Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
So, uh, it was interesting.

Speaker 2 (00:02):
Ross and I were having our little pre showed chat
there and we both experienced the same thing yesterday. And
when that happens, I want to bring it up because
I suspect many of you did as well. Yesterday there

(00:22):
was there was three slices of people, Okay, yesterday, with
everything going on in the Middle East, there were people
that were happy, even if they were you know, still
taking a bit of a wait and see, just because
of the history of the area that they you know,
this was a happy thing, especially when you saw the

(00:44):
uh you know, the hostages being reunited with their families.
They had, you know, there was video, lots of video
of that obviously, and that's great, you know, everybody who
wants to see that.

Speaker 1 (00:59):
I did know.

Speaker 2 (01:00):
Ross, did you note that none of the hostages were women.
I did not, Yes, mm hmm, yeah, that's weird. Huh
you think that's just a statistical anomaly.

Speaker 1 (01:09):
It's a it's weird, Okay. I I had those videos though,
of the families being reunited. Like I don't speak a
lick of Hebrew, right, but you could tell like the
emotional Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:21):
Yeah, absolutely, and uh, you know it's the it's the
it's dusty in their kind of stuff. But then you
saw some of the interviews and like the guy who
was made to dig his own grave, right they do.
It was being interviewed and he was talking about first
they had before and after, right, and you know clearly

(01:42):
clearly to use in captivity with them intermittently starving, you
will do that. But like, there's a lot of things
you don't think about, Like he thought he was going
to suffocate most of the time because they kept him
in these places in the tunnels, but there's no air essentially, right,
you're underground, there's not necessarily air flow, and then you're
in a small confined space and you're using up oxygen

(02:03):
in there, and yeah, that's I mean that, and that's
part of inflicting the terror. So there were people that
were happy, even if they were cautiously you know, let's
see what happens. Then you had people who wanted to
recognize that it happened and either take credit for it,
like over in the UK, they were trying to take

(02:25):
credit for it. When them them recognizing Palestine here about
a week and a half ago literally gummed up this process.

Speaker 1 (02:33):
Absolute lunatics or saying.

Speaker 2 (02:36):
That they were happy, but treating Trump's name like Voldemort
right where you don't uh, where you don't say his name.

Speaker 1 (02:45):
Well you even saw like Elizabeth Warren doing that.

Speaker 2 (02:48):
Yeah, and then I thowt jd Vance just calling him
out and see what do you see what?

Speaker 1 (02:52):
He quote tweeted on her stupid tweet. Yeah, I know
I missed.

Speaker 2 (02:55):
It, he said, Trump asked me to do this for you,
to celebrate people a National Indigenous People's Day.

Speaker 1 (03:04):
Good stuff. Yeah, And like the UK, it was like
the kid in school where you know, you're doing the
group project and they do nothing right and they show
up and they're like, oh it saw me. Yeah, I'm
amazing mean yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (03:16):
And then there's the third group who I maybe they
slept in yesterday, Ross what do you think do you
think they slept in and they missed the whole thing?

Speaker 1 (03:27):
I don't know, but they're you know, it was pretty
damn quiet over on Blue Sky. Yeah, there were a
lot of clouds, you know, absolute clowns that were awfully
quiet yesterday. And I was reading a tweet this morning
and did some investigating into it, and it's a matter
of it wasn't even trending over there, like you go
over there and their version of you know, the the

(03:49):
microscope or whatever it is that you know you clicked
out to search. Yeah yeah, you're like, oh, it's going
to show you what's trending. It wasn't even trending, like
it didn't exist. They were all talking about the Epstein
files and yeah, I don't.

Speaker 2 (04:03):
I mean, was there another story then enraptured your attention? Yeah,
it was it the Alec Baldwin car accident. You spend
your whole day on that.

Speaker 1 (04:12):
Or I think he crashed the car because he was
pissed off over the peace deal. Dude, you stole No,
that's stole align. That's what I I saw the photo yesterday.
Look got Alec Baldwin just punched the channeling ray staging.
Oh yeah, all right, anyway, Yeah, I know I saw
the photo of him out by the tree, and it's like,
you know, it's his car in front of the tree,

(04:33):
and it's just like, oh, he got pissed off. It's
probably Pecott tree. He didn't have a gut in his hand.
But it's so weird how like and I have like
you know, friends and left, and anytime there's any anything
kind of even remotely negative about Trump. They sent me
tons of stories yesterday radio silence, Oh are you alive?

(04:59):
Are you?

Speaker 3 (04:59):
So?

Speaker 1 (04:59):
I are just sending like wrestling gifts and you know,
funny memes and stuff, just to see if they're alive.
And then you could be an a hole and do
it opposite pictures of Trump. I never yeah, I don't
do that. That's not how I am. So that's never me.
But they're always sending me the negative stuff, whereas I
normally typically ignore it or don't saying that because I'm like,

(05:19):
I don't care. But they were sending me some like
wonk story about it was Newsmax or News Nation and
some Pentagon protocol stuff, and I'm just like, well, what
about the other big story that happened? What about like
the peace deal? Where's that? Why didn't you save me that?
Like I said, they're just very busy man.

Speaker 2 (05:39):
You know, some people really get you know, roped in
on one story and it can be hard to pull
your attention away or.

Speaker 1 (05:48):
Or I forgot the fourth group.

Speaker 2 (05:50):
I'm sorry because the fourth group that's the one that
shocks me. But I also understand their motives. And that
was this statement that was issued by the Democrats so
of America. This is the very same group. This is
the New York version up there with that endorsement DOMI,
who are upset with the peace deal and have quote

(06:11):
denounced it and not really explaining one hundred percent live.
But they don't have to the reason they're denouncing the
peace deal because they say they want full Palestinian liberation,
which sounds a lot like get rid of the the
Israelis there river to the c stuff. But honestly, and
I think we mentioned on the show yesterday, if your

(06:33):
whole identity is donning one of those cafias and running
around and going to Bouju's rallies and pretending like it's
it's a policy difference with the Israelis, while you tear
down hostage posters and you scream at anyone who looks
like they might have a Yamaica on and you don't
eat bagels out of spite. This piece is the worst

(07:00):
case scenario for you because your whole identity is eliminated.
So even though they really didn't get into it, let's
be honest, that's the problem.

Speaker 1 (07:11):
No, it's the same. It's like the race hustlers in
this country that they need racism in order trek to
do their job.

Speaker 2 (07:17):
And whether it's not, we'll just make it up whatever
or spin it or tweak it or expand it or
you know whatever, we have to do.

Speaker 1 (07:24):
This just gave these college kids an identity and their
attention horse. So it gave them something like, Hey, look
at me, I'm very special and important. I'm doing this
amazing important thing. And look at me, look at me. Yeah,
all right, we have peace. Now what about now? And
I think you said yesterday they're probably gonna start focusing
now on ice. Yeah, they'll be taking their attention to
ice Ice. I heard a story driving in today. It

(07:45):
was in America's First News and they had a guy on.
They were like, you know, this Trump deal, it's an
amazing thing. It's crazy. Trump did such a great job,
and he brought peace to the Middle East and this
is a major accomplishment. But Gordon, I want to know,
how come he's not bringing peace to the United States.
Why is he so hostile here?

Speaker 4 (08:03):
Uh?

Speaker 2 (08:03):
You know what, I saw the exact talking point in
two other places.

Speaker 1 (08:07):
That is today's talking Yeah, And I'm like, I don't know,
maybe it's the American media spinning it that way.

Speaker 2 (08:11):
Dude, Jasmine Crockett said that yesterday, and I just I
didn't torture you by putting it in the prep but
she said the exact same thing. So that is clearly
the talking point that went out. If he's such a
peace bringer, why won't he bring peace here? I don't know?
Ross how many? How many land mines have you found
on your property this week?

Speaker 1 (08:30):
Just this week? None? Oh god? Oh that's right. You
got the crew there, do it work? So yeah?

Speaker 2 (08:35):
How many rockets almost hitch your house?

Speaker 1 (08:37):
None?

Speaker 2 (08:38):
I mean that you'd know of, be fair, you could
have been asleep, all right? How many hostages do you
have in your basement?

Speaker 1 (08:45):
Why don't have a basement? So none?

Speaker 4 (08:47):
All right?

Speaker 2 (08:47):
In your underground tunnel whatever? You wouldn't tell us, So
that's whirred. So you would you say you're you're in
a state of war up there in wake Forest?

Speaker 1 (08:58):
I would say no, okay, yeah, all right, Yeah, so
that's that's good.

Speaker 2 (09:04):
So in a way, Trump's the president and we're not
in a state of war here on the American.

Speaker 1 (09:09):
Home, And it's like, why won't he bring peace here?
I don't know. Maybe because you're delusional?

Speaker 2 (09:13):
Yeah, maybe because we have peace? Get the old mission
accomplished banner. We have peace in the war sense. The
only the where we really don't have peace is within
about oh, I don't know one hundred yards of ice facilities,
but they're working on it. So uh, we shall see,
all right. But that didn't mean the media wasn't going

(09:34):
to do just an absolute horsecrap job of covering this.

Speaker 1 (09:37):
No no, no, no no.

Speaker 2 (09:39):
So we will get into that also, we'll uh do
I I do you feel bad for the bride in
this wedding story?

Speaker 1 (09:51):
Ross?

Speaker 2 (09:52):
I don't want to tease too much of it. Do
you feel bad for her? Because like this is her day?

Speaker 1 (09:57):
And you know, I to be ho you we need
to hear both sides, so figure.

Speaker 2 (10:04):
Out why he was doing what. I think he got
the bill.

Speaker 1 (10:08):
It's a good point.

Speaker 2 (10:09):
If the cater or whatever came over and like all right,
open bars, feeding two hundred, that'll be nine million dollars
and he's just say I'm out all right. So there's
a pretty crazy story out of I think it's Burke County.
Well we'll get into it. Yeah, Burke County. This is
near Morganton. I guess if you're new here. So yeh,

(10:32):
dad had himself a day, okay, even though it was
technically I guess his daughter's day. But we'll get into
that much more coming up here on the CaCO Day
radio program. But your boy did sending you that is
like going back September eleventh, two thousand and one. If
you're like, did you see the story about the rest
of fugitive Patrick Critton? Right, and you're just like obsessed

(10:53):
with that while everything else is playing out. I mean,
it takes a special level of focus because I don't
think I was able to do one finger scroll yesterday
on Twitter where it wasn't Gaza Israel related, And you know,
some of that's populating timeline because I'm consuming it. But

(11:14):
like there was a point where I'm like, is anything
else going on? Like when I was putting prep together
yesterday and there were a few things like this wedding
story We're gonna get into, but yeah, like if you
needed to cope around it, I honestly you probably need
to lock yourself in like a dark room or something,
or those sensory deprivation chambers man. But if you were

(11:39):
going to consume it, but you wanted it with a
twist of TDS, a little dash of TDS added to it.
They were absolutely ready for you. Over at NBC.

Speaker 5 (11:49):
You an official already describing Gaza as a graveyard for
Palestinian children. And here we are two years later, nearly
twenty thousand children dead and much needed aid. They have
nothing to go back to, but they have their land.
And for Palestinians, ah boy, that is what they have

(12:12):
fought for for decades.

Speaker 2 (12:15):
I mean, this check is so in the bag.

Speaker 5 (12:17):
We will see two thousand Palestinians released from prison.

Speaker 6 (12:22):
Who are they?

