Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Every year something like this happens, So we're gonna mock it,
don't worry. But also we're not gonna take it as
seriously as everyone's taking it, because at the end of
the day, it's just dumb. It's it's it's the ultimate
and admittedly funny you know, gotcha part of the campaign stuff, right,

(00:20):
because if if you really got into a core discussion
of how things like this happen and why they happen,
and all of the things that contribute to it, there's
a lot of behind the scenes stuff that's just stupid.
But in reality, watching one of the Senate candidates post
AI generated photos of the Carolina Hurricanes and right cocaines

(00:43):
and then when asked if they know any canes not
be able to name any canes is funny.

Speaker 2 (00:50):
It is funny, and.

Speaker 1 (00:52):
That's what happened. That's what happened to Michael Wattley yesterday.
But to be fair, posting the graphic that is an
AI general ratographic that then has an inlay of a player,
a nameless kind of like you know, conglomerate of Hey,
there's a white hockey player I some by somebody on

(01:13):
you know, on the social media staff is not the
biggest it's not the biggest problem in the world. And
to be fair, also, you know, one of the dead
giveaways of AI is when there's you know, there's no
writing except for just a few like one or two places,
and then the writing will look like AI has never

(01:33):
heard a language ever and it's just randomly inserting lever
letters sometimes shapes. To be fair, is harder to detect
on a hockey uniform because Eastern Europe and the former
Soviet block exists, and so even a jumbled non valel inclusive,
you know, line of thirteen letters could feasibly be a

(01:55):
hockey player's name.

Speaker 2 (01:58):
In this case, it was not.

Speaker 1 (02:00):
So this is n w R, a l who, by
the way, has a financial interest over into the hockey
side there and also has a bunch of bias in
my opinion internally when it comes to the political stuff,
is not the best arbiter of who should be.

Speaker 2 (02:16):
Feasting on this story.

Speaker 1 (02:19):
And there's also copyright stuff you get into, and like,
there's a lot going on here, but at the base
here is this. Democrats and some Carolina Hurricanes fans are
criticized the Republican US Senate candidate Michael Wattley for a
social media message cheering on Raleigh's hockey team. I would
argue that's the Carolinas hockey team, hence the way that

(02:40):
it's named. But sure, why not criticizing US Senate candidate
Michael Wattley for a social media message cheering on the team,
accusing him of being a fair weather fan. Because here's
the deal, the amount of times politicians have posted things
they clearly have no interest in, but they realized politically

(03:02):
they should have an interest in.

Speaker 2 (03:05):
I could just I could do my whole show on
that all the time, every day. Wait, and we do.
We mock it when it gets crazy, all right.

Speaker 1 (03:12):
We mock people when they're sitting there and like I'm
I'm grilling, I'm doing some barbecue and then you see
them in an apron and you can still see the
fold lines in it. Or Chuck Schumers but making raw
hamburgers with cheese already on them, right. Or Cal Cunningham,
who we refer to as Jody Cunningham on this show,

(03:32):
right because he, you know, like to like to hook
up with service members wives when they're off deployed. You know,
Cal Cunningham with that, with that stupid barbecue post, when
in reality, what actually cost him the election was all
the other stuff I just mentioned.

Speaker 2 (03:47):
He's a bad candidate.

Speaker 1 (03:49):
I don't care if Michael Wtley knows hockey players. I
do care if your social media team is dumb enough
to put you in that position so that a reporter
who who was up to no good, by the way,
would never press Roy Cooper in this same way, is
going to go out there and try to hang one
on you, which he did.

Speaker 2 (04:09):
He got you right.

Speaker 1 (04:11):
So a head of the head of the Stanley Cup,
you have this this this post right, and it says
let's go Canes, and it's just it's it looks like
a standard promotional post you'd see any team put out there.
The problem is is that the player doesn't actually exist.

Speaker 2 (04:28):
Who's in there.

Speaker 1 (04:29):
It's like a mashup of maybe I don't know, Sebastian
Ajo and Jarvis. Maybe I don't I don't know what
they were going for. That being said, it doesn't matter.
It's got that, it's got a bunch of emodes. He's
got a hockey stick, got an American flag. It just
looks like a generic graphic. The problem is some social

(04:50):
media users took the issue with another feature of the post,
an image of what appears to be a Hurricanes player
that accompanied the message. The his fans had a difficult
time identifying the player. They accuse Watley of using AI
to create the image. Maybe he did, maybe he didn't,
maybe his team did. Again, it's not like it's a
live action photo. They're purporting to be real. It's it

(05:13):
says game day right in the background. It's got the
North Carolina flag in the background, it's got the Hurricanes logo,
it says versus, and it's got the logo for the
Vegas team, puck drop eight eight pm Eastern, Let's bring
the Cup back to NC. Good luck Canes, blah blah blah.
And then down in the corner it's got like basically

(05:33):
the watermark of his campaign. And so what do I think.
I think some in the social media team had that
had AI render that thing and then posted it. Because
I also don't believe Michael Watley's running around posted on
his Twitter account. I wouldn't give them.

Speaker 2 (05:50):
That much credit.

Speaker 1 (05:53):
But then that then we're all right, we're gonna make
We're gonna make this a story. And then what made
it a story was so people are people are clowning
on the image.

Speaker 2 (06:02):
It's pretty funny by the way. They're like, who is that?

Speaker 1 (06:05):
Right, and they're making up names for the player that
it is is that Jack Sandry Blakenkoff might be again,
this is this is the this is the bane of
hockey names, right, that is that that absolutely could be
a hockey player's name. So anyway, so people are mocking
on that whatever, and then it says nothing, says true

(06:25):
fanly AI generated fake player. Again, it's a graphic. It's
a it's like a graphical image. It's not purported to
be a live action thing. That being said, Uh well,
Whattley on Wednesday did acknowledge the AI was used to
create the image. He said, it's just a graphic we created. Look,
I want to see the Canes win. It would be
great for the state. I don't know. I don't know

(06:46):
if he cares anything about hockey. I don't know if
he's ever been to a Canes match. I don't know.

Speaker 2 (06:53):
Does it matter?

Speaker 1 (06:56):
But also, once people are being critical of this, could
did you do could you could you learn one of
their names? Yeah? Now? And then no, contrast me, Look,
you know Roy Cooper is a true hockey fan. Here
is here's all the pictures of him over the years.

Speaker 3 (07:11):
There.

Speaker 1 (07:11):
Yeah, well, it's easy to be a hockey fan when
you're the governor and he basically have a free seat
waiting for you, and then you show up whenever you need.

Speaker 2 (07:18):
Some good picks for your true thing.

Speaker 1 (07:20):
I don't know if Roy Cooper is a hockey hockey fan.
I also don't care if he is, doesn't matter to me.
And yes, there's lots of photos with him with various
current and former Hockey Hurricanes Hurricanes staff players. But he
was also governor for eight years. And then the governor

(07:40):
shows up whenever they're doing good, and it's pretty good,
by the way, it's pretty good to go to a
sporting event when you're the governor. Your good seats, people
fawn over, you get to do stuff. Oh you want
to ring the bell? Okay, come on out. These are
all things that happen. But good lord man, what happens,

(08:00):
Well the reporter gets the setup. Former w r L reporter,
name your three favorite Hurricanes players, and you need to
have a better answer than you know.

Speaker 2 (08:10):
I think we like them all.

Speaker 1 (08:15):
Because you can't pull off the Trump Bible, which which
which book of the Bible. You can't pull it off.
Trump could pull that off. What's your favorite book? I
like all of them. Two Corinthians. He can get away
with that. Just they're gonna they're gonna torch you on this.

(08:37):
Ask the name one favorite player. He said, quote that's
a team that's loaded, which is true, by the way.
Now on Tuesday, you would question that. But I don't
think that's fair. I think these guys have been just
on a tear all year, and I really think all
that downtime is just tough man, and I think they
know it, and you're gonna need you. Look, your first

(08:57):
line is gonna have to perform better tonight than they
did Tuesday. That's unquestionable. But I don't need politicians to
break it down for me. Other Watley social media counts
have featured similar images. One post on Instagram featured player
looks like it might be Blake, but he's wearing Ajo's number. Okay,

(09:18):
again it's Ai, and again it's it's a graphic. If
he just said, here's a picture I took of the
Canes playing the Vegas Nights because I was sitting there
as a true fan, and then it was all Ai.

Speaker 2 (09:31):
Then whatever torchum.

Speaker 1 (09:35):
But I know this is why Ross thinks Lee Trevino
plays six different sports. Spoiler, he doesn't. Ross, who's your
favorite Hurricanes player? Even Ross knows.

Speaker 2 (09:47):
Favorite favorite favorite member of the Hurricanes. You got one
besides Lee Trevino?

Speaker 1 (09:52):
Besides Yes, I'm gonna make you pick other than Lee Trevine.

Speaker 2 (09:55):
I would go.

Speaker 4 (09:56):
I would definitely because I'm a big Carolina Canes. You
have a hat, you are big Carolina Kanes. I love
their chicken too. Yeah, yeah, man, I would go Eric
Stall all right, is that on the news?

Speaker 1 (10:12):
Did you hear that on the news?

Speaker 2 (10:14):
No, it's I was. I was at a game twenty
years ago.

Speaker 4 (10:17):
Okay, all right, listen, I want them to win. Am
I a big hockey fan?

Speaker 3 (10:20):
No?

Speaker 4 (10:21):
I don't pretend to be. I like going hockey games
because I like the vibe and the energy of the crowd.
There's nothing better than going to a hockey game. Do
I watch hockey?

Speaker 2 (10:28):
I do not. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (10:31):
Do you care that Michael Wattley, one of his social
media people, made a graphic and then he can't name
Kanes players.

Speaker 4 (10:37):
I mean, I think you pretty much you laid it out.
I mean, that's it's just the way you just learn one. Yeah,
you would do well to learn one. But I mean
we we also, you know, we we are here every
day and we hear the news. We know names, right
like Sebastianaho. We know those names.

Speaker 1 (10:50):
Yes, well I know them too because I am a
little bit of a hockey fan out there.

Speaker 2 (10:55):
So that's how I know. Lee Trevino does not play
for the Hurricane. He does not. He's retired.

Speaker 1 (11:02):
No, he didn't retire. It was never a thing. Really,
it was never a thing. Yeah, now plays golf, NFL
and uh, shooting sports. That's what he's into.

Speaker 2 (11:14):
So but they have a fun with that story. So
there you go.

Speaker 1 (11:20):
And of course they get the political science profession. They
have a couple that they always wheel in, one from
Western Carolina than the dude from Meredith. They went Meredith
today because Meredith is closer to the Kynes Arena. Walley
described his campaign's use of AI as quote not a
big deal, but some political as disagree. The fact that
it was bungled makes it more of an issue, said

(11:42):
David mcclennan. It makes it an issue that's fun to
laugh at. I don't know that it makes it an issue.
And in that sense, I would argue that something that's
more of an issue to maybe how votes are going
to fall in this Senate race are the thousands and
thousands of people in the state of North Carolina who
were grossly financially injured, in some cases losing businesses that

(12:04):
they started, who were comparable to big box retailers, who
were told by Roy Cooper, who ignored anybody else's input,
ignored his Council of State, wouldn't even take questions from
media that was critical, and then went through and had
one of the most aggressive lockdown policies in the country,

(12:25):
thus decimating with bad information people's financially live financial livelihoods,
and then aweshucked about it. I that's what people care
more about, whether whether they know that Lee Trevino's on
the team or not. To me, I know you're a
political science professor at Meredith. Good for you, quite an

(12:50):
accomplishment over at Meredith, But shut up.

