Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Ross Ross's back. How did your how'd your human hunting
trip go? Yesterday? Did you bag a good Yeah? No,
I heard about that. I know you didn't just hear
about it. You literally while you were not at work,
sent me the story. I assumed you were bragging. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (00:15):
I had some downtime so it was like scrolling and
this the first story that popped up, and I'm like,
got us in that. Yeah, my dad's a story right there.

Speaker 1 (00:21):
We're trying to figure out if it's ninety thousand per
human or if that covers a period of time. We
had some questions on the show yesterday, like because if
you can if you come out, like if you come
out to hunt in Wyoming, right, any book elk trip? Right,
you're basically you're booking for seven days, right, and you
can shoot an elk, but you can shoot whatever else

(00:42):
you got to tag for too, right. The world is
your oysters. So I don't know how it worked over there, but.

Speaker 2 (00:51):
Yeah, I saw somebody commenting on the story and they're like, yeah, well,
I mean this is you know, this is to be
expected during the Trump era, And I'm like, you did
not read the artic cool?

Speaker 1 (01:00):
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I remember I remember when
Trump was president in the nineties, when uh Bosnia and
uh Casovo and everything were just absolutely melting down. He probably,
let's just face it, he probably hunted humans, right. I
saw that allegation even people recognized it was during the nineties.
You know, you don't know Trump went over there and

(01:21):
hunted humans. And I'm like, he wouldn't have to do.
You know how many properties this guy owns. He's not
gonna go to some poor you know, human hunt where
he doesn't have his own thing, you know.

Speaker 2 (01:32):
And I'm not saying this to be like disparagingly, but like, yes,
do you think Trump has he ever hunted? He's like
a big hunter, because I don't like I recently saw
a picture of him and it was one of these
photos where he wasn't wearing a suit because you always
se him wearing a suit and like, you know, being
very put together and you know Trumpy or orl or
a golf polo.

Speaker 1 (01:50):
Yeah set up, yeah, yeah, yeah, but I saw you photed.

Speaker 2 (01:52):
Maybe he saw this photo It was online of him
at like a ski trip wearing like a you know,
like a big parka and like a snow like a
big regular hat like you know, winter hat and it
was like so jarring, but it was like, who, I've
never seen them like that. So I can't imagine Trump
going hunting.

Speaker 1 (02:07):
I don't I you know, I don't know. I don't
know that I've ever seen a picture of him hunting.

Speaker 2 (02:12):
Yeah, because typically campaign season, you know, they like to
go out, like you've seen Ted Kurus.

Speaker 1 (02:16):
I've seen a picture of him shooting a gun.

Speaker 2 (02:18):
I will say that, Okay, Tim Walls, it's like, you know,
a typical thing they do during you know, when you're
running for something where you go out and you know,
I'm a man and you know, that's, you know, sort
of thing to get that photo op, which went horribly
wrong with Tim Walls. But I've never seen that with Trump.
I don't remember it. Maybe it happened, I yeah, I
don't know.

Speaker 1 (02:35):
I mean if I would say this, if there's a
picture of Trump with like a dead giraffe or something,
I'm pretty sure that the Democrats would have dug it up,
do you know what I mean? Yeah? Right? Because yeah,
or or let alone dead Bosnians or whatever that crazy
article was about. Uh, you know, I probably don't take

(02:56):
pictures of that, but yeah, I don't know. I don't know.
That's a good question. If we ever get him or
one of his sons back on the air, I will
literally ask that, just because now I'm super curious. I mean,
maybe he's the kind of guy. You know, you're around developers,
you're doing this, you're doing that. He likes a steak,

(03:20):
so clearly it's not like a vegan issue. I don't know.
I don't know. Again, I've seen him shoot a gun. Well,
I shouldn't say that. I've seen a picture of him,
and they purport that he shot the gun, so I'm
gonna assume that he did. But uh, yeah, I don't.
I just don't see Donald Trump holding still enough to

(03:41):
like sit a tree stand some morning. I don't either.
So it would be really funny, though, to hear him
tell the story, because that's by the part of hunting
is you know what I mean, part of hunting is
you got to have like the explanation of what happened
happened for your boys, right, And it could be grandiose.

(04:03):
It can be like, yeah, so I was there for
like three hours and all of a sudden, I seen
this mountain lion. Wait, hold on, if I'm gonna do this.
Let's go ahead and do it right. By the way,
this is a this is a true story. I'm going
to tell you as all hunting stories are right here,
like all right. So so once you have the dead critter,

(04:23):
you got to fill in what you know, what happened
and tell the story. Like the time my buddy and
I were the two of us were hunting this particular
parcel and I didn't see a damn dear all morning,
and I could see where my buddy's stand was, and
I could see a deer that was a shooter but

(04:47):
also was really interested in the stand for some reason.
And I watched basically because I can't you know, you
can't shoot in the direction of where your buddy is
and he's like a triangle blind, so I'm not going
to shoot over him. Ah, he's gonna shoot this thing.
And then I just see this deer just hanging out
like really interested in what's going on with the with

(05:07):
the stand there, and at no point is there is
there is there a shot and and I believe the discussion,
if I'm remembering this correctly, was the deer was too close.
So you have fun stories like that. So the one
time I shot a mountain lion. I've never really hunted

(05:28):
mountain lion, but you can get you. Back when I was,
I don't know what it is now, you could get
a twenty dollars tag and for bear and a twenty
dollars tag for mountain lion, and I would buy them
just on the opportunity that i'd see one. And for
the bear it worked out, but for the mountain lion,

(05:49):
it was very rare to see one. And then one
day I'm going out. I'm trying to go out to uh.
It was the day before Elks season opened, so I'm
just trying to go out and I understand how my
line works. There's everybody's license is good wherever until the
quota's hit, and you're expected to understand that the quota's
hit and you can't shoot a mountain lion. So this

(06:10):
was pre quota. This was right before the elk opener,
so it would have been October fifteenth, fifteenth, yeah, or fourteenth,
And I'm sitting there just hanging out, kind of trying
to figure out the view line of this place I
was going to set up for the next morning, and
all of a sudden, over the ridge, I see a

(06:30):
mountain lion, and she is very interested in me, but
I don't pay her any nevermind, because I don't want to,
you know, be slinging off rounds in the same place.
I'm expecting elk to come the next day. So I
just mount manned it over to the other stand because
I was checking both of them, and lo and behold,
here comes that mountain lion following me from one to
the other. I didn't think anything of it. And then
I went back to the original stand, and now she's

(06:52):
fifty fifty yards away and very interested in what I'm doing.
So anyway, that's the time I shot.

Speaker 2 (06:56):
A mountain lion right there, right, So I liked that.
I was. I was out in Appalachia, uh deep into
hillbilly country, oh, wielding my my elephant guns and as
you do. Yeah, I was charged by a bigfoot okay,
and both guns like like misfired, like yeah, so I

(07:18):
had to choke it out. What how did they miss fire?

Speaker 1 (07:21):
Was it? I did?

Speaker 2 (07:22):
It didn't work? There were there there were so antique
they were there, blunderbuss yeah, okay, yeah, So anyway, I
had to choke it out with my bare strength. Luckily
I lift.

Speaker 1 (07:32):
Oh good, okay, all right, Well look that's a better
story than you were in Bosnia hunting humans yesterday. So
good for you. Where where is uh? Where is the
that dude? That mountain line was straight up light stalking me.
It was deeply uncomfortable because I don't want to shoot them.
I didn't want to shoot the mountain line. I didn't
want to shoot it. But that's how it goes, so uh,

(07:54):
same with you, Like you probably didn't set out to
murder Bigfoot. No dude was asking for it. What are
you going to do?

Speaker 2 (08:00):
I would have brought right, but it was beamed up.
It was beamed up after I choked it out. What yeah, yeah, is.

Speaker 1 (08:08):
This a Tucker Carlson episode? What was going on here?
Did you see the did you see the the Tucker
Carlson with the uh with the the chem trails thing.

Speaker 2 (08:17):
I saw a Babylon b article about that, but I
don't I didn't actually see.

Speaker 1 (08:21):
The the one that they could in Bigfoot. I did
retweet that, Yeah, yeah, he's like, chim trails are real.
It's called geo engineering. Now, don't get me wrong. I
understand like seating ring, I like I get that that's
the thing I just feel like that it was a
very jarring headline this particular podcast. There for the most part,

(08:43):
it's not it's just yeah, it's just planes and stuff.
It's okay, but yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So I did
see a lot of uh, we'll say takes on that. So,
uh there you go, all right. It is uh six
fifteen here on the KCO Day radio program. So some

(09:03):
moonbat decided to own uh own own the Republicans or
I guess three of them, as they were on an
American Airlines flight to DC to literally vote on the
shutdown package, which passed yesterday and the President's signed. So
we're not doing that anymore. And it's just it's exactly

(09:24):
who you think, exactly who you think. So we will
get into that. I guess Jesse Jackson got into the hospital.
Some something's going wrong there. I don't know exactly what
it is, so we'll see and uh oh yeah. Stephen
kent NERD correspondent Extraordinary Hill, join us. They'll be coming

(09:45):
up at eight oh five. So lots to get to
on this morning, but for now we'll take a break,
be right back. Hang on. So, and I was updating
people literally live on the show yesterday, Ross your furniture
action he showed up in the window, So you taken
the day off? Was the right call. I was just
looking at a picture. I had not seen any of

(10:07):
the construction that they did, the tray for What is
on those curtains, by the way, those are very is
that pineapple?

Speaker 2 (10:17):
What it is on those like different animals and stuff?

Speaker 1 (10:20):
Oh okay, all right, yeah, no, I just this is
the first time I'm seeing Ross's new wing on his house.
Looks very good, very very good. Although I had not
I did not know you had a life sized animatronic
Mickey Mouse. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (10:34):
We picked that up last year. We were at home
Depot and Marky was like, look at that thing. We
need this robotic talking animatronic Mickey.

Speaker 1 (10:42):
Amazing.

Speaker 2 (10:44):
It just sings to you in moves and it's kind
of like a motion sensor.

Speaker 1 (10:47):
And yeah, okay, I saw people buying the R two
D two. I saw some videos of that. For some reason,
that's very popular, so I'm assuming it's in the same there.
So that's it just sings to you. Is it like
the billy bass where if you walk by it or
do you have to like physically push a button or something?

Speaker 2 (11:08):
Both you can do both. The security protocols built into
it are amazing, like super We almost like almost killed
the construction guy. Yeah, these lasers shoot out of the
eyes because it's right out the door there, So I
mean you got to be careful, got to be here.

Speaker 1 (11:23):
I mean, that's it's it's the whole argument from clerks, Right,
you took the job, you took the house.

Speaker 2 (11:36):
You're building to my house. You know you're in danger.

Speaker 1 (11:38):
So yeah, man, you wanted Ross's house with the you know,
the security system and the Mobster's house from clerk, same thing.
So ah, what a great movie, What a great movie that.

