Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
If I had to rank the best days, right, you
got your religious holidays boom, all right, that's your thing,
America holidays, Fourth of July veterans, you know what I'm
talking about, your own personal holidays, birthday's anniversaries, your kids' birthday, well,
you know those kinds of things. And then undeniably the

(00:25):
Masters followed closely by the British Open, but only because
it's one that I get to watch while doing the
show the whole time, just due to the time change.
So yes, welcome to it. Today is Masters Thursday, and
we are super excited here. So are you faded down

(00:46):
because you probably have to trim all that? I don't know.
Actually I think you can use it when you're talking
about it. But because they are so different, man, do
you know I was reading an article this is this
is Sometimes you have FU money and sometimes you have
Fu tradition is the only way I can describe it.

(01:07):
And the Masters really has both, but they could have
a lot more of the first one. So let me
let me take you through it. Yes, we're doing this,
Yes there will be other stuff too. But you know,
going back to many many years ago when the National
Organization of Women decide they were gonna go down there,
and they had they had sent a letter to the masters.

(01:30):
This is when a guy named Hoody was running it.
So things were already not looking good for them, and
they were like, all right, it's just being a jerk, okay.
So a guy named Hoody was running it, and they decided, Okay,
we're gonna s we're gonna send this letter and we're

(01:51):
gonna we're gonna let you know that we're gonna full
out boycott and protest and make things difficult for you
unless you agree to start accepting female members. Now, the
membership over to Gusta works in very very different ways,
but it is definitely a boys club, or at least
it was probably that still mostly is like there's no membership.

(02:14):
It's like a regular country club where you gotta stroke
a giant car sized check and then every month basically
a rental thing, you know, and many clubs are far
more than that. It's it's about being asked. It's about
being asked, and if you're asked, you've become a member.

(02:34):
You don't pay anything, did you show up, you do
your stuff. They got all sorts of rules, though they're
very very very rule is, and we found out yesterday
how much of a stickler they are. I'll share that
with you. But that's how it worked. And so what
did Hoody do? He called their four largest advertisers for
their Master's coverage. It was like IBM at the time.

(02:55):
They ford an investment place whatever he called him in
said hey, this year, we ain't gonna take your money.
We're not running ads. And for two years they didn't
run any advertising at all. They took all of the
leverage away from the from the the now ladies who
showed up anyway and went back and forth with people

(03:17):
outside the gate. I talked about some dudes you got arrested,
use fake names and made for very funny news coverage.
But they did it. They did whatever they were gonna do.
And then they had this blend after where they didn't
go to straight ads. They kind of had like voiceover
stuff that they'd have Jim nance Reid And now it's
it's it's sure as heck. Is not like the others

(03:39):
because you can go and you can put the Masters app.
They have their own app. It's a very good app
and you can put that bad boy up on I
have it on my Apple TV put on smart TVs.
You just you sign up. It's free and you can
watch all sorts of stuff through it. And this is
even though they're broadcasting with their broadcast partners, and you

(04:00):
can watch all the old Masters if you really want
a nerd out. And then they did what I consider
one of the funniest things, because you had these leftist
activists who were just so upset because they couldn't run
their game. Why because the masters didn't care that they
were leaving. And this is what the article. They estimated

(04:21):
that they left two hundred and fifty million dollars on
the table to make their point of ad revenue they
could have had they they took that. Some guys showed
up and said I'm here to stab you, and they
stabbed themselves. You know what they did. They did a
kaiser SoSE Man, they're the Kaiser SoSE of golf showed

(04:44):
these women of will what will really was. And so
then it came time, we're going to allow a female
member in our first one?

Speaker 2 (04:52):
Do you know who?

Speaker 1 (04:52):
Ross? Do you know who? It was? Republican Condillieza Rice
Condialeza Rice was the first few no member of Augusta.
And that drove the moonbats, even moon Battier because we
were still right on the you know, in the George
Bush era where he was literally Satan, not the redeemed individual.

(05:13):
Now who's on par with Hillary according to the new
AP textbooks. Oh I love it. So couple with all
of that, all of that history right there, How could
you not get excited about this unless you're Mark Calcavecchia,
who literally was thrown off the course yesterday. Now he's

(05:36):
not playing in it. This goes to what I was
talking about with rules Man. So if you go to Augusta,
Augusta's So here's the deal. I have pulled media credentials
for the PGA Championship, a couple different US opens, right
because you know, come to Pinehurst do that. And I contemplated,

(06:00):
and I did get to go to the Masters one year,
and I contemplated pulling a media credential. It's basically worthless
because what the Masters does, and the reason they call
it the People's Tournament is if you have a press
credential at most other PGA events, depending on the level
of credential, you could essentially you can go through the ropes.

(06:22):
You can you know, you could be down there. If
you're photogging, you can be basically on the edge of
the green. It's it's pretty crazy. And then they have
big media facilities. At the Masters, they have a media facility,
but once you're away from that, you're treated just like
anybody else. And that doesn't matter if you're with with
the only exception being inside the rope access for their

(06:44):
TV broadcast, which is basically necessary. But if you're say
a photographer for the News and Observer or whatever, you
gotta take your shots from the crowd there. Man, you
gotta make sure you get in position, find a spot.
So I never I never pulled one of those. But anyway,

(07:04):
and they have very stringent rules and they are not
just for the people that are there, but even the
members of the media, former golfers that have played in
the event, golfers that are playing in the event now.
Mark Kalkoveci is a former major winner. He didn't win
a Master. If you win a Master's you can play
all the Masters until you dropped dead. You o exempt.

(07:28):
I think since he won the British he got a
five year exempt. But he played like fifteen seventeen of
these things, so he's not playing this Week. However, he
was over at the media center. I'm not sure exactly
what he's doing because there's been another incident I'll tell
you about. And he stepped across the he was using
his cell phone, and at that point two members of

(07:52):
security come up and they exit you from the bad
that you're you thrown out. So they threw Kovecia, a
you know, a pro golf for a major winner, off
the court. He's out. When reached for comment, he didn't
deny he'd been kicked out for breaking the rule, but said,
I have nothing negative to say about August or the Masters.

(08:14):
I'm hanging up now. That was a Golf Week reporter
Adam Shupack, who reported that, So, like I'm telling you, man,
it's a different thing down there. Charlie Rymer, You guys
know Charlie Rymer is so. He was a former tour player,
a golf channel broadcaster. He was also famously thrown out

(08:34):
for using his phone, and uh, it just so happened.
A bunch of people were around when when he realized
what he'd done, he started crying. He was doing radio
for Westwood One. I think when that happened threw him
right out of there. So they do not screw around
man And again that's these are some of the best
in the business in athletes, and and they don't care

(08:59):
because those are the rules that they abide by. And
you know in today's society where it's you know, oh
we gotta have a break, it's just he's just temperamental,
just manny being manny. You know. No, they don't play
that game down there. They play the game of golf
on an amazing course. And I'm probably probably get pre

(09:20):
diabetic by the end of the next four days from
just listlessness. So that's to say, I'm super excited. Okay,
we'll get we'll get big picks from people like Stevin Kent.
He'll be joining us at eight oh five. I'm sure
he's actively watching. And of course we got to talk
about the update on the arena Zaritzko's alleged killer because

(09:45):
it's it would the update yesterday irritate a lot of people.
But I need you to know it's not over yet.
There are some details that we need to fill in
Phone number eight eight eight nine three four seven eight
seven four. You want to be on the show, Oh
that is how you make it happen. Hold on what's
this email from Boston? Paul? Does this say? Ummmm, dang it?

(10:10):
I scrolled past it. Oh where did they? Okay? Hold on?
So yeah, the part three contest was yesterday. I don't
know why they had Kelsey there. Do we have to
have Kelsey at everything now? Or one of the Kelsey's
I guess we do. Where do they find all those
well fed ropeline people in security guards? Do you see
the bellies?

Speaker 3 (10:28):
Bro?

Speaker 1 (10:29):
It's like it's it's right on the South Carolina Georgia border, man,
and it's rule other than the city of Augusta. There's
nothing there. Do you think there's not some good old
boys run around big bellies? You have apparently never been
down that way, so I guess would be my response anyway,
six seventeen, hang on next twenty three here on the

(10:51):
CaCO Day radio program. I oh, well, Also, in addition,
any of the stories we're doing this morning, if you
just want to call them talk masters, that's so okay.
I'm down for that. Eight eight eight nine three four
seven eight seventy four the phone number he wants to
get on the show, that's how you do that, all right?

(11:11):
So yeah, we're definitely going to talk to about this
former military she served in some support capacity, I guess
for the Special Operations down at Bragg, who is now
charged with leaking classified information as part of a story

(11:33):
and then eventually a book a reporter was working on
basically trying to out the Boys Club or whatever the
positioning was right they wanted to go through and like,
all right, is everyone get sexually harassed? What other shenanigans
are going on? This is why and I have said
this on many occasions, you talk to reporters, you get

(11:56):
what you get. Now, I'm not justifying what she did.
I want to be abundantly clear. Uh, this is a
This is a wonderful example of just how they'll do
you if if they think that it will advance their career,
get a little more money in their pocket, or avenge
some sort of primal partisan need. And she's she she

(12:17):
looks like she's gonna feel that reporter. Nothing will happen
to the reporter other than uh, you know, other reporters
will write stories about how Bravy is. Probably and I
would also point out that's a very interesting target for
a reporter for a series of articles and eventually a
book where you're you're trying to get special operations dudes

(12:43):
in trouble. Good luck with that, I you know, So
that's the way they'll do the stunning and brave. Yeah,
you didn't care in the face of people who are
trained to murder people really, really, really effectively. So but
we got to start here. So, the alleged killer of

(13:06):
Arena Zarutska, de Carlos Brown, Junior, has been deemed incapable
to proceed as part of the state trial. Yeah, that's right.
Court documents show an evaluation dated December twenty ninth found
Brown quote incapable to proceed. His attorney, Daniel Roberts, asked

(13:30):
to judge on Tuesday to delay the competency hearing for
one hundred and eighty days. The case is scheduled for
April thirtieth. So this is not this is like the
first level of his Looney Tunes. This is the part
where he can't help in his own defense, according to
his lawyer, then there would be the competency hearing and
then you know, I guess theoretically, if it did eventually

