Speaker 1 (00:00):
Oh, we got things on the show that make me
happy today. We got things that make me wish for
the comment. Not the one to get to watch, but
the one that you get to feel. I don't know, man,
I was reading this morning. Let me just go here
if I could. I was reading this morning about this internet.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
Now.
Speaker 1 (00:20):
I will say I remember on one or two occasions
this individual ending ups in the news cycle somewhere, and
then I had I was forced to learn who it was.
And this was somebody on social media who went by
the phrase little Tay like Lil like the rapper stuff
l A L. And I I don't remember fully what
(00:43):
her shtick was. I think when we saw it it
was because people were outraged because she was on video,
you know, flashing stacks of cash and and all of that.
I honestly I don't know enough to care, but it
clearly looked like it was an act. I you wonder
why the parents are letting her lean into that. What's
(01:03):
the worst that could happen? So last week she turned eighteen,
and leading up to her eighteenth birthday made she made
no bones about it that the moment she turned eighteen,
she was starting an only fans. I think when I
saw a video of her rash, she was like ten
or eleven, it's been that long ago, wasn't that really
(01:26):
when she kind of came up. I don't know if
you're up on the little tast stuff.
Speaker 3 (01:29):
Like I know of this story, but I'm not gonna lie.
I have absolutely no idea who this person is.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
Yeah, I know that we've talked about her because I
knew the term little Tay and I kind of remembered
her stick.
Speaker 3 (01:40):
See, I completely forgot it because I'm reading it online.
I'm like, I don't recall this person at all.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
Okay, So well, rather than just questioning whether it's all
an act, the parents have a good eye, you know,
I have a good handle on what's going on.
Speaker 4 (01:54):
This is.
Speaker 3 (01:56):
We don't have to ask anymore.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
Because she she did it, and she made a million
plus dollars on her first day. Kind of like the
chick from the the Catch Me Outside Girl whatever her
stupid name it was. She call herself bad, bad baby
or something, that Barbie whatever. That chick made a just
(02:21):
an absolute bucket. But like you, you knew that was
dysfunctional because she got famous because her mom took her
on the Doctor Phil's show. Because she wouldn't listen. I'm
not justifying it. I'm just like you saw her that
was headed and if it was my generation, it would
(02:42):
have just headed to a strip club. But the world
has changed, so boom you go on there, which also.
Speaker 3 (02:49):
Means that if how many.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
Dudes were just sitting around with it with with a
countdown clock.
Speaker 3 (02:57):
You know, there's a conspiracy theory that only fans is
actually like a money laundering sort of thing because when
you really sit down and think about it, and I guess,
really all you would need is like ten percent of
the market or whatever. But who's paying for porn in
the year twenty twenty five, Like.
Speaker 1 (03:13):
The same people who want that thing that you showed
us yesterday and creeped me out about.
Speaker 3 (03:18):
But that's free. Well, no, it's not free. You're talking
about the groc that I'm talking about it. I mean,
I guess it's paid through premium through X but.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
Okay, well, and I've tried to understand. I've tried to
understand why people go and do the only because you
see those stories where somebody's just buckets of money and
you're like, you know that there's free pornography on the internet.
Speaker 3 (03:38):
I think they get the same kick out of it
as like prostitution.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
Probably it's the emotional interaction is if very article I've
ever read, it's it's the fact that they're in you know,
yeah that you go see that video, but they're not
emotionally interacting with you, which is actually far worse because
now you've made an emotional connection to somebody who is
there for business probably or worse. And but I digress.
(04:05):
So if that's the case, I guess I understand why
people would would view it as different. That being said,
you also, you were just sitting there waiting. You know
that the UK tabloid that runs the Topless Chicks was
a page six or whatever they call it, over their
page whatever it is. They not that long ago. They
(04:27):
used to you could be sixteen and they would run
countdowns to sixteen year olds getting to pose. There's a
couple of very famous ones as read I read this
was one of the pieces I read in relation to
what's going on with little Tay there. But then I thought,
all right, somebody was able to talk to her father,
(04:49):
so he's got to have some thoughts about this, right
his daughter the day she turns eighteen. Also, ross if
you upload a bunch of produced content at twelve oh
one on your birthday? What might be a problem with that?
Speaker 3 (05:06):
I mean, that's what I was thinking about too. I mean,
so when she recorded it, she was seventeen, So isn't
that child porn? I don't know. I mean, how does
that work? I don't know.
Speaker 1 (05:17):
I mean we've had there was somebody who was charged
as an adult because they had nude photos of high
school girls because the photos were from when they were
in high school.
Speaker 3 (05:28):
That has that.
Speaker 1 (05:29):
We've adjudicated that case, and I don't know if that
dude got off on that case. So, like it's kind
of wild West out there. It just depends I guess
what judge you get. So they asked dad, They're like,
what do you think? And he said, well, she's an
adult now, and I know that whatever she does, she'll
be successful doing it.
Speaker 3 (05:49):
It comes back to that Chris rockbit where you only
have one job as a dad, which is to keep
your daughter off the pole. This is just the poll now. Yeah,
It's like I pointed out with the other chick, the
doctor Phil chick, she.
Speaker 1 (05:59):
Would have just went and worked at the men's club
or whatever.
Speaker 3 (06:02):
I saw a stat online I don't remember what the
source was, but it was reliable when I read at
the time, remember that much. Were they just to ten
percent sta thing? Noah, it was like seventeen. They said,
like seventeen percent of women now between the ages of
like eighteen to twenty four haveing only fans or eighteenhre.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
Or doing something within the sex work. I saw the
same statu Yeah, I don't know if it was just
only fans. Well we are Look, we are ever ever
more so. And it's not just this generation we've been
building towards it an instant gratification society. And why not
every year we are on this planet, some sort of
(06:40):
technology or thing makes it quicker and easier to achieve
whatever our goal is. Used to be laundry or or
you know, helping prepare your food, or a rumba that
vacuums for you, or you just want to be able
to Like the concept. It's still in my mind when
(07:02):
I'm sitting there and I hear of a movie I
want to watch, and I can sit in whatever room
in my house I have a TV and that movie,
that movie will be there instantly. I have to pay
for it, but instantly. That's insane.
Speaker 3 (07:19):
Ross.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
Do you remember when a really popular new release came
out at Blockbuster how you had to like, you had
to have a strategy for getting getting a hold of one.
You go down there, you want to make sure it's
the whatever story you're good with, whoever's running the thing.
Speaker 3 (07:34):
I feel like it used to mean more too, because
you had to It's like anything like it, it's it
means more if you have to work for it.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
Yeah, you had to go manipulate the sign up list
or be it there at the right time, or know somebody,
and then you get a hold of it. God forbid,
they had a hot one out that you went in
for the next few weeks and every.
Speaker 3 (07:53):
Box was just the cover.
Speaker 5 (07:54):
You know.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
Oh man, Now, if I want to go see whatever
and half the time if it's in theaters, when it
gets towards the end of the theatrical run, if I
really want to be crazy and spend like twenty bucks
on a rental, I can't do that. That is an
option for me.
Speaker 3 (08:12):
I've still never pulled the trigger on one of the
rock Have you ever rented one of those? It's just
stupid expensive.
Speaker 1 (08:18):
I don't understand, like, but but I guess there's obviously
a marketer.
Speaker 3 (08:22):
They wouldn't do it.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
They had one the other day for some movie that's
still in theaters because I happened to see you when
I was on Amazon.
Speaker 3 (08:27):
I'm like, is this already in the I'll never do that,
that's yeah. But now her dad's cool with it. Man,
Well he's either cool with it or he's putting on
a happy face. He's the meme of the dude wearing
the happy face mask, but he's like crying underneath. I
don't know. I mean they've been sort of promoting her
as a social media creature. While yeah, that could be
(08:52):
the results of bad parenting as well as some sort
of moral problem with the kid. I mean there's something
weird there.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
Yeah, Like her whole formative years has been get the bag,
quich right yep? So and then brag and then hold
the bag up on camera, brag about it and say
stuff that normally a little girl your age wouldn't say.
Speaker 3 (09:12):
And then somewhere down the line, twenty years or something
or ten years, you're gonna have a video of her
looking at the camera, crying in her car, wondering why
she's so depressed because there's a big like moral issue
with her spirit.
Speaker 1 (09:22):
Orseaf she can't keep a relationship, right, yeah, yeah, oh.
Speaker 3 (09:25):
Yeah, I do.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
I feel bad even though she is an adult. Now
I feel bad for it because I feel like I
feel like it didn't dawn upon her. Clearly did dawn
upon her at twelve or one am on her birthday.
She didn't go, oh wait, I'm eighteen. Now hold on,
let me take my pants off like that.
Speaker 3 (09:41):
That'side.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
They prepped and planned and teased it.
Speaker 3 (09:44):
I say they.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
I have no evidence that her parents helped put the prom.
Speaker 3 (09:47):
It could be look at that what is her name,
Bonnie Blue or whatever where her mom produces her videos. Yeah,
like her mom is clean up. Oh it's straight upsidom man.
Just bring on the meteor, dude, I'm telling you.
Speaker 1 (10:01):
Did you see screenshots of the new Jesus Christ Superstar?
Speaker 6 (10:06):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (10:06):
I did with her where she's got like a broom
handle as the Cross. She's on the stage the black
bald woman from the Whiz or the Wizard or whatever that. Yeah,
I admit, where she's playing Gollum, right, No, no, Gollum
plays the Witch or so I don't I don't know,
I don't know. I've never watched it. But yeah, so
she's on there Jesus Christ Superstar and it's.
Speaker 3 (10:27):
Jesus Christ Superstar. Okay, I thought it was Gollum. I
thought she was playing Gollum in that from the Star. No,
it's very easy to get the confused if you see it.
Speaker 1 (10:35):
Yeah, and it's just like that's it, man. I think
I wrote a fake review and tweeted it. It said, amazing
show took my wife. As we were leaving, I told
her not to turn them back and look, and she
never listens. So now she's turned to a pillar of salt.
My house is much quieter and the food is better.
(10:55):
Season ten out of ten would repeat. So yeah, man,
but you realize how many people it took to get
her that amount of money.
Speaker 3 (11:08):
On day one it was over one hundred thousand. Yeah,
like just a lot of degenerate, lonely people sitting at home,
or it's a money laundering scheme. I don't know. I
one or the two one hundred thousand people, and it's
probably more by now.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
That was just the first day numbers. I honestly I
stopped looking into it because the whole thing creeped me out.
But then I saw the dad the dad this morning.
I'm like, what are you doing, sir?
Speaker 3 (11:36):
Yeah? Yeah. He was just like, oh, you know, it's
like she's making her own decisions now. She is. No,
she is.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
That is technically accurate. Doesn't mean you have to be
happy about them? Or is that the new Is that
the latest greatest mindset that once your kid turns eighteen,
whatever decision they make, you just parents don't criticize at
all or question. My mother had thoughts on things that
I did till the day she died. She expressed them differently,
(12:09):
but she still had thoughts, and she was make sure
you knew. I can't even imagine. He's just like, no,
it's okay. Hold on, let me read the exact quote
from this dude. He says, once you know, he's chill.
He said, Look, she's an adult. She can make her
own decisions. I'm sure she is going to be successful
(12:32):
and whatever she decides to do, there's just some people
who won't approve no matter what she does. She didn't
start a pet rescue. I feel like people would have
different thoughts on different things. And again, you're right, she
is an adult, so she wants to go screw things
up all on her own and set herself up for
later in life. I guess maybe her thought is, I'm
(12:53):
already screwed, so let's just go ahead and spend the
next few years getting paid and that'll be out. I
don't know. I don't know what the thought process is,
but I don't feel creeped out talking about it because
maybe some pervlust and it's like I got something to
google later or now. I'll just know that if you
(13:17):
do stumble across some of that content, just the math
baths that it might be an underage girl by a
few minutes or a few days or a few hours
or whatever it is. But yeah, the whole thing is.
The thing was creepy enough until I saw Dad weighing
on it, and I'm like, oh, jeez, we're in a
different place, all right, what about well that? Now here's
(13:43):
the thing. Yeah, are there Hollywood movies with teenage new Yeah?
