(00:27):
All right, good morning everybody.I'm welcome. It is six oh seven
Cacoda Radio program. Oh it's sowhat a different span. So if you
listen around this time yesterday, Imentioned to you that I like, I
woke up the other day and oneof the years was just all like blogged
(00:50):
up and I couldn't hear anything.And when you put headphones on you really
notice that and it is wildly distracting. So yesterday the whole show, I'm
like, I got left channel,no right channel. It's just the worst.
But then yesterday after the show ableto get that handled and uh,
(01:15):
it's like, dude, that momentwhen all of a sudden you can hear
out of an ear again, it'sdeeply satisfying. So I literally I cured
my own partial deafness. Ross onemore miracle and it's sainthood. So watch
out. I'm just saying I'll havejewelry statues, painting. Yeah. Well,
(01:38):
actually, as we learned in thein the on the Christmas classic Fred
Claus, once you become a saint, you're frozen in time. You your
family and your spouse. I'm notI'm not married, so you're like a
vampire. But you can go outin the sun. You know, Lot's
wife was frozen forever she was.Yeah, I think that was different though,
(01:59):
right, well, arguably, likeif you're getting into the uh,
you know, the religious side ofthings. Feasibly everybody lives forever, if
you know what I mean. Yeah, I mean here on earth, so
congracts. Buddy, you're never leaving. You better hold back in that one
miracle unless you would be here forever. Everything is getting better. I don't
know if you've noticed. So,ah, well they have turf for the
(02:23):
rest of my life forever, becausecan you imagine having to watch the Vikings
lose for all of eternity? Well, I just assumed that's what I was
siting up for anyway, So I'mnot ago. That's the personally, that's
why I hold off on the miracles. Is that what? Because I can't
stand to have this switch pain forever? So if not, if not for
(02:44):
that, you would be like youprobably up to five or so? Easy?
Oh easy? Yeah, I don'tknow. If I don't know if
you alleging that your your breadstick basketis if you can't go the whole hey,
look you keep recurring. I thinkthe waiters just getting you more.
(03:05):
Do you know what I'm saying,You're not really I mean, I'm not
gonna Lie'm not sure how it works. You know, they're not endless in
the sense that you've done something.I think that you just have it astute
servers. Can we agree it feelslike a miracle though, Oh absolutely,
man, Oh yeah, when you'rehere you feel like a saint. So
there you go. Ah, yeah, no, it was. It's so
deeply satisfying. So it puts mein a great mood. And so I
(03:30):
look at the news because, uh, you know, in retrospect, I
don't know if things are getting better. Man, I don't know if they're
getting better at all. A proIsraeli supporter was beat to death with a
megaphone yesterday, and uh, California. I'm not sure the totality of the
(03:51):
information yet. I'm going by witnessstatements report here for the New York Post,
and you know, please doing theinvestigative thing. But basically, basically,
a sixty nine year old Jewish mandies after getting into an altercation with
pro Palestinian protesters. This is whatVentura County, so north of LA and
(04:17):
you have people on the scene sayingthat he was struck in the head with
a megaphone, and I, I, you know, judge from what I'm
reading in the story, I don'tknow if he went hands on. I
don't know if they were just screamingand somebody, well, I don't know.
There's not a crap ton of information. Here's the story. A sixty
(04:38):
nine year old Jewish man died afterfalling and hitting his head during an altercation.
Now the reason I bring up themegaphone thing is, according to the
New York Times report, the guysPaul Kessler, by the way, is
a dude's name. According to theNew York Times, Kessler was struck in
(05:00):
the head prior to being knocked over. And then they're they're quoting deputies on
this. However, they didn't confirmor deny what led to the fall.
The Jewish Federation of Greater la ina statement so that Kessler was here with
the megaphone. But I didn't mentionthat assertion Monday, So our authorities didn't,
(05:21):
just the deputies who spoke to LaTimes. So you know, take
take all of that for what it'sworth. It's single sourced. At this
point. Kessler was a counter protesterto a pro Palestinian demonstration. You know,
I saw a woman get get laidout in New York yesterday too.
(05:45):
There was video of that. Shewas confronting a woman who I think two
women actually, but only one wentphysical, confronting a woman who was tearing
down the posters, and the womanshoved her to the ground. And it's
just crazy. Man. Footage culatingon social media of the incident shows a
man lying on the ground with ahead injury as two people, including the
(06:06):
two people who are leaned over.One of them is wearing a jacket that
says Free Palestine, who actually cameto his aid. According to family,
it was the second rally that Kesslerhas attendance since October seventh. So again,
I don't know all the details.I just know dude died. He
(06:29):
got a couple people saying that hewas hit with a megaphone, then he
went down. I don't know ifit was the megaphone strike or him hitting
the ground or what. But youknow, like I said, things getting
better man, as society melts down. So there you go. That's how
we're going to start the show today. But we got lots to get to.
(06:58):
Let's operate under the assumption that andand I'm I'm pretty confident that those
documents are real based on statements bylaw enforcement, what the what the mayor
of Nashville is doing, what theMSNBC d bags are saying. I'm I'm
going to assume those are real,and then we'll go over all the reasons
(07:20):
and all the statements from everybody.But I gotta be honest with you,
man, I I speculated on whatsome of the manifesto, or at least,
you know, the the incoherent ramblingas it's been described, although I
(07:40):
don't know how incoherent in the sensethat, like I'm able to understand everything
on there. I don't know thatI thought that the Nashville Christian School shooters,
and it's not all of it,it's you know, it's three photographs
(08:01):
encompassing six or seven pages. Somehow, that's worse than I thought it was
going to be. Did anybody havethat reaction yesterday? Did you look at
that and go And it's worse ina number of ways. Right, It's
worse in the sense that it's soon the nose, but also it's worse
(08:24):
in the sense that dozens of peopleknew what was in there, right,
investigators, politicians, lawyers, family, family apparently of some of the victims
they knew what was in there,and excluding the family, all right,
because I again, those are thoseare individuals suffering from grief, but from
(08:48):
a lawmaker perspective, from a youknow, chief of police perspective, from
a mayor's perspective. When I seewhat they didn't want you to see,
I was absolutely enraged reading that yesterday, especially when you compare and contrast that
(09:13):
with a pick An incident. Allright, what was the one where we
had like there was a manifesto ina statement from the parents in like two
minutes that was Florida, right,something that Florida right? Yeah, I
think that's what it was. Andpeople were going, well, what the
hell's going on? Why do wenot know what's up here? And a
(09:35):
lot of people thought it was,you know, it was purely motivated by
trans ideology, abudding Christian ideology,right. I think that was kind of
best guest there. It's so muchworse than that. It's so much worse
in how you apply the words thatyou're seeing there and the attitudes to what
(10:00):
is damn near mandatory training in corporateand you know, in corporate environments.
In school environments is championed by electedofficials all the way up the food chain
to the president. When you seeit manifested there and when you see it
written there, and it's so angerinducing because you realize, or at least
(10:28):
you can speculate what it is youbelieve they're trying to protect. They're looking
at woke ideology and critical race theorytraining, which I'm sorry, I don't
know how you don't believe that thatwas an influence in the mindset according to
(10:50):
what we read there, right,And these are the things that we look
for, Right, These are thethe you know, you get some information
out there, they're like, well, they googled this where you know,
this person said this this one time, or this person put a post on
social media that was a repost ofthis individual. Right, and then we
go we go down all of theseroads where it's like, oh, well,
(11:13):
obviously what prompted this person to dowhat they did was they listened to
uh, they listened to a GlennBeck podcast, right, or some you
know, some along those lines.And you have to do these contortions to
be able to make that connection there, right, you're making a lead This
stuff's written down, man, Thisstuff is written down and is wholly within
(11:39):
the language that a lot of peoplefind concerning, because as much as you
want to separate, it's not abouthating whites, it's about hating you know,
white ideology or think about the nuancesthat you've seen there. This is
gruesomely on and so it makes itmakes everything more horrific when you realize what
(12:07):
is probably the reason why they didn'twant you to see this. It's just
evil, man, It's evil nowcompounding evil. I don't know what to
say. We'll get into some ofthe details there and some of the spin
Like you got lay, you gotone of these lawyers who is you know,
was fining to keep this stuff outof there. You got MSNBC idiots
(12:31):
putting their best spin on it.Just absolutely blew up yesterday, just absolutely
blew up. And uh, Ithink that's uh, I think that's where
we're going to start. Plus wegot you know, we got moonbats doing
moon bats. It's going to bea busy morning and it's Tuesday, so
uh, you know, we gota lot of time to go and we
(12:54):
also got to talk election stuff.So let me do this. Uh,
let's take a break. We'll comeback here in just a few kc O
Day Radio program. This is oneO six one FM Talk in the Triangle
and News Talk ninety four to wPTI and the Triad. All right,
welcome back. It is six twentyfive here on the KCO Day Radio program.
(13:22):
We got a record. We gotourselves a record. Not a good
one, but we got one.Yes, that's right. I was greeted
with this very exciting news yesterday,according to police in Greensboro, following several
(13:46):
fatal shootings in recent days. Manthe news Greensboro Paper's website, news Record
has more pop ups. Now,it's just crazy, all right. Following
several fatal shootings in recent days,the city of Durham is I guess they're
probably not proud to announce that theyhave shattered the record number of homicides in
(14:11):
a single year. Yes, that'sright. The previous record from twenty twenty,
so not that long ago, wassixty one. However, I want
to say they revised that to sixtytwo, which and like just a few
back this summer, so that wasweird adjusting three years later. So,
(14:33):
but but sixty two was the number. Well, now the city of Greensboro
officially lists sixty five following the insanitythat we've had over the last week.
So and we yet two months togo. Man, we got two months
(14:54):
to go. I mean it justshows right, there's no limits. No,
it feels like home run record yyeah, little though right, Oh
you think it's like so Si McGuire. No, I'm not implying that they're
juicing the numbers. I don't knowhow you would do that, but but
you remember, you remember when theyfinally did break the record though, I
(15:16):
mean, it just got stupid withthe numbers because you have maguire do it
first, and it was closed andthen Bonds just laid waste to it,
especially when you see like the yearsand decades before it where those records weren't
smashed, and suddenly it's just likeevery other ball is going out of the
park. Yeah, well they hita lot. There's a they hit a
lot over the over the fence thisthis year. Yeah, the record of
(15:41):
sixty two is no more sixty fivethe current standing and two months ago.