(13:52):
go to trial state level, it seems likely that they
would plead that he was mentally ill at the time, which, yeah,
as you know, then means all right, so you don't
necessarily go to prison, but you go to a facility
and if you have a miraculous turnaround or you meet
certain requirements, you give me back out on the street
pretty quick. What's interesting, though, is, you know the arguments

(14:16):
that they're making as part of what you know his
lawyer strategy here is it shows a pattern of things
because remember, he thought someone, according to reports, he thought
somebody had implanted something under his skin, which you know,
that's an oldie, but a goodie when we talk about

(14:37):
people who may have mental illness. That being said, I'm
not a psychiatrist, psychologist, whatever, I don't know if it
rises to that level. But if we thought this guy
was so crazy and we had all these run ins,
it doesn't negate the criticism over the soft handling of
this guy, right the multiple arrests, Oh you just need

(14:57):
another chance, you know. Even he's in front of the magistrate,
he's talking about that stuff, and the magistrate doesn't think
that he's insane enough to not put back out on
the street. And that's how we got here. So there's that.
But also there's another thing, and that is this is
a twofer so not only is the Carlos Brown Junior

(15:20):
facing state murder charges, he's facing federal charges as well.
Actually surprised he's okay. So Ray Stevens, all of the
streak fell down and broke his neck, but don't worry.
He said, he's recovering at home and he has a
new album that literally drops tomorrow. By the way, he's

(15:44):
eighty seven. I lose outside of Nashville. Let's see here. Yeah,
what you say, break your neck. It's quite a spectrum
on that. So apparently he's on the more positive end
as he is already back at home. They have braced
his neck significantly, and he said he's recovering a new

(16:06):
album which is actually it's part new and part old.
It's called Favorites Old and New. Have some new music
on there. If you're still into the Race Stevens, I
love me some raceed Evens. Back in the day, man,
how could you not like ra sed Evens? Although now
if you streak, you'll end up on a list and
you gotta, you know, tell the government when you move. So, uh,

(16:27):
you know the times they had they change a little
bit that was it was always more of a country thing.
H Ross you guys raced evens up in New York,
even though he's kind of a country a niche country artist. Okay,
all right, I'm glad to see. So yeah, we we
had My grandmother really like Ray Stevens, really like Ray Stevens.

(16:50):
She had the records back in the day. So and
by the way, he's had a rough year. He had
just suffered a mild heart attack July of last year,
had urgery, and then he falls down and breaks his neck.
So all right, look over Ray Stevens. We can't lose
to Ree Stevens, especially especially he's got new music coming
out tomorrow. Well that's an interesting time, isn't it. Back

(17:17):
of the news. I'm not alleging anything. I'm just pointing
out that now he's got all this press where you
can talk about, hey, I broke my neck, but new
music tomorrow. Check it out. Wait, do we not drop
music on Tuesdays anymore? Is that not a thing? Because
that was always the thing? Right Tuesdays was when new
music came out. I don't even know why it was,

(17:40):
but it was. If an album was coming out, it
would come out on a Tuesday. If new music when
you were debuting new music, it could come out on
a Tuesday, or sometimes you get it early on the
radio side, so you can get everyone ginned up for Tuesday.
But I never understood why it was Tuesday, and then
I guess now why it's not. Probably just because you

(18:00):
just put your stuff on the internet and you get
mass distribution, which is really hammered the labels there. A
lot of people are just choosing to go independent. Then
they keep then they get full one hundred percent both
revenue streams. Right, so you get your publisher's rights, you
get your masters and the master rights are where they

(18:20):
really get you. On the the company contracts, like really
gets you. I think it's pretty standard for artists once
they go into into a contract with one of the
big labels where that number, which by the way, is
far in excess of revenue versus publishing rights. It's like
ten to one, it's not even close, but you'll end

(18:43):
up with like and they for an established artists, you
might end up with seven eight percent on that stuff,
but a new artist they'll get you down to like
three or four. Oh yeah, man, that's how they get you.
So any who good you know, glad to see is
doing okay and we'll see where it goes from there.
All right, let's go ahead and get into this. A

(19:07):
US Army Special Operations Command veteran is facing federal charges
for communicating and transmitting national classified defense information. Courtney Williams
charge Wednesday due to allegations she provided classified info to
a journalist She had signed obviously an NDA as you
do when she was hired in twenty ten, left the

(19:28):
job in twenty fifteen. The criminal complaint details communication between
Williams and Seth Harp, who didn't just write an article
or actually was a few articles. He had to write
a whole book on this stuff. Williams was a source.
She and Harp exchange approximately one hundred and eighty text messages,

(19:50):
ten hours of phone conversations over about a three year
period and up to an including she was like mail
and thumb drives to Seth and then he mail and
back and honor computer. According to the documents here, they
found file names Batch one for report basically Batch number
for reporter one through ten, but in the documents as

(20:14):
part of the investigation, the company said. The complaint says
it determined that it contained information properly classified as secret
in part specific tactics, techniques and procedures utilized by the
soldiers to execute sensitive missions. Now, Harp declined an interview
because of course he already got his He got that,

(20:36):
and he got the articles. He got a book, and
it was in the book where she was actually outed.
And you could tell from some of her communications while
this is going on, she sees it coming. Courty Williams
a brave whistleblower and truth teller. This is Harp did
do a statement. He says, Courtney Williams is a brave
whistleblower and truth teller. Former Delta Force op disclose national

(21:01):
defense information on podcasts and YouTube shows every day. But
the government is going after Courtney for the reason she
exposed sexual harassment and gender discrimination within the unit. It
is a vindictive act of retaliation, plain and simple. My
question would be, why'd you put her name in there.
It doesn't sound like she agreed to let you use
her name. I'm confused. Maybe I'm wrong on that, but

(21:26):
it kind of sounded like she was working behind and again,
it does not negate the fact that if she was
providing to some slug reporter stuff that she knew and
she looked she was a long time. She worked there
a long time, and she was you know, she herself
is a veteran, so it's not like she doesn't understand
how things work there. But if she's providing that information

(21:51):
and it gets found out, this is the inevitability. It
doesn't matter if you want to point to other people
and say they did it too, because you just can't
have this. You can't have this. And clearly Harp pad,
he had a premise and this is what he wanted
to do. I just, you know, I want to expose
these people. And he and it was right in that
sweet spot where any you know, sexual harassment, gender discrimination,

(22:15):
believe all women, right at the height of that. So
he saw an opportunity. The book, which is called the
Fort Bragg Cartel, Drug Trafficking and Murder in the Special Forces,
detailing sexual harassment, discrimination experiences such as the one Williams
had during her eight years with Delta Force. Harp's book

(22:37):
issued alongside an article with an excerpt from the book.
In a political article, Harp quotes Williams and other military
members throughout the article, where she recalls higher ups massaging
her shoulders, making lude comments about her body, and being
propositioned for sex. Now here's the deal. I never served
in the military, but it is a collection most of

(22:59):
it of you know people, horned up dudes. I'm not
justifying it, but when I hear now, the physical stuff's
one thing, but when I hear the lude comments thing,
I'm always on the fence there because I do know
how military people talk to each other, right, just having
quite a few members of the military in my family

(23:20):
and just having experienced, you know, situations doing this job
where I've got to, you know, hang out with these
types of folks or go to events and whatnot, and
it can get get pretty lude pretty quick. You walk
into that bar on the north end of door toops
all over there where you got a bunch of Marines
in there, where you've got the volleyball courts and stuff.

(23:42):
It's it's not a PG environment, especially when the booze
is flowing. So again, I don't know, I don't know
any of that that being said in the complaint. Williams
then texted Harp about concerns with the article. She said,
other than the few factual air I would definitely have
been concerned with the amount of classified information being disclosed.

(24:04):
See that's going to be really damning there, because that
would indicate to me that she knew again not a
lawyer right ross check right before the show. Still no
law degree hasn't come through yet. I thought the things
I was telling you so were so you could have
a better general understanding of how basically everything worked. Everything

(24:30):
was set up and operated. But I did not know
what would be published. And it feels like an entire
TTP was sent out in my name, giving them a
chance to legally persecute me. That's going back to the
tactics and stuff. Legally persecute me and probably and then
it's a redacted name. The complaint also indicates Williams showed
concern to her mother, saying I might get arrested. I

(24:51):
don't even get a free copy of the book. Swim
with the opportunistic reporters at your own errol. I've set
it for a long time on this show, Williams said
to her mother, I have known my entire career. They
tell you every day, one hundred times a day as
it as it goes to disclosing classified information. Harper's article

(25:15):
also indicated an overall culture of misogyny, racism, and unprofessional atmosphere.
It was like they were trying to herd cattle, Williams
is quoted, or take care of a bunch of children. Oh,
hurting You know, hurting cattle is not as hard once
you know what you're doing in the right setting. Hurting cats,
that's the term I'm most familiar with. Let's see, Williams said,

(25:41):
I didn't feel like the overall story that all of
these women, to include myself, were accomplished and intelligent. Ah,
so there's an ego thing here, not just a set
of breasts. We were a brilliant group of women trying
to do what is right for the country. After Williams
was relieved of her position, she filed an EEOC complaint

(26:02):
for discrimination, and it actually was given a settlement that
was described as sufficient enough to buy a small home
in North Carolina. I'm assuming around in the brag area.
I don't know where. So yeah, yeah, it's it's pretty
damning in the complaint, just because there's a lot of
acknowledgment in the communications and texts, both between her and

(26:24):
the reporter and her mother, if those are in fact accurate,
where it goes from here because she referenced somebody else,
maybe there's more indictments, but as far as the reporter goes,
nothing going to happen. He got his I don't know
how much he made off the book, how much it
propelled his career, but he was willing to throw her
under the bus pretty quick to make it happen. So

(26:45):
let it be a lesson to you. That's what you get,
all right, six forty six back in just a few
super excited. In fact, even with all the topics we're doing,
you want to call in and talk about the masters, Uh,
we can do that eight eight eight nine three four
seven eight seven four. I gave you a little rundown
there at the beginning of the show. So if you
missed the beginning you want of your little Master's Lord

(27:07):
and some stuff, make sure to listen to the first
part of the podcast today. Some good stuff in there.
All right, let me uh get over to some audio
for you this morning. Let's see here. I he doesn't
get the credit. I think a lot of the uh
insufferable news hosts do. And that's Lawrence O'Donnell. I mean,

(27:31):
because he says equally as crazy things. I think his
ratings are just so awful that uh no one, Oh,
I just reminded us that Ross. Can you see if
we have the Lawrence O'donnald hammer audio? I forgot about that.
That's one of my favorites. Just search Hammer O'donnald Lawrence
to see if we have anything up there. So anyway,

(27:54):
Lawrence O'Donnell, don't sleep on this dude. He can insufferable
douche like with with the best of them. I'm talking
to Stelters, the Acostas, the data bashes of the world.
Oh good, we do have it. Oh, I forgot about this. Well,
let me let me go back to this. This guy,

(28:14):
just to understand who you're dealing with. This is a
guy who is on air thinking that management has constructed
some sort of torture device in the form of construction
noise while he's trying to do his you know, very

(28:34):
important news thing and just starts flipping out over it.
Stop the hammering.

