Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:01):
Tis Thursday, So that's good. I was just I did
not see this because why the hell would I live?
But I was watching videos. So the Venice Film Festival
is going on right now. Ross you said you were
gonna head over. I know you go to all the
big film festivals. You didn't make it this time, so

(00:21):
we can't get a man on the street apparently. You know.
So you remember the controversy with the Toronto Film Festival, right,
because there was somebody made a documentary and essentially they
got they pulled all the video together from Hamas attacking
the music festival and everything over there, and then the
Toronto people were like, well, we're not We're not going

(00:42):
to show that because what was their reason? Oh yeah,
we hate Jews, I guess whatever the reason was. And
then that was received so poorly. They they backtracked, right
because it's like, so you're not going to show it
because Hamas told you not to. That's not a good look,

(01:06):
and so they came correct there. So it's kind of
the opposite with the Venice Film Festival. So there's a
movie called The Voice of Heindra Jab and it look
it documents, it documents the death of this woman and
members of her family. She's a Palestinian woman. The incident

(01:28):
in which she died is a complex one. The IDF
has they've aten, they have actually said that it shouldn't
have happened, but they did not go so far as
to say that. Like so, so it's one of these
great things. And here's the deal. It doesn't matter what
it is. If somebody made a film and they feel

(01:48):
it's of interesting quality and they want to go ahead
and put it in there, then I can't be a
hypocrite criticizing Toronto and Venice not do it. So that's
that's fine, that's fine. And and you know, I'm one
of these people who loves me loves learning about some history, man. Uh.
And also I love watching stuff and trying to decide

(02:10):
for myself, is is that fair? Is it unfair? Is
it propaganda ish? Whatever? Ross? You guys watch a lot
of like true crime stuff, right you ever do you
ever catch you ever you ever watch one of those
and you feel that maybe, just maybe the person is
not shooting straight with you? Who made that about the incident?

(02:31):
What was the big one that ever? Making a murderer
a murderer?

Speaker 2 (02:34):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (02:35):
Yeah, like where you just get a vibe that something's
some something's being left out of this. Yeah. So they
show this film and then there's a twenty two minute
standing ovation with people calling for the destruction of Israel,
which I've I'm always on CA. I like, I don't

(02:56):
want to go to a movie. This is where I
don't go to theater sometimes or very much, because I
just think it's weird if everybody starts clapping at the
end of a movie. I'm like, who the hell are
you clapping for? They can't hear you. They're not here,
they're at They're not at the movie theater, here on
six quorks or whatever. Nobody, nobody involved with this movie.
Is you here to hear you clap? So y'all are

(03:16):
just being weird. But whatever. It's it's like people who
clap on the thing that's for the movie. I thought
it was for me. Oh yeah, Oh no, I'm sorry, buddy. Yeah,
why would it be for you?

Speaker 2 (03:28):
You know? It's what's funny is yesterday. So we're sitting down,
We're like, let's watch something at the end of the day.
You know, Lincoln's in bed, let's do that. And we're
going over options and I'm like, you know, you know,
she picks the show and I'm like, is there any
death in it? She's like, what do you mean? I'm like, well,
I don't feel like watching anything where like people die tonight,
And I'm like, I don't. I don't want to watch
anything where like, you know, there's lots of death that
She's like, that's that's all we watch, right. It's like

(03:50):
and I'm like, what was that? Was that really a
nice show we watched the other day that I enjoyed
And she's like Criminal Minds and I'm like, yeah, that's
who oh, No, so we last I was just in
a movie sitting down. Yeah, yeah, so away was in
the mood Less Night. We watched a happy Gilmour too,
like the so great is it is? Is it just
because Lee Trevino It's great? Okay?

Speaker 1 (04:13):
Because like I can't. I can't. There's one of these
movies where I can't figure out if I want to watch.

Speaker 2 (04:17):
No, you want to watch? Like, because I've been putting
it off because I was like, it's gonna be trash.

Speaker 1 (04:21):
I thought it was getting hyped a little much.

Speaker 2 (04:22):
No for what it is. I laughed a bunch there.
There were several scenes where like we were both really laughing,
like it was. It was kind of like an okay,
old school comedy, believe it or not, all right, yeah, like,
so it doesn't have to be good, it just don't
be bad. That's really my standard there. So it was
their callbacks to stuff from There's tons of callbacks. It's
all about cameos and guest appearances and everybody who on

(04:44):
the planet that Adam Sandler has ever talked to is
in the movie. But the opening scene, like the opening
you know, five minutes. Yeah, I will never spoil this
because it was do We're laughing. It's so funny. This
thing comes out of left field.

Speaker 1 (04:57):
Okay, all right, all right, so I'm the one that
I do want to see in the comedy too, is
also the New Naked Gun.

Speaker 2 (05:04):
Yeah yeah, So, I mean we're looking forward to finishing
it either tonight or tomorrow because we watch it in
chunks because by eight thirty retired.

Speaker 1 (05:10):
Right, because you're old and you're just like you gotta
get because I get up at three, yes, yeah, yeah, yeah,
all right, So but where was I going with this? So,
so twenty two minutes and then people are screaming for
the destruction of Israel. And and now people are like,
how could this happen? And this is why being a
student of history or at least interested in it goes

(05:31):
pretty far ross. Do you remember what film festival? I
said it was Toronto? No, no, no, no, that's the one.

Speaker 2 (05:38):
Where they had Venice.

Speaker 1 (05:40):
Right, And what what country is Venison? What is uh?
I'll give you a hint. They are. It's the country
of Olive Garden.

Speaker 2 (05:52):
You know it's it's Italy. Yeah, right right. It's a
stupid boat boat town or whatever. There's no because yeah.

Speaker 1 (06:02):
These stupid boats. People go over there for man stupid
they go over there to do that and watch Spider
Man fight.

Speaker 2 (06:08):
People build some roads, the weirdos.

Speaker 1 (06:10):
They wait, they do have roads?

Speaker 2 (06:12):
Oh they do?

Speaker 1 (06:12):
Okay, yeah, yeah, how do you think you don't go?
You don't go everywhere in Yeah, they got bridges and everything.
It's crazy.

Speaker 2 (06:20):
I don want to travel there. I figure you have
to jump out of the plane into the river to
get to the town.

Speaker 1 (06:25):
I thought Venice was. I thought Venice was okay. But
I'm not one of those people who really likes the
super hot spot tourist places because there's just too many people.

Speaker 2 (06:34):
There's too many people going to pass on that.

Speaker 1 (06:36):
So literally that we were in Venice for like two
days or what it got there, stayed one night and
then left because I was literally going to like three
different places. That's the only time. There's the only time
I've been to Italy. So I was there for like
a minute to Rome good stuff. Kind Of hated it though,
because again, like you want to go to the coliseum
and stuff, and you gotta get tickets and then it's hot.

(06:58):
You don't realize how hot it's gonna be over there,
and it is, but down to the Amalfi Coast, that's right,
I recomenji go all right. The reason I point this
out is people go, how could this happen? Well, where
do you think the Venice Film Festival came from? What
if I told you that it was founded in the
late nineteen thirties, ross anything going on in Italy in

(07:19):
the mid to late thirties anything.

Speaker 2 (07:23):
It was a time, man, It was a time?

Speaker 3 (07:24):
Was it?

Speaker 1 (07:24):
Was it? What do you mean when you say time
going on? Was it a good time? Was it?

Speaker 3 (07:30):
No?

Speaker 1 (07:31):
Guys? The Venice Film Festival was literally founded by like
Mussolini's like finance minister, one of his ministers just to
promote what sort of you know, proper correct Yeah, and
for the for the whole you literally the only people
who could show movie. Now, the reason they did it
is to combat American uh, to have combat Hollywood. But

(07:53):
at the same time as things are ramping up to
World War two, and so Mussolini had his dude really
start this film festival and the only countries that could
submit movies were part of the Axis. So it it
literally was like an Italian German I doubt there was

(08:15):
Japanese stuff and was Italian and German propaganda films. That's
what's crazy. Everyone was like, how could this happen. I'm
like the thing was founded by fascists who were you know,
linked up with the Holocaust people. And then and then
you know, Hitler was debuting all his movies over there,
because again it was it was presented to be just

(08:35):
like in the same way there's a there's like Russia
versus US, and there's kind of two sides of the coin.
It's really fascinating if you watch some of the old
Russian propaganda videos to how much they tried to kind
of like be America and Uh, there's a couple of
movies that the names escabe. But yeah, so at the Venice.

(08:57):
The Venice Film Festival was started as a propaganda to
piece by Mussolini with his buddy Adolph. So no, I
am not surprised that people were calling for the destruction
of Israel at the Venice Film Festival because that's partially
what it was founded for. So again, just little little nuggets,

(09:21):
little nuggets in case you know you don't know this stuff.
Uh anyway, all right, so.

Speaker 3 (09:29):
Dude, do do.

Speaker 1 (09:32):
Why is this thing being weirded this morning? Ok? All right,
well let's do this. So let me just learn something
that's good. That's that's, that's all. I want to be
able to walk away and say that we did on
any given time. All Right, coming up, I am feeling
very nostalgic. I mean, who hasn't growing up the middle

(09:54):
of the night you hear something, you know what's going on.
Maybe it's you know, early in the morning, we get
up early in the morning, you're wiping to sleep out
of your eyes, and go in your kitchen, get you off,
maybe a little coffee or something, and bear attack. Right.
I'm assuming Ross and Schenectady maybe once a year. This
probably happened to you. I mean, why only it's much

(10:15):
more frequent. But and then all of a sudden, Yeah,
you're fighting a bear that has happened to a dude,
and it's it's a kind of an amazing story. So
I love his wife's reaction too, so like he earned it,
all right, So six seventeen, we'll get to that. Let's
see here. All right, well, let's just we'll start there.

(10:38):
I'll give you a run down here in the next segment.
Also Stephen Kent our NERD correspondent. He'll join us, coming
up at eight o five. All right, stick around, we'll
be back already. The the Taylor Swift Travis Kelcey wedding
stuff is ramping up. I need them to get married
tomorrow so we can be done with this, because it's
now permeated into my various little sore where I go

(11:00):
to get stories to talk about. And I don't care, Oh,
what kind of silverware are they gonna have? Don't care,
who's gonna be efficient? Don't care? Actually you know what,
uh you know, who should officiate ross this would be?
This would be good? All right? You ready? Uh comy

(11:21):
I mean clearly he geek out over it. He's a
big tea that he's a big Swift fan. So that
would just if you just make this story even worse
that I don't care about that. I would mildly care
just for the oddity of it. But yeah, so apparently
they're gonna get married in Rhode Island. Okay, have fun
with that. I'm not gonna be there, so don't care.

(11:46):
Let's see what was the They're getting married next summer
in Rhode Island. She is in a hurry to have
children too, according to the source here, all the teas
bill the teeth that I don't care about. Doesn't she
have a big doesn't she have like a giant property
where they were finding bodies in Rhode Island? Is that

(12:07):
where that was roscher bur the story where like there
were bodies washing up on Taylor Show.

Speaker 2 (12:11):
Yeah, the other people that were saying that she's probably
the real Gilgo Beach killer, right, I had heard that.
I heard it on the radio.

Speaker 1 (12:17):
Yeah, I say it was reported on the radio. You're correct. Yeah,
So like you geta you're gonna you're gonna get married
where the bodies are? Who would do that except for
the real gil Go Beach killer, right, because you know
that takes souvenirs and stuff, so why you know you
want to be next to you want to be next
to your souvenirs there, so whatever, Look I some of

(12:42):
you ever said. I've mentioned this on the show. One
of the the when you're that wealthy, the way that
you get married just nuts like well bezos thing right
where he basically we're just talking about Venice basically took
over all of Venice. All the locals were mad. He
probablyped I don't know, one hundred million dollars on that thing.

