Episode Transcript

(00:14):
I remember, all right, goodmorning everybody, and welcome. It is

(00:39):
six o seven eight. Now,dude, I read the story yesterday and
I laughed, and then I justreread it again so I could do this
story, and I chuckled again.Because art or something, we wait to
hear the debate going on in thecity of Palm Springs, California. All

(01:07):
right, excuse me. A coupleof things you need to know about Palm
Springs. I mean one, Californiaobviously, but I don't know they got
you know, they got some coolstuff around there and deeper in the valley,
or some good golf courses. PalmSprings itself is kind of it has

(01:34):
It has a very high percentage ofLGBT population. In fact, I think
for a while the whole city councilwas gay. Now I'm pointing that out
because you need to understand the playerswho are arguing here. So the City
of Palm Springs City Council and artscommunity decided that they wanted to put up

(02:01):
a sculpture, which I think ina time when when we tear down so
many things, Yeah, you're you'rerolling the dice here. The memorial would
be an AIDS memorial sculpture, andlet me describe just what you're supposed to

(02:24):
do at the sculpture. The sculpturesnamed by the name by the way,
Philip K. Smith put together adesign for a nine foot limestone sculpture for
the Palm Springs Downtown Park, whichresembles a donut with ridges on it.

(02:49):
The opening at the center is anis about eye level and allows one to
view through the donut with ridges onit, kind of looking ross. You
ever tied a balloon knot? Ever? You ever like put some balloons together
for the first So you tied thatballoon knot you know what I'm saying,

(03:12):
where the rubber gets all cringey andhas ridges on it going down to a
central point. So anyway, youstare through this thing that looks balloon knot
ish, kind of like a doughnutwith ridges on it, and then you
view through the whole in the middle, and that allows one to offer a

(03:36):
connection, a sense of hope,a view beyond of what is directly in
front of you. And the sculpturepromises the abstract piece will provide great beauty
and provide the opportunity for reflection andremembrance. So yeah, so you would

(03:57):
show up to the sculpture, whichlooks, you know, like a donut
with ridges on a big circle,but coming to a ridged, small opening
right in the middle, almost balloonnish in nature, and then you would
peer through the hole, not thefront hole, but the back hole,
right is that That's what the directionswere. You would go then to the

(04:18):
back hole and view the future orsomething through that, and then that would
be your connection. Well, Ican't imagine what the problem is. I
can't understand, uh, you knowwhat some of the folks are upset about.
You know what I think we needto do rossa button bar. I

(04:40):
believe we need to solve a mystery. Whatever. Could a big chunk of
the population be upset based on thedescription of that sculpture, the you know,
the donut with the ridges going inand internal with the hole on the
back, the back hole which isalmost resembling balloon knot of some sorts.

(05:03):
I can't figure out any guesses,any guesses what the problem might be.
Let's we got our assault. Iknow it's early, and it's it's more
challenging to solve the mysteries this earlybecause our brains are not all the way
on what could possibly it's a giantbutt. They the sculpture is not just

(05:28):
a butt. It is a veryspecific portion of said and they want a
giant nine foot one of those thatyou go peer through. Is that the
most California sculpture you've ever heard inyour life? And what is the what's
the thought process there where we're toreceive enlightenment staring down the chasm of that?

(05:59):
I have so many questions. Andeven in a town that is chock
full of moonbats, even in atown chock full of moonbats, apparently a
good chunk of them. Also,don't want a giant goatsie memorial or whatever
that is. There's an old schoolreference to the internet you shouldn't look up.

(06:24):
However, a local group of residentssay, the proposed memorial looks like
none of those things, but rathera graphic depiction of the backside of a
human being. Should we really havean AIDS memorial that looks like, you

(06:45):
know, that part of the body? Oh? Man, what a what
a great state in the sense thatall this is, this is what you're
going to fight out things about becauseyou live over in Palm Springs. It's
pretty swanky, pretty swanky. Nota lot of problems in the world if

(07:09):
you have a lot of money,which most of these cats do. Oh
you know who lives? Ross didn'tour old, old old? I don't
think how many iterations ago? Ohm isn't Didn't he end up down there
after we went to like Portland orsomething. Yeah, I think that's where
he moved to. Yeah, ohman, I got a text him about

(07:30):
this. Yeah, I think helives because I need to. I need
to know what the what is it? They say? Now? What the
tea is? I'm so hip.I watched a YouTube video. But yeah,
yeah, so now it's a towndivided over over that, all right.
I don't know why I love thatstory, due I do. Ironically.

(07:54):
The statue is directly adjacent a twentysix foot all Marilyn Monroe statue erected
in twenty twenty one, and it'sthe famous scene from the Seven Year Itch,
which I can understand why a bigchunk of the population wouldn't like that
one either. But that's a differentthing, all right. Six fifteen k

(08:18):
c O Day radio program hang onSmart Talk all Day, four five w
PTI in the Triad and one uhsix one FM Talk in the triangle.
All right, good morning six twentyhere on the k CEO Day radio program.

(08:41):
Wow, some of you are ableto solve the mystery of what the
sculpture looks like. And you're sendingme emails I have to delete now,
So thank you for that. Youknow, in a in a town that
is chock full of spinmeisters, rightyou have till you have like debates or
something. Then you go to thespin room and they have these these trollish

(09:03):
people whose job is to simply standin there and almost recreate what was simply
just said by a candidate, orsometimes to coach politicians who find themselves in
a spot of trouble so that theycan so that they can properly obfuskate what

(09:28):
is going on and to save theirhides. And they're very you know,
so they're very good at it.Look at the Clinton's over the years.
Man. It's a lot easier withwilling media, of course, But with
that in mind, somebody who's beenin Washington thirty years, you think would
have access to some some people whoare real good at lyon. So I

(09:50):
gotta tell you, when I seeBob Menendez having you explain hundreds of thousands
of dollars in cash, car goldgold bricks with that he had literally had
stamped with a Senate logo in somecases, and he's just kind of got
it all and there's fingerprints on itof people. They're literally saying, he's

(10:13):
connected. I mean, you're gonnaneed somebody who's really, really good at
this. So they consulted whoever theyconsulted, and this is apparently what they
told Menendez to say. For thirtyyears, I have withdrawn thousands of dollars

(10:35):
in cash from my personal savings account, which I have kept for emergencies and
because of the history of my familyfacing confiscation in Cuba. What I look,
I understand keeping an emergency amount ofcash. I think most people I
know that are, you know,have the financial ability to do it,

(10:58):
tend to keep keep some cash onhand. You never know. We had
an issue with US Bank a coupleof months ago, and for like a
day and a half, nobody couldaccess their account. You know, if
if if in that case that wasyour only bank and you didn't keep cash

(11:20):
on hand, you be kind ofscrewed. Man. So I get it,
I get it. I don't getthat, what does he mean his
how old was he when he camehere. I mean his memory of Castor,
I believe is predicated on what isrelatives told him. And don't get
me wrong, I think that hasan impact. I think for anyone who's

(11:41):
had to h who has maybe firstgeneration family or family members they have that
have come over from you know,you know, maybe the Balkans back in
the day. They do things alittle different. But you ain't in Havana
anymore. And that's the best youcould come up with. I think the

(12:03):
dude with the cash and the freezerhad a better excuse than I remember that
Castro guy, and I didn't wanthim to confiscate all my dubloons, right
so, and plus when you whenyou're doing gold bars and you're you're stamping
them with vanity stamps and you don'twash fingerprints off, I don't know that

(12:26):
that's gonna look real good man,especially with how long you've been in the
Senate and how much money you've seemedto acquire, especially this this money which
is super off the books, bus. I mean, you don't even split
it up, you keep it alltogether. I don't know what's going on

(12:46):
ross, what do you choose tohoard in it's not as tech gold.
Right, that's the one that's theonly commodity you avoid preferably. What if
happens if you stamp as tech gold, you reef formulated, and then you
put your own seal on it,you know, I try to avoid that.
That's the whole point. That's whatI'm saying. That's the one commodity

(13:07):
you tend to avoid. But couldyou take it, melt it down,
stamp your own logo on it,and then it's no longer as tech gold
or once touched, always as techNo, I mean once touches, it's
done. Okay. What about Egyptianartifacts that'd be good to hoard, right,
like Lake sarcophaka Sarcopha Kai, youknow, any sort of small statues

(13:28):
that are in a boy's tomb.What about curse mummies? Well, what's
in the sarcopha guy? Then?If not curse mummies? Yeah, and
you especially want one where they're like, why is this logo upside down?
So it appears some sort of religiousreasons and not good ones. You can
hoard those, but good old Americancurrency that tends to be the go to.

(13:52):
So I appreciate Menendez branching out inhis effort to thwart Castro's efforts of
them robbing sitting senators New Jersey homeand or Washington DC residents. So yeah,
I'm sorry, man, I don'tthink anyone's buying that. Nobody's buying.
Oh, accept Dick Durbin. Letme tell you, Dana, this

(14:13):
is a very serious charge, There'sno question about it. But it bears
reminding us of what I've said aboutthe indictments against Donald Trump, equally serious
charges. These are, in factindictments that have to be proven. Under
the rule of law, the personwho is accused is entitled to the presumption
of innocence, and it's the responsibilityof the government to prove that case.