So I don't know, maybe maybewe could figure out why that is best
show after the show is on theiHeartRadio app search case o day for the
podcast on the iHeart Radio app.All right, good morning everybody, and
(16:04):
welcome back. It is six thirtyfive. I'm not going to rapid fire
the entire list, so you know, hopefully, hopefully you did some checking,
did some checking. A lot ofcities, a lot of municipalities have
elections today, some don't. Somedo even more random stuff which is totally
(16:30):
not at all about protecting incumbents.But you know, depending on where you're
listening this morning, you might youmight have an election. And when I
you know, we're talking to municipals. So we've got mayors, we've got
city council members, some school boardstuff, depending on where you are,
(16:52):
perhaps some issues. Let's see here. Yeah, if you go to ends
sbe dot gov, that's the Boardof Elections website. There is a little
fun map where you can click andyou can determine what's up in your particular
county. I guess if you don'tknow. Yeah. Also, I'm looking
(17:15):
at Guildford right now, and forsides it's clicked over to Wake. You
got about thirteen different municipalities. Allright, so here's the deal there.
Ross loves this. If you areon a ballot today, Okay, if
(17:38):
you're on a ballot today and youwant to say hey to the peeps,
and you reside in one of ourofficial broadcast counties, all right, so
you know, don't if you're listeningon iHeartRadio app in Tennessee, this is
(17:59):
not for you, okay, andyou live there. But if you are
a candidate on the ballot today andyou just want to say hey on the
radio, it's a couple of minutes. You are welcome to call the show.
Ross will vet you and through Idon't know, psychic abilities or whatever.
(18:19):
He's got a system. He willvet you and we can do that.
All right. This is normally isthis how we do it. Every
year people blast me with the emails, Hey, let's get some skit.
I just don't do that because there'sway too many folks out there. There's
way to be It would be weeksof that show if we scheduled everybody.
(18:41):
But this is the opportunity we provide, okay, eight eight eight nine three
four seven eight seven four, especiallyin municipal elections, just due to the
fact that you know, such atiny percentage generally of our audience is actually
eligible in that we just we don'toverwhelm with it. But today is the
(19:03):
day for municipal elections, and there'sa lot of them going on. So
do you guys have stuff up inWake Force? They're ross, probably probably
doesn't do anything. But I don'tsee wake for Oh wait, hold,
yeah, here it is Wake ForestBoard of Commissioners. I do not see.
Do not see a soil and waterrace. So I guess you're not
(19:26):
on the ballot, or I guessyou're always on the ballot because you don't
officially file. And then people,right, yeah, this country wasn't founded
on PaperWorks, so I can't godown that path. I said, just
take your ballot, take a sharpieand big black sharpie right across the ballot
hayes for sheriff, and give itto the person the machine. They'll know
what that means, will they,And if they don't, just calm a
mule. Don't waste your vote,people don't. We don't use it for
(19:51):
use it for good. Look atall the stuff going on around you right
now, you've got these You gotto these idiot elected officials over there in
Nashville. Oh, we can't releasewe can't release this. It's you remember
how they described it They described itas a blueprint that could be utilized by
others to commit crimes. Did yousee a blueprint in there? I don't
see a blueprint. Here's what Isaw. I saw. I saw a
(20:12):
person go, Hey, here's whatyou do. You get some guns,
get some anger, and go toa school, right, And I don't
know that you need to map thatout. I'm sorry, Well, we're
gonna I think we all knew itwas going to be in it, Like
it's it's not like you it wouldbe so blatant. Yeah, I did.
Like I'm not like, I'm sortof like the Kirk shock face,
like, oh, like I can'tbelieve that was in it. Of course
(20:33):
that was in it. So they'renot releasing it because it goes against all
of their narratives. Yeah, yourwhite privilege, white privilege, critical race
theory, all this stuff. Itgoes again. That's why it's so bad.
It's like a robber stack unsolved mysteries. You know, you don't don't
need to roll them out in theuh in the trench coat there with the
scary music, wondering what's going onhere? We all know what's going on.
(20:55):
Anybody with the brain knows what's goingon here? And what what what
makes it so much worse is becauseit was so blatant, you then see
the motivation for why they didn't wantto release, right, because you know,
some people speculated they didn't want torelease so that they could core focus
on guns, which they did,which they absolutely did. Do you remember
that idiot Nebraska Congress assembly member orwhatever just scream at trans rights, trans
(21:18):
people's rights, all that. Butyou had people that were showing out for
this and admittedly I don't know thatshe had information about what was in there,
but she was able to operate andand and and and carry through that
lunacy because it was an open book, right because you didn't know what was
in there. But then you startlooking at this stuff and you start reading
(21:38):
it, and you're just like,this is everything that people are forcibly being
taught. This is this is thisis the this is the inability of individuals
who are who are force fed thisinformation, have it beaten into their head
to make the discernment that lawmaker's claimis being made there, and the moment
(22:06):
it comes out there, you gotpolice issue a statement these are not official
crime scene photos, which is theabsolute most enraging spin right because idiots read
down and go, oh, they'resaying it's not true, and then they
try to community notes it on Twitter. That's not what they said. They
said, these are not official crimescene photos. If you look at the
photos, you can literally see asquad car in the background. What you
(22:30):
have is you have somebody who hadaccess to this that went, I can't
believe they're not going to put thisout and took photos of it. So
like, if you listen to whatthey actually said, they weren't pushing back
on this being real. MSNBC outthere and their way of covering it is
not to address what's in there,but rather to go, you know,
(22:52):
our sources who've seen it all saythat this is out of context because if
you read if you had access toeverything, the shooter hated everybody, Well,
what the hell does that mean?So you're going to ignore the other
stuff because you say there's more andthey have there's other groups I don't like.
(23:17):
You know, the fact is,if you look at the words in
that one where it's like, ah, I hate white, privileged, cracker,
religious folks, blah blah blah,I feel like that's probably pertinent considering
the shooter went to a Christian school. You have lawyers who have been fighting
to keep this out of the handsof the general public sitting down and losing
(23:41):
their damn minds. Listen to this. And lastly, I want to speak
directly to the person who took theseimages and released them. You are a
viper, you're a member of thelaw enforcement community, and you have released
evidence has gathered in our most vulnerablemoment. You have now allowed this woman
(24:07):
who terrorized our family with bullets tobe able to now terrorize us with words
from the grave. How could yeahkind of a person does this? What
kind of a person does this?Okay? And this is not me being
insensitive to the family. Under thelaw in Tennessee, the family members are
(24:33):
not the crime are not crime victimsaccording to the Sunlight laws. There for
the Sunshine laws, which are youknow, access to various pieces of information,
they don't have standing to block in. This is why all of this
has been so absurd, because thepolice said they were going to release it,
then they said they can't release itbecause it's part of ongoing court battle.
(24:55):
Except the court battle in question ismedia outlets suing for release. And
then you had, you had variousother folks who stepped forward and said,
are we going to do this?And then all of a sudden claimed that
they didn't have to for reasons thatthey it doesn't pass the smell test.
And people also want to know whatmotivates an individual to do this, because
(25:19):
this is the great discussion and debateright now. Well, we see these
stories, these horrific stories, wewant to know what's going on there.
Was it a mental health thing?Did the gun make them do it because
somehow it has its own personality?Right? Or pharmaceuticals right, That's another
discussion that people have, but theywant to understand it. They want to
(25:40):
better understand it because if you're likeme and you believe that mental health is
a component with so many of thesethings, forget just the pharmaceutical angle.
I want to understand what was goingthrough that individual's head to the best extent
possible. And journal after journal seemslike a pretty good start. And this
(26:04):
guy's demon demonizing the member of lawenforcement, and they've got a whole investigation,
the chief, the mayor, let'sdo an investigation. They're going to
look harder for this than they didfor I don't know into the bidens.
I mean, just just wait forthis thing is getting real stupid, real
(26:26):
quick smart talk all day, wPTI in the triad and FM talk in
the triangle. All right, Asas mentioned, many many many municipalities in
North Carolina, election day today,So you need ID. I know that
(26:49):
nobody has any according to what Iwas told by opponents of voter ID.
So hopefully got that worked out oryou all had it, because that's what
normal people do. But regardless,just keep that in mind. So depending
on where you are, and youcan go to the Board of Board of
Elections website. I got a handymap. It's listed there, and I
(27:11):
would encourage you to get out there. You know, I don't mind necessarily
grouping municipal elections away from general stuff. That's fine, but you know,
there's a certain sneaky nature to someof the other municipalities that aren't doing it
today and then have like their owndays because you know, it's a lot
(27:33):
easier due to the low voter turnout, you tend to get away from presidential
elections. So your vote count.It's the state. Your vote counts now
more than ever. So I you'vegot that going on. Great and we're
doing our thing where if you areone of the folks on the ballot today
and you're you know, in thetriad or triangle or so surrounding areas where
(27:56):
is our broadcast markets, then you'rewelcome to call the show and say hello
eight eight eight nine three four seveneight seven four Russell check to make sure
it's you, and then we'll dothis thing. And that's just kind of
an undercurrent throughout the show. Wegot lots to get to, but let's
grab our first candidate, Jeffrey Hogland, Chapel Hill Town Council. How you
(28:21):
doing, sir, I'm doing alit today, So talk to me.
Talk to me specifically about chap Letme ask you a question about Chapel Hill
that I found pretty incredible. Actually, every year I wait for that Halloween
story where they're like, nobody cometo Chapel Hill and the streets are insane,
and it was remarkably different this year. And I think that's kind of
(28:44):
track in another what some other citiesare dealing with, where people are not
flooding to the various downtown areas.So is the economic norm which is apparently
being deviated from Is that a bigtopic for Canada or what's on the mind
of Chapel Hill voters most of theright now, a lot of them are
(29:04):
on like housing is what most ofthem are pushing for, right But I'm
the odd one out pushing more forsafety and for Dick and opposite to downtown
because most of the people I knowlive and work there in the downtown area.