Speaker 5 (12:23):
Let's start with right here, two hundred and fifty security prisoners,
convicted murderers, serving multiple life sentences. Some of them will
be sent to Gaza, some of them will be deported
to third countries, some of them will go to East Jerusalem.
But about one hundred or so we'll be boarding buses
shortly and will be sent into the West Bank and
you'll be able to see them right behind me. Now

(12:44):
we've seen family members of those hostages trickle into the
city of Bethunia, which is where I am, and they
don't know how long it's going to take. In the past,
it's taken in some cases hours, and they were released
in the middle of the night.

Speaker 1 (13:00):
Some cases.

Speaker 5 (13:00):
It's happened quite quickly, so it might be a very
long day here. But over to Gaza, seventeen hundred Palestinians
detained in Gaza will be released. They are in some
cases miners, doctors, nurses, journalists who haven't never been charged.

Speaker 2 (13:16):
It's really oh, prahap you left bus bombers off. Six
of the most highest profile bus bomb means in Israeli
history are among those getting released. Killed I mean where
they killed, like, you know, twenty five people at a poll.

Speaker 1 (13:34):
Let's you know, let's let's be honest.

Speaker 2 (13:35):
I know you said murderers and the other thing, but
let's be really honest about literally who they're releasing back
into this as part of the deal. It's currently it's
my least favorite part because they're you know, you're trying
to equate twenty people who didn't do anything, didn't do anything,
just you know, swept up on that day, taken into
as hostages with people who blew up the buses full

(14:00):
of people, and Israel's going to release a lot more
of them then you know, just what you get with
the hostages.

Speaker 1 (14:08):
There, that's it. It's insane, but that's who we're talking.

Speaker 5 (14:13):
The important for people to remember that they've been held
under what's called administrative detention. It's a controversial practice that
allows Israel to detain people for an indefinite period of
time without charging them. These people do not know why
they have been detained, and so in the eyes of
many Palestinians you ask them, they consider those people held
without charge also as hostages.

Speaker 2 (14:36):
Yeah and so, and Israel considers them. Thank you for that.
So you have different groups. You have the people who
literally went through the process, have been in jail for
like twenty years in some cases for exploding twenty five
people to death or twenty three I think was the
one number I saw. And then you have people who
are being held that they're being held as essentially POW's okay.

(15:01):
So it's not it's not like there's no assertion. What
it is they are believed to be ununiformed members of
Hamasa's military. Now I don't know if that accounts for
every single one of them, but that's a large swath
of them, because again you're fighting people that in many
cases are not although now they're back in uniform.

Speaker 1 (15:19):
I saw that yesterday.

Speaker 2 (15:21):
Ross and I are trash talk in the same trailer. Actually,
I saw two trailers yesterday. One was for the what
was it Starfleet Academy I guess is the name of
the show, which is CBS Paramount whatever. Their latest use
of their Star trek ip to irritate Ross is. I mean,
it just seems to be the only thing they're doing

(15:41):
with it. So, and there's one, and then there's some
marketing for this thing. It looks awful and then all
of a sudden they have like klingon cross dressers in it, which.

Speaker 1 (15:54):
Now listen, they're klingon kilts. That's a klingon kilt obviously,
is that what it is? I'm sure that's what they're
going to say. So I saw I thought there was
some weird cannon thing. I didn't understand, you know that
big nerd account nerd Rotick posted the trailer okay, and
I was like what is this because it just said
ha ha ha ha ha ha ha and didn't say

(16:15):
what it was. It was some video. I'm like, what
is this? So I started and I'm like, oh, it's
a new Star Trek thing. I didn't make it a
minute in. I'm like, this is so cringe. I can't
watch it.

Speaker 2 (16:24):
So bad do you think that do you think that
the only reason that Klingon was wearing that is so
he could can he could compete against female Klingons and
Klinza Kinta.

Speaker 1 (16:34):
I had to look it up the.

Speaker 2 (16:38):
Klingon Martial Art Strategic Games program. I mean it's possible. Sure, Yeah,
what is the what is the weapon here? You know
what it's called bat bat lit Yes, yeah, I don't know. Man,
are the bat lists waited differently for the men and women?

Speaker 1 (16:55):
I don't know. I have no idea, but you know,
I get added to these like I via text messages
or like DM or you know, and these like groups
on Facebook and Twitter and these, and there's friends like
French people have known for years in the business and stuff. Yeah,
and they add me to these like chats involving Star
Trek and they keep talking about the new Star Trek
and oh, Discovery is great and no, this is amazing,

(17:17):
and they're like, why don't you ever say anything? And
I'm like, because all the new Star Trek is trash.
I don't recognize it and none of it counts after
the death of Tuvik's and they think I'm joking. They're like,
you had to take it.

Speaker 2 (17:27):
You took a principal position. Yeah, what the problem is?

Speaker 1 (17:30):
Yeah, I don't recognize any of it. You lost it.
You just lost They just lost you a lot longer ago. Yep.
All right, So that's number one. Ross.

Speaker 2 (17:39):
I didn't I fail to send this to you, and
I'm sorry. Have you seen the trailer for the new
Young Washington movie.

Speaker 1 (17:46):
That No, I haven't even heard of it. Now that
could be really good, or it also could be really bad. No, no, no, no.
So here's the deal.

Speaker 2 (17:52):
It looks amazing, and I actually tweeted it out yesterday.
So if you go to the Twitter accounts right up
at the top, and I just wrote, I swear if
there's even one ounce of woke bs in this, I'm
gonna be so p o't.

Speaker 1 (18:06):
And uh. It comes out literally.

Speaker 2 (18:09):
To mark the two hundred and fiftieth anniversary, so it's,
you know, July fourth of next year. And now listeners
are telling me, including uh, one of our listeners who's
in the media. She's an author, so I trust her
on this. She said that that movie production house is
super not woke.

Speaker 1 (18:28):
Like it's the.

Speaker 2 (18:30):
Funding behind it is conservative money. So I think they're
gonna do a really good Young Washington movie.

Speaker 1 (18:37):
Like the premise of that sounds amazing.

Speaker 2 (18:39):
It's so dude, you should watch the trailer during the break, Okay,
here during the commercial break. It's right there at the
top of the Twitter. You guys should as well. It's
really good. It's it's a lot of battle scenes. So
me playing the audio wouldn't be as you gotta see it, Okay,
but yeah, because like, let's let's face it, if that
same concept was done by the let's say Disney, it

(19:00):
would just be him what buying and abusing slaves, right, he.

Speaker 1 (19:03):
Would just be cutting down cherry trees the whole time,
the whole time, and then the right, yes, yes, yes,
that would I mean that's.

Speaker 2 (19:10):
Where you would go clearly if you're one of these
woke institutions and and Ross in a dress he would
be doing all of this and not like a modern
dress but like those old big ones. Yeah, where it's
got the hoop thing that comes out and you know
that's like made of cherry tree would probably and then

(19:32):
like with the girdle on it and the whole thing.
So and that's what he just but no, no, apparently
this production house is like, hey, we're in Telli historical stories.
Let's tell this, and I'm sure there'll be a certain
bit of hollywooding because you don't know everything, but like
I am down with that concept. So go check that out.
And then if you want to see the klingon dude

(19:53):
in the in the skirt or skirt or whatever it is,
scroll down just.

Speaker 1 (19:57):
A little bit.

Speaker 2 (19:57):
It's therefore you at Casey on the radio. All right,
wedding time, I mean not well, just wedding story time.
He Burke County wedding took a chaotic turn when the
bride's father allegedly crashed a car, then stole a firefighter's

(20:21):
pickup truck, and then crashed that. As I said, had
himself a day, had himself a day.

Speaker 1 (20:34):
Here we go.

Speaker 2 (20:36):
Higher Patrol said that Arthur Hoyle wrecked both vehicles along
Hidden Hill wedding venue. This is near Morganton. I'm not
familiar with specifically where this is. The firefighters are volunteer
fires from Salem Fire and Rescue. And the pickup truck
actually didn't belong to the firefighter. It was her boyfriend's trucks.
I guess she was at his house when the call

(20:57):
came in, so she borrowed his truck.

Speaker 1 (20:59):
And it had you know, it had the dash light.

Speaker 2 (21:01):
If you're in volunteer fire, you can get one of
the you can get the lights or the specific light.
And so like this dude crashes the car. Here comes
fire and rescue to rescue him. And then he which
I guess, gets out, he kind of slips in there
and takes off in that wrecks the thing a mile
down the road. Just craziness. And it's his daughter's wedding day.

(21:29):
Let's see here Burke Kenny officials say people had to
stay at the wedding venue for hours while they investigated,
well if it was catered at the end of the
day that Hoyle was charged of stealing a car, he's
steal in jail, Like, how do you how do you
how does that happen on the wedding day? I mean,
I guess we're just assuming he's hammered, but they don't
say that in the story here. And then why was

(21:51):
he leaving if everyone's at the wedding? Was he late
getting to the wedding? Like there's there's a lot of
things I don't understand, but you know, like, how's that right?
Because everything's got to go perfect right, or it's say, oh,
my day's ruined, like this is probably top tier right
as far as weddings getting ruined, or maybe there's some

(22:13):
sordid backstory where he was, you know, he's been an
absent father and then was deciding to show up, but
he s doesn't.

Speaker 1 (22:19):
Have his crap together.

Speaker 2 (22:20):
I really wish they would have asked some more questions
down there in Charlotte, WSOC.

Speaker 1 (22:26):
Did this story here?

Speaker 2 (22:27):
So I don't know, I don't know what the background is,
but that's got to be about worst case scenario, right
there was And here's the other thing. Was it before
or after the Actually I guess that's where the I
don't know if they got married there at the same time,
like somebody's he's gonna walk her down the aisle.

Speaker 1 (22:47):
You got the father daughter dance.

Speaker 2 (22:49):
Meanwhile dad's running a gone in sixty seconds car theft
ring just down the street. So maybe we'll get a
follow up there. All right, let's go ahead and do this.

Speaker 1 (23:05):
Oh oh, one other thing I want to mention too.

Speaker 2 (23:08):
And if you're into watching videos, did you guys see
the video of the gorilla at the San Diego Zoo yesterday?
This is amazing. All right, So you know how it works, right,
you go to the zoo, and especially with gorillas, people
the people are all, you know, lined up along the glass,
and of course there's you know, a percentage of them

(23:31):
who are basically just trying to get the gorilla to react.
So they're screaming, they're making faces, the kids are making faces,
people are yelling stuff, they're putting their arms out like
their whole coat and to you know, kind of puff
up and look aggressive at the gorilla and then the
thing will come flying at the glass and that just
makes their day. So that's what's going on, except with

(23:52):
a little twist. So the gorilla, who literally was wound
up while these people standing there, comes flying at the glass,
hits the glass, the glass shatters. Everyone's attitude changed very abruptly,
and I'm like, this is great, this is in fact,
this is how we should.

Speaker 1 (24:13):
Be running these things. Ross. Here's here's my proposal. Tell
me what you think.

Speaker 2 (24:19):
So this enclosure probably has I don't know, one hundred
individual panes of glass, right if you go all because
it's it's stacked, it's a big circular exhibit. So the
gorillas are kind of in the middle but everyone can
walk around it. Ninety Nine of those panes of glass
need to be the super reinforced because even though it

(24:40):
did shatter, it didn't shatter and then fall away. Okay,
but you know at that point they rushed out to
get the gorillas out because how many times can you
hit that before it will I don't know. Ninety nine
of them are the super solid glass. One is Hollywood
breakaway glass. We just see what happens. It's it's it's

(25:04):
a little adventure. You just want to make sure you're
not the slowest person. The gorilla exhibit. Gorilla doesn't know,
you don't know. Nobody knows until they know, and then
you put cameras around. I would, I would, I would
sit it. I would have that thing permanently running.

