Episode Transcript

(00:00):
Yep, yep. Yeah, fourday work week. We are digging on
that. Hope everyone had a safeand productive Memorial Day weekend. Hopefully you
put a little time out of yourday or I guess you're uh your weekend
too. You know, properly,I don't mean by a mattress, you

(00:25):
know, properly reflect on what itis we're talking about here. And you
know I would say I get tornon stuff, and I want to I
want to draw a dividing line here. I think that one of the things
like we can all we can allreflect if we're honest with ourselves. When

(00:50):
you know, sometimes we do thingsand it might not be the most effective
way of doing things. This willirritate some of you, but that's fine.
I especially in our current political environment, I feel like we are ramped
up to an eleven when it comesto dunking on people. That don't get

(01:11):
me wrong. We do some dunkinghere on the show, the regular dunk
contests around this place. Ross,I'm Muggsy Bogues in the dut Dunk contest,
going a little old school. Idon't know who you want to be.
I'll let you choose, but andI get it, but you know,
Memorial Day is one of the timesof the year when I see something

(01:36):
that I think is really not helpfulin all instances, but legitimate in some,
Okay, and that is when somebodyposts an innocuous thank you to all
of our service members who have served, and I know what you're saying.

(01:59):
That's Veterans Day, not Memorial Day. Can you tell that person that without
screaming at him like a lunatic,because I see that crap on social media
and I'm just like, this isnot helpful. The other one is the
constitutional Republic. I get it,I get it, I get it.

(02:22):
I don't know that you're making anyfriends doing that. However, when it's
a member of Congress, give itto them, right. There's if you
decide you're going to serve in Congress. I know you're busy with your junket
trips and your payoffs, I meancontributions, you know, just just running

(02:47):
around and thinking the rest of usrubes. Not all of you, but
a lot of you, because I'vebeen around you and it is an attitude
that permeates. So oh, justyou know, just one of those little
observations, little some I think.I try to point it out every year
when I see it, right,educate people, tell them, hey,

(03:07):
no, this is actually this isfor people who have died in service to
this country, and maybe invite himto do something. I don't know,
come over to your barbecue so youcan talk to them, or if you're
going to one of the many,many, many events that are out there,
invite them along. But it's okay, man, well baby steps little

(03:29):
thing, you know why? Becausethe one thing I think, and I
saw some of this up of theBronx rally. I don't know if you're
signing these videos where you have peoplescreaming at each other from both sides of
the street, and yet I sawsome dudes who were on the side that
were mad at the Trump people.And there's a video of this one.

(03:53):
I don't know who the reporter is, but or reporter, content creator or
whatever it is, but she basicallysays, why don't you come up across
the street and talk to him?And you could tell the dude isn't really
hesitant, but you've seen these thingsplay out. They go over there and
it's, uh, he's a blackdude, and he's just like, I
don't see any of me over here, and then like everyone is just very

(04:15):
welcoming. They're talking and you couldsee that there's a real inner conflict.
But then he suggests that, youknow, if people are wanting to have
a legitimate conversation, they'll do justfine across the street. And so then

(04:35):
they take a trump person. Iguess, you know, just going back
to the Bronx rally. I justhadn't seen this video yet. Walk uh
walk him across the street. Itdoes not go well at all, Like
there's not a moment where they're notwanting to actively murder this person. And

(04:58):
that was the seemingly the lynchpin inthis guy's head where he's just like,
I'm on the wrong side of thestreet. Man. So you know,
it's what your mom said, youknow, uh uh huh, catch sugar
whatever. I can't remember the sameyou you get it though, your mom
said a lot of stuff. Letme ask you this. Did your mom
ever meet one of your friends andsay I don't want you hanging out with

(05:24):
that boy, girl? Whatever itis, Ro's that never happened to you?
Your parents ever meet one of yourfriends? Yeah, buddy over from
school, big Tony big Well,dude, he's got a mob name.
That's what my dad said. Well, I'm good, good, I'm glad
that they were vigilant. Parents reallyhad to dig deep on that, all

(05:46):
right. So he brought Big Tonyover. What were you guys gonna do?
Go selluh what tax free cigarettes?I mean, what were you guys
doing? Yeah, I know hewas an entrepreneur. You would think your
parents would want you to be aroundsome use business. Mine dead. Yeah,
but it'll be quick. It'll betwo to the heart, one to

(06:06):
the head or whatever it is.Come on, man, you were just
going to get canoli's. I don'tunderstand what the problem is, all right,
but that happened, right, doyou do? You know they just
said that. Do you think they'reconcern might have been either the possibility that
you end up as an earner forthe mob or that perhaps your friend Willet.

(06:30):
I'm sorry what it never made anysense because they're like, you need
to get a job. You shouldget a job, you know, you
should get a shit, right,bringing Big Tony over and all suddenly like
getting a job is a bad thing. Yeah, you were getting a job
in the cab, stand right,right, Yeah, just running errands,
dropping stuff off. What's a youknow, that's that's a good entry level
job. You're a utility man,and then eventually you can move on to

(06:54):
other things, you know, likegardening with really big bulbs. You got
a plant. I only say thisbecause there is a very interesting story in
the stack today. I don't knowhow this happens, although the internet does
because conspiracies. Do you think thatpossibly your mom's concern was that Big Tony

(07:17):
would I don't know, accidentally getyou involved in a failed coup? I
mean that, No, that wouldnever happen. Uh, all right,
but Russia being ridiculous, Russa's thingslike that can't happen, except it might
have happened. Yes, So somedude, some American was captured as part

(07:48):
of a failed coup over in Africa, and his parents are like, we
thought he was. He was goingon to senior trip. He was with
some friends, and then all ofa sudden we see him on the TV
getting arrested and beaten up pretty goodby soldiers who he just tried to coup

(08:09):
against. Now, just to beClaire Ross, you've never been involved in
a failed coup, right I havenot? Okay, neither of I because
poverty right there, right, wecan agree failure in general, right,
yeah, yeah, yeah, Lookrule number one, never join a doomed
or failed coup, right. Andif you can't even get that right,

(08:30):
then I don't know what I'm gonnado for you. But as you can
imagine, and I'll give you thedetails of the story coming up here.
Yeah, some people have some thoughtsand theories and stuff, and I don't
not look not everything is CIA program. Sometimes people are dumb. Remember the
Remember the kid from California decided hewas going to go join with al Qaeda,

(08:56):
Right, Remember how crazy that wasduring the early days of the war.
Well we got a version of that. Plus we will dunk on members
of Congress who don't know, althoughI have a reason that Rashida Telie may
not know and Elon Omar why theywould conflate the service of all members of
the military with those who gave theirlives. If you are going to go

(09:22):
speak at an event that is beingput on by an organization that is literally
on the terrorist list and is knownto give materials support and perhaps even more
to the Al qaedas the ICE iskind of folks of the world, I

(09:43):
understand why you get confused, becauseif you know, if your soldiers are
all suicide bombers, they're one andthe same. Do you know what I'm
saying? A martyrs and martyrs andmartyrs. So like that's the that is
as far as I can go todefend them having to post and then all

(10:03):
of them delete from the squad minusAOC the same, wildly incorrect what it
means from Memorial Day. And againthey're members of Congress, they have no
excuse. So yeah, failed coups. Trump's visit to the Libertarian conference that
went well or maybe it did,depending on your perspective, And just a

(10:26):
bunch of insanity from over the longweekend. Oh and we have we unfortunately,
we have some some folks. We'lldo a little in memoriam. Okay,
yeah, yeah, yeah, Sowe'll tell you who what's up,
and we'll get into it next KCODay Radio program six twenty three Here on

(10:46):
the KCO Day Radio Program, Tuesdayedition. I hope everyone's Memorial Day weekend
went well. You didn't run intotoo many crazy so that we do have
some some stories about some crazies thatwe'll get to in the course of the
show. But yeah, I gotit. Let me talk about this failed

(11:09):
coup thing, and specifically the storywith the fam here. All right,
So here we go. A twentyone year old American man was reportedly on
his first overseas trip when he gotand I'm quoting here mixed up in a

(11:33):
failed coup and then a video emergedof him appearing a bag for his life
as soldiers with the Congolese government werevery roughly taking him into custody. All
right, So fifty people, threeAmericans detained over a plot to overthrow the

(11:54):
Congolese government. The leader of it, who is dead now of the coup,
failed coup, Christian Malunga. Sohow does one accident? Like you're
in country visiting and then things happen. Look, that's okay. You know

(12:15):
sometimes you're like, why were youin that country? That's kind of insane,
But it is what it is.People are there for a variety of
reasons and sometimes things kick off.Man. Yeah, I mean, this
is why you constantly tell people notto leave the country. I've been saying
it's for like a decade hour show. This is what I And I see
stories like this one, and Isee stories like the missionary couple that,

(12:39):
uh, they got murdered in Haiti. Yes, and then I think about
you traveling overseas, and this iswhat I'm always worried about. I have
a buddy who's traveling to Scotland comingup in the summer, and I send
them this story. I sent thema story, and I was like,
listen, if something happens to you, if you're if you're kidnapped by Algerians
or something, or Albanians and you'resold the human trafficked, or you're sold
to some you know, she sexwith him like a nice yacht though,