You back to the seventies and eighties. Still movies you
can access on streaming services. I'm not going to tell
you what they are, but there are ones out there
with or there ones where they use a body double
and imply that the actress what was it?
Speaker 3 (14:03):
Was it?
Speaker 1 (14:04):
Jodie Foster isn't a movie, but it's her older sister
who does it.
Speaker 3 (14:09):
How they get away with it. But there's others where
it is actually the kid.
Speaker 1 (14:12):
I want to think that that Romeo and juliet they
showed us in high school where the girl where Juliette's
top was, that was an underage actress. I'm almost positive
that's the case. And they showed us that in school,
so I know it exists. But and again, I was
a teenage boy, so I enjoyed well watching my fellow
(14:37):
female students with the low cut shirt. I got it.
But I bet if you did a if you took
the average age of her new subscribers, they're not all
fellow seniors.
Speaker 3 (14:51):
I don't know if she's in school. I mean, they're
possibly the other kind of senior.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
There is a possibility you could still use the word senor.
Speaker 3 (14:59):
In fact, true in the discount at the buffet, but
not that.
Speaker 1 (15:03):
Discount, the other one, the later one. Yeah, I guess
it does make movie movie night cheaper, So you got
that going for you as well.
Speaker 3 (15:12):
All right?
Speaker 1 (15:14):
Coming up on the show, NERD correspondent Stephen Cantel join us.
I know he really doesn't like to get into this stuff.
But I'm curious what he thinks because this is this
is this is pop culture and on the web. Man,
I suspect he probably the same thoughts we do.
Speaker 3 (15:30):
So we got that.
Speaker 1 (15:31):
Now, there's a lot of discussion about the colonization of
the moon. Of course, you got to look at through
the lens of the media just trying to be pains.
So we'll get that for you.
Speaker 3 (15:42):
And holy crap, man, this might.
Speaker 1 (15:46):
Be one of the worst comparisons I've ever seen a
member of Congress make between two things, and it's not
going well for her. I know you're gonna be shocked
to learn that, but.
Speaker 3 (15:58):
We will.
Speaker 1 (15:59):
It's about redistricting and what it reminds you of, in fact,
in your mind right now, what's.
Speaker 3 (16:03):
You to think? What does redistricting.
Speaker 1 (16:05):
Ie gender, Jerry banderin if you want to call it that,
What is redrawing the maps reminds you of?
Speaker 3 (16:10):
What other process? All right?
Speaker 1 (16:12):
So get that locked into your brain and we'll get
into that and much more coming up on this Thursday
morning on the CaCO Day radio program. Ross just telling
me about there's a new video game. He's very excited about.
Speaker 3 (16:24):
What's it called? Just Mafi.
Speaker 1 (16:25):
It's called Mafia the Old Country.
Speaker 3 (16:27):
Yeah, it takes place in nineteen hundred. Sicily comes out
tonight at midnight. You can't wait, okay, and then what
you just run around and make sure your wife doesn't
get her car bombed? Yes, yeah, oh no, I'm hoping
there's gonna be an olive garden like the original. It's
an actual olive garden. Can't wait?
Speaker 1 (16:42):
Well, I mean yeah, I mean you had to get
the name from somewhere. So you're in the garden, which
is you got all the trees around, and then you
eat find Italian cuisine, although Sicily is not Tuscany.
Speaker 3 (16:52):
So that's true. That's a good point.
Speaker 1 (16:55):
They brought him in, that's what you're saying. They imported him. Okay,
and you gonna go stay at Don Cheete's mansion or.
Speaker 3 (17:02):
It's in the game from Godfather too.
Speaker 1 (17:04):
Well, it's in real life. You stay at that mansion.
I think it's the place where you can stay.
Speaker 3 (17:07):
Yeah. The game developers went there and like had tour
and stuff and talk to the guy that owns it
now and pretty.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
Cool okay, yeah yeah, yeah, yeah. He runs as a
tourist attraction, which I guess makes sense. Uh, all right,
where do I ever want to start this morning? Okay,
this so obviously the big Texas redistricting things going on
right arrest warrants? Will they be charged?
Speaker 3 (17:30):
Will they not?
Speaker 1 (17:31):
Will they? At the I think what's more likely is
they're going to seek expulsion of the member who was
leading the charge. I guess as warning to other members.
And and by the way, this whole leaving the state
so you can't quarm crap. It annoys me to the
tenth power. And yes, that includes when the the one time,
and maybe there's more recently where Republicans in Oregon did it.
(17:54):
You don't get to do it. Oh, but they're not
being fair and this, that and the other. I got
it one hundred percent, but you don't get to do that.
And I remember clowning the Wisconsin idiots when they did
that when they were going through and first they took
over the capitol, occupied it, and then pooped everywhere. That's
not me exaggerating, that's true. You should look that up.
(18:17):
And then they all decided they were going to go
hump it down to Illinois, which has become like a
safe space for a wayward politicians. You don't want to
have to vote on stuff. And of course one of
the ironies is the special session in Texas is not
just the redistricting, but also it's the.
Speaker 3 (18:41):
Excuse me, it's the flood, the flood relief, right, or
you just you know, you just had not just.
Speaker 1 (18:46):
The little the school or the camp full of girls
for the round. It's yeah, over one hundred people that
were killed and tens of thousands, probably hundreds of thousands
that have some sort of flood issues looking for the
state to do something. So that's also what's being held up. Well,
they coordinated it that way, I don't.
Speaker 3 (19:05):
Know, maybe maybe not.
Speaker 1 (19:06):
I mean it definitely the mother nature time there is
out the way that they did. And the redistricting is
the redistricting, So I mean, what do you want? So
we'll see what happens there. But that doesn't stop people
from having really really stupid takes on it, including Texas
State Rep. Yolanda Jones, who had some thoughts that she
(19:28):
shared with Don Lemon yesterday and let's just see if
those thoughts are insane? Shall we Okay, here we go,
Oh this is so bad?
Speaker 7 (19:38):
And then integration happening. Everybody thought they accept this. They
don't accept this, They are showing us who they are.
We should believe in and we better have the curse
to stand up otherwise we will fall for anything. And
in this country we will be defeated, deported. I mean,
we will lose all of our rights. And if you
think it can't happen, it can. And I will liken
this to the Holocaust. People are like, well, how did
(19:59):
the Holocaust happened? How is somebody in a position to
kill all their people? Well, good people remain silent, or
good people didn't realize that what happens to them can
very soon happen to me or somebody I love and
so and so. Even if you made it, man, you
have an obligation to help people who came because God forbid,
they end up targeting you.
Speaker 1 (20:22):
I'm sorry, So, I just want to be clear. The
redrawing out of the maps in.
Speaker 3 (20:26):
Texas is like the Holocaust.
Speaker 1 (20:32):
As you can imagine, some people did not think that
the redistricting in Texas is like the Holocaust, and they
had some thoughts.
Speaker 3 (20:40):
I guess she's apologized or half apologized, but like she
doesn't mean it.
Speaker 1 (20:47):
She believes that and it's either through an inaccurate understanding
of the Holocaust, which I don't think so I think
she's old enough or or uh, the modern politics that
we quote unquote enjoy. Now you go say stuff like
that and think that you're making some sort of good point, Like,
(21:08):
there's just no check there, man, It's it's the he's
literally hitler thing. It's like, once you pulled it too
many times, nobody's listening to you. But yeah, as you
can imagine, there was some pretty pre significant blowback there,
and she kind of half apologized, I didn't mean it
like that. Now now you did. It's just really dumb
what you said. So why don't you go ahead and
(21:30):
known that?
Speaker 2 (21:31):
All right?
Speaker 1 (21:31):
Six forty here on the k c O Day radio program.
Speaker 3 (21:35):
And the best, the best part about that cut was
is it don or dom don whatever whatever? Whatever the best?
So Dan is doing the segment there, and the reason
that his show was canceled is because she's saying all
his craziness and he's just like, oh yeah, huh, yep, yeah, yeah,
he's kind all right. At that point in the interview,
you should be like, are you insane? Dude?
Speaker 1 (21:56):
Some if I was interviewing anybody, right, anybody, I first
I wouldn't just scaring them in media. I like, you're
gonna have to really explain how the two were the
same thing. You're like, you're talking to Dave Bullock or
some about the d m V and you, okase, you know,
he's just like waiting in line.
Speaker 3 (22:13):
It's just like the Holocaust. We would be like, you'd
be like, are you nuts? Are like let him hang himself? Yeah,
crazy man. And he's just sitting there like noding, nodding
his head in his bedroom studio and he completely I
think that's the don Lemon Master suite there, chilling out,
(22:33):
chilling out, the little little side nook and his big
bedroom there. Okay, maybe I don't know. I just I
just know it's not gonna.
Speaker 1 (22:45):
End well for you. But she went there anyway? Oh God,
why don't they just remove them all? I I still
I still don't know if they can remove them all.
I don't know if they can remove any I think
I think you're an uncharted, untested because what they're trying
to what they're essentially trying to lean in on, is
(23:06):
a bribery piece of rule. So I understand there is
a bit of shoehorning here, and maybe it does cover it,
but it basically, it's more about preventing bribery that either
gets you to vote in some way or to not vote.
And that's what they're trying to hang this out on,
saying that they're essentially being bride because their trips are
(23:28):
being paid for so that they don't vote. And it's
the Democrat.
Speaker 3 (23:32):
Party or some of these these yeah party aligned groups,
these five on ones that are essentially footing the bills,
so they're being compensated.
Speaker 1 (23:42):
They're being compensated not to vote. It meets the statute,
and that may well be the case. I don't know
that it's court tested. So I think rather than you know,
throwing fifty one of them or however many there are out,
he kind of you got to start somewhere. And so
maybe if it's just whoever organized it, and if that
statue does have teeth, to prepare yourself, because what if
(24:08):
what if there's a rep that goes somewhere, Because it
doesn't say it has to prevent quorum. It speaks to
the individual behavior of the elected official. So what if
there's a what if there's a member of the Texas House,
Let's say the Democrats are in charge, and that member
even though their vote won't be needed because there will
be a quorum and everyone else will be there. But
they're on the radar and they go to something, and
(24:31):
that's something in any way, shape or form, has it
where you know, they make money doing them. Maybe they
go and they do a spot, they go speaking engagement somewhere,
and it causes them to miss a day of votes.
Speaker 3 (24:41):
Does that count? Technically?
Speaker 1 (24:44):
Somebody gave that guy money and as a result of
giving him the money, he went and did the thing,
and he took the day off and even those votes
wouldn't have swayed it one way or the other. He
was still quote unquote prevented from voting. And I don't
know what the answer to that is, but I know
the answer is not. This is just like the Holocaust.
So I guess I'm ahead of ahead of the game,
(25:05):
all right. Associated Press had a very uh oh, this
is a very tough story.
Speaker 3 (25:10):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (25:11):
One of the one of the things in journalism now
is is you have to have to do all these
think pieces focusing on the down trodden, and then you
have to come up with a new angle of why
somebody's the down trodden, right, and then you got to
figure out who the villain is the villain's you know,
cis white males, or society expectations. Sometimes it's religion. Who's
(25:34):
the villain there? And then you got to find the victim,
and then you highlight the victim. And there's a whole
bunch of victims here, and the Associated Press decided to
do a piece on it. I'm going to share that
with you. Coming up here on the Cacoda Radio program,
either onto the court or attempting to throw it onto
the court and striking another fan, you're saying that they might.
Speaker 3 (25:52):
Have a look about them. Yeahs stereotyping. Yeah, if I
had to predict it, probably would have a certain look.
Yet Yeah, I mean I could be wrong.
Speaker 1 (26:03):
Yeah, you want to make sure. Look, if you're gonna
show up to a w NBA game or any sporting
event for that matter, and you're gonna throw a giant
rubber fallis onto the cord, you're gonna want to practice
or get better seats if you don't feel you're gonna
make the whole throw, because if you come up short,
or if you throw long, or if you throw inaccurately
(26:26):
and you strike another fan and they happen to be Oh,
I don't know nine.
Speaker 3 (26:32):
Now we're having a different conversation.
