Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Yep, yep, yep.

Speaker 2 (00:01):
Obviously a little break in the action there for Monday,
as it was a holiday, and.

Speaker 1 (00:11):
Even though somebody you were like, yeah, well Casey, you
and Ross just had a week off. Oh jeez, am
I gonna sneeze this morning? Really we're gonna do this?
Excuse me? Oh hope, I turned that awful lot. Okay,
all right, sorry about that.

Speaker 2 (00:27):
Never does it Like before the show and I'm said,
they're talking to Ross, It's like, well wait for him
to start talking.

Speaker 1 (00:32):
Yeah, that's what we're gonna do. So well done.

Speaker 2 (00:36):
No three day weekend there, so uh, you know, we're back.
We got everything kind of compacted into four days, but
we'll make it happen. It'll be okay.

Speaker 1 (00:44):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (00:45):
I hope everybody had a productive amount of time off,
got something accomplished. If you if you, you know, if
you celebrated or at least recognized, that's good as well.

Speaker 1 (00:57):
Ross. Do you guys have a good weekend? You and
the fam? Yeah? Man, it was enjoyable. Yes, did you.
I'm sorry, I'm just just like a second ago when
you sneeze, and I'm not saying the sneeze caused it,
but my speakers were already on the fritz, and I
think they just like blew out oh no, oh yeah,
like you sneezed and there was this loud popping sound
and now they both went mute and.

Speaker 2 (01:19):
Okay, well that's probably something that should make speakers not work.

Speaker 1 (01:22):
So that's fun, okay.

Speaker 2 (01:25):
But otherwise, it was a good Africa Day holiday for
you and the family. I'm sorry it was it what
the Africa Day holiday weekend? You guys, I was unaware
that was the thing. You didn't put the inflated you
didn't put the African Day inflatables out.

Speaker 1 (01:37):
I'm so confused.

Speaker 2 (01:39):
Yeah, you're big inflatables guy. You got yeah, one for
every season here.

Speaker 1 (01:44):
So yeah, I know we got the inflatable BUCkies for
what did you say, Africa Day? Yeah, for at the
African Day weekend holiday? Do you mean Memorial Day? It
was a Memorial Day. I'm sorry the what day? Memorial Day?
I'm not is that a thing? Is that a Canadian thing?
I'm not a fool. I know it was Africa Day
because I saw the Mayor of Chicago. In fact, here

(02:05):
we are. Hello.

Speaker 3 (02:06):
I am Mayor Brandon Johnson, and I am proud to
join you in recognizing and celebrating Africa Day.

Speaker 1 (02:14):
Okay, the continent of Africa is made up.

Speaker 3 (02:16):
Of one point two billion people with diverse countries full
of rich traditions, cultures, and heritage. The African diaspora can
be found in cities and countries around the globe and
right here in Chicago, our proud African communities have made
indelible contributions to the growth and fabric of.

Speaker 1 (02:38):
Our amazing city.

Speaker 3 (02:40):
So this Africa Day, let us take a moment to
celebrate the achievements of the people of Africa, the progress
made by African nations, and the traditions and culture they
have shared with us. And let us also show them
that we will embrace and support them as they continue

(03:00):
to overcome and face their challenges head on. Thank you
and Happy Africa Day everyone.

Speaker 2 (03:08):
Yeah, so you know that got to you, you and yours.
That is the mayor of Chicago, the third largest city
in the United States, honoring what matters this weekend Africa Day.
That's why I asked if you had a good Africa Day.
Does it make sense?

Speaker 1 (03:24):
Now, I'm not really, but did they put it on
Memorial Day? Like did they come up with this new holiday?

Speaker 2 (03:28):
And you know, there's so many days to go around,
bro right, you got to remember that, right, all right?
So the so the Jesus people, they you know, they
snagged a few some of the spring, some of the
some of the winter. LGBT took like half the calendar,
you know what. I'm driving out like you're running out

(03:49):
of days.

Speaker 1 (03:50):
No, And they did it previously in the Biden administration
where they made the trans Day of Awareness on Easter. Correct. Yes, yeah,
it just seems they always picked like days that already
or so like big known holidays and to place their
own sort of holiday there, like you could pick another day. Okay.

Speaker 2 (04:06):
Did you know that today is both National Great Popsicle.

Speaker 1 (04:09):
Day, right? You know yeah, so I was thinking about.

Speaker 2 (04:13):
This and also it's like something strudal day and you
like that strut shake things right, I was saying, like
I was thinking before, like you know, there's different celebrations,
are quote holidays for every day like the ones that
you just mentioned, or you know, National Biscuit Day or
National Wine Day or whatever.

Speaker 1 (04:27):
It is a Great Popsicle Day. Yeah, Let's be honest,
it's not really like a holiday or day off if
unless we get it off. If it's a paid day off,
then it's like an official holiday. Otherwise it's just like
a Today's cake day, like it doesn't really mean anything. So,
but they're Good Friday.

Speaker 2 (04:43):
Would you say Good Friday is a real holiday, a
real day of remembrance anyway? Uh, yes, okay, but we
worked on Good Friday, yes, which I well, I am
a firm believer that I believe that. You know, it's
weird to me that we don't get the Easter holidays off.
It's super weird. Yeah, it is weird mm hmm. And
it's not just our company, it's a lot of company.
I don't understand that, right, and so.

Speaker 1 (05:04):
We don't technically get Africa Day off. It's just so weird.
They why are they choosing this day?

Speaker 2 (05:08):
Like I just again, they just run out of I
think they just ran out of days.

Speaker 1 (05:13):
So you don't think there's any spite there. There's not
an ulterior.

Speaker 2 (05:16):
To land on Memorial Day of the day that we
on or not necessarily just people who serve with people
who paid the ultimate sacrifice. Yeah, yeah, that is weird
of all the days, because there are other days you
can double up, you know what I'm saying, Probably go
ahead and double them up like Labor Day. I think
less people would be offended if he doubled up Labor Day. Right,

(05:37):
maybe make that Africa Day. But you know, sometimes these things,
you know, nothing is in a vacuum. Sometimes you just
throw darts at a calendar and then there you go
where it landed.

Speaker 1 (05:49):
That's what we're gonna have to do. So say, I
don't think there's nothing weird about the communist mayor of
Chicago just picking Africa Day to do it on Memorial Day?
Was it on Memorial Day or.

Speaker 2 (05:58):
Was it like yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah it was the
same day again, darts dark board.

Speaker 1 (06:04):
You never know, things happen. So so I got to
break out my inflatable Egyptian pyramids. Yeah yea y yeah.
And the best part about the inflatable Egyptian lawn pyramids
is I can slowly build them up until the Christmas holiday,
like I can progress it slowly. Yeah. So, I mean

(06:24):
there's a theme there so to all go together.

Speaker 2 (06:27):
And and and there's tunnels under your inflatables. Those inflatables come,
they're very very interesting. They have tunnels underneath them that
we can see but we can never explore. R Maybe
one day, don't you dare dig there, right, because the
dude from the show on History Channel that's now the

(06:49):
Doctor whatever, he'll get very mad at you, zorry.

Speaker 1 (06:53):
Doctor Zoari.

Speaker 2 (06:56):
Does not once you digging down there, does not even
really like questions about it. And that's important to understand,
all right. Anyway, six thirteen, I hope everyone else had
a productive Africa Day holiday weekend. Just wanted you to
want to know that we remember, we remember, and we
honor these things. All right, coming up on the show,

(07:17):
we got all sorts of other insanity to get with
you on We're gonna have Cassie Clark on the show
that'll be an eight oh five today. She said, Hey,
do you want to talk about cyberstock? And I'm like, great,
do we get to cybersox somebody on the show live?

Speaker 1 (07:33):
That'll be amazing.

Speaker 2 (07:34):
But apparently it's about like she testified at the at
the General Assembly about maybe how we should just be
able to swat people on the Internet who have different
political opinions and maybe there should be.

Speaker 1 (07:46):
A way to deal with that.

Speaker 2 (07:50):
So I wildly misunderstood what she hoped to accomplish. So
I don't know that we will be cyberstocking people, but
we will talk about it and how in practice it
works and or it really doesn't work here in North Carolina.
So apparently when she had some opinions online, people also
were like, Hey, what if we continually ordered pizza or

(08:12):
wherever you and your kids are to let you know
that we know where you are.

Speaker 1 (08:16):
Because you have a different opinion than us.

Speaker 2 (08:20):
Or have we sending the SWAT team to your house
telling them that there's a rape, murder, kidnapping and because
you have a different opinion than us. And she's like,
I don't think so, because I got kids and stuff.
So we'll go ahead. We'll go ahead and talk about
that at eight oh five, coming up a little later

(08:42):
in the show. Plus we've got other general insanity, but
right now we got a break, So six fifteen, hang
on absolutely, man, there's so many lunatics to avail yourself
up this morning. It's going to be very exciting. It's
going to be very exciting, this whole lunatic getting to
know you thing. We have people that are struggling and
feeding themselves, which is not new. Right in our era

(09:08):
when it came to people struggling to feed themselves, Ross
who was the og of people struggling to feed themselves
in our era.

Speaker 1 (09:16):
Right, Oh, man, the kids from Ethiopia.

Speaker 2 (09:18):
That's Sally Struthers and crew. Right, how many times were
you reminded what a cup of coffee costs?

Speaker 1 (09:24):
Like all the time. And those images, man, they still
haunt me, Like the images start letters. I will send
you a letter.

Speaker 2 (09:30):
Yeah, once we shoe the flies off this kid, we'll
give them a sandwich and we'll make him write you
a letter. Oh and then won't you feel good rather
than having that cup of coffee every morning? That was
the og And the whole time, Sally Struthers is getting
just a little chunkier and a little chunk here, and
people notice that stuff and then before you know, it's

(09:51):
starving and starving Marvin and his family or fighting aliens,
and it's the whole thing. You gotta watch out. But
that's not where the real struggle lies today. It's not
people in parts of the world where drought and famine
have overtaken it and they're just out of options because
warlords and stuff. They don't sit there and you know,

(10:12):
cover themselves and they're uh, you know, they're they're starving.

Speaker 1 (10:15):
Figures with bulls. Super Bowl Bill's Super Bowl merch like.

Speaker 2 (10:19):
They did back in the day, a whole continent of
people thinking you guys had a four peet. Frankly, I
don't know why there's not more Bills mafia fanatics over
in Africa if you think about it, right, because a
lot of you know, people like to get on a bandwagon.

Speaker 1 (10:36):
Man. I mean, I wouldn't jump to conclusions. I wouldn't
be surprised if there were, well, you know, folding tables
are a luxury. I follow like Bill's fans account from Italy,
from Kazakhstan, from all over the place. It is funny
watching the Bills.

Speaker 2 (10:51):
I remember we ran into a group of like German
Vikings fans that had flown over to me. This is
how can you imagine you're such a fan of another
country sport? Which I'm not mad about it, but it
was all these German dudes that were tailgating in like
fifteen degree weather for a Vikings game and it gets
cold in Germany.

Speaker 1 (11:11):
I don't think they were prepared for that. I don't
think they did their research.

Speaker 2 (11:16):
And it was not a fun party either, because they
were tailgating kind of near us, and like we invited
them to do the corn hole that we do it
with rings like if toss rings and there's three holes
in the board, so it's a slightly different variation. And
like they really didn't want to play games or really
do anything. But it wasn't interesting to talk to people

(11:37):
who were so wrapped up in it that they flew
all the way from like Berlin or wherever to cheer.

Speaker 1 (11:43):
On the vikings.

Speaker 2 (11:43):
Now we bring the sports to them just to screw
teams ahead of their bye week. So but anyway, yeah, no,
to your point, I wouldn't be surprised either. So, but
all of this is going on yet that is not
where the struggle lies now. No, the struggle, according to
a big piece over at the Atlantic magazine, is in.

