Episode Transcript

(00:00):
For those of you who don't know, I am broadcasting from our Greensboro station
ninety four to five WPTI, andspecifically our brand new facilities would sit in
downtown High Point in this building theyrenovated. They got a food haul in
it. It's right next to thebaseball stadium. I had some delicious tacos

(00:27):
and brisket yesterday, and it isreally really cool to see what they have
done down here, except it's myfirst time in the building. Like they
moved in just like a couple weeksago, and I haven't done at Greensboro
Broadcast since then. So I'm sittingthere and I roll in this morning about

(00:47):
about twenty minutes for the show,go to scan my little fob. Now,
yesterday I was able to gain accessto the buildings that somebody else's fob,
and then they gave me one yesterdayafter the show, once everybody got
here and I couldn't get the buildingstanding out front had called poor Ross this

(01:08):
morning. I'm like, hey,buddy, I hope you got some evergreens
So I don't know what did youwhat did you play them? I didn't
even hear Pete counter from Friday,so did the police come by because I
called him and reported a prowler.Okay, I just want to say this
the you're not gonna get away withanything in High Point, Okay, So

(01:30):
for all of you little vandal piecesof garbage. If my experience, standing
on the front on Elm Street,which is where the studios are, it's
kind of main the main drags there, and like the amount of slow roll
eyeballing I got from members of thesafety community, because there was even a
guy in a firefighter's at SUV thismorning, Like what is that dude doing?

(01:55):
And I'm just standing there on thecorner eating a banana. You know
what you do right before you heistsomething. I don't know. If you
guys know this, you don't wantto You don't want to conduct a heist
with low potassium it has this isthis is how they've caught many important guys.
Now I'm just standing there like I'mnot trying to I mean, I

(02:15):
am trying to break in, butI'm not really trying to break in.
So and so one of the othermorning shows had to. But they're like
doing a remote they're not even inthe building right away because they're doing some
remote broadcastings. So one of themhad, Oh dude, it's just what
a morning, What an absolute morning. But here we are trucking away with

(02:38):
our highly compressed mic sound banging awayin my ear. But uh hey,
you know we'll go ahead and getthrough it all right. Coming up on
the show, we got rodeo bulls. I w I have literally been in
this situation. Thankfully there was notthe injuries there was here. But I
have an escaped rodeo bullst worry,because of course I do. Actually I

(03:02):
have a couple if I think aboutit, but I have one that stands
out in my head. And thereason is you are bringing in a bunch
of animals, your rodeo bulls.You get the bucking horses, and you
know you've got them in a temporarysetting if you've brought them over to like

(03:23):
a fair grounds or an arena whereyou've done this, and yeah, you're
gonna have a you know, abig complex shoot system back there. But
at the end of the day,they're amped up. They're there around a
bunch of people, usually a lotmore than they are on a daily basis,
and literally their job is to besurly. Man. That's the gig.

(03:46):
You don't you don't. You don'tshow out on uh on. You
know, when it's your turn inthe shoot, you're not long for the
shoot if you catch my drift.So plus you get you bring in flank
straps, and it's a whole thing. We don't have to get into that
part. But there's this video andOregon where a rodeo bowl hopped a fence

(04:08):
surrounding the arena and then just startedrunning through the concessions area. So and
you know, concessions over at anevent like that, obviously you get you
know, you got people standing ina beer line, people buying hot dogs,
which probably if they're all beef,the bull is not pleased with.

(04:30):
And you know, you got peopleselling belt buckles and all sorts of stuff.
It's really a concessions area. Anda good rodeo is a lot of
fun. There's a lot of coolstuff there. I'd mean, I I
do miss that aspect of all thedifferent local county fairs and and summer rodeo
things around that was that was areally great part of growing up. But

(04:55):
we've had we had a bull getout once and yeah, it goes barreling
through there. Man, Except thisone. The fair grounds in Johnson County.
There's no tea Johnson County, Wyoming, which is where I grew up.
The fair grounds are right in theelbow of where I twenty five and
I ninety meet, so where thosetwo interstates converge on the edge of town.

(05:19):
The fair grounds are right there.And where the shoots are for all
the critters, they're on the backside, right adjacent to the interstate, just
down a hill. And this bullgot out at the far And Rodeo one
September and goes barreling through. Andyou got to understand, people are camping

(05:40):
there, most of the traveler rodeofolks. They have like campers or tents.
The kids, we would we couldtent camp out there, which we
would do, so you know,we're we're not around. The adults were
having fun breaking the law, andso everybody's there and this bull gets out,
and I want to say it wasone of Jim Geiten's bulls, and
he has really good bucking bull stuffthat he's brought into like PBR and stuff.

(06:03):
Anyway, so this bull gets outand just goes barreling through there.
And what killed me is like youhad people diving into tents if you want
to do the math on that fora moment while your little pup boy scout

(06:23):
tent probably isn't gonna save you fromthe bull. But yeah, you make
rash decisions. But this thing reallydoesn't knock into people. Now, this
one in Oregon injured I think sixpeople. Three people had to go to
the hospital. And he was thebounty bull, So you don't know what
that is. He that's like,that's like the badge of honor. Baby

(06:46):
that's the badass and gets out thereknocks into a bunch of people. Our
bull did the thing. It Ithink it did hurt somebody, but not
bad. But then it kicked intogenius mode, I guess, and it
figured out that the fence on thevery south end of the property for the

(07:09):
fairgrounds, because there's not usually livestock, isn't that firm, and he just
goes right through it like the koolaid man. And we're watching this because
now everybody with a horse or arope is trying to catch this thing because
they want to be the one thatropes a bull, which, by the
way, been there. Don't dothat unless you got something to attach it

(07:30):
to, because you ain't gonna winand he goes barreling through there, runs
up the embankment is standing on Itwenty five, stops and like a scene
out of a movie, a semitrailer comes flying around at you know,
like eighty and hits that thing square. The driver was fine, amazingly,

(08:00):
if you've never seen what a fullsized bull will do to a anything,
it's really destructive and bad news forthe bull too. So I was sitting
there watching that video and I'm like, yeah, this could have been so
much worse, and kind of likereminiscing on that thought there, man,
But yeah, bull knocking over garbagecans, sending people scrambling, lifts one

(08:26):
person off the ground, and thenjust runs over others. But it's a
crazy video. So since it's beena crazy morning, I thought I'd start
with a crazy video before we getto the crazy stupid news, which you
know, we got plenty of thatas well, including we need to stop

(08:48):
an invasion. So there's yes,Yet this is not going to be purely
passive listening this morning. Something hashappened. It's not okay. I see
that it is now a product oflike under you know, based on a
news story the other day, whichis kind of like running is there to

(09:11):
psyche you out so you don't seewhat's happening. And we're not gonna let
it happen. Not in America,not where the bulls can run free unless
your cow unless you cowboy up enoughto stop them. So we're gonna cowboy
up. We'll do that next hereon the CaCO Day Radio program, the
CaCO Day Radio Program phone number eighteight eight nine three four seven eight seven

(09:35):
four gonna be on the show.That's how we make it happen there.
Sorry, just checking something. Okay, ah, what a morning? What
a morning. By the way,there's one little nugget on the on the
rodeo bull story. In fact,I do have audio which I can now
access, so we get into thisand you're not really gonna be able to
hear it. But the whole timethat this bull is running a muck,

(10:01):
the crowd is doing a sing alongbecause there's an event. Obviously there's a
rodeo event going on, so they'redoing they're doing a sing along, and
so it's Lee Greenwood's God Bless theUSA banging away while this bull is banging
away. Get the higher ground open. I will say this, I don't

(10:31):
understand this going to higher ground.It is my experience a bull will gladly
run up the hill it wants to. But okay, all rightbody behind me
was just yelling, and it waseverybody was just trying to get out of
the way. Video is an inherentlydangerous sport, and especially bull riding,
but it is a very rare occasion. We've never had it here at sister's