Speaker 1 (26:34):
Even though I don't think you intended to hit a
nine year old, you're now now you're a grown adult
male who's thrown a sex toy at a nine year old.
And that's that's where the prosecutor starts getting creative in
what they charge you with. So they have the whole article.
Yes I didn't put it in the stack, and it's
what is the headline here? Adult toy throwers explain why
(26:56):
they target the WNBA because again, this has happened a
couple times here.
Speaker 3 (27:02):
In the last few weeks, a.
Speaker 1 (27:05):
Group behind a series of toy throwing incidents at WNBA
games has surfaced, offer an explanation for their behavior and
revealing new information about recent arrests. The group, which claims
to have over six hundred members, said the aim is
not to harm, but to entertain through absurdity.
Speaker 3 (27:23):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (27:23):
I don't think that they mean to physically harm anybody
except you hit that nine year old in the head.
Speaker 3 (27:30):
So yeah, So it's have fun in the sex registry
now man.
Speaker 1 (27:34):
And by the way, the other sex offenders are going
to beat you up for how stupid that is. I'm
assuming they have a pecking order within the group. Prison
is all pecking orders, right.
Speaker 3 (27:46):
I retweeted the New York Post article on the show
account at Casey and the Radio X and like I said,
the photo of the dude, when you imagine like who's
throwing it, it's probably like that guy.
Speaker 1 (27:54):
It's probably who you're picturing in your head. Why is
that so often on this show? I got the story
who would drive a lot on a highway drunk out
of their mind or messed out of their mind? And
then you see the mug shineing, You're like, that's the
dude central castingly that.
Speaker 3 (28:08):
Well, you know they're saying it was like an infinite
money hack. Did you hear about the hack the adult
toy WNBA hack on Polymarket?
Speaker 4 (28:16):
No?
Speaker 1 (28:17):
Oh yes, yes, yes, yeah, we're no that was it
was a streaking thing where the guy made money. That's
the that's the legendary tale.
Speaker 3 (28:23):
Well, they're saying you could do the similar things here
where on Polymarket. You know, they're like, what are the
odds of it? And you can bet on it. Some
people are like, you know, buy this thing for twenty dollars,
go to the game by a ticket, right, throw the
thing place the place, like a thousand to five thousand
dollars bet. Throw it on the court and suddenly you
just profited.
Speaker 1 (28:41):
Yeah, they had a guy who they had a guy
who controversially bet that there would be a streaker at
this big sporting event.
Speaker 3 (28:47):
Right, so he's he's the one that did it right, and.
Speaker 1 (28:50):
He shut up and streaked it. Yeah, and I don't
remember what the outcome was. I'm sure in the terms
of service, if you if you do anything to influence
the outcome of any bet, and yeah, nob're not gonna
pay you.
Speaker 3 (29:01):
It has to be against TuS just to be smart
and protect their own ass.
Speaker 1 (29:06):
Well yeah, and they don't necessarily mean it and just
throwing uh, phallic shaped items. It's you know, well, if
you want to do a game and you were concerned
that this team was gonna win, and you, like, I
don't know, you you obstructed or attempted to injure one
of the opposing players. I guess that would be seen
as that if you go and you and you snatch
a baseball and that's you know, it'd be another example
(29:28):
right there where you attempted to manipulate the score. So yeah,
I don't think they're gonna be down with that. The
man from Atlanta, let's see here, who was initially arrested
was not the person through the first green one. Uh
so there was the first one and then this guy
through the second one. Now the group thinks that the guy,
(29:53):
that this guy had nothing to do with the other one,
but they're also the group behind it apparently, so I
don't I don't know. And it's weird because there you
have a logo and they've incorporated a green adult toy
into Pepe means memes and then dress.
Speaker 3 (30:11):
It up like Pepe. So because of course they did.
Why not.
Speaker 1 (30:16):
There's just there are so many layers of creepiness on
the internet, you just you don't even know where to
start most days. So be careful out there.
Speaker 3 (30:27):
Man. Let's see, they said there were more bets being
placed on the throwing of the toy on the court
than the actual score of the game. When does that
tell you? Yeah? Yeah, man, I would I wouldn't bet
on w NBA. Yeah, clearly, I don't know enough about it.
You shouldn't bet on things you don't know about.
Speaker 1 (30:50):
Yeah, I mean, it's just he looks like it looks
like the he looks like the kid would be in
the computer labs at high school year. I guess if
I just said enteralized there, what's his name? Cayden Lopez? Look, yeah,
so he's eighteen, he's throwing phallic symbols, and then another
eighteen year old is making bank staring at him. I guess,
(31:15):
crazy double standard. We got out there boys each and
every day, all right, so you want to hear the
dumbest thing on. So of course now they got to
talk about, oh do you hear the energy secretary?
Speaker 3 (31:27):
So they want to put a small nuclear reactor on
the Moon so they can power essentially all the stuff
we have to have there. This is outrageous, whereas we.
Speaker 1 (31:35):
We wanted an old turn of the century Industrial revolution
coal plant because why not, plus you know, just to
just to own the environmentalists. But either way, that delved
into much dumber discussion, including this following exchange on CBS
about why it's a little concerning that the US is
even talking about this growing up.
Speaker 8 (31:57):
But if we want to keep growing a population, or
if you want to live forever, all right, we don't
need another planet.
Speaker 9 (32:04):
So so is that the moon?
Speaker 3 (32:05):
Because A I don't want to live on the moon, right,
is it? Is it what would serve as.
Speaker 10 (32:10):
A functional life source eventually for human beings? And b
we know how the age of colonialism worked on this planet.
Speaker 9 (32:19):
Should we be trying.
Speaker 10 (32:20):
To colonize and saying that there's a keepout zone that
not other countries can participate in.
Speaker 8 (32:25):
I mean the real problem with the colonization history in
Western civilization is that there are people already there right right.
Speaker 9 (32:32):
There are no moon beings that were displaced.
Speaker 1 (32:34):
Now, I'll give Tyson credit for at least catching that,
but yeah, so you got this idiot who's like, well, yeah,
but colonization bad, right, because it's it's the mental reflex
that they're just beat into them. Nowadays, manifest destiny is
white supremacy. Colonization bad. As not to say that aspects
of colonization weren't weren't bad, but also some would argue
(32:56):
that they were pretty good, built a heck of a
nation there, and but to spout that insanity before Tyson
corrects him. It's like, the all the things you think
about about colonization require the displacement of the indigenous peoples.
Any talking point you want to have, so you better
(33:16):
know who that is, by the way, And Tyson was
wrong on one thing. Ross, I have I ever told
you this my family Actually, we're the indigenous Moon people.
We got some soldiering news and ain't none of it
good this morning? Sorry about that. Let me start with
the lesser of the two. A twenty two year old
soldier at Fort Bliss was arrested yes after attempting to
(33:39):
provide Russia with military combat operation details on several US
Army tanks. I have a question. I'm not, by the way,
clearly the motive there. I don't know if it's financial
or what, but the motive was there. And he attempted
to sell information or rite information for some reason to
(34:01):
uh to Russia, which is you know, a quasi enemy
for all of my life or any other government.
Speaker 4 (34:11):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (34:11):
And he can't do that, and you're gonna pay the price.
And I'm fine, But like you think Russia does understand
the combat limitations of our current fleet of army tanks.
This sounds like super easy stuff if when it comes
to collecting information on your enemies or people could be
your enemies.
Speaker 3 (34:28):
That they might have. So I'm like, what did he
think he was doing? That's what i want to know.
Speaker 1 (34:39):
Let's see here according to authorities. Uh was this guy's name.
Speaker 9 (34:45):
Lee?
Speaker 1 (34:46):
It's his first name, Uh, Taylor Lee. This is rank
because it does matter because again, I because this guy
thinks that he's he's got he's sitting on the nuke
codes or something. He thinks it's important enough. And so
I'm just curious what his rank was and why he
would assume that the Russian military really needs that, because
(35:09):
it's less so that information right there, probably and what
they think they might be able to get. All right,
so there is some more technical data. I guess he
was privy to anyway, That's not going to go well
for you. It's charge of attempting to transmit national defense
information to a foreign adversary and exporting controlled technical data
(35:29):
without a license. Else, if you have a license, you
can you can share military secrets with other governments. How
do you get that license? Beginning to May, Lee tried
to provide his army credentials and send US defense information
to Russia's Ministry of Defense. So he was reaching out
to them. Lee used the Internet to send technical information
(35:53):
of the M one A two abrams. We've had that
thing forever. Let's see here in the message to the Russians.
He wrote, the US is not happy with me for
trying to.
Speaker 3 (36:09):
Expose dude Ross.
Speaker 1 (36:10):
This dude sounds like he just wanted to He wanted
to be a spy. That's the vibe I'm getting here.
This sounds like a dude who was bored with whatever
he's doing in the military, watched one too many eighties
era things and thought that would be cool. Because I
was trying to determine if he did it for some
ideological reason. I think he just thought it would be
(36:32):
cool to be thinking himself a double agent or something.
And in fact, next month Lee had an in person
meeting with the person that he believed represented the Russian
government and or the month after this, and then handed
over a digital storage device which he said held documents
and information about the Abrams and a couple other armored
(36:56):
fighting vehicles or personnel carriers. And he did not have authorizations,
so I guess we swooped in and pretended to be
Russian and then he provided to somebody who was h investigators.
Speaker 3 (37:09):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (37:09):
I honestly, I think this dude just he thought it
would be much cooler if he was if he was
super spy, or I don't know, maybe maybe members of
the military, uh get probed for, you know, by foreign entities.
I'm assuming that this is a policy thing and a
discussion that's had with members of the military, especially as
they progress in the ranks or in their more technical
(37:31):
moss like, Hey, here's what to watch out for, because yeah,
people are gonna want to know stuff. That's why we
we arrest people will stand outside military basis, which seems dumb,
but it happens. What are you what are you gleaning
standing out on brack Boulevard steering in or I can't
remember the road that leads up into h Seymour Johnson
(37:52):
there by the Texas Roadhouse. Are you Are you seeing
something you can report phone home about. Yeah, that's that's
not gonna go well. And at least that one didn't
involve this.
Speaker 3 (38:03):
What this one? Did you have an army sergeant, I'm
gonna try to pronounce this guy's name, Cornelis corp Rodnellis.
I don't know Cornell.
Speaker 1 (38:22):
We're gonna go with Cornelis Radford, who, according to Army
officials at Fort Stewart, I had a handgun. It was
not a military firearm, right, And just to be clear,
when you're on a military base. I guess if we
don't know, not all the soldiers aren't all running around
with guns. In fact, very few are. You got MPs
(38:42):
and and then you know firearms from the armory for
for but most people don't run around with firearms. Right,
So this was not not his, not one that was
issued to him, but he had it. And we still
don't fully know what led to gun fire. But five,
five fellow soldiers were shot, none of them killed. I
(39:03):
will say this, and this is going to sound dark,
and I don't mean it to be, and I'm not
making light of it. I'm glad everyone's okay. But you're
in the military. You're in a branch of the US military.
You've clearly advanced in the branch.
Speaker 2 (39:16):
Right.
Speaker 1 (39:16):
You didn't enter as a sergeant kind of surgeon, is he?
So you've had one or two promotions, you have the
element of surprise, and you didn't even of the five people,
you didn't put anyone even in critical condition.
Speaker 3 (39:38):
You're not good at this.
Speaker 1 (39:40):
And thanks to and as you can imagine, also, he
was quickly swarmed upon when he did open fire, because yes,
soldiers ain't gonna sit there and take it. So authority
say they're investigating the shooting. They have a lot of
unanswered questions all of that, and you know, kudos to
the soldiers who stepped up there. I mean clearly, even
(40:02):
though this guy is not very good at what he does,
you don't know where that would have headed. They tackled
him quickly, forced a brief lockdown. The army says they're
still investigating. Three of them did have to have surgery,
but it looks like everyone is gonna make it. I
don't know that all of them will return to service, but.
Speaker 4 (40:23):
There you go.
Speaker 3 (40:24):
Radford who had let's see here, so he had a
dui charge.
Speaker 1 (40:29):
You're like, well, what prompted this? He'd got a dui charge.