Speaker 4 (28:40):
Stop the hammering out there.

Speaker 5 (28:42):
Who's got a hammer?

Speaker 1 (28:43):
Where is it?

Speaker 6 (28:44):
Where's the hammer?

Speaker 1 (28:46):
Yeah, we mix the hammering on this before.

Speaker 4 (28:48):
Somebody go up there and stop the hammering.

Speaker 1 (28:50):
The pollard, stop the hammering, all right. So, and here's
the deal. It's kind of relatable because, like you know,
There's been a lot of renovation at the Raleigh Studio
over the years, and there have been times when straight
up you can almost hear it on the air. You
can definitely hear it in the studio or when they're working.

(29:13):
We have this strange thing when they're working in what's
called the rack room, which is basically, you know, it's
we're all all the stuff, you know, the the blade
servers and everything that you need for and there's so
much of it. But if somebody's working in that room,
the way the Duck system works is you can hear
their conversation in Ross's studio, in my studio. So even

(29:37):
though you have because it's kind of kind of cheats
through the soundproofing there, and you just got to learn
to go with it. We all, you know, we've talked
about it on the show where they were running what
were they doing. It sounded like they were using like
a heavy compressed nail gun, like right above your studio
when they were doing the renos up there, Like you
could hear a thumpin' man in Ross's studio. It was

(29:58):
really bad. You just make light of it. Now this
guy starts losing his crap, so I'm sure he's well
liked amongst the employees there. So anyway, he got a
little butt hurt, and he got a little butt hurt
over the hegseeth press or yesterday or the day before.

(30:19):
And it's for the pettiest reason possible. All right, here
we go. Here's Laurence O'Donnell. He's got his own angle.
He's not happy, and he wants to tell you all
about it.

Speaker 4 (30:30):
That brilliant rescue was described by the Secretary of Defense
and by General Dan Kine, the Chairman of the Joint
Chiefs of Staff, as a long standing American military rule
of never leaving anyone behind.

Speaker 1 (30:47):
We leave young man behind.

Speaker 4 (30:50):
That is, of course, the old school version of the idea,
back when only men flew American military plans. General Dan
kin the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, put
it this way.

Speaker 2 (31:06):
We leave no one behind.

Speaker 4 (31:09):
The General knows, unlike Pete Hagg seth that that could
have been a woman they were trying to rescue, and
it might be a woman the next time.

Speaker 1 (31:19):
Okay, all right, yeah, yeah, he did the thing. And then,
by the way, if you go on Twitter, there's people
that put together Pete Hagg Seth and Cain, General Cain
both saying both of them right, It just depends on
how you're delivering it. And you have to be Laurence
O'Donnell levels of stupid to not realize that man is

(31:42):
the man of mankind there, Okay, right, he's not doing it.
I mean, in O'donnald's mind, he is because he's paranoid that,
you know, some sort of hammer demons following him around.
That's what it means. No man left behind means no
soldier left behind, hell, no civilian contractor probably male or female.
In that situation. It speaks to a commitment to those

(32:06):
who would serve or serve alongside individuals who are protecting
this nation. That's all it means. And you have to be,
like I said, Laurence o'donna lovel of stupid or you know,
just tds out of your gourd to sit here and
decide that that's the most important takeaway from what is

(32:27):
a absolute movie ready win for America. Six uses out
of this music, so I don't want to waste them.
As things get underway in AUGUSTA. In fact, let's check
on some tea time, shall we, And by the way,
open phones on any Master stuff because telling you two

(32:50):
days a year to do this. All right, here we go,
here we go, whether we secon it's gonna be great.
Love that all right? So, uh seven forty will be
our first tea time. We are just over a half
hour away. Oh good, good, good good, Right well on,

(33:14):
let me dip that out. First thing is a battle
for US versus Chinese superiority. As US golfer John Keefer
tea's off with Hattong Lee from China. Let's see where
some of the bigger names. That'll just be ed. So
that'll be the twosome, right, because that's the way the

(33:35):
math works. Uh well, Holmas. In the second group, he's
playing some good golf. Do do do do? It's be interesting.
There's a there's an amateur to this, Jackson Harrington's who's
interesting because he was a tour golfer. But now he's
an amateur again. I'm not sure how that works. So

(33:56):
he's gonna have to explain that to me. Movie Jay
Singh is playing. I didn't think he was playing. Yeah,
they got the Bubba Watson. He's in group eight. He'll
tee you nine O two. He's former Masters winner. I
remember that year, because what a perfect name for a
dude to win the Augusta, Georgia Tournament, but a bubba.

(34:21):
Where are the odds on favorites? Does Patrick reed? He's
former winner? Everyone hates him for some reason. Ah, here
we go, dude. This is the feature group right here,
one of them. So at ten oh seven you have
Des Chambeau, who I think is Boston Paul's horse. I
think he sticking with him, Xander Shoftley and Matt Fitzpatrick.

(34:45):
All of those guys. If you look at the odds,
all three of them are in the top ten from
an odds perspective. So that's gonna be a great group
to watch there. McElroy's paired with Cameron Young and Mason Howells,
an amateur last year's win. This is really important information.
I know. I know, I've said they were the only twosome. No,
there actually is two twosomes. Somebody withdraw or is that normal?

(35:09):
It doesn't matter. Where is the man everyone thinks is
gonna win this thing. I should have reviewed these before,
but I was looking at some other stuff this morning
before the show. So that's on me. So we do
it live. We do it live. As Bill O'Reilly would say,
don't worry, I don't go anywhere because I got Florida

(35:30):
Man for you in just a minute. Speak's at one
twenty Thomas, Justin Thomas at one thirty two. Here we go,
Scotty Scheffler. All right, so he's gonna be He doesn't
t off til one forty four. Now there's something to
be said for morning versus afternoon tea times. It's not
probably gonna be as bad because you know, not a

(35:52):
lot of moister issues, not a huge heat differential, but
it could be a win differential. Oh, we will see.
And that is the second to last group. The last
group goes at one fifty six with Harris English, Sue
and Kim and Marco Penji. Where's the Dutch dude too?

(36:12):
I think a lot of peace. He Dutch or Netherlands
or Swedish or whatever. Here it is Ludwig. He's Swedish,
Ludwig Auberg. He's playing with John Rahm. That's another good group.
That'll be one o eight. So as you can imagine,
we're very excited here. And by the way, the more
people send me email going they don't care, the more
I'm gonna talk about this because that's how we roll. Okay,

(36:33):
all right, wonderful, let's do this. Florida men. Florida men.

Speaker 2 (36:42):
Is something in the wanderty arrow or sand that makes
you do all that crazy craft. That's like the state
is one big dumb ass trapped. Nowhere else has the
Florida Man. It is almost like as the weird factor
climbs and you find out and then in Florida every time, Florida,

(37:03):
then Florida. Then if anyone can jeer me, if you
know you can't, just mind life, get crazy. But of course,
but it's not as bad crazy as yours. Nowhere else
are you gonna find him. They're so used to it,
they don't mind.

Speaker 1 (37:17):
Tim Hooray for Florida Man. And we're going all the
way south to a beautiful Key Largo, Florida. Here's the headline.
Man arrested for reckless driving in Key Largo. Then going
on new dancing spree. As you do right, you'll get
yourself a little reckless drive in charge, get yourself a
little accident, and then what the hell, Now it's time

(37:40):
for naked dance. Fifty five year old man. Now he's
not from Florida, but he was in Florida. So I
feel like he's an honorary Florida man. He's actually from Montgomery,
New York. I don't know where in New York that is,
but that's where he's from. Police say they received multiple
calls recording a reckless driver on us, so you know

(38:00):
the main road there. Chriff's office then dispatched on to
find him the reckless driver. The driver, by the way,
later identified as Timothy Mahoney. I was leaving in and
out of traffic, and eventually he got to a constrainter
doing some construction, and he smoked some road cones. Then
I guess he hit one of those barrels, which, depending

(38:24):
on how loaded up they are, do not give very well.
But yeah, so now he's eventually slammed through a Oh
did I mention this is all happening at seven fifty
seven in the morning. Yeah, this wasn't some late night thing.
This is seven fifty seven in the morning. It sounds

(38:45):
like it was an all night thing. With what you're
about to hear. So he hits the stuff. He then
got out of his truck. Now I don't know if
he's working on the construction or what. It doesn't say, because,
according to the report, the only thing he was wearing
was a construction hard hat. Other than that, just naked

(39:08):
as the day he was born, and when they arrived,
he had cranked the stereo in his truck and was
then gyrating and dancing for all the world to see.
Mahoney was also the moment the sheriffs that he got there.
They said that he had a marijuana pipe and was
smoking from it while he continued dancing. He was taken

(39:30):
to jail. By the way, Unlike a lot of articles
where the reporters have completely fallen down on the job,
we actually know what he was dancing to. So ross
if you were to nakedly dance down in Key West
after what looks to be an all night benjer while
wearing your construction hat, what do you think the appropriate
music to dance to in that situation might be? If

(39:53):
he had to choose one is all I'm asking, Do
you go country? Do you go modern? Pot go? Baha? Men?
Who left it? That's a good one, but that Nope, Nope,
it's in fact nope not Baja man. Get this one. Yeah,
retro gospel disco, Bob, what is that think? Caribbean think? Islands.

Speaker 7 (40:15):
Think, uh wait, West Coast Gangster rat Bob fifty year
old men on island mine. Now the East Coast gangster
rat Bob died not that long ago St.

Speaker 1 (40:27):
Louis. But let me give you a hint. He likes
cheeseburgers in Paradise, Jimmy Buffett. That's the If you're going
to do some crime involving music and you're in you know,
the Florida Keys, that's arguably the most appropriate music to
dance to. Now. I don't know if he was dancing

(40:47):
to a Pirate Looks Back after forty or whatever that
song is, or Southern Cross, that'd be a good one
to gyrate nakedly too in your construction hat, I'll smoking
marijuana come Monday. Wait, hold on what day did this?
Did it happened Monday? That'd be dead giveaway. Yes, yes
it did. That would be the appropriate go to there.