(10:54):
rodeo. It does happen, Butwhat we do we plan for it?
I don't know I and it didn'tlook like it. It's a what happened
is exactly what happened, And Ilike, there's not some big game plan
at a row. If you goif you ever go out to Wyoming,
you go to Cody, Wyoming.They have they have rodeos literally all the

(11:18):
time for the tourists. In fact, a lot of guys that I grew
up with that did high school sports, uh, they would try to go
make money on the weekends going overand doing the Cody rodeos and uh yeah,
bull riding. I'll just tear youup. Every guy that I knew
roade bulls had his shoulder decided tonot be attached to where it's supposed to
at least some point during his highschool career. But it is Oregon,

(11:46):
so you know, we have toget a little touchy. Night was a
rarity as a stock contractor hired bythe Sisters Rodeo and representing the Sisters Rodeo.
You know, that's not something thatwe ever want to have happened.
We obviously can't replicate that scenario,but we're gonna take him home, buck
him again, do some training withhim, and try to you know,
never put him in that situation again. Uh again, I don't know what

(12:09):
the situation what he was bountyable,he was premiumble, they called different stuff,
a different rodeos, different names,but he's the man that day,
So I don't know. He hadhimself a big day other than that,
right, ye know, things arepretty boring, especially with uh if you're
when you're dealing with rodeo stock,because you're not you're not intermixing everybody.

(12:35):
But there you go, there's yourthere's your bull update for you. All
right, we gotta we gotta getinto this. I became angry watching the
the flavor of this story, theway that it was being the way that
it was being covered, The narrativethat had seemingly affixed here. And uh,

(12:56):
even though I'll bet that this guyis an a hole on wheels one
hundred percent, it's he didn't doanything wrong in my opinion. So this
guy, you know, up inNew York, they got to have whoever
they're evil purse they're caring of theweek is or this woman yelled at a

(13:18):
guy who's just he was out justbird watching, and then you find out
weeks and weeks or sometimes months laterthat this story's not as simple as that
she's not some racist Karen. Orremember the city bike nurse. Remember that
whole narrative with the city where theshe stole that she was stealing the city

(13:39):
bike from these three young black men, and she's a big fat racist and
now she's crying because she wants themto be emmett tilled. Those are not
my words. That was actual analysis. If you remembered that story, well,
then it turned out she didn't.It turned out the day they were

(14:00):
trying to utilize a bike, becausethere are different let me be very clear,
there are different types of those electricbikes, and the new ones are
the ones you want. So whatyou had is they wanted to have the
ones that they used to get overthere. I guess they wanted the new

(14:20):
ones there for later when they actuallywanted to pay for them. So they
were running people off who were tryingto get those new bikes and then they
would leave, but they weren't payingto use them right then. They just
wanted them there for later. Sowhat was going on was way outside the

(14:43):
bounds of what should be going onand is dishonest. But the whole narrative
was and they immediately suspend her fromher job. She's pregnant, and everyone
labeled her a big fat racist.Well now we have the the evil banker

(15:03):
New York City banker slugged woman atpride event. Oh man, and that
sounds horrible, right, You're thedude from Billions, right, You're just
walking through there punching LGBT people becauseI don't know your merger didn't go through
or whatever. I mean, thatis the narrative they put out there,

(15:26):
and I'm reading this story and there'sso much more to it. An investment
banker caught on video slugging a womanin the face during the Brooklyn Pride Parade
lashed out during an argument about thewar and Gaza. A source said,
here's what actually happened. He didn'tlash out during an argument because there was

(15:52):
just a verbal argument. It isso disingenuous. What is absolutely clear is
this dude. Dude comes walking outof where he lives. It's in Park
Slope, Brooklyn. It's basically Manhattan. It's hipster central by the way near
Williamsburg there, and so it's hisit's his moon, batted up as any

(16:15):
slice of real estate in this wholeus of a. So he comes walking
out of there and they're, youknow, they're having all they're having all
this events, but they're also havingprotests that within the LGBT group there's the
pro Hamas folks and they're screaming ateverybody, and he's not participating. We

(16:38):
have a behind the scenes controversy.I gotta I gotta bring some folks in
on. Poor Rosscott wrapped up init. He didn't do anything, but
I'm as you know, I'm doingthe show today from the Greensboro Studio,
our brand new studio facility where myfob didn't allow me to come in this
morning. So what a day.And I popped down in the studio here

(17:06):
for ninety four or five WPTI it'scool. I was talking to you to
say, it's like a spaceship inhere. Love it. And then I
start trying to move stuff around.And you got to know that in a
radio studio you're gonna have three tofour computers you're using simultaneously. And so
for me and I guess it's reallythe same for Ross, he's just on

(17:30):
the other side of it. Wehave what's called a next gen computer,
and next gen think of it aslike the log if you ever see like
a radio log where they got allthe stuff run. And that's one.
We have a call screener computer,so when you guys call in, he
has to go to that separate computerand then key in your name what you
want to talk about, and thenI can then access it in my studio

(17:53):
to put you on the air orhang up on you if you're being dumb.
And then we have also your generalcatch hole, so you're gonna be
doing web browsing there. Your emailswould probably be on that. And I'm
trying to think what I I guessaudio editing for like putting podcasts together.
So anyway, you got three computers, so you got three separate mice monitors.

(18:18):
Sometimes you have a lot more thanthree, Like two of my computers
have double monitors. So again basicallya spaceship. And you're using them,
and I use The way that Iuse them is I run mice with both
hands. Most people do, Rossdoes as well. You're you have mice
on the left and the right ofyou correct, okay, all right,

(18:42):
sandwich between a bunch of them.Yeah, yeah, and so you use
it. So I'm using my lefthanded my left hand here right now.
If I wanted to do the callscreenor if I want to play audio on
the button bar, that is thethat's where you get you know, stuff
like that. Okay, and Istart trying to use two of the mice.

(19:04):
The third one is my personal laptopand optical mouse with me, so
that works perfectly. The other twomice, the buttons are reversed. I
want you to understand what I'm tellingyou. So it's a mouse with the
rolling wheel in the middle and thenthe two top buttons. Some mice have

(19:27):
the other side one. These don't. They're a little you know, little
little novo mice. Pretty standard exceptwhen you go to then click, ah,
I want to use this mouse righthere to click on my word document
that's got all my stories and toflip to another story in the navigation pain
and then you click it. Itdoesn't do anything. It does the thing

(19:48):
where it opens a little mini menulike that you want to expand collapse,
and you're like, what the heckdid I hit the wrong button? And
I do this forever yesterday, Andthen I realized our program director has it
set up this way because he's theone who's primarily using this studio here for

(20:10):
all of his duties throughout the day. And I'm like, what is going
on? Jat my man? Hegoes, oh, yeah, no,
I'm left handed, so we haveto reverse the buttons on the mice.
Now I'm not left handed. Mysister is, and I remember as a

(20:30):
kid she had her scissors and shewas very smug about it. Days are
my scissors, So of course Istole them because I'm big brother. Whatever
it's they're so important, man,I know, I look. I feel
bad about it now, but youknow, when you're eight or ten,
what do you know? But Ididn't know you guys did this to all

(20:51):
of your electronic equipment, render ituseless. Because you also know another left
handed person that you've worked with fora long time now, because I am
left handed. Yes, yes,yeah, I didn't realize you guys screwed
everything up like this. I havenever in my lifetime heard of this.
And I was up all night wrotetossing a turning in bed, trying to
figure out why it would even needto be a thing, like you said,
as a left handed person, thereare things that are very hard or

