Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Was.

Speaker 2 (00:01):
I was assuming that we were going to have around
these parts of the Canes would be one and oher
and for like ninety nine point nine percent of the
match yesterday, that's what it looked like it was gonna be.
And if you're one of those naysayers, you're like, I
don't like hockey or I don't like soccer. You know,

(00:21):
those are the two that tends to get the the grief.
You're like, ah, nobody ever scores anything. That was not
the issue yesterday. What a what a a incredibly back
and forth game one yesterday between the Hurricanes and of

(00:43):
course the the Las Vegas Golden Nights. So Ross, I
know you got the hat. I mean, I'm assuming you
guys did the full Hurricane party last night, kids and
maybe some grilling or it's okay, but like within within

(01:03):
moments of that thing tipping off, Hey, well what was
the first score? Hang on? Hang on, I'm a little
punchy because I stayed up late and then I had
a hard time getting to sleep after. So you're just
gonna have to deal with that. But uh, that's how
that goes. There we go. It SEMs to being weird
this morning. Yeah, so uh you know we we we

(01:28):
bang this thing out. Vegas leads the best of seven
Series one. Oh you had you had a super drama
right up until about four minutes left in the third period.
Unfortunately it went the uh the other way and you
hate to lose one at home. Five four of the

(01:49):
final score yesterday, Thomas Hurdle scored off.

Speaker 3 (01:56):
UH.

Speaker 2 (01:57):
Try to remember who gave the assistants assistance? Yeah, it
was since so they say good match, just not good
in the sense that you know, the hometown team UH
was able to get it done. But that's okay. I
honestly like the biggest problem And I know nothing, right,

(02:21):
I just want to be clear here. I know nothing
about being on the roster of a championship team and
then you know, having to go through the playoff grind
and and and then eventually the finals. I know nothing. However,
these guys have been sitting around doing nothing probably a month.

(02:44):
Due to the fact that they're very good right going
in and and and just you know, ripping through their
their their two previous series. To to get to this
point over a month's time, they you know, they basically
were sitting around for twenty five days. So I don't
know if that impacted it. I don't know. In Vegas

(03:06):
is a good team, don't get me wrong, almost to
the point where it's kind of interesting. I'm not accusing
anybody of anything, but like they haven't even been in
existence ten years. They've been to the Stanley Cup three times,
they've won it once. You just don't see that in
other sports. So, you know, we'll see Carolina captain Jordan

(03:31):
Stall said, it's a tough loss. Got your got of
your game in better shape, and you gotta win those
home matches yet one more and then we'll do, you know,
two for the bad guys, and then we get one,
and then they get one and then we get one.
That's how the uh, that's how the seven breakout. But yeah, man,

(03:56):
very disappointing, very disappointing, and it costs me a bunch
of sleep, and I'm probably a bunch of other people
as well. That's okay. Everyone had a good day except
for Scott Pelly, and I'm okay with that. I have
to be honest. He was never on my radar of

(04:16):
people that I just genuinely dislike. But I am. I
am firmly on the Scott Pelly hate bandwagon. CBS News
has fired sixty Minutes correspondent Scott Pelly after the network
star basically acted like an absolute toddler in a getting

(04:37):
to know you meeting. Hey, get the new boss in there.
New boss, same as the old boss. Whatever you know,
whatever it is, And apparently Pelly reportedly took it on
himself at a meeting to roll a gretnade into the room.

(04:58):
The new executive producer, Nick Bilton, was introducing himself to staff,
and Pelly decided that was the point he was gonna
he was gonna go toe to toe with the dude,

(05:18):
after why are you here? Nobody wants you here, You
have no TV experience. How the hell do you think
you're gonna come in and tell us what to do? Honestly,
the absolute arrogance of it, because Pelly's position was that
sixty minutes had no bias, and as I mentioned yesterday

(05:38):
on the show, sixty minutes largely exist in the modern
day and age due to the most favorable positioning. News
programs are tough anyway, where we used to have a
bunch of them at Dateline, all the different ones that
were out there. Now you're down to sixty minutes and

(06:00):
what sixty minutes thrives upon is football. You watch the
early game, you watch the afterdoon game, and what happens
after the after dooing game on CBS if on the
AFC side, right they finish the game, they go to
some truncated version of sixty minutes, which they've been promoing

(06:22):
throughout the entire second football game. And you don't have
to do anything. You just if you don't, if you
drunkenly leave the channel, there sixty minutes pops on and
you don't change it because there's this you know, there's
that hour and a half gap or whatever it is
before the night game. So if you're in football watching mode,

(06:45):
you've been doing it all day, maybe it's time to
get some food in your belly. I try to sober
up because Monday's coming. You gotta go to work. It
just kind of flows into sixty minutes, and people will
let it flow into sixty minutes and grab whatever they
have to, and then eventually they'll flip over to who
is the night?

Speaker 1 (07:05):
Is it?

Speaker 2 (07:05):
NBC Sunday Night? But Pelly thinks, you know, the whole
world's coming to him. In the meeting, Pelly told Bilden
he had quote slender qualifications for the job, and he
would quote never be welcome here and good on building.

(07:28):
He said, you know what, You're not going to intimidate
me in front of these people. He called an end
to the meeting, said he'd continue it a little later,
and now we have the Pelly decision. And Pelly one
hundred percent like him and Potato are on the same
wavelength Brian Stelter. Stelter said, this is uh, I don't know,

(07:55):
you know, earthquake earthquake level stuff, and I just don't
think it is. I think most people kind of know
who Scott Pelley is, and of course they kind of
know what sixty minutes is just because it's been around
since forever. Remember what sixty minutes was something he tuned into.
I don't know about you, Ross. Did you ever watch

(08:15):
sixty minutes for the Rooney Spot? Andy Rooney? Andy Rooney
was a great spot. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (08:21):
As a kid, I didn't appreciate him because I was like,
who's this grumpy old man? But now I appreciate him.

Speaker 2 (08:26):
Yes, yes, that was the last redeeming quality of sixty minutes.
Was Andy Rooney angry about something?

Speaker 1 (08:35):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (08:35):
And now I was like Yeah, I was like, why
is this guy so angry about stuff? And now I'm
old and I'm like, man, I'm angry about stuff.

Speaker 2 (08:41):
Right, Yeah, it was super relatable and I like, I
understand you can't, you know, keep him alive, but still man.
And then you know, some very very high profile sixty
minutes blunders, dude, the aggressive editing of political interviews, going

(09:04):
back to the Harris Trump race, going back to the
Trump race. Prior to that, would Joe Biden. Joe Biden
couldn't even keep his mouth shut yesterday while his wife's
running around doing the book tour. It's only it's only
because they didn't have a hot mic for him that
I can't play the audio for you, But like, it

(09:26):
was super embarrassing yesterday. I'll share what went down. Also,
coming up eight oh five, we'll chat with Congressman Brad Nott.
That's part of your Wednesday experience there. But let's do
this six sixteen, will take a break, be right back,
CaCO Day Radio program. I was sixty minutes to the

(09:48):
whole George Bush National Guard. I mean that was straight
up the evening news. Wait, hold on Boston, Paul's mad
about something I knew yesterday when you entered the show
saying the Hurricanes were gonna win, I should bet against them,
but I didn't bet at all. Okay, I'm so glad

(10:11):
you maintained self control to not profit off people's misery.
But you do whatever you're gonna do.

Speaker 1 (10:19):
Bro.

Speaker 2 (10:20):
Yeah, I don't want to jink some on here. I
just feel they're a really good team, really good team.
So I just that was the thing.

Speaker 1 (10:32):
Man.

