Speaker 1 (00:00):
I appreciate you all out there listening, and just cause
just because you don't hear back from me or necessarily
hear it on the air. Well, there's several options as
to why that is. One, you would not believe the
amount of email we get. It's stupid, and most of
it is stupid. It's not actual listeners contacting us. It's
(00:23):
press people sending interviews. Occasionally, salespeople want you to do stuff,
all right, sometimes that can be profitable, and it's just
a bunch of nonsense because you end up on every
political mailing. Like there's a reason when they put the
what was it, the can Spam Act or whatever they
(00:43):
called it, they exempted themselves because they're just a holes
who want to load you down. That being said, I
really do try to at least glance at everything, but
you're you're not necessarily going to get a response. That
being said, Also, if you send a story and it's
a good story and then you hear it on the air,
(01:04):
go ahead and take the w right. There's a lot
of times people send me stuff and it doesn't suck.
Most of it does, but or is repetitive. I should
say it doesn't suck, but it's like, I'm on it,
don't worry about it. So but here's the deal. If
you're polite, even if you're persistent, I totally respect that.
(01:25):
So let me say this. John. I'm assuming that's your
name because it's the handle here, so, or at least
part of it. I have no idea what this is.
So we've had a guy, Ross, you're gonna have to
help me. We've had a guy. He's actually sent me
emails since last week. He loves the Stephen, he loves
(01:48):
our Thursday segment. So maybe I'll just put this in
his lap. He's like, guys, if you're gonna talk about
shows or video games that are getting ruined, you got
to please ask what Netflix did to try to pronounce
this Kakya guru. I think it's anime of some sort. Bro,
(02:14):
I'm glad you like that or don't, apparently or don't
like what Netflix did to it. I have no idea
what that is. I and Ross has no idea what
that is.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
Yeah, I've never heard of that before in my life.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
That being said, if your your point is that Netflix
took your beloved thing and then uh screwed it over, uh,
you're probably right and I feel bad for you so,
like because that fits with the theme.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
And we've said it before too in the show, like,
it's nothing against it, I think, like, and we've talked
to Stephen Kent about this on Thursdays, where it's like
a generational thing with the anime, right yeah, yeah yeah.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
And some people are into some stuff, some of they're not.
I made fun of Ross yesterday for uh not doing
the Lord of the Rings, right, made a little joke.
Speaker 2 (03:02):
I mean, I've given it a shot. Yeah, I like,
you know, and I respect Tolkien's work, but every time
I sit down to watch it, I fall asleep.
Speaker 1 (03:10):
Yeah it's okay, it's okay. Yeah, so when it But
but to your point with the anime, yeah, I definitely
think it is. I think if you and I were
ten years younger, we'd probably be like, oh yeah, I
can't believe what those bastards did.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
But I have no ideas like the anime, the whole style,
I don't I don't get it. We don't even like manga.
I don't know what the heck that is. I don't
just lost. Oh I was looking at the other thing, right, yeah, yeah, yeah,
it's completely different.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
Oh whatever. Uh yeah, So But here's the deal. If
you say that happened, I totally believe you, because we
do enough of those stories and I'm sorry that happened
to you. And I actually do have a little knowledge
on this because I remember educating myself on Cowboy Bebop,
which I had no I had no idea what it was,
(04:00):
but I remember when Netflix did it, like the anime
people were beside themselves, and I read a couple and
I watched a couple videos from like It's a Gundam
and a nerd rotic, so I would at least understand it,
and they you guys, got totally hosed on that.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
I think the outreach too in the anime like community
or the fandom. Once again, going back to something Stephen
told us on a Thursday, right, is that this tends
to be a place where the political correctness hasn't really
struck yet, right, correct, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
That was that was the beef. And I think with
the Cowboy Bebop, it's basically it's a female character who
runs around murdering people and essentially Daisy Dukes and a altertop, right,
which is not surprising in the world of anime. And
so when they made the show they kind of put
her in that even though people knew she couldn't wear
(04:51):
what she was wearing for obvious reasons. And then but
the problem was the actress made a video making fun
of the fans for like, oh, you're not getting what
you want, you bunch of pervs. And it's just like
it was Ghostbusters all over again, like why do you
do it? Was I believe it was even before they
aired an episode or something, and she wrote she made
(05:13):
some video, uh, calling everyone who likes the original concept
essentially a bunch of child molesters or site was was
really aggressive.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
Yeah, I mean that that trend of like self sabotage
of the product before the product is released is nuts.
Speaker 1 (05:29):
Yeah, yeah, I think there was. The trailer got released,
people made some comments like well, she doesn't even look
like it and and and she's like, well, let me
make a video that'll be helpful. So that's the only
one I know of. But if they if they messed
with your cock Kake Guru, I'm very sorry, And if
I mispronounce it, I apologize. But if you listen to
(05:49):
the show, you know that I always mispronounced stuff, although
this time I'm not trying to. I just have no idea.
So there's there's that. Yeah, yeah, that was kind of
a trend, wasn't it. I'm trying to think it was
Ghostbusters the Cowboy Bebop on Netflix.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
I mean, wait, wait, put a bunch of yeah, we
just saw it was snow White.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
And I was just gonna say and then the I
don't say the og, but the big one everyone knows
is snow White. Although she didn't shoot the video, she
was given interviews and then there was some video she shot.
But however, you get there, you still got there. So yeah,
it was pretty pretty dum. I honestly, I gotta think
(06:31):
they start writing this into contracts. I think after snow
White they got to be like all right, yeah, no,
I don't know how they write it in there. But
there's too much money on the line. There's way too
much money. Doesn't she have a movie that's opening like
this weekend too that people are already con like, I
(06:51):
haven't heard anything about the movie itself, but like people
just assume, because she's so hated, it's going to impact
this next movie. If it does, she done right, I
have to because that's the easy path for studios. They're
(07:12):
just like, oh, we're just not going to hire you anymore.
Like she had some stuff in the can, some other
stuff she was contracted to. But if she tanks a
second movie just with her mere presence, that's it. Hollywood's over.
I'll have a tall coffee leave room for cream. I mean,
that's it. That would be very impressive. So I'm sorry
(07:37):
what happened to your anime, sir, because again, if you
write a nice email, I'm not even gonna be like
guys that furry port. I don't know what that is,
just ross and I just don't know anything about it.
But I have in other instances try to educate myself,
and I'll just I'll take your word for it, Okay,
all right, six fourteen here on the k CODA radio program.
(08:02):
Coming up, will continue to try to find the Epstein
thing that doesn't exist, although now we have official statements
as to what the heck might be going on, we'll
run it bias. See if you buy any of that garbage. Yep,
That's where I'm at. I'm officially in a really really
really untrustworthy foul mood over that. And I did not
(08:28):
like what I saw yesterday with the Press secretary trying
to explain it and it's not necessarily on her, but
unfortunately she is the she's the face of the administration.
And I don't want to be treated like a child,
and you're treating me like a child. And don't get
me wrong, I can act like a child. And if
(08:49):
that's what you want, I will. I will hold on
to this. I'll put it in my pocket and then
bring it up at every step of the way. Asked
Tom tillis I remember stuff? And I am. I am
not pleased with the the response because I was looking
(09:12):
forward to you, I say, because I just assumed during
the White House Press conference that they were they had
to bring up this Epstein stuff. And I didn't even
care if it was like the gotcha right where it's
like MSNBC blah blah blah, reporter, who cares, you know,
bringing up the Epstein stuff to play gotcha? I just
I want answers. Give me answers, it make it makes sense.
(09:35):
Explain to me why things are on the desk, why
there's binders, why you know the indictments are coming, why
any any of this was going on when apparently none
of that was true and uh and actually it was.
Speaker 3 (09:53):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (09:54):
Well, there's a couple, but really the person who asked
the media's question was a Doocey from Fox Pam Bondi's
Home away from Home man. And the answer, let's just say,
was not satisfying. How's that are? You want to hear it?
All right? So here is the exchange. Prepared to be disappointed,
(10:17):
slash angry, slash mouthing what the hell to yourself?
Speaker 4 (10:21):
Yeah, I looked at the circumstances surrounding the death of
Jeffrey Epstein. According to the report, this systematic review revealed
no incriminating client list. So what happened to the Epstein
client list that the Attorney General said she had on
her desk?
Speaker 5 (10:39):
Well, I think if you go back and look at
what the Attorney General said in that interview, which was
on your network on Fox News, go ahead.
Speaker 4 (10:45):
And Roberts said, doj may be releasing the list of
Jeffrey Epstein's clients? Will that really happen? And she said,
it's sitting on my desk right now to review.
Speaker 1 (10:54):
All right, I want to reiterate before you hear her answer.
So Doosy brought quotes so I didn't even have to
pull the audio. I was gonna pull the audio. I
don't have to pull the audio. That makes Ross happy?
What what John Roberts, you know, what's essentially? What's up
with the Epstein list? Specifically references it, and Pam Bondi
(11:15):
says it's on my desk. All right, we're good. I
know it's early. All right, we're all on the same page.
Specifically referenced this is very important, specifically referenced. Didn't ask
about anything else in that question. Specifically referenced Epstein list
(11:37):
on my desk. Okay, all right, here we go.
Speaker 5 (11:40):
Yes, she was saying the entirety of all of the paperwork,
all of the paper in relation to Jeffrey Epstein's crimes.
That's what the Attorney General was referring to.
Speaker 1 (11:49):
And I'll let her all I'm sorry, was I not?
How big is her desk? Do you remember when they
were talking about the amount of paperwork because they were
criticizing the Southern District of New York for withholding it
like oh, we only got a few boxes, and but
there's a truckload or there's you know, uh crates full right?
(12:15):
How is she getting work done? Is it some like
comically in like a cartoon movie? Desk where you have
to you know, like you know, like an old Looney
Tunes thing, or you got to take an elevator to
the top of your files. The what are you talking about? Oh,
she meant all the stuff. And by the way, nobody
thinks that he has a list. That's like, it's just
(12:37):
you know petos, right, it's just god like everybody's name
under their and their contact info. When we refer to
a list, you're referring to what you're able to extract
from the totality of the communications. Right. It takes a
little work there. But again, and I said this yesterday,
you're dealing with some of the most scheduled people in
(12:58):
the world, and while they're not going to right go
into the island to rape minors, you're able to tally
traditional community communicate. Ross deletes anything you send him. I
just want to point this out. Ross deletes anything you
send him, and that includes me. Maybe would you keep
(13:23):
your wife's stuff or do you have a do you
have a delete thing for that too?
Speaker 2 (13:26):
Like text message threads?
Speaker 3 (13:28):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (13:28):
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (13:29):
The only text message threads I currently have on my
phone or my wife's and my mom's. Yeah, okay, as
soon as I'm done with a conversation on text message,
it's deleted.
Speaker 1 (13:37):
Yeah, don't get me wrong, there's something he needs to save.
He'll save it. That's fine. But yeah, he's like he's
And I promise you a minor investigation could still extract
those text messages. You could have our we send each
other NERD news for Thursday yesterday. So if I wanted
to get a hold of those links yesterday where we're
(13:58):
going back and forth through the power of you know,
digital whatever, you could.
Speaker 2 (14:06):
Go ahead extract those, you know, and when it comes
to PREP, like you send me links for PREP, I
will delete those and then during the show, I go
into the deleted folder and I repost them on the
on the account.
Speaker 1 (14:15):
Dangerous look at you? What happens?
Speaker 2 (14:18):
If it's just like super delete, it's just like a
it's an OCD thing, like I hate the mess Like
I saw you posting the photo of your inbox of
your email. My current inbox is zero yeah.
Speaker 1 (14:28):
Min's twelve hon Yeah, actually no way, hold on. Some
losers sent me some stuff over Night's twelve seventeen. That's
after I delete. I went through.
Speaker 2 (14:35):
Currently currently in my email inbox for work, I have
four emails, the prep email I send to myself so
I can repost links and I and I send it
to myself so I know that it went through to
other people. Correct what I myself on the list. Yeah,
that's other pre ted Bud's communication guy talking about a
live hit next Tuesday. So I'm keeping that in there
to remind myself something about the gym downstairs from sales
(14:57):
and Trevor for cash keywords to put it for you.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
I was gonna go, look, yeah, I looked at the glass.
Speaker 2 (15:04):
Okay, that's nice. But yeah, anyway, four emails and mainon
Bucks and they.
Speaker 1 (15:09):
Could still figure out Ross like our entire communications from
last week. So I don't want to hear this garbage.
Hold on, let's hear the rest of this garbage speak
for that.
Speaker 5 (15:18):
But again, when it comes to the FBI and the
Department of Justice, they are more than committed to ensuring
that bad people are put behind bars. They have an
operation going on right now called Summer Heats, which has
our murder rate trending.
Speaker 1 (15:32):
By the way, I want to admit I was wrong yesterday.
Speaker 2 (15:34):
Ross.
Speaker 1 (15:35):
Do you remember our little exercise yesterday morning or I
had you pretend to be a reporter and asked me
about the Epstein thing, and I went, oh, I can't
believe we want to talk about that when there's all
these dead kids and Texas. Yeah, huh, I just had
the wrong thing. They were gonna pivot to. Whoopsie. That's
my bad. All right, I'm up against the clock. So
(15:55):
when we come back, I will play the full cut,
but there's no new information, and I'll do it victory
dance because I was right. I just had the wrong thing.
They were gonna pivot to. Whoopsie. My bad will be
right back. Ross was doing a little scouting and it
didn't go well, not like Vietnam scouting. Uh, but you know,
uh new office. So they have been absolutely gutting and
(16:19):
renovating every aspect of the Raleigh building, not just the
studios like that went on. We just in fact, we
just had our open house last week, so and Ross
showed up the client events and the salespeople look like
on I think we mentioned on the air, they look
(16:42):
like they just saw Jesus, not in the not in.
Speaker 2 (16:45):
That way, but it was it was like a bigfoot sighting.
Speaker 1 (16:48):
Yeah yeah, it's probably a better reference. Yeah. So we
just had that. But the whole building. They've been screwing
around with right and some and some of it looks
pretty good. That's why ask ROSSI peeked his head in
his look at the gym there. I kind of saw
it as well, But you gotta because we've always had
a athletic locker room, but we didn't have a gym
(17:10):
in the building, so I was curious what they do.
We've also had a store and when I first started,
and I don't know, Ross, if it was anything different
when you first started. It used to be a little
Greek dude who would take twenty minutes to make a sandwich.
But he was a nice guy. He had the stuff
(17:30):
you wanted, you could you could drop off dry cleaning
there and for whatever reason, like I don't know, eight
nine years ago, when they did like a soft renovate,
they create and we talked about it on the air.
The Trustworthy vending store right where there's nobody working there,
(17:52):
there's cameras I guess, I don't know, and you go in,
you grab all the stuff you wanted off the shelf,
and then it was on the honor system for you
to pay, and we went through that. How long was that,
like six seven years they had.
Speaker 2 (18:06):
Yeah, there's a bunch and they had like tons of
refrigerators with sandwiches and different stuff.
Speaker 1 (18:10):
It was good, Yeah, until COVID hit and then I
got a little soft and then it picked up again,
and yeah, I enjoyed that. Although sometimes the machine wouldn't
work and so you could fill out. It was a
double honor. You fill out a slip or whatever, and
I'm like, I gotta do a morning show.
Speaker 2 (18:24):
It would suck because you would come in super I
would come in super early to work and I'm like, well,
you're gonna stop anywhere because I got the little store
downstairs right And then I'd come in and the dumb
checkout machine would not be working, so I would take
what I wanted. I would look at the cameras and
be like, I'm coming back tomorrow to pay for this,
and yeah, I would go back and around.
Speaker 1 (18:39):
I'd always pay absolutely yep.
Speaker 2 (18:41):
I don't know, yeah, yeah no, because you're a good person.
And also you don't want to get fired for stealing
a tune of fish sandwich or whatever, like why were
you let go?
Speaker 3 (18:51):
Well?
Speaker 1 (18:51):
Yeah, it was really hungry. Yeah, man, But now they
put in a and I don't know if this is
going to be the finality of it. They have like
this super futuristic venum. Shit, I have not touched this thing.
Rosst it right.
Speaker 2 (19:09):
So this past weekend, uh, you know, fourth of July,
three day weekend, Lincoln's been off school, so he just
wanted to go for a long ride. So he legs
going past the museum downtown. We've mentioned that tons of times.
Oh yeah, yeah, legs driving bas to the big Earth,
you know, and taking a picture of it, and you know,
so you just want to drive past it, didn't you
want to go into this past weekend. So on the
way back Mark He's like, hey, let's stop at the
(19:29):
radio station and see the remodel. Because I was trying
to explain.
Speaker 1 (19:32):
To her because the whole studios everything is completely different
and it's hard to explain. And even if except.
Speaker 2 (19:40):
Right the actual working bones of the studios haven't changed,
which you can tell on numerous occasions here when things
when things blow up, But yeah, it's hard to explain.
Even if you send a video, it's hard to really
wrap your brain around how much here it's changed when
it comes to the outlay of the floor. So I'm like, yeah, sure,
we'll take you up. So Lincoln had a good time.
He was in the studio it's playing. So I had
(20:02):
a great time. And on the way down, we go
down to the lower lobby where the old store used
to be, and now it's all just chair new chairs
and tables and there's one single machine and but yeah,
it's only drinks. Yeah, there used to be challenges.
Speaker 1 (20:19):
That's gone.
Speaker 2 (20:19):
Tons of sandwiches and stuff, it's all gone. So now
this is one single machine. I'm like, I'm thirsty, and
I'm looking through the glass and I'm like, well, what's
in there? Like, oh, they got Celsius. I love Celsius.
Speaker 6 (20:28):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (20:28):
Yeah, Like I'll have one of those. So I go in.
I go to open up the freezer and it looks
like in a grocery store with the glass where you
can open it where you get the food in the
frozen food sections. So I'm like, all right, well we'll
all get one of those Celsius. And I go to
open it and it's locked and you first you have
to scan your card. Okay, so you have to scan
your card even before you can open I'm like, that's fine,
no problem, sir.
Speaker 1 (20:50):
Put the quarters in the vending machine before you get.
Speaker 2 (20:52):
The final fine, So I open it up, I take
my Celsius, I close it. The machine locks, the door locks,
and it starts to cycle through you know, the payment thing,
and it's like you've been charged. And I'm like, okay, okay,
all right, that was that was fine.
Speaker 1 (21:05):
So wait hold on, hold on, hold on. You forgot
the uh the AI component. It's very important.
Speaker 2 (21:11):
Yeah yeah yeah yeah so so so no here. So
here's the thing. So I'm checking my payment the next
day online. I'm looking through my baked statement like I do,
and I'm like, what is this ten dollars charge? What
is Haha Innovations ten dollars to ha Ha Innovations? Like
what is that? So I googled it's like, Haha Innovations
Is I saved it? Hold on it is, It's right here.
(21:32):
Uh Haha Innovations, Inc. Also known as Haha Vending, is
a company specializing in AI powered smart vending machines.
Speaker 1 (21:41):
Oh okay, this AAI. What was the AI component?
Speaker 2 (21:45):
I guess it knows what you take out of the
fridge and it stores.
Speaker 1 (21:50):
It shot everything. Everybody shut up.
Speaker 2 (21:54):
Anyway, you're paying ten dollars for a Celsius because you're
paying for the AI of this machine. I'm never using
the machine again.
Speaker 1 (22:02):
That's brutal. The name too, right, because you don't see
the name until you're like, where where did ten dollars
got this?
Speaker 2 (22:10):
They charged me more than four times what a Celsius
is worth, like typically a run two fifty three.
Speaker 1 (22:15):
Are you sure you didn't like create it because our
old one you could create an account that you'd have money.
It was kind of a pain.
Speaker 2 (22:19):
The other one. Yeah, you had to do like a
thumb print and you had to create an account and
it would show you how much this is nothing, and
you just scan it. It bleeps open, you know, bleeps open,
which it's it's kind of like it's bleeping at you,
like in a swear, like an expletive.
Speaker 1 (22:31):
Now that's how it optably is.
Speaker 3 (22:33):
It's like a.
Speaker 2 (22:34):
Blank you buddy, to take your Celsius. You take it,
you close it, it locks, it cycles through and it
simply says you've been charged. It doesn't say what I've
been charged. I'm like, okay, well.
Speaker 1 (22:45):
Now we know I never again. I think Celsius says
were like two for three or four dollars.
Speaker 2 (22:51):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (22:53):
The gas station up and ash match the radio station
because I remember I remember looking at it and they
had all the flavors and I realized there were that
many flavors.
Speaker 2 (23:00):
Now yeah, yeah, the sheets are like two for four
fifty or something. Oh so they.
Speaker 1 (23:04):
Charged me, Like yeah, they call them hot hotspots or
something up there in Nashville, whatever the chain is. So yeah, dude,
that thing's got to go.
Speaker 2 (23:13):
I mean, it's not gonna last. Who's gonna do that?
Who's gonna I mean once? Yes, it'll get get everybody once.
And if you have a brain in your head, you're
can look at your bank statement be like never again
ten dollars.
Speaker 1 (23:22):
I guess they're they're counting on no brains or you're
just not going to check on it. Dude. The amount
of people don't I'm the amount of people who don't
check bank statements, it's pretty crazy, man. I remember I
remember seeing somewhere like how often do you rew? Like
I I can't tell you the number of times I
hit the button on the I have US Bank, So
(23:43):
I hit the US Bank ap just for whatever reason,
like if I like if I just did a transaction
and it was a big one and I just want
to make sure that it's like showing up there like
I'm paranoid and hit the button. Let alone a ten
dollars celsius. Was it good though?
Speaker 2 (23:58):
I mean, was it tasty or I mean, yeah, no,
it is fine. It wasn't ten dollars worth.
Speaker 1 (24:04):
What's the kid who does the haha in the Simpsons?
Speaker 3 (24:10):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (24:10):
What's that kid's name?
Speaker 2 (24:12):
He's the bully?
Speaker 1 (24:13):
Right?
Speaker 2 (24:13):
Yeah, yeah, I can't remember.
Speaker 1 (24:15):
All right, that's the new name of the vending machine, Nelson.
It's Nelson, all right, So uh dude, that's that's like,
And you're sure you did everything right.
Speaker 2 (24:35):
There's nothing to do, dode, I trust you take your
drinking and clothes. There's nothing else to do.
Speaker 1 (24:41):
You know what it is? And the AI realized that
the other two members of your family were also thirsty,
and and you didn't buy them anything, so it using AI,
the power of AI just charged you for it, because
that should have been your experience to teach you a lesson.
Speaker 2 (24:58):
Never again, especially like it another one of these machines.
I'm like, no, maybe, like one day, if I'm like
trekking through the desert trying to get to Aguappo's compound
or something, and I started upon when I might consider
it otherwise the.
Speaker 1 (25:11):
Yeah, yeah, oh they don't have food in there, never mind. Yeah,
well at least you'll have Celsius while you're eating your sister.
So yeah, it's good. So much time? It cost you
ten dollars dude, that is brho? The what what is?
What scam is that I got to be careful because
we didn't name the company, but that sounds scammy. So
(25:33):
either one of two things is going on. Ross missed
a step, which I don't believe because I.
Speaker 2 (25:38):
Mean, maybe maybe it gave me a credit, but there's
no way unless it like memorize it, you know, Yeah, whenever.