(13:03):
right, or or you know you'rejust hey, I'm checking out this,
uh, this famous landmark, andsuddenly I'm surrounded by a coup. These
things happen when you leave the UnitedStates. Don't Anything outside the United States
is third world, It's all poverty. There's no reason to leave, you
know. And he's bringing his familyto Scotland. I'm my dude, Yeah,
well, they do have a longhistory of people's uprisings in scott Or

(13:26):
he's gonna come back addicted to smackand like a fascinated with trains. Yeah,
there's a problem in Scotland, theaddiction issues. Where did you recently
went to Argentina, and I wasafraid about the same thing every time you
texted him, like was there acoup? No, there was a lot
of steakhouse and wine, and thenthis really interesting rum and then I listen,

(13:50):
my theory remain defeated. If youdon't leave the country, this wouldn't
have happened. There was the SouthernSouthern Hemisphere version of TDS, which I
thought was interesting because I saw alot of it, but no coup.
So although to be fair, oneprobably could have kicked off man. The
libs down there are big mad overthis, dude, But how do you

(14:11):
get involved? Involved? Though?All right, so this is where it
gets weird er. The US citizenscaptured over their alleged involvement in the failed
effort identified as Tyler Thompson. He'sthe twenty one year old. There's a
drug trafficker. And Malonga's son whois a twenty one year old football player

(14:35):
from Utah and he is friends withthe Thompson, the twenty one year old.
So I think, first and foremost, if the parents are looking for
answers, your friend is buddy buddywith the kid of the coup leader,
and you all went to visit sothat would be a pretty good investigative place

(15:01):
to start. Thompson's step mom toldABC her stepson traveled overseas for the first
time to see the family leave hisclose friend Marcel. Well, he did.
Family are happy to be leading thecoup. He was teammates. They
played high school football in Salt Laketogether, so that's how they knew each
other. She added. It wasalso the first time he'd ever flown alone

(15:24):
or flown on his own at leasttwenty one. Man. Man, we
coddle kids just right into the gravethese days. This woman, she looks
up, she's her twenty one yearold step son who's traveling for the first
time, traveling for the first timeand is with a friend of his by
the name of Marcel Malonga. Andthen all of a sudden, there he

(15:48):
is on the TV and they're talkingabout a coup that was put down in
Congo, and there's her son.The rest of the enemy combats, you
know, getting knocked around, putinto put into detention, and not what
she expected to see. She saidshe was not aware of any plans for

(16:11):
the pair to travel to the Congo. I believe they said they were going
to South Africa. Yeah, SouthAfrica, which, by the way,
I wouldn't go to South Africa rightnow. That's I think he'd probably be
fine. But things are things arenot good down there right now. But

(16:33):
anyway, I can understand whatever.She said that she later saw the images
of him being detained. It doesn'tfeel real. She was heartbroken when asked
about the friend who was the sonof the coup leader. Even though the
pair were from Utah, the coupleader family was in the US. He's
over doing his thing. In thevideo, Thompson appears to beg for his

(16:59):
life. He and Marcel are forcedto stand up while soldiers tie their hands.
Okay, pretty standard. Now.Christian Milonga, who had been exiled
from the Congo in the US,which is why the families in Utah became
a naturalized citizen headed for headed theUnited Congolese Party. He did so remotely

(17:21):
well, he decided to take itto the next level. He's dead now,
so yeah, yeah, don't sothere you go. No failed coups.
You want to be on the winning'sside of that. And of course,
what's the internet. He's a CIAasset? Is that I could have
predicted that. That's not even aheavy lift. Internet. Oh maybe maybe

(17:47):
he's an idiot twenty one year old. I don't believe for a moment that
he's the that he really thought hewas going to South Africa and that was
it. But like remember when youwere a kid into that with your parents.
Right now, where are your friends? And you got where you guys
going, Oh, we're gonna watcha movie, mom, all right,
and you are maybe gonna be overthere, but you're probably just gonna go

(18:07):
to the mall and harass, youknow, girls, and loiter and be
a general nuisance. But you know, a little little white lie. This
just this went in a much crazierdirection. All right, let's get to
this, uh what is going on? What is going on down in uh

(18:40):
in Carthage with this crazy well Carthagein the surrounding area with this uh,
this crazy Chechen util There's so manybuzzwords here, Chechen Utility contract company.
All right, if you're only partiallyfollowing this, and I think I can
forgive some folks, because you know, a lot of it was one of
the newer details were emerging, youknow, leading up to the three day

(19:06):
weekend. But let me give youa brief synopsis out of Moore County.
On May third, More County Sheriff'sdeputies were dispatched to a report of trespassing
at a residence in Carthage. Theresidence was from a colonel out of Fort
Bragg lived off base and the reportall they know is they're going up and

(19:30):
they said the caller indicated that anindividual was observed taking photos on the property,
kind of often in the brush.On arrival, deputies discovered the body
of thirty five year old Romsen d'revfrom Chicago but not originally, who appeared
to have sustained gunshot wounds about twohundred and fifty yards from the roadway along

(19:52):
the power lines, which is areally good place to hide because you've got
a clear cut there and usually brush. I've done it more from a hunting
perspective, but you know, sameconcept. The problem was, you know,
you're doing this against somebody who's gotthe you know, the thousand yard
stare or whatever. AnyWho do weknow if it was troutman Ross he's out

(20:22):
of brag, right, I believehe's out of brag, So I don't
know if it was Troutman. Butbut it really is not that it's what
you start to find when you begindigging into this, and that is where
this thing gets real crazy, realquick. In fact, on Fox News,
I think they had a pretty goodroundup of it. Let's get into

(20:42):
it. New developments tonight in themysterious shooting in Carthage, North Carolina,
outside a US Army Special Forces residence, involving an elite US soldier and two
Chechen males who immigrated from Russia.At least one lived in Chicago, but
neither name so far appear in anynational databases. And I'm told both were

(21:03):
here illegally. Okay, all right, So that's that's a lot already,
right, Yet two Chechen nationals,they're here illegally. That may not even
surprise now when you get a flavorof all the different countries represented out on
the border. But you make yourway here to the interior, you go
to Chicago, and then eventually youend up in the bushes in rural North

(21:27):
Carolina trying to take pictures of acolonel's house. That's that's going to be
a crazy path. Let's go downthat path. How did we end up
here? From illegal entry to thisNow learned that the phones collected at the
scene have been taken to an armybase for analysis to recap briefly. On

(21:48):
Friday May third, at eight fifteenpm, an Army colonel reported an altercation
with a possible trespasser near his home. The individual was reportedly taking photos near
the colonel's home with a telephotoln undera power line in a wooded area.
A fight ensued, shots were fired, and the alleged trespasser died. Upon
arrival, deputies discovered the body ofthirty five year old Ramzan Dariev from Chicago,

(22:12):
Illinois, who appeared to have sustainedgunshot wounds. Dariev was reported to
have been working as a subcontractor forUtilities I, a company based in New
Jersey, at the time of hisdeath. Investigators are still working to verify
his employment status. At the timeof the incident, Dariev was not in
possession of any utility equipment, utilityclothing, or identification. We have attempted

(22:37):
to reach out to Dariev's family,who set up a change dot org petition
for the New Russian immigrant who theysay was shot despite seeking a new life
in America. Fox News has reachedout repeatedly to Utilities I, a foreign
registered New Jersey based company founded intwenty sixteen by a young CEO from Moldova

(22:57):
who founded the firm three years aftermoving to the US and working as a
dishwasher and selling ice in Alaska.Okay, So that's that's uh, Jennifer
Griffith. The the pathway is odd, by the way, for all you

(23:19):
hiring managers out there, if yousaw Alaskan ice salesman on somebody's resume,
they're getting a face to face interviewat least, right what a horrible you
want to talk about jobs Americans won'tdo? Who's selling ice? Who's literally
the saying? Do you think hejust got confused? You know how sometimes

(23:41):
things are when you're you know,it's not your first language you hear,
especially when you hear like slang orcolloquialisms, it can be a little a
little distracting if you're not. Soyou know, maybe he heard somebody,
you know, you sell ice toEskimos right set about somebody in a positive
manner, and all of a suddenhe's like, well, if I want

(24:02):
to establish myself, that seems tobe uh, something that people will respect.
I don't know. That's That's thecraziest line from the story. All
right, let's continue, because thenthey had Pentagon officials and others weighing in
on this. And remember remember theother crazy story out of Carthage maybe you've

(24:30):
forgotten, remember the Remember the transformer, the subs, the power substation.
Did somebody just ran this? That'sright down the street from this. So
as you can imagine, now,I understand that the media already decided that
what was it? It was Magaor it was Christians? Right, who

(24:52):
did it? Right? You rememberthe whole narrative. But yeah, they
were pissed off over the there isgoing to be like r yeah, yeah,
a drag queen story out at somebookstore in what southern Pines or whatever.
And there were conspiracy theories at thetime that were like, hey,
maybe there's people coming over our border, you know, who are assets from
other countries who are here to destroyour infrastructure. I mean that assd theory