And actually for Halloween, they haven'tclosed down the street the last three
years. Yeah, No, theydidn't close down this year. They said
they were, but they didn't.Well we you know, we were dealing
(29:26):
with COVID stuff so to some extent. But this year, honestly, I
thought it was going to be backat it and it wasn't. So I
guess that was just Yeah, theyplanned to do it from eight to nine
thirty and they just never closed itdown. Wow. And it was very
disappointed to what the business is there. They they were expecting a slight increase
of income be they usually bring thema lot of money the Halloween thing.
Sure, absolutely, man, Andyou know one of you talked about safety.
(29:49):
One of the stories that we coveredhere on the show was this guy
who went to UNC to the sandwichshop there and brandished a weapon. We
found out that a week prior you'vebeen down the hill at a gas station
done the same thing, and alot of people were wondering, the hell's
going on over there? Where aguy does this, gets released right away,
does it a week later and nobodybats an eye. So how what
(30:12):
are the conversations with voters about safety? How interested are they in stories like
that not being a thing? Again? A lot of them want it,
But I mean that happens a lotin Chapel Hill, where they've constantly repressed
stories of unsafe things going on,like fissures that are There's been thousands of
(30:33):
car breakings in Chapel Hill that theyjust don't really report on. There's been
different robbings and things like that,and a few murders and stabbings. And
they just found another body like twoweeks ago, just off of Franklin Street.
Oh wonderful. Okay, well youknow what, I admittedly I didn't
even remember seeing that. So butlook overall Chapel Hill, I think if
you ask people getting away from youknow, the old Jesse Hilms comments about
(30:56):
put a fence around a call atthe zoo. But remarkably, you know,
when you talk about Chapel Hill.Safety issues are not really what people
are bringing up, right, People, if you go to Chapel Hill,
you generally, at least in myexperience, you felt safe going there at
least, And I guess unless peoplestarted yelling about some political thing. That's
(31:17):
not the case in many many placesin North Carolina right now. So I
guess what are your chances of gettingon because Chapel Hill seems like a good
old boys and girls club and probablydoesn't like people upsetting the apple carts.
So do you have relationships with anyof the current elected officials? No,
I don't have any relationship with anyof them. But this year is they're
(31:38):
also kind of weird with Chapel Hillbecause they've split into two different groups that
are just kind of going at eachother. Yeah, and expand on that.
So what do you mean by that? Two different groups going at it?
So there's one group that wants todo identification without any restriction, another
one wants to try to do moreprotecting like land and parks and stuff.
(32:02):
So that's how those two groups havesplit this year. What Okay, Well,
I I don't know what the turnoutis going to be there, obviously,
I'm just kind of staring at someof the election information. This is
uh, it's a this is arunoff, this is town council. D
just don't want to make sure thatI'm accurate here so when people show up,
(32:23):
correct, this is the original.No, this is the main right
now today. A. Sorry,I'm working one of them. I'm working.
Well, yeah, well no,if one of the mayors, if
one of the mayor can win,there will be a runoff after that.
Ah, gotcha, gotcha. Okay, I'm not sure exactly how that rule
(32:44):
is going to work. All right, Well, get out there and uh
and vote. Jeffrey Hoagland, thanksfor calling in this morning. Okay,
all right, thank you. Allright, there we go. So I
know had a murder there. Yeah, I just remember being I like,
because I saw that, you know, COVID obviously was going to throw a
wrench in the Halloween. But there'syou know that one story every year it's
(33:05):
like, don't come to Chapel Hill, and then this year they're like,
nobody came to Chapel Hill, sowe didn't have to shut anything off.
I don't I don't know if it'sso like mass paranoia or everyone got canceled
for their costumes. I don't know, Man was craziness. I got a
question. So I'm looking at thesethese idiot just stop oil people, you
know, not content just to throwsoup and glue themselves to the frames of
(33:32):
paintings. Now, keep in mindthe paintings themselves have protection over them.
They got glass and obviously pretty strongstuff. However, what happened the other
day, man poses a real andI don't know what the full fallout as
he is poses a real threat toin this case, a ninety million dollar
(33:57):
painting. And I got some fashSo we're gonna have to get into those
plus candidate calls. And were yousurprised by the manifesto? Is that exactly
what you thought you'd see on?All right, Good morning everybody, and
welcome is seven out of seven?Did do ca COKA Radio program? Welcome
(34:25):
our number two A reminder it isTuesday, November seventh, and across the
state of North Carolina, multiple municipalities, I should say a lot of municipalities.
The list is pretty extensive here findthemselves with municipal elections. So maybe
(34:46):
a city council race could be amirror race like City of Durham has a
mayoral race. Let's see here,let me go to one of the rural
counties. Let me go to likeRandolph, right, Okay, yeah,
so like Ashborough's got a bunch,high Point has, uh has quite a
few. So I would encourage youif you're not one hundred percent sure what's
(35:08):
up, swing by the Board ofEds or the Board of Eds Board of
Elections website which is nc SPE dotgov. We just google it, that'll
come up and uh check it outand uh if it's you, they'll make
the time today. Man, theseare the kinds of elections where just a
(35:29):
few people can swing stuff. Andlord knows, at the municipal level,
we got buckets of insanity, whichwe spend, you know, every day.
It seems like we got something likehow is that person in any way
in a position where they should beleading anything like. So if if at
(35:52):
any point this year you're like,ah, this person who represents you know
where I live is a lunatic,then this is your opportunity if they're running,
to go do something about it.Okay, And with that in mind,
if you are a candidate for oneof these municipal elections in either the
triad or triangle where we broadcast andyou want to say hey on the radio,
(36:16):
this is what we do because ifnot, then at Ross said emails
all the candidates. It's a nightmare, and we just don't do that.
So this is the equal opportunity thatwe are providing. So if you call,
he'll Rosse, will do a littlemaking sure it's you, and then
then we'll chat. Okay, allright, cool, cool, that's going
(36:36):
on while we hit on a widevariety of different stories. The number again
eight eight eight nine three four seveneight seven four. I have a question.
So you know, in the criminaljustice system, when you get into
like you know, burglary, theft, assault, there's a lot of crimes
(36:57):
out there that have a a breakingpoint where they transcend misdemeanor and move on
to felony. So, like youknow, theft is a good example,
especially because you saw what California did, right. So it used to be
if you went in and you shopliftedand it it I think it was five
hundred at the time. If itwas under five hundred, you could you
(37:23):
could be in misdemeanor land, withsome exceptions based on previous convictions. But
and then once it got over thatnow you're into the felony land right well,
California, if you remember, theyadjusted upward that number to what was
like seven fifteen I think it's upto a thousand in some places, which
(37:43):
was absolutely focused on not giving acrap or doing anything. And then obviously
you saw what happened right people wouldgo. You had there was people,
there were videos of people shoplifting whowere doing the math. They were doing
the math on what they were stealing. So I point this out because then
(38:04):
once you get into that felony level, there's not a super felony. So
I saw this story yesterday where yougot these stop oil moonbats. Once again,
they're in a in a art gallery, although they went a little different
rather than bringing soup or you know, coming out and uh and gluing themselves
(38:25):
to the frame. Keeping in mindthat the photos tend to have this glass,
this protective layer over the front ofit. On the video you see
them in their cute little T shirtsbanging away with hammers. It is time
(38:46):
to once, it is time tojust so oil it. Politics is famous
politics. So your team four teamminions will die due to if we don't
(39:07):
history, if we do and ifwe do family were oil to try to
place the accent. That dude soundScottish right The second one, I don't
know. Man a hard time,no offense to our our wonderful UK listeners,
(39:27):
you know, I'm sure both ofthem. I just have a hard
time taking that dude seriously because Istarted and then I have like this fat
bastard visions with the accent there.But the reality is they smash up that
glass. I don't know from adamage perspective, but I do know that
that painting is valued at ninety milliondollars. This is the London Art Gallery
there the painting which goes back towas it sixteen fifty one? There you
(39:53):
go, which it's it's basically anaked chick with a sheet over her staring
at a cupid So is that theirbeef because it doesn't look like she's doing
anything that requires fossil fuels. Andif women want to lay around scantly clad,
you know, go ahead. Idon't. But how do you deal
(40:15):
with somebody who let's I again,let's say the paintings destroyed. It doesn't
appear to be. I don't know, but let's say that they figure out
a way to get in there,maybe they get some some one of those
hammers used to break windows. Idon't want to give these idiots any ideas.
How do you even begin to dealwith one of these idiots who's,
(40:37):
let's face it, none of thatNobody in the Just Stop Oil group is
ever going to have ninety million dollars. Okay, they're not nobody. Maybe
they want a lottery at some point, but they're not going to and most
people aren't. But really, reallythis group, nobody in that group appears
(40:59):
to have the aspirations to go outand conquer the world of business. What
do you do to somebody who destroysa ninety million dollar painting, because you're
obviously you've already jumped into the feloniouslevel, but there's no cap on that.
How do you begin to punish somebodywho destroys an object that's worth ninety
(41:19):
million dollars but you're gonna make himsell his bons? I mean what,
they'll never replace it. And Idon't excuse me, but I don't trust
the authorities in London to even,you know fully, from a criminal justice
perspective, do anything about it.How do you begin to deal with a
ninety million dollar destruction. And Idon't know the answer to that, but
(41:44):
I they keep making their way inthere, the hammers and their soup and
everything, and go off in theirlittle diatribes Roquevy Venus from sixteen fifty one
in the London National Gallery. AndI haven't seen a follow up on potential
damage there. All right, letme grab a phone call, Oh,
(42:06):
Jamal, what's going on? Jamal? To quote Sheriff Grady, you shoot
them, You shoot them full ofholes and make them look right, grated
cheese. That's how you stop that. But Jasey, they don't even most
of the officers in London don't carryguns. And I, admittedly I don't
know if I'm on team shoot peopleover an even a ninety million dollars painting.