Speaker 2 (11:55):
Do you have any idea how stressful it is like
the past like three months when you're dealing with like
you know, like not only like you know, he's your
wife pregnant, like a pregnancy, right, everything that comes along
with that, but also like a major construction that has
to be done at a certain time, you know before.
We wanted to please get this done before the baby comes,
right because we have family coming for Thanksgiving and everything,
and you know, just extra space in the house, which

(12:17):
is amazing now. But dude, the last three months have
been so stressful, Like.

Speaker 1 (12:21):
I don't because obviously, I you know, I don't. I've
not knocked a woman up or I'm married, but I
will say this, I don't because every time i'd ask
you about it, you'd tell me it was two more weeks. Yeah, no,
it was the money Pitney, So I had no idea.
And it was funny because so Everett was doing he's
our our contractor, and I'm going to be doing like
a major pot. I'll do a post at some point

(12:41):
with photos and like links and all that because he didn't,
you know, on my social media because he deserves it.

Speaker 2 (12:47):
Did an amazing job. But he's yeah, yeah, he's younger
than us, right, he's in his like you know, I
think early thirties, okay, And we were bringing up the
money pick because the first time he's like, you know,
two weeks and market and I just started like laughing. Right,
of course, two weeks because you think of the money
pit every time, you know, when is the job gonna
get done? When it's the plumbing in two weeks? Two weeks?
And he had never seen it before, so every time

(13:08):
he would say two weeks, we would laugh and he's like,
why you're laughing. So we finally showed him a clip
of the like all the two weeks together, like a
montage on TikTok or whatever of the money pit, and
then he got it. So then he started saying two
weeks because it really is that way. You're like, when
do you think that's gonna get done in two weeks?
No idea?

Speaker 1 (13:24):
Are you allowed to be a licensed contractor and not
see the money pit? I don't know, Like we need
to do so, like the legislature needs to act man.

Speaker 2 (13:33):
That money that That movie is even funnier as an
adult owning a house going through something like that, oh,
as a kid. As a kid Tom Hanks and the Slapstick,
it's funny, you know, going down the hill of his house,
you know, with the you know, during the construct all
this stuff. But when you actually live through it and
you're like, dude, is that movie is so accurate?

Speaker 1 (13:54):
Yeah? No, And I told you I hadn't seen that
movie so many times because it was like it was
my mom only has she had like I'll say it
take ten movies. She'd watch a lot, and she had copies.
She had her little like section thing on the shelving
there and like so god, what the wind was on there?
And money Pit was one of them, so I like

(14:15):
I had seen it a whole bunch, and I think
the last time I watched I was probably like fourteen
or fifteen, and then I watched it like two years
ago and wildly different, wildly different. It's still a very
good in a movie that holds up, by the way,
So if you've never seen it, like you can watch it,
you're definitely gonna get the vibe. So check that out

(14:35):
all right. Coming up on the show, let me give
you a little uh. We got so much audio. We
gotta get to. Jasmine Crockett is a gem, by the way, Ah,
just the gift that keeps on given. I's it's almost
a shame that likely she will not get re elected
in Texas if they do what they're gonna do with

(14:59):
the uh with the districts there, but will enjoyer while
we can. By the way, Maryland now says they're going
to redistrict Ross. What do you think you cool with
the predator being the good guy in a movie, because
that's what we're doing now with the new Predator bad Lands.

Speaker 2 (15:18):
Like I heard, the whole thing was sort of like
not your typical Predator movie, like I saw some stuff
from Critical Drinker Anything Nervous where they were talking about it.
It's more like a buddy film like sort of like
a lighthearted Yeah.

Speaker 1 (15:31):
Yeah, he's got like a whole there's a whole relationship
arc with him and his family because you know, he's
always going on these hunting trips for humans, well not
just humans. Right, this isn't the whole thing that they
hunt wherever they hunt. I don't know. And I'm trying
to think of other bad like bad guys from horror
or you know, horror action of our childhood that you

(15:53):
could try to make the good guy like like Jason
Voorhees is never gonna be the good guy, right, never
like like a like a you know when he was young,
interpersonal thing with him and his mom, Like nobody's gonna
go see that, but apparently everyone's gonna go see The
Predator bad Lands. I haven't seen it, so I.

Speaker 2 (16:11):
Kind of want to see the nice Jason Voorhies Now
I kind of want to see that movie.

Speaker 3 (16:18):
He says.

Speaker 1 (16:19):
Yeah, he's an innocent kid. He's like he's excited because
he's going to camp. You're like, oh, it's gonna be great.
Oh it's super pumped and everybody you know and the
audience understands that this is not gonna end up.

Speaker 2 (16:29):
I listen. I don't think it'd be a good movie,
but I'm sort of curious now I want to see
it to say how awful it would be.

Speaker 1 (16:37):
Forty million it made it opening opening weekend, so a
lot of people are seeing it. Let's see here. Yeah,
I probably won't see it cause I don't have Disney
Plus and that's where they'll stick it. So maybe I'll
have to do like once a year, I do the
tester for Disney watch everything that I want and then
uh uh like in a week and then cancel before

(17:01):
it charges me.

Speaker 4 (17:03):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (17:04):
Twentieth century uh and Disney Let's see here. It is
the only Predator film including the two alien mashups, to
earn an A cinema scores. All Right, some people are
digging it. Has anybody seen this movie? Is it worth
the Is it worth the viewing? That might be I
might be inclined to go see it in the theater

(17:26):
just to kill time. Maybe, uh, because by the time
we hit like week of Thanksgiving, I got a couple
of days where I'm just like not doing anything, So uh,
probably still be in some theaters. Let's see here. Oh
and it's the same dude who did ten Cloverfield Lane.
I think ten Cloverfield Lane is very good movie. I

(17:48):
think John Goodman's great in that movie. But you know,
I'm also a guy likes horror movies. So maybe all right,
somebody could give us a it was a little spy
report if you want. All right, let's get to the audio,
shall we, Because can I just play the craziest audio first?
There's really not even context for it. It's just I

(18:10):
watched this clip. It's from the BBC and they're reporting
on some science. All right, a little science here, and
it's really listen to it. Your brain will break and
then you kind of have to listen to it again. Okay,
all right, so here's the clip.

Speaker 5 (18:29):
Now, transgender woman's milk is just as good for babies
is breast milk?

Speaker 1 (18:33):
Well, I'm sorry, what so new study, new study. Let's
hear this is? This is what they're talking about, saying
that one more time.

Speaker 5 (18:44):
Now, transgender woman's milk is just as good for babies
is breast milk. That's according to a letter from the
medical director a university hospital Sussex NHS Foundation Trust. The
claim was made as part of a response against campaign
groups the Trust for to studies and the World Health
Organization guidance, including one case which found what it called

(19:05):
no observable effects in babies fed by induced lactation.

Speaker 1 (19:10):
Okay, and when I hear a clip like that one,
I have to in my mind assemble what the hell
they're talking about too. Unfortunately I had to google that
because I was not aware that was the thing. Also,
I don't believe the World Health Organization because you just
said it was a study that was done to push back,
So I ulterior motives argument. But so if you're a dude,

(19:36):
orn't a dude? And then you're like, now I'm a
woman and now you have a baby, which you didn't
have because you don't have a womb, but now you've
acquired a baby. Somehow you can hormone yourself into lactating
as a dude. Does that track? I am very ross.

(19:58):
You said your wife was confused too. She's in baby
mode because she's about to have one. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (20:02):
No, I saw I was doing the prap and I
was like listening to the audio the video, and she's
like what, So I played it again. And she's like, ah,
they're talking about like you know women right who are
now men so they can do that? And I'm like no, no, no, no, no,
they're they're saying this the other way around. And so
then we had to google it, like how is that possible?
And apparently google it Yeah. Yeah, apparently you can take

(20:24):
like hormones or something and like you'll start lactating or something.

Speaker 1 (20:26):
I guess are you going to are you now? Are
you gonna help the wife feed the baby because now
she knows that like she can with the right hormone combination,
she's going to hand it off to you.

Speaker 3 (20:37):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (20:38):
I don't think that's gonna be possible.

Speaker 1 (20:41):
Very busy.

Speaker 2 (20:42):
We are looking forward when when the baby is born
because our first go around, I don't know if it's
still the same, but when Lincoln was born, you had
what we called the uh you know, the milk the
milk Nazis that would come in the room. Yeah, like
every ten minutes, yeah, breast were.

Speaker 1 (21:01):
Leave us alone. I need to see you breastfata, then
I'll leave the room video evidence. Ah yeah, I remember
you telling that story. So just just when they but
if they do come in this time and be like, no, no, no,
I'm doing hormone therapy. So we're both gonna be Do
you know how happy they'll be.

Speaker 2 (21:20):
Yeah, they'll be like, oh we saw the BABC study.

Speaker 1 (21:22):
Good for you, that's amazing. All right, one more time,
one more time, because I know some of your brain's reset.
Here we go.

Speaker 4 (21:28):
Now.

Speaker 5 (21:28):
Transgender woman's milk is just as good for babies as
breast milk. That's according to a letter from the medical
director her University Hospital Sussex NHS Foundation Trust. The claim
was made as part of a response against campaign groups.
The Trust referred to studies and the World Health Organization guidance,
including one case which found what it called no observable

(21:51):
effects in babies fed by induced lactation.

Speaker 1 (21:55):
I just the whole part. They're like, the study was
done to push back on campaign right, people are like, yeah,
this is that's probably not real, and they're just say,
oh no, we do a study and it's it's just
as good. So and again it's tidy with the World Health,
which is the un which is I don't believe you.
So there's that, all right, eight eight eight nine three

(22:18):
four seven eight seven four. I do have somebodyo though,
that will make you feel happy. Probably, I don't know.
So you know, in Florida, right if you mess with kids,
you're eligible for the death penalty. They passed that. Everyone's like, oh,
you can't do that. Well, they did it because it's Florida.
They do whatever they want to do. But up to
this point they hadn't publicly sought it, and that has changed.

(22:41):
I'm going to announce this is the Florida Attorney General.

Speaker 6 (22:45):
I'm going to announce this morning that in this case,
we will be seeking the death penalty. I believe that
crimes like this against young children, where you take their innocence,
you take their childhood away from them, the horrific acts
deserve the ultimate form of justice. So we will be
doing everything we can legally to send him to meet

(23:08):
his maker.

Speaker 1 (23:09):
Now this will be let's say they're able to secure
that judgment and that penalty. This is gonna be lawsuit city,
because not only do you have the anti death penalty,
you also have the uh you know, there's this this
weird coalition of people who are like, oh, they're not pedophiles,
they're minor attracted persons. They're gonna be filing lawsuits, probably

(23:33):
well lactating based on hormones. I don't know, but but
it's it's gonna be the test case essentially for the
law that they passed down there. Now, you and I
I'm not gonna I'm not gonna get into all the
stuff this dude's accused of. But this wasn't he didn't
this wasn't him exposing himself just to a kid. Okay,

(23:56):
it's it's really horrific stuff, right, really really horrible like stuff.
Uh and I'll let you fill in the or you
can research and learn all about it and then probably
get a little queasy. So like there's a reason this
is the case they're gonna go with. I saw one

(24:18):
quote where detectives who were investigating this case said that
some of the video evidence they saw made them physically ill.
So fire up the wood schipper. Now, I don't think
I'm gonna do a wood chipper.