(41:12):
So yeah, finally, somebody does the real proper investigative digging
in these stories, because too often we're just cheated out
of what they were arguing over what the song was,
and it's very important to the story as it is here,
So thank you Florida man. But there's two Florida. There's
actually three Florida man, so let me just package deal

(41:35):
these again. They're not they don't live in Florida. They
one lives in Chattanooga. The other is also from New York.
He's from New York City. However, these two, Anthony Bull
and March Chadwick, we're doing some tourism in Florida, and
they were driving from south to Tampa over to Melbourne

(41:59):
and a lot of calls started coming in. Apparently these
guys found a big, old dead alligator. It doesn't imply
that they killed it, they're not charged with that, but
they found it and they decided, you know what, that's
ours now, and so they took the alligator, got it
up on the top of the suv they're driving, strapped
it onto the luggage rack, and then proceeded to start driving.

(42:24):
So the plan, I guess was to taxi dermy. Yet,
now the problem is in Florida, that's a crime. Doesn't
matter whether you killed it or not. You you can't
just because it's Florida, and you gotta have zero tolerance
because you know, like we how many stories have we
done where an alligator was involved in the commission of
a crime. Remember the guy who threw one through the
window at Hearty's or whatever it was, or the guy

(42:45):
who took one in the liquor store. They constantly come up.
So you just you can't trust the Florida men to
you know, so you have to go one hundred straight. Now,
you don't get to mess with the alligators. So they
said that actually, as they were driving on multiple occasions
when they either stopped for gas or people would pull
alongside them yelling at them, it's illegal to transport an

(43:07):
alligator possess an alligator. So apparently they pulled over about
halfway through and bought a sheet and wrapped and covered
thet The problem is you can still tell it's a
gator because they wrapped it so tight. It's clearly a
gator in there. And then eventually they found them. Let's

(43:28):
see here, and there's a whole incident, and I got
them out in handcuffs and the whole thing, because I
guess the guys are being pains. So they pulled them
over in Melbourne, and the men admitted they had been
warned about possessing the alligator, but they said that it
was once in a lifetime opportunity. Yeah, I mean, that's
a conversation piece. If I come over to your house,

(43:50):
you gotta how long was this thing? Eleven feet?

Speaker 4 (43:55):
Use?

Speaker 1 (43:56):
How'd you get on top of the car? You just
do two? Well? Whatever? Yeah, man, that's a comedy. You
got that thing taxidermy like, it's the thing that took
Captain Hook's hand. That's an amazing thing for your man cave.
Problem is you can have to figure out how to
acquire one differently. You know, you can hunt gators in
other states if you really want to have one, like

(44:18):
they have a whole season and everything I said, does
Florida have a season? I don't even know. But for
whatever reason, you just can't grab one off the side
of the road or eggs. So a little reminder should
you be headed to Florida and get some thoughts? All right?
Seven eighteen hang on? So for you you people love
the true crime there's it was a big day for
you yesterday. So they had the the do we ever

(44:42):
determine how to say it? Is it Jigalow Beach or
Giglow Beach or killer up there in New York? The
guy was offing prostitutes there. Gilgo is Gilgo Gilgo beach. Yeah.
Can I call it Jigglo beach? You can? Yeah, okay,
all right, Jiglo beach. Anyway, so they had that describing
in detail. I saw just a couple of minutes of this,

(45:02):
and let's just say he he understood the describe in
detail part of this. In fact, that even admitted to
one extra murder. So I guess that brings the number
up to eight. So uh yeah, I know that whole
story's nuts.

Speaker 8 (45:16):
People were shocked that he pleaded guilty because they were
going to bring it to trial, but I guess, like
the DNA stuff, and then the other thing they're speculating
is he because there's no death penalty up there, right,
So I mean, he's gonna get life in prison, and
he'd rather do that and just go knowing they have
the DNA evidence and and spare his family to hear
the details.

Speaker 1 (45:34):
Wait, wait, hold on, do you think his wife now.

Speaker 8 (45:36):
Believes he Well, that's what I'm gonna say, because his
wife for the longest time has been like, no, he's
completely innocent.

Speaker 1 (45:40):
You got the wrong guy, right.

Speaker 8 (45:42):
And he's like, well, yeah, I'm gonna I'm gonna not,
you know, do the trial and then she's not gonna
hear all this stuff come out publicly or whatever it is,
and then I can keep denying it to her, so
she continues to be with me.

Speaker 1 (45:52):
Yeah. Yeah, it's there's a whole documentary thing or a
series on what was it on Netflix or whatever you
and the wife watched. Oh yeah, there's a ton of
stuff out now, yeah yeah, yeah, well you described it
in detail. Yeah, but the crazy part was they had
the wife there and they're just like, you know, here's
all the evidence. She's like, it's not my husband. So

(46:13):
maybe I don't know, maybe she believes now. I also
read that he's going to be consulting. Did you see this?
I don't not can consulting into your TV show fashion,
but like he's gonna he's gonna help him get a
deeper understanding of what makes guys like him TIXO. He's
gonna do like the Hannibal electer sort of thing. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah,
So I don't know. I mean, I guess there's value there.

(46:36):
It kind of sounds like a reward too, just because
you're the guy helping him. But you murdered eight people
horribly by the way, you know, horribly murdered eight people,
so that all got and then there's this one brewing
down in the Bahamas or wherever. This guy and his
wife they have like they have a ascribed as a

(46:56):
yata know how exactly how big it is, looks like
it's a live board. Maybe for her. They got a
little dinghy and they you know, you use that when
you anchor out to go ahead and pop over if
you don't want to have to pay for a slip
or maybe your boat can't get into a certain place.
And uh so they're riding, they're riding on the dinghy

(47:18):
and she reportedly fell off the dinghy and they were,
you know, they're looking all over what happened? What happened
to this woman? Where did she go? They had search
and rescue out there. They're doing everything. They can't find her,
and a lot of people started speculating, and apparently there
was some there's some background there, a little a little
bit of background with the with the family because he

(47:39):
was the stepfather to a woman who posted it's like
she kind of thought he did it. In fact, she
posted a voice message that her stepfather left her, and
a lot of people were like, and I don't know
what a person's supposed to sound like after their beloved

(48:00):
spouse fell off the dinghy and nobody can find the
body just days later. But some people thought that maybe
this guy was just a little how do you say
too calm? Here's the voicemail that guy. Oh wait, hold on,
hold on clock. Here I found the plotation device that

(48:22):
I threw to mom when she fell overboard. And uh
so there that they haven't found her yet.

Speaker 5 (48:29):
But there's today can now focus all of their efforts
in a.

Speaker 1 (48:33):
Smaller area, and they're still out there searching today. So
I just wanted to update you Latino woman's name who
reportedly fell off the dinghy as her and her husband
were traversing somewhere in the Bahamas. Let's see. Let's see
in Aboco Marsh Harbor's that's the main island. I don't

(48:53):
know if that's where they were, though, it really doesn't matter,
and it's not uncommon, okay, elbow k, but don't why
the pig though, that's not it's not quite to the
pigs there, but it is pretty common, just because there's
a lot of shallow water there in the Bahamas. You
get a decent sized boat, you putts around there, you
get your little dingy out, you want to go to shore,

(49:13):
swim with the pigs, do all that stuff. But according
to her husband, she fell off the eight foot dinghy
en route to their yacht in Lbok, and now he's
under arrest. The husband of Lynette Hooker has been arrested
in connection with the Michigan mom's disappearance after her concerned
daughter raised the alarm. We played the voicemail for you there.

(49:36):
Terrell Butler, Brian's attorney, confirmed the arrest and said he
categorically and unequivocally denies any wrongdoing been cooperating with authorities
as part of the investigation, and the US Coast Guard
did confirm a criminal investigation that the disappearance has been opened. Well,
what jurisdiction would the US Coastguard have because they're in

(49:56):
the Bahamas. I mean, probably rather be arrested in the
US versus the Bahamas. I don't know. The search for
Lynette is now a recovery mission and her daughter wants answers.
I was seeing some other stuff where there was some
incidents prior incidents that the daughter was also talking about

(50:18):
with like the guy's temper. But I don't know. Maybe
she fell off the dinghy. I don't know if they
excuse me him and sneeze, all right, I don't know. Yeah,
here we go. This is this is I want to
read the quotes. Here's the daughter. Name is carly Eilesworth.
She said she believes something happened involving her mom and stepfather.

(50:40):
There is a history of him choking her out and
threatening to throw her overboard. Yeah, you don't want to
go on the record and then have it happen. Even
if you didn't do it, it's still gonna be problematic for you.
So the fact that this is happening makes me believe
there's more to the story. Alesworth also revealed that her
step dad didn't tell her that mom was missing until

(51:03):
twenty four hours after she vanished. That's a little yeah,
this thing, there's there's somebody who at Netflix just salivating
to get a doc little miniseries ready to go on this,
trying to fire out what time of day it was.
All right, here we go. During the couple's excursion from
Hopetown to Elbow, k Lynette reportedly tumbled overboard with the

(51:26):
boat's keys, causing the Then. Yeah, so it's got one
of the most you'll know this but it's got one
of those disconnects, kind of like a jet ski has
I guess on this dinghy so and I'm just looking
at this thing. It's I don't was that five feet
with a it looks like as a trolling motor attached
to it. So like two people and maybe a bag

(51:48):
of groceries, Max. But that's really all you need, you know,
as long as nobody's thrown anybody in the water, but
not contacting the daughter for twenty four hours and then
sending that voicemail if you are a few days a
couple of days later, because this is like four days
ago this happened. Yeah, a lot. That's going to be
super suss, as the kids say. And also the water's

(52:09):
not deep there, hey, you and you can see down right,
it's really clear. I'm looking at a picture of elbowk
right here. But they would have had to cover a
rather a piece of one of the channels there, so
I guess they'll be looking. I'm hard. He did post

(52:32):
something he wrote online. He said, I'm heartbroken over the
recent boat accident in unpredictable seas and high winds that
caused my beloved Lynette to fall from our Dinghy near
Elbow k despite its attempts to reach or the winds
and currents drove us further apart. We continue to search
for and that is my sole focus. They've been married

