I'm being unf air to pumpkin spice. If you'd have
just kept pumpkin spice and pumpkin pies and coffee, we
wouldn't be having these conversations.

Speaker 3 (01:24:08):
But you couldn't help yourself.

Speaker 1 (01:24:09):
You had to put it in salmon and then traumatize
our poor listener had to go see it at food lying.

Speaker 3 (01:24:18):
So I don't want to hear it.

Speaker 1 (01:24:22):
I love this story right here. Hang on, so a
team of biologists. All right, let me give you your
little background. The process by which they reintroduced wolves into
Yellowstone I remember when I was a kid, was possibly
one of the most controversial things that ever happened in

(01:24:44):
the old Wyoming News there.

Speaker 3 (01:24:47):
And Wyoming and Montana for that matter.

Speaker 1 (01:24:49):
The absolute freak out on the part of ranchers because
not only were you going to put in the top
predators when it comes to calves and cow and sheep
for that matter, you were going to put this apex
predator back in there. They were under such tight restrictions
that even if you walked out and the whole family

(01:25:10):
of wolves is dining on your best stock, you really
couldn't do anything.

Speaker 2 (01:25:16):
But they did it.

Speaker 1 (01:25:17):
They did it, and it was very successful, and then
it expanded and they regroup populations in Idaho to the
point where now you can hunt them or they're going
through the process of that. People are freaking out, even
though that is a preferred method of wildlife management at
that according to the Bureau of Land Management and Game
and Fish. So they're trying to find ways to mitigate

(01:25:41):
wolves so that they stay away from the cattle. And
apparently the new thing is drones that blast Hollywood movie
clips and heavy metal and then they chase the wolves
around with it. Team of biologists working on what they
call the ACDCOD, which includes a drone that flies around

(01:26:03):
blasting Thunderstruck, which I have a question. Thunderstruck is an
amazing song.

Speaker 2 (01:26:08):
What if the wolves dig on it? Man? I mean,
that's pretty cool. Though. I'd like that to follow myself around.
I'd be pretty neat.

Speaker 3 (01:26:16):
Can you imagine you just got your own walk on
song everywhere you go in somewhere.

Speaker 2 (01:26:19):
Yeah, it's like, you know, you're walking around suddenly it
sounds like Iron Man's coming your way, you know what
I mean? Yes, I got pumped.

Speaker 3 (01:26:26):
Thunderstrucks of Me what a great song?

Speaker 5 (01:26:28):
Man.

Speaker 2 (01:26:28):
You know, you just feel so pumped as soundtrack of
your life.

Speaker 1 (01:26:32):
Although I think they're missing some stuff because also they said,
in addition to Thunderstruck, they have Scarlet Johanson clips. What
do you mean Scarlet Johanson clips? Think of all of
the scary stuff you could blast at wolves to get
them out of there, and you're using Scarlet Johansson and
Adam Driver dialogue.

Speaker 3 (01:26:51):
The wolves are gonna think we're cowards?

Speaker 2 (01:26:53):
Man from what movie? Marriage Story? I didn't see it. Yeah,
I know what that is.

Speaker 1 (01:26:59):
Yeah, yeah, i'd said, probably some chick flick. Whatever you're
blasted chick flicks and the wolves, why don't you Devilwar's
Prodder or whatever that movie is.

Speaker 3 (01:27:11):
No, let's get some.

Speaker 2 (01:27:12):
Let's get some.

Speaker 1 (01:27:13):
You how many great scary movie lines that are out there?
How about you get one that chases with Liam Neeson
from taking I think those wolves would be intimidated by
a certain set of skills.

Speaker 2 (01:27:25):
What do you think? I think?

Speaker 10 (01:27:26):
So?

Speaker 2 (01:27:27):
I got a drone system set up around the perimeter
of my house and so, yeah, yeah, step on my
property and you you get aggressive. These drones fly down
and they just spit out lines from Joe Dirt at you.
It's pretty intimidate. Who's that scared away? Does him listen
all the firecrackers.

Speaker 3 (01:27:46):
Huh, I got an idea.

Speaker 1 (01:27:49):
All right, ready, Ross, you got my new drone system
step on my property. It's just Rick Flair woo's at you.

Speaker 2 (01:27:55):
I mean, you're not going to mess with that.

Speaker 1 (01:27:56):
You know, no were sneaking in here. Nob whoo whoo,
Like it almost sounds like it's siren. You're getting the
hell off of there. The line for the Scarlett Johanson
movie goes, I'm not putting up with this anymore, and
then Adam Driver responds with what, I can't talk to
people who chose that?

Speaker 2 (01:28:21):
Who chose that? I have a drone that chases me around? Yeah,
just started doing this like a few hours ago. So
like I just walk around and it flies around, just
and it belts out. Josh Allen plays at you like
touchdown drives.

Speaker 3 (01:28:36):
To people you don't even know where on the team.

Speaker 2 (01:28:38):
Just yeah, exactly.

Speaker 1 (01:28:40):
Ross just figured out that they have a tight end.
He'd never heard of who kind of touchdown yesterday? He
had to look it up. I'm like, who's number eighty five?

Speaker 2 (01:28:48):
Who's this guy? Some rookie? Yeah and Hawes or something,
I guess out of Georgia Tech. Yeah, I mean, he's
from Uti. She's a twenty four year old rookie. I
was trying to piece that together. Heah, he played at Georgia.
Attack me.

Speaker 1 (01:29:00):
He's from Salt Lake City, so I wonder if maybe
he did the little Mormon pause before you go into school,
which is not unusual, but apparently plays for the Bills.
Caught himself a touchdown, didn't Josh throw to like twelve
different people? Not touchdowns necessarily, but it's some insane number.