Speaker 1 (25:45):
I you know, whenever you'd have you'd put the credit
in the old store. Now I understand why the old
store is gone because the management company who owned the
building that was their stores, that was their branded stores,
and they sold the building that we're in. So this
other company. But if they're going to stick ten dollars
Celsius vending machines in here, hell no.
Speaker 2 (26:04):
But even if you know we're going to make this
thing or b on the air, we'll have fun with it.
Maybe after I walked away, the receipt showed up on
the on the screen there. But even if it did
at that point if it had sent ten dollars or
be like, oh, there's there's no way to refund because
now the stupid thing is locked because you need your
card to unlock it. I can't put it back.
Speaker 1 (26:30):
I'm so glad I didn't touch that thing. I was
literally going to go down there after the open house,
even though we had all those fruit food and drinks
and all that, just because I was killing time. Because
that's when I went and looked at the new gym,
because we got to email that.
Speaker 2 (26:43):
You know, you know what it reminds me of. It
reminds me of the first time you're like a young
kid and you go to a hotel and get a minibar. Right,
he opened it up and you're like, look at all
this stuff, and then soon there right, don't touch any
of that.
Speaker 1 (26:53):
Yeah. And in some cases, dude, I tell you, I
was in a hotel and I moved stuff to put
my own stuff there, and they charged me for like
a bunch of rap. That's that's how I learned that
they are also some of them are weighted.
Speaker 2 (27:06):
Yeah, same thing, yep.
Speaker 1 (27:08):
Yeah. And then I got then I bought coke and
a glass harmonica, so somebody will get that reference. Bross,
please tell me you get that reference. I did not,
Mitch Hedberg Man, okay, oh okay, I thought you were
a fan anyway, Ross, a fan of ten dollars Celsius.
That's what we know. Yeah, that thing's bad, dude. We
(27:30):
should put a sign up letting people know we're gonna.
I'm gonna turn activist on this thing. I'd be so mad.
Speaker 3 (27:37):
Dude.
Speaker 1 (27:39):
I'm glad you're zen about it. I I don't know why,
but it's little things like that, Like I remember, I
remember I said that last time I flew with the
American Airlines, they literally gave my seat away, and I
was just zen through the whole thing. Like I can
deal with that one, because flipping out an airport is
how you end up on the news. But like, but
(28:00):
little stuff like that, little slights like that, I don't
know why, it just ah just irritates me.
Speaker 2 (28:05):
I think I've been thinking. I was thinking about this
sort of stuff driving into work today, and I think
because I am pretty sent about it, like I can
laugh at it be like that sucks. I'm not doing
that again. But I think like a lot of the thing,
like I don't know I think like five six years
ago before my sobriety probably would have been like really
pissed off and angry. I'm like, oh, I hate the
world right now. But I think that and like dealing
with my son, like I've learned patience and forgiveness like crazy,
(28:27):
and I'm all right, well I just won't do that again.
I'll just talk about it.
Speaker 1 (28:30):
Yeah, all right, Well we'll just make fun of it
until they change it. Because that is the one upside
that we have in this building. There's a bunch of
people listen within them.
Speaker 2 (28:40):
Well, I mean I'll use my experience to warn others,
so maybe you won't get here.
Speaker 1 (28:44):
Well that's what that's what I'm saying. We have a bunch,
you know, we have a bunch of people that work
at various companies within the building that listen, and we
did you know how much money we just save them? Yeah,
I mean you had to take it in the teeth,
but we helped out. So that's what we're here. I mean,
it's very helpful.
Speaker 2 (28:58):
Sometimes it's negative for you can be a positive for
somebody else. Like it's like a you know, it's a
learning experience, so I can pass that along.
Speaker 1 (29:06):
Absolutely, that mm hmm. All right, Oh, I promise i'd
play the levit audio, So let me go ahead and
do this in its entirety. Again, this is this is
the question we were all anticipating yesterday. How can you
say that the Epstein client list, which again is not
just a it's not a spreadsheet. Nobody expects it to be,
(29:29):
but it should be a spreadsheet, I should say this.
It's not a spreadsheet that he put together. Probably he's
probably smarter than that, but rather it is a culmination
of all the data that you have to identify people
who interact with him in ways that may or may
you know, may or likely are criminal, and then you
(29:52):
investigate from there. And I refuse to believe there's zero
paper trail when the guy's got a gazillion cameras and
we live in the digital modern age, So how do
you now claim that there's not? And then how do
you show a video? Although I saw some people are
taking the video apart because the door they see and
the door from the footage where they put the tape
(30:15):
across it or not the same. And I saw everyone
spread this on the internet, and I saw it and
I initially was like, that is interesting. So I looked,
and within thirty seconds I was able to determine the
door that's in your line of sight is not the door.
It's under the camera there, kind of off to the side,
So it's a it is a hallway shop, but not
(30:36):
one directly on the door. So if you see that understanding,
that doesn't mean it's not the same door because you
can't see the damn door anyway. So Levitt is asked
about it by mister Doocy from Fox News yesterday, and
I'll just play the entirety of the exchange. Here we go.
Speaker 4 (30:50):
Yep, Yeah, I looked at the circumstances rounding the death
of Jeffrey Epstein. According to the report, this systematic review
revealed no in criminal list. So what happened to the
Epstein client list that the Attorney General said she had
on her desk?
Speaker 5 (31:08):
Well, I think if you go back and look at
what the Attorney General said in that interview which was
on your network on Fox, such a quote.
Speaker 4 (31:14):
Gohan Roberts said, doj maybe releasing the list of Jeffrey
Epstein's clients? Will that really happen? And she said it's
sitting on my desk right now to review.
Speaker 5 (31:23):
Yes, she was saying, the entirety of all of the paperwork,
all of the paper in relation to Jeffrey Epstein's crimes.
That's what the Attorney General was referring to. And I'll
let her speak for that. But again, when it comes
to the FBI and the Department of Justice, they are
more than committed to ensuring that bad people are put
behind bars. They have an operation going on right now
called Summer Heats, which has our murder rate trending in
(31:47):
the lowest direction in United States history. Their emphasis on
violent crime and locking up violent criminals has led to
the arrest of fourteen thousand violent criminals. That's a sixty
two percent increase from the same time period last year.
So this Attorney General and the FBI director are committed
to putting bad people behind bars where they belong. That
they promised an exhaustive review.
Speaker 1 (32:08):
That's what they did.
Speaker 5 (32:09):
For any further details, I would refer you to the
Department of Justice.
Speaker 1 (32:15):
Yesterday on this show, on this show, now I may
have had the topic wrong, but I was damn right.
I said, this is the psychic show, I said, and
we play acted this damn thing. I said. Somebody will
ask somebody about the thing and then they'll pivot, probably
to the dead Little Girls in Texas. I was wrong.
(32:36):
They went with the fourteen thousand you know, criminal masterminds.
By the way, Ross probably whoever's vending machine that is
should go on that list, right, So so I was right,
we were right. That's why you come here.
Speaker 2 (32:53):
And just to clarify, we're playing the Girls Gone Wild
theme music from the nineties and early two thousands because
we don't have Miss Cleo music. So it's the closest
I know there was.
Speaker 1 (33:02):
I'm not sure, but it works because it's got the
Caribbean news right right, right, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, thank you.
There's not there's not drunk nineteen year olds flashing us
in the studio right now, although that would be a
good Friday if maybe one of the gentlemen's clubs wants
to do an endorsement.
Speaker 2 (33:24):
There are though there's two of them, and there's double
they're double fisting Celsius Is now they're financially ruined.
Speaker 1 (33:29):
Oh well, they clearly don't make good decisions anyway, So
it's just another in a long line of bad decisions
that one day when they're thirty and they're on the internet, forever, which,
by the way, that's that is kind of interesting to
think about, considering how long that thing ran, that girls
gone wild. The number of women now probably have three
(33:51):
kids in a professional career who are on the internet
covered in beads and nothing else. This is where we are. Anyway,
that's a happy thought. Let's go ahead and take a break.
We'll be right back. Really see what's going on with that.
We'll start. That's for pollen season, that's not for now.
(34:12):
Don't do that, we should do it. Dave Ramsey segment ross,
do you need to be spending ten dollars per celsius
each morning?
Speaker 2 (34:21):
I don't think I do.
Speaker 1 (34:22):
Okay, all right, good, good, good good, all right, put
some money away.
Speaker 2 (34:26):
I remember how I check did, and that fee has
been now changed to four dollars four.
Speaker 1 (34:30):
Five, okay, all right? So and this is all right.
So this was the theory. Couple people sent that it
was an authorization, which doesn't that doesn't make sense to
me to do a ten dollars authorization on a vending machine, correct,
Because here's the thing, uh, and I've been there, you've
probably been there. Where the difference between four to twenty
(34:51):
five in your account and ten dollars is a real thing,
right when you're young, or it's.
Speaker 2 (34:56):
Not like I really can tragging it at the moment.
But I'm just saying, like, if it was, I don't
want to spend ten on a Celsius because it's dumb.
Speaker 1 (35:03):
Right, four twenty five is still a pretty good get,
Like you're not losing money on that thing. But people
thought it might have been an authorization, which is crazy
because I've never seen of any machine doing all.
Speaker 2 (35:14):
That's crazy. Like if I check into a hotel or something,
I get that, you know what I mean. They're like,
if I'm like a rental car, sure, yeah, drink.
Speaker 1 (35:23):
I'll argue with them on the authorization.
Speaker 2 (35:25):
At a hotel too, they're paying for the AI men,
it's expensive.
Speaker 1 (35:29):
If they're gonna be always ask I'm all right, what
are you authorizing for? And if it's anything, it depends
how long I'm staying. But if it's like when I
go over to Greensboro, they probably hate me over there,
but because I asked, But there's like fifty dollars, all right, whatever,
I'll probably spend that in the little restaurant thing there
if I'm there for a few nights. But like I remember.
(35:50):
I remember I was going to check into a hotel
one time, and I'm like, what do you guys authorized?
Because here's the deal, And I know this sounds crazy.
I haven't really talked about this. I try. I have
a credit card. I don't. I don't think I've used
it except I use it like once per month. I
don't like credit cards. I don't like I don't like
credit I like paying for stuff. Now, there's some things
(36:14):
where it's unavoidable, obviously, and I'm not here to be
Dave Ramsey on all this stuff, but I just don't
like using credit cards. I have one because if I
have to rent a car, it's yeah, it's it's a nightmare.
Otherwise there's there's a couple other instances, but I really
don't use it. Don't use it, and it's got and
(36:35):
it's it literally, I don't. I don't think I owe
anything on it right now. I think I just it
auto drafted, like the eighteen dollars whatever I owed. And
then I use it for airport club access. So I
do pay an annual fee on it, but whatever worth
it to me for them for those for those handful
of things. So and I'm checking into a hotel. I
always ask because chances are I'm just gonna throw my
(36:56):
debit card down, which people will tell you stupid, but
I don't want to deal with it. And that, to
Ross's point, that's where you expect to get pre authorized
for something. I would have never expecting to pre authorize
for a stupid drinking of any machine. But I am
glad that it changed to that. So because ten dollars
thing was that was crazy. But you know the problem
(37:19):
is is you're getting taxed for criminals. That's what's happening there, man,
I mean think about it. Oh no, completely, yeah, well,
because it's it's it's it's still a kind of an
honor system. Once you get that door open, so can
you put money in it?
Speaker 2 (37:35):
I know again, it scans your card, then it unlocks.
Speaker 1 (37:40):
That's it. It's card only, no cash. That's the other thing.
Many machines that are no cave. I love spending cash
for stuff. I'm weird. I guess all right, let me
grab a call here real quick, Chris. What's going on?
Speaker 3 (37:51):
Hey, Casey, Hey, I mean that steam thing man. Pam
Bondy said that she wanted to get through everything because
they wanted to protect all them, all the victims, and
that they were a substantial amount. Why don't they think
I just build their own list by talking to the victims.
Speaker 1 (38:09):
Well we uh, you know, ironically, and the one girl
just died. But like we we do have a list
if you go by what the victims have said in interviews.
The former New Mexico governor, who's the attorneys always on
Fox that dude, Prince Prince said, Prince Albert, Prince Andrew, right, like,
(38:31):
so we have we have a bit of a list
if you go by what they said. But you know,
you can't adjudicate like that, You just can't.
Speaker 3 (38:41):
So I don't know, it just seems weird that just
the timing of everything, and then you know, and it's
like they were tricking us along all the way until
the one person that was so vocal about it passes
away and then all of a sudden, all of the
cases closed.
Speaker 1 (38:58):
Yeah, man, there's there's there's no good here. And uh
And I got to tell you, it has really sapped
any confidence that I have, not all of it, but
it is a huge strike against me trusting what's coming
out of the AG's office, let alone kind of the
White House. So because again people think that this is uh,
(39:18):
you know, this is some loyalist thing. Look, there were
hosts yesterday on the on the right wing host who
didn't cover the Epstein thing, and I'm gonna I'm here
to tell you if if you, if you have a
host who decided to ignore that story, then that you
you probably can't count on that person to give you
(39:39):
the totality of what's going on. They made a business
decision and one that probably got them access or something
along those lines. It's crazy to me. You should be
mad as hell, and all you weirdos on Twitter mad
at me for being mad about it. Uh, pound sand
don't care. So anyway, I'm glad. I'm glad you're frustrating
trying to think of solutions, Chris, because I've been racking
(40:01):
my brain on this and sadly, man, I just I
think this thing's done. I think it's done. And that's
that is absolute tragedy, absolute tragedy. All right.
Speaker 2 (40:12):
Just to clarify, though, So what Levitt was saying yesterday
is like BONDI got the file from whoever she got
the file from, right, and then she's like, ah, we
got the file. We're gonna go through and we're gonna,
you know, we're gonna release the list. We're gonna look
at the list and the file.
Speaker 1 (40:25):
Keep in mind all these statements that you're you're you're saying,
which are accurate. We're statements that were made post Binder party.
Speaker 2 (40:32):
I'm right, right, So they give it.
Speaker 1 (40:33):
The Southern District of New York has been withholding this,
blah blah blah. Now we got it. It's on my desk.
This is She said that in an interview after the
Southern District of New York reportedly quote turned over the files.
Speaker 2 (40:45):
Right, so the files on her desk for a while.
Then what they're saying is she sat down at the
desk one day and I'm go do the work now.
And she opened it up and she went, but did
there ain't no files in here? You these are buy one,
get one for Carabas or whatever it is.
Speaker 1 (40:57):
You're like, what is this? This isn't what we're like,
Oh now we got agger in her face. Why did
you just throw Carabas into a child sex right, Well,
apparently there's no evidence of a child sex ring. There's
nothing in the file. Right, Well, I don't know. Giz
Lane's in jail. So I feel like this was all
meant to attack Carabas once again.
Speaker 2 (41:15):
So are they saying that Gizlane Maxwell she was guilty
of what she did, and she trafficked children just to
Jeffrey Epstein, but then he d and herself and herself,
But there was no one else after that in the
chain of custody corect so it just ended with Jeffrey
and then he killed himself. So case dismissed, well, not hers,
(41:37):
but yeah, the other ones. And there wasn't a video
for years until they realized she opened the folder and
then she said, oh there's this isn't a list. I
thought it was a list. Now I look stupid. There's
a little flash driving there. Yeah, yeah, and then they
found a video.
Speaker 1 (41:50):
Mm yeah, okay, why is that so hard for you
to believe? Oh dude, you pay ten dollars for a Celsius.
I don't trust anything you said. That's still not that
much better. Seven fourteen. Hang on, Susan, good morning, what's
going on?
Speaker 7 (42:08):
Heay, casey fellow wyoming night.
Speaker 1 (42:10):
Here and uh hold on, I got to ask where.
Speaker 7 (42:15):
On the other side of the mountain. Of course, the
Great Count of Grable.
Speaker 8 (42:19):
Which is better than Sheridan.
Speaker 1 (42:21):
Yeah, better than Thermopolis too, so I'll give you that.
Speaker 7 (42:24):
Oh god, yo, yeah, it's it's a whelming thing. I
pay cash whenever I can too, So yeah.
Speaker 1 (42:31):
There was a lot of places that didn't take credit too.
If you go, uh like if you go to Story,
you go to Big Horn, the main store there didn't
even take credit cards for when I was a kid.
Speaker 7 (42:41):
So oh yeah, that's true, true too.
Speaker 1 (42:45):
I don't know. I want to see you guys want
to see a Wyoming trick.
Speaker 3 (42:47):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (42:48):
And Susan knows what's up? Susan, I hope you know
what's up. No, you will one hundred percent. Susan is
a number nine.
Speaker 7 (42:57):
Yes, yes, and Sheridan a number three.
Speaker 8 (43:01):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (43:01):
Correct. I'm from Buffalo, so I'm a number sixteen. So
if you ever got if you ever see a Wyoman
license plate, if you ever see a Wyoman license plate,
well I'm from between Buffalo and Sheriffan, Tecla. We're in
Johnson County. If you see a woman license plate, there'll
be a number and it'll be from one to twenty three,
and that tells you which county that plate's from. And
(43:21):
so you always know roughly where somebody's from and I
don't know if there's other seats to do it that way,
but Wyoming does.
Speaker 7 (43:28):
So oh yeah, I mean the people people in Big
One County, you know, we don't like the people on
the other side of that mountain.
Speaker 9 (43:35):
You know.
Speaker 1 (43:36):
Well, I know we have.
Speaker 7 (43:39):
Shell Falls. What do you have? Yeah, I mean shell Falls?
You know we have that.
Speaker 1 (43:44):
So well they have Red Gray Road and yeah, so anyway, right,
so bond in our mutual hatred. But on the paying
cash thing, it gets harder to do. I was, do
you know the jet the Jet Blue terminal at JFK Airport,
there's not nobody takes cash in there, the whole terminal.
(44:05):
Nobody takes cash.
Speaker 10 (44:08):
I know.
Speaker 7 (44:08):
I mean trying to fly from from here to Wyoming,
and you obviously know it costs. I'm in a leg
and you know, you've got a couple of hours laid
over in Denver or something, you know, so and you're like, hey,
can I get this, you know?
Speaker 1 (44:24):
But anyway, yeah, go ahead, real quick.
Speaker 7 (44:28):
Yeah, I just I just I just wanted to say,
I gotta get going, but I just wanted to say
I found you on the radio, and when I heard
you from the other side, of the Mountain. I was like, yes,
it's another Wyoming night.
Speaker 1 (44:39):
Yeah, where do you live in North Carolina? Are you on?
Are you streaming from Wyoming?
Speaker 7 (44:43):
No, I'm I'm I'm in Greensboro right now. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (44:46):
Okay, all right, well there you go. There's two of us.
There's three rights because there's another caller that's from Wyoming sometimes.
So okay, okay, yeah you too. Yeah, look at that.
You just heard from half the state of Wyoming on
one phone calls. All right, it's like a half mill
it was. Actually it's getting up by six hundred thousand
(45:07):
because all of it probably Californians. Ugh, I'm picking, but
not really. All right, check this out. A woman in
her fifties is believed to have lost her arm when
a lion maldered at an Australian zoo. Now I know
what you're thinking of this lunatic jump in. No, No,
apparently she goes to the zoo so much they let
her like go into the lion enclosure with them. I'm sorry,
(45:32):
is that a thing? And I want to point out
this isn't like India or China, where it's some you know,
there's some insane element too. It's Australia. I'm gonna assume
the safety protocols are pretty similar. Yeah, the incident unfolded
around eight twenty am yesterday morning. I'm assuming that's awesie time.
(45:54):
When a woman, a quote longtime visitor, watched zoo keepers
carry for the lions. And again, by this part of
the story, I'm still like, well, how'd she get eaten?
Don't they have Like, what do you mean she watched them?
So apparently she has. She has quote a much love
member of our families, is the statement from the zoo,
(46:17):
and was up close watching zookeepers work in the carnivore precinct.
So apparently if you go to the zoo enough and
you know somebody, they'll let you come down in there
when they're working on the big cats, which they did,
although I suspect they won't do that anymore. They said.
She was also well versed in safety protocols around dangerous animals,
(46:42):
but inexplicably, I don't think you can use the term
inexplicably when you're dealing with a large carnivorre man. One
animal grabbed her by an arm and she caused severe damage. Yeah,
so that's insane. I didn't realize that they'll let random
zoo get never ran it's Australia. Come into the middle
(47:02):
of the tiger or the lion enclosure. Oh you've been
coming for twenty Yeah, come on in, man, that's fine.
Absolutely here. You would have pet the big kiddy. I
mean maybe if they had the thing like you know,
tranked on like you know where they're doing some sort
of medical procedure. But yeah, I can't believe they have
(47:25):
to write this. Uh, the animal will not be euthanized. Good,
why would it be for being a lion? That's what
That's what people are paying to see. I'm just impressed
you have one. It's not like the zoo that tricks
Rossen to thinking that there's polar bears here, can never
(47:46):
find them.
Speaker 2 (47:47):
No, it's on the next floor, man, that's.
Speaker 1 (47:49):
Why they That's why it has three floors. By the way,
that's way too many floors for a polar bear. Do
you know any polar bears in the wild that have
a three floor condo? No, you don't, not a one.
They're out there outside. It's cold, there's seals around or something.
Speaker 11 (48:04):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (48:05):
Occasionally, some dumb caribou hunter or an Eskimo of some sort.
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (48:09):
That's why they would give you the three floors. So
you're in the first floor and you're like, hey, I
brought my kid to see the polar Bear. Where is
the Like, oh, buddy, you just missed. It's on the
second floor. And you go down the second floor and
you're like, I paid money, they see the polar Bear.
Speaker 1 (48:20):
Where's it?
Speaker 2 (48:20):
Like, oh, you was just here, but he went down
to the third floor. Then you go down there and
your kids like, oh my god, I can't wait to
see the polar Bear.
Speaker 1 (48:26):
You know.
Speaker 2 (48:27):
Now we're in the third floor. Ah, you just missed
them back to the second floor, and that just it
goes and repeat forever because there's really no polar Bear.
Speaker 1 (48:33):
It's a great scam. It's like charging four to twenty
five for Celsius, but ten dollars first. So so I
probably sued by their company. Oh wait, hold on, some
Wyomi haters here, so explain to me. If Cheyenne's plate
number two, how is sheharton plate number three. It makes
no sense because the plates, which I believe emanated from
(48:53):
the nineteen sixties, were based on county population. So Cheyenne
had the second most should be Laramie County. Don't ask
me why because Laramie's next door and then Sheridan had
the third most? Are we tracking? And that means Casper
(49:13):
had the first most? So that's what that means. Yeah,
but agreeably, it doesn't track because like Johnson County being
sixteen isn't the case anymore because Buffalo's bigger. So a
rapper who I'm sure you're all a big fan of
what's his nickname or what's his name?
Speaker 2 (49:30):
Four extra.
Speaker 1 (49:34):
The number four and then X the letter X, and
then tra So just in case you're wondering how we're
demolishing the English language on this one. So four extra
is down two fingers after he apparently blew part of
his hand off jacking around with fireworks over the fourth. Well, one,
(49:56):
you should change your name to two extra. That would
be my recommendation to really hone in on this. Actually
we can come up with a better name than that. Ross.