(52:54):
with twenty years and I have spent the last three
just doing the doing the Bahamas thing, doing the they
were doing the Grand Loop. They did too, so they
roll into the boating. Grand Loop is for is Duluth
to Saint Paul for those you don't know, because you

(53:15):
can you literally go from Saint Paul, Minnesota all the
way up to Duluth, which you know is just a
few hours drive, but you go all the way around
through Saint Lord Seaway and then eventually out into the
intercoastal down through you know, place like North Carolina around
and then eventually you get to the Mississippi River and
you go right up to the Mississippi and you can get

(53:35):
up the final locks there just north of Saint Paul
and boom there you are. So and a lot a
lot of people like to do that, especially it sounds
like on a craft this size, but they are they
are thinking he done it at the very least. So
we'll update you if we have anything there all right,
let me flip over to this guess who's out of prison,

(53:58):
Michael Avenatti. Which I'm actually confused by this because this
guy who CNN wanted to be president so bad they
could taste it like he had. I remember looking at
the numbers of this guy was given like a one
hundred and thirty ish. I can't remember the exact number
appearances on CNN with Cuomo Potato. He was always on

(54:22):
Potato Show. Potato loved him. Brian Stelter Brian's and he
would like googly eye him. In fact, you know what,
I bet we still have some of that audio of
the romance, the absolute romance that was going on between
Stelter and Avinatti. It was gross. And he was like,

(54:42):
hey man, you're gonna run for president. When you're run
for president, you should run for president. And you know,
they had Avinati on there just so he could crap
all over Trump and because he was remember he was
Stormy Daniel's attorney, and that's part of the charges that
ended up. Will you see will you search Avenati's name there?

(55:03):
Awesome trying to do it. My computer's not cooperating here,
or Stelters Noune's coming up? Well, let me just say
it was. It was like constant I remember, I remember
talking about it on the air. The irony, of course
being that part of the charges he caught was because
he stole allegedly three hundred thousand dollars a Stormy Daniel's

(55:24):
settlement money. I think he was eight hundred thousand. He
stole three hundred thousand of it. But the larger charge
because this guy was feeling he could do whatever he wanted,
is he attempted to extort Nike, just straight up extortion.
He wanted to get twenty million from him, and then
he messed with the irs, which is that's how you
get extra charges, and was blocking the attempt to take

(55:47):
payroll taxes. And so he got eleven years three months.
Dude just got out. He hasn't even served half of that.
He only served four years. So I'm I'm like, I've
heard of like good time or whatever they call it.
You know, if you're on your best behavior, you can
double time in some states. But I don't know for
the life of me, how you get a sentence to

(56:08):
eleven years three months and then you're out in not
even half that. Let's see here, Yeah, there's no explanation
in this article here. So I don't know, do they
try to make him president again or is he just
a pariah because you think people are pariah couldn't come back,

(56:29):
But boy boy, we've seen some stuff. So he was
released Tuesday after serving again about four years of the
eleven year sentence. Now, his final release date was supposed
to be September of twenty twenty eight. Now you must
undergo mental health treatment, steer clear of unlawful controlled substances. Yeah, yeah,

(56:54):
this guy. The ego on this dude is to the point.
And I don't know, maybe prison changed him, but his ego,
that was the thing that stuck out to me. I
don't think he's gonna be quiet. Hell, he'll probably get
himself in trouble again. Anyway. We'll find out, all right,
seven forty three. Uh oh, I'm sorry, that's right, mister
Ray stage. It just takes random days off. So to

(57:15):
look back at his email here, but I don't know
who's filling in. Who do we got?

Speaker 5 (57:20):
Yeah, hey, Jeff, Mary, I think maybe Ray got a
badge to Augusta Nashville today or something.

Speaker 1 (57:24):
I don't know what. You know, he denied it, but
I didn't believe him, so good for him. Good for him. Man,
it's gonna looks like it's gonna be great. We've got
first tea time. They just heat off what five minutes ago,
so oh yeah, let's keep it nice and even too,
get the moisture out of there so everybody gets a
fair chance go for it.

Speaker 5 (57:42):
Yeah, what a beautiful stretch of weather we have coming
up a little bit on the cold side this morning.
We've got a frost advisory until nine am when temperatures
hovering close to the freezing mark right now, but eventually
we'll hit sixty seven this afternoon under a sunny sky. Tonight, clear,
a light wins as the low dips down to the
low forties. A warmer Friday Tomorrow expects sunshine to high
seventy and what a gorgeous weekend. We'll see sun on
both Saturday and Sunday and highs each day. We'll climb

(58:05):
to the low eighties into the low eighties with more
sun Monday, and then how about Tuesday Sunday up to
eighty eight degrees. So temperature is certainly on the upswing,
as we had from this weekend in at the startup
next week.

Speaker 1 (58:15):
All right, we'll chat the next hour. Jeff, do appreciate it,
You got it, and we come back. Or just a reminder.
Stephen Kent are Washington, D C slash probably a spy
slash NERD correspondent. He'll be joining us at eight o five.
We'll talk Moon mission stuff, the military weapons like this

(58:35):
what is it called ghost murmur we talked about yesterday,
and just some movie stuff. But we got to figure
out what's going on in Wilmington. Man. I don't know
if you guys have seen the video of this marine
who was fatally stabbed in downtown Wilmington. I have some
questions as is not a first responder, because there's a

(58:55):
lot of people being very critical of the way police
handle this, and when you watch the video, it does
raise questions. But perhaps it's a procedural I don't know,
but we'll get into that next here on the CaCO
Day radio program. Why are there so many heists in
the last twelve months? Ross, What do you think the
tried to heist? It's pretty Uh, it's it's it's something

(59:16):
you've seen in movies being tasted. Ah, that's a gold bob.

Speaker 3 (59:20):
Ah.

Speaker 1 (59:20):
No, there's some gold in it. Yeah, diamonds and gems
and rubies. Bob, there are gems in it, but no,
that's not it. Uh painting, Bob. You know there's painting
that happens as part of this, but that's not it.
A Faberge egg, which is a jewel encrusted gold and painted.

Speaker 8 (59:42):
That's the thing in the movie Risky Business right where
it breaks, and that's why he has to open the
brothel to payback.

Speaker 1 (59:48):
Right to you? Yeah yeah, so, uh do how much
is this thing work? Two mil? Two mil? Bob? Let's see,
sorry distracted, Oh this is weird. A thief who stole
a handbag containing a faberge a. He had to know

(01:00:08):
it was in there, right, had to know? Well, hold on,
hold on, maybe he didn't know. And now this is
the dumbest person who had their eggs stolen I've ever
heard of. Twenty nine year old Enzo cot Conticello, that's

(01:00:31):
a super Italian name, allegedly swiped a handbag belonging to
Rosie Dawson as she stood in the smoking area of
the Dog and Duck pub. So you have a two
million dollar Faberge egg.

Speaker 8 (01:00:48):
It's her emotional support Faberge egg. I guess like carrying
around like it's a chihuahua or something.

Speaker 1 (01:00:55):
Yeah, well she's got in an event she handbag that
you know, things super expensive anyway, I you know what,
you deserve to lose your egg for just being that stupid.
I'm almost sorry. This dude got caught the egg. Okay,
so hold on. So the according to the report, the
sixteen hundred dollars. I would have assumed it was more expensive.
I'm sorry, you will, you're you The bag you carry

(01:01:16):
your two million dollar Faberge egg around in is only
sixteen hundred when you can easily spend you know, twenty
thirty thousand dollars. I guess she was trying to be discreet.
I don't know. That's why you need a Walmart bag.
Ain't nobody stealing a Walmart bag. This is why I

(01:01:38):
tell women you don't need that expensive purse. I got
a under my sink. I got all the purses you
could ever need. And if it gets a little target
another one.

Speaker 8 (01:01:45):
Why you're walking around they're like, hey, what's in your
really expensive handbag?

Speaker 1 (01:01:48):
And you're like, oh this thing, oh, this this whole thing,
So what was in there? Let's see here? Oh dude,
she's in on it. It's not even her egg ross,
she has to be in on it. You know who

(01:02:10):
the egg so insiderr bag was the two million dollars
Faberge egg, a Faberge watch. I don't know what that's worth,
probably a bunch an Apple laptop, Apple AirPods, and then
you know standard bank cards, those kinds of things, because
they literally have it all listed out, So the egg
technically belongs to her employers. At the she works for

(01:02:33):
a craft Irish whiskey company doesn't say which one. Who.
If if let's say our program director Trevor had a
Faberge a egg, I would it would be insane for
him to be like, hey, buddy, can you just hang
on to this for me? Yeah?

Speaker 8 (01:02:48):
No, I'm not bringing that around to cheers or whatever,
the Duck and Dog pub, you know what I mean? Yeah,
this doesn't make sense. Remember you had that project you
had in high school where you had to like bring
the egg around and you had to watch the egg
yeah didn't crack and stuff, and how stressful that was.
Remember that You're like, oh man, I don't want my
eggs egg? Yeah, we threw them at each other.

Speaker 1 (01:03:11):
Oh wow, what what you know? Why because these idiots
decide they were going to do it during essentially that period,
that transition period, because we didn't like eighth grade. When
you're for an eighth grader, the freshmen come from the
high school and they throw water balloons at you. So
we threw our eggs at them. Yep, because I didn't

(01:03:32):
need the grade at that point. The way that wyoming
works is once you get a certain thing and don't
have to do the final test thing. So whatever. But yeah,
so then I had no stress. It's a ya way
we start.

Speaker 8 (01:03:43):
Let alone a two million dollar Faberge egg, Like, how
stress would you be?

Speaker 1 (01:03:47):
Dude? Apparently not. She set the bag down so she
could smoke a cigarette. She did the thing. Women go in, right,
they hang the little purse on the thing or at
the table or whatever, and then she steps outside to
smoke and the purse is sitting there. I could, I
would have that thing handcuffed to me. So now I'm like,
so this guy is just the luckiest thief ever, the

(01:04:10):
luckiest thief ever, right, he's because all he's hoping for
is a nice iPhone, maybe a small laptop, and some jewelry.
She's got in there, and this guy's got a two
million dollar Faberge egg. Also okay. Also, the way that
they were able to track this dude after is he

(01:04:32):
then was he then immediately went to a nearby ATM
and shop little shops area and started trying to, you know,
get the money out before she realizes and shuts the
cards off. Bro, you're staring at a two million dollar
egg and your greedy ass is going over and pulling
a thousand pounds out or whatever.