Speaker 1 (12:04):
Your own home.

Speaker 2 (12:07):
So they're going to write an article about it. Now
it used to be then they'd write when they were
doing journalism. How would a publication normally approach the struggle?
That is, are you ready treat new feeding yourself dinner?
How would most publications in all of our life approach
this ten easy weekday meals something like that. They'd give

(12:29):
you a little like five step things. Maybe if your
grocery prices were up and an acknowledgment of that they'd
be like, save money on family meals this week, and
then they would and they would go ahead and do that.
But that's not how we do journalism now. Now everything
is an absolute mind bogglingly hard struggle that we need

(12:53):
to overcome.

Speaker 4 (12:54):
So tired of cooking dinner sometimes.

Speaker 2 (12:57):
Cry and don't cry.

Speaker 4 (13:00):
My name is Rachel Sugar. I'm a contributing writer at
the Atlantic, and I wrote about the thing I probably
think about more than anything, which is, who is everyone
everywhere still making dinner every single right?

Speaker 1 (13:15):
Well, hold on, Ross, do you guys make dinner in
your family?

Speaker 5 (13:18):
Yes?

Speaker 1 (13:19):
Yeah, oh you do? Oh wow?

Speaker 2 (13:20):
Okay, all right, so right, this is this is right
in his wheelhouse night.

Speaker 4 (13:24):
All across my neighborhood, across the city, every single night,
all these households with kids, without kids, whatever, have to
individually deal with dinner. Oh no, it's not like nobody's
tried to address this. There are these zillion different meal
prep bloggers and cookbooks about easy weeknight dinners. There are
all these different companies that offer are supposed to be solutions,

(13:45):
whether that's meal kits or prepackaged heat meat actions. There's
something eat to where the whole selling point is basically
that you don't have to think about it. And probably
some of that works sometimes for some people, but every
single one of those things has significant den sides. A
lot of them are really expensive, or they're not actually

(14:07):
very good, or they're not interesting, or they don't meet
your nutritional specifications. Taking from starving deliberate sagear is none
of them can really address this fundamental issue, which is
there's this collective idea that dinner is special.

Speaker 1 (14:23):
It's call it suffer.

Speaker 4 (14:24):
They do that some places, nourishing not just nutritionally but
also spiritually, and it's just really hard to get that
in a box. So basically you have two choices. You
can totally compromise, but then you have to accept that, yeah,
it's not the dream dinner, or you can live the dream,
and then you have to think about.

Speaker 5 (14:44):
It all the time, and there's.

Speaker 4 (14:45):
Really no way around it, and you know, it's kind
of liberating to accept that that, even in the golden
age of technological progress, dinner refuses to be solved. So
my advice to you is, well, that's the thing. There's
no hack.

Speaker 2 (15:03):
Hey, Ross, you've heard of bone juice right talked about
that on the show.

Speaker 1 (15:07):
Yeah, from the black sarcophagus. Yeah, and when you find it,
he's got to drink it right away.

Speaker 2 (15:11):
Yeah, that's a weird concentration of liquid that formulated apparently
because of the breakdown of literal human body parts.

Speaker 1 (15:20):
And now you have bone juice and as Ross.

Speaker 2 (15:24):
Pointed out, as soon as you crack open the black
sarcophagus and find that.

Speaker 1 (15:27):
But but but you know, it's it's not very mainstream.
But something else.

Speaker 2 (15:34):
Is it's bone blow is it's a drug made out
of human bones apparently, which is all the rage amongst
the kids, although not here in the US. I don't
know that it's caught on quite as much, but you
know it's working on it.

Speaker 6 (15:50):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (15:51):
This is just one of the many things we learned
about over the weekend after a flight attendant was caught.

Speaker 1 (15:55):
Smuggling one hundred pounds of cot.

Speaker 2 (16:01):
Which or cush excuse me, cush, not caught cush, which
is a new drug originating out of West Africa. That
it's kind of kind of a fentanyly kind of thing
to it. But what makes it unique is it's made
in part allegedly out of human bones, which I don't
know if that adds to the high if it's a

(16:22):
delivery system. But it's like bone blow, which is trademark
by the way, I just trademark that.

Speaker 1 (16:28):
I don't understand this. Do they have to like find
like dig up the bones to make this drug or
do they like human smuggle and murder people to make
to get the bones? Yes, the thing, Yes, well that's awful.

Speaker 2 (16:42):
Well, I don't know or it's or it's a it's
it's I don't know, it's yeah, I mean you got
to cut it with something that backspines your profit. So
I'm not really I'm not I'm not up on really
the etiquette around this drug.

Speaker 1 (16:56):
Like I don't even know. I don't even know bone
but like is it do you do bone blow.

Speaker 2 (17:00):
Off a hooker's butt or is it better done off
of dead hooker's butt? Like which is it if it's
made literally of human bones? In part I don't know
the answer that I'm not up on the kush. So
maybe somebody who's up on the cush will have to
explain the cush etiquette for this. So do you wear

(17:21):
like an obscene piece of jewelry that's actually a storage
system for it around your neck.

Speaker 1 (17:26):
With a little spoon on it.

Speaker 2 (17:28):
I don't know where your ring flips open. It's just
full of bone blow? How did she smuggle it? So
very secretly? So she's a flight attendant. I mentioned that,
and apparently she had had some downtime, so she was
staying in Thailand, and I guess they have a thirty
day visitor visa, so she had to leave the country

(17:51):
after three days.

Speaker 1 (17:52):
And generally you're doing.

Speaker 2 (17:54):
What's called a passport run in countries like that, where
people stay, so they leave for a day, they go
to another country, and then they come back in and
they get a renewed three day visa.

Speaker 1 (18:05):
So she's like, I'm.

Speaker 2 (18:06):
Gonna go to Sri Lanka, but you know, I guess
in proximity is pretty close. It's either that or north
set in the island. And so she went to.

Speaker 1 (18:13):
Sri Lanka and lo and behold.

Speaker 2 (18:15):
While she was in Sri Lanka for her one day trip,
she had over one hundred pounds of luggage, and believe
it or not, somebody swapped all of her clothes and
makeup and everything in there out and then filled it
with bone blow. So they caught her with one hundred
pounds of bone blow. Instead of toiletries and clothes and shoes,

(18:37):
and you you know how women travel one hundred pounds
for a one day trip.

Speaker 1 (18:41):
That's right on the nose. Now, when you're like a
flight attendant, does her luggage get scanned like everybody else
at the front or do you like just wheel it
in and put it on the plane yourself?

Speaker 5 (18:50):
Uh?

Speaker 2 (18:50):
Well, okay, so I'm not sure how it works everywhere,
but apparently somebody caught her, so there must have been
another cog in the cyam.

Speaker 1 (19:00):
Still, that's so dumb, Like they're going to scan your luggage, right, yeah, Like, hey,
is this bone blow in your luggage? And you're like,
what that isn't mine?

Speaker 2 (19:08):
Yeah, how to one hundred pounds of bone blow? Which,
by the way, is a lot more pounds than you're allowed.
But I guess being a flight attendant you probably have
some probably a little easier for you now. It used
to be we really didn't scan any of their stuff.
And you know, for years years Pablo Escobar exploited that system,

(19:29):
and they you know, they literally there was a there
was literally years where if you were on a flight
for one of the companies that he was smuggling through,
and you know how at the beginning they tell you, hey,
if we if we crash in the water and somehow
all survive, under your seat is a flotation device, right,
you've heard that beginning of flights, except they got rid

(19:50):
of all those and turn them into bricks of cocaine.
So had the plane been there and everyone went for
their life jackets, they would have found, you know, a
kilo of cocaine.

Speaker 1 (20:01):
I just to hold onto in the water. That'll still
float though, right, it does. Yeah, they see it in Florida.

Speaker 2 (20:07):
It's a bit of an issue, right, And you're just
at the beach, maybe celebrating like Africa Day with your family,
and then here comes to kilos and bales of drugs.
So and but flight attendants there was a lot of
smuggling with that. So nowadays they do tend to look
at their luggage. So although they do get fast tracked. Right,

(20:28):
I'm sure you've never been security like RDU or whatever. Right,
you're not seeing the flight crews come through there. They
gotta throw a little line.

Speaker 1 (20:34):
But yeah.

Speaker 2 (20:37):
Bone blow also known as cush but I like bone
blow better, is a new popular drug among young men,
which causes listening to this individuals to fall asleep while walking,
collapse unexpectedly, and even wander into moving traffic. Apparently, situational
awareness is not a hallmark of bone blow. One of

(21:01):
the many ingredients is reportedly human bones, and the insatial
desire for the substance has even led to ghoulish grave robbers. Oh,
to answer your previous question, it sounds like it's a
combination of murder victims but also just standard graveyard rob
Like can you imagine doing a drug and also being

(21:21):
haunted after you do the drug. That's probably part of
the high man the spirits of the people you just
snorted off the dead hookers, but.

Speaker 1 (21:34):
Really heightens it.

Speaker 2 (21:37):
Growing concern has many countries declaring a state of emergency
over abuse of cush, including Sri Lanka, which just just
put in a bunch of rules and laws for people
would smuggle this stuff.

Speaker 1 (21:52):
Where they get twenty five years in prison. So that's
what she's facing. Let's see here, she flew the.

Speaker 2 (22:02):
United Arab Emirates, So that was the other part of
this tube because she was passing not just to Thailand,
but to the UAE and then to Thailand. And they really,
they get a they get really they don't like drug
smuggling much there in the Middle East. I don't know
if you're aware of this. So that's a problem. And

(22:24):
it wasn't just one hundred pounds of bone blow. I
should be, I should be the person who also swapped
her luggage, who totally wasn't her also filled it with
thirty pounds of marijuana and hashish.

Speaker 1 (22:37):
So seventy pounds of bone.

Speaker 2 (22:39):
Blow and then thirty pounds of marijuana and hashish.

Speaker 1 (22:45):
So there's that. Lots of problems. There, lots of problems.

Speaker 2 (22:50):
And they just arrested some eighteen year old girl for
trying to do this too. I think she was going
through nighted Arab Emirates. Yeah, so apparently it's it's very popular,
but I've yet to try the bone blow, so I
don't know. ROSSI ever pay any bone blow back in
your party days.

Speaker 1 (23:06):
No, it's the first I've heard of it. Oh, okay, are.

Speaker 2 (23:08):
You a little disappointed now that you're you know, you're
sober and stuff.

Speaker 1 (23:11):
I can't say that, I am. You don't get to.

Speaker 2 (23:14):
Try the bone blow, so you can report back on
what it is, because frankly, I still don't know what
it is.

Speaker 1 (23:20):
I don't even know what it's made of.

Speaker 2 (23:23):
But anyway, uh yeah, so don't smuggle the bone blow
And if you have one hundred pounds of luggage for
like a one.

Speaker 1 (23:31):
Day trip, that will raise some people.

Speaker 2 (23:35):
Will question that even though women tend to overpack, so
watch out for that.

Speaker 1 (23:41):
All right, So there we go.

Speaker 2 (23:42):
He's learned about a new drug. A good way to
start the Tuesday.

Speaker 1 (23:47):
All right.

Speaker 2 (23:47):
Coming up on the show, the Party of the People's
figured out a new and exciting way to imperil your
freedoms in the in the interest of climate change. So
if they're not doing it just to be draconian, they're
doing it for because the ends justify the means, and
not at all to control your life, just rather to

(24:10):
save the planet, which I just read over the weekend
too that even if they meet all the goals on
the rising sea level stuff, that the sea levels are
still going to rise, so don't get too cocky, which
I don't know how that works, Like why do we
even have hallmarks and benchmarks that we want to hit
if it's not going to do any good according to

(24:30):
whatever your thing is here. So we'll cover all of
this with a Massachusetts senator with a very interesting name
who has come up with a new and decidedly interesting
way to.