(25:15):
that's been out there. I heardabout this, No, I heard it
was the lady for the Baptist Church, Nana was the uh yeah, yeah,
yeah, yeah, Nana in athirty out six or so. I
don't know. Yeah, no,I had heard some of those conspiracy theories.
But I was told, I wasreliably told by ad members of what

(25:37):
we consider mainstream media, all ofthem using the quote from that activists,
the transactivist I can remember what hername is, but the one they always
go to who had just and theyjust dutifully reported it. So but now
now you find out that this isgoing on, you find out how many
different incidents have we had of peopletrying who have been literally arrested outside of

(26:03):
military installations, including those two geniusesup in it Quantico it was it Quantico
hor they tried, I tried,I can't remember. They were trying to
go in up there. And thenyou had you had like Chinese nationals what
who were picked up down by whatSeymour Johnson right. And in fact,
when you start looking at the numbersthe amount of incidents that they've had outside

(26:26):
of military or governmental installations, it'spretty significant. But you know, the
idea that you're honing in on acolonel, albeit a colonel that obviously is
you know, dealing with US specialForces. You're gonna want to have probably
some info on what they're up toif you know, you're no good baddie

(26:48):
from somewhere. But the whole thingis wild and finally was picking up some
steam on a couple of the newsoutlets ABC. He did do a piece
Fox obviously focused on it, butnot getting as much attention as I think
probably it should. Company was incorporatedon December twentieth, twenty By the way,

(27:11):
this is the Utilities Company and thisis the other crazy part of this.
The company was incorporated on December twentieth, twenty twenty three, and,
according to its website, provides quoteinfrastructure solutions for telecommunications providers, electric and
gas utilities, wireless carriers, andthe technology deployment sector. The company's vice

(27:32):
president of Fulfillment and Infrastructure is fromRussia as well. Again Brett. We
have reached out to Utilities One repeatedlytoday by phone and email to confirm Dariev's
employment and to get a statement abouthis death. All calls go directly to
voicemail, and our emails have goneunanswered. The More County Sheriff's office in
North Carolina also tells us they havenot been able to make contact with Utilities

(27:56):
One. I am shocked that theMoldovian startup, what russ It's tough.
Maybe they don't have a receptionist,you know, what it is. They're
in a different time zone, soFox News is calling. No, I
think the company is out of NewJersey. Oh okay, and is this

(28:17):
a paperwork? We're actually here inJersey, but we're actually in Russia.
Yeah, well yeah, I'm sorry. Have you ever forwarded your uh,
your your phone? You know youcan do that, right people with cell
phones? Let me ask that forthose of you in the biz. I
think I'm understanding this. So thecompany is is a subcontractor, right,

(28:41):
and then is handling what overflow workor utility work. Maybe somebody actually in
the utilities business can be a betteridea. That's my read on it.
And that's not an unusual thing,so I can understand why that would kind
of fall in there. But nowyou had all of this, you have
the substation attack, You've got thecrazy illegal chechens with telephoto lenses outside of

(29:07):
a colonel's house. I mean,what the hell is going on? Does
come as we are hearing about anuptick in what appeared to be probing incident,
looks fit the Pentagon military bases.Look across the country, that's right,
Brett. Special Operations Forces have reportedmany suspicious surveillance activities of them and
their families of late and then andby the way, this is what she's

(29:30):
talking about is a Pentagon. Therewas an interview that Fox did with the
Pentagon guy, but there was alsosome formal statements. So but she sums
it up nicely, so don't haveto play all the other stuff. Military
has seen an uptick of foreigners probingnear or on US military bases here.
Earlier today, the head of USFleet Forces, the Navy's Fleet Forces,
told Bill Hemmer that his name isAdmiral Darryl Coddle of US Fleet Forces Command.

(29:56):
He said, this thing of ourmilitary base is getting penetrated by foreign
nationals. It's happening more and more. You know, this is something we
have probably happened two or three timesa week. I understand. We have
his bites. Let's hear from himhimself. Our military base is getting penetrated
by foreign nationals. Is happening moreand more. You know, this is

(30:18):
something we see probably two or threetimes a week where we're stopping these folks
at the gate. Typically we getNCIS involved with those and we get biometrics
when possible. So there's a lotgoing on there. And I saw some
people trying to you know, well, you know it's this is happening.
It's always happened. No, that'strue. I mean we've had spies and

(30:41):
people feeding intail, just as wedo around the world. I understand all
that. But like, just asone little slice, and don't get me
wrong, Fort Bragg, I've decidedI'm going to operate using my Twitter X
decision making, so I'm not callingit X and I'm not on a liberty
so anyway, Fort Bragg obviously isincredibly incredibly important from a military standpoint,

(31:07):
so understandably so, and in aroundFort Bragg you're going to I will understand
why that may be a target offocus. But like that was pretty brazen
up the Quantico thing, right,Oh, we're from Amazon, just let
us in what And then you knowthis where it seems very hyper specific and

(31:30):
obviously the context of the importance ofthat colonel. You know, the public's
not going to be ready in onthat, but somebody who's in a command
position within our special forces, Iunderstand why they would want to know what's
up with that dude. But alsoit's a command it's a colonel from special

(31:52):
Forces. You better be really goodat hiding in the bushes, just saying
so, yeah, that's the weirdnesswe're presented with this morning. We'll take
a break and lots to get tohere on the CaCO Day radio program.
Well, I guess we'll start withthis and we'll get into phone calls.
You saw Ross, you saw whohe lost to the world of sports,
right or the three day weekend.Ross is screaming at equipment while eating eggs.

(32:17):
It's very busy. Angel Hernandez hasretired. Yes, yes, just
like just pulled the ripcord. He'slike, you know what, I'm gonna
spend more time with family. Ifyou don't know who Angel Hernandez is,
I've just retweeted a thread of hiscareer highlights. It's got a video and

(32:42):
all this. So it is absoluteworst, the worst. In fact,
let me back it. That's notjust Ross's opinion. Since the utilization of
pitch tracking, okay, right,so you can watch a baseball game,
you'll see the little graphic that's wherethe ball went. And in the videos
with the Angel Hernandez's greatest hits,you'll notice that they don't always comport balls

(33:09):
and strikes. But he is thecurrent leader. I want to read this
correctly. He holds the record forthe least accurate single game performance by an
umpire, least accurate single game,least accurate game in the with the with

(33:35):
the modern saw of the modern computersoftware. He is the king, and
apparently it's not even close. Soand uh, he just retired. Say
he's gonna go spend more time withfamily. Can you imagine being one of
his kids right right? And you're, you know, you're in there with
your your siblings, you guys,are you know, you're being kids,

(33:59):
your rough house and all that stuff. He's sitting in the room with you.
He watches your brother punch you,and yet you get in trouble every
time, and it's like, dude, you're staring right at it. Billy
punched me, and he's like,that's not what I saw. That had
to be hell. So yeah,good riddance. He's retiring. We're all

(34:21):
very tore up about it. Iwas trying to see I was trying to
find out which team because I'm suresomebody has figured the math on this,
which team has been screwed the mostby this dude. And there's just so
much to choose from. I don'tknow if we can accurately get an answer,
but yeah, he's retiring. Andthen on a more serious side,

(34:44):
Bill Walton passed away. Obviously UCLAplayed for some pretty good teams out there,
went into the NBA. He therewas a whole lot there with like
an MVP campaign, a hold outthreat, and some other stuff. But

(35:05):
ultimately, even though he's when youstart with Portland, played for Boston,
played for the Clippers, and thenjust eventually had medical issues, then transitioned
into you know, the Bill Waltonwithin the media and obviously had a very
storied career with that. So sadnews there. I don't have any beef
with Bill Walton, Angel Hernandez,happy retirement. Please don't even come to

(35:36):
the stadium and watch my team ifyou could. Are we grabbing a quick
phone called Donna? What's up?Good morning, Casey morning. So we've
had chuch me in terrorists here,I e. Boston. So why are
they calling them? Uh, well, they're not terrorists maybe, but they're

(35:58):
spies. Why are they not callingthem spies and they're calling them foreign nationals?
Is not a little strange? Well, I mean I don't know that
it's strange. It's strange in thepart where I understand the inaccuracy of it,
but you know, ultimately, atthe end of the day, like
I wonder if they even know whenthese guys came in. I think they

(36:20):
were able to track one of them. Like that's how how loose everything is.
Yeah, that's pathetic. He listenedbefore I go. I wanted to
say it to Ross, but Ididn't get a chance. If you miss
me, I've been kicked off Twitter. How did you get kicked off of
Twitter? I have no idea.They flagged me for an activity? What

(36:44):
did you do? They flagged mefor unusual activity? You know what it
was. I know what it is. I know what it cat memes.
Yeah, you probably reported me.I would not do such a thing.
Yeah you did. You reported mefor too many cat videos. I don't

(37:04):
know what you're referring to. I'mjust saying that if that's not why you
got kicked off, that should bea reason people are kicked off. So
right, listen, I post youknow what. You know what I really
think it is. I retweet allof your stuff. I retweet all of
comfortably smug stuff and red steas,and I think that if you retweet many
people, they think you're spamming,so that actually maybe and that may be

(37:29):
a thing, because thank you verymuch for the call there. Don I
remember when I set up the showTwitter account. I tried to on the
very first day go through and Igot a whole list of all the media
stuff I wanted to initially follow onit, so I like made a project
out of it and this, andthen it got flagged for aggressive following.