I think he needs a new rap name. What was
your rap name? Again? It's something ATM or something.
Speaker 2 (50:11):
It was a stolen ATM machine falling on your head.
Speaker 1 (50:14):
Ah, that is your head. No, it was face right,
It was a fall on you. No, I thought it
was your head. Oh, I mean we're going back like
ten years, so yeah, it's man, the music never dies.
So yeah, so we got to get this guy a
better name, man, because now you've got a thing, right,
(50:36):
you gotta you gotta hook. You got a thing about you,
right the eminem's you're like, you know, the thing is
he's a white dude, right, and then obviously that worked
out at ice Cube right straight out of Compton. That
was his thing. Now going into the break, ye West
loves Hitler. Anyway, what going into the break, the audio
wasn't on the button Barber. During the commercial break, I
(50:57):
put on some of his video that he made oh
before the incident. Now I did have to cut it
out because it was twenty three seconds long and every
other word was the N words. So what I put
up was the final three second I'm not kidding. What
I put up was the final four seconds. This is no, no, no,
he's not. This is why I didn't send it to
you or didn't ask you. So I didn't specifically pull
the clip because it's it's it's four seconds that he
(51:20):
was able to extract from this. The clip is four seconds.
Let's hear how two of four extra whatever, let's let's
hear how this is going. Or brew somebody up today
with the beat? Yeah, no, that that is real. He
actually said he's blowing somebody up today, and he delivered.
He did right, a man of his word. That's what's important.
(51:43):
If you say you're gonna do something, you better go
and do it.
Speaker 2 (51:46):
Boss up or brew somebody up today with the beat.
Speaker 1 (51:50):
It was me.
Speaker 2 (51:51):
It was me the one that blew up.
Speaker 7 (51:54):
Herd.
Speaker 1 (51:56):
Hey man. A lot of times these guys lay it out.
They're like, oh, I'm a cut, I'm gonna I'm gonna
roll up on you or whatever. The I'm so white,
I'm gonna roll up and then there's no rolling up. Right.
So this guy's like, we're gonna blow somebody up, and
he did. So.
Speaker 2 (52:12):
I think the kids today are saying that regulators mount up.
I think that's what they say.
Speaker 1 (52:17):
That's the kid is say in fact, yes, yes, yes, yes, so.
Speaker 3 (52:24):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (52:24):
We got this dude for for being honest, bro and
like delivering on what you said. We're gonna help find
you a new rap name. Okay, I will do this
for you. There's so many good I just thought of one,
but it's so offensive, I can't say it on the air.
So figure out how to whittle that down. So anyhow,
(52:48):
we'll we'll figure it out. So uh, a little side
project for us here on the show. All right, let
me get over to this, because what the former transportation ministers.
So this dude's not a nobody, right, so you know,
think of the dot secretary. That's who we're talking about here.
(53:11):
But for Russia. Former Russian Transport minister Roman Starovoid was
fired yesterday by Vladimir Putin and then immediately committed suicide.
I guess so now he did not fall out of
a window. I just want to be abundantly clear. According
to Russian media, he shot himself at his home in
(53:36):
Moscow right after being dismissed by Putin. Apparently he was
in his car in the driveway or something, you know,
because that's where you shoot yourself. Apparently. Let's see here
Putin's decree announcing his termination, which I guess he meant
(54:00):
had in all sense of the word I was published
and gave no reason for the dismissal, who for the
man who had only been serving for a year, though
some some suspected there might be a little uh shenanigans
going on financially with some projects near the Ukraine border, which,
(54:20):
by the way, would be a great place to skim
money because then he just keep blowing it up, right,
It's like, ah, no, we need more money. So AnyWho, Yep,
totally totally shot himself in his driveway. Absolutely one. Do
you think Putin's wise to the window thing now? And
so he's like, now we gotta mix it up. Boys.
Speaker 2 (54:40):
No, that's why this story confused me. I was like,
did he fall out of a window onto his tunder bullet?
Speaker 1 (54:45):
Right right? Yeah, Now that's a that's a good question.
I don't know, man, But no, he did not, So
just sitting in his driveway just totally shot himself right
there after Putin thought he was stealing from them. I'll
let you figure out what may have happened all on
(55:05):
your own, all right, let me let me get into this.
We've talked about this on the show over the last
few years. If you don't watch baseball, there's been a
big debate and there have been changes to the ball, right,
and like for a while, what was it two years
ago when they had the basically the home run ball?
(55:28):
Two years ago? I think three years maybe they had
a ball in there for a minute where people were
just crushing it and the pitchers were like, this is
this is wrong and then they ended up backing off
that and then this year it's that stupid bat thing.
So whatever. But apparently it was not the redesign of
(55:52):
the ball, which was then methodically tested by various journalistic
outlets who then pointed out that it has a little
more spring, it's got a little more carry, right, and
they know this stuff when when they're doing it that
that is not the case. The actual reason apparently for
the increased home runs in the Major League climate change.
(56:18):
To repeat, the climate change is causing increased home runs
in Major League Baseball games? Is there anything it can't do?
But can we not weaponize this for good? Apparently major
League Baseball players are. Climate Central published a report saying
(56:42):
twenty six of the twenty seven MLB cities have experienced
increased temperatures during baseball season, and as a result, they
also notice that there's during baseball season there's increased home runs,
which I'm going, well, what do you mean increased home
run versus not baseball season? But they mean year over year.
In twenty in the twenty tens, MLB experienced a forty
(57:03):
six percent increase in home runs, higher than the forty
four percent spike from the steroid era of the nineteen nineties. Yeah, yeah,
do you know do you know why that is? Going
back to this, Well, one, you have two very outsized
years from that ball, those balls, right, But also people
(57:23):
put a premium on hitting and not doing the transactional baseball,
like the small ball as they call it. That's just
how teams play. Ross is a Yankees fan, and they
might be the worst abuser of the Everybody swinging for
the fences all the time? Is that fair? I think
you guys, probably the Yankees for a good period of
(57:45):
that everyone was just like, all right, go hit a
home run. Nobody was looking to bunt, nobody.
Speaker 2 (57:50):
I mean, I mean, to be fair, There's a reason
they call it the short portrait.
Speaker 1 (57:53):
Right, yes, and and and so, But I don't think so.
Do you think the only reason that that giant I'm
thinking which giant on the Do you think the only
reason the Yanks are hitting home runs is because climate change?
Or do you think it's because they employ seven foot
tall goliaths? Swing a small stick?
Speaker 2 (58:15):
Right? Because you have like eighteen foot tall Aaron Judge
with a bat right where they had to like adjust
the strike zone because the pictures didn't know how to
pitch to them. Right BLUs.
Speaker 1 (58:26):
Now they got this this bat, this weird bat thing
they like. So yeah, I I just are you guys
out of stuff? What is climate change?
Speaker 3 (58:37):
Wait?
Speaker 1 (58:38):
You say, is climate change? Why my gin my golf
handicap went up. I thought it was me not playing
enough or hitting enough balls on the range and just
jumping right in the cart with a sixer. I thought
that was the thing. This is great. I didn't realize
it was climate change that caused me to shank it
to the left, which is never a thing that I've done,
but this year is now a thing. I was going
(59:01):
to lose a drive. It was always to the right.
Now goes to the left and it goes further out
of bounds. I don't know what I'm doing climate change?
Thank god? I thought I was just lining up or
getting fatter. Seven forty five. Let's get ray stage it
from the weather channel. No, see, I can't figure it out.
(59:22):
I've always I'm not a good golfer, but I always
lose the balls to the right. Now I'm losing my
left off.
Speaker 11 (59:27):
That's what happens the physical videos.
Speaker 1 (59:31):
They've explained it to me, and I I think I
understand it, but I can't stop myself.
Speaker 11 (59:37):
So it goes move to a cooler climate maybe climates, right.
Speaker 1 (59:40):
So that's that's to the right right, get us everywhere?
Nothing we could do, all right? So I dude, I've
actually thought you weren't going to be here yesterday because
I just assume with all the incidity, well that was
it's just gonna be you on that tiny desk at
three in the morning helping people on TV.
Speaker 11 (59:59):
What's no, I don't know. Yeah, I ended up good
bed or indifferent, missing a lot of the action, being
off Friday and Monday and just trying to keep up
with it all. And you know, what happened with Chantal
kind of took a second fiddle to what happened in Texas.
And now we're still starting to see some high rivers,
creeks and streams they are coming down. There's still some
(01:00:20):
minor flooding in parts of eastern North Carolina, but everything
trying to get back to normal. The problem is there's
more rain and thunderstorms of the forecast every day for
the rest of the week, with today being the lowest chance,
so we'll have the highest temperatures mid nineties, and for
most of the triangle and just west we do have
a heat advisory. The heat index could be close to
(01:00:41):
one oh five, so maybe one of the hotter days
when you factor in that humidity that we've had, unless
you get one or two of these showers thunderstorms that
may develop this afternoon through this evening, so instead of
like ninety five, you might get to like ninety two,
it will only feel closer to one hundred. And then
the rain chances going up. Tomorrow we're close to ninety
heated next still close to one hundred, but the rain
(01:01:03):
chants a lot better tomorrow, scattered showers thunderstorms even into
Thursday and Friday. By Thursday Friday, there is a chance,
a slate chance we'll get back to a flood risk,
especially in some of the area's hardest hit by Chantal
around Chapel Hill. You know, saw a lot of video
coming out of there over the weekend, and areas that
had flash flooding from the heavy rain could see some
(01:01:24):
more flooding. I don't think to that extent, but with
the ground saturated, the rivers and the crease and streams
already running high. If they don't subside back to normal,
we may see that flood risk increase just a bit.
Speaker 1 (01:01:35):
Okay, I can't believe we let a strip or do
this to us. So well, it's the way it goes. Yeah,
we're quickly to the sea storm. So you know, things
that start off pretty quiet the tropics. Now we're already
past the sea storm and right now the rest of
the tropical Atlantic quiet. We're starting to get toward those
busier months late July, August, September, October, so keep an
(01:01:56):
eye on all that too. Bersday call it the Weather
Channel super Bowl. So right right, yeah, all right, thank
you sir, appreciate it. There you go, seven forty seven
here on the KCO Day radio program. Uh coming up,
let's see here all we gotta get. Yeah, we're gonna
touch on the the Nerd. We'll give you like a
pre nerd news and I want to share it with you.
(01:02:16):
And then on Thursday we'll dig into Stephen on these
stories because there's a couple doozies man and an update
on one of these online lunatics who just had had
seize upon what happened in Texas so that she can
make a political point. And it's not going well. So
we'll find out about that coming up next CaCO Day
(01:02:39):
radio program. What is going on with people?
Speaker 3 (01:02:45):
Man?
Speaker 1 (01:02:47):
So it Keem Jefferies posted a photo essay I'm gonna
send Ross a link to this. Just saw this stupidity.
Uh why do I have to type nine letters to
get the Ross's thing? Why I would h because literally
I only email very few people. Jeffries, there, you go
(01:03:11):
so much on the air, we should do off the air.
Speaker 3 (01:03:14):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (01:03:14):
So he posted a photo of him in front of
a park patch up in New York somewhere as Baby
Central Park. I don't know, and it's people are people
are claiming that he photoshopped himself into the bench. I
don't think that's the case. I think he's standing in
front of it. I think and this is the most
(01:03:36):
like tween girl thing ever. I think he he made
himself thinner. Ross, I eyeball this thing when you get
in your inbox. I think that that's because whenever I've
seen pictures where women have altered it and they're getting
like some celebrities altered it and they've tried to thin themselves.
(01:03:58):
It has that It makes like whenever they're standing in
front of kind of plunged backwards because you've essentially you've
you've stretched it, you know what I'm saying. So it
looks so keem Jefferies. Did he like did he do
the the Instagram girl filter thing?
Speaker 2 (01:04:16):
There's like an Instagram filter or he's just tucking it in.
Speaker 1 (01:04:21):
Yeah, they don't have wavy benches like that.
Speaker 2 (01:04:25):
I don't even know. It's the bench. Yeah, yeah, that's
what I'm saying. That's the Yeah, look at the shadow
to the shadow on the bench is even correct, it's weird.
Speaker 1 (01:04:32):
Yeah, so clearly he clearly, but it's a filter or
you just you just stretch, you know, pulled him in.
That's clearly what he did. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:04:42):
No, if it wasn't for the bendy bench, I would
have assumed he was just like sucking it in for
the pitch.
Speaker 1 (01:04:47):
Yeah you know, no, no, no, no, he he thinned himself.
What do you what do you observed? What do you
what do you a high school girl?
Speaker 2 (01:04:54):
What are you doing?
Speaker 1 (01:04:58):
You're the senate minority leader or choose me the house
minority leader.
Speaker 11 (01:05:01):
Bro?
Speaker 1 (01:05:02):
What's going on? And you still gotta. I hate photos
more than anyone can fathom. I don't think I've ever
used a filter. I think the only time i've ever
there's ever been a photo where I'm in it, where
I've ever used any any feature, let alone downloadable filters.
But just the features that are native on the iPhone
(01:05:22):
is if like it's dark and I want to brighten
the photo, you know what I'm saying, so you can
see what's going on, or maybe a red eye thing.
Speaker 2 (01:05:30):
Yeah, no, I've done that. It's like the uh it's
the sort of like the color like it makes it brighter,
like it makes it pop right, Yeah, yeah, Ran it's
called vibrant or whatever on your iPhone. It's like the
first one.
Speaker 1 (01:05:40):
Yeah yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:05:41):
I've never used like a filter that like changes your
appearance like an You.
Speaker 1 (01:05:46):
Tell me you've never used a filter to make yourself
look like a OnlyFans girl with down syndrome. So you
can make two hundred thousand have not.
Speaker 2 (01:05:54):
Oh wow, Okay, I wouldn't even know how to like
is that like a snapchat thing? Like I don't even
I know, I don't know how many I work. I
don't even know how to get like a filter to change.
Speaker 1 (01:06:04):
My parents would think if I used Instagram, I would
have run across them, but I don't.
Speaker 2 (01:06:08):
So it's like don't so it's like a pre built
in thing for Instagram.
Speaker 1 (01:06:12):
I think that they have their own, but I think
you can doubt you can add them on. I don't
know if it's like Giffy maybe and uh I at
least contenders for the dumbest people in North Carolina. It's
tough though, because you know, the legislature exists. So Uh. Anyway,
I was just why I'm not going to torture you
(01:06:34):
with this video. I'm just super annoyed because it's all
on this gen Z stuff and I don't believe these
chicks for a moment. You have these three sisters, they
they're down and they're down to Beaufort actually at Moon Rakers,
which is very nice, uh, very nice. Uh waterfront place
to eat there, I guess, and uh I have not
(01:06:54):
eaten there myself, but just looking at what is the
focus of this story, uh, it looks like the menus
probably something I would enjoy. Although let me tell you,
and I'm not saying this just because I did that
event down there. The restaurant, especially for like brunch and
breakfast at the Beaufort Hotel there. Amazing. Just throw it
(01:07:21):
right out there for you. It was super good. Like
I was getting free food as part of the thing,
and I still went ate over at the restaurant because
I had I had breakfast one day. I mean, this
is amazing. I got to try dinner. It was pretty good.
So anyway back to this, So they're over there and
they said, there's three of them. They're all gen Z
and I and I guess they get a little kid
(01:07:42):
with them too. So they sit down, they order, and
then the bill comes and it's one hundred and sixty dollars.
So here's what they ordered for one hundred and sixty dollars.
Trust me, this will all make sense in a moment.
So they ordered according to the receipt. Here they ordered
two New York twelve ounce strip steaks, a baby kale
(01:08:06):
caesar salad with grilled chicken, and then a kid's grilled
cheese and a sprite so kid one of the sisters
ate the salad, and then the other two both had
twelve ounce New York strip steaks. Total price one hundred
and thirty bucks. Frost. Does that sound unreasonable for two
good steaks, protein filled salad, and a kid's meal.
Speaker 2 (01:08:28):
How much was it?
Speaker 1 (01:08:29):
One hundred and thirty bucks.
Speaker 2 (01:08:30):
That's pretty good.
Speaker 1 (01:08:31):
Yeah, I mean ten years ago jaw dropping, but that's
not bad. So they decided that they were upset because
they feel as though they the menu did not it
was mislabeled. So they decided, well, you know what should
do now? You make a video whining about it. And
in the video they claim that they expected the bill
(01:08:54):
to be thirty dollars because on the menu it had
indicated that the steaks were marked down, which didn't make
any sense to me until I looked at the menu
and after the stake as well as the lobster and
the oysters, it says MKT ross. Do you know what
(01:09:15):
MKT stands for on a menu?
Speaker 2 (01:09:17):
I honestly do not.
Speaker 1 (01:09:18):
Oh. It means market price.
Speaker 2 (01:09:20):
And even if I read that, I wouldn't know what
that meant.
Speaker 1 (01:09:22):
Okay, but you'd ask, right, I would, Yes, you wouldn't
just assume it means marked down right now? Yes, it
means market price A lot of times when it comes
to especially seafood you see, especially lobster, it just means,
you know, whatever the market price you should always ask,
I will tell you.
Speaker 2 (01:09:38):
So if I saw it and they were like, sir,
that means the market price, I would then be like, well,
what what's the market price?
Speaker 1 (01:09:43):
And they would tell you. They'll tell you. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
I've asked before.
Speaker 2 (01:09:47):
I had.
Speaker 1 (01:09:47):
I had a Tomahawk t bone here not long ago,
and it was a special and it was listed a
market price, and I just asked and it was like,
only ten dollars more than the other one, and it
was two ounces.
Speaker 2 (01:10:00):
Give me that that price you gave me too, Like, obviously,
if I'm making that meal for myself at home, it
should be much lower. But if we were going out
to like a nice steak restaurant, right.
Speaker 1 (01:10:09):
Yeah, it's like a nice place where they cook, they
do a good job.
Speaker 2 (01:10:12):
Right, I would assume the cost would be that much.
Speaker 1 (01:10:14):
Yes, So these girls like, now it's thirty do shu
only be thirty dollars? What are you talking about? You
know the price of your kid's grilled cheese is ten
dollars right today for grilled cheese, fries and a drink
for a kid. But you thought you think the state
because then you have the salad. To shut up and
(01:10:34):
in the video they claim that that is gen Z.
This is the part thats gon to irritate you that
for gen Z diners, MKT on a menu means marked down?
Where where I eat out a lot? Where is this? Bs?
That's not a thing. Frankly, the city of Beaufort should
(01:10:56):
throw you out of there. Your may you're you're you're
lowering the average IQ down there. Now I've marked down
what is this? That one spot in the meat aisle
with the orange labels? I mean, what are you talking about?
I've no no menu has ever been like, oh uh yeah,
marked down. No, that's what i'm KT stands for. And
(01:11:20):
these are not. I just would point out these are
not like fifteen year old girls. These are grown women.
These are adults. Right, one of us packing a kid?
How that happened? She probably doesn't know, right, like A yeah,
the youngest of the want to film the video is
twenty and the other the other two are older sisters.
(01:11:44):
Oh that's what gen Z says that it means ives no,
stop it now, I dude, I hope this is just
some extent tongue in cheek. But I don't know, man.
But what's crazy is not her posting the video right,
that's crazy in and of itself. It's the it's the
responses that's where that's where the real heinous things going on. Right.
(01:12:09):
They posted a video which might be a little bit
of trolling, although I don't think it is.
Speaker 3 (01:12:14):
But like.
Speaker 1 (01:12:16):
You got all these people going, yeah, you know that
ain't right, and then they're like, we're gonna go, We're
gonna go down vote their rating to some restaurants serving
steak dinners to people. And then you have these lunatics
that are all geared up on hating the rich, and
they just assume, hey, if you have a steak restaurant,
you must be rich. Never mind that you know, margins
(01:12:38):
on restaurants are tiny. So now you're gonna go, You're
gonna go screw with their Yelp review. We are so
broken in the way that we fight.
Speaker 2 (01:12:49):
Just choose where you're going, man, you gotta know where
you're going. Like you're going to like a nice sit
down restaurant.
Speaker 1 (01:12:54):
You look at the menu if you're going to a
restaurant before online, I do.
Speaker 2 (01:12:57):
Yeah. Yeah, it's weird, huh. We rarely go out anyway
because it's hard to take Lincoln places. Sure, we tend
to take our food to go. But I mean, if
they're looking for like a good meal, right, that's that's
with steak, Like you don't have to go to a
nice sit down restaurant.
Speaker 1 (01:13:11):
What do you call?
Speaker 2 (01:13:11):
Texas Roadhouse is amazing and it's super cheap down there.
Speaker 1 (01:13:15):
Yeah out back. The steaks at Outback are good too,
you go there, but yeah, the Texas Texas Roadhouse feels
like stealing.
Speaker 2 (01:13:23):
Oh my god, it does. We just had it again
last night. We have at least like once a month
and it's so good.
Speaker 1 (01:13:27):
What's your go to?
Speaker 2 (01:13:29):
They have this this at least the one in wake Forest.
I don't know it's like a national thing, but they
have like once a month they have a special where
you can get like a family meal and it's like
six pork chops or something like two things of mashed
potatoes and like and and a salad and everything in
the corn. And it's like thirty bucks.
Speaker 1 (01:13:47):
And it's what once a week or once a month.
Speaker 2 (01:13:49):
It's a drive up. You drive up get the family
meal and it's incredible. It's like such a good deal.
Speaker 1 (01:13:53):
Is it always on like the seventh or something or.
Speaker 2 (01:13:56):
I think it's in the beginning of the month. Okay,
I think it's like forty dollars the most, but I'm
telling you it's like six giant pork chops, it's so good.
Or you can get hicks. Yeah yeah, dude, So I
don't know what they're you know, stop complaining. Just find
something that you can afford.
Speaker 1 (01:14:11):
Or you're in a tourist area too, right, right exactly,
Like you know, when we went to tweet See, I
wasn't sitting back going, oh my god, look how expensive
all this food because you realized it's like you're at
the airport.
Speaker 2 (01:14:21):
You're like a tourist trap there, right, like you're gonna
charge more man.
Speaker 1 (01:14:24):
When I was posting the Tweetsy hate photo, when I
was doing my little trip up there, so I could,
you know, kick him in the ribs, I pull over
the gas station right across the street from tweet See
to get that photo, and then I realized the station
vehicle needed gas and it's like twenty cents work for
gas there because it's right across from tweet See. That's
how they get you, right. But then I remember that
I had a gas card, so I filled her on up.
(01:14:47):
But I'm kidding, I did it boon, But like yeah, yeah,
you get like proximity matters.
Speaker 2 (01:14:53):
No, you see that even locally, like down the street right,
you have what is the golf club that used to
go to. I don't know if you still go there,
but there's a gas he's gonna cross the street from it,
and gas there is super more expensive than everywhere else.
Speaker 1 (01:15:03):
Because do you know why. I can tell you why,
because there's rich people at the country club. Now he's
talking about North Rich country Club. And the reason that
the guy across the street has more expensive gases because
he doesn't have ethanol in any of his fuel. So
car guys know that there that is ethanol lists no
ethanol in the fuel. None, there's no corn in any
(01:15:24):
of the fuel. It's one pure dead dinosaur or whatever.
So that's why he charges so much more there.