(14:37):
I said that about Donald Trump,would say the same thing about Bob Menendez.
He can say he said that aboutTrump. But you can also go
back and if somebody had a nicethread yesterday with all these times, he
didn't say that. Look, ifBenendez was smart at all, he would
have gone to consult whatever the Biden'sdue to funnel money, because that seemingly
is a little harder to find.Although there's a lot of records, a

(15:01):
lot of records showing a lot ofpayments distributed, but you know, really
putting a face to that not somuch so. But that's that's the best
they come up with. I wantto know how long that strategy session was.
How long did Menendez sit there withhis advisors and Bengalis and and try
to come up with all Right,I'm gonna tell him, I was scared

(15:22):
of Castro. I'm more terrified ifif I was to have large chunks of
gold without a good origin story,who are you more terrified to have it
confiscated under some of the seizure lawsthat we have agents of Castro coming to

(15:43):
America and conducting this operation, orour own US government because they pulled you
over and said, well, youhave a lot of money your gold on
you. We think it's drug proceeds, and then they just take it immediately.
What are you, as an Americancitizen, who do you think is
more likely to seize your money,your gold, your doubloons? Hell?

(16:08):
Yeah, the US government. Manabsolutely said the seizure laws we have are
still a joke. And there's lotsand lots of horror stories out there.
But you know, Bob Menendez,man, this was his go to because
Castro and I wish these guys wouldhave thought of it, that are arguing
to get their dollars back. Allright, six twenty eight k c O

(16:30):
Day Radio program. Hey, whowants to live to one hundred and twenty?
Well hang loose because you might thelove fall in Raleigh, but hate
to paint. Do what Josh did. He called Rhino'shield. We have a
theater side at home at the endof the Woods painted like nineteen eighties Baige.
We wanted something that was more ofa mid century and modern look.
We were driving around and we sawa sign in somebody's yard and said,

(16:52):
Rhinom Shield. It's not paint.It's not paint. It's better a Runom
shield. The call and they werefantastic with the arrangement on the schedule.
The twenty five year guarantee was importantto us. This is our forever home
and we want to make sure thatwhatever we're doing is going to last a
long time. Rolly, now youcan get the guaranteed protection of Rhino Shield
for twenty percent off the regular price. I'd say, if you're thinking about

(17:14):
Rhino Shield, just do it.It's been two years now and it still
looks like the day of righting your'sowner, Dan Hoey. This offers limited
so call today at eight three threeRhino ninety nine or visit Rhino Shield Carolina
dot com. Don't paint, don'tvinyl, go Rhino Hey, don't final
go right, oh shit, whateverpaints your house sucking nine Shield. Thank

(17:47):
you. Casey is on ninety fourfive w PTI in the Triad and one
oh six one FM Talk in theTriangle. All right, good Morty five.
I saw this story yesterday and Iwas a little cool nervous my first

(18:08):
thought. So there's a doctor hereby the name of Ernest Schwartz who is
in the stem cell field. He'sgiven a given an interview and really talking
about the rapid advances that they're seeingin the field. So and of course

(18:32):
he is combining what he works onalong with best practices. But he has
a message. He says for peoplearound the age of thirty, maybe as
high as forty, but depending ontheir relative health, basically with the advances
in his field, coupled with ahealthy diet and exercise, he says,

(18:56):
there's a bunch of people walking aroundright now that are going to live to
one hundred and twenty because that's wherethe science is. I guess maybe Ross,
you and I think have missed theboat by just a few years.
But would you want to live toone hundred and twenty? Just is annoyed
as like I can only take somuch of people's crap, and I don't

(19:21):
know if I can, if Ican suffer one hundred and twenty years.
Well, I guess it depends,like I don't want to be sitting there
in a chair doing nothing, right, you know, I don't be drooling
away, right, I know whereyou are. Yeah, I mean if
if you were to say, allright, so people that are one hundred
and twenty, then are gonna belike how ninety year olds are here?
Some are quite alert and mobile,where you're just like, oh my gosh,

(19:44):
you're in your nineties. Really,I know a couple of people like
that and others not so much fromone hundred and twenty. And he claims
one hundred and fifty will be normalby the end of the century. This
is bad news for the moonbats,who are like, oh, what we
need to do is we need tokill half the half the population. Well,
this ain't gonna help. Also,then how long are you gonna have

(20:07):
to work. Man, do youthink social Security is unfeasible in its current
form? What happens when they keepit at sixty five and people are living
to one hundred one hundred and twenty. Let's see here. The only person
officially acknowledged to have lived past onehundred and twenty thus far passed away nineteen

(20:30):
ninety seven. She was from France, aged one hundred twenty two years and
one hundred and sixty four days.So though some people question that and say,
maybe you're younger, but still theyagree she lived past a one hundred
and twenty. I don't know,man, that's kind of that's creepy.

(20:51):
I suppose that that's only possible ifwe don't get emped do all sorts of
other stupid craft to each other.So sorry, old running knows what you
gonna do. Weather change that'll doit to you. So with that in
mind, I'm sitting there reading that, going, I don't know if I
want to live to one hundred andtwenty, and then I start clicking through

(21:12):
all these other stories and I'm like, Nah, don't worry, these government
cats will make sure that never happens. Although according to the Biden administration,
they must have solved all the otherproblems we're dealing with, and not just
the record day on the border,which we'll get to. Because the next
great undertaking, according to the officialBiden or the official Potus Twitter account,

(21:37):
is concert tickets. You've probably seenthe ys. There's a couple of things
that they said for some reason,I want to screw with concert tickets and
credit card points for some reason.And I saw like commercials being runs starting
last week, which are the standardpolitical commercials. Obviously it's the credit card
companies who aren't giving their their rosiestversion of what's you know, what's on

(22:02):
the chopping block there? Because itdoes have monetary consequences, But that doesn't
mean Congress should be messing with it, and let alone President Biden going on
a concert ticket a service fee jihadhere. Now, don't get me wrong,
for anyone who's bought a ticket bya concert ticket or a sporting a

(22:25):
sporting event, to some extent,it's baffling what the ticket prices are versus
what the actual checkout prices. Andthat's doing large part to near monopolies by
a couple of companies, and evenon the even controlling the reselling market with
fake spinoff companies. I get it. But the solution, some people would

(22:52):
say is people stop attending the concertsand go Now, that's enough of this
garbage. And I think there's beenenough pushback that you have some artists who
have come out and said that they'reconcerned about it. What that actually is
translated into, I don't know hasbeen anything significant. But this is apparently
what the White House feels we needto work on right here, and this

(23:14):
is one of those. This isa great example of some easy idiot bait.
Okay, this is idiot bait becausethat sounds good, right, because
we've all been annoyed we bought somethingand then all of a sudden, there's
all these other charges. Ironically,many of us have lived through it for
years and years. Every time wepay a phone bill or other utility bills.

(23:38):
You just look on there and yousee all of these additions, and
so many of them are government.You buy an airline ticket, you look
at all the other stuff, likethe nine to eleven dedication fee, the
safety fee, the so all ofthese extra fees, most of which are
born via the government. They arethe greatest addition of service fees and additional

(24:02):
taxes of anything out there far andaway, in my opinion, than even
the number that ticketmaster puts on stuff. Go travel, uh travel somewhere and
rent a hotel in a you know, on a tourist are to go to
one of the beach communities here inNorth Carolina. Go up to Asheville.

(24:23):
Watch out for the hobos, especiallythe tall ones with cigarettes. You know.
Go to one of those places,get yourself a hotel room for the
night, and then check your statementin the morning. The amount of lodging
fees that you know, local municipalitiesstick on to hotel bills is pretty crazy.

(24:48):
So these these these exist in allaspects of our lives, but the
ones that are most visible to peopleare these concert ticket ones because they get
a lot of They get a lotof discussion on forums of people complaining and
now and then politicians are like,well, this is a nice easy thing.
This is a nice easy thing righthere. I'll go out and essentially

(25:11):
tell them I'm gonna, you know, in a way, get money to
them or solve this annoyance which they'renever going to process and think through.
All right, So what happens ifthey go and tell them you can't add
service fees. What do you thinkhappens. Let's say the ticket is fifty
dollars okay, it's a fifty dollarsconcert ticket to some band you want to

(25:34):
see, and then after you buythe ticket, it's seventy two out the
door, okay, and there's aten dollars fee, five dollars fee convenience
fee for doing it online, whichis like, who is it more convenient
for me or you? The companynot having to have a person, living,
breathing person help me out. Solet's say that that ticket is seventy

(25:56):
two dollars, and then the Bidenadministration comes in and they say, all
right, new executive order, whichI'm not sure how it would work,
no more service fees on tickets.Yet there's still the profit motive that the
company has. They're still going tobe the fees associated that the venues charge,
which sometimes are included in those ticket. Well, most of the times

(26:17):
are including those tickets, So that'sa separate issue. What do you think
happens to the price of that concertticket? You think it's a fifty dollars
ticket anymore? No, not achance. That's to say they're going to
charge you seventy bucks for the ticket. That's just going to be the face
price of the ticket. And thenbehind the scenes, however, that money
is split in the ticket pricing.They'll just they'll figure out that division,

(26:42):
and then that'll be the promoters contractand the ticketers contract, because these are
separate. You got promoters, yougot the ticketers, sometimes the same,
but you know, they all havea little piece of this, and they're
also going to get their money,and the buying administration is going to do
nothing except drive up the fee ofthe tickets, and ironically, they're going