(21:12):
almost impossible if you don't have themfor a left hand like for instance,
like you said, the scissors.Now, a lot of people if you
are not left handed, you mightnot understand this because of the way that
the blades cross on a pair ofscissors. If you're a left handed person
and you're using a basic pair ofscissors, yes you can still cut the
paper, but it's hard to say, like cut over a line perfectly because

(21:33):
you can't see the line when you'recutting. Because of the way the blades
cross. Makes sense, makes sense, that is important to have. That
is a tool where when you useit, you'd be like, this is
hard. I need a different sortof tool, or I need to adapt
it or change it in some way. Same way with the basic thing like
writing on a piece of paper inelementary school when you're using the old you
know, the number two pencil,right, because if you're a right handed

(21:56):
person, you're writing left to rightbecause that's how society works, and you
don't have to worry about smearing,well, not all of it. You
could convert to and start writing Arabic, which right correct correct, yes,
yes, but here in the UnitedStates that it's not what we do right.
So, as a left handed personwriting when you're in grade school and
you know your your hands on theleft, so your hand drops down and
you were going to naturally smear whateveryou're writing, it's very hard to write

(22:18):
left to right and not smear yourwords. Basic stuff like this, where
you're like, this is the needsto change in some way. I have
never in my lifetime, and I'vebeen using mouse as my entire life because
of the generation that we are rightright, born in the late seventies,
early eighties, I've never in mylifetime used a mouse and been like this
is not workable or I need tochange. I've never even thought of the

(22:41):
idea. It has never crossed mymind. I've never had an eye it's
never felt like an obstacle to me, like say a pair of scissors in
grade school. It's never been athing as a left handed person. I've
never heard of this. And Iwas tossing and turning last night trying to
figure out if maybe it was me, right, I guess he called me
and he said he called me aderogatory term because he what I questioned it.

(23:03):
He goes, oh, no,that's what ross's left handed, He'll
tell you. And then I toldyou and you went, that's lunacy.
So I was tossing and turning lessontrying to figure out if maybe I'm weird
the way that I use it.But like I said, I've never it's
never even dawned on me that i'dhave to change the buttons or if that
would even be possible. But like, I've never thought of it, like,
oh I wish these buttons were switched. It's making my life difficult.

(23:25):
It's never been a difficulty. SoI came in this morning and the first
thing I did was I sat downbecause I was like, and maybe I
used the mouse in my right hand. I don't even realize it, and
the mouse on my left side controlsthe PC. I sit down on my
console here and my left hand goesin that mouse, and I'm going across
the screen in my PC and I'mclosing stuff and I'm opening stuff and I'm

(23:45):
editing audio and it's no issue atall. Now the other one, I
have another one on my right handside. This controls the next gen.
This controls the phone screener. Iput my right hand down and I can
use it. Not an issue.It's not a problem. I can You're
a witch. I can use bothsimultaneously and not have any problem whatsoever.

(24:07):
And it would never even dawn onme that anything would possibly need to change.
Look, I'm opening closing a worddocument. I'm opening up a twitch.
I'm gonna check out the Hayes forsheriff. Oh wow, look that.
I'm gonna give myself some baby.You know I'm not one for self
promotion. So then over another one. Look at this. I'm I'm gonna

(24:29):
play a sound effect here, andit's not going to be a problem.
Are you ready for this? Here? All right? So, I don't
know, sounds like JT's story justgot canceled. I don't understand. Not
only this, but they said itreally did bother me because I never heard
this before. That maybe there's aproblem with me as a left handed person.
Maybe it's me. I contacted abunch of my left handed friends,

(24:52):
and oddly I have a lot ofthem. Maybe I don't know how this
worked out. It's one of thesethings where you got left handed militia.
What's going on here? So it'swhen they say, like my best friend
Michael in Chapel hillhere, I wouldhave bouldozed his house one day. Yeah,
left hand best friend growing up inSchenectady, Phil left handed, old
interns left handed. So I contactedthem and I'm like, hey, do

(25:14):
you have you guys? Do youguys switch your mouses around? Because you
have an issue with the mouse.And they had no idea what I was
talking about. And I explained itto him. I said, I said,
I have a boss who switches theleft and right inputs on the mouse.
He says, because he's left handed. They said, we'd never heard
of that. Hold on, I'mgonna send him. I'm gonna send him
a text. We're gonna do ittogether. Hanging Hey, lefty, you're

(25:38):
getting demolished on the radio right now. Better dial in, But try to
get a phone with the numbers reversedand see how that works. Like,
I'm thinking about my my console,my radio board here. Now I love
being able to send our boss amessage like that if you need to switch,
which is once again, I contacteda bunch of my left handed friends.

(25:59):
We've never heard of this for it, never even done. Was it
a thing like a pair of scissorswhere you're like, hey, I need
some different to do this task.Never even thought about if you're if you
need to switch the buttons on yourmouse and he's in radio, then shouldn't
he also have to switch the entirelayout of the console right, because the
concepts should be on the right andnot the left. Yes, yes,

(26:23):
should be switched and then phones buriedon the other side. Yes, yes,
it makes no sense. And thisboard, the new board in our
spaceship studio, allows you to assigneach pot without having you know, normally
you'd have to rewire all that stuff, but you can just select it on
a digital screen here. And yethe was the last one to use it.

(26:45):
And I walked into the studio andhe still had his stuff cued up
in here and it is laid outexactly as you would expect. Mike,
I'm on Mike, I'm on thefirst pot, which is the main microphone,
and then I got the return overtour. It's the middle of the
board, which is ross, andthat creates a mixed minus here. That's
uh, you know how it's supposedto be. So it's just him,

(27:10):
is this story, I guess.And it doesn't matter. I mean,
if it works for him, ifif it's easy, it matters for me
because I walk in here and Ifeel like I feel like a toddler.
I feel like I'm having a strokeright, Like my hand's not working because,
like you said, we've been usingthese computers, right, you've been
using a mouse since grade school forever. Yes, we play an Oregon Trail

(27:30):
or Lemonade Stand or whatever the gamewas at the time. You're used to
using it that way. Lemmons therelove me some lemmings. Yes, And
I keep going back to the Parisscissors. There's never been a time where
I've used a mouse or I've beenlike this isn't workable. I need a
different tool, or I need toset it up different. It isn't like
a can opener or a Para scissors, or even like writing with a pencil

(27:51):
in grade school. Where you smearthe ink. It's never been an issue
I and I, like I said, I was so so concerned. I'm
like, maybe it's my issue asa left handed person. I contacted my
left handed friends and they're all likethat that is absurd. Why I think
I I mean, this is thesame dude who's got a Boston Red Sox
tattoo and is a kiss fan.Like you know what I mean, like

(28:18):
maybe an intervention, I don't know. And then so yesterday he kept you'll
love this. So yesterday he keptlike he would just pop over and say
stuff like, you know, backat the thirteen hundreds, the Catholic Church
should burn lefties. I'm not exaggerating, by the way. This is the
stuff he was coming over to mewith. And then finally he walks over

(28:42):
and he says, you know,he was talking about how he went to
Catholic school and the nuns made himtry to write with his right hand.
And I completely understand all of thesethings. And I've also experienced some things
like this this being said, withthis specifick thing with the mouse having to
switch the buttons because you're quote lefthanded, I think he's doing it out

(29:04):
of spite to spite right handed people. And it was an attack I think
so, because it is years ofpent up frustration. There's no mechanical reason
for it there. It isn't likea pair of scissors. I want to
know who. I want to knowwho at Lenovo or whatever, who makes
mice thought this was a feature weneeded because he didn't. Obviously he didn't

(29:30):
like engineer the mouse. It camethat way, so that's crazy. But
then he comes yeah, he comesover. He's like, yeah, so
we had one of the nuns totry to make me right with my right
hand, and I finally had hadenough and I'm just like, yeah,
yeah, remember when they took theNative Americans hair, culture and language?
Tell me how they made you holdyour pencil again? And then he just