Speaker 2 (10:32):
I'm like, you know what happens when you're just sitting
around for a month, dwindling your thumbs because you're so good,
you kick the crap out of your first two your
first two series. It's rough. So we'll see what happens.
We'll see what happens on Thursday, all right. So California had,

(10:54):
along with a few other places, had a little uh
at their primary yesterday. It looks like Spencer Pratt and
Karen Bass are probably going to be in the runoff
in the actual governor's election, which has been a nightmare
fuel for what's going on there in LA because that

(11:17):
you know, things have been back and forth, back and forth.
So I don't know where that goes, but I do
know it's going to be much You know, it's going
to be very interesting for several more months, a lot
more fun AI stuff and good AAI stuff, not crappy
AI stuff. Do you have that it looks like in
the governor's race, although you never know because California is

(11:41):
one of these weird places where if they want to
take two weeks to count the ballots, they will, even
though none of that makes any sense. But it looks
like it'll probably be the you know, Xavier Bisera and
probably Steve Hilton, which you know is saying something for
California that you're gonna have Republicans in the actual general

(12:03):
election because of how they structure their whole jungle primary,
which clearly came back to buy them. They didn't come
back to buy them to the extent that they thought
it could right where you get two Republicans running for it,
which was like the nightmare fuel thing. But it'd be
very interesting in California going forward, So we don't we

(12:28):
don't have confirmed races on everything, because again they will
tell you it could be up to two weeks before
we get everything. But that's where it's, you know, that's
what it's looking like right now. Who knows, maybe they'll
try to pull some garbage. Of course, we'll be covering
that here on the show. Uh my, uh my, little

(12:52):
uh little project here of watching all of these butt
hurt liberals decide that they're just gonna opt out out
of fourth of July was an amazingly accurate prediction. We
just have story after story after story today of just
that Nantucket cancels Fourth of July celebration and political protest

(13:16):
because of their own whiteness. That's right. The Nantucket Unitarian
Universalists have read the Declaration of Independence and Bill of
Rights inside their church every Fourth of July for the
last three decades, but will not do it this year,

(13:39):
and quote political protest over the Supreme Court's voting rights
ruling and the whiteness of its congregates. That's right. The
people who go and tithe and literally keep things, you know,
keep the lights on, they're the problem. Church's board of

(14:01):
trustees and presiding Reverend Aaron Splain published a letter announcing
the cancelation of the readings just a month before the
two hundred and fiftieth anniversary. The church blamed the revision
on the Supreme Courts quote gutting of the nineteen sixty
five Voting Rights Act and an ongoing process within the

(14:23):
congregation to better understand our own whiteness. Can you imagine
showing up to church you're already you know, you're already
to church it up, and you got to sit there
in a struggle session with whoever your faith leader is
asking you how you feel about your own whiteness. That's

(14:48):
what they're dealing with there, And they're not alone between
the Nantucket Church. I got a story out of Los Angeles.
We have a city in Los Angeles that's also dipping out.
More and more municipalities have just decided that they just
they can't fathom doing this with you know, trumpet office

(15:11):
man to wonder and if a baby gets charged the
full hund row or it's more than a hundred right,
say what one hundred and ten dollars or something for
a day pass? Really it had some like glitch or something.
I don't I don't know what happened, and like all
the lights came on.

Speaker 4 (15:32):
Yeah, what just happened there? What do you mean your
mic was off for like I don't know, like a minute.

Speaker 2 (15:38):
Oh, okay, well that's about There was some little thing
that blasted in my ear and I just assumed maybe
it was something with So that's why I kept trucking. Okay,
well that's wonderful.

Speaker 4 (15:49):
No, I saw you panicking through the window and well
I'm about to go to break and then you pop
back on.

Speaker 2 (15:55):
Okay, all right, yeah, no, no, no, I heard something in
my ear. I just assumed. I honestly, I thought it
was just a rejoin or something. All right, well, that's fine,
we'll look into that anyway. So I just got a
little distracted there. No, I'm just like, can you charge
one hundred dollars for a baby at Disney because the

(16:17):
baby doesn't know where it is? As you pointed out,
the coolest thing about a baby is watching it experience
something for the first time, ever, ever, ever, And I'm
with you there, no, no, no, So going going back
to the going back to some video I saw. So,
I saw a video where apparently they had some major

(16:38):
malfunction on the the Haunted Mansion, and like all the
lights came on and people were filming it because they're like,
it feels very different. Obviously it does, right, Like the
whole premise of it is a haunted mansion. So hopefully
they get they get that worked out. For you is

(17:00):
well but all right, well sorry, a little side story
there and then a little little technical fun ah as
you do on these mornings. Get back over to this.
So I was giving you the laundry list of the
fourth of July stuff for not doing anymore. Karen Bass

(17:20):
has also pulled funds for the valley July fourth parade.
This is Sunland Fourth of July Parade, LA and all
of its enclaves and everything. It's such a weird setup, man,

(17:41):
But the longest running Independence Day parade in the San
Fernando Valley has now been canceled after organizers say the
city of Los Angeles withdrew support. What does the city provide?
They provide traffic control, street closures, you know, the policing
part of it. But the Mayor's office decided we're not

(18:06):
doing this anymore. The parade, which has been going on
for fifty years, was announced canceled yesterday with quote great
sadness by organizers. The event, hosted annually by the Sunland
Tujunga Shadow Hills Rotary Club and Neighborhood Council, is the

(18:27):
community's centerpiece Independence Day celebration, dring marching bands, equestering groups
vintage cars, you know, all the stuff you expect from
a parade, and again this is over. You know, this
is over in the eastern suburbs, and it's a big
damn deal down there. This is this is why I
was pointing out LA is a little weird, only in

(18:47):
the sense that, like some of the individual communities are
really the stakeholders for big events that they do there.
But this is this is the beast, This is the
suburban Los Angeles families. This is the thing they go to,
except this year they're not going to go to. Ironically,

(19:09):
Bass had initially pointed said that her office would you know,
do their annual thing with the event, but apparently has
changed their mind. Now organizers say that they don't have
a realistic opportunity to fundraise and you know, scure sponsors

(19:30):
here with almost literally just a month ago. So we
got that over on MSNBC. They're also feeling the vibes.

Speaker 5 (19:39):
America will mark the two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of
its founding. Like previous anniversaries, there is a deep unease
about this.

Speaker 4 (19:46):
I feel a.

Speaker 2 (19:47):
Deep unease about these celebrations to which I have invited
to mark the two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of our
so called democracy. Oh yeah, of course, all right, so
there's ms now, panelist, we're really going to do this thing?
I mean, I know that every year Fourth of July
I got a wait for the stupid tweets where there's

(20:07):
you know, somebody and it's usually usually it's from a
black actor or comedian. Right, they're like, what's there to celebrate? Man?
Why would we celebrate the country? You know, because slavery? Right,
And and that's been a hallmark of Fourth of July
social media going forward for quite some time. But the

(20:29):
idea that you're going to have a swath of people,
God help us, maybe half the people who think that
they can't even be excited about the two hundred and
fiftieth anniversary of the country. If that's going to be
a thing. I mean it's clearly already a thing, but
it's gonna be something you're gonna get sick of. It'll

(20:49):
be on the panelist. I'm sure the view will go
in on it also being you know, upset over the
whole thing. But yeah, man, they're they're gonna, they're gonna
get into it.

Speaker 4 (21:04):
It's depressing because they should be this huge celebration, and
instead we have you know, people backing out of the
performance because they don't want to be shot by crazy
leftists Marxist communist Democrats or yeah, you know, people that
are like, I'm not participating because boo Trump. And I
kind of agree with Matt Walsh on this. He was
pointing out, you know, this should be a big thing,
and now it's turning into a standard Trump rally, right, yeah.

Speaker 2 (21:27):
Yeah, And and maybe there's some criticism in the way
that Trump's handling the DC thing, but I think what
what is kind of happening is they just assume that
people would show up, they the musicians would play, the
fireworks would be there, the UFC guys would fight, the
racers would raise, and that would be it. And then
as it started getting whittled, you know, whittling down, Trump's like, well,

(21:50):
I'm gonna go speak at it. And here's the thing.
If Trump had come out and speak it, spoke at
the celebration. He's the sitting president.

Speaker 4 (21:59):
Yeah, no, he's should. No, he should, he should. But now,
like you said, it's got the vibe of just a
typical uh, you know Trump are which we've seen. Yes,
I have no problem with it. But we've seen it
a few hundred times and this should be like a
really big deal.

Speaker 2 (22:14):
Yeah, and they're going to claim that, well, this is
what he wanted all along. I don't think this is
what he wanted. Trump wanted. Trump wanted like the like
the Romans wanted back in the days. Rai'sed like, all right,
we're into two hundred days of games, right, everyone's going
to be excited. That's that's what he wanted to do.
And it became it became very clear that they were

(22:35):
going to fight him every step of the way on
this thing.

Speaker 4 (22:38):
Yeah, and it's a big thing to celebrate. I mean,
most constitutions don't last what more than fifteen thirty years,
which is a crazy stat right, And most countries don't
last this long. They really don't. They you know, they
they change in some way. But we've we've been being
able to stay the way we are we are because
the foundation of our constitution. It should be a huge,
ginormous celebration that both sides want to celebrate, but you

(22:58):
can't because one side is in some and you.

Speaker 2 (23:01):
Can even celebrate it your way. That's that's the other thing.
I for a for a small a small part of
me thought what they would do is they would just
bastardize it, all right, two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of slavery,
you know.

Speaker 4 (23:16):
Like they do with the Columbus Day or like you said,
fourteen everything.

Speaker 2 (23:18):
Yeah, everything, But they're just like, we're just not gonna
do it. It's not gonna do it. And and and
I saw some people going, well, two hundred and fifty
is just an arbitrary number. It is, right, every every
number is an arbitrary number, right for for something like this,
But like, good, make it your own, make it your own, kooky,

(23:41):
weird California version of this. I'll probably you know, complain
about it on the show, like, oh, look with these
look at these lunatics are doing out there. But at
least you're doing the thing, man. But now they're just
they're gonna tap out of this thing.