Speaker 8 (01:04:53):
Euro maybe had no idea what it was like, maybe
like this big stupid egg to wait thing, Dude, it's
clearly okay, it's clear, So you're not gonna open that
person and be like, look, it's like chocolate. It's a
chocolate egg. You're not gonna make it.

Speaker 1 (01:05:08):
No, no, because it's all blingy like rappers grill looking
thing on this I don't even know how to describe it.
If I'm gonna send you so you can set you
can put the link out, send that to your show
account here, but yeah, open the link when you get it,
or gonna be really pinched on time. Open open the
link when you get it. If you get it here
in the next moment, and then just scroll down like

(01:05:30):
even if you don't know it's Faberge. You're like, I
have something special. Baster's Thursday golf all already underway, very excited,
but it does not change the plan. Oh Ross, can
you do me a favorite? Can you forward Stephen the
thing I sent you with the moonface so you can
see that that's right because it is Thursday. Okay, all

(01:05:51):
right to the tea. Ket Russell Lee's on my text
immediately after I send them. But it's not just me,
it's everybody. This turns. Mister Stephen Ken joins us here
on the show for his handicapping of this year's Masters
days one through four, and everyone's gonna he thinks he's
gonna win. So Steven, tell us all about your love

(01:06:14):
of golf.

Speaker 3 (01:06:14):
Man, that's a that's a heck of an introduction golf
I have. Yeah, I have so much to say about it.
You know, there's a mall and it flies and sometimes
my shoulder and yeah, thank you for that.

Speaker 1 (01:06:28):
Well, you don't have to play because it's the Masters,
and let's let's face it, you and I are playing
in the Masters, so I just thought maybe you'd have
some pick'ems things like that. But we can move on
if you want. That's why, that's fine. I'll do it
myself after because we do have other stuff we need
to chit chat about today.

Speaker 3 (01:06:44):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (01:06:44):
By the way, every time I learn about some new weapon,
the CIA or the government has at their disposal on
equal parts kind of like impressed, but also a little
dystopic concern, right, because if they can discombobulate you, or
they can, as we found out with the Rescue mission,

(01:07:06):
they can use a machine on the Ghost Murmur, which
is a great name for a band to individually find
a person's heartbeat like a fingerprint. Sounds cool. I just
wouldn't want that used against me if the CIA ever
goes full dystopic. So, uh, what do you think of

(01:07:27):
all this stuff we're finding out? And clearly we're finding
out more because Trump, right, he likes to talk and
he let you know, he lamed the discombobulator, So.

Speaker 3 (01:07:37):
Yeah, he does like to brag. For him, amazing classified
technology is bragging rights, and so for Trump, you know,
he doesn't ever want to forego bragging rights. Yeah, Ghost
to Murmur, incredible, incredible tech. You know, it's it's there
are so many examples throughout history of technology being inspired

(01:07:58):
by movies. I am in as for which one might
have inspired Ghost Murmur, but you know, it just reminds
me of It reminds me of the Predator movies and
the Predator's ability, you know, not just to see in
thermo you know, and track Arnold Schwartzenegger in the jungle
with thermo vision, but to really feel and see every

(01:08:19):
pulsating thing in the jungle. Heartbeat was a big part
of that. If your heartbeat and predator guts gets too high,
the predator is able to find you. It's pretty think
and cool.

Speaker 1 (01:08:31):
Well and and also it's not the only Schwarzenegger movie.
Remember the movie E Racer. The whole premise at the
end of the movie is they have like these super
tech guns. They're like real guns or something, but they
can see that you can see through walls with it
and kill people, kind of like some of the video
games out there. But what was called the EM one Annihilator.

(01:08:53):
They used X ray skull. I mean, it was so
over the top, so it's not to be believed, but
like were they you know, they can use that, They
can use this stuff through walls. Also, I mean it's crazy,
so it's it's kind of just as good as that.
What did you think of rescue in this incessant need
of people in Europe to not understand why we'd leave

(01:09:15):
no man behind? That was a little.

Speaker 4 (01:09:17):
Well.

Speaker 3 (01:09:18):
The movies, and I'm sure this has been said already.
The movies are already most certainly in production. The only
question is whether or not they're going to be in
theaters or go straight to Paramount Plus made by Taylor Shared,
and they will almost certainly star. They will almost certainly
star Galgado and uh, you know Andy from Parks and
rec and John Krasinski and John Voight. I'm waiting for

(01:09:42):
that movie. It will be an America good time. But
it's going to be an incredible film. And what would
what would be? God is Good? That would be the
name of the film.

Speaker 1 (01:09:52):
You do that? Which? But which? By the way, that's
such an interesting component of it because they were they
were trying to figure out if that radio transmission was
just him expressing his faith or a subtle, subtle message
that it's a trap, right because God is good? And
then they went, well does he mean alaa akbar? And

(01:10:14):
then you tie that in, so, I mean, there's so
much intrigue here.

Speaker 3 (01:10:20):
Yeah, the only I mean, I'm just thinking about the movie,
and you know, it's not that this rescue mission went clean.
It was relatively cle and they had to blow up
a bunch of their vehicles. They got mired in the mud.
They were setting up a perimeter from the sky around
this guy as he was, you know, sheltered up in
the mountains. I don't believe, at least they haven't said

(01:10:40):
that he engaged in the armed conflict one on one
with any Iranian troops on the ground. So it will
be a really interesting movie that will almost certainly take
place in the control room. I'm thinking that this is
going to be a situation room movie where it's all
about the drone cover and it's about the bait over

(01:11:01):
over where to find him and how. But as far
as we know, there wasn't any action on the ground
with the survivor on the run, So it won't be
like Owen Wilson's behind enemy lines.

Speaker 1 (01:11:12):
That's yeah, I was gonna I was gonna point out
they they said that he retrieved a pistol, but he
did not engage. Yeah, but you know, when you go
back to the coverage, so once the c I So
here's the scenario as we know it's so the CIA
uses their you know, their tech, and they figure out
where this dude is and then they have to then
like concoct a story that this guy's being convoyed out

(01:11:35):
for a maritime extraction to throw people off. We now
know that somebody leaks something to one of the uh
one of the outlets, and you know, Trump's very unhappy
about that. What is your thought on that, by the way,
as somebody who's in the journalism sphere, because do you
think there has to be limitations Because clearly if information

(01:11:55):
came out where the Iranians already thought the guy was
going in one direction, but then the reporting says, no,
there's another guy. And this is going on because remember
they put a bounty out on like sixty or ninety
thousand dollars and you had all, yeah, you had not
just HIGHERGC people, but you had bounty because that's a
lot of money, man, that's generational wealth, and so they're

(01:12:17):
hunting them. It's clear that if that in fact did
tip them off to think that maybe he wasn't being
maritime extracted, it might have hastened the search. And then
you had reaper drones missing people that got within three kilometers.
So do you think there's liability not just on the
part of the leak or but if the journalist at

(01:12:38):
CBS or wherever it is says no, I'm not going
to give you my source that criminally something could happen.

Speaker 3 (01:12:46):
You know, this is a tough one. I mean, I
do think my gut feeling and this is not about
clutching pearls over journalism or what norms are. But I
do think that there's an issue of liability there that
the government would be within its rights to take leakers
to court and take facilitators of those leaks to court

(01:13:07):
if it resulted in harm that can be proven like
really traced like you leaked this, this journalist ran thish
and this person was killed as a result. I'm not
against action being taken because there should be norms as
well that come from the world of journalism that you

(01:13:28):
know are strictly upheld by editorial boards and rooms.

Speaker 1 (01:13:32):
Yeah, and I have a hard time believing that the
editors and whoever the reporters were didn't at least have
questions about this, like just you know, just running through
a process in your brain should go. Man, I don't
know if we should put this out. They haven't rescued
this person yet.

Speaker 3 (01:13:48):
But yeah, it's just where journalism, you know, it's it's
we live in an era where journalists and the media
have never been more adversarial, not just to the administration
but really to America, America's aims overall. And it's really
hard to square sometimes you know what side the American

(01:14:09):
media is batting for, And I know that they'll tell
you it's not about sides, it's just about truth. But
you know, at a certain point, you're just doing the
work of the enemy that we are engaged with. And
you know, I'm not very sympathetic to that.

Speaker 1 (01:14:21):
Yeah, and look, it's some of that is bore from
people who absolutely abuse that going back to McCarthy and
and many of the things that have happened there. But
I think then when you when you stumble upon a
real deal example, and you're right, you got to show that.
I would argue that you don't have to show that
somebody was killed. I just think you have to show

(01:14:43):
that it greatly imperiled this guy, because it sounds like
it made people reevaluate and Iran where they thought this
guy may be, and so that it was much more
dangerous for the troops, the Seal Team six and everyone
that we sent in there. So't I don't know if
you have to show yeah, you just made it worse.
The problem is we're just so good at it. And

(01:15:04):
that's the other thing I've asked a couple of guests,
including a congressman, when you're seeing what we did in Venezuela, right,
we just didn't just go to a guy's house. We
went to the most armed military base in the country
and then just grabbed whoever the hell we wanted. You
see what we did there, And so the question is,
how is some real estate mogul at a Fox News

(01:15:25):
host showing this level of bad assy which we really
haven't seen portrayed and utilized with several you know, there's
a few examples in there. They're able to back to
back it. What has the norm been doing for fifty
years with things like the Afghan withdrawal which was a disaster,
the inability to help in Benghazi disaster, and numerous other incidents.

(01:15:46):
If we have this skill set and we have this tech,
how have we been so underutilizing it for so many years?

Speaker 3 (01:15:54):
Yeah, I mean that's the big question. You know, it's
impossible to know, but I think it does ultimately come
down to daring. It does not ultimately come down to
risk threshold. And Donald Trump, for better or for worse,
he is a guy who likes to play all his cards.
He likes to take risks. Now he does not like

(01:16:15):
on conflict. He is known to just like his stomach
turns over the idea of American casualties and losses of
any kind. You know that people did not historically say
that about Barack Obama or Joe bidenen they're in office.
They do say it about Donald Trump, and he's willing
to take risks with the military for big goals. Now,

(01:16:38):
maybe you can remind me was it Obama or was
it Joe Biden who was generally against the raid on
Osama bin Laden, Because you know, there is a lot
of handwringing that went on in the last two administrations
before Trump when it comes to you know, military extractions
and flexing our muscle around the globe.