(42:31):
So when it comes to this aboutthe thing I was talking called about
Nashville, when you play that story, I'm like, yeah, these people
got to be shot. I'm serious, because no one respects this property.
If people have right to bed,right to defend the property. But when
it comes to that thing, weknew, Casey, if you ever want
(42:52):
to play this, Cleo Music calledit just to be clear manifest Okay,
So I just want everyone to knowwhere we're going, So go right ahead.
Yeah, okay, you called itthat day on the show You and
Ross was talking about it when ithappened. He was like, why haven't
they released a mano for you?And Ross lost out the head of Miss
(43:13):
Koleo music playing in the background.Then I called it in and said the
same thing that manifesto. Show allthe anti white racism that is out here,
how they have allowed it to festerin schools, how they have made
white scenes like it is the devil, it is evil being white, you
are evil, and things like that, to the point to where this transgender
(43:37):
already confused because she didn't know whenshe say, like me, how I
like who I am? But youcan't like who you are yourself. Okay.
So she's a girl who's trying topass her life as a boy and
they wouldn't accept her. She wasgoing to a Christal school. They probably
said no. She got this notebookcasey all killing kids, killing white people,
(43:59):
and that's what it said. Thisthing was horrific, and they chapped
it. But if as soon assoon as the black folk got shot down
in Jacksonville, oh you released themanifesto, why because they didn't release it,
and the people in Nashville in thelegislation in Nashville that sheriff needs to
be punished. I mean to excuseme, that police chief needs to be
(44:21):
punished, and that man needs tobe punished because simple a plane. They
read it, they saw it,and they didn't fit the narrative they wanted
to they fit. You had thoseidiots down there in the Tennessee that those
legislation, Oh, it's this guns. We're being racially striding in of this
because you're throwing us out because wetried to do it, and so wrection
(44:43):
here in Tennessee. Oh, y'alltrying to target black people. Well,
if we actually knew this manifesto,they wanted to took the hind point out
there like that because because the peoplecould have said, well, you contributed
to the anti white racism. You'relying this people calling you out one hundred
that's a hundred, one hundred thousandpercent. And it's just it's another crack
(45:05):
in the do uh you know thisdual system becoming incredibly apparent to people where
uh, you know, we havetwo criminal justice systems and we also have
the willingness to manipulate through positions ofpower to protect ideological uh you know,
uh priorities in this case CRT anduh and all of that. And I
(45:29):
just again, I thought it wouldbe more nuanced. Uh it was not
nuanced. And if this one guyis saying, well, you have to
see all of it because they hatea lot more people than just that,
fine, put it all out there. I want to know everything there is
to know, man, And tome Ksey. Now they say they need
to respect to victims of a quid. Let me tell you something. We
(45:51):
live in an age. Well allyou've got to do the victim of a
quan they are not They're not legally, but they're not legally. I just
in as callous as this sounds,because I still I feel for the families.
Under the law, they are notvictims of the crime. As far
as having standing to protect this particularpiece of evidence, they do not have
(46:13):
that standing under Tennessee law. Ihaven't seen anyone even dispute that. So
I just want to be very clear. They are not quote crime victims under
the under the way that the lawreads as it pertains to the release and
non release of information. So takingit and do you remember Casey Deah real
quick? Do you remember they triedthey got mad at the police officers were
(46:36):
responding and shooting her and saying theyshot her like that because she was transgender,
they were bigger. Do you rememberthey actually said that too? In
this the NBC wanted do they respondon her so oddly because she was transgender?
Why did they have been sure?Here? Look like they shot her
while she was down. They actuallytried to turn her indeed, mad Democrat
(46:59):
lawman makers instead of saying it wassix victims seven and said she was a
victim, and she was a victimand she was murdered to like she did
something white. The anti white racismis real and the only people that can
stop it, I hate to sayit, case White people gonna have to
look in the mirror and say,is it worth our kids dying? Is
(47:22):
it worth us dying? Now?As a black man, No, it
ain't worth your dying. But thatI say, as much as I can,
I speak out as much as Ican when I see racism coming from
my community or any other community ofcolor. That will get people in trouble
because you know, they say ifyou're black and you you know, people
can't say nothing against you, butCasey was just evil. I meant,
(47:43):
at the at the most adult level, it should prompt people to consider if
running these you know, these whitefragility seminars and the CRT training uh,
if that messaging is what they is, what they wanted to be because of
the way that some people interpret it, that's the most sane way to say
(48:04):
it. I obviously I feel there'sa lot going on there, but they
didn't even want to have that conversation. And thanks for the call there,
Jamal. And just just to beclear, by the way, whether it
is the shooter in Jacksonville, theguy who went into that grocery store up
in Buffalo, New York, orthis Christian school shooter, if the police
want to Swiss cheese them after they'veshot a bunch of people, I'm cool
(48:28):
with that. I'm good man,right. The only caveat should be you're
in the commission of a crime.You're a danger. It's to people,
the law enforcement, but also thepeople around there. You've already decided to
start shooting people, you know,load them up, man, don't care.
I am one hundred percent with that. But what this tells me is
(48:52):
these particular lawmakers. They don't wantto have a conversation about this. They
don't want to revisit whether it's agood idea. Who sit there and bang
into kids' heads that if they're white, they have white privilege and they're horrible
and they're inherently racist, and theydon't want to have it as evidence.
By the fact that they saw this, and if they are older than six,
(49:15):
they realized that at the very leastit should spur a conversation, and
they went, no, we're notgoing to do that. Let's not even
put that out there. And nowthey're witch hunting whoever threw it out there.
So those are not folks who wantto, you know, have a
discussion or negotiate, because right anytimethey've decided, they're going to go and
say, well, obviously the guns, you know, the guns at fault
(49:37):
here. They want to have abig national quote unquote discussion what can we
do how, you know, howcan we do better? And they want
to look like the adults in theroom, and those are those are the
same folks who who hid Those arethe same folks who hid their you know,
hit a report card so their parentsdidn't see it. Even though you
know the parents know when the whenthe report card's coming through and little kids
(50:00):
scheme will never work. That's whathappened. How do you have a conversation
with with with those individuals? Youcan't. Whether it's the chief of police,
the mayor, or any of thesefolks out there deciding that it's more
important to get to the bottom ofwho released this than why that individual shot
up that school. I don't knowthat people can have an adult discussion with
(50:22):
you, as evidenced by your yoursneakiness, your willingness to obpuskate and now
act outraged. I can't take anyof you seriously. All right, it
is seven to twenty three, lotsto get to and we'll do it coming
up. Hang on your day Smarterone six one FM Talk and News Talk
(50:45):
ninety four five w PTI more withCase starts now. All right, good
morning, it is seven thirty fiveKoka Radio. What does somebody up said
it before? If you don't likehow I say the word rule, well
too bad. The whole pronunciation guyis don't care now the personal I'm busy
(51:16):
memorizing other stuff like, oh,I don't know the whole series and chain
of events that really might be partof an actual adult, larger discussion with
the Covington shooter, Like because somebodysent me an email and I understand what
you're saying, right, does didan nobody thought that the Covington shooter did
(51:42):
it because you know, maga extremist, all right? Well, I don't
know. Maybe somebody thought that,but most people assumed it had to do
with, you know, gender identity, trans identity perhaps not receiving the because
of the religious aspect of the schooland how that individual's choices don't necessarily comport
(52:07):
obviously with Christianity as it is taughtin most instances instances, although there are
some churches that have some interesting interpretations. So I don't know that that was
surprising. But here's what I meanby this. There are a lot of
folks, and not just laymen suchas myself, but a lot of people
within the medical field that aren't necessarilyon board with the transition that was made
(52:35):
in gender dysphoria and gender identity anda host of other mental health issues that
surround it. You know, oneof the best examples that is given and
I've heard Shapiro use it, butI've also heard others, is the suicide
rate among trans individuals is on paronly with There's only one one group that
(52:58):
has a suicide rate that high inmodern history, and that is Jews in
occupied Europe during World War Two.And there wasn't even a deviation with a
lot of you know, what youwould say is trans acceptance. Okay,
so back not that many years ago, there was there was obviously the gender
(53:22):
dysphoria discussion, but there was higherinstances of depression, anxiety, anxiety disorders
and other things. And if youdon't treat those things because you've now decided
that no, this is fine.Now everything's fine, and we'll just get
a doctor to do a consult forthirty minutes and then off they go and
(53:44):
they're good to go for gender reassignmentor hormones if they're kids, or any
of the rest of it. Theseare the big discussions that we're having.
But if you have an individual whois going through this and perhaps does have
some of these other issues that they'redealing with, which you know, contribute
(54:07):
to contribute to thoughts of nobody likesme, society hates me. What does
it matter anyway? All of thehorribleness that is wrapped up in depression and
other issues regardless of gender identity orany of the rest, but that people
deal with and seek help for.Then you throw in a healthy dose of
(54:32):
well, it's not that nobody likesyou, but let me tell you who
really doesn't like you. I don'tknow how you don't at least wonder if
if that sticks right? If you'relooking to figure out who it is who's
made your life so miserable, andyou're told, even though you know it's
a white individual, but you're toldthat there is just you know, all
(54:54):
of the horribleness in the world isrot from you know, crackers or you
know, white white privilege religions likeare we not allowed to ask if that
in some way shapes an individual's worldview? And and I'll give you the other
(55:14):
side of this, right, itis that same in that same vulnerable position
that one may find themselves in inwhat what the Covington shooter through the gender
identity path and and uh, youknow some of the stories that we've seen
with past incidents, that is athat is a vulnerable person and it's it's
(55:37):
what you see. You see examplesof this when people are trying to get
folks to join their their hate group. Okay, is give you an example.