Speaker 2 (01:15:31):
See, I just assumed it was rich people pulling out
on their BMW's and they're like, I don't care.
Speaker 1 (01:15:35):
Well, no, it is for rich people, which you know,
you've got like fancy cars who think the corn is
gonna gonna break it. But that's why, Yeah, that's kind
of his thing. I mean, he's set up across from
the country club for a reason.
Speaker 2 (01:15:45):
So yeah, and it's super smart.
Speaker 1 (01:15:48):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah. And and you know what,
everybody I know is into cars goes and gets gas
from that guy. So he also he also is a
member over at the club, so he's apparently making a
good amount of money on it. I guess it would be
my point. So anyway, all right, eight sixteen Kcoday Radio program,
Hang on some lunatics mad one hundred thirty dollars for
(01:16:11):
two blankety blank New York strips and a blankety blank
salad is highway robbery, Get out of Raleigh. And these
blank blank want to be high end restaurants. You'll find cheaper,
high quality Ribbis. If you don't. If you don't like it,
don't eat there. I don't act like it's a deal.
Nobody said it was a deal, sir.
Speaker 2 (01:16:28):
No, but you should expect that if you're going to
a nice, sit down steak restaurant, like I said myself.
Speaker 1 (01:16:32):
Let alone one that's on a waterfront in a tourist town.
Speaker 2 (01:16:35):
Yeah, exactly, like your invitation or whatever. Like my family,
we would not go there because I would consider that expensive.
We like Texas Roadhouse and it's amazing. There's yeah, there's
nothing wrong with that.
Speaker 1 (01:16:44):
And there's also great little places that make especially dude, dude,
there's some great little the one between Sparta and Glade
Valley and I can't remember the name of it. They
have steak and eggs like every other place does. The
steak's legit, it's really they cook it well and then
you get a couple of running eggs over. It's amazing.
It's like eighteen dollars or whatever for that, you know
(01:17:05):
that and the coffee and everything for one meal. For
one meal, dude, put your listening ears on. I'm just
saying that it's not unexpected that would be one hundred
and thirty dollars for those items. You forgot the kid's meal,
but that was ten at a waterfront hotel in a
tourist town that considers itself fine dining. Okay, sorry, I'm sorry, Ross,
(01:17:30):
What were you going to say?
Speaker 2 (01:17:31):
No, I mean, it's exactly it. You've got to know
what your location is, where you're going. I mean, if
I'm going like a to like a Ruth Chris or
Ruth's Chris or have you pronounced it, I wouldn't know
because I don't go there, right, I would expect to
pay more money than like a Texas roadhouse a lot
of money.
Speaker 1 (01:17:45):
Let me help our emailer out. You sound like a hipster.
You realize that, right, and nobody likes hipsters. If you
think there's an amazing place for steak, the proper thing
would be like, oh, one hundred and thirty dollars, man,
I don't pay that, I pay this, and here's where
I go. That would be useful. And you can even
tell me don't say it on the radio because I
don't want a bunch of people come here. That'd be fine.
(01:18:06):
You just want to share it with me, but don't
send me your angry email because you don't understand how
pricing works in coastal North Carolina. Dude, have you have
you stepped into one of these higher end tourist traps.
That's what they charge. But these girls acting like it
was going to be thirty dollars. That's the lunacy here. Man.
Speaker 2 (01:18:29):
When we were in Blown Rock, people, we're tight when
we're right. When we were in Blowing Rock, we got
like a tourist.
Speaker 1 (01:18:34):
Area, well blowing don't.
Speaker 2 (01:18:36):
Yeah, we got like four tacos and like you know,
kids meal for Lincoln and it was like fifty dollars.
Speaker 1 (01:18:41):
Yeah, for there's a there's an amazing restaurant outside a
Blowing Rock called Gamekeeper. Bring your wallet. But and but
the menu we they do have, they'll you know, they'll
have beef on there and it's a chicken dish is
like what did I have last time? I think we
had a say, ampler and like this appetizer sampler and
(01:19:04):
then the main courses and it was like Emu wild boar.
It was so good, Like the chef there's killing it man.
And the location's great because it's on School's Mill Road,
so it's yeah, you know, it's a few miles outside
Blowing Rock, but you ain't walking like cocktails are like
twenty two dollars. That's a that's a once a year
if I can treat man, and you know, and and
(01:19:27):
and I'll be honest, I can afford to eat at
those restaurants, probably more so than other people because I look,
I don't have I don't have a bunch of kids, right,
it's just me so but still still, you know where
you're going. And I made a conscious decision to go
to that restaurant. I've brought friends there before and they're like,
this is amazing, but it's not a practical thing, just
(01:19:48):
like eating steak dinner in coastal North Carolina one of
these places. Probably not something you're doing every day, but
you'd have to be alloned to not know it's going
to cost more than thirty dollars. That's the point that
I'm making. So anyway, all right, we're not gonna let
that guy get to me. Let's get to this calls.
We got folks holding and John, you're up first, go ahead.
Speaker 10 (01:20:12):
Uh yeah, so your wrapper name that obviously uh bleuw
off his fingers. He went from four extra and now
we can call him two less.
Speaker 3 (01:20:21):
I would be willing.
Speaker 10 (01:20:23):
Or if you want to stick with the four extra,
if you just be four extra, put him minus on
him in two behind it. If he wants to keep
the original name, let's think you too.
Speaker 1 (01:20:30):
I thought too extra work because if you consider them extra,
then you don't need them, right, So that's true.
Speaker 10 (01:20:36):
And if the evolf game, if you're pulling it left,
if you've been shrinking it right, but you're pulling it
left now, chances are you're just gripping it too hard.
You just imagine that you're holding a tub of twoth faste.
Speaker 1 (01:20:45):
Everyone tells me that. Everyone tells me that, and the
problem is, uh heat right, I feel like the club's
gonna come flying out of my hand, and so I like,
if it's really hot, I have to double glove. Man Like,
it's a problem.
Speaker 10 (01:20:58):
That's fine if the club. So, maybe your ball will
go with it, maybe it'll go straight, but at least, uh,
at least you'll be hitting it straight.
Speaker 1 (01:21:06):
Yeah, I have a Traditionally driving has not really been
much of my issue. I've got a pretty good and
it's like left to right and just a nice little
maybe like fifteen fifteen yard movement. Uh, and now it's
just just looney tunes to the left. I don't know.
I think the driver's broken, sir. I think they gave
me a bumper.
Speaker 10 (01:21:24):
Could be your shaft, Yeah, it could be the staff
on the driver check it.
Speaker 1 (01:21:26):
Yeah, I'm gonna blame everything but me. So thank you
for helping.
Speaker 10 (01:21:29):
Twenty four nine nine for your Texas Righthouse Porkhops?
Speaker 1 (01:21:33):
Was the twenty? Is that?
Speaker 11 (01:21:34):
What the for the family deal?
Speaker 1 (01:21:36):
Yep?
Speaker 10 (01:21:36):
Family deal? Yeah, you get to choose between chicken old.
Speaker 1 (01:21:40):
You're on the air, sir, what do you wanna? What
do you want to talk about?
Speaker 8 (01:21:43):
I was just Gonna. I was commenting to Ross about
how how always the Disney y'all were talking about the
three chicks there and in Beaufort and at Disney it
was it was like eleven dollars for a cup of beer.
Super expensive. They should have expected that.
Speaker 1 (01:22:03):
Yeah, you know, I mean, I don't care if you
go to a nice steakhouse in uh let me not
pick on anybody, but if you went to if you
went to a nice there's a couple of nice restaurants
in Pittsburgh where I could, I would just assume that
three people and a kid, if they ordered steaks, would
walk out with more than one hundred dollars bill. So
let's not pretend that it's just a coastal thing. But yeah,
(01:22:23):
Disney's that on steroids for sure.
Speaker 8 (01:22:26):
Oh yeah, absolutely. But you know, to your point, if
the kids kneal, the girl cheese is ten bucks and
the salad's ten bucks, that leave ten dollars where they
think they're steaks were five dollars apiece.
Speaker 1 (01:22:39):
Yeah, yeah, I did. It doesn't math And and again
I'm i one. If they actually believe that, then God
help them. But even if they're not there. Karens Well,
the well I don't. I don't know. They actually seem nice.
They just didn't see she didn't seem that smart. But
again maybe maybe it's all an act. The problem for
me was the comments where people are now like, well
(01:23:01):
let's and now we're going to weaponize it. We're going
to go trash the reviews on yop. Those people weren't
joking and this is like, this is what we've become.
Speaker 8 (01:23:09):
Me I had, and that is sad messing with somebody's
livelihood or something like that.
Speaker 1 (01:23:15):
So yeah, and that's a seasonal you know, Beaufort, it's
a seasonal place too, and I wonder if they ate
during the fishing tournament too.
Speaker 8 (01:23:22):
Yeah, well you know what that's that would crack you in,
I would imagine.
Speaker 1 (01:23:26):
So yeah, absolutely please all right, well I appreciate it, sir,
Thank you very much. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (01:23:34):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:23:35):
Disney is uh. I I've literally I've still never been
to Disney World. Ross has gone there quite a few times.
But I see those videos that I don't know. There
was a trend here like a month ago where people
like what I spent in one day at Disney, And
I watched a couple of those, and now I'm never
going I don't care if I if I end up
(01:23:56):
like the von Trapps, right, so even you.
Speaker 2 (01:23:59):
Know, even when we did go, because it's been a
while now, right like before COVID. Uh, we would budget
it like we would figure it out, like we don't
stay on property because it's so expensive. We would airbnb
a house and it be like, you know, so much cheaper,
like five hundred dollars for a week you know, to
spend there, oh yeah, as opposed to like a night.
And then we would bring our own lunches, you know,
we we would we would bring our own snacks because
(01:24:20):
it's so expensive.
Speaker 1 (01:24:21):
Yeah, you can't. There's nothing you can do about the tickets.
Those are gonna be what they are, right and unless
you know somebody although she doesn't work at the station
we need her to work at anymore. But yeah, yeah,
but you know the reality, the reality is, you know
a little bit of research, So I didn't really so
you budgeted like a micro retirement huh.
Speaker 2 (01:24:40):
No, Mark, He's like super good at this stuff, man,
like really really good.
Speaker 3 (01:24:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:24:45):
I remember, I remember you sell me pictures of that
townhouse you guys are staying in. So yeah, that's the
way to do it, man, Absolutely Jake, what's going on?
Speaker 9 (01:24:55):
Yeah, to reiterate going to Disney, I went to the
Blue Bayou, which upper scale restaurant in Goosey, and uh,
it's right on the waterfront of the Pirates of Kerry.
Speaker 10 (01:25:05):
Bean, right, And it was seventy dollars for two appetizers
and a large place at spaghetti for my wife, kid
and myself.
Speaker 1 (01:25:14):
Do you at least get to is there a show
with it or something?
Speaker 9 (01:25:18):
Yeah, it's it's real quiet.
Speaker 1 (01:25:19):
It's real dark.
Speaker 9 (01:25:20):
It's getting like over stimulated.
Speaker 10 (01:25:22):
It's quiet. It's dark.
Speaker 1 (01:25:25):
Is it like it didn't want like a dinner theater things?
I know some of those are like that, or is
it just a restaurant?
Speaker 10 (01:25:31):
This one was literally just on the waterfront of the ride.
Speaker 1 (01:25:34):
You could watch people go.
Speaker 9 (01:25:35):
By and the ride and it's a really comfortable place
to cool down and everything else like that.
Speaker 10 (01:25:40):
So that's why it's like like it's.
Speaker 8 (01:25:42):
The premiere real estate was in Disneyland.
Speaker 10 (01:25:45):
For fresh Drops.
Speaker 1 (01:25:46):
Well now you ruined it, sir. Now you told everybody
all across uh, the Triad and the Triangle, and next
time you go, it's, uh, it's gonna be like, yeah,
at least the least thing you should get to watch
somebody get eaten by gator or something from that. Well
all right, all right, well I'll take your dark humor.
(01:26:14):
I'm the one I started it. At least get to
watch somebody get eaten by a gator seventy dollars for appetizers.
I'm sorry, I want to see something happen, man, anything really?
All right? Uh yeah, I got time for this. Let's
go ahead and do this. Uh So we're gonna get
into more of this coming up with Stephen Kent on Thursday,
(01:26:35):
who we are now one convinced as a CIA operative
who also does radio from time to time, because Ross
just told me he's gonna be calling from where. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:26:45):
No, So this morning I'm sending him stuff for his
Thursday phone hit, like.
Speaker 1 (01:26:49):
You know, yeah story, putting the prep to that.
Speaker 3 (01:26:51):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:26:52):
So I typically send them to him like Wednesday night,
so we can read them and digest him, you know,
for the for his hit on Thursday mornings. Right, So
I send him this morning, like five o'clock in the morning.
I'm sending him some stuff and he gets back to
me right away, which is not normal, and he's like, oh,
this is going to be great. The time zone is
actually going to be beneficial to me, and like where
are you now? Like where are you this time?
Speaker 1 (01:27:10):
And he said he was recently in Poland. He said
he was in Kentucky.
Speaker 2 (01:27:14):
Southeast Southeast Asia. He's always somewhere, right, and so I'm
like where are you And he's like, well, I'm in
Austria this week.
Speaker 1 (01:27:21):
I'm like, dude, nobody but spies go to Austria.
Speaker 2 (01:27:24):
I sent him the gift of you know, of the
scope going over Matt Damon's head where they are. Oh
my god, it's Jason Bourne. I just wrote back, Oh
my god, it's Stephen Kent. And I tell you he's
not beating the allegations at this point.
Speaker 1 (01:27:36):
No, no, no, no, there's no there's no reason to
go to Vienna. Might be Vienna is like probably one
of the most expensive cities in Europe too. So well,
I told him to wear pay one hundred and thirty
dollars for a steak, don't go there. I told him
to wear his nasty mustard colored turtleneck for his phone hit,
so he'll be dressed appropriately. Yeah. Yeah, Well he failed
(01:27:59):
to that Star Trek thing he paid a gazillion dollars
for with the cape, so he owes it to us.
All right, so a couple of things we're gonna be
talking about. One I've been on them. I'm like Ross,
the New Superman. I'm always nervous now with anything with
Hollywood and anything that I like. That being said, a
lot of people were pretty confident in that this New
(01:28:23):
Superman it wasn't gonna be all woke, and they liked
the director and the guy playing Superman looked good in
the trailer, so maybe it was gonna be good, and
and and then I saw this. Ross brought this to
my attention yesterday James Gunn talking about the New Superman
and what it's really about, because of course everyone's got
(01:28:44):
a even people have nothing to do with the movie
will be like, well, what it is is the story?
What was it where this happened the other day? And
somebody was like, well, it's really a story of the
battle between the right and the left, and blah blah blah,
and some many in the movies like now.
Speaker 2 (01:28:58):
It's just a movie because here's this movie, the.
Speaker 1 (01:29:01):
New Sinners movie. Okay, so I watched that, by the way,
and here's here's what I tell right, And I'm gonna
I'm gonna actually change a little of what I said yesterday.
So I watched the New Centers. It's it's on HBO.
It loaded up on Saturday, was Rain and whatever. Watch them.
So there is a lot of references to racism in
(01:29:23):
the movie, but you have to understand the movie takes
place in nineteen twenties Mississippi, and it's got Michael B.
Jordan and his cousin or whatever, and are are kind
of the two main characters, and then they have a
third they have a third cousin or now they're brothers,
and then they have a cousin. And so they're trying
to open a juke joint, right, a blues joint, and
(01:29:49):
there's scenes like where a white woman tries to come
in there and they're like, no, you can't come in
here because if you do, the Klan will come get us.
And I think maybe that's what people are thinking's woke,
but that's that actually fits the timeline right, and there
is there is a clan part of it in there,
but nothing seems out of nineteen It doesn't seem out
(01:30:11):
of place in nineteen twenties. And I wouldn't say they
dwell on it. The only thing that kind of got
me is it where I think there was a little
preachy is if they were intending to go for an
analogy that the vampires are white people and then white
people are vampiric the but I don't know if that's
what they were going for. As far as just a
(01:30:32):
good vampire action flat, it's pretty good. It's pretty good.
Unfortunately though with Superman, which we thought was just going
to be Superman, I don't know after listening to this
interview with James Gunn.
Speaker 6 (01:30:44):
Is exactly what the movie is about.
Speaker 1 (01:30:47):
I think that like or shawangun excuse me, Seawan Gunn,
I said, James Gunn, uh.
Speaker 2 (01:30:51):
You no, no, no, James Gunn said the same thing. But
they're interviewing his brother, who is out with him in
certain movies like yeah he works, Shawn gun was on
the Red carpet. That's what the audio is, Okay, all right,
So then I'll tell you what James Gunn said here
in a moment, right here's Sean.
Speaker 6 (01:31:05):
Gunn is exactly what the movie is about. I think that, like,
we support our people, you know, we love our immigrants,
we love yes Superman is an immigrant, and yes, the
people know that we support in this country are immigrants
and if you don't like that, then you're not American.
Speaker 1 (01:31:29):
Okay, all right, so there you go. So James Gunn,
in a piece that was done by the Times of London,
essentially echoed that, or I guess started that, because then
they asked James or Sean about it. He said that
it's the story of America. Superman. I mean, Superman is
the story of America, an immigrant that came from other
places and populated the country. But for me, it is
(01:31:49):
mostly a story that says basic human kindness is of
value and something we have lost. So I don't know
how much they're going to lean into this thing with that,
But what do you doing now? I suspect the reporter
kind of goaded him with some of the questions, because
you know how these reporters ask questions nowadays. But but
(01:32:11):
can you imagine if all of the illegal immigrants that
they're rounding up right now had superpowers? How badly that
would be going. That thought just permeated my brain, like
you just be like, nah, we're good.
Speaker 2 (01:32:24):
You'd have to have a wall made out of kryptonite
or something, right, Yeah, you have to kryptonite everything.
Speaker 1 (01:32:29):
Man, kryptomize, tactical gear, kryptonite firearms, kryptonite everything. Man, the
only way you're getting that done. How much would it
cost to build a kryptonite wall? I don't even know.
Oh crap, look at the clock here. I raced agent
for the weathersdam.
Speaker 11 (01:32:44):
Sorry, well you're it's fine. There's soliloquy, just just going
a little long there, right, Yeah. I like to see it,
believe or not. Just watch A Man of Steel the
other day. I like that.
Speaker 1 (01:32:54):
Yeah, I just look, I just pretty got stuff and
enjoy it. And you know what, some of it is too.
I think that there's been so much of this stuff
that has been intentionally included to be political that it
makes me overthink a lot of things. I think I
overthought Sinners when I.
Speaker 11 (01:33:09):
Was right to Ross yesterday. You just wanted to check
that out?
Speaker 1 (01:33:13):
Go watch it.
Speaker 2 (01:33:14):
The funny thing is, like everything I've been hearing is
that this movie is not woke, and that's not what
it is. But then they get in the red carpet
and it's like they sabotage the whole thing, right, you
know what I mean? Like, what are you doing?
Speaker 11 (01:33:23):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (01:33:24):
Yeah, I don't know. You In thirty seconds because I rand.
Speaker 11 (01:33:28):
Yeah hot today he did de seize one hundred and
five triangles. Not maybe not quite as hot triad, but
still hot enough. Everybody's between ninety and ninety five. Rain
chants decent today, but much better Wednesday through the rest
of the week. Could be some localized flooding with stronger
storms Wednesday through Thursday and Friday Tomorrow. Is still hot,
close to ninety heat index close to where over one
(01:33:49):
hundred depending on where you are, will come down into
the eighties with the better rain chances later in the week.
Speaker 1 (01:33:54):
Okay, all right, thank you sir, appreciate it, and we'll
come back with Jeff Bellinger next morning.
Speaker 12 (01:33:58):
A case I report this morning sponsored by Fidelity. A
letters unveiled by President Trump set the teriff rates for
several key trading partners, but the President has postponed the
start of the highest levees and to longest first, and
he suggested he's still open to negotiations and further tweaks
may be coming. Sentiment among the nation's small business owners
(01:34:20):
was slightly more bearish last month than in May. The
Optimism Index from the National Federation of Independent Business ticked
down two tenths percent about a fifth of the business
owner's surveyed said taxes were their biggest issue, and since then,
of course, President Trump has signed off on his fiscal
package that includes tax cuts. The days going through airport

security without your shoes are reportedly about to end. Source
to say a Transportation Security Administration policy change will allow
travelers to keep their shoes on. It will likely speed
up the screening process. Critics have long contended the shoe rule,
enacted in the post nine to eleven tightening of airport
security is more security theater than actual security enhancement. Starbucks

Krispy Kreme is celebrating the DC superheroes Superman, Batman, and

the anniversary, the fast food chain has added three spicy
(01:35:39):
versions of its McMuffin sandwiches to the breakfast menu. McDonald
says they'll be around for limited time only.
Speaker 1 (01:35:46):
Casey, of course, anything that sounds remotely interesting limited time only.
All right, well, thanks for that, appreciate it. Okay, all right,
there you go a bit right angry over breakfast sandwiches. Hey, Ross,
have you heard of the Velvet Sundown. I've not okay,
not to be confused with Velvet Underground or any of that.
This is a newer band called Velvet Sundown, uh, and
(01:36:10):
they have quickly amass quite a following. In fact, let's
see here, they're averaging Uh. Well, they hit the one
million monthly uh listeners on Spotify, which is kind of
that's the that's the plateau for when you're kind of
making it. And I can't I I Dust if you
(01:36:31):
want to go listen to. I can't play their music
because it's probably copyrighted and it's a whole thing, so
I can't do that for you. But it's called Velvet
Sundown and their big hit is Dust on the Wind.
It's not bad. There's a problem though, that just came
to light. Ross. Do you want to guess what the
problem is? Ai, They're not real.
Speaker 2 (01:36:54):
It's ah my god, it's gen Z's Milli Vanilly.
Speaker 1 (01:36:58):
It's but it's not. It's because they're exist decided to
tell people, what do you They don't know who Millivanilli is.
Speaker 2 (01:37:06):
No, but at least our Milli Vanilli. There is people
pretending to be something. They're now the other guy, right,
this doesn't even exist.
Speaker 1 (01:37:12):
Yeah, well hold on. So here's the explanation they gave
when they were explaining it to people. All right, uh
so they have added this now to their ex account.
It says Velvet Sundown is quote is a band a
band that is quote guided by human creative direction and composed, voiced,
and visualized with the support of artificial intelligence. I don't,
(01:37:37):
I don't. I'm not even mad. Honestly, this is so predictable.
Did you ever see the thing where they broke down
country music? Some guy broke it down and they figured
out that there's a tempo that is present in like
I think it was like eighteen of the twenty songs
of the year for this whatever span they were covering,
And you know, it's just it's just something that you know,
(01:37:59):
some consciously registers with people and so people include it.
I don't know what it is. I'm not a music
a musician, but like you're gonna but imagine this like
I can't sing and I could be a famous rock
star kind of. That's that's I mean, this is like,
(01:38:19):
this is Hollywood's nightmare right here.