(37:50):
Oh Man, back in the backof the good old days, huh,
aggressive following. And so I'm like, I just set up the new show
Twitter account way back in the day, and now we can't use it because
aggressive following. So I don't knowsome of the rules, but I think
it's probably cat memes. And Ithink everyone listening should take this as a
valuable lesson and not use the Internetto share cat memes or you could end

(38:15):
up like Donna. I'm just saying, all right, seven twelve Cacoday radio
program, an Ohio billionaire is planningto take a deep sea submersible too the
Titanic, and now not just theTitanic, but also what would they call

(38:37):
the was it Expedition? I thinkwas the name of the sub that literally
just imploded turned everyone to missed.And I'm not exaggerating. You should go
watch the computer recreation of it.I mean it's a it's a it's a
graphic and it'll turn your stomach.So but in this case, this billionaire

(39:00):
says, you know, it's theother guy's sub sucked. That was the
problem, in fact, referring tothe guy who ran the company. Let's
see here though, there's the Titansubmersible expedition which killed all five people on
board, including the CEO of OceanGates Stockton Rush and this guy in Ohio

(39:24):
along with his partner, said thatthis guy was he was known to cut
corners. What is the one phrasethey said? All right, so here
we go. He said, youknow what we need to do is build
a sub that can dive to Titaniclevel depths repeatedly, safely, and demonstrate

(39:45):
to the world that you can doit. But the Titan was not it.
It was a contraption, referring toRusha's approach to doing it. Here
we go as quite predatory and utilizingquestionables safety standards. Okay, I have
a question. So because you're you'relike, ah, everyone knew that that

(40:06):
was a big old piece of junk. They never should have got on it.
Well, you're some you this isalso your gig. Although to be
fair, this guy made his moneyuh in doing real estate in Dayton,
Ohio and made billions. Which everbeen to Dayton, Ohio? How do
you make billions in real estate there? Sorry, I'm not trying to knock

(40:30):
on Dayton, but you know it'snot a it's not like a super high
end real estate market. So obviouslythis guy does well. But if you
knew this, why didn't you saysomething to the other people? I don't
remember you scream it? Because Ithink people would listen to another tech billionaire

(40:51):
or it started as real estate,but one who's now in the submersible business.
They may weigh it because of thecompetitive nature of which you guys are
trying to do, but they're gonnalisten. Right if if if the ghost
of Jacques Cousteau came out, it'slike, don't get on that. I
think people would listen. So withthat in mind, uh Ross, you

(41:15):
want me to get you a seat, buddy, I want to go see
the uh the sub, to gosee the wreckage of the sub, to
see the wreckage of the Titanic soagain we're on layer three here, or
you want to wait a little untilI don't know what controller are we using
this time? Uh? And itis an old school Sega Genesis always it

(41:36):
Okay, perhaps it's gonna say ifit was like the old Nintendo sauce would
up on this one fact. Ifyou don't remember the basically the way that
some the Doom submersible was controlled.It looked like a PlayStation controller. It
was, wasn't it. It wasone of those you buy like aftermarket.
Yeah, so it was like offbrand, sort of like a universal remote,

(41:59):
but a video game system. Yeah. So it wasn't like Sony.
It wasn't Nintendo. It wasn't.But it could be used in all the
different systems. And if you're youknow, if you've ever used a controller
like that, you know how temperamentalthey can be and disconnect at a moment's
notice and then murder everybody in yoursub I mean, yes, that's I
did see somebody defending it saying,well, look, you know, ultimately,

(42:24):
when you're talking about controls, you'rejust mapping something and creating relays and
then depending on if it's fly bywire, if you have an assist where
there's an actual mechanical side. Obviouslythis was electronic. You know, whether
it looks like a PlayStation control oryou know, like the the dash of
your car, it's all doing thesame thing, is it though? Because

(42:47):
it does? No, I don't. I don't agree with it. Right,
appearance doesn't matter. Like if youhad to choose where you like,
hey, you're gonna we're gonna gocheck out the wreckage of the Titanic and
the one thing shows up that blewup and you're like, oh, look
at that. And then the eventsomething that looks like the Avengers would would
be inside it pops out of theocean like a summarine. You're like,
I'm going on that one. Sothe Nautilus, Yes, I'd get on

(43:08):
the Nautilus. And that thing's hellaold, so yeah, all right,
So if it doesn't look like thethe aircraft flying carrier from you're not getting
on it. There's no way inhell. Okay, I mean, one
day, you know, you getfurther down. One day your kids will
take the sub to see the subto see the submersible and the wreck of

(43:30):
the sub that right, to seethe submersible, to see the Titanic it'll
be a family tradition. Well,now now you're selling seven day packages because
you got to see all the stuff. That's how you do. That's how
you make money and tourism. You'rewelcome free tip right there, I think
about. Yeah, some just don'twant to be early adopters. Let me

(43:52):
ask you a question, Roz.You were just down at the beach.
What week or two weeks ago orsomething? Right, took the family down
to the beach. Now you weren'tdown by Kitty. But let's say you're
up by Kitty. How Let's sayyou were and two young gentlemen who once
lived in Ohio but nobody cares that'smeaningless, now live in North Carolina and
they're testing their flying contraption. Youwant to get on that damn thing?

(44:13):
Hell no, reasonable people are waitingfor caviare service and pressurized cabins. So
it, you know, just comesdown to when do you want to get
on this thing? But you gotto give it to the guys who did
go on it first. Yeah,that's not that's good for them. Like
you see these old timey movies rightthat people jumping off houses with like umbrellas
and stuff. Yeah, like burlerely stuff. Yes, yes, yes,

(44:36):
yes, it's amazing. Absolutely well. It's like did you did you
ever try to jump your bike whenyou were a kid, build a little
ramp or something, right, it'sthat that is that daredevil spirit. Some
people just take it a lot furtherin life. Others get some skin knees
and mom won't let them ride anymore. All right, seven nineteen Casey ode

(45:00):
program a lot of weird stuff overthe weekend, and not the least of
which is Pete Bootagege, who Idid see one of the Democratic panelists from
SNBC responding to this, saying thatit's quote this strikes fear into Republicans because
of how articulate and no nonsense merePete is. So you all are intimidated

(45:25):
by him, and you will bemuch more intimidated when we play play some
of this audio. Plus we gotaudio from Trump. And yes, even
we will not lie, steal ourcheat, nor tolerate those who do.
End of quote. End of quote. Couldn't have said it better myself back
in a few this guy reading wewill not lie, steal, our cheat,

(45:49):
nor tolerate those who do. Endof quote. By the way,
there's nothing that makes me think yourpledge to not lie is sincere as much
as when you say end of quoteafter it. Do some to think about
so anyway, But that stink permeatesacross the cabinet, including to Transportation Secretary

(46:15):
Pete Boodagege, who had an absolutelydisastrous appearance on what should have been a
softball of an interview. For acouple reasons. Reason number one, what
happened all that month? The FederalHighway Administration says only seven or eight charging
stations have been produced with a sevenand a half billion investment seven and a

(46:37):
half billion, and they've built sevenor eight? Are the Is the Clinton
Foundation doing it? Are these HAITIhouses again? What the hell is happening?
Taxpayers made back in twenty twenty one. Why isn't that happening more quickly?
So? The president's goal is tohave half a million chargers up by
the end of this decade now andintentions, that's his intentions. You guys

(46:58):
going to have a half billion bythe end of the decade. He won't
live to see it, probably,but you know that's what we're going for.
Yeah, but you only built sixand like the first year, what's
going on to do a charger.It's more than just plunking a small device
into the ground. There's utility workand this is also really a new category

(47:21):
of it's okay, shut up guidingyou through. Mayor Pete Boodagig, who
was being interviewed over the weekend,was it ABC now one of the networks,
and it went a lot tougher andI think he thought it was going
to go first and foremost. I'lljust play the first part of this again.

(47:43):
I feel like this should have beenexplored the whole time. Federal Highway
Administration says only seven or eight chargingstations have been produced with a seven and
a half billion investment that taxpayers madeback in twenty twenty one. All right,
so in actually twenty twenty one.So in twenty twenty one they allocated

(48:04):
billions to build out charging stations,and they were gonna have a half million
by the end of the censor orthe end of the decade, so still
got room to go. But inthe first three years they've averaged two charging
stations. Do you do you knowhow many charging stations Tesla built out.