Speaker 4 (23:55):
And I mean not every state has to celebrate it
the same way, or celebrate aspects of it in the
same way, which is why we have different states. They're different.

Speaker 2 (24:02):
Yeah, you know why Wyoming has a very different celebration.
I guess what they're doing. I was kind of getting
some yeah, because I follow you follow a lot of
people on social media that I grew up with, and
they're doing a variety of things, and they're they're doing
more of a Western expansion thing, which is perfect, right.
They weren't a state until the end of the eighteen hundreds.

(24:24):
You know, they're not one of the original thirteen. But
the damn it, dude, if you're if you're one of
the original thirteen, you know, like up in Nantucket there,
and you're just like, yeah, we're not going to do this.
The hell's wrong with you?

Speaker 1 (24:36):
Man?

Speaker 2 (24:37):
I think the Ross I think we have to kick
Massachusetts out.

Speaker 4 (24:42):
I mean I don't want to.

Speaker 2 (24:43):
I don't want to either, but yeah, I don't want
to be harsh here.

Speaker 4 (24:47):
Now, if they do get kicked out, they get kicked
out of other things too, like the National Football.

Speaker 2 (24:51):
League, right well yeah, what does national mean?

Speaker 4 (24:55):
Right?

Speaker 2 (24:55):
Right? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. No. I wouldn't
want that, of course, no, because again, fifty is a
nice arbitrary round number. He'd like to keep that. They
were around, they did some stuff old Boston, mass of Curvis. Yeah,
that was kind of important. I mean, we were both alive.

Speaker 4 (25:13):
Do you remember how big the bi centennial was in
nineteen seventy six. Remember do you remember that that fight,
Remember that fight between the world champ and that guy
from Philly. That was a big deal.

Speaker 2 (25:25):
Man, that was a big fight. Yeah, and he went
and he went the distance he did. Nobody thought he could. No,
nobody thought he could.

Speaker 4 (25:35):
I thought maybe he could when I saw him punching
that meat in that locker room.

Speaker 2 (25:39):
Meat doesn't punch.

Speaker 4 (25:40):
Yeah, but in the South pod too dangerous. Yeah, but
it was a big deal.

Speaker 2 (25:47):
Why are we trying to screw this up? And I
will say I'm actually a little displayed. Like I thought,
North North Korea, please, that's who Massachusetts, by the way,
then gets handed to. You're part of North Korea now,
But like I thought, North Carolina would even go bigger. Right,

(26:09):
you're one, You're one of the originals. You're first in
your first in freedom. I saw it on a license plate.
It's a thing. But uh, for whatever reason, man, this
thing just never really got rolling. And yes, there's gonna
be events and people are gonna do things. And of
course there's a you know this standard fourth or July

(26:29):
events that happen all over the United States, maybe in
the town you're living in right now, But like this
has been a whole thing. Remember when I remember, I'm
losing my mind over Christmas parades here in Raleigh, where
you just had politicians who are just like they like,
they just don't care, just don't care. And I think

(26:52):
there's gonna be a lot of disappointed people when we
get on the other side of this, and then I'll
out of you know, really angry, stuffy people. What is this?
I was a wait, where's Boston? Paul? I was a
teenager for the Bisentennial. You mean the Centennial? You wrote

(27:16):
that wrong. I thought the celebration sucked, maybe because it
was the seventies. The best thing I remember from it
was the tall Ship parade. Yeah, Like, I don't even
see that stuff happening. You guys should trick a bunch
of British tourists into a place and capture them.

Speaker 4 (27:35):
What I don't know, Remember the champ got in there
dressed up like Uncle.

Speaker 2 (27:39):
Sam, you're fixated on this? Huh. We were got a
us we something. We were both there. Man, Oh dude,
you don't want to capture some British people? Do you
know how funny that would be? There's out here doing
tourist stuff right running around trying to find like beans

(27:59):
on toast for breakfast or whatever British people do when
they're here the boom stockades baby Like, there's a lot
of options that we could still roll out. But yeah,
this negative Nancy stuff, man, it's just super depressing. All right,
six forty eight here on the KCO Day radio program,

(28:20):
let me grab a called Jamal. What's up?

Speaker 6 (28:24):
You know what I hear y'all talking about that box,
the box centennial on boxing match. Now, what y'all didn't
notice was they did fight again and the guy was right,
he's all wrong for a champ. He's all wrong for Yep,
he said he was all wrong for him. He knew

(28:44):
it was all wrong for him. And the best part
about it, during the course the by Antinio match, his
wife was a librarian. And who's the very best to
teach a man who couldn't read, who used to be
an enforcer for picking up collection the best thing a
bottom marriage?

Speaker 4 (29:03):
What is she worked at a pet shop?

Speaker 2 (29:06):
Man? What is a librarian?

Speaker 6 (29:09):
I thought she was the library, And all these years
I've been thinking she was a librarian. I don't know
she worked at a pet shop? Okay, well, even better
taught him a love of animal took a man who
was who was picking up collections and taught him the
best way. The way he went out there and fought.

Speaker 2 (29:30):
Can we just do something, man? Can we just do something?
What's going on in your hood? Over there in Durham?
Are they having a parade? Probably not right?

Speaker 6 (29:39):
You know, I am not taking my family nowhere downtown
to game bang shoot him up? Oh my god, they
can't help cutting a Duram.

Speaker 2 (29:53):
No, don't you want to don't you want to feel patriotic?
I don't even know what they got going on over there.
I haven't looked at the schedule.

Speaker 6 (29:58):
So I for what for what for them before for
the most for what the disenfranchised and and still remembering
blood is sunny Jim crow Lord.

Speaker 2 (30:11):
And something at least something like I expect all the
moonback crap jamal like I expect. I just assumed it
would happen and it would be, you know, obnoxious, but
at least at least it would be in keeping with
the season. But no, there's a bunch of people are
just tapping out and say, I were done, We're not
doing this.

Speaker 6 (30:31):
You know what they see? If that would have happened
during Baracco. If Republicans would have returned and this is
where you may disagree me on this, if Republicans would
have done that to Baracco, Obama star counseling the Fourth
of dj July events, everybody would have been crying and
boo hoo, holy b you doing it? Could Obama black Man,

(30:52):
if Bidy, If Republicans would have did it when Bidy
was in office, they would have been saying that just
too much partisanship. Well it is time for Republicans if
they have a Democrat coven and guess what say we
know we're not gonna celebrate and start doing fighting fire
with fire. My family we go to Wilmington whenever we
have the Fourth of July, then we go to the bottleship.
That's why I'm a member of the battleship. People who

(31:16):
celebrate the battleship. We talk to the bottleship and sit
back and watch Wilmington have the most awesome time. You know,
you see people of all races, of all.

Speaker 2 (31:25):
It is back on the little it's a little stabby
down there right now, we'll stabby down in Wilmington.

Speaker 6 (31:33):
Yeah, not on a battleship. That's just that's just an unpart.
As soon as you leave a battleship, you go with
that burger king, that car lot, and you go and
leave in the motel near the day. Then and you
go down the street where you'll see a burger king
or car lots. You make that left, you keep going,
you run into like a cookout. That's the stabby area.

Speaker 2 (31:53):
Okay, all right, yeah, when I'm saying yeah, well, no,
well you're.

Speaker 6 (31:57):
Gonna see that at the battleship the bush.

Speaker 2 (32:00):
Look, at least they're gonna do something. I appreciate that, Jamal,
I gotta, I gotta, I gotta let you go because
I gotta go to break. But all right, all right,
we'll see if we can get the Rocky movie thing going. Yeah,
just do an homage to Rocky. That's fine. At least
that's something. Just anything.

Speaker 4 (32:19):
Man, the librarian. Dude doesn't know his history. A little disappointed.

Speaker 2 (32:26):
Oh, I cannot believe that's how we started the morning.
All right, it is a six fifty three phone number
eight eight eight nine three four seven eight seven four.
You have further proof we're not the country we were.
I'll give you audio next. Hang on the Hurricanes losing
the very first match of the Stanley Cup here, so
little bummer there several of you accusing me of cursing

(32:50):
them by saying that they would win. So thank you
for that that you think we have that level of
power here, all right. So I'm just digesting the actual
letter that got sent to Scott Pelley, who is fired
after he decided to be an absolute child. And I'm

(33:11):
seeing the way that the various news outlets are going
to go ahead and write this thing. Here's the deal
over at sixty minutes. You got a bunch of but
her children, not all of them, not all of them,
but you know, really the higher profile ones, and there
I would say, there's a very good chance sixty minutes

(33:31):
just goes away, goes away, And I kind of feel
that's what they want so that they can sit there
and they can say that Barry Weiss and Nick Bilton,
who is the executive producer that she brought in, can
be blamed for destroying this. But when you look at

(33:53):
the absolute I just want you to put yourself in
this situation. And I'm sure many of you have had
to deal with this. You work company, somebody buys the company,
and now you got a new boss. We've got you
know we've gone through our own ours is a little
it's a little more hyper specific than that which you

(34:14):
know that iheart's been through. But even if you don't
have to go through a purchase, we have reshuffling to
management all the time. Ross how many management reshuffles do
you think you and I have been through? You and
I are the two longest employees in the building, right
like twenty.