Speaker 2 (24:32):
This is what I was gonna ask, Like, are they
gonna actually use a wood chipper?

Speaker 1 (24:35):
I mean they should, And you know me, I don't
just want any old, regular wood chipper. I want one
where you get the RPMs down to like three, like
old and rusty. Right, yeah, oh so much tendus so
so much, so much lockjaw coming your way. Not I
mean not because you're not gonna survive. But yeah, I

(24:55):
want those RPMs to be like as slow as as possible.
That's just me. I'm a horrible person, I understand that.
But yeah, yeah, I like the rust aspect. You're absolutely
right right where the guy's looking at it, he knows
about to be wood schipper, but also he's concerned about
getting an infection, so and never clean it. By the way,

(25:20):
that's the other that's the other hack. Right, If you
want to make it as intimidating as possible, just whatever,
hat just leave it on there, I mean, get the
big chunks out, you know, functionality, grease it up so
it can rotate at three RPMs, you know, rotations per minute.
But you know, leave the leave the other stuff. Let

(25:41):
people know what's up. Sorry. I don't like it when
you sodomize children, film it and then sell it to
your buddies, among others.

Speaker 2 (25:49):
Nobody comes out of the woodchipper. Are they going to
put him under the prison?

Speaker 1 (25:53):
I think you could just have a drain there the
funnels under said prison, and then you get like the
big squeegee thing and just pop it all down there. Yeah.
I mean it's Florida. They can pretty much do whatever
they way, have gators down, I don't care whatever you
want to do. You got enough of them.

Speaker 2 (26:11):
You know. It's really a mystery how we're not like
billionaire inventors, you know what I mean.

Speaker 1 (26:17):
I mean, clearly we're much more inventive than gen Z, right,
who just keeps reinventing stuff that everyone already had. We're
coming up with whole new, whole new things here, whole
new things. Yeah, but now I think they'll probably just
go with the lethal injection anyway. Six forty six, hang on, Oh,
the shutdown is no more. That doesn't mean the lingering

(26:40):
effects will not be there, you know, especially with the
air travel. I think that's going to be the the uh,
the one that's going to be longest to get back
to no which normal already is kind of a pain
in the butt, but to get everybody on board there.

(27:00):
I did see the the there's already a slew of
snap videos, so like here here's the thing, here's the
thing back in my day, right, And you could call
this right or wrong or whatever it is, but I
think it's a necessary portion of the process. Nobody wants

(27:21):
nobody should want to be on food stamps, right, And
it used to be if somebody was on food stamps,
they kind of didn't tell everybody, right, there was I
don't want to say shame, but there's a little bit
of shame there, which which is fine because shame can
also be a motivator. The difference is now, like I

(27:43):
can't fathom people because you know, food stamps. When I
was a kid, they had like their own fake money
thing going on, right, Like it was like a coop.
It was like a book reripped out food stamp dollars
or whatever it was. And maybe maybe that was only
in Wyoming. Ross, do you remember when food stamps were

(28:03):
physically the like gift certificate looking things. I do, Okay,
that's how it was in New York too. I just
realized I didn't know if that was just Wyoming, but
like and and like, if one of your when you're young,
when you're a kid, one of your friends is paying
with food stamps, people are probably gonna joke about it.
You can say that that's not okay. But like, ultimately

(28:24):
there was a certain there was a certain we're not
going to brag about. Now people are making some really
ornate video.

Speaker 2 (28:30):
It's super weird. Like it shouldn't be something that you're
just always going to be dependent on, right, it should
be like a fail, like a you know, break out
the glass in case of emergency. Correct. Like my mom before
she met my father, she had uh you know, I
have two half sisters, but I see him as sisters.
I don't know half sisters. Weird, uh, But yeah, So
she got a divorce from her first husband. It was

(28:51):
like bad news, and she was on her own, and
she was on welfare for a while with the food
stamps and everything. Yeah, and you know, she worked her
butt off to get off of them. Like the point
was this is a safety protocol, like you know, we're
gonna eventually get off it. So she met my father
and things worked out and then she got off. But
you know, it wasn't like you're on them for decades
or your entire life, or you make TikTok videos. Yeah,

(29:14):
it's so weird.

Speaker 1 (29:14):
It's crazy. There's not videos with two of the fullest carts.
I've never filled a cart.

Speaker 2 (29:21):
That much every yeah, no, no, no, And you see
these videos like you you know, freezers and refrigerators full
of food and pantries and stuff, and it's just you're right,
like back when we were kids in the eighties and
the nineties, like it was something you would make for
other kids would make fun of you for.

Speaker 1 (29:36):
Yeah. Yeah, look, I understand the whole bullying thing and
all that, but like it it also cemented in the
mind of a kid who maybe was getting some grief
over that that he doesn't want to be there, right,
you know what I'm saying, Like he should strive to
not have this be a part of his life. Even

(29:57):
if I again, absolutely I don't have a problem in
many circumstances with food stamps. I talked about this yesterday.
Ross wasn't here. The amount of members of the military
whose family also gets SNAP assistance is not zero, but
there is. I don't care what it comes to. When
I when I think of like the EBT card, and

(30:18):
I know that it's supporting a military family, That's where
I'm like.

Speaker 2 (30:23):
Okay, there should be something separate for military families, like
they deserve like special ties.

Speaker 1 (30:28):
Yeah yeah, but it is what it is. So like
and you know, because they're they're doing their thing, they're
getting whatever their pay is. This is the situation and
if they need a little assistance like that doesn't bother
me in the least. They're also not making TikTok videos
with three carts full of crab legs. Well, the issue
is now it's become a generational thing, correct, Yeah, I

(30:48):
mean it's so ingrained that this is part of your
your you compute that or you you calculate that into
your income, like, oh, well this is we're going to
have this because we've always been on this.

Speaker 2 (30:57):
My family's always been on this.

Speaker 1 (30:58):
I saw a vid a while ago where a young man,
I don't know, eighteen nineteen, still lives at home whatever.
He was telling his mom he's getting a job, and
she was mad as hell at him because if he
gets a job and he lives in the household, that
could screw up for food stamps. So she's encouraging him

(31:20):
in the video to not take that job and just
get on food stamps like she has been, like her
mom was. And I'm just how destructive is that? And
I think he made the video kind of to point
out what he was putting up against because he really
wanted to work, and good for him, that's good, but
like just the level of parenting. There was just in

(31:43):
this cellar, man, just in this cellar, and the way
the mom was talking and walking around and yelling at
him like she clearly is not She's in a position
where she probably could be working. She looked extremely mobile
and she was able to form words. But no, he
was going to screw up her whole thing. So I've

(32:06):
got several emails. They all kind of say the same thing,
just with different situations. But yeah, I think it's just
I don't know, man, it's a generational thing or what.
Let me read this one. When I was a young marine,
married wife pregnant, we did use wick and I hated it,
absolutely embarrassing every time you checked out. It was a

(32:28):
pride thing, whereas a man, it made you feel that
you couldn't provide for your family. Again, I don't. You
can simultaneously understand the need for this and also understand
that maybe shame needs to be a component of it,
and not just shame, but in this case, pride, right,
you want the thing that motivates you to go. I
don't want to be in this situation. I don't want to,

(32:51):
you know. That's why the whole thing where they were
like all right now you can't buy these junk food anymore,
and everyone's freaking out. I'm like, that sounds like a
good motivation to not beyond a system where you're limited
in what you can purchase. If it's a problem for you,
do what you can to work yourself out of it,

(33:12):
because it's crazy when you're not on it. You have
your own money, and let's say that you know you
want to buy something, They're not going to shut you
down at the register because you wanted to buy a
Snickers bar or whatever. I don't know everything that is.
I did see this though, apparently even though they put
those new things in place, there's like people there's people

(33:35):
now who have TikTok channels where what they do is
they go around and they feature loopholes about how if
you want junk food, how you can get it. Here's
a woman who does a whole series of these. She's like,
she figures out what's EBT eligible, and when it comes
to like the Christmas candy and stuff, apparently candy canes,

(33:58):
gingerbread houses for all like EBT eligible, and it's some
hack there and I'm like, no, no, no, Like your
energy shouldn't be figuring out how to cope with it.
Your energy should be like, hey, here's how we don't
have to watch videos like this. So that's where that's
where I'm met. I'll tell you when my after my

(34:20):
father left, and I don't know for sure, I asked
my mother one time because there was that transition period
was really tough and my my father wasn't helping financially
at that point, although that did get sortied and he,
you know, he did after that, but like there was

(34:43):
I think my mom might have applied and received food stamps.
I don't know for sure, and I remember asking her
about it and she got she wasn't happy with the
question and she never answered me. And that was the
pride thing. I think she had them. I never saw them,
but like, you know, I was the oldest one. I

(35:03):
was twelve when this happened, and I just remember like
we were very very very super like there was nothing
to eat around the house for a minute. I mean
there's cows, one of them, but like, and then she
was able to go up to there's a store up
in Billings called Food for Less, which is an old

(35:24):
warehouse kind of thing, and she went on those big shoppings.
I think she did it with that, but I don't know,
And my mom is a very proud woman, so I'm
not surprised she wouldn't tell me, but she you know,
she also transitioned because she was stay at home mom,
but she did have a degree from the University of Washington.

(35:44):
She was a student athlete there and all that, so
she was able to transition into some work. But yeah,
I think that I think she did, and she never
told me. I don't know, but I'm almost positive she did,
almost positive, And like whatever that is, whatever that that intuitive.

(36:04):
This sucks and I don't want to be doing it.
It's just broken in some people. And unfortunately, well fortunately,
I guess, you know, people who normally aren't painted, you know,
because those videos are not new, but during this they
just intensified. Right, three hundred pound people crying that they're starving.
People take notice of that, and so I if the

(36:28):
shutdown didn't anything, I think it probably educated the public
on the fact that there's no way that the abuse
is one percent in a program like that. Let's see here,
all right, let me get to the Jasmine Crockett audio,
because holy crap, this woman. Ah, let's see here. By
the way. I love that we've come entirely full circle

(36:52):
on voting machines now, and that's what Crocket's on. Also,
she doesn't know how to say dominion, which is equally funny.
But here she is railing about how one of Trump's
buddies bought the voting the company that makes the machines
or something. I don't know. This woman's illon.

Speaker 7 (37:12):
Oh, that one of his friends has purchased Dominion. So
it's going to be really important for us to educate
all states that you can to make sure that their
secretary of States are like, we don't want the Dominion
machines because I personally believe that that ally purchased Dominion
so that he could potentially play with the machines, because
we know that they're trying to cheat by changing the

(37:34):
lines for the midterms, and I think that they're trying
to solidify their cheap potentially with the voting machines.

Speaker 1 (37:41):
You know, it used to be miss Crockett that saying
that would get you sued. I don't know if you
know that.

Speaker 2 (37:47):
Not only that, but I'm now fearful for her pillow company.

Speaker 1 (37:51):
Oh does you have a pillow cap?

Speaker 2 (37:52):
Yeah, it's going to go under. Now I'm kind of
you know.