Speaker 1 (24:45):
Nanny statue and she dead serious about this too.

Speaker 2 (24:49):
So that horrible idea and much more coming your way
here on the CaCO Day Radio program. Sure, depending on
where you guys were, whether you're traveling, you probably ran
into a little bit of that as we well, And
I've flipped on the old Apple TV and on Apple
Plus they had.

Speaker 1 (25:07):
This new big budget adventure.

Speaker 2 (25:10):
It's it's it's supposed to be like National Treasure, which
there's a little bit of suspension of belief that is
required for the movie National Treasure, but it's still a
good movie.

Speaker 1 (25:21):
Ross. You guys like National Treasure? Yeah, no, we love
those movies. Yeah, good stuff. What was the what was
the series that they did too with.

Speaker 2 (25:31):
The guy was on Grazer or He's not one of
the big shut nineties shows, but he did The Librarian, right,
did the series of movies called The Librarian or whatever
where he basically is a librarian, but they handle all
mythical stuff like Spear of Destiny and things like that.
Those are okay, but they require a suspension of belief. Right,

(25:53):
there's probably not secret writing that Lemon Juice will unveil
on the back of the of the Constitution, right, so
you don't need to hoist it for this. And but
this Krazinski movie, it's Jim from the Office and I'm
trying to remember the chick who's in this doesn't matter,

(26:13):
Jim from the Office, and he's a thief of like
mythical items.

Speaker 1 (26:22):
But his sister works for and his sister is Natalie Portman.

Speaker 2 (26:32):
By the way, in this movie, and they're trying to
find the Fountain of Youth. And to say that they
didn't even bother it.

Speaker 1 (26:41):
It's called Fountain of Youth, by the way.

Speaker 2 (26:43):
To say that they didn't even bother putting a storyline
together is well, what, it's completely accurate. Two, it's from
the jump just ridiculous. And uh they and I don't
know how much money they spent on this thing. Is

(27:04):
guy Ritchie who did the movie too.

Speaker 1 (27:06):
These things you need to have, like some sense of realism.
And then like towards the middle of the movie, you
sneak in the the insanity, Like I remember sitting in
the theater for the second National Treasure movie and it's
the big you know, he's in the living room whatever
with John Voight and his girlfriend and the nerdy guy,
and I think maybe his mom was there. I don't know,
but he says the lion in the camera, you know,
frames up on his face and he goes, I'm gonna

(27:28):
kidnap the President of the United States, and the entire
and the entire theater burst out in laughter.

Speaker 2 (27:35):
But he did it, He did right. All I had
to do was go to Mount Vernon, which I've been to.
Have you ever been to Mount Vernon? You ever done
that tour there?

Speaker 1 (27:44):
I know, I'm afraid that I'm gonna be taken down
into the catacombs underneath Mount Vernon after seeing the movie,
and that's not an option, that's not a thing. Do
you get. You do get to see a little part
of the underground because it's kind of how his grave
is set up there. But like there's there's not catacombs, right,
The best part is the tunnels underneath the Mount Vernon,

(28:04):
the catacombs, if you will, which we've seen in this
documentary National Treasure too. They lean out to the lake
and one of the best fishing spots you can have
right there. What's a river? Yeah, right, there were great
the potomacare of the just park your boat right there.
And yeah, it's really not set up like that.

Speaker 2 (28:23):
Like you can go walk to the water's edge, and
when you get to the back of the house where
they have where they all kind of our party, and
you can see that. But that's not the thing there.
But it's pretty wide open right there. There's really not
even trees. Just boom, there you are in the river.
The grass basically goes all the way down to the river.

Speaker 1 (28:40):
Where do you even go from there? Like, because wah, no,
I mean like after the National Treasure too, what's okay?
Is there a third one? I don't think there no.

Speaker 2 (28:50):
I think once they figured out that there was also
catacombs under all the president's faces filled with money, Just where.

Speaker 1 (28:57):
Do you go? Like, we're gonna kidnap the pope. Hey,
nobody's done it yet.

Speaker 2 (29:04):
Else we got a new pope who speaks English, so
you won't even have to dub.

Speaker 1 (29:08):
You just play him. Man, you break it. He's like,
what are you doing? Why does he sound like ma?
Why is he what does he sound like Mario? He's
in Italy but he's from Chicago. Yeah, but he's in Italy,
so the accent sort of takes over eventuo.

Speaker 2 (29:25):
Okay, you know if that works like that, are you
doing the hand thing? Yes, of course you can't. You
do it without the hand thing to media Mario. Right,
we almost had what was the one guy who was
almost pope?

Speaker 1 (29:38):
He had an amazing name. What was that? What was
the other dude's name, Veto Sarducci or something like that.
It was something crazy.

Speaker 2 (29:47):
Oh what was it? Hold on, oh, finalists like it's
like it's American idol. Uh what was the other guy that?
This guy had a great name? Well, the guy from
a was Matteo Zuppi. Oh yeah, no, it was pir
Bautista Pizza Bala. We always had a Pope Pizza Bala.

(30:12):
That's a guy who plays basketball and enjoys pizza. I
guess I don't know, but we didn't get that. We
got Francis Privos from Chicago instead of Pope Pizza Bala,
which you have to pronounce like it's the Mario thing.

Speaker 1 (30:27):
So there you go. And I'm assuming that dude's from Italy, right.

Speaker 2 (30:31):
Well, technically he's the Pope of Jerusalem or excuse me,
the Cardinal of Jerusalem, but is originally from Italy. Do
you imagine you last name is Pizza Bala and you're
from like Chile or something. No, that's a strong Italian
name right there. Well anyway, and you knew how we

(30:52):
got off on the same Oh yeah, So I watched
this movie and it was which I hate to see
because I like me some John Krasinski. He was even
good in the uh, the horror flick too that he
did with his actual wife Emily Blunt there which she
the Monsters who Get You with the sound That was good.

Speaker 1 (31:11):
That was it was. That was a good movie. He's
been doing got him. He was in the Jack Ryan Show, right,
did that show? And then yeah, it's been doing a
lot of voiceover work. He did a voiceover for Pixar
in Monsters University. And he was also in that Ryan
Reynolds film where they're the Imaginary Friends. He voiced one
of those.

Speaker 2 (31:28):
That's okay, all right. I just hate to see it
because I enjoy watching him and stuff. And I feel
like they probably threw so much money at this thing
and brought on all these big names, so to have
it not work probably not good. But I thought Krazinsky
and Natalie Portman were fine. I just think whoever wrote
their characters was like, you're not even gonna do any
character structuring. We're just gonna have insane things happen the

(31:50):
whole movie and people will think it's national treasure.

Speaker 1 (31:53):
Well, the fact is now we know for a fact,
right Dwight made Jim Okay, I've decided to hijack this segment,
if that's okay. Chicago did the weekend holiday? I don't
know if you have plans or anything for this segment.
Did you have something that you know? Really nothing is
planned here. Yeah, So anyway, Marky and I are expecting
our second child a bit congratulation, a baby boy in

(32:17):
late November.

Speaker 2 (32:18):
Have you figured out which pro sports team you want
him to be the first pick overall with?

Speaker 1 (32:23):
Probably the Buffalo Bills. But okay, all right, in all honesty,
we have had and you know this, and you haven't
said anything. We've had two years of amazing ups and downs.
We have suffered four miscarriages in the span of two years.
And we have known this for about three months now.
We just found out the gender the other day we

(32:45):
took Lincoln. It was a great experience.

Speaker 2 (32:47):
By the way, you all are finding out the gender
at the same time. I am yes, right, because he's
very close to his best Yes, and so I knew
you guys went for the sonogram and that was it.

Speaker 1 (32:57):
We've been waiting though, because we've had so many problems
in the past few years, and it's been there's certain
days where I've come in here where you know, you
knew Mark he was pregnant, and then you find out
that you know, we lost it, and it's like those
days I just couldn't even speak because you're at such
a low place. But God's timing is absolutely perfect, and
we are now twelve thirteen weeks along. We found out

(33:19):
it is gonna be a boy. We took Lincoln to
the ultrasound and we're so excited I cannot even I
announced it to our vip twitch people on Sunday and
I couldn't even get through the segment without crying. So
hopefully I can do that. I like turned into Glenn
Beck and I was like almost like sobbing because we're
so happy about everything. But we'd take Lincoln to the
ultrasound and he was so adamant. He did not want

(33:40):
a sister. He did not want a sister at all.
So he's sitting there and he's trying to, you know,
understand like how he's looking at the baby. They had
a screen up there, you know, you're the doctor's putting
this thing and mommy's tummy and he's just sitting there
and he's adam. He does not want a sister, and
he just keeps going, does it have a wiener? Does

(34:00):
it have a wiener? And then the doctor is laughing
and she finally tells him. She goes, look what I see?
I see a wiener? And Lincoln gets so excited. He
is like shaking and he's pacing the room. He's like,
it's really a boy. It's really a boy. It's really
a boy. So this is gonna be it is. We
see it as an absolute blessing. We are incredibly happy,

(34:22):
and yeah, late November is when we're expecting. Was there
a reason he was adamant that where he wanted to
I have no idea, but he's super excited to share
like all his favorite things with it. And we've been
having him talk to Marky's stomach every day, tell you know,
tell the baby something new every day and he keeps
telling the baby about like you video games and.

Speaker 2 (34:41):
Is going to know so much about Michael Jackson comes
out of the womb, right.

Speaker 1 (34:45):
So anyway, that's the big news that we for about
Dratsman for about three months. And like I said, we
were just being very you know, after everything we've been through.
So we're so excited now. So yeah, late November, baby
boy coming. You're also going to get this baby laser,
which means yes, but anyway, good today, I am declaring,
like the Chicago mayor declaring Africa Day on I'm a

(35:08):
moral day. I'm declaring this day Tuesday, March twenty seventh,
Hayes plus one day, which means I now get the
day off. She's got a four day weekend. Yes, have
a great show.

Speaker 2 (35:17):
Well no, no, no, no, no, well hold on no, once
the baby is born plus one today, right, but it's
not plus one yet, that's gonna have to be another holiday.

Speaker 1 (35:27):
Anyway. I'm gonna have to take all December off, so
we already take half of it off, all right. So
have you formed management of this yet or just put
it into the system and I'm just gonna assume it's
gonna get you know, they can't say no, right.

Speaker 2 (35:42):
Ah, Well I sound like Chewbacca here. Yeah, yeah, he
probably could, but I'm here for that, all right.

Speaker 1 (35:52):
So you said late late November you know, Yeah, I
mean it's one of these things where it's a it's
a it's a thing that really keeps I mean, it
keeps the most parents up at night, like what's going
to happen to your children when you pass away? Right? Right?
And I'm still I give myself about one hundred twenty
years probably will be my life span. Okay, one hundred
and twenty. I keep keeping shape. I eat twenty eggs

(36:13):
every morning, so I'm thinking, like Old Testament Abraham Moses,
around one hundred and twenty okay, at the minimum. But
that being said, I'm not going to be here forever,
and Marky's not going to be here forever. And one
thing that keeps us up at night is really the
stress of who's going to take care of our child
or be there or know about our son, because you know,
he's gonna have to have somebody at least with him
his entire life, and it's a matter of at least

(36:35):
now there's some sort of like we wanted him to
have a siblings so bad, so when we pass away,
at least there's somebody there that's going to care for him.

Speaker 7 (36:41):
Right.

Speaker 2 (36:41):
That's a much different connection for Lincoln being a family
member than even just teachers he likes or things like that.
All right, so so late late November is is the target?
Is there an exact day or do they not target?

Speaker 1 (36:57):
The exact day? Believe is November twenty ninth. Okay, so
you could have a Thanksgiving baby yeah, oh Lincoln so
excited to share Christmas with the baby too.