Speaker 2 (12:54):
Is Lee Trevino on the coaching staff?

Speaker 1 (12:57):
Not? No, no, he's never What would he instruct them
in chipping? Do they do a lot of chick I
guess some say there are some hockey stick movements that
might mirror a golf.

Speaker 4 (13:12):
There is a famous documentary about a hockey player playing golf.

Speaker 2 (13:15):
Right, so they're just one there so he could go
both ways. Do you think sometimes it goes the other way?

Speaker 1 (13:26):
You think that's now? Don't get me wrong. I know
hockey players, professional hockey players that do play golf, because
I've been at some purity events where they have some
of these guys. So that is a thing, but it's
not really a thing. Is they're really there just to
be there, That's all. That's all I'm saying. And I

(13:46):
I I and honestly I don't have anything against ho
to Cootpy, but they were they were promoting her podcast
like Living Joy or something.

Speaker 2 (13:54):
Who's listening to hoe to Copy's podcast.

Speaker 1 (13:58):
You're not listening, really, you're listening to Joy, Yeah, Enjoy podcast.

Speaker 2 (14:02):
They make me listen to it. It's part of my gig.
I didn't want to bring it up to you to
make you feel weird.

Speaker 1 (14:07):
Who's they Lee Trevino Is Lee Trevino in the room
with us and and the rest of upper management. Yes,
oh so Trevor's. Trevor's like, ah, you gotta listen to
tode Copies podcasts, And you don't want to tell me
because what I feel bad.

Speaker 4 (14:22):
For you, and I listened to all of them last
night was actually the wonderful world of concrete podcasts.

Speaker 1 (14:28):
Well that might have studies that might have something that
rebar dode. They get into like set columns and stuff.

Speaker 2 (14:35):
Oh yeah, but yeah, I'm tired.

Speaker 1 (14:37):
I mean, what you can accomplish with proper rebar and
proper poor on concrete.

Speaker 2 (14:42):
It's just a substantial thank you, That's what I'm saying.

Speaker 1 (14:47):
Far more interesting than anything unless hod A copy is
going to talk about that and she has some sort
of weird knowledge. I can watch somebody poor concrete. Bro,
You ever watched somebody poor concrete?

Speaker 2 (14:58):
I did, Yeah, when they built our yeah.

Speaker 1 (15:04):
Keeping in the USC arena on the White House South lawn,
built for a series of fights on his birthday and
flag day quote permanently. It's just a giant octagon man
sit right there on the lawn. Plus it has the
whole lights wrap right, So if you've seen this thing constructed,
it's like it's got all the elevated lighting positions and

(15:26):
everything that you need. In fact, it sits higher than
the White House itself when you encompass the the the
light racks and everything above it all right, Ross, are
you cool with just leaving this thing a permanent part
of the White House? Because I am I and frankly,
I think there's a lot of ways we can get
used out of this, especially when you when you guys

(15:48):
get buttoned down into something. Also, whoever does finally destroy
it will know who the woss is. That's the other thing,
the first person to come along and then take it
down because there's scared that they might have to fight
in there. Your your truth, your true self will be
laid bare and then right into the octagon with you.

Speaker 2 (16:08):
Man, that'd be great. So, uh, I don't know.

Speaker 1 (16:14):
I know he says stuff to mess with people, but
I really hope he's serious, because what a conundrum for
the next president. Let's just say the next Democrat president.
Now you're like, all right, I gotta get that thing
out of there, Like, oh, you're you're scared. You're scared
of the octagon. What's going on? And they should be

(16:34):
unless you're gonna get like tall Rico in there to
fight somebody. I'd watch that may make him fight better.
That'd be awful. That's slap fight. Oh but at least
you know, you get to see what you're made of
there love that. Also, things I don't love include why

(16:58):
there's so many viralics labs apparently everywhere here you have
two scientists now charge foreign scientists which attempting to smuggle
monkey pocks into the United States. This should be instead
the Port Forever by the way, and I had to
keep seeing these stories. There's there's just these random and

(17:20):
they claim to be virology, you know, some sort of
Oh well, no, it's we gotta yeah, we got a
the National Institute of Health. Uh, let's see. Uh what
is this the Rocky Mountain Lab at Hamilton, Montana. By
the way, I've been to Hamilton, Montana. I promise almost
many of none of you have been, and if you were,
you wouldn't remember it is. There in't a damn thing

(17:42):
in Hamilton, Montana. It's like an hour, not even an
hour south of Missoula. You're not even ahead in the
direction of like Deer Lodge and everything else. It's its
own thing. It runs basically along the Nez Pierce. Uh,
what would be called the Cellway over on the Idaho side,
just rugged mountains of nothing.

Speaker 2 (18:00):
You're telling me that's in the middle of that.

Speaker 1 (18:02):
We have some random pop up virology lab where scientists from.

Speaker 2 (18:06):
Where's this dude from Cameroons working?

Speaker 1 (18:10):
And then all the Chinese virology labs in California, and
they keep having these stories where people are trying to
smuggle in horribleness. You don't need monkey pox. If you
want to go play with monkey pox, go play with
monkey pox back in Cameroon, not here. Yeah, these scientists

(18:31):
were said to try to sneak monkey pocks into the
country so they could take it to the research lab.
Vincent Munster and Claude Qui both researchers with the National
Institute of Health at the Rocky Mountain Laboratory. We're charged
today in a criminal complaint with conspiracy to smuggle monkey
pocks in the United States and giving false statements to

(18:52):
federal law enforcement. They have that woman they're deported. It's
not for monkey pox stuff, but she smuggled in what
was it, frog embryos And I'm just I'm getting sick.
Why are all of these Why are there a bunch
of foreign scientists who happened to live in the US
smuggling crap like biological crap into the US, including monkey pox.

(19:14):
We don't need monkey pox, well, casees somebody's got to
go ahead and research it. Great, go do it elsewhere.
It was kind of the point of the lab in Wuhan.
You know, tell the thing nobody wants. It serves helps
people in munt I don't want my relatives in Wyoming
and some in Montana because you want to play with

(19:34):
monkey pox having to deal with that, Oh well, it's
a nice rule thing there. Hamilton's exactly the size of
town that you would see in some drama where the
government just put a dome over something and you know,
put it everybody's walking around in like the moon suits.

Speaker 2 (19:52):
That's exactly. There's nothing around it. There's nothing.

Speaker 1 (19:55):
You can't even if you went into the into the
wilderness there, you probably wouldn't make it.

Speaker 2 (19:59):
It's that rule. So that's what they're doing that.

Speaker 1 (20:04):
That's what they decided they're gonna do their little monkey
pox experiments over there, except they're not because the government
clearly wasn't doing it because it didn't give it to them,
so they had to smuggle it in from another country.
And also, where do you just go buy monkey pox?
Do they have monkey pox stores in Cameroon or other
foreign countries where they're getting these things I've done a

(20:25):
lot of extensive traveling. I've never stumbled upon some sort
of you know, a little gift shop of horrible diseases.
You're flipping through there like you're at a record store
in the Niners. You got monkey pox or some abola.
Here's that thing that makes your your unit bleed. I
can't remember the name of that. That's not like horrible

(20:46):
disease and I learned about that just makes it ross.
Did you know that there's a disease out there where
basically the symptom is it's just blood, continuous bleeding from that.
That's it? How angry was God that day? What was
going on? Man? And some guys that you know, we

(21:06):
should do. We should smuggle the thing where all you
do is just bleed out of your sports because we
should smuggle that into the US. So a couple guys
could poke around in a petri dish with it. Well,
what are we doing? Do you want to study this stuff?
Do what others do? Put it on a cruise ship
somewhere out in the middle of the ocean and see

(21:26):
what happens. Just don't let it dock here. Pretty The
criminal complaint Vincent Munster, who while it was in Cameroon,
and Claude Quee is a Cameroonian citizen. Technically monster I
believe has Yeah, he has citizenship from the Netherlands.

Speaker 2 (21:43):
But AnyWho, so they work together.

Speaker 1 (21:47):
Both men has focused on the e merging viral pathogens
and now those pathogens crossed the species barrier. Well, monkey
pox is a pretty good one. So during the last
time we talked about monkey pox, it was like two
dudes that were hooking up and then their dog got it.
That's a true story. That's not me trying to be ugly.

(22:08):
So you know, you talk about cross species stuff there,
that was that was That was the last time we
heard about monkey pox. They work at a bile safety
Level four laboratory, which employs the highest level of biosafety precautions.
So these guys are like really really in the game,
and they're still sneaking because you know what it is,

(22:29):
it's the hubris of it. It's the same hubrist that
struck the gain of function research with Fauci. You just
get in your head it's okay, I know what I'm doing,
but you didn't, and you don't, and then the whole
world suffered.

Speaker 2 (22:43):
And then Roy Cooper made everyone suffer worse.

Speaker 1 (22:49):
According to CNN, Monster is in charge of virus ecological
the virus ecology section at Rocky Mount Laboratories in Hamilton, Montana, which,
by the way, is all so Fauci's old stomping around.

Speaker 2 (23:01):
I don't know if you guys know this.

Speaker 1 (23:03):
Remember when they were ripping the voice boxes out of beagles.
That's some of these cats to shrew them beagles, right.
The duo just returned with QUI from a trip to
the Republic of the Congo. Who's going vacationing there? Hey, Roz,
you were mentioning you and the wife for trying to

(23:23):
put a vacation together for later in the year. I
got your tickets to the Republic of the Congo, he excited.
Don't worry, I got I get for the whole kids there. Yeah,
it should be fine because remember that's where Trump's killing
everyone with the abola. Man, that's where he's murdering everyone
with the a bolt. That's that's the reporting from the

(23:44):
geniuses over at the friggin View or whatever. Trump's murdering
everyone with the ebola now because he cut the USAI
D How do you guys not know these things that
I know, very important information. If they hang out, I.

Speaker 2 (24:01):
Think, actually have some grab this audio here so this
thing will cooperate with me.

Speaker 1 (24:06):
Do you do you do? Pardon me? They had it
the other day and never got to it. Oh yeah,
here we go. Here's what be Goldberg guy proving how
smart she is.

Speaker 2 (24:18):
You know, it's really bothering me.

Speaker 1 (24:20):
You know what's that diabetas doing.

Speaker 2 (24:23):
All of this?

Speaker 5 (24:23):
People are dying all over the world.

Speaker 2 (24:26):
Correct.

Speaker 5 (24:26):
Oh yeah, this ebola thing is something with us a
idea also, that's what That's what.

Speaker 1 (24:33):
I'm talking about. Stupid.

Speaker 5 (24:36):
When I look at all of the stuff that's happening
around the world, I think to myself, what are you doing?

Speaker 1 (24:43):
You?

Speaker 5 (24:43):
This bounces back and bites you in the butt. When
people are ill and they're traveling and there's a possibility
of bringing it means people can bring it here too.

Speaker 2 (24:54):
It doesn't.

Speaker 6 (24:54):
Don't you want to?

Speaker 5 (24:56):
Like the scientists spuggling it well as preventative and I
just the the the les fair, the disregard for just
every just about everything, and everybody.