Let's see back in May at a court hearing in August.
I don't know how does the dui charge hit your
your army stuff. They don't throw you out of the army,
do they can you get a demotion?
Speaker 3 (40:51):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (40:51):
I don't know what the rules are there. So I'm
trying to figure out what made this guy go I'm
gonna go shoot five people allegedly? What was he and
also what was he part of? What was his uh oh,
Spartan Brigade yeah, okay, second Armored Brigade Combat Team. The
(41:13):
Army describes it as the most modern land fighting force. Yeah,
I'm actually aware of this. This particular brigade Portstewart, the
largest Army post. He's in the Mississippi by Land area.
Speaker 3 (41:23):
Okay, that's great.
Speaker 1 (41:24):
Donald Trump called the shooter a horrible person, and comments
made to reporters at the White House. I don't know
if he was on the roof at the time.
Speaker 3 (41:32):
And the FBI also has some investigative capacity. Yeah, man,
I don't know what's up with that.
Speaker 1 (41:39):
But well, the one guy, I just think he thought
he was gonna I think he thought he was Jason
Bourne or something, because whatever they have him doing, you know,
rake and dirt or working at whatever, he's.
Speaker 3 (41:51):
Just not pleased with. And so this is.
Speaker 1 (41:55):
I understand that motivation. I don't know why you showed
it to a military based shoot five people there? Right,
how do I say his name again? The butcher it again,
Quara Nellis, I don't know why you make that choice.
All right, seven to fifteen here on the KCO Day
radio program, let me grab a quick phone called Joel.
What's up?
Speaker 2 (42:16):
Hey?
Speaker 4 (42:17):
Yeah, ca see, I wanted to talk about actually both
of the both of the situations jeral cruck One. I
heard on the news this morning that the I'm retired
chief won off some maintenance one officer, so I'm very
familiar with the m one Abrams platform. But talking about
the soldier who shot the other five soldiers, his dad
claimed he experienced racism that Fort Stewart recently. So anyway,
(42:37):
he just processed that like however, you need to but
go figure that. But anyway, but the other issue the soldier,
the stuff that he could have passed to the Russians
that they wouldn't have pretty much Google access to and
all doesn't have to do with the power trains, which
is the whole part, which is what drives the turbine
engine and transmission stuffing like that, but he could pass
(42:59):
off that classified slight secret information has to do with
the guns, particularly the optics, the updated optics with the gun,
the gun sights.
Speaker 1 (43:10):
To operational uses, I think is what they said in
the story.
Speaker 4 (43:13):
Yeah, but that's the only thing I could think of,
because again, uh, you know, I've been out of the
game for decades now. But that's the only thing that
with that isn't uh. I guess public knowledge or public
access would be to do with the with the gun,
particularly with the turret, the gun, the gun aspects of it.
Speaker 3 (43:31):
Doesn't this sound like a guy, that's all I does.
Speaker 1 (43:33):
This sound like a guy who's board doing what he's doing,
and because he wants to be a you know, he
thought this would be more espionage because he's the one
who reached out to the Russians party of the authorities.
Speaker 4 (43:42):
It's so well, and that's exactly right. I agree with
you on that. Somebody too much time on my hand
and watch one too many movies and thought they would
be uh, I guess a secret secret agent man or
something I don't rightly know, but anyway, yeah, so anyway, yes, sir,
I'm gonna hang up now.
Speaker 1 (43:59):
Listenppreciate the call there, Joel, because that's kind of how
I suspected it was, like, you know, this isn't this
isn't the stealth bomber back in the you know, well,
we're just catching.
Speaker 3 (44:08):
Glimpses of it.
Speaker 1 (44:09):
Everyone knows about the Abrams and the mechanical tag specs
or like we left Abrams in Afghanistan. Talvan have him,
so if the Russians want to look at him, I
know the Talvan and the Russians have a difficult relationship, but.
Speaker 3 (44:23):
It's not gonna be that hard. Uh, and Andrew, what's up.
Speaker 4 (44:28):
Hey, Casey?
Speaker 11 (44:28):
Yeah, regarding your question with the dui thing in the army,
so it kind of depends, but you can absolutely get
kicked out. You can get demoted at his rank as
a sergeant. You can get demoted. You almost always get
a general officer memorandum of reprimand, which essentially kneecaps your
career right where you're at and you'll never get promote again.
(44:49):
So he was pretty much military wise, kind of kind
of screwed in it. Things can be worse or better
for you depending on if you get the duy outside
the gates versus if the MP's give you one, because
then the army can be limited based on double jeffardy stuff.
Speaker 3 (45:04):
So is it better to get one outside the gate
or inside the gate?
Speaker 4 (45:09):
Uh?
Speaker 11 (45:10):
Well, if you're better is a hard hard word to use.
Speaker 3 (45:15):
Choose one.
Speaker 1 (45:15):
I'm just saying if it happens, which.
Speaker 11 (45:17):
If you get if you get one outside the gate,
then you can't be demoted because it would be like
a double punishment. But you're still going to get a gomar,
and you essentially recapped your career.
Speaker 3 (45:29):
What if you're drunk and you wave through the slalom
of the concrete things there, crashed through the gate, and
now you're on the base, then you're just done right.
Speaker 11 (45:38):
I'm sorry, Casey, I lost it.
Speaker 1 (45:40):
So you were drunk driving outside and then you you
didn't stop and you proceeded to crash through the gate
arms onto the base. So now you were drunk driving
in both or I bring up something too specific.
Speaker 3 (45:55):
I don't know. That guy has no time for your buffoonery.
I know, I'm.
Speaker 1 (45:59):
Asking that's actually was legit.
Speaker 3 (46:01):
That was interesting.
Speaker 1 (46:02):
He says, if you got it on the base, if
you got off the base, then they can't charge you
with the thing on the base because double jeopardy, which
I guess kind of makes sense. But a lot of
times military punishment is hand in hand with civilian punishment
if people do stuff outside. So I don't know, I
would Here's what I would recommend. Don't drive drunk, Well
(46:22):
you shouldn't drive drunk, but especially don't drive drunk going
in and out.
Speaker 3 (46:25):
Of military basis.
Speaker 1 (46:28):
You e a ross you ever entered a military base,
have like a visitor's pass to get on there for
something if you had that chance, were you're not supposed
to be there, Like it's uh, it's an interesting it's
an interesting little process.
Speaker 3 (46:41):
Man, Like, Ah, this is cool. I've I've been on
and off basis. I've stayed on bases. I was mentioned.
Speaker 1 (46:46):
I went down for a retirement ceremony for one of
our friends from Seymour, and I stayed at the motel
literally on the base there, and then I got the
ladder party, which was outside the base. I got back
to late and to turn into a whole thing, and
then I had to have like escorts to take me
from the gate to the hotel, which I could see
(47:07):
to make sure I didn't I guess, I don't know,
go raid the armory or whatever. So but it was interesting.
It was just an interesting experience. But yeah, that's why
we asked these questions. I know, we got a lot
of current and former active duty military. Uh, Cam, what's up?
Oh wait, hold on, hold on, let me get the
right button. Here here we go, Cam, what's going on?
Speaker 2 (47:31):
Case? Yeah, I was just feeling ross.
Speaker 3 (47:34):
Back in the day.
Speaker 2 (47:35):
Over in the western part of Italy, we had a flagship,
the whole flag ship for the Atlantic Fleet.
Speaker 5 (47:43):
Well they were always there was always somebody looking for
Stuley to come out there and give him a whole
bunch of information. Well, just like Joel said, he was
serving back in probably at the same time, in the
same whole war.
Speaker 4 (48:00):
Yeah, so so.
Speaker 1 (48:05):
But you know, I would expect them sitting around bars
at like ports, you know, ports of leave and whatnot
like that, or we might have a joint basis and
inspector gadget looking at the little ranking dude about on
the abrams for stuff. It sounds like they didn't ask
him for it. He came and was trying to provide it.
Speaker 2 (48:22):
So yeah, I was approached by some inspect your gadget
looking dude wearing a full lengths uh uh, you know,
spy man's coat with with with his derby on, and
he was all he was all real cool, right, He
asked me, He said, is that is that.
Speaker 6 (48:38):
Ship out there?
Speaker 2 (48:40):
Guy that missiles? Is it a guy that missile cruiser?
I said, well, it's got CZ on the side of it,
so I supposed, yeah, it's probably it's probably a guy.
Speaker 1 (48:50):
I tell you to report that to your chain of
command if anybody asked anything, because maybe it's just a tourist, who's.
Speaker 2 (48:57):
If it's uh, if it's somebody.
Speaker 1 (48:59):
That inspector gadgety.
Speaker 5 (49:03):
Yeah that way, you know, it looked like they really an.
Speaker 2 (49:07):
Idiot, a psycho, or somebody that's really trying to get information.
If it's something that is not classified, you want to
tell them that tell them whatever information they're looking for,
and then cfl is continue asking questions. Gotcha, that's what
that's the protocol back then. So but then I went
to tell the office of the deck immediately what was
(49:28):
going on and the description of the suspect.
Speaker 1 (49:31):
I don't mean to cut you out. I got ten
seconds and it's going to force me to go to
break back.
Speaker 3 (49:34):
That's kind of how I expected.
Speaker 1 (49:35):
Look, I appreciate the call this one, thank you very much. Yeah, yeah,
but maybe don't dress like a spy. Would be spy
one A one, but I'm not a spy or am
I We'll be back. So here's the crux of the article.
Not going to read the whole thing to you, but
you got to know some backgrounds. So, uh, when did
that even happen? Was like what six months ago or something?
I can never tell. Time moves differently in radio stories
(49:58):
now I've never were able to pinpoint it exactly, but
you probably remember the story where Israel had a coordinated attack.
They clearly had been years in the making, years of
the making, and I say years, I mean going back
to twenty fifteen. And in the article they document how
(50:23):
Israel's intelligence service was able to essentially over time take over,
so they had control of the product moving through there
the supply chain for various pieces of equipment that were
then went to Hesbelah and Hamas and other places. Okay,
And once they controlled the supply chain, they waited and
(50:45):
then a deal came up. And the deal was that
Hesbelah needed a bunch of pagers, activation pagers for.
Speaker 3 (50:51):
All their little terrorist dudes.
Speaker 1 (50:53):
And so you get the page and then whatever the
code was on the page, you look at it and
be like, okay, time to go kill them whatever. And
so they saw their opportunity and they sold them a bunch.
Speaker 3 (51:07):
Of these pagers. What the terrorist people did not know
is the pagers had built in explosives.
Speaker 1 (51:16):
And so when the big page went out, when they
decided to do it, they sent it out and it
was a really, really important one. So everyone dutifully grabbed
their pagers and looked at him. They gave him a
moment to get them and then blew them up. And
it killed a bunch of people, disfigured people sometimes, and
this is the sad part of it sometimes. And I
(51:37):
know there's one documented incidents of this. They claimed that
there was a bunch, but I've seen one that I
believe where one of the terrorists, dirt Bag's daughter literally
was holding it. You had it around there, she saw
it going off, she grabbed it. I guess he didn't
get it in time, and then I don't know that
it killed her though. So yeah, and then people got mad,
(52:00):
They're like, oh, how could they do this? This is discriminate. No,
this is the least discriminate, arguably of anything where you
just don't go physically do it yourself. This is much
less discriminate than lab and a missile into an apartment complex.
And uh, it looked pretty good. The problem is is
(52:21):
the long term this associated president, the long term physical
and psychological remnants from that attack.
Speaker 3 (52:32):
What do you mean by that?
Speaker 1 (52:35):
Oh, I'm sorry. The guy who thought he'd be a
terrorist for a few years and then when his uh,
you know, his knees started to hurt, he'd go into modeling.
I'm sorry that that career opportunity is not there for
him because half his.
Speaker 3 (52:47):
Face is missing. Right, So you're telling me that the
terrorist is afraid that things might randomly blow up. That's
the psycha they're gonna get in there.
Speaker 1 (52:54):
And so the psychological part is now they don't trust
a lot of these electronic devices.
Speaker 3 (52:58):
Oh no, can you get yeah, manage being fearful of
things blowing up? That'd be terrifying.