(48:31):
I don't care what you think ofthem. The Tesla chargers are the superior
chargers when they're working. I understandthat, you know the complaints there,
but they built that, they hadto build all that infrastructure. In fact,

(48:51):
Ross, I'm sorry, can Iwill you look something up? I
was gonna look this up? Willyou? Will you? I'm sure you
could probably google this. How manyTesla charging stations are in the United States?
How many have they built? Becauseyou know Tesla has done all however
many this number is the ROSS goingto come up with. These were built
out within the same timeframe that they'repromising to do what they're doing. Okay,

(49:15):
and I promise you that Tesla whenthey were building out chargers wasn't averaging
two a year because it wouldn't befunctional from a business standpoint, because that's
one of your marketing angles. Right, So yeah, yeah, yeah,
all right? How many charging stations? Al Right, so in the US
there are twenty two hundred and thirtyfour supercharger stations, and all together,

(49:37):
when it comes to chargers, there'stwenty five and fifty six guys. So
now obviously with you know, makinga pledge for a half million, is
you know, a lot more,but you can do more than six or
seven or whatever the number is inthree years. No, it's the absolute

(49:59):
inefficial and see an absurdity of governmenthighlighted with a very easy to understand example
that made peat glare. But thenthey changed the subject because we'll just I
guess we'll just kiss those billions goodbyeand move on to something else. Tell
me, mayor Pete, what elseyou want to get into, maybe some
climate change? Could we do that? Okay? Good, good good?

(50:21):
What do we got now? Realityis, the effects of climate change are
already upon us in terms of ourtransportation. We've seen that in the form
of everything from heat waves that shouldn'tstatistically even be possible threatening to melt the
cables of transit systems in the PacificNorthwest, to hurricane seasons becoming more and
more extreme, and indications that turbulenceis up by about fifteen persons. Sorry,

(50:46):
I'm sorry. I've heard the otherstuff. Heat waves that shouldn't technically
no, they can technically be possiblebecause they happened. So you can't say
something is technically not possible if ithappens. And then I yeah, I'm
sorry. Turbulence Now, turbulence iskind And by the way, I look

(51:08):
this up and I was able tofind one moon bad study who's decided the
turbulence must be a climate change thing. I'm not a pilot for American or
Delta or something like. Okay,that being said, the causes of turbulence,

(51:35):
the you know, the main thingsthat they would look for are all
things that literally have existed for solong, have been so predictable, and
are about differentials. Right. I'mnot going to explain it in a in
a technical scientific manner, but ifyou read through this, it's fairly easy
to understand. So now the turbulencebecause the climate, global climate warming change

(51:58):
is a thing. You know howhappy Boeing is does the ultimate get out
of jail free card? Right?Oh? Yeah, no, no,
no, yeah? The door?Yeah, So here's what happened with that.
Uh, you drive an suv?Ross? You got? You have

(52:19):
an suv, don't you? Yougot? Yeah? Or is it a
crossover? Yeah? You got twoof them? Wow? Do you feel
bad about tearing the door off thatAmerican Airlines playing with your gas couslin suv?
Habit? Do you feel guilty atall? I sure don't. Oh
he doesn't. Okay, some wouldsay that's absurd, but they're like,

(52:42):
oh no, here's a one studything about this that just reads like ninety
percent of the other things that yousaw in al Gore's video where it's like,
I don't know, man, letme, I'm I want to hear
about your methodology. And if youremember the ninety nine percent methodology was basically

(53:04):
what you want to do is anyonewho has a dissenting opinion, you don't
include them in the numbers because thenas a percentage, it still looks bigger.
And that's just one of nine thousandproblems with that. So oh man,
So yeah, yeah, I don'tthink that thought how it was going
to go, how he thought itwas going to go. And sometimes you're
able to roll within and sometimes you'renot. I would say, did you

(53:25):
see Trump at the Libertarian conference andthey started booing him. Here's what it
looks like to be able to rollwith something. Mayor Pete take notes that
sign that size only if you wantto win, only if you want to

(53:47):
win. Maybe you don't want towin, Thank you, dear Roy,
thank you. No, only dothat if you want to win. If
you want to lose, don't dothat. Keep getting you three percent every
four years. Dude, did helook? Did he look? Even remotely
uncomfortable up there. I mean thinkabout that to be in, you know,

(54:12):
at a podium with thousands of peoplebooing you at hundreds or whatever it
was, right, even if you'rea public speaker, it can be pretty
awkward. Biden when he was givenwhen he spoke up at where do you
speak? At West Point? No? No? Where? Did he speak
over the way one of the militaryschools, right, and they weren't clapping.

(54:34):
He did the police clap thing withJeb Bush, which is which is
stupid because you're the commander in chief. Man, you can order him to
clap. Dude, why why havethat if you're not going to flex it
in a moment like that order,or if it's not loud enough. Here's
what you want to do. Rosschecked my work here. If you're in

(54:54):
a military setting and the response you'regetting is not loud enough, you want
to scream I can't hear you,maggots, and then some other stuff.
I can't stand on the radio atthe top of your lungs until you get
the response you're looking for. That'show you do that. Maybe you can
also walk around the room ask eachof them a little something about theirselves.

(55:17):
Explain that you didn't know they stackedstuff that high, and guys from Texas,
that's going to go in a differentdirection. And yeah, maybe talk
about someone's mom and their leg youget, but you have to exert dominance.
And in that situation, Biden justkind of shriveled. Pete acted annoyed

(55:40):
and smug. Donald Trump started makingfun of them. Different people deal with
different stuff different ways, That's allI'm saying. All right, coming up,
you thought they weren't innovating on thewhacked out college ro tester Palestinian Hamas

(56:01):
front. You think, no,they're coming up with new and different and
this might be my favorite one yet. But first let's get Ray Stagic from
the Weather Channel. We'll get intothat other thing here after the break.
How you doing, sir, good? Good casey? How are you?
I'm pretty good? Did you Whatdid you do over the weekend? And

(56:25):
did work? Believe it or not? Went from graduation at the high school
while they didn't my seat graduation todinner quicknap. It's overnight covering the tornado
outbreak was actually on the air forthe Texas One north of Denton and for
the Arkansas One. Texas One wascrazy, and I was gonna ask I

(56:50):
was going to actually lead to thatbecause I saw one of the weather warnings
out of Oklahoma and there was aphrase in there the my my attention,
DVD size hail. Oh I didn'tsee that DVD. They recall DVD sized
hail that shouldn't exist. And timesmaybe also, I feel like you have

(57:16):
to change that because if I'm twelveand I'm listening to the weather and I'm
like and they're like, watch out, there might be DVD sized I don't
know what the hell that is.I'm not going outside. I'm stupid because
I don't know exactly. You gotto update it. So we need something
else. Yeah, big yeah,big time hail. And if to this

(57:42):
or says that's what we need,yes, that'll get them right. So
yeah, and unfortunately multiple I thinkwe're over twenty fatalities from severe weather over
the weekend, some storms here locally. Now we're in for some absolutely beautiful
weather next few days. It's warmthis morning still and today another warm day
for the breath of the cooler,more pleasant air gets in here. Mid

(58:04):
upper eighties today tonight in the lowsixties and maybe some fifties from the triad
West Tomorrow Thursday Friday, near orjust above eighty degrees. On Friday,
we actually stay in the upper seventieswith lows in the fifties. The mountains
could sneak into the forties later inthe week, and I don't know if
we'll get to mention a rain maybethrough the entire upcoming weekend too. So
it's been a rough severe weather seasonso far for many across the eastern US.

(58:30):
We're going to get a nice break, and this break's going to continue
right for the rest of the month, and as we get into the first
day of meteorological summer in June andhurricane season on Saturday, hopefully we don't
uncover a whole ball of wax thatthey're talking about for what this hurricane season's
supposed to be like, which,believe it or not, it's off to
a very slow start in the northernhemisphere, including the Pacific Ocean, but

(58:52):
forecast to be one heck of anAtlantic hurricane season, so we'll see.
All right, I probably can't getyou on board with this, but I
want to do something because I've startedto get all the press releases from all
the people pitching hurricane related interviews.You know, it's just the cycle of
things. Do we really need totell people to have food at their house

(59:14):
every year? And water? Dowe? I mean, do we?
Or can we start thinning some folksout? I think we could thin to
hurt a little bit. Okay,all right, it's like what a bunch
of wasted space. Make sure youhave water? Yeah, well if you
don't know, then you know,one hundred years ago you'd be dead.
So right, yeah, I agree, Okay, all right, sorry to

(59:36):
drag into my angry. I appreciateit, sir. There you go,
race to egic from the weather Channel. Oh oh, Air Force. Okay,
I know it was one of theservice academies. But again, you're
the commander in chief. Tell themto clap, call him maggots, screen
it go, you know what,get some of your buddies go into their
dorm and turn everything upside down likesomebody didn't lock a foot locker. Okay,

(59:59):
a clap, Commander in chief.All right, we'll be back.
Hang on. Generally, these aregoing to be the types of jobs that
more men are doing. Not always, but most of the time. I'm
talking the you know, the busyou're ass sun up to sun and down.
We're gonna you know, you're hangingdrywall, you're pouring concrete, you're

(01:00:21):
you know, you do plumbing,your rancher wait, you know whatever it
is, right and and and alsoit's a job that generally you're gonna have
a truck, right, and you'regonna actually use a truck for truck stuff,
not like the Kerrie soccer mom usesher truck. And imagine you're at

(01:00:44):
the end of one of those days. You're not appreciated, you're underpaid for
the work that you do, butyou go out and you do it because
that's you know, you have aresponsibility to your family. You're the people
that make America work. And atthe end of that day, when when
when the end is in sight,you head back to your truck for that