Speaker 1 (25:10):
Shut These these cackling hens were part of the apparatus
that basically the last the last time the thing that
they're warning against actually did happen, I e. The COVID.
They were the they were the clapping seals to make
it as destructive to your life as possible. And and
why here's the thing I don't hear anyone talking about.

(25:31):
This is the thing, by the way, you can check
check by work on this. So they have like nearly
three hundred cases of a bull in the congo and
they have a problem. Did you know what happens when
somebody gets a bull in the congo? I know you're thinking.
They just show up at one of those you know,
African looking little hospitals right where they got the twenty
little you know, a little little, small, tiny thing, and

(25:53):
then they got like twenty of the little beds there
and they're just trying to treat people. And and they do,
and people do go to those and then and then
sometimes they get admitted to the hospital because they have
friggin a bola. And when they're in the hospital trying
to not have ebola anymore or not spready bola, they're
absolutely backcrap crazy insane relatives put together a team where

(26:14):
they physically go to this not every time, but it's
a lot of times. They go to the hospital and
they will, using weapons, threaten the hospital staff members so
that they can quote unquote rescue their family member who
they think is being kidnapped because they're in the hospital
because they have the ebola, and then they will take

(26:34):
their relative dying from the ebola home or elsewhere not
in the hospital, and then expose that person to a
bunch of other people. It's a thing that keeps happening
and never really makes it in the news stories. Why
you ask, because witchcraft or something. I don't know. I'm
pretty sure it has something to do with witchcraft, though

(26:57):
that sounds like that might be a problem. Stop having
a bowl of people rescued by ten members of their
family who then get ebola, by the way, and then
give it to other people because they think witches or something.
I'm not even fully plugged into.

Speaker 2 (27:12):
What the reasoning is.

Speaker 1 (27:13):
But they physically attack staff members of the hospital. They
have to, they have to have guards where they keep
the bolt people to keep their dumb ass relatives from
come and quote unquote rescuing them. Meanwhile, these knuckleheads are like,
what's the worst thing you got, I'll bring it back

(27:34):
with me to Hamilton, Montana so I can give it
some college kid from the University of Montana up in Missoula,
so you can take it on his spring break and
everybody can get this absolute lunacy. Yes, I mean that
kind of mood this morning, six forty eight. Hang on,
and you know when Rubio goes in there, considering he's

(27:55):
talking to like the Foreign Affairs Committee, Generally those are
supposed to be some of the more serious ones, you know,
because at the end of the day, this is about
quote unquote oversight. That's what these are for. And and
and it's turned into just the like yelling at each
other over shoes and stuff, the whole thing. Rubio, what
kind of shoes he's wearing. It's it's just the weirdest,

(28:17):
most immature stuff. I will say though. The exchange between
Scott Besson and Ron Wyden, who and let me ask
this real quick, is Ron Wyden that corpse already ross
you were dubbing it in You looked at this dude.
Is he already dead and he's just decomposing in front
of us.

Speaker 2 (28:36):
I mean, it's a good it's a good possibility.

Speaker 1 (28:39):
He looks like he's already dead, right, he looks like
if a zombie came back. But like right away, that's
what that's what's going on. Like, I don't know what's wrong.
I'm concerned about him. So anyway, he decided, all right,
I'm gonna I'm gonna get Scott Bessen. And the problem
is is this guy and his corrupt kid are so
tied up in the Epstein thing. He would serve him

(29:02):
just to shut his face hole, but he can't help himself.
And good on Scott Besston, who again, I like Scott Besson.
I don't know why anyone picks a fight with this dude,
because he's just gonna tort you and then you get
the most satisfying exchange.

Speaker 2 (29:18):
Be clear here, already is interested.

Speaker 1 (29:22):
His nose just fell off. His nose just fell off.
And now he looks like Ghoul from the show.

Speaker 2 (29:31):
Is that the Is that his name?

Speaker 5 (29:32):
Ghoul?

Speaker 1 (29:32):
Right, It's call him Ghoule the show. He looks like Google.
That's Google all right? Anyway, I'm sorry Google, Go ahead,
be clear here.

Speaker 6 (29:41):
Yeah, nobody is interested in the ramblings of a capo
in the most corrupt regime in American history.

Speaker 2 (29:49):
Mob reference fact about this deal. That's what we're here for.

Speaker 3 (29:53):
Thank you.

Speaker 1 (29:54):
Your face is peeling off. Sir, well, thank you, and
I will ask my questions first.

Speaker 6 (29:59):
Today.

Speaker 7 (30:00):
We would like to hear what Adam Widen and Jeffrey
Epstein talked about. Your son's largest investment position was Rick's Cabaret.
So did your son and Jeffrey Epstein talk about pole
dancing as he begged him for money using your limited credibility?

Speaker 6 (30:18):
Yes?

Speaker 2 (30:19):
Yes, then off just dumbe ah now was just a skull?

Speaker 1 (30:26):
All right? Yeah? So dude, if your own kid was
sitting at the old Rick's Cabaret with Jepstein a bunch
of times, begging him for money or just generally, you know,
checking out the dancers, what do you? What do you?
What are you doing asking about it? It's not going
to go well for you?

Speaker 6 (30:46):
All right?

Speaker 2 (30:46):
Let me grab a call here, Mark, what's up?

Speaker 6 (30:51):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (30:51):
I got a good idea.

Speaker 6 (30:53):
Hunter Biden was talking all that smack a couple of
months ago.

Speaker 8 (30:57):
Let's get your interview.

Speaker 1 (31:01):
Sure, I'm telling you believing the leaving a cage fighting
uh set up right there on the White House lawn
has tons of uses, Sir. I think they can by president.

Speaker 5 (31:19):
Now.

Speaker 1 (31:19):
I think bigger, sir. I think when you have an incoming,
you know that day when the incoming president has to
go meet with the outgoing president, it's always really interesting
to watch how it goes. They should have to fight
each other on that day. And the Vice president. Yes,
I want to get my taxpayers money's worth of this.
That's all I'm saying, Mark, I appreciate the call this morning.

(31:42):
I got lots of great ideas we can implement immediately.
So here's the here's the head well, here's.

Speaker 2 (31:48):
Kind of the headlines. So I'm going to keep a
little from you.

Speaker 1 (31:51):
Uh, the revolutionary war villain who's being rehabilitated just in
time for America's two hundred and fiftieth Oh lord, this
should be good. What is it?

Speaker 2 (32:02):
So what you have here is you have.

Speaker 1 (32:04):
A bunch of academics who want to use the opportunity
of the two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of America to
defend somebody who was greatly villainized during that time. And

(32:25):
you know was it was said that they were mad
right like the in the in the crazy sense and
and other things that were out there. But in reality,
it was somebody who inherited a piece of property didn't
know what to do with it. And of course, you
know what is it they say truth is the first
victim of history. Ross If you had to guess who

(32:47):
is the evil person from the Revolutionary War that now
academics the universities want to basically help clean up his
his image so we don't hate on him that much.
Who's the Who's the bad guy? Do you think if
you had to guess, it's Benedict Arnold?

Speaker 2 (33:07):
No?

Speaker 1 (33:07):
No, not not Benedict Arnold. Think in fact, give me
my button bar here real quick? Thank you think bigger?
Think bigger than BENEDICTA.

Speaker 2 (33:15):
King George, King George. Yes, you nailed it.

Speaker 1 (33:18):
Yeah, So apparently King George is not a bad guy
and we're just we.

Speaker 2 (33:23):
He he he.

Speaker 1 (33:24):
Was slandered and it's he It's not that he wanted
to make everything miserable for the colonists here to the
point where they had to break away and start the
most awesome thing ever. Uh, it was you know they
that was just propaganda. And he wasn't a bad guy.
He just was this disinterested guy because he had so
many holdings that he inherited. Do we really is this

(33:48):
what we need to do at the onset of the
two hundred and fiftieth anniversary? We need to have a
bunch of college and and I know, I'm sorry, I
know why you're doing this, And and sure are there
things that are you know that people believe to be true,
that a little nuance is very interesting to learn about. Yes,

(34:09):
I just don't trust your motivation because at the end
of the day, he was a bad enough guy that
he was willing to kill his subjects to maintain his
little chunk of property. And it didn't know, it didn't
matter how many lou did to poor mel Gibson's family

(34:32):
like this guy didn't care. So I'm sorry that history
hasn't been kind to him. But let me point this out. Arguably,
the loss of the American colonies was the beginning of
the end for the British Empire. And I know there
was a lot going on there, but holy hell, look
at him. Now, look at the British people. Now do

(34:54):
you know? Do you know what the Mayor of London
just decided the greatest threat to the British people is,
so he's putting to to gather a full court press
to combat it. Just reading this story this morning, This
is meyr Sadik Khan, who has decided that he will
launch a campaign throughout schools and the police and various

(35:16):
public entities to push back on the greatest threat to
the British population. And no, it's not a crazy seakh
dude with a knife, it's not other crazy people, it's
not immigration, it's none of those things. The greatest threat
to the British population right now from the empire that
the sun used to never set on until we kicked

(35:39):
a mud hole in there behind one day and now
it sets on them all day and twice on Sunday.
This is the manosphere that's the greatest threat in the UK,
not the fact that they're arresting what tens of thousands
of people annually for Facebook posts. It's the manosphere that

(36:00):
that they're targeting because it targets the most vulnerable targets,
young people online offering advice and influencers who are not
just unhelpful, but they are also harmful, the mean old Manisphere,
which to some part is you know, really a lot
of criticism of them too on a lot of issues,

(36:22):
so they don't like that the manosphere is targeting young
people online every day. This is how London is fighting
back the advice manosphere influencer offers isn't just unhelpful, it's
actively harmful. Today, I'm launching a new campaign to encourage
boys and young men to ignore the noise and find

(36:42):
their own voice. You mean, like the guy who is
ignoring people and just walking his butt back from the
pub back to his college where he goes, and then
he gets stabbed six times. And then when your police
show up and he's like, I've been stabbed and I'm
gonna die, they say to him on tape, I don't
think it's that bad, mate, which, as you know, is

(37:03):
a great way to treat stab wounds, to tell you
just I know you think you're stabbed, but you're not stabbed. Earlier,
you're not stabbed. You racist, I would argue, that's a
bigger problem. You've literally recreated the whole thing you said
you were fighting against, and that's a society where the
racial demographic where one is treated much lesser than the other.

(37:28):
Good job you played yourself at home will support more
fathers to be more positive role models by providing expert training.

Speaker 2 (37:38):
What are you talking about at school?

Speaker 1 (37:43):
Will deliver targeted mentoring sessions to thousands of vulnerable boys,
giving them the tools they need to talk about resilience
and relationships without utilizing the manosphere. Well, also infiltrate with
a new network footballing mentors. Oh great, So every when
they want to go play that sport that they like

(38:04):
the most of us don't like, but they like it,
so that's good for them. You're gonna have some person
there lecturing them about man oscar stuff. How would you
just let him kick the ball around have fun? Just insufferable,
absolutely insufferable. You want to continue to whissify Western men,
good for you. Just say it. Just own it.

Speaker 2 (38:26):
Man.