Speaker 1 (25:21):
On my phone. I mean, depending on how many people
are at the zoo, you can actually have that, you know,
one hundred men versus gorilla meme.

Speaker 2 (25:28):
Yes, we'll figure out the answer. That's a very good point.
Stick one hundred dudes in there. Put it on the
you know, put it out. Do some gambling properly, please
your bet, place your bets. But one of them, that
gorilla is coming, man, and I think It would also
improve the way people treat zoo animals instead of screwing

(25:49):
with them. And it doesn't just have to be the
gorilla exhibit. I think that any of the big cats
exhibits would be fine. The polar bear, Oh, the polar
bear love.

Speaker 1 (25:58):
That love it? Mm mmmmm. They love people. I who's
against this? Who could possibly?

Speaker 2 (26:13):
This is far more entertaining and it would bring renewed
interest to the zoo. Perhaps you could fundraise off of it.
There's a lot of opportunity here. And I think that
we're just cracking the surface with what happened in San
Diego yesterday. All right since and I've actually been to
the San Diego Zoo. It's pretty famous zoo. And to
your point, Ross there is it's so it's like Disneyland packed.

(26:38):
Because I've been to Disneyland but not Disney World, I
assume it's the same. It's like always jam packed. So
easily it would be like five hundred to one, and
I think the grill would still whoop up.

Speaker 1 (26:48):
But you know, let's.

Speaker 2 (26:50):
Find out six forty six. Hang on, you knew this
was coming with the Columbus Day, so you know the
activists this time not soup, but rather some sort of
red paint. Uh snuck it into Madrid. Madrid's Naval Museum,
which also has a they have those really big nineteenth

(27:12):
century Christopher Columbus. They're like the size of a wall.
I don't know how to describe it, but it's the
one where you see him with the cross. He's on
the rocks, ocean behind him, ships and then they're meeting
the Native Americans. There's a series of these, so but
that's the most famous one, and I know you've seen it,
even if if it's not clicking with.

Speaker 1 (27:30):
You right now.

Speaker 3 (27:31):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (27:31):
So these they get in and they decide they're gonna
throw red paint on this thing. And you know the
problem is that there's a layer of film over it,
so they didn't actually get it, but visually they throw
the paint, and because it's so big, they inadvertently missed Columbus,
which was the one that covers Columbus. But you know
they throw like girls, so sorry ladies, and so they

(27:55):
threw it and then they ended up covering the Native
Americans and then it's just Columbus with the ross standing
on the rock. So then you can tell they're like ah,
and then by then there's people descending upon them, so
they were not able to.

Speaker 1 (28:11):
To get it. They had it.

Speaker 2 (28:12):
They got pictures here of the crew cleaning it, because
again it's got something over it, because they've seen this
movie before and it's gonna be just fine. The piece
of case, if you want to look it up, is
called First Tribute to Christopher Columbus by Jose Garneo's pretty cool.
I've literally been here, so yeah, I don't know if

(28:38):
I go back to Spain either. That's just craziness. So uh,
good job, ladies. Maybe, uh, maybe you should have practiced
just saying all right, back to more horrible coverage from yesterday,
because lord knows we got enough of it. Uh and uh,
real quickly, this dude, do you know who mister f
a fo is describe? That's what the internet kind of

(29:00):
dubbed this guy, and then he embraced it and and so.

Speaker 1 (29:05):
He's the guy.

Speaker 2 (29:06):
And you've seen montages that just keep showing up doing
different jobs in Gaza right here. He is here, he
is is a radar tech or excuse me an X
ray tech here, he is as a chef here, he
is is a firefighter here, and it was like it
was just all this weird cosplay, and it was people

(29:28):
were arguing over what it was, but it was a
little bit of both. Okay, they were saying, it's it's
a conspiracy.

Speaker 1 (29:34):
That's not the guy.

Speaker 2 (29:35):
You just you think all gozin's look the same, and
then others were saying he's just a YouTuber or a
TikToker or whatever, and that's part of his stick where
he tries to he's like Mike Row, I swear. Somebody
said he's like, oh, he's like micro and I'm like,
the eighty percent of the thing is rubble right now.
Even Mike Row ain't going there. But whatever, And and

(29:57):
the reality is he is a social media influencer, or
I should say was, but also a propagandist, right, and
that's what he used his platform for to propagandas and
steal allegedly thirteen million dollars a Loah.

Speaker 1 (30:17):
Alone, alone alone a lot.

Speaker 2 (30:27):
I don't know if he's I don't know what he's saying.
But so this is this is the stuff, you know.
So he's sitting there with the jetskar and and and
it was you know, he got.

Speaker 1 (30:37):
A lot of clicks for it.

Speaker 2 (30:38):
The problem is, oh, is that when the that is
when the actual attack was happening. Okay, Russ is just
telling me that my ears, sorry, I was just looking.
I was trying to look up something else. So my
brain is only half connected here because I wanted to
check on one thing before I said it.

Speaker 1 (30:54):
Well, anyway, so.

Speaker 2 (30:57):
He's basically it sounds like he was going to use
that position to steal thirteen million dollars worth of relief.

Speaker 1 (31:08):
Aid.

Speaker 2 (31:08):
I don't know what a form it was all in.
It had to be somewhat transportable, obviously, so maybe it
was a cash or medical supplies or a combination thereof
the problem was some people who were bigger pieces of
garbage than him wanted to steal it also, and so
the story is that they murdered him for taking it.

(31:32):
You know, because there's a scramble right now. If you're
one of the you know, the the real bad guys
with moss, you're gonna grab whatever you want and get
the hell out of Dodge. You got to you gotta move,
just like some of these Antifa leaders ross you see
any videos of them tracking down Antifa leaders and like
Switzerland and stuff, the ones from Portland, the people found

(31:53):
of the ones from Portland have already skipped Portland when
the FEDS got there, and some reporter followed him to
like Sweden or Switch or something. And I was seeing
a story that there's like twenty to twenty five ANTIFA
leaders who are not currently residing in the US but
still managing stuff out there because of the Trump stuff,

(32:14):
and so now reporters are.

Speaker 1 (32:15):
Tracking them down.

Speaker 2 (32:17):
After years of progress on gender, the male gaze is back.
What does that mean? All right, here's what it means,
CNN and a bunch of stuffy professors from like Leola,
doctor Linda Zayer, just a bunch of people in this
article are very upset because women are being portrayed in media.

Speaker 1 (32:41):
As attractive again.

Speaker 2 (32:43):
Thus men want to see them be because they're attractive.
So after you know, years of trying to socially engineer
what is attractive and it not working, Like here's a
Calvin kleinad with an obese trans black man, which is
an actual ad.

Speaker 1 (33:03):
They ran.

Speaker 2 (33:06):
Check it out sitting around in their underwear, and people like,
I don't.

Speaker 1 (33:10):
I don't want to.

Speaker 2 (33:11):
And it's not just that I didn't want to see
pictures yesterday of Justin Trudeau. Uh, make it out with
Katie Perry on a yacht, but Twitter didn't care. Nobody
put a warning over it. So, which, by the way,
who wears jeans on a yacht? If I just get
a little sidetracked here, is that a nobody? No, you
don't if you're going on a yacht. And when I

(33:33):
say yacht, she got a yacht? Of course she does.
If you were if if if I had a yacht,
you know what, I just think about ross. You know what,
you know what, kids love yachts. We probably need to
do a yacht for the kids too. What do you
think one hundred feet or would that be of scene?

Speaker 1 (33:54):
I don't think we're going big enough. Yeah, that's a
good point. Did I say feet?

Speaker 2 (33:57):
I meant meters? Now we're now, we're now, we're cooking
with gas.

Speaker 1 (34:02):
I saw the photo of them to yesterday and I'm like,
he's still not beating the allegations. What would those be?
Ain't helping?

Speaker 2 (34:11):
Mh he's wearing jeans.

Speaker 1 (34:14):
On a yacht? I mean I might do that. Let's
say that it says.

Speaker 2 (34:20):
Somebody listening has a yacht, I mean like a big
old yacht.

Speaker 1 (34:24):
Hey, we'd love to have you guys. If you wear
jeans that would be so insulting.

Speaker 2 (34:28):
You gotta wear you gotta wear uh you know, uh
the the bro boat bro bro bro Bro douche outfits
right with the uh the doc shoes, the docksiders, the
little short shorts, or you could wear you know, swim trunks.
I guess because we've done.

Speaker 1 (34:48):
It before where we go places and market's like, you're
wearing jeans. I'm like, yeah, that's what I wear, you know.
And like even when we go to like you know,
to the to the beach house, there's been times where
like I would you know, I'm just wearing jeans to
the beach and I'm like, eventually, if I'm there long enough,
I'm like, maybe I'll put on the you know, swimsuit
or something.

Speaker 2 (35:04):
Yeah, Or look, if you want to wear pants, you
can wear non jeans pants.

Speaker 1 (35:09):
So you give me some time on the yacht, I
might get into some Tommy Bahama or something. I think
I think you would you would evolve pirate more probably, yeah, probably,
but yeah, go up, be like why you'd see you
a month later? You got an eyepatch and a parrot?
All right? Man?

Speaker 2 (35:27):
Hey, you know you could you go separate directions with.

Speaker 1 (35:30):
This and also the yacht would have to be like
docked right and and like next to like a very
big doc And because I'm not gonna go on a
yacht on the ocean, because that'll think.

Speaker 2 (35:41):
No, there's there's yachts all over the ocean right now,
not sinking, not doing it.

Speaker 1 (35:46):
Mm hmm.

Speaker 2 (35:49):
That's the point of a yacht. So you can go
explore man, go island hop in the Caribbean, or around
the med or you know whatever.

Speaker 1 (35:58):
I could do that or I could stay home. Is yeah,
I feel like they's gonna be wasted on you. What's
the point.

Speaker 2 (36:07):
I got a buddy who moved down to the beach
is terrified of boats and docks.

Speaker 1 (36:13):
That's true story.

Speaker 2 (36:15):
I didn't I try to get him. We tried to
get him into a boat once and I didn't. I
didn't realize he had this weird phobia. He freaked out. Dude,
He's like, I'll drive because we we were in Surf City.
His place is in North Topsail. We got another friend
who's all the way like south on the island there,
and so we're over at his place and we're gonna
jump in that dude's boat and a cocktail cruise up

(36:38):
to North Topsail, right, which, yeah, that'll take a little while.
There's some restaurants right there on the in on the
inside we would have stopped at. And he's like, I'm not.
And the other guy's like, you didn't know he won't
get a boat. I'm like, he moved to the beach, man,
like if you're scared of the ocean, moved Iowa. So

(37:01):
he listens to the show sometimes too, so he knows
I'm calling him out, but I'm not going to use
your name, buddy.

Speaker 1 (37:06):
I just think it's funny.