Speaker 4 (34:32):
Yeah, yeah, twenty years for me?

Speaker 2 (34:35):
Yeah, I think, what do you? What do you? How
many bosses do you think we've had region when you
get into the upper management cycle forty enough to have
to sit down and think about it. Yeah, yeah, And
what happened? What happens when there's a new boss. Inevitably
they have a big old meeting. They have a big
old meeting. All right, here's what we're gonna do. And

(34:56):
a lot of it's the same, but a lot of
it's like, hey, we're doing things a little different. Here's
what we're going to do, blah blah blah. And you
go to the meeting, and you know, you ask questions,
have you got questions? You try to you try to
figure out. It's not the easiest process, right, You try
to figure out Okay, well, what is the priority of
the new management there? We're always over on news talk.

(35:19):
We always kind of feel like the bastard child anyway,
just because ninety percent of you know, what our company
does is music radio, you know, understandably, so right, we're
just we're one type of format, but talk is such
a different format that you try to figure out, you know,
what's the priority? What are we going to be doing?

(35:41):
And I would say for the most part, the bosses
that we've had have, even if they've been nonchalant about talk,
this kind of let us do our own thing. And
that's because Ross and I produce. Man, we do a
good job for them. We want to keep doing that.
I cannot imagine when that happens, showing up to the meeting,

(36:04):
or not showing up to the meeting, but just having
a damn temper tantrum like you're a kid who didn't
get a candy bar at the grocery store or something.

Speaker 4 (36:15):
But that is.

Speaker 2 (36:15):
Apparently the direction that Pelly decided to go. Here is
the letter that was sent to Pelly by Nick Bilton,
executive producer of sixty minutes. Quote. I meant what I
said in my letter last week to the sixty minutes team.
Joining sixty minutes is the honor of my career, and
I am grateful to be working alongside the people who
have contributed to the most important television journalism brand this

(36:38):
country's ever produced. While I'm new to this, While I'm
new to sixty minutes, I've devoted my career to investigative
journalism and storytelling. I started this job excited to collaborate
and to benefit from the wisdom and experience of sixty
minute veterans, you among them. For that reason, one of
the first things I did in my new role, well

(37:00):
you to talk and invite you to dinner. This is
all perfectly normal stuff, by the way, especially when you're
Scott Pelly right where you're the face of it. And
in the same way that when we have new management,
they're going to deal with sales in a certain way.
They're going to deal with support staff, traffic things like

(37:20):
that in a certain way. But one of the things
that they will generally do if they have an active
interest in the format you're doing, is they want to
talk to the faces. They want to talk to the voices,
I guess would be a better way to say it.
They want to talk to the on air people. Make
sure that you know everyone's everyone's up to speed on

(37:41):
what we're hoping to accomplish. Totally expected. I can't imagine
some new manager coming in. Yeah, you know who's our
our newest managers Drew Right, all right, Drew out of Charlotte.
He's our regional guy.

Speaker 1 (37:56):
Now.

Speaker 2 (37:57):
I can't imagine Drew's like, hey, man, I'm going to
be in town. I want I popping out for the
show and meet with you guys. And then Ross is
just flipping them off through the window and we're not
doing that. That's crazy town. But that's basically what Pelly did. Man,
that's basically what he did. I wanted to call and

(38:19):
talk and invite you to dinner. It is a profound
disappointment that you rejected the overture and chose ambush instead.
So he told him, no, I'm not gonna meet with you.
We're not going to have dinner. Screw you. So he
waited for Bilton's first all staff meeting, which took place
the other day, to launch an assault.

Speaker 4 (38:43):
What an absolute lunatic.

Speaker 2 (38:45):
Let me keep reading yesterday you hijacked my first meeting
with staff to disparage me my qualifications and my intentions
with remarkable incivility and contempt. I welcome a diversity of viewpoints,
a respectful debate of the team, but this was nothing
of the sort yesterday's performative display of hostility enacted in

(39:06):
front of the staff instead of in a civil, private conversation.
That's the other thing too. I bet if Pelly had
gone to this dinner with Bilden and just unloaded all
of you know, whatever horrible thoughts or float around in
his head, they probably wouldn't have fired him. They got
a lot of money wrapped up in the guy. He
does have name recognition. He is part of your brand,

(39:28):
you know. The irony is the things that really set
Pelley off, like the coverage of the prison there in
El Salvador where they made this whole Hey, they're like, oh,
they're trying to stymy us being able to report on it.
There were no editorial changes made to the content that
they wanted to put out. The only thing that changed

(39:52):
in that story is they carved out an additional few
minutes for a more thorough Trump administration response. That was it.
That was the only thing that changed in that story.
So all the hate, all the all the gotcha that
they wanted to do was in there. Scott Pelly got
to do it. They just allowed for more of a response.

(40:13):
That's what That's what these babies are upset over. Uh.
Let's see here. Yeah, bu ba buh ba bah. All right,
here we go. Yesterday's performative display of hostility and acting
in front of the staff instead of in a civil
private conversation, demonstrated you have no interest in contributing to
the future success of the show or approaching my new

(40:36):
tenure with a mind open to collaboration and progress. I'm
here to deliver first in class news programming, not to
make headlines about newsroom drama. I'm eager to work alongside
those who share the goal. Despite yesterday's misconduct, I had
hoped that in sitting down with you today we could

(40:57):
find a path forward. So they then had a meeting.
After the meeting does they're giving them another chance. But
according to the letter, he says, you made clear you're
not interested in such a path. Your antipathy to the

(41:17):
future of the show has come through loud and clear,
and I have heard you. I therefore write on behalf
of CBS News to inform you your employment with CBS
is terminated for cause, effective immediately. It closes your formal
termination letter, and you know they him thrown for cause
in there. That's an expense of two words in most

(41:38):
media contracts. Four cause is a game changer, bro Right,
So like, let's let's say they fired Ross and I,
which you all just assume happens twice a year, three
times a year, whatever it is, Right, there's a very
big difference whether we got fired for cause or didn't
get fired for cause. Financially it's a big deal, man.

(42:03):
So I don't know how that pans out for Pelly here,
but what an absolute child.

Speaker 1 (42:08):
Man.

Speaker 4 (42:08):
When does Pelly get his Peabody Award.

Speaker 2 (42:11):
This year? Easily? Yeah, you'll probably get a Marconi too.
Yeah for Bravey, he's on radio, but give him that,
maybe a Nobel Good.

Speaker 4 (42:21):
And he stood up against fascism.

Speaker 2 (42:24):
Yeah, man, he's he's going to be the guy. And
then the irony, of course is the irony of course
is he's going to be doing a podcast in six months? Yeah?

Speaker 4 (42:35):
Probably, As somebody who's been through this a bunch, what
he should have done. This is what I typically do,
is you show up to the meeting and you wear
all the awards that you've won around your neck, sort
of like flavor flavor in his clocks, right right, and
then you don't bother to learn the boss's name for
at least two years until you know they're not going
to be replaced. I thought Trevor was Tim for the
past two years.

Speaker 2 (42:54):
That's fair, Yeah, that's fair. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (42:56):
I would just Abbravey at my emails. I would say, hey, Tea,
because it wasn't sure it was or Tim it turned
out to be Trevor. Yeah, but I put Tea because
that would have been a one of the t's. Yeah.
But if I just put like Tim and it wasn't Tim,
that would have been like a crucial mistake. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (43:10):
Now, you just why would you learn anyone's name in
this business?

Speaker 4 (43:13):
You got to think ahead.