Speaker 1 (38:27):
It's not to say there's not toxic stuff out there.
There clearly is. You know, you tune a ton on
the tape. Boys, you're not getting the greatest advice on
a lot of things. But also, like people instinctively know that.
And yes, there's there's gonna be young folks who see
and emulate this stuff, like that dude who's named after
the bone, the clavicle or whatever his name is.

Speaker 2 (38:50):
I've got it.

Speaker 1 (38:52):
But this isn't the greatest threat to what's going on there.
And I'm sorry we're not doing we're not doing a
little pr cleanup on uh, I'm king George, Okay, what
if he wasn't mad. Don't care I tell you what
he's not good at winning revolutionary wars in the Americas.
Dude zero and two, just take the els. Shut up

(39:20):
speaking of things that were overseas that don't need to
be anymore good on, even if they're not going to
tell you why they did it. I am so glad
that they have decided not to go forward with NC
State having to open their season in freakin' Brazil. We're
so sick of this side, the fact that college football
was going to get in on this stupidity, because again,

(39:42):
it's all about greed man, all about greed. NC State
Virginia home opener that was set to be in Brazil
is now back in Charlottesville because it's technically it's a
Virginia home.

Speaker 2 (39:56):
Where it should be.

Speaker 1 (39:59):
NC State football won't be opening their season in Brazil
after all. NC State in Virginia. We're scheduled to open
the twenty twenty six season with an ACC Conference game
in Rio Dejanaro that was to be played August twenty ninth,
but NC State has announced that the game will now
be played in Charlottesville, where it was previously scheduled. NC

(40:19):
State says the change came after quote extensive review with
operational partners and international stakeholders. I think that's code for
people that want to buy your dumb tickets and go
to Brazil to go watch a football game. No matter
how much they love NC State, they want to watch
it here. And I know it's not here here in
the sense that it's you know at you know, at

(40:41):
the actual wolf Pack stadium. But people, it's a lot
easier to go to Charlottesville than it is Rio Dejanio.
And and and for what purpose? Again, what purpose? It
sounds like they were working with this. There's a company
called Athletic Advantage, which I guess handles the relocation of

(41:03):
these games. I'm not super clear on their business model,
but clearly there was some financial incentive that they partnered
with NC State because there's a penalty for this by
not doing it. I think they have to pay NC
State like a million bucks or a million and a
half bucks. The league and the teams working with ESPN

(41:25):
and nc double a blah blah blah.

Speaker 2 (41:28):
The matchups, branded.

Speaker 1 (41:29):
Is College Football BRAZILU were originally set for Milton Santos
Stadium in Rio de Janeiro.

Speaker 2 (41:36):
It would have been the.

Speaker 1 (41:37):
First ever actual Bowls Series game ever played in South America. Yeah,
there's a reason for that. People don't want to go
to South America to watch college football, college foot even
more so than the pros. College football is such Homer
Homer stuff, dude, and good on it, and that's fine
and that's great. And going to NC watching UNC State

(42:00):
of something I've done for years and years and I
can't tell you the number of times. Right got a
good tailgate group there, paid the money for the season
tickets even though I didn't go to NC State. There's
no like, I'm not pretending to be that. I just
like the tailgate in the atmosphere and the people. You
don't have to go to Rio de jan Aio. Plus
some of the people you see wandering around the tailgate

(42:21):
lot before the game because they've been drinking for seven hours.
You don't want them wandering around in Brazil get eaten
by friggin piranhas or murdered or mugged or something. Man,
they are out of it. How you get that drunk
by eleven thirty in the morning, God bless you, because
I can't keep up, but that you know that person's

(42:42):
gonna be eating by an anaconda. We don't need any
of that. Fans who bought tickets or travel packages or
the college Football Brazil website that you have to say
it that way, we'll receive refunds. Now, if you want
to bring miss Bumbum up from Brazil to Charlottville and
then Howard do like a little you know, halftime thing

(43:04):
with the fruit on her head and what that's a
different I understand that's uh, you know, technically somebody different.
But whatever, make it entertaining. You can still have the
Brazil theme. That's fine.

Speaker 2 (43:18):
Go do that you can.

Speaker 1 (43:19):
You can you can dress the place up like a favella.
Do whatever you want to do. Get to get some
of the extras from the Fast and Furious. Isn't that
Brazil where they're always screwing around down there with Jason Momoa.

Speaker 2 (43:31):
The worst character ever in the.

Speaker 1 (43:33):
Fast and Furious universe, I believe technically, let me take
a vote here, Ross Jason Momoa's character in the last
Fast movie the worst character in any of the Fast
series right now.

Speaker 2 (43:45):
You know, he was like a team who joker.

Speaker 1 (43:48):
It was the like it kept trying to be edgy,
but it was all just the dumbest crap out.

Speaker 2 (43:52):
Right, I didn't remind you of like it was like
a poverty even joker like he'd.

Speaker 1 (43:56):
Yeah, I don't even know what it was. I actually
felt bad for Momoa. Did he try to play or
some directors like, no, you have to sound like this.
Oh it's awful. It's even worse than the dude with
the way way, way too deep Texas accent. Who did
the one the Tokyo Drift movies or movie, I should say,

(44:18):
And I think they had him come back in one
of the other movies like that. Always that never sat
right with me, But the Jason Moa character was far worse.
Bring them all up.

Speaker 2 (44:29):
Do the thing.

Speaker 1 (44:30):
I think people didn't want to pay for your packages
because it sounds like this contract with this athletic advantage
was a revenue share thing. And so this athletic advantage,
I'm assuming, you know, to justify what they do. You know,
gets the cut there, hence the revenue share. But there's
a certain number of tickets they have to sell because
they're only getting a percentage of those. They get a

(44:51):
percentage from anyone who buys through the website, and then
there's some sponsorship commission stuff you know, probably attached. Because
there's always money changing hands when these games get set up.
They must have got a share of that. I don't
think people were buying tickets, and I think this company
realized that it's just going to be cheaper to pay
NC State the money instead of lose their butt on

(45:11):
this horrible, bad idea of playing college football anywhere else
but in America. That's it again, even worse at least
with the pro teams. I mean they lay bare the
financial part of it. I still have a problem with
it because they asked us to pay for their stadiums,

(45:33):
but college football this was far more of a bastardization.
So I for want am ecstatic. I'm sorry if somebody
lost their butt on this financially, but you should have
known better. So now you go up to Charlottesville and
root them on right there, and you know, still be
back for back for your family that night.

Speaker 2 (45:54):
If you want.

Speaker 1 (45:55):
I'm not sure what time the game starts, anyway, seven
to twenty hang on. One of our listeners they were
actually going to go to Brazil to watch this because
they said they were going to be able to couple
it as a vacation and go see Brazil and then
go watch football game. And that's great. And don't get
me wrong, I've traveled to watch NC State. I've been
to two of the Bulls, right, both of them were
down in Florida. I didn't have to go to Brazil, and

(46:17):
they didn't win either one of them. But you know,
I went down there, had fun. Doctor Kay went with
the doctor Kevin Campbell the last one and they played
Texas Tech in Jacksonville quite a few years ago and
they got destroyed. But yeah, man, but you need to
go to Brazil. And I'm sorry you didn't go to
here here, sir. If you want to be immersed in
Brazilian culture, let me save you ten hours of flying.

Speaker 2 (46:39):
Are you ready? Go to Disney?

Speaker 1 (46:44):
According to Ross, you will be immediately immersed in Brazilian
culture at some point. And I know what you're saying, like,
Disneyland is a very big place.

Speaker 2 (46:51):
Casey, how will I know where the Brazilians are?

Speaker 1 (46:54):
And Ross, if you have ears, you'll know where the
Brazilians are right when you're at Disney.

Speaker 4 (47:00):
Yeah, you'll be able to hear them. You'll be able
to see the flags, the marching, you'll know.

Speaker 1 (47:04):
Yeah, if you see fifteen year olds looking like they're
next up on stage. You might be in the right spot.
Now if you look down you're like, what's that noise?
And then you see like two hundred people coming your way.
It's not an invasion. You might be like, ah, we've
been invaded. And Disney is their first.

Speaker 2 (47:20):
You know, you're right, Yeah, that's where they're coming first. No,
it's just a tour group.

Speaker 1 (47:23):
So I guess in Florida they're getting more restrictive on
their customized plates because they have somebody put a list
together of plates that they have recently eighty six. So
I guess if you have one of these plates, they're like, ah,
you can't renew them now you have to get new ones.
Some of them might get where they're it's clearly like

(47:45):
they're swear words, but they're creatively spelled.

Speaker 2 (47:48):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (47:50):
Some of them are just funny. Somebody had a license
plate that just said murder and now they don't. Here's
what it just says assault. What's the problem there? Uh,
some of these are really funny. Actually, again, I can't
read a lot of them on the air. Well, I
can't read them how they're intended to be. I could

(48:11):
read them probably how they're spelled, but it's clear what
they're going for. Here's what Uh sorry, I shouldn't do that.
Somebody had a license plate that just said slut. I

(48:33):
can kind of respect that. Here's what I just said, horror,
although it's a it's a the O is uh zero,
that's amazing wide ho.

Speaker 2 (48:52):
Hey man, the big girls. She thinks he's funny.

Speaker 1 (48:56):
Letter let her. Let her do her thing.

Speaker 8 (48:57):
Man.

Speaker 1 (48:59):
They must have just not had any restrictions in Florida. Well,
I'd be mad as hell if I had the murder
plate because like, that's a conversation piece right there. Now
you don't have it. Very unfortunate. A South Carolina police

(49:20):
officer was arrested and fired for allegedly aiming his service
weapon at a fellow officer for microwaving fish. Now, by
the way, when I saw this written out on Twitter,
which is what made me click on this and then
put the story in the stack today, the way that
they wrote it is microwaving a fish in the station
the break room.

Speaker 2 (49:41):
Oh okay, I was thinking the same thing I think
you were thinking.

Speaker 1 (49:47):
Well, I wasn't thinking anything. I just assumed the guy
was making some leftover fish in the microwave. But the
way that they wrote it said microwaveing a fish.

Speaker 2 (49:54):
No.

Speaker 4 (49:55):
Like I read the headline, I was like, this dude
took a fish, like a live fish and put it
in the microwave.

Speaker 2 (50:00):
Yeah, so that's not what happened.

Speaker 1 (50:03):
No, this guy had like leftover tilapi or oh okay.

Speaker 4 (50:06):
Well that seems kind of extreme different. Yeah, that's a
little different.

Speaker 7 (50:10):
Wait.

Speaker 1 (50:10):
Wait, so you thought this guy I thought it jerked
the trout out of the water.

Speaker 2 (50:15):
I no, no, I read the headline. It was very busy.

Speaker 4 (50:19):
Yes, so I assumed by the headline because they wrote
a bad headline that the dude was like walking around
the precinct whatever.

Speaker 2 (50:26):
And you know, like a goldfish in a bag.

Speaker 4 (50:28):
Yeah, And somebody had a goldfish on his desk and
he was like, yeah, I'm an evil bastard. I'm gonna
pick it up. I'm going to put it in the microwave.
And the other guy was like, how dare you? Hey,
you're being detained and pulled out his gun man.

Speaker 1 (50:42):
Let me guess you wanted him taste, right, Yes, Ross
wants everybody taste even the fish. No, no, no, no, no, no,
this is in myrtle Beach, So actually, you know it's
in Myrtle Beach. Any crazier things have happened, No, Michael DEBIASI.