(29:51):
goes damn. And then that wasthe end of the conversation yesterday. But
oh, anyway, I'm sorry.I got quickly constracted yesterday that I'm not
one to even engage and you knowthis, Yeah, yeah, I saw
the text, just like, I'mout of this conversation. But you did
though, you do see what Butyou engage, but you do so kind
of privately because it obviously costs yousleep. Do you know what I'm saying,

(30:15):
because I'm like, I don't understandwhy as a left handed person you
would need to do this like it. It's sort of like when you play
video games too, will you playCall of Duty? It's always made me
laugh as a left handed person whereyou can set up your controller for quote
left handed mode, where when youplay Cold Duty, the trigger right if
you fire your gun in the gameis the right trigger on the controller,
but you can switch it so it'sthe left one, all right. Why,

(30:38):
I don't know. I've seen I'veseen, like with the Diablo game
on the computer thing they have likethis this weird set up thing that you
can like autot of different games haveAnd I'm probably not describing this correctly,
but it like changes a bunch ofstuff and then you have to cross your

(31:00):
hands from using keyboard. And I'mjust like, I don't I don't know
what that is, but I don'tknow, maybe that works for some people.
It was. It was just arather interesting little little conversation anyway.
I just I had to bring itout because it's just one of the weirdest
things. And then I so inreality, he's kind of making you look

(31:22):
bad. Man, that's what I'msaying. He's throwing me into this madness
and this yeah. Yeah, Rossdoesn't want I didn't want to argue about
this. He was talk about thecrazy dude punching at the LGBT event.
Now, I will say because I'veworked in JT studios in the past,
right I said, He's my firstprogram director in Morehead City when I was
like super young, and I appreciatehow his studio was set up for left

(31:45):
handed people. I will say thisbecause the editing software we'd use for phones
was called what was Real Real tobegin with, and then a box Pro.
Yeah, there's one sitting in hereof ox Pro right now. Actually
it's on the right side of me. I actually managed for us to get
a vox Pro. I wanted sobad, Like I got a job offer,
yeah, and they were He waslike, what are what are I
gonna do to keep you to stayhere? And I was like, I

(32:05):
want to vox Pro and He's likedone. I was going I want a
jingle package done. That was it. I was a masters you go for
the Mi Karta, you get thegood one. But everything was on the
left hand side. And I didappreciate that that makes sense. Oh no,
the vox pros on the right here. Although it is movable, he's
got it wired so you can pickit up. It's on a base and
move it to either side. Sokoumba yan all that good stuff. All

(32:27):
right, there you go. Nowyou're up to speed on that. And
we trash talked the boss this morning. It's not even seven point thirty.
It's gonna be a good day.So I will get to the actual banker,
the evil banker just out randomly punchingpeople who, if you really think
about it, is probably a dudeyou'd want to live next to. Yeah,
yeah, I said it. Sowe'll get into uh, all of

(32:52):
that coming up here in just afew minutes. Phone number eight eight eight
nine three four seven eight seven fourhang on, Welcome back. It is
the Cacoday Radio program here at seventhirty five. Appreciate you joining us.
This stupid mouse, I swear man, you know what, you know what.

(33:14):
I'm just thinking about this. Thiswill be the last left handed thing
for a moment. Ros. Ifthis is what he want, I think
I should reverse the pedals on hiscar. Help the guy out right,
because that would that that would bean obvious thing that would be very helpful
if that's what we're gonna do,and I will I will agree not to

(33:37):
use the old intern hazing joke ofsending them to engineering to retrieve a left
handed microphone. I will also avoidthat. So see, I can change
I can change this guy up inNew York, though I don't know about
all that, and I don't knowthat he should have to based on the

(33:59):
information that's out there. You havebecause look, if you have to come
up with a villain for you know, you're writing a Hollywood screenplay, rich
Manhattan investment banker is a pretty goodvillain, right. They don't care about
anything but money. They'll come in, they'll do a hostile takeover of a

(34:22):
business, they'll fire everybody. They'reheartless. Oh, they're just awful people.
So it's pretty easy. When there'svideo of that dude punching some chick
who won't shut up that you knowhe's a monster, and it was in
an LGBT event in Brooklyn, inPark Slope. This guy's gotta go.

(34:50):
In fact, don't take my wordfor it. Take his neighbor who they
interviewed, who's got some stuff.She's got some thoughts, not at all,
like when we had, like Isaid, we have black parties,
was sitting outside, never says hidit aim being nothing And he's been here
a few years. Bad name.So when you've heard about it, I
believe it. But I heard aboutthis. First of all, I worked
a parade with sir with the cityEmergency Management, so we do security.

(35:14):
So I saw after it and Isent him to seventy Precinct Community Council.
I said, and they're like,we're looking into it. Never did I
think it would be my neighbor acrossthe street. You're killing me, man,
wait till I tell me the video. I saw the video. It
was absolutely horrific, and I thoughtto myself, it's just like the random
people punching you know that we've heardabout women, but no I can't.

(35:34):
And it was a hate killed,like a racist or something. I didn't
know what it came from, butI knew it came from a bad place.
And who is Never really think it'sthis guy across the street. But
he's the kind of guy. Ablack car picks him up at six am.
You don't see him. He doesn'ttalk to his neighbors, you know,
very just to himself. They alsotalked about how like his wife is
the same way and if they sayhello to or she tends to ignore them

(35:59):
and just go in or out oftheir condo there that you know, it's
it's a nice building. He's probablywhat three four million dollar condo and and
so obviously he must be just ahorrible person who wanted to punch somebody at
a pride parade. And that wasthe narrative that was out there and was
gladly New York Times carried that water. Everybody did. Well, that's not

(36:24):
what happened. According to the informationwe have now. What happened is the
dude comes out of his building ismet with not just the Pride parade,
but also as they have infested everythingelse. You have the you know,
the the Yahamas group there, andthey're literally they're also yelling at LGBT people

(36:49):
for not joining in their part ofit. There'd being a general nuisance,
it sounded like. And this guymade a comment, and the comment he
made was one that you have thoughtof. By the way, four million
dollar condo, by the way,So the guy's doing okay, so it's
easy to demonize him. And hesaid, you guys are on the wrong

(37:13):
side. After getting literally in hisface people demanding he, you know,
say genocide, say it, andhe just looked at a bunch of a
bunch of protesters who simultaneously had thehamas scarf thing on and you know,
rainbow, all the rainbow stuff,and he said, you're on the wrong

(37:36):
side. That's not a new take, but it was enough to trigger the
protesters. According to even the statementsfrom this woman who hates her neighbor,
he was covered in some sort ofred liquid, little fake blood action.

(37:58):
According to the report, four peoplefrom the group who he had made the
comment to had been screaming at him, circled him physically keeping him from moving,
and then threw this liquid all overhim. And as he's getting a
thrown one of them chest bumps,the dude who falls on the ground smashes

(38:23):
his knee and sliced his leg up. According to source, he stood up
and the closest of the four thathad been circling him is this woman who's
still yelling, and he pops herand he hit her once and then used

(38:45):
that chaos to literally escape. Thegroup. Did not throw any other punch,
did nothing, So I would askyou what the hell did this guy
do wrong? What did he Whatwould your reaction be if somebody a group

(39:05):
of people surround you. All right, already, you're antenna's up. This
is not a good situation. Remember, we practice situational awareness here and you
should be aware that this is nota good situation. You're just trying to
go right. You don't want anythingto do with it. Yeah, you
said you responded to something, butwith words, and now they throw something

(39:29):
on it. You don't know ifit's hydrochloric acid that's popular in the Middle
East, don't know if you've heardof that. If it's actual blood,
which is a huge hazardous issue.If one of these lunatics drew their own
blood to throw it on you.You throw blood or spit, you throw
a liquid like that on a policeofficer, See what charge you catch?