Speaker 2 (37:07):
He's a huge dude too, Like I mean, like, you know,
five hundred pounds life. I mean it's like six foot five, like,
you know, he could he should be able to swim
his way out. Loves the beach visually, not interacting with it.
It's just pretty crazy. I don't even think he's And
he has a doc. That's that's so weird about it. Man,

(37:32):
all right, anyway, back to the CNN story. So CNN
is upset, and yeah, here we go. This from the article.
Most typically, the male gaze is about representing women in
media solely to satisfy heterosexual men. Spoiler alert, heterosexual men
are the first or second largest demo. And also, I

(37:56):
don't know if you know this, sometimes they put good
looking men on tele so I can have to learn
what a mc steamy or McDreamy is, which are those
the same person? And I don't remember what show that's from.
But it was a thing and it was all women
doing it, so clearly their loins were burning and nobody

(38:18):
cared unless they had to have it explained to them
in like detail by their significant other. Wow, they just
just want five minutes apiece. But whatever, that's a thing.
If you're observing women in movies, TV, fashion, social media
and marketing and they don't feel let's see, as fully

(38:44):
what a weird way to write this, They don't feel
as fully materialized as their male counterparts, that is the
male gaze. So if if a woman looks good on
a TV show, but it's not the star of the
TV show, she's just there for that, that seems pretty rude.

Speaker 1 (39:02):
Actually seems pretty pretty.

Speaker 2 (39:06):
Rude to this actress, who you know, clearly has if
she's on some you know, NBC, CBS, ABC show, clearly
has elevated herself and her craft, gotten this work. But
because she looks good, you're just like she's just there
for that. That's weird, Like affirmative action thinking.

Speaker 1 (39:24):
It always does seem to go in one direction too,
because you have like the women who recently all had
like manchin and weigh two thousand pounds, and the dudes
were always like Chris Hemsworth and thor or like Chris
evans or.

Speaker 2 (39:38):
And they were always dumb too, Yeah, dumber than the women.
You know, you had to go in that direction. Uh
let's see here. Yeah, this lady's so upset, this Leola professor.

Speaker 1 (39:52):
You know what kicked this off, right? I remember the
moment that kicked this off. Yeah, where things started to
take a turn. It was Sweny and SNL.

Speaker 2 (40:00):
Yeah, this is reaction to that was Sweeney att Yeah,
and then he had Uh did I hear Herty's just
gonna do the burger thing again?

Speaker 1 (40:10):
I think so? Yes, what's that? Yeah?

Speaker 2 (40:12):
I think so yeah, Like the shackles are off, they're
going to do the things that were people wanted to see.
I mean, do you remember Cidney Sweeney was at the
end of the SNL episode where they're congratulating and thanking everyone,
and there she is in the center, and it was
like we had gotten to the point where that was
a big story, like, oh my god, there's an attractive
female showing off her boobs on TV. I have seen

(40:35):
this in like twenty years. Yeah, like what is going on?

Speaker 1 (40:38):
Hello, my old friend. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (40:41):
But also also it's not Here's the thing Sidney Sweeney
is is also a She's like, she's a good actress.
I mean, I don't know that she's an oscar worthy
at this point or anything, but I've seen a couple
of things with her in it, and you know, she
does a good job. She did a good job on

(41:01):
the uh on the uh what was it, the White Lotus?
You guys watching it in the White Lotus. That's an
interesting show, man. I actually did a bang up job
on there, so, especially because it was set at a
beach resort. So there's that. But yeah, and the thing is,
most of the people on the show are attractive too,
And that's an HBO woke production. Bro. So I don't know,

(41:26):
I'm I if CNN's mad, then it must be a
good thing, is generally how I view that. I And
by the way, I noticed they don't have a picture
of this professor.

Speaker 1 (41:36):
I'm gonna look it up. Ross.

Speaker 2 (41:40):
Let's see here take a gas because you've also never
seen her. Do you think that this professor.

Speaker 1 (41:47):
What's her stupid name? Sorry?

Speaker 2 (41:52):
I scrolled way too far down the story? Is doctor
Linda Tunkzayer hot or not? What do you think? Before
I look it up? And she's got a photo on?

Speaker 1 (42:02):
Who is she?

Speaker 2 (42:03):
She is the Layola Women's studies professor is mad that
they're putting attractive women back on. She's the harpy in
this story.

Speaker 1 (42:12):
Right, So I mean, odds are she's going to be,
you know, the typical fugly leftist is what you would imagine.

Speaker 2 (42:21):
All right, so that's what you're going with, I think, yeah,
all right.

Speaker 1 (42:24):
So let's go shill shock the world here. I don't know.

Speaker 2 (42:28):
No, No, she's a she is a pretty attractive woman.

Speaker 1 (42:35):
What's her beef? Yeah, it's trying to feel special? What's that?
It's like it's like it's like a hot guilt, do
you know? Yeah?

Speaker 2 (42:47):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, which is you know, and that's like
the rich guilt you see in New York, which is
why they're wanting to.

Speaker 1 (42:51):
Literally crash through. No, it's it's the white guilt thing,
but it's for attractive people. She's got hot guilt. Oh,
let's go over and help work it.

Speaker 2 (43:00):
I don't know, although I do see why she might
be mad at Sydney Sweeney for two reasons.

Speaker 1 (43:10):
Oh well, there you go.

Speaker 2 (43:14):
I'll let you guess what those are seven seventeen. Hang on,
is there any locally that I'm oh? Yeah, no's the
what's the thing? The big Halloween haunted hay Ride thing.
Didn't you guys go to that here?

Speaker 1 (43:26):
The like, it's not really haunted. Hillridge Farms did a
thing we used to go to. I got but yeah,
back in the day, I us still all the time.
When I worked in Salt Lake City, there was this
one that was the most amazing thing you've ever seen
when it comes to haunted houses.

Speaker 2 (43:38):
Is it's funny because that's the one we're going to
talk about right now.

Speaker 1 (43:41):
Oh okay, yep. Except it's called.

Speaker 2 (43:45):
The End and it looks I'm looking at a picture
of it. It's just it's there's a lot of work
here and it's super interactive. So this is a thing.
At some haunted houses you can wear something that indicates
that you're willing to be physically tough. It's not harmed,
but like the monster is going to grab you right

(44:05):
it to make.

Speaker 1 (44:07):
The experience scarier.

Speaker 2 (44:08):
Right, So in this case, if you show up and
you get like a it's like a glowstick on a
on a like a necklace. If you're wearing that, that
indicates to the actors that you can be touched. Well,
one Utah woman who is an absolute smoke show, because
I think that she's trying to indicate that that's what's

(44:29):
up here. She is very offended, contemplating a lawsuit and
has posted her experience online and already has like a
half million views on this thing. All right, So here's
what happened. Oh and it's funny too because she went
there with her quote now ex boyfriend. Wait for that twist.
So she and her now ex boyfriend show up to

(44:50):
this haunted house the other day. She literally signs the
waiver to get the necklace so that she can be touched.
There's ten people in their group that are going through this.
And then here's where the horror story starts.

Speaker 1 (45:06):
All right.

Speaker 2 (45:07):
She claims that one of the actors they encountered who
was dressed up as a crazed killer but in a
like a doll mask, a creepy doll mask. When they
went into his room or wherever that actor is. He
grabbed her lightly.

Speaker 1 (45:23):
Around the floor.

Speaker 2 (45:24):
He's not squeezing, but he used he hit his hand
and pushed her against the wall, holding his weapon, leaned
in and said, I'll be seeing you later, and then
just let her go. That's it, that's the And then
she said later the same actor showed up in another room,
but like there was a bunch of them.

Speaker 1 (45:44):
Descending on the room.

Speaker 2 (45:45):
So so now she's upset, saying that, you know, that
actor shouldn't have grabbed her. Then she goes into another
room and another actor throws a bag over her head
or like a burlap sack or something and picks her
up and then just kind of like scurries her out

(46:06):
of the room into the adjacent room. Let's see here,
And then she claims that the uh so they're in
the next room. The boyfriend and everyone had just seen
her drug into this room. I think she was the
one who was grabbed because she probably is the smallest.

(46:27):
Just looking at her, she looks like she's very petite.
She says, he's pressed up against me and he's whispering
in my ear, talking about horrible things he's gonna do.
And at that point, she decided that this was not okay.
When she says she was released, she found her group,

(46:49):
blah blah blah, She removed her glowstick necklace, ran towards
the egg exit and got the heck out of there.
And then I guess she could broke up with her
boyfriend because he didn't save her or something. And it's like, man,
what do you think someone who is an actor in
one of these full contact haunted houses at your decision made?

(47:12):
What do you think they're going? What do you think
a craze killer would do to you? Clearly she wasn't harmed,
she doesn't have any marks or anything. So the guy,
you know when I said he's grabbed her or picked
her up or any of that stuff, clearly they've probably
done that before. Yeah, some of these, some of these
haunted houses are getting real real, Like isn't there one

(47:35):
where they will harm you? The cac O Day radio program,
Uh yeah, we'll do a whole theft thing, dude, check
this out. So MTV has announced they are shutting down
their video channels and they're they're staging this. So these

(47:55):
are the international or these are the ones, but they're
now not going to be available in internationally, and they're
just gonna shut them down and then phase them out
here in the US. MTV is getting out of the
music video business totally, which makes sense. When's the last
time you watched it? Where do you watch music videos now?
And you can just look at the count you go

(48:16):
to the YouTube you got videos there with you know,
six hundred million views and stuff. That's where people are
going to watch them because you don't have to wait.
You want to go God forbid to see the new
Katy Perry video, it's right there waiting for So if
you're MTV who long ago figured out that that's a
loss leader and you know devastated our childhood ross, how

(48:38):
often was MTV on in your house even just his
background if you and your friends were hanging out.

Speaker 1 (48:43):
Yeah, so I would get up and you know, get
ready for school. Yeah, before the bus stop. My morning
routine was Sports Center and MTV. Yeah, it's it.

Speaker 2 (48:52):
And if if we had people over at the house,
even if we're doing something else and the TVs that
we'd put it on the MTV. You have the music
in the background, and you know, you guys are screwing
around to whatever we're doing. So I don't know, but
I also understand it. I just hate that reality shows

(49:12):
have ruined. You had another network, but y'all watched them.
So do you remember, like, because you know, it didn't
used to be that way. He used to be music videos, you, Yeah,
and they had different shows and genres and stuff head
Banger's Ball or yeah, the Grind or whatever, you know
what I mean.

Speaker 1 (49:31):
But then you had when they started to introduce these
reality shows. Remember when that first happened with the Real World,
it was like, what is this?

Speaker 2 (49:38):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (49:38):
Yeah? Yeah? Remember uh who were the two in San Francisco?
You had Puck and Pedro? Remember who was fighting? I
didn't watch any of them. No, I didn't either. I
was like, I don't want to watch this stuff.

Speaker 2 (49:49):
Yeah, but I knew I had some friends that were
really into it, and I didn't understand it. I'm just like, what, well,
why do you want to watch a bunch of people
you don't know just literally do boring stuff.

Speaker 1 (50:01):
I remember saying, I'm like, you put the music back on?
What was the Oh?

Speaker 2 (50:08):
So MTV was the betrayal, but the biggest betrayal for me,
the thing that really irritated me, and I think it
probably drove me to eventually cut the cord.

Speaker 1 (50:19):
Was when the.

Speaker 2 (50:20):
History Channel sold out and I went to turn on
the History Like I'm a nerd man. I love the documentaries.
I love documentaries, and you know, you turn on the
History Channel and they're like, all right, let's go to
the pawn shop or let's go to the let's do
the pickers thing.

Speaker 1 (50:37):
Yeah, I agree, and.

Speaker 2 (50:37):
Then there would be like a tenuous connection to history.
Sometimes there's old stuff, right, and I'm like, no, no, no, no,
tell me, I want to hear for the hundredth time
about how the Allies retook Europe.

Speaker 1 (50:49):
You remember the same thing. Remember when History Channel when
it first came out, it was just World War two
twenty four to.

Speaker 2 (50:53):
Seven, great, amazing and then gone gone, and then you
know the aliens, Like you know, we referenced the show,
and I've watched a lot of the show that at
least kind of vibed in that direction, even if it
was you know, how do you say.