I appreciate you all out there listening, and just cause
just because you don't hear back from me or necessarily
hear it on the air. Well, there's several options as
to why that is. One, you would not believe the
amount of email we get. It's stupid, and most of
it is stupid. It's not actual listeners contacting us. It's
(00:23):
press people sending interviews. Occasionally, salespeople want you to do stuff,
all right, sometimes that can be profitable, and it's just
a bunch of nonsense because you end up on every
political mailing. Like there's a reason when they put the
what was it, the can Spam Act or whatever they
(00:43):
called it, they exempted themselves because they're just a holes
who want to load you down. That being said, I
really do try to at least glance at everything, but
you're you're not necessarily going to get a response. That
being said, Also, if you send a story and it's
a good story and then you hear it on the air,
(01:04):
go ahead and take the w right. There's a lot
of times people send me stuff and it doesn't suck.
Most of it does, but or is repetitive. I should
say it doesn't suck, but it's like, I'm on it,
don't worry about it. So but here's the deal. If
you're polite, even if you're persistent, I totally respect that.
(01:25):
So let me say this. John. I'm assuming that's your
name because it's the handle here, so, or at least
part of it. I have no idea what this is.
So we've had a guy, Ross, you're gonna have to
help me. We've had a guy. He's actually sent me
emails since last week. He loves the Stephen, he loves
(01:48):
our Thursday segment. So maybe I'll just put this in
his lap. He's like, guys, if you're gonna talk about
shows or video games that are getting ruined, you got
to please ask what Netflix did to try to pronounce
this Kakya guru. I think it's anime of some sort. Bro,
(02:14):
I'm glad you like that or don't, apparently or don't
like what Netflix did to it. I have no idea
what that is. I and Ross has no idea what
that is.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
Yeah, I've never heard of that before in my life.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
That being said, if your your point is that Netflix
took your beloved thing and then uh screwed it over, uh,
you're probably right and I feel bad for you so,
like because that fits with the theme.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
And we've said it before too in the show, like,
it's nothing against it, I think, like, and we've talked
to Stephen Kent about this on Thursdays, where it's like
a generational thing with the anime, right yeah, yeah yeah.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
And some people are into some stuff, some of they're not.
I made fun of Ross yesterday for uh not doing
the Lord of the Rings, right, made a little joke.
Speaker 2 (03:02):
I mean, I've given it a shot. Yeah, I like,
you know, and I respect Tolkien's work, but every time
I sit down to watch it, I fall asleep.
Speaker 1 (03:10):
Yeah it's okay, it's okay. Yeah, so when it But
but to your point with the anime, yeah, I definitely
think it is. I think if you and I were
ten years younger, we'd probably be like, oh yeah, I
can't believe what those bastards did.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
But I have no ideas like the anime, the whole style,
I don't I don't get it. We don't even like manga.
I don't know what the heck that is. I don't
just lost. Oh I was looking at the other thing, right, yeah, yeah, yeah,
it's completely different.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
Oh whatever. Uh yeah, So But here's the deal. If
you say that happened, I totally believe you, because we
do enough of those stories and I'm sorry that happened
to you. And I actually do have a little knowledge
on this because I remember educating myself on Cowboy Bebop,
which I had no I had no idea what it was,
(04:00):
but I remember when Netflix did it, like the anime
people were beside themselves, and I read a couple and
I watched a couple videos from like It's a Gundam
and a nerd rotic, so I would at least understand it,
and they you guys, got totally hosed on that.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
I think the outreach too in the anime like community
or the fandom. Once again, going back to something Stephen
told us on a Thursday, right, is that this tends
to be a place where the political correctness hasn't really
struck yet, right, correct, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
That was that was the beef. And I think with
the Cowboy Bebop, it's basically it's a female character who
runs around murdering people and essentially Daisy Dukes and a altertop, right,
which is not surprising in the world of anime. And
so when they made the show they kind of put
her in that even though people knew she couldn't wear
(04:51):
what she was wearing for obvious reasons. And then but
the problem was the actress made a video making fun
of the fans for like, oh, you're not getting what
you want, you bunch of pervs. And it's just like
it was Ghostbusters all over again, like why do you
do it? Was I believe it was even before they
aired an episode or something, and she wrote she made
(05:13):
some video, uh, calling everyone who likes the original concept
essentially a bunch of child molesters or site was was
really aggressive.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
Yeah, I mean that that trend of like self sabotage
of the product before the product is released is nuts.
Speaker 1 (05:29):
Yeah, yeah, I think there was. The trailer got released,
people made some comments like well, she doesn't even look
like it and and and she's like, well, let me
make a video that'll be helpful. So that's the only
one I know of. But if they if they messed
with your cock Kake Guru, I'm very sorry, And if
I mispronounce it, I apologize. But if you listen to
(05:49):
the show, you know that I always mispronounced stuff, although
this time I'm not trying to. I just have no idea.
So there's there's that. Yeah, yeah, that was kind of
a trend, wasn't it. I'm trying to think it was
Ghostbusters the Cowboy Bebop on Netflix.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
I mean, wait, wait, put a bunch of yeah, we
just saw it was snow White.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
And I was just gonna say and then the I
don't say the og, but the big one everyone knows
is snow White. Although she didn't shoot the video, she
was given interviews and then there was some video she shot.
But however, you get there, you still got there. So yeah,
it was pretty pretty dum. I honestly, I gotta think
(06:31):
they start writing this into contracts. I think after snow
White they got to be like all right, yeah, no,
I don't know how they write it in there. But
there's too much money on the line. There's way too
much money. Doesn't she have a movie that's opening like
this weekend too that people are already con like, I
(06:51):
haven't heard anything about the movie itself, but like people
just assume, because she's so hated, it's going to impact
this next movie. If it does, she done right, I
have to because that's the easy path for studios. They're
(07:12):
just like, oh, we're just not going to hire you anymore.
Like she had some stuff in the can, some other
stuff she was contracted to. But if she tanks a
second movie just with her mere presence, that's it. Hollywood's over.
I'll have a tall coffee leave room for cream. I mean,
that's it. That would be very impressive. So I'm sorry
(07:37):
what happened to your anime, sir, because again, if you
write a nice email, I'm not even gonna be like
guys that furry port. I don't know what that is,
just ross and I just don't know anything about it.
But I have in other instances try to educate myself,
and I'll just I'll take your word for it, Okay,
all right, six fourteen here on the k CODA radio program.
(08:02):
Coming up, will continue to try to find the Epstein
thing that doesn't exist, although now we have official statements
as to what the heck might be going on, we'll
run it bias. See if you buy any of that garbage. Yep,
That's where I'm at. I'm officially in a really really
really untrustworthy foul mood over that. And I did not
(08:28):
like what I saw yesterday with the Press secretary trying
to explain it and it's not necessarily on her, but
unfortunately she is the she's the face of the administration.
And I don't want to be treated like a child,
and you're treating me like a child. And don't get
me wrong, I can act like a child. And if
(08:49):
that's what you want, I will. I will hold on
to this. I'll put it in my pocket and then
bring it up at every step of the way. Asked
Tom tillis I remember stuff? And I am. I am
not pleased with the the response because I was looking
(09:12):
forward to you, I say, because I just assumed during
the White House Press conference that they were they had
to bring up this Epstein stuff. And I didn't even
care if it was like the gotcha right where it's
like MSNBC blah blah blah, reporter, who cares, you know,
bringing up the Epstein stuff to play gotcha? I just
I want answers. Give me answers, it make it makes sense.
(09:35):
Explain to me why things are on the desk, why
there's binders, why you know the indictments are coming, why
any any of this was going on when apparently none
of that was true and uh and actually it was.
Speaker 3 (09:53):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (09:54):
Well, there's a couple, but really the person who asked
the media's question was a Doocey from Fox Pam Bondi's
Home away from Home man. And the answer, let's just say,
was not satisfying. How's that are? You want to hear it?
All right? So here is the exchange. Prepared to be disappointed,
(10:17):
slash angry, slash mouthing what the hell to yourself?
Speaker 4 (10:21):
Yeah, I looked at the circumstances surrounding the death of
Jeffrey Epstein. According to the report, this systematic review revealed
no incriminating client list. So what happened to the Epstein
client list that the Attorney General said she had on
her desk?
Speaker 5 (10:39):
Well, I think if you go back and look at
what the Attorney General said in that interview, which was
on your network on Fox News, go ahead.
Speaker 4 (10:45):
And Roberts said, doj may be releasing the list of
Jeffrey Epstein's clients? Will that really happen? And she said,
it's sitting on my desk right now to review.
Speaker 1 (10:54):
All right, I want to reiterate before you hear her answer.
So Doosy brought quotes so I didn't even have to
pull the audio. I was gonna pull the audio. I
don't have to pull the audio. That makes Ross happy?
What what John Roberts, you know, what's essentially? What's up
with the Epstein list? Specifically references it, and Pam Bondi
(11:15):
says it's on my desk. All right, we're good. I
know it's early. All right, we're all on the same page.
Specifically referenced this is very important, specifically referenced. Didn't ask
about anything else in that question. Specifically referenced Epstein list
(11:37):
on my desk. Okay, all right, here we go.
Speaker 5 (11:40):
Yes, she was saying the entirety of all of the paperwork,
all of the paper in relation to Jeffrey Epstein's crimes.
That's what the Attorney General was referring to.
Speaker 1 (11:49):
And I'll let her all I'm sorry, was I not?
How big is her desk? Do you remember when they
were talking about the amount of paperwork because they were
criticizing the Southern District of New York for withholding it
like oh, we only got a few boxes, and but
there's a truckload or there's you know, uh crates full right?
(12:15):
How is she getting work done? Is it some like
comically in like a cartoon movie? Desk where you have
to you know, like you know, like an old Looney
Tunes thing, or you got to take an elevator to
the top of your files. The what are you talking about? Oh,
she meant all the stuff. And by the way, nobody
thinks that he has a list. That's like, it's just
(12:37):
you know petos, right, it's just god like everybody's name
under their and their contact info. When we refer to
a list, you're referring to what you're able to extract
from the totality of the communications. Right. It takes a
little work there. But again, and I said this yesterday,
you're dealing with some of the most scheduled people in
(12:58):
the world, and while they're not going to right go
into the island to rape minors, you're able to tally
traditional community communicate. Ross deletes anything you send him. I
just want to point this out. Ross deletes anything you
send him, and that includes me. Maybe would you keep
(13:23):
your wife's stuff or do you have a do you
have a delete thing for that too?
Speaker 2 (13:26):
Like text message threads?
Speaker 3 (13:28):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (13:28):
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (13:29):
The only text message threads I currently have on my
phone or my wife's and my mom's. Yeah, okay, as
soon as I'm done with a conversation on text message,
it's deleted.
Speaker 1 (13:37):
Yeah, don't get me wrong, there's something he needs to save.
He'll save it. That's fine. But yeah, he's like he's
And I promise you a minor investigation could still extract
those text messages. You could have our we send each
other NERD news for Thursday yesterday. So if I wanted
to get a hold of those links yesterday where we're
(13:58):
going back and forth through the power of you know,
digital whatever, you could.
Speaker 2 (14:06):
Go ahead extract those, you know, and when it comes
to PREP, like you send me links for PREP, I
will delete those and then during the show, I go
into the deleted folder and I repost them on the
on the account.
Speaker 1 (14:15):
Dangerous look at you? What happens?
Speaker 2 (14:18):
If it's just like super delete, it's just like a
it's an OCD thing, like I hate the mess Like
I saw you posting the photo of your inbox of
your email. My current inbox is zero yeah.
Speaker 1 (14:28):
Min's twelve hon Yeah, actually no way, hold on. Some
losers sent me some stuff over Night's twelve seventeen. That's
after I delete. I went through.
Speaker 2 (14:35):
Currently currently in my email inbox for work, I have
four emails, the prep email I send to myself so
I can repost links and I and I send it
to myself so I know that it went through to
other people. Correct what I myself on the list. Yeah,
that's other pre ted Bud's communication guy talking about a
live hit next Tuesday. So I'm keeping that in there
to remind myself something about the gym downstairs from sales
(14:57):
and Trevor for cash keywords to put it for you.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
I was gonna go, look, yeah, I looked at the glass.
Speaker 2 (15:04):
Okay, that's nice. But yeah, anyway, four emails and mainon
Bucks and they.
Speaker 1 (15:09):
Could still figure out Ross like our entire communications from
last week. So I don't want to hear this garbage.
Hold on, let's hear the rest of this garbage speak
for that.
Speaker 5 (15:18):
But again, when it comes to the FBI and the
Department of Justice, they are more than committed to ensuring
that bad people are put behind bars. They have an
operation going on right now called Summer Heats, which has
our murder rate trending.
Speaker 1 (15:32):
By the way, I want to admit I was wrong yesterday.
Speaker 2 (15:34):
Ross.
Speaker 1 (15:35):
Do you remember our little exercise yesterday morning or I
had you pretend to be a reporter and asked me
about the Epstein thing, and I went, oh, I can't
believe we want to talk about that when there's all
these dead kids and Texas. Yeah, huh, I just had
the wrong thing. They were gonna pivot to. Whoopsie. That's
my bad. All right, I'm up against the clock. So
(15:55):
when we come back, I will play the full cut,
but there's no new information, and I'll do it victory
dance because I was right. I just had the wrong thing.
They were gonna pivot to. Whoopsie. My bad will be
right back. Ross was doing a little scouting and it
didn't go well, not like Vietnam scouting. Uh, but you know,
uh new office. So they have been absolutely gutting and
(16:19):
renovating every aspect of the Raleigh building, not just the
studios like that went on. We just in fact, we
just had our open house last week, so and Ross
showed up the client events and the salespeople look like
on I think we mentioned on the air, they look
(16:42):
like they just saw Jesus, not in the not in.
Speaker 2 (16:45):
That way, but it was it was like a bigfoot sighting.
Speaker 1 (16:48):
Yeah yeah, it's probably a better reference. Yeah. So we
just had that. But the whole building. They've been screwing
around with right and some and some of it looks
pretty good. That's why ask ROSSI peeked his head in
his look at the gym there. I kind of saw
it as well, But you gotta because we've always had
a athletic locker room, but we didn't have a gym
(17:10):
in the building, so I was curious what they do.
We've also had a store and when I first started,
and I don't know, Ross, if it was anything different
when you first started. It used to be a little
Greek dude who would take twenty minutes to make a sandwich.
But he was a nice guy. He had the stuff
(17:30):
you wanted, you could you could drop off dry cleaning
there and for whatever reason, like I don't know, eight
nine years ago, when they did like a soft renovate,
they create and we talked about it on the air.
The Trustworthy vending store right where there's nobody working there,
(17:52):
there's cameras I guess, I don't know, and you go in,
you grab all the stuff you wanted off the shelf,
and then it was on the honor system for you
to pay, and we went through that. How long was that,
like six seven years they had.
Speaker 2 (18:06):
Yeah, there's a bunch and they had like tons of
refrigerators with sandwiches and different stuff.
Speaker 1 (18:10):
It was good, Yeah, until COVID hit and then I
got a little soft and then it picked up again,
and yeah, I enjoyed that. Although sometimes the machine wouldn't
work and so you could fill out. It was a
double honor. You fill out a slip or whatever, and
I'm like, I gotta do a morning show.
Speaker 2 (18:24):
It would suck because you would come in super I
would come in super early to work and I'm like, well,
you're gonna stop anywhere because I got the little store
downstairs right And then I'd come in and the dumb
checkout machine would not be working, so I would take
what I wanted. I would look at the cameras and
be like, I'm coming back tomorrow to pay for this,
and yeah, I would go back and around.
Speaker 1 (18:39):
I'd always pay absolutely yep.
Speaker 2 (18:41):
I don't know, yeah, yeah no, because you're a good person.
And also you don't want to get fired for stealing
a tune of fish sandwich or whatever, like why were
you let go?
Speaker 3 (18:51):
Well?
Speaker 1 (18:51):
Yeah, it was really hungry. Yeah, man, But now they
put in a and I don't know if this is
going to be the finality of it. They have like
this super futuristic venum. Shit, I have not touched this thing.
Rosst it right.
Speaker 2 (19:09):
So this past weekend, uh, you know, fourth of July,
three day weekend, Lincoln's been off school, so he just
wanted to go for a long ride. So he legs
going past the museum downtown. We've mentioned that tons of times.
Oh yeah, yeah, legs driving bas to the big Earth,
you know, and taking a picture of it, and you know,
so you just want to drive past it, didn't you
want to go into this past weekend. So on the
way back Mark He's like, hey, let's stop at the
(19:29):
radio station and see the remodel. Because I was trying
to explain.
Speaker 1 (19:32):
To her because the whole studios everything is completely different
and it's hard to explain. And even if except.
Speaker 2 (19:40):
Right the actual working bones of the studios haven't changed,
which you can tell on numerous occasions here when things
when things blow up, But yeah, it's hard to explain.
Even if you send a video, it's hard to really
wrap your brain around how much here it's changed when
it comes to the outlay of the floor. So I'm like, yeah, sure,
we'll take you up. So Lincoln had a good time.
He was in the studio it's playing. So I had
(20:02):
a great time. And on the way down, we go
down to the lower lobby where the old store used
to be, and now it's all just chair new chairs
and tables and there's one single machine and but yeah,
it's only drinks. Yeah, there used to be challenges.
Speaker 1 (20:19):
That's gone.
Speaker 2 (20:19):
Tons of sandwiches and stuff, it's all gone. So now
this is one single machine. I'm like, I'm thirsty, and
I'm looking through the glass and I'm like, well, what's
in there? Like, oh, they got Celsius. I love Celsius.
Speaker 6 (20:28):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (20:28):
Yeah, Like I'll have one of those. So I go in.
I go to open up the freezer and it looks
like in a grocery store with the glass where you
can open it where you get the food in the
frozen food sections. So I'm like, all right, well we'll
all get one of those Celsius. And I go to
open it and it's locked and you first you have
to scan your card. Okay, so you have to scan
your card even before you can open I'm like, that's fine,
no problem, sir.
Speaker 1 (20:50):
Put the quarters in the vending machine before you get.
Speaker 2 (20:52):
The final fine, So I open it up, I take
my Celsius, I close it. The machine locks, the door locks,
and it starts to cycle through you know, the payment thing,
and it's like you've been charged. And I'm like, okay, okay,
all right, that was that was fine.
Speaker 1 (21:05):
So wait hold on, hold on, hold on. You forgot
the uh the AI component. It's very important.
Speaker 2 (21:11):
Yeah yeah yeah yeah so so so no here. So
here's the thing. So I'm checking my payment the next
day online. I'm looking through my baked statement like I do,
and I'm like, what is this ten dollars charge? What
is Haha Innovations ten dollars to ha Ha Innovations? Like
what is that? So I googled it's like, Haha Innovations
Is I saved it? Hold on it is, It's right here.
(21:32):
Uh Haha Innovations, Inc. Also known as Haha Vending, is
a company specializing in AI powered smart vending machines.
Speaker 1 (21:41):
Oh okay, this AAI. What was the AI component?
Speaker 2 (21:45):
I guess it knows what you take out of the
fridge and it stores.
Speaker 1 (21:50):
It shot everything. Everybody shut up.
Speaker 2 (21:54):
Anyway, you're paying ten dollars for a Celsius because you're
paying for the AI of this machine. I'm never using
the machine again.
Speaker 1 (22:02):
That's brutal. The name too, right, because you don't see
the name until you're like, where where did ten dollars
got this?
Speaker 2 (22:10):
They charged me more than four times what a Celsius
is worth, like typically a run two fifty three.
Speaker 1 (22:15):
Are you sure you didn't like create it because our
old one you could create an account that you'd have money.
It was kind of a pain.
Speaker 2 (22:19):
The other one. Yeah, you had to do like a
thumb print and you had to create an account and
it would show you how much this is nothing, and
you just scan it. It bleeps open, you know, bleeps open,
which it's it's kind of like it's bleeping at you,
like in a swear, like an expletive.
Speaker 1 (22:31):
Now that's how it optably is.
Speaker 3 (22:33):
It's like a.
Speaker 2 (22:34):
Blank you buddy, to take your Celsius. You take it,
you close it, it locks, it cycles through and it
simply says you've been charged. It doesn't say what I've
been charged. I'm like, okay, well.
Speaker 1 (22:45):
Now we know I never again. I think Celsius says
were like two for three or four dollars.
Speaker 2 (22:51):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (22:53):
The gas station up and ash match the radio station
because I remember I remember looking at it and they
had all the flavors and I realized there were that
many flavors.
Speaker 2 (23:00):
Now yeah, yeah, the sheets are like two for four
fifty or something. Oh so they.
Speaker 1 (23:04):
Charged me, Like yeah, they call them hot hotspots or
something up there in Nashville, whatever the chain is. So yeah, dude,
that thing's got to go.
Speaker 2 (23:13):
I mean, it's not gonna last. Who's gonna do that?
Who's gonna I mean once? Yes, it'll get get everybody once.
And if you have a brain in your head, you're
can look at your bank statement be like never again
ten dollars.
Speaker 1 (23:22):
I guess they're they're counting on no brains or you're
just not going to check on it. Dude. The amount
of people don't I'm the amount of people who don't
check bank statements, it's pretty crazy, man. I remember I
remember seeing somewhere like how often do you rew? Like
I I can't tell you the number of times I
hit the button on the I have US Bank, So
(23:43):
I hit the US Bank ap just for whatever reason,
like if I like if I just did a transaction
and it was a big one and I just want
to make sure that it's like showing up there like
I'm paranoid and hit the button. Let alone a ten
dollars celsius. Was it good though?
Speaker 2 (23:58):
I mean, was it tasty or I mean, yeah, no,
it is fine. It wasn't ten dollars worth.
Speaker 1 (24:04):
What's the kid who does the haha in the Simpsons?
Speaker 3 (24:10):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (24:10):
What's that kid's name?
Speaker 2 (24:12):
He's the bully?
Speaker 1 (24:13):
Right?
Speaker 2 (24:13):
Yeah, yeah, I can't remember.
Speaker 1 (24:15):
All right, that's the new name of the vending machine, Nelson.
It's Nelson, all right, So uh dude, that's that's like,
And you're sure you did everything right.
Speaker 2 (24:35):
There's nothing to do, dode, I trust you take your
drinking and clothes. There's nothing else to do.
Speaker 1 (24:41):
You know what it is? And the AI realized that
the other two members of your family were also thirsty,
and and you didn't buy them anything, so it using AI,
the power of AI just charged you for it, because
that should have been your experience to teach you a lesson.
Speaker 2 (24:58):
Never again, especially like it another one of these machines.
I'm like, no, maybe, like one day, if I'm like
trekking through the desert trying to get to Aguappo's compound
or something, and I started upon when I might consider
it otherwise the.
Speaker 1 (25:11):
Yeah, yeah, oh they don't have food in there, never mind. Yeah,
well at least you'll have Celsius while you're eating your sister.
So yeah, it's good. So much time? It cost you
ten dollars dude, that is brho? The what what is?
What scam is that I got to be careful because
we didn't name the company, but that sounds scammy. So
(25:33):
either one of two things is going on. Ross missed
a step, which I don't believe because I.
Speaker 2 (25:38):
Mean, maybe maybe it gave me a credit, but there's
no way unless it like memorize it, you know, Yeah, whenever.
Speaker 1 (25:45):
I you know, whenever you'd have you'd put the credit
in the old store. Now I understand why the old
store is gone because the management company who owned the
building that was their stores, that was their branded stores,
and they sold the building that we're in. So this
other company. But if they're going to stick ten dollars
Celsius vending machines in here, hell no.