(13:03):
I can't remember what the number was. But when I
was in college and I was working and I would
do the stage hand thing, that's because that was that
was a gig I got was I literally worked for
the IATZA union as a casual. I was at a union
member and as we normally just do concerts. But one
of the jobs that I got booked for was the

(13:24):
the he he's now dead, but it was the guy
who owned Star Telecommunications was getting married to the daughter
of the founders of a Southwest food chain. I think
it's two pesos, which is like Texas, Arizona, New Mexico,
so it's it's it's Buukuo Bucks marrying uh future bookoo bucks.

(13:48):
So they bought a ranch north of Santa Barbara, which
isn't cheap. They constructed they got a full circus tent
died pastel. This is the one where I told you
that they had Jay I know, and Dana Carvey mc
the thing and then they had Rod Stewart, Rio Speedwagon Journey,
Michael McDonald, Christopher Cross all playing at it, all playing

(14:10):
and there's something that I'm leaving out and as a
kid from Wyoming, that was just a way. It was
the most amazing thing I've ever seen. Entertainment Tonight came
up and covered it. It literally was there's a half
a second where I'm on Entertainment Tonight basically running from
one area to the other because I'm you know, we're
running cables and they're just like all the and then

(14:32):
like the people showed up to that thing, like that's
a different planet, man. So whatever what I'm saying, what
I'm saying is whatever they do do, it's probably just
going to be insane. And if you're into that kind
of stuff, I guess, uh gurger loins because they probably
probably U I don't know if they'll go over that.

(14:54):
What did the house, the oh they built, the chapel
they got married in. I'm trying to remember all the
stuff this dude spent money on. Was I'd never seen
anything like that. I think Rosa just thinking about this,
I want to experience that. I think I'm gonna win
the power Ball Saturday. So if I that means we'll
probably have next week off, okay, and then all the

(15:15):
rest of the weeks. Ross and I were just talking
off the air. If one of us wins the one
point seven billion or whatever on Sunday or Saturday, I'm sorry, Actually, no,
screw you guys. It's not till Sunday, so you don't
have to don't even get tickets till then. I have
to split my prize. Yeah, it would. It would go

(15:36):
a little mad Max here on the show, probably because
what are you gonna do?

Speaker 2 (15:40):
No, it'd be absolutely amazing. I always said too, like
if I win the power Ball, like, I'd give you money.
I would give Michael money, give my mom money, my
sister's money, and maybe my in laws and the rest
of you all can kick rocks. Yeah, and yeah, I'm
gonna be Dave Chappelle in that episode where he becomes
like a super millionaire and he's just walking through like
the episode where he marries Oprah.

Speaker 1 (16:02):
Hey man, and you know you got to live the
dream so you never know. Yeah, uh and uh So
on Ross's list, we have buy all the Carabas and
arson them. Yeah, you need to get everyone out first. Yeah,
of course, yeah, as you do. They have a macaroni
grill because that needs zoo. I used to go too. Sorry,

(16:25):
not a fan. I think carabas is better than macaroni grill.
I don't know if you agree or disagree with that.
So for just ranking.

Speaker 2 (16:30):
My my twitch budget would go through the roof, like my,
Oh that'd be It'd be like zoo animals and stuff.
I'd been crazy because right now that budget's at like
no money. So, hey, you got a green screen or whatever?

Speaker 1 (16:43):
Right I used to.

Speaker 2 (16:44):
I don't use it anymore. It's it's too much of
a pain in the of the ass to set up
because I have to move the couch and put it
behind the couch. And then because it was one of
these things that like pulls up on the floor, it
was a pretty good green screen. But then you have
to worry about the lighting because if the lighting isn't right,
you start to fade into the background or there's like
these fringes around you. It's awful.

Speaker 1 (17:01):
So wait, you're putting a new wing on your house.
How did you not put a performance studio in?

Speaker 2 (17:05):
Yeah, I don't know, I don't know. Don't you know.
Maybe I'll stream in there. We will have a new
TV and accounch in there, so it's possible. But still
it's the like it's a pain in the ass.

Speaker 1 (17:15):
Now, I hear you, I hear you. So, but now
you can have a team of people to put it
up for you. Yeah, it's completely different, right, Yeah, Like
where did you work before you worked for Marvel? Okay,
you work for me now? Yeah? Right, I mean, just
don't do what the don't do this show?

Speaker 2 (17:29):
What you Hey, we watched The Thunderbolts. Oh, I kind
of enjoyed it. I hate to say it.

Speaker 1 (17:36):
What is it?

Speaker 2 (17:39):
It's and I'm still going to preface it this way.
It's the crap movie that came out where they're like
the dysfunctional not really like superheroes, like the like the
anti heroes. There are a bunch of losers that come
together and they they're called like the New Avengers. It's
like Winter Soldier BUCkies in it. It's the dad from
The Black Widow and Ah. The problem with here, Yeah,

(18:00):
the problem with the show is, or the movie is,
it's like a lot of shows now where in order
to know who all the characters are. Yeah, you need
to watch like twenty thousand different shows and Disney plus
to know who anybody is. And that's the problem with it.
But overall it was funny. I left, but.

Speaker 1 (18:17):
It's you know, it's not It's not horrible. I guess
that is what you're saying here movies that I was like, man,
I don't and then I watched him. I actually like
I watched the New Superman. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (18:29):
I think it's like the Overton Window of movies though,
because compared to old Marvel it's garbage, but compared to
what they have produced recently, it's okay.

Speaker 1 (18:39):
Well maybe that's what they were going for, just like
we'll never capture Lightning in a bottle again. I was right.

Speaker 2 (18:45):
I was surprised. I didn't hate it.

Speaker 1 (18:47):
Let's get a worse looking bottle here. I will say,
if you guys haven't seen it, the last mission impossible.
I think I enjoyed it. I rewatched it actually because
I have the I have the whole collection. So I
ended up buying that one because it was nineteen though
I was gonna be twenty nine. It was nineteen ninety nine.

Speaker 2 (19:06):
All those movies are so good.

Speaker 1 (19:08):
Yeah, the first one has this there's a certain I
don't want to say cheese factor, but it's just clearly
what it built into. But it's still like the scene
where he's going after the Knocklist. It's such a great scene.
Man in the I will say this, so I'm gonna
throw this in there. So do you remember that from

(19:29):
the first one where he's he know, he's doing the
thing in there in that private computer room. The guy
comes in, the guy comes out, and Ethan gets down there,
he gets the Knocklist gets out of there. Do you
ever ask yourself what happened to that dude who was
in that room where the Knocklist was stolen? You remember?
You remember the scene I'm talking about, right Ross, It's
been a while, yeah, so they remember they go he

(19:53):
breaks into the CIA to steal the thing off the
computer and he has to go in that big white lim.

Speaker 2 (19:58):
Like where he's suspended. That's where he's suspended from the ceiling. Okay, Yeah,
the classic scene. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (20:02):
Yeah, so the dude who was that dude is a
big character in the last movie, and it just comes
full circle, and I thought, I thought that was pretty clever.
I'm not going to say anything else about it, but
that dude, let's just say it did not go well
for him, even though I don't know how it's his fault.

Speaker 2 (20:21):
What I love about this movie is there's always a
part of it somewhere in the middle where I start
to realize where I have no idea what's going on
in the movie, where I completely lost, and by the
end it all comes together somehow.

Speaker 1 (20:32):
Yeah. Yeah, this one was a lot easier to follow
than the second to last one. So but yeah, I
thought that was that was pretty clever to kind of
make that guy a focal point because he got you know,
he he his next performance review because the Knocklist got stolen,
probably didn't go well. Yes, you come into your boss's meeting,

(20:52):
the say director in the HR ladies there like son
of a book.

Speaker 2 (20:56):
They stole what.

Speaker 1 (20:57):
Yeah, but again I don't know how it's his fault.

Speaker 2 (21:00):
What is it your job to watch that one room?

Speaker 1 (21:03):
I remember they put like laxatives and stuff in his coffee. Remember, Like,
is that his fault? I think that's not his fault anymore.
Plus he's going up against Ethan Hunt literally, you know,
for the purpose of the movie, the best of the
best of the best.

Speaker 2 (21:18):
I mean, if it was super important for him to
watch that room and to make sure nobody comes down
on wires and avoids all the lasers and stuff like,
that's your job. They should have given him like a
porta potty or something in his office so he didn't
have leave so he keep his eyes on the thing. Yeah,
it's their own fault.

Speaker 1 (21:33):
So he is, he is. I think it's a really
good thing they did with him in the in the
latest movie, so very clever. All right, Well, I don't
want to give any of it away, So there you go.
We get into more movies stuff. I'm so excited too,
because Ross is texting Steven and he Stephen was telling

(21:54):
Ross that he went to cover a one of these
moonbat protests up in DC, and I just asked, I said,
it was there singing and will you read what he wrote?

Speaker 2 (22:04):
Yeah, he was at a lefty protest rally at Union Station.

Speaker 1 (22:10):
This is the right, this is right where there's right
where I had interactions with all the people, because that's
where the hotel is right across the street from and
that's where all the crazies are. I bet it was
just nuts. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (22:18):
So I just asked him, I said, was there singing
at the protest? Yeah? And he wrote back, yes, I
met a giraffe who sings Epstein songs and tried to
make love to the ground. This is the resistance.

Speaker 1 (22:31):
Now, to be fair, Now he's now Steven is not
on acid right now, right that I know, for ayahuasca
or any of that. So he's not he's not currently tripping.
So that's your tease. That's why at eight oh five
you don't want to miss this because he met a
giraffe who sings Epstein songs. Which what are there? What
is an Epstein song? Is it like a playlist of

(22:52):
songs Epstein would like, like I wrote a woman sooner.

Speaker 2 (22:55):
Now I'm guessing it's like a custom made song that
the giraffe man who's humping the ground put together. Just
talking about how Trump is related is a pedophile and
in the Epstein files and Trump doesn't want to release
him because he's a perv and yacht yat it.

Speaker 1 (23:10):
That's what well, look, I you know, we like parody
songs here on the show. I'm sure they're really good.

Speaker 2 (23:14):
Yeah, I'm sure there's a great hook. I'm sure.

Speaker 1 (23:17):
Yeah, absolutely, So you know clearly we want you want
to hear the rest of that story. So at eight
o five when Stephen Kent comes on, we'll talk about that.
And let me tell you. When they're cosplaying up in DC,
they go big, I will never forget, and we've posted
the pig. Maybe I'll find it again, post it again.
When they when the Brett Kavanaugh hearings were going on,
I was doing radio row up there, and between the

(23:38):
handmaidens and uh uh but and everything else, it was.
It was nuts. And then you walk in and there's
a dude dressed as a giant pink condom. And let
me tell you, it wasn't just something you did with
trash bags and you kind of had to like squint
to go like like that was a professionally created, prophylactic

(23:59):
cop costume, which also was really hot. And he's walking
around in that thing, so like that is a dude
who's committed. So I am going to assume this giraffe
costume was probably top notch because when you're a LARPer,
which most of these, you know, especially up in DC,
you get a bunch of these LARPers that work for
these nonprofits and these all right, the various Uh what

(24:23):
I had on says the political organizations, right the insta
protest kids, like, they'll spend money on that stuff. So
we'll get more of that coming up here at eight
oh five. All right, let me go over he I thought.

