Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Just watching capitalism at work here. Oh I'm sorry, now,
this doesn't have anything to do with capitalism. I'm just
watching lunatics punch other lunatics and a Costco over U
shopping cart. Okay, wait, Costco's not gonna run out.

Speaker 2 (00:22):
Let's see here. It was there.

Speaker 3 (00:26):
There was there something in the cart.

Speaker 1 (00:31):
Nope, nope, nope, just somebody wanted somebody's cart in the Costco.
All right, well it seems like a good enough reason.
I'll tweet that story out here and just say you
a few minutes as I literally saw it, just as
we were getting rolling this morning, Oh all right, coming up,

(00:53):
all of a sudden we have we have a guy
who did it?

Speaker 2 (00:56):
Who done it?

Speaker 1 (00:57):
I guess the Palisades Fire. The whole thing was like
all just out of nowhere. Man, I'm just sitting there,
you know, kind of coming through Twitter, and then all
of a sudden, they're like big press conference in California
coming up. We caught the guy, we got the firebug man,

(01:18):
or the dude who started a fire that became the
Palisades fire. And honestly, I don't know if I even
realized that they thought it was anything more than like
a hobo camp runneth over. But nah, there's a weird
backstory with this dude, So let's just go ahead and

(01:38):
get right in there.

Speaker 4 (01:39):
We are announcing the arrest of twenty nine year old
Jonathan Grinderneckt for igniting a fire that ultimately burned down
the Palisades earlier this year, killing twelve people, destroying more
than sixty eight hundred structures, both homes and businesses, and
damaging over a thousand more buildings. The complaint, unsealed today,

(02:01):
charges the defendant with destruction of property by means of fire,
a felony that carries a mandatory minimum five year federal
prison sentence and is punishable by up to twenty years
in federal prison. The defendant was arrested yesterday on a
federal criminal complaint near his Florida residence, and he's expected

(02:23):
to make his initial appearance today in the federal court
in Orlando, Florida. I stress that the complaint contains allegations,
and every defendant is presumed innocent until proven guilty in
a court of law.

Speaker 1 (02:37):
Okay, all right, so we got Florida man who is
arrested for California fires, And yeah, I didn't play the
Florida Man thing. I just eh, I don't know here,
But explain it to me, mister prosecutor. Dude, explain okay,
so what was he? Did he not put a cigarette out?

(03:00):
Does he have like his backdraft? His favorite movie? But
he's mad that they win? I don't, I mean, explain
it to me, please.

Speaker 4 (03:09):
Allegations in the affidavit are supported by digital evidence, including
the defendants chat ChiPT prompt of a dystopian painting showing
in part a burning forest and a crowd fleeing from it.

Speaker 3 (03:24):
Okay, wait, hold on?

Speaker 2 (03:26):
Are we.

Speaker 1 (03:27):
Are we to be held accountable for everything we've had
AI render for us now?

Speaker 3 (03:32):
Cuz Roz.

Speaker 1 (03:34):
I don't know about you, buddy, but like my Google
search history, I don't want people seeing everything I've ever made.
AI make you know what I'm saying. That's not because
there's context to stuff, right. I don't actually want giant
Aliens to open the blackwater tank of their UFO dumping

(03:58):
it directly into Lambeau feet so it runneth over. But
there might be a photo of that that was rendered once.
So what hat am I on the hook? If you know,
like the Dave Matthews Band of aliens flies by.

Speaker 3 (04:16):
I hope you have more than that. Tell me more.

Speaker 4 (04:18):
That's from his chat gpt uh those That's an image
he produced a few months before the fire started.

Speaker 2 (04:25):
It shows the city being burnt there.

Speaker 4 (04:29):
The allegations are further supported by the defendant cell phone,
his false statements to law enforcement, and his behavior during
the Lochman fire, which defendant is charged with maliciously starting
shortly after midnight on New Year's Day of this year,
and which eventually became the Pali States Fire.

Speaker 3 (04:49):
Okay, no, no, this is what this is what I wanted. Okay,
all right.

Speaker 1 (04:54):
So also Ross rendered me in a sombrero with a mustache.
So there's that again. If we're being held accountable for
AI stuff, all right? So what did he do? Why
did he go to cat? What's happening? What happened?

Speaker 4 (05:14):
The day out, Rinderneck returned to Pacific Palisads after working
the evening shift as an Uber driver. Two of his
passengers told law enforcement that he appeared agitated and angry.

Speaker 5 (05:26):
That night.

Speaker 4 (05:27):
After dropping off a passenger in Pacific Palisades, Rinderneck parked
his car and tried and failed to contact a former friend.
He exited the car walked up a nearby trail, took
iPhone videos at a nearby hilltop, and listened to a
rap song whose music video including objects being lit on fire.

(05:50):
The defendant had listened to this song and watched its
music video repeatedly.

Speaker 6 (05:54):
In the day.

Speaker 1 (05:55):
Wait, hold on, what is it?

Speaker 2 (05:58):
What?

Speaker 1 (05:58):
What song do you use to like rocky montage yourself
up before your arson?

Speaker 3 (06:07):
What is the song? What is the song?

Speaker 1 (06:11):
I mean, is it doors like by? Now that's too obvious. Oh,
they said a rap song? Well, I mean, what what
what song is that?

Speaker 2 (06:21):
Is there?

Speaker 1 (06:21):
Is there a current hot rap song on arson? Or
is it a classic?

Speaker 5 (06:28):
Like?

Speaker 1 (06:29):
Let me ask you a question. When you're done listening
to the song, are you under the impression that the
roof is intact? Or or was the roof in fact
burned in the fire. I'm trying to think of other
hip hop songs about fire. I mean, I know a
lot of fire songs, but now he had a particular

(06:55):
fiery rap song and then it has a video. These
are the clues that we have to work with because
you won't say it, sir.

Speaker 4 (07:02):
Leading up to the Lockman fire twelve minutes into the
New year, environmental sensing platforms indicated that a fire had started.

Speaker 2 (07:13):
It took the.

Speaker 4 (07:13):
Defendant several tries to contact.

Speaker 1 (07:16):
Nine to one one to report the fire.

Speaker 4 (07:18):
He fled the scene in his car, but turned around
after passing fire engines driving in the opposite direction to
fight the fire.

Speaker 2 (07:26):
To fight the fire.

Speaker 4 (07:27):
While the Lockman fire burned, the defendant walked up the
same trail from earlier that night to watch the fire
and firefighters, using his iPhone to take short videos of
the scene. Although firefighters suppressed the blaze, the fire continued
to smolder and burn underground within the root structure of

(07:48):
the dense vegetation. So that fire started on January first,
and it smoldered underground for about a week until on
January seventh, heavy wins caused this underground fire to surface
and spread above ground, causing what became known as the

(08:09):
Palisades Fire.

Speaker 1 (08:11):
Okay, all right, one Absolute, you should catch a felony
for not telling us what the song is. That's number one,
because then I think maybe it's Pitbull. Didn't Bust Rhymes
have a song called fire?

Speaker 3 (08:29):
I think he did.

Speaker 1 (08:33):
Okay, so that's number one. I imagine didn't tell me. Maybe
it was Prodigy And if it was, and this dude's
got a girlfriend. You should hope he didn't listen to
like their whole collection, because there's another song with your
name on it in there, all right. So the second
thing is, so this dude lit a fire. The fire

(08:57):
then went underground, like that town in Pennsylvania or whatever
that's been burning forever. And then a week later winds
blue underground and then it started the fire.

Speaker 3 (09:16):
I don't I'm.

Speaker 2 (09:19):
I guess.

Speaker 3 (09:20):
I mean, I'm not a I'm not.

Speaker 1 (09:21):
A forest fire expert, but I've been around a lot
of them. Just you know, when you a butt National
Forests and they have you know, lightning storm shuit, we
get a lot of fires. Okay, because some people I'm

(09:43):
not saying me, but some people I saw on the
twitters yesterday they feel like this sounds like a giant
cover up for something. And the problem is it's California,
so people are gonna believe that man after they saw her, Like,
we don't need to fill the reservoirs, we don't need
to do this clean the underbrush. No way, that's not happening.

(10:10):
We might disturb the diversity salamander or something like. It's
unfortunate that it's kind of a really weird, sketchy a
series of events, I guess with the underground smoldering secret
waiting to burn you down fire, So people are gonna

(10:33):
have some thoughts, but there you go. That's where they are,
and we don't know the song, which is very unfortunate,
all right, six seventeen. Hang on listening to rap songs
about fire or something, and then you don't tell people.
I like to go with I go with the Billy
Joel classic about fire because then if the police show

(10:55):
up and they're like, hey, hey, hey, you and your friends,
you're here. It looks like you got matches, you're filming stuff.

Speaker 3 (11:03):
Did you do this? You can you know, just literally,
you know, crank.

Speaker 2 (11:06):
It out, like sure, I don't talk to you about policeman, my.

Speaker 3 (11:14):
Lawyers, but maybe if you listen to this, then you're
good to go.

Speaker 2 (11:18):
Man.

Speaker 1 (11:19):
But I don't know. People have suggestions, but nobody knows.
So if somebody saw in the story where else it is.
I don't know why I'm so curious or what the
actual song was.

Speaker 3 (11:30):
Let me know.

Speaker 2 (11:30):
I was hearing reports yesterday that it's some weird, obscure
French rap song, which is why they didn't mention it. Oh,
of course it would be ugh.

Speaker 1 (11:41):
Ugh, why can't you just be normal? People who are
clearly not normal allegedly come on man? All right, well
that's unfortunate because you know I was waiting because then
it like the media would be required.

Speaker 3 (12:02):
Right if it was I don't know, what do I
have in the little.

Speaker 2 (12:07):
Try to think.

Speaker 3 (12:08):
I'm just like, you know, hip hop songs we have.

Speaker 2 (12:11):
If it was anybody, if it was like Alicia Keys, right,
the Girl's on fire, Like, if it was that song,
they'd have a microphone interface, like right now.

Speaker 1 (12:18):
Probably not Alicia Keys, well whoever phone? No, That's what
I'm saying. Yeah, yeah, if it was somebody they could
get a hold of who if it was Sean Kingston,
that's what I so he had that fire burning song,
Like if it's Sean king Like, isn't the dude under
house arrest anyway for something?

Speaker 2 (12:36):
That dude I think he's already or he's going to
be for like massive tax fraud? Yeah yeah yeah.

Speaker 1 (12:42):
Yeah, So like see, then you go write the easy
article where you're just like.

Speaker 3 (12:46):
Why would Sean Kingston's followers do this? Blah blah blah.

Speaker 2 (12:49):
Right, if I'm.

Speaker 1 (12:53):
Trying to if they need the country artists that are
more conservative. It's you know, I don't know everyone's politics, man,
or maybe maybe you know you blame in a Firehouse,
that weird Canadian rock band that like, for whatever reason,
your friend was all into but you didn't care about.
Did anybody else have that experience with Firehouse? Never understood

(13:15):
the appeal? Yeah, then you'd go after it. But maybe
it was Adele, doesn't it? Yeah Dell has that song?

Speaker 2 (13:25):
Right, I don't know.

Speaker 1 (13:29):
All right, people have suggestions here. When I was stationed
at Vandenburg Vanderburgh, for those who don't know, is write
a point conception there up in Long Poke, California. I
remember when I was stationed at Vandenburgh there was a
fire going for what seemed like two months. Wasn't a firefire,

(13:52):
rather it was Pete Moss smoldering after a larger fire,
and then we'd have to be on the lookout for
random flare up so windy day.