It's really easy to go to somebodyin a rural community, yes I
use that word, you're welcome,sir, that has been devastated by uh,
you know, significant job losses,economic downturn, and attempt to convince
(56:02):
that individual. Look, the reasonthis is happening is you got you got
all these you got all these folksmoving in or the you know, the
people that are keeping you down.Are this this other ethnic group or religious
group or whatever it is. Andif you're somebody who is so low and
you're looking for somebody to blame,that kind of grooming can be very,
(56:23):
very successful. Right. So that'sthat's why when you actually get you get
a peek under the curtain at someof these like the Aryan nation groups and
stuff like that, you'll realize thatthere's a lot of similarities in the background
of people who go in that direction. So and you may say, well,
(56:45):
one's apples, one's oranges, that'sfine, I'm talking about people who
are in a vulnerable emotional state.So if you then have what is now
the societal expectation of CRT training thatis taught in a particular way with certain
language, certain struct and the andthe way that you go about that,
and you never for a moment go, could this backfire in certain circumstances.
(57:07):
Then you're not having honest discussions.You're not willing to. So that's that's
how I kind of approach this.And look, not all cases are the
same. And there's plenty of peoplethat sat through a CRT training session and
went this is this is BS right. But for others who are seeking meaning
(57:28):
or somebody to blame or whatever itmay be, they may it may not
interpret it as we're trying to teachyou. There's one thing. They may
see it as now you're telling mewho's to blame? So, and and
that's why, frankly, you gotyou got to get the all of it
out there so that people can reallydeep dive it. And I expect the
(57:51):
spin will be there. That's fine, But you know, I got eyes
I can read, and uh,maybe it will help formulate how I feel
about stuff and what I talk aboutbecause I have this wonderful opportunity to do
so each and every morning with youguys. So that would be the that
would be the deeper dive on mythought process to answer your email. All
(58:15):
right. A Washington, DC firefighterhas been dismissed after he got a call
was responding to a nine to oneone emergency call, however, decided to
stop at Chick fil A on theway there. Now, it wasn't it
(58:35):
wasn't that they got the call andthen they ordered. What they had done,
according to the report here is theyhad pre ordered Chick fil A,
and prior to the nine to oneone call coming in, they had on
the radio said that they were goingto, you know, get something to
eat, and they use the appto pre order the food. So they
(59:00):
actually were on the way to theChick fil A and when the nine to
one one call came in, theywere just entering the parking lot. However,
rather than getting out of there,they made the decision because it was
two of them, but only one'sbeen fired. Well, we already ordered,
already paid, and we're already here. And over the course of what
they described as just a couple ofminutes tops they received their Chick fil A
(59:22):
food and then proceeded to the nineto one one call, which was of
a it was a person experiencing chestpains. Yeah, they're firefighter EMTs.
Yeah, so call of a fiftyseven year old woman with chest pains and
they stopped to get their Chick filA. So, now Chick fil A
(59:42):
is pretty good. I'm just saying, you know, I'm I'm a fan.
If I'm getting Chick fil A,it's an exciting day for me.
However, I can understand why peopleare questioning that decision, although I'm also
reminded of the Hangary ross, youknow, the Hangary commercials with that Snickers
Who does that? Right? Theygot somebody who's like changes of metamorphosis because
they're angry, and then they geta Snickers and everything's fine. Like,
(01:00:05):
I don't know, if somebody's angry, do you really want them responding from
an EMT standpoint or do you wantto get a little something in their belly?
Man? I have questions, butyeah, I probably shouldn't do that.
So all right, right, sevenforty five Kcoday Radio. I'm not
sitting now. The guy's Matt.He thinks I'm busting up. I'm I'm
(01:00:27):
joking with you, sir. There'sjust some words that muscle memories. It's
not going to happen, so don'tworry about it. Don't worry about it.
Glad you're out there race stagic.He's out there at the weather channel.
Yo, good morning, Yeah areyou? I'm good man? I
I look, I just assumed youguys would split home and home, so
(01:00:49):
don't worry about it. Oh,I wasn't. My wife was shocked at
the lack of emotion I had.I said, bad when you're used to
it. I was just expected totrust me. They even got lucky was
able to get the ball back.That had to be Dak's best game statistically
like two years. Right, AmI wrong on this? I am not
a stats guy. Romo had great, great stats, and what did to
(01:01:12):
get them didn't get them anything.I'm a championship guy. Let a woman
ruin him? Well, yeah thattoo, just like Kelsey. Right.
I'll say this because I don't reallyhave like, I don't have a dog
in the fight, so to speak. And I was I had some friends
or Eagles fans and some friends.There were Cowboys fans watching that, and
just because somebody watching that was thatwas the most exciting game I watched all
(01:01:36):
weekend. Yeah, it was prettygood, but I didn't have like,
I didn't have the stress attached toit. I just don't watch. No
stress here. And look, theVikings game was pretty damn exciting too,
going it was. It was now, but that's some of my idiot friend
fans. Folks are posting videos andthem shaving their eyebrows off, and I'm
not okay, and that's not no, no, the Falcons got huge problems.
(01:01:58):
They got problems a quarterback. Itdid more than just that. But
listen, next few days really notmuch changing. You know, we got
fires burning now, especially western partsof the state, and there are air
quality alerts in the mountains, believeit or not, in some of those
areas where wildfire is burning, andthat means there may be a little smoky
at times of further west you gomaybe into the triad depending on when direction,
(01:02:21):
but especially further west a little withsmoking haze in the air. Otherwise
beautiful near or just above eighty.Over the next couple of days, by
Friday, we will back it offa little bit, a cloudy sky back
to the upper sixties, which ispretty more in line with what we should
do this time of year, andwe should end up with a decent weekend
Veterans Day on Saturday, Chili nearsixty and then near sixty Sunday partly sunny.
(01:02:43):
Here's a couple of records coming in. Let's go try it first today
eighty two, Tomorrow, eighty Thursdayeighty two, so we'll get close to
that in the triangle eighty four,eighty and eighty three, so we may
be threatening records the next few days. Advertise sixty four will get to that
and below that as we look aheadtoward the weekend especially Okay, all right,
(01:03:05):
well appreciate it and we'll talk inan hour, sir, yep,
okay, there go Race Stagic fromthe Weather Channel. I didn't know this
was a problem. Apparently it's aproblem. Disney's got an issue, and
they have a polite request should yoube planning a vacation that you don't do
this. I'll explain coming up nexton the KCO Day Radio program, Keeping
(01:03:27):
you connected. This is ninety fourto five WPTI in the Triad and one
six one FM Talk in the Triangle. All right, welcome back. It
is seven fifty three here on theKCO Day Radio program. Roz. I'm
gonna email you this because they thisis what they say, the we're If
you didn't hear Thong Gate yesterday.We have a follow up to that,
(01:03:52):
so what are the Eagles coaches?And we tweeted the video out yesterday.
It was one of those plays thatended up on the sideline, which is
not that unusual, and he hadsome big linemen stand in front of him,
so he didn't see the players comingin off the field, and he
got he got Wayley not hit toohard. And you know, the dude's
(01:04:14):
a former player, coach, he'she just brushed it off. But when
he fell over for a moment,you see his underwear, and damned if
it didn't look like dude was wearinga thong. And he's dressed in all
black. He's got you know,black athletic tray, you know, pants
on. He's got a black longsleep pull over. And this thing was
(01:04:35):
bright red and so it really poppedon screen and that obviously that that prompted
a that prompted a discussion on theinternet, says these things do? Did
he just go like all shaggy likenineteen ninety nine? It wasn't me or
what he say, all right,So so he now claims he took to
(01:04:57):
Instagram following that and claimed that inin fact, it was simply I guess,
an optical illusion. I guess.He said that he was wearing obviously
bright red underwear. However it wasnot, and then he shouted out the
company that makes it, which isa company I'm not familiar with PSD,
I guess. And the problem isif you go to their website, you
(01:05:18):
look, they make you know,normal men's boxers, tidy, whitey variety,
and then full length. They alsoand IoT's athletic gear. But they
also sold thongs to men. Sohe's trying to say that the red was
like a pattern and it's like amixture of flesh color and red and just
looked like a thong going up asit. So I sent you. I
(01:05:38):
sent you the actual it's called christI sent you the actual underwear that some
people are claiming it was. No, there's no way. I'm looking at
it right now. No way,No, not a chance. Not a
chance, dude. It's okay.Just you know, say you lost a
bet. Now, this is theTailor Swift effect. It starts coming to
games and then the coaches are like, dude, we need to wear underwear
(01:05:59):
like Tailor Swift. We need femaleunderwear. This is that you're feminizing the
league. Okay, I'll go withthat. Yeah, but I'm not buying
what this guy's laying now. He'slying. And disney Land and Disney World
have run into a little issue whichI was unaware of and sounds pretty horrific,
but also I guess I kind ofunderstand it because the lines the lines,
(01:06:23):
right, So Disney has has anissue. Apparently they have noticed that
there is a problem with people whoare in line don't want to leave line
and are like, well, ifyou gots to go, you gots to
go, and are literally defecating inline. And there's a lot of people
(01:06:46):
who have posted little stories about this, about literally seeing it or coming across
it. In fact, one ofthe workers for Disney, Yeah, here
we go, who works on Riseof the Resistance, that's what that's the
Star Wars attraction, right, yeah, yeah, yeah, which normally boast
(01:07:09):
an hour and a half average averageline time, said that they have started
referring to one of the parts ofthe line, which is actually in a
tunnel as well. It's it's afour letter word four pecs that starts with
(01:07:30):
the T and then so it wouldwork nicely with tunnel. I don't I
don't know if I can say thatword on the air or I should,
but anyway you get it. Yeah, cast member literally referring to what what
they call it, some kind ofthe poop Paul Way call it that,
I guess, And so Disney wantsyou to not not do that if you
(01:07:53):
could. Is this an I guessI've never heard of this ross you go
to You go to Disney obviously moreoften than I do. Is this a
I mean, you got to likekeep watching where you're walking. I've never
encountered that ever. Is this becausethis is because you let anyone in the
country, right, well, youdon't let him, and before you know
it, they're pooping in from thedumbos apriate Brazilian too appropriate? Okay,
(01:08:14):
well it's Disneyland and Disney World.Maybe it's just people from San Francisco on
vacation. Oh so it's not disneyWorld just Land. No, it is
both. Oh wow yeah, yeah, yeah, that is horrible. Uh.
Previously, former cast members, includingtwo who wrote books, actually spoke
of this, claiming that their timeworking in the nineties and two thousands contained
(01:08:36):
many instances of a career. Whythis was only now coming to coming to
the public's attention. Maybe they're protestingthe removal of the old fast pass system.