(39:55):
And how would you react? Ithink somebody get punched earlier. And I'm
not sitting here trying to sound likea bad ass. But if I don't
feel that I have egress and nowyou're throwing stuff on me, I'm going
to get physical with you immediately.This woman is calling him like a bad
neighbor. Yeah, it's a badneighbor. He doesn't say hello, he

(40:20):
doesn't he keeps to himself. Hesounds like a perfect neighbor to me.
I was just gonna say, Rossloves this guy perfect. Well, he
never will. He'll never talk tome. I won't even know he's there.
Sounds like he's a banker. He'svery focused on his career and his
work. And six am, blackcar picks him up, takes him in.
He's probably there until late. Righthe comes, he comes out of

(40:43):
his house, he sees his clownshow outside this circus as side of the
street. He's like, well,you people, just shut up. I'm
trying to go to work. ButI gotta live here, you know,
I don't Obviously, I would neverwant to live in New York City because
it sounds god awful. But eventhis small town wake forest, my small
street of mine. If I cameout of my house, you know,
in the early morning hours to goto work, and I'm tired of I

(41:04):
focused. I got so much stuffto do during the day, and there's
all this stuff in from my house. I mean the same way too,
be like, go away, getoff on my street, leave me alone,
and then you throw blood on theguy and then you surround him like
a crazy mob. What's he supposedto do? I'm surprised he didn't hit
more of you. The guy lookslike he's fit too, obviously throw a
punt. And here's the thing.And I'm not I'm not encouraging people to

(41:29):
go out and hit somebody. Butone of the things that people fail to
understand that can be a tactical advantageis in a situation, not everything's the
same. Don't take this Once you'rein a position where you can use force,
don't use it sparingly. And that'snot me telling you to go out

(41:52):
and mag dumb somebody. I'm talkingabout with your hands, right, because
the chances are these idiots who arescreen at you and willing to throw blood
at you. Have you seen theirstupid little training videos. If you come
out scary aggressive, it is sodisarming to people you have. You have

(42:15):
flipped the script, right, notjust I'm gonna shove you away, I'm
going to try to shoulder through there. You come out and and you know,
uh, millet. From a militarystandpoint, you talk to people who
operate in and in some of theSpecial Forces stuff, it is an overwhelming

(42:36):
show of force that they will utilizein situations because it's effing scary, and
that's what you want. You wantthem to rethink the whole thing that they're
doing right now. And if that'stheir friend getting butt over teakettle with you

(42:58):
one shotting them or doing something inthat moment, they most of them will
not know how to react because theydidn't expect it, because that doesn't happen
in Williamsburg. Because they're right andyou're wrong, and they could do whatever
they want. And that is amoon. It is a moon, absolute
moon, bat Mecca. I've stayedthere in a hotel across from Manhattan.

(43:25):
I don't know where you'd go.That would be the only thing concerning me.
And yet this guy is they're tryingto make him the new hate filled.
He should be charged of the hatecrime. He should have hit all
four of you. Sorry, andyou're gonna be shocked to learn you're ready.

(43:45):
So what do you think? Whatdo you think the woman who got
hit and her friends told the policeRoss. Do you have that audio?
Do you dubbed that audio in?Oh? You didn't. Oh, that's
because they left, that's right,They not that they didn't just leave when
police tried to intervene, they dearet. They didn't have her under arrest,

(44:09):
but they were trying to find him. They literally blocked people from accessing
the person who had been assaulted sothey could whisk her out of there.
Absolute lunacy. But that's the story. So when you hear it, understand
the rest of the details. Allright, seven forty six race Stagic from

(44:32):
the Weather Channel. Try surrounding him. Good luck? Yeah, for yeah,
four hundred pound hippies. Oh youcan't go anywhere. Yeah, yeah,
we'll see about that. And thenthey physically assault you. Not gonna
go. Well, you just survivedall the sharks man, Yeah, they
just bought sharks. Yeah, soI did all around, all around?

(44:53):
Yeah yeah, yeah, and howdo yeah? I mean is what it
is. But congrats to the wolfpack. Speaking of animals, right,
boy, they're hitting some missiles lastnight. Yeah, you're watching baseball.
But yeah, they'll go to acouple couple teams. Got a couple teams,
Yeah, yeah, yeah, quitea few. It's all acc sec

(45:15):
So we'll see how that goes.Virginia's in there, and Texas A and
M. That's right, Texas Aand M is in the sec Now I
forget about that. But anyway,yeah, looking good. And as we
talked about yesterday, case and youreminded me, or actually told me,
I didn't forget because I never knewabout the open start this week. The
warmer weather coming in just in timefor Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday.

(45:40):
This is when we start seeing temperaturesnear or above ninety degrees hot.
This day looks like it's going tobe Friday in and around the Triangle,
could get into the mid nineties,load of mid nineties for Saturday and Sunday
too. So the warm upcoming cloudsunshine today because we are seeing a little
cloud maybe a little fog this morning. Other than that, probably the best
day of the week, a lowto mid eighties. Then we start sneaking

(46:02):
into the mid eighties tomorrow. Thenwe'll start the ninety plus run on Thursday.
It's probably gonna last to at leastMonday. At this point when no
rain of any measurable amounts here inthe forecast, not actually mentioned down in
South Florida, Central Florida, veryheavy rainfall, and as of the eight
o'clock update from the Hurricane Center,what we're gonna pay attention to this maybe

(46:23):
for coastal areas as we get intonext week, the southeast coast, there
is this area of rain and thunderstormsdisorganized at this point, but as it
moves northeast and out over the WesternAtlantic off the southeast coast, a very
small chance in seven days of itdeveloping into something about twenty percent. So
we keep it eye on that forinterest in the water. But right now,

(46:44):
doesn't thinking much about what's our firstname? Do you? What do
you know at the top of yourhead? Alberto? Okay, all right,
yeah, well we'll wait and seeand we will chat in an hour,

oh five, we'll do a callin. I'll tell you at the time
how it's gonna work, and youcan maybe hook up with a couple of
these premium passes. You want tohear it absolutely bat crap, crazy drug

(50:06):
story of a man who took ittoo far in the woods. A man
is warning people not to chase rainbowsor eternal life after he was persuaded by
a crooked psychic named Steve to dosome quote pretty outlandish things. It what

(50:35):
why are you laughing? Have youhad have you run into Steve? Before,
what did he try to tell youto do? Okay? In a
quest, the man says to quotelive Forever, the quotes I'm about to
read you are insane. This isfrom the man. In hindsight, I

(51:00):
can see where I was blindsided byambition and immortality to really question what was
going on at the time that accordingto Oh I love the dude's name,
the guy's name is Johnny Turnup,who is a semi professional long distance runner

(51:22):
and coach. Quote. But whenyou're lost in a forest and your mind
is fried from sleep deprivation and acid, it's easy to think hunting pigs while
naked is normal. I feel likeI should read that line again. When

(51:45):
you're lost in a forest and yourmind is fried from sleep deprivation and acid,
it's easy to think hunting pigs nakedis normal. We've all been there,
right, Not judging this guy.Looking back, I can see I

(52:10):
was hoodwinked by psychic Steve. Andwhile I feel his intentions were good,
I think he had been mixed upwith necromancy for so long and spent so
much time in the company of cultleaders he didn't know the difference between reality
and fantasy. Well, that's Imean, that is something we have all

(52:31):
jokes aside experience. I can tellyou when I was working with Papashango,
who is my personal shaman, Ihad the same issue. But once he
got into the necromancy, I canNo, you can't bring the dead back.
I mean that you're you're asking forproblems there, You're asking for trouble.
So I was like, Papashanka,are separate ways? I mean traditionally,
didn't you guys bury your cat inthat cemetery up in Maine? Isn't