Speaker 2 (43:15):
So good on you, and yeah, your your colleague's gonna
run around like you. You know, you just cured cancer.
But the reality is that was probably the best gig
you were going to get. It was a great gig.
Remember Pelly Pelly is a failed CBS news host. They tried,

(43:38):
they tried to make him the CBS evening news guy
back in early two thousands or late two thousands, I
want to say, and it just never took. So he
you know, he slid into this niche and he was
basically the main face of sixty minutes, which is a
which is a really good get in this business. And

(44:01):
he decided he would just temper tantrument all the way.
Absolutely amazing. All right, I got some audio for you.
We're gonna let me do this. We're gonna take a break,
we're gonna come back and I'm gonna help the Kamie
use the words that he's not using. But Bernie Sanders man,
he's he's all about the playbook. I got the details

(44:23):
for you. Next here on the CaCO Day radio program.
This is in Brazil. Yeah, yeah, yeah, because the woman
who died. So we just had a story where a
woman she got out of her car up in New
York City, parked and then was like stepping away from
the vehicle in the street and stepped where a manhole

(44:45):
cover should have been, fell down in there and died.
That just happened like two weeks ago. There's a new
video out Roster's texted me which is horrific, which we'll retweet.
So go to at CAC on the radio. Uh yeah,
two weeks. Yeah, so here we go. That was a
fifty six year old Donika go Sac who died from

(45:07):
falling down a manhole in midtown Manhattan. This one's different.
So this is a manhole that's on a sidewalk. It's
in Brazil, and it just you just see, I don't know,
you just see like a normal woman. She's wearing shorts
and a hoodie, she got a backpack on sandals, just
walking to wherever she's walking, steps on this manhole and

(45:29):
it literally, I don't know how to describe it. That's
not I was gonna describe it a certain way. It's
probably not a good way to describe it. It looks
like she's going through a sewer pipe in Mario Brothers.
I don't know how to describe it.

Speaker 4 (45:44):
She steps on it, so it's flat, and then it
flips up vertical, right, so half of the.

Speaker 2 (45:49):
Hole stays in the hole.

Speaker 4 (45:50):
Yeah, it stays in the hole. So she falls down,
but it catches her chin and oh yeah, pops the
chin up and then it closes on her. She falls
down and then just.

Speaker 2 (45:59):
See itself back up like all right, nothing here, totally
not a trap.

Speaker 4 (46:03):
It's like being uppercutted by like the manhole cover.

Speaker 2 (46:08):
Um, let's see, do they I'm assuming they got her. Yeah,
they took her to a nearby hospital, so she didn't die.

Speaker 4 (46:14):
I am shocked she survived that. You watch the video
and you watch how her jaw gets in contact with
that manhole cover and she falls down. It's like like
that could have snapped her neck? Could it takes?

Speaker 2 (46:23):
You want to be in a Brazilian sewer?

Speaker 4 (46:26):
No, I don't, Nope, just saying, man, as.

Speaker 2 (46:30):
Far as sewers go, it's probably not a good one. Sorry,
I'm gonna play this Bernie Sanders audio, I promise. I
just got a little sidetracked there, dude, Bernie Sanders, man,
I even know what's up with this dude. So he's
got himself, He's got himself a new uh, he's got
himself a new plan. Super excited Billy's gonna put forward,
which sounds incredibly like, I don't know, one a violation

(46:52):
of the Constitution, but two kind of like seizing the
means of production. Even if he does make a couple
valid points here.

Speaker 7 (47:00):
There is also a very real fear that as AI
becomes smarter than human beings, it could eventually function independent
of human control, with potentially catastrophic consequences.

Speaker 2 (47:15):
By the way, this has literally been a crux of
the show for the whole show right murder bots AI
murder bots, So welcome to party, Bernie.

Speaker 7 (47:26):
The question is not whether AI will change the world.

Speaker 2 (47:30):
It will.

Speaker 7 (47:31):
The question is who will own and control that future,
who will benefit from it, and who will be hurt
by it. Will AI be used to make life better
for working families, Will it help us eliminate poverty, extend
life expectancies, and help us solve the climate crisis? Or

(47:55):
will the future of humanity be determined by a handful
of billions who have developed AI to become even richer
and more powerful than they.

Speaker 2 (48:06):
Are ross I happened to I was I can't remember
what I was watching yesterday. It was that memorable. Oh
you know what it was. I watched the new Jason
Stathan movie. That's what it was. Oh, is that the
one where he fights the thing under the water? Is
that the movie where he's in the meg the shark one? No? No, no, no,

(48:28):
so uh so you're gonna be shocked at the premise
of this one. You're ready, are you sitting down okay,
all right. So he's living on like a Scottish lighthouse island, right,
just all by himself.

Speaker 4 (48:44):
I'm a lighthouse man.

Speaker 2 (48:46):
Well yeah, but so he's living there, and then there's
this this guy and his daughter who essentially they bring
him supplies, right, but he never interacts with him. And
of course she's curious, because of course, anytime you take
a kid in the movie, you gotta make him as
obnoxious as possible. So she's curious and she won't leave
him alone, and he just wants to be left alone.

(49:08):
And it turns out, and this is the part you
need to be sitting down for. He's actually a retired,
highly trained Tier one assassin. Oh no, oh Ross is
dead man. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah yeah. So so he's
a super badass and and then something happens. I don't

(49:30):
want to give away any of the movie if you
want to watch it. And then something happens, and then
the bad guys find out where he is, and then
the bad guys are also what you thought were the
good guys, and it's the whole thing, and then it's
just Mayhem for two hours and then it's not. And
again I don't want to ruin the movie for you.

(49:50):
It's it's super exactly what you think it is. So
I'm watching that. But they had a pre roll right
because it's on Stars right, ours is n't let you
skip the pre rolls, which I don't understand, and I think,
I think that's where I saw it. They had like
a Minions promo, which is an interesting trailer to run

(50:12):
ahead of adjacent state the movie. But I digress, and
I don't know if they're doing a new Minions or
they're redoing in Minions Vision one of the other ones.
I'm so confused because I just it's not really my thing.
But the thing that stood out to me is that
so it's running it and the Minions are doing all
cute stuff. I have a question, by the way, Ross,

(50:33):
you probably know them a little more about Minions. Why
do some of them have one eye and some have two?
And then that's just normal? Nobody says, yeah, I don't know.

Speaker 4 (50:42):
It was kind of confused by the Minions. I mean,
I like, I respect Grow and everything he's done, but
I am a little l you know, a little suss
of the Minions, but they seem fine.

Speaker 2 (50:52):
Yeah, I know, I'm really smart, but.

Speaker 4 (50:54):
Maybe there's been an origin story that I'm unaware of
because Lincoln never really got like too much into the minions,
like enough to watch them, but not have to like
really like go into the lore get all the swat. Yeah,
so I don't know the one eye versus the two,
I don't.

Speaker 2 (51:05):
Know, Okay, I just honestly, I never really clocked it.
But then I'm like, I just want you have one eye?
You have two eyes? What's going on here? But everyone
just acts like everything's normal. But while they're running, while
the trailers going on, the music behind it is Eminem.
It's that song he released last year called Houdini that

(51:27):
abra Abra cadabra. I'm sure you've heard it. Very catchy song,
and good on him, by the way. He put a
whole album out. Apparently it's a pretty good album. I've
listened to it. I think it's a pretty good album.
But that song went super viral, And I'm just thinking
to myself, if you'd have told me twenty years ago,
twenty five years ago, or whenever, you know, I'm slim shady.

(51:49):
When when when the Marshall Mathers LP and all that
came out that the latest Pixar Kids thing would be
soundtracked by Eminem. I never would have believed you, because
he was he was murdering a woman in a trunk.

Speaker 4 (52:10):
Not Kim is fine, I just.

Speaker 2 (52:15):
Fine. Is she did you see the pictures? Is she alive?

Speaker 4 (52:18):
It's weird because she's sort of morphed into early Eminem,
like you know, my name, my name is Eminem, like
he's now she's now looks like he did then.

Speaker 2 (52:28):
Yes, when he was I was caught up in the
drug habit there.

Speaker 4 (52:32):
So this happens. They get older, they have kids, they
become grandfathers. I'm going to take that you're not familiar
with the Snoop Dogg Doggie Land.

Speaker 2 (52:41):
What is the what is this? I understand Snoop Dogs
all up in the kids stuff. Now I understand.

Speaker 4 (52:46):
I sent you the link. So it's a whole series.
He has of stuffed animals and nursery rhymes and Tony's
and they actually even go on tour with like kid
Bops because Lincoln wanted to go to one, and we
even have the plushes like the Giant. There's a Snoop
Dogg really yeah, and he voices the characters. So if
you buy so it's this purple dog called bow Whizzle.

(53:08):
I think his name is bow Whizzle. And then there's
different ones. Lincoln loves the characters like Paw Patrol. Yeah,
so there's stuffed animal dogs. And so you get the
tony and you put the tony in the tony box.
And what these do is they will read nursery rhymes
and songs. So what the tony with the with the
bow Wizzle or whatever the Doggyland one is. You put
it on there and it's Snoop Dogg reading kids stories

(53:30):
like nursery rhymes. Now you should go back. He was
like he was a crip. Go back in time and
tell that. Tell that to us in like, you know,
the early nineties, that one day this guy on your
TV that's contra.

Speaker 2 (53:43):
Pocket full of rubbers, that's kid. Yeah, and his homeboys
do too. You don't know if you know this, you yes, yeah, yeah, so.

Speaker 4 (53:56):
Yeah, it's okay because his mama ain't home, you know
what I mean?

Speaker 2 (53:59):
Oh, well, well his mom ain't home. Can they party?
Tell how how early.