Speaker 2 (14:00):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (14:01):
Look, I mean again, I'm not saying that it's that
it's some sort of cover up, but it was like
instantaneous where people are like, this story's complicated. Plus we
don't trust any of these people in California, which I
understand that sentiment. And then immediately they're like nah, I'm like, well,

(14:21):
what are they covering up? They just secretly The theory
is they secretly wanted they couldn't kick all the rich
people off of Malibu and Pacific Palace.

Speaker 2 (14:30):
Say so, it's like eco terrorists basically.

Speaker 1 (14:34):
But within the government was a couple of the theories
I was reading yesterday. Yeah, it's like the Maui theory right, Yes,
the Maui yes, where it was intentionally burned so the
government could take control of the minerals or something in
that area.

Speaker 2 (14:48):
Well, that's why.

Speaker 3 (14:49):
That's also why they what they did to Western.

Speaker 2 (14:50):
North, right, like the lithium mines.

Speaker 1 (14:52):
Yeah, so government's great gray and then black Rock I'm
sure is in there somewhere, because they always are.

Speaker 2 (15:01):
They're like the.

Speaker 1 (15:02):
Kevin Bacon of conspiracies, man, which I guess that means
you made it right. So we're having some we're having
like callscreener hell, but just on the Rosses and so
I can take calls, but I can't see what they're about.

Speaker 3 (15:16):
So fun. I just got a gist of it. So
apparently I screwed something up hanging Mike, what's up, hey?

Speaker 5 (15:27):
Case.

Speaker 7 (15:28):
You know, I brag on you all the time. I
tell people that you're one hundred percent right on everything
you say, and then you just did something to the
last thing that just blew all.

Speaker 5 (15:38):
Of that out of the water.

Speaker 7 (15:39):
Because Firehouse is not a Canadian band. Firehouse is not
a Canadian band. They were formed in Richmond, Virginia, and
then they moved to Charlotte, North Carolina, which is where
their face out of and I just feel like you
o us all right, big hair band fans?

Speaker 2 (15:56):
Okay?

Speaker 1 (15:57):
What okay? So one, the point. The point is not
where they're from. The point is a collective of a
story that I told that you clearly didn't hear, because
I should have retold it when I was making the joke.
That is what I used to tell my buddy who
was into it. I would tell him I don't listen
to weird Canadian bands, and that would make him mad.

(16:18):
I honestly didn't know where they were from.

Speaker 3 (16:20):
So does that make does that make a big hair band?

Speaker 5 (16:25):
Guys are hurt? Man, We're hurt. Oh well, we're going.

Speaker 3 (16:27):
To change my opinion. I'm not going to change my
opinion on that.

Speaker 1 (16:30):
But to bust my buddies cohonies when we were in
high school. That's that's the direction I went so because
there there was nothing worse than your kid in Wyoming
to be something from Canada.

Speaker 3 (16:41):
It was kind of competitive.

Speaker 5 (16:42):
So maybe don't treat me bad. You didn't like that?

Speaker 7 (16:45):
No, no, okay, well I enjoyed the show case.

Speaker 5 (16:50):
Keep up to get a word.

Speaker 2 (16:51):
Brother, All right, well I appreciate you out there, all right,
all credibility lost, all that squandered in something. Yeah, it's over, man,
h Ross is like, you're screwed. Man, I don't know.
This is like when John Cena came out and Mandarin,
you know what I mean. It's the same sort of thing,

(17:13):
is it. Yeah, it's just my Cosby moment. And yes, okay, jeez,
you're gonna you're gonna look back and be like You're
gonna look back and be like that was the moment.

Speaker 1 (17:23):
Dude. He used to make Rainy so mad too, because
he you know how you just really want somebody to
get in on this music that you're in on and
you don't get the reaction that you want. Ah ah yeah, sorry, man,
just wasna I never could get into him, but I'm

(17:44):
glad you enjoyed them.

Speaker 2 (17:46):
So there's that.

Speaker 3 (17:50):
I was just thinking the same thing. Let me just
send me an email. What's with all the people?

Speaker 1 (17:54):
I just when I said to Ross off the air,
I'm like, how how like are there in Durham? Are
They're just trains like hiding behind every corner? How hard
is it? You know, there's a there's a comedian does
a whole routine. I'm gonna sound just like them, but
like you know where they're coming from. They're not a surprise.

(18:21):
ROSSI ever been surprised by a train?

Speaker 3 (18:25):
No?

Speaker 1 (18:26):
Right, You're just sitting there and then all of a
sudden it's it's zipping by you at sixty miles an
hour like five feet and you're like, holy crap, where
did that come from?

Speaker 2 (18:35):
Even in my prime years of hoboing across the country.

Speaker 1 (18:39):
Right you know what I mean?

Speaker 2 (18:40):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, with my bendle on the tracks, it
never happened, like I get down right, Yeah.

Speaker 1 (18:46):
No, I'm like, I'm like the one of those old
Native American trackers, right, if you know, if you need to,
if you need to locate trains, man, I'm your guy
here to the ground. You know I can't I can't
disclose all my techniques, but.

Speaker 3 (19:01):
If you want to hire us to be your train locator,
we'll do that for you.

Speaker 1 (19:06):
We're helping and I were very we're very good at
it too. I got maps and everything I've you know,
over the years built so uh really really really I
am your guy.

Speaker 2 (19:19):
I mean there used to really be a big industry
in this country of tying women or people to the
train tracks and the train Yeah, and I mean that
you had to have the skill of knowing when the
train was going to be there.

Speaker 1 (19:31):
Yes, yeah, if your goal, if with if we when
your evil curly mustached goal is to I'm assuming watch
this woman be eviscerated by the cowcatcher on the train.
You can't have her dying of exposure first because you
didn't check that, you know, the proper you didn't get
the train locator.

Speaker 3 (19:51):
Come on, man, and again, and I know, I just
said this.

Speaker 1 (19:55):
What a weird, what a weird part of our childhood.
The sheer number of times in cartoon form where somebody
was tied to a track by you know, the evil
dude in like our kids cartoons was crazy over the top.

Speaker 3 (20:14):
That was a constant theme.

Speaker 1 (20:17):
And then I'm like but I've never read historically where
it was like the era of time people to tracts.
I love some history like that. You know, the Salem
witch Trials were a thing. There wasn't a train track
tying people to an era of that I'm aware of.
Maybe there's some history Buff wants to correct me, like

(20:39):
how did that become a thing? How did that get
thought up? And then you have to wonder was there
some dude who worked for like Hannibarbara who had just
had some really weird fantasy and he's like, I got
I need an.

Speaker 3 (20:53):
Outlet for this, so I don't do it.

Speaker 2 (20:57):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (20:58):
Maybe it was doing it because it was the twenties,
and I don't know. These are the things I ponder.
So you don't have to You're welcome. And then well
maybe it was Maybe it was a Northeast ross. Is
that what they were doing up in the Northeast? And
that's why I don't know about this. Was there a
lot of people tied to train tracks or I don't know?

(21:20):
All Right, coming up on the show, we're gonna chat
with Stephen Kent, who is our NERD correspondent, and we
got NERD stories, don't worry about that, but like too often,
he's also just kind of our man on the ground
in DC man.

Speaker 2 (21:35):
So you know, so Steven.

Speaker 1 (21:37):
Lives up the DC ERA. Technically he lives in Virginia, right,
ross Am I correct in.

Speaker 2 (21:41):
Saying that that is correct?

Speaker 3 (21:43):
Yes, okay, I want to make sure he didn't live
in Maryland.

Speaker 1 (21:46):
So we got to talk about this lunatic who wants
to be the attorney general up there, and how I
have yet to see a single I shouldn't say that.
I'm sure there's a law. There's probably a statewide one
who's who's in a really purple district or something, But
I have yet to see anyone of note.

Speaker 3 (22:09):
Condemn this dude.

Speaker 1 (22:11):
I saw they took a shot at Pelosi. Both the
senators are on board, both Warner and Caine.

Speaker 3 (22:17):
I saw Caine.

Speaker 1 (22:17):
It's just like he said, he's sorry, and and I guess,
I mean, why wouldn't Why wouldn't they think they can
get away with it? After the Northam thing, even when
they all called for him to go away, he didn't
go away.

Speaker 2 (22:34):
So you know, that's right.

Speaker 3 (22:35):
I'd probably be up to the voters, I guess. Now,
keep in mind that this dude is running.

Speaker 1 (22:40):
To the he is not the he's not the a
g right, So this guy is wanting to come in.
What is the guy's name for RealD I can't pronounce
the current AG's name, but so that's the seed he's
going after. So there is no power of incumbency here,
but just crazy that no one will be like, yeah,

(23:02):
maybe this guy isn't the best guy to represent our party,
but that has yet to happen.

Speaker 3 (23:10):
All rights.

Speaker 1 (23:11):
As much as I as much as I hate to
feel like we're piling on on this, there are stories
coming out of U n see just left and right, man,
And ain't none of it good? In fact, when you
have to issue a statement saying, nah, everything's good, like
late in the day, because there's so much that either

(23:37):
it is fine or it's so much worse than people think.
But I'll tell you what the new reporting is. We'll
get into that. Anybody want a beluga whale?

Speaker 2 (23:49):
I guess Bros.

Speaker 1 (23:51):
Sent me the craziest story that oh sorry, we'll have
an We'll have Canada mentioned in it, just so we're clear, Okay,
So we'll we'll get into that and much more coming
up here on the CaCO Day radio programs. Ross go
to go to not the b it's the first story
up there, and retweet this Greta, Greta, she just can't

(24:17):
help herself, Okay, so she.

Speaker 3 (24:23):
I guess this is instance is instant, it doesn't matter
one of the social media. I think it's Instagram.

Speaker 1 (24:30):
She posts this graphic and it's got like barbed wire
across the top, so it's you know, it's real concentration,
campy theme, and it says the suffering of Palestinian prisoners
is not a matter of opinion, it is a fact
of systemic cruelty and dehumanization. Humanity cannot be selective, justice

(24:51):
cannot have borders. And then she includes like a little
montage of photos and in fact, let's look at these photos.

Speaker 3 (24:58):
Uh, there's a guy where there's something across his face.

Speaker 1 (25:02):
I can't tell that is oh is that there's there's
a woman who's in custody, and I guess a soldier
trying to cover the camera. But the real, the real
tug at the heartstrings is you see this man who
is absolutely emaciated, kind of crouched and he's there's he's

(25:26):
got a piece of paper stuck to the wall, which
I guess is just counting the days in captivities and
it's and there's just a dirty cot there on the ground.
It's very Oh that's a Jewish hostage. Oh okay, yeah,
that's right. That is Ivattar David. You'll know him from

(25:49):
a viral video here not long ago where he's starving
and they're forcing him to dig his own grave before
they pretend execute him.

Speaker 3 (26:01):
That's the phone.

Speaker 1 (26:03):
Think that's the photo that Greta included, Like how you
got did nobody check that? Does she have helpers? I
thought she was a genius? Am I missing something here?
I thought I was told even when she was underage,

(26:25):
that this is a a child genius.

Speaker 2 (26:29):
I'm just so happy that Eara is over of her
putting her there, you know, they put their put her
out there, like oh there's this like child savant genius
who knows everything. She's like an attack her. You can't
attack her because she's a child. While you attacking a child.
And she's like a walking encyclopedia of climate knowledge, right,
and she she's never wrong and she's always right, and
now she just continuously steps in it all the time
and she's an idiot. The flair issue, the oh, the

(26:51):
update on Friday, Ross, But I remember we talked about
how she was being held hostage and yet giving a
phone in sandwiches. Did you see the update on the
on the boats that they seized from them? No?