Speaker 2 (50:58):
I'm sure it's not spelled, but sounds like it.

Speaker 1 (51:02):
We'll just go DBAs, a detective with the Myrtle Beach
Police Department, was here with the charge of point and
he's a detective too.

Speaker 3 (51:10):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (51:10):
I was here with the charge of pointing and presenting
a firearm at a person over the June second incident.
The alleged incident involved Dbios removing his department issued firearm
from its holster while in the pd briefing room and
pointing it at another officer. It was in a place

(51:30):
on administrative leave immediately following the incident. I'm trying to
find anything in here to make sure that it was
left over fish and not Ross's what Ross was thinking,
which again I was also thinking because they wrote a
bad headline. They made it sound like somebody's pet fish
was getting nooked, but that's not what it was. It
was just lunch. He was just reheating some lunch. It's

(51:52):
not in this story, but it was in one of
the other stories. So I guess maybe if you also
got duped by the bad headline. It's not as horrific
as you think. I wouldn't know what kind of fish though,
because not all fish, when reheated, is created equal, right,
Some is much more. You know, salmon's got a little

(52:13):
more of a smell to it versus like fish sticks, right,
that would be less less offensive.

Speaker 2 (52:20):
So I don't know. Maybe it's the cuddlefish from the
South Park episode.

Speaker 1 (52:26):
We don't know, but yeah, you can't pull your gun
as much as you'd want to. And I know there's
some people go on casey man, if somebody's reheating fish
or curry or you know, something that has a very
very strong smell in the breakroom microwave, that is a
faux pas.

Speaker 2 (52:43):
You cannot do that, which I would.

Speaker 1 (52:47):
Agree from just from a standpoint if it's not very
nice to those around you. But you also you can't
point a gun at them when they do. Maybe put
a sign up first, I don't know, politely asking hey,
can you not re heat your smelly leftovers in this
refrigerator or in this microwave and keep it in the
refrigerators making everything else smell. The worst is when somebody

(53:10):
has smelly food and then for whatever reason, they don't
eat it, and then it just sits in there for
lake a week.

Speaker 2 (53:17):
But now this guy was trying to eat it.

Speaker 1 (53:19):
Man. All right, look, I'm talking on perusing this other
story to see if we know what the fish dish was. Oh,
it was a curry fish dish. Well, that's a two
striker right there, that's a two striker. Now you got
the fish, You get a strong smell of the curry,
which I like curry, don't get me wrong, but you

(53:40):
definitely got to be in the mood for it. Everything
smells like curry, green curry, yellow curry. Now I want
some Indian food today. That will probably happen. All right
eight eight eight nine three four seven eight seven four.

(54:02):
Let's see here, man, I saw this story.

Speaker 2 (54:05):
What are we doing?

Speaker 1 (54:09):
Disneyland princesses detail vile sexual harassment and the golden rule
they can't break even when they're in danger. Man, there's
been a lot of Disney hit pieces here's Lately, former
Disney princesses are speaking out claiming they were expected to
stay in character no matter what guests attempted to do
to them. Known as character integrity, it is considered one

(54:30):
of the most important rules of the job. Let me
ask who's going to Disneyland to try to rape Disney
princesses or sexually harassed or whatever level it is. Who's
kink is that? Who's sitting there? And he's like, you
know what I need? I need some snow white or
some aerial or whatever. And there are only two spots

(54:52):
I can go because I don't know if the cheap
ones that you hire for your kid's birthday party probably
are probably we get suit by Disney over copyright. I
don't know if those count. Character integrity is number one.
You're not going to break a character if somebody tries
to break you, said former disney World performer Hunter Hague.

(55:14):
For former princesses, the rule allegedly left them feeling trapped.
In one instance, during a disturbing encounter at Disneyland. This
is in Anaheim back in February, Alyssa Clinsing, who was
twenty at the time and portraying Elsa. That's the Frozen chick, right, Elsa?
I think that's a frozen chick. Sorry, I'm not a

(55:35):
clearinghouse for kids movies, but I do know some stuff
was started as a routine meet and greet turned into
something far darker. The guest basically took a hug from me,
then sniffed me up from my shoulder all the way
to my ear. Was it the former president?

Speaker 3 (55:55):
Wait?

Speaker 1 (55:55):
Hold on? He hugged me and then sniffed me from
my shoulder all all the way up to my ear,
with his lips pressed on my skin, and whispered into
my ear that he had dirty dreams about me. Now
did he have him about you? Or did he have
him about Elsa? I'm not picking on this woman. This
is awful, and frankly, I have a way to solve

(56:18):
this year in just a moment that I think we'll
bring joy to everybody.

Speaker 2 (56:22):
But like, that's this dude's thing. That's like search all
of his hard drives.

Speaker 1 (56:28):
Man, get into it. So here's what I here's what
I would like to offer. I think, Ross, you tell
me what you think this idea. I think that any
of the cast of characters, especially the Disneys princesses, should
be able to carry a taser.

Speaker 2 (56:41):
Yeah, I no, confirmed yes? Right?

Speaker 1 (56:44):
And and and what you're thinking, You're like, well, then
the kids are gonna see Elsa tasing some perv. And
I'm like, good, isn't Elsa's supposed to be a strong,
you know, independent woman. Isn't that the whole premise of
the whole Frozen thing, right, Although she's got that weird
little snowman thing following her around. But whatever, Yeah, not

(57:04):
guns like this is this is a family thing. Let
them have a taser. Oh, I don't know my three
year old could stand watching Elsa tase some perv. I
think they'll get over it. You can say it's part
of the storyline or whatever, and then they'll argue like, ah,
they don't have tasers in the Frozen waist slant. I'm like, really,

(57:25):
they have magic, so I'm supposed to believe they can
have a magic that turns everything into a tunder or
whatever the premise of that is.

Speaker 2 (57:31):
But they don't have a taser.

Speaker 1 (57:34):
No, they got a mirror. They got a mirror that
tries to murder people. You can have a taser, dude.
I would go to Disney if I knew that I
could watch people dressed as Disney characters tasing perverts. What
is that, right, Simon, I'll stand in the line all
day for that. People move or get that out of here.

(57:56):
Give me the Disney princesses. Tasing perverts. So I'm sorry
I happened to this woman. That's why I have a solution,
raised agent. You'd go to Disney to watch Disney Princess's
teasing perverts to grow them. Yeah you would.

Speaker 9 (58:10):
Yeah, I'll be there in July, so we'll see how
it goes.

Speaker 1 (58:13):
Oh you're going in July. Yeah, Ross, I plan a
trip to the Disney Yeah. Oh nice. Yeah he's taking
that taking a new little one there. But do they
get it now if you're one and you can't do anything?

Speaker 2 (58:24):
No, So I looked into it. They get in for free.

Speaker 1 (58:27):
They get in for free.

Speaker 4 (58:28):
Yeah, okay, let's be honest. The one year old isn't
going to know what the hell's going on. We'll have
no memory. So it's more for Lincoln.

Speaker 1 (58:33):
You know, it's like stroller time.

Speaker 2 (58:35):
Here we go.

Speaker 1 (58:35):
Yeah, that's brave one year old.

Speaker 2 (58:39):
Yeah, I'm a brave person, right, I.

Speaker 9 (58:41):
Guess so, because I can remember some horror stories from
when my little ones were younger.

Speaker 1 (58:46):
So it's still got to be better to have it
to get up all week early and come in and
do the radio show.

Speaker 9 (58:51):
Well, no, you got to get a burly anyway, you
got a rope drop.

Speaker 4 (58:54):
Well, I could tell you something that was really weird.
So the first time we went there was on like
a radio press thing. We went down there, we were
invited by you had the passes, Yeah, we had the
god passes, so we could just get through her with
the media passes. But we took Lincoln down. He was too,
but that was before we had his autism diagnosis. And
I don't know if you know this, Disney can be
very busy, and there were a few episodes where it

(59:15):
was not good. But like he's mellowed out. So we're
really looking forward to.

Speaker 9 (59:19):
It, right, Well, good, yeah, good, Yeah, it's crowd in
July and yeah, but we have a plan. My wife's
the ultimate Disney planner.

Speaker 4 (59:30):
So the traffic is does your wife look at the
traffic thing online where it says like how busy the
park is gonna be?

Speaker 9 (59:37):
Yep, yeah, and constantly changing like ride times and now
you have to pay for the fast It's they charge
you for everything.

Speaker 1 (59:43):
Now that's crazy. But anyway, okay, Well, I was just
reading a story about how Disney princesses were saying that
perverts were like one guy hugged on Elsa and then
began to sniff her from her neck up to her ear,
saying quote, I have fantasies about you.

Speaker 2 (59:58):
I have dirty dreams about you. Record.

Speaker 1 (01:00:00):
Look, they should be wanting to taze these guys. They
should be able to tasee that guy. I agreed. Yeah,
I'm sorry Joe Biden sniffing on you. But no, we're
not doing this. I think it was a long termother
time might be unconfirming. What's going on in the confirmation side. Weatherwise,
it's not a lot, so don't need a lot of time.
Yesterday did have a record low sent Raleigh of forty eight.

(01:00:23):
If by one we broke the record. Now temperatures are
mid upper fifties to near sixty and today will go
nearer just above eighty load to mid fifties. Tonight, mid
eighties Tomorrow, Saturday and Sunday.

Speaker 9 (01:00:34):
Uh probably gonna get in the upper eighties, low nineties
for the Triad and probably the mid nineties for the Triangle.
And there's even a shot we get to the upper
nineties for me. That starts at ninety seven. So when
Raleigh on Sunday is a chance we could get ninety
seven or hotter. So hot a couple of days coming up,
I think the ninety degree heat if we don't get
there today, certainly by tomorrow and this upcoming weekend with

(01:00:56):
plenty of heat and plenty of sunshine.

Speaker 1 (01:00:58):
Okay, all right, you sure I do appreciate it. Ross
I saw an even more horrific part of this story
where they actually list which Disney princesses have had the
most encounters that they've had to file complaints over. It's Elsa,
Rapunzel and Bell. Why would those three be the ones
that perverts are? Is it maybe just is there just
more of those at the park?

Speaker 2 (01:01:19):
Is there?

Speaker 1 (01:01:19):
I'm assuming Elsa is very very popular right when we
were there.

Speaker 2 (01:01:23):
I mean I think the last time we went was
twenty eighteen. Like all the little girls were Elsa.

Speaker 1 (01:01:28):
All the little girls were Elsa, okay, and Rapunzel, like
they have that's the whole thing there, right, so like
they have her cat, they have the whole Rapunzel castle thing, right.

Speaker 2 (01:01:38):
Yeah, but he's like super far away, oh okay, and
then Bell.

Speaker 1 (01:01:43):
Was that Bell was Bell's beauty and the beast, right yeah, okay, see,
look I know stuff. Oh you know what the things
we're gonna have to talk to him about is the
what's going on over a sixty minutes because I don't
know if you know this Scott Pelley, right, we told
you like they fired him, and you had this whole

(01:02:03):
setup and meeting and where they did where he openly
attacked the Nick Bilton, who's the new executive producer of
sixty Minutes, and wouldn't even like he gave him all
these chances to sit down and talk with him, and
he's just decided that no, he's not going to do
any of that, and he's gonna scream that some sort
of cover up. Shockingly, he of course put out a

(01:02:26):
bunch of mining statements yesterday. Let's see, he had all
sorts of stuff he was claiming here, Um, you read
just some.