Speaker 1 (01:16:59):
I know Obama was. I know one of his objections
was the Pakistan component of it. And you know, if
you if zero dark thirty is to believe, be believed
is an accurate timeline, it sounded like there were quite
a few people that were that were working every angle
to uh, to push away from this. But again that's
how Hollywood portrayed it, So who the heck does But

(01:17:22):
either way, you know, uh, that's that is one of
those things too. And also it has one of the
same components we just had this other one, and it
just shows you the ability to adapt and overcome. Right there,
the helo went down, they had to make a decision.
They still got everybody out of there. They had to
blow it to Smitherings, kind of mirroring what we just
saw there.

Speaker 3 (01:17:40):
So I will, I will, I will fact check myself.
I just wanted to confirm me that was Biden who
was against the Osama bin laden Rist Yeah, most pervently. Yeah,
he was really against it. Thought there was another way
to do it, you know. His his miscalculation of risk
that are worth taking is something that I think really

(01:18:01):
dogged him in his administration when he finally was president.

Speaker 1 (01:18:04):
Well then credit to Obama there, I mean, he's the
guy I had to make the decision. I like I said,
the only thing I heard from him is that he
said the Pakistan component was problematic. But in a way
I mean it is, it was, it was, but we're America. Yeah,
we're America, you're Pakistan. He's just gonna have to deal
with it, bro exactly, that's it. And Trump's willing to

(01:18:26):
do that on the regular. And now we're in this
whole thing where like this, this whole it is probably
deeper and I want to get into it, but I
was consuming a whole lot of British media yesterday. They
they're they're figuring out that this is crisis level stuff
when they're talking about and Trump's you know, tweeting about
closing bases and stuff. You can look at where US

(01:18:48):
bases have closed around the world and the financial destitution
that happened in those geographic locations, plus the ability for
immediate protection. And now they're talking about, well, maybe they
cancel the King's strip. Did you know the King's supposed
to be coming over to do a state visit and
it said that if Trump was to cancel that it

(01:19:11):
would be it would be the biggest fu in a
US British relations since that time we took our country
from them, and I that's that's pretty crazy, man.

Speaker 3 (01:19:23):
Yeah, well, you know, the Prime Minister and kir Starmer's
team does not want the King to do the visit either,
despite the fact that the King really has the best
shot at getting a good conversation. Going again with the
Trump administration, you know, the Trump administration does not respect
kir Starmer at all. Why would they, But they do

(01:19:45):
have a certain amount of admiration for the royal family.
And so there are instances in history where the king
or queen gets involved in politics. They do so very cautiously,
and it usually is breaking a certain amount of norms.
But this would be an instance where the King's touch
and dignity is welcome in Washington.

Speaker 1 (01:20:04):
So we'll find out all right, real quick. The Artemist
mission tomorrow is re entry. Obviously, that is you know,
top top two most dangerous times, right, It's just like
any any other flight, takeoff and landing for most accidents happened.
They did have some heat shield issues, even though it
survived the test one and the astronauts would have survived.

(01:20:26):
They made some tweaks. If the biggest problem turns out
to be outlook updates in the bathrooms, you got to
count that is a success. Plus they found a face
on the Moon from aliens according to the Internet, So
I don't know for all since there No, I've not seen.

Speaker 3 (01:20:42):
That, but I'd be delighted. Now we're all sitting on
the edge of our seats. Augumus two will return tomorrow Friday.
It's going to be really exciting. And I think for
you know, I was I was at church last night
and some older folks were talking about their you know,
their fear and trauma related to you know, shuttle explosions
in the nineties, right challenger, and a lot of people.

(01:21:06):
I realized a lot of people are not watching Artemis two.
I was surrounded by people who refuse to watch it
because they're actually just really scared. They've seen stuff go
wrong and they don't want to see it again. And
so I think this is a reminder that this is
sort of a grand cultural moment for restoring hope and
overcoming some of our fears. We've got to take. We've

(01:21:28):
got to take big risks like that if we're going
to grow as a people.

Speaker 1 (01:21:31):
I'm going to give you. I'm sorry, I short give
you a short time here Mark the Animal Farm movie.
I saw some people freaking out. You said, wait, give it,
you know, give it a chance. Are you still saying
give it a chance.

Speaker 5 (01:21:43):
Yeah, I am.

Speaker 3 (01:21:44):
I went to a family screening last week. It was
it was parents and children, a lot of kids under
the age of thirteen. You know, first of all, this
movie is.

Speaker 1 (01:21:54):
Really I'm sorry man, yeah, this move.

Speaker 3 (01:21:57):
This movie is really scripted for kids and as basic
one oh one lesson ontotalitarianism. I think it is appropriate
and sticks to or well enough.

Speaker 1 (01:22:06):
All right, sorry, sorry to do that to steam. And
we've got a role. We'll be right back, all right,
I go. I'm gonna try to get all these stories
in what a weird headline? Pastor charged with manslaughter after
man drowns during baptism. I'm sorry the what sixty one

(01:22:27):
year old Robert Smith who was having his baptism ceremony?
This is in the UK, or this happened? Was sure?
I'm trying to figure out they baptize in some crazy way?
Also does that count? I need a ruling here? Does

(01:22:47):
that count? Were you baptized if you never emerged after
being submerged? And what And by the way, it's a
woman pastor too, all right. I think it's because like
she didn't have she herself wasn't able to list him out,
lift him out if there was a problem, and they

(01:23:08):
didn't have enough people there, which is strange because usually,
you know, and they do those adult baptism ceremonies, they
get a bunch of people standing around, like dipping you right,
holding your shoulders, putting you in. So I don't know.
It was also the UK. I never know who, you know,
how they charge things over there anyway, All right, let
me let me get to this. This got a ton
a ton of reaction yesterday. It's an article for the

(01:23:33):
Washington Post. The writer, what is this guy's name? I mean,
you need to know some background on this guy too,
because he's decided he's the victim. Shadi Hamid. He is
a columnist for the Washington Post. He is a former
decade long fellow at the Brookings Institute. He is a

(01:23:57):
professor associate profess us or something or part time professor
at Georgetown. Now, regardless of what you think of all
those institutions, do you ross, would you say it's safe
to say that this guy has excelled. He's watching Post reporter,
Brookings Institute professor at Georgetown. Arguably he's kin know, he's

(01:24:20):
moved up the food chain. Things are going pretty well
for him, right, Well, no, so his piece is it's
a doozy. So he wrote a piece arguing that Muslims
don't need to assimilate in America, I know, right, saying
that they're different, and frankly, he says he's tired of

(01:24:41):
having to prove he belongs here. I don't know what
you mean. You're killing it. You're a lunatic, but you're
killing it, especially by DC standards. You're at the paper,
you're at the university, you're at the think tank. The
assimilation defense. Look, how well we've integrated is satisfy to make,
but it concedes a premise. I no longer accept that

(01:25:03):
a minority community's right to be in the US depends
on its willingness to converge with the cultural mainstream. It
shouldn't depend on that. It shouldn't depend on anything. Now
he's going to go through it. He's gonna make these
really stupid arguments and and and it's it's it's disingenuous. Okay. Yeah,

(01:25:24):
the title of the thing is I'm tired of proving
I belong in America. It's paywalled, but Fox News has
a big write up. Hamid, who is Muslims, was responding
to rhetoric from various lawmakers who were talking about, you know,
following the string of attacks that we had there over
the past decade. Surveys have shown that American Muslims are patriotics,

(01:25:47):
civically engaged, more likely than the US general population to
say that political violence is never justified. He doesn't cite
where this is from, so it's trust me, bro I guess.
But he goes on to point out that Muslims Muslim
immigrants are different in certain ways. Islam shapes how at
asherents think about family, sexuality and what it means to

(01:26:09):
live a good life. I'm sorry, I kind of feel
like that's what religion does for the most part, for everybody,
and not just Islam.

Speaker 6 (01:26:18):
Ross.

Speaker 1 (01:26:18):
Would you say that Christianity shapes how people should think
about family, sexuality and what it means to be a
good person to live a good life. Yes, Okay, there
were some pointers of the book you're saying.

Speaker 8 (01:26:29):
Yeah, I would say it kind of a you know,
shaped in formed Western civilization and our laws, and yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:26:35):
Much that's a good point that in the youurquoi nation, right, yeah. Uh,
simply put, Islam is in more public religion, the Christianity
Muslim prayer is more visually striking, and often communal Christians
don't do they ever gather? Could you look this up?
And it might be tough. Could you see if Christians
or Jews for that matter, or Mormons for that matter,

(01:26:59):
would you see if they ever gather together to worship?

Speaker 8 (01:27:02):
Sure, let me check on that. Yes they do, Yes,
Oh they do? Okay, all right?

Speaker 1 (01:27:08):
Interesting? Moreover, practicing Muslims despite being repeatedly asked, who cannot
devou Sharia even if we wanted to? As it includes
guidelines on how to pray, fast and otherwise observe what
it means to submit to God. And and here's the
thing that is accurate. Sharia is more than just all
the really horrible. Now your your daughter showed her eye
and now you got an old stoner on her killings.

(01:27:32):
But more specifically, yeah, but that's also how other religions
work where you have those here's the difference because he
then claims that that they they shouldn't have to because
once you sorry, you a drink, uh ross, you need

(01:27:56):
to talk for a moment please, all right?

Speaker 8 (01:27:58):
You know, I would say that the best part about
the masters, right is that when you win the green jacket.
You get twenty five percent at Olive Garden at Augusta.
And we just shared the poster actually on the show
account at Casey on the radio. It's very important you
check that out right, and okay, oh you're back. Yeah,
And I'm just happy I didn't play Joe dirty. But
I was saying, sorry, I was literally eating something right

(01:28:19):
before we came out in the air, and it's just
was it Olive Garden, and it was in honor of
the masters.

Speaker 1 (01:28:25):
But you only know this because I told you this.
I was telling Ross I got Olive Garden last night,
and they didn't have they didn't have any more zipp
at Tiskana, and I was arguing whether they should be
allowed to be open if they don't have zip at Toscana,
that I either get minnestroni, which I like the minnestroni.
But Ross indicated that as long as they had the breadsticks,
it's fine, which I I yeah, okay, that's fair, all right.