Speaker 1 (27:05):
Okay, all right, So they had there was three boats,
two of which are over forty feet, so you know
they could they could haul a decent amount of cargo.
So between the three boats, the three main boats, I
think there were little boats too, but three main boats
hauling relief? How many we'll go in hundreds of pounds?

(27:26):
How many hundreds of pounds of relief supplies? Do you
think between the three boats we'll give them that, we'll
give them the total of it? Do you think was
there ready for these citizens of God? Hold on, hold on,
hold on, We got to take a break. We'll play
when we come back. Why did I think we hadn't

(27:54):
hit the brake yet?

Speaker 3 (27:55):
Am I that dumb? You can just be honest with me,
Ross A dumb? I am that?

Speaker 2 (28:00):
Are you gonna play the yodeling music? Yeah?

Speaker 1 (28:02):
Yeah, yeah, yeah yeah, hold on, all right, play it.
I know the thing just skitched out on me for
a moment. Hang on, all right, here we go.

Speaker 2 (28:09):
All right?

Speaker 3 (28:09):
So in hundreds of pounds between the three ships.

Speaker 2 (28:11):
Here we go.

Speaker 1 (28:12):
Oh, I was gonna do the time, and we had
five minutes Bob, five minutes ago till break, Bob. I'm
gonna say five hundred pounds, Bob five, I'm dumb.

Speaker 2 (28:22):
Four hundred pounds of aid Bob. Okay, No, it's gonna
be gonna be a little less than for it.

Speaker 1 (28:26):
Oll Okay, there's three hundred pounds a both, not less
less less one hundred and fifty pounds of eight.

Speaker 3 (28:32):
Bo Oh, no, you're gonna.

Speaker 2 (28:33):
Have to go to one. Oh oh, that's unfortunate.

Speaker 1 (28:36):
The correct answer was zero. Oh well, normally I'm pretty close.
That was way off that time, like really off.

Speaker 2 (28:45):
Yeah, yeah, that's okay. I can't read a clock.

Speaker 3 (28:48):
Yeah, there was no.

Speaker 2 (28:49):
Eight on the boats. But did it fall into the ocean?
Did it? Did they make their cell phones and devices?

Speaker 5 (28:57):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (28:57):
No, they just know they ate it or it was
here's a theory. It was a publicity stug. Right, so
they never had any aid to deliver to Gaza.

Speaker 2 (29:08):
Correct.

Speaker 1 (29:08):
Yeah, maybe this is the aid, right, the.

Speaker 2 (29:14):
Stunt, I guess is right, getting the word out there
so other people will give their aid. Yeah, yeah, they
had no aid on the boat plural.

Speaker 3 (29:29):
Boats, but yeah, there's no aid on there.

Speaker 1 (29:33):
Go ahead, look it up. You don't have to believe me,
go look it up. I didn't see until right after
the show. I was so bad the show was over.
I'm like, ah, I tell people about this insanity, all right.
So anyway, now she's posting, she's posting people who are
hostages who look like they're being starved to death, and
it's actually an Israeli hostage who's had to dig his

(29:56):
own grave and then get mock executed. I think more
than once. Well done, absolutely well done. All Right, a
couple other things here, Well, let me just throw it.
We're gonna talk to Steven about this here in an hour.
But I think it's kind of an interesting topic anyway.

(30:18):
So you know, we've kind of documented what's going on
with Assassin's Creed. The Japan version where they decided to
go really woke, basically irritated the entire island nation of Japan.
They were literally in on Reddit where people were going

(30:38):
to criticize this. There were people who were actual Japanese
people who were pointing out that like, this is wrong,
this is wrong, who were literally getting banned from Reddit,
reddit chat rooms, because reddit threads, I guess, because they
were being critical of it and they could was like, I'm Japanese,

(31:00):
what do you want? It was an absolute nightmare the
direction they went in for what should have been a
sure win. But what's even crazier is Ubisoft I guess
for their next one in the pipeline, uh has they've
now scrapped the one they're gonna do because they're concerned
about the political it might be too political. Just to

(31:23):
show you how stupid everyone is over there, that one,
the Assassin's Creed that was canceled, would have been set
posts Civil War reconstruction US. You are a former slave
and you play that would be the character you'd play
from I have a question, who would have a problem
with that?

Speaker 2 (31:43):
Wouldn't that be?

Speaker 3 (31:44):
That would be far.

Speaker 1 (31:45):
Less like your need to want to make a black
lead character. You could have done it. Nobody would have
questioned it. You didn't have to shoehorn it into your
Japanese one. But like, who would have a problem with
that setup? Did you not see the amount of money
the Django Unchained made. That's basically the theme of that

(32:06):
Lady do this?

Speaker 2 (32:07):
In Ross's Yeah, I was about to say. One of
the greatest things in Red Dead Redemption two is when
you stumble across the kk Hay meeting like in the
middle of the night, and it's fantastic. We did it
on stream, Like suddenly you're in the middle of like
there's this meeting of idiots and you're sitting in the
bushes and you're like, there's so many things I could do.
I could throw dynamite into that group, which we did.
I could use my Rambo explosive arrows, which we did,
and that was fantastic. You can have one survivor and

(32:28):
drag him through town in your horse. Amazing.

Speaker 3 (32:30):
Oh man, I you know, I.

Speaker 1 (32:32):
Guess most people probably and count yourself lucky. Don't keep
up with the the daily happenings of a Hassan Piker
if you guys know who that is. But he's just
he's an awful person, just just a real pile of garbage.
In my humble opinion, he is a leftist influencer, but

(32:54):
also just kind of an evil dude. Like like he
he he thinks America deserved nine to eleven. And I'm
not I'm not paraphrasing him. You can go watch like
all this stuff. This is who you're dealing with, and
like he still has a big following, and they were
trying to make him the they were he was supposed

(33:16):
to be the left Joe Rogan. He just recently did
something to where I think they were like criminally somebody
was criminally going after him. And I can't remember what
the controversy was. But what is what is crazy to
me is now he apparently has finally done something where
his lunatic followers are mad at him. And it's not

(33:38):
like celebrating three thousand people dying. No, no, no, that
was fine. They were good with that, you know, justifying
some of the uh the left wing violence out there.

Speaker 3 (33:52):
That's a daily thing with him.

Speaker 1 (33:54):
No, he hit his dog with a correction caller on stream,
gave it a little zappy zippy zapp little zeust juice
and uh not yet. Look, here's the deal. When it
comes to correction callers, people are gonna have thoughts on him.
There are appropriate uses of it, But if you're gonna

(34:16):
use one, you can't just pop your pup for literally
standing up after he's been laying there for four hours,
because he's in your shot.

Speaker 3 (34:25):
And that's apparently what this guy did on Street.

Speaker 1 (34:28):
I watched it, man, like, that is a horrible use
of a correction caller there, And then he tried he
took the points off because it looks a little aggressive,
but that's what you know, if your dog is all furry.

Speaker 3 (34:40):
That's why they got.

Speaker 1 (34:41):
The metal studs on there. The points they gotta they
gotta get through the fur. He like took him off
and was holding it up and pretending like that's his collar.

Speaker 2 (34:50):
And then people were finding it on Amazon, and.

Speaker 1 (34:52):
Clearly he had covered up the scary parts of it,
but like celebrating nine to eleven and all the other
garb he's said over the years. And the thing that
made his audience mad is that he used an electric
collar on his dog, Man, and not in the way

(35:13):
that it was intended on my dad, Like that dog
is so confused, it doesn't know what's up. But that's
okay again watching people eat their own So I saw
the craziest thing.

Speaker 3 (35:27):
Ross.

Speaker 1 (35:27):
I'm sorry, man, I you know, I've been pretty blown
away just seeing the process of you and Mark he
getting ready for the new baby, finding out that four
hundred dollars strollers.

Speaker 3 (35:37):
Exist, and some of this other stuff.

Speaker 1 (35:40):
But I had no idea that you had to hire
someone to name babies now too, Why did this become
a thing.

Speaker 2 (35:47):
Yeah, you know, we haven't gone down that route.

Speaker 1 (35:50):
But for just ten thousand dollars, this woman, who I
guess is very sought after, she's very busy and up
to thirty thousand if you want to include her premium services,
she will name your baby for you. How about that
buddy Taylor Humphrey who charges parents minimum ten thousand to

(36:11):
help name their baby. Is it a whole feature on
this woman?

Speaker 2 (36:17):
What an absolute scam? Just buy a baby book.

Speaker 1 (36:21):
Man and like get you here we go?

Speaker 2 (36:24):
Yea, or take a family name?

Speaker 1 (36:27):
Well, now, hold on, hold on, that is part now
that could be very time consuming though, right because then
what do you have to do. You got to remember
your family member's names, things like that. But if you up,
if you go up to let's see what thirty thousand
gets us, because the BA the basic package, she'll just
come up with a name for you.

Speaker 2 (36:46):
But if you kick.

Speaker 1 (36:47):
Thirty thousand in, here's what you get.

Speaker 3 (36:49):
Oh okay, this is very nice, all right.

Speaker 1 (36:52):
She will identify a unique in addition to the name,
a unique name esthetic. She will do the baby named branding.
It's very important that before this child exits the you know,
the womb, that they're already under the branding. I'm so
they acquire like the URL, so you know, I got it.

Speaker 3 (37:13):
You want to own that? And who the hell knows
what else.

Speaker 1 (37:17):
Also for thirty k Ross, you'll get a genealogist consult
who will compose a list of names from old parts
of the family tree.

Speaker 3 (37:24):
That's what you just asked about.

Speaker 2 (37:26):
I mean you can do that yourself though. One of
Marky's interests is she loves doing that. Like she's big
into like family tree. She has this like ginormous family tree.
She's done all this research and her family goes back
to like the sixteen hundreds in the US.

Speaker 1 (37:38):
Yeah, my grandfather commissioned, like back in the day, aid
somebody to do want to do this, really into it
and it's really impressive. So that's part of the thirty
thousand or or and then you're ready. Then when they
think they've got the names figured out, they will. You
will be able that will. The thirty thousand will also
provide a hired think tank to this gus the options.

(38:02):
See they'll bring in a think tank for your kids options.

Speaker 2 (38:06):
This sounds like a super obviously rich thing to do.

Speaker 3 (38:09):
Yeah, she's up in New York. It's a Manhattan thing,
I guess.

Speaker 2 (38:12):
And then if you're a rich Hollywood celebrity and your
kid turns out to be trans, then you have to
go through the entire thing again.

Speaker 1 (38:19):
Right, I would think that she if for the three
thousand package, that should be a policy that's included.

Speaker 2 (38:24):
It should be right, like you know in case, Yeah,
here's the other name.

Speaker 1 (38:28):
Yeah, yeah, absolutely, dude, you know what, here's here's the deal.
I'll do this for five thousand, and I'm going to
offer you a service that's far better than this.

Speaker 2 (38:41):
All Right, you're you're gonna come up with.

Speaker 1 (38:43):
The names, and then you're gonna tell me what you
want to name your kid, and I will explain to
you the absolute torment of a nickname that the kids
at school.

Speaker 2 (38:53):
We know that is something that happens when you pick
out a name. Yeah, couples will tell you this. You'll
sit there, or it should happen. You'll sit there and
you'll come up with a name and you'll be like,
we have the perfect name. This happened a bunch of
times with us. Yeah, and Mark, you'll be like, what
about blah blah blah, And then I'm like no, because
the kids in school will call him blah blah blah,
and it's you know, it's off. You're talking.

Speaker 1 (39:12):
You're talking to the guy who was pretty I was
kind of really good with coming up with nicknames. I'm
not necessarily proud of it. I probably contributed. I was
less the bully and more of the nickname guy because
I just enjoyed it. So like, like, don't name your
kid Morgan. Just give you an example. Ross suggests Morgan.