Speaker 2 (01:02:35):
I'm not going to read the entirety of this.

Speaker 1 (01:02:37):
In fact, it was so long that he had to
like write it all down and then screenshot all of it.
But the full statement says, let's see, for my part,
new management has instructed me to inject falsehoods and bias
into politically sensitive stories. I've been told to include assertions
that're unverified, as opposed to the normal assertions that are

(01:02:58):
unverified that you tend to insert. See again, here's the
problem do I think that people tried to coach him
on what he was going to do. I sure do,
and I think that you can notice it when you
watch CBS's coverage. CBS is one of the few mainstream
outlets that is dedicating a significant amount of coverage to

(01:03:18):
the insane fraud stories that are out there. A lot
of the other ones just aren't even touching it. At
least CBS is covering it. This is bus of that
guy in California has stole one hundred and seventy million
dollars and they had to seize airplane hangars that he
needed to store all of his g wagons and Mickey
Mantle Rookie cards and lambows and all the rest of

(01:03:40):
this stuff. He stole that like a year and a half.
CBS at least is covering that stuff. So Scott Pelly's
big mat over that. What was he's also mad about.
He doesn't say who it is, but I know who
he's referencing here. He's saying that management let's see here

(01:04:01):
forced oh yeah, letting letting politicians pick their interviewers. So
what he's referencing is the net and yacht that Leslie Stall.
Everyone assumed Leslie Stall was going to do it, and
instead they had Major Garrett do it. And they're saying
that net Yahoo actually asked for Major Garrett versus Leslie Stall.

(01:04:22):
Now in net Yahoos, I'm gonna say this defense, I
really don't care but net yah whose point was and
then he pointed to like two or three things were
Leslie Stall clearly clearly is not a fan of Israel.

Speaker 4 (01:04:35):
So you know, and whether that's enough to make a
decision or not. And you want to know what is
the worth of my used car?

Speaker 1 (01:04:41):
Well?

Speaker 4 (01:04:41):
Can I get for it? Get a bid that's right
on the money with America's best car buyer. That's give
me the vin dot com new car, used car, truck, exotic,
your daily driver, minivan, it really doesn't matter. Just go
there putting your VIN or license plate numbers so you
don't distress about having the VIN upload some photos and
that's it. They're going to give you an offer and
no time at all. And if they can't be karmaxs
Kravana's offer, they're going to give you a hundred bucks.

Speaker 3 (01:05:02):
Left your car.

Speaker 2 (01:05:05):
It's so easy, you can do it.

Speaker 9 (01:05:09):
Bryan Raleigh and the team at Raley Wealth Solutions know
the importance of building income in retirement. You don't get
to retire with a seven figure nest egg by accident, right,
It's discipline.

Speaker 1 (01:05:20):
And he wasn't with us last week because he had
very important spycraft stuff to work on. But he's back now.
It's mister Steven Kent joining us. How you doing, Steven Hey,
Good morning, Casey. Did you capture the mcguffin and jail
the bad guys or did you get it all? All
your spy stuff done?

Speaker 8 (01:05:38):
Yep, in the United States is safe as we are
safe once again.

Speaker 2 (01:05:42):
That is good, all right, glad to hear it.

Speaker 1 (01:05:45):
So we were just actually chatting about because Scott Pelly
did put he put a statement out and basically his
statement is Barry Weiss is evil. Executive producer Hilton's evil.
They came in here to destroy sixty Minutes. That's their goal.
That's what they're looking to do, and I would not
be a part of that. But he is the latest

(01:06:05):
and probably arguably the highest profile of individuals formally associated
with sixty Minutes who are not there. I don't know
if you had a chance to read what happened in
that meeting with Pelly where he basically decided he was
going to grandstand and say things that I can't even
fathom saying to my boss, even when my boss is
clearly wrong, not that he would ever be, but like ever,

(01:06:27):
never is this surprising to you? Is sixty Minutes one
of those holdovers that just benefits from the fact that
people are too drunk to turn it off after the
football's done, but before the night game starts.

Speaker 2 (01:06:40):
I mean, what are your thoughts on this? Because it
is a legacy program.

Speaker 8 (01:06:44):
It is a legacy program, and what they'll tell you
is at the top rated program for all of news
for this format, and I do think that it benefits
from its Sunday slot and it's legacy, you know, as
a you know, a sort of a long form news
broadcast that goes in depth. But if you just hold
on to the receipts for five minutes from sixty Minutes History,

(01:07:08):
you'll see that pretty much everything that they do, every
error that they make, every time they mess up a story,
it is always in favor of Democrats. Scott Paley is
a guy who massaged Joe Biden through his interviews when
dementia was starting to rear its head, and he pretty
much took the position in the sixty Minutes tee up

(01:07:29):
to the interview that Joe Biden was tired and his
stutter just comes back when he's tired, and sixty Minutes
also infamously cut up the Kamala Harris interview to try
and make her sound articulate and not like a buffoon.
Sixty Minutes also accused Ron DeSantis of being in league
with Publics because Public's owners, the grocery store known in

(01:07:53):
the East Eastern Seaboard as their owners, are Republican owners,
and so they accuse in sixty Minutes documentary Ronda Santis
of funneling all of the COVID vaccines through public site.

Speaker 1 (01:08:06):
Yeah let's pause, Yeah, let's pause here, because this is
one of those scandals that I think some people it passed.
It passed so quickly by. So what Ron de Santis
was attempting to do was at a time when there
was limited coving COVID vaccines, right, so this was still
we're going to prioritize for the old people, and of
course Florida a hotbed of old people. They needed to

(01:08:29):
figure out an easy delivery method for it, and they
looked at a bunch of different things, and they went,
Where's what's the thing that everybody has near them in
the state of Florida. Oh, my gosh, it's the Publix,
and which, by the way, made all of the sense
in the world, all of the sense in the world,
and that was what they accused him of conspiring over yep.

Speaker 8 (01:08:52):
But if you if their owners are Republican donors, then
that must be some kind of corruption scandal. I mean,
sixty minutes is a joke, and people have known it
for a long time. I think folks will forget that
Dan Rather was CBS as well. So this was a
program to sort of right for gutting. And what I
do think Scott Pelly was doing here is he announced

(01:09:14):
a substack venture within twenty four hours and it already
had branding put together, which means that he was planning
to do this. And the best way to go out
when you're in the legacy media and your time has
come to an end and you've finally been held accountable
for being part of poor work is to go down
like a martyr and to sort of get the media

(01:09:36):
puff tour of being a resistance figure against the rise
of Trump techno fascism in the media at paramount. So
this was part of his plan to get himself a
golden parachute of sympathy from everyone in the liberal media
and people who still watch those programs.

Speaker 1 (01:09:55):
You run the risk of becoming Terry Moran though for
those of you, Moran was the ABC News reporter. It
was by the book, down the middle everything. Who is
now an absolutely foaming at the mouth rabid moonbed on
social media like he's showing you who he was. Do
you think that that's what we get from this guy?

Speaker 8 (01:10:18):
No, I don't think necessarily, you know, I know, with
like Scott Pelly's sort of freak out that he had
in the meeting. Again, it just it was very calculated.
This was sort of a resistant style speech that he
intended to give so that he would get fired. It's
not the first time we've seen this kind of thing
with media figures. They want to be fired and so

(01:10:41):
they do it in the ways as grandiose as possible.

Speaker 1 (01:10:44):
Well, he accomplished that, so we'll see how much energy
that they're willing to give here. We didn't get to
talk about this last week, but I find it very
interesting that if we had been here last week, I
would be pointing out that the Mandalorian was getting absolutely bodied.
Not I won, but two arguably low budget horror films

(01:11:04):
ten million. By the way, the Backroom thing, I'm super excited.
I want to see that so bad. Yeah, big actors
in there. That was ten million dollars to make, that
was destroying it. And then they had a seven hundred
and fifty thousand dollars movie that was also beating up
on the Mandalorian. We don't see another Star Wars for
fifteen years, right, movie wise, that would be wise.

Speaker 8 (01:11:26):
I wish the I wish Pope Leo would offer an
encyclical on how to guide the future of Star Wars.
I think we would all benefit from his wisdom on
this point. I'm just done with obsession and the back
rooms movies that we're looking here at movies produced directed
by young men in their early twenties who started these

(01:11:49):
series on YouTube. Both of these movies are the product
of viral YouTube videos. There's also another YouTube guy known
as Shahan Quirk on Twitter. He's called the Culturist, and
he is doing a documentary series with a major studio
now based on his viral YouTube video about how ugly

(01:12:12):
modern cities are and it just sort of says to me,
the zoomers are about to take over, and most of
what people look for in Hollywood as well as the
book publishing market, is success an audience in another social
media realm. So whether it be YouTube or TikTok, we're
testing the market for virality and then making movies based

(01:12:35):
on that. Star Wars is looking really, really dusty right now.
I know that that's not breaking news to you for
a lot of people in your audience, but it's just
not fresh. It stinks to high heaven. And what are
you going to say about Rod of the Hut in
that movie? What a ridiculous, ridiculous choice to have a
hut animated in Mandalorian and Grogu voiced by Jeremy White

(01:13:00):
speaking like a white boy from Ohio with no accent
and an English is the most cringey thing I have
ever seen in my life.

Speaker 1 (01:13:11):
People were mad because they didn't have a British accent
on the hut. I don't care if I don't think
that would have necessarily saved anything.

Speaker 8 (01:13:19):
He should have been speaking hatise though not galactic based.
It's just it's just sad.

Speaker 1 (01:13:24):
It's so nerdy.

Speaker 2 (01:13:25):
That is so nerdy right there.

Speaker 1 (01:13:27):
Uh, let's talk.

Speaker 2 (01:13:27):
Well.

Speaker 1 (01:13:28):
You know, so here's the thing I think that what
those two, those two movies that beat the Mandalorian Show
is also there's a lot of room for unique ideas.

Speaker 2 (01:13:39):
The back Rooms is his own unique.

Speaker 1 (01:13:40):
I followed this web series, so I'm a little like
pro probably more into it than a lot of.

Speaker 2 (01:13:45):
People because it was so good, it was so different.

Speaker 1 (01:13:49):
And it's freaky, freaky af as the kids say, uh,
and I would I would encourage people to go actually
watch the back Room series on YouTube. It's freaks right
there for you go check it out, maybe like hew
yourself up for the movie.

Speaker 2 (01:14:02):
Did you follow that as a series?

Speaker 3 (01:14:05):
No?

Speaker 6 (01:14:05):
I did not.

Speaker 8 (01:14:06):
I've I've checked it out now and I've just kind
of been taking a couple of peaks at the back
Room on YouTube, and you know, it's I don't really
understand the virality of these videos. I'm not sure what
the big appeal is. They are spooky, they're you know, cerebral,
and there's some scary moments, but you know, in a
video has sixteen million views, as some of these do

(01:14:29):
on YouTube, a lot of people sat down and watched
this thing from front to back, and I guess I
honestly don't get it.