(01:28:47):
So anyway, so he's arguing that that basically, once you
start to assimilate, you lose yourself, and you do, you
lose a certain part of things, but a lot of
times you lose the stuff. It's the bad stuff, the
old country stuff, the beefs, the you know, the the
blood feuds. That's part of it. And also you lose

(01:29:08):
certain things that don't fit with the culture here, and
some of it's really bad stuff. We just don't do
it anymore. You don't do it anymore, and that's that's
part of this thing. But to decide that you're repressed
because uh, or that you think people are mad at
you because you don't choose to consume alcohol, which is

(01:29:29):
an example he makes there. I don't under who's mad
about that? I've never ross you.

Speaker 2 (01:29:35):
Let me.

Speaker 1 (01:29:35):
I'm gonna go to the liquor star of the show.
You want you want me, gave a bottle of something
not gonna pass, but you can, you can, you know,
have fun? No no, no, no, we gotta throw you
out the country, lunatic or don't eat pork products, good
more bacon for me? What do I care? I don't.

Speaker 8 (01:29:52):
You can't come to a country and expect that, expect
them to change all their laws and customs for you, Right,
it's absurd, And you've got to understand that they're major
portions of your religion and Charia law, which are not
congruent with the constitution or Western civilization in general.

Speaker 1 (01:30:07):
Well, yes, where people have a beef. And I'll give
you an example, because it's just happened over in the UK.
There was a guy who ran a grocery or a
a butcher shop over there, and he had run this
butcher shop for years and years. And by the way,
he himself is an immigrant. I think he's just not
a Muslim imigrant. I think he's so India. But here's
the deal, or he seek or something. Here's the deal.

(01:30:28):
But the neighborhood in which he runs it has quickly
become a Muslim majority neighborhood, and so you had essentially
their rep because they have their own little representative council,
even though we're told that's not going on. So they
go to this store and they tell him from now
on he has to only sell hule all meat, right,
And he's like, yeah, no, I do this and this

(01:30:51):
is what we do and this we have a customer base,
and I'm not going to do it. They violently attacked
his shop. That's where people have problems. Not that you're
not get that you're a teetotaler because of your religion.
That's just fun, you want to go ahead and do it?
Did the Mormons do it?

Speaker 8 (01:31:07):
I mean, that's a great part about this country. Worship
what you want, eat what you want, drink what you
want is not as long as you're not breaking any
major laws. But you can't force that upon other people.
But you have a portion of these people that believe
that that's what they need to do, not that they're
they believe that they are ordered to do that. Now,
in Utah, how many times were you basically forced against
your will to go to one of those weird caffeine

(01:31:27):
free soda parties.

Speaker 1 (01:31:28):
That they do. None.

Speaker 8 (01:31:29):
I did go to one accidentally, though, Yeah, yeah, yeah,
you did mention that, so which was the most bizarre
thing ever, because it's like twenty two to twenty three
and I was invited to a house party in Utah,
thought and I'm like yeah, and I show up with
Jack Daniels. I'm like, let's go. And they were all
sitting around the living room table of the dude's mom's
house with soda beer. No they had like the I

(01:31:52):
don't remember, it might have been just sprite because they
don't drink caffeine, And like in the middle of the
table they had tons of sugar and snap and pixie sticks,
and that was the piled Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:32:02):
You're yet wild. Yeah, my buddy said it. I go
over to his house. They'd have all the soda but
none with caffeine.

Speaker 8 (01:32:08):
But I didn't show up at the party, and I
wasn't like, no, you guys have to drink this.

Speaker 1 (01:32:12):
Jack Daniels.

Speaker 8 (01:32:13):
I assessed my situation and I said, Okay, I'm the
odd one out here. I'm going to play along and
I'm going to be a good person about this and
I'm just gonna I'm gonna enjoy the pixie sticks and
just enjoy the company.

Speaker 1 (01:32:26):
Did you do a line of them just to cameo
all right? You know what I mean?

Speaker 8 (01:32:32):
Yeah, out there and be like, hey, you need to
change everything about your party and everything you're doing here.

Speaker 1 (01:32:36):
And if not, oh you didn't hold him down and
Jack Daniels down there gullet. That's so weird, man, because
that so yeah, I was. That's why this article is disingenuous, right,
I was the guest. I was the odd one out there. Yeah,
so you just you you drank some soda, hit some
pixie sticks, You're good to go. But also you could
have left right, instead of lecturing them on the thing

(01:32:59):
there or trying to burn their.

Speaker 8 (01:33:01):
I could have left recorded, I could have left, or
I could have never even gone crazy research, but we will.

Speaker 1 (01:33:08):
Right. That's nuts, man. So yeah, this article is hot
garbage and frankly it's kind of disturbing, But we got
to go to weather where it's not disturbing because Jeff
Mar's got a great forecast for you. Jeff, what's happening?

Speaker 5 (01:33:20):
Yeah, we certainly do.

Speaker 1 (01:33:20):
It's going to be dry right on into the weekend.

Speaker 5 (01:33:22):
In temperatures, we'll get warmer with some eighties by the
time we had itto Saturday and Sunday. The meantime, we're
starting off this morning with some cool conditions, but we'll
eventually hit sixty seven with sunshine and a light breeze
out of the northeast, and then clear and cool overnight
again with a low dipping down to forty one Tomorrow,
mildr temperatures for the afternoon with sunshine, and I have
seventy six, clear four Friday night with a low down
to fifty two, and then a beautiful weekend to look

(01:33:43):
forward to with sunshine. Saturday and Sunday, highs will hit
the low eighties. We'll top out in the low eighties
with sunshine Monday, and then Tuesday sunny and warm with
a high climbing up to eighty eight degrees.

Speaker 1 (01:33:52):
All right, thanks Jeff, and we'll come back with Bloomberg
news next. Denise, I need you to do the thing
with the stocks again you did yesterday. Do that again?

Speaker 3 (01:34:00):
Like that?

Speaker 6 (01:34:01):
Okay. It looks like what goes up must come down.

Speaker 9 (01:34:05):
After stock surged yesterday, futures today are lower as all
the headlines continue to come in from the Mid East,
and crude oil futures are rising. We're close to one
hundred dollars a barrel now on West Texas. Crude doubt
futures down one sixty two s and P futures down seventeen.
Nasdaq futures down forty seven. Not everyone agrees, though, with
all this negativity. We just had National Economic Console director

(01:34:27):
Kevin Hassett tell Fox Business US economy will grow four
to five percent this year despite any temporary impact from
the war. Hassett also says that the US is working
with Iran on what could be a great deal. I
should mention, though, cases stock futures have taken another leg
lower after Hassett spoke, so not everyone is convinced there.

Speaker 1 (01:34:48):
Oh no, it's unacceptable, so we'll fix that.

Speaker 9 (01:34:52):
What else you got, Oh, we've got some other business news,
including news of layoffs. Wall Street Journal says Disney is
planning the layoff has many as a thousand people in
the coming weeks. Many of the cuts in the recently
consolidated marketing department are also combining staff of Disney Plus
and Hulu services. Lately, apparently some men are now obsessing
over improving their fertility wellness. Brands are selling all these

(01:35:16):
supplements now in testing kits to improve sperm health. Used
to be kind of this was the domain of women,
but now a lot of these companies say they're selling
even more men's sperm count health products than women's products,
probably driven by all the TikTok stuff about how men,
you know, have to get in shape for fertility as well.

(01:35:37):
They're selling supplements. Companies like Parallel Burden Bee offering products
for men, including a ninety nine dollars fertility test. And
then there's swim Club that's a new male fertility supplement company.
Wall Street Journal says their tagline is you can't outovulate
bad sperms. So they're kind of pointing out that men
are involved in this as well, and venture capitalists are

(01:35:58):
getting in on the game now. They're investing millions of
dollars in startups focusing on mail, fertility and a couple
of things. I also wanted to mention Panera doing what
it can with its menu to try to move customers.
It's rolling out these salad stuffers. This involves salad stuffed
into new soft Italian rolls and Doctor Pepper. Casey teaming
up with Snack Pack to bring the drink into gelatin

(01:36:21):
form snack packs, says, these gels are you know, perfect
easy snack. They don't need to be refrigerated. These cups
sold in multi packs. They're obviously hoping you eat more
than one. And the brand is also collaborating to make
Doctor Pepper flavored freeze pops. In case you're watching you
know the Augusta from home and you know.

Speaker 1 (01:36:43):
On one of these seven streaming services, you need to
watch the whole thing.

Speaker 9 (01:36:47):
Yes, you about It works if you want to, or
you can just keep an eye on the leaderboard and
you know, have a little screen up.

Speaker 6 (01:36:55):
A lot of people do this at work too.

Speaker 9 (01:36:57):
They watch this at work, and I kind of wanted
to ask you you were asking.

Speaker 6 (01:37:01):
Me about my pick.

Speaker 9 (01:37:02):
Yeah, I kind of wanted to ask you who you think.
I guess the terrain I should call it, and the
weather favors.

Speaker 6 (01:37:09):
Just consider it.

Speaker 1 (01:37:11):
Here's a little this morning. I don't know that it
so a lot of times morning to afternoon is such
a huge difference because of moisture levels, right, because it's
a shot maker's course. It doesn't sound like that's the
case this year, and right now Latin America is kicking
the crap out everyone. Jose marial Atabo ala Thabo, I
can ever say his name is from Spain. And Anio Carbrera,

(01:37:33):
who's Argentinian, are the only two that are low par so.
But I'm look, Scottie Shuffler, I think the guy's just
machine right now, and so I guess he's kind of
my pick, even though that's the top guy. Uh So,
we'll see so a lot of people like Dave Chambeau.

Speaker 9 (01:37:50):
So three monsters in five years, that would be quite
a feat for him, you know, I mean we haven't
seen that since Tiger Woods, right, so that would be
legendary and that would be really exciting.

Speaker 6 (01:38:03):
You mentioned Deshamba.

Speaker 9 (01:38:05):
He's pretty hot, right, I mean, yeah, that he had
the golf thing and the two masters. What about jan
Ram though, he he's kind of study and he's a pro.

Speaker 6 (01:38:19):
I mean the people who have been there before, those
are the.

Speaker 1 (01:38:21):
Ones who yes, yes, I don't know, we'll figure it out.
I got a role though, because I.

Speaker 6 (01:38:27):
Think looks composed and trustworthy.

Speaker 1 (01:38:30):
That's when when he's on, he's a really good player.

Speaker 6 (01:38:33):
So we'll see and watch.

Speaker 1 (01:38:34):
All right, thank you, and each appreciate it.