Speaker 1 (51:15):
Speculated? I've learned so much about science and history from
that show.

Speaker 2 (51:21):
Have you can you make the bag dad battery?

Speaker 1 (51:25):
Are you able to do that?

Speaker 2 (51:27):
I think I made one of those for a science
project back in the day, So where's my metal?

Speaker 1 (51:32):
I will say the ancient Eliens show was fantastic. I
think it's still on too. Oh yeah, they're still going
at it. But when that show first launched, it was
like what is this about? And that was interesting at least,
you know, wat Yeah, you could watch it and realize that,
you know, they were, you know, a little bat crap crazy,
but at least it was entertaining to watch.

Speaker 2 (51:50):
Now, are you making judgments on that dude's hair?

Speaker 4 (51:53):
Is that?

Speaker 2 (51:53):
What's happening here?

Speaker 1 (51:55):
I got nothing but love for Giorgio Suklos.

Speaker 2 (51:57):
Yeah, man, yeah, Nori I was. I remember talking to
Nori about the tapings and all of those and like
what do he and it's just like he just was
so nonchalant about it. He's just like, oh, yeah, so
we'll tape blah blah blah blah blah. They pretty much
just give me the you know, the I don't even
know what the full episodes are about, but they'll give
me whatever the topic is, and uh, producers will have

(52:20):
something there and then I'll respond to it. And he goes, yeah,
it's really easy, and I'm like, dude, that sounds like
that sounds like a great gig because I mean, I'm
sure they're paying them a nice amount of money. Plus
he's got it, you know clearly what he does on this.

Speaker 1 (52:34):
That's what I want to see, the outtakes. I want
to see the behind the scenes of them filming that
now where there's just a camera in front of Georgia
and they're like, oh, the Founding Fathers and Aliens and
he's like George Wash and he just riffs, you know
what I mean. That's but also where they finally just
crack up because they're like, nah, even this is too stupid.
There was an episode that Giorgio Suklos refused to do.

(52:57):
I think there's only been one, and it was a
matter of it was a Hollow Earth episode. What was
his beef? That was too far? He said, it was
really ridiculous.

Speaker 2 (53:08):
So ancient aliens breeding us to mine gold for them?

Speaker 1 (53:13):
Fine, right, But that was the one episode where he's like,
I can't do it. So maybe that's what I want
to say. I want to see them behind the cameras
and they're like Hollow Earth and he's like, come on, guys, yeah,
I'm a scientist. Ya, I'm a scientist.

Speaker 2 (53:26):
Come on, yeah, No, I maybe they'll put out a well,
I don't know, a special documentary on it.

Speaker 1 (53:35):
It would be an interesting documentary, just.

Speaker 2 (53:38):
Like, because that show's been around long enough and has
covered so much ground. Just trying to get behind the
scenes there might actually be fascinating. Oh you know what's
not fascinating watching Christine I'm a poor and her reading
Now this is her apology, but she'll quote what she
said in the apology, So I'm not going to hit
you with what she said because she says it again.

(54:01):
But this, like, how does this chick still have a job?

Speaker 1 (54:04):
Man?

Speaker 2 (54:05):
I remember how awful she was doing one of the
debates too, just absolutely and like, if you couldn't think
she's more in the bag, listen to this now.

Speaker 3 (54:14):
Earlier Life on air, I spoke about what a day
of real joy this is for Israeli families whose loved
ones are finally being returned from two years of horrific
Hamas captivity, and for civilians in Gaza who finally had
reprieved from two years of brutal and deadly war. I
noted that for the hostages who are finally home, it'll
take a long time for them to recover mentally and physically.

(54:36):
But I regret also saying that they might have been
treated better than many Gazans because Hamas used these hostages
as pawns and bargaining chips. But that was insensitive and
it was wrong. From speaking to many former hostages and
their families, Like everyone, I've been horrified at what Hamas
has subjected them to over two long years. They've told

(54:57):
me as You've just heard their stories of barely being
able to breathe in the tunnels, not being allowed to cry,
being starved and made to dig their own grades. And
of course today some of the hostages are coming back
in body bags.

Speaker 2 (55:10):
Like how do you arrive at the decision as part
of your coverage of yesterday's happenings to say that the
Gosins were the hostages were treated better than the people
in Gaza, who Well, I mean, clearly there is, but
we're talking about the treating of the people on the

(55:31):
part of you know, aid organizations whatnot. It's not like
they weren't bringing eight It just wasn't reaching because it
would be immediately stolen. What was that crazy number ross?
It was like what seven percent of the aid made
it to the Gosins. It was like it was single
digits or low teens.

Speaker 1 (55:49):
Maybe it was.

Speaker 2 (55:52):
It was like it was even if it was far
lower than even I thought. I thought, all right, maybe
they're getting like half of it or two thirds of it. Nah,
they were basically getting all of it. And then she
muses that absolute insanity. Man, all right, seven forty three
here on the Cacoda Radio program, mister stagic, morning there,

(56:16):
oh there he is.

Speaker 1 (56:16):
Okay, what's going on?

Speaker 2 (56:17):
We're here.

Speaker 1 (56:18):
I'm way up to I saw that we're.

Speaker 2 (56:21):
Gonna start talking about forties, and I'm very excited.

Speaker 1 (56:24):
And I don't mean the beer.

Speaker 7 (56:26):
I mean the no, yeah, no, yeah, Friday morning probably
gonna be the coolest morning, low forties maybe, which means
maybe some thirties, upper thirties in the mountains. Gonna be
one of the cooler shots we've had. But it'll be
short lived. Hopefully the Bills losing streak won't.

Speaker 1 (56:45):
Be didn't you just lose to the Panthers? No, I'm
you know, dude, this season done the wheels of phone.
You know who? Do you know? Who? Ross? Do you
know who? The Bills play next? The Panthers, who we're
probably gonna lose by forty probably in two weeks.

Speaker 2 (57:03):
The injuries yesterday, I didn't realize half of.

Speaker 1 (57:05):
These teams in the hospital. Oh, here we go, here
we go.

Speaker 7 (57:08):
Is that what he's going to He's going to use
the injury thing.

Speaker 1 (57:12):
No, I mean I'm saying the defense is with cheese
and they need to finish that. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (57:16):
Well, you know the club doesn't have one of Allen's
favorite weapons on the field. You have Stay to throw too,
so that's a problem.

Speaker 7 (57:23):
Yeah, but I don't know are the are the Falcons
do you think? I mean only saw the first couple
of series, but they look they look pretty good. They
look pretty good. I think there's a defense that bad.
I think the Bills were that bad.

Speaker 1 (57:34):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (57:35):
Bad.

Speaker 1 (57:35):
I've been saying for a while. I've been saying since
week two that, oh, you've been bragging the now. I've
been saying since week two that their record wasn't They're
not as good as the record. The four teams they've
beaten have a combined record of three and twenty one. Right,
that ain't good. And they struggled, so good luck to
fix something. But there were plays.

Speaker 2 (57:54):
I'm not trying to pile on, but I did watch
a little There were plays where It's not that the
Falcons were amazing feats of aerial, you know, throwing and catching.
It's that the guy would be standing there and I
would be like, did this Did the Bills secondary go
to the bathroom where.

Speaker 1 (58:14):
It's been really bad? Anybody paying attention would would have.
I'd hear ray. I didn't know one Bills fan yesterday
and I talked to a bunch of there's not one
of us that thought we were going to win that game? Wow?

Speaker 7 (58:23):
Yeah, well they had. There were quite a few. There
were quite a few in the stadium in Atlanta. I
mean it was. I was at the Falcons, was using
a silent count.

Speaker 1 (58:31):
I was at the gym yesterday and this dude comes
up to me. He's a giant. He looked like hell boy,
tattoos everywhere. He could, put me in his pockets, pick
me up? Was he read? Oh yeah? And he comes
up to me and I'm like, what is this to
want to talk about? He's like, I don't feel good
about tonight because that was where my Bills had right. Yeah,
I know, dude, I know. Did you get him a uniform?

Speaker 7 (58:53):
Sounded like it sounded like it?

Speaker 1 (58:55):
Hell man.

Speaker 2 (58:56):
You're like, I'm buying you a kick it to Atlanta
right now?

Speaker 1 (59:00):
Yeah?

Speaker 7 (59:01):
Anyway, yeah, so the Vikings do no, No, they didn't lose.
Back to the task at hand, is I mean, there's
really not much so at a lot of chatter about
other things. A cool down coming after a couple of
days near just above seventy degrees. Uh, some clouds today,
especially around the triangle points east. Still dealing with some
of the residual of that coastal storm moving away. It's

(59:24):
still gusty, breeze at times, fifties tonight and tomorrow night.
And then that cold front comes in and by Thursday
and Friday, probably not out of the mid number sixties
or highs.

Speaker 1 (59:32):
Lows into the low to mid forties.

Speaker 7 (59:34):
And then we're quickly going to modify again with the
next chance of showers coming in by Sunday night. So
we're gonna stay in this plenty more dry than wet,
and these brief little cool shots coming in, but nowhere
long sustained cool air over the next seven days.

Speaker 2 (59:47):
Okay, all right, well, thank you much, sir, we'll chat
the next hour. Okay, yep, all right, coming up on
the show Ross, if you stole an ancient relic do
you give it back if.

Speaker 1 (59:58):
You got away? Well, I don't know what you talking about.

Speaker 2 (01:00:01):
I mean, this story is pretty crazy.

Speaker 1 (01:00:05):
Right here. Unless it's cursed. Maybe, I don't know. We'll
fill you in on the details next.

Speaker 2 (01:00:09):
Hang on. That's an interesting conundrum, dude. The somebody put
a list together of the different politicians and whether they
sent out Columbus or Indigenous People's Day celebrations.

Speaker 1 (01:00:21):
Or both one or the other or both.

Speaker 2 (01:00:24):
And there's some crazy ones like the Leader of the Senate,
John Thune from South Dakota. He just went with Indigenous
People's Day, which you know, arguably in South Dakota. That's
it's he has a much higher percentage of people who

(01:00:48):
can vote in South Dakota who also are tribal members.
I mean, you have some you have really really big
spreads up there, and some among probably some of the worst.
The Pine Pine Ridge up there is probably arguably one
of the worst just financially devastated reservations in the US.

Speaker 1 (01:01:10):
And it's I mean.

Speaker 2 (01:01:11):
It's really bad, really really bad. In fact, so it
sits literally right on the South Dakota border with Nebraska
and right in right outside of the of the entrance.
Because once you cross the border into South Dakota, you're

(01:01:31):
in you're on the Pine Ridge Reservation. So just on
the Nebraska side, they just the whole town. Little town
there is like a gas station and twenty liquor stores.
And actually I think in Nebraska they made him close
a bunch of it because they said it was predatory
because it's you're not supposed to have alcohol on the resort.
It's a dry reservation. So but still, man, it irritated

(01:01:55):
a lot of people. Since he's Senate Majority leader. This
woman who's running for Virginia Lieutenant governor, she sent out
an Indigenous People's Day and she's actually from India. So
I don't know how that comports. I don't know what
what do people who are of Indian heritage think of
the whole Indians thing? I've never asked. I don't know.

(01:02:16):
But yeah, the John Thune thing, that that surprised me.

Speaker 4 (01:02:21):
All right.