Speaker 2 (26:04):
But even if you know we're going to make this
thing or b on the air, we'll have fun with it.
Maybe after I walked away, the receipt showed up on
the on the screen there. But even if it did
at that point if it had sent ten dollars or
be like, oh, there's there's no way to refund because
now the stupid thing is locked because you need your
card to unlock it. I can't put it back.
Speaker 1 (26:30):
I'm so glad I didn't touch that thing. I was
literally going to go down there after the open house,
even though we had all those fruit food and drinks
and all that, just because I was killing time. Because
that's when I went and looked at the new gym,
because we got to email that.
Speaker 2 (26:43):
You know, you know what it reminds me of. It
reminds me of the first time you're like a young
kid and you go to a hotel and get a minibar. Right,
he opened it up and you're like, look at all
this stuff, and then soon there right, don't touch any
of that.
Speaker 1 (26:53):
Yeah. And in some cases, dude, I tell you, I
was in a hotel and I moved stuff to put
my own stuff there, and they charged me for like
a bunch of rap. That's that's how I learned that
they are also some of them are weighted.
Speaker 2 (27:06):
Yeah, same thing, yep.
Speaker 1 (27:08):
Yeah. And then I got then I bought coke and
a glass harmonica, so somebody will get that reference. Bross,
please tell me you get that reference. I did not,
Mitch Hedberg Man, okay, oh okay, I thought you were
a fan anyway, Ross, a fan of ten dollars Celsius.
That's what we know. Yeah, that thing's bad, dude. We
(27:30):
should put a sign up letting people know we're gonna.
I'm gonna turn activist on this thing. I'd be so mad.
Speaker 3 (27:37):
Dude.
Speaker 1 (27:39):
I'm glad you're zen about it. I I don't know why,
but it's little things like that, Like I remember, I
remember I said that last time I flew with the
American Airlines, they literally gave my seat away, and I
was just zen through the whole thing. Like I can
deal with that one, because flipping out an airport is
how you end up on the news. But like, but
(28:00):
little stuff like that, little slights like that, I don't
know why, it just ah just irritates me.
Speaker 2 (28:05):
I think I've been thinking. I was thinking about this
sort of stuff driving into work today, and I think
because I am pretty sent about it, like I can
laugh at it be like that sucks. I'm not doing
that again. But I think like a lot of the thing,
like I don't know I think like five six years
ago before my sobriety probably would have been like really
pissed off and angry. I'm like, oh, I hate the
world right now. But I think that and like dealing
with my son, like I've learned patience and forgiveness like crazy,
(28:27):
and I'm all right, well I just won't do that again.
I'll just talk about it.
Speaker 1 (28:30):
Yeah, all right, Well we'll just make fun of it
until they change it. Because that is the one upside
that we have in this building. There's a bunch of
people listen within them.
Speaker 2 (28:40):
Well, I mean I'll use my experience to warn others,
so maybe you won't get here.
Speaker 1 (28:44):
Well that's what that's what I'm saying. We have a bunch,
you know, we have a bunch of people that work
at various companies within the building that listen, and we
did you know how much money we just save them? Yeah,
I mean you had to take it in the teeth,
but we helped out. So that's what we're here. I mean,
it's very helpful.
Speaker 2 (28:58):
Sometimes it's negative for you can be a positive for
somebody else. Like it's like a you know, it's a
learning experience, so I can pass that along.
Speaker 1 (29:06):
Absolutely, that mm hmm. All right, Oh, I promise i'd
play the levit audio, So let me go ahead and
do this in its entirety. Again, this is this is
the question we were all anticipating yesterday. How can you
say that the Epstein client list, which again is not
just a it's not a spreadsheet. Nobody expects it to be,
(29:29):
but it should be a spreadsheet, I should say this.
It's not a spreadsheet that he put together. Probably he's
probably smarter than that, but rather it is a culmination
of all the data that you have to identify people
who interact with him in ways that may or may
you know, may or likely are criminal, and then you
(29:52):
investigate from there. And I refuse to believe there's zero
paper trail when the guy's got a gazillion cameras and
we live in the digital modern age, So how do
you now claim that there's not? And then how do
you show a video? Although I saw some people are
taking the video apart because the door they see and
the door from the footage where they put the tape
(30:15):
across it or not the same. And I saw everyone
spread this on the internet, and I saw it and
I initially was like, that is interesting. So I looked,
and within thirty seconds I was able to determine the
door that's in your line of sight is not the door.
It's under the camera there, kind of off to the side,
So it's a it is a hallway shop, but not
(30:36):
one directly on the door. So if you see that understanding,
that doesn't mean it's not the same door because you
can't see the damn door anyway. So Levitt is asked
about it by mister Doocy from Fox News yesterday, and
I'll just play the entirety of the exchange. Here we go.
Speaker 4 (30:50):
Yep, Yeah, I looked at the circumstances rounding the death
of Jeffrey Epstein. According to the report, this systematic review
revealed no in criminal list. So what happened to the
Epstein client list that the Attorney General said she had
on her desk?
Speaker 5 (31:08):
Well, I think if you go back and look at
what the Attorney General said in that interview which was
on your network on Fox, such a quote.
Speaker 4 (31:14):
Gohan Roberts said, doj maybe releasing the list of Jeffrey
Epstein's clients? Will that really happen? And she said it's
sitting on my desk right now to review.
Speaker 5 (31:23):
Yes, she was saying, the entirety of all of the paperwork,
all of the paper in relation to Jeffrey Epstein's crimes.
That's what the Attorney General was referring to. And I'll
let her speak for that. But again, when it comes
to the FBI and the Department of Justice, they are
more than committed to ensuring that bad people are put
behind bars. They have an operation going on right now
called Summer Heats, which has our murder rate trending in
(31:47):
the lowest direction in United States history. Their emphasis on
violent crime and locking up violent criminals has led to
the arrest of fourteen thousand violent criminals. That's a sixty
two percent increase from the same time period last year.
So this Attorney General and the FBI director are committed
to putting bad people behind bars where they belong. That
they promised an exhaustive review.
Speaker 1 (32:08):
That's what they did.
Speaker 5 (32:09):
For any further details, I would refer you to the
Department of Justice.
Speaker 1 (32:15):
Yesterday on this show, on this show, now I may
have had the topic wrong, but I was damn right.
I said, this is the psychic show, I said, and
we play acted this damn thing. I said. Somebody will
ask somebody about the thing and then they'll pivot, probably
to the dead Little Girls in Texas. I was wrong.
(32:36):
They went with the fourteen thousand you know, criminal masterminds.
By the way, Ross probably whoever's vending machine that is
should go on that list, right, So so I was right,
we were right. That's why you come here.
Speaker 2 (32:53):
And just to clarify, we're playing the Girls Gone Wild
theme music from the nineties and early two thousands because
we don't have Miss Cleo music. So it's the closest
I know there was.
Speaker 1 (33:02):
I'm not sure, but it works because it's got the
Caribbean news right right, right, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, thank you.
There's not there's not drunk nineteen year olds flashing us
in the studio right now, although that would be a
good Friday if maybe one of the gentlemen's clubs wants
to do an endorsement.
Speaker 2 (33:24):
There are though there's two of them, and there's double
they're double fisting Celsius Is now they're financially ruined.
Speaker 1 (33:29):
Oh well, they clearly don't make good decisions anyway, So
it's just another in a long line of bad decisions
that one day when they're thirty and they're on the internet, forever, which,
by the way, that's that is kind of interesting to
think about, considering how long that thing ran, that girls
gone wild. The number of women now probably have three
(33:51):
kids in a professional career who are on the internet
covered in beads and nothing else. This is where we are. Anyway,
that's a happy thought. Let's go ahead and take a break.
We'll be right back. Really see what's going on with that.
We'll start. That's for pollen season, that's not for now.
(34:12):
Don't do that, we should do it. Dave Ramsey segment ross,
do you need to be spending ten dollars per celsius
each morning?
Speaker 2 (34:21):
I don't think I do.
Speaker 1 (34:22):
Okay, all right, good, good, good good, all right, put
some money away.
Speaker 2 (34:26):
I remember how I check did, and that fee has
been now changed to four dollars four.
Speaker 1 (34:30):
Five, okay, all right? So and this is all right.
So this was the theory. Couple people sent that it
was an authorization, which doesn't that doesn't make sense to
me to do a ten dollars authorization on a vending machine, correct,
Because here's the thing, uh, and I've been there, you've
probably been there. Where the difference between four to twenty
(34:51):
five in your account and ten dollars is a real thing,
right when you're young, or it's.
Speaker 2 (34:56):
Not like I really can tragging it at the moment.
But I'm just saying, like, if it was, I don't
want to spend ten on a Celsius because it's dumb.
Speaker 1 (35:03):
Right, four twenty five is still a pretty good get,
Like you're not losing money on that thing. But people
thought it might have been an authorization, which is crazy
because I've never seen of any machine doing all.
Speaker 2 (35:14):
That's crazy. Like if I check into a hotel or something,
I get that, you know what I mean. They're like,
if I'm like a rental car, sure, yeah, drink.
Speaker 1 (35:23):
I'll argue with them on the authorization.
Speaker 2 (35:25):
At a hotel too, they're paying for the AI men,
it's expensive.
Speaker 1 (35:29):
If they're gonna be always ask I'm all right, what
are you authorizing for? And if it's anything, it depends
how long I'm staying. But if it's like when I
go over to Greensboro, they probably hate me over there,
but because I asked, But there's like fifty dollars, all right, whatever,
I'll probably spend that in the little restaurant thing there
if I'm there for a few nights. But like I remember.
(35:50):
I remember I was going to check into a hotel
one time, and I'm like, what do you guys authorized?
Because here's the deal, And I know this sounds crazy.
I haven't really talked about this. I try. I have
a credit card. I don't. I don't think I've used
it except I use it like once per month. I
don't like credit cards. I don't like I don't like
credit I like paying for stuff. Now, there's some things
(36:14):
where it's unavoidable, obviously, and I'm not here to be
Dave Ramsey on all this stuff, but I just don't
like using credit cards. I have one because if I
have to rent a car, it's yeah, it's it's a nightmare.
Otherwise there's there's a couple other instances, but I really
don't use it. Don't use it, and it's got and
(36:35):
it's it literally, I don't. I don't think I owe
anything on it right now. I think I just it
auto drafted, like the eighteen dollars whatever I owed. And
then I use it for airport club access. So I
do pay an annual fee on it, but whatever worth
it to me for them for those for those handful
of things. So and I'm checking into a hotel. I
always ask because chances are I'm just gonna throw my
(36:56):
debit card down, which people will tell you stupid, but
I don't want to deal with it. And that, to
Ross's point, that's where you expect to get pre authorized
for something. I would have never expecting to pre authorize
for a stupid drinking of any machine. But I am
glad that it changed to that. So because ten dollars
thing was that was crazy. But you know the problem
(37:19):
is is you're getting taxed for criminals. That's what's happening there, man,
I mean think about it. Oh no, completely, yeah, well,
because it's it's it's it's still a kind of an
honor system. Once you get that door open, so can
you put money in it?
Speaker 2 (37:35):
I know again, it scans your card, then it unlocks.
Speaker 1 (37:40):
That's it. It's card only, no cash. That's the other thing.
Many machines that are no cave. I love spending cash
for stuff. I'm weird. I guess all right, let me
grab a call here real quick, Chris. What's going on?
Speaker 3 (37:51):
Hey, Casey, Hey, I mean that steam thing man. Pam
Bondy said that she wanted to get through everything because
they wanted to protect all them, all the victims, and
that they were a substantial amount. Why don't they think
I just build their own list by talking to the victims.
Speaker 1 (38:09):
Well we uh, you know, ironically, and the one girl
just died. But like we we do have a list
if you go by what the victims have said in interviews.
The former New Mexico governor, who's the attorneys always on
Fox that dude, Prince Prince said, Prince Albert, Prince Andrew, right, like,
(38:31):
so we have we have a bit of a list
if you go by what they said. But you know,
you can't adjudicate like that, You just can't.
Speaker 3 (38:41):
So I don't know, it just seems weird that just
the timing of everything, and then you know, and it's
like they were tricking us along all the way until
the one person that was so vocal about it passes
away and then all of a sudden, all of the
cases closed.
Speaker 1 (38:58):
Yeah, man, there's there's there's no good here. And uh
And I got to tell you, it has really sapped
any confidence that I have, not all of it, but
it is a huge strike against me trusting what's coming
out of the AG's office, let alone kind of the
White House. So because again people think that this is uh,
(39:18):
you know, this is some loyalist thing. Look, there were
hosts yesterday on the on the right wing host who
didn't cover the Epstein thing, and I'm gonna I'm here
to tell you if if you, if you have a
host who decided to ignore that story, then that you
you probably can't count on that person to give you
(39:39):
the totality of what's going on. They made a business
decision and one that probably got them access or something
along those lines. It's crazy to me. You should be
mad as hell, and all you weirdos on Twitter mad
at me for being mad about it. Uh, pound sand
don't care. So anyway, I'm glad. I'm glad you're frustrating
trying to think of solutions, Chris, because I've been racking
(40:01):
my brain on this and sadly, man, I just I
think this thing's done. I think it's done. And that's
that is absolute tragedy, absolute tragedy. All right.
Speaker 2 (40:12):
Just to clarify, though, So what Levitt was saying yesterday
is like BONDI got the file from whoever she got
the file from, right, and then she's like, ah, we
got the file. We're gonna go through and we're gonna,
you know, we're gonna release the list. We're gonna look
at the list and the file.
Speaker 1 (40:25):
Keep in mind all these statements that you're you're you're saying,
which are accurate. We're statements that were made post Binder party.
Speaker 2 (40:32):
I'm right, right, So they give it.
Speaker 1 (40:33):
The Southern District of New York has been withholding this,
blah blah blah. Now we got it. It's on my desk.
This is She said that in an interview after the
Southern District of New York reportedly quote turned over the files.
Speaker 2 (40:45):
Right, so the files on her desk for a while.
Then what they're saying is she sat down at the
desk one day and I'm go do the work now.
And she opened it up and she went, but did
there ain't no files in here? You these are buy one,
get one for Carabas or whatever it is.
Speaker 1 (40:57):
You're like, what is this? This isn't what we're like,
Oh now we got agger in her face. Why did
you just throw Carabas into a child sex right, Well,
apparently there's no evidence of a child sex ring. There's
nothing in the file. Right, Well, I don't know. Giz
Lane's in jail. So I feel like this was all
meant to attack Carabas once again.
Speaker 2 (41:15):
So are they saying that Gizlane Maxwell she was guilty
of what she did, and she trafficked children just to
Jeffrey Epstein, but then he d and herself and herself,
But there was no one else after that in the
chain of custody corect so it just ended with Jeffrey
and then he killed himself. So case dismissed, well, not hers,
(41:37):
but yeah, the other ones. And there wasn't a video
for years until they realized she opened the folder and
then she said, oh there's this isn't a list. I
thought it was a list. Now I look stupid. There's
a little flash driving there. Yeah, yeah, and then they
found a video.
Speaker 1 (41:50):
Mm yeah, okay, why is that so hard for you
to believe? Oh dude, you pay ten dollars for a Celsius.
I don't trust anything you said. That's still not that
much better. Seven fourteen. Hang on, Susan, good morning, what's
going on?
Speaker 7 (42:08):
Heay, casey fellow wyoming night.
Speaker 1 (42:10):
Here and uh hold on, I got to ask where.
Speaker 7 (42:15):
On the other side of the mountain. Of course, the
Great Count of Grable.
Speaker 8 (42:19):
Which is better than Sheridan.
Speaker 1 (42:21):
Yeah, better than Thermopolis too, so I'll give you that.
Speaker 7 (42:24):
Oh god, yo, yeah, it's it's a whelming thing. I
pay cash whenever I can too, So yeah.
Speaker 1 (42:31):
There was a lot of places that didn't take credit too.
If you go, uh like if you go to Story,
you go to Big Horn, the main store there didn't
even take credit cards for when I was a kid.
Speaker 7 (42:41):
So oh yeah, that's true, true too.
Speaker 1 (42:45):
I don't know. I want to see you guys want
to see a Wyoming trick.
Speaker 3 (42:47):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (42:48):
And Susan knows what's up? Susan, I hope you know
what's up. No, you will one hundred percent. Susan is
a number nine.
Speaker 7 (42:57):
Yes, yes, and Sheridan a number three.
Speaker 8 (43:01):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (43:01):
Correct. I'm from Buffalo, so I'm a number sixteen. So
if you ever got if you ever see a Wyoman
license plate, if you ever see a Wyoman license plate,
well I'm from between Buffalo and Sheriffan, Tecla. We're in
Johnson County. If you see a woman license plate, there'll
be a number and it'll be from one to twenty three,
and that tells you which county that plate's from. And
(43:21):
so you always know roughly where somebody's from and I
don't know if there's other seats to do it that way,
but Wyoming does.
Speaker 7 (43:28):
So oh yeah, I mean the people people in Big
One County, you know, we don't like the people on
the other side of that mountain.
Speaker 9 (43:35):
You know.
Speaker 1 (43:36):
Well, I know we have.
Speaker 7 (43:39):
Shell Falls. What do you have? Yeah, I mean shell Falls?
You know we have that.
Speaker 1 (43:44):
So well they have Red Gray Road and yeah, so anyway, right,
so bond in our mutual hatred. But on the paying
cash thing, it gets harder to do. I was, do
you know the jet the Jet Blue terminal at JFK Airport,
there's not nobody takes cash in there, the whole terminal.
(44:05):
Nobody takes cash.
Speaker 10 (44:08):
I know.
Speaker 7 (44:08):
I mean trying to fly from from here to Wyoming,
and you obviously know it costs. I'm in a leg
and you know, you've got a couple of hours laid
over in Denver or something, you know, so and you're like, hey,
can I get this, you know?
Speaker 1 (44:24):
But anyway, yeah, go ahead, real quick.
Speaker 7 (44:28):
Yeah, I just I just I just wanted to say,
I gotta get going, but I just wanted to say
I found you on the radio, and when I heard
you from the other side, of the Mountain. I was like, yes,
it's another Wyoming night.
Speaker 1 (44:39):
Yeah, where do you live in North Carolina? Are you on?
Are you streaming from Wyoming?
Speaker 7 (44:43):
No, I'm I'm I'm in Greensboro right now. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (44:46):
Okay, all right, well there you go. There's two of us.
There's three rights because there's another caller that's from Wyoming sometimes.
So okay, okay, yeah you too. Yeah, look at that.
You just heard from half the state of Wyoming on
one phone calls. All right, it's like a half mill
it was. Actually it's getting up by six hundred thousand
(45:07):
because all of it probably Californians. Ugh, I'm picking, but
not really. All right, check this out. A woman in
her fifties is believed to have lost her arm when
a lion maldered at an Australian zoo. Now I know
what you're thinking of this lunatic jump in. No, No,
apparently she goes to the zoo so much they let
her like go into the lion enclosure with them. I'm sorry,
(45:32):
is that a thing? And I want to point out
this isn't like India or China, where it's some you know,
there's some insane element too. It's Australia. I'm gonna assume
the safety protocols are pretty similar. Yeah, the incident unfolded
around eight twenty am yesterday morning. I'm assuming that's awesie time.
(45:54):
When a woman, a quote longtime visitor, watched zoo keepers
carry for the lions. And again, by this part of
the story, I'm still like, well, how'd she get eaten?
Don't they have Like, what do you mean she watched them?
So apparently she has. She has quote a much love
member of our families, is the statement from the zoo,
(46:17):
and was up close watching zookeepers work in the carnivore precinct.
So apparently if you go to the zoo enough and
you know somebody, they'll let you come down in there
when they're working on the big cats, which they did,
although I suspect they won't do that anymore. They said.
She was also well versed in safety protocols around dangerous animals,
(46:42):
but inexplicably, I don't think you can use the term
inexplicably when you're dealing with a large carnivorre man. One
animal grabbed her by an arm and she caused severe damage. Yeah,
so that's insane. I didn't realize that they'll let random
zoo get never ran it's Australia. Come into the middle
(47:02):
of the tiger or the lion enclosure. Oh you've been
coming for twenty Yeah, come on in, man, that's fine.
Absolutely here. You would have pet the big kiddy. I
mean maybe if they had the thing like you know,
tranked on like you know where they're doing some sort
of medical procedure. But yeah, I can't believe they have
(47:25):
to write this. Uh, the animal will not be euthanized. Good,
why would it be for being a lion? That's what
That's what people are paying to see. I'm just impressed
you have one. It's not like the zoo that tricks
Rossen to thinking that there's polar bears here, can never
(47:46):
find them.
Speaker 2 (47:47):
No, it's on the next floor, man, that's.
Speaker 1 (47:49):
Why they That's why it has three floors. By the way,
that's way too many floors for a polar bear. Do
you know any polar bears in the wild that have
a three floor condo? No, you don't, not a one.
They're out there outside. It's cold, there's seals around or something.
Speaker 11 (48:04):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (48:05):
Occasionally, some dumb caribou hunter or an Eskimo of some sort.
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (48:09):
That's why they would give you the three floors. So
you're in the first floor and you're like, hey, I
brought my kid to see the polar Bear. Where is
the Like, oh, buddy, you just missed. It's on the
second floor. And you go down the second floor and
you're like, I paid money, they see the polar Bear.
Speaker 1 (48:20):
Where's it?
Speaker 2 (48:20):
Like, oh, you was just here, but he went down
to the third floor. Then you go down there and
your kids like, oh my god, I can't wait to
see the polar Bear.
Speaker 1 (48:26):
You know.
Speaker 2 (48:27):
Now we're in the third floor. Ah, you just missed
them back to the second floor, and that just it
goes and repeat forever because there's really no polar Bear.
Speaker 1 (48:33):
It's a great scam. It's like charging four to twenty
five for Celsius, but ten dollars first. So so I
probably sued by their company. Oh wait, hold on, some
Wyomi haters here, so explain to me. If Cheyenne's plate
number two, how is sheharton plate number three. It makes
no sense because the plates, which I believe emanated from
(48:53):
the nineteen sixties, were based on county population. So Cheyenne
had the second most should be Laramie County. Don't ask
me why because Laramie's next door and then Sheridan had
the third most? Are we tracking? And that means Casper
(49:13):
had the first most? So that's what that means. Yeah,
but agreeably, it doesn't track because like Johnson County being
sixteen isn't the case anymore because Buffalo's bigger. So a
rapper who I'm sure you're all a big fan of
what's his nickname or what's his name?
Speaker 2 (49:30):
Four extra.
Speaker 1 (49:34):
The number four and then X the letter X, and
then tra So just in case you're wondering how we're
demolishing the English language on this one. So four extra
is down two fingers after he apparently blew part of
his hand off jacking around with fireworks over the fourth. Well, one,
(49:56):
you should change your name to two extra. That would
be my recommendation to really hone in on this. Actually
we can come up with a better name than that. Ross.
I think he needs a new rap name. What was
your rap name? Again? It's something ATM or something.
Speaker 2 (50:11):
It was a stolen ATM machine falling on your head.
Speaker 1 (50:14):
Ah, that is your head. No, it was face right,
It was a fall on you. No, I thought it
was your head. Oh, I mean we're going back like
ten years, so yeah, it's man, the music never dies.