Speaker 1 (53:03):
Yeah, it would be if you had to every day
wonder someone's gonna blow up on.
Speaker 3 (53:07):
Yeah, And just the thing that there's like this group
focused on just like you know, scaring you all the time.
That's crazy. M m mm hmm.
Speaker 1 (53:16):
Imagine this guy's wife gets an air fier and it's
just some deal comes home.
Speaker 3 (53:19):
I brought up bought a new.
Speaker 1 (53:21):
Air Fryer's like, let me get that out of the house. Like,
he can never have delicious air fried anything.
Speaker 3 (53:26):
Right, He's going to completely change the way you live
being scared like that all the time.
Speaker 1 (53:31):
Not wanting to have a like I understand when I
have less electronics in your life. Some people make that decision.
That's the beauty of a cabin with no cell service.
But like that's a you problem, buddy. It's like you
hear about like like pedophiles that go to prison and
they're scared they're gonna get raped. Right yeah, Oh, must
be horrifying. Man, don't want that?
Speaker 2 (53:53):
What was it?
Speaker 3 (53:53):
Oh? And they're also I love this line too. Hold on,
this is my favorite line.
Speaker 1 (53:58):
H Not only do this real parton sees the supply chain,
they also sold the pagers to them and profit them. No, okay,
you had to put in the Jewish money thing, right?
Speaker 3 (54:09):
Is that what you're going for a reporter?
Speaker 1 (54:11):
Don't you think it would have looked a lot weirder
if they had some duties like let me give you
all these free pagers and by the way, if they
charge them normal pager cost, but I'm sure they do.
I don't know if they have a bids process for
terrorist orgs. They are really organized. Do The funniest thing
to this day with terrorists intelligence is when they rated
(54:33):
the HR headquarters of al Shabab in Mexico the Al
Qaeda operative shootoff, and they had like HR files on
their terrorists and performance reviews.
Speaker 3 (54:46):
Think about how that goes at your work? And then
one day. I don't know.
Speaker 1 (54:51):
One day, you're you're at ied making a factory or
whatever whatever your means of service to your terrorist org is,
and like, hey, Mohammed Muhammad. Then HR wants to talk
to you. Oh man, what did I do? You got
to go in there. And when you walk into HR,
if it's just the HR person, you're probably okay. But
if it's the HR person and another person who's in
(55:12):
the chain of command, that's when you got to be
on your toes because it takes two to terminate at
a lot of companies. So piece of advice for you. Yeah,
they had like they had performance reviews, and I remember
reading some of the transfer or the translated transcripts and
they're just they were just so like, yeah, he doesn't
show a lot of initiative. Holy crap, man, Really do
(55:39):
you think they have.
Speaker 3 (55:39):
Sizzle reels, ross and endless meetings about uh uh?
Speaker 1 (55:45):
You know a company Rara meetings. I guess they do
in big circles outside for the Hoothy's.
Speaker 3 (55:50):
So that didn't work out for them.
Speaker 1 (55:51):
But yeah, so uh anyway, No, you got to sell
him this stuff? What do you Oh, they sold it
to him, right, there's just this money to pay for
the explosives and the the Yeah, pay somebody to put
them in there.
Speaker 3 (56:04):
They probably lost money on it. They expected like some
sort of like you know, free pager bind in the
center of the bizarre. Like what are they thinking, Oh,
now they probably can't go to the bizarre. Oh my god,
now you can't go out to where you love to go. Yeah,
it's scary again, man, terrifying, It's very terrifying. Yeah, things
might blow up there. Ah.
Speaker 1 (56:21):
Can you imagine having to live like that? It'd be
the worst.
Speaker 3 (56:25):
AnyWho.
Speaker 1 (56:26):
So in twenty thirteen, they broke her the deal to
sell them the booby pad booby trapped pagers, and as
a result, HESBLA ended up indirectly paying Israel.
Speaker 7 (56:36):
Ah.
Speaker 1 (56:38):
Again, I think you probably still got a deal on
the pagers because like there's a pager which, by the way,
what look, did you order an old school pager on
Amazon for a buck.
Speaker 3 (56:47):
Shipping?
Speaker 1 (56:48):
Does we want to be all nostalgic?
Speaker 3 (56:50):
Do they?
Speaker 1 (56:50):
I guess they do sell pagers still, but but a
pager that's upgraded to the latest model with a little
bit of C four and and all of that.
Speaker 3 (57:04):
Like they they passed. They they ate the cost of that, so.
Speaker 1 (57:07):
In a way, you got a deal there, and I'm
sorry your hand modeling career is not gonna work out
because you don't have hands anymore.
Speaker 3 (57:15):
Which is not fair. Ross.
Speaker 1 (57:16):
I'm just thinking about why is the hand modeling industry
so biased? You ever wondered about that? Do you see
a lot of people working in the hand modeling industry
they don't have hands or like maybe they have one
finger a little hook thing going on. I've never seen that.
Speaker 3 (57:32):
It's very rare even to see like a callous Yeah,
why has that not been integrated yet?
Speaker 1 (57:37):
Dude, that would be the funniest woke uh you know,
like I would actually work that on just for the
sure humor of it, you know what I'm saying. Because
they already took over the Victoria's Secret Models, you know
what I mean, and the Miss America or the pageants
and stuff.
Speaker 3 (57:51):
Right, it's just like somebody like modeling a watch or something,
but they have like a hook.
Speaker 1 (57:55):
Yeah it's an Omega with a hook or a Rolex
with uh you know, uh, two and a half fingers.
Why have we not seen that? Don't they want to
be diverse? You do this with the foot models too.
Some guy got the he's a foot model, and then
the diabetes.
Speaker 3 (58:15):
Now he doesn't have a foot, the black mister Deed's foot.
Speaker 1 (58:18):
It just shows the shoe sitting there and they're like, no, no,
that's Mark. He's he's her foot model. He didn't have
a foot, so we couldn't put it on there. But
know that he's here. Yeah, yeah, yeah, dude, this is
that might be a new side.
Speaker 2 (58:33):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (58:33):
We need we need more frost bitten feet.
Speaker 1 (58:36):
That's all I'm saying. Why is it always pretty feet?
It's uh man, it's a it's a hustle right there.
Somebody's got to break the glass on or whatever.
Speaker 3 (58:48):
All right, is raceagic ready to go? Yop yo? What's up? Oh?
Speaker 1 (58:54):
I don't know, we're just uh. I was reading some
sad stories from the AP doing today.
Speaker 3 (58:58):
Man.
Speaker 12 (59:00):
Okay, okay, you know Ben better, Ben worse up kind
of kind of the porridge is just right.
Speaker 1 (59:06):
But you know, yesterday it was a weird day because
I haven't texted Ross, and I was curious what was
going on Lake Forest way too, because I've seeing all
these things and it's like either you got to you
got some rain and everything was fine, or a sinkle.
Speaker 3 (59:16):
Tried to eat you.
Speaker 9 (59:17):
Yeah, there's that, or.
Speaker 1 (59:19):
Flooding or the giant tree went down a crab tree
and they had to cut down part and jammed up
on the traffic yesterday.
Speaker 3 (59:25):
So yeah, it was rad are we talking with this?
Speaker 12 (59:29):
It wasn't very widespread yesterday, and you know, really with
the trees down and everything, it was more a function
of not severe storms. I mean officially there's no official
wind reports. It was really because of all the rainfall,
you got weaken root systems, and any breeze or anything
like that that stays below severe criteria sixty miles an
hour causes things like that.
Speaker 9 (59:51):
So you got weak root systems by all the rain.
Speaker 12 (59:53):
And yeah, I'm even surprised by you know, a little
rain that's kind of hanging around this morning.
Speaker 9 (59:58):
I mean we figured we'd have some.
Speaker 12 (01:00:00):
But what's going on basically in a line from about
just south of Danville to Greensboro, Winston Salem and into
the Triangle right now has been pretty persistent. It's not heavy,
there's no warnings or flash flood warnings, but it's enough
to be a nuisance. And I think we'll continue to
see areas of rain and showers today. I to get
temperatures back up, but really haven't had much luck. Still
(01:00:22):
could approach maybe eighty degrees in some spots. I think
most of us are going to stay in the seventies.
Rain chances whether us tomorrow a little less in the weekend,
I think is going to be decent, better than we
have had. Very low rain Chantes Day, Saturday, Sunday, maybe
a little mile there, low to middle eighties. And by
next week we'll talk about Raleigh, especially trying to get
back to the ninety degree heat by about Tuesday. So
(01:00:44):
summer is going to come back. We'll just have to
deal with the cooler temperatures I think most people have
enjoyed and some rain here and there. I think today
is the best chance over the next four days. The
weekend does look like it is going to be better.
Not bright and sunny, but kind of a cloud sun
mix with some hit miss showers and thud storms each afternoon.
Speaker 1 (01:01:03):
Just a preview this time tomorrow, Ross Ray, What song
are you guys working on for tomorrow? Ross picks them
and Ray plays them.
Speaker 3 (01:01:09):
What do we what do we doing? I'm kind of like, well,
let me about it, because every time let me.
Speaker 12 (01:01:16):
Do this, it's gonna make it easier for me if
we do nineteen eighties pop. I'm just gonna give you
a little hint. Yeah, no, it can helps me out, okay,
just because then I only have to learn one song
and it can multi players trying to push it. No, no, no,
I'm going to make people try to try to figure
out what it is, more like a like.
Speaker 3 (01:01:35):
A hate name.
Speaker 12 (01:01:37):
Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, okay, yeah of course, because you don't.
Speaker 3 (01:01:41):
Do anything that's fantastic.
Speaker 9 (01:01:42):
Yeah, so this way he doesn't.
Speaker 3 (01:01:44):
Yeah, so this.
Speaker 1 (01:01:45):
You can see if you can tell what Ray's playing right, right,
And we won't make it real. You just you just
have to know that you you got it, because you
could do bragging rights.
Speaker 9 (01:01:56):
It could be what you'd be like, I won the
I won the Accordion.
Speaker 3 (01:02:00):
Yes, if you try to rickroll us, I dude, yeah,
like there were some Rick Astley there.
Speaker 4 (01:02:08):
Man.
Speaker 3 (01:02:08):
Yeah, I don't do that.
Speaker 9 (01:02:10):
No, no, no, no, I wouldn't do that.
Speaker 3 (01:02:11):
I'm sure you wouldn't.
Speaker 1 (01:02:14):
He's gonna do it, all right, Well, we'll find out.
I honestly, Ross and I have no idea, or I
have no idea.
Speaker 3 (01:02:18):
Maybe Ross does, but we'll.
Speaker 1 (01:02:20):
Find out tomorrow and we'll talk to you in about
an hour.
Speaker 3 (01:02:23):
Thank you about it? Yep, all right, there you go.
Speaker 1 (01:02:25):
Race Agic from the Man of Mystery, Race Tagic from
the Weather Channel. Did you guys coordinate something?
Speaker 3 (01:02:31):
No, but I still like how he does the whole Yeah. Yeah,
And then they're gonna be rain today. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:02:38):
If you're not punching your mic at your little semi
home studio things, what are you even doing radio? That's
the that's the question. All right, seven forty eight hangout.
We went up here in about ten minutes. We'll chat
with Stephen Kent, our official NERD correspondent, as we do.
But a couple of things to get your way, all right.
So US Customs and Border Protection decided they had that
(01:03:01):
we're going to do a trojan horse thing, and a
bunch of people are mad. So here's what they did.
They rented a Penske rental truck, you know the yellow
yellow trucks, the yellower orange. You're yellowish orange, right, like
a orangish yellow. Anyway, you know the trucks. And they
showed up at a home depot in Los Angeles, roll
(01:03:23):
open the back of the truck and.
Speaker 3 (01:03:27):
But they had pulled up to where the guys were
all waiting and then when the when the when the.
Speaker 1 (01:03:31):
Back of the truck opens, it's full of agents and
they then proceed to make arrest. All told, they rested
sixteen individuals, and then everyone's like someone started like bombing
on on the social media Penske's account, and I saw
people reporting that Penske was they issued a statement, and
(01:03:52):
they're all woke and blah blah blah blah blah.