Speaker 2 (01:02:21):
Speaking of ancient times or times from long ago, Uh,
let's say, I don't know, fifty years ago, you stole
an ancient Greek relic while you're on your honeymoon or whatever,
had it at your house the whole time. Do you
give it back fifty years later, because that's what this

(01:02:43):
chick did. German woman who stole ancient relic over fifty
years ago returns it to Greece, saying it's never too
late to do the right thing. I mean, if you
got the relic, you got the relic. No give it
unless it's cursed. That's that is the one exception this Well,
if it's cursed and the only way to remove the
curse is to put it back where it's supposed.

Speaker 1 (01:03:05):
To be, then I understand.

Speaker 2 (01:03:08):
But it was the capital of the column made of limestone.
How much this thing weigh It's a solid piece of
limestone thirteen inches wide. So yeah, yeah, I could see
how you could get away with that.

Speaker 1 (01:03:26):
Ross.

Speaker 2 (01:03:27):
Do you have any uh? I mean, is it just
that's a recreation the Colossus of Rhodes that's in your yard?

Speaker 1 (01:03:33):
Is that?

Speaker 2 (01:03:34):
Is that what I'm to understanding?

Speaker 1 (01:03:35):
Their family heirlooms. Oh you might have noticed the piano
made out of bones. Yeah, yeah, that's that's a conversation.
Yeah yeah, I got that from my uh my great
great uncle Mickey. Yeah. Oh okay, Yeah, where did Mickey
get it? Well, I don't know, you know, I haven't
looked back into that far but I probably it was

(01:03:56):
made by his pappy or some something. You know. Oh,
he is a big was a big you know, bones.
That was his passion, Bones and music. That was his nickname.

Speaker 2 (01:04:05):
That's right, Grandpa Bone, Grandpa Bones, Patty Bones, we called him. Yeah,
family called him Uncle Smoke, right, yeah, because he smoked.

Speaker 1 (01:04:14):
Wasn't his name? Died of lung cancer AnyWho?

Speaker 3 (01:04:18):
Uh?

Speaker 2 (01:04:20):
Sorry, little Debbie Downer there, all right, so I shouldn't
read anything into the uh the statue of Zeus either,
that's heirloom as well.

Speaker 1 (01:04:29):
No, that's not Zeus. That's my uncle David.

Speaker 2 (01:04:33):
Really, yeah, your uncle David through Lightning.

Speaker 4 (01:04:38):
He was.

Speaker 2 (01:04:39):
He was an electrician, Okay, worked at g Okay, my bad,
I'm sorry.

Speaker 1 (01:04:44):
All right.

Speaker 2 (01:04:45):
So you know, over we were talking earlier in the
show about over on Blue Sky like what they were
concerning themselves with yesterday because it wasn't even trending over there,
the whole piece deal thing. Uh and uh I just
saw this. So apparently Senator Fetterman from Pennsylvania, mister hoodie there,

(01:05:08):
who by the way, has been very consistent on this ross.
You remember seeing the video of him outside where the
where the CAFIA protesters where he's flipping them.

Speaker 1 (01:05:16):
Off, like because they were screencraft. I've seen so much
like positive stuff from Fetterman where it's I feel like
he's the only saying Democrat left.

Speaker 2 (01:05:26):
Although there are a couple issues where I do question
is but anyway, that being said, so he goes over
to Blue Sky and starts posting quotes from released hostages.
The nightmare finally ends. May the hostages have a full recovery?
Credit to President Trump for a breakthrough.

Speaker 1 (01:05:44):
What do you think the reaction was? What do you
think it was?

Speaker 2 (01:05:49):
You know, like a conversation where no, of course, not
f you, John resign or didn't APAC give you enough money?
STFU something about a Lewinsky thing.

Speaker 1 (01:06:04):
We'll just leave it at that. But this is weird.

Speaker 2 (01:06:09):
Those hostages were there for a year, longer than they
could have been if not for Trump.

Speaker 1 (01:06:15):
What is that theory? Why?

Speaker 2 (01:06:19):
I don't even know what that guy's referencing. Was there
some point a year ago where if Trump wasn't here,
the homostus would have released him? I do not remember that.
I can't read that one. Then they're calling him genocide John. Yeah,

(01:06:43):
these replies, they're nuts. I am so glad. I do
not go on that account. Oh what do you lunatics
sends me links to Blue Sky sometime because you're over there,
I don't click any of those. So, I mean, I
appreciate it, and you know, and that's great, but there
is zero chance I would allow any of my devices

(01:07:05):
to have any history going to that website. It's not
gonna happen. Don't you have to And can you even
see stuff without creating an account? I don't even know.
I don't even know. But yeah, you're not gonna get
me over there. But when people do screenshots and put
them on the Twitter, then I'll look at them. We'll

(01:07:27):
get back to some audio here, all right. So, like
I said, that's how they're reacting over on Blue Sky.
How are they reacting over on the view.

Speaker 1 (01:07:36):
Let's check in on that.

Speaker 8 (01:07:37):
I think everyone should be able to celebrate it and listen.
Whether you like Trump or not, I think he, I
think Steve Wikoff and I think Jared Kushner do deserve
credit for this deal. They actually personally met with Hamas
I used to be of the mind, we don't negotiate
with terrorists, but sometimes the only way to get peace
is to sit down with some of the most evil
people and try to come up with what we can

(01:07:59):
do to and the bloodshed. So thank God, I pray
to this piece.

Speaker 9 (01:08:02):
Holds one knowing that Hamas has no power. One thing
they kept sticking on every time these ceasefires didn't work
is they did not want to see power because they
had their tunnel system and they were using their citizens
as human shields and the devastation. They did not want
to hand it over and then they were destroyed. They
really had no choice. But I think the speech we

(01:08:24):
saw today is going to hold to account. Also Prime
Minister net and Yahoo because he's Donald Trump went on
record saying there are things that Israel now needs to
do as well. So this deal was a compromise. Neither
side got everything they wanted. But most importantly those hostages
are home Aid is flooding into Gaza and Hamas has

(01:08:45):
no power ever again in that area.

Speaker 2 (01:08:49):
And then joy Behar added that's what they need, They
need a random hakka on the view. That's how big
this story was. That they were having an actual normal
conversation over on the view.

Speaker 1 (01:09:05):
Think about that.

Speaker 2 (01:09:06):
When was the last time I played you a clip
from the View when they were being normal? Because they
really aren't most of the time. And even though it
was her name, Lisa Ferrer or whatever, the token conservative there,
I won't give the other chick credit, even though she
claims it, like like normally they would just shout her

(01:09:28):
down and she was saying stuff like that, and there
was not a peep from the other side of the table.

Speaker 1 (01:09:34):
So I look, I.

Speaker 2 (01:09:35):
Don't know if the Kimmel so the Kimmel stuff is
still there or they just recognize you'd have to be
you have to be crazy to be mad at this.
But yet then you have the blue Sky stuff, and
you have the Democrats Socialists of America who have come out.
They put a they put a press release out denouncing
the peace deal because they want full Palestinian liberation. I

(01:09:58):
mentioned this earlier on the show, which is not what
they want. I mean, maybe they want it, but that's
not what this is about. This is about the they've
been able to grow their brand, build their ranks and
uh and and get a little bit of political power,
largely on the backs of this thing, because nobody, even
though they had endorsed AOC back of the day, now

(01:10:20):
they hate her.

Speaker 1 (01:10:22):
They really.

Speaker 2 (01:10:25):
They were really just kind of a joke aside thing,
and now statistically like they're getting enough votes in some
of the smaller races where there's growing power there, and
so holding these Kafia you know, marches and boojuws rallies
and and you know, talking crap about bagels and taking

(01:10:45):
over college camp like that's that's their passion.

Speaker 1 (01:10:49):
Man, what do you do. You're gonna have to pivot.

Speaker 2 (01:10:53):
And we had some theories earlier about where they may pivot.
But that's your that's your brand, that's your idea. Unity
standing around screaming at college kids who look like they
might be Jewish, that's how you built your ranks. And
now you don't have that as a thing anymore. I
mean maybe again, we'll see what how this thing holds.

(01:11:14):
But that has to be devastating, Not that I feel
real bad for you, but devastating. Nonetheless, he's Stephen A.
Smith with a more normal reaction.

Speaker 10 (01:11:24):
There is no doubt that he has done more than
practically almost any administration has tried to do when it
comes to ending conflicts around the world, and he's put
himself in a position where the political capital that he
stands to gain isn't necessarily that great. So his willingness
to do so is obviously something that should have be
ignored as something that should be Dare I say applaud

(01:11:45):
it to some degree. Again, that doesn't mean I like
everything he does. You and I can argue back and
forth about a few things, but in the end you
are absolutely right when you point out that there's not
much to gain for him in a lot of this,
yet he engages anyway, and have to give credit where
credit is done.

Speaker 2 (01:12:02):
Okay, Like I said, it was, it was. It was
very and we played some NBC cuts earlier where they're
over the top. I'm im poor with her stupid statement,
but for the most part it was I don't even
know how to describe it. It was like pre two
thousand media where everyone was still making an effort to

(01:12:24):
actually mentally process this and you know, give their takes.
And I don't want to say it was refreshing in
this because I didn't consume a bunch of it live, but.

Speaker 1 (01:12:36):
The like the view thing.

Speaker 2 (01:12:37):
I remember seeing those clips, I'm like, oh Lord, what did.

Speaker 1 (01:12:39):
Those ladies say?

Speaker 2 (01:12:40):
And then I'm like, that's that's pretty normal. Okay, it
is possible. Speaking of possible, ross, there was a potato
heist over the weekend. Are you flushed with potatoes? By
chance you have a lot of potatoes, because this is
quite the heist man. In fact, let me do this.

Speaker 1 (01:13:00):
So this guy has So the story is this guy.

Speaker 2 (01:13:03):
Runs a distillery, and while he does make vodka on site,
most of the alcoholic produces is non podable. It's an
alcohol that's used for like hand sanitizer stuff like them.
So he gets he's got a bunch of potatoes there,
which is you know what he uses to make this.
And so he had the potatoes delivered on Friday, showed

(01:13:25):
up to work yesterday. All the potatoes were gone. They
didn't even steal vodka that was there. But it's how
much potatoes they stole? All right, Ross, let me get
the cliffhanger. How many pounds of potatoes do you think
we're stolen from this man's distillery in like forty eight hours?

Speaker 1 (01:13:43):
Sure? Two thousand pounds of potato? Oh high, you're doing enough? Yeah,
Oh wow, a lot of pounds of potatoes.

Speaker 2 (01:13:50):
There were so many potatoes. They were outside, they were
delivered outside. So ten pounds of much higher gear out
of your mind. No, I'm not much high. Twenty five
tons of potatoes. You don't even have enough digits in
the number three hundred and thirty thousand pounds of potatoes. Wow,

(01:14:13):
So I'll ask again, did you have hash browns this morning?
And for forever?

Speaker 1 (01:14:20):
Dude?

Speaker 2 (01:14:21):
You went on the potato diet, so like, do you
hate potatoes now? Because you only know?

Speaker 1 (01:14:27):
But now I'm on like because of the gym. I'm
on like a protein kick, So I recommend eating just
potatoes if you want to lose weight. It helped me
lose like seventy five pounds in like less than three months.
So yeah, but no, my goals are different now. So
not a lot of carbs and not a lot of potatoes.
I see.

Speaker 2 (01:14:44):
Okay, yeah, no, ross literally ate potatoes for yea three months?

Speaker 1 (01:14:48):
Just plain potatoes, plain baked potatoes for three months. Yeap.

Speaker 2 (01:14:52):
And you can have water and coffee yeah the other
yeah yeah, just there's always have potatoes.