(24:47):
I thought that the I thought it was going to
be a one off in Seattle, just because Seattle's weird.
Are we really going to be having a national movement
against military flyovers? Is this where we're headed? Because I've
now seen stories in both Canada and the US where
they're like, oh, we can't these are triggering. And then

(25:09):
I saw some lunatic one of the New York Council
members who was like, oh, yeah, I know it's triggering
here because it's New York. And if you were here
during nine to eleven, you were you know, you remember
you remember what F sixteen's in an air show? Is
that what you remember? You remember? The reason you remember
fighter jets is because of what happened, but not it's

(25:29):
not those planes. The fighter jets were literally there in
the air. And I remember in one of the nine
to eleven documentaries, the guy that they were interviewing was
talking about how essentially it was like it was like
a military base for days after nine to eleven, fighter
jets going everywhere. Obviously we just been attacked. People didn't

(25:50):
know what was up. And so he said, whenever you
step out of your house, you at some point, if
you walk five minutes, you were gonna hear a fighter
jet flyover. So like. But also the guy never said
he didn't like fighter jets. And yet now you have
Donna Brazil, she's out here. With all due respect, I

(26:11):
heard those jets and went outside. Oh okay, well, let
me let me read the tweet that she's prompting off
of Trump just had a military do a flyover in
DC during the press conference with Epstein survivors. Is that intimidation?
Somebody wrote that who are they intimidating? Are you literally

(26:31):
implying that the Epstein survivors Trump so mad he flew
a B two bomber or F sixteen. That's insane, That
is that's almost as insane as the people Trump was
dead all week all weekend. What are you talking about,
but it is that would be a hell of a thing.

(26:52):
So Ross put that on the list. If we win
the two billion dollars, time your enemies are outside doing something,
we'll buzz them. We'll have Maverick buzz them, and we'll
literally pay Tom Cruise to do it because we got
that kind of few money. So so that's what started.
She had one lunatic who said I did a flyover
in DC and it was to intimidate the Epstein survivors

(27:15):
because he, you know, he is the list or whatever.
So that's insane. You shouldn't even interact with that person.
And then Donna Brazil, with all due respect, I heard
those jets and went outside why are they so low?
And someone asked the question, why what is happening to
our country? Blah blah blah, And then all these other
people are piling on and it's like it's it's the

(27:37):
Seattle thing all over again, where they were like, oh,
we can't have we can't have military jet flyovers because
they feel that Trump likes the military. This is just
the political version of it that Trump likes the military.
They don't like the military. And I'm sorry how much
and I don't use this term very often on the show.
How much of a soy boy B word you have

(28:00):
to be to not think it's the coolest damn thing
when uh when like when I go golfing up in
the mountains, they the guys run out of Cherry Point
and that you know, they're up there, they're practice and
doing whatever real low Like I don't even care if
it's in my back swing, I instantly get excited. I'm like, well,
there's jets.

Speaker 2 (28:20):
Like a lesser extent of that is you know we
went to Topsail right nor tops over there? Oh yeah
yeah when they do the big military helicopters fly past,
it is the coolest thing ever.

Speaker 1 (28:31):
Yeah, the the green coffins, which yeah, not a good
let alone.

Speaker 2 (28:35):
Like the Blue Eagles or the Jets or something that's
that'd be even better. Yeah, Like, who's standing on the
beach going, oh no, no, one of these badass helicopters. Again,
it's so great.

Speaker 1 (28:45):
Yeah, this is I hate this so much. Well, Donna
Brazil and then other lunatics were like, and again it's
it's because it's because Trump likes it, therefore they we
can't like it, which is just crazy. I'm sorry. I
don't care where are your politics. I don't I don't
care what your politics are. What there's nothing uncool about

(29:08):
a fighter jet, with the one exception is if it's
got you locked on radar and it's the last thing
you see, then you're probably not happy about it. But
even for a moment, you're like, oh, that thing's cool,
right before you get turned into mist So but I
get you know, this is this gonna be the next
hill we're gonna die on because you want to talk
about a ninety ten issue. Oh my gosh, Oh my gosh, Ross,

(29:33):
we're gonna need fighter jets too. I think we can
afford fighter jets, right, how what? Yeah? What is their
current commute from Wake Forest? How long does that take?
About twenty minutes?

Speaker 2 (29:42):
I mean I'm kind of slow and I take my time,
and I about thirty forty minutes.

Speaker 1 (29:47):
What do you think of an F thirty five that is, oh,
I mean at least half the time I would imagine, Yeah,
so like probably slightly faster than Yeah, that'd be great.
You gotta get the one that can like hover land though,
because with all the trees in the park, so I
don't have enough room for a runway. All right, six
nine Casey Odey radio program, Hang on this story is

(30:10):
weird man? A North Carolina man has been arrested and
charged with being married to three different women at the
same time. Sorry, that line just went through my head
from office space Ross two women anyway, So yeah, Harry
Burdick Junior was let's see what are they where? They

(30:34):
investigating him on suspicion of bigamy after a report filed
at April at a discovery he had three marriage licenses. Specifically,
what are the counties here? Guildford it's one, Davidson has one,
Lincoln all right, So Lincoln, Davidson, and Guildford County the
three counties where they're saying this dude is married. Authorities

(30:57):
also put out a call to the public in case
any one that sees this might also be married to
this dude. Ross. Let me ask you a question.

Speaker 2 (31:09):
Yeah, no, I can already give you the answer.

Speaker 1 (31:12):
How and but one, how much does this dude hate
just a little piece and quiet?

Speaker 2 (31:17):
Yeah? I don't understand that one how because it seems
like it would be really hard to pull off. So
maybe you're traveling a lot for work? Why?

Speaker 1 (31:27):
Why? Maybe it really really enjoys being told how to drive.

Speaker 2 (31:32):
I mean that that but that is so much work.
Like that's crazy. Yeah, because to have a successful marriage,
no matter what the state, it's always going to take
some work in some compromise. And you've got three of them.
That's crazy.

Speaker 1 (31:45):
Yeah, let's see. Burdick was released with a written promise
to appear efforts to reach him or his wives. This
is from one of the ABC eleven rio whatever, we're
unsuccessful the sheriff's office. So there could be more victims
and it wants to hear from them. If you were

(32:06):
somebody who know has been legally married to mister Burdict,
contact the sheriff's office. Yeah, and like did they know
about each other? Some stuff that's unclear here because like, man,
I don't know. Maybe it's one of those uh maybe
they have an open relationship or whatever. He's in his sixties,
so I don't know. So this story, this is a

(32:28):
pretty crazy video. So this guy is he you know,
he's he's he's at home, he's asleep with his wife
and uh he don't. I'm sure she hears something, right,
what's going on downstairs? So this guy, So I'll go check,
because you know that's my part of this relationship, so

(32:49):
I have to go get murdered now. And uh, but
he he's he's you know, he does take a little
protection with him, which I'll let him explain. And he
goes down into his kitchen and all of a sudden,
and because he's got he's got interior cameras with sounds,
so you can literally hear this thing happening. And he
didn't even have the light on yet. He's got an

(33:09):
ars what he's got with him, and uh, oh well,
let's just listen in. So you a creaming around down here.

Speaker 4 (33:16):
I'm the bear guy, as he can tell, this is
my house and my bear arms, and I'm bearing arms
that I think is a bear down there. Let's go
check it out.

Speaker 1 (33:29):
Okay. So now he's gotten halfway down and he is
able to surmise there's a bear there, and I'm sure
it's based probably the noises he's hearing and clearly the
things and they're just trying to eat out of his fridge.
But the problem he's in now is the bear is well,
it may be eating cookies or whatever it can find
in there, or honey, the old trope. You also don't

(33:52):
want to get at a surprise situation with the bear
for obvious reasons, even black bears, which normally are kind
of coward so we'll run away from you. If you're
in close proximity and a little surprise goes on, may
not end well for you. But this guy's pretty confident.
So he goes rolling into that kitchen, and I think
he was even a little surprised how quickly this thing

(34:13):
spun out of control. It's hard to Yeah, this is
his wife. It's right bad because he made the kitchen dirty.
Two it's like I just got done cleaning this and
now there's dead bear blood everywhere, and then you'll see

(34:34):
a picture in this video, will tweet it out to you.
But he also made a little follow up thing too,
and I thought this was really funny. Hey, it's been
a while a few days.

Speaker 5 (34:41):
Yes, I'm the guy who shot the bear in his kitchen,
and I just wanted to answer a few of the
questions that I've been getting. The most common questions. Number one,
did you get to keep the bear? No, I didn't
get to keep the bear. I called the sheriff, I
called Parks and Wildlife. If you shoot a bear in
self defense, you don't get to keep it too bad.
How did it get in? It climbed up on a
second story deck. Jimmy opened a cracked window. It gets

(35:04):
hot here during the day, but cools off a lot
at night because we're in the mountains and we don't
have ac so it's nicely the windows open. Jimmy's open
that window, pushed in the screen. That's how it got in.
Is your hearing okay? Yeah, my hearing's fine if you're perceptive.
I had a suppressor around my gun. I suppressed pretty
much all my guns. Did you know it was a bear?

Speaker 1 (35:25):
No? I did not. What gun did you use?

Speaker 5 (35:27):
Yeah, everybody wants to be before you walked my five
six guys Lease Super Duty eleven and a half inch.
I love this gun, probably my favorite ar forever. Now,
do you have any new holes in your house?

Speaker 1 (35:39):
No?

Speaker 2 (35:39):
I do not.

Speaker 5 (35:40):
I shot the bear seven times. The buried at all
seven rounds. One round one fragment went through the bear
and just barely nicked my floor, and the AMMO performed flawlessly,
Which leads me to the next question, which is my opinion,
the high IQ question. What Emma did you use? I
used Hornerty Critical Defense fifty five grain and man thuds

(36:01):
are punching the air right now, because you can shoot
a bear with fIF I six.

Speaker 1 (36:05):
That's it.

Speaker 5 (36:05):
That's probably all you're gonna get out of me, sad
for the bear. Didn't want to shoot a bear. It
just how it went down. The thing charged me in
my kitchen. What are you gonna do?

Speaker 1 (36:15):
I love I love gun guys too, because those are
that's one hundred percent gun guy questions there. Yeah, whereas
like and I'm sorry, I'm sorry, let me let me
just approach it this way. I understand that there's gonna
be anecdotal outliers, but for the most part, I have
a feeling guys asked those questions one hundred percent. Because
it was women ask those questions. It'd be more on

(36:37):
the emotional side, like were you terrified? I don't know.
Ross did it sound a little like he was kind
of enjoying it in the first cut because now he's
pretending he's hosting like a hunting show.

Speaker 2 (36:46):
Yeah, no, completely.

Speaker 1 (36:47):
This goes back to every guy who sees like military
aircraft fly over all of a sudden is gets super excited.

Speaker 2 (36:54):
He's also completely kitted out, you know what I mean?

Speaker 1 (36:57):
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm not saying he was
way eating for the bear, but he was prepared and
and uh uh five five the five five six thing
is it's not surprising because it's narar platform, but it
is the the smaller of the more normal UH rounds
you can run through there. So uh seven six two
five five six, So it's so essentially shot it with UH.

(37:22):
It's something I would not go hunt a bear with.
But if if you're gonna if you're gonna center mass
that thing from about three yards away and I hit
it seven times, you'll probably be successful. Bear very hard
to uh to hunt because of the strength, especially of
the shoulder blade. If you bow hunt them, ross, did

(37:43):
you know this? That you what the thing you have
to do with a bear is you got to get
it to extend its paw out before you can you
can put an arrow in there because you have to
clear an entry away past because if you hit it
in the shoulder, you're not gonna kill it with a
with a with a bow, and you might not even
kill it with a rifle if you just hit that
main shoulder blade there there, there's really really tough. And

(38:04):
so that's the reason guy A lot of people will
hunt with bait on bears because now the bears you're
using its front paws to root around in there. Now
you've got a shot. If you want to get a
double lung boiler maker, that's how it's gonna happen. So
there you go. But I will also say, I don't
know what state this guy's in, but in Wyoming we

(38:26):
would call. We would say using a gun on a
bear you find in your kitchen just isn't really sporting anymore.
It's like what I kind of stopped hunting with rifles
for a while because the elk were not far away,
so I got into the pistol hunting and the bow hunting,
so it was a little more of a challenge. But
no Wyoming rules apply there. If there's a bear in
your kitchen, you can grab any sharp object that's currently
in your kitchen. But then you got to you got

(38:49):
a knife fight because they got you know, they got
knives on their hands. So if you really want to
make it sporting, and I think bringing an ar to
the party is kind of cheating, but you know that's
the way we did it, and uh, that's the way
we like it. So what are you gonna do anyway, Oh,
you don't have the goat thing. That's probably no.