(01:01:08):
commute that's probably way too long,back to your house or you know you're
going to be exhausted, have limitedtime with your family, and then get
up and do it all over againthe next day. This is the life
that so many people lead. Therewas a time where I where I worked
did roofing. It's it's not easy, but you do it because you want

(01:01:31):
to have you want to have agig and as you're getting back to your
truck. Inside of your truck isan absolute demon in the form of one
of these pro Hamas protesters who literallygot into your truck because you got out

(01:01:52):
to check a tie down strap andat that moment jumped in there. It
is now occupying your truck. Howis that going to go? We don't
have to speculate, because it happened. I got some psycho you just Scott
in my truck and was driving it. Three Palestine in downtown Detroit and my

(01:02:13):
future kids, Free Palestine, FreePalestine, Palestine. And you're don't You're
dealing with this fealine out of mytruck. All right? I have to
tell you his restrain initially, becausehe does. He sits there in films

(01:02:37):
her. I think he for amoment thinks shame is gonna work. It
spoiler doesn't work, and she justgets more and more animated, and eventually
he grabs she's wearing like a puffycoat, you know, grabs the coat.
And I wouldn't say he tossed heraggressively. She didn't catch air per
se, but then she kind ofsoft rolls on the sidewalk. Yes,

(01:03:00):
can I just say, for allof you protesters who want to make everybody's
life miserable, this is the wayI would encourage you to seek how construction
sites, auto parts stores, anywheremen are being men and occupy their vehicles.
What is the worst that could happenkicking off a four day work week

(01:03:22):
post Memorial Day? And I haveto tell you just I always find it
interesting because I like to think Isee everything, but you just can't see
everything. I didn't know and Ihear by the way Kyle and News is
he loves this story this morning.I didn't know grown adults chase cheese wheels

(01:03:52):
down a hill assover tea kettle.I had no idea. This fascinating Ross
is like the expert on this stuff. For some reason, I was very
a bunch of documentaries accidentally a fewyears back, maybe accidentally like the guy
who got accidentally. I think itwas like during COVID, where like people
are looking for stuff to watch,and like one video led to the other

(01:04:12):
and I watched the whole documentary onit. There's like YouTube series on it.
It's fascinating, man. These peoplego down these hills, and these
hills are super steep, and theythe phones get the Wheeled Cheese and the
special I watched was it was onabout a girl. It was like the
biggest one of these they do overthere, and she had won it like
three or four years in a row, like the Murray de Jordan of cheese,

(01:04:33):
the Michael Jordan of cheese Chasing gotyou and it followed her. She
was trying to win again. Whybut why? Because I heard it.
I heard Kyle say that it's hundredsof years old? What what? Why?
How how did that start? That'swhat I want to know. How

(01:04:53):
do we how do we now havean annual cheese wheel chase injury fest going
back hundreds of years? What?How did they start chasing cheese? It's
a way to try to get toget rid of the black death? Is
that true? Well, I meanyou see you see, yeah, they

(01:05:15):
tried to get they tried to getrid of the black death. That goes
well to the p yeah spread yeahright, fleas yeah, times with fleas
cheese. Well also, what wouldthe fleas on? That's kind of what
the rats like? Cheese like cheese. Okay, so it's death yeah,

(01:05:38):
no, you're right, Yes,A ring around the rosie, the ring
of cheese ashes ashes, we allfall down the hill to get the cheese.
We forgot your pocket with the flowersin it there, So it was
that. But then I also,but then, why would you if the
source of the black plate I don'tI can't believe I'm going down this rat.

(01:06:00):
If the source of the black plaguewas the rats and the fleas on
the rats, and they are cheap, why wouldn't you want to run away
from the cheese wheel? Yeah?I assumed, Yeah, I assumed.
It was like how like William Wallacewon the Battle of Laton or whatever.
That first one was right where hewas outnumbered, but he had the high

(01:06:20):
ground. Maybe they were rolling IndianaJones boulders things of cheese down on the
King's men. Okay, so fulldisclosure. I don't remember why they do
it. I think it was justsome weirdo who did it and they were
like it caught on. It's likesomething fun to do. Well, why
don't you do it? Man?I'm old dude, Well you don't,

(01:06:40):
like, you don't have to gopro treat it like pickleball right where I'm
playing tennis. No, you're notnot. Really, It is a great
rabbit hole to fall down and watchthese people just fling themselves down the mountain
get injured to get this wheel ofcheese. It's fascinating. Yeah yeah,
yeah, yeah, I mean II do enjoy stuff like that when I
lived in when I spent that yearliving in Breckenridge, I got to go

(01:07:04):
to the spring thaw at a RapahoeBasin, which is one of the nearby
ski areas, and at the endof the year they literally let the water
pool and create a pond at thebottom, and then people get as drunk
as possible and either ski and tryto water ski across it and it ends
horribly, or they build big sledcontraptions and big groups of people break their

(01:07:29):
necks. So like, I'm herefor the watch and I'm just saying,
maybe we can put together a softer, more pickleballish league where it's you know,
you're not using you know, damnnear a cliff, right, You're
not using the hill that Wesley rolleddown, because that's what we're talking about,

(01:07:51):
right, If people need a visualon this, Yes, in the
Princess Bride, that hill he goesrolling down, Like that's what some of
these look like. But instead ofone, there's like hundreds of them,
all falling down simultaneously. Yes,yes, yes, yes, So instead
of that hill, maybe the uhmaybe the incline of the driveway into the
studios there, Jesus, moving asfast you might actually catch it, because

(01:08:16):
that would suck to never catch thecheese, right, starve man, that's
the documentary I want to see.I want to see the documentary of the
person that's done this year after year, off to year and they've never won.
That's the stick to it. Idon't know, I don't know that
I could keep a straight face watchingsomebody tumble after cheese down the hill slow
mow with chariots of fire in thebackground. So was there a training montage?

(01:08:38):
Please God tell me there was,now I want to know how you
trained. You just throw yourself downthe hill over and over again. I
think she just ran down the hillover and over again. Oh okay,
all right, Like she was achampion because she was able to believe to
stay on her feet. Is shestill the champion? Uh? This is
proud. No, she has tobe retired now. Well it's probably good

(01:08:59):
because the women's division now nothing buttrans dudes. So yeah, sorry,
ladies should have got into it sooner, all right. So that's a cheese
wheel chasing. I know, peopledo weird stuff everywhere, man, I
mean, let's face it, wewere dropping possums in a box until some

(01:09:23):
cry babies at Chapel Hill got sad. So you never know, all right,
Here's what I do know, though, whatever happened to your kid's kindergarten
that you know may have concerned you, right, you know, especially if
it's your first kid, probably overlyprotective. Now they're at school, Just

(01:09:44):
thank your lucky stars. It wasn'tthis. Kindergarten graduations are times for making
memorize. These graduates were crossing overinto the next journey of their life.
This was a supposed to be atime for kindergartens to be promoted to the
first grade, but it turned intothis fight. This video circulating online shows

(01:10:06):
children breaking off into a fight duringa graduation at Buckley Carpenter Elementary School.
It doesn't surprise me, because noone where we live in a falling world,
people need the Lord Jesus Christ.Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah,
all right, I hear you there. How does an entire graduation ceremony of

(01:10:27):
kids look like a four am wafflehouse melee. How do you these are
kindergarteners. Don't get me wrong,they can all act a fool, but
it's like it's like every it's theworst world star hip hop video fight like
I've ever seen you with kindergarteners.And they even had a kindergarten fight club

(01:10:47):
here in North Carolina we talked abouta few weeks ago, and it goes
full melee, man at a kindergartengraduation. That's not just on the school
right there. That is wild tome. Man, those kids, I

(01:11:11):
hope they're not, but I thinkit's fair to say some of those kids
are doomed. Some of them probablywill never go to another graduation, as
sad as that is, and that'show they kicked off their very first one
wild melee at a kindergarten graduation.We are absolutely bring on the asteroid at

(01:11:32):
this point. All right, Hey, you want to feel good? Though
not everything's a Debbie downer, althoughthe cheese thing probably made some people feel
good. I like cheese, Butthe US has recaptured its former glory and
stuck it to those Australians. I'llexplain what we did and why USA number

(01:11:56):
one in just a moment here onthe Cacoday radio program. So somebody sent
me an email. Apparently a girlover at NC State has won two of
the last three and according to theemail, or she actually changed well that
makes sense, actually ras she chasedshe trains at Pulling Dick's Park complex for

(01:12:21):
the cheese chase. All right,well, I don't know if that's true,
sir, but if it is anice little cool local connection, appreciate
that. All right, so uh, let's go ahead. In fact,
let's let me get this ready.Why don't we head on down to the
sunny state, Oh, Florida?Shall we? Florida? Then Florida?