(52:54):
that exact? And then it cameback. What's the problem. You sound
like a quitter, sir. Whatbegan is an innocent, illegal boar hunt.
What is this a real story?Yes? Yes, hold on,

(53:17):
that sounds like it sounds too goodto be true. It's like that story
but the woman who buys the goldentickets to have and that's like you know,
satire sites, and it's not real. It's just really well written.
No, they have links in thestory to the actual police report and everything.
All right, So what began isan innocent wild boar hunt became more

(53:37):
complicated for turn Up and friends whenthey're uh, some sort of something that
they were given by Steve, wasspiked with acid. Steve, who also
had a spirit friend who was fivehundred years old, had apparently instructed Steve

(54:00):
on what to tell them. Hewas attempting to mold their minds with the
LSD. Apparently, if you thinkyou can live longer and healthier, you're
fine. The problem was the boarhunt quickly spun out of control as the

(54:24):
turnip said that he had been convincedthat the pig they were after was actually
a magic pig or something. Butbasically police found the dude running around the
woods naked, tripping on LSD,saying that he was hunting an eternal life

(54:44):
pig, and they have issues withthat, not the least of which is
apparently it's not hunting eternal life pighunting season or something? Was he was
he hunting the eternal life pig with? Was it? Las? We're getting
there once we had discarded our clothes. It was a bit embarrassing because we

(55:08):
didn't know where to look. Butthen Paul, one of the other guys,
picked up his shotgun and screamed,he who dares And at that point
it was time for the hunt tocommence, and then they you know,
they get in there, they're doingsome hunting. It's nighttime. One of

(55:29):
them does have a gun, butapparently then they got a stick, and
the whole thing is crazy. Butalso this is the dude trying to remember
a lot of it. So anyanyway, don't don't do that. I
know you wouldn't because you're a professionaland incredibly responsible. But have you ever
known, ever in your lifetime,in these forty plus years on this planet,

(55:51):
someone who has experienced or experimented witha hallucinogenic drugs like LSD or mushrooms?
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah,yeah, you know like that I've
heard. Anyway, you could Youcould be sitting in your living room by
yourself and be terrified of your wallsthat are suddenly breathing on top of you
and and talking to you. Andoh my god, I'm the Beatles and
I just played chess with God.These are things that could happen. Let
alone be in the woods naked withyour boys a magic. It gives eternal

(56:22):
life. Can you imagine if allyou had to do to live forever was
eat bacon? I'd beat But wedon't live forever except vegans. It's just
wild. Everything's just people are absolutelyout of their mind. Man. I

(56:44):
like how he's still kind of opento the possibility because they didn't get the
pig. Man, there's nothing butcraziness. There's always next time, you
know. Well, yeah, Iguess they killed a rabbit, though I
don't know if you get anything offthe rabbit, which is one of the
charges here. I needed that thismorning just to feel so normal. So

(57:09):
thank you, thank you very muchfor that, sir, appreciate it.
You probably don't want to hear turnup truck jokes, so we'll not do
that, all right. I gottaI gotta do a poll of the audience
to see if you're okay with somethingso much like the NFL. Major League

(57:35):
Baseball's deciding, hey, we're gonnado a bunch of these European games,
and also down in Latin America.I think they're doing Mexico City Series.
I think the Twins actually are tiedup in one of them. I I
don't know how everyone feels about it. I know if I know the players

(57:57):
aren't necessarily big fans in the NFL, it because you gotta go and and
you know, you gotta even ifyou have like if it's a butt a
bye week. It's still there isthere is a downside ross by the way,
Ross thinks that he was Apps andhe kind of was. Mathematically the
Bills got screwed on this last year. But now I'm completely against them going

(58:21):
over and like, oh, wegotta spread the games, you know,
spread the word of the game overin Europe. I hate the European Games.
I hate them as somebody always endsup getting injured either on the on
the field over there or when theycome back, because it completely messes with
you with the jet lag. Youknow, if you're like a West Coast
team where gets awful, man,it puts you like two weeks behind.
I hate I. Well, lookI've traveled. I've traveled Europe, I've

(58:45):
traveled to Asia, Asia and Australia. You want to really kill yourself on
the hour change. If you canavoid light and alcohol, you like,
most of it will fix itself.If you get hammered on the plane,
or if if you start you know, looking at dusk and dawn and and

(59:07):
and like calibrating your calendar to it, it can screw you up. But
I every time I've been over toEurope, I've been fine, like almost
amazing. I think the issue withthe Bills last year was I think they
got in on like I can't remember, it was like a Thursday or Friday,
and there was a six hour timedifference, and then if they've been

(59:27):
playing over in Germany, there's likewhat goes up to eight or whatever,
and then they'd be on the fieldon Sunday and it was an early morning
game. It was like super early. And then I think they had a
there was something stupid, like theyhad like a Thursday game once they got
back, so they had like threeor four days to rest. Yes,
you guys, mathematically they had aproblem there, so and you lost that
game, right, Yeah. TheDolphins no something no to Jacksonville because they

(59:52):
were actually they were over there forthree weeks or something. Yeah, that's
right. Yeah, they did backedthe back. They were completely adjusted because
they had played over there the weekbefore. Okay, I remember there was
something that sounded super sketch with theschedule when you were explaining it, because
it was more than just whining aboutit. It was like, yeah,
that is kind of messed up,but now Baseball's doing it. In fact,

(01:00:14):
the Mets series is going on overthere and they have like the British,
Like a British soccer guy who worksfor TNT now who's doing baseball play
by play Over the last few years, they kind of rolled them over and
I don't know, man, itjust does it hit the ear right to
hear a British dude doing baseball playby play. I think, like I

(01:00:39):
said, I'm against them playing.I don't like the games overseas. However,
I think a lot of these Englishbroadcasters are just professional as all hell,
and I think it sounds amazing.I like listening to the play by
play. I remember there was oneThere was one game like years back now.
It was when in Duhar I thinkit was in Duharr when he was
on the Yankees and he hit ahome run and think it that's who it

(01:01:01):
was. And I remember to thisday, I still remember that call.
The the play by play guy waslike absolute bucks office and it was amazing.
It was such a great play.They have some phrases and delivery styles,
but also I don't want them gettingany of their British on stuff,
do you know what I mean?Like like we just all had to learn

(01:01:23):
about cricket the other day, right, and that's fine. That's that that's
your sport that we didn't know anythingabout, and then we beat you by
five ups or something, which isapparently a big deal. I don't even
know what the phrase is, butI know the other phrases are googly and
you guys sit around and eat cucumbersandwiches? What? What is? What?

(01:01:45):
What sport? Where you would youeat cucumber sandwiches? What's if I
tell you a sport? I hearwhat you're saying, but I'm still actually
hear the audio. I like itsounds good, but maybe it's just the
guy doing the play by play.But I have a feeling like, because
here's I have a feeling that theguy doing the play by play could It's

(01:02:07):
sort of like Morgan Freeman could couldnarrate anything and make it sound interesting,
Like I'd want him following me sayingwhat I'm doing, and I think it
would find it entertaining. He's thatit's a sandwich with the crust cut off,
like a picky toddler and cucumbers.Growing up poor in New York,
we had cucumber sandwiches with we wouldwe would put the cucumber on the white

(01:02:30):
bread. And I don't think wewould put anything on it. That was
the thing we ate as a poorfamily in New York. So I mean
tomatoes and mayo, butter, butter. We put butter on it. It
was good. Butter tomatoes and mayo. Tomatoes and mayo is the least meaty
sandwich that is still delicious. Andthat's because you put a leader. I'll

(01:02:51):
even put it in. I'll putit even. I'll put it in cucumber
sandwich for you guys. You puta leader of Duke's Mayo on it with
some l like heirloom tomatoes, andthat is fine dining. Well. I
will also say that cucumber sandwich isone of my cucumber tomato sandwich is one
of my top three foods ever.Great. It's so good and slatter than
mayo though, right, yep,yeah, absolutely so you're getting your fat.