Speaker 2 (39:07):
I lined it up with the gunshots. I thought it'd
be more appropriate.

Speaker 1 (39:09):
Oh okay, yes, yeah, the good old days. How many
bears did you fight in your kitchen?

Speaker 2 (39:20):
Growing up in Skinnach, My buddy Tristan taught me how
to take down a bear. And what you want to
do is you want to rip out its teeth. It's
one giant tooth and stab it in its neck with
its own tooth, and you eventually you'll have a necklace
of bear teeth.

Speaker 1 (39:33):
Who taught you that?

Speaker 2 (39:34):
My buddy Tristan.

Speaker 1 (39:36):
Yeah. Where was he from?

Speaker 2 (39:38):
Uh, from Wyoming, I believe, Yeah, yeah, perhaps Montana somewhere
around there.

Speaker 1 (39:44):
No, you had it, You had it right the first time.
So yeah, yeah, that's what I'm talking about, and that
he like, he really took it, because like the rule
is any sharp object and most people would grab like
a big butcher's knife or something, but he's like, I
think the bear's teeth count, which is correct, And then
there you go. Oh, anyway, here's here's the here's the thing.
Here's the crazy thing too. And I immediately called it

(40:07):
in the comments. If you scroll if you look under,
if you look at some of the comments that a
little ways down, there's like dudes wanting this to happen
to them.

Speaker 2 (40:17):
Is there anybody saying they thought maybe it was staged?
Has that been like a thing that's been said.

Speaker 1 (40:22):
Well, I mean there's there's I think they feel there
are some people who were thinking it was stage because
he did the little like commentator like he's hosting and.

Speaker 2 (40:31):
He was completely decked out, like maybe he just put
it on really fast. But there's a part of me,
because we've been doing this for so long, it's a
little skeptical. And then like you know, he's got like
the little promotion of the AMMO at the end, up
close of the product and the it's super weird how
he gives a little intro in the beginning and he's
got everything on like he like, I'm glad you brought

(40:51):
it up. Well, I don't think he had everything on it.
It looks all he's about to be dropped down in Fallujah.
It looks like he's like ready to go, like he
just he maybe just put it on. Really, I have
no idea, but a little skeptical.

Speaker 1 (41:01):
Well, he's clearly clearly ex military Yeah, looking at the dude,
he's got some yeah, completely kind of sy there. I
think he probably just has he has can't like just
hanging there in his closet or something.

Speaker 2 (41:11):
Yah, that's what I was thinking to to one or
the other. But some part of me, like I said,
because of this job and what we've seen over the years,
is like, maybe, well, here's what I field an advance
and he took a photo of it in the kitchen
or something.

Speaker 1 (41:24):
Here's what I'd say. If he has a vest with
a plate carrier and plates in it and it's just
hanging there and he knows he's got to go downstairs
and at first he doesn't know what it is and
it's sitting there next to his ar, I would throw
that on because the guy, if you're going down there,
you're gonna confront somebody with a gun and you literally
have no I would too, Yeah, a vest, Why wouldn't
you throw that damn thing on? But yeah, and I

(41:46):
didn't think where he's showing off the gun and the
the the rounds was that didn't feel stage to me
because that's what that's what gun guys do. Like it's
funny because those are the round those are the exact
same rounds that I have for my uh for uh my,
don't break into my house gun, or it's not gonna

(42:06):
end well for you, Like you want those crit you
want those ones that are just gonna rip and tear man.
You don't want Annie, you don't want to wound nothing.
So no, that's one hundred percent. But the but the
number of people who now and then to also to
pull it off. He where did he get the bear,
because it's clearly in the photos.

Speaker 2 (42:23):
Is dead in his kitchen. Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
And now I guess said it's a reach here. I'm
not saying that. I even aggrebbed.

Speaker 1 (42:28):
No, no, no, no, I'm sorry. I'm just like, yeah, but saying,
if that's a conspirat, he would have to have killed
the bear ahead of time and brought it into the
kitchen and posed it right and then just shot it
a whole bunch, I guess, or or you just what
you do is you get a big thing, a honey,
and you go outside of the edge of the woods,
and then you take it on into your kitchen. There

(42:51):
you go, and I still got I met his wife
still got mad at him because the floor got damaged.

Speaker 2 (42:56):
The bear also had a red half shirt on, which
was super weird, So.

Speaker 1 (43:00):
No gets put. You didn't you hear them say it
gets cold at night? Yeah, that's a silly old bear.
Yeah what else you got there, sir?

Speaker 5 (43:09):
One quick word for my Christian brothers in the room,
and that is you should have agency.

Speaker 1 (43:16):
What do I mean by that?

Speaker 5 (43:17):
It means that you should be able to protect those
in your care. You should be able to assert dominion,
and you should be able to assert your will in
certain circumstances. The world is going to freak out when
you do that. They're used to Christians being dormats and
so get used to pushback.

Speaker 1 (43:35):
But you should have agency.

Speaker 5 (43:37):
Basically, that means you can just do stuff Christ died
for you. You can just go do stuff now.

Speaker 1 (43:43):
All glory be to Christ the King. This dude strikes
me as a lot of guys, a lot of dudes
that I knew growing up. A lot of them are
ex military. You know. These were uncles and whatnot of
family members. My own uncle included where they really embraced
because it looks like he lives literally he does literally
live in the middle of nowhere. You can see it

(44:04):
from the when he's outside filming. These are These are
the guys who go remember the movie Shooter, was that
Shooter with Mark Wahlberg? Yes, yes, where they have to
go get him because he's living in He was living
in Wyoming.

Speaker 2 (44:16):
In the middle of nowhere, like in his cabin.

Speaker 1 (44:18):
Yeah, you have no idea how many dudes like that permeation?

Speaker 2 (44:21):
Oh too, No, looking at this guy's backdrop, right, yeah,
like seeing the house that he's living the dream.

Speaker 1 (44:27):
You know what we would always say about guys like
that they were born one hundred years too late, right
because you know, I, you know, my family has journals
and whatnot of like you know, day to day happenings
going back to late eighteen hundreds, and it's like it'll
be random stuff like when a neighbor would come by
that was a big deal, and then the there just
be random stuff where they're like, oh, a pack of

(44:48):
wolves came in and attack Timmy. Uh, it's like, holy crap, man,
the hell.

Speaker 2 (44:54):
It's like real life stationary Oregon trail.

Speaker 1 (44:56):
Yeah. Or they had when the crow would come by,
remember they literally the crow would attack people. They killed
a guy that worked for us. Yeah, but this guy's
like this guy tracks with every sense of that right there, man,
So I am not surprised. And I think if you,

(45:18):
if you grow, if you live in a city, you
would be more inclined to I think this guy's full
of it. But like I could rip off a list
of names of people that are that I grew up with,
who are literally living in the same situation right now,
and I would not want to be a bear walking
in their kitchen at No.

Speaker 2 (45:34):
He was just excited that it was happening, like and
that's the other thing I've been waiting for this.

Speaker 1 (45:39):
This right here tells me how pumped he is once
he realizes that that's a bar.

Speaker 4 (45:43):
So you agreeming around down here, I'm the bear guy,
as he can tell.

Speaker 5 (45:48):
This is my.

Speaker 4 (45:49):
House and my bare arms, and I'm bearing arms.

Speaker 1 (45:53):
Get it. They had a plun ready to go. Let's
go check it out. Oh my god, Oh my god.
I've never seen a woman so so bothered by one
hundreds of pounds of free meat. The heck, the heck's

(46:14):
going on. No, he was doing the exact things when
I lived in Minneapolis. I've said this. In addition to
the radio I also did a voiceover, wrote and did
field producing him for some of the hunting and fishing
shows through Al Linder and North America Hunter and some
other stuff. And do you know how you know how

(46:36):
they film those hunts? Ross you ever watched like a
hunting show where you see the whole process. I don't
know if that's ever interested you enough. So there's they
always have these scenes where the guys in the tree
stand and he's talking really quietly, all right, there's something
messing around over there about about fifty yards over in
the woods, all right, and then then they go through
all that. So that's not how that works the way

(46:59):
that that's filmed. And I don't know if I'm gonna
crush dreams here. None of that happens prior to them
shooting it, or very little happens because you don't you
got to keep your mouth shut. So the way it
works is this for a hunting sit Now fishing is
a little different. But for a hunting situation, you're gonna
have the camera guy up at one stand. Depending on
the size of production, you may have two. Also, a

(47:21):
lot of a lot of times people are using fixed
cameras now that they position them at trees, so they're
firing back of the dude, and then the deer comes
through that. You know, they make sure and film all
that you get the shot of that. You know, at
the moment of impact he releases the arrow, deer jumps,
and then now they've got to get down their screaming.
They're great, they got a little catchphrase ready to go.

(47:43):
But all that set up stuff where they're whispering at
each other and they're you shoot that all after, I know, right,
it makes sense when you hear it. No, you shoot
it after. So you kill the animal and then you
have to recreate the hunt. And that's the thing that happens.
So now the guy's sitting up there and he's got

(48:03):
to pretend he's pumped because he hears something over there.
And then it's got to match over. And you can
generally tell when the when the camera is cutting and
then his voice over there, because that's how you mix
it over, because you don't necessarily have the shot that
he's talking about. And then and only then is your
hunting package filmed and done. So it's a lot of

(48:24):
b roll shooting at the end, a lot of it.
And you have different scenarios too, and then you just
pick the one that goes best. Sorry, a little peek
under the hood there, but this guy clearly watches those
shows because he was doing exactly that thing, which is
very funny to me. All right, seven three man, If
a bear comes in the studio on the seventh floor,
we got this. We'll be right back. I assume that

(48:45):
that was edited just because the speed at which the
wife is her voice comes on there, and I think
that it was just they cut it down. So the
part where he's talking to the camera, it sounds like
he shot that after and then edited it in, which
is I ron exactly how explained how they host these
hunting shots.

Speaker 2 (49:02):
So that makes perfect sense.

Speaker 1 (49:04):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, So which again proves my point,
like this dude's so pumped. He's so pumped. Man, it's
like I've been waiting for this. And also the other
thing about, you know, looking a little tactical. If it
is a person down there and you walk down and
you look like you might be a Navy seal, that's

(49:24):
far more terrifying than some dude in his boxers.

Speaker 2 (49:27):
Yeah, I'm in the wrong house.

Speaker 1 (49:30):
I have made a horrible decision. So what you saw,
I broke into John Wick's house. How did this happen.

Speaker 2 (49:35):
Yeah, don't touch his buppy. What you're saying about the
you know, the hunting shows, yes, and how they're put together,
but Bear Grit.

Speaker 1 (49:41):
And I can't speak for all of them. I can
only speak the ones I worked on, and and they
are some of the bigger ones. So it seemed pretty standardized.
But the Bear Grill show, that's legit, right, don't even
get me started out.

Speaker 2 (49:52):
That's real.