Speaker 4 (54:04):
In the morning? I would say six in the moon?

Speaker 2 (54:05):
Oh my god, six in the morning.

Speaker 4 (54:07):
But no, go back in time and tell us, like
this guy that you're you're you know all this controversy
that your parents don't like, and they don't even want
you picking up that CD because of what's on the
CD cover right, the it.

Speaker 2 (54:18):
Has the the label, you know, the the warning on there.

Speaker 6 (54:22):
Thing.

Speaker 4 (54:23):
You go back in time and you tell us, one day,
this guy is going to be reading nursery rhymes to
your kids and you're gonna be You're gonna love it.

Speaker 2 (54:29):
And you're going to see the new installment of Minions. Uh,
and it's gonna be soundtracked by Eminem. This is crazy, man,
Just that's where we are. And I don't know. Here's
the deal, man, I I like Eminem, dude. I like
his story.

Speaker 4 (54:48):
Use like Eminem his inspiring dude, like when I I'm
not gonna like when I got sober, like when I
started going on that journey. His song like well I'm
not afraid right that song, Yeah, I listened to that
on repeat for like days. It's a great song. Like
his recovery. He's been like an incredible story. I mean, no,
I don't agree with his politics, but.

Speaker 2 (55:08):
Yeah, no, no, no, that's it. That's another thing Entyler. But
it's the idea that he was able to go because,
let's face it, he was, Ah, it's going to irritate
some people. There's a little Caitlyn Clark going on there.
You know what I'm saying, Well, Caitlyn Clark, I'm trying
to remember the very like they were just like, there's
no way a white guy is going to be in

(55:28):
the rap game there.

Speaker 4 (55:29):
Yeah, well he sure did prove them wrong.

Speaker 2 (55:31):
Yes, But I love that.

Speaker 4 (55:35):
When Dre first heard his mixtape he thought he was black,
Like he was shocked.

Speaker 2 (55:39):
I saw. I saw Dre the whole they did. I
don't know if it's a documentary or what it was.
I saw a little section of it.

Speaker 4 (55:45):
Yeah, no, but his story to overcome addiction is pretty
damn powerful and inspiring, So politics aside. I respect the
hell out of him for that.

Speaker 2 (55:53):
Yeah. And also the whole premise of that song, that
the whole Houdini song, the thing that was on the
was about his old his his original self, going through
a time portal, coming back to now and trying to
destroy everything because he was running around calling everything gay
and you know, doing all the things that you could

(56:14):
do twenty five years ago. And he's completely unapologetic about it.
He's just like, this is what it is, man, and
you know, apparently he's you know, he's got what three kids.
I haven't seen any stories where his kids are out
murdering people, so that's probably positive. I think his daughter

(56:34):
just got married. But just the part where it's like,
all right, come in for your kids Summer Blockbuster, you know,
for the songs and everything. They're going to be screaming
for the next three months in the car every time
we try to go somewhere. And then Eminem is the
is the song they go with the feature song, This
is wild to me? Ah, yes, in a swoop dog

(56:58):
reading kids' stories. Yeah, it's crazy.

Speaker 4 (57:00):
The artists that you had that were controversial as a
kid are now in kids movies. And then the songs
that were like bangers when you were a kid are
now like being played in the grocery store.

Speaker 2 (57:08):
Right.

Speaker 4 (57:09):
That's how you know you're officially old, Like when you're
walking around the grocery store and you're like, man, these
songs are awesome. You're like, I'm old.

Speaker 2 (57:14):
What's the What was the kids music series where they
sing along kids.

Speaker 4 (57:19):
Bop or kid bops yep, kid Bop.

Speaker 2 (57:21):
I think Eminem was on one of the Kids Bop
and Snoop Dog was not that, because they're still putting
those things out.

Speaker 4 (57:27):
Yeah, it's like the extreme radio edit.

Speaker 2 (57:29):
But yes, yeah, yeah, yeah, No you're not getting the
you're not the full version, clearly, So let's get rased
agic from the weather Channel. Oh man, man, man, man, man, man,
what's going on? It happened not that. I just I
happen to see a trailer for whatever the new Minions
thing is. I don't even know sure, I guess maybe
there's another movie coming out, and I just thought it

(57:51):
started laughing because I realized the soundtrack in the trailer
was Eminem and I'm man, if you'd have told me
twenty five years ago, eminem was going to be the
sound track for that big Kid first movie. Right, what
are you doing? That's good jail. Yeah. But now it's
just how many it worked? You know, it happens. How

(58:12):
many Minions movies is that now? I don't know. I honestly,
I've never seen a single one of them. That's why
I had to go to round.

Speaker 5 (58:21):
It's not really yeah, well, it's almost like how many
toy stories now are?

Speaker 2 (58:26):
Now? Five is coming out and it's like, can we
do something?

Speaker 1 (58:29):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (58:29):
And then they're re issuing the game too, toy Story,
we don't count four?

Speaker 4 (58:34):
Four is the Godfather?

Speaker 2 (58:35):
Three? Wait, hold on, what's I'm sorry, what's toy story?
Four is not in our in our house, we don't count.
It was one, two, three, and then five. Yeah, oh okay,
so okay, so I won't see four then either.

Speaker 4 (58:47):
Yeah, just skip it.

Speaker 2 (58:49):
Okay, I'll just skip four. What was wrong with the movie?

Speaker 7 (58:53):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (58:53):
I mean okay. By the way, the movie is called
Minions and Monsters and it's an animated spin off in
theater's life. First story was.

Speaker 4 (59:05):
Just super weird. There's like no Andy, and it had
no girl that he handed the toys off two in
three and it was just a disjointed mess and it
was like a bunch of feminism. And I'll pass on
all of it, thinks No Andy, Yeah, no Andy, Nope,
none really nope.

Speaker 2 (59:20):
What about buzz light Years?

Speaker 4 (59:21):
Yeah he was in there.

Speaker 2 (59:22):
Oh okay, but no, wait, that's weird.

Speaker 4 (59:25):
Yeah strange.

Speaker 5 (59:26):
Well how do you not have the whole reason exactly?
Like it's not like toy Story, it's like story.

Speaker 2 (59:33):
So is this a mashup? So this is the Minions
meets the Monsters series?

Speaker 4 (59:38):
Ross oh, from way, way way away from like Monsters University. Yeah,
oh wow, we're gonna see that. It's gonna freak out.
My kid is gonna freak out. I had no idea.

Speaker 2 (59:48):
Nice, Oh, the Monsters. That's some good stuff.

Speaker 4 (59:51):
That's one of those movies where Lincoln like, we've watched
The Monsters University. It was not a loop in our
house yesterday. It's been a loop in our house for
like five years. Five years. Easy.

Speaker 5 (01:00:00):
Nice, nice, Yeah, back in the day, all those movies,
you know, I still watch them once in a while.

Speaker 2 (01:00:07):
I don't tell anybody, but actually literally never seen any
of these movies. I don't have kids, so well I well,
actually don't tell anybody.

Speaker 5 (01:00:15):
But yesterday on Disney I happened to see that Hannah
Montana was running rerun.

Speaker 2 (01:00:19):
So I was watching that.

Speaker 4 (01:00:21):
Oh dude, I watched I watched Blue on my own.
I don't even care.

Speaker 2 (01:00:25):
Blue is a great Yeah, no, we're checking Ray's hard drive. Dad.
Blue is a different thing.

Speaker 5 (01:00:30):
Well, we watched all that with the with the kids,
with the girl when you have girls, you know, Hannah Montana,
and it was the other one.

Speaker 2 (01:00:35):
Good luck, Charlie. That was a good one too. How
was that as a girl? Dad watching Hannah Montana and
then watching her all slutty on a wrecking ball. Yeah,
you know that was tough.

Speaker 4 (01:00:45):
Yeah, it really kind of made me head and I
don't want to see that probably, Yeah, the.

Speaker 2 (01:00:49):
Rose colored glasses on. I guess that's what I had
to do. But anyway, all right, man, So yeah, let's
get some good weather, real nice. We we could, we
could use that and it can happen.

Speaker 7 (01:01:01):
You know.

Speaker 5 (01:01:01):
First, I just know I made that little subtle mention
yesterday as sprinkles or rain or showers, and we did
verify to try. I did have a trace of pre sip.
We didn't think it'd be much, and now we are
precipitation free, probably through the weekend, and it is gonna
be one of those weekends where if you're gonna be outdoors,
it's gonna be hot.

Speaker 2 (01:01:21):
That sun angles up there. It's gonna be quick to
burn and we might even see it maybe a little
humidity creep back. But it's a beautiful morning.

Speaker 4 (01:01:28):
This morning.