So yeah, so we got to get this guy a
better name, man, because now you've got a thing, right,
(50:36):
you gotta you gotta hook. You got a thing about you,
right the eminem's you're like, you know, the thing is
he's a white dude, right, and then obviously that worked
out at ice Cube right straight out of Compton. That
was his thing. Now going into the break, ye West
loves Hitler. Anyway, what going into the break, the audio
wasn't on the button Barber. During the commercial break, I
(50:57):
put on some of his video that he made oh
before the incident. Now I did have to cut it
out because it was twenty three seconds long and every
other word was the N words. So what I put
up was the final three second I'm not kidding. What
I put up was the final four seconds. This is no, no, no,
he's not. This is why I didn't send it to
you or didn't ask you. So I didn't specifically pull
the clip because it's it's it's four seconds that he
(51:20):
was able to extract from this. The clip is four seconds.
Let's hear how two of four extra whatever, let's let's
hear how this is going. Or brew somebody up today
with the beat? Yeah, no, that that is real. He
actually said he's blowing somebody up today, and he delivered.
He did right, a man of his word. That's what's important.
(51:43):
If you say you're gonna do something, you better go
and do it.
Speaker 2 (51:46):
Boss up or brew somebody up today with the beat.
Speaker 1 (51:50):
It was me.
Speaker 2 (51:51):
It was me the one that blew up.
Speaker 7 (51:54):
Herd.
Speaker 1 (51:56):
Hey man. A lot of times these guys lay it out.
They're like, oh, I'm a cut, I'm gonna I'm gonna
roll up on you or whatever. The I'm so white,
I'm gonna roll up and then there's no rolling up. Right.
So this guy's like, we're gonna blow somebody up, and
he did. So.
Speaker 2 (52:12):
I think the kids today are saying that regulators mount up.
I think that's what they say.
Speaker 1 (52:17):
That's the kid is say in fact, yes, yes, yes, yes, so.
Speaker 3 (52:24):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (52:24):
We got this dude for for being honest, bro and
like delivering on what you said. We're gonna help find
you a new rap name. Okay, I will do this
for you. There's so many good I just thought of one,
but it's so offensive, I can't say it on the air.
So figure out how to whittle that down. So anyhow,
(52:48):
we'll we'll figure it out. So uh, a little side
project for us here on the show. All right, let
me get over to this, because what the former transportation ministers.
So this dude's not a nobody, right, so you know,
think of the dot secretary. That's who we're talking about here.
(53:11):
But for Russia. Former Russian Transport minister Roman Starovoid was
fired yesterday by Vladimir Putin and then immediately committed suicide.
I guess so now he did not fall out of
a window. I just want to be abundantly clear. According
to Russian media, he shot himself at his home in
(53:36):
Moscow right after being dismissed by Putin. Apparently he was
in his car in the driveway or something, you know,
because that's where you shoot yourself. Apparently. Let's see here
Putin's decree announcing his termination, which I guess he meant
(54:00):
had in all sense of the word I was published
and gave no reason for the dismissal, who for the
man who had only been serving for a year, though
some some suspected there might be a little uh shenanigans
going on financially with some projects near the Ukraine border, which,
(54:20):
by the way, would be a great place to skim
money because then he just keep blowing it up, right,
It's like, ah, no, we need more money. So AnyWho, Yep,
totally totally shot himself in his driveway. Absolutely one. Do
you think Putin's wise to the window thing now? And
so he's like, now we gotta mix it up. Boys.
Speaker 2 (54:40):
No, that's why this story confused me. I was like,
did he fall out of a window onto his tunder bullet?
Speaker 1 (54:45):
Right right? Yeah, Now that's a that's a good question.
I don't know, man, But no, he did not, So
just sitting in his driveway just totally shot himself right
there after Putin thought he was stealing from them. I'll
let you figure out what may have happened all on
(55:05):
your own, all right, let me let me get into this.
We've talked about this on the show over the last
few years. If you don't watch baseball, there's been a
big debate and there have been changes to the ball, right,
and like for a while, what was it two years
ago when they had the basically the home run ball?
(55:28):
Two years ago? I think three years maybe they had
a ball in there for a minute where people were
just crushing it and the pitchers were like, this is
this is wrong and then they ended up backing off
that and then this year it's that stupid bat thing.
So whatever. But apparently it was not the redesign of
(55:52):
the ball, which was then methodically tested by various journalistic
outlets who then pointed out that it has a little
more spring, it's got a little more carry, right, and
they know this stuff when when they're doing it that
that is not the case. The actual reason apparently for
the increased home runs in the Major League climate change.
(56:18):
To repeat, the climate change is causing increased home runs
in Major League Baseball games? Is there anything it can't do?
But can we not weaponize this for good? Apparently major
League Baseball players are. Climate Central published a report saying
(56:42):
twenty six of the twenty seven MLB cities have experienced
increased temperatures during baseball season, and as a result, they
also notice that there's during baseball season there's increased home runs,
which I'm going, well, what do you mean increased home
run versus not baseball season? But they mean year over year.
In twenty in the twenty tens, MLB experienced a forty
(57:03):
six percent increase in home runs, higher than the forty
four percent spike from the steroid era of the nineteen nineties. Yeah, yeah,
do you know do you know why that is? Going
back to this, Well, one, you have two very outsized
years from that ball, those balls, right, But also people
(57:23):
put a premium on hitting and not doing the transactional baseball,
like the small ball as they call it. That's just
how teams play. Ross is a Yankees fan, and they
might be the worst abuser of the Everybody swinging for
the fences all the time? Is that fair? I think
you guys, probably the Yankees for a good period of
(57:45):
that everyone was just like, all right, go hit a
home run. Nobody was looking to bunt, nobody.
Speaker 2 (57:50):
I mean, I mean, to be fair, There's a reason
they call it the short portrait.
Speaker 1 (57:53):
Right, yes, and and and so, But I don't think so.
Do you think the only reason that that giant I'm
thinking which giant on the Do you think the only
reason the Yanks are hitting home runs is because climate change?
Or do you think it's because they employ seven foot
tall goliaths? Swing a small stick?
Speaker 2 (58:15):
Right? Because you have like eighteen foot tall Aaron Judge
with a bat right where they had to like adjust
the strike zone because the pictures didn't know how to
pitch to them. Right BLUs.
Speaker 1 (58:26):
Now they got this this bat, this weird bat thing
they like. So yeah, I I just are you guys
out of stuff? What is climate change?
Speaker 3 (58:37):
Wait?
Speaker 1 (58:38):
You say, is climate change? Why my gin my golf
handicap went up. I thought it was me not playing
enough or hitting enough balls on the range and just
jumping right in the cart with a sixer. I thought
that was the thing. This is great. I didn't realize
it was climate change that caused me to shank it
to the left, which is never a thing that I've done,
but this year is now a thing. I was going
(59:01):
to lose a drive. It was always to the right.
Now goes to the left and it goes further out
of bounds. I don't know what I'm doing climate change?
Thank god? I thought I was just lining up or
getting fatter. Seven forty five. Let's get ray stage it
from the weather channel. No, see, I can't figure it out.
(59:22):
I've always I'm not a good golfer, but I always
lose the balls to the right. Now I'm losing my
left off.
Speaker 11 (59:27):
That's what happens the physical videos.
Speaker 1 (59:31):
They've explained it to me, and I I think I
understand it, but I can't stop myself.
Speaker 11 (59:37):
So it goes move to a cooler climate maybe climates, right.
Speaker 1 (59:40):
So that's that's to the right right, get us everywhere?
Nothing we could do, all right? So I dude, I've
actually thought you weren't going to be here yesterday because
I just assume with all the incidity, well that was
it's just gonna be you on that tiny desk at
three in the morning helping people on TV.
Speaker 11 (59:59):
What's no, I don't know. Yeah, I ended up good
bed or indifferent, missing a lot of the action, being
off Friday and Monday and just trying to keep up
with it all. And you know, what happened with Chantal
kind of took a second fiddle to what happened in Texas.
And now we're still starting to see some high rivers,
creeks and streams they are coming down. There's still some
(01:00:20):
minor flooding in parts of eastern North Carolina, but everything
trying to get back to normal. The problem is there's
more rain and thunderstorms of the forecast every day for
the rest of the week, with today being the lowest chance,
so we'll have the highest temperatures mid nineties, and for
most of the triangle and just west we do have
a heat advisory. The heat index could be close to
(01:00:41):
one oh five, so maybe one of the hotter days
when you factor in that humidity that we've had, unless
you get one or two of these showers thunderstorms that
may develop this afternoon through this evening, so instead of
like ninety five, you might get to like ninety two,
it will only feel closer to one hundred. And then
the rain chances going up. Tomorrow we're close to ninety
heated next still close to one hundred, but the rain
(01:01:03):
chants a lot better tomorrow, scattered showers thunderstorms even into
Thursday and Friday. By Thursday Friday, there is a chance,
a slate chance we'll get back to a flood risk,
especially in some of the area's hardest hit by Chantal
around Chapel Hill. You know, saw a lot of video
coming out of there over the weekend, and areas that
had flash flooding from the heavy rain could see some
(01:01:24):
more flooding. I don't think to that extent, but with
the ground saturated, the rivers and the crease and streams
already running high. If they don't subside back to normal,
we may see that flood risk increase just a bit.
Speaker 1 (01:01:35):
Okay, I can't believe we let a strip or do
this to us. So well, it's the way it goes. Yeah,
we're quickly to the sea storm. So you know, things
that start off pretty quiet the tropics. Now we're already
past the sea storm and right now the rest of
the tropical Atlantic quiet. We're starting to get toward those
busier months late July, August, September, October, so keep an
(01:01:56):
eye on all that too. Bersday call it the Weather
Channel super Bowl. So right right, yeah, all right, thank
you sir, appreciate it. There you go, seven forty seven
here on the KCO Day radio program. Uh coming up,
let's see here all we gotta get. Yeah, we're gonna
touch on the the Nerd. We'll give you like a
pre nerd news and I want to share it with you.
(01:02:16):
And then on Thursday we'll dig into Stephen on these
stories because there's a couple doozies man and an update
on one of these online lunatics who just had had
seize upon what happened in Texas so that she can
make a political point. And it's not going well. So
we'll find out about that coming up next CaCO Day
(01:02:39):
radio program. What is going on with people?
Speaker 3 (01:02:45):
Man?
Speaker 1 (01:02:47):
So it Keem Jefferies posted a photo essay I'm gonna
send Ross a link to this. Just saw this stupidity.
Uh why do I have to type nine letters to
get the Ross's thing? Why I would h because literally
I only email very few people. Jeffries, there, you go
(01:03:11):
so much on the air, we should do off the air.
Speaker 3 (01:03:14):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (01:03:14):
So he posted a photo of him in front of
a park patch up in New York somewhere as Baby
Central Park. I don't know, and it's people are people
are claiming that he photoshopped himself into the bench. I
don't think that's the case. I think he's standing in
front of it. I think and this is the most
(01:03:36):
like tween girl thing ever. I think he he made
himself thinner. Ross, I eyeball this thing when you get
in your inbox. I think that that's because whenever I've
seen pictures where women have altered it and they're getting
like some celebrities altered it and they've tried to thin themselves.
(01:03:58):
It has that It makes like whenever they're standing in
front of kind of plunged backwards because you've essentially you've
you've stretched it, you know what I'm saying. So it
looks so keem Jefferies. Did he like did he do
the the Instagram girl filter thing?
Speaker 2 (01:04:16):
There's like an Instagram filter or he's just tucking it in.
Speaker 1 (01:04:21):
Yeah, they don't have wavy benches like that.
Speaker 2 (01:04:25):
I don't even know. It's the bench. Yeah, yeah, that's
what I'm saying. That's the Yeah, look at the shadow
to the shadow on the bench is even correct, it's weird.
Speaker 1 (01:04:32):
Yeah, so clearly he clearly, but it's a filter or
you just you just stretch, you know, pulled him in.
That's clearly what he did. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:04:42):
No, if it wasn't for the bendy bench, I would
have assumed he was just like sucking it in for
the pitch.
Speaker 1 (01:04:47):
Yeah you know, no, no, no, no, he he thinned himself.
What do you what do you observed? What do you
what do you a high school girl?
Speaker 2 (01:04:54):
What are you doing?
Speaker 1 (01:04:58):
You're the senate minority leader or choose me the house
minority leader.
Speaker 11 (01:05:01):
Bro?
Speaker 1 (01:05:02):
What's going on? And you still gotta. I hate photos
more than anyone can fathom. I don't think I've ever
used a filter. I think the only time i've ever
there's ever been a photo where I'm in it, where
I've ever used any any feature, let alone downloadable filters.
But just the features that are native on the iPhone
(01:05:22):
is if like it's dark and I want to brighten
the photo, you know what I'm saying, so you can
see what's going on, or maybe a red eye thing.
Speaker 2 (01:05:30):
Yeah, no, I've done that. It's like the uh it's
the sort of like the color like it makes it brighter,
like it makes it pop right, Yeah, yeah, Ran it's
called vibrant or whatever on your iPhone. It's like the
first one.
Speaker 1 (01:05:40):
Yeah yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:05:41):
I've never used like a filter that like changes your
appearance like an You.
Speaker 1 (01:05:46):
Tell me you've never used a filter to make yourself
look like a OnlyFans girl with down syndrome. So you
can make two hundred thousand have not.
Speaker 2 (01:05:54):
Oh wow, Okay, I wouldn't even know how to like
is that like a snapchat thing? Like I don't even
I know, I don't know how many I work. I
don't even know how to get like a filter to change.
Speaker 1 (01:06:04):
My parents would think if I used Instagram, I would
have run across them, but I don't.
Speaker 2 (01:06:08):
So it's like don't so it's like a pre built
in thing for Instagram.
Speaker 1 (01:06:12):
I think that they have their own, but I think
you can doubt you can add them on. I don't
know if it's like Giffy maybe and uh I at
least contenders for the dumbest people in North Carolina. It's
tough though, because you know, the legislature exists. So Uh. Anyway,
I was just why I'm not going to torture you
(01:06:34):
with this video. I'm just super annoyed because it's all
on this gen Z stuff and I don't believe these
chicks for a moment. You have these three sisters, they
they're down and they're down to Beaufort actually at Moon Rakers,
which is very nice, uh, very nice. Uh waterfront place
to eat there, I guess, and uh I have not
(01:06:54):
eaten there myself, but just looking at what is the
focus of this story, uh, it looks like the menus
probably something I would enjoy. Although let me tell you,
and I'm not saying this just because I did that
event down there. The restaurant, especially for like brunch and
breakfast at the Beaufort Hotel there. Amazing. Just throw it
(01:07:21):
right out there for you. It was super good. Like
I was getting free food as part of the thing,
and I still went ate over at the restaurant because
I had I had breakfast one day. I mean, this
is amazing. I got to try dinner. It was pretty good.
So anyway back to this, So they're over there and
they said, there's three of them. They're all gen Z
and I and I guess they get a little kid
(01:07:42):
with them too. So they sit down, they order, and
then the bill comes and it's one hundred and sixty dollars.
So here's what they ordered for one hundred and sixty dollars.
Trust me, this will all make sense in a moment.
So they ordered according to the receipt. Here they ordered
two New York twelve ounce strip steaks, a baby kale
(01:08:06):
caesar salad with grilled chicken, and then a kid's grilled
cheese and a sprite so kid one of the sisters
ate the salad, and then the other two both had
twelve ounce New York strip steaks. Total price one hundred
and thirty bucks. Frost. Does that sound unreasonable for two
good steaks, protein filled salad, and a kid's meal.
Speaker 2 (01:08:28):
How much was it?
Speaker 1 (01:08:29):
One hundred and thirty bucks.
Speaker 2 (01:08:30):
That's pretty good.
Speaker 1 (01:08:31):
Yeah, I mean ten years ago jaw dropping, but that's
not bad. So they decided that they were upset because
they feel as though they the menu did not it
was mislabeled. So they decided, well, you know what should
do now? You make a video whining about it. And
in the video they claim that they expected the bill
(01:08:54):
to be thirty dollars because on the menu it had
indicated that the steaks were marked down, which didn't make
any sense to me until I looked at the menu
and after the stake as well as the lobster and
the oysters, it says MKT ross. Do you know what
(01:09:15):
MKT stands for on a menu?
Speaker 2 (01:09:17):
I honestly do not.
Speaker 1 (01:09:18):
Oh. It means market price.
Speaker 2 (01:09:20):
And even if I read that, I wouldn't know what
that meant.
Speaker 1 (01:09:22):
Okay, but you'd ask, right, I would, Yes, you wouldn't
just assume it means marked down right now? Yes, it
means market price A lot of times when it comes
to especially seafood you see, especially lobster, it just means,
you know, whatever the market price you should always ask,
I will tell you.
Speaker 2 (01:09:38):
So if I saw it and they were like, sir,
that means the market price, I would then be like, well,
what what's the market price?
Speaker 1 (01:09:43):
And they would tell you. They'll tell you. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
I've asked before.
Speaker 2 (01:09:47):
I had.
Speaker 1 (01:09:47):
I had a Tomahawk t bone here not long ago,
and it was a special and it was listed a
market price, and I just asked and it was like,
only ten dollars more than the other one, and it
was two ounces.
Speaker 2 (01:10:00):
Give me that that price you gave me too, Like, obviously,
if I'm making that meal for myself at home, it
should be much lower. But if we were going out
to like a nice steak restaurant, right.
Speaker 1 (01:10:09):
Yeah, it's like a nice place where they cook, they
do a good job.
Speaker 2 (01:10:12):
Right, I would assume the cost would be that much.
Speaker 1 (01:10:14):
Yes, So these girls like, now it's thirty do shu
only be thirty dollars? What are you talking about? You
know the price of your kid's grilled cheese is ten
dollars right today for grilled cheese, fries and a drink
for a kid. But you thought you think the state
because then you have the salad. To shut up and
(01:10:34):
in the video they claim that that is gen Z.
This is the part thats gon to irritate you that
for gen Z diners, MKT on a menu means marked down?
Where where I eat out a lot? Where is this? Bs?
That's not a thing. Frankly, the city of Beaufort should
(01:10:56):
throw you out of there. Your may you're you're you're
lowering the average IQ down there. Now I've marked down
what is this? That one spot in the meat aisle
with the orange labels? I mean, what are you talking about?
I've no no menu has ever been like, oh uh yeah,
marked down. No, that's what i'm KT stands for. And
(01:11:20):
these are not. I just would point out these are
not like fifteen year old girls. These are grown women.
These are adults. Right, one of us packing a kid?
How that happened? She probably doesn't know, right, like A yeah,
the youngest of the want to film the video is
twenty and the other the other two are older sisters.
(01:11:44):
Oh that's what gen Z says that it means ives no,
stop it now, I dude, I hope this is just
some extent tongue in cheek. But I don't know, man.
But what's crazy is not her posting the video right,
that's crazy in and of itself. It's the it's the
responses that's where that's where the real heinous things going on. Right.
(01:12:09):
They posted a video which might be a little bit
of trolling, although I don't think it is.
Speaker 3 (01:12:14):
But like.
Speaker 1 (01:12:16):
You got all these people going, yeah, you know that
ain't right, and then they're like, we're gonna go, We're
gonna go down vote their rating to some restaurants serving
steak dinners to people. And then you have these lunatics
that are all geared up on hating the rich, and
they just assume, hey, if you have a steak restaurant,
you must be rich. Never mind that you know, margins
(01:12:38):
on restaurants are tiny. So now you're gonna go, You're
gonna go screw with their Yelp review. We are so
broken in the way that we fight.
Speaker 2 (01:12:49):
Just choose where you're going, man, you gotta know where
you're going. Like you're going to like a nice sit
down restaurant.
Speaker 1 (01:12:54):
You look at the menu if you're going to a
restaurant before online, I do.
Speaker 2 (01:12:57):
Yeah. Yeah, it's weird, huh. We rarely go out anyway
because it's hard to take Lincoln places. Sure, we tend
to take our food to go. But I mean, if
they're looking for like a good meal, right, that's that's
with steak, Like you don't have to go to a
nice sit down restaurant.
Speaker 1 (01:13:11):
What do you call?
Speaker 2 (01:13:11):
Texas Roadhouse is amazing and it's super cheap down there.
Speaker 1 (01:13:15):
Yeah out back. The steaks at Outback are good too,
you go there, but yeah, the Texas Texas Roadhouse feels
like stealing.
Speaker 2 (01:13:23):
Oh my god, it does. We just had it again
last night. We have at least like once a month
and it's so good.
Speaker 1 (01:13:27):
What's your go to?
Speaker 2 (01:13:29):
They have this this at least the one in wake Forest.
I don't know it's like a national thing, but they
have like once a month they have a special where
you can get like a family meal and it's like
six pork chops or something like two things of mashed
potatoes and like and and a salad and everything in
the corn. And it's like thirty bucks.
Speaker 1 (01:13:47):
And it's what once a week or once a month.
Speaker 2 (01:13:49):
It's a drive up. You drive up get the family
meal and it's incredible. It's like such a good deal.
Speaker 1 (01:13:53):
Is it always on like the seventh or something or.
Speaker 2 (01:13:56):
I think it's in the beginning of the month. Okay,
I think it's like forty dollars the most, but I'm
telling you it's like six giant pork chops, it's so good.
Or you can get hicks. Yeah yeah, dude, So I
don't know what they're you know, stop complaining. Just find
something that you can afford.
Speaker 1 (01:14:11):
Or you're in a tourist area too, right, right exactly,
Like you know, when we went to tweet See, I
wasn't sitting back going, oh my god, look how expensive
all this food because you realized it's like you're at
the airport.
Speaker 2 (01:14:21):
You're like a tourist trap there, right, like you're gonna
charge more man.
Speaker 1 (01:14:24):
When I was posting the Tweetsy hate photo, when I
was doing my little trip up there, so I could,
you know, kick him in the ribs, I pull over
the gas station right across the street from tweet See
to get that photo, and then I realized the station
vehicle needed gas and it's like twenty cents work for
gas there because it's right across from tweet See. That's
how they get you, right. But then I remember that
I had a gas card, so I filled her on up.
(01:14:47):
But I'm kidding, I did it boon, But like yeah, yeah,
you get like proximity matters.
Speaker 2 (01:14:53):
No, you see that even locally, like down the street right,
you have what is the golf club that used to
go to. I don't know if you still go there,
but there's a gas he's gonna cross the street from it,
and gas there is super more expensive than everywhere else.
Speaker 1 (01:15:03):
Because do you know why. I can tell you why,
because there's rich people at the country club. Now he's
talking about North Rich country Club. And the reason that
the guy across the street has more expensive gases because
he doesn't have ethanol in any of his fuel. So
car guys know that there that is ethanol lists no
ethanol in the fuel. None, there's no corn in any
(01:15:24):
of the fuel. It's one pure dead dinosaur or whatever.
So that's why he charges so much more there.
Speaker 2 (01:15:31):
See, I just assumed it was rich people pulling out
on their BMW's and they're like, I don't care.
Speaker 1 (01:15:35):
Well, no, it is for rich people, which you know,
you've got like fancy cars who think the corn is
gonna gonna break it. But that's why, Yeah, that's kind
of his thing. I mean, he's set up across from
the country club for a reason.