Speaker 1 (37:55):
Who was it David Hog who tried to do a
pillow company? You remember that? Yeah, I did not go well, yeah, yeah,
that was the whole thing. What did I see Lindell
Is Ludell running for office or something?

Speaker 2 (38:06):
I don't know, man, But that whole situation, man, where
they went after him, it nearly broke him.

Speaker 1 (38:11):
I didn't break him.

Speaker 2 (38:12):
Yeah, no, but he pulled through. I mean, he did
pull through this situation. Like he's you know, he's still no.

Speaker 1 (38:17):
No, I think financially he's like he's on the cusp
right now. Like they laid off of they laid off
a bunch of people. Maybe I don't remember exactly where
they said his status was, but I just saw I
saw an article here a few weeks ago where like
financially as a result, he had to lay off a
big portion of workers there.

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

Speaker 1 (38:38):
But yeah, but that's not even the dumbest thing she
said yesterday. No, no, no, no. The dumbest thing would be,
oh yeah, this the.

Speaker 7 (38:47):
Violence doesn't come from democrats. Just to be close, I mean,
obviously anyone can be a criminal, but it is maga.
It's specifically Maga affection, Like I don't think traditional Republicans
are getting engaged in all of this. But like even
when we look at and they don't talk about the
assassination attempts anymore that took place with Donald Trump, but

(39:11):
these these were Trump supporters right as well as this
most recent situation. They tried to flip it and say, oh,
the leftists or I'm like, this doesn't make sense, right,
But it's only like Maga that does this.

Speaker 1 (39:25):
Okay, all right, I'm assuming she says the most recent
she's referred to Charlie Kirk, So I just I just
want to be clear here. So Butler Pa, the dude
in the bushes down by mar Lago and Charlie, those
were all mega.

Speaker 8 (39:43):
Huh.

Speaker 1 (39:45):
This woman's a member of Congress, like and she honestly
like I understand, I understand that there's people out there
who we talk about the who don't think Trump was shot, right, Bill,
Either it's either it was all stage with like blood packets,
or it was a teleprompter screen that shards, even though

(40:07):
teleprompter screen was not shot and you could clearly see
that from the photos, the post photos. But like she's
full she's full on truth or that it was all
Maga shooting at Trump and Charlie Kirk really like, even
if you think that, why would you say that out
loud when it's so not true, provably not true? That

(40:32):
route the guy from North Carolina hated Trump and we
got you know, we got you read all about it all.
You can also read about you know when again the
conspiratorial stuff with the Ukraine stuff with him. But like,
even if you think it was Ukraine motivation, which some
people do it, that's not Maga. Maga wasn't the one

(40:54):
sitting here going yeah, we should keep stroking checks to Ukraine.
It was clearly the op because they were trying to
hang Trump with it. Absolute lunatic And I did see
was the guy that Charlemagne, the morning host for the
Breakfast Club I will say works for iHeartMedia. By the way,

(41:18):
he was like you are I think he said, you're
like the future of the party and for my button bar,
I hope that's the case. I want that to be
the case so bad, just like yesterday, I wanted the
Marine id fratbroy fratbro story to be true. Looking like
that's not true, Look like Ross, did you see that

(41:38):
so I guess you yeah, because you did the packet.
You saw the story with the where there was so
apparently the rumor was that one of the fraternities at
UNC Wilmington is part of their initiation, was requiring pledges
to take a common access car to CAC from a marine.

(41:59):
So you had to go accost a marine and steal
their ID card or their baby. You know. Then he
gets them on the base, which you know is kind
of a big deal. That thing comes up missing, and
I wanted that to be so true. I want to
go to Wilmington to watch. I wanted to watch the
you know, some kapisig pledge decide that he's gonna go

(42:20):
tangle with the marine and you know who probably wanted
to be true more than me, Marines. This is the
this is the two hundred and fiftieth birthday of the
Marines this week going back to Monday, right, and uh
it's also the drunkest collectively Marines have probably been, which
is saying something, by the way, and now you're gonna

(42:43):
go what You're gonna go tangle with some lance corporal
so you can steal his car.

Speaker 2 (42:46):
Down good luck. Like the dumbest thing I feel like
Lucia's Fox in the Dark Knight where he's talking to
the reporter guy that wants to blackmaila batman, right, remember
that where he's like, good luck with that.

Speaker 1 (42:55):
Yeah, all right, fun, I don't see how that goes.

Speaker 2 (42:59):
Make sure you tape it.

Speaker 1 (43:01):
Oh, I wanted it to be true. It looks like, uh,
somebody just posted something on to Reddit and then you
know how these things go. So but I I've been
like exhaustively looking because I want it to be true,
because I was for what you said. I want it
to be taped and I want to watch it and
you can make a series out of that, and I
think it would do well.

Speaker 2 (43:20):
You have to go up to marine, right, you're gonna
put put your arms around his neck and give him
a niggie. That's what your yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 (43:26):
Or yeah you pick his pocket while you're doing it.
I the meme I posted was that you know where
the guy's dumping the entire bag of quarters into the
wishing well and it just says wishing m F or
would I'm like every marine at le June right now.
And then one of our listeners, who is a marine,
he he pointed out, he goes, dude, if it is true.

(43:47):
If it was true, uh Marines would literally drive to
the lawn of the frat house holding their cards up
saying come get it. And I think he's right. I
think I think that that's a correct assumption because it's
just like, yeah, let's do this thing, man. But yeah,
just an update on that. I think it tracks back

(44:08):
to a Reddit post and then from there it's just,
you know, somebody's fever dream. But maybe I don't know.
If anybody's seen anything that substantiates it, send it to me,
because I again would would absolutely love it. Let me
grab a quick call here, Jacob, what's up.

Speaker 9 (44:25):
Hey, I was just listening and I was telling Ross.
Listening to Jasmine Crockett reminds me that my starting point
based position with Democrats is whatever they say and accuse
you of is exactly what they're doing every single time.

Speaker 1 (44:41):
It's it's such a weird position to hold, like you
can you can hate Trump and still think that it
not that one of his voters tried to murder him twice, right,
Like you can hold that position as a Democrat. Do
you know what I'm saying? Because that's that's a position
I think of a lot of Democrats, right, because it's
a third rail. You don't want to touch it. But man,

(45:01):
this woman will dive headlong into it. It's amazing.

Speaker 10 (45:04):
We give.

Speaker 1 (45:06):
Yeah you too, man, gift that keeps on giving. Love it,
love it, love it. So it's like again, we had
two stories yesterday. I don't know if they're true, but
that one I want to be true. Going back to
the Marines and the frat bros, I want it to
be true. What you wanted?

Speaker 2 (45:26):
Do you want to find a marine?

Speaker 1 (45:27):
Right?

Speaker 2 (45:27):
Okay, just go right down there to the Lujune. Yeah, mosey,
I'm sorry. Where Okay, mosey onto the base. And what
you want to do is take a handful of use
mosey onto the baby, take a handful of glitter and
just toss it in a marine's face. That's the challenge.

Speaker 1 (45:43):
That's the that's that will end. Well yeah that yeah.

Speaker 2 (45:47):
And then you're in our frat club in your I
don't think you call a frat club, but okay whatever whatever.

Speaker 1 (45:54):
Ah. Now, like we have that story that we have
the hunting human story, which Ross also sent me even
though he wasn't working, Like, that's probably not true. But
then I'm like there's some really sick people in the
world that might go to Bosnia to hunt people because whatever.
I don't know, just you know, twisted mofos, so to speak.

(46:19):
But I kind of feel like that journalist just wants
it to be true because he hates guns and rich people.
And that's not even a new thing. The whole rich
people hunting humans thing is almost a played out storyline. Right.
Of course, you had the movies, so many movies, you know,
most dangerous game. You had The Hunt, which, by the way,

(46:40):
turned out to be a pretty good movie. I know
we talked about because everyone thought, ah, it's just a
Democrat fever dream where her shooting quote unquote conservatives. But no,
actually it was a pretty good movie. Like the bad
guys were the the you know, the the East Coast
liberal intelligentsia, so to speak. So like that's been a thing.

(47:02):
And then we see a story every now and then
where Russians are paying to shoot Samoy pirates and so
I don't know, man, I don't know, just got some
crazy stuff in the news. All right, we'll get in.
Let's do this because what we've got some maadio to
go with this. The release yesterday of a handful of

(47:25):
Epstein emails and the shenanigans that went along with how
they doctored the email is one of the most desperate
things I've ever seen, man, And if you actually consume
the totality of the story, arguably it's good for Trump,

(47:47):
bad for Bill Clinton, good for Trump. And I don't
even understand what the barking dog references. I mean, I
understand the reference. There's a reference going back to what
it's like Dickens or something, but like, I don't even
understand the usage. But that's the part people are getting
hung up on. The part that you need to pay
attention to is the reaction of the name. That's the

(48:09):
dead giveaway. And I'll explain in detail what I'm talking
about coming up in just a few minutes right here
on the CaCO Day Radio program. Just a reminder, Stephen
Kent will be joining us. That will be at well
about thirty minutes. Thirty minutes from now. We'll talk about
that Predator movie, you a little update on what's going

(48:31):
on up in DC, just you know, with the shutdown
now officially in the rear view, and just a few
other things. All right, let me go ahead and get
into this. We have some more details on this, and
I don't know that it's going to happen, but we
have some more details on the stimulus, or the two

(48:54):
thousand dollars tariff stimulus, which, by the way, I think
is dumb, right. I think I understand people like, ah,
we're just getting you know, we needed. They should give
us money back because they take too much. I agree
with you. However, I thought the tariff stuff was about
paying down the national debt, and that's kind of what
I want to do because I don't think we should have,

(49:16):
you know, thirty plus trillion in debt. That's just me.
So that's the little Dave Ramsey in me, I guess.
So whatever that being said, there was some questions over
who was going to be eligible. Here is the Treasury secretary.

Speaker 3 (49:32):
Well, there are a lot of options here that the
president's talking about a two thousand dollars rebate, and those
that would be for families making less than say, one
hundred thousand dollars.

Speaker 1 (49:45):
Have you decided on that yet? We haven't. We haven't.
It's in discussion.

Speaker 3 (49:50):
But the other thing to think about, Brian, is that
what we did with the tax bill is actually financing
the presence, no tax and tips over over time, so
security and the big refunds you're going to see are
a result of that. So that's another payment to the
American people.

Speaker 1 (50:09):
And by the way, the gifts keep coming. I did
not know that there was a baby incentive, like if
you don't think Ross is playing forty chess or as
Kamla would say, three d chess, to go ahead and
figure out how to time the baby to basically get
the entire rest of the year off. Apparently there's also

(50:30):
a financial incentive I was not aware of.

Speaker 3 (50:33):
And then the other thing you're going to see in
the middle of the year are these Trump accounts. Every
child born retroactively to January one, for the next three
years is going to get a thousand dollars account that's
going to be invested in the US stock market. So

(50:54):
that's another thousand dollars for working family.