Speaker 5 (01:01:29):
There's been some fog, but a lot of that's been
out in the mountains comfortable. I'm even seeing some forties
around town. Sunshine later load to mid eighties tonight. We're
up just a few degrees from what you see right
now in the car thermometer, add like three or four
to it, so it's probably gonna put you somewhere in
the load of mid fifties, then sunshine tomorrow, midtupper eighties,
Friday sunny ninety to maybe the mid nineties in the triad,

(01:01:52):
I mean the triangle, excuse me, and the same thing
for the weekend load to mid nineties. So between ninety
ninety five over the weekend gonna be a great lake weekend,
had great pool weekend to be outdoors. And you know,
I was telling a friend, Yeah, when the sunsets could
be one of those evenings where it's gonna be real nice,
even after the sunsets because they'll cool up pretty quickly too.

Speaker 2 (01:02:09):
Humidity might come up, but either way, hot weather on
the way, bonfire weather, that's what I call that. Man nice.
I'm okay with it, all right, Thank you, sir, appreciate it.
All right, there you go, racetagic, all right, I gotta
play the rest of the we got sidetracked by minions.
It happens. I'm gonna play the rest of Bernie Sanders
audio for you, and then we're gonna be chatting with

(01:02:30):
Congressman Brad Not. That'll be coming up at eighth five.
So stick around Casey O Day radio program. Assuming that
I'm some sort of reliable source of information for children's movies,
and I'm just speed reading Reddit while I'm trying to
sit here and remember a thing. I will.

Speaker 4 (01:02:46):
Man, I'm so disappointed. Now.

Speaker 2 (01:02:48):
Okay, so I have crushed Ross's dreams. So while it
is called Minions and Monsters, it does not involve monsters.

Speaker 4 (01:02:57):
The monsters, right, So there's no Mike was out, There's
no Sully, There's no doubt because I was thinking of mine.
It's crazy that Elimination in the Universal are teaming up
with Disney and Pixar, Like, how is that? How have
I not heard? Yeah?

Speaker 2 (01:03:08):
Literally, I don't know what any of these things are.
But so it's said in the nineteen twenties, and the
Minions released monsters into Hollywood in the nineteen twenties, which
is ironic because they're still there, right, the monsters in Hollywood? Yeah,
so there is that is one of them, Harvey Weinstein?

(01:03:30):
Do we know? Should I not start rumors anymore?

Speaker 1 (01:03:33):
This?

Speaker 2 (01:03:33):
It feels kind of cash grabby. I'm not gonna lie, man.

Speaker 4 (01:03:35):
I'm a little thrown off by the black Dhlia scene,
but whatever.

Speaker 2 (01:03:39):
Hey, that's a very important scene. So no, I'm just
gonna understand why she was there. Maybe we'll see it,
but probably not.

Speaker 1 (01:03:46):
Now.

Speaker 2 (01:03:48):
If it had been a mashup of monsters and minions,
you'd have been all over.

Speaker 4 (01:03:52):
We would have had to go why don't you.

Speaker 2 (01:03:54):
Call Disney or whoever owns these things and be like, hey,
do you want to you want to print money? Here's
how you're gonna print money, because like, yeah, I understand,
you know you're you're collabing with the enemy, so to speak.
But y'all are getting your teeth kicked in with all
your releases, So do something. If not, Bernie Sanders is

(01:04:16):
going to come along and sees the means of your production.

Speaker 7 (01:04:19):
Foundation of AI is our collective human intelligence, our books.

Speaker 2 (01:04:25):
Right, songs, artwork, not as much your.

Speaker 7 (01:04:28):
Code, scientific research, videos, compensations, images and ideas spanning generations.
As Sam Altman himself acknowledged, AI models were trained on
our quote collective experience, knowledge and learnings of humanity end quote.
The reality is that big tech oligarchs have fed this

(01:04:52):
knowledge into the AI models without permission, acknowledgment or compensation.
In other words, the creative work of millions and hundreds
of millions of people has been stolen by the wealthiest
people in the world.

Speaker 2 (01:05:11):
Happy Wednesday. If there is such a thing, it is
the CaCO Day radio program where everyone continues to just
be insane according to my news cycle of my stack
of news stories here, so to help us parse through
some of the insanity up in DC, we welcome in
Congressman brad Not this morning. How you doing, sir, Thank you,

(01:05:34):
I'm well, thank you, so dude, I'm just curious. I
know this is really not your wheelhouse because you're over
on the other side of things. I am amazed by
the Grand Plantner thing up in Maine, and I'm amazed
that all of your colleagues are pretending like they don't
know anything about them. When asked about him, they're like, oh, well,
I have to look into it. I saw Adam Schiff

(01:05:56):
said that the other day, what is the give me
the game plan, give me the inside baseball on this,
because I'm now theorizing that the Democrats have decided they're
going to take the l on this so they can
pretend to have standards like what is what is the
conversation you guys have with what's actually going on there.

Speaker 1 (01:06:16):
Okay, see it's a good question, and I don't I
don't think that they really believe they're going to take
the l Some might, but you know, the Bernie Sanders crowd,
they are fully committed to this candidate. And it's really, uh,
in complete consistency with the far left factions that have
become the mainline Democratic Party. And when you look at

(01:06:39):
what Grand Platina represents, he represents a policies that advocate
for centralized control. He wants the government to seize private property,
he wants to cap earnings, he wants to redistribute, he
wants to put a stranglehold on the education system, and
uh to boot he's at best, he's a Nazi sympathizer,

(01:07:04):
if not a downright just flat out anti Semitic Nazi.
I mean, it's just crazy. Anybody else would have a
proudly displayed Nazi tattoo for twenty years on their chest,
that would be the end of of their ability to
exist in polite society, but not in the Democratic Party.

(01:07:25):
And whether it's Zerra Mondami, whether it's the Senate candidates
in Michigan or even some of the folks got throughout
the Midwest. This is becoming accepted in the Democratic Party,
far left, collectivist political policies and over anti Semitism. But
he's in the main line.

Speaker 8 (01:07:44):
And Bernie Sanders was asked yesterday if he questioned.

Speaker 1 (01:07:48):
His endorsement, and he said, absolutely not. He's the right
man for this time.

Speaker 8 (01:07:52):
So I don't understand it.

Speaker 1 (01:07:55):
It makes me very disheartened because it shows the direction
of the country is going in on one on one
side of the Ledger, I think is very very damaging.

Speaker 2 (01:08:03):
I mean, I want you guys to keep it interesting
up there. This is probably a little more than that.
You know, just from the outside looking in. I'm sitting
there and I'm watching this Planner stuff, Bert, and You're right,
Bernie Sanders is seemingly all in. But I've seen some
of your colleagues that are like, this is a bad idea.
And I don't know if it's just about their reelection

(01:08:25):
or what's going on there, but you know, ultimately, if
they don't get the if they don't flip the Susan
Collin seat, they probably don't get the Senate. Right.

Speaker 8 (01:08:36):
Well, that's when when you're when you're coming.

Speaker 1 (01:08:38):
Uphill like the Democrats will in the Senate, you have
to you can't leave any on the table. And uh
one would think that just given the nature of our midterm,
you know, the Republicans control the Senate and the House
and the White House, that main would be a very
competitive seat. But you look at that graphically, and when

(01:08:59):
you have someone who has a profile on a.

Speaker 4 (01:09:03):
On a.

Speaker 1 (01:09:05):
Platform that's used by pedophiles, when you have someone who's
obviously gone after other women besides his wife, you have
this Nazi tattoo, I don't think that Manors are going
to be in that camp. And so my personal opinion
is they are going to sacrifice that seat. So it's
it's very troubling, it's very perplexing. But again the Democratic

(01:09:28):
Party has just become far left, no matter the cost.
If he's right with us, it doesn't matter that he
had a Nazi tattoo. That's sort of the attitude they're taking.

Speaker 2 (01:09:38):
Well, and they look at the ox they're trying to
gore Susan Collins no offense, no offense, But Susan Collins
is the least threatening Republican they could possibly be running
against because she will from time to time walk over
and side with exactly what Democrats want, especially when he
gets into appointing people.

Speaker 8 (01:09:57):
So, no question about it, no question about it.

Speaker 1 (01:10:00):
I'm very confused by it. But again, what it represents
is something that's very ugly in the Democratic Party that
should not be tolerated. And Graham plattin or he met
with all the Senate Democrats yesterday and he's still the
candidate and they had the meeting.

Speaker 2 (01:10:16):
I saw they were having the meeting. OK, good stuff. Hey,
going back to your side of the aisle, what happened
to Rep. Tom Keane? What's going on with that? So
there's reports that nobody's seen this dude for months? Is
that accurate? Is that the media just like be in
the media or yeah? I mean, do you have any
idea what's going on? You know?

Speaker 1 (01:10:38):
I really don't, And if I had something to share,
I don't know that this would be the place to
do it. But honestly, Casey, I haven't seen him. The
only thing I know is that he has a health
crisis going on, and unfortunately that's not unusual in Congress,
especially give him the average age. I hope that he's
okay and wish him a speedy recovery, but no one's

(01:11:00):
seen them in two or three months, all right.