Speaker 1 (01:14:35):
I think I think I think there's a thirst for
something that you're just not seeing out there. Bad news
for another IP. And of course, of course this is
the direction they're going to go. And that's Stargate, right,
going back to the day right. I don't know if
you guys like the Stargate, Stargate SG One, Stargate Atlantis,
Stargate movies, all the rest of it. So it's not

(01:14:56):
a new concept. They had been working on a show
for I guess last two years with Amazon. And these
are people who are part of the original Stargate stuff, right,
So these are O gears. And now we find out
that not only is the whole series on hold, but
and I'm gonna read this quote here, the studio quote

(01:15:16):
may revisit the IP with another showrunner, possibly someone who
does not have history with it and would give it
a fresh new perspective that sounds awful. Is that what
we're going to get is this, are these guys really
getting kicked to the curb because they were trying to
maintain cannon and stick to the stick to the material,

(01:15:37):
and now Amazon's going to screw this up. What do
you think.

Speaker 8 (01:15:41):
Yeah, so I will I will confess to being a
little bit ignorant on this topic. Stargate is not a
show that I know, I know deeply, but I know
that Jeff Bezos considers himself to be a big fan
of Stargate, and he played a pretty key role in
getting this project into the pipeline in the first place.
But you know, like a lot of scripts and early

(01:16:04):
pre production of a movie or series that get made,
it doesn't make it across the finish line. I'll remind
you that there was going to be some movie coming
from Star Wars called The Hunt for Ben's Solo or
something that you know, basically, Adam Driver, who played Kylo Renn,
had helped put together an entire script to do another
movie focused on Kylo ren They entered early production phases,

(01:16:28):
and you know, they scrapped it because they they just
didn't believe that it was going to be a success.
I don't think that we should believe necessarily that Amazon
was trying to spike the ball on a traditionalist view
of Stargate. I don't think they were trying to wreccon
it or make some sort of woke alternative. I just

(01:16:48):
think they didn't see they didn't see the dollar signs.

Speaker 1 (01:16:52):
Okay, all right, let's let's talk about a couple of
movies in the pipeline.

Speaker 2 (01:16:55):
Well, I'll let you start.

Speaker 1 (01:16:57):
So this movie Pressure, which by the way, strikes me
as a kind of movie that I really want to
see but when it comes out on streaming, which I
know is in great news for theaters, But I liked
I like these war movies. But basically it's about it's
about D Day, but it's more so about the lead
up to d Are you excited?

Speaker 8 (01:17:13):
Yeah, Oh, I've seen it once already and I intend
to go see it again here soon. So this movie
stars Brendan Fraser as Dwight D. Eisenhower and Andrew Scott
as Captain James Stagg, a Scottish meteorologist who was in
the favor of Winston Churchill. And as they're getting prepared

(01:17:35):
for Operation Overlord, which we know now as D Day,
the Allied invasion of mainland Europe, there were great concerns
that there was going to be another catastrophe similar to
Exercise Tiger, and they were getting prepared for Operation Overlord.
There were a lot of casualties incurred, actually in the
trainings for the invasion, and they didn't want to have

(01:17:58):
another mistake, and so they wanted to have a meteorologist
give a proper weather forecast to make sure it was
going to be clear skies, calm waters, that they weren't
going to have boys drowning on the beaches because of
ten foot waves, And so they brought in him and
another meteorologist, and the movie is about them fighting. One
meteorologist is getting one reading on the weather and Colonel

(01:18:22):
or Captain James Dagg he has a doomer perspective on it.
He thinks it's going to be a really bad day.
And so what they do is they fight over the
weather forecast. And D Day was originally scheduled for June fifth.
After this this saga endoors between the meteorologists, they do
move it to June sixth, and you know spoiler, it
does go well for them in the end.

Speaker 2 (01:18:44):
Oh does it?

Speaker 1 (01:18:44):
Does it work out? That's good? You're in the.

Speaker 2 (01:18:48):
Movie around fast. I love I love these movies about this.

Speaker 1 (01:18:52):
I think that Darkest Day really, the part where he's
putting the boat lift together, that's good stuff.

Speaker 2 (01:18:57):
But that's the nerd of me. You ever see the
movie Operation Mint.

Speaker 8 (01:19:01):
I've seen Operation Mints, me I don't remember too much
of it. But these are I mean, these are the
behind the scenes stories of some of the biggest battles
and operations that we know about. Like, it's pretty cool
to get a D Day movie where D Day is
sort of looming in the background and we're going to
see all the different you know, B and C list

(01:19:21):
characters who made it possible. Because we've heard about the
folks who did the diversion campaigns and the psyops to
try to confuse the Nazis ahead of D Day, But
I've never heard the story of the meteorologists who were very,
very uncertain about the weather, and it turns out, you know,
they were right. June fifth was a weather catastrophe, and

(01:19:45):
so if Dwight D. Eisenhower had his way and he
continued forward with the invasion, it could have been a
catastrophic defeat.

Speaker 1 (01:19:53):
By the way, if you guys don't know what Operation
Mints mean is it's a real operation.

Speaker 2 (01:19:56):
Basically, we took the British, took.

Speaker 1 (01:19:59):
Some some dude, some random guy I can remember if
he oweded or what had happened, right, They took his
body from the morgue. They gussied up all sorts of
like they call pocket litter, right, you know, So he's
got some paper, he's got like a letter from his
beloved whatever. They dress him up as raf pilot, dump
his body into the ocean off the coast of Spain

(01:20:20):
because Spain was neutral even though they were feeding intel
to the Nazis, and then he washes up with his
documents up there, and basically it indicates that the invasion
is going to go through where they were in made
Greece and Sardinia rather than Cicily. Yeah, and the Nazis bit,
And that's the whole You should watch the movie. It's

(01:20:40):
quite fascinating on the whole thing. And then lastly, the
other movie I'm kind of excited about, but then I
start seeing people comment on it, and I'm like, am
I gonna get rug pulled on this? And that's Disclosure Day?
I got about a minute. You got any interest in
this movie?

Speaker 6 (01:20:56):
Oh?

Speaker 8 (01:20:56):
I can't wait? Disclosure Day? Steven Spielberg. I don't know
much about this movie. I don't think anybody really does.
But just the ideas a government whistleblower is going to
spill the goods on what he knows about extraterrestrials, and
it's about the government's effort to then try to shut
him down before he spills the beams. I cannot wait

(01:21:17):
for this movie.

Speaker 2 (01:21:18):
Yeah, I was super excited.

Speaker 1 (01:21:20):
Then Ross said something and I was seeing something where
maybe it's not about aliens so much, it's there's some
other tale. And I'm like, come on, just give us
the Spielberg that we grew up on. Just give us
one of those. That's all we're asking for. But well,
we'll leave it there, Stephen, we'll talk next week. Appreciate
the time this morning.

Speaker 8 (01:21:35):
Okay, thank you, Casey.

Speaker 1 (01:21:37):
The pickleball court next to a main bayfront home. He
is driving one family to bring I said Portland. Excuse me,
I said Portland, Maine, not Portland, Oregon. He's driving one
family to the brink in Belfast, two hours south of Portland.
Family says a public pickleball court near built near their

(01:21:59):
dream home has tried their lives into a nightmare, with
the relentless noise driving them to the edge of mental
health crisis. Are these things that loud? The pickleball courts?
I know the pickleball is very popular. I understand that
and ross. You guys have pickleball courts up and wait
for you have to every town. You don't even know

(01:22:19):
what pickle ball is. It's like it's like old people tennis.
I don't even know how to describe. That's not fair,
but it's very, very popular. I remember we played pickleball
in Pe when I was a kid. Right, you've got
the you got like the wooden pad, the wooden paddles.
They're like oversized, like oversized versions of the paddles you'd have.
And as somebody who's a pick a ball enthusias is
probably gonna call and destroy me, I'm trying to remember

(01:22:40):
from childhood. I haven't played it since then. It's just
a slower version of tennis. And yeah there's some grunting
and stuff going on, but like, I don't know, I
just didn't realize it was that loud. But I have
seen I have seen multiple stories like this. Well, the

(01:23:00):
family once dismissed it as a manageable nuisance, it's now
snowballed into something far more serious, causing a homeowner in
severe anxiety, insomnia, and despair. Over Memorial Day weekend, things
reached a breaking point and became so severely distressed and
agitated from the constant and continuous pickleball noise that by

(01:23:23):
Sunday evening, I considered taking myself to the emergency room,
said the homeowner. My brain and my nervous system are
currently injured, and the toll on the children has been
equally painful. As the woman described your kids crying themselves
to sleep and said, the guilt has become unbearable. Hi,

(01:23:43):
I'm sorry, I just don't I'm sure there's noise associated
with this, but the fact that you almost had to
check yourself into a mental health hospital and your kids
are crying themselves to sleep. Kids don't give a crap
about noise. They're the ones making it, especially with a game. Now,

(01:24:04):
I think you got yourself a nice little waterfront home.
You're probably some big lib too, right, and it's just
the audacity of having to hear people around you is
just more than you can bear. The family purchased the
bayfront properties at Forever Home. Now they're weighing whether to leave.

Speaker 3 (01:24:24):
This.

Speaker 1 (01:24:25):
This is what we're arguing about now, is pickleball and
data centers. Man, But this is this is a little
much right here. In fact, some communities have even shut
down their outdoor pickle ball courts after similar noise complaints
from residents. All right, am I missing something here? For
when you pick a ball experts out there are you?

(01:24:46):
Are you required to scream during it? I've seen people
playing it from a distance on like a converted tennis court,
but I don't know. They look like people that were
older playing tennis. N't and I keep saying it's older
people doesn't have to be, but in the instance that
I've actually witnessed this, it was a bunch of older folks,

(01:25:06):
which I don't know. Looks like it looks like a
good game where you can still kind of play, play it,
stay active, but not risk blowing out all your l's,
the MCL, the ACL, although it looks like it could happen. Dude,
people get injured doing all sorts of stuff. I was
talking earlier about how the NC State football team doesn't
have to go to Brazil anymore and play their home

(01:25:28):
opener there, or I should say, the season opener there
wouldn't be their home opener because technically it was supposed
to be in Charlotte'sville, Virginia, but but they've just canceled that,
and now the football match that's going to be up here,
and I was joking about how they should have Miss
Bumbum come and do the halftime show so people don't
feel cheated they didn't go to Brazil. And then one
of our listeners sent me this story and I had

(01:25:49):
no idea this happened. Ross, did you see that Miss
Bumbum suffered a horrific training accident? Miss Yes, Miss Bumbum
suffered a horrific training accident. So Miss Bumbum is an
annual beauty contest that's more focused on your dairy air
down in Brazil?

Speaker 2 (01:26:07):
Am I saying it right?

Speaker 1 (01:26:08):
Brazil Brasil? However, however they say it in the Fast
of the Furious movies. But yeah, man, the struggle is real.
Brazilian influencer Carolea Chavez miss Bumbum, I guess the rainy

(01:26:29):
Miss bum Bum said that she suffered a horrific training
exercise after she cold burned her butt while attempting to
train for the carnival.

Speaker 2 (01:26:43):
Which is coming up. This has happened, you.

Speaker 1 (01:26:46):
Know, prior to Ash Wednesday and everything, so that's the
week of Carnival.

Speaker 2 (01:26:53):
Leading up to it.

Speaker 1 (01:26:54):
Yeah, the influencer said she suffered a nasty cold burn
on her bum bum after an at home cryotherapy session,
and ice bath went too long and went badly wrong. Man,
when you're training ross, you go to the gym, you
ever went too hard one day and you suffered yourself
a little injury. A little step back there. Maybe you're like,

(01:27:18):
I gotta take a few days off, went a little hard,
my muscles hurt. That ever happened, because I it's just
this is basically what happened.