(01:12:47):
Then something in the water the errorshand that makes you do all that crazy
craft. That's like the state islet me done, ass trap. Nowhere
else has the Florida man. Itis almost like as the Weird Factor climbs
and you find out it haven't inFlorida every time, in Florida, then

(01:13:10):
Florida. Then if anyone can jeerme have you know, you can't just
mind life be crazy? But ofcourse but it's not. It's cod crab
crazy as yours. Nowhere else areyou gonna find him? They're so used
to it, they don't find him. Hooray for Florida man. Well,
that's a Florida man in question.Pencicle of Florida. Thirty one year old

(01:13:30):
David Jackson had been on the runfrom police and significant charges felling, the
assault, felling, the assault oflaw enforcement officer, possession of a weapon
by felling. You just you knowa bunch of stuff. But anyway,
he's on the lamb din. Thepolice get a tip, you little tippy
tip, Hey, this dude,he's in this house. So on Friday,

(01:13:58):
they roll the they roll the tacticalteam over there to get them and
finally make their way inside. Andinitially they're looking around, they don't know
where he is. And it wasonly after one of the officers went into
a utility room that it became reallyreally apparent. The five foot ten,

(01:14:19):
one hundred and fifty pound dudes,so he's you know, it's tallish,
but you know, lanky, hadapparently folded himself into a dorm room size
dryer, a front loading dryer,like he's like he's a circus act and

(01:14:40):
was hiding in there with the doorclosed behind him. Ross, what do
you know about front loading dryers?This is This is an important thing that
this man didn't think about. Whatdo you know about front loading dryers?
You have a front loader or toploader? We have a top and recently
we had to buy a new washingmachine. On Saturday, we went traditional.
I don't like the front loading.You don't like the but you've seen
the front loader, right, yes, all right? What is a feature

(01:15:02):
that front loaders have that not allthe top loaders have the doors on the
front, right, But what isthe door? Is it a solid door?
No, it's it's like a window. Right. So yeah, so
they walk in, they're like,oh, man, where's David? And
then they just through the window theyjust see like a face in arms.

(01:15:24):
There's a picture of it. Wait, he didn't even like bring a sheet
in there with him. No,no pillowcase, they hold a nasty T
shirt. Nothing. He found allthe socks. Cover yourself with socks,
man, Yeah, there's hundreds inthere at the Suvie's still But also,
yeah, that's a tight fit,man, that's a whole lot of it.
Just says you can retweet this thatsend you the link. Yeah.

(01:15:48):
I can't imagine how he got caughtexcept for the window that's clearly on the
front loader. I have a frontI have a front loader. Ross and
I were talking about applying stuff offthe air. I have a question.
I just sent that to you.Did it go like the refrigerator where you're

(01:16:09):
shopping for it and it's come withsome feature that you're gonna hate eventually,
like your door. I'm sure itdoes, because Marky picked one out our
washing machine of like twenty seven years. We got it when we moved from
Atlanta. It was Marky's moms.Okay, it was like I said,
it was like twenty seven years old, but it lasted twenty seven lasted twenty
seven years because it was as simple, you know, from like nineteen ninety

(01:16:31):
eight or whatever. Perfect just abig solid piece of metal with the big
door on the on the top andyou know, the nothing complicated. And
now you know, Marky's like watchesthis video, watch that video, and
I'm like, just get whateverone youwant, because I'm watching the videos and
I'm like, this is overly complicated. Like they all look like they belong

(01:16:51):
to the enterprise, and they allhave these smart features, and they all
these green features, and it's likeexpensive stuff to bring more stuff to break,
the more arts they have the morechance something one of those parts is
gonna break and then it's gonna besuper complicated to fix it. Because why
does your washing machine need to havea million different computer chips so you can
use it as a server to doyour twitch stream? Good point, dude,

(01:17:15):
my my, Now my unit isnewer and there's a USB port.
Why why, Well, I'm goodfor for software updates. Has anybody ever
jammed in that had jammed a USbeat into the side or that, in
that case, the back of thewasher. No, no, you haven't,
shut up, No you haven't.And to Ross's point, give me

(01:17:38):
the old twenty five, give methe give me the old school appliance that
if you, if you do somegeneral maintenance, you'll get a ton of
life out of it. And youknow it's gonna let you said, there's
gonna beeping on it, like thefridge had the beating where if it's open
for too long it beats. Andby the way, when you have a
kid with autism, that's really abad thing because they know he's terrified of
the stupid refrigerator opening now because thebeat might go off, right, son

(01:18:00):
of the BP hates it and theunpredictability of it. So now you're gonna
have a washing machine that's going tobe like, well, if you did
three loads of longer today, you'reover your water limit. Beep beep beep.
You know that's coming. Can't wait, so that shows up on Thursday.
But I wanted an old school machine. Just give me a simple washing
machine, that's all I want.Somebody's mad at me. Why are you
kids have dryers in their dorm?I don't know, sir. Why it's

(01:18:21):
called a dorm size. It mustbe to indicate that it's slightly smaller than
a standard. I didn't name it. I also know that it's got a
window on the front. And ifyou hide in there by the way,
you see the picture of us justsome to you, you'll see like,
also, do you do you tryto get the dude out or you just
take the whole unit, but thetop load you some felon eluding police couldn't

(01:18:44):
hide in your uh in your washerman, because it's got that that agitator
up in the middle. And sothat was the other thing. We're looking
at options, and they're like,well, you know, do you can
get one where like the agitator isa removed, and I'm like, well,
that's just another piece that can possiblybreak. Yeah, and then you
have to buy one to replace it, and yeah, it's only half the
cost of a new one. Plannedobsolescence man, all right. By the

(01:19:08):
way, So somebody did send mea story about the uh, the young
cheese chasing enthusiast from NC State,and what I think is really funny here.
Good for her, by the way, she looks very happy and not
all of her bones broken, soshe's doing it well. So I'm reading
the article and it says that shehas ni l deals, she's got cheese

(01:19:28):
spots. That's fantastic. So she'slike the Caitlin Clark of cheese. I
guess it's awesome. Dude. Ifone of the salespeople walk down the hall
after the show today and was like, Hey, anybody want to endorse cheese.
You're doing that endorsement, right,I don't even got to think about
it the way. Yeah, uhyeah, I'll do. I'll do cheese,

(01:19:51):
and then I want to cheese one, and then I want to cheese
it one so I can put cheeseon the saleskin bag. Best they could
do with cheese nips, No cheesenips. What so you're doing that.
You're doing the cheese nips. Thisis from sales. I'm just saying there.
Yeah, all right, well congratulations, Ross is gonna do cheese nips.
I'm gonna do cheese Its no listen, man, they get any cheese

(01:20:15):
nips. All they can do ischeese nips. Are you going to sport
the company or not? What's theother? What's the super ghetto one?
Oh? What was it called?It was the one we used to I
just remember it was gross. Yeah. Yeah. She's like, ah,
it's just as good as the namebrand. And you're like, eh,

(01:20:38):
I don't know about that. Yeah, but she's got she got nil deals.
Dude. That whole thing is goingsideway. You see the video from
the University of Colorado for the playersat practice, so like gamblings thousand dollars
stuff on passes. It's like itlooks like a bunch of super rich NFL
dudes doing that, and people arelike, this isn't a good look.

(01:21:00):
I'm like, I don't know ifit's a good look or not. I
mean, if it's their money,they want to gamble it fine against each
other doing stuff and a bet nonactual games I think they're probably okay,
but maybe talk to the people whohave private jets now that are play in
college football. Maybe start there.So all right, so I mentioned Florida
and US recapture in our glory.Here we go. You're ready to feel

(01:21:25):
patriotic, You're ready. The USis again the shark bite capital of the
world. Yeah, buddy, andspecifically, uh, Daytona, Daytona Beach,

(01:21:46):
And then was Lucia County or whateverit is that county is identified now
as the hands down leader for negativeshark interactions whatever, whatever the stupid name
they came up, but they literallychanged it. Shark bite sounds aggressive.
You know why because it is becauseit is like, would you rather get

(01:22:13):
bitten by that new kitten or mako? I think we know. Plus you
can if the mako's attacking and you'reholding the kit and I'm just saying,
may give you a few extra moments. All right. So the International Shark
Attack File, which is a thing, said that the world's hotspot for sharks

(01:22:35):
not just now, but of alltime. We are the goat and now
we're back in the lead on theannual includes three hundred and fifty one unprovoked
attacks since they started tracking this stuffback in eighteen thirty seven, Florida average

(01:22:58):
has seen nine hundred and twenty ofthem. By the way, South Carolina
is a fourth. Good for you, guys, and Australia is no longer
number one. So good to seethe crown back here in the US Man
And they also point out why thatmay be, and you know, it's
that typical smug euro kind of thing. They're like, well, in Australia

(01:23:25):
that we do more to mitigate it, and people don't go into the water
in a lot of places. Okay, one, that's not true. If
you've seen the beaches in Australia googleSydney Beach sometime it's wild. It looks
like those Brazilian beaches. But moreimportantly, we're just not cowards. I

(01:23:46):
think that's the bigger point here.Yes, does Australia do more to mitigate
it because of the ferociousness of theattacks, probably, but that also includes
basically they shut down beaches all thedamn time here in the United States in
Florida. Hell no, oh,I'm sorry, there's a shark eating people.