Speaker 2 (39:32):
All right, I think the baby's name should be Morgan.
It's a male name. I think it's a great name. Yeah, yeah,
until you to high school.

Speaker 1 (39:39):
And then his name if the entirety of high school
is big m little Organ.

Speaker 2 (39:43):
Oh, it's awful. Why did we name him Morgan?

Speaker 1 (39:47):
He actually Borrio was one of our boys man too.
It's just unfortunate that his name was Morgan. So that's
that's what he went with.

Speaker 5 (39:53):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (39:54):
I could do this all day.

Speaker 1 (39:56):
This is gonna be could be five grand well spent.
You give Ross and I five. We will kick into
twelve year old us and we will we will vet
your the potential name for your child, so you know,
you don't run into a big m little Oregan Sitch
as the kids will say, or anything that rhymes with like,

(40:17):
you know what, name your kid Cooper, not for the
high school portion, but for the you know, the younger years.

Speaker 3 (40:22):
Anything that rhymes with poop.

Speaker 2 (40:23):
It's not a good idea.

Speaker 1 (40:26):
And I know there's not much you can do about
your last name except run around and tell people it's
pronounced coupper.

Speaker 3 (40:31):
But you know, you do what you do. That's that's what.
That's what. That's the service this woman's not offering.

Speaker 1 (40:39):
And uh, I'm willing to offer well, Ross and I
will offer it because, uh, you know better better two people,
Uh to creatively figure out how to make fun of
your kid so that the other kids don't have to
because then you didn't go.

Speaker 3 (40:54):
Down that name road. I'm just looking just.

Speaker 1 (40:57):
Looking at a list of your Yeah, man, Ross, there's
a whole old websites and there's an actual name for
this what's it called?

Speaker 3 (41:06):
I mean I get this parents wanting to share info
on like Reddit and whatnot.

Speaker 2 (41:10):
Here.

Speaker 3 (41:13):
Yeah, that's crazy. There's just there's just.

Speaker 1 (41:18):
Thread after thread after thread. I don't here's a thousand
names youuld name your k How many names are there?

Speaker 2 (41:29):
Anny who? Alright?

Speaker 1 (41:30):
Seven fifteen and Cacoday radio program phone number eight eight
eight nine three four seven eight seven four.

Speaker 3 (41:38):
What is this? Boston Paul named that kid for twenty
five hundred?

Speaker 2 (41:43):
All right?

Speaker 1 (41:44):
Well, all right, parents, So Boston Paul's offering cutright service
if you want your child named one of the four
names the boys were allowed to have in South Boston.
There you go, that's what Boston Paul can do for you. Well,
you can pick one of the male Saints' names. It's

(42:09):
just Boston Paul flipping through the Old Testament until you
tell him to stop for the New Testament.

Speaker 3 (42:18):
All right, tell me when to stop.

Speaker 1 (42:20):
Your boy's name is Paul? All right, there we go.
Isn't that a coincidence? Your name's Paul? I'm kidding, but
not really. Seven sixteen, Hang onut Colorado Representative Lauren Bobert?
Is she run it for re election? And I don't
know if this is the entirety of her campaign strategy.

Speaker 5 (42:42):
But.

Speaker 2 (42:46):
Maybe it's interesting. That's for darn sure.

Speaker 5 (42:51):
All right?

Speaker 1 (42:51):
So what is he? What is her focus? In an
email Monday addressed to Conservatives fund raise, an email, Bobert
question the existence of aliens to demand transparency her and
demanded transparency from the government about UFOs. So she's her.

Speaker 3 (43:10):
Reelection campaign is aliens. She probably get reelected what man.

Speaker 1 (43:22):
In an In the email she wrote, She wrote, for decades,
our government has shrouded the truth about UFOs and a
veil of secrecy. Strange crafts have been spotted soaring through
our skies to find the laws of physics. She breakes
reference to orbs and some of the Navy stuff there,
and then at the end it says our aliens real

(43:44):
and then ask supporters to donate money.

Speaker 3 (43:48):
Look, how do I put this?

Speaker 1 (43:55):
If Lord Bobert wants to campaign on making or more transparent,
I'm here for it.

Speaker 2 (44:02):
So doesn't she live in like a really tight district
she barely won last time.

Speaker 8 (44:08):
Uh?

Speaker 1 (44:10):
Yeah, they they did move her, But I I why
do I think that they ended up having to redo
those again or something?

Speaker 2 (44:18):
I can't remember, Like I remember that being one of
the results where it was just like it played out
for a long time. Yeah, it was like two weeks now.

Speaker 1 (44:25):
They jammed They jammed her up against some Aspen City
council guy and that she I mean, she ended up
beating him.

Speaker 3 (44:31):
I don't know that it was that close.

Speaker 1 (44:33):
I think it was a lot closer than it had
been where she used to because she used to represent
up by a rifle and whatnot. And that's kind of
that's it. That's its own part of Colorado. Uh, I
mean obviously physically it is, but it's the northern Colorado.
When you get on the other side of the Front Range,
there is very it feels like Utah. There's there's a

(44:55):
lot of Mormons up there, but like and and it's
it's so it's a combination of you and it really.

Speaker 2 (45:00):
Is old West Colorado.

Speaker 3 (45:03):
It basically should be part of Wyoming.

Speaker 5 (45:04):
Man.

Speaker 1 (45:04):
In fact, a bunch of those counties tried to they
tried to come to Wyoming. I mean, not not that
the Colorado would allow it, but like those counties wanted out.
They wanted to secede to to Wyoming. And of course
the Wyoming politicians, to make fun of the Libs in
Colorado was like, sure, yeah, they were doing like the
fifty first state thing. I still remember that.

Speaker 2 (45:26):
Maybe they did the research and they you know, they
looked down and they said, this is the biggest issue
in this district. The ets.

Speaker 1 (45:33):
Yeah, hey, man, they're abducting all the voters, right, and
you know that's uh, that's why you gotta get gotta
get aft.

Speaker 2 (45:42):
Don't even start with what they do to the cattle
out there.

Speaker 1 (45:45):
I mean, as somebody who raised cattle find one perfectly
quartered in the middle of a field with no blood.

Speaker 3 (45:51):
Very disconcerting, very disconcerting. Let me grab a call here, Colorado.
What's up, hi?

Speaker 6 (46:00):
We're listening to that amazing story about the lady making
thirty grand off of people to name their babies. Yeah,
and then I think that your pitt is way better,
because I think that would be more valuable personally. But
my son and I were driving to school and I'm
currently pregnant and he hates the name that we have
in the running for the baby, so he wanted us

(46:23):
to call to see if you can come up with
a good nickname so that I will be convinced to
change it and find something better.

Speaker 1 (46:31):
So you want me to destroy this thing you've worked on? Surefire?
What's the name?

Speaker 5 (46:35):
Absolutely?

Speaker 6 (46:37):
So far we have Hayden and that's the character from
Silverado played by Kevin Klein.

Speaker 2 (46:43):
Hayden.

Speaker 6 (46:43):
Okay, Hayden yep, And it would be Peyden Christopher. I
said we should do Peyden full so that would be hilarious,
but the Grandmars don't like that idea. But anyway, so, yeah,
his name is Payden.

Speaker 3 (46:56):
You're nicknamed the thing.

Speaker 6 (46:58):
Well, that's yeah, that's what I do already.

Speaker 1 (47:01):
You've already, you've already answered yourself something there, and you
got to decide whether you're comfortable with that or not.

Speaker 6 (47:07):
I think it's hilarious, but that's my sense of humor.
Mikey talk here, go ahead, buddy. Hey, I think Dutch
is way better. He thinks Dutch. I don't think so.

Speaker 1 (47:17):
Is your Well I'm sorry, is your sibling gonna be
a eighteen hundreds gold panner from like the Yukon or
what apparently.

Speaker 6 (47:26):
He's inspired by? Was it Red Dead too? Yeah, so
that's not happening today.

Speaker 2 (47:32):
I was gonna ask Ross that. Yeah, but Dutch is
like a psychotic villain. Yeah, you don't.

Speaker 6 (47:38):
I don't like go down that road. Yeah, I'm good.

Speaker 3 (47:41):
You might as well name your kid Jason Vorhees, I
mean for all.

Speaker 2 (47:45):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (47:47):
Yeah, so I think we're good. I think he lost
this battle.

Speaker 1 (47:52):
Between those two. Yeah, yeah, no, you can you take
the w mom. You're you're good to go.

Speaker 2 (47:56):
So yeah, all.

Speaker 9 (47:58):
Right, I appreciate that you guys have a good It's
pretty interesting when you just you really know nothing about
somebody's politics or thoughts just because the reason you know
him is because they're like a sports icon of when
you were growing up.

Speaker 1 (48:12):
You know, one of one of the best guy, one
of the best rushers ever, Eric Dickerson. Right, we can
agree on that. I mean, he's in the Hall of Fame,
so uh, with with that in mind, I didn't know
anything about how Eric Dickerson thought any of this stuff.

Speaker 3 (48:29):
So like he got the TMZ.

Speaker 1 (48:31):
Treatment coming into La X and they asked him about
the bad Bunny thing, and uh, let's just say he's
got some thoughts.

Speaker 3 (48:38):
I'm not surprised, and I've filble to suffer like you.

Speaker 2 (48:41):
You know, that's how they have the little craft exact.

Speaker 10 (48:44):
They they good guys, they not, but you know bad
mine keepers have bad miney crunk.

Speaker 2 (48:49):
He's from Puerto Rico to Puerto Rico. You don't want
to if you want to, do you ask.

Speaker 1 (48:53):
Keeps some of that apparently, well, Puerto Rico is part
of the US.

Speaker 11 (48:56):
I know you don't want you don't like you ask
I mean, don't.

Speaker 5 (48:59):
I'm in the.

Speaker 1 (48:59):
Phone, all right, there you go. Dickerson is sixty five.
Man just has no time for that. And he kept going.

Speaker 2 (49:08):
About the United States. You know, I'm come to the US.
I love my country. You don't like the United States?
Get the inside.

Speaker 10 (49:13):
They don't come over there.

Speaker 11 (49:14):
Do you think the NFL kind of puts this in
place so people have conversations to make controversy.

Speaker 12 (49:19):
It seems like sometimes.

Speaker 5 (49:20):
They might do that, right, The NFL.

Speaker 8 (49:24):
Is crooked them.

Speaker 2 (49:24):
They live a federal though way crooking ever.

Speaker 5 (49:28):
So I mean, I'm not I'm not NFL.

Speaker 2 (49:31):
They don't care about the players, you know, from the top.

Speaker 8 (49:37):
No, I know, it's we know that elites all over
pretty corrupt, right, money makes people corrupt, would say ultra corrupt.

Speaker 1 (49:44):
By the way, the guys who TMZ hires to be
the airports taker out there, that's somebody's job, man.

Speaker 2 (49:50):
But and he also they sound so slimy.

Speaker 1 (49:55):
I was just gonna say, man, they are the trolliest leadiness.
It's kind of scummiest interviewers on the planet. They're pushing
them for what they're trying to do, right, They're pushing
him in a direction to get a response, right, and
as soon as they saw Dickerson was willing to crap
on his former employer, the dude's just like, all right,
keep feeding him a little more because Dickerson don't care. Right,

(50:17):
he's of that era where it did you know, He's
gonna get what he's gonna get, and he's making a
lot more money doing golf tournaments. And I mean, that's
what these guys do, man, And I mean I'm not
knocking him. I told you one of the one of
the craziest. He's still alive, so I have to be careful.
I tell this story. There's a there's an NFL former

(50:38):
NFL quarterback that the dude is like all he does
is like mid level golf tournaments that can pay him like,
you know, five to ten thousand for appearance, and then
he'll come out, you know, basically be the big star
out there.