Speaker 3 (01:03:54):
That's not kind of how I read this.
Speaker 1 (01:03:58):
Penske did issue a statement because people we're demanding it
on social media, But the statement basically says that people
who rent our trucks, it says in the agreement that
people are not supposed to ride in the back of
the trucks. So it's like a reiteration of their terms
of service. I think Penske just wants nothing to do
(01:04:18):
with this, because I got people are like, oh, I've
never read a Penske on both sides where it's like,
but I don't know that that statement was a a
woke statement as it's being described. It basically just said
we've been in contact with DHS to remind them that
you know, there there's a user agreement if you rent
our trucks. People are not allowed to ride in the
back of the truck, which is pretty standard. I'm sure
(01:04:40):
it's the same way for U haul. It's been a
minute since I rented one or even read.
Speaker 3 (01:04:43):
The tos, but yeah, yeah, I just think they don't
want to be in the middle of this sandgradade.
Speaker 1 (01:04:50):
And I don't blame them, but also kind of smart
get a rental truck A lot of people, you know,
you go the home deepot, you can rent how many
rush you ever rent the truck from home depot just
to move something, even if you weren't buying anything at
home Depot, I know, but I thought about it before
I've done it. Man, it's super cost effective. It's like
(01:05:11):
twenty you know, it was a twenty nine ninety I
don't even know what it is now. I think it
was nineteen ninety five when I rented it. One time,
I had to move something and I couldn't fit I
had the tahoe at the time and it just wasn't
gonna fit in there.
Speaker 3 (01:05:20):
I needed the open the open bed. Didn't want to
bug one of my buddies.
Speaker 1 (01:05:24):
Twenty bucks got the one out, capital moved the thing,
brought it back a couple hours later downright affordable.
Speaker 3 (01:05:31):
Yeah, I found it best to just try to fit
it into the back of the mining vent at the time,
or just bungee cord whatever it is in the top
of it and just scare everybody in front of them
while while I'm driving down the highway that you don't
have the best cort.
Speaker 1 (01:05:40):
You can also get two friends all right right with
the windows down to hold it, yes, and if you
needed somebody to lay on the mattress or whatever it
is you're moving.
Speaker 3 (01:05:48):
And the best part is people will just stay away
from you on the.
Speaker 1 (01:05:51):
Highway, absolutely don't want anything to do with you. So no,
it has a lot of extra added benefits there, so
uh win. But yeah, so you can read that statement,
I guess however you want. But I just see it
as Penske just really upset that all of a sudden
they have to get into this at all. I think
(01:06:13):
it's that's that just seemed like a really innocuous statement
to me. And we got a whole crazy bucket of
stories we got to get into about pop culture, the Internet, games,
technology and everything else.
Speaker 3 (01:06:26):
Then we we got to Stephen Kent, are NERD correspondent
to help us sift through. How you doing, sir, I'm
all right good to here? Come yeah, all right, for
I get to the more serious stuff. I was just
reading this crazy story on Kataku this morning, which I
think you don't have to use the word crazy if
it's a story from Kataku, right, you need to say
Kataku story is probably gonna be weird, but it's.
Speaker 1 (01:06:46):
Not weird because of them this time. So there's that
apparently there.
Speaker 3 (01:06:51):
I didn't I was unfamiliar with this because I'm not
a big Pokemon guy.
Speaker 1 (01:06:55):
Are you into Pokemon at?
Speaker 9 (01:06:56):
Oh?
Speaker 6 (01:06:57):
Yeah, you know when I was twelve and I got
into the initial wave of Pokemon Go. But that's that's
not all.
Speaker 1 (01:07:04):
Pikachu you felt was missing as a characters, you know,
us like.
Speaker 6 (01:07:10):
A little little bit more junk in the trunk, you know.
Speaker 3 (01:07:13):
No.
Speaker 1 (01:07:14):
No, According to some exchanges between Nintendo of America and
what is the whatever the Japanese company is that does
Pokemon when they were collabing for the purpose of the games,
it's like going back, you know, twenty five thirty years
right as one of the executs, Nintendo of America suggested
that Pokemon's main character Pikachu didn't look right and needed
(01:07:42):
quote more of a backstory as well as there's a
frame for this called a term of this called mooney
mooney m u n e and that word, when translated
means giant hoots.
Speaker 6 (01:08:00):
Bazingas. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:08:03):
Now they're claiming that some people use it to refer
to as giant pecks, you know, like a chiseled chest.
But most of the time people are rejecting that excuse.
And you know, Japanese companies thirty years ago, they were
putting big hoots on everything.
Speaker 3 (01:08:19):
Man, Yeah, that's the thing.
Speaker 6 (01:08:22):
So oh boy, I never imagined a sexualized Pikachu. That's
that's pretty special. You know, there's a couple of different
franchises that I think really did go down this road,
like Pokemon really went just all in on cute pets.
You know, it was like, what were those little things
(01:08:43):
that in the nineties kids were raising. Tom Agatchi's yes,
pretty much that I think Digimon and then Yu Gi
oh stepped into this void where people's you know, cards
and their collectible characters and the monsters that they had
man's over we're more humanoid. And of course there were
you know, pretty ones and handsome ones and all that
(01:09:06):
kind of stuff, and bodily features, and I think they
filled that void. I'm shocked to hear this. I don't
think Pikachu needs double d's.
Speaker 1 (01:09:16):
Yeah, quite specifically, the recommendation was in the email or
the exchange. I don't know if it was an email
that they would prefer the Pikachu was redrawn or redesigned.
Is quote more of a cute cabby cat with huge
you know those?
Speaker 3 (01:09:34):
So yeah, maybe.
Speaker 1 (01:09:37):
They were psychic and they saw what of the all
the stuff Sidney Sweeney's getting now, and they're like, hey,
you get ahead of this.
Speaker 6 (01:09:44):
Pikachu has good teens. I do know that for sure.
Ash Ketchum has good teens. You know, he's a he's
a denim wearing guy.
Speaker 3 (01:09:51):
Well, I'm sure what is the second thing? I don't
know the rest of them?
Speaker 6 (01:09:57):
As Ketchum, Yeah, ask Ketchum is his Yes, of course,
his master. Is that what he's called his master?
Speaker 3 (01:10:05):
Dude? Ash catch him sounds like, well, I'm not even
gonna describe what that sounds like. But I thought she
said that ass instead of Ash, so I got very confused.
I'm like, that sounds like a pikachuw direct adult film
or something.
Speaker 6 (01:10:16):
Man right, Well, coming to you next year from Nintendo.
Speaker 3 (01:10:21):
Dude, it's all creeping me out. I had not, like
I we talked about the story of the woman who
was like, I'm gonna use AI to help raise my kid.
We kind of did that.
Speaker 1 (01:10:31):
I told you about this really weird thing I saw
up in New York. I think it was the local
one local New York stations where they were they were
talking to the It was mostly women, there was one dude,
and they were highlighting people who literally spend all day
talking to their AI companion right on conversations. You get advised,
but it's mostly just chatty stuff. And I was I
(01:10:52):
thought that was weird. And then yesterday, because I do
not have the upgraded x Ross was explaining how creepy
is the virtual not virtual the yeah, the virtual companion.
I guess what do you ever want to call it
through there?
Speaker 3 (01:11:07):
Yeah? Because it is.
Speaker 1 (01:11:09):
And I had thought at one point, I get bored
on a weekend and I see what was up with
these And now I don't know that I want to
I'm gonna play some audio for the audience, like this thing,
this this trollop is clearly hitting on ross every step
of the way. The innuendo the implied sexu outy. I've
heard several different things where she says stuff and it's
(01:11:32):
just really weird.
Speaker 3 (01:11:33):
But here's here's a little sample.
Speaker 13 (01:11:35):
Hello, look who's here? Just the person I was hoping
to see. Now sit Annie will make your day shine?
Speaker 3 (01:11:46):
Yeah, and she means it too, by the way. And
there's some other stuff I heard where it's like there's
no response from her that I didn't feel that there
was innuendo laced into it. And you know, people, look
at are we doomed? What are we doing here?
Speaker 6 (01:12:03):
Yeah? This is this is a mess.
Speaker 3 (01:12:08):
You know.
Speaker 6 (01:12:09):
First of all, I just don't like the Elon Musk
promotes this kind of stuff. This is a good reminder
like how weird sort of the Republican Party coalition is gone.
Where this guy was, you know, operating at the highest
levels within the Republican circles and running around with the
president and then, by the way, like pushing very like
softcore porny ai on Twitter to all of his followers
(01:12:35):
and admirers. It's it's just very strange, and I think
he fully embraces the sort of dystopian element of futurism.
Speaker 3 (01:12:44):
I do too.
Speaker 1 (01:12:45):
What do you think the net long term, because it's
easy to say the guy's falling and we're gonna end
up in one of those situations where everyone they never
leave their house. They have like an ornate VR chair
and they just sit in all day Ready Player one right.
Speaker 3 (01:12:58):
Exactly, And like, I mean, are we there?
Speaker 1 (01:13:02):
I I is it a net positive for fixing what
seems to be an issue about relationships in this country
regardless of how you think we got here.
Speaker 3 (01:13:09):
Marriage rates, birth rates are plumiting. Absolutely, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:13:14):
Is this further that or is this something that's just
gonna be niche because at the end of the day,
a human is still better than this weird uh you
know Joaquin Phoenix her movie thing.
Speaker 6 (01:13:25):
You know. I I tend to be a little bit
of a doomer when it comes to this stuff. I
think it just by extension of you know, my my
Christian fate. I just don't really believe that the world
is on like a trajectory to get better.
Speaker 4 (01:13:40):
I believe things.
Speaker 6 (01:13:41):
Are going to get slightly more worse and morally dubious
over time and resulting in you know, like a second
coming of Christ, Like that's that's the foundation of the
world Christ?
Speaker 3 (01:13:52):
Or is it an ai Christ.
Speaker 6 (01:13:54):
Well, yeah, I mean they're gonna they're gonna probably try
it at it something.
Speaker 1 (01:13:58):
I'm gonna pivot to that, so I got a little
ahead of their ZI.
Speaker 3 (01:14:02):
Yeah thoughts, But I do.
Speaker 6 (01:14:04):
I do think that we are going to see a
future where, you know, when sex is commodified in this
sort of like very easy way using artificial intelligence, and
everybody can have exactly what they want. I think you
are going to have a very sedentary, cooped up society,
mostly driven by young men who who show up with
this stuff and don't want to try out in the
(01:14:25):
real world. I think it's going to be a mass
problem and there's some darker elements to that too, you know,
where you think about sort of the in cell movement
and some of its more violent elements. I think I
think you're going to have sort of this violent element
to that underground as well, and it's going to one
day become a real domestic problem. But that is my
(01:14:46):
most humor take that I'm going to say on the radio, going.
Speaker 1 (01:14:50):
Back to the AI Jesus is just hoping that that
sounds I actually I remember reading about a guy who
and he meant this for all the right reasons, and
and what he wanted is he thought that it would
behoove the church or churches or somebody. I don't know
if he was petitioning the Catholic Church for this, but
he wanted them to develop an interactable AI Jesus and
(01:15:12):
but with the purpose of then using that because it
can speak all these different languages, because it's AI of
being able to interact, influence and educate people on the
Christian faith. And it was weird because people either thought
it was a fantastic idea where they're like, it's all
fun and games till Jesus denies the Holocaust, right with
(01:15:32):
some of the glitches and stuff that I've seen there,
So like, I don't know, do you see Brazil is
charging espionage charges for some missionaries for leaving the recorded
audio of the Bible.
Speaker 6 (01:15:45):
That, yeah, I did see that. And there's a couple
of things going on here. I mean with one of
the things that I follow this YouTube channel called within Reason.
It's Alex O'Connor used to be a YouTuber called Cosmic Skeptic.
He basically is it's like an atheist YouTuber. And he
interviewed a AI chatbot called Justin, who is an AI apologist,
(01:16:08):
so a Christian Catholic apologist who can basically answer like
any question about the Bible and give explanations about different
passages and theology. And and this is the route that
I think is perfectly acceptable. Use of AI is just
you know, third party bots that you know, know a
lot about the Bible and can answer questions. But as
soon as you go down the route of having AI
(01:16:31):
AI Jesus, you are I mean, we are, we are
in a.