(27:06):
to drive up probably the resell priceof tickets because many times when you resell
a ticket, you know, there'san ebb and flow. For these big
companies, they want to get thehigh prices for a high demand, but
they also don't want to just throwaway a bunch of tickets. So they're
going to price accordingly tickets a lotof times based on face value. So

(27:27):
they're willing to eat some of thefees because they've made money on the other
tickets. As you get closer toa thing, So yep, my administration
is working to crack down on thesejunk fees, so you know what you're
paying for up front. Well,I know what I'm paying for when I
go to check out, right,they don't. It doesn't say that fifty

(27:49):
dollars ticket, I'm gonna charge yourcredit card that it tells me. And
I have to see that number,and I got to make that face and
go, oh, these two ticketsfifty bucks apiece and it's one hundred and
four eight dollars. I gotta pay. And then I can go no,
screw that, or I can hitthe button, close my eyes and not
watch the alert pop up on myphone because it's too depressing. But hey,

(28:12):
that's what we're going to be doing, all right, we got a
little border update. We set arecord. Also, you have Democrats in
Texas getting on the bus thing man. Yeah, yeah, they're getting all
aboard what evil Gray Gabbott and deSantists were doing. And then you've got

(28:34):
you know, the mayor up therein New York who's saying things that immigrants
rights groups are not happy about.And it's pretty interesting how everything is changed
as this problem has now been expandedinto all of these previously protected but welcoming
communities. So U and apparently theytried to claim a piece of us yesterday.

(29:03):
Serious, Oh yeah, planet aflag and everything. Details coming up.
Hang on one oh six one FMTalk and ninety four five w PTI,
two stations driving the best end talk. This is case O Day and
Carolina's Morning News. So to saythat Sunday was a heavy lift for US

(29:30):
Customs and Border Protection would be anunderstatement. In fact, it was a
record breaking lift. According to aBorder Protection Sunday, in a twenty four
hour period, officials dealt with overeleven thousand migrant encounters on the Southwest border
in a twenty four hour period,the single highest day in modern memory.

(29:56):
Eagle Pass passed through on its ownhandled four thousand. So Eagle Pass,
Texas very very busy border crossing,but so as areas. You know,
they're in California as well. Buteleven thousand in one day, I'll let
you do the math on an annualbasis if that was to become a sustained

(30:21):
number. In fact, I'll makeit easy so you can do the math
in your head this morning. Let'ssay it's just ten thousand a day,
three hundred sixty five days. Now, all you've got to do is add
some Zeros and you start to geta handle on this, and that is
why in some cases even democratic politiciansare getting in on the bussing. Democratic

(30:45):
mayor of El Paso, Texas saysthe city has reached a breaking point with
keep in mind, the breaking pointof El Paso is many duplicate times that
of what New York has taken.In New York has screen poverty. So
now the mayor of El Paso says, we're at our We're at our limit.

(31:06):
They're seeing on average, two thousandmigrants per day that are taking advantage
of shelters or resources offered in thecity of El Paso, but thus bringing
them into you know, the citylimits. There. The city of El
Paso has only so many resources.We cannot do this, said Oscar Lesser,

(31:27):
the Democratic mayor. So the cityof El Paso themselves has chartered buses
and is shipping migrants to New York, Chicago and Denver. Wait, now,
I guess what does this talking pointturn into now that you have Democrats
doing it. Recent polls at sixtytwo percent of Americans are unhappy with the

(31:52):
way that the administration is handling theborder, and the other thirty eight percent
are in a coma, I guess, or just partisan pieces of crap who
wouldn't be honest until bus loads showedup near their house. I've been getting
spy reports too from people this morningon the some some bus loads who may

(32:15):
have come to Greensboro over the weekend. Let's see here he has several emails.
Here here we go so Kenn Road. He says, yes, I

(32:35):
saw several bus loads of immigrants.But well, I guess how did you
know? But he said they werebeing processed, Oh, near a shopping
center. Is it it's a vacantshopping center or are they using it as
housing? Maybe? All right,well, I'm not gonna say where that

(32:55):
is unless somebody has a little moredefinitive information. But you're not the only
one to tell me that, okay, And I wouldn't be surprised. I
mean, obviously, the ones thatare gonna get the headlines are gonna be
like New York, Chicago, SanFrancisco due to the hyper political nature of
all of that and how nasty thatfight's gotten. I mean, those are

(33:20):
the ones going to get the bigcoverage because they're screaming bloody murder. Meanwhile,
in Greensboro, when people raise concernsabout maybe the conversion of an old
school to house primarily soon to beadult men, solo travelers, or any
of this, or what we sawunder cover of darkness under the Obama administration

(33:42):
where they were shipping people to NorthCarolina and didn't even bother to tell the
governors. Well that's McCary claimed thatnobody contacted him, and I tend to
believe him on that. I thinkthe FEDS would just be like, now
we're the Feds, will do whateverwe want. So yeah, yeah,
it's not just the big cities,it's it's lots of places. In fact,

(34:07):
uh, Desantists and Newsome, Iguess, are going to debate on
Hannity. I don't even know whatthat's gonna look like, but you can
guarantee because Newsom wanted to Santists investigatedand like arrested for the Martha's Vineyard thing
and some of the bussing stuff,so they can find it out. It's

(34:27):
gonna be a busy week for that. In fact, we got a debate
tomorrow, the second Republican debate.Donald Trump will not be in it.
Ross you all ready for debate partytime viewing tomorrow huh getting all that together?
Getting Yeah, I'm sorry, I'mnot hearing you properly in my headphones,
getting the palm palms? Broadcasting froma tunnel or something? Is it

(34:50):
you think can the audience here?Do you think maybe it's being read?
You know, I want them toI want them to hear this because I
don't want them to miss it.If yah know, I'm pretty sure broken
up everywhere? Oh wow, Okay, well that's not good. Only seven
candidates have met the criteria for thesecond Republican debate. This will be it'll
be at the Reagan Ranch and SemiValley or the Reagan Library. So there's

(35:14):
that. I saw. I sawa bunch online. Uh, And I
think they're running ads on Twitter maybe. And it was that contest to go
to the debate with run de Santistsand I guess have a nice seat and
then get to hang out with himand stuff. It's not that it's run

(35:35):
de Santists, it's that how doesthat sound like a good time? Does
that sound like a good time toyou? Or maybe it's just because of
the business we're in where I'm like, that just sounds like harder work.
It's a pain that's a pain inthe butt man. And what's he is?
He gonna go over his answers withyou before and be like, oh,
so what do your think? So? And again it's not because it's

(35:57):
fun to stand it. It's like, I don't I I wouldn't want to
spend a debate with any of theseguys. Are gonna be on edge.
Man. I heard you get tosit next to Bobert though. Really,
how dark is the theater? It'svery so dark? Is it pitch black?
Oh wow? Okay, but anythingcould happen never, I understand it.
All right, Well maybe I'll rethinkmy position. All right, Good

(36:43):
morning, everybody, and welcome toour number two here on the k c
O Day radio program. So,with the Hollywood writer strike looking like it
might be coming to an end,now the opportunity for the studios to announce
their big projects while there's still alot of cameras point in direction of you

(37:08):
know all of this. They tookthe opportunity yesterday and one of the biggest
announced was NBC is rebooting The Office. So nothing but good news pouring out
of that. I don't know,I have no idea. I'm reading this

(37:30):
article. They don't give details ofwhich actors would return, But let's face
it, Karl's not coming back,right Like, that's not that he's really
up to a bunch right now thatI'm aware of, but he's probably not
coming back. Maybe you get andthen what's the premise of it too?
You just pick up where you leftoff, where you just you gotta picked

(37:52):
a couple of characters and highlight it. And it's like, I can just
think of all of the different waysin which NBC could do this. And
then also in the most most wokemanner, right, you just get the
women from the office and now theystarted some other thing and they're all CEOs
or something like. I don't Idon't know. The very same executive producer

(38:19):
Daniels is behind it. However,did not say which stars would be there
or even what the spinoff or rebootwould look like. So tis a mystery,
and I'm sure everyone's very excited aboutall right. So I mentioned as
part of the border insanity the flagplants. So I don't know if you
saw this, Well, what's that? All right? Thank you? So

(38:47):
there's video of one of the islandsin the Rio Grand and some migrants who
got out to the island from theMexico side. Even though the island is
so the island is a US ownedright, it's on our side of the
river, so that is on USproperty. So what happened, Well,

(39:09):
a bunch of migrants got up onthe island and decided that they were going
to claim it. This is nearEagle Pass, Texas. On video,
you see them hoisting a flag.I've seen it described as resembling a Colombian
flag. I think it looks moreVenezuelan, but you know, that's just

(39:30):
me. But either way, obviously, if they're leaving either of those countries,
I don't think they're claiming it onbehalf of Columbia or Venezuela. But
also that doesn't work, Okay,you can't just go and grab and now
the difference is we claimed an island, but it was an island that emerged.