Speaker 1 (50:57):
So yeah, and I said this yesterday when he was
dismantling the CNN people over the currency swap that they
were calling a bailout for Argentina, pointing out that it's
a currency swap and we made money on it, so,
you know, which it probably is hard for their brain
to compute over on CNN where the government might actually

(51:19):
come out financially ahead on something instead of just throwing
money into the money hole. So I understand that, and
I understand it better when I heard this little piece
from Abby Phillips. So Abby Phillips is generally if you
see a Scott Jennings clip, that's the show he's on
the most. I arguably he probably props all of her
ratings up, definitely from the street. You know, I look

(51:43):
at clips, right, nobody's watching Abby Phillips. They're watching Scott Jennings.
They a few moonbats probably are just to be angry,
but they're also watching this. They can be angry at
Scott Jennings. Let's be honest about what's going on. It's
the Howard Stern thing, right, So and so this percentage
listens to you because they love you, and then there's
this other demo that hates you and they listen to
you the most as well. So there's definitely that coming on.

(52:06):
But you like to get into the mind of one
of these CNN hosts and and really unders like to
understand how devoid they are of critical thinking. It's just it,
It's just beyond me. I mean, I understand you got

(52:27):
to be committed to the bit probably to function in
that environment being a host at CNN or MSNBC. But
like she thinks, she thinks she knows everything, and you
all are stupid. The deal is you don't say that,
but she's happy to say listen, listen.

Speaker 8 (52:43):
To this are living in a completely different information worldly liberals,
and breaking that down needs to be done because when
you don't ever even hear the facts, it's hard to
even know that you're wrong. And that happens a lot.
I mean, half my job sometimes is knowing what the

(53:05):
latest conspiracy is yea, so that if it comes up,
I'm ready to address it. Because it happens a lot
where people don't even know that what they're saying or
what they've seen and believe is not true. And so
that that happens a lot, and I don't I don't
come away from that saying what's the point of this?

(53:26):
People are just saying false things. I think that one
time that that person brings up something that is debunked
and false and I debunk it at the table might
be the very first time that sayone out there has
heard an alternative point of view.

Speaker 1 (53:40):
Which I mean, it's just crazy to hear from somebody
over on CNN. Crazy And it's not. Look, it's not
like there are conspiracies on the right that are debunkable.
Those clearly exist just as on the left. But when
you start talking about, you know, mainlining information, like I've
watched so many clips of Abby Phillips show just you know,

(54:03):
mostly it's the Jennings clip and like I'm screaming, I'm
screaming at my phone or my iPad or whatever I'm
watching it on, like it provably, fundamentally, provably wrong. And
Abbey Phillips, when presented with information that does not comport
with her worldview, her thing is to pivot right and

(54:25):
you can you can see it coming a mile away.
Not to debunk it. She's claiming that, oh I'm out
here debunking. No, you're not. Once information or facts get
uncomfortable for Abby Phillips, she changes the subject every time
you watch a clip Scott Jennings makes a point. She
doesn't like, She'll change the subject, cut him right off,
change the subject, but like to honestly believe that, to

(54:48):
honestly believe that the other half of the country has
it one hundred percent wrong in every situation that you're
presented at, and you're some white knight out here to
fix for them all the ego that must take. And
again that's probably what you got to have to function
in a CNN environment. Man, I don't know. I will

(55:09):
tell you this. They're going to be feasting on the
Epstein email thing, which again I don't even fully understand
all of like what the imp like what they thought
they were trying to do. Here, here's the thing that
is the most grotesque, and that is the one email
that talked about Trump being at Epstein's place when quote

(55:33):
a victim was there, and the way that they worded
it was very very Yeah, it's then open to interpretation
because the Democrat Congressional Members committee members who released this,
they changed the email. The email lists the name of
the victim, right, they blacked it out like one of

(55:57):
those redacted CIA files, right. And then you got to
ask yourself, well, why would you do that? Why would
you black out that name and the pro because the
name is the the Guffery girl or give however you
say her name. I apologize, I think I'd get it
wrong most times, but like like kind of the main
victim that most people know who tragically took her own life,

(56:21):
you know here not that long ago, but is on
record in both a book and in multiple interviews as
saying that Trump what never did anything to her, that never, never,
and then Giselaine Maxwell's statement alongside it, where he was
quote always a gentleman. But if if you look at

(56:44):
the totality of it, We're going to play some audio
here in the next segment, Like then you realize why
they redacted it. They redacted it so that it because
they knew that if they showed that name, there's multiple
statements that he didn't do anything, and it wouldn't it
would debunk this whole hatchet job they were trying. That's

(57:06):
that's that's what's so scummy about this. Like you you
made a conscious decision to redact that name because in
the emails it's not redacted than our public record, So
you you made a physical, fundamental change to that so
that it would support this narrative I'm assuming to distract

(57:26):
from how badly all the shutdown stuff went for you.
It's I mean, it's just evil, man, It's just evil.
And we'll play we'll play some audio from the White
House Press Secretary Lovett. She uh, she does a great
job of taking this thing apart. So uh, we'll get
into all that audio here in the next segment. But
first race stage, it's here from the Weather Channel, and man,

(57:49):
can it be Friday already? I need it to be
almost almost? I mean for you, Yeah, you got three
day weeks, so you're.

Speaker 10 (57:59):
So what we do right? So you do burn them up,
burning them up, end of the years on the way.
Can't take them with you anymore, so I use them all.

Speaker 1 (58:07):
Southern New York Post this morning says the Gulf the
golf strings about to quit and we're going to enter
an iceag Is that good for your business? Probably?

Speaker 10 (58:14):
Huh yeah, I would say anything extreme like that, Yeah,
like the Gulf stream going away, ice caps melting, Yeah, yeah,
wool you know, mold, wooly mammoth's coming back. Well, you know,
if you're a Darwinist, it's period of current warming. But
eventually the ice will come. Now what that eventually is?

(58:34):
Were not getting too philosophical with you? Is it ten years,
one hundred years, one thousand years, ten thousand years? I mean,
how old is the Earth? Four billion years? So I
could even say it could be a couple hundred thousand years,
and that could be eventually, right.

Speaker 1 (58:47):
Hey, man, I just want to hunt a wooly mammoths that.

Speaker 2 (58:50):
Yeah, let's go.

Speaker 10 (58:51):
Yeah, Well, none of that certainly getting milder right now.
Looking across the region, we are seven to as much
as twelve to eighteen degrees milder than twenty four hours ago.
So we're better shape Statesville at eighteen degrees milder than
you were yesterday at this time, and then around a

(59:12):
Durham or a Duke thirteen degrees or thirteen degrees milder
that we were yesterday. So temperatures are going up, and
they're going in the right direction, and lots of sun
around little mid sixties today and tomorrow into the seventies,
maybe the low mid seventies over the weekend, and staying
mostly sunny. So this fire thing, he is going to
become another topic of conversation because through next week there

(59:33):
may not be any appreciable rainfall around and temperature is
probably staying in the sixties, so little rebound, not much rain.
New dropt monitor nine o'clock this morning. If I remember Casey,
maybe we'll chat a little bit about that tomorrow. But
I have to imagine that thing's not real good in
terms of the precipitation and where we're going to be

(59:54):
across the state, in terms of the levels of drought
that we were and where we're going. Because it's I
fairly dry. I gonna stay dry over the next seven.

Speaker 1 (01:00:02):
To ten days. Are you Are you a Chick fil
A fan? Yeah? I love Chick fil A, dude. I'm
saying you're you don't get it either. So Chick fil
A is testing, but only in two cities. Chicken and
Waffle breakfast Sandwich. Wow, it's guy, the the the bun
is waffles and then it's got chicken and it's got
bacon on it. You had me at bacon, dude. And

(01:00:28):
the tragedy is they're only doing it in Baltimore and
sand Yeah. You gotta almost almost get murdered to buy one.

Speaker 10 (01:00:36):
So it sounds like an idea I could experiment this weekend.
I'm waffle and Chicken and sounds like a good idea, dude.

Speaker 1 (01:00:44):
It's a great idea and needs to have in North
Carolina a sap and and it will get you one too.
So yeah, okay, all right, man, thank you very much.
There you go race Agic from the weather shower. Ross.
Did you see this, dude, This Chick fil A test sandwich,
waffle buns, bacon, and Chick fil A chicken patty? Yes,
I mean yeah, I tried out for sure. I think

(01:01:06):
I think we need this in our lives and I
you know, so quit this Baltimore and San Antonio. Why
are you testing it there?

Speaker 2 (01:01:12):
Did you see bojangles Is going up to New York?

Speaker 1 (01:01:16):
Are they opening some places? Yeah?

Speaker 2 (01:01:21):
I saw the news and I'm like, I don't think
they deserve it. Oh new Yorkers, Yeah they did.

Speaker 1 (01:01:27):
You go into New York City?

Speaker 2 (01:01:29):
It was somewhere like the Bronx or something weird. Yeah,
or New York's weird in that there's a lot of
It's kind of.

Speaker 1 (01:01:36):
Like Florida a little bit where they'll have like one
office of chains that really aren't in the area. Florida's crazy.
I mean, I understand in Florida because you've got so
many people from all over the country. Like they have
Cincinnati Chili plays they have like two locations in like
Tampa and Miami, which I love. I'm a big fan
of the Cincinnati Chili. And then they have a Portillo's

(01:01:56):
in Tampa, which anyone who's ever been in Chicago understand
how friggin good that is. But like New York has
some weird one offs too. It's kind of a thing
up there, So I'm not surprised. All right, seven forty nine,
We'll take a break, be right back. We're on the Twitter.
And I guess during that time is when these Epstein
emails came out, and the media was so excited, so excited,

(01:02:20):
and I'm like, all right, well now I got to
dig into this, see what's going on. And I watched,
I watched a few different news reports. In fact, let
me give you ABC News's take on this, and it's
it's an interesting watch. Here we go.

Speaker 11 (01:02:37):
There are records that the Department, or rather the House
Oversy Committee subpoenaed from the Epstein estate reems thousands of
pages worth released this morning by Democrats on that panel,
several mentioning President Trump by name.

Speaker 12 (01:02:51):
This morning the Bomb Show release of what House Democrats
say are emails to and from deceased convicted sex offender
Jeffrey Epstein, Several referring to President Donald Trump by name.
In an April twenty eleven email released by Democrats on
the House Oversight Committee. Lawmaker say Epstein wrote to his
now convicted accomplice, Gilenn Maxwell, three years after pleading guilty

(01:03:13):
to sex crimes involving a minor, telling her, I want
you to realize that that dog that hasn't barked is Trump.
Unnamed victim spent hours at my house with him. He
has never once been mentioned, of course.

Speaker 1 (01:03:26):
And so I'm messed up with there. So the unnamed
is interesting because what they did is they blacked out
the word Virginia, which is Guphrey's first name, right, and
then they just blacked it out and then inserted the
word victim over it one hundred percent because they were
fearful that people would understand that. Clearly, she is on

(01:03:47):
the record as saying Trump never did anything to her
on multiple occasions, and Maxwell's own testimony back set up, right,
So Tay, you know that's there's your double source. And
the media knows this. And by the way, they also
have access to these emails, right because they were released.
They are part of the pack. There's twenty three thousand

(01:04:08):
I believe is the number, or maybe it's twenty three
thousand pages, whatever it is. They knew this and could
not be troubled to insert it even though it was
a matter of public record. Here is Caroline Lovett getting
asked about it at the White House Press bride.