Speaker 1 (01:14:59):
So there you out.

Speaker 2 (01:15:00):
So I actually I would I would have ruled you out.
So anyway, but three hundred three do you think you
consume three hundred thirty thousand pounds of potatoes? I mean
towards the end because potatoes will really fill you up.
I was probably only eat because you can eat as
many as you want all day, any time in the day,
it doesn't matter. Probably like seven or eight potatoes towards

(01:15:22):
the end, it wasn't I was. It probably wasn't the
healthiest thing in the world. But yeah, okay, all right,
So anyway, and they now they're trying to figure out
where all the potatoes went. Three hundred and thirty thousand pounds,
Like you're not showing up in an F one fifty
and houlding that off. They so actually, the theory is.

(01:15:45):
The theory is that it turned into a viral theft,
like some dude said that there's a bunch of potatoes
in this field, nobody's there, and uh, you know, people
in the community just went and stole potatoes. In fact,
there was a by one of the neighbors that they
saw somebody and they thought it was the guy. They
saw tractors driving in there and loading potatoes in the

(01:16:07):
front loader and then driving off. So and then somebody
sold somebody else and somebody else, So like literally everyone
in town stole the potatoes.

Speaker 1 (01:16:16):
Is in Poland somewhere.

Speaker 2 (01:16:18):
But yeah, a viral theft, it was like a whether
those flight where they go and they loot the seven
to eleven. There's like forty kids there just over the
course of forty eight hours. By the way, that costs
fifteen thousand, fifteen thousand dollars for three hundred three thousand
pounds of potatoes. Just seet in case you're wondering, we

(01:16:40):
want to do some purchases. All right, it is eight eighteen.
Here on the Cacoday radio program. CBS has a new
reason why War Secretary Hagsath and President Trump want to
return to fitness and grooming standards that were the norm. Uh,

(01:17:01):
you know for most of the most of the modern military.
And uh you're not are you sitting down racism? Oh yeah,
I'll fill you in next hang on, but go ahead
and read this thing real quick.

Speaker 1 (01:17:14):
Well, I mean it's a joke, but you.

Speaker 2 (01:17:16):
No, no, no, clearly it's a joke. By the way,
if you guys don't know, today is Charlie Kirk's or
would have been Charlie Kirk's birthday.

Speaker 1 (01:17:22):
I mean it is his birthday.

Speaker 2 (01:17:23):
But and and actually I was talking to somebody yesterday
who works for a big company where they were literally
allowing they put out a memo basically saying because they
got They got businesses all over the country that employees,
if they want to wear Charlie Kirk memorial stuff, they
can and that it would not be a problem. So

(01:17:46):
that's that's good to see because usually that would go
in the other direction. But so anyway, on the birthday
of Charlie Kirk, but also on the day after the
bill is lost yesterday, somebody tweets the following right, which.

Speaker 1 (01:17:56):
Has a joke, so it says, I don't care if
I get fired. Charlie Kirk had it coming. My name
is Joe Brady and I am the offensive coordinator for
the Buffalo Bills. That's great, I ain't.

Speaker 2 (01:18:14):
I don't know why he'd confess like that on that thing.
So all right, so you know, you don't think that's him,
That's what I'm saying, don't, But it'd be a good
way to get away with it if you're some evil
piece of garbage you wanted to be like, yeah, nobody'd
be that stupid, and then you would show them.

Speaker 1 (01:18:27):
The other one hundred people just got fired. That being said,
we can't really take a chance, and they should probably
fire him.

Speaker 2 (01:18:32):
You know, more people are gonna get fired today because
Charlie being Charlie Kirk's birthday is gonna show up on
their timelines somewhere, and it's like it's the same thing,
like where people were key in Tesla's after the one
hundred story of six cameras, distinctly putting the purps face out.
The fact that you would walk up to a tesla

(01:18:55):
and damage it was astounding to me because like every
everyone knew at that point there were cameras all over
these things, even if you didn't know before. So the
Charlie Kirk thing, you saw what happened. But I don't
think they're gonna be I don't think the TDS and
just the mental rot will allow them not to respond.

(01:19:15):
So you know, gerger Loins for that today, I suspect
all right, so I mentioned, well, I'm going to do
most of the story of the next segment, and uh yeah,
own our caller went away. Dang it.

Speaker 1 (01:19:27):
Sorry.

Speaker 2 (01:19:28):
My time management's very all over the place, not just
today but every day. So CBS Sacramento ran a wonderful piece.
And it's a Sacramento veteran who owns barber shop, weighs
in on new military grooming policies, and his beef is beards.

(01:19:48):
Which is kind of weird because you own a barber shop,
bro so anything that would force people to cut their
hair more should be a good thing for you. And
he's come to the conclusion that with Seth and Trump
wanted to return to the standards, which included shaving unless
you could get an exception.

Speaker 1 (01:20:06):
But it wasn't easy. There was a conversation that this barber.

Speaker 2 (01:20:10):
In this article in Sacramento who claims that the return
to standards for grooming and fitness in the military's racist
because it forces soldiers of color to shave every day.
Correct me if I'm wrong. Military aren't all soldiers with
a few exceptions supposed to shave every day? And this

(01:20:33):
is not a new thing. And there's been black soldiers
in the US military for quite some time. Got you know,
like hag Seth and Trump are to sit around in
a room like, all right, how can we be more racist?
That's what this guy thinks, this crazy town man. Let
me grab a call here, Chris, what's up on?

Speaker 4 (01:20:52):
In case the LEO was telling Ross, just wanting to
let your listeners know that regarding Charlie Kurk's thirty second birthday,
down here, a leek County. We are having a birthday
tribute flash memorial if you will, Pam County, Yeah, eleven,
Lee County Court out, yes, sir.

Speaker 1 (01:21:10):
I'm sorry.

Speaker 4 (01:21:10):
What time?

Speaker 1 (01:21:11):
Seven pm? Six seven pm, seven pm?

Speaker 2 (01:21:14):
Okay, yeah, I've seen that there's a lot of these
going on different places, Triad Triangle and all points in
between and around there. So all right, so you're in
Lee County seven o'clock.

Speaker 1 (01:21:27):
All right?

Speaker 2 (01:21:28):
Do you think you think protesters are going to show up?

Speaker 1 (01:21:31):
Probably not Lee.

Speaker 4 (01:21:32):
It's Triff's office approved and overseas. So if we are
going through County encounter any kind of agitators, that will be.

Speaker 2 (01:21:40):
Uh yeah, yeah. I don't want them to do to
you what they're didn to Pittsburgh. Man, I don't know.

Speaker 1 (01:21:46):
I thanks for the count sir.

Speaker 2 (01:21:48):
Well, sorry, all right, so Lee County seven o'clock. I'm
sorry to cut you off there, sir, seven pm, but
the the popo will be on hand. So I I
have a guy I know who owns a business in Pittsburgh.
I think I'm mention this, but I'll mention it again
because it just it so rubbed me the wrong way.
He owns a business in Pittsburgh. I should say he

(01:22:08):
owned a business. He just closed his business a few
weeks ago, and uh, he was.

Speaker 1 (01:22:15):
I was.

Speaker 2 (01:22:16):
I literally stopped in to see him when I was
driving back from Greensboro to Raleigh here a few weeks ago,
and so we're just chatting. I'm like, I had I
did he I had not known he was closing, but
he was explaining what's going on down there, and it's
absolutely criminal, absolutely criminal.

Speaker 1 (01:22:33):
And I saw the protesters.

Speaker 2 (01:22:34):
They ross do you know you've driven through Pittsburgh where
they have the courthouse in the middle of the big
roundabout right in the middle of town there. I'm sure
you've had to go to Pittsburgh for something over the years, right,
so in that but to drive through town now you
can take the bypass around Pittsburgh, but to drive through
town there is the giant roundabout the courthouses in the middle.
Was the courthouse that had the John Edwards sex tape

(01:22:55):
in it when it caught on fire.

Speaker 1 (01:22:57):
Why that's not.

Speaker 2 (01:22:58):
More of a conspiracy out of no, But these protesters
are you know, they're coming in from Carborough Chapel Hill
and they are intentionally slow crossing back and forth, back
and forth in the traffic circle there because you know,
at each there's there's crosswalks, right, but they're basically doing

(01:23:19):
what they can to stand in the road, and it
literally people don't want to drive through there. And as
a result, if you don't drive through there, the you know,
the opportunity for you to then spend money at this
guy's business, where any of the other businesses is hampered,
and he was. He said that there were several others
that are literally getting crushed. And I think what they did,

(01:23:41):
and I don't know exactly how these work, is they
were able to get sell data so that they could see,
as people, how many people were moving through there and
also whether they were stopping or not. And the numbers
he was telling me, I don't remember off the top
of my head, so I won't quote any was devastating,

(01:24:01):
like people just were either avoiding it or they were
just getting the hell out of there. And also they
have that big housing development and most of those people
go to Apex instead of back into Pittsburgh, which that's
its own problem. But the protesters literally taking part in
running some guy out of business who's he's not doing anything,
he's just trying to make it, make it work. I

(01:24:24):
was just so bothered talking to him here a couple
of weeks ago. Uh, the only the only positive thing
out of it is he's a former police officer. Then
he did the business, and so now he's gonna he said,
he's gonna do the thing he always wanted to do,
which was to get on his motorcycle and essentially like
do the bigs, you know, do the big tour out west,

(01:24:47):
which you know, I'm being from out west, I think
would be amazing, especially on a motorcycle.

Speaker 1 (01:24:52):
There's so much to see.

Speaker 2 (01:24:54):
You're gonna have to wait because I talked to my
brother yesterday and I got like six inches of snow
out there.

Speaker 1 (01:24:59):
So oh that's how that.

Speaker 2 (01:25:01):
Goes, all right? Oh and then the guy just went away.
Dang it, all right? What was the collar going to say?
You can get a waver to not shave, right, Yeah,
that's what I mentioned. But for the most part, I
think that they're not just going to be handled those
out whereas it was pretty out of control, pretty out.

Speaker 1 (01:25:18):
Of control for a while. Uh.

Speaker 2 (01:25:26):
Minorities suffer from negative reaction to their skin by shaving air. No, no, no, yes,
I look, there is credence to the to the the
different kinds of hair where you're much more likely to
get an ingrown hair.

Speaker 1 (01:25:39):
I absolutely believe that.

Speaker 2 (01:25:41):
But to assign racial motives to it, come on, come on,
and I would assume that anyone who has constantly irritated
to the point where their faces breaking out could probably
seek one of these, regardless of their race. It's it's
the racial side of it.

Speaker 1 (01:25:58):
So that's it. If I don't.

Speaker 2 (01:26:01):
I mean, I have a beard now, but back when
I shaved, I didn't shave every day. You know, maybe
every two ros how often you shaved?

Speaker 1 (01:26:09):
Not every day?

Speaker 2 (01:26:10):
Right, when you do clean up around the beard, I'll
do that about once a week probably, But when I
didn't have a beard, maybe twice, two or three.

Speaker 1 (01:26:17):
Times a week.

Speaker 2 (01:26:19):
That was not that I didn't mind a little stubble
on there. But regardless, they're going to be cracking down
on that one other thing here. Oh yeah, this is
all right. There is one other audio cut I want
to play. Oh I do okay, all right, let me
grab the call. We'll do those in the very last segment.

(01:26:40):
Uh yeah, Mark, what's up?