(39:54):
This is not an emergent island.This is a known island. It's
got a name, it's on theyou know, it's on topographical maps.
It doesn't count. The one thatwe claimed for the show was the one
that emerged off Point Hatteras, whichwe were the first to call ours.
And then you know, the Feds. They're like doubts ours, and you

(40:17):
know, they got the power ofthe guns, so we didn't get our
island. And then they named itwhat Sandy Island or something, just stupid.
But now these cats put up aflag and everything, and it worked
for about ten minutes. It worked. The Nation of Venezuela Stand or Columbia
Stand or whatever they were putting togetherlasted until apparently they have they have a

(40:45):
quick react marine tactical squad within customsand Border protection, and they made pretty
busy work of the flag. Theno, you don't get to come here
and claim land. And I sawpeople, I kid you not on Twitter
talking about this. Who are theseopen borders? They hate everything that any
any anybody with white skin happened todo during the exploration days. And don't

(41:12):
get me wrong, there's lots tohate man. Of course they were not.
It was not just European countries thatwere conquesting during this time. You
should you should see the ebb andflow of the African continent, which obviously
does have a European colonization history,but was basically a warlord of Thawn among

(41:35):
various tribes and groups of people.There not to mention folks from North Africa
who were conquestioning to parts of Europethe Asian conquest Japan, I mean,
took over China. Come on,and you know all these things were going
on, but only ever reminded ofthis, and so they're like, they're

(41:55):
like, good, it's a littletaste of your own medicine, America.
And I saw a couple of thosehot takes. Is it? Is it
a Let me ask you a question, just see if there's any differences here.
Ross. Would you say that theEuropean conquest manifest destiny in the eventual

(42:22):
settlement of the entirety of the NorthAmerican continent, much of it by the
United States of America, which youknow exists to this day without yielding back
land. Would you say that thatwas a more successful endeavor than six migrants
with a quasi Venezuelan flag on amini island which was immediately taken by a

(42:45):
guy's in a rubber boat, whichwould you say is technically a taste of
our own medicine and how it playedout, because I feel like one was
more successful than the I've looked overthe facts that you've laid out, and
I have decided and determine in certainty, Yes, that the American manifest destiny,
if you will, it was moreof a success. Oh wow,

(43:07):
okay, are you basing that ontotal land acquisition? Expect me economic revenue
from said piece of land. Thereare several factors I see, okay,
because that looked a little less successfulto my eyes. But I look,

(43:30):
I wasn't here for the American Revolutionand the eventual settlement of the whole content,
you know, continent. I've seensome stuff, but I got to
watch these idiots with their flag yesterday, and it did not go well.
I mean, to be fair,they didn't have Andrew Jackson. They didn't.
But there's also like the island's notbig enough for much of a march,
you know what I'm saying, Right, So if you tried to relocate

(43:52):
people from one side of the islandto the other, I was gonna say,
not only does it run the riskof it but over but they'll be
able to still talk to each otherwith a slightly raised voice. Well,
I mean, that's another thing wehad in our favor. Right. So
we weren't on an island. Wewere on a land mass, so we

(44:14):
wouldn't tip over them being on anisland, it could tip danger. But
it is case one is a landmass and one is an island. Yeah,
completely different, Yes it's one.Lady. She's just like, Oh,
isn't it funny? How how allof you white people deal with it
when it's brown people planning flags onyour land? And I'm like, you

(44:37):
remember that there were groups that didtry to deal with it like that.
It just didn't work out because numbersand stuff and technology and and you know,
just the reality of the day.But how you would compare those two,
I don't know, man, I'mnot one hundred percent sure. The
irony, of course is since alreadyin the US they didn't process those micrants

(44:58):
who were trying to plan they literallytried to come take our country. And
you're just like, welcome to America. Oh we're so dumb. Seven fourteen,
Hang in your day smarter one ohsix one am talking and talk five
PTI more with Casey Starts. Now, it's not my job here on the

(45:25):
radio to help people in the commissionof crimes, but sometimes things need pointed
out. If you're planning a heist, and I mean one that's going to
take a few hours or a crimespree, you're probably better off not having
distractions or not having downtime and maximizingthe amount of spree and heist time that

(45:50):
you're using, because anytime you're activelyinvolved in it, there's circumstances that you
can't control. For maybe there's somecops right around the corner eating lunch and
they see what's you know you're upto where you break it into something,
So you should probably eat first,is my advice. Get hydrated, want

(46:13):
to be hydrated, eat first,study your schematics, and then you know,
get to work. That's what theguys, the best in the business
do. What the worst in thebusiness do, is what nineteen year old
Antonio Murray was arrested for in SaintLouis. According to authorities, Murray decided
he was going to go on acrime spree, and he did. Let's

(46:40):
see here, where what all washe up to? Let me I got
the whole list here. Some ofit's pretty horrible, by the way,
all right, So his crime spreebegan as he broke into a Saint Louis
home, struck two victims, stolea TV, tased a third victim.
Were that ross We got a taserin here raised raw wants to taste a

(47:00):
bunch of people. He allegedly returnedto the residence, then attacked a man
again, whipped a female victim witha belt. Oh my god, I
can't read this, then retrieved abroomstick and violated the homeowner with it.
Are you catching what I'm putting outhere? Yeah? They call it a

(47:22):
being dam with the broomstick in thein that huh that? Oh he got
beat to death in a shower.Was it with the broomstick? Yeah?
I thought it was. Oh wow, Yeah, so he got dahmerd I
guess the homeowner. Oh my gosh. I then let's see. Then he

(47:46):
committed several uh, let's see robrobbery assaults, burglary, smashing windows,
stealing stuff. However, while hewas masked, he at one point passed
a taco stand where the owner Lilyof the name of the restaurant there or

(48:08):
the stand, was in the middleof preparing a taco for another customer when
Murray, who was moving from onerobbery site to another, saw the taco
and pulled a gun, demanding thathe be given the taco, saying,
quote, the taco belongs to menow. Pointing the gun at multiple people,

(48:30):
grabbed the taco, removed his maskto eat the taco, and that
allowed several witnesses once Murray was eventuallydetained as he went to commit more heinous
crimes to you know, photo lineupbe able to identify him because he had

(48:52):
to have the taco. Can youimagine you're on a crime spree of that
caliber. You're charged with everything underthe sun, including uh, you know
force Sawdomy, which he has chargedwith, and your downfall is you smelled
a taco and you're like, I, I gotta have that ty because you
didn't properly prepare you gotta eat beforeyou go on your horrendous crime spree for

(49:15):
no reason. Plus if that,if I was the person having that taco
prepared for and you came along rightas I'm about to get my taco,
and now I don't get my taco, I'm gonna do everything in my power
to memorize every aspect and be apart of your downfall as revenge. Ross

(49:37):
you asked what kind of taco itwas? Right, yeah, because I
can see, like you know,if I'm like if if I robbed the
vault there in downtown week Forest,Right, where's the vault. Everyone knows
where the vault is. So Irobbed the vault. You know. It's
like a big endeavor, and I'mlike, you know, I'm I'm escaping.
Yeah, it happened to pass.Like it depends on the brand of

(49:57):
the taco. Like I haven't seenDel Taco in a long time when I
lived in a saw, Like Ilove Del Taco, Like Del Taco is
a pinnacle of taco. Del Tacois the Olive Garden of Italian food.
Yeah, it's like Dad could right, So yeah, I ate a lot
of Del Tacos in California, obviouslyat late night bar clothes kind of.
You know, Del Taco. Iremember it being good, but I haven't

(50:21):
had one in so long. I'mafraid that it's one of those foods.
When I eat them again, I'mlike, what was I thinking? No
way, Oh, it would liveup to the hype. So yeah,
if I'm like an escape A rubbedthe vault, yeah, and I'm going
I'm focused. And then but there'sa Del Taco suddenly open and wake Forest,
I might stop, Yeah, ohmy god, it's a Del Taco
and take off your mask and yeah, boom, they got you the brand.

(50:45):
Well, I this this was independent. I mean, this is a
taco cart with a woman who's gota very Hispanic last name, so I'm
sure she's rolling out authentic masa andtacos. It looks like it was a
Cherizo taco, which were among myface fits. So not a Del Taco.
Now a Taco John's taco, whichis superior to a Del Taco.

(51:08):
I haven't tried it. They didn'thave Taco John's in Salt Lake. I'm
almost sure that they did. Idon't remember it because you were you were
team Del Taco. Well you missedout. And some potato alays that could
be that could undermine my crime spree. So anyway, also, did he

(51:32):
wash his hands before the taco?Considering where he was coming from? You
know, perhaps there's some some hysteriaissues or something there that might have to
be addressed. So anyway, he'scharged all the stuff. The gun,
by the way, it turned outto be a baby gun. But obviously
when you're jamming in people's faces,they're not always going to realize that.