Speaker 2 (01:29:16):
No, he threw to himself. It was like that mister
perfect play.

Speaker 1 (01:29:19):
That was my theory that he's quickly did one of
those those speed changes like you see on America's Got
Talent with a quick change artists and then boom caught
his own touchdown. That'd be amazing. What is the crazy
stat you were telling me? Hold On Ross will be
some insane stout.

Speaker 3 (01:29:34):
Over fourth quarter? Was it fourth quarter?

Speaker 2 (01:29:36):
There's been a bunch, Yeah. I think the one you're
thinking about is his two hundred and fifty one yards
in the fourth quarter is the most by any quarterback
in the history of the NFL in a win.

Speaker 1 (01:29:46):
Yeah, which means some poor bastard lost it and threw
more than two hundred and fifty yards in the fourth
quarter and still lost.

Speaker 2 (01:29:52):
I haven't looked it up, but I'm just gonna assume
the loser is Josh Allen as well. He probably be
all right, that might make sense.

Speaker 1 (01:29:58):
I don't know, all right, So yeah, that's how we're
scaring wolves now. So but they need to work on
the content. Colonel Troutman talking about body bags, what are
you doing? Strike fear into your your enemy's heart in
this case wolves man, Uh, let's get Jeff Barr from
the Weather Channel. It'll strike fear with a weather forecast.

(01:30:20):
But not really because it's it's pretty okay.

Speaker 8 (01:30:22):
They should play some yoko ono if they want to
get rid of the wolves.

Speaker 1 (01:30:25):
Yes, the screamy yoko ono thing. Did you ever see
the video of them playing with was it Rick James
or whatever? They were on something and they had her
screeching on there and the look on Rick James face
was priceless, like, what are we doing?

Speaker 7 (01:30:42):
Yeah?

Speaker 5 (01:30:42):
There it is.

Speaker 2 (01:30:43):
Yeah, that would definitely get rid of the wolves.

Speaker 3 (01:30:46):
The problem is the wolves aren't gonna run away.

Speaker 8 (01:30:49):
Or that could just make him start howling.

Speaker 1 (01:30:51):
I don't know they're gonna, they're gonna they're gonna throw
themselves in a wood chipper.

Speaker 3 (01:30:56):
Then you got to rebuild the population again. It's a
whole problem.

Speaker 8 (01:30:58):
So anyway, what do you Yeah, got the great news
as far as our weather pattern this week, high pressures
in control and as results of dry weather, comfortable temperatures.
That's certainly the combination. As you make your way out today,
we'll see sun it hit a high seventy eight, down
into the upper fifties with a few clouds overnight. More
the same Tomorrow and Wednesday, dry mix of clouds. It's
done with highs in the upper seventies. And then Sunday
for Thursday, Friday, and for the upcoming weekend with heighs

(01:31:20):
each afternoon in the low eighties.

Speaker 1 (01:31:23):
All right, thank you appreciate it, and we'll come back
with Jeff Bellinger next. Hang on Bloomberg Update with Jeff Bellinger. Now, Jeff,
what's going on?

Speaker 2 (01:31:31):
Okay?

Speaker 12 (01:31:31):
See good morning, stock market futures pointing higher investors see
and increased likelihood the Fed will cut interest rates at
next week's policy meeting. Another multi billion dollar wireless spectrum
deal was announced today. Echo Star once again the seller SpaceX,
which owns the Starlink satellite network agreed to acquire two
blocks of spectrum licenses from EchoStar. It's a cash and

(01:31:54):
stock deal worth about seventeen billion dollars. Just last month,
AT and T agreed to pay thirty billion dollars for
other licenses held by Echo Star. This is the big
week for Apple. The company takes the wraps off the
new line of iPhones during its big event tomorrow. The
highlight is expected to be the iPhone seventeen Air, a thinner,

(01:32:15):
lighter model of the iconic device. Bloomberg's Mark German, though,
says the seventeen Air won't be the best choice for
most iPhone fans because thinness comes at a cost, shorter
battery life, and a rear camera with a single lens.
President Trump wants to find other ways of providing more
training for American workers. The President told reporters that Friday's

(01:32:37):
immigration rate at a South Korean owned electric vehicle battery
factory proves there's a need for such training. The release
of Taylor Swift's new album almost a month off, and
Target's already making plans. The retailer announced over the weekend
that about five hundred of its stores will open at
midnight October third, to start selling The Life of a Showgirl.

(01:32:58):
Target has partnered with the Swift. It's going to offer
three exclusive versions of the CD. People do what they
say they plan to do. A lot of folks will
be getting an early start on their holiday shopping. Nearly
half of the shoppers surveyed by Bankrates say they will
start their buying before the end of next month. And Casey,
a lot of moviegoers we're looking for a scare over

(01:33:19):
the weekend. The horror thriller The Conjuring Last Rites debuted
in first place. comScore reports the Warner Brothers release took
in eighty three million dollars. The horror genre has generally
done well so far this year.

Speaker 3 (01:33:33):
Casey, all right, well, thank you, Jeff, do appreciate it.
We'll talk tomorrow, sir.

Speaker 2 (01:33:37):
Sounds good. Talk to you. Then, have a good day.

Speaker 1 (01:33:39):
All right, there you go, Jeff Ellinger, Bloomberg News. And
for those of you who still think we don't talk
about the murder on the Charlotte light rail, let me
give you an update on this. Go fund me has
taken down an online fundraiser for the lunatic accused of
murdering the Ukrainian refugee on that train and Charlotte after

(01:34:02):
the Legal Defense Fund sparked outrage. Oh good lord, the
Carlos Brown Junior, a career criminal with fourteen arrests, put
him right back on the street every time with you.
I think he did end up doing a short stint,
but for the most part, just catch a release. I

(01:34:22):