Speaker 2 (50:58):
That's the draw.

Speaker 1 (50:58):
Its usually there's a undraising component to it. That's all
this dude does. And he's not alone. There's quite a
few of these guys. The difference was is that guy.
I was talking to one of the guys who was
an organizer for a tournament where they brought this dude
in that we happen to be tied into not at
this station and not when I work for this company,
but during his stint for the company I worked for before,

(51:22):
and they brought him in and I was talking to
the organizer after. He's like, yeah, no, it was great, man.
We hit the It was a fundraiser for charity and
all that, and he goes. But what was weird is
he got here and he demanded to know where the
hookers were.

Speaker 3 (51:37):
He he's telling me the story.

Speaker 1 (51:39):
I guess this guy just goes to tournaments and he's
just like, hey, by the way, I'm gonna want this.

Speaker 2 (51:44):
That's it.

Speaker 1 (51:45):
That's all he does. So you know, these guys give
zero f's if they're having to go out and slog that,
especially Dickerson, who's, uh, you know, a Hall of Famer man. Yeah,
there we go, Yeah, sixty five Southern Methodists used that.
Dude is sixty five sixty five. He's in fantastic shape

(52:08):
for a guy who used to get just absolutely. I mean,
Dickerson was a hard runner, man.

Speaker 2 (52:14):
Dude.

Speaker 1 (52:14):
Have you have you seen there's a couple of things
and stuff floating around. Somebody was showing the opening montage
for Monday Night football from like this, you know, the eighties,
early eighties, and somebody and this is correct, it's got
it's gonna montage with the music.

Speaker 3 (52:29):
Hey, here's you know, here's who's gonna be calling it.

Speaker 1 (52:32):
And there's like ten different quick little cuts of plays.

Speaker 2 (52:37):
Every single one of those.

Speaker 1 (52:38):
Plays is some guy essentially leading with his helmet, flipping
a dude in the air. Every single one would be like,
you'd get thrown out of the game. Now, every single
little clip cut in that opening sequence would have would
you would get you a penalty of fine and perhaps

(52:58):
his suspension.

Speaker 3 (53:01):
And that was That's just how it used to be.

Speaker 1 (53:03):
So for somebody of that era, in the case of Dickerson,
to look that uninjured is actually even more impressive because
these guys could just murder each other back then.

Speaker 2 (53:14):
Well, a lot of these, like you know, former pro athletes,
they get older and you know, their body sort of
goes away, right, you see, like Charles Barkley or even
even Michael Jordan. Now right, this guy looks like he
could play tomorrow.

Speaker 1 (53:26):
Yeah, yeah, absolutely, That's why I was surprised when I
saw the sixty five there. But yeah, he don't care,
mancuse he knows, he knows what he knows that this
is about money. I'm sure that maybe there's some politics
in there. At the end of the day, this is money.

Speaker 2 (53:42):
This is the.

Speaker 1 (53:43):
NFL wanting to be bigger than soccer worldwide. And that's fine,
be aspirational, but I just there's a lot of fans
that are getting really upset, and I fear it will
turn into where where I don't know, maybe it won't,
but remember when NASCAR got full got big in their

(54:03):
breeches there in the nineties, and they're like, ah, there's
so much money here if we just target people who
weren't the core foundational people who loved Nascar, and then
they just kind of a lot of people that were
diehards that just felt they were kind of abandoned by
NASCAR because they wanted to go out and get these
key demos and they want to make it a hip
for this. You know, people in the cities to root

(54:24):
for NASCAR, and they did grow it, but then they
turned it into this other thing. And I've had many
many accum I don't purport to be the biggest NASCAR fan,
but I'm sure if you lived in North Carolina for
five minutes, you've probably met somebody who is, and a
lot of them share that opinion. I just expressed all right,

(54:45):
seven forty one here on the Cacoda radio program. Let
me just play this because one other cut audio I
want to play for you. So Nick Sworter is one
of these citizens I don't say citizen journalists, but you
know he does work necessarily for as an independent journalist.

Speaker 3 (55:03):
And he's kind of like.

Speaker 1 (55:03):
Andy Know and that Haley whatever her name is, who
basically their bread and butter is going and reporting on
what Antifa was destroying at that moment. So you know,
he's a known commodity, just like Andy no Is. And
they had an event at the White House yesterday. Andy
Know was there and this Nick Sorder dude. And the

(55:24):
reason was the Sorder was the guy who was arrested
by police when he was clearly looking to be the
victim there of Antifa violence.

Speaker 2 (55:33):
The whole thing was crazy.

Speaker 1 (55:34):
It was in Portland. They were going to charge him,
they said they weren't now and so Trump invited Sorder
and Know and a couple other citizen journalists to talk
to him up at the White House. And Pam Bondi
was there and everybody was there, and in Sordi's case,
they were literally they were burning a flag. Then they
were assaulting him with it. He grabbed it. That's why they,

(55:57):
I guess, arrested him for grabbing the thing he's being
assaulted with. And he actually brought the damn thing. And
here is his rehacit or his exchange with Trump.

Speaker 12 (56:07):
So thank you guys so much for taking this seriously.
And and President Trump, you mentioned that flag. So remember
you put out a truth right after I took this
flag from that from that man that was burning.

Speaker 2 (56:23):
It in the streets.

Speaker 12 (56:23):
Do you know who he is?

Speaker 10 (56:25):
Oh?

Speaker 12 (56:25):
Yeah, I know exactly who it is.

Speaker 8 (56:26):
So why don't you give it to Pam, give it
to the attorney general and let's start the prosecutions.

Speaker 2 (56:32):
Yeah.

Speaker 12 (56:33):
I actually have a second flag that he tried to
burn as well, so I have two of them.

Speaker 3 (56:37):
So what happened when that flag started burning?

Speaker 11 (56:39):
Everyone went crazy and that's when it started, when they
started burning the flag. So thank you if you could
give the information at a big way. Absolutely, and at
least that horrible night made you famous.

Speaker 12 (56:51):
I gotta tell I got a text from the President
of the United States, so I appreciate that.

Speaker 1 (56:55):
Okay, Yeah, it's interesting what Trump did there. I don't
know if you heard the way that he worded that.
He said, everyone went crazy when they started burning that flag.
That's what kicked it off. And that is because remember
his executive order with the flag thing where it has
to be. It has to then be a call to
action or a call to violence that then follows. I mean,

(57:16):
he's literally wording it how his executive order reads, which
I understand, but to remember to do it in that
moment leads me to the conclusion that he might have
known that flag was there already. But that's okay. And
then of course people lost their minds as they do.
But raced Agent is here to uh, bringing back to

(57:39):
reality with great weather maybe.

Speaker 3 (57:41):
Oh he's on the phone.

Speaker 2 (57:42):
Okay, I'm sorry.

Speaker 1 (57:44):
Oh what a day to day there's mister raced Aga.
How you doing, sir, I'm good. How were you?

Speaker 2 (57:52):
You know.

Speaker 3 (57:54):
That's all you get from me today?

Speaker 4 (57:55):
Ah?

Speaker 5 (57:56):
You know, so all right, Well you're getting good stuff
from me for the most And I would say this
is what I told Starling. I said, for areas to
the east, there's kind of a line drawn after Saturday
for where the rain and where the wind's going to
be a certainly think out in the coast. More problems

(58:16):
for the outer banks with rain and wind, beach erosion
that's going to continue in flooding. We'll see how far
west the rain does get. We do have showers now
for the Triangle in the forecast, try it may escape
the rainfall Saturday night into Sunday. Either way, it's gonna
beautiful until then, so cool mornings. Tomorrow probably the coolest morning,
although this morning we're in the low fifties even from

(58:39):
upper forties to the north, with sunshine later out or
just above seventy degrees. Same thing tomorrow in the forties
to start upper sixties, near seventy in the afternoon. And
then for the Triangle on Saturday, maybe some showers into
Saturday night, heavier rain, dusty winds east, and we'll get
a little bit breezy locally, and then by Sunday Monday,
we shoots back in the sunshine at highs in the seventies.

(58:59):
So there's that window wherever this low and potential northeaster
develops that they'll be rain and then a sharp cutoff
to where there won't. So that cutoff right now is
probably the triangle with the rain getting heavier and the
wind's getting stronger to go out east toward the coast,
and it does look like another event where we've had
flooding already just from this onshore flow out to our
east where it's just gonna get a little bit worse

(59:20):
before it gets better. So not a name system, it
doesn't look like it anyway, but it's been rough even
though we haven't had a landfalling tropical system. For our
friends out in the Outer Banks, who do you like tonight?

Speaker 6 (59:32):
Uh?

Speaker 5 (59:34):
Who's tonight?

Speaker 1 (59:35):
I forget Eagles?

Speaker 5 (59:36):
Eagles? Yeah, I mean I gotta go to with the Eagles.
I think Barkley is playing. I've got them on my
fantasy team, but you got you gotta take the Eagles.
I think Jack's Dart's going to be a stud double sword. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (59:52):
That's probably the reason the Eagles lost last week is
they didn't give the ball man.

Speaker 5 (59:57):
Right what six carries? I think he had?

Speaker 2 (01:00:00):
Yeah?

Speaker 5 (01:00:01):
So yeah, heavy heavy Barkley Giants defense is okay. Dart,
I think he's gonna be great, good to great, but
he's not playing there.

Speaker 3 (01:00:16):
Do you see they cut to her in the stands?

Speaker 5 (01:00:19):
Oh yeah, oh, yeah, well, yeah, they'll do that.

Speaker 3 (01:00:22):
Good jeans, good jeans.

Speaker 5 (01:00:23):
Yep, he does, he does, Thank.

Speaker 3 (01:00:25):
You, sir, appreciate it. Yep, there you go. Seven forties.

Speaker 1 (01:00:28):
What they did they kept cutting to his mom, to
Jackson Dart's mom when his debut two weeks ago, like
to the point where it was kind of creeping out
the other play by play guy. Come on, that was
that was the only entertaining part of the game.

Speaker 5 (01:00:44):
Man.

Speaker 1 (01:00:44):
If I guess unless you're a Giants fan, then you
were probably happy. All right, seven forty seven Coming up
in eight oh five, we will chat with Stephen Kent
our NERD correspondent, but also he lives up DC areas
in Virginia, so we got to talk about what's going
on with the uh the would be age up there
with his crazy murder at alleged text.

Speaker 3 (01:01:07):
I guess it's not alleged.

Speaker 1 (01:01:08):
She acknowledged there is, but like nobody having a problem
with it within his party is just that is that's nuts, man.

Speaker 2 (01:01:20):
So we'll get into that.

Speaker 1 (01:01:21):
The assassin's creed thing I mentioned earlier, just because I
think that that's rather interesting, and a couple other things.

Speaker 3 (01:01:28):
A couple of other things.

Speaker 1 (01:01:29):
By the way, Ross do you think we're in full
takedown Taylor Swift mode? Because you know, you know how
our society is build, build the stars up, and then tear.

Speaker 3 (01:01:38):
Them back down.

Speaker 2 (01:01:39):
I mean, I know she's definitely pissed off a segment
of her fandom. Yeah, just by having the nerve of
dating a big you know, like Travis Kelcey, right, like
a white tute athlete. How dare she? I guess that's
frowned upon for some reason?

Speaker 3 (01:01:54):
Yeah, super racist?

Speaker 2 (01:01:55):
Wasn't Kelsey's ex?