They can't they can't go out ofline because then I got to go
back in line and wait another twohours to get in the right I guess.
Uh. One. In one instance, a woman was in line for
(01:08:57):
the Indiana Jones Adventure and could burstinto the contryroll room and went on the
floor in front of the operators.Get out every down and then good morning.
By the way, it is eighto seven, every down, And
(01:09:17):
then I should just remember Casey sometimesyou should just stop exploring the story.
And I should have taken my ownadvice, because I clicked through on that
Disney story, which was kind ofa small it was a short version of
it to the longer story the NewYork Post put out, and then finally
threw to some blog postings from formerDisney staffers or cast members or whatever they
(01:09:43):
call them. Cast members, right, yeah, cast members who actually back
in twenty fifteen penned a book abouttheir times working at Disney going back to
the nineties to early two thousands,along with some blogs they run that current
cast members are posting little spy reportsand apparently it's not a new problem.
(01:10:06):
But there's a lot more people doingit, and that is people who are
standing in line gotta go, andthen just are just shamelessly go. And
I thought it was I thought itwhen I read this initially, we're talking
about people who are like, allright, well that when I get near
that bush, I'm going to goin that bush. Right. I was
(01:10:26):
wrong? Was that is some ofit? However, it's you don't think
you want to know this. Youwant to know this if only so that
when you go to Disney you cankeep your head on a swivel man,
all right. So they give numerousexamples. I gave you one where at
the Star Wars ride, literally somewoman burst into the control room and just
(01:10:50):
went there in front of the peopleoperating the ride. However, in there
on the blog and in the bookthey talk about multiple incidents of other popular
spots to do that, including multipleincidents of people who are on the It's
(01:11:10):
a Small World ride and have literallyjust hung it out over the side of
that. Dude. Dude, thatsounds bad because you're on a boat with
other people there that you're isolated.Bro, maybe you're in the back,
right, because that's not like you'reisolated in your own little you know,
cubby area, going through a tunnelor something like on the People Mover.
Certain aspects of that, you know, where you'd be alone in the darker,
you could go off the track.Wait wait, wait, why have
(01:11:31):
you Why are you thinking this through? I mean you brought up the subject
and I've been there, so yeah, my brain is going in different directions
and I'm thinking about it. I'mlike, so if you if I had
to ross, if you had to, that would be your choice. Yeah,
because there's a certain there's certain sectionsof the People Mover where it cuts
through Tomorrow Land and Space Mountain,so you're like on the outside of and
it's very dark, and you're inyour own compartment. So you wouldn't want
(01:11:56):
to go where you're sitting, obviously, because then you'd have to drive it
right around with it. But ifyou want off the sidetrack, it'd be
fine. It'd be in the dark, so no one would know, So
that would probably be your go to. But I think the the reason this
is happening is people spend an estimate, it's a rough estimate, a billion
dollars to go to Disney. Soyou spend a billion dollars and you go
to Disney and you've got the familyor whatever, and it's all this stress,
(01:12:18):
and then you're waiting in line forlike, I'm gonna wait for two
hours to go in the Space mountif it's busy, and then you've got
to go. But you're like,dude, I'm just gonna hold it because
I spend all this money and we'vebeen waiting in line for an hour and
a half and if I get outout of line, I got to go
back in line. I gotta waitanother two hours. I'm just gonna hold
it, and you hold it,and before you know it, you drop
trow and you go because you can'thold it any longer. That's what's happening,
(01:12:40):
according to the Fast employees. Previously, incidents had mostly been limited to
people going number one okay, rarelyokay, But however it has now transitioned
to a lot of incidents. Infact, it prompted a code change,
which among you know, they gotall all little secret codes in their own
language, especially on the radio,because it's all about not letting the guests
(01:13:03):
know anything's ever wrong. So whatused to be known as a code H
is now it could be either acode H or a code HP. Previously,
a code H was an indication tojanitorial services to come clean up where
some horses had been, right,which is that's obviously a thing you got
to deal with. However, they'venow because it's dead, it's it stood
(01:13:29):
for horse, you know, manurewhatever. Now they've had to alter it
so that they know what they're gettinginto. Other rides with multiple incidents,
and I'm not super familiar with these, you're gonna have to help me out.
According to the blog folks, therethese seven dwarfs mind train brutal not
want to be in the back.If you went, you'd want to be
(01:13:55):
in the bag. But like ifit's a person's in the front, because
that that thing moves at speed,dude, So that's they said, that
thing's clicking along. Okay, Ihave no idea. I have no idea.
I just I have been on It'sa small world, but in la
it's it's not a ride where yousit back and enjoy the animatronics and the
music. It keeps repeating. Youknow, it's not you're whipping through some
minds right right, but with it'sa small word. You may not be
(01:14:19):
at speed, but like already thatSAPs the soul being in there. I
can't even imagine if now you gottayou already want to you know, you
already want to like drug yourself soyou don't have to listen to the singing
in there, But now you've gotto deal with somebody doing that right on
the boat in front of what country? The specify? What? What the
is there? Like a certain countryand that's like the most popular that digging
(01:14:42):
for a cry, bigots, whichcountry would you go? No? I
don't even know which countries are inthere? It was so long. I
mean, it's all the countries ofthe world. It's like every continent.
Let's see here what other lads theyNow they don't have people mover listed in
front of Botswana, you bigot,stop it. I think what you say
(01:15:08):
with the people? But doesn't thatgo over people? Right? Are people
walking under that thing? Right?Like I said, certain portions. Yes,
it's a track that goes all acrossthe park through tomorrow Land, but
a lot of it is also inthe dark in a tunnel, so out
of tunnels. See. So here'ssome of the other attractions they talked about
EPCOT. I don't know what theymean by that. That's a that's a
big thing, big thunder Mountain railthat's also that is that's a nightmare if
(01:15:31):
you're in the back. That's anotherone that moves at speed, The Navvi
River Journey. I think the waterprobably that's the Avatar one. Okay,
yeah, that makes sense. Okay, so but so basically, these are
the rides they're listening and the onesthey are probably gonna have the longest lines
too, that's my point. Yeah, yeah, no, I'm with you
man. It's it's tracking now.Doesn't say anything about the Haunted house though,
(01:15:57):
I would think that would be youcan just blame it on the ghosts.
Yeah, that's what I'd be like, Oh my gosh. Yeah,
and uh what was the other one? Uh yeah, the Haunted mansion was
in there. There's one other scrollingdown in here. Oh whatever, you
get the gist. I'm not goingto dig. Oh, Twilight Zone tower.
(01:16:19):
So that's that's the Hollywood Studios one. So there you go, in
case you need another thing to worryabout. And by the way, that
one billion dollar average, cause that'sper person too, right, so oh
yeah, you know that's per person, not per family. But it's funny
because then they have people reacting toit, and instead of being like,
hey, other people stop doing that, they're like, well, Disney should
(01:16:40):
take all that money they're gouging usfor and build more bathrooms. Right,
But if the incident is they don'twant to get out of line, then
I don't know that that's going tohelp, you know what I mean.
I mean they could set upties throughoutthe line, but that'd be sort of
like, yeah, because what youwant in the bunch of port potties chilling?
Oh, that is so all whatis wrong with people? Man?
(01:17:06):
Maybe just maybe just eat better andit would be like a Disney port of
potty, So it would be likeamazing, super advancing and have all these
crazy features on it, and it'dprobably get I don't I don't feel like
that's necessarily the case, but whateveryou can do it one can dream,
man, all right? Eight eighteight nine three four seven eight seven four
quickly, Just as as we havebeen doing today is municipal elections. So
(01:17:32):
there's not the big ones. Bigones are next year in that sense,
but I would argue that they're allbig ones because the closer you get to
local, you know, largely,the more impact it has on your life
bus the more control you're able toexert. So go to the Board of
the Elections website if you don't knowwhat's necessarily going on in your your town,
because a lot do, but somedon't, and scroll down. They
(01:17:56):
got a fun little map. Youcan click on the county and it'll show
all the listings per county. Andif you know you live there, get
out and do it. Man,get out and get out and vote.
Have your voice heard it. Itwill be a low turnout election. Therefore,
you know, as a percentage ofthe vote you're you're you're providing more
(01:18:17):
influence and as a result of that, we have the opportunity as we do.
If you are one of the individualsrunning for office today, you're on
a ballot in one of the communitieswhere we broadcast, you want to say
hey, for a few minutes ofthe audience, call Ross will vet you
to make sure it's you, andwe will provide that opportunity, which is
(01:18:40):
just a really lazy way of usdoing it, but also a better way
because we got we have we havesuch a broadcast footprint. If we interviewed
everyone is on a ballot this itwould be weeks of this show just doing
that, and we wouldn't be ableto get to the you know, important
Disney stories that are out there.Now. People are telling me the rides
(01:19:00):
they would go on. Okay,all right, this wasn't I wasn't wanting
to create a contest. Okay,I was trying to shame this behavior.
So let's let's approach it from thatdirection. All right, eight sixteen though,
let's do this. We get somecalls lined up. Also, we
got a little movie news I'm gonnaslip in there. And yesterday Donald Trump,
(01:19:25):
we got to talk about this.So Donald Trump testifying in court,
and we don't have video, butwe do have a lot of real play
by play, including conversational quotes froma lot of reporters that are calling this.
And I got to tell you,this thing sounds like a train wreck
(01:19:45):
up there in New York and betweenthis judge and Trump and the lawyers,
and again you're you're getting it secondhand, but you're getting it from multiple reporters
with you know where the j justscolding Trump every time he went to answer
something, and then Trump's got apiece of paper, and then Trump went
after the judge, and then theywere really trying to shape his answers.
(01:20:10):
And then somebody found that the judgelikes to post half naked photos on bodybuilding
websites, so that creepy factor gotentered in there. But I saw nothing
that leads me to the conclusion thatthis is anything but a bit of a
kangaroo court. And that is beingpolite. But we'll give you the details.