(51:55):
So he's charged with the double burglary, smashing window. He stoles some other
stuff, and he's charged with Ohlisten to this. So the way it
works in Missouri because to use afirearm and the commission of it, it
doesn't matter the value of what hestole with the firearm. So even though
he stole like a two dollars taco, it's like a super felony for this

(52:19):
dude. Probably is he's in SaintLouis and they've got that one moon Oh
no, she resigned, that's right, but then the other moon back took
over the George Soros prosecutor. Theykind of ran her from office. But
yeah, we're gonna eat eat aheadof the crime spring. Jake just confirmed
on the phone off air that DelTaco is still elite. I didn't say

(52:43):
it was an elite. I'm justsaying that if it got into the cage
match with Taco John's, it's notgoing to do well in my opinion.
But I haven't inherent biased too,as Taco John's is a Wyoming institution which
extends only as far east as Tennessee. Come on, North Carolina, we
can do better with this Taco John'sfor everybody, or maybe a Del Taco

(53:06):
for Ross. Put it next tothe vault, keeping you connected. This
is ninety four five WPTI in theTriad and one O six one FM Talk
in the Triangle. Yeah, man, I don't, I don't. I
don't know that this marriage is longfor this world. Like, there had

(53:28):
to be some other issues going on. A Virginia man who was arrested by
TSA after officers discovered a loaded gunin his harry On bag. Where was
this Reagan National? So the downtownWashington Airport. According to uh TSA,
he was found to be in possessionof a twenty two caliber pistol. What

(53:50):
is they going to picture of this? Oh, it's a little derringer looking
thing with the longer rounds. Yeah, I does have a hammer on it,
but it's one of those sunken hammers. I guess. I don't know,
but you're not supposed to have itgoing through TSA. According to officials,

(54:14):
the pistol was loaded with five roundsand showed up on X ray,
so they confiscated the gun and sightedthe man on stage charges. However,
things then got weird as the manturned to and began blaming his wife,
saying that she packs all the bags. He doesn't do it, he doesn't

(54:35):
like to do it, and soshe put the gun in there. Well,
now that creates us like there's twodifferent versions because he's blaming her,
and I can't tell if he's blamingher like he thinks she's an idiot.
Whether it's you know, whether shein fact was the one who put it
in there, I don't know.But he's saying he doesn't pack anything.
He makes his wife do it,and she put it. What if she

(54:57):
did it and knew she at it? Do you know what I'm saying?
Like this wasn't about a whoopsie onher part putting together Because she's putting on
a carry on bag for the airport. That doesn't sound like an accident,
does it. That sounds like there'ssome underlyon stuff going on. She's like,
tell me, you know, tellsme he doesn't like that meal,

(55:22):
I'll get him. Let's take agun in his carry on and see what
happens at the airport tomorrow. Well, as you can imagine, that's you
know, he's going to catch somecharges. They're not sure exactly what it'll
be. Does those tend to ebband flow? But you're not gonna get
away scott free. According to TSA, the advice is that when packing for

(55:45):
a flight, pack your own bagso there are no surprises when someone gets
to our check. But I havea question, do you pack your own
bag for you married folks or isthere one person who is either better at
it, more efficient at it,or crazily enjoys packing, because I feel

(56:05):
like that's one of those activities whereI've I don't know that there's a lot
of crossover, but I'm not married, so I don't know. But even
when I've traveled with people i've beendating, I wouldn't dare let him pet
pack my bag, and I wouldn'twant to pack theirs either. But maybe
I guess if you're married for twentyyears, you're like, I know what
he's gonna put in there, soI'll just pack it. Roster. You
pack your own luggage. When youguys go on and you go traveling,

(56:30):
we have the same bag, butwe pack our own stuff. So you
just get one big suitcase, giantsuitcase. Because you know, some people
roll stuff, some people fold stuff. For when I have T shirts,
rather than folding them, I'll laythem all on each other and give them
a half fold and kind of putthem on top. I find that that
keeps them a little flatter. Buteverybody's got their own thing, so I

(56:57):
don't know that I'm buying that.But also it gives me the peace of
mind that I didn't forget something.Oh my god. Oh all right,
yeah, so the world famous hugsfrom a Hugs TV on Twitch. We
all know. He just notified methat Del Taco is opening five restaurants in
the Triangle five. I at themoment, I am that Randy Marsh meme

(57:22):
where he's in front of the computer. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah,
Oh my god, that's not theRandy, the naked Randy Marsh getting arrested.
Wondering if it's in fact America theother one America. Man, my
vault days are over the heist.Maybe they're opening them just to keep Do

(57:46):
we know where they're opening them onenext year house, but it's gonna be
ten stories. Yeah, no,sudden for you. I will take it.
How is Taco John's not here inDel Taco? Who's from further away?
Some would say one was more successfulthan the other. I mean that
could be an argument. Who hasmore locations? Del Taco? Never heard

(58:09):
of Taco John's. How have younever heard of Taco john John doesn't sound
like a very you know, Ah, Taco John like him? Taco believe
his name? I believe his namewas one Okay, oh they changed it.
Okay, yes, yeah, it'slike Chef Boyardi but but better but

(58:29):
better food really good? Can Iall right? I can't believe I have
to do this, but I feellike there's some I feel like there's somebody's
stuff in the box for del Taconow right, because he's got his whole
minion army. Have you guys everhad Taco John's and how superior is it
to other I haven't tried it,so I don't know him. I am

(58:52):
open to trying it. I justnever had it him. Yeah, you've
never seen down tacos. I've neverseen it. What do you like best?
Do you like the ground beat?I'm not like to you like I
didn't even know there was a thing. I'd never heard of it. Oh
no, no, no, Iknow, but yeah, because I thought
they had them in Salt Lake.I'm almost sure they did, but maybe
it was they didn't have very many. I know they have more now,
But what was I gonna say?But if you like, what's your favorite

(59:17):
kind of taco? Is it beef, you know, ground beef. Do
you like carnia soda chicken or justgive me some tacos? Right? I
like the ground beef, yeah,with the lettuce tomato and the sour cream.
No cheddar chap yeah, no,throw some cheddar cheese on there too,
sure alright, yeah, shredded notliquid like everything, like a taco

(59:37):
with everything. Yeah. Yeah,it's a great I a great stand around.
Taco del Taco is good too,So five del Tacos in the Dry
Triangle anywhere else I'm gonna have toresearch this, but yeah, but Taco

back. That was some good stuff, all right, ste forty two?

(01:00:00):
Ray? Oh we got we gotray yet because he'll he'll talk about tacos.
No, not yet, all right, because I knew we'd be all
over tacos. But I'm probably abouta minute and a half early. So
anyway, all right, we'll getto the bottom of the avillsee who's got
more locations? But eight eight,eight, nine, three four seven eight
seventy four there's another taco placed downin Texas called was at two Pesos where

(01:00:24):
they were at one time, rememberthe name. I thought that was kind
of man. But I like goodtacos. You know, there's uh,

got one place, a lacosina wherewe go here and that's where I have
my tacos. Nothing special, nothingcrazy, or when I make my own.

(01:01:35):
So, oh you make some goodtacos? Huh? I do?
I do you know? You gotto get the big flat grill and you
could put like five pounds of beefon there and chicken tacos and everything.
It's it's glam stuff. One ofmy favorite things to make. If we're
watching some football, although you knowthe season's been canceled so not this year.
But you know the Totinos that madethe little bowl ones you can buy,

(01:02:00):
yeah, yeah, so ill groundup the taco beef right bill,
each one with a scoop, chop, green onions, cheddar cheese over the
top. Make about twenty of thosebad boys a little hot sauced abed.
Absolutely, yeah, man, fantastic. I like them. I like when
you do nachos too. With youjust take nachos, right, you just

(01:02:22):
lay them out, which is reallyjust tacos cut up and triangle, right
yeah, and you just you justtake them and you just pour everything on
top. You do like a nachobar, and you just walk up to
and you just start pulling stuff offwith cheese and everything. That's good stuff

Yeah you do that, and yeahit's a mess, but either all right,
so yeah, well we'll trash talksports when you little closer to the
weekend. Yeah, no problems,but yeah, but for now, let's
let's get some decent weather for theweek and then parlay that into the weekend.
So we just continue this trend.Well, I wouldn't that much on

(01:03:30):
sunshine. There'll be some as wesee this morning in some spots with clouds
and considering them out of cloud inthe forecast over the next couple of days.
There's really not much rain around.I think I mentioned that yesterday.
You look at the guidance and lookat one of the high resolution models,
it's clouds and spotty light rain oreven some drizzle around and showers and the

(01:03:52):
mountains and other than that, it'sgonna be tough to get in a range
of try a triangle a little bitseventies, though Tomorrow being the cooler day,
kind of get this north northeast breezersort of wedged in, and even
on Thursday, clouds, load ofmid seventies. Friday, we'll finally start
to see a little more sun andthat's going to roll us into the weekend,
partly to them becoming mostly sunny,which allows the more pretty nicely into

(01:04:12):
mid to upper seventies, maybe eightydegrees by the end of the weekend for
some of us, So a lotof clouds, it might sound, look,
smell intimidating, but not much rainthe next few days, and then
I think we're going to improve aswe look ahead towards the upcoming weekend with
more sunshine around. All Right,thank you much, sir. We'll talk
in an hour. Listen to thispsychopath ross you ever eat a Jack in

(01:04:34):
the box taco? Do you everhave a jack in the box talk?
I definitely have none. You shoulddefinitely never do that. It's the thinnest
talk you've ever seen, and it'sso soggy dipped in grease that they deep
pride in grease. It's awful.And then some psychopaths just said that's the
superior taco. So I don't know, man, I feel like we need

(01:04:57):
to we need to swap you fora migrant who has better taco taste and
you live in Uh, you livein Acapulco. Now have fun duck anyway,
seven forty seven back in just afew the show. After the show
is on the iHeart radio app.Search case o day for the podcast on
the iHeart radio app. All right, good morning to do is seven fifty

(01:05:25):
two. Trying to figure out wherethese locations are going to be? Hold
on, let me look at thepress release here, got into a taco
discussion. But you know what,I'm hungry, so I can deal with
it. Yeah. It just says, uh, the Do Do Doo del
Taco is tying to deal with RamRestaurants to open five locations in the Raleigh

(01:05:50):
Durham area. Although these articles arefrom like February of twenty twenty two,
so I don't know if there's progressthat's been made or what's going on,
and even where they'd be building them. Well, I think it's just due.
You know, authentic Mexican cuisine takestime. You can't do that.
You can't just roll the thing overto the thing and let me guess.