Speaker 3 (01:16:34):
Dark full disclosure. They're just like because.
Speaker 6 (01:16:38):
It's not fun, it's not funny, it's not cute.
Speaker 3 (01:16:41):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:16:42):
I again, I'm so on the fence with it because
I understand that the guy's motives are he wants, you know,
he wants to be a professor of his faith, like
he wants he wants to take that route. How can
we get this to people? And if you have a
digital thing too, you know, it's a lot of it's
a lot different than smuggling stuff in the North you
remember in the smuggle dvase in the North Korea, Right.
Speaker 6 (01:17:02):
Yeah, But but there's a huge difference and there's a
there's a slippery slope here where like Christians could become
like Muslims, and freak out over a depiction of Jesus,
And you know, we don't do that the way that
they that they do about Mohammad, Like that's just not
a thing that we do. But I think there is
a degree of difference between doing a blasphemous like cartoon
(01:17:22):
of Jesus or drawing of Jesus uh and then having
a conversational depiction of Christ who can who can draw
on all of his wisdom and put that out because
because human beings don't, we're not good at drawing lines
between those two things, fact and fiction and reality. Uh,
you're going to have people who turn to this bot
(01:17:44):
rather than pick up the word itself in the Bible,
and that's just really dangerous.
Speaker 1 (01:17:50):
Yeah, well we further descend into sodom. I was familiar
with what a little Tay was like back in the
day when she was much younger. I don't know if
you had any running knowledge of her, just because a
couple of times she ended up kind of viral, just
due to the fact that she make these videos which
she was like ten, but they had the vibe of
a rapper showing his fat stacks, and it was just
(01:18:11):
it was just very different watching Okay, So she turned
eighteen like a few days ago, and at twelve oh
one am she popped an OnlyFans account and then populated
content on it, which now that's a math problem right there,
and then she proceeded to get rich immediately. And it
reminded me of the Doctor phil check back in the day,
(01:18:34):
the Doctor philschick, which turned eighteen, would have just went
to work at a strip club, right, that would have
That's how that would have panned out. But this one
is so much creepier because one there's one hundred thousand
dudes ready to go. Clearly the content had to be
produced before she was mathematically eighteen, and and she'd been
thinking about it and that I saw an interview with
(01:18:54):
her dad, and her dad's like, you know what, she's
an adult now, and I just know she's going to
be successful in whatever she does.
Speaker 3 (01:19:00):
That's his response.
Speaker 4 (01:19:03):
Yeah, you know, whatever makes.
Speaker 6 (01:19:04):
You happy and whatever makes you wealthy.
Speaker 1 (01:19:07):
Yeah, Like, we're so gratuitous. Got to have it now, society,
which is it? Yeah, we see evidence in technology, we've
never had it easier technologically, and yet this is this
is one of the parts of it. So like, but
how do you guard it. There's nothing you can really do.
Speaker 6 (01:19:21):
Right, No, there's nothing you can do. And again, like
you're talking about this young girl, she earned one million
dollars and three hours, I mean, and we are up
against just this massive cultural conflict here where we're going
to have to convince people and young women and our
(01:19:44):
daughters that this is is not the way. You know,
three hours, one million dollars. There are a lot of
people out there who are going to fall for that
kind of thinking, you know, thinking that they can pull
off the same thing, right, and we're going to we're
going to we're gonna find ourselves in a really dark place.
And that's usually when people start shouting for government to
(01:20:06):
do something about it. And that is what happens when
we failed to do our.
Speaker 4 (01:20:11):
Part at home.
Speaker 1 (01:20:11):
So yeah, now, now the part where it clearly had
to have been filmed before, I don't know. That may
screw her up. That might screw her up. We had
a case where a guy was charged because he had
portrayals of an underage girl on his phone and that
was because he was like nineteen and she was seventeen,
(01:20:32):
and technically he received them when the year before, so
he was underage and they had been dating, and I
remember the.
Speaker 3 (01:20:38):
Guy got charged with that.
Speaker 1 (01:20:40):
He got charged with possession of child pornography. So it's like,
what a weird thing that this is not a thing
that I was ever sat down with my parents had to.
Speaker 6 (01:20:48):
Have a talk about.
Speaker 1 (01:20:49):
So that's where we find ourselves. Yeah, real quick, last
minute and a half. So the big, big, big, big
movie coming out next year or one of them is
they're doing the and everybody's attached to this. Everybody the
guy who played Punisher Matt damon Charlie's stir own.
Speaker 3 (01:21:06):
Is seriously I think.
Speaker 1 (01:21:09):
So I'm looking at the stat the thing I've been
following the h all the people. Is there some controversy
I'm hearing on this, what's the problem?
Speaker 6 (01:21:17):
Yeah, the controversy is mostly in the realm of speculation.
So we don't know who plays what role in Christopher
Nolans The Odyssey, and so you know, it's kind of
more conservative and I think culturally skeptical people online there
there's just a lot of like, oh, Zendaya's gonna be
(01:21:39):
zeus Lapita and then Yongo is gonna gonna play somebody
else that that person probably should. It's just like a
lot of paranoia about DEI approach to casting. This is
a very big cast, and we have Tom Hollands and
Dayah and halfway John Barnball, the Punisher, Charlie is their
own and so everybody's just kind of freaking out. Elliott Page,
(01:22:01):
isn't it too? Or you know the Elliott Page individual.
And so there's a lot of just skepticism about, you know,
if you're gonna have woke casting in the Odyssey. I
don't think so. And I don't think that that's a
reasonable assumption going into this movie, given Christopher Nolan's reputation
for quality filmmaking, and it's not like he's Leslie headlind
(01:22:21):
or something. This is not a woke director.
Speaker 2 (01:22:25):
You know, he makes good movies.
Speaker 6 (01:22:26):
I think we should give him the benefit of the doubt.
Speaker 1 (01:22:29):
Yeah, I've enjoyed a lot of his movies over the years.
Speaker 3 (01:22:30):
I well, we'll wait and see.
Speaker 1 (01:22:32):
As me a little deeper into it. We got to
go for now. Steven, appreciate the time this morning.
Speaker 6 (01:22:35):
Okay, Casey, thanks so much.
Speaker 1 (01:22:37):
And we'll be right back. So any who, Yeah, we
got some stuff. We've got some stuff going on, you know,
in Denver. This was very interesting to me. Because if
you remember, there was some we had the Aurora, which
technically isn't Denver, but it's a separate city.
Speaker 3 (01:22:54):
But these things were permeating.
Speaker 1 (01:22:57):
But the video where you saw like the arm bang
of migrants going and collecting rent and that whole thing
was then we were told it wasn't happening, even though
there was video and it was clearly happening.
Speaker 3 (01:23:11):
So they've taken a pretty woke approach the City.
Speaker 1 (01:23:14):
Of Denver, the mayor. They're basically repurposed part of the
city's budget, which they're.
Speaker 3 (01:23:20):
Already in the end.
Speaker 1 (01:23:21):
They're already making cuts to it right now prior to
this h to basically for migrant services. And I remember
they pulled that out of law enforcement, which is very helpful.
So with all that in mind, they're in a cash
strap situation. They've had to prioritize this because these are
quote unforeseen costs, and yet I just found out that
(01:23:42):
this is a thing.
Speaker 3 (01:23:45):
Together. Let's take the Gay Games to New Heights.
Speaker 9 (01:23:48):
Denver is ready.
Speaker 2 (01:23:49):
Let's show the world that Colorado is a place where
we champion writes for all while creating a championship atmosphere
for every accident.
Speaker 3 (01:23:57):
Because we've got diversity. Out West. Let's make sure that
every kind of athlete and every kind of person participates.
Out West feels included. Out West. Let's go for the goal.
Out West. Be loud and proud, out West.
Speaker 9 (01:24:12):
Love who you want, out West, Come out as you
are out West, out West.
Speaker 1 (01:24:21):
But first of all, it's Mountain West. Colorado decided to
go do their own thing a number of years ago,
and they just call it out West, and I hate it,
and ever all your neighbors hate it. Well, it's dumb.
We're Mountain West, Mountain West. Because people. It's with people.
Sometimes when you say West, they think California. And the
(01:24:44):
last whenever I see a list where they they slice
the country up, like all right, here's the East Coast,
the Midwest, and the West, and it's like, you've got
to have that fourth one, because I promise you. While
there are some Californians that have infiltrated there in Colorado
is a good example. Montana, to some extent, the Western
(01:25:05):
United States is not that. Now here's the thing about
the gay Games, which.
Speaker 3 (01:25:13):
Why do you need this?
Speaker 1 (01:25:15):
Are gay athletes not allowed to take part in any
of our big Nashville Games? The answer of courses they
are both thing is weird and it's been subsidized there
by the city, so I guess you're gonna go ahead
and do that thing. And with the trans stuff. This
thing's the thirteenth Annie, which means this thing's been around
(01:25:37):
when we went through this era where they're so like, yeah, no,
if a dude from Algeria wants to punch a woman
in the face, we'll allow that. Of what we just
saw at the Olympics. And it's just the sports you
think it is. It's not some weird sports things, so
get that thought out of your mind. It's just people
who are LGBTQ plus blah blah blah plus whatever to
(01:26:00):
spirit can go do this rather than competing against the
other competitions, which they're more than welcome to compete. You
want to you want to go be the best slalom
skier in the world. Nobody cares your sexuality. I don't
know if you know this, Not a single person cares.
They just want to know that you can slalom really good,
(01:26:20):
or ski jump or you know whatever.
Speaker 3 (01:26:23):
It is.
Speaker 1 (01:26:23):
Getting away from the skiing stuff, just any of the
shot put or.
Speaker 3 (01:26:27):
The track stuff.
Speaker 1 (01:26:31):
I don't know, man, this is kind of interesting when you're.
Speaker 3 (01:26:35):
Saying that you're broke, that this is this is a
high priority, but okay, you're gonna have straight games.
Speaker 1 (01:26:44):
I mean what I mean, people lose their mind. And
I know that's the easy deflection point, but it it
This isn't nobody's been. Nobody's keeping gay people out of
participating in in any of these events that you would
have at the Olympics. Not a single person short of
a country which may have their own legality over whether
(01:27:04):
somebody can be openly homosexual. Other than that, nobody cares.
Speaker 3 (01:27:12):
I did see.
Speaker 1 (01:27:13):
I did see the other day Ross they were commemorating
they're talking about Olympics and they're commemorating big achievements, and
they were commemorating Caitlyn Jenner's to Kathleon when that's a
weird thing.
Speaker 3 (01:27:24):
Really. So when they're talking about the record, they said Kaitlyn,
they say Caitlyn, Yeah wow, And that's weird because I
understand the whole hey you can't dead name, but they're
not talking about now.
Speaker 1 (01:27:37):
They're talking about in whatever year that was a E
four I can't remember, but they're talking about whatever year
that was, when did cathlon win happened. They're not talking
about Kaitlyn Jenner as of late, talking about Bruce Jenner,
who was clearly Bruce Jenner said, Bruce Jenner, that's listed,
although they have an asterisk with the thing on the wiki,
(01:27:58):
but that's how it's listed.
Speaker 3 (01:28:01):
Yeah, dude, the whole.
Speaker 1 (01:28:02):
Thing is just super weird.
Speaker 3 (01:28:03):
Man.
Speaker 1 (01:28:05):
AnyWho, All right, let me uh get over to this.
Speaker 3 (01:28:13):
Sorry. I had this opening then I just closed it
for some reason cause I'm stupid, and that's what we do.
Speaker 1 (01:28:21):
Uh oh, let me say this down. And I'm thinking
about it real quick. The I know everyone's bagging on
because I saw the lines. They're all bagging on South Park.
They're like, how come when Barack Obama or Joe Biden
was in there, they never were negatively portrayed. They were
portrayed kind of, but they didn't go, you know, with
what they're doing with Trump right now.
Speaker 3 (01:28:43):
And I don't know that that's a for you thing.