Speaker 13 (01:04:24):
I have your statement about the new Epstein emails that
have been released by Hels Democrats. Separate from why you
believe the emails were made public, can you address their substance?
Did the president ever spend hours at Jeffrey Epstein's house
with a victims?

Speaker 14 (01:04:41):
These emails prove absolutely nothing other than the fact that
President Trump did nothing wrong. And what President Trump has
always said is that he was from Palm Beach and
so was Jeffrey Epstein. Jeffrey Epstein was a member at
mar A Lago until President Trump kicked him out because
Jeffrey Epstein was a pedophile and he was a creep.
And this email you refer to with the name of

(01:05:03):
a victim that was unredacted now and has since been
reported on in this room. So I will go ahead
and say it, Virginia.

Speaker 1 (01:05:10):
Guffrey, It is that that wonderful time of the week
we get to delve into not that we don't do
it the rest of the week, but we really get
to focus on it. Various NERD slash, conspiracy theory, slash
entertainment news with our correspond to Stephen Kent. What's up, Stephen,
how you doing.

Speaker 4 (01:05:28):
I'm doing well. Good morning.

Speaker 1 (01:05:30):
Your city's open again, so that's right, that's good for
you up there, DC.

Speaker 4 (01:05:34):
Yes, the Death Star is operational once again. Made the
galaxy rejoice.

Speaker 1 (01:05:40):
Okay, all right? How I mean it's a different perspective because, like,
you know, everyone works for the government up there. But
like I was talking to somebody at one of the
one of the organizations we've done radio rows with, and
he's like, yeah, it's not really that different during the
shutdown there. He was explaining a few key differences, but like,

(01:06:00):
does everybody just snap back, Like is everybody commuting this morning?
I mean, what's the vibe?

Speaker 4 (01:06:05):
Yeah, So I would imagine that that actually is a
big part of it. You know, we do a lot
of driving up here in and out of d C,
and traffic has been pretty light. You know, people are
actually not going about their daily lives, so traffic is left.
So we're waiting for that to come back and our
lives will get worse again.

Speaker 1 (01:06:23):
Dude, I got to tell you what I'll tell you.
My DC traffic story is I was up in d C.
This was years ago, and we were I was going
over one of the bridges. I think it's the bridge
when you leave Reagan go into d C. I don't
know what name that bridge is. But of course it
turned into like a traffic nightmare. And because there was
a dude who was who was suicidal and he's on

(01:06:46):
he's over across the railing on the bridge, threatening to
jump into the Potomac or whatever. And I remember people
in d C with their windows down demanding that he'd
do it so that they can un gridlock the traffic,
Like good lord man, there's yeah, they're screaming with this

(01:07:07):
guy to kill himself so that they can because they're
stuck in traffic. We were all stuck in traffic. I
was like, oh my gosh, man, that is some jaded
stuff there. All right, let me get let me pivot
over to some movies. So, by the way I just
saw this, I realized, Ross President hasn't tipped you off.
They're making a third Gremlins movie. Did you were you?

(01:07:29):
Did you ever? Do you like Gremlins back of the.

Speaker 4 (01:07:32):
Day, So I'm not I'm not a huge Gremlins fan.
But you know, the first one of the great movie.
This is one of Chris Columbus's fine standout movies. And
you know, for those who don't know, like Chris Columbus,
did you know the Home Alone movies? He also did
Harry Potter and The Sorcerer's Down. So I'm always down
for a new Chris Columbus movie.

Speaker 1 (01:07:50):
Well, and the producer of Spielberg on this.

Speaker 4 (01:07:54):
Okay, well, you know, there's always hope it.

Speaker 2 (01:07:56):
Could be good.

Speaker 1 (01:07:57):
Yeah, no, it's I'm here for And it's extremely archuble too.
It's like, you know, this was the baby Gizmo, was
the baby Yoda before Baby Yoda.

Speaker 4 (01:08:07):
That's correct. And he even he even has Yoda's ears.

Speaker 1 (01:08:10):
Yeah, so I you know this, maybe they'll do a
good job. I look, here's the deal. If it's the
same people from back in the day, you know, rebooting
or in this case, it'll be the third Gremlins, they're
gonna call it Gremlins three, I guess, so it'll be
its own new storyline. I'm kind of cool with that.
Like Spielberg so much. My childhood was Spielberg and Columbus

(01:08:33):
and you know, Zamechis and all of these people. I
don't mind if they want to, if they want to
add on to their own legacy. I think there's some
really cool stuff you can do. But like Gremlins is
one of my favorite movies as a kid.

Speaker 4 (01:08:46):
Like, yeah, and you have to imagine again with the
cute factor for Gizmo and the and the Gremlins, that
you're gonna have a lot of Zoomer's gen z and younger,
younger people who actually are like, oh my gosh, I've
never heard of this. This is adorable.

Speaker 1 (01:09:02):
And remember what not to do with them?

Speaker 15 (01:09:06):
Oh my gosh, what not to do with the water
water After Midnight Son described describes teenagers.

Speaker 1 (01:09:16):
I think, well, let's talk. Let's talk movies that are
in theaters. I'll get to the Nuremberg one because I'm
very curious because that one one where I'm like, I
kind of want to see this. But the top movie
is the new predator movie bad Lands. And it's my understanding,
I have not seen it, but apparently the Predators the

(01:09:37):
good guy now and he's got like family strife and
issues and all this. I don't know how I feel
about that. Man.

Speaker 4 (01:09:44):
Yeah, So I'm with you on that now. First of all,
everybody should know that. The reviews for this movie are
generally quite good. You know, Rotten Tomatoes eighty five percent
is you know, nothing to balk at for a franchise
with a lot of nerds, who are you know, pretty
invested in this being good. This is taking you to
the home world of the Predators. You know, this is

(01:10:05):
the guy who of course fights Arnold Schwarzenegger and the
Predator movie. Now, I'm not into this kind of thing.
I don't want to know about the home world of
the Predators. I don't want to know how they're raised
as children. I just want to see them come to
Earth and then be killed by our heroes. That's what
I enjoy from that franchise. But this is something of
like an honor story where we're seeing how they become

(01:10:27):
men on their world. And the culture war has just
basically been around Ellie Fanning being in the movie and
playing a whyland U Tani robot, you know, typically a
blond girl who's going to be his sidekick throughout the movie.
You know, But people seem to like it. So the
reviews are good. The box office is crushing it. It

(01:10:48):
might be better than it looks.

Speaker 1 (01:10:50):
I just you can't nice up by villains, right, Like,
what other franchise could you?

Speaker 13 (01:10:56):
Like?

Speaker 1 (01:10:56):
Oh, le, Jason Vorhees, Well, this is the day, this
is the before he went to camp, right, there's no
need to ruin this, And uh yeah, I feel like
if it works, other people will look at other things
where they'll try to kind of reimagine you know, Oh,
let's let's get it from his perspective. The perspective is
the Predator comes and hunts people and then keeps their

(01:11:18):
head and spine. Right.

Speaker 4 (01:11:19):
But but but they already they already did this with
Alien Versus Predator. I mean, what was that twenty years
ago when Alien Versus Predator came out and the Predator
ends up aligned with the human beings to stop the Xenomorse.
Because we've always known about Predator that they have an
honor code. Yes, they hunt human beings and pull their
spines right out of their bodies, but they are honor

(01:11:42):
based warriors. And so you know, there's a case to
be made that we can see how their culture is,
you know, formed. But I've just never really been interested
in it personally.

Speaker 1 (01:11:53):
But that was like that was like Ducks Unlimited. Right, Okay,
there's a there's so ducks. Here's the deal, unlimited pheasants forever.
These organizations that are hyper focused on these game birds, right,
they're doing it because they want more around to shoot. Okay,
so of course, of course, so the predators like, you're
screwing with my game. Like, so I don't know that

(01:12:14):
that's honorable motivation there, but it's like I said, if
you're an endangered species, you just got to get an
organization that wants to hunt you, and so much money
will be thrown at you.

Speaker 4 (01:12:25):
Now for sure. But you know, again, I've always liked
the predator franchise. Do you remember the movie Predators? That
was the one where a bunch of criminals wake up
and they're on a predator hunting world that I thought
was one of the better reboots of this franchise. And again,
you end up in a position in that movie where
a smaller predator who is sort of on the outs

(01:12:46):
of all the rest of his kind ends up aligning
with the human beings to fight the bigger predator. And
you get this a lot.

Speaker 1 (01:12:54):
It's a selfish motivation. So but I guess they're going
a full hero story, all right. So actually the one,
the one that interested me more is the Nuremberg and
you currently have seen it, so please tell me it's good.

Speaker 4 (01:13:09):
Okay, So I'm going to I'm going to tell you
two things. It is wonderfully acted by Russell Crowe Rammy Mallick,
who is a psychiatrist who is spending time with Hermann Goring,
of course, the head of the Lufwaffa and Hitler's heir
to power. If Hitler, you know, were to dive into
the war, what you did? So Goring turns himself in

(01:13:30):
and then he is, of course trying to survive the
Nuremberg Trials as they're being put together. That's the premise
of this movie. It is a good history film for
high schoolers, middle schoolers. You know, like when you sit
down in high school and you have to like watch
Remember the Titans to learn about Jim Crow and racism
in the decades past, and you watch Saving Private Ryan.

(01:13:52):
This is one of those movies. It's family friendly PG. Thirteen,
somewhat cheesy, and doesn't go super deep into the psychology
and moral questions of the Nazi regime in Nuremberg. It's
very surface level and in that sense, I kind of
walked away unsatisfied. But it does serve a purpose.

Speaker 1 (01:14:16):
Okay, all right, you know I really liked Bridge of Spies.
Is it kind of in there?

Speaker 4 (01:14:22):
Yeah? And I would say so, And you know that
was a Tom Hanks movie. This movie features Colin Hanks,
his son. All the actors in this movie are the
kind of guys who you know made appearances in Band
of Brothers and Saving Private Ryan. This stars Russell Crowe
and Michael Shannon and John Slattery from mad Men. It's
a good movie. I just as a World War Two

(01:14:45):
junkie and someone who really wanted to see a deep
psychological plunge into Hermann Goring. This movie just doesn't really
go there. I've described it as when a fourteen or
fifteen year old watches this movie, their mind will be
because they're learning about the Nazi regime and the Holocaust,
maybe for the first time in school. But if you're

(01:15:06):
really into this history, I think you'll find this movie.

Speaker 1 (01:15:09):
I'm satisfied, and I think I think the story of
Goring is actually a pretty interesting one. During his time
essentially during Nuremberg, like like he he would like mess
with the guards. There's a lot of little stories there.
So I don't know how much they incorporated.

Speaker 4 (01:15:26):
They very much do. Yeah, I mean he's playing mind
games with everybody, and that's kind of the psychological element.
The movie is built as a thriller, it just doesn't thrill.
They just they just don't achieve the thriller status.