(01:06:11):
So they train there, they trainthem in what Monterey mazit Lan. I
think it's a Mexico city, isit? Oh? Wow? Right in
the heart of it. You know, I think one thing we can you
know, we got this a debategoing. I I think one thing we
can't agree on is that you wantyour beef to be beef fed. I
want American beef fed beef. Idon't want vegan grass fed beef. Right,
we can American beef, but wefeed them Chinese gross snow. Okay,

(01:06:33):
So it's a generational thing. Ohdid Del Taco get bought by Jack
in the bottle? Well, maybethe quality suffered if they make the Jack
in the box tacos DA's completely different. Yeah, I hope they don't do
that. So you want beef fedbeef, that's American. Yeah. I
want big cows that are fed onbeef eat other smaller cows. Circle of

(01:06:57):
life. Man, Well you wantto have vegan beef? Come on,
ah. I think Kyle with hischerish, he just got confused. He
saw soy cheris and he thought,as was said, I am am chreizo,
and so he bought it. Sothat's a Mexican word joke because SOI
means I am okay, hould youjust say yo soy? But yeah,

(01:07:19):
but we get confused up here.We think it's garbage food. In addition,
they claim they'll be opening not justin the Carolina's so South Carolina as
well Florida, Georgia and Alabama.Well I had no idea, but now
as old as that thing is,I don't know if I believe it.
Anthony, what's up? Tacos?Yeah, good times. Put Anthony on

(01:07:49):
hold and see what's going on withthat. He had some taco Inputty wanted
to provide. That's great, allright eight eight eight nine three four seven
eight seven four? Uh the phone, okay, so he is there?

(01:08:11):
All right, Anthony, what's up? Yeah? I said, the heck
with Dale Taco or the step TacoJohns. We need that taco truck from
that that Sonoma story. Where canyou find two? All the tacos,
all the food truck. I don'tknow that they were two dollars. I
don't know that they were two dollars. I just kind of I just know

(01:08:31):
it was a taco, a tacotruck. I don't know the one place
is two fifty for tacos. That'snot out of the and you know,
Missouri's probably a little cheaper. Idon't know, but you get what you
try. Jim Tacos. I needto try what Jim Tacos down there on
six courts. Jim Tacos down oursix courts as a food truck, they're
really good. There are so many. Man, you drive up Kent,

(01:08:55):
thanks for I appreciate it. Sir, you drive up Capitol Boulevard and there
used to be like one taco truckand somehow the space between four forty and
five forty, it's like every gasstation has a taco truck. And like
some of the people running that don'tlook like they were trained in Mexico City,

(01:09:15):
you know what I'm saying. SoI don't you know whether that is
an authenticity because let's face it,if you go to a taco truck and
there's about a seventy year old grandmalooking Mexican woman and she's rolling out fresh
massa I'm in a and she's gotthe you know, the metal press and
everything, I'm going to bet thatthat's going to be a good taco because

(01:09:38):
fresh, you know, the freshtortillas is amazing. But yeah, other
than that, now, there's somany of them that I just don't know.
Sometimes I don't know that I'll evertry all of them. All right,
let's see here, So I mentionedthat there is the presidential there's a

(01:09:59):
Republican eight that is that is happening. Seven candidates have qualified. I guess
technically eight would, but Trump doesn'twin in on it. The seven candidates
Ron de Santis, Ramaswamy Hailey,Mike Pence, Tim Scott, Chris Christie,
and Doug Bergham. Everybody's everybody's frontrunner. Doug Bergham, who,

(01:10:25):
if I guess you don't know,is the governor of New York. The
only individual not qualifying that did forthe previous debate is Asa Hutchinson because nobody
nobody picks him in the polls,I guess. So we'll take place at
the Simi Valley Ronald Reagan Presidential Libraryand will be the second GOP primary debate,

(01:10:50):
and I'm sure that will pay veryspecial close attention to it and report
or or Russell Us grab whatever hesees on Twitter in the morning, and
we'll pretend like recovering it. Okay, because here's the deal. Normally i'd
be like, who do you thinkwant the debate? But I don't want.

(01:11:13):
I can't even listen to Republican primarydiscussions anymore. It's just gotten.
The vitriol is just so much,man, and all of these idiots out
there just you know, just smearingand spamming and all of it. It's
just so nasty. It's so nasty. But you know we'll cover because contractual
obligations and stuff. All Right,news is next hanging. I mean,

(01:12:16):
you gotta you gotta be able toback it up. I think it's what
people's point. All Right. SoI'm watching this video of everybody's favorite US
women's soccer player, Megan Rapido,and uh, I didn't realize this.
So when she's entering for a matchhere this so this was She's played her

(01:12:39):
last for the US women's soccer team, So I think this is some sort
of promotional things she's doing. Oneof the Sunday leagues. I don't know,
they're showing this video of her.And it's something she does when she
walks into an arena that I wasunaware of. She has in her hand
one of those two tubular bluetooth speakers, right, you know, if you

(01:13:02):
get a little bluetooth speakers, theone that looks like a you know,
like a tube and puts out prettygood sound. Although it's a very loud
arena. Apparently she blasts her ownentrance music or motivational music or walk on
music or whatever you want to callit. And I can't figure out what
this song is. Ross if youlisten to it I sent it to you,

(01:13:24):
are you able to determine what thehell of her song is because the
arena is very loud as well?Oh okay, all right, you just
got it. I can't. I'velistened to it a bunch. I can't
figure out what this song is.And I was hoping somebody in the comments
on a couple of these tweets wouldknow, but they don't. But I
mean, who's walking around with entrancemusic everywhere they go? Can you imagine

(01:13:45):
how obnoxious that individual must be.Now, don't get me wrong, entrance
musics are you know, selections havean appropriate place in sports, right from
the you know, from the baseballplayer who all have their walk on music,
to WWE and you know wrastlers whohave over the years honed very customized

(01:14:10):
and recognizable walk on songs which forsome reason have ended up in our audio
system in a big category that somebodyput there. You know, of course,
uh, you know the famous warmup music they do like the bull
you know, before the Bulls game, you got that, you know,

(01:14:31):
very recognizable track as they're introducing,and they do that at most sporting events,
but they don't hear, and Ifeel I feel like maybe she missed
that aspect, so she thought she'dher home thing. But when you're the
one holding the speaker, it justlooks so cringe e Plus, who'd want

(01:14:53):
to be around that person? Iflike one, I guess you always know
where they are. But I don'twant to deal with anyone. I gotta
listen to him do a walk offor a walk on music prior to interacting
with them. It would just getobnoxious, one because of the ego trip,

(01:15:13):
but two you got to sit thereand wait for the music. Right,
it's a whole thing. Those arequite the glasses, and I think
she's an eighties ski instructor. Isthe jacket she went with? So all
right, I can't figure it out, We'll retweet it. If somebody can
figure out what the hell that songis, I'd be very interested, but

(01:15:33):
who who gets? Yeah, theamount, I'm just I keep going back
to ego, but I'd be embarrassed, man, just be embarrassed. I
feel like, if you're gonna havea walk on music, it's others should
play it for you. You can'tplay your own walk on music, like
on a boom box, right,especially like a professional sporting event. No

(01:15:58):
there, you know, if you'rethe baseball player this, the guys in
the sound booth are running that.If you're a wrestler, the guys in
the sound booth are running it.It's part of it. Like Marianna Rivera
didn't show up, you know,at the mound with his own boom box
playing Enter Sandman. Yeah, yeah, wild thing, didn't you know?
Like Charlie Sheen didn't make his wayfrom the dugout holding a boombox, and
you know, all of Cleveland sang. I saw it on the documentary.

(01:16:23):
Have you ever considered having your ownwalk on music? Cross just anywhere you
go in the studio, roll intoa sales meeting, go talk to you
know something the sales department, toeven go to the kitchen to get make
tea. Right. I had anintern that used to follow me around and
do that to Sean Michael sexy boy. Oh really, yeah. I was

(01:16:43):
like, dude, you need tostop. So that was the pick with
Shawn Michael sexy boy everywhere you went. Do we have that in the system.
I don't know that I'm familiar withthe thing we do. Oh wow,
okay, I mustn't missed that era. So this this was, this
is back when you were doing musicradio. Huh it's over a decade ago.