(01:03:13):
Don't worry, all right. Sohere is the uh what's this guy's
name, Darren Fletcher, and whathe's calling is the end of the Mets
six' five win. They turneda double play on the Phillies to go
ahead and win one of the secondgame of the series. But it doesn't
matter anyway, So double play toend the game. Here is the final

(01:03:34):
call from Darren Fletcher. Tell me, tell me how you feel about this?
Smith agates, Castillanos wants to takehis time, and who could blame
it in the circumstances. He mustbe feeling so much pressure out there.
Not the close off. I alreadystretching the imagination. That's Edwin Dias.
It's a closer by commit. Seehe's the man today with the pressure on
his shoulders and Castiano's bat explodes.Are they going to get the river at

(01:03:59):
hope? They gotta do? Thecouple pay to win the game. What
an end? The shots at bet, the run arounds at home, plaints
and the doll fighted into mcclub atthe first Basement, Kate's alongso and the
New yorl nights. Somehow we've stunnedthe Phillies, honey, and they win
Game two in London, six fiveseventeen hits. What trauma? What a

(01:04:21):
game? What a finish? That'sincredible. The run around the base,
what is that? The run aroundat the base? Dop. That is
a regular season game against the Philliesand the Mets. And he made it
sound bigger than the World Series.That was that guy's a professional. That
was great. I will take thatany John Kruck, who doesn't even turn

(01:04:43):
his mic off to fart. GimmeJohn Cruck if the new Phillies playback,
will take that any day over MichaelKay and the Yankees. I'm over Michael
Kay. I really oh wow,Oh no, Britude, it's the same
call every time. Say it's thesame. Climb over it. I wouldn't.
I think would be amazing to Betty'sretired is if you were to combine

(01:05:04):
that dude, put him in thesame booth that dude and John Sterling,
it'd be well through the modern science, you know, methods and stuff,
and just the comparison of the two. I just it sounds so soccery,

(01:05:27):
and I think that's what it is. It's just anytime I hear a voice
like that, it's either soccer,rugby. Right. I'm trying to think
of things where I've actually paid attention, and you just do you hear that
voice and you assume the sport,right, That's all. I don't know.
Man. I heard that and thatsounded like the greatest game ever.
And it was just a mid seasongame against the Phillies Meds in London.

(01:05:49):
Then maybe they shouldn't have blown athirteen colony lead and they could be calling
all this stuff America. Yeah.I don't know, I'm torn on it.
Whatever, he does have a lotof energy, I will give you
that, but uh, just whatdo you have sunflower seeds chewing tobacco?
What is It's a cucumber sandwich atthe turn? It's not called the turn

(01:06:12):
shirts the seventh inning stretch. Thinkabout it. We'll be back. It's
going to be an interesting general electionand it is becoming clear the national media
is here for the heavy lift,and that is the destruction of Mark Robinson,
not just at the local level,not just a wral drawing political cartoons

(01:06:34):
where he's a clan member, whichI guess if you're new to the area,
is a thing that happened. Theydrew a cartoon depicting the black lieutenant
governor, the first black lieutenant governor. I might add, I know they
normally like stuff like that in theprogressive media. It's the first this.

(01:06:56):
Oh we just here, we havetwo NBA coaches, both black, and
let's ask about that at the finalsthat we played that audio yesterday for you
that day, it didn't like anyof that, so they drew him as
a clan member, and that's atthe local level. But what is now
happening. I went to Drudge yesterday, which I almost never do to pull

(01:07:17):
stories, but I do it becauseeverything is so different there, and I
don't know if that's Dudge it isman. They hate, hate Donald Trump
and apparently hate Mark Robinson. It'swild. It's wild, and there's multiple

(01:07:41):
stories, don't I don't go toDrudge the same way I used to go
to a Drudge where it was auseful you know, a conglomeration of a
lot of the different sites where alot of our stories might come from Daily
Caller and you know, normal associatedpress stuff, and where you know,
you just have this collective because itmade it easy to peel the onion on

(01:08:04):
stuff. You know, if themain story is this, there's usually a
bunch of sub stories and a fewof them are going to be useful.
Not now, not if you gothere. Now it's I don't know if
Trump broke him over there or ifit was you know, a lot of
people speculated was sold and some Moonbat'sbeen doing it and Matt's on an NDA,

(01:08:26):
but also he's been a back andforth, dude. So I don't
know. I just know what isprinted there and what is linked there,
and it tells a story. Right, if you put five links about a
larger topic, it becomes pretty easyto kind of figure out your take on
it, as weird as that sounds. And they had a bunch of Mark

(01:08:50):
Robinson his horrible stuff on there.In fact, let me let me go
there right now. And I justread you some of the some of the
headlines here. I was surprised becauseobviously this is a state governor's race,
all right, So if you goto Drudge right now, because I now
you all don't have to, canI'm gonna do it for you. Don't

(01:09:13):
give them the clicks if you don'twant to. Alito caught on secret recording,
no compromising blah blah blah. McCrone. This, let's see here,
Trump suffers quadruple polling blow. Apparentlyeverything's falling apart. Guy's gonna lose.

(01:09:34):
They got Rachel Maddow quote here,she like AOC. Rachel Maddow and AOC
over the last two days are bothon record as saying that if Trump wins,
they're gonna put them in jail,which now I understand why people commit

(01:09:57):
voting fraud and vote one hundred times. I'm kidding. But also, Donald
Trump isn't going to put Rachel Maddowand Aos Oh my god, could you
believe if you put them in thesame cell. Can you imagine having to
be in the next cell over doingyou know, doing a dime for something

(01:10:20):
because I don't know, you droveacross a mural in the street or whatever,
and you have to listen to thosetwo. That's where you're like,
hey, can I be I canI go to death row? Can you
put me over there? You couldn'tbuy enough stuff from Red to shut him

(01:10:42):
up? Sorry, And then directlyunder it main page photo, here we
go, big picture of Mark Robinsonstanding there is looking scowling at something.
I don't know what it is,probably Greens City Council members, something kind

(01:11:03):
of famous for that. Republican govnominee entertained conspiracy theories that the US government
was behind the attack on Pearl Harborthe death of General Patton. By the
way, the Pearl Harbor thing isa conspiracy, but there are a lot
of folks who misconstrue what the conspiracyis. The conspiracy is not that a

(01:11:29):
bunch of US Air Force or wasn'tthe Air Force at that point, but
whatever. But basically, a bunchof US military members bombed Pearl Harbor and
some they got a hold of somezeros or whatever and buzzed it and did
it. That's not the conspiracy.The conspiracy is that most of America did

(01:11:50):
not have an appetite for war.They had just come off World War One
or you know, which should havebeen a tip off that it was called
World War One, but I digress. That's a joke, by the way.
But they just come off the GreatWar. They don't want anything to
do with this, but some peopledid. FDR is definitely one of them,

(01:12:13):
if you want to get on therecord with this stuff. And so
that there was a threat that thiscould happen, and some people took a
weight and see approached because they went, ah, you know, if this
does happen, then you know peoplewill agree with what I want to do.
That's the conspiracy theory. Does thatsound like it's outside the realm of

(01:12:40):
possibilities. Remember it was just afew years before that that the government was
poisoning liquor to kill people. Iwant to repeat this. It was within
what ten years, maybe just alittle more, where the government was poisoning

(01:13:08):
random liquor so that people would stopviolating prohibition. Can you imagine that story
breaking right now, right where they'rejust say, ah, we're having a
we're having too many there's too muchalcoholism out there, so we're gonna randomly

(01:13:32):
poison every hundred bottle of Crown Royalor whatever it is. So I understand
that people might speculate on stuff likethat, and frankly, you could make
a pretty convincing argument that even ifit's subconsciously that people weren't doing everything that