Speaker 2 (37:05):
Oh yeah, get kids can know all about inflatables and stuff
just right out of the womb.

Speaker 1 (37:11):
Be amazing.

Speaker 2 (37:11):
All right, Well, congratulations from me, second only to your
twitch twitch followers. That's right, yep, yeah, funding out there,
you're assuming your vip twitch.

Speaker 1 (37:22):
Thank you. It's a velvet rope thing, man. You know
you're not part of it, unfortunately, So.

Speaker 2 (37:25):
If you went in all the hot announcements, this is
not at all the marketing segment on top of everything else.

Speaker 1 (37:30):
So I'm not one for self promotion. Hay, No, no
you're not. That's that's all right.

Speaker 2 (37:36):
Well seven fourteen there, and I'm sure you'll keep everyone
up to speed man what's going on? And I'm assuming
Marky's super excited to get all pregnant again.

Speaker 1 (37:46):
Yeah, yeah, a bit. But some women enjoy it.

Speaker 2 (37:49):
Some women don't, but they enjoy the aftermath obviously, so
I don't.

Speaker 1 (37:52):
I don't know how she vibes with that stuff. So
a Marky's been super happy, like I said, everything we've
gone through the past few years. It's just is this
her way of getting out of preparing dinner. I think
she's going to have to prepare extra dinner if oh, okay,
all right, well don't tell for that chick from the Atlantic,
I'll probably throw her for a tizzy there.

Speaker 2 (38:11):
All right, Well, uh, I will let me do this
because I don't want to. I don't want to cram
in other stories. Uh with this, uh, with this exciting announcement.
So I will get to the insane Massachusetts senator coming
up here in just a few minutes, and we'll just
leave this segment for what it is. Okay, all right,
and you can send all your baby gifts to the
station or whatever. So because you know, what do they

(38:32):
call that? What do they what do they call those presents?
Push presents?

Speaker 1 (38:34):
Right? No, No, the baby Registry on Amazon or I
think we have one on Amazon and Target. So I
will share that like.

Speaker 2 (38:40):
I'm looking at it right now. Does the baby really
need a lambo that it's important?

Speaker 1 (38:44):
Man? Yes, then, but they can't. Babies can't even drive. Man,
it's a lambo for my children. Oh so the ones
for the kids. This is for your kid. Yeah, the charity,
you know, the previous charity, the Hayes for shaff Lambo
for the children. It's evolved into the Hayes for Sheriff
Lambeau for his children. And I mean it's a natural
evolution of the charity.

Speaker 2 (39:04):
Wait, hold on, start, wait, hold on, hold on lightsaber?
What why does a baby need a light staber defense
defending itself?

Speaker 1 (39:11):
It's a cricket a baby. Man would be a cool
world out there, man, bad people out there. No, it can't.
Very scary stuff. Did you know they now make Marky
was showing me this. Don't say baby lightsabers? No. So
you know, Lincoln is thirteen now and the time has
gone by so fast, like a blink of an eye.
And that's really how fast time works. So even thinking about,
you know, having a second sheold it's like, well, I

(39:32):
have nothing else to do. What else am I doing? Nothing?
We'll try to, you know, raise somebody good for this
plan and do some good and contribute in some way.
Plus plus you hate sleep, Yes, I mean only sleep
four or five hours a day anyway, so there's no difference.
But you know, there's also a population issue. So now
we're contributing to that which we're helping save humanity. You're welcome,
that's right.

Speaker 2 (39:52):
I don't have kids, so you're doing this on everyone's behalf.

Speaker 1 (39:55):
In in the span of thirteen years, there's already been
so much progress in what like baby stuff and kids stuff.
They now have little Carrig dispensers, Carrig machines for baby formulas. Yeah,
and I just think about things evolved, like back when
we were a kid. Like I didn't realize this. You know,
I have two sisters they are ten years eight and

(40:15):
ten years older than me. And when there were babies,
baby wipes did not exist, the baby wipes, and just
think of it. It's just you know, it's wet wipes
you used to wipe. Yeah, they did not exist. You
would take paper towels and you would wipe them, or
you would just you know, you would pressure wash them. Right, Yeah,
Like think about that baby wipes. That's how fast things evolve.

Speaker 2 (40:34):
I mean, you can't you can't pressure wash babies anymore.

Speaker 1 (40:37):
Powerwashing.

Speaker 2 (40:38):
I mean, I can hire somebody off, how I see, Well,
there's some guys who do it for YouTube stuff.

Speaker 1 (40:44):
They just go and volunteer to pressure wash stuff.

Speaker 2 (40:47):
And the person's always super suss as to why they're
they're wanting to mow their lawn or pressure wash their
driveway for no money.

Speaker 1 (40:53):
They just assume it's a scam. But no, those people exist.

Speaker 2 (40:56):
So but yeah, the baby wipes, I have to go
back to the baby carrig They come with even smaller
little single use coffee pods.

Speaker 1 (41:03):
Or I'm not sure. I don't know. I don't think
it can take coffee pods. I don't know. Maybe they're
designed differently, but it's so super somebody's gonna have to
purchase it. For the baby registries. You can find out.
Even the bacinets are are different now and like a
span of thirteen years, where like they move by themselves
and they you know they let's face it.

Speaker 2 (41:19):
When we were kids, you could your baby could sleep on.

Speaker 1 (41:21):
Top of a wood chipper, right, yeah, But I mean
this was the thing before we got Lincoln's autism diagnosis.
He was uh, it was really hard. He never slept.
First off, he would and he would wake up like
every like ten minutes and we had this. Now it's
like old time of this old timey vibrator thing that
would go on the this the bacinet and would vibrate
the basinet but with this music. But the thing is

(41:44):
it would die because it was like a wind up
thing and it would die like after like twenty minutes.
So he would sleep for twenty minutes and as soon
as it ended, you wake up simulate. Yeah, he would
wake up. And now you have these things that'll just
go the entire time. It's just nuts. Yeah, we really
didn't have all the cool baby stuff. We're kids, man,
we got It's crazy. It's crazy. What's We had? Baby
wipes though, so that's good, like.

Speaker 2 (42:06):
And and lightsabers and and lambos for kids. So that's uh,
what what progress we have made?

Speaker 1 (42:13):
All right?

Speaker 2 (42:13):
Seven eighteen? Uh, there you go. Cac O Day Radio
program hang On.

Speaker 1 (42:18):
I did send out a picture and a tweet on
the show account at Casey and the Radio on X
on Twitter whatever you want to call it. Yeah, it's
an ultrasound pick there. Yeah, the ultrasound pick. And this
baby nailed the profile pick like the the like nailed it,
like absolute legend. Look at that.

Speaker 2 (42:33):
That's a personal baby. But the second his thumb, right,
you know what, baby, And that's.

Speaker 1 (42:38):
Like straight like he nailed blue steel, you know what
I mean, like zulander stuff. Right, that's a good point.

Speaker 2 (42:43):
It was a little foot kicked up there. And I
trust the doctors, but I've never seen an ultrasouner like
that's his uh, that's his male part there. I mean,
I believe they know what they're looking at, but I
don't know because that looks like a whole leg man,
So I'm assuming that's it.

Speaker 1 (43:02):
Well, I mean, once again, I'm not a doctor. I'm
not a doctor, but that's what they said.

Speaker 2 (43:04):
So right, yeah, baby, baby's packing or whatever. But the thumb,
the thumb, the thumb in the mouth pose is straight, baby.

Speaker 1 (43:14):
That's absolutely perfect. Yeah, good stuff. So I h ross Rechi.

Speaker 2 (43:19):
It's on his account, but he retweeted on the show
accounts to go to at Casey on the radio or
you go to Shays for sheriff uh and check out
the uh the first I wouldn't be a selfie, but
the first baby photo there he is a straight baby pose.

Speaker 1 (43:36):
So check that out. All right, hold on, let me
grab a call here real quick. Uh, yes, Dona, what's up, good.

Speaker 8 (43:42):
Morning, Casey to graduate Ross of course, and uh you know,

you definitely need to give him an expecting Father's day.

Speaker 2 (43:54):
Off or Ross plus one day or whatever. Hayes plus one.

Speaker 1 (43:58):
Yeah, yeah, got it off.

Speaker 8 (44:01):
Yeah, I think the start a start a movement case
plus one.

Speaker 5 (44:05):
That's it.

Speaker 8 (44:06):
And the other thing you guys are just talking about,
Oh my god, just totally escape me.

Speaker 1 (44:12):
Oh the picture and.

Speaker 8 (44:16):
But yeah, okay, well I want just wanted to mention
about the picture.

Speaker 5 (44:19):
What would be really cool if you could get somebody
to put a little cowboy hat on him?

Speaker 1 (44:23):
Like he's wearing wearing a Bill's jersey, so oh.

Speaker 5 (44:28):
Well, a cowboy hat and he's ready for glid.

Speaker 1 (44:31):
I'm not sure how the table got in the womb,
but I mean he's a true fan. It looks like
his wife.

Speaker 5 (44:37):
But yeah, yeah, so when I actually.

Speaker 2 (44:40):
What I do at the delivery with that don if
you don't know, they actually have a little tiny folding
table that they put right under the mother.

Speaker 1 (44:48):
The first thing just smashes it all right, right, yeah
that's the whole thing.

Speaker 2 (44:56):
It's not on fire. So people are worried about it's
they're not crazy.

Speaker 8 (45:01):
But Mark, you might have something to say about the
doctor dropping the baby on the table.

Speaker 1 (45:06):
Well, texting you, she'd be the one dropping the baby
on the.

Speaker 5 (45:09):
Table, so technically she might not. Yeah.

Speaker 8 (45:13):
Yeah, anyway, when I when I raised mine, there were
no baby wipes.

Speaker 1 (45:18):
You just pressure wiped them.

Speaker 5 (45:20):
Yeah, yeah, I had a had a baby bedet.

Speaker 2 (45:24):
Okay, you can do or you can dip them in
the river. But and but be careful if you hold
their ankle while they're doing it, because one day it
could be their down.

Speaker 8 (45:34):
Is that what your mother did with you?

Speaker 2 (45:36):
No, it's but Achilles, mom did that? Look what happened?

Speaker 5 (45:40):
All right, Well, congratulations mister Hayes and missus Hayes. I'm
very happy for you, are you guys.

Speaker 1 (45:46):
I'm assuming you guys have had name discussion. But that'll
be for posts. Yeah, that's gonna be for We're not
gonna announce that till the baby's born. But you'll tell
you'll tell me first, right, uh? Probably not? Probably not?

Speaker 2 (46:00):
May I mean obviously you tell your family first, but
non family then.

Speaker 1 (46:04):
We're not telling anybody.

Speaker 2 (46:05):
Okay, yep, Well you have to tell the like the hospital,
right because they put it on the burst of yeah,
I mean sure, sure, okay, all right, so there to
answer your question hurts, It's it's premature for that.

Speaker 1 (46:17):
I could give you like a decoy name, though.

Speaker 2 (46:19):
You could, you want to make it extra ridiculous. So
it turns into will they or won't they? Kind of
going back to our previous discussion there, So are you
gonna go you stick with the presidential theme though.

Speaker 1 (46:31):
Uh, we're thinking about it, but probably not like Grover were,
because we're you know, we have We've had people throw
out like ideas and stuff, and I'm sure Marky's sister
was like, how about taft. We're like, we're not naming
the baby after the president that was so fatty get
stuck in the bath. Yeah, that's it does not.

Speaker 2 (46:48):
Promote a healthy lifestyle right there. But Grover, right, that's
got that's I mean, that is that that is a
top tier muppet. I mean over yeah, yeah at that
going for you as well?

Speaker 1 (47:05):
Or Chester? Right, Chester is a good one. I don't
like Chester either. You can't have some awesome mutton chops. Right.
I was thinking about it too, like when Lincoln was born,
you know, thirteen years ago. God time goes by so fast. Yeah,
I wasn't like I was a completely different person.