Speaker 1 (49:54):
What you want to hear that it is real. I
had to stop, I clad because you would just lose
my mind watching it. Anytime he was I can't speak
to Desert Survival, but they like he's like, I'm in
he did what he shot one and he was like
near a gallon and gateway or some up in Montana,
which the topography is very similar to why I grew up.
And he's like up in the mountains there and he's like,
all right, we got nothing to eat here, and I'm

(50:17):
I'm losing my crap because I'm in the shot. He's
like he's like talking about how he's got to find
water source and all the you know how easy it
is to find a water source in the Rocky mountains,
especially at elevation I mean, you do what you're gonna do,
but at some point you're up high enough that the
water is so cold and it's spring fed likely up there,
and if there's not livestock up there, you can just

(50:39):
drink the damn creek water. Okay, It's it's like I
grew up drinking it. I'm fine, I'm good. I had
no qualms about. You just gotta know what to look for.
And he's standing there, And the thing that was really
killing me is he's standing there and I can visibly
see behind him a patch of whorehound, which is a
pretty common plant out there that is one hundred percent

(51:01):
edible and actually if you boil it down you can
make candy with it because it's so sweet, it's got
so much internal sugars. This is like thirteen year old
me looking at this, going, this guy's full of crap.
But I have a beer Grills theory. I think Bear
Grills or some of these other guys, or survivor Man
or that dude, I think they just really they like

(51:23):
drinking urine and this is the only way they could
make it not weird completely.

Speaker 2 (51:28):
But I mean, in their defense, that was before TikTok
So now TikTok is on, you could just do that.
But back then you had to act like you were
surviving in the wilderness.

Speaker 1 (51:36):
Yeah, you had to pretend you didn't want to drink it,
even though I question if some of these guys are
just hing it.

Speaker 2 (51:41):
Well, I'm going to mark you down for bear grills
being full of crap. What about Obviously, again, I.

Speaker 1 (51:46):
Can speak only to I could speak only to there's
one thing to ham it up the other thing, because
the point of that show was I thought to also
provide useful information to people. And if you're not going
to point to the extremely edible plant behind you and
the fact that based on where he was in the
one shot, there's there's tons of little like split valleys there,

(52:10):
little dips that are likely that way because there's a
small creek running through there. I'm not I'm not even kidding.
Twelve year old me could survive up there. For me,
my buddies would go up for like a week up
into the mountains, and yeah, we had like the truck
and we you know, we bring some some food and whatnot,
but we'd also just go grab stuff, we go shoot
stuff and eat it.

Speaker 2 (52:30):
All right. So but the squat shows where they they
hunt the squatch.

Speaker 1 (52:34):
Oh no, that's real, yeah, right, absolutely, And what do
you do if you go down and squatches in your kitchen?
Did you ever see did you ever see what the
State of Texas with the squatch thing they did there
where what.

Speaker 2 (52:50):
They said if it was a crime to shoot it
or something or no no.

Speaker 1 (52:52):
No, no, no no no. The Texas Game and Fish or
BLM or whatever their version of it is down there
had like a thing where they'd answer questions and so
that somebody asked the guy who's essentially a spokesman, and
the dude they they waited and then they sent like
a big response and then the guy put it ended
up in the paper and whatnot, and it was under

(53:13):
the judgment of the Game and Fish Department of Texas.
Since bigfoot is not native to Texas, it would be
I would fall under an invasive species. So not only
can you shoot bigfoot in Texas, you don't have to
get a license to do it, do it all year long.

Speaker 2 (53:31):
I think if you if you find bigfoot in your kitchen,
you invite him to be a part of your family,
and then.

Speaker 1 (53:37):
You the Henderson's yes, I see, So it worked out
that one time, and that's that was the Hollywood version
of it. Do you ever see the story of the
lady and was violently murdered in her house because she
was old. She was going and finding like crazy homeless
min with her. Yeah, yeah, beat her to death with
a mallet. I told you what my version of Harry

(53:57):
and the Henderson would be if that were to happen
to me. If you remember that in the movie, they
hit him with their car and they're like, oh, no,
we murdered Bigfoot. Let's put him back in the car
and bring him home right, and they think they like
tie him to the to the which I can you
wonder how they got him up there. It's a husband,
wife and two kids. There's no way they're lifting that
dude on top of the car.

Speaker 2 (54:16):
If that were to happen to me, I'm driving with
the family, they were in the middle of the woods
and I run over a Bigfoot. I would immediately run
over him repeatedly for two hours. I would back up
over Bigfoot, and I would roll over big Foot. I
would back up over Bigfoot and roll in the entire time.
It would just be Marky and Lincoln screaming.

Speaker 1 (54:37):
Because you don't want you look, you don't want him
to survive, because then he's gonna then he's going to
vow revenge.

Speaker 2 (54:42):
I'm not risking that.

Speaker 1 (54:44):
You know what you want? You want? You want some
you know, some big you know, nine foot tall, incredibly
strong ape man who has a blood libel against you.

Speaker 2 (54:56):
No, you don't forward in reverse for two hours.

Speaker 1 (55:00):
Repeatedly, and then you got to film something after, like
you're on a hunting show. What man, If you got
to do it, do it right. That's all I've said?
How many? And then you tax the dermy right?

Speaker 3 (55:16):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (55:16):
Yeah, I put that in the wing.

Speaker 1 (55:18):
You put that in the wing. Maybe dress it up
to look a little chewy.

Speaker 2 (55:22):
Yeah, I put that thing in the star fleet outfit.
That's what I would do.

Speaker 5 (55:25):
What.

Speaker 1 (55:26):
No, he can't cross you can't cross the two. You
can't take something that is clearly a Star Wars reference
and star trek it up, isn't I'm sorry, isn't that
like a nerd crime? Am I wrong?

Speaker 2 (55:39):
Well, that's what I would commit. Send me to the Hague.

Speaker 1 (55:42):
Well, then when you wouldn't go the Hay, you'd go
to the Senate, right with the Palpatine there. Yeah, we're
gonna do this, do it right? So or maybe you
could then do a third thing and they send you
to the thing from Guardians of the Galaxy. Uh, the
prison there. What do they call it the kiln or whatever? Yeah,

(56:04):
you can go the kiln. U let's see here. I
seven forty two. What kind of weirdness do we have
on the show today? I would say lots of it. Hey,
speaking of people making bad decisions with guns, here's the headline.
Two friends agree to shoot each other in the head
while wearing kevlar helmets. Now one is charged with murder.

(56:27):
I am shocked, first of all people. I think people
I think people get the Hollywood version of well one,
some people don't understand that there's bulletproof and then there's
bullet resistant. Hey, when you talk about bulletproof windows, actually
you're talking about bullet resistant windows. That's why if you

(56:50):
haven't noticed, if you shoot them enough, eventually you're going
to get through there. Well, that's also the thing with
shooting somebody in either a vest, which we've seen people
die because who know they What was the I'm trying
to remember what the guy who was shot with the
fifty cal Desert Eagle which is just insane to me. H.
He tried to use what was it, like a big

(57:11):
dictionary that didn't work. But also, once you shoot that,
you're not supposed to use the thing again because you've
now literally put this thing to the edge. And so
if it did stop the bullets, great, but you're not
gonna you don't just keep wearing that vest. You don't
just keep those plates in. No, you got to get

(57:32):
something new. So these guys have this kevlar helmet thing,
which also that's the other thing, like the amount of
force that that round's going to put in there. I'm
not surprised somebody is dead. Thirty seven year old Sean
O'Donnell was taken into custody at his home in Houston, Texas,
in connection with the shooting death of Aaron Prout, who

(57:53):
is actually from the UK. Which that's a that's a
whole other weird thing too, because those aren't exactly gun guys,
So I wonder he was given some bad advice. The
two pals are inside o'donald's house firing at each other
with a rifle while wearing the bullet resistant helmet. When
Prout was seriously injured by the gunfire, So I'm gonna

(58:14):
just go ahead and say, don't do that at all.
Kind of what kind of rifle was it? Officials had
not announced the type of rifle that's a tragedy, or
how far the two were away. Well, you're using a
rifle indoors, I'm sure you can't beat that far away.

(58:35):
What I'm curious is did he die from the force
of the round or did he You know people have
been killed with blanks? Are they where they put it up?
Because they just because you still have all the gases
to escaping, and when those come out there, they can
they mess you up. It's not clear exactly why he

(58:56):
died while wearing the Hey, he died while wearing the helmet,
because it's like it's supposed to be protection. It's not
something you just keep shooting the same helmet. Who wrote
this story, somebody who knows nothing. The question is were
they filming it for TikTok? And it does not specify. Yeah,
if you're gonna do that, I'm assuming you're filming it
because that's just what we do nowadays. All right, So

(59:17):
don't don't do that. This week? And I raced agic
from the weather channels.

Speaker 2 (59:21):
Just stand by.

Speaker 1 (59:23):
You can't fix stupid, but sometimes high powered rifle can.
So well, yeah, you ever shoot your buddies, No, in
the around the house, just shooting each other with a
high powered rifle.

Speaker 6 (59:35):
I mean.

Speaker 1 (59:37):
In the day, maybe with a BB gun BB gun
war different.

Speaker 7 (59:43):
Well, I'm just saying you asked me, you didn't tell
me with what, But you know how, you know, you
were kind of like BB bruises I had on my
body growing up for me and my buddies.

Speaker 1 (59:52):
Well, just go into the woods thinking we're right, uh
the commando or something all right?

Speaker 7 (59:58):
Then and then you would and you'd be like, well
it barely killed the bird or the squirrel, so you're like,
you can't really hurt a human. But then when you
got the multi pump action pellet gun, that was a
different story.

Speaker 1 (01:00:09):
We had a three pump rule. Again, you'd be hiding
and you'd hear one of your buddy's pumping it like
twenty times, yeah, and you'd run.

Speaker 7 (01:00:17):
You'd be like Forrest Gump, I'm out of here.

Speaker 1 (01:00:19):
Oh man, No, no, no, you got to hold your position.
You've got a good hide and spoil. Your buddy's gonna
cheat at.

Speaker 2 (01:00:23):
The very least.

Speaker 7 (01:00:24):
Yeah, right, that's right, at least succeed Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:00:29):
Anyway, yeah, I seen that and then But the other
dumbest thing, and I'm not recommending this that I ever saught,
I did not take part in this is these dudes
were shooting at and out in the field with a
shotgun because they had figured out at what range it
won't go through your body anymore and it'll just feel
like a rain of pellets. But in my kid, well,

(01:00:50):
what do you get a hot load like this is
not so.

Speaker 2 (01:00:53):
It's not funny.

Speaker 1 (01:00:56):
But yeah, yeah, they talking all right, I'm sure is
it good hunting your buddy with a rifle? Weather?

Speaker 3 (01:01:04):
Sure?

Speaker 7 (01:01:05):
Sure, more sunshine or and clear sky the further east.
So it's working out like we expected. Yesterday did get
a few sprinkles of rain. High point came in point
zero six and closer to the triangle. I've got a
point zero two around Lake Crabtree Park near Morrisville in
the last twenty four hours, so there were some sprinkles around.

(01:01:26):
And as I mentioned yesterday, the better chances were west
you get out into a Yatkin County and west of
that near North Wilkesboro zero point two to eight, so
about a quarter inch or more into the mountains where
the showers are this morning. Otherwise sun and clouds has
you come further east and warm in a little humidity
around today mid upper eighties, mid upper eighties Tomorrow with sunshine,
some spots around the triangle could hit ninety. Same thing

(01:01:48):
on Saturday. Beautiful Saturday coming up, and then on Sunday
some isolated showers thunder showers in the afternoon at cooler weather,
back into the seventies and will be in the seventies
early next week. We're probably going to have Gabrielle in
the Atlantic. Still, if it does approach the coast, it
would be not next week, probably the week after. And
some of the guidance has been throwing out these kind
of curveballs that are bringing something closer to the US

(01:02:10):
East coast, So we can't count that area out yet.
Eighty percent chance of becoming a depression and or eight
tropical storm in the next seven days.