Speaker 3 (01:01:56):
Bless some black girl?

Speaker 1 (01:01:57):
I think it was because I remember, I remember showing
video like pictures because she's also like an Instagram model
or something, and they were showing pictures of Kelsey and
he was dressed like Malibu's most honest I.

Speaker 2 (01:02:11):
Saw that too. They were doing the side by side comparison.
And that does tend to happen when you know, you
date certain people, right you Yeah, a lot times you change,
and especially after marriage. Yeah yeah yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:02:21):
So anyway, I'm just wondering if they're gonna if they're full, like,
let's tear her down because she was you know, she
and K Pop if you were mean online, they're her
fan basees and like those were those people were nuts?
How dare you anything critical? And now it's like Taylor
Swiss fans or now are wanting her to clarify whether

(01:02:46):
her AI was used to make recent promo videos.

Speaker 5 (01:02:50):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:02:50):
See, this is the.

Speaker 1 (01:02:51):
Thing because like there there is there's actually a term
for this, and I can't remember what it is. But
as technology emerges, you have to figure out how.

Speaker 3 (01:03:00):
You're gonna how you're gonna deal with stuff right?

Speaker 1 (01:03:03):
And when is it okay to cut corners for things?

Speaker 2 (01:03:08):
Right?

Speaker 1 (01:03:09):
Is there a problem if they need a fifteen of
Taylor Swift reminding people to go to her website to
register for something. If you can just AI mockt versus
her having to go into a sound stage in a
studio and shoot it ethically, is that a problem because
it's not really her performing. Like, these are all questions
that you got you gotta wrestle with. And as AI

(01:03:29):
gets better and more things happen, you better read the room.
In the same way that people were so offended when
that one chick was caught lip syncing on SNL, even
though there's probably a lot of people that have lip
SYNCD on SNL, A lot of lip syncing a super bowls,

(01:03:49):
things like.

Speaker 2 (01:03:49):
That lip syncing forever. I was watching a video of
the Animals doing House of the Rising Sun. It was
on like you know some old show, right, the Ed
Sullivan Show or something been, and it's so obvious that
they're you know, it ain't it ain't real. But it
was a different time and people I don't even maybe
didn't even realize it was a thing. Like you wouldn't
even think, oh, they're not really singing, but you're like,
how do you how does it sound exact the same some.

Speaker 1 (01:04:12):
Of those shows because of what The Doors did and
a couple other bands that they just went there like
they wouldn't let them perform live for subsequent years after.

Speaker 3 (01:04:24):
So I don't know.

Speaker 1 (01:04:25):
I don't know, man, But it's like if this is
what they're nitpicking or on, I'm like, they're going like
they're going after this check man, And it's just so
interesting to watch how we do this thing in this country.
We love doing it, man, Michael Jackson, get them. I mean,
whether it's deserved or not is not the judgment call.

(01:04:45):
But it's just then it turns into a nitpicking of everything.
Like they started this, they were tearing Jackson down long
before any of the you know, we got into the
actual trial stuff hanging out with us today, and as
a reward, we welcome in our NERD correspondent Stephen Kent,
who joins us now, good morning, sir, how are you.

Speaker 11 (01:05:04):
It's a beautiful day, and ie to hear from a KC.

Speaker 1 (01:05:07):
Yeah, it is a beautiful day. And during your beautiful day,
I'm curious the over under, how many minutes roughly do
you spend daydreaming and fantasizing about the death of your
political opponents and the murder of their children.

Speaker 11 (01:05:20):
On average, I block that time out for my evenings
right after I've had my first glass of wine and
finished an episode, an old episode of Game of Thrones.
But I try to keep it to about fifteen minutes minimum.

Speaker 3 (01:05:34):
Okay, good, good, good, because.

Speaker 2 (01:05:37):
Very important. Dude.

Speaker 3 (01:05:38):
You live in Virginia, right, How has Sjaron I do one.

Speaker 1 (01:05:44):
One notable politician on the left in and correct me
if I'm wrong in Virginia Who's like, yeah, this guy
probably shouldn't be attorney general.

Speaker 3 (01:05:53):
How is that not happen yet?

Speaker 11 (01:05:54):
Yeah, it's pretty shocking. We live in the era of
peak what about and finger pointing? So you know, the
bar has gotten so low in our political discourse, but
you cannot ask somebody to take accountability for their actions
without them going, well, what about them? Like we're sort
of schoolyard children who haven't been disciplined and being accountable

(01:06:18):
for our own actions.

Speaker 5 (01:06:19):
It's pretty pretty embarrassing.

Speaker 11 (01:06:21):
You know, We've got Democrats up here in Northern Virginia
who have been endorsed by police unions, and even with
their police union and association endorsements, are still not able
to make themselves distance themselves from Jay Jones, who suggested
that cops should be killed in order to affect policing reforms.

(01:06:43):
Pretty shocking and I don't have much help for the
future of politics right now.

Speaker 1 (01:06:48):
I think you, guys Ralph Northom yourself, and this is
the legacy because when even everyone was calling for him
to go and he didn't go, and then the insane
rounding the Lieutenant governor at that time I can't remember
his name, and of course the was it the age
it was also in trouble for something like what a

(01:07:09):
crazy time. But when Northam didn't leave and it didn't
seriously cost them, what point? I mean, that's that's a lesson.
These guys are paying attention to I almost understand that.

Speaker 11 (01:07:21):
And yeah, we're all learning the lesson of what you
can get away with here. I mean for j Jones
and for his ticket Hashmi as well as Spamberger. You know,
they're all looking at this and going, you know, you
can probably still win. J Jones can probably still eke
out a victory here. This is Northern Virginia. Northern Virginia
is all sorts of whipped up about most of the

(01:07:44):
MAGA agenda. The government shut down, furloughs, they don't care.
They want Republicans out of power in Virginia and they
really want them out of power in DC. They can
probably win, and so they're looking at this and going, well,
why do we do the honorable thing and pull out
and end up with a Republican attorney general. Let's just
coast a victory and then do the cleanup later. And

(01:08:07):
you know that's like as a political calculation, I get it,
that makes sense. It just happens to be shameful, and
we should be ashamed.

Speaker 3 (01:08:16):
Do you have a don't you have a Republican ag
right now?

Speaker 5 (01:08:20):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (01:08:20):
My eras, Yeah, okay, all.

Speaker 1 (01:08:23):
Right, hey I got a question too, because like, these
are not my states. And we have this thing now
where now everybody worries about other states stuff, so I
might as well gravy train. Head's the emense amount of
funding that Democrats pool in states like Georgia and from Hollywood.
But if I'm looking at three candidates right now, and

(01:08:44):
I admit they are all women, but that is not
the reason I'm bringing this up. I'm just looking at
your I'm looking at your governor, your governor's race up
there with Spanberger, this lunatic chick up in New Jersey,
and that just keeps getting worse scandal after scandal stuff.
And then of course the would be governor of California

(01:09:07):
who just fell apart during one of the softest interviews
I've ever seen, and then forgot me.

Speaker 3 (01:09:13):
The age ol rule of being a politician.

Speaker 1 (01:09:16):
Never scream at your staff like a po king on
video to get out of your shot. Miss Katie Price,
who's the biggest, Like they're all awful that? I mean,
what's what's the one you're shocked is even still pulling?

Speaker 11 (01:09:32):
Well, yeah, so you you beat me to watching the
Katie Porter video that was on my to do this morning.
Who shocks me? The most you know, I would say
probably Katie Porter. She has just such a weird, sketchy
history and just so many different scandals, particularly in the

(01:09:52):
realm of sex and sexuality, and her comments and now
you sort of see in this video and in this
interview the absolute worst of her personality, which is just
this maximum Karen sort of thing going on where she
is clearly obsessed with the attention and looking her best

(01:10:13):
at all times and not being in a vulnerable situation.
She cannot sit down and do three hours of Joe Rogan.

Speaker 2 (01:10:20):
People.

Speaker 11 (01:10:21):
She is not even anywhere near the ballpark of Gavin Newsom,
who can sit down and pretty much talk to anybody
and go toe to toe with Sean Hannity and the
governor of Florida, Ron DeSantis. Now, Stanberger is an interesting one.
These videos where she's gone around going embrace your anger,
let the hate flow through you.

Speaker 5 (01:10:43):
I'm not really surprised.

Speaker 11 (01:10:45):
Yeah, that's pretty par for the course for liberal white
women in northern Virginia. But I am surprised to see
all these people thriving.

Speaker 1 (01:10:54):
It's crazy, man, all right, I want to flip over this.
I thought this was pretty interesting because it just like
I should be making a gazillion dollars as a consultant
for these companies. So there's a report that ubisof the
makers of the Assassin's Creed line, and we've talked about
it here on the show where they took a lot
of grief for the latest Assassin's Creed, which was set

(01:11:15):
in Japan. But the main character is a black dude
and it was part of revisionist history by some college
professor and then like the entire country of Japan was
mad at him, and then they were banning people from
Japan for criticizing it on Reddit.

Speaker 3 (01:11:31):
The whole thing was all like, it was just awful
that Beings said.

Speaker 1 (01:11:35):
Apparently Ubisoff was planning a different one. I guess it
would have followed this one, but it's now scrapped. And
in the next iteration that they have deemed problematic due
to the politics the it would have been post Civil
War reconstruction and you would have been.

Speaker 3 (01:11:51):
A former slave.

Speaker 1 (01:11:54):
Literally. I can't think anyone would have a problem with this, right.
This is essentially Djengo Unchained is a video game.

Speaker 11 (01:12:02):
Yeah, there is a sort of a myth on the
progressive side of the aisle that Americans are shy about
talking about this year of history or allergic to acknowledging
its existence. This is completely made up. This comes up
in the history book conversations all the time, you know,
where people are like, ah, you know, we need to

(01:12:22):
be able to discuss slavery in schools, like that is
all we discussed.

Speaker 5 (01:12:27):
And I was growing up in.

Speaker 11 (01:12:29):
The late nineties and early two thousands, that is all
you discuss in American history classrooms as if it's the
only thing.

Speaker 5 (01:12:36):
That ever happened.

Speaker 11 (01:12:38):
But they just want to have a very certain kind
of discussion about it. And so this to me is cowardice.
This is them going, we actually see that this game
does not have much market potential, that people are not
really going to be interested in most of what we've
put together here, and we're going to blame the political
environment for that rather than our bad story, our lack

(01:13:01):
of ingenuity, a stale franchise, all of it.

Speaker 2 (01:13:05):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:13:05):
Well, and it's just like if they had released this
instead of the Japanese one, I think they'd be doing
fine right now if they like, if the lists say
that the game was functional, it was a good quality,
it didn't and you know, and it catered to clearly
assassins Creek fans. Nobody's gonna have a problem doing this.
Do you understand how many clan meetings that Ross has
murdered everyone at in Red Dead Redemption two in like

(01:13:28):
he has to keep coming up with different ways to
do it.

Speaker 11 (01:13:33):
It's it's one of the highlights of that game.

Speaker 3 (01:13:35):
Yeah, yeah, murdering.

Speaker 1 (01:13:37):
Although I didn't chastise him for bright, he was excited
about it, and I realized that that could be construed
as him wanting to do violence to Democrats but.

Speaker 2 (01:13:47):
Cover our bases there.

Speaker 5 (01:13:50):
Yeah.

Speaker 11 (01:13:50):
Yes, the Democrats have a little bit of a sketchy
estory there, don't that.

Speaker 4 (01:13:54):
Yeah, you know this is.

Speaker 1 (01:13:56):
Uh, then they all changed. They had a big game
of Red Rover I've been reliably in and then everybody changed.