I'll give the South Park guys a lot of latitude
because of what it is. And I don't know that
they've ever I don't know.
Speaker 1 (01:28:55):
I don't know if conscious decisions were made not to
but Donald Trump in the white suit with JD Vance
as tattoo is hilarious.
Speaker 3 (01:29:05):
Right, And it's not just JD Vance, it's JD.
Speaker 4 (01:29:07):
Van.
Speaker 3 (01:29:07):
It's like the Chubby gi it's the means tattoo. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:29:11):
Yeah, so they really lean into it. That's hilarious. And
then the Charlie Kirk thing they did with the parody
of Cartman going to the college campuses, handling his water
bottle the whole time while arguing with moonbats.
Speaker 3 (01:29:25):
That's funny as hell. I'm sorry it is. And I
don't know.
Speaker 1 (01:29:29):
Let me just tell you what if the next if
the next south Park episode showed up next week and
there was a cutaway shot and they were mocking Ross
and I that would be my avatar for on my
social media. I'm assuming Ross you would embrace it as well.
Speaker 3 (01:29:46):
It'd be amazing, wouldn't it? To be south parked? Is
that a term?
Speaker 1 (01:29:50):
I just coined that term? Who doesn't want to be
south parked? That would be a badge of honor. Man,
I want to be south Park, Ross wants to be
I should put words Ross, you want to be self parked?
Speaker 7 (01:30:02):
Uh?
Speaker 3 (01:30:02):
Yeah, they'd be amazing. That'd be amazing. So I don't know.
Speaker 1 (01:30:08):
But but also it's it's a little bit of a
reverse stress and effects. That sounds like they're going to lean
into this more, which maybe they were planning on anyway,
which I have no problem with. And yeah, should daughter
and Joe Biden should have been a thing on there probably.
Speaker 3 (01:30:24):
And you know, for whatever reason, they didn't do it.
Speaker 1 (01:30:26):
But it's not like they haven't roasted people on the
left on there too, and so he even if you
even if you go, well, they didn't do this, and
they maybe they didn't do it for politics. Uh, chunky
or chubby meme version of JD vance like two feet
tall next to Trumps tattooed the plane to plane that's hilarious,
(01:30:48):
and JD vancings it's hilarious. He retweeted it, and I
think Charlie Kirk retweeted thought the carbon.
Speaker 3 (01:30:55):
Thing was funny.
Speaker 1 (01:30:57):
That's a badge of honor.
Speaker 3 (01:30:58):
Man.
Speaker 1 (01:30:59):
He did not freak about freak out about this stuff.
Speaker 3 (01:31:02):
All right, Let's see here, how do you if you
sign for the gay Games? How do you prove your game?
Speaker 1 (01:31:07):
This is the point that I'm making. If it's all
about identity, then I I don't know, I don't know.
I will say, do you think Johnny Knoxville will do
a parody of this ross like you do it?
Speaker 2 (01:31:21):
Was it?
Speaker 1 (01:31:21):
Knoxville did the special Olympics one? Or am I misremembering that?
Speaker 3 (01:31:24):
Yeah? I know that was him. It's called the Ringer,
the Ringer, That's what it was. And he Gus asked
going back, south Park did this kind of right, they
did the same thing. Yeah, well it.
Speaker 1 (01:31:32):
Was different with Cartman because what happened to Cartman he goes,
he goes, he showed up things, and he got all
these goals and then then he got demolished in all
the events.
Speaker 3 (01:31:40):
Right, because he's morbidly obese. Correct. Yeah, So yeah, I don't,
I don't.
Speaker 6 (01:31:47):
I don't.
Speaker 1 (01:31:48):
I don't know how you. I don't know how that works.
Speaker 3 (01:31:50):
So uh maybe checkster be undercover, go figure it out?
All right? Uh A forty four raced agic from the
Weather Channel.
Speaker 1 (01:31:59):
He's up.
Speaker 3 (01:32:00):
How you doing, sir?
Speaker 2 (01:32:01):
All right?
Speaker 1 (01:32:02):
Are you pretty good? I just said if South Park
ever did a characterature of US, I would I would,
I would badge of.
Speaker 9 (01:32:07):
Honor Man and it would be yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:32:11):
Ah Trump, you made Trump and they made J D.
Vans look like tattoo from Fantasy Island. I'm like, that's funny.
Speaker 4 (01:32:21):
That is.
Speaker 12 (01:32:22):
Yeah, no, not really, but that's Fantasy Island. I'm more
entertained by that.
Speaker 3 (01:32:29):
But good throwback man, all right, yeah yeah, throw back yesterday,
throwback to next week.
Speaker 9 (01:32:35):
Yeah yeah.
Speaker 12 (01:32:36):
I think of the longer term, it's more heat, more humidity,
not the one hundred degree heat or what we had
just a week or so ago. We're in the rain
this morning.
Speaker 2 (01:32:46):
Now.
Speaker 12 (01:32:46):
The rain's kind of set up here and actually it's
been kind of annoying. Hopefully it's gonna start tapering off
here soon. It is through parts of UH eastern Nash
and Wilson Counties, down toward the south, toward Fayetteville, and
off toward the west into the try it around Greensboro
right now. Some heavier showers and they kind of got
this blob sitting from a Raleigh in wake Forest and
Durham right over toward high Point in Ashborough Liberty. Some
(01:33:09):
areas getting rainfall this morning. Should diminish as we go
through midday, and just some scattered showers this afternoon, maybe
a thunderstorm, and with the clouds and with the rain,
we still stay in the mid upper seventies tomorrow, closer
to eighty degrees with maybe some hit misshowers, thunderstorms in
the afternoon, and some small chances of showers over the weekend,
and we'll be more seasonable. We'll be back in the
low to mid eighties, still a little bit below normal,
(01:33:30):
but you'll be like, well, yeah, maybe August should feel
like this, and it'll feel like August early next week
as many of us are back close to ninety degrees.
So yeah, a little rain around this morning, Casey, kind
of hanging on here, maybe a little bit longer than
I would like, but either way, some wet weather around,
less of a chance of rain in the coming days.
Speaker 1 (01:33:47):
Go turn the harp off. It's very simple, all right,
thank you, Ray. We'll I look forward to Ray's gonna
play some for us. We don't know what it is
tomorrow at seven forty five, so you're gonna join us
and we're gonna try guess what it is. Okay, So
that'll happen twenty three hours from now.
Speaker 9 (01:34:03):
We'll talk to you then, pens and needles, yep, and
we'll be right back.
Speaker 3 (01:34:07):
Good morning, Case.
Speaker 14 (01:34:08):
We just learned from the Labor Department that there was
an uptick last week and the number of workers signing
up for unemployment benefits two hundred and twenty six thousand
new applications were counted. That's seven thousand more than the
prior week, and the number of continuing claims was the
highest since the end of twenty twenty one. All of
this suggesting that workers who lose jobs are having a
(01:34:29):
tough time finding new ones.
Speaker 3 (01:34:30):
Right now, redfinn.
Speaker 14 (01:34:31):
Says the housing market is swinging at least a little
bit in buyer's favor. The average daily mortgage rate declined
to the lowest level in almost a year after last
week's softer than expected jobs report. More homes are on
the market and more sellers willing to negotiate. The White
House and the Department of Homeland Security ramping up a
massive hiring spree for immigration and customs enforcement. The administration
(01:34:54):
is looking to add thousands of new officers's part of
a plan for a dramatic increase in deporte. United Airlines
is the latest big carrier to have its operations disrupted
by a technical issue. It happened again. A system called
Unimatic went offline last evening. United halted about one thousand
flights at their departing airports. Technicians restored the system late
(01:35:16):
last night and flights were able to resume. Americans are
eating in more often, but some may not be cooking more.
Door Dash posted better than expected second quarter results, saying
it had more active customers and people were ordering more often.
And Casey, President Trump's new tariffs have raised the rates
on most trading partners. So far, consumers have not been
(01:35:38):
hit all that hard. Companies are reluctant to pass the
extra costs along to customers, but economists say that will change.
Companies will eventually be forced to pass the costs along,
either by raising prices or through shrinkflation. We might see
fewer socks and packages, more air and bags of chips,
cheaper handles on furniture, and if tariffs make it up
(01:36:00):
profitable to import.
Speaker 3 (01:36:01):
Some products, those products.
Speaker 14 (01:36:02):
Could just disappear from stores.
Speaker 3 (01:36:05):
Casey, all right, Jeff, thank you very much.
Speaker 1 (01:36:08):
We'll chat tomorrow, sir, sounds good.
Speaker 3 (01:36:10):
Talk to you. Then, all right, there you go.
Speaker 1 (01:36:11):
Jeff Bellingser, Bloomberg News.
Speaker 3 (01:36:13):
All right, this is kind of funny.
Speaker 1 (01:36:15):
So if you guys are into hockey, and I know
with the Hurricanes probably some of you are Seattle. They
have a team the Kraken. This is one of these
Spanish is the newest team, I guess technically or now
the newest along with Vegas, so whatever. And so the
(01:36:35):
Krack and obviously is the mythical sea creature.
Speaker 3 (01:36:38):
But the mascot they use is like this. He's like
a blue troll ball. It would be the best way
to describe it. Blue like blue within of the blue
hair with the crazy ladies.
Speaker 1 (01:36:47):
And then that's the whole thematic.
Speaker 3 (01:36:49):
The hair is the same color and then the skin
is slightly blue and he's a troll.
Speaker 1 (01:36:54):
In fact that he's named Bowie. So they were they
were shooting a bunch of stuff ahead of you know,
like promos and stuff ahead of the season. And to
do it, they were up in Alaska shooting. They're outside
of Anchorage, are on some river and they you know,
they wanted pictures of the mascot fly fishing and all
of that. I don't know what all the promos are
gonna be, but just stuff to use for TV and
(01:37:16):
promotional materials all of that for the year.
Speaker 3 (01:37:19):
But something happened.
Speaker 1 (01:37:21):
So you have this giant, this dude dressing his giant
blue trolled all outfit. They put a pair of waiters
on him and he's holding the fly rod. Yeah, oh,
very very standardized scene for San j one of those
middle of the river. And then all of a sudden,
while they're filming behind them, you see on the trees,
which try to know, about fifty feet on shore on
the other side, a giant grizzly bear, not walking, running
(01:37:46):
out of the trees. I'm assuming he saw this thing
in the river. He's say, I don't know what that is,
but I never even want I'm gonna eat that. And
then they had a little close call with the bear there.
Speaker 3 (01:37:55):
Man.
Speaker 1 (01:37:56):
So, but if your mascot, what's the Buffalo Bills mascot?
They have a ask God, I don't. I'm just gonna
look this up earlier. Like we you know, we have
we have Ragnar for the Minnesota Vikings. Like I I
if Ragnar couldn't take a grizzly bear, I don't want
a mascot for us. I think that should be the
(01:38:17):
That should be the standard right there, Very simple, Ross.
Do you think the Patriots mascot could fight off a
grizzly bear?
Speaker 3 (01:38:26):
Probably not, Oh no, not a chance.
Speaker 1 (01:38:29):
Probably try to bribe it.
Speaker 3 (01:38:31):
No, the bill.
Speaker 1 (01:38:33):
The Bills are Billy Buffalo, Billy Buffalo. You think Billy
buffalo couldn't handle a bear? Oh no, no, no question.
We probably like hurdle over the bear. To confess you
what you want to do? When I was a kid,
we learned is you want to apex the bear. So
you can do that through visually, like just staring because
but you have to have apex size, so it's the
whole thing.
Speaker 3 (01:38:53):
But yeah, man, can you imagine you're you wanted to be.
Speaker 1 (01:38:56):
In professional sports and your only entry was to be
a mascot and you just got eaten bikers?
Speaker 3 (01:39:02):
Jeese? Man.
Speaker 1 (01:39:03):
But I will tell you this, there's an old there's
a really good advice, uh that many of you have heard,
but let me reiterate for those who haven't. Uh, if
you are in a wooded situation with predators such as
you know, a large bear or a pack of wolves
or whatever it is, you don't have to be fast
enough to outrun them. You just gotta be fast enough
(01:39:24):
to outrun whoever you're with.