Speaker 1 (01:26:42):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (01:26:43):
The primary reason why shaving in the military, so you
get the seal on a gas mask. I mean, look
at fireman. They don't have beards because they got to
put the respirators on. And you know, I think you're
going to be on the field. Yeah, yeahan mustache, but
not the beard because you're not going to get the
sealer on your chin. And if you're on the field
for it's like those guys are in Afghanistan. I mean,
you just get filthy. It's hard to stay clean. You know,

(01:27:06):
it's tough, and you know, special Forces guys. I don't
mean to be mean, but they're commuters. They go back
in the rear. They can get cleaned up kicking that beards.

Speaker 2 (01:27:14):
But yeah, reason they've they've earned it. I think everyone
accepts that. The you know that the seals run around
with beards is kind of hey, you went through the thing.
I mean, I don't know, maybe it's maybe it's a
different mindset if you're actually enlisted, but like I kind
of understand that. But to your point, and that's very
that's a very important point. The shaving thing is not
an arbitrary thing. The shaving thing is so you don't

(01:27:34):
literally get the mustard gas in the lungs, right, Yeah, yeah, came.

Speaker 4 (01:27:38):
After World War One. It was a fall on regulation
after World War one.

Speaker 2 (01:27:41):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, so all right, thanks, thank you sir.

Speaker 1 (01:27:44):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:27:44):
I kicking myself for leaving that out. I was gonna
mention that, and I think I didn't say it so
because at one point the very end of the piece,
the guy mentions that and then calls it bys So
I'm not going to play it's like five minute. Although
I will say this. CBS Sacramento has and this is this.
They are in my top ten for most annoying websites now, and.

Speaker 1 (01:28:09):
There's a lot of contenders, a lot of contenders like
here's what it does.

Speaker 2 (01:28:14):
You know when you go to it, and this happens
a lot of TV news sites where you go and
then whatever, you know, whatever story you're on, if there's video,
just auto plays the video. So what do you do, ross,
What do you do when it starts auto playing the video?
You close it right or you pause it?

Speaker 1 (01:28:28):
Yep?

Speaker 2 (01:28:29):
Yeah, then go grant you know, read whatever you're reading.
If you if you close the video which has now
popped out and is chasing you, if you close it,
it then kicks you back to the landing page, the homepage,
so you can't even read the article unless you let
the video run. Obnoxious man that's a new one. I mean, uh,

(01:28:52):
there's another site that we get a lot of stories on.
Ross hates it. I kind of hate using it, but
it's really good for audio cuts. It's called Twitchy and
uh they have put their pop ups on steroids man.
And what it is just everyone's scrambling to uh, you know,
you gotta you gotta juice those numbers. Man, you got
especially especially with the newspaper sites. Man, it's it's more

(01:29:14):
important than ever. But the problem is, and this is
what always irritated me.

Speaker 1 (01:29:18):
Is nobody like running.

Speaker 2 (01:29:21):
It's to sell more ads and to bump the numbers
so you can charge more.

Speaker 1 (01:29:24):
But like.

Speaker 2 (01:29:27):
It's buh, it's like Yellow Pages. Back in the day,
we're Yellow Pages. When they'd go to sell to a business,
they'd be like, we have one hundred percent coverage of
the of the market. Radio has, this TV has that
we have one hundred percent. And it just it irritated
me because we're we're in the marketing business. We're in
the ad sales business. That's what radio is at the

(01:29:48):
end of the day. On the commercial side, what is uh,
when was the last time you didn't immediately throw a
Yellow Pages right in the trash forever, forever. So there's
a whole one hundred percent no, no, you don't, no,
you don't. Just until a few years ago they were
saying that, all right, let's get to mister Stagic if

(01:30:09):
he's ready to rock and roll after my little Yellow
Pages rant.

Speaker 1 (01:30:12):
What's going on? Man? Not much mad?

Speaker 2 (01:30:14):
Way up to I was watching a video of the
gorilla at the San Diego Zoo. You know how people
go and they mess with the primates, right, make faces,
pretend to like, uh so they're doing that, and then
this gorilla comes flying at the glass and the glass
just shatters, man, and everyone's attitude improved immediately.

Speaker 1 (01:30:33):
I bet it did. Yeah, it's like, yeah, you know what,
maybe I won't go.

Speaker 2 (01:30:37):
Don't go the gorilla? Yeah yeah, yeah, So you know
I didn't shatter the play where I could get out,
But that I got me thinking. I think there's about
one hundred panes of glass because it's a big circular,
because I've literally boomed to the San Diego Zoo as
there's probably one hundred panes of glass around this thing.
I think ninety nine of them are the super strength
gorilla proof ones. Randomly, one of them should be prop

(01:30:58):
class from movies just to keep it.

Speaker 1 (01:31:02):
Yeah, and you know, I get it. I mean I
liked the whole zoo thing.

Speaker 7 (01:31:05):
But I mean, you know, how would you feel, right,
I'd be like I'd be trying to break out of
the glass too.

Speaker 1 (01:31:12):
Oh yeah, man, but it's crazy.

Speaker 2 (01:31:14):
Do you know the zoo story from when the animal
rights activists let all the animals out at.

Speaker 1 (01:31:18):
The zoo up in Wisconsin? No, I don't.

Speaker 2 (01:31:22):
So they went in the middle of the night, they
broke in, opened all the cages, with the exception they
didn't open like the big cat cage or the bear,
but everything out, putting the bison. Some people showed up Monday,
ninety nine percent of the animals were in their things.

Speaker 1 (01:31:37):
Still, oh that's where the food is. Yeah, well that's true.

Speaker 2 (01:31:41):
There was a bison on the loose, so I couldn't
understand how they couldn't find it. But and then some
monkeys were in some trees nearby, so okay, they had
a decison. All right, right, I guess now, But.

Speaker 1 (01:31:53):
Ye's not much.

Speaker 7 (01:31:53):
That's fine, And there's not much a little more cloud today,
especially triangle East. Still some sunshine, upper sixties, low seventies,
a little breeze tomorrow, sunshine next change to command about Thursday.
Tomorrow a little bit seventies. Lows will still be in
the fifties and Thursday a front end. Thursday Friday highs
in the mid upper sixties. Low's in the little bit forty.
So some cooler are on the way. I don't think

(01:32:14):
it rains here again until maybe late in the weekend,
and that's even a niffen.

Speaker 1 (01:32:18):
Even if it does, it won't be much.

Speaker 2 (01:32:19):
Okay, thank you, and we'll come back up with Denise Pellegrini.
Hang on Bloomberg Update now with Denise Pellegrini. Denise, what's
going on.

Speaker 6 (01:32:26):
Yeah, if you're thinking about making some home improvements, you're
kinna want to know about this. It's going to cost
you a lot more because as of today, the US
is collecting tariffs sun imported timber, lumber, kitchen cabinets, bathroom vanities,
and even upholstered furniture. This will be a twenty five
percent levy on imported cabinets, ten percent on lumber. Even so,

(01:32:50):
you still might want to go ahead and place your
order now for all this stuff because the tariffs sun
upholstered wooden products, they're going to go up again thirty
percent on January first, tariffs on kitchen cabinets and men
and he's going up to fifty percent. And all this
of course could drive the price of new homes hire
as well.

Speaker 4 (01:33:08):
When you think about.

Speaker 6 (01:33:09):
It, it's also going to be tough out there for
would be car buyers. Kelly Blue Book says the average
price for a new car in the US top fifty
thousand dollars for the first time last month. Surgeon sales
of expensive electric vehicles and luxury models and SUVs driving
the price higher. Analysts with KBB parent Cox Automotive says
the twenty thousand dollars vehicle is now mostly extinct. Edmunds

(01:33:32):
says new car buyers are now stretching the length loans
to seven years or more and the average car payment,
believe it or not, it is about seven hundred and
fifty bucks a month right now. No, yep, isn't that crazy?
And I don't know. By the time our car was
seven years old, we had two hundred thirty thousand miles
on it, So like, can you imagine still having a

(01:33:53):
seven hundred and fifty dollars payment on a car that
needs like a whole new interior.

Speaker 2 (01:33:57):
Yeah, it's because I see these videos were due with
like a twenty two credit score, go in and finance
some hellcat or some one hundred thousand dollars truck, and
it's just it's crazy because there's dealers that literally will
put the payment numbers up and then air and that's
screwing the average.

Speaker 6 (01:34:17):
So yeah, but I get it, like get I get
the draw because if you live in a small place
or you don't really love your apartment or your house,
I mean it's nice to have a nice car to
kind of spread to live in.

Speaker 1 (01:34:29):
Yeah. Absolutely, probably for it.

Speaker 6 (01:34:33):
Yeah, I got a couple of other things I want
to tell you about the protein craze coming for sugar
frosted pop tarts. Net company Kelenova offering a version of
pop tarts with higher protein ten grams of protein per serving.
Three flavors. Let's see sugar cinnamon, brown sugar cinnamon that
was always my favorite, strawberry blueberry as well. Gotta say,
though the protein doesn't mean less sugar. The new one

(01:34:54):
will still have about thirty grams of sugar per serving,
same as the old one. That's about sixty percent of
the recommended daily intake for sugar, so got to limit
yourself to two and no other sugar there. And Pepsi's
also getting in on this protein trend. It's planning for
a higher protein version of Doritos. It's got profitability on
its mind with all the you know, the weight loss

(01:35:16):
drugs and people kind of wanting to beef up their
protein and get their muscles a little.

Speaker 2 (01:35:20):
If you're trying to eat healthy, you're not eating Doritos,
that's intention.

Speaker 1 (01:35:23):
If you're not eating pop tarts exactly. It's okay. They're
both wrong.

Speaker 6 (01:35:29):
Yeah, I like, I don't like Dorito's, but I do
love pop tarts. And can we talk about sports a
little bit?

Speaker 1 (01:35:36):
Uh? Well, you picked the day, but go ahead, all right.

Speaker 6 (01:35:40):
I want to tell you why the Dodgers Brewers games
are being really closely watched, not just you know, in
Milwaukee or Los Angeles or in California, because the Major
League Baseball's entire business model is at stake. The big
question for players, management, and investors is can the low
budget team of cast offs and unknown actually beat the

(01:36:01):
amazing Dodgers, the most expensive team ever assembled with his
The Wall Street Journal calls it the three headed monster
of Sho hal Tony Mooky Bets and Freddie Freeman Journal
points out a team with the bottom ten payroll hasn't
won the World Series in twenty years. But if the
Brewers actually managed to win the best of seven series,
If the Brewers somehow do win, the Union will view

(01:36:22):
it as proof that MLB's free market model works.

Speaker 1 (01:36:25):
Right, But a Dodgers victory.

Speaker 6 (01:36:26):
Will give ammunition to the unhappy owners who claim to
deca stacked against lower budget teams like the Brewers, and
they want salary caps. So a Dodgers victory is going
to mean the push for salary caps will intensify. Of course,
the collective bargaining agreement expires next year, right, so well, get.

Speaker 2 (01:36:41):
Good, you rememberest the lowest payroll team in baseball did win.

Speaker 6 (01:36:46):
The World Series two thousand and three.

Speaker 2 (01:36:48):
Right, No, was when did Major League come out nineteen
eighty nine?

Speaker 6 (01:36:53):
Recruit it can happen, But that was a long time ago,
and so much big money, so much more big money
is in baseball now than ever. In NFL, NHL, NBA,
they all have salary caps. Right, Baseball's last holdout. So
tonight's game?

Speaker 2 (01:37:10):
All right, Hey, Denise, I got a rolling at thirty
seconds and the show's over. But I do appreciate it. Okay,
talk to you tomorrow. All right, there you go. Did
he spell a greeny? From Bloomberg News