Speaker 11 (01:14:01):
So that's what they say.

Speaker 3 (01:14:03):
Yeah, all right.

Speaker 5 (01:14:05):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (01:14:06):
You know, there's a term you hear a lot of
and and that's body. And I think that unless you
actually play games, you're in you're you're you know, you're
you're you're somewhat into that, or you're deeper into social media.
A lot of people don't really understand fully what's going
on there. But I you know, every single day, if
you go on social media. At some point you're going

(01:14:28):
to interact with a body. I would say that that's
pretty safe. Generally, they're going to be in the bottom
of the comments. A lot of times they want to
tell you about somebody who made them five k Those
are the ones that you see, but the ones that
you don't see that are being used to essentially manipulate stuff.
I want to have a bigger discussion. I know Ross
probably sent you the story of what Fortnite's dealing with,

(01:14:48):
but like, I can't tell you how crazy it is
Steven to go on Twitter and I see these accounts.
All they do is they all pace the same videos
over and over. It's all misspelled, they all look like
they're being run out of India. They all have twenty
thousand followers in month old accounts like will we ever

(01:15:09):
be free of the body? Is there a way to
get around this, because clearly it's a liability for companies.

Speaker 3 (01:15:17):
If Fortnite's getting sued over bots right now.

Speaker 11 (01:15:22):
Yeah, well, I think at some point there's got to
be not a liability issue. I'm a little out of
my depth here on some of the legal questions, but
if you're talking about sort of misleading investors in the
many cases, I think that this is an area where
there's going to be some action at some point. I
remember when Elon Musk was, you know, making his play

(01:15:44):
to buy X. You know, he was going back and
forth on the price that he was willing to pay
for Twitter based on how many active users it actually
had versus how many inflated accounts with bots that they
were sporting. And he was saying that there are way
less people on Twitter than they were saying, and this
is a question of money. And so I think at
some point this will come to a head with investors

(01:16:06):
and senses about fraud when people are putting money into
major companies.

Speaker 5 (01:16:12):
Now.

Speaker 11 (01:16:13):
I also have been told reliably by my tech partners
at the Consumer Choice Center that are there's a lot
of potential with creating completely authentic accounts and online communities
when it comes to the blockchain, and that if we
can actually get sort of blockchain technology fully up and running,
completely normalized in the consumer realm, that it will be

(01:16:36):
virtually impossible for video games and online communities to be
filled with bots because we'll have a more modern system
for authenticating human activity.

Speaker 1 (01:16:47):
I'm telling you, man, the person who comes up with
the easiest but most foolproof way to do passwords or
authentication or whatever it is.

Speaker 3 (01:16:56):
I mean, that's where the money is.

Speaker 1 (01:16:58):
Because everybody, I can't tell tell you how much I
loathe every morning having to go through two security double
authorization checks, type in physical passwords to get everything up
and running. And it's like, man, if somebody can figure
that out, like that's gonna be and just get a
royalty off it, just go buy all the Yawks, they're

(01:17:18):
gonna be okay, because everyone's going to gravitate towards it.
Just my humble yeah, all right, yeah, I'm sorry, go ahead.

Speaker 5 (01:17:27):
No.

Speaker 11 (01:17:28):
I was just gonna just gonna say, like in the
case of you know, Fortnite, you know that's Epic Games.
It's they're suing two guys, two Michigan guys, Naidi and Nosser,
for filling their their Fortnite islands with bots. You know.
So this this is a fraud issue. So I think
that a couple of good lawsuits will probably bring this

(01:17:49):
issue to a close in the future.

Speaker 1 (01:17:51):
Y I think it's like a hydra man. We didn't
get a chance to talk about the bad Bunny thing
last week. I don't believe because I think.

Speaker 5 (01:18:00):
I watched him on FNL.

Speaker 11 (01:18:01):
It was mostly funny.

Speaker 2 (01:18:03):
What did you all right?

Speaker 3 (01:18:04):
So a couple things.

Speaker 1 (01:18:05):
So there's the there's the SNL and we played the
audio where he basically he was talking about how he's
gonna do the show in Spanish. In Spanish, he's saying this,
and then after he goes and if you didn't understand
what I was saying, you have four months to learn,
all right.

Speaker 3 (01:18:19):
That irritated some people.

Speaker 1 (01:18:21):
He was at the Yankees playoff game and didn't didn't
react to the national anthem.

Speaker 3 (01:18:26):
That irritated people.

Speaker 1 (01:18:27):
He had canceled his US concerts, and so now he
looks like a hypocrite.

Speaker 10 (01:18:32):
It is.

Speaker 1 (01:18:32):
Do you think it's more likely that this is breed
from the NFL, where they're just like, we're gonna make money,
we're gonna we're gonna make it bigger than soccer everywhere
and screw the existing fans, or do you think there's
a political angle here, which is what some people are thinking,
where this is just kind of wore that force down
your throat wokeism.

Speaker 2 (01:18:52):
Where are you at on this?

Speaker 11 (01:18:54):
Hmm, that's a good question. I think that they know
who's gonna be watching, and you know a lot of
guys who are actually in the stadium for football are
headed to the concessions and mingling with other people during
the halftime show. But it is a lot of women
who are actually going to be standing, staying back and
holding seats and watching the halftime show. And I think

(01:19:16):
he's more popular with women. To me, it's that simple.
They are trying to keep people happy who go to
the game. But I don't know much about the politics
of the NFL. I don't think that they want to
tick everybody off. I don't think that they have some
kind of sinister agenda. What is the claim being made
there about the NFL's agenda.

Speaker 2 (01:19:35):
It's just the way.

Speaker 1 (01:19:36):
It's the woke side. It's still the operating and the
woke side of things. Remember the NFL put they blotted
out the end of the end zones for the stop
racism and all those messages they put it on, all
the plans. I mean, they have embraced many, many, many
of these social justice movements within football over the last

(01:19:57):
I don't know, five to ten years, and so.

Speaker 11 (01:20:01):
They know that their audience is never going to drop football.
Like they can do whatever they want. People will they'll
take it because they don't want to not watch the NFL.

Speaker 1 (01:20:12):
Okay, but they I'll tell you what they Where I
got irritated is they just made my team play in
Europe for two weeks in a row. And when I
still live in Minneapolis, this team was running around, as
a season ticket holder was running around saying, we need
a new stadium. If you don't get one, we'll move
and screw all you' all. They got a new stadium,
they don't play in it. And then now you know
for two weeks that was one of our home games

(01:20:33):
that we that was wasted over in Europe. I think
people will then not support things like that.

Speaker 11 (01:20:41):
That's where, yeah, there's certainly a toxic relationship between communities
and their NFL teams. The issue of you know, subsidies
for stadiums comes up all the time, Like we're going
to subsidize and help you build your stadium and bring
your team here, and then you're gonna leave us at
the first drop of a hat and more attractive city.

Speaker 1 (01:21:02):
Yeah, that's where they start pinching them, all right. Unfortunate.
I'm out of time there, so Steve and I appreciate it. Uh,
you know, watch out for your AG candidate and we'll
chat next week.

Speaker 11 (01:21:12):
Always a pleasure, casey.

Speaker 1 (01:21:13):
All right, there you go, Stephen Ken joining us here
on the CaCO Day radio program back in just a
few We only had one of these this week thus far.
So let's knock it out the park with one of
my favorite Florida man's.

Speaker 3 (01:21:27):
In a minute.

Speaker 2 (01:21:33):
Florida then Florida Man. Is something in the water they err,
or sand that makes you do.

Speaker 8 (01:21:38):
All that crazy crap. It's like the state is one
week dumb ass trapped. Nowhere else has the Florida Man.
It is almost like, as the Weird Factor climbs, you find.

Speaker 2 (01:21:50):
Out it have been in Florida every time. Florida then
Florida Man.

Speaker 8 (01:21:57):
If anyone can cheer me of, you know you can.

Speaker 2 (01:22:00):
Life be crazy, but of course, but it's not.

Speaker 8 (01:22:02):
It's kind of crazy as yours. Nowhere else are you
gonna find him? They're so used to it they don't
find him.

Speaker 2 (01:22:10):
Hooray for Florida.

Speaker 3 (01:22:11):
There ah, yes, here we go.

Speaker 1 (01:22:14):
Florida man facing new charges after attempting to sneak a
thermis into the Polk County jail. And when I say sneak,
I mean had it in the old prison wallet. And
when I say thermis, I mean the I mean a
full thermis, like yeah, yeah, the one you're yeah, the

(01:22:39):
one you're thinking of, the big one. I don't know
if it's one with a handle on it.

Speaker 3 (01:22:43):
Ross.

Speaker 1 (01:22:43):
Did you guys have one of the old Coleman ones
with a handle on it.

Speaker 2 (01:22:46):
I think everyone had that, I think every Yeah, I
think everyone did. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:22:49):
It kind of has that shape, but it's hard to
tell because I'm looking at it through.

Speaker 2 (01:22:54):
An X ray.

Speaker 1 (01:22:56):
But it's not small, not small. All right, here's the backstory.
Oh wait, hold on, so I called the back I guess.
So here's the backstory.

Speaker 3 (01:23:07):
Let's see here. This guy, he's he's a.

Speaker 1 (01:23:10):
Frequent flyer, fifty one year old Walter Freimeier, who has
let me just see here real quick, twenty five prior
arrests and has served time in state prison five different times.
So this guy's you know, he does it. He clearly
understands how the process works. So any who Apparently police

(01:23:31):
get a call about a naked, crazy dude in a
public bathroom at a park, So we get a call,
show up.

Speaker 3 (01:23:42):
By the time deputies arrived, the fifty one.

Speaker 1 (01:23:45):
Year old had all of his clothes on. However, the
deputies escorted him out of the park and they actually
said that they weren't going to arrest him, just you
gotta go, because again they know this dude. The problem
is he then after they said all right, get out
of here, he walks across the street, hops up onto

(01:24:07):
a railroad property which he had previously been trespassed from.
So at this point, now they're going to go arrest him.
So they arrest him. I'm assuming they pat him down
didn't find anything. But if you get to if you
get booked into the Polk County Jail down in Florida,
they actually scan you with a body scanner and lo
and behold it started beeping. And I will tell you, man,

(01:24:32):
that is that's one of the most terrifying X ray
things I've ever seen, because that thing goes from point
of insertion up to.

Speaker 3 (01:24:45):
I would say, halfway up his chest cavity.

Speaker 5 (01:24:47):
Ross.

Speaker 3 (01:24:48):
Would you would you concur with.

Speaker 2 (01:24:50):
This trying to you know, it looks like a mortar
when you look at the X ray, it looks like
an old World War two a big mortar bullet look
and mortar. Yeah, like when you first said it to me,
you didn't send it with the story. You just sent
with the X ray. And I looked at him. I
was like, why does he have a mortar up his backside?

Speaker 3 (01:25:11):
North Korean dissident?

Speaker 2 (01:25:12):
You know what was inside it?

Speaker 3 (01:25:15):
So it's not in this story.

Speaker 2 (01:25:16):
It's criminal.

Speaker 1 (01:25:17):
Others that's criminal. Yeah, it could look it could be jewels,
it could be meth.

Speaker 2 (01:25:22):
Because you have to look at this thing and be like, anyway,
what was so important? You were like, I have to
put this up my butt? Like what is that important?
Because that looks really painful.

Speaker 1 (01:25:32):
Well, and there's something you have to remember. Well, he
may have thought he was going to get arrested by police.
He didn't know he was, and they were letting him go, right,
So just to be safe, I'm gonna put this so much.
He had already put it up there, because remember police
patted him down at that point. They didn't see him inserted,
so clearly he inserted it when he redressed himself. Oh

(01:25:55):
I wonder what that family.