(01:24:08):
Well, people know that it's onthem. They can figure out what
they're gonna do so with that attitudeof screw all, you all, I'm
going in the water the same energy, remember the energy that the dude got
eaten by the gator head. That'sthat. That's kind of that has a
Daytona beach feel, if you don'tremember that story. Down in Texas,

(01:24:30):
this dude's he's like at a bar, and behind the bar they have like
this is right on Louisiana border.You know, they got a swamp with
a channel there so you can tieboats up coming in off of some other
body of water. But there's abig sign there that says, hey,
don't go in the water, dummy. There's a gator and like they have

(01:24:53):
the gators got a name and everything, like if you go, like if
you ever golf that golf course downin North Topsail there right before you go
across the bridge, there's a parthree I think it's number ten where they
have like signage on this pond andthey have the gator in his name and
everything. I've never seen him,so maybe he's not real. But so

(01:25:15):
this dude down in Texas, he'sat the bar, he's John. He
sees the sign and he is hesays and I quote f that gator and
then jumps in the water to immediatelyget eaten by the gator because the gators
probably he's probably not even hungry.He's just sitting there underneath the dock or
whatever, just you know, doinggator stuff. And all of a sudden

(01:25:40):
he's like, here's some dude directlyabove him who's talking mad trash right now.
Gator's like, what do you meanf me? No, no,
f U, sir, and thenboom. So it's with that energy,
I think that it's pumped our sharknumbers up. So you know, good
for you, sir. All righteight eight eight nine three four seven eight

(01:26:03):
seven four O. You got alittle Jeff Bellinger stuff there. All right,
you're all hung up on the dryers. I don't know. I don't
sell dryers. Go watch videos.Ros says, there's lots of dryer videos.
They're very in depth. I'm tryingto think I've ever watched like a

(01:26:24):
full sizzle reel on an appliance.I watched my cars before. Well,
like I said, we had tobuy a new washer because our was crapped
a beat after twenty seven twenty yearsand now we have a lovely like you
know, water stain in the kitchenabove where the washer is. Oh,
that's fantastic, but it's so dumb. We're at the point where we have

(01:26:44):
multiple videos of of washing machines.It look like NASA trains. Yeah,
like it shouldn't be that complicated,right, but there's so many Yes,
so dumb. Does it wash theclothes? Well? I hope so.
I mean, because let's face it, this is the problem with appliance,
especially ones that utilize water well energyeven is all these just you know,

(01:27:08):
they're trying to nerf appliances straight up. Let me remember the water heater story
from just down. So now youknow the biggest beef that people have is
the detergents don't work as well becausethey're like, ah, you can't put
poison in there anymore. Whatever itwas, but it worked great. Give
me some of that poison back.And whether appliances can do what their twenty

(01:27:30):
five year old brethren were able todo because the waterflow is obviously not going
to be the same energy use.You know, all these things that are
mandated into it are just working againstyou. You go to that twenty five
year old washer that Ross had thatthing probably in its heyday, with the

(01:27:50):
right detergent and not the crap wehave now. I bet that that was
a close cleaning machine. But itwas. But also in the figurative sense.
AnyWho eight forty four raced agic fromthe Weather Channel. H Ross had
to go get a new washer,and they're all the space shuttle. His

(01:28:10):
old one was like twenty five yearsold, and I'm like, those are
the good ones, right, theydid the job. Yeah, they broke.
You had like five parts that couldbreak, and they weren't expensive.
And now he can I think hecontrols the space station and now it looks
like it belongs to like the millenniumfalcon of the Death Star or something.
You know, yeah, overly common. Well, my mom and dad,
Yeah, they've got you know,the one button dry they still have the

(01:28:34):
dryers over thirty years old. Youknow, you replace a coil or two,
which right back in the day youcould do that yourself. Yes,
not anymore, replay. I've replacedstuff in my old dryer. It's like
cars, man. I when Iwas a kid, we all had trucks
with like three fifty engines, carburetedengines, right, a lot of Chevy
trucks. And I as a asa kid in high school could take that

(01:28:57):
engine apart and put it back mostlycorrect. I had the firing order all
scraping up on time, but likeI could functionally do stuff. Nope,
you're you open a hood now you'relike, there's cats man. Well yeah,
it's the same way with snowmobiles too, back back of the nineties when
I had, they were piece ofcake. Now you can't even get to

(01:29:18):
the parts now, so you gottahave a dealer even take the thing apart
for you, because you got tohave the right It's just you would get
crazy. Uh I had a car. I had a car a number of
years ago where there's no battery inthe in the thing. There are there
are ports or there are cable connectors, right, but if you pop the

(01:29:38):
hood, you don't realize the batteryis actually behind the passenger seat and you're
sitting there like I'll give you ajump, and then you're staring at it
like the hell do I you manhoodquestions? You know where that thing is
exactly? Study up? All right? What do we got? Weatherwise?
Calming down thankfully after pretty crazy weekend, it is uh Texas a getting big

(01:30:02):
storms now. Ground stop at DFWall the severe weather today is going to
be out across the southern place andprobably it's going to be Texas. We're
going to stay quiet, high pressure, and it could stick around for the
rest of the week, maybe eveninto the upcoming weekend. Today the warmest
day, mid upper eighties, sixtiestonight, and then lot to mid eighties
for the rest of the week untilFriday, where we may actually stay in

(01:30:24):
the mid upper seventies. We've gotovernight lows in the fifties starting probably maybe
tomorrow morning in some spots, butcertainly later in the week, might even
see some forties in the mountains.By Friday and Saturday morning, beautiful weather,
and it could continue even on intothe weekend. Did uh you and

(01:30:45):
Cee? Did they get a regional? I think they got I know Clemson
got a regional this weekend. Didthey get a regional? No? But
they think in this selection No.No, But like dude, I'm not
eat, I'm not even a collegebaseball guy, and everyone's losing their damn
mind. Did you see the whackchampion didn't even get a bid one of
the conference champs? Oh? Idid not see that. Yeah, I
mean interestingly, Yeah, everything's rigged, sorry to tell you. Hell yeah,

(01:31:10):
I know that, all right,correct, But the weather's gonna be
done whatever it is outdoors. Hopefullythe weekend this a whole. You know,
we're beyond my threshold three four days. I'm confident, and I get
beyond that, I get a littlenervous. So I will see it.
Give me something to do later inthe week. Okay, all right,
very good, Thank you, sir. Appreciate it, and we'll come back
with Jeff Bellinger next. Hang oncacoday radio program Bloomberg Update Now, Jeff

(01:31:30):
Bellinger, what's happening? Well,good morning, Casey. Stocks ended higher
ahead of the long weekend, hadsome positive numbers on Friday. This morning,
the S and P and Nasdaq futuresare higher, the Dow futures down
twenty six points. We get reportson consumer confidence and home prices a little
bit later this morning. Investors andFederal Reserve Board policymakers are especially anxious to

(01:31:54):
see a new reading on inflation thatcomes out Friday morning. It's the Personal
Consumption ex or pc PCE price index. It's the favorite inflation gauge at the
Federal Reserve. T Mobile is buyingus Cellular's wireless operations and some of the
company's spectrum assets. The total valueof this deal, which includes the assumption

(01:32:15):
of debt, is nearly four anda half million dollars, and job seekers
are finding fewer high paying work fromhome opportunities. Case the job site Ladders,
which specializes in high salary positions,compiled data from more than half a
million jobs posted over the last year. Just four percent of jobs paying at
least a quarter of a million dollarsper year were fully remote. Fewer than

(01:32:38):
one percent were hybrid. To guess, employers that pay that kind of money
want to see people at their desksfive days a week. Casey, well,
get a camera see boom. Thereyou go, all right at COVID.
Thank you, sir, appreciate it. Okay, have a good day.
Yeah, there you go. JeffBelling for Bloomberg News. All right,
two stories will get them in quick. First, I was, this

(01:33:00):
is fascinating. So I don't knowif you're following everything going on down in
Haiti. It's a whole lot ofawful. We referenced earlier on the show
a missionary couple from the United States. They were violently murdered down there after
their calm. They called a compound, but basically it was a high fence
house, which pretty typical and placeslike that, and it's just not getting

(01:33:25):
any better. Well, over theweekend, a just some random dude on
the internet sat down to do theremember on their tracking down Shilabuff stupid Flag.
It was kind of like that.They used a CNN interview that was
done in April where the reporter wassecretly whisked away to the home of one

(01:33:47):
of the gang lords, and littlefragments of the video from roof color to
you know, being able to shapethe house. Some things along the way
on the road that would seem notacuous to most people were all the clues
that were necessary to figure out wherethis dude's hiding. And it's in a
giant mansion, and he's got tonsand tons of guards everywhere, and this

(01:34:11):
guy's was there is a two milliondollar bounty on him. He reached out
to officials with you and they ignoredhim. So he posted this whole thread.
I retweeted I'm gonna retweet it againright now that clearly they found this
dude. By the way, thisis not barbecue barbecue. This is Barbecue's

(01:34:33):
buddy who also has an interesting name, the Haitian gang lord vitel Ome Innocent.
His last name is Innocent, soI don't know if that's a loophole
or what it works, but anyway, so not to be confused with Barbecue,

(01:34:54):
This is Innocent. They're two differentpeople, but they do like murdering
people together, so