Speaker 2 (47:21):
Then show what we got we kind of the current
show concoction started.

Speaker 1 (47:27):
Yeah, and it's like I still wasn't used to the
morning schedule because I had been doing nights for so
long top friv Music nights, and I was used to
going to bed at like two three in the morning.
You get backing up at like four in the afternoon.
I was eighty five pounds overweight. I had a huge
drinking problem. I'm just everything seems like the timing seems
really perfect. Like and I know, I know, for one,

(47:48):
I know that we're a lot wiser and Lincoln has
taught us incredible patience, and like, I think we're both
much better people now because of Lincoln. Like I really
think God put Lincoln in a lot. You can hear
how excited you. Yeah, I think God put Lincoln in
our lives to work on our own character and it
make us better people. And I think we are and
think we're much more prepared for baby number two now,

(48:10):
not to say we're not going to be tired, but
I mean physically, mentally, spiritually, I think I'm in a
much better place now, and it's it's very popular now.
You know, first off, Marky's like seven years younger than me,
so she's gonna be fine. But I'm you know, I'm
forty five. I'm forty five. Let's be nice here, right,
And I mean and a buck Sexton just had a
kid and he's like forty three, and I mean he's

(48:30):
never gone through it before, so I'm sure he's going
to be like, you know, it's going to be like,
you know, whiplash or whatever. Completely shocking how it is.
But I think, you know, what else do I have
to do? That's what I was like, with the rest
of my life? What else do I have to do?
Sit in my ass, play video games, watch TV? Maybe travel?
What the hell is that? I would much rather spend
the time doing something that's completely worthwhile, like raising a

(48:52):
good person for the world.

Speaker 2 (48:53):
Well you can do all those things with that person too, yes,
oh completely, yeah, No, you have all that experience.

Speaker 1 (49:00):
So yeah, taking the kid to Disney for the first time, yeah,
in my experience. And I mean I'm just talking for myself.
I can't talk for other people. But the greatest things
I ever did which put my life on an upswing
was marriage and having children. Yeah, yeah, definitely, I recommend.

Speaker 2 (49:16):
It enough, definitely core focused there for the last two
years as part of the last two years. The last
few years is part of what has been a fundamental
change too. So it's interesting too that you're acquainting yourself
with the Bible right now too, right because some would
say there are some good lessons in there.

Speaker 1 (49:33):
Okay, so I'm going to tell you a story, and
I don't care if you believe me or not. I've
told this to a few people, so okay, eighty four
days ago, I did decide for some reason, I just
woke up and this is this is before I knew
that Marky was pregnant. I woke up and I decided
that I was going to read the Bible. And I said,
I'm just going to read it, just to read. I
felt like it was something I was supposed to do,
like it's something that was given to me to do.

(49:56):
And like I said, I've changed and working myself so much.
You know, I'm six years so I've gone from being
an atheist to being a believer because he answered my
prayer to help me with my sobriety. I've lost all
this weight, in the best shape of my life. But so,
like I said, this, this is tough for me to
talk about because like certain things like this is like

(50:16):
a real thing. This isn't like a joke, This isn't
like this is like super That's why I brought this up.
Super real for me. So we had gone through two
years of miscarriages, four of them total, and it was
you know, you start reading the Bible for some reason,
I just started reading it and you see this. Let
me breathe. You see this sort of trend in the

(50:39):
story from the very beginning where you have these classic
matriarchs belonging. And I'm not gonna go on like a
huge diatribe here, but just quick summation. Right, you have
the family line of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and what
you see here is a constant story of matriarchs who
have a hard time conceiving children. And the lesson here
is that God, if you have a birth, or if

(51:01):
you have life, it has to it gets permission from God.
So all of these matriarchs are blessed with children, and
the lesson learned is that you know, God is responsible
for that life. They're like they're gifts. So Marky comes in, right,
let me find this I took a screenshot of this.
I've shared this with a few people and I don't
care if you believe me or not, and I don't.

(51:22):
I have not told you this. No, this is this
is all new to me. Let me find it. It's
my phone, Okay. So Marky comes in and she gives
me the news, and I'm doing my daily reading, and
I'm an Exodus and as Marky says that she's pregnant,

(51:42):
this is what I'm reading. It's Exodus twenty three, one
thirty three whatever, none shall miscarry or be barren in
your land. I will fulfill the number of your days.
That's what I'm reading. When she comes in at the
moment Yes comes in, Yes, I was so blown away
that I took a screenshot of it, and I'm like, no
one's gonna believe me. I believe you, man, I believe you.
And I said to Mario, we were so concerned about

(52:03):
her having another miscarriage. And I'm reading this line, none
shall miscarry or be barren in your land. I said
to her, I said, you don't have to worry. It's
meant to be this time, it's completely meant to be.
We have nothing to worry. About she just turned you
just literally show her the thing on the screen. Yeah,
this is what I'm reading right now. And I've just
been reading all these stories with these matriarchs who are
having a heart time conceiving or being barren suddenly being

(52:24):
able to concede because their gifts from God. And that's
the point. So, I mean, yeah, I'm a different person
than i've been, but I think for the better. And
I'm sorry you can't that is that's either like a
huge coincidence or that is a message. And I choose
to believe that it's a message.

Speaker 2 (52:38):
No, especially when you consider all the other things that
are not only within the Bible, but within the Book
of Exodus going on.

Speaker 1 (52:45):
Yeah. Right, it's kind of a busy book, so to speak.
But I really I read the line and I said
to Mark, you said, we have nothing to worry about.
This one's gonna this one? Is it? That's so cool? Man? Yeah,
so weird. It's so weird. Absolutely, So did do you?
Did you post that out too? Or are you just
telling people that No, I've told you right now. Yeah,
I mean I've told a few people that I've told

(53:05):
I have a pastor friend that lives in Fateville. I
told him, I told who else I told Harbinger and uh,
I think I don't know. I think one or two people.
I got you, but I told you.

Speaker 2 (53:21):
What was your mom's thoughts when you toldne maybe not this,
but just the baby.

Speaker 1 (53:24):
And my mom is super excited. But she's concerned for Marky,
like she's really concerned. Oh yeah, yeah, okay, because she
knows of like you know, past issues. So I'm just
concerned about the health of everybody involved. But she's so
happy to I can.

Speaker 2 (53:36):
Imagine Lincoln dude. Absolutely, man, that's dude. That's a great
story within a story too. So all the all the
funny laser jokes and all that aside that it was
just the power of all of that.

Speaker 1 (53:47):
I'm having a hard time even discussing it because, like
I said, it means so much to me. Like I
can talk about anything, and I can make jokes about anything,
but when I like feel serious and real about something,
I get to anxiety. Man, I get like breathing issues
because I get so sea.

Speaker 2 (54:02):
Especially with everything that you guys have gone through. So
all right, well, look by all means man, people are
gonna want to hear every bit of it. So like
shoehorn that baby stuff in any time, man, because I
think it also I think it also brings other people
joy even though they're not you know, it's not their baby,
so to speak. They get to live vicariously through a
lot of stuff we do on the radio, and it's

(54:23):
such a positive message. Like especially when you were just
explaining about reading scripture. Literally, that is so on point.

Speaker 1 (54:31):
It's so it's so ridiculous that, I mean, I can't
help but think that that's like a that's meant to be.

Speaker 2 (54:37):
Dude, I can't argue with you again, of all the
moments within the Bible to be reading when that happens
with everything that goes on.

Speaker 1 (54:44):
There, right, And it's like a main theme through Genesis
in the earlier books. I mean, this is the main thing.
It's just it was meant to be. There's a reason
that I woke up one day randomly and said, I'm
going to read the entire Bible.

Speaker 2 (54:53):
There is let me let me bring a racetagic into this.
H from the weather channel. So he's said standing around there,
Russell braggers again. So I don't know if you're listening
to this, No, well he's not.

Speaker 1 (55:08):
His wife is so baby number two coming in November.
Nice and the congratulations. He's already like a photo hog,
like right, this, this ultrasound photo is perfect. He's struck
like a zoolander, thumb in the mouth, pose like it's
just perfectly give.

Speaker 9 (55:26):
Us baby, like no problem, got it right, just automatic, right,
so just right.

Speaker 1 (55:33):
I just hope he's not full like the baby. We
don't know. We're not finding out. Boy boy. Yeah, let's
hope something you know.

Speaker 9 (55:45):
Yeah, okay, no, but cakes man or another bills to
deal with, right, h.

Speaker 1 (55:51):
Overall first round pick for the building. Yes, let's work
on that. Let's work. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (55:57):
So he's already ready, he's in there actually yeah.

Speaker 1 (56:03):
Right, yeah, awesome, that's good. That's nice you doing. You're
just making a rain everywhere.

Speaker 9 (56:09):
So yeah, don't see much in them. That's exactly what
I'm looking at. Five day totals through Sunday morning one
to maybe three inches four inches. I don't think we
go a day over the next four or five days
with at least some rain around the weekend does look
nice though. Temperatures will be cool today, only in the

(56:31):
sixties because of the wedge kind of the east breeze.
And we got this rain pushing through now now most
of it's light, but coming into the triangle as we
speak and try. I'd seen some moderate to heavier showers
and better than this batch, and we may get a
break at times today, but still it's going to be
damp and cool, as I said, only in the sixties,
with a breeze and some RUMs of thunder. More rain
tonight and tomorrow may taper off just a bit as

(56:54):
we go through the day to more scattered rain, and
still Thursday Friday chances of showers thunders, and then finally
if we get into the weekend, looks real nice, back
into the eighties. So let's hang on here, deal with
what's going to be a fairly damp week. Each day,
as I'd mentioned, some rain around. It'll start getting milder
by tomorrow. After today, closer to eighty tomorrow most of

(57:15):
us in the upper seventies, and then Thursday Friday near eighty,
and then the weekend maybe mid to upper eighties and
mostly sunny, and that sunshine could last into early next week.
So we get into June Sunday, first day of Atlantic
hurricane season, the weather does look pretty nice longer range,
you know, one of the models, the American model of
course down the road, trying to develop something in the

(57:37):
Gulf of Mexico.

Speaker 1 (57:38):
But it does that.

Speaker 9 (57:39):
Let's just remind everybody the GFS or the American model
during hurricane season, always long range, you're talking beyond ten days,
always tries to develop something. And to me, it's just
a little reminder that, hey, we're heading towards hurricane season.
Noah came out with their prediction last week, also predicting
a sixty percent chance of an above average season. So
let's hope we don't have much of any.

Speaker 2 (58:01):
Impact on a hog so much of the year for this,
I know you guys get what made October that feels
a little greedy?

Speaker 9 (58:08):
Well, East Pac East Pac May fifteenth. The predictions come
out obviously before June first, but June first too, Yes,
they ended the webbers the official Atlantic Hurricane season.

Speaker 1 (58:19):
Moore, you guys are hogging all the days. Sorry, right
over the middle. I don't make the rules. I don't
make the rules. Gravyre gravy training.

Speaker 2 (58:29):
All right, Well, thank you about sir doing pr all right,
coming up on the show. All right, I have to
do the Matthewstts Senator. I think because that's just so insane.
We'll chat with Cassie Clark coming up at eight oh
five about cyberstocking and swatting and all the horribleness you
hear about. Also, nothing says we're totally on your level

(58:52):
and know how to deal with you. Then having to
spend twenty million dollars to figure out how to talk
to dudes. But those are the Democrat parties and they're.

Speaker 1 (59:00):
Kind of proud of it, and I'm going to save.

Speaker 2 (59:03):
Him like twenty million more because they're probably gonna want
to do other studies because I think I think I
figured out what the problem is.

Speaker 1 (59:09):
So yes, Joe Anne, what's up?