Speaker 2 (01:25:56):
Walked in on.

Speaker 3 (01:25:56):
Holy hell, let's see Marcellus Wallace's soul.

Speaker 1 (01:26:01):
Maybe that's in there. I don't know, maybe it is soup,
all right? Hear me out, hear me, hear me out.
All right, let's say it's nana like this, like his
nana makes amazing soup, right, as many nanas do, and
so she may, and then she gets him a big thermis.
He takes it to work, being a crazy person in
the park. Apparently it's his job. And and yet you

(01:26:22):
know how it is, you put it, you get there
at work, and then you put it in the fridge,
and you come back at lunch to eat it, and
it's gone or somebody's eating it because you got one
of those people in your office. We've all been there, right, Ross,
You've had food stolen out of the fridge here, right, Yeah,
I have like whole pizzas before hole. Yeah, so that's right,
Ross got a pizza nap.

Speaker 2 (01:26:43):
It was in the fridge for ten seconds. Ten seconds.
I'm not even a kidding. I came to work. It's
like fun. This is like old damn pizza I put
in the fridge. I walked down to production room A
I was in there for I like, maybe okay, maybe
I'm exaggerating, like fifteen to twenty seconds, maybe by ten.
And then I go down a few minutes later and

(01:27:03):
it is gone. Somebody took it and just left with
it now, pizza.

Speaker 1 (01:27:06):
Just had you stored the entire thing in your butt, right,
this would not have happened to you.

Speaker 2 (01:27:12):
Right, The odds would have been, you know, much smaller
of it being stolen.

Speaker 3 (01:27:16):
Wait, wait mean not zero?

Speaker 1 (01:27:19):
Are you saying not zero?

Speaker 3 (01:27:21):
Because I would say to be zero. If you're timing
for me, I'd be like, yeah, it's not a chance.

Speaker 2 (01:27:25):
But yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:27:27):
So maybe maybe he was sick of having nanas soup stolen.
He didn't know who it was, or it's somebody he
didn't want to get into it with, and he's just like,
you know, I'll take security into my own hand.

Speaker 2 (01:27:38):
The other question is because when you look at the
X ray, the first thing you see is this unexploded
mortar right up his entire body somehow, which as a thermos,
but it looks like a mortar. And I but you
don't even you're missing the top. Look at his head.
What is up with that dude's head? That is an
alien gray, that is a that is not a human.
I think it just I think the photo got stretched.

Speaker 1 (01:27:59):
I don't know, oh man, because I don't think that
they're interested in scanning the head like.

Speaker 2 (01:28:03):
There's there could be some men in Black stuff going
on here, Like that's an alien. He's like the puppet
which is not reacting.

Speaker 1 (01:28:10):
Oh that was the party was described as really calm too,
even though it's got a Coleman thermis inside of him.

Speaker 3 (01:28:20):
What were we gonna say?

Speaker 2 (01:28:20):
This is like the beginning opening seeing The Men in Black,
where you have like the guys who has like the
puppet head, right, it's like not a real guy. Okay,
that could be the galaxy in there, Oh, the galaxy
around something something.

Speaker 1 (01:28:32):
Ye, that's what's in the thermis. I mean that's a possibility.
So we have Nana soup theory. Uh, alien stuff. We'll
just call it that catch all for Ross's theory. Or
I mean probably drugs in there. Let's be honest, A
lot of times that is a device where people will

(01:28:54):
keep intravenous drugs because you know, then you can't stab
anything out of it because it's in a metal thing.

Speaker 3 (01:28:59):
So I think that's probably what's in there.

Speaker 1 (01:29:01):
But he's not charged with that, he said at this
point they're evaluating. We did, and at that point my
deputies did take him to the hospital. In fact, we
ended up having to take him to a specialist and
it was not easy to find. Yeah. Probably there's probably
a bunch of you know, gastros who were like, I'm sorry,

(01:29:21):
he's got a.

Speaker 3 (01:29:22):
What in a what? No, now, we're just not dealing
with this, not today. Oh and then the other.

Speaker 1 (01:29:29):
Theory ross was he tripped and fell on it, right.

Speaker 2 (01:29:31):
Because that's the other one.

Speaker 3 (01:29:33):
Gotta throw that in.

Speaker 1 (01:29:36):
But if you want to see it, Russell tweet the
story out at Casey on the radio and if you
scroll down about two thirds of the way, the the
X rays there and it is an absolute doozy.

Speaker 2 (01:29:49):
So check it out.

Speaker 1 (01:29:50):
All right, look at this it is eight forty four,
and let's get rased agic from the weather channel here
to brighten and then unbrightened and then maybe re right and.

Speaker 2 (01:30:02):
Your day.

Speaker 3 (01:30:02):
All right, ray, what's going on?

Speaker 2 (01:30:03):
You see?

Speaker 13 (01:30:04):
The question is going to be where's the rain going
to end or where's the cutoff going to be? Still
going to keep the triangle in that chance of showers
as we go through Saturday, Saturday night and maybe into
early Sunday. But the bigger rain in the wind maybe
tropical storm force winds out near the coast in the
outer banks and area that continues to get slammed with
coastal flooding and beach erosion with not a landfalling tropical system.

(01:30:29):
This may be a more nor'easter type system with gusty
northeast winds going up the coast, but still impacts to
our east until then, cool mornings, coolest morning coming tomorrow,
and beautiful fall like weather today and tomorrow, probably mid
upper sixties to near seventy degrees across the region. Lows
tomorrow morning in the forties, and then Saturday, more clouds
from about the triangle east and that chance of showers

(01:30:51):
from the triangle east into Saturday night. Elsewhere should be
dry temperatures upper sixties, low seventies, and then Sunday Monday
right now going dry everywhere with high in the upper
sixties to low seventies. Looks like it does get a
little bit milder next weekend, maybe getting close to eighty
by about Tuesday.

Speaker 3 (01:31:06):
So there's a chance to rain.

Speaker 13 (01:31:08):
I'd say the Saturday Saturday Night fourcast subject to change,
but good chance. If you did have travel plants east,
there's going to be rain and some gusty wins.

Speaker 1 (01:31:17):
Okay, all right, thank you sir, to appreciate it. Coming
up on the show, Dan Schwartzman from Bloomberg will join
us and anybody out there thinking of getting the kids
a pet this holiday season, you know, maybe a new
puppy or a kiddy or something. Just before you pull
the trigger, I have another option. I'll explain next. Hang on,
Dan Schwartzman, Dan, what's going on today?

Speaker 10 (01:31:40):
Good morning, casey. Pepsi reported stronger than expected at revenue,
as the company saw two percent growth in its North
American beverage unit. It's the strongest growth in nearly two years.
The food and beverage company, which also owns the Lays, Gatorade,
and Quaker brands, has been trying to keep up with
a shifting consumer tastes by expanding its healthier, high protein
and portion controlled offering. Meanwhile, Pepsi is revamping its popular

(01:32:02):
barbecue potato chip brands with the aim of satisfying both
consumers and the US government. No more the artificial dies
and things like that. It's going to be like vegetable
colorings and I guess the good stuff. Delta Airlines optimistic
about the road ahead. The airline predicts continued strong demand
into next year after reporting better than expected earnings for
the third quarter Delta was lifted by a rebounding corporate

(01:32:22):
travel as well as leisure travelers buying premium seats. Delta,
as well as it's rival United, have been pushing their
premium products in the cabin as well as at the airport,
as they both focus on luxury travelers. An attorney for
Google telling a federal judge that the tech giant wants
to hold down to the right the bundless popular mapping
and video apps with its Gemini AI service. Google's lawyer

(01:32:43):
pushback on a Justice Department proposal that would bar the practice.
The judge previously found that Google had monopolized search and
search advertising. The world's largest eyewear company, Luxottica, which owns
brands such as ray Ban and Oakley, as well as
retail outlets Lens Crafters and sunglass Hot, is positioning itself
as a leader in the emerging category of smart classes.

(01:33:05):
The company teaming up with Meta to manufacture and sell
AI equipped eyewear. Many Silicon Valley giants believe smart glasses
will be the next consumer tech blockbuster and could one
day become as big as the iPhone. Tire maker Bridgestone
expects a tougher second half as its US business faces
a steep drop in truck tied demands, as well as
a fallout from an August cyber attack and also tariffs.

(01:33:27):
The cyber attack at Bridgestone America's affected plants in North
America and Latin America. Bridgetone is leaning on its legacy
Firestone brand in the US to lift positability in the States.
One of its CEOs said sales of Firestone tires have
been rising since the second quarter, which is which is
helped by new product launches. He said that growth should
continue into next year and finally, casey the future as well.

(01:33:49):
They're not doing much. The SMP is up two points,
so essentially flat. NAZAX down close to three points, also
essentially flat. The NOW is down eighteen points, so not
even down a tenth of water.

Speaker 1 (01:34:01):
All right, money, money, money, make us money. Thank you, Dan,
appreciate it.

Speaker 2 (01:34:06):
There you go.

Speaker 1 (01:34:06):
Dan Schwartzman from Bloomberg News, Dude, I just saw the
funniest little follow up on that Florida man story. I mean,
you know how internet slus can internet slu so people
are trying to figure out what brand of thermis this
dude had shoved up there and based on. I guess

(01:34:27):
something with the lid. They think it's a this yetti thermis. Dude,
you're telling me, you're telling me some probable meth head
in Florida's homeless hobo meth head has a YETI he's
got a YETI thermis? And I don't does he? Does

(01:34:48):
he YETI flex people?

Speaker 2 (01:34:49):
You know how?

Speaker 3 (01:34:50):
Don't get me wrong.

Speaker 1 (01:34:51):
I do ow some YETI products, but you know it's
kind of the the YETI flex. You guys know what
I'm talking about, right, Like, oh, that's a nice cooler.

Speaker 3 (01:34:59):
Have you seen MAYETI?

Speaker 5 (01:35:00):
Like?

Speaker 3 (01:35:00):
Does he do that to other meth heads?

Speaker 2 (01:35:04):
Right?

Speaker 1 (01:35:04):
Is he sitting around naked in that bathroom? Or they're
all doing the math?

Speaker 2 (01:35:07):
Like you know, like.

Speaker 3 (01:35:08):
Bob, was that a was that?

Speaker 5 (01:35:11):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (01:35:11):
Was that a Colvin Thervis? I just saw you shove
up your behind?

Speaker 2 (01:35:15):
Have you seen by do YETI?

Speaker 5 (01:35:17):
Like?

Speaker 3 (01:35:17):
Does that happen in that culture?

Speaker 1 (01:35:19):
I don't know, But that's hilarious to me if it is,
but also sad because like, you know how much meth
you could buy if you sold that thing.

Ross.

Speaker 1 (01:35:32):
I was just thinking, yeah, he should make this guy a
spokesman like, if you want to portray that your equipment's
tough and can stand up to anything, I feel like
this counts. And you know what you're getting, you're not
gonna get. It's not gonna be a Jared moment. You
know who you're dealing with. You hired the meth head
from the bathroom, the keysters your products. You're sitting in

(01:35:56):
the pitch me and like, well, what's next to my product? Well,
we're gonna go a family sized thermis. He's like, oh
dear God, no, no, we're not. Sorry, Juveniley distracted there.
How much is that one hundred and thirty dollars pees pees? Yeah,

(01:36:19):
then just to do that with it and then check
this out. People were thinking of getting your kid's pets
this year. A Canadian theme park is sitting on beluga

they they didn't feel right with the deal.

That's some dude who runs a stall at the wet