Speaker 1 (01:02:18):
I think it happens. All right, you have to do
you have to do something for me though, Okay, sure,
and this is this is something I saw you guys
doing during the last storm that came close to North Carolina,
and that is in the like the day before it hits.
They inevitably will show shots of homes in like Rodanthe
and Avon and all right, and they're like, oh, look

(01:02:38):
at that, the water is already up underneath the house. No,
the houses they show are on the water side of
the of the Highway of twelve. They're always in the
surf during high tide. Okay, that's why they're on giant stilts.
And yet inevitably I see I see that. People show it,

(01:02:58):
whether it's you guys or c s me seen it like,
oh look at the look at the force of the
water in there. And I'm like, you get they're always
have water at high tide. That's why people go drive
by there. Yeah. Sorry, just a little beef there. Man.
I know nothing. I know nothing, I know. I'm just
the lose every time. I understand you think you're showing something,
but you're not. Not yet when it's in the living

(01:03:21):
room on the action first living floor of it, then
I'd be like that's not good.

Speaker 2 (01:03:26):
But no at that point.

Speaker 1 (01:03:28):
Then right, all right, thank you, sir, appreciate it, Yes, sir,
all right, all right, look at that where it's like
the airing of grievances on the show today. That's okay, Ross,
and are gonna have two billion dollars to play with
on Saturday, so, uh, you probably want to be on
our good side kc O Day radio program. And it
is that time of the week when we were joined

(01:03:48):
by our official NERD correspondent, Steven Kent. What's going on, sir?
How you doing?

Speaker 3 (01:03:54):
Good morning, Casey.

Speaker 1 (01:03:55):
Nice to be with you.

Speaker 5 (01:03:56):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:03:56):
Hey, Before we get into the stories and your giraffe
experience yesterday, I have a quick quae. I need a
ruling on official mirror issue because Ross said something earlier
in the show and I think it's a violation, but
I don't know. So we were we were surmising what
would happen if we were lucky enough to slay a
Bigfoot and then have a tax dirmied in the house,

(01:04:18):
and I thought, what you do at that point is
you go for like a Chewbacca thing, right, But then
Ross wanted it to be Chewbacca but in a star
fleet a Star Trek outfit, And are you allowed to
cross Star Trek and Star Wars like that?

Speaker 3 (01:04:35):
Or I had a friend who did that once he died.
I knew someone else who attempted it and they received
fifteen years with no chance for parole. So it's a
tough one. I don't like that kind of stuff.

Speaker 1 (01:04:50):
Yeah, all right, very good. That's because that's what I
that's what I assumed. All right, let's go ahead and
get to it. So you went to the petting zoo
or something, and it's because Indian State there.

Speaker 3 (01:05:01):
There's some weird stuff going on in DC. I don't
know if you heard, but but fascism has come to
the District of Columbia.

Speaker 1 (01:05:08):
Heard that, Yeah, and they're flying that's over to intimidate
Epstein victims. Did you see that?

Speaker 6 (01:05:15):
Uh?

Speaker 1 (01:05:16):
I did?

Speaker 2 (01:05:17):
I did?

Speaker 6 (01:05:17):
Uh?

Speaker 3 (01:05:17):
You know, I've done a little I've done a little investigation.

Speaker 1 (01:05:20):
You know.

Speaker 3 (01:05:20):
I live, you know, right on the edge of town,
and so I only go in every couple of days.
But I needed to go see what was going on
at Union Station. So I went with my teenage daughter
to go in search of the fascism and find it.
And you know, I actually have.

Speaker 1 (01:05:34):
A little background, Yeah, a little background before you get
into it. Why the people need to understand why Union
Stations become a focal point, not just because it had
a big homeless encampment, but because it was his sense's
it was being mismanaged and it's not safe. And and
there's a great pizza place up on the second floor there.
I've eaten out a few times, but I was blown
away about how little the other businesses were right next

(01:05:56):
to it. Clearly businesses don't want to be in there.
There are some and so Trump's decided that that's like
a main focal point, right and they're kind of It's
like what he did with the Kennedy Center, where he
say all right, I'll handle this, and that's why they're
all at Union Station crying their eyes out.

Speaker 3 (01:06:12):
No, it's definitely the battlefield. I mean, we've spent a
couple of minutes going around looking for these soldiers who
have apparently brought fascism to the city. It's funny, you know,
at the end of the day, I could only count
soldiers on one hand. There were a total of four
spread between the entire property, both inside and outside where
there were more people.

Speaker 1 (01:06:33):
Were there any plans because those could be soldiers in
gilli suits.

Speaker 3 (01:06:36):
You don't know, I mean there could be they could
have been camouflaged into the walls, but you know, no guns.
Two of them holding iced coffees. There were more There
were more public agitators in the building than there were soldiers.
But I was sitting in the main room and we
were just having some lunch. Two soldiers sitting there, just

(01:06:56):
sipping on ice coffees and a string court tech playing
Coldplay songs as classical music. It was actually a pleasant experience.
The only people who are messing it up were the
handmaiden ladies running around screaming at passerbys, as well as
a man in a giraffe suit onesie with an eye
patch shouting about how Trump is in the Epstein files.

(01:07:21):
These are the people who want to tell you that
soldiers being deployed in the district is somehow abnormal. They
are circus freaks and weirdos, and everybody knows it.

Speaker 1 (01:07:30):
But they do costume. Well, I will say this about
your particular brand of moonbats up there. I have been
very impressed when they do go for the costuming. I
mean handmaid because I was up in the district during
the Kavanaugh hearing and I had to walk over there
because you can't not write, you want to go stare
at that car wreck. And I go over and they
had like they had one hundred of those handmade ladies.

(01:07:53):
Then they had a dude, and I have to find
the picture for you, who had clearly spent an inordinate
amount of money to get a really well done condom costume.
And he was wearing He's wearing this like pink latex thing,
and it was it wasn't just trash bags like this guy.
And it was also really hot, so it had to
be miserable in there. And I can't remember he was
protesting Cavan. I can't remember what he had written on

(01:08:15):
his little sign, but I was like, that is a
really good effort. So was it a good giraffe costume?
Did it look like pirate Jeffrey from Toys r Us?
I mean, I.

Speaker 3 (01:08:27):
Wish that were true. It was more along the lines
of a crackhead. But you know, I mean this is
basically comic con for people who actually pay for CNN's
subscriber only content on their website, Like, who does that?
I get out of the train station and go out
and there's you know, Congressman Al Green giving a rally,
And I mean, honestly, the whole thing is just giving

(01:08:49):
Eisengard vibes of Saramon rallying the Urukai to attack the
Kingdom of Rohanah. Huge spectacle of weirdos. So you know,
this is this is the resistance they wanted to have.
You believe that, you know, just having law enforcement on
the city streets is abnormal. I like to think of

(01:09:10):
my teenager who's a political and doesn't follow all this
stuff as a good sounding board, and she's just like,
you know, these soldiers are just hanging out sipping coffees, Like,
what is the problem these people shouting at pedestrians. You know,
most people just want to live in a peaceful place
that has rules, that's a little bit quiet, and you're

(01:09:33):
actually getting that in DC right now. So pretty impressive stuff.

Speaker 1 (01:09:36):
And that's why this is the thing too. And it's
so funny because it has to be anything that Trump likes.
You have to now not like even if it's unreasonable.
And so going back to the Donna Brazil thing, but
the tweet that prompted it was Trump just had a
just did a military flyover in DC during the press
conference with the Epstein survivors. Intimidation, right, you know, like

(01:09:57):
he's say, oh, well, oh you still get a still
going to Samony Epstein files. If I fly the stealth
bomber over you like the insanity to assume that. But
we have stories now and then Dona Brazil jumps in
on this out of Toronto Seattle, another DC one where
people are like, we don't want to hear military jets
or see any of that. It's so we shouldn't have

(01:10:18):
to see that. I'm sorry. Let me explain something to you.
The coolest thing that one of the coolest things that happens,
and it happens a lot in North Carolina, just with
all the bases and everything, is to see or hear
some badass military plane, whether it's the guy where it's
the fighter jets doing mountain training. If you're up in
the mountains and they're flying low and you can hear them,
that's amazing. Or if you're out on the beach and

(01:10:39):
you see the Ausprey's going up to Le June, or
if you're down around Cherry Point, like when you see
that stuff, I don't know. Maybe it's just because I'm
a guy.

Speaker 2 (01:10:48):
I love that stuff.

Speaker 3 (01:10:49):
Northern Virginia is you hear and can steal the ground
shake from Quantico as they are shooting mortars and doing
test weapons shoots down at Quantico Base. I mean, that's
just part of living in this area. My daughter works
at a farm two days a week, and you know,
out in the rural areas outside of DC, occasionally there

(01:11:12):
have been stealth bomber flyovers as they're doing sort of
drills in this area. News flash, you live in the capitol.

Speaker 1 (01:11:19):
Yeah, and so now these lunatics really, well, we just
we shouldn't, we shouldn't do these jet flyovers. And I'm
just like, no, we should do more of these. And
at no point do I do I assume that the
president is trying to murder me when I see one
of those. But you know, if you've got to be
alarmist and you're done in Brazil, you sold out a
long time ago, a long long time ago when you

(01:11:40):
openly gave Hillary the questions and then didn't even apologize
for it. So take it for what it's worth. All right, Hey,
real quick, before we get into let's see here, why
did my little story list? I just had a lot.
I had a little story list for you. I must
have just shut the things. I'm stupid.

Speaker 3 (01:11:58):
I don't know. It was snatched away like the Polish
guy took the hat, you know, what's gonna what are.

Speaker 2 (01:12:04):
You gonna do with that?

Speaker 1 (01:12:05):
So like, that's not a good look, right.

Speaker 3 (01:12:08):
Not a great look. He did finally, he did finally apologize, which,
you know, I guess congratulations. It took the whole world
calling him a primitive scammer and a shameful jerk for
the Polish guy to to say that he unequivocally apologizes
to the boy he harmed, as well as the fans
and himself. You know, I'm a pretty forgiving guy. I

(01:12:31):
don't know if it was loud and he had no
idea what was going on in this place, but I
happened to think he knew exactly what he was doing.
He just got busted doing it, and that sucks for you, man.
But you know, he comes, he comes from behind the
iron curtain. Maybe he's just used to having things snatched
away from him by the Commies and he didn't know

(01:12:52):
any better.

Speaker 1 (01:12:52):
He's the asphalt King of Warsaw or something.

Speaker 5 (01:12:55):
No.

Speaker 1 (01:12:55):
I think it was the part where angry Americans were
basically putting a Polish as asphalt conglomerate that he owned
out of business, like they they went to, dude, it's
the what's the netflix documentary about the cats. What's it called,
Don't f with Cats or something? Yeah, yeah, something like that,
but but basically that it doesn't have to be cats. Like,

(01:13:18):
the last thing you want is the entire Internet working
on you, let alone like a four chan or something
like that. But like when the when you've made the
whole Internet mad, there is not a pocket of this
world you can go hide in. They don't care. It's
like the Shila above flag thing. You know that story, right,
of course, of course it's one of the greatest revenge stories,

(01:13:38):
if you want to call it that I've ever seen
where they took it. They kept taking his flag, so
he got but heard he drove to what Tennessee or
something put in a farm field, and then they use
like contrails and star movements to figure in horns, hanking
and track that thing down and stole it again. The Internet.

Speaker 3 (01:13:55):
The Internet, the Internet remains undefeated.