Speaker 5 (59:12):
Well, the first thing is is that if you don't
give Ross the day off because he's going to be
a need daddy, I'm going to come over there and
who you.

Speaker 1 (59:21):
Ass I'm not. I don't control any of this.

Speaker 5 (59:25):
I don't care. Pull the strengths, do whatever you need
to do.

Speaker 1 (59:27):
There's no strings to pull. We don't there's no I
think Joe Anne brings up a good point.

Speaker 2 (59:33):
I bet you do. Yeah, and then all of a sudden,
you're going to go They're going to turn into the duggers.
You're never going to be here.

Speaker 1 (59:42):
I wanted.

Speaker 5 (59:43):
The reason I called. The reason I called was I
want it real quick, if I can just to farm
his miracle. And I just want to say I've been
in recovery for thirty two years from my addiction, and
I got got smacked and really weird. But shortly after
I got into recovery, my best friend had a friend

(01:00:04):
who I've never met, hadn't met. She was only like
twenty four years old, and she got cancer and it
was so bad that they were going to have to
do this major procedure on her called the Whipple procedure.
And I heard that and that just broke my heart
and I started really just praying for her every day,
multiple times. The dad just prayed for her. So my

(01:00:26):
best friend went to the hospital with her and her
husband for the surgery, and she promised me she would
call me as soon as she got out. So the
surgery was like nine am, and at nine forty five,
my friend rang and it was my best friend and
I said, oh my god, you're already calling me because
it's supposed to be like an eight hour procedure and

(01:00:48):
she said jah. I said, what's going on? She said, well,
they got in there and she said there's no cancer.
So I just wanted to do a farm Ross's miracle
because she, as far as I know to this day,
is one never had a return of cancer. And hang
on to that miracle off because I happened all the time.

Speaker 1 (01:01:09):
All right, I'll work on the other thing.

Speaker 5 (01:01:11):
Okay, Okay, thank you sir. All right, God Glass, have
a good day.

Speaker 1 (01:01:16):
Thank very much for the call there.

Speaker 2 (01:01:17):
So so make sure Roskeet stays off. And another very
positive story.

Speaker 1 (01:01:24):
I don't forget to pray yep. But more importantly, the
day off talk to management, gotcha? Okay, get right on that. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:01:33):
It's funny that people think that like there are strings
to pull for either of us around here.

Speaker 1 (01:01:38):
But okay, I mean they barely give us holidays off,
you know, like well you know, you know. It was
actually got me nervous.

Speaker 2 (01:01:46):
Is this is the first, like Memorial Day that you
or I haven't been asked if we're taking the day
off management.

Speaker 1 (01:01:51):
Same exact thing on Saturday. I was like, they didn't
because typically on a holiday, for some reason, they ask
us if we're going to take the holiday off.

Speaker 2 (01:01:57):
Even if it's a company holiday, which we don't. You're
in advance. Yeah, it's a calendar. Are you taking Christmas off? Like, yeah,
it's a company holiday. Of course, I'm thinking about it. Yeah,
And nobody mentioned Memorial Day. So I was waiting to get.

Speaker 1 (01:02:08):
A call on the Monday miltdown. Yeah, like where are
you guys? Yeah, dude, the same exact.

Speaker 2 (01:02:14):
I almost texted you on it, but I didn't want
to jinx in uh, and I wanted to talk about
something that way too often happens as part of various
stories that I've covered over the years, when people who
are free to disagree with each other decide they're going
to go ahead and take it up a notch, and
it manifests in very dangerous situations which have literally gotten

(01:02:36):
people killed.

Speaker 1 (01:02:38):
Where words and debate and uh, you know, normal human
discussion which can get heated at times but still needs
to really stay there within the uh, the realm of
words then gets escalated to these these these situations where
somebody says, oh, well, you know what I'm gonna do.
I'm gonna I'm gonna send a swat team to somebody's house,

(01:03:00):
and the swat.

Speaker 2 (01:03:00):
Team's going to have incorrect information. They're going to be
very heightened because they think they're there to deal with
something that they're not there to deal with, and one misunderstanding,
one wrong move can have deadly consequences, as we've seen
manifest in there is an incident in Ohio where somebody
was literally killed, and there have been others, and we
call it swatting, but it's part of a larger issue.

(01:03:23):
And to discuss that larger issue is Cassie Clark, who
she's got some opinions online. You've probably seen her at
the Dogwood Blooms is her Twitter handle, but usually it
manifests around pizza and the pronunciation of certain nuts that
go into dessert pies, but sometimes it goes beyond that,

(01:03:44):
and she was actually testifying at the General Assembly here
about a week ago. So Cassie, good morning to you.
How are you doing.

Speaker 7 (01:03:52):
I'm good?

Speaker 5 (01:03:52):
How are you?

Speaker 1 (01:03:54):
I'm good.

Speaker 2 (01:03:54):
But I also nobody's ever sent a swat team to
my house, So there's that.

Speaker 1 (01:03:59):
That's good.

Speaker 2 (01:04:00):
Now, when you're when you're online, you're debating somebody over
mustard or vinegar based barbecue or pecan pecan pronunciations, which,
by the way, which is it.

Speaker 5 (01:04:10):
It's p p can.

Speaker 2 (01:04:12):
Okay, you never thought a pecan person needed a swat
team at.

Speaker 1 (01:04:15):
Their house, right, that's never they just need educated.

Speaker 2 (01:04:20):
So but we've seen, especially as it surrounded a lot
of like the Heleene debate, we've seen some pretty high
profile incidents with people who've played a big part of
that discussion, people like Matt van Swoall and various others.
So talk about some of the incidents that we've seen
here lately and why you were called to the capitol

(01:04:42):
essentially to to talk to elected officials.

Speaker 7 (01:04:46):
So over the past year, I myself have been cyrus
thought multiple times. And we all know what it's like
to deal with a troll, right Like, usually they'll throw
out a few you know, nasty con and then you
block them and they go away. But that's not always
the case. And I personally have been cyberstalked on three

(01:05:09):
different occasions, and one of those was by an extreme
left group, another time was by an extreme right group.
And now I have an individual who has relentlessly targeted
me for over a year, and to me, that's just
absolutely insane. And what's even worse is a lot of
these attacks are unsolding because I'm not overly political. My

(01:05:31):
focus is culture and occasionally I address issues that intersect
with politics, because politics stems from culture, right, and so
the harassment that I face is always consistently driven by
political motives. In one of these instances, private discussions were

(01:05:51):
had about how to deal with me. Participants in that
discussion were sending me screenshots of what was going on
in these private I've had my business paperwork leaked online,
just all kinds of crazy things that I've experienced. And
some of these people who've gone after me what makes

(01:06:13):
it even worse. One of them was a former North
Carolina Democrat candidate and a pack owner who was spreading
lives about me to intimidate and harass me. Right now,
there's a North Carolina district vice chair who is engaging
in similar tactics about me. And these individuals wheeled real power,
and they're targeting North Carolina citizens. And so after hearing

(01:06:38):
about Matt van Swald, there was actually a guy who
was shot during the swatting incident in Cherokee County. And
after all of this, I decided I can't put up
with it anymore, like this is not okay. And so
I went to Raleigh and I sat down with some
of our reps and I let them know what was
going on, because if they don't do something, this is

(01:06:59):
just to escalate.

Speaker 1 (01:07:01):
Well, and so let me let me start with the
what do they do?

Speaker 2 (01:07:04):
Because I think a lot of us look at the
swatting where they send a swat team to the house
and people.

Speaker 1 (01:07:08):
Go, well, the swat team should know that's not.

Speaker 2 (01:07:11):
Real, and yeah, I think it's definitely on their radar
that it's not real. But when they get a call
and that somebody's saying that they just murdered their spouse
or they murdered their kids, and now they're hold up
and they're going to murder the kids now, or they're
going to murder the spouse whoever was not previously murdered.
Police are going to roll on that, right because they

(01:07:31):
don't want an incident where they ignore it and then
God forbid something happen. So people will go, well, yeah,
they should know, but also what do you want them
to do? And I guess my question is in an
incident like that, how do you how do you think
police should handle it? Knowing that if they just blow
them off, eventually they're going to ignore something bad. But
simultaneously there's the possibility homeowner doesn't understand who's outside their

(01:07:53):
door screaming at him. They grab a firearm, just thinking
they need to protect themselves and before the police they
can identified it's the police. Something bad happened. So where
where is the line there? What do you think departments
need to do?

Speaker 10 (01:08:06):
Well?

Speaker 7 (01:08:06):
I definitely think that we need harsh punishment for that,
right because to me, that's a tempted murder. And so
when I went I actually went to the magistrate over
one of these instances where I've been harassed, and I.

Speaker 5 (01:08:19):
Let them know, hey, I'm being harassed.

Speaker 7 (01:08:21):
I went through the entire thing, get to the very end,
and he's like, well, we can press charges, but this
person has gone to the court in five different counties
here in North Carolina and gotten away with it every
single time. And so that shocked me. And he was like,
you can press charges, but if you do, chances are
they're going to win and they're going to have even
more of your information. Do you really want that out there?

(01:08:44):
And so I elected not to. But I also went
to the police department and I let them know, hey,
I'm finding myself in this situation. I have friends who
are having you know, PISA consistently sent to their houses,
they've been swatted. I want to let you guys know
what's going on, so hopefully we can come up with
a plan if someone tries to do this to me.
And I was told that there was nothing that they

(01:09:05):
could do.

Speaker 2 (01:09:07):
Well, explain the pizza things. People hear the like, why
is Cassie mad about free pizza?

Speaker 1 (01:09:11):
But it's not about the stuff. It's not right, it's
not free.

Speaker 7 (01:09:14):
Yeah, right, First of all, it's not free pizza. People
are sending pizza to other people's houses and sometimes this.

Speaker 5 (01:09:21):
Will go on for hours.

Speaker 7 (01:09:22):
They'll call all the different pizza delivery places in the
town that will deliver to a specific address. They don't
pay for it, and so you're hurting the business and
hurting the homeowner because really the intention of that is
to send a message, hey, we know where you live, right,
And so they will send these over and over again
for days at a time. And that's the whole point

(01:09:43):
behind it, right, is to intimidate people. And really the
whole purpose of all of this is to intimidate people
into silence. That's what these groups are trying to do.

Speaker 1 (01:09:53):
Yeah, and doing it is worse for women.

Speaker 5 (01:10:00):
I think that.

Speaker 7 (01:10:00):
So statistically speaking, this type of thing happens to women
at a higher rate, So more than fifty percent of
the people who are stalked are women. I am personally,
you know, hillbilly, so I think that I handle it
a little bit better than some others.

Speaker 5 (01:10:19):
My instinct is to fight back.

Speaker 7 (01:10:21):
And I married a great guy who is all about
looking out for me and protecting our family. But yeah,
I think that for us, especially if you have something
like me. I have PPSD, and so it can be stressful.
I mean, I've had to go back to the doctor
and get put back on meds. And I was doing great.
I had stopped taking my meds before interviews, and I

(01:10:42):
had stopped using it for spaces. I was in a
really good place, and then all of this happened, and
now all of a sudden, I'm going through the pts
the motions again.

Speaker 1 (01:10:51):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:10:52):
So, uh, it's one thing when the person's in the country,
like you're talking about. And by the way, I don't
even know who this's congressional candidates, and it's probably one
of three names that are in my head right now
because there's some there's some doozies that are former candidates
who we've had on this show.

Speaker 1 (01:11:08):
Who are just insane. And but that.

Speaker 2 (01:11:10):
Being said, it's one thing when the person's here, let
alone in North Carolina, but even in the US because
a lot of time, a lot of these swatting incidents,
it's somebody over in like Ukraine or something, or you know,
and there's a sheer impossibility. So it blows me away that, like,
you can not only identify who this person is, but
you can provide examples, and there's nothing to go with.