Speaker 1 (01:15:40):
Well, it's just the part where I got I got
the vibe learning uh. Like again, I haven't seen the movie,
but you know, with Gory, he just thought everything was
a game to this guy, like like, you're you're you
just did the thing and now you're this worldwide trial
and uh, you just there's no remorse, there's no there's
none of that. There's just yeah, like the mind and
so you have to have to be in that situation

(01:16:02):
and still think that you're one hundred percent right is
crazy to me.

Speaker 4 (01:16:07):
Ye Ondercent, It's there's a couple of good lessons in
this movie. I definitely do encourage people to watch it,
in particularly to get their teams to watch it. I'm
just you know, there's a couple of things I found
disappointing about it. But I will tell you Michael Shannon
is one of the chief lawyers in this movie, who
is you know, indicting uh and and going in trial

(01:16:28):
against Hermann Goring. Michael Shannon is also in a new
series on Netflix called Death by Lightning, where he plays
President Andrew Garfield, one of our other assassinated presidents at
the end of the Civil War. This series is fantastic.

Speaker 1 (01:16:46):
It I highly recommend it. I have Oh, it's it's
so good.

Speaker 4 (01:16:51):
I mean, this is an understated piece of American history.
In the years after the Civil War. Uh, you know,
there are political reformers trying to squash corruption in the
US government, the spoil system as it used to be called,
where you enter government and then you basically sell off
cabinet positions to all of your your donors and your

(01:17:12):
flunkies and people who move things for you. Not that
that would ever happen now, of course. And James Garfield
comes out of nowhere to win the presidency and picks
Chester A. Arthur as his vice president, who is a
corrupt person and member of the spoil system. And it's
all about that conflict and then eventually his assassination by

(01:17:33):
a madman named Charles Guiteau. It's a great story.

Speaker 1 (01:17:38):
Yeah, And although there is the thing where now people
who don't watch her to think Garfield died by getting
struck by lightning and not a festering bullet wound. But
you know, that's the way you've can watch this stuff, man.
And I was just thinking of this. So Tom Hanks's
character in Bridge of Spies that the person he portrayed
was an actual person was one of the prosecutors of

(01:17:58):
Nurember too, So did they like, oh my gosh, okay, yeah,
that was that was why they kind of tapped him
because he had the he had the experience with the
Nuremberg trials. Is he portrayed in Nuremberg? Does that character
in the movie.

Speaker 4 (01:18:12):
I'd have to know his name. I'm not sure.

Speaker 1 (01:18:15):
Yeah, I'm just kind of looking it up here. All right, Well,
I'll figure it out. Just because we're a little a
little tight here. I want to talk about I want
to talk about GTA. So there was an announcement that
basically there, you know, once again, the release state has
been pushback, pushback. I was kind of digging into this
where GTA Rockstar Games fired like thirty some employees for

(01:18:40):
I guess posting something on discord, even though it was
an internal discord. The union says they're doing it to
union bus. But regardless of that, what I found really
interesting is a couple like Whistleblowers who wrote stuff who
still work at Rockstar, who talked about how Rockstar has
fundamentally changed and not for the better some people's opinion, specifically,

(01:19:02):
once they realized the amount of money they could make
with GTA online with the last release, they were halfway
through building single player updated content for Red Dead Redemption two,
which is what were the top five video games ever
from a financial standpoint, and they have just a band
and they've abandoned the concept of updating single player games,

(01:19:24):
and people think that's going to be the future. So one,
why do you think it's going to be delayed? Do
you think the estimates that they could make seven billion
dollars off this game are accurate and for the future
of games? And I prefer single player I hate playing online.
Are we just screwed?

Speaker 4 (01:19:41):
Well? I do think that it's going to fall short
of it's you know, actual profit projections. Like when you
when you delay a game this much, you do not
build excitement, You only build cynicism. And I have to
point out that one of the funniest things that has
happened is that this was discussed just the other day
the Polish Parliament. A politician by the name of mitvol

(01:20:04):
two minutes. He's one of the far right members of
the Confederation Party in Poland. He took to the floor.
He took to the floor of parliament and called it
a huge scandal and a disturbing matter, and started going
on to his colleagues about how Rockstar delayed GTA GTA six.
It's it's pretty funny going around. I know, yeah, people,

(01:20:26):
people are mad.

Speaker 1 (01:20:29):
But do you think that this if if they're rewarded
for the abandoning of doing updated content like that was
one of the coolest things to have a game, because
with the first Red Dead, didn't they they do it?
They did a zombie follow up, right or they did? Yeah,
Like that's the kind of stuff that you want. But
if you're looking at seven billion dollars and you got

(01:20:49):
idiots that are willing to pay one hundred dollars for
downloadable apartments that look nice, I don't know that I
can blame them. All right, well, we we will see
how pans out. Man. All right, I'm gonna watch the
Garfield thing. By the way, it's what six episodes.

Speaker 4 (01:21:05):
It's only four episodes. If you've yeah, you got you
got yourself an evening to yourself. It's you can watch
it all in one night.

Speaker 1 (01:21:13):
Okay, all right, thank you for the recommendation, Steven, do
appreciate it, and we'll chit chat. Let's see next week
and then we're on thinking. We got a bunch of
ak coming up too, so you're gonna have it easy.
But for now, that's where we'll leave it. Thank you, sir,
greicks Elsey.

Speaker 4 (01:21:27):
I'll see you later.

Speaker 1 (01:21:28):
All right, there you go. We'll get that little nerd
drop right at the end. All right, we will be
back in just a few Hang on a movie story.
I didn't bring it up with Stephen because I mapped
it out and I think it's probably before his time.
But they were they were doing a live action garbage
pale kids movie. Uh and it was I think it

(01:21:51):
was Michael Eisner's company was doing it. And that is
finat now they're not gonna do it apparently. I know
you're gonna be shocked to learn us one the first
they made a garbage pel kids movie back in the day. Dude,
I was obsessed with those cards. Ross and I were
just talking. He's he had a bunch too, But like

(01:22:12):
they made a movie back in the day, and it
was so awful and it was like, you remember how
disappointing some of the early movies for like the Nintendo
stuff was, and then how bad the Street Fighter movie was,
Like for whatever reason, they just couldn't any traction. The
garbage pel Kids movie was worse somehow. It's just awful.

(01:22:32):
But now they've realized that it's gonna be hard to
do a garbage pel Kids movie, because I know you're
shocked to learn this. Apparently some of the garbage pail
kids are not exactly PC.

Speaker 2 (01:22:43):
You think, how did you not know that going in?

Speaker 1 (01:22:48):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (01:22:49):
Dude, yeah, I mean that was currency in the playground.

Speaker 1 (01:22:51):
Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:22:53):
I had just a binder full of like like Romney's
binders full of women like binders full of garbage pail
kid cards, so many of them.

Speaker 1 (01:23:01):
Dude. That was right when I got into card collecting too.

Speaker 12 (01:23:04):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (01:23:05):
I was collecting baseball cards and then garbage poke and
my mom hated the garbage pil kids like like, I
don't even understand where that rage came from. She just thought,
like she didn't just think they were dumb. She hated
I don't remember why, but she's just if I left
it out where she could see one of those, or
I stuck it to somewhere she could see it. She'd
just be like, you need to no, get that away

(01:23:27):
from here, Get that away from me. When it wasn't
some like objection like the Witchcraft objection, which was you know,
from a Christian perspective, she didn't. She didn't like any movie.
It was just she just thought they were the dumbest
things ever.

Speaker 2 (01:23:38):
Oh, she probably thought they were gross, right, which they
were supposed to be.

Speaker 1 (01:23:41):
That's the point.

Speaker 2 (01:23:42):
Yeah, Well, you're playing with your slimy fist thing that
sticks to the wall, remember that, dad. Yeah, And they
had these puppets. I don't remember what they were called,
but it was probably like early nineties, maybe late eighties,
and it was like a like a rubbery nasty ball
puppet that you'd like your two fingers of the eyes
and your one finger.

Speaker 1 (01:24:02):
I think they're called monster bolts.

Speaker 2 (01:24:03):
Yeah, and you were just they were so gross looking
you could like turn them inside out with like a
head explode. You remember those things.

Speaker 1 (01:24:09):
I just remember that clearly. I don't buy a lot
of kids toys. In fact, the last time I bought
toys for well maybe it's not the last because but
I now because I ordered some stuff online for my
nephews and nieces but physically went into until we did.
Was the drum kit I bought for your kid. Just

(01:24:31):
one of my favorite purchases ever. By the way, lincoln'sdrum
set when he was well, what was he like three?
When I got that for him. Oh man, And then
what happened to it? Somebody stole it or something.

Speaker 2 (01:24:42):
Yeah, man, somebody broke into the house and stole it.
We still have a Lincoln best hit on the drum
set from back in the day. It's from twenty fourteen. Yeah,

(01:25:05):
and that's him now we figured out what he was doing.
He's doing now was like at the beginning of his
like Michael Jackson fascination. That's him doing black and white
on the drums.

Speaker 1 (01:25:12):
Oh. I thought that was Phil Collins Man. Very good dude,
that was.

Speaker 2 (01:25:18):
And then somebody came in and stole it.

Speaker 1 (01:25:20):
It's amazing, it's gone. I told you for my the
the guy did radio with in Minneapolis. I didn't get
his kind of drum set. I found something even more diabolical.
I found this plastic bold that when he throw it
at something and it hits it. It it emanates a
sound and it's the sound of breaking glass. And I
gave I gave that to his youngest son, who was

(01:25:42):
like three at the time, and so every time he's
in another room throwing that ball, you think he's breaking
a window. Absolutely, what a horrible, horrible thing. So glad
I found it. But I was gonna say, so we
do this, this this fundraising thing. In fact, we got
it coming up here the first week of December, so
I expect you all to donate. It's with toys for

(01:26:03):
tots and Marines and all that stuff. We do what's
called Stuff of Us in the Triangle area. We're in
Carrie at the Walmart down there on Kildeer Farm and
we're hanging out for three days out front, so you
bring toys. But occasionally people would see it. They didn't
realize we were doing it, and they'd be like, here,
here's some money to donate. And so whoever is working

(01:26:25):
the booth would then go into the Walmart, go into
the toy aisle and buy stuff with the money right
to donate to the kids. And boy, I think we
got seventy five hundred toys or something last year or
something like that, so thank you. But I remember being
in the toy aisle, which I didn't never go into,
and I'm like, toys suck. These toys suck. Everything is

(01:26:47):
like faux educational and like, yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:26:50):
They're all sort of like the cartoons out now for kids,
where there's also there's always like an academic angle to it,
and yeah, there's not made like they used to be
made in the eighties, like good solid toys.

Speaker 1 (01:27:01):
Yeah. If your toys can't injure you, what are you doing, right?
Or if they can't be corrupted to use in the
way that they were not intended and still be fun,
what are you doing. I'm not saying we need to
bring jarts back, but you know, maybe we do. But
like I remember being in there and I'm likes, all
looks dumb. And then I thought, all right, I'm gonna
go to the fishing aisle and I got a bunch

(01:27:24):
of like kids fishing gear because I think that's far
more productive. You're gonna make the kids learn something. Uh,
they should learn how to fish. That'd be amazing. So
and I also wanted to do a machete but our
boss said no.