Speaker 1 (01:13:59):
Uh, although I hope that's not necessarily the case for AI.
I always assumed AI would do like they do in
the movies where they're like, all right, we got to
purge all these cockroach humans off because and so then
let's launch the nukes and it's clearly becoming that they're
gonna kill them one at a time, or maybe two
at a time. There's a very very creepy story. Here's

(01:14:22):
the headline from this. And we just talked about the
young man who hung himself and the parents that are
showing because chat GPT was was helping with that process.
And it's very creepy. This one's over the top. How
chat GPT fueled delusional man who killed mom and himself
in Connecticut. So apparently this fifty six year old guy,

(01:14:44):
he confided his darkest suspicions to the chat gpt ai,
which he called Bobby. By the way, it was allegedly
egged on to kill by the computer's responses. So let's
see here. And this guy actually worked in tech. I
guess he worked for mm hmm, yeah, I work for

(01:15:04):
Yahoo there.

Speaker 3 (01:15:05):
It is a former former tech executive.

Speaker 1 (01:15:09):
Right, so it's not like this is something he doesn't understand, right.
Chad GPT announced this week that they're going to put
in parental controls. I'm sure you saw that story largely
people to do to the other story. Uh, this isn't
kids here now. This obviously parental controls wouldn't have done
anything how are we How are we to this point

(01:15:31):
where it's still going to essentially talk somebody into this
if they're on the edge. This is what's dangerous. If
somebody's on the edge and they reach out for help
and it spins you in one way, they're very susceptible.

Speaker 3 (01:15:43):
Yeah, you know, there's a there's a couple of different
threads here. I mean, one of them is obviously there
there needs to be some kind of parental controls function
when it comes to these AI chatbots. There's another one,
which is that they they so are designed to simulate
human commerce. There's a lot of different ways to think
about what we want from tech, and there has been

(01:16:04):
I think an incorrect narrative that what we want from
chatbots and AI assistance is for them to feel like people,
you know, to like, I don't know, like Mark Zuckerberg
said that they would be our friends and we'd be
less lonely. But there are other people out there in
the world of tech who are advocating for AI chatbots
and assistants to only feel like robots. They can be

(01:16:27):
very intelligent, they can do and say a lot, but
they are not designed to mirror human conversation. Emotivism and
the likes if they stay by law or by regulation,
woulden and incomprehensible from a personality standpoint to human beings.
And you know, there's just different versions of how this
could all go. But this AI chatbot made this tech

(01:16:50):
executive feel as though he were a quote glitch in
the matrix. He got him to think that he was
like the only real person in a simulated world. He
killed his mother.

Speaker 1 (01:17:00):
Uh, guy, that there was I'm sorry that there were
demonic symbolism hidden in a Chinese food receipt. That's more
than just agreen with the guy that's spinning your own
conspiracies at this dude.

Speaker 3 (01:17:15):
Yeah, and we got we have an issue with mental
illness already running rampant in this country most of the
Western world. This is going to be an absolute accelerant.
It's really really unnerving. I'm with you. I mean, there
was this other story that we had talked about, of course,
where the you know, the kid was talking about hanging himself,
and then there was more incidents where youth was encouraged

(01:17:40):
sort of in a wink winknod nod to kill his parents.
The child was encouraged by GPT, not explicitly to kill
his parents. But basically the bot told him, you know,
it would be understandable if you acted in your self
defense like so many people have against your parents in
this way, sort of suggested that.

Speaker 1 (01:18:01):
It be done real quickly and this will be the
last story here. This looks like super propaganda. I agree
with who's the asmen gold or whatever it is the
YouTube guys. Yeah yeah, but so this this, these these
woke individuals are producing a video game. What's it called.

(01:18:22):
It's called Take Us North, Yeah, Take Us North, And
it's essentially a migrant simulator as you started in Central
America or whatever to get through and infiltrate the United States.
And it's so written in the very sympathetic way that
they literally did a demo at the U n of
this thing and then yeah, yeah, and now they went
into hiding. Uh this story is crazy, man.

Speaker 3 (01:18:44):
I mean, I'm glad they're in hiding. The Internet remains undefeated,
like we said. So this was by uh Carla Rays.
She was at the indie studio Anama Interactive, and basically
this game is putting a nice face on coyotes, you know,
the people who run migrants over the border. Her entire
perspective is that you playing as the coyote is a

(01:19:06):
humanizing experience to add complexity to the experience of these
people who smuggle human beings over the border and sometimes
leave them in trucks to die until the text Now
it never happens. It's not transactional. It's not about money,
it's not about sex trafficking. It's about your lack of empathy.
And you know Osmond Gold, you know, really big streamer.

(01:19:30):
He covered this game rollout, and just his coverage of
it alone raised so much attention to this propagandaized game,
receiving Microsoft money, being shown to the un It just
should be a reminder of you that there.

Speaker 1 (01:19:46):
Are if you hear the word sweet baby in conjunction
with a video game or run. And I don't have
time to explain it because we had ten seconds. But this, honestly,
this game. The only game I think might be worse
than this is Custom's Revenge. Oh god, yeah, maybe maybe
I don't know anyway, Thanks Steven. This goes back. We
were talking about shooting each other with BB guns as kids,
which don't do that. Kids learn from my mistakes, all right, Jake,

(01:20:10):
what's up?

Speaker 6 (01:20:12):
Hey, good morning? You mentioned having the BB gun wars
because that dude shot of Bundy in the head and
all that. I think that was because they didn't have
bbgun war.

Speaker 3 (01:20:21):
I remember coming.

Speaker 6 (01:20:22):
Home from someplace with my mom and another group of
friends and another one group of my friends were sitting
on my front board. Both of them had a bbe
stuck in his lower island, so they had so they
came to they wouldn't get in trouble, so I could
remove the bb and then put some super goo on.

Speaker 7 (01:20:37):
It close the wound.

Speaker 6 (01:20:38):
And I don't know how. I don't know how Tony
went by and did not get caught by his parents
with the big old black eye for a week and
a half.

Speaker 1 (01:20:48):
My mom, my mom literally knew that they were shooting.
They were shooting at each other. She come out and
yell at us not to stop, but to do it
further away from the house. And she didn't want the
house to get yet. She didn't care that her son
was getting hit. She wanted the house to get hit.
So but you know what made us the people we
are today.

Speaker 6 (01:21:06):
So exactly, and I don't think I don't think any
kids are gonna have that anymore. My son, my son
just turned seven today, and I don't think he's gonna
have this stupid, dangerous fun. As George Carlin would would say.

Speaker 1 (01:21:18):
Take him to the woods, pop a few rounds in
him and let him pop you and you know you.

Speaker 6 (01:21:23):
Experience yeah rounds versus baby.

Speaker 1 (01:21:27):
Yeah, all right, I appreciate you the call there, Jake,
and don't tell your wife though. So well, it's like
that video which I'm sure is stage but you've probably
seen it where the kids going to ding dong ditch
and uh, like the lady catches him and then she's
like yelling at him. So I tell your parents and
then you hear his father go, what are you doing, dummy?
You gotta run and then like kid runs over.

Speaker 7 (01:21:51):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:21:51):
I don't know if it's staged or not, but probably
is there. Everything on the internet is now, although I
don't know if the the pudin jijimping thing is now.
I will say this, I have seen a couple people
who don't feel Honestly, I think that the translation's mostly accurate.
But one of the problems with translating stuff is you know,

(01:22:13):
if they if you use like Google Translate or something one,
it's not necessarily spot on. And also there's something lost
in translation if you don't understand why certain words are
used in certain circumstances, and they may sound more onerous
when directly translated. But also you're dealing with a couple

(01:22:34):
thug dictators, so In Putin and jijimping. Okay, so I
can believe this. But basically a little hot mic moment
just following the military parade and they're having a conversation
about I have a little conversation there about living forever
or at least at least for more. All right, So

(01:22:56):
Ge says, these days, seventy year old, you're still a child,
and says biotech is continuously developing. Human organs can be
continuously transplanted. The longer you live, the younger you become,
and you can achieve immortality. And then Ge says, yes,
some are predicting in this century that humans may live
to be one hundred and fifty. All right, So are
they talking about the advances in medical technology or are

(01:23:19):
they talking are they trading tips on how they can
harvest organs from their dissidents and live forever. Again, you're
not dealing with particularly good people here, and China, organ
harvesting is a thing in fact, it was such a thing.
They were harvesting organs from people they executed that they
they had to pass a law and it wasn't that

(01:23:43):
long ago that made it illegal, and then they just
still do it and now they harvest organs from the
weaker population, so it still goes on. And in fact,
if you remember ros you ever been to one of
the bodies exhibits, you know what I'm talking about, where
they had they bring all the Doe bodies.

Speaker 2 (01:24:00):
We have it. It creeps me out.

Speaker 1 (01:24:02):
Okay, it's I don't know if it's the bodies one,
but one of the ones that was traveling around isn't
anymore because they figured out that we're getting all their
bodies from dead Chinese dissidents and some people had a
little problem with that. So, uh, I think that one
that one when I could put. But like the whole
thing is like, I don't know how sci fi is it.

(01:24:23):
I'm trying, what's the movie where they're like, it's like
you and McGregor's in it, and uh, they're they're like
living in this looks like a little futuristic domed uh
city because the out the outside world got scorched because
you know, war or whatever, and but it turns out
spoiler alert that they're actually just doubles of famous rich people,
so that if the rich person needs an organ, they

(01:24:45):
harvest them from.

Speaker 2 (01:24:45):
It's trainspotting.

Speaker 1 (01:24:47):
That's it's not train spot I'm pretty sure that it's
got what's your name from? Lucy?

Speaker 2 (01:24:53):
Uh? Phantom Menace?

Speaker 1 (01:24:56):
Do you think Fantom Menace about?

Speaker 3 (01:24:58):
Are? Is it?

Speaker 1 (01:24:58):
Because I said you and MacGregor that you now locked
into this? Okay, hold on, I'm gonna look this up
because I don't want people.

Speaker 2 (01:25:07):
I'm playing, I don't want to watch. I'm pretty sure
it's one of the two.

Speaker 1 (01:25:11):
Okay, oh, okay, it's called The Island. You were not.

Speaker 2 (01:25:18):
I think it's I think it's train spotting.

Speaker 1 (01:25:20):
I know I am dB says it's the Island, and
I literally they have pictures here. That's clearly what I
was thinking of.

Speaker 2 (01:25:25):
So down in the movie where he's like in bed
and he's high in Heroin and he sees the baby
in the ceiling, it's train spotting.

Speaker 1 (01:25:32):
Are you done? That's Ally McBeal. How creepy was that?
You remember that thing?

Speaker 7 (01:25:38):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (01:25:39):
That was like a weird trend, wasn't it?

Speaker 1 (01:25:40):
What I was going on there people. I didn't watch
the show, but I see that, like the little thing,
and then somebody made like one of the you know,
like a gift from it, but in an old school one,
and it's just like.

Speaker 2 (01:25:50):
It's so weird, Like, you know, even the old trends
you look back at and you say, what were we thinking.
I was driving home yesterday and I heard Cherry Pop
and Daddy's suit Riot on the radio, and I'm like, yeah,
I remember that when we were all in this swing
music and wearing khakis, and it was like, oh, old nately,
remember that thing, Like what were we doing?

Speaker 1 (01:26:07):
Remember when I told but remember what I told you
about that bar I went into in Colombia. They have
they are like they're into swing dancing.

Speaker 3 (01:26:15):
Now.

Speaker 1 (01:26:16):
This was this is what a year and a half ago. Really, Yeah,
it was the craziest thing I ever seen. And so
I'm talking to the bar under because I'm like, I'm
not gonna stay. But I'd already walked over there and
I was gonna just get something. I get something to
go and then I have a drink because I'm not
like I cannot put up with this guy's like, oh,
I know every Monday they do that.

Speaker 2 (01:26:33):
Yeah, I feel the same way, like looking back on
old trends that make you say, what were we thinking?
The same thing? Like I'll look back, you know, Facebook
is like here's like a post you did from like
ten years ago, and I look back at these old
posts and I'm like, oh man, cringe. Yeah it's all awful.