(01:20:30):
You can be the judge and yourcalls coming up. Hang on three,
let's grab a phone call on theDisney and sanity before I get to
a few other things. Ray,what's up, hey, kc Hey?
Back in nineteen eighty six. Backin nineteen eighty six, I work custodial
(01:20:55):
in Frontierland and Disney World, andthere was a young girl to be about
ten years old, and she wasn'tstanding in line. There was no really
reason other than I thought that'd havebeen a cultural thing. But she just
dropped the squad right there in Frontierlandon the street and took care of business.
Well it is, and I waskind of lawless, took it too
(01:21:18):
hard, I guess she did.When I when I first saw this one,
I thought people were kind of pullingout a vision. But the other
thing was I assume at Disney there'sgoing to be accidents with kids because it's
full of kids, right, andkids have accidents, maybe not at ten,
but obviously younger. Like, Iget that one hundred percent. The
best I could tell, these aregrown adults they're talking about, so like,
(01:21:39):
I mean, yeah, I hadn'theard wrong, I had not.
I hadn't even heard that that washappening. But I guess it's it's the
whole New World got out. Whatever. You're glad you got out, sir.
So that's what you'd be dealing absolutely, all right? Yeah, no,
Look, I like, you know, a toddler, I got it.
Okay, that's just that's part ofdoing the business that Disney does,
(01:22:02):
right, you got if you haven't. If you have a business that caters
to children, you're gonna have childrenrelated incidents. I'm not at all surprised
by that. These are adults.Man. That woman who busts into control,
that's an adult. So all right, you get the gist. I'm
sorry. I only had to revisitit because then I saw the list of
rides, and I needed Ross's opinionon whether that was a good rider or
(01:22:25):
not to do that. Apparently theones that move at great speed not a
good option. So hey, man, do you mean ross You ever see
the swingy chairs at like carnivals rightwhere you know? Yeah, of course,
yeah, Okay, I was scarredin high school from going on those
things because I'm going around, I'mhaving a grand old time, and all
(01:22:45):
of a sudden I am covered inuh vomit, right because because of you
know, just the momentum of itjust carried it at a high rate of
speed and it hit me in abouttwo other people square, Yeah, they'd
be so bad, and it was. And by the way, and when
we got done, I figured itwas a kid I knew from school and
(01:23:08):
he got a nickname and it wasthe whole thing. But yeah, that
scarred me for life. So youcould put me on a high speed ride
and somebody's got other things. Butlike that person didn't mean to do it.
They just you know, their stomachdidn't agree with them. These are
people making active decisions. That's theproblem here, all right. Let me
flip over a couple other things.So yesterday, yesterday the Trump took the
(01:23:31):
stand, and it was a dumpsterfire, I guess would be the best
way to describe it. The nearlytwo hours of no, I guess it
was actually more than two hours.About the two hour mark where things got
really dicey at about two hours intohis testimony, Trump and remember this is
reporting from reporters that are in there. There is no cameras, right,
(01:23:53):
they're not streaming this. The judgemade a decision not to which I can't
imagine why that is. Trump atone point pointed the judge and accused him
of fraud and called the state attorneygeneral a hack, which, by the
way, that woman may post moreupdates on Twitter daily on this than the
reporters are doing. It started overa couple things. One was this this
(01:24:17):
direction from the judge telling Trump tosimply answer the questions. The judge felt
that Trump was too lengthy, hewas quote giving speeches instead of direct answers.
However, it went into a reallyuncomfortable place because, according to the
reporting, the judge at one pointstrengthened the directive and was telling Trump,
(01:24:38):
if it's a yes or no question, you need to answer yes or no,
which I have a real problem withthat. And here's why. If
you're especially on cross if you're askeda question and that individual who's out to
get you. Right, they're prosecutingyou, that's their job, and could
word a question and I don't knowif I have an examp per se,
(01:25:00):
but some questions are not simply yesor no. Well, look, most
lawyers will tell a client that goeson the stand, you want to give
us short answers as possible. Goodluck. Get Trump to do that.
However, demanding that they simply sayyes or no, there could be a
question posed where both a yes andno could be seen as perjury. Right,
(01:25:24):
this is this is this is thedanger you run. So if you're
asked a question that's not a simpleyes or no, and the judge is
not letting you respond as to maybewhy it's not as simple yes or no,
I don't know how that's in acourt setting, how that's legal.
Maybe some lawyer listening can explain thatto me. Yeah, No, I
agree with you, because I've seenthings before, like documentaries about like they
(01:25:46):
say like if you're questioned by apolice and say your lawyer isn't there and
you're still talking, like the bestthing you can do is answer yes,
no or maybe because there's no like, it's harder to define what you're saying
and get yourself trap yourself in alie that way, right, But if
you're not, if you're not giventhe option of maybe and there's a question,
right, because then they can interpretit anyway they want. Yeah,
I just the whole thing makes myskin crawl, man. But yeah,
(01:26:09):
it wasn't altogether unexpected. At onepoint they said that the judge got so
angry started slamming a table. It'sit's every bit the kangaroo court. I
think some people predicted, man.Bela. Yeah, they stuck with the
case and four years later, investigatorssay that they have arrested for and charged
(01:26:32):
four in a pretty famous theft thattook place over in the UK. Let's
see how much was stolen? Ninemillion? Nine million dollar items stolen from
the Blenham Palace, which you've everbeen. I've actually been there. So
this is the this is where WinstonChurchill was born, and it's you know
(01:26:56):
museum. They do art exhibits inthere and they what else? There was
something else there. I can't rememberwhat it was, but anyway, that's
so. It's a UNESCO World HeritageSite, right. So it's near Oxford,
so if you go and Oxford's prettycool, if you ever do get
to go up there. So anyway, four years ago, an exhibit it
(01:27:20):
was not Winston Churchills by the way, what I'm about to tell you,
but it was an exhibit that actuallywas in the Guggenheim that decided to display
at the museum there at Blenham Castle. And it was actually a meant to
be a conceptual art exhibit that wascriticizing extreme wealth. Okay, so what
(01:27:43):
they stole is a nine million dollarssolid gold toilet. They stole again not
Winston Churchills, but is on exhibitat the Winston Churchill Museum there at the
at the palace there. So what'seve creepier? I assumed that it was
just sitting there on like on likea stage or something. No, no,
(01:28:04):
no, no, it worked.It worked, believe it or not.
Visitors could sign up for a threeminute exhibit window during which they could
go and use the nine million dollargold toilet, which was connected to the
(01:28:30):
plumbing, so that when it wasstolen, it was just simply ripped out
of the plumbing, which caused Iguess some pretty bad flooding, which I
guess I can imagine, and somore so than just the theft, of
a nine million dollar solid gold toilet. They also did significant damage well over
the one million pounds. So whichpound is the pound? Ad it's about
(01:28:54):
fifty so about yeah, because thetoilet's four point eight million pounds nine million
US. You can roughly do themath there. However, they were not
able to recover the toilet. Theydid find the individuals, but for four
years haven't been able to find it. And even though they have criminal charges
and arrest, apparently they they've notfigured out where the toilet is. I
don't know if they've melted it down, sold it or or what. But
(01:29:18):
yeah, so it's it's been solved, and it doesn't say how they solved
it. By the way, yousaid you were doing some renovation at the
house ross new roof tomorrow. Ohman, you're saying something about some new
a new bathroom right too? Oris that a thing? I don't recall
saying that, but said you hada nice new toilet. I just oh,
(01:29:40):
yeah, yeah, completely, yeah. Would you want to would you
want to go in a nine milliondollar toilet which you could have when the
sign was on exhibit you could do? I don't know, man, you
know, they need they need thisexhibited Disney, and then people can get
every port along the line, right, Yeah, they can afford it with
what they're charging. Yeah, sosolved. They got it solved. And
(01:30:03):
check this out. A little horriblestory. I don't know how familiar you
all are with NFTs, but oneof the ones that got a lot gets
a lot of press and pub outthere are what are known as the board
Apes. So it is a seriesof a bunch of cartoon monkeys, right,
(01:30:24):
So one smoking a cigar, there'sone dressed as a sailor. And
if you get into the NFTs,which you know, that's on you.
These were these were among some ofthem were popular and as a result,
the company that puts these together,board Ape Yacht Club, actually hosts an
(01:30:44):
annual get together, a convention forthose who are in the cryptosphere, and
this year's event was attended by abouttwenty five hundred people. Now, the
reason I'm bringing it up is notto tell you about an event that you
missed. By the way, there'sten thousand of these ward eight NFTs,
so you get twenty five hundred peopleto show up. The reason I'm bringing
(01:31:04):
it up is they had a littleproblem. See as they were going through
the event, which consisted obviously ofyou know, like the hype speakers,
you got the laser lights, andeventually it was a cocktail party and a
party and all of that. Butas the evening unfolded, people in attendance
(01:31:26):
started started feeling pain, and eventuallythat pain got worse and worse for a
handful of people, several dozen,it's described. So they were trying to
figure out what's going on because peoplewere literally like, my faces on fire,
my eyes feel like they're gonna burst, there's chili. It feels like
(01:31:46):
there's chili peppers in my eyes.What's going on? And that eventually led
to dozens of people getting I guessa version of snow blindness. Have you
ever had that? That's horrible.So here's what happened. Whoever was putting
the lights in for the stage eventand then eventually for later in the evening
for the the party substituted u Vlights Oh my god, or for you
(01:32:16):
know, just the standard cans thatyou know are doing the light the light
show for you and people. Andhow long was the show? Well,
it is, so the event whichhad started at noon and culminated at three
am, so and the lights werebeing used both for the stage show as
well as during the DJs. Thehad a DJ come in the other lights
(01:32:36):
going and they realized that what peoplehad in common that were literally going blind,
although not expected to be permanent,there's significant damage that could be done.
Is that those folks were either inthe they're right up front during the
stage show so right where the lightswere, or during the party portion were
camped out near the light. It'slike you're in a tanning bed for like
(01:32:57):
three hours, yes, staring outthe lights for fifteen hours, fifteen hours
and they literally literally blinded several dozenpeople. They posted on x they're really
really sorry about all that. They'relooking into it. So yeah, but
I guess when your NFT goes tozero, you won't be able to see
it. So if somebody tell youthat's just awful, man, just awful.