(01:17:05):
Oh okay, good. She calmedit down coming into the news section
there, all right. So yeah, she's got her own. If you
could tell me what the hell's she'ssinging or what that music is, I'm
curious, but I'm not that curiousunless it's something dumb. But you know,
hey, maybe it is. Iam so mad. I still can't

(01:17:26):
figure out where these del tacos aregoing. This has become my it's become
my mission this morning. As horribleas that sounds, all right, you
want to hear something horrible, ofcourse you do, because you know,
if you need one more thing.It's a growing online trend that has resulted
in the injury or death for aquite a few folks worldwide. Do you

(01:17:50):
know what the Blue Whale Suicide Challengeis got a word challenge in there,
gotta have the challenge. Do youhave you heard of the blue Whale Suicide
Challenge? And if you haven't,just based on the name, what do
you think that is? Blue WhaleSuicide Challenge? Is it like you're gonna

(01:18:12):
you're gonna you're gonna kill yourself,but you're gonna do it Jonah style?
Right, It's maybe it's not.It's actually much more awful. This following
discovery by police in Portugal of athirty five year old victim. I think
he's in American. I know he'sa dual British American citizens in Portugal.

(01:18:33):
Well, anyway, who police say, we're taking part in the online Blue
Whale Suicide Challenge game. He alsothere was a twenty six year old man
described as a British national turned himselfinto authorities following the incident. And here

(01:18:54):
is how it works. Here ishow it works because I had to go
look it up. Basically, thechallenge works like this. It originated,
according to authorities, in twenty fifteen. It was aimed at teenagers online and
has resulted in the death of literallydozens. The way it works is you

(01:19:16):
take the challenge, you're at theend of your rope, you don't care
anymore. Whatever. And then butthe challenge was that if you did this
and this is how you chose todo the go through the process, there
could be there could be money.But maybe you're you're you're surviving family members,

(01:19:39):
get I mean, this is darksaw stuff right here. And then
fifty increasingly difficult and dangerous tasks,all involving self harm take place over the
course of fifty days. So youmight cut yourself, you may have to
shoot a nail through. This isa thing. And on day fifty,

(01:20:00):
players are required to kill themselves towin the challenge, which I'm not sure
how that sounds like winning. Butwhatever. Labeled the Blue Whale phenomenon or
the Blue Whale Suicide Challenge, somepeople have even been prosecuted in the past
in Russia, the United States,UK, and Portugal. Previously, according

(01:20:27):
to police, three men and twowomen were taking part. It looks like
the description is not great. Itlooks like in this case they feel that
some of the people they're talking to, they were with this dude, were
helping him through one of the challengesand inadvertently stabbed him to death. So

(01:20:50):
I don't know exactly what that lookslike. So they were filming all of
it too. Who is what ishappening? Oh? It's my music?
But what? I can't comment untilit's over, but I need I might
have to take a break down.How lot? How lot? How wrong?

(01:21:17):
Is about about a minute left?What do you mean? A minute
left? Every time I talk?Now, I have played music, but
you talk a lot? You can't, right, I'm ready to comment.
I'm ready to comment. Yes,that's a good point. What which one?
What's the good point? I've nowforgotten what the hell I was talking

(01:21:39):
about because I had to listen toa minute and a half of that.
Well, no, I need tostart over. No, you go just
clarify. Is that the music shewas playing too? Wow, that's another
good point from you. Every singlemeeting, we go to meetings. So
my interned play that and I waslike, dude, you need to stop.

(01:22:02):
It's inappropriate. So you would,so, yes, he he would
play the music and he would flashthe lights on and off in the in
the in the conference room. Rightright now, you got at the strobe
effect. And then if it's yourn, it's it's an. It's like it's
annoying because then I have to walkin and like I just can't walk in.
Yeah, I have to strut intothe room to match the music.

(01:22:24):
It's like it made me uncomfortable.But he kept doing it. Oh you
should see Ross Flexen two. Itwas something. It was something. I'll
call it that eight seventeen. Ineed a shower. Hang on, thank

think they're they're both great do yeah. Okay, well, well I'll give
it a think. I'll get I'llthink about it. But but don't be
hopeful, all right eight eight eightnine three four seven eight seven four.

(01:27:43):
Oh dude, all right, we'llget in. We'll get into that story
here just a little bit. Sothere's a little video, a little video
game kerfuffle over one of these professionalvideo game teams. Some some folks noticed.
All right, let me flip overto uh, let me set this
up just because we're a little tightag about a minute fifteen on this.

(01:28:08):
So we got a NASA story Igotta get into and whoopsie. So while
evs are all the rage with automakersright now, a little problems emerged the
Harris Ranch Supercharger, which is ahuge Tesla supercharger site which sits on this

(01:28:32):
resort style ranch between San Francisco andLos Angeles. They got food there,
They've made like a food haul.They've got all the charging spots and for
people who are driving between San Franciscoin La, it was placed to be
that recharging point so that people withevs and Tesla's can make the trip with

(01:28:53):
a simple recharge. In the middle, it includes the largest bank of EV
chargers in the world at nine theeight spots, so yeah, it's quite
the destination. And quite popular withelectric vehicle owners. Except there's a problem,

(01:29:14):
little something that people just becoming awareof that I guess they didn't think
about, which is now caused quitea stir. I'll tell you what it
is after the news. I oneoh six one FM Talk in the Triangle
and there's talk ninety four five WPTIin the Triad than ever, Right,

(01:29:43):
I mean, what are some ofthe pride I don't know what the prizes
are? Do you do? Youknow what some of the top prizes for
the biggest video game teams is.It's not chump change, right if you're
if you're in some of these professionalleagues, Like people make a full on
living professionally playing video games, don'tthey. That was my understanding, So

(01:30:05):
you know when you're in the Championshipseries. I mean, obviously I'm not
talking about just on Twitch. Obviouslythere's people to make money there, but
like doing these competitive events. Imean, one of the big ones is
in the Triangle, right for howam I spacing the name of the game?
What's the big Battle Royal game?Fortnite Fortnite? Yeah, uh,

(01:30:29):
I'm sorry. I still play Fortnite. Like I remember reading some of the
moneys that were being offered there forthat tournament. You win a few of
those tournaments, man, you're livinglarge, doing okay. And they got
divisions for everyone, including the leaguechampionship series. One of the better ones
who in an effort to highlight someof the various teams is, including the

(01:30:50):
women's teams. They they got togetherand did a series of you know,
sit down interviews, you know,like where the kind of go and they
talk to everybody, ask what theirfavorite games are and what do some of
the changes mean, and h theyinterviewed one of the women's teams here to

(01:31:10):
celebrate girls division of the league andthe diversity that's in there, and uh,
you know they're they're pumped those uh, those female competitors. They're so
pumped in fact that strangely enough,the Video Game League putting out the videos

(01:31:31):
quickly repost of the videos and insome cases limited commenting on them or hid
many of the replies. Now,why do you think that is ross?
Do you think it's because people fundamentallydon't want to see women in video game
tournaments? In his mail? Whatdid you just accidentally hit a button there?

(01:31:54):
Or were you trying to play yourwalk on music or I'm so busy
in here, dude, I can'teven come in, So you don't give
me it's man's Oh man, Wellthat sounds like a clue. Are you
saying because I didn't get a chanceto watch it all the way through?
Are you saying that some of thewomen are tall? Oh? No,

(01:32:14):
not again, give me it's man'sOh it is man. Those are all
dudes, right, maybe not allof them? How many? How many
transgender crossover players are there in thevideo game industry? And you know,
here's what I kind of understand.Is it right to put men's divisions in

(01:32:39):
women's divisions separate? I mean,you're just playing video games. You're not
throwing a football, you're not dunkingof basketball. Am I a horrible person
for asking this? I mean,why do we separate? I don't understand
why there's a separate division in sports? To me, that makes new sense?

(01:32:59):
Right. Well, I remember seeinga study where they talked about how
men generally have quicker reaction times andthat therefore aids them. And then they
did that one event with the topwomen's team against not a top guys team,
and it was what's the term withthe bath with the red stuff.
Blood bath, Yes, it wasa blood bath. And then like somebody

(01:33:24):
got really mad because it was aroundgamer Gate stuff, which I'm not going
to revisit all on here. Butthen they were it was bad science,
even though they were just measuring reactionsof people, and but feasibly should you
you know, you probably shouldn't haveeveryone in a different division anyway. But
then, of course what happens whenyou don't separate and that study does turn

(01:33:48):
out to be accurate in some way, shape or form, and when they
list the top twenty players in thecountry or whatever, it's all dudes,
don't know what is the the shapeshift is. I don't think that's their
Christian name. Is the first personbeing interviewed uses she her pronouns and plays

(01:34:15):
for teams Serenity or something. Idon't know, but yeah, there you
go, little little video game newsthere. I haven't even looked to see
if Kataku's weigh in on it,but this sounds like something right up their
alley, man, right up theiralley, all right? Eight eight eight,

(01:34:35):
nine, three four seven eight seventyfour. So I mentioned the Harris
Ranch Supercharger, which is this thisresort style super charging station's got a one
hundred charger, ninety eight chargers,they got food, they got little hotels
and stuff. And for people withelectric vehicles, you want to make the
trip between Los Angeles and San Francisco, it's right there, right there in

(01:35:00):
the middle, right because it's aboutsix hours to drive between those two cities,
So you know when you get aboutthree hour boom right in the middle.
Well, imagine how horrible all ofthese ev people felt when they realize
that the Central California charging station,which has been such a big hit,

(01:35:21):
actually is required to use a dieselgenerator to provide the electricity to power the
power station so that people could compowertheir electric vehicles. And now they're outraged