Speaker 2 (01:27:26):
To this poor woman.

Speaker 1 (01:27:28):
Chavez said she had started to incorporate ice baths into
her fitness regime ahead of the carnival experience.

Speaker 2 (01:27:35):
However, due to the grueling schedule of.

Speaker 1 (01:27:37):
Carnival and the duties she would be expected to participate in,
she was she was gonna, she was gonna get training, man,
So she did. She just trained too hard, and I understandably.
So I don't know if I have the athletic stamina
to tork for five days straight. Just how long this

(01:27:58):
thing is. And that's just the main carnival. There's a
bunch of crap before it and after it too. So yeah,
she just it's just a training exercise. So I hope
she gets better. She said that she wanted. She didn't want.
She didn't want to involve invasive procedures. Oh like a
BB like a Brazilian butt lift. Yeah, I bet if
you're Miss Bumbum, you can't do that.

Speaker 2 (01:28:19):
People call you out on that.

Speaker 1 (01:28:21):
So she was hoping for alternatives could help with muscle
recovery and physical preparation for the grueling rehearsal and training
sessions that are required for the raining. Miss Bumbum, the
idea was to use cold to help my body recover,
relief tiredness and reduce the feeling of swelling, a swelling
after working up, the swelling that happens after working your

(01:28:46):
bum that hard. Man, this is a this is a
whole struggle.

Speaker 2 (01:28:51):
I didn't know existed. That's amazing.

Speaker 7 (01:28:55):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (01:28:56):
Currently, the Brazilian influencer says that she could suffers concernsiderable
pain sitting down and it's sound it difficult to sit
down properly or quote do anything involving that part of
her body.

Speaker 2 (01:29:12):
Oh man, I.

Speaker 1 (01:29:13):
Don't want to eat too much because so the struggle
is real, people, The struggle is real, all right. So
we got the pickleball stuff here we go. I am
not calling a grown person that name online two is
that his screen name or something? O?

Speaker 2 (01:29:29):
God? Fine whatever? Yes, person going by hugs.

Speaker 1 (01:29:34):
What can I do for you?

Speaker 3 (01:29:36):
Hey, good morning Casey. On the pick a ball thing,
you asked Ross if there were any pickle ball course
to wait for us there far And I happen to
live right between two of them, about an eighth of
a mile on either side of my house. From sun
up to about ten pm at night, it's going and

(01:29:56):
it is brutally loud.

Speaker 1 (01:29:58):
Even as far I am the battles hitting the ball.
I mean, what's the noise?

Speaker 3 (01:30:03):
It's the ball has a very distinct, very loud pop
every time you hit with a paddle.

Speaker 1 (01:30:10):
It's like a red rubber ball. Right, It's like a
red rubber ball, like a lot like a size of
a tennis ball, right, something like that.

Speaker 3 (01:30:20):
Yeah, about besides of the tennis ball. Okay, and if
it's got holes in it, and yeah, no it's it
is or it doesn't have holescuseic But yeah, it is
brutally loud, and it had a very distinct sound. And
it said, after a while, it definitely greats on your nerves.

Speaker 1 (01:30:37):
Check it into to the I had no idea. So
you think this woman might be on the cusp of
getting you know, thrown in a padded room.

Speaker 3 (01:30:46):
Well right, I mean if it was right next to
my house maybe, but yeah, it's.

Speaker 1 (01:30:52):
A lot okay, all right, Well thanks for the spy
report there, Robert, what's up?

Speaker 7 (01:30:58):
Hey?

Speaker 6 (01:30:59):
Absolutely right. The gentleman just said that pickaball anoid is
absolutely deafening. But I must say to begin with that
pickaball to tennis is like goofy gough to goth It's
a game where a lot of orthopedic surgeons got together
and decided to build it so they can get business.

(01:31:19):
But the real thing is casey that if you go
on YouTube, for example, a lot of engineers have done
the study of the pickaball itself and it's actually like
a whiffleball back in the day, and it makes you
very just think sound like the Collins said, and travels
a great distance. And in fact, in my neighborhood we
have people who live near the tennis court that never

(01:31:42):
had a problem till somebody bought up a pick a
ball net, and now they're expecting to sue the neighborhood
because the pickaball nooiad is too loud. And in fact,
I'm probably more than a half mile away from the
pickball course, has crow Wise and I can on my
portion here at night just watch the cono said. In fact,

(01:32:04):
they want to come in and start playing at six.
I am or quite a town, but we had to
Keba Sat to start at like eight o'clock and no
later than nine. But the noise are just really terrible.
And you've experienced it, do you understand what's talking about?

Speaker 1 (01:32:18):
Yeah, let me see this right, I'm trying to cut
you off. I gotta go to Ray with Weather here.
I really appreciate the cal Ross w chat with Ray.
Can you find audio somebody of pickleball. I'm sure there's
got to be videos of it. I have no idea
what it sounds like. Raced Agic from the Weather Channel.
Maybe he's a pickleball enthusiast. I don't know. People are suing,
they're getting lawyers involved. Some ladies that she's going to

(01:32:40):
the insane asylum because the pickleball across the streets so loud,
and I had no ill this was a problem. I
didn't either.

Speaker 9 (01:32:46):
My daughter plays. I'll have to ask her pickleballs up
there with tennis and golf for me. Things that I
was never really good at so.

Speaker 1 (01:32:55):
Golf's fun anyway. It doesn't even have to be about
the golf. Sometimes it's just being outside for four or
five hours drinking beer.

Speaker 2 (01:33:00):
Man glad.

Speaker 9 (01:33:01):
I don't even know what that means, but exactly. Yeah, well,
I mean pickleball. I don't know if you well, I
guess you could.

Speaker 2 (01:33:07):
I would want to be in a golf car with you.

Speaker 1 (01:33:09):
I feel it would be like when Fred Flintstone gets
the rib set on there it tips over. Yeah, anyway,
I got about a minute.

Speaker 9 (01:33:17):
What do you got Otherwise I could do it in
ten seconds. But either way, near ninety today, probably be
upper eighties. Try a ninety triangle sunshine. The sun's not
going anywhere through the weekend. Load to mid nineties, maybe
the upper nineties for some of us by Sunday, X
rang chance on Monday.

Speaker 1 (01:33:34):
Okay, all right, I let you get back to pickleballing.
We'll chat tomorrow and we will be right back.

Speaker 10 (01:33:39):
Hang on, hey, case, you know how we used to
say that if you see someone walking down the street smiling,
it's probably because they bought Nvidia shares ten years ago,
or they were purchasers of bitcoin. That's just not true.
Of bitcoin anymore. It's down for a fifth straight session.
Right now, Bitcoin is about six d three eight hundred

(01:34:01):
dollars a bitcoin, and that's after a big bitcoin investor
who once famously said do not ever dump your bitcoin,
he started selling off the asset that was divulged this week.
So that's just got a lot of people worry that
more of the year is going to come out of that.
Stocks overall, we're looking kind of a mixed open today

(01:34:22):
after yesterday's route. Dow futures are up five hundred, but
S and P futures are down twenty. Nasdaq futures tumbling
three hundred eight. Broadcom among the stocks under pressure. The
semiconductor maker out with the forecast that some people aren't
too happy with. Also, Petco shares are under pressure ticker
woof or woof however you want to say it. Second

(01:34:44):
quarter forecast fell below consensus estimates. They say their turnaround
hasn't been what they hoped it would be in terms
of gaining market share, which they are not doing it,
but they do say that they are seeing, you know,
the grooming business and all the businesses it's been trying
to the service related to pets that it's been trying
to get people to spend more of at Petco. They're

(01:35:05):
getting more attention for that, but business just isn't growing yet.
Speaking of pets, Casey fireflies are lighting up new tourist attractions.
Wall Street Journal says, so many people are gathering in
places like the Great Smoky Mountains to see them at peak.
Campsites are selling out months in advance. There's actually a
lottery for the parking spots. It attracted over forty five

(01:35:28):
thousand applicants this year. There's concerned no the crowds could
hurt the fireflies, risking trampling of female fireflies and also
disrupting their courtship ritual by light from cell phones or headlights,
So that's a factor there. Chipotle announcing a new campaign
fifty three years fifty three Real Ingredients, linking the twenty

(01:35:50):
twenty six NBA Finals matchup or in the middle of
between the Nicks and the Spurs, as you've been talking
about with the nationwide giveaway of fifty three thousand free burritos.
The theme draws on the shared fifty three year thread.
You know how the Knicks last one fifty three years ago,
right in nineteen cent and Chipotle's fifty three ingredients, it

(01:36:10):
says immediately after the championship end, so you got to
watch till the end. There it'll post a code on
X that will unlock access to these fifty three thousand
free burritos and some moores melting even more hearts. Hershey
says consumers spent nearly two hundred and fifty million dollars
on Hershey branded chocolate to make some mores last year.
It's a nine percent jump that a year ago. Food

(01:36:31):
Dive says some wors could generate another fifty million dollars
in annual sales casey for Hershey in the next three years.

Speaker 1 (01:36:40):
I'm all in.

Speaker 10 (01:36:40):
And you know you can make those stovetop even if
you're not camping. I've done that, right, I got the
urge going.

Speaker 1 (01:36:46):
Back to the NIXT game real quick, just because I
only have about thirty seconds.

Speaker 2 (01:36:49):
You see that idiot run out on the court.

Speaker 1 (01:36:51):
Yeah, I was going to ask you can we ask
woodship for these people?

Speaker 2 (01:36:55):
I mean, I mean Bill.

Speaker 10 (01:36:58):
Wemby said he didn't think it was a big deal.
He talked about that time someone threw a bap out
in the court, right, and he was like, you know,
It's cool he didn't care, but I mean they said
to stop the you know, that's notice.

Speaker 1 (01:37:11):
To stop.

Speaker 2 (01:37:12):
The whole possession thing got screwed up.

Speaker 1 (01:37:14):
I'm like, right, it throws into question security. Right, if
that can happen, it happen, absolutely all right, We're gonna
have to leave it there, though, Denise, So I'm glad
you're equally is outraged. I'm like, what is going on? Denise?

Speaker 2 (01:37:28):
Thank you?

Speaker 1 (01:37:29):
We'll chat to borrow there you go. Denise PELGRENI from
Bloomberg News. All right, I've had Ross do an extensive,
extensive research to figure out the fresh hell that is pickleball,
and I don't know. He says he's found the sound
of pickleball, so I'm gonna hear it for the first time. Okay,
please torture me with the pickleball. I mean no, no, no,

(01:37:54):
torture me with it.

Speaker 5 (01:37:56):
You know.

Speaker 2 (01:37:56):
That's it.

Speaker 1 (01:37:57):
But the thing that makes you want to go go
to the insen asylum. I need that level of yeah, man, right,
keeps your keep your kids up at nights crying, and
now you feel like a failure is a parent. That's
it right there. It sounds like people are playing tennis
with a harder ball, and arguably that's probably more aggressive

(01:38:18):
than most pickaball matches are. Yeah, I don't know. I'm
not saying if you live next to it, you're hallucinating.
I just don't know that. I'm getting the full effect
from a YouTube video.