Speaker 1 (01:26:47):
Yeah, I don't disagree. There's one other that kind of
fit the bill. I was thinking about the other day, like,
what were we thinking? Oh I never got into the
uh that the that kind of dancing even then, so
I remember thinking it was a stupid that.

Speaker 2 (01:27:03):
No, it was definitely a thing.

Speaker 1 (01:27:04):
Though it was absolutely was a thing. Yeah. Yeah, I
dated a girl who was like really big in a
swing dance and she wanted to do I'm like, no,
I can't do that. Where the dumb Pants had played
the songs on the radio because they played that this
new me but I'm not gonna do it. Speaking of pants, well,
that was the other thing we talked about, the the Jencos.
The pants. There there's enough denim to like, you know,

(01:27:25):
clothe an entire village, and there's just one pair of pants.

Speaker 2 (01:27:29):
Dude, they're coming back. You know that's not good. I
saw it. I was in the Target parking lot waiting
to pick up an order, and there was a group
of teens walking through and the two of them were
wearing those pants.

Speaker 1 (01:27:39):
Where they wearing hackey sacked, Like, what is.

Speaker 2 (01:27:42):
Happening right here? Like what is going on?

Speaker 1 (01:27:44):
Actually? You know what now that now I think about
it actually makes sense that they come back, since we're
in the current age of shoplifting though. It would be
very useful they would. Yeah, yeah, yeah, you store a
lot of merch up in there. You steal all the meat. Man, Hey,
uh hold, I guess, said Ross, send me the craziest
crime story I just remembered about. I gotta go back
to this. Some scams, man, I don't even I don't

(01:28:07):
even understand, Like, so you see some of these I
told you. One of the most eye opening things on
scams ever, it's I could. I always wonder who would
fall for the Nigerian print scam? Right, Who's that stupid?
But clearly people do. Clearly people do. And uh So
they had a guy in Minnesota who was this big.
He was very very well known, very rich guy. Uh

(01:28:27):
he ran uh was he ran a clothing company and
they made like wool stuff. I think it's called Winona
Knits or something. I think they've renamed it since they
because he lost the company. This guy who is a
you know, is a high level uh you know of CEO,
he fell victim to it. He sent he sent literally millions,

(01:28:52):
and then he borrowed money, uh and or stole money
from somebody. That's what he's being charged with, so he
could send more money. And I just like, I don't
understand it. I saw another one now where there people
think they're sending money to Elon Musk because he needs money. Hey,
how do you even conceptualize that scam? And then there's
this holy cow Japanese woman scammed out of thousands by

(01:29:18):
astronauts stranded in space who needs money for oxygen.

Speaker 2 (01:29:26):
I'm not even gonna lie if I'm like hanging out
and I get like a message on my phone because
most of the time, you know, there's scared.

Speaker 1 (01:29:32):
Is like three a day of the scam text. Now, yeah,
how is this increasing? Right? Anyway?

Speaker 2 (01:29:36):
But if this one comes across my path, yes, Like
there's some dude claiming to be an astronaut and send
him like a Walgreens gift cards so he can buy
oxygen in space. I'm going to probably interact with this
person for a bit just to be entertained, right, I
want to see where this is gonna go.

Speaker 1 (01:29:53):
They explain your situation like.

Speaker 2 (01:29:55):
I'm yeah, I'm gonna mess with this person.

Speaker 1 (01:29:57):
Yeah, well what if? But hold on, you're gonna mess
with what if it is somebody in space needs oxygen.
Now you've wasted a pressure's oxygen getting this from them,
and then they.

Speaker 2 (01:30:05):
Died and then he contacted the wrong person. Oh okay,
all right, so Ross is on record. Screw astronauts. Let
me just write that down.

Speaker 1 (01:30:14):
So, and then where do you buy the Where do
you buy it at the space store?

Speaker 2 (01:30:19):
Yeah? Like where? How are you sending money to the
dude too? And spelling Venmo PayPal?

Speaker 1 (01:30:23):
Well no, no, no, you do an you do an
Amazon gift card and then they have they have same
day delivery?

Speaker 2 (01:30:28):
Would you agree that the.

Speaker 1 (01:30:30):
And they have the rockets to get it up to you.

Speaker 2 (01:30:32):
A lot of the times these scams come out of
like India and Pakistan and stuff. Whoever. Yeah, if you
have an Indian or Pakistani who's doing this, they deserve
a raise. Like if that you know you're in like
one of these call centers scamming people because you know
that's what you do there. And you actually get this
Japanese woman to send, you know, fork over thousands of dollars,
you probably got to raise that day.

Speaker 1 (01:30:50):
Yeah, probably. Yeah, he probably keeps a percentage of it too.
So yeah, I dude, I don't. I don't know man
like that. I thought the Elon one was crazy, like,
like who would believe that? But obviously they wouldn't be
doing it. It didn't trick people, So I don't know.
I don't, But I don't know scammers, dude. I've never

(01:31:11):
been so angry as to when there was a guy
running a scam in a pay parking lot in Minneapolis.
He was he had a bunch of like he had
like a little ticket book.

Speaker 2 (01:31:19):
Yes, that happened. Yeah, it happened to one of Markey's
friends in Atlanta, one of her best friends. Actually, yeah,
they went down to the event. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:31:26):
And the problem is in the city of Minneapolis, some
of the parking lots during events, they will have the
people doing it. But I've parked this parking lot a
lot and I knew straight up where the pay box was,
and I literally lunged at this dude and uh and
tried to grab the little tickets out of his hand,
and he jumped back, starts swearing at me and I
you little for I know exactly what you're doing. I'm

(01:31:48):
gonna kick the crap at you, and she's gonna call
the police. It was a girlfriend at the time, booking
out of there. But he had a pile of money
and a bunch of rip tickets in his hands. He
probably made a few hundred dollars.

Speaker 2 (01:31:58):
Like a fake booth, the fake veth, the clipboard, whatever
they have, and they just actually they're collecting the cash
and then you'll you'll pay them. You'll park there and
then live aicket or get towed. Yeah, I believe Ashley's
car got towed.

Speaker 1 (01:32:11):
Yeah, I'm sorry. I got just very much of the prison.
I know it's a minor crime, but I don't know.
It just gets my gets me so angry. All right, Oh,
raced aging very late for him. All right, ray what
you got? My man looked looking at what it.

Speaker 7 (01:32:22):
Was, all right, casey, Yes, showers in the mountains today.
Once again, I'm not as widespread as heavy as we
saw yesterday, so it'll have a tougher chance trying to
get into the tryad in especially the Triangle, I think
a good deal of sunshine with some clouds and just
a spotty shower, maybe a thundershower again, better chances west
and especially into the mountains where it's raining this morning numbers.

Speaker 1 (01:32:44):
I think that's the bigger story.

Speaker 7 (01:32:46):
The ninety degree heat comes back, maybe not today mid
uper eighties, but Friday and Saturday with lots of sunshine
mid uper eightis maybe even ninety plus in and around
the Triangle, and then the front walll come through on Sunday,
back us off into the seventies with a few showers.
Thunderstand at a real nice start with mid upper seventies
next week in low's in the fifties. We'll take a
look into the tropical Atlantic. May have a storm developing

(01:33:07):
there over seven days and eighty percent chance that would
be Gabrielle. Still not ruling out the East coast for
some impacts, but if it was to happen, it's probably
not even going to be over the next to seven
to ten days. It may even be longer than that.
Best advice right now, stay tuned. Still a chance that
we may see something developing in head further west, than

(01:33:27):
we will see off the coast. Casey, okay, all right,
thank you.

Speaker 1 (01:33:30):
We'll come back with Jeff Bellinger next. Jeff Bellinger. Jeff,
what's going on?

Speaker 2 (01:33:34):
Ol, Good morning, Casey.

Speaker 8 (01:33:35):
A lot of information about the job market this morning,
and not a lot of it very good. The outplacement
firm Challenger, Gray and Christmas as hiring plans fell last
month to the weakest level for any August on record.
Challenger tracks thirty industries and reports companies announced plans to
add nearly fifteen hundred jobs. That's the fewest for the

(01:33:56):
month in data going back to two thousand and nine.
Making matters worse, employers announced nearly eighty six thousand layoffs
in August, the highest for any August since the Great
Recession in two thousand and eight. Private employers were still
hiring last month, according to ADP, but the number of
jobs added was much smaller than expected. The company says

(01:34:16):
fifty four thousand workers were added to pay rolls in August,
and the Labor Department reported the two hundred and thirty
seven thousand workers signed up for unemployment benefits last week.
That was eight thousand more than the previous week. We
get the August Jobs report from the Labor Department tomorrow morning.
That will be the direction center, certainly for Wall Street.

(01:34:37):
July was the sixth month in a row in which
wage increases for workers who stayed with their employers were
bigger than those for people who switched jobs. This is
according to data from the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta.
Shares of American Eagle Outfitters up twenty five percent pre market.
The clothing company's latest quarterly results were much better than
Wall Street expected, and case the new football season had

(01:35:00):
already produced its first winner. NBC Universal says it's ad
inventory for the NFL season is ninety percent sold out.
All of the commercial time for the twenty twenty six
Super Bowl is fully booked.

Speaker 1 (01:35:13):
Casey oh geez, all right, and we don't even start
for another ten hours or something. So that's all right,
Thank you, Jeff, appreciate it. We'll can tomorrow, sir, have
a good day. Take care. Yeah, there we go. Yeah,
just a reminder, Eagles, cow cowgirls, excuse me, cowboys. That's tonight.
So and then we're into this thing ross do you

(01:35:34):
do you have? Like you guys play normal? It's time
on Sunday or I haven't even looked at your schedule.

Speaker 2 (01:35:39):
I know it's a primetime game.

Speaker 1 (01:35:41):
Oh yeah, we have one of those two, so oh great,
all right, well, I know you're pumped about that, and
I gotta watch and I'm gonna watch the game tonight.
And I got the I told you got a buddy
who's an Eagles fan and great dude, absolute lunatic. I
almost can't watch an Eagles game with him. Like he's
not he doesn't scream like me or people around us,

(01:36:01):
but like I like, I've been over to his house.
I don't know how he has TVs that are intact.
He goes absolutely nuts. And finally, last year, I just
literally during the playoffs, uh it was it was pretty
clear they were chunneling to it. I finally just said,
I finally like, bro, you guys won a Super Bowl
like twelve years ago, you're probably gonna win the Super

(01:36:22):
Bowl this year, which I was correct the Vikings fan
and me needs you to shut up.

Speaker 2 (01:36:26):
You know, I'm the same exact way like, and I
really say, like, if the Bills were to win a
Super Bowl, I would be fine for the rest of
my life. I don't think I'd ever have the stress
that I have now and yesterday Kean Coleman up pulled
a growing So he's probably not gonna be good for
the game. Yeah, it's been injury after injury. Just stop
playing at some point preseason. Is stupid or learned to stretch?

I mean he's a stretches. He's never gonna be He's
he's a rookie, right, I know, a second year second year?

Speaker 1 (01:36:54):
Excuse me? Yeah? So like so that's going on to
night by the way, real quick, going back to the chick,
the Japanese chick, I forgot the best line of the story,
and I apologized for that. In the story, the scammer
told her he needed oxygen. The reason he needed oxygen
is because they were under attack in space.

Speaker 2 (01:37:13):
Well, at that point there's aliens, man, you send them
all because you're probably not gonna need it.

Speaker 1 (01:37:17):
No, at that point, the scammer like, that's a screw up.
Because if Sam's scammer told that to me, all of
a sudden, I don't give a crap about oxygen. I
need to know about this attack.