(01:35:42):
that the power was being produced throughthe use of phospiph I have a question,
are where do people who have electricwhere do you think the power comes
from? Are you that intellectually divorcedyou don't stop for a moment to wonder
how the power was generated. It'snever crossed your mind that when power going

(01:36:04):
to an electrical socket that you thenplug your car into has to be there
and get there. It never crossedyour mind for a moment that it could
be via traditional means for power generation, be at fossil fuels or some of
those rivers, the river ones youdon't like with the hydroelectric because the fish

(01:36:28):
ladders, they're they're stupid, theydon't work. It's never crossed your mind
when you pull up to that plugthat's in the Mary is it Marryott or
Hilton's Marryott or Hilton Who's got chargers? A lot of the They have chargers
a lot of their hotels now,so if you're staying there, you can
charge, which is fine. Butdo you think that that hotel has a

(01:36:51):
separate solar grid somewhere to power yourEV or do you think it's just power
that's coming in on the main powerThe only different it's what this is.
Not only do they draw power fromutilities, they also have to have this
separate source of power because of theamount of power draw there is. So
they've accomplished that through the use ofa diesel plant, which is essential,

(01:37:15):
you know, essentially a diesel generator, but much bigger to power the whole
facility. Now they're demanding changes.A little of this is about the pile
on because it's Tesla's name brand.So pyleon elon must But if you think
that all those chargers out there arejust running on you know, rainbow farts

(01:37:39):
and you know other such magical things, I would I would, I would
tell you to read a book orsomething. They got a bunch of other
beefs on there, but that's themain one. Yeah, But they're just
shocked. They're just shocked to findout that's how that happens. Crazy stuff,
all right, race Agic Weather Channel, Hey man, Yeah, but

(01:38:01):
it's like, where did you soyou plug into a power socket? It
never crossed your mind that that powermay be generated in traditional manners? I
mean, which crossed my mind?Yeah, yeah, that's that's that's generally
what I think. Even if Ihad a solar vehicle, I wouldn't be
so delusional right now. The truthis, I mean, we'll get there,
I mean, but that's not nowsure. And there are but there

(01:38:25):
are some charging stations that strictly dorun on solar power grid. It's kind
of part of the feature, andyou could find those if you want.
But the ones that are just ata gas station, the ones that are
at a hotel, even the plugin ones that sit along the city streets
are like over by the police stationand Raleigh. They're just hooked into the
Raleigh grid folks, Right, It'sjust that's how that works. So anyway,

(01:38:49):
that's your house too, right,Yes, yes, you're manufacturing it.
You know, you put one inthe garage like people do. Yeah,
that plugs into your power and yourelectricity. It's just all right anyway,
So we get to play. Youhave to play the Patriots this weekend,
right, we get to play thePanthers. Should be okay, I

(01:39:11):
mean what about that other team,Bill? Who who are they playing?
Oh, dude, Bill's gonna getdestroyed Ross Dolphins. Oh yeah, no,
I did not feel good about thatgame at all. It's gonna be
bad but a little little down.And are they playing the Dolphins? Yes,
they Dolphins at one o'clock. Yeah, well, it sounds like two
two of us have a win andprobably one of us don't. Don't.

(01:39:33):
I don't know what I saw lastweek. I don't know. I don't
know why the game is gonna bea one o'clock in the afternoon game.
Any to move that game up becauseit is like that should be like a
game like that's again, people aregonna want to watch. I don't.
Oh, I want to watch thatgame for sure. Yeah, I'll have
that on the secondary TV because VikingsPanthers around at the same time, and
then the Cowgirls are in the afternoon. You gotta play the Patriots into England.

(01:39:58):
I you know what, you knowwho I'm rooting for in that game.
I made a decision. Here yousee Elliott Stadium collapse. Oh okay
or Zeke Elliott. I thought youwere gonna say, but hey man,
that's that's for you. So youguys have all right. So with that
in mind, yeah, let's wegot a ways to go. So what

(01:40:18):
are we dealing with during the weekman? Yeah? And not much is
really going to change the next threedays mainly cloudy. There'll be some sunny
times and areas in the morning hoursthere'll be a little fog. Uniform Champiatures
will probably stick it in a littlebit seventies through Thursday, so between seventy
and seventy five or highs lows closeto sixty or some upper fifties around,

(01:40:39):
and then Friday will start a littlebit of a change with a little more
sunshine and then partly to mostly sunnyinto the weekend, which will help us
maybe get to the mid to upperseventies. So it's a pretty benign week
weatherwise. All the rain and thunderstormsdown along the Gulf Coast and down in
South Florida where they could see threeto five inches of rain, and previously
mentioned Miami, so there is someheavy rain around, but really there's not

(01:41:02):
much else going on across the nation. It's up the Pacific northwest where there's
rain. Tropics. I haven't touchedon that yet this week. A couple
of systems out there. Philippe isgonna stay away from the gost mainland and
probably eastern Bermuda at another invest areaninety one l back behind that most likely
steers clear the US East coast also, but you know, still some time
to go in the tropical Atlantic,and we'll see what happens over the coming

(01:41:24):
weeks and next couple of months.Yeah, all right, well, I
appreciate the update, sir, andchat tomorrow. Okay, yep, there
you go, Race Ajack from theWeather Channel. Jeff Bellinger joins us.
Next hang on smart talk all dayfive w PTI in the Triad and one

(01:41:49):
oh six one FM talk in theTriangle. All right, eight fifty three
year Bloomberg Update now Jeff Bellinger,what's happening? Good morning, k see
major A stock averages ticked a littlehigher yesterday, but that may have been
one and done. Futures are lowerthis morning. DAL futures down one hundred
seventy points at the moment. MostAmerican households have spent any of the extra

(01:42:14):
cash they managed to stash away duringthe pandemic. A study by the Federal
Reserve finds the richest twenty percent ofhouseholds still have some of the money they
saved, but the rest have lesscash on hand now than they did before
the pandemic began. The economists surveyedby Bloomberg News do not think the US
will avoid a recession, though theythink the economy will get through the rest

(01:42:35):
of this year without a downturn.The thinking among most experts is that a
recession will begin sometime in twenty twentyfour. In artificial intelligence, chatbot will
be getting a new talent. Withinthe next couple of weeks. Chat gpt

and speak in the chosen voice.United Parcels Service starting to look for seasonal
workers to help the country. Acompany handle and expected holiday rush ups has
one hundred thousandful in part time positionsto fill. Dick Sporting Goods plans to

a new option for wireless phone customers. The giant retailer will offer prepaid plans
with Mobile x Casey oh, okay, all right, well, thank you
much, Jeff, appreciate it.We'll talk to Barroser sounds good. Talk
to you then to have a goodtime, all right, yep, Jeff
Palinger there, Bloomberg News, allright, we're gonna rapid fire a few
stories. This is mind boggling.So the thirteen lowest performing schools in Baltimore

(01:43:49):
high schools which we're received over thelast two years a significant cash infusion from
the federal government so that they coulddo better. A total are you ready
for this one point six billion dollarsin federal additional federal moneys in an effort

(01:44:10):
to bring up test scores there.So that was partly the initial two year
program. The results are in ofthe schools who are identified as needing help.
So we took part in this thirteenBaltimore high schools ross. What percentage
of the students the high school studentsdo you feel past the State of Maryland's

(01:44:30):
math proficiency exam of these thirteen schools? So you got hundreds of students in
each school. They all take themath exam for sophomore and senior years,
so half of them. So stillwhat you know, thousands and thousands of
students. What percentage do you thinkwe're deemed to be proficient in math out

(01:44:54):
of these thirteen schools. I wouldhope that at least like fifty at least
half, but probably ten mm lowerthan ten slower. It's lower, I
mean the bars. Yea, it'slower. Five. Yeah, that's lower.
Shut up, that's just a littlebit. Two, that's a little

(01:45:14):
bit a little bit lower. Theotel guy in reverse here one zero.
Yeah, that would be zero studentsat the wow. Yes, according to
the state test results, zero students. Not just zero percent where it's like
you rounded to it, but zerostudents at thirteen Baltimore high schools tested proficient

(01:45:40):
in the state math exams after receivingnot just regular funding, but in additional
one point six billion from taxpayers overthe last two years in it that was
directed to bring up math and readingscores. But strangely they say that about
forty percent of the money seemed togo to other stuffs. They're gonna need

(01:46:00):
more money, you know what.I was just thinking that because one point
six billion just isn't enough. Ontop of whatever they're normal fight you got
zero. You didn't even have onesavant somewhere in the mix. By the
way, the scoring works like this, it's out of four points for the

(01:46:21):
four different sections, and you're aproficient there and you have you can pass
with a two. So if youget two points, you can pass.
Three points, you're doing pretty good. If you get four, obviously you're
very very good at it. Butyou know three, between two and three
is the average among State of Marylandhigh schools. These thirteen schools, the

(01:46:44):
high the ones that are were ina lot of trouble. We're able to
get zero students. Seventy five percentof the students did get a one,
and then twenty five percent got azero, So they produced zero proficient maths.
Callers even with an additional one pointsix billion. But no, Ross
is write more money. And Ididn't even get to my Gator story.

(01:47:06):
So we'll roll that into tomorrow's show. But yeah, yeah, more money,
that's the answer. Absolutely bottom