(01:11:32):
So the lawmakers who are sympathetic to this, what do
they think needs to be done?

Speaker 7 (01:11:37):
So I'm not sure what roads they're going to go
down in order to solve this problem.

Speaker 5 (01:11:43):
But the response I.

Speaker 7 (01:11:45):
Got was incredible and it was bipartisan, which is even better.
So they're currently aware of the issues and they're interested
in doing something about it. And so I have spoken
to a lobbyist who focuses on domestic violence, and of
course stalking falls under domestic violence, and she has been

(01:12:06):
absolutely incredible, and she is offered to be the middle
man and go between for me and you know, our representatives.

Speaker 2 (01:12:16):
Yeah, but you know, it's one thing to be sympathetic.
We just saw an incident too where you know a
lot of it gets into the dog whistle stuff, and
we saw what happened up in DC. I'm sure you're
aware of last week we had two people murdered at
this event at the Jewish Museum up there. And then
everyone wants to pretend like there's not vitriol out there

(01:12:37):
that may have contributed to something like this. Do you
think the vitriol played in I'm mean asking you to
get a little political here, but this is what we're
talking about.

Speaker 1 (01:12:46):
Do you think.

Speaker 2 (01:12:47):
Vitriol within the debate over Israel Gaza was a contributing
factor to that shooting? In your opinion, even in a
layman's opinion, doubt?

Speaker 1 (01:12:56):
What's that?

Speaker 7 (01:12:58):
Without a doubt?

Speaker 5 (01:12:59):
Absolutely?

Speaker 7 (01:13:01):
I mean every day right it Truly, some of the
things that I've seen online have shocked me. I guess
that was kind of naive before I got on X
and started getting big. I never would have believed that
there were people who truly were anti Semites, Like I
had no idea that was out there until I started
seeing it online.

Speaker 2 (01:13:20):
Yeah, and so you see that, and you see the
cold the contribution to that, but which you don't see
are people that are willing to go all right, we
got to tone down the rhetoric. Instead, we'll wait for
somebody like Sarah Palin to put a congressional map out
and be like this is the end, all, this is
the worst. Or Trump says something or a Democrat says something,
and and and then people are like, all right, well,

(01:13:41):
you know anything, there's no rules, anything goes and I
can go ahead and hit around the edges. But when
it actually comes to fruition, like there's no introspection on this.
I didn't see anyone else and and people could correct
me if I'm wrong, Like I didn't see people going,
you know what, maybe college cans, you know, the burning

(01:14:02):
of the Jews in effigy, Maybe that doesn't have a
place here. So how do you walk that fine line
between people are entitled to have opinions on what's going
on between Israel and Gaza, and they're titled to have
opinions on how pecan pacan is pronounced. They're titled to
have opinions on anything. So you don't want to stifle
the ability to do that. So we have to figure out, okay, well,

(01:14:23):
when does even have an opinion that may give permission
to somebody else to go ahead and do one of
these things even if yourself are not doing it. How
do you crack down on that without styming free speech?

Speaker 7 (01:14:36):
I think I'll like the libertarian stance on this, and
their stance is when you cross over into harming someone else,
that there is the point that.

Speaker 2 (01:14:47):
Right, But what if I just go, well, if somebody
else did get harmed, they kind of have it coming,
but I'm not going to harm them, because I think
that's a lot of people's take where they're not actually
going to go out and do it, but they'll say
things like, you know, wouldn't it be cool if somebody
did do this to Cassie and and I think that's
where you start waiting into dangerous territory.

Speaker 5 (01:15:07):
I think at that.

Speaker 7 (01:15:08):
Point you're in some cases you're probably inciting violence, right.
I mean, for me, I have no problem. If you,
you know, are screaming into the void talking ugly about me,
feel free. I've probably had worse said.

Speaker 5 (01:15:21):
About me, right.

Speaker 7 (01:15:22):
I think the point comes is when my business paperwork
was leaked and I realized, oh.

Speaker 5 (01:15:29):
My gosh, this person is.

Speaker 7 (01:15:30):
Actually trying to see something bad done to me. That
was the point for me where I was like, Okay,
this is crossing into a territory where we're no longer
talking about free speech. We're talking about you're trying to
put out information that could lead to me being swatted.
You're putting out information where I could be stalked in
real life and I have kids at home. I mean

(01:15:53):
that's completely unacceptable. Now you're walking that fine line of
this is no longer just free speech. This is you
putting out information where you're hoping someone is going to
harm me.

Speaker 1 (01:16:05):
Yeah, no, I hear you there.

Speaker 2 (01:16:07):
But what was First of all, what did they get?
They get a hold of something that frankly was public
or not public, I mean expressing the surroundings of that.

Speaker 7 (01:16:17):
So when you file for an LLC in North Carolina,
guess that is public information?

Speaker 5 (01:16:23):
Now?

Speaker 7 (01:16:23):
Why that is public information? After this was leaked, I
was wondering, why why do we have this information public?
Especially in the political clime that we live in today.
I mean, we have people who are setting fire to
Tesla dealerships, right, we have people who are who are
gunning people down because they don't agree with their their

(01:16:43):
political ideology or religion. Like this is dangerous. So I
would like to see, you know, perhaps our reps consider
taking our private information more seriously, I think that Matt
van Wall was docks with his voting information, yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:17:04):
Which is you can't see how people voted, but you
can see whether they voted or not. And what's crazy
is like there are some packs out there that will
send the emails to people going, hey, we saw that
you only voted in two of the last three cycles.
Would it be a shame if your family found out
about that? I mean, really like integrating it into mainstream stuff,
and it's all just so creepy.

Speaker 7 (01:17:24):
Oh, it's very creepy. And to me, it's even worse
when you start talking about people go off the deep
end when it comes to politics, right, and we're seeing
that very specifically happening. I want to say, what probably
in the twenty tens or so, and so people are
targeting one another off politics and me I'm kind of moderate,

(01:17:47):
you know, and so I'm target of both sides.

Speaker 1 (01:17:51):
I mean that's terrifying, yeah, or no sides at all.

Speaker 5 (01:17:54):
All.

Speaker 1 (01:17:54):
Right, Well, we're gonna have to leave it therecase. They
got about thirty seconds.

Speaker 2 (01:17:56):
So at Dogwood Blooms, right, I want to say where
the Dogwood blooms, But that's the name of your blog.
But I had dog with blooms. I want to follow
you on the Twitter, and they should do that. And
and for the most part it is it's it's pecan
pecan and barbecue and culture and fun stuff. But boy
when it when it gets over to the other side,
he gets nasty real quick. All right, Cassie, I appreciate

(01:18:17):
it this morning. I have yourself a good one.

Speaker 7 (01:18:19):
Okay, awesome, thinks sir.

Speaker 1 (01:18:21):
Yep.

Speaker 2 (01:18:21):
All right, there you go, Cassie Clark, you follow on
Twitter all that good stuff. We will take a break
and be right back do do. All right, a couple
of things that we need to get to.

Speaker 1 (01:18:34):
What is this people are asking me? I don't have.

Speaker 2 (01:18:39):
I do not know the answer that, sir, enough Cassie
would know that either what is the percentage of Republican
versus Democrat with sway?

Speaker 1 (01:18:48):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (01:18:50):
I do know that I see it happening when it's
politically based. I see a lot of stories, but that
might be confirmation biased, just because it's normally the sources
that I look at, and you know, I'm sure it
does have it back and forth. But I will tell
you that when I see it in the news, it
seems to be getting rid of the video game based stuff,
which I don't know how much politics is there, but

(01:19:12):
I see things that look politically motivated. It does seem
to outsize one side doing it versus the other, but
I don't have any comprehensive data on that. And again,
which was crazy about with the Cassie side of it,
is like it's they know who the people are. With
a lot of these, you don't know who it is.

(01:19:33):
You kind of know where they're coming from, but you
don't know exactly who it is.

Speaker 1 (01:19:36):
And so to know.

Speaker 2 (01:19:40):
Where some of it may be emanating from because people
are absolute lunatics and will own it, and then there's
still not to be recourse on it. That's where things
get crazy, especially when you have so many people within
the political realm who want to nanny state everything you do.
And yet still because people that almost give permission with

(01:20:02):
the way that they approach things from the political spectrum.
Case in point, we had a Maschusetts State senator who's
got some new, some big ideas and on how she
can control your life. And I kid you not, this
is so this is the bill, that's the legislation that
she's introduced. Let's see what is this what is this

(01:20:25):
senator name? Senator Cynthia Cream. I don't wanna, I don't
want to broad brush this, but like, this's that sounds
like a nineties Milf adult film star.

Speaker 1 (01:20:46):
Am I right? Ross? Am I wrong? On this? Cynthia Cream?
I was in somebody sent me a pizza. I've been
enjoying it. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:20:53):
By the way, Ross has a bunch of pizzas, now, like.

Speaker 1 (01:20:57):
Seven of them. Dude, they might you know what it is,
baby pizza? It's like, is that what you think it is? Yeah? Baby?

Speaker 3 (01:21:02):
You know.

Speaker 1 (01:21:03):
So I'm loading the audio this morning for this woman
from Massachusetts, the state senator, and I'm writing the description
of her name. I'm like, what is her name? And
I read her name, I'm like, you've got to be
kidding me.

Speaker 2 (01:21:13):
Really, that's sounds like somebody who hangs out hangs out
of the AVIN Awards with Alexis Texas, right, you know
which I think is somebody's name.

Speaker 1 (01:21:23):
I'm not sure. I didn't look it up. I don't
know who that is. That a senator from Texas? Yeah,
maybe that might she might be a Texas senator. We
don't know.

Speaker 2 (01:21:31):
Yeah, that's that sounds like somebody who started in the
nineties and now it's getting.

Speaker 1 (01:21:35):
Digital and she's really lost in it.

Speaker 2 (01:21:36):
And she's okay doing the mill theme stuff, but the
guilt stuff is just a bridge too far for her,
right because that's that's personally going to be so as
someone assaulting for some actresses. So anyway, Senator Cynthia Kream
has has some thoughts and they all involve micromanaging your life.

Speaker 1 (01:21:56):
Check this out.

Speaker 10 (01:21:58):
Vehicle miles traveled in message.

Speaker 11 (01:22:00):
Saying that electric vehicles aren't enough to reach the net
zero carbon mandate by twenty fifty. Eighty two year old
State Senator Cynthia Cream has introduced a bill that would
keep track and limit the number of miles you drive
with your vehicle.

Speaker 10 (01:22:15):
Now's the time to pursue new strategies additional strategies for
reducing transportation emission.

Speaker 11 (01:22:21):
The bill establishes a panel that will be responsible for
creating fines and penalties if you go above the limit.

Speaker 10 (01:22:28):
Would require the come most transportation investment plans to provide
a reasonable pathway to compliance with our emissional.

Speaker 12 (01:22:36):
Limits, mileage vouchers.

Speaker 10 (01:22:38):
To promote alternative modes of transportation like public transit, biking, walking.

Speaker 1 (01:22:43):
Have you learned how to write a bike him.

Speaker 10 (01:22:44):
Thinking about our future needs for transportation options other than
cause we have to walk.

Speaker 11 (01:22:50):
The legislation like this is a clear indication that it's
pastime for Cynthia Creams, you retire and take up a hobby.

Speaker 1 (01:22:59):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:23:00):
By the way, where she says, cause too is just
is a thousand percent more annoying to So look, man,
I understand that generalation. Generationally, most people of your age
never traveled with outside forty miles where they were born.
It was just the way things were done when we
were settling in the prairie and all that. But shut up,

(01:23:21):
we're gonna we're gonna put a registry together. And if
you drive too many miles, well, how does that work?
If you get if you live in the in the
center of the like Boston or whatever, and everything's right
around fine, But you know there's other parts of Massachusets
where you gotta drive a little ways, and how does
that work in other states like I don't know, Wyoming,
where everything is is forever away. You just got you're

(01:23:46):
just gonna have to turn to nature and you know,
harvest the animals of the earth.