(01:33:24):
How do you make that mistake ifyou're if you're in the audio visual
business, that's like, I don'teven understand how you would make that mistake,
Like how you what your use wouldbe in in you know, party
movement lights, the can lights thatthey use at concerts, Like what would
the purpose of having a UV bulband light in there even be oh,
(01:33:47):
let's see here. Out of thetwenty two hundred and fifty people, the
report that about three dozen have complainedof some sort of injury, although the
ones that really got injured are literallyblind right now, and doctors say eventually
they should regain sight, but theyare unclear as to uh if there will
be long lasting condemned. I mean, if you're at the gym and you're
(01:34:09):
like, I'm gonna go tanning today, the first thing they ask you is
do you have your eyewear? Likereligiously I ask you that because they don't
want to suffer the illegal constacle.I mean, it's bad news right to
look at that with your eyes open, even even closed. Because one of
the biggest issues when it comes toskin cancer is skin cancer on the eyelids,
and they won't they warn you aboutthat, Like it's very very common,
(01:34:30):
like that it might happen, likeyou have to go and have like
stuff removed and stuff. I knowa bunch of people on Twitter and X
listeners that have had these procedures donebecause of skin cancer on the eyelids,
and it means a big deal.Man, this company's gonna be in trouble.
Well, Jesus man, the wholething is so fly by night anyway.
I don't like where was this overin Hong Kong, Like, I
(01:34:50):
don't even know what You're very goodluck, yeah, have have fun in
the Chinese courts, all right.Eight to forty five. Raced age it
from the weather channel here, andhe's got if you like the warm weather,
he's got some good news for you. So yeah, I mean,
typically Casey should be what a littlebit sixties this time of year, somewhere
around there. Not quite twenty aboveaverage, yeah, but pretty close to
(01:35:15):
it. I mean, will befifteen degrees easily above normal. So let's
say if the averageise sixty four,it puts us where fifteen sixty four or
seventy nine, And that's about wherewe'll be as d through the next few
days. Upper seventies, low eightyscene. A little cloud kind of going
in and out of the clouds insunshine here this morning across the area to
the west. I mentioned it earlier, but if you didn't check in all
(01:35:36):
the wildfires burning the western parts ofthe state in the mountains, they're still
going on. There are some airquality of works not into Asheville, one
of the bigger populated cities out toour west, but surrounding counties to bunk
them, so there is a littlebit of haze and smoke in the air.
I don't know if it'll make itthis far east. It'll take a
run at it. But I thinkfor the most part at sun and clouds,
(01:35:57):
upper seventies, low eighties, sunnyTomorrowsday, and Friday the change comes
in. So a couple of moredays near eighty and the change Friday.
There might be some showers around,especially later Friday, but other than that
casey, I think real great weatherover the next few days, cool though,
but dry by the weekend. Iremember a few years ago they had
big fires out around Lake Lure,and I remember one day in Raleigh,
(01:36:20):
I think it was a weekend day. I will come and I go outside,
and I'm like, what is goingon? It had settled. It
settled in for like a few daysin Raleigh to the point where it was
really uncomfortable to be outside. Solet's right now keat that. So,
yeah, it doesn't look like ifthe problem is is that there's no appreciable
rainfall in the forecast, may getsome late week, but I don't think
(01:36:44):
it's gonna be enough in terms ofbig rain for the next two weeks.
Really don't see a bunch. Okay, all right, cool, thank you
sir. We'll chat once again tomorrowand we're coming back. Jeff Bellinger,
Bloomberg News Plus. So we gotto go to San Francisco for a little
whoopsie. They were unaware that there'shills. I guess I don't know.
We'll get into that. Hang onninety four to five WPTI and the Triad.
(01:37:09):
All right, good morning and welcome. It is eight fifty two your
Bloomberg Update now with Jeff Bellinger.Jeff, what's happening? Good morning?
Casey stocks extended their winning streak yesterday, but really just barely. The gains
for the major averages were very modest. Right now, the futures are mixed.
S and P and Dow futures arelower. Nasdaq futures are up five
(01:37:30):
points. Oil prices jumped following theannouncement over the weekend of extended production cuts
by Saudi Arabia and Russia, butthose games didn't last. Crude futures are
falling now. They're back below eightydollars a barrel. The Energy Information Administration
just reported this morning the average nationwideprice of regular gasoline is down more than
two percent from a week ago.If you own your home, chances are
(01:37:54):
good that its value increase this year. Core Logic reports the prices for single
family homes increased four and a halfpercent on a year over year basis in
September, and as of September,prices had risen for one hundred forty consecutive
months. They are now more thanforty percent higher than they were when the
pandemic began. We works not beenable to recover from the sudden drop in
(01:38:16):
workspace demand that was brought on bythe pandemic. The once high flying startup
is now filed for Chapter eleven bankruptcy. COVID may be faded, but some
of the changes to the nation's workforcethat were caused by the pandemic have endured.
One major change has been the socalled Great Retirement. The labor force
participation rate for workers sixty five yearsold or older remains well below the pre
(01:38:41):
pandemic high, and at this pointthe US has about two million more retirees
than were predicted by the Federal Reserve, and a case Starbucks Workers United,
the union, representing about nine thousandbaristas at stores around the country, plans
to file unfair labor practice charges againstthe coffee chain. Starbucks announced raises and
(01:39:01):
a new benefits package for its nonunion employees, but said union workers will
have to negotiate their pay and benefitscasey okay, thank you much, Jeff,
do appreciate it, and we'll chattomorrow, sir. Sounds good.
Have a good day. All right, there you go, Jeff Bellinger,
Bloomberg News. A couple entertainment things. I'm not formiliar ro else. Have
(01:39:24):
you played the Spider Man game oris that play It's PlayStation only, right
you I've seen people yet as aPlayStation, so I don't play it,
okay, But so for those whodon't know in the world oh Spider Man,
there's Peter Parker as you know him, but there's also Miles Morales and
there's you know, some people arelike, ah, this is their character
(01:39:44):
swapping. But they're two different characters. They have two different distinct storylines,
and you know, I don't havea beef with that. However, apparently,
in the New Spider Man two,they've apparently decided that they don't want
to deal with Peter Parker anymore,and as part of the game, Miles
(01:40:08):
Morales becomes the main Spider Man andit now has fans speculating that is part
of the next iteration of this,They're going to grease Peter Parker so that
I understand why people have some beefman So in of course Gizmoto, because
(01:40:28):
why wouldn't you talk to one ofthe Gawker sites, directors of the insomniac
labeled Gate started talking about how theyare passing the torch from Peter Parker to
Miles Morales. And while initially Peterjust decides to kind of go into retirement,
the speculation is to make this finalthat they're going to go ahead and
kill off Peter Parker, perhaps likeGreen Goblin do it. So so you
(01:40:51):
know what I was wrong. Youguys should be paranoid. It's good,
could kill him off, I guessit until you need him back and then,
uh, you know multiverse. ButI have nothing against Miles Morales,
but I haven't checked out any ofthose new Spider Man movies, like into
the Spider Verse and stuff, andI've had no interest in doing it because
Peter Parker is my Spider Man becausehe Spider Man was Peter Parker decades before
(01:41:16):
I was even born, right,Movies, comic books, toys, all
different sorts of media, ye,video games. I'm sorry, Spider Man
is Peter Parker, but there justcan't. They're examples, but there are
quite a few examples in the worldof comics where the original person is not
now the person. There are,and I don't like them. Oh okay,
(01:41:39):
you don't like the new cap.I like, Like I said,
Falcon is great, is a greatcharacter, but he's not Captain America.
To me, he's just not allright, all right, fair enough.
But you know, just like ifI think if they'd have just left it
as we're gonna, you know,Miles gonna do this, Peter's gonna go,
I don't know, uh find himselfor whatever, and then there was
(01:42:00):
you know, that back and forth. I think people would have been fine
with it. But they're probably right. They're probably just gonna kill them all,
are they just so the way Arethey just going to just kill them?
Are they actually gonna kill off thecharacter or just kind of well,
they're so the speculation is that's whatthey're positioning the game, folks are not
telling. They want to leave itas a teaser, but there's some other
hints and clues in there that haspeople they get really nerds out. I
(01:42:20):
don't have time to go over allof it, but speculating that, yeah,
there's gonna grease Parker and have GreenGoblin do it. So so I
guess we'll see as as stuff isreleased and gets out there. But yeah,
that has irritated some folks. AndRidley Scott's new Napoleon, which I
didn't realize this. They're going torelease two versions of this. One's going
(01:42:41):
to be four friggin' hours and thenthe other one's two and a half,
and so it'll go theaters two anda half and then Apple Plus. Uh
well, you can watch both whenthey get there. However, this thing
is Ridley Scott Walking Phoenix. Theyspent a crap ton of money. It's
supposed to be just over the topwith production value. However, now TikTok
(01:43:04):
historians, I'm sorry, I can'tkeep it. Can you keep a straight
face and say TikTok historians, bythe way, because those are words that
do not belong. Remember, there'sa whole TikTok thing where the Roman Empire
didn't exist, So are criticizing elementsof the trailer for quote historical inaccuracies.
(01:43:25):
And then then it gets really intonerdsville right there, and I appreciate Ridley
Scott telling him just get a life, right, just enjoy the movie.
I can't decide whether I want tosay I like historical epic movies. The
four Hours sounds like a grind man. And I don't know that Napoleon is
that interesting to me as maybe,but yeah, that's coming out. And
(01:43:47):
what I didn't realize is he's simultaneouslyproducing a Gladiator too. Did you know
they're doing a Gladiator too? Whichis set for released next year or so?
I don't know what do you dowith that? Does he finally hook
up with his sisters? Sure?I'm unclear he's by the way he comes
back to life because Multpiper's so timetraveler or something. That part of that,
(01:44:09):
that part of the movie always creakedme out. Yeah yeah, yeah,
but all right, we got aroll. Yeah I'm sorry. Commatist
is still awake, dude, right, Oh, I got news. You
ready to sitting down? Please besitting