Speaker 2 (01:15:45):
So yeah, and it's super smart.
Speaker 1 (01:15:48):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah. And and you know what,
everybody I know is into cars goes and gets gas
from that guy. So he also he also is a
member over at the club, so he's apparently making a
good amount of money on it. I guess it would be
my point. So anyway, all right, eight sixteen Kcoday Radio program,
Hang on some lunatics mad one hundred thirty dollars for
(01:16:11):
two blankety blank New York strips and a blankety blank
salad is highway robbery, Get out of Raleigh. And these
blank blank want to be high end restaurants. You'll find cheaper,
high quality Ribbis. If you don't. If you don't like it,
don't eat there. I don't act like it's a deal.
Nobody said it was a deal, sir.
Speaker 2 (01:16:28):
No, but you should expect that if you're going to
a nice, sit down steak restaurant, like I said myself.
Speaker 1 (01:16:32):
Let alone one that's on a waterfront in a tourist town.
Speaker 2 (01:16:35):
Yeah, exactly, like your invitation or whatever. Like my family,
we would not go there because I would consider that expensive.
We like Texas Roadhouse and it's amazing. There's yeah, there's
nothing wrong with that.
Speaker 1 (01:16:44):
And there's also great little places that make especially dude, dude,
there's some great little the one between Sparta and Glade
Valley and I can't remember the name of it. They
have steak and eggs like every other place does. The
steak's legit, it's really they cook it well and then
you get a couple of running eggs over. It's amazing.
It's like eighteen dollars or whatever for that, you know
(01:17:05):
that and the coffee and everything for one meal. For
one meal, dude, put your listening ears on. I'm just
saying that it's not unexpected that would be one hundred
and thirty dollars for those items. You forgot the kid's meal,
but that was ten at a waterfront hotel in a
tourist town that considers itself fine dining. Okay, sorry, I'm sorry, Ross,
(01:17:30):
What were you going to say?
Speaker 2 (01:17:31):
No, I mean, it's exactly it. You've got to know
what your location is, where you're going. I mean, if
I'm going like a to like a Ruth Chris or
Ruth's Chris or have you pronounced it, I wouldn't know
because I don't go there, right, I would expect to
pay more money than like a Texas roadhouse a lot
of money.
Speaker 1 (01:17:45):
Let me help our emailer out. You sound like a hipster.
You realize that, right, and nobody likes hipsters. If you
think there's an amazing place for steak, the proper thing
would be like, oh, one hundred and thirty dollars, man,
I don't pay that, I pay this, and here's where
I go. That would be useful. And you can even
tell me don't say it on the radio because I
don't want a bunch of people come here. That'd be fine.
(01:18:06):
You just want to share it with me, but don't
send me your angry email because you don't understand how
pricing works in coastal North Carolina. Dude, have you have
you stepped into one of these higher end tourist traps.
That's what they charge. But these girls acting like it
was going to be thirty dollars. That's the lunacy here. Man.
Speaker 2 (01:18:29):
When we were in Blown Rock, people, we're tight when
we're right. When we were in Blowing Rock, we got
like a tourist.
Speaker 1 (01:18:34):
Area, well blowing don't.
Speaker 2 (01:18:36):
Yeah, we got like four tacos and like you know,
kids meal for Lincoln and it was like fifty dollars.
Speaker 1 (01:18:41):
Yeah, for there's a there's an amazing restaurant outside a
Blowing Rock called Gamekeeper. Bring your wallet. But and but
the menu we they do have, they'll you know, they'll
have beef on there and it's a chicken dish is
like what did I have last time? I think we
had a say, ampler and like this appetizer sampler and
(01:19:04):
then the main courses and it was like Emu wild boar.
It was so good, Like the chef there's killing it man.
And the location's great because it's on School's Mill Road,
so it's yeah, you know, it's a few miles outside
Blowing Rock, but you ain't walking like cocktails are like
twenty two dollars. That's a that's a once a year
if I can treat man, and you know, and and
(01:19:27):
and I'll be honest, I can afford to eat at
those restaurants, probably more so than other people because I look,
I don't have I don't have a bunch of kids, right,
it's just me so but still still, you know where
you're going. And I made a conscious decision to go
to that restaurant. I've brought friends there before and they're like,
this is amazing, but it's not a practical thing, just
(01:19:48):
like eating steak dinner in coastal North Carolina one of
these places. Probably not something you're doing every day, but
you'd have to be alloned to not know it's going
to cost more than thirty dollars. That's the point that
I'm making. So anyway, all right, we're not gonna let
that guy get to me. Let's get to this calls.
We got folks holding and John, you're up first, go ahead.
Speaker 10 (01:20:12):
Uh yeah, so your wrapper name that obviously uh bleuw
off his fingers. He went from four extra and now
we can call him two less.
Speaker 3 (01:20:21):
I would be willing.
Speaker 10 (01:20:23):
Or if you want to stick with the four extra,
if you just be four extra, put him minus on
him in two behind it. If he wants to keep
the original name, let's think you too.
Speaker 1 (01:20:30):
I thought too extra work because if you consider them extra,
then you don't need them, right, So that's true.
Speaker 10 (01:20:36):
And if the evolf game, if you're pulling it left,
if you've been shrinking it right, but you're pulling it
left now, chances are you're just gripping it too hard.
You just imagine that you're holding a tub of twoth faste.
Speaker 1 (01:20:45):
Everyone tells me that. Everyone tells me that, and the
problem is, uh heat right, I feel like the club's
gonna come flying out of my hand, and so I like,
if it's really hot, I have to double glove. Man Like,
it's a problem.
Speaker 10 (01:20:58):
That's fine if the club. So, maybe your ball will
go with it, maybe it'll go straight, but at least, uh,
at least you'll be hitting it straight.
Speaker 1 (01:21:06):
Yeah, I have a Traditionally driving has not really been
much of my issue. I've got a pretty good and
it's like left to right and just a nice little
maybe like fifteen fifteen yard movement. Uh, and now it's
just just looney tunes to the left. I don't know.
I think the driver's broken, sir. I think they gave
me a bumper.
Speaker 10 (01:21:24):
Could be your shaft, Yeah, it could be the staff
on the driver check it.
Speaker 1 (01:21:26):
Yeah, I'm gonna blame everything but me. So thank you
for helping.
Speaker 10 (01:21:29):
Twenty four nine nine for your Texas Righthouse Porkhops?
Speaker 1 (01:21:33):
Was the twenty? Is that?
Speaker 11 (01:21:34):
What the for the family deal?
Speaker 1 (01:21:36):
Yep?
Speaker 10 (01:21:36):
Family deal? Yeah, you get to choose between chicken old.
Speaker 1 (01:21:40):
You're on the air, sir, what do you wanna? What
do you want to talk about?
Speaker 8 (01:21:43):
I was just Gonna. I was commenting to Ross about
how how always the Disney y'all were talking about the
three chicks there and in Beaufort and at Disney it
was it was like eleven dollars for a cup of beer.
Super expensive. They should have expected that.
Speaker 1 (01:22:03):
Yeah, you know, I mean, I don't care if you
go to a nice steakhouse in uh let me not
pick on anybody, but if you went to if you
went to a nice there's a couple of nice restaurants
in Pittsburgh where I could, I would just assume that
three people and a kid, if they ordered steaks, would
walk out with more than one hundred dollars bill. So
let's not pretend that it's just a coastal thing. But yeah,
(01:22:23):
Disney's that on steroids for sure.
Speaker 8 (01:22:26):
Oh yeah, absolutely. But you know, to your point, if
the kids kneal, the girl cheese is ten bucks and
the salad's ten bucks, that leave ten dollars where they
think they're steaks were five dollars apiece.
Speaker 1 (01:22:39):
Yeah, yeah, I did. It doesn't math And and again
I'm i one. If they actually believe that, then God
help them. But even if they're not there. Karens Well,
the well I don't. I don't know. They actually seem nice.
They just didn't see she didn't seem that smart. But
again maybe maybe it's all an act. The problem for
me was the comments where people are now like, well
(01:23:01):
let's and now we're going to weaponize it. We're going
to go trash the reviews on yop. Those people weren't
joking and this is like, this is what we've become.
Speaker 8 (01:23:09):
Me I had, and that is sad messing with somebody's
livelihood or something like that.
Speaker 1 (01:23:15):
So yeah, and that's a seasonal you know, Beaufort, it's
a seasonal place too, and I wonder if they ate
during the fishing tournament too.
Speaker 8 (01:23:22):
Yeah, well you know what that's that would crack you in,
I would imagine.
Speaker 1 (01:23:26):
So yeah, absolutely please all right, well I appreciate it, sir,
Thank you very much. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (01:23:34):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:23:35):
Disney is uh. I I've literally I've still never been
to Disney World. Ross has gone there quite a few times.
But I see those videos that I don't know. There
was a trend here like a month ago where people
like what I spent in one day at Disney, And
I watched a couple of those, and now I'm never
going I don't care if I if I end up
(01:23:56):
like the von Trapps, right, so even you.
Speaker 2 (01:23:59):
Know, even when we did go, because it's been a
while now, right like before COVID. Uh, we would budget
it like we would figure it out, like we don't
stay on property because it's so expensive. We would airbnb
a house and it be like, you know, so much cheaper,
like five hundred dollars for a week you know, to
spend there, oh yeah, as opposed to like a night.
And then we would bring our own lunches, you know,
we we would we would bring our own snacks because
(01:24:20):
it's so expensive.
Speaker 1 (01:24:21):
Yeah, you can't. There's nothing you can do about the tickets.
Those are gonna be what they are, right and unless
you know somebody although she doesn't work at the station
we need her to work at anymore. But yeah, yeah,
but you know the reality, the reality is, you know
a little bit of research, So I didn't really so
you budgeted like a micro retirement huh.
Speaker 2 (01:24:40):
No, Mark, He's like super good at this stuff, man,
like really really good.
Speaker 3 (01:24:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:24:45):
I remember, I remember you sell me pictures of that
townhouse you guys are staying in. So yeah, that's the
way to do it, man, Absolutely Jake, what's going on?
Speaker 9 (01:24:55):
Yeah, to reiterate going to Disney, I went to the
Blue Bayou, which upper scale restaurant in Goosey, and uh,
it's right on the waterfront of the Pirates of Kerry.
Speaker 10 (01:25:05):
Bean, right, And it was seventy dollars for two appetizers
and a large place at spaghetti for my wife, kid
and myself.
Speaker 1 (01:25:14):
Do you at least get to is there a show
with it or something?
Speaker 9 (01:25:18):
Yeah, it's it's real quiet.
Speaker 1 (01:25:19):
It's real dark.
Speaker 9 (01:25:20):
It's getting like over stimulated.
Speaker 10 (01:25:22):
It's quiet. It's dark.
Speaker 1 (01:25:25):
Is it like it didn't want like a dinner theater things?
I know some of those are like that, or is
it just a restaurant?
Speaker 10 (01:25:31):
This one was literally just on the waterfront of the ride.
Speaker 1 (01:25:34):
You could watch people go.
Speaker 9 (01:25:35):
By and the ride and it's a really comfortable place
to cool down and everything else like that.
Speaker 10 (01:25:40):
So that's why it's like like it's.
Speaker 8 (01:25:42):
The premiere real estate was in Disneyland.
Speaker 10 (01:25:45):
For fresh Drops.
Speaker 1 (01:25:46):
Well now you ruined it, sir. Now you told everybody
all across uh, the Triad and the Triangle, and next
time you go, it's, uh, it's gonna be like, yeah,
at least the least thing you should get to watch
somebody get eaten by gator or something from that. Well
all right, all right, well I'll take your dark humor.
(01:26:14):
I'm the one I started it. At least get to
watch somebody get eaten by a gator seventy dollars for appetizers.
I'm sorry, I want to see something happen, man, anything really?
All right? Uh yeah, I got time for this. Let's
go ahead and do this. Uh So we're gonna get
into more of this coming up with Stephen Kent on Thursday,
(01:26:35):
who we are now one convinced as a CIA operative
who also does radio from time to time, because Ross
just told me he's gonna be calling from where. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:26:45):
No, So this morning I'm sending him stuff for his
Thursday phone hit, like.
Speaker 1 (01:26:49):
You know, yeah story, putting the prep to that.
Speaker 3 (01:26:51):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:26:52):
So I typically send them to him like Wednesday night,
so we can read them and digest him, you know,
for the for his hit on Thursday mornings. Right, So
I send him this morning, like five o'clock in the morning.
I'm sending him some stuff and he gets back to
me right away, which is not normal, and he's like, oh,
this is going to be great. The time zone is
actually going to be beneficial to me, and like where
are you now? Like where are you this time?
Speaker 1 (01:27:10):
And he said he was recently in Poland. He said
he was in Kentucky.
Speaker 2 (01:27:14):
Southeast Southeast Asia. He's always somewhere, right, and so I'm
like where are you And he's like, well, I'm in
Austria this week.
Speaker 1 (01:27:21):
I'm like, dude, nobody but spies go to Austria.
Speaker 2 (01:27:24):
I sent him the gift of you know, of the
scope going over Matt Damon's head where they are. Oh
my god, it's Jason Bourne. I just wrote back, Oh
my god, it's Stephen Kent. And I tell you he's
not beating the allegations at this point.
Speaker 1 (01:27:36):
No, no, no, no, there's no there's no reason to
go to Vienna. Might be Vienna is like probably one
of the most expensive cities in Europe too. So well,
I told him to wear pay one hundred and thirty
dollars for a steak, don't go there. I told him
to wear his nasty mustard colored turtleneck for his phone hit,
so he'll be dressed appropriately. Yeah. Yeah, Well he failed
(01:27:59):
to that Star Trek thing he paid a gazillion dollars
for with the cape, so he owes it to us.
All right, so a couple of things we're gonna be
talking about. One I've been on them. I'm like Ross,
the New Superman. I'm always nervous now with anything with
Hollywood and anything that I like. That being said, a
lot of people were pretty confident in that this New
(01:28:23):
Superman it wasn't gonna be all woke, and they liked
the director and the guy playing Superman looked good in
the trailer, so maybe it was gonna be good, and
and and then I saw this. Ross brought this to
my attention yesterday James Gunn talking about the New Superman
and what it's really about, because of course everyone's got
(01:28:44):
a even people have nothing to do with the movie
will be like, well, what it is is the story?
What was it where this happened the other day? And
somebody was like, well, it's really a story of the
battle between the right and the left, and blah blah blah,
and some many in the movies like now.
Speaker 2 (01:28:58):
It's just a movie because here's this movie, the.
Speaker 1 (01:29:01):
New Sinners movie. Okay, so I watched that, by the way,
and here's here's what I tell right, And I'm gonna
I'm gonna actually change a little of what I said yesterday.
So I watched the New Centers. It's it's on HBO.
It loaded up on Saturday, was Rain and whatever. Watch them.
So there is a lot of references to racism in
(01:29:23):
the movie, but you have to understand the movie takes
place in nineteen twenties Mississippi, and it's got Michael B.
Jordan and his cousin or whatever, and are are kind
of the two main characters, and then they have a
third they have a third cousin or now they're brothers,
and then they have a cousin. And so they're trying
to open a juke joint, right, a blues joint, and
(01:29:49):
there's scenes like where a white woman tries to come
in there and they're like, no, you can't come in
here because if you do, the Klan will come get us.
And I think maybe that's what people are thinking's woke,
but that's that actually fits the timeline right, and there
is there is a clan part of it in there,
but nothing seems out of nineteen It doesn't seem out
(01:30:11):
of place in nineteen twenties. And I wouldn't say they
dwell on it. The only thing that kind of got
me is it where I think there was a little
preachy is if they were intending to go for an
analogy that the vampires are white people and then white
people are vampiric the but I don't know if that's
what they were going for. As far as just a
(01:30:32):
good vampire action flat, it's pretty good. It's pretty good.
Unfortunately though with Superman, which we thought was just going
to be Superman, I don't know after listening to this
interview with James Gunn.
Speaker 6 (01:30:44):
Is exactly what the movie is about.
Speaker 1 (01:30:47):
I think that like or shawangun excuse me, Seawan Gunn,
I said, James Gunn, uh.
Speaker 2 (01:30:51):
You no, no, no, James Gunn said the same thing. But
they're interviewing his brother, who is out with him in
certain movies like yeah he works, Shawn gun was on
the Red carpet. That's what the audio is, Okay, all right,
So then I'll tell you what James Gunn said here
in a moment, right here's Sean.
Speaker 6 (01:31:05):
Gunn is exactly what the movie is about. I think that, like,
we support our people, you know, we love our immigrants,
we love yes Superman is an immigrant, and yes, the
people know that we support in this country are immigrants
and if you don't like that, then you're not American.
Speaker 1 (01:31:29):
Okay, all right, so there you go. So James Gunn,
in a piece that was done by the Times of London,
essentially echoed that, or I guess started that, because then
they asked James or Sean about it. He said that
it's the story of America. Superman. I mean, Superman is
the story of America, an immigrant that came from other
places and populated the country. But for me, it is
(01:31:49):
mostly a story that says basic human kindness is of
value and something we have lost. So I don't know
how much they're going to lean into this thing with that,
But what do you doing now? I suspect the reporter
kind of goaded him with some of the questions, because
you know how these reporters ask questions nowadays. But but
(01:32:11):
can you imagine if all of the illegal immigrants that
they're rounding up right now had superpowers? How badly that
would be going. That thought just permeated my brain, like
you just be like, nah, we're good.
Speaker 2 (01:32:24):
You'd have to have a wall made out of kryptonite
or something, right, Yeah, you have to kryptonite everything.
Speaker 1 (01:32:29):
Man, kryptomize, tactical gear, kryptonite firearms, kryptonite everything. Man, the
only way you're getting that done. How much would it
cost to build a kryptonite wall? I don't even know.
Oh crap, look at the clock here. I raced agent
for the weathersdam.
Speaker 11 (01:32:44):
Sorry, well you're it's fine. There's soliloquy, just just going
a little long there, right, Yeah. I like to see it,
believe or not. Just watch A Man of Steel the
other day. I like that.
Speaker 1 (01:32:54):
Yeah, I just look, I just pretty got stuff and
enjoy it. And you know what, some of it is too.
I think that there's been so much of this stuff
that has been intentionally included to be political that it
makes me overthink a lot of things. I think I
overthought Sinners when I.
Speaker 11 (01:33:09):
Was right to Ross yesterday. You just wanted to check
that out?
Speaker 1 (01:33:13):
Go watch it.
Speaker 2 (01:33:14):
The funny thing is, like everything I've been hearing is
that this movie is not woke, and that's not what
it is. But then they get in the red carpet
and it's like they sabotage the whole thing, right, you
know what I mean? Like, what are you doing?
Speaker 11 (01:33:23):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (01:33:24):
Yeah, I don't know. You In thirty seconds because I rand.
Speaker 11 (01:33:28):
Yeah hot today he did de seize one hundred and
five triangles. Not maybe not quite as hot triad, but
still hot enough. Everybody's between ninety and ninety five. Rain
chants decent today, but much better Wednesday through the rest
of the week. Could be some localized flooding with stronger
storms Wednesday through Thursday and Friday Tomorrow. Is still hot,
close to ninety heat index close to where over one
(01:33:49):
hundred depending on where you are, will come down into
the eighties with the better rain chances later in the week.
Speaker 1 (01:33:54):
Okay, all right, thank you sir, appreciate it, and we'll
come back with Jeff Bellinger next morning.
Speaker 12 (01:33:58):
A case I report this morning sponsored by Fidelity. A
letters unveiled by President Trump set the teriff rates for
several key trading partners, but the President has postponed the
start of the highest levees and to longest first, and
he suggested he's still open to negotiations and further tweaks
may be coming. Sentiment among the nation's small business owners
(01:34:20):
was slightly more bearish last month than in May. The
Optimism Index from the National Federation of Independent Business ticked
down two tenths percent about a fifth of the business
owner's surveyed said taxes were their biggest issue, and since then,
of course, President Trump has signed off on his fiscal
package that includes tax cuts. The days going through airport
(01:34:41):
security without your shoes are reportedly about to end. Source
to say a Transportation Security Administration policy change will allow
travelers to keep their shoes on. It will likely speed
up the screening process. Critics have long contended the shoe rule,
enacted in the post nine to eleven tightening of airport
security is more security theater than actual security enhancement. Starbucks
(01:35:05):
looking at ways to remove canola oil from items on
its menu. A spokesperson told Bloomberg News. One thing being
considered is making the egg white and roasted pepper bites
without canola oil. And there's other food news.
Speaker 2 (01:35:19):
This morning.
Speaker 12 (01:35:19):
Krispy Kreme is celebrating the DC superheroes Superman, Batman, and
Wonder Woman with a new doughnut collection and the casey
It's Not Just Jaws. Marking the fiftieth anniversary McDonald's served
its first egg McMuffin in nineteen seventy five. To mark
the anniversary, the fast food chain has added three spicy
(01:35:39):
versions of its McMuffin sandwiches to the breakfast menu. McDonald
says they'll be around for limited time only.
Speaker 1 (01:35:46):
Casey, of course, anything that sounds remotely interesting limited time only.
All right, well, thanks for that, appreciate it. Okay, all right,
there you go a bit right angry over breakfast sandwiches. Hey, Ross,
have you heard of the Velvet Sundown. I've not okay,
not to be confused with Velvet Underground or any of that.
This is a newer band called Velvet Sundown, uh, and
(01:36:10):
they have quickly amass quite a following. In fact, let's
see here, they're averaging Uh. Well, they hit the one
million monthly uh listeners on Spotify, which is kind of
that's the that's the plateau for when you're kind of
making it. And I can't I I Dust if you
(01:36:31):
want to go listen to. I can't play their music
because it's probably copyrighted and it's a whole thing, so
I can't do that for you. But it's called Velvet
Sundown and their big hit is Dust on the Wind.
It's not bad. There's a problem though, that just came
to light. Ross. Do you want to guess what the
problem is? Ai, They're not real.
Speaker 2 (01:36:54):
It's ah my god, it's gen Z's Milli Vanilly.
Speaker 1 (01:36:58):
It's but it's not. It's because they're exist decided to
tell people, what do you They don't know who Millivanilli is.
Speaker 2 (01:37:06):
No, but at least our Milli Vanilli. There is people
pretending to be something. They're now the other guy, right,
this doesn't even exist.
Speaker 1 (01:37:12):
Yeah, well hold on. So here's the explanation they gave
when they were explaining it to people. All right, uh
so they have added this now to their ex account.
It says Velvet Sundown is quote is a band a
band that is quote guided by human creative direction and composed, voiced,
and visualized with the support of artificial intelligence. I don't,
(01:37:37):
I don't. I'm not even mad. Honestly, this is so predictable.
Did you ever see the thing where they broke down
country music? Some guy broke it down and they figured
out that there's a tempo that is present in like
I think it was like eighteen of the twenty songs
of the year for this whatever span they were covering,
And you know, it's just it's just something that you know,
(01:37:59):
some consciously registers with people and so people include it.
I don't know what it is. I'm not a music
a musician, but like you're gonna but imagine this like
I can't sing and I could be a famous rock
star kind of. That's that's I mean, this is like,
(01:38:19):
this is Hollywood's nightmare right here.