(01:13:53):
maybe they should be doing. Sothat's where they're going to go and get
in there. And then it linksover to a story from the New York
magazine Bark Robinson is Mega's great Blackhope, and they give a recitation of
his Greensboro City Council speech, veryyou know, very flowery wording, and

(01:14:15):
that bart's well written. I thinkit's a fair assessment. But then immediately
they bring in an activist, aprogressive activist, and some professors and it's,
by the way, it's the sameprofessors that are always in the WRAL
articles. They seem to be kindof the go to if you want to

(01:14:39):
write a hit piece. He calledjoy Behar a she beast, referred to
Maxine Waters as old maxipad. Youcalled him a clan member. I understand
it's all childish, but now andagain, it's fine to analyze and look

(01:15:03):
at what he wrote and what heposted, and he should be asked about
it and the abortion thing, andwe've asked him about it here on the
show. You are very opposed tothis, yet you availed yourself of that
service in your younger years. Andhis answer, whether you like it or
not, was at the time,we thought that this was the right thing

(01:15:25):
to do, and through growth andspirituality and everything, we've come to the
conclusion that we were wrong, andwe don't want others to make that mistake.
And you can think he's lying,you could think he's telling the truth
whatever, But what this entire articleleads to is he's an idiot, he's
a moron. He's dumb. That'san actual quote. He's dumb. Where

(01:15:58):
is the where is the the oneline here? Well, you get the
gist of it. And this woman'slike, yeah, I tried to talk
to about this particular issue and thenI realized he's a moron and he's too
dumb to get any of it.Well, how's he supposed to defend himself
against that? They keep trying tofocus too in the article and like,

(01:16:20):
oh, well he you know,before doing this and being in front of
the Green Disversity Council whatever he was, he was working upholstery. They keep
focusing. Yeah, he kept Theykept put and they kept in a derogatory
manner, say he's a reupholster,roll and I will I will take somebody
who does that, or a plumber, or a contractor, or an electrician
or a mechanic, I will takeone. I will take one of those

(01:16:40):
over a thousand politicians any day.Yeah, who have never actually done or
or created or made anything of value. I'm sitting I'm sitting in downtown high
Point right now. I could throwa rock at probably one hundred people who
have spent the majority of their lifein some capacity doing exact actly the kind
of jobs that Mark Robinson was doing. They're not illustrious, right, They're

(01:17:05):
not why the city of high Pointwas the show place, right. These
were the behind the scenes. Thesewere the workers who actually made it happen.
And then had to watch all therich buyers and everything come in here
and then the politicians give them keysto the city and crap. And I'm
on team Ross here. I'd ratherwalk across the street or go over to
the Irish bar they have over herewhere all the regular folks are hanging out.

(01:17:29):
And those those are the people thatI would want to spend my time
with. And does that mean thoseare people that also can understand and relate
to the to the average person,because that's who they were, right,
They were just contributed. They saidthe job they were doing it, they
did a great job, they owneda business, whatever. I trust that
person to understand what I am goingthrough. And I'll say this both the
politicians and the imposter. Some ofthem are dumb. Some people are not

(01:17:55):
traditionally intellectual. Some people are muchmore street smart then you're giving him credit
for. But the reality is tomake that a derogatory thing is a grave
miscalculation and one that continually gets madethat I don't understand anyway, Race Agic
Weather Channel. Sorry hitting him late, but he's got you know, basic

(01:18:17):
call me news for the most part, So uh, fire away, sir,
what do you got what? Oh? Oh, what is happening,
all right, all right, Idon't know what's going on, all right,
so let me just do this.It's nice right now and probably still

(01:18:41):
be nice so though it get alittle warmer by the weekend. Okay,
all right, there you go.Ray, are you there now? I
don't know what's going on? Hey, can you not hear Casey? He's
there, he can't hear us.All right, we're out. So there
you go. There's your weather,brought to you by Me and Ross and

(01:19:04):
a mixed minus. That ain't right. We'll be back with Jeff Bellinger.
Hang on, good morning. CaseAmerica's largest pharmacy, CVS, has its
store branded drugs recalled that a ratetwice as it's as much as its competitors
Walgreen and three times more than Walmart. That's according to a Bloomberg analysis of
public records. Now. Some ofthe recalls Casey were due to contaminated water

(01:19:25):
being used to make pain and fevermedications for kids, nasal sprays for babies
being made using the same machines usedto produce pesticides, as well as kids
drugs being made too potent. CVSsays they offer more than two thousand store
brand health and wellness products. TheUnited Auto Workers federal corruption watchdog is investigating
union president Sean Faine for allegedly retaliatingagainst other union officers. It's a thirty

(01:19:48):
six page report. Part of itclaims that the union has stonewalled and not
cooperated in federal efforts to keep theunion corruption free. The report also says
that Fine retaliated against the two officersfor not approving expenditures that he sought on
official a strip of some of hisduties overseeing the union's relationship with Stilantis.
An FDA advisory panel approving Eli Lilly'streatment for Alzheimer's disease. The advisors agreed

(01:20:12):
that the pharmaceutical giants new drug helpspatients in the early stages of Alzheimer's and
that the benefits do outweigh the risks. The FDA is expected to make a
final decision on the drug by theend of the year. And finally,
Casey, let's look at the futuresof the markets. Opening in about thirty
four minutes. Not good, Alot of red. The Dow is down
a third to one percent. Boththe NASAC and the S and P are
both down around a quarter of onepercent using a machine to make pesticides and

(01:20:39):
then baby medicine. Did I hearthat correctly? Yeah? Probably not the
smartest thing they could do. That'sthe understatement of the day. All right,
Dan, thank you so much.I appreciate it. Thanks guying.
Oh my, yeah, Dan schwartzmenthere, Bloomberg News. How does that
happen? How would that like?Think about that in your setting. Let's
say you're having to mix up someout know, some rat poison and you're

(01:21:01):
you know, like, you knowwhat you know? It makes this a
lot easier to mix a sippy cup, throw the point and then you know,
don't worry, we'll hose it outand then you know, the kid
can have a sippy cup. Thatis wild. How anyone goes, Yeah,

(01:21:21):
no, that sounds like a goodidea. Go ahead and do that,
man. But there's a lot ofdumb people and much of the dismay
of New York Magazine. It's notjust Mark Robinson. So you can sit
there and savage him in your stupidlittle news story here. I mean,
just all you gotta do is listento analysis from like NBC News over Israel's

(01:21:44):
rescuing those hostages or excuse me.The hostage is being released, which is
how they worded it. Listen toGabe Gutierrez. How this is somehow a
bad thing. Administration confirmed the USdid not participate in militarily in the rescue
operation, but was provided intelligence andsupport of it, according to a US
official with knowledge of the matter.Still, there are concerns that Saturday's rescue

(01:22:06):
may hurt efforts to reach a ceasefireand free the remaining hostages, including the
eight Americans, three of which arebelieved to have been killed. Secretary of
State Anthony Blinken is in the regiontoday to try and secure a deal,
but the rescue will likely make hisefforts even more difficult, and that's why
the administration may negotiate directly with Hamasto release the remaining American hostile undermine Israel,

(01:22:28):
but the current proposal fails, accordingto US officials, they say this
latest rescue only strengthened Netanyahu's determination tokeep pushing for military operations in Gaza instead
of pursuing a ceasefire. Yeah,so this is a bad thing. I
don't know if you know that,the rescue and the hostages, because then
it may make it harder to andto some extent, I understand why Hamas

(01:22:50):
would be cheesed over this. Butone of the ways you could handle this
is, if you kill an Americanhostage glass I'm going to repeat that,
if you kill the eight American hostages, you live, it's all turned to
glass. Now maybe it's not asspecific as that, but you don't get

(01:23:14):
to take and kill American hostages.