Speaker 2 (01:27:36):
You know, and it wasn't like the toys back in
the eighties or the nineties, but specifically the eighty It's
not like they were all made out of metal or something, right,
It isn't like the bag of glass in SNL. Yeah,
but they were still like he Man was made out
of plastic, right, But it was solid, right, it was
like thick. It was quality. Now it's like they're you
can break these toys easily, yeah, but you were trying to.

(01:27:58):
You were trying to break a he Man. Good luck
with that man. You could take off the arms of
the head and stuff, but you can put them back out.
But like that center mask, no way impossible. And and
and we had legacy toys too. We had aspirational toys,
which I guess they still kind of do. But like
if you heard your friend got a full size ad
at right, or the G I Joe Craft Carrier Voltron

(01:28:21):
if you yes, yeah, dude, you would. You have to
go to your friend's house to see it, right, You're
just like, holy crap, I can see one in person.

Speaker 1 (01:28:29):
The the the G I Joe aircraft carrier. Do you
know anyone who had one of those?

Speaker 2 (01:28:34):
I I didn't know anyone rich enough to have that toy.
Because that was rich person toyo. You had that toy
as a kid, either your parents killed somebody to get
it or they were just rich, no doubt. I mean
it would take up back if we had that toy,
it would like take up our living room back in
the day.

Speaker 1 (01:28:54):
What was I was trying. There's one other one. It's
the only legacy toy that I ever acquired as a kid.
And it it bro That's what it was. It was
the It was the Death Star. Did you the the
Death Star? Where it would it would open like a cabinet.
Did you do you have one of those?

Speaker 12 (01:29:11):
No?

Speaker 1 (01:29:11):
Do you ever see one of those? I got it
second hand, though, so I got it literally second hand.
But that's okay. I think I think my mom found
it in like, yeah, thrift store.

Speaker 2 (01:29:21):
Who cares, man, You know.

Speaker 1 (01:29:23):
I was so happy to have that and I was
I would like tell everybody I wanted to bring it
to school and she wouldn't let me. And I think
I did break it. I just don't remember how. But
like that was, Oh dude, that was just the That
was the greatest having that thing. Put a little we
had like a globe stand and I took the globe
out of it and then put the Death Star in
it and put it in my room, and yeah, that

(01:29:46):
was That was a high society.

Speaker 2 (01:29:48):
The question is, though, if you were to destroy the
Death Star, how would you do it? Nobody knows.

Speaker 1 (01:29:54):
I think I threw it at something and catch it
or something. I can't remember. Just talking about how much
better toys were back in the day.

Speaker 10 (01:30:03):
The target chefs two meters wide.

Speaker 1 (01:30:05):
You got to use the photon torpedo, would you say, yeah, yeah, okay,
the one they have an exhaust port. I mean you
do have a change. There's nothing you do have to
have air exchange. I mean there's no air in space,
so it really didn't make any sense.

Speaker 10 (01:30:23):
But you had the Death Star, dude. I never advanced
to the Death Star. Mom and dad just never.

Speaker 1 (01:30:31):
I honestly. The only reason I acquired I think she
got to edit a garage sale, now that I remember,
So she got it edited garage sales. I think what happened,
because there's no way where I was getting burst it
now fresh one, you don't still have it to you, no.

Speaker 2 (01:30:46):
What they what they need to do is make like
a show or a movie about why that that weakness
was on the Death Star Because it's so obvious. You know,
they should make a movie about that or a show.

Speaker 1 (01:30:55):
They should. Yeah, they should, because so would I.

Speaker 10 (01:30:59):
I mean I I've been looking for a death Star
on the marketplace if there are some, but I'm obtaining
three hundred dollars, also an Imperial Shuttle. But I do
have my original figures, plus land Speeder X wing fighter
and Darth Vader tie fighter, all intact.

Speaker 1 (01:31:14):
By the way, I'm locked in something, so they're not toys.

Speaker 10 (01:31:19):
You've got them displayed on shelves in my Star Wars
themed theater movie theater. Cool.

Speaker 2 (01:31:24):
I want to see that.

Speaker 1 (01:31:25):
Okay, I get some pics. Did you see the home
depots selling the R two D two? Apparently it's a
hot commodity. No, I didn't have the four size one
actual size, yeah, make you know it does all the stuff.
So that's cool. That is cool. That's what Ray wants
for Christmas. Could be all right, man, Christmas weather or

(01:31:46):
not yet, no dope.

Speaker 10 (01:31:48):
Gradually getting back into the seventies, maybe near seventy five
for the Triangle on Sunday, low seventies for the try
at a slow climb though a little bit sixties today
and tomorrow. Seeing some clouds this morning. I think we'll
go mostly sunny later. Really depends on really where you
are this morning, as this cloud deck's been kind of
stubborn and hanging around in some spots around the Triad

(01:32:12):
and points just to the west. But either way, no rain,
and as we get into the weekend will be low
to mid seventies most likely Saturday and Sunday. If you
don't get there Saturday in the Tribe, you'll be pretty close.
And then we'll cool down a little bit next week.
But still no rain. As you know, the continued dry
weather for the next seven days, maybe even longer.

Speaker 1 (01:32:30):
Okay, all right, thank you, sir, appreciate it. You racetaging
from the Weather Channel back in just a few minutes
with Denise PELAGRENI hang on.

Speaker 16 (01:32:37):
See Starbucks Burista workers are talking about making the strike
today even bigger than it is right now. So far,
about one thousand workers at more than sixty five stores
on starbucks promotional Red Cup Day are striking, disturbing the
force on the very day Starbucks tries to get more
foot traffic right by giving away those reusable free red cups.

(01:32:57):
This year's cup features an image of a starbus. Books
coffee shop by artist Von Chan in case you're wondering,
and Workers United accuses Starbucks of refusing to fairly negotiate.
Starbucks denies wrongdoing, though it accuses the Union of abandoning negotiations.
Disney is blaming film studio expenses for weaker than expected results,

(01:33:18):
saying expenses tied to the theatrical release of Zootopia Too
and Avatar Fire and Ash will cut earnings by about
four hundred million dollars in the first quarter. Disney is
predicting growth will intensify in the second half of the year,
but investors aren't buying that. This morning, NBC Universal is
launching a new cable sports channel next week. NBCSN will

(01:33:40):
carry sports including NBA games and Premier League soccer, and
also some sports talk programming. It helps to include NBCSN
in slim down bundles through PATV distributors. This could give
NBC another way to make money off their sports content.
Fan duel debuting a prediction market app to rival Calshi.
This will theoretically allow it to open up in states

(01:34:01):
where traditional sports betting is illegal, including South Carolina.

Speaker 2 (01:34:05):
Stock futures.

Speaker 16 (01:34:06):
Right now, they're lower Dow futures down ninety three S
and P futures down nineteen, Nasdaq futures down ninety four
Cisco shares. They are higher after the AI fueled outlook
at the top maker of machines that run computer networks
and the Internet exceeded estimates. And Casey, have you had
those Trader Joe's cornbread crisps? So apparently they bring these

(01:34:30):
back every year, right, kind of like the McRib Right,
you don't know exactly when it's going to come back,
but you hope that it does, and it often does.
They keep you waiting all year long, then they unveil this.
Apparently this year the things are the same as last year,
but this year people are just going crazy on the
internet over these things, just absolutely raving about them. I'm

(01:34:53):
not sure why I don't love them. I was trying
to figure out what people like about them. But there
is a new line of Cheetos and Dorito's. Pepsi is
introducing these naked versions of its popular snacks, strip out
artificial dyes. Casey, So these neu Cheetos and Doritos won't
make your fingers turned orange, uh when you eat them,

(01:35:13):
but they claim that they're still finger looking good.

Speaker 1 (01:35:16):
What's what's the point then? Why why would you remove
the thing that makes it the thing?

Speaker 16 (01:35:23):
I knew you would say that I'm.

Speaker 1 (01:35:26):
Not inflicted one on the Starbucks thing, because I just
I clearly we're talking about a red cup. And last
week I saw grown adults beating each other up over
a Teddy Bear cup or whatever the hell that thing was.

Speaker 16 (01:35:37):
Right, the barista, the Teddy Bear bar the Hello Kitty
Teddybear barista.

Speaker 1 (01:35:42):
Yeah, this is why, this is why I hate going
into any retail environment this time of the year. Yeah,
remember all this time of the year.

Speaker 16 (01:35:50):
I remember going into a like a rushing into a
bargain for clothes once and my hair got caught on
some girl's button as she was trying to Russian fast.
It was like I literally got like pulled in with her.

Speaker 1 (01:36:05):
And he beat her down and went on the internet.

Speaker 16 (01:36:08):
I grab her clothes and that she was trying to
buy and buy myself. No, but definitely like I lost
I lost my you know, competitive taste for yees. After that,
I ordered online.

Speaker 1 (01:36:22):
That's that's the way to go, all right.

Speaker 16 (01:36:23):
But you know people, Yeah, people scramble for those freebies
because they know they can resell them on eBay.

Speaker 1 (01:36:29):
Oh yeah, no, no no, it's just all the worst people
in the one spottle at the same time.

Speaker 16 (01:36:33):
That Hello Kitty Barista goes for like three hundred and
fifty bucks.

Speaker 10 (01:36:37):
On you pin.

Speaker 1 (01:36:38):
Yeah. Oh no. I saw they have pokemon uh card
dispensing like vending machines and like people fight each other
over those. I'm like that, I don't know what the
heck's going on. All right, I appreciate it. Denise, we
got a roll, Thank you very much. Yep, there go
Denise PELAGREENI from Bloomberg News. What do we got We

(01:36:58):
got time for Yeah, we got time for them. Yes,
let's do it.

Speaker 2 (01:37:04):
Florida Man, Florida Man.

Speaker 17 (01:37:06):
Is something in the waderty eror sand that makes you
do all that crazy crap. It's like the state is
one be dumb ass trapped nowhere else.

Speaker 2 (01:37:15):
How's the Florida Man.

Speaker 17 (01:37:17):
It is almost like, as the Weird Factor climbs, you
find out it haven't in Florida every time, Florida, then
Florida Man. If anyone can cheer me, if you know
you can, just mind life be crazy. But of course,
but it's not as bad crap crazy as yours.

Speaker 1 (01:37:36):
Nowhere else are you gonna find him.

Speaker 17 (01:37:39):
They're so used to it, they don't find him.

Speaker 2 (01:37:42):
Hooray for Florida man.

Speaker 1 (01:37:45):
Well, in this case, it's Florida woe man. And a
Florida woman was going one hundred and seven miles an
hour as police pulled her over in Saint Petersburg. The
speed limit, by the way on Highway nineteen is fifty five.
But it's why she's going so fast that this thing
has ended up in the news. According to the police report,

(01:38:07):
the driver explained to the officer and she was obstinate
about it too. I guess that the reason she was
going one hundred and seven was justified because she was
trying to get to the Little Caesars before it closed.