Speaker 1 (01:23:50):
Shut up.

Speaker 2 (01:23:52):
Eighty two years old, what did your wagon team. Did
those miles count against or it's it only for your vehicle?
It is very unclear here. And of course he's from Massachusetts,
so she could be equal parts annoying and have bad ideas,
but also be very difficult to listen to and probably
a Patriots fan now that I think about it.

Speaker 1 (01:24:14):
So strike number two.

Speaker 2 (01:24:15):
All right, So we got that insanity, but we got
some local insanity too.

Speaker 1 (01:24:21):
And you know, one of the people we've.

Speaker 2 (01:24:23):
Talked about on the show here over the years is
the Reverend William Barber, sometimes refer to him as Senator sole.

Speaker 1 (01:24:30):
Glow, the Bufface Layer, who, of.

Speaker 2 (01:24:32):
Course, when he was not antagonizing people in North Carolina
by committing acts of social disobedience that he then never
wanted him or his followers to actually be held accountable for,
which defeats the whole purpose. Right, you do this thing
because you believe so passionately in this thing that you're
willing to face the consequences. Yet he constructed a perfect

(01:24:54):
system where they could go and he could, you know,
shut down the ability of the North Carolina llegen to
do things be hauled away in an ambulance because that's
the only way to get him out of there, and
then he and hundreds of supporters basically have their cases
thrown out because the whole thing is just it's just
insane bias that goes up in there, and the judiciary

(01:25:15):
is fine to sit there and throw January six people
into the tombs, yet never hold accountable people who are
literally doing the.

Speaker 1 (01:25:23):
Insurrection within our own state capitol.

Speaker 2 (01:25:26):
Wildly frustrated, and then because he was so good at it,
he was given this national seat of prominence with this
Poor People's Campaign or whatever it's called, so he could
go do it on a national level, and do you know,
combination of souls to the polls, rallying with race bating
politics and just all the horribleness out there, and the
entire time people are like, man, I want what's this

(01:25:49):
guy's why?

Speaker 1 (01:25:51):
What's the grift? Man?

Speaker 2 (01:25:53):
And when people would suggest it might be the money,
they were essentially told to know that he's just so
passionate about it. Well, according to his ex wife, it
might be the money. Yeah, So this story getting buried
on the Friday going into Memorial Day weekend, William J. Boba,
the former head of the North Carolina NAACP, and that

(01:26:13):
leads a national nonprofit volts focused on economic and racial justice,
has been accused of redirecting funds from that group for
alimony payments and other personal issues. I will say this,
I've heard some stories over the years, first person accounts
of interactions with William Barber, in one case by a

(01:26:34):
female news reporter, news anchor that frankly, they didn't want
to go, they didn't want to get they didn't want
to go on the record for whatever reason. But the story,
the story was communicated to me by this individual. And
let's just say that there was an era where this
would have been the downfall if it were true. And

(01:26:54):
I have no reason to think the person wasn't telling
me a true story. They had nothing to gain from it.
They never pursued it in any monetary way. They shared
a story about a situation and a very uncomfortable situation
that transpire between them allegedly and William Barber. Let's just

(01:27:14):
say it was a female news reporter whose name you
would know, and leave it at that. If they want
to tell that story publicly, they're welcome to. So this
is coming in this case from his ex wife, So
you know, take that for what it's worth. Sometimes this
stuff gets nasty, but some very specific allegations.

Speaker 1 (01:27:33):
Having to do with the finances that.

Speaker 2 (01:27:36):
Frankly, I you know, maybe it's true, maybe it's not.
Now Barber's lawyer, they have weighed in on this.

Speaker 12 (01:27:43):
We believe the claims were filed for the sole purpose
of gaining a tactical advantage in his pending property division
litigation with his former spouse.

Speaker 2 (01:27:55):
Okay, all right, which, by the way, very well.

Speaker 1 (01:27:58):
Could be the case.

Speaker 2 (01:27:59):
These things get nasked, right, people lying on you know,
especially like kids custody stuff gets so nasty where you know,
people will go out in the file restraining orders saying
that they're they're abusing them the or the kids, and
they're doing it to go ahead and get an upper
hand there. But this is about division of assets. And
the one thing that nobody seems to disagree with is
William Barber's gotten very rich doing this. Dude has made

(01:28:23):
bank or at least his nonprofits have. And uh, you know,
when you're traveling all around your high profile, you're getting
some pretty significant speaking fees. Like it's understandable, but you know,
sometimes that still doesn't cover at all, especially when you're
purporting to be from the poor people's campaign. Just literally
what it's called a jet setting might rub some people

(01:28:47):
the wrong way. Specifically, though, this allegation surrounds the nonprofit,
a Goldsborough based group called Repairers of the Breach, and
they want have brought into litigation over distribution, saying that
millions of dollars in assets reported by the group should
be fair game for her to take as part of
the divorce. Now, this is where it gets complicated, because

(01:29:11):
if it is all for the nonprofit, and while he
may control the business itself, it's not necessarily his money.
It becomes something else entirely if you're using it to
essentially fund your lifestyle, because now it's it looks like
it's more of like a shell corporation kind of thing,

(01:29:31):
So it will be interested interesting. Rebecca Barber claims rex
husband quote maintains de facto control over the financial accounts,
suggesting that it's being used as an instrument of his
personal financial affairs.

Speaker 1 (01:29:46):
So we'll be paying attention to this for sure, for sure.

Speaker 2 (01:29:49):
All right eight forty six Ray Stagic from the Weather
Channel here he wants you to pay attention to weather because.

Speaker 1 (01:29:54):
There's a little bit of it and it's going to
be with you most of the week.

Speaker 9 (01:29:59):
Yeah, rain out there now east of I ninety five
is where it's just crossing, so from the triangle of
the Triad. Even some heavier rain showers now are steadier
rain coming through bright Wood and Brown Summit Stokesdale as
we get out tour to Guildford County, so just drives carefully.
The rain's gonna slows down this morning, and we may

(01:30:21):
even get a little more rain into the afternoon, maybe
rumble of thunder and a very cool day. We're kind
of wedged in casey, so many of us not getting
out of the sixties today and maybe even the low sixties,
and then tonight occasional rain, some more rain around tomorrow.
I think a lot of it will start becoming more
scattered as the morning progresses Tomorrow, even a few thunderstorms.
So really I think today we get the most widespread,

(01:30:41):
steady rain. Tomorrow, midupper seventies. It's still Thursday, Friday, some showers,
thunder showers around. I think we're gonna reset. This is
the way it looks for the weekend. Finally get a
front through to get us out of this. I think
we're back into sunshine and mild weather into the eighties
for Saturdays Sunday, and even tried to take a sneak
peek ahead early next week. Looks pretty nice too, So
kind of predy here this week, but better days ahead,

(01:31:02):
especially by the weekend.

Speaker 2 (01:31:03):
Okay, thank you, sir, appreciate it, and we'll come back
with Jeff Bellinger next. Hang on now with Jeff Bellinger. Jeff,
what's happening?

Speaker 1 (01:31:10):
Well, Good morning, casey.

Speaker 6 (01:31:11):
President Trump may have helped to set the stage for
a Wall Street rebound when the market's reopen after the
long holiday weekend. The President has said he will hold
off on new European Union tariffs until July ninth. Stocks
moved lower on Friday after the tariffs were first announced,
but the futures have been solidly higher all morning.

Speaker 1 (01:31:31):
A Now, futures are.

Speaker 6 (01:31:32):
Up four hundred and fifty five points. Economists think we
will hear there's been a modest pickup in consumer confidence
over the last month. The Conference Board will release its
new reading after the market's open this morning, just about an.

Speaker 1 (01:31:44):
Hour from now.

Speaker 6 (01:31:45):
A tech sector deal was just announced this morning, Salesforce
buying the software solutions provider in Formatica. It's a transaction
valued at about eight billion dollars. This is the last
day Southwest Airlines passengers. At least most passengers will be
able to check two bags for free. The carrier will
charge starting tomorrow for checked luggage. The Wall Street Journal

(01:32:08):
says the first checked bag will cost thirty five dollars.
A second will cost forty five. Customers using the Southwest
credit card and those with Elite.

Speaker 1 (01:32:17):
Status will not have to pay the fees.

Speaker 6 (01:32:19):
If you have young children in your household, you likely
know the TV series Coco Melon is incredibly popular with preschoolers,
and that show will be moving from Netflix to Disney
Plus in a couple of years. Sources say Disney struck
a deal to take the streaming rights away from Netflix
and twenty twenty seven. Terms of that deal were not disclosed.

(01:32:40):
And it was a record setting Memorial Day weekend for
the nation's movie theater's case the Wall's Disney remake of Lee,
Lo and Stitch was the number one movie. comScore estimates
the film took in one hundred eighty three million dollars.
Mission Impossible The Final Reckoning took second place with ticket
sales of more than seventy seven million dollars.

Speaker 1 (01:33:00):
Casey so when it's a remake of a movie that's
not even that older. I know, apparently I was.

Speaker 6 (01:33:06):
I had not heard of Leelo and Stitch, and I said,
it's a remake, and someone said, yeah, there was another.

Speaker 2 (01:33:10):
One, so okay, and then another the kids show about
a talking melon or something.

Speaker 6 (01:33:15):
Right, Yeah, I've got to confess I had never heard
of cocoa melon until this morning.

Speaker 1 (01:33:21):
When the story.

Speaker 2 (01:33:22):
I have a feeling that's probably for the best, because
those tens get a little annoying. So all right, well, Jeff,
do appreciate it, Thank you very much.

Speaker 1 (01:33:30):
Okay, have a great day, take care. There you go,
Jeff Bellinger, Bloomberg News. Is it a talking melon? It's
probably not right. No, they're like babies. They're like cartoon babies.
Are they the annoying baby video? Kids keep showing up
on Twitter their songs, like they have like specific songs
that are very popular, but like Lelo and Stitch they
had their own ride at Disney World, like Magic Kingdom.

Speaker 2 (01:33:49):
Yeah, I've heard of Leelo and Stitch and so like
when they're doing like you're doing redos and stuff that
I was too old for even at the time.

Speaker 1 (01:33:55):
So that makes me feel extra old. It's like the
live action thing now. I mean, I don't know how
old that movie is. It's got to be like twenty
years old or something. It's pretty old.

Speaker 2 (01:34:03):
I just remember watching a dude vandalize at Tesla in
a pair of pajama pants with them on.

Speaker 1 (01:34:08):
There's a controversy though with that movie. With the live
action movie, they've of course, they sort of woke ified
the ending of the movie, okay, destroying the entire theme
of the original movie. Maybe we can talk to Steven
about on Thursday.

Speaker 2 (01:34:22):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, you'll probably have it. You'll have
a little more on this stuff. So and I'll ask

AT and T or AT and T excuse me, Apple TV.

Speaker 1 (01:34:33):
But I don't know what the hell that thing was
supposed to be. It was pretty awful though. All Right.

Speaker 2 (01:34:38):
A couple things real quick, pretty quick here. If you
go down to Australian and get attacked by a gang
of ruse, you're not.

Speaker 1 (01:34:44):
Going to be able to defend yourself.

Speaker 2 (01:34:47):
Because apparently they're getting ready to outlaw machetes in Australia,
which kills me. Because what's one of the most famous
things that we know about the Australian experience, their perceived
superiority on what is a knife and what is not
a knife?

Speaker 1 (01:35:07):
Right, very famous. That's not a knife, this is a knife. Right.

Speaker 2 (01:35:11):
Can you imagine if Crocodile Dundee was not able to
utter that iconic line in the movie, Well, pretty quick,
that's that's where we're gonna be