Speaker 2 (01:11:02):
So going back to Bernie Sanders, I just had to
ask that because I keep seeing this story and I'm like,
I have not seen a I've not seen anybody comment
on it. Going back to Bernie Sanders. So Bernie Sanders
put out a put out a video yesterday and he
brings look, he brings up a lot of valid points
about AI. AI is crazy. It's just it's it's like witchcraft, man,

(01:11:27):
And I don't think that we fully determine exactly how
impactful it's going to be, but it's going to be impactful,
both of the positive. I think some of the stuff
that AI is able to do with the development of
drugs seems pretty promising, some super interesting stories there. But
also there are concerns, you know, what does AI do
for certain job categories. But Bernie Sanders' opinion is that

(01:11:52):
the somehow fifty percent of the stock of AI companies
should then be I guess gifted to the public. But
when they say public, they mean you guys, right, government, right,
that's who would provide the oversighting. So walk me through this.
What I'm curious, what are your thoughts on AI, because,

(01:12:12):
let's face it, even though you guys are a body
of a lot of people. I laughed when they had
the hearings where they brought Mark Zuckerberg in watching your
colleagues try to understand social media. Right, some a eight
year old guy didn't get it. But in reality, this
is really important stuff. So, I mean, are there substantive

(01:12:33):
discussions about a I regulatory things. Do you think that
they should seize half the means of production? You probably don't.
Where where are you at on this? And is there
a is there a an issue or discussion or a
build that's going to be coming up on this?

Speaker 1 (01:12:52):
Well, you know, I think one thing that is absolutely
the case with artificial intelligence is there's some truth and
there's some hyperbole with all of the fear mongering that's
going on. You know, just as a small example of
the benefits of artificial intelligence that is a counter to
the point that is going to eliminate jobs. My wife

(01:13:12):
has a small business. She runs a women's clothing store.
There was an app that was developed utilizing artificial intelligence
that enables her to basically spreadsheet her inventory without manually
typing in every code. And so what did that enable
her to do It enabled her to take one of
her employees who was sitting in a computer all day

(01:13:35):
literally putting in inventory, and now that person is rotated
onto the sales floor being promoted. More money goes back
to the customer, more money goes back to the employees.
So I don't think that AI in the short term
is going to be this job destroying force.

Speaker 8 (01:13:51):
Secondly, artificial intelligence does.

Speaker 1 (01:13:54):
Have robust potential to do good. It has robust potential
to do bad. And Bernie Sanders mistake is if you
have a centralized authority under which AI will operate. Number one,
you're going to stymy the creativity of the marketplace, but
you're also going to have much better capability for the bad.

(01:14:18):
Whenever you have a centralized control, that much power under
one roof, that will enable vast abuses. The best way
that we can prevent abuses of AI, whether it's with
intellectual property, whether it's with personal data, whether it's with
spine but does, whatever it may be, is to have
a robust marketplace. And once the robust marketplace is established,

(01:14:42):
the framework is there, then we can start to regulate
sensibly to make sure that people's rights are protected. That
the industries and the society at large is served, and
then my personal belief is it will be a net benefit.
But to have the government to come in and control
at this early stage.

Speaker 8 (01:15:00):
Intelligence is it's an unbelievably.

Speaker 1 (01:15:03):
Hair brained idea. And again I think it would only.

Speaker 8 (01:15:06):
Further the likelihood that it could be an.

Speaker 1 (01:15:09):
Abusive system the best. It's just like with the speech casey.
The best resistance to censorship is more speech. The best
resistance to disinformation is more information. So we need to
protect the marketplace allow these companies to innovate, whether it's
with medicine, whether it's with education, whether it's with industry,
small business, big business. We need a robust marketplace that

(01:15:33):
will allow this system to take to take the course,
and then the regulations can come as they will. But
I can tell you this, someone will win the AI race,
and it's two options, the United States or China.

Speaker 8 (01:15:47):
I would rather have a plethora of.

Speaker 1 (01:15:49):
Companies in the United States competing for that prize rather
than having technology crammed down our throat from Huawei or
some other CCP controlled business. And if we take fifty
percent of the market cap right now by Bernie Sanders
wants it doesn't matter what.

Speaker 8 (01:16:06):
The industry is, AI or otherwise.

Speaker 1 (01:16:09):
Those industries will suffer and we will seed control to
the international competitors.

Speaker 2 (01:16:14):
Well, I mean we're nobody wants data centers. I mean
this is this is probably you and I could probably
do a whole hour literally just on this topic. There's
so much complexity to it. But acting like this is
a new thing after at the end of the Biden
administration where they just tried to plug in remember that
committ that group they wanted to set up with the
theater chick running it to basically be the arbiter of information.

(01:16:36):
I can't remember what they tried to call it. Like
this has been a hairbrain scheme for a while.

Speaker 1 (01:16:41):
For them, no question, no question, And I will if
you if you have if I have a brief moment
for data centers, I can tell you this.

Speaker 8 (01:16:49):
You know, I urged your listeners to.

Speaker 1 (01:16:51):
Remember the first computers were the size of a house,
and now you have one in your pocket. And I
was talking to some executives the other the other day.
They said that with data and computing, it will be
exactly analogous. There will be a time when chips, when
electric generation, when the data processing will be so efficient

(01:17:12):
that data centers will go from the size of a
six thousand square foot house a two thousand square foot
house down to the size of a suitcase. So again,
I don't want to be the you know, I'm not
a universalist here, but I do believe a free market
system reduces inefficiency, it reduces pollution, and we will move
to a place where these things are hopefully much less scary.

(01:17:34):
And the best way to achieve that is the free
market system, not a totalitarian state.

Speaker 2 (01:17:39):
So there is an issue I am rather upset that
I'm correct on, but I just keep stacking stories up
and collecting them. There is a very real effort to
not celebrate the two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the
United States. Right we have Nantucket. The Church of Nantucket
just canceled the big parade in Los Angele was Karen

(01:18:00):
Bass just into the funding for the security for that,
So that's not going to happen. You've had multiple other
cities who are generally blue cities, and it feels like
it's a tantrum against Donald Trump. But even what he
was wanting to do up in DC seems to kind
of be turning into a disaster for a couple reasons. One,

(01:18:23):
you had these musicians who were initially announced going to
be there and then they like five or six WM
went we're not going to be there. And then you
read their statements, like from Brett Michaels, and it sounds
like the reason they're not going to be there is
because people were threatening to kill them Martina McBride and
and Brett Michaels and others. So help me make sense

(01:18:47):
of what is actually going to be accomplished and how
are we screwing this up so badly? Is it Trump
wanted to make it about him, as the media portrays,
or is it just a bunch of angry, bad actors
who are going to do everything their power to not
let people have a good time for I guess a
few weeks this summer.

Speaker 1 (01:19:06):
Well, I would say the baseline Casey is Unfortunately most
people in the United States are not familiar with how
wonderful our country is when you have people who no
longer have ties to the World War two generation.

Speaker 2 (01:19:18):
My grandfather is.

Speaker 1 (01:19:19):
Still alive, he's one hundred years old, but there.

Speaker 8 (01:19:21):
Are not many veterans left.

Speaker 2 (01:19:22):
Not many young.

Speaker 1 (01:19:23):
People have been blessed with a with a good education
that tells them about just how wonderful our country is.
Whether it's with the Bill of Rights, the Constitution, you know,
whether it's with you know, the economic miracles that have
come from the United States, the medical miracles that come
from the United States, and then you look at.

Speaker 8 (01:19:40):
You know, we bought a war to abolish.

Speaker 1 (01:19:42):
Slavery, the civil rights movement, women suffrage, whatever it may be.
Our country has been a bright light for the world.

Speaker 8 (01:19:49):
For basically its entire existence. And right now, especially with
the left, there is extreme, extreme discouragement about our country,
and whether it's with poor education, not telling the American story,
whether it's with Trump hatred, or even you know, not to.

Speaker 1 (01:20:07):
Bring up the immigration issue, but when you bring in
twenty five million people who want to take from this country,
who want to take from this country rather than contribute
to the country, that creates a very negative sentiment. Especially
when those in charge, like me, like people in the Senate,
like people in the White House, want to reserve.

Speaker 8 (01:20:27):
The tax dollars for the taxpayers.

Speaker 1 (01:20:29):
That's a that's that's a very very negative downturn for
these folks. And again there is a there's a real.

Speaker 2 (01:20:37):
Apathy with our country. I just want to watch people
punch each other on the White House law Congressman. It's
not that complicated. I just want to you're gonna have
your chance. Yeah, maybe you know there's a cabal of
witches that are doing a I'm not even making this up.
A cabal of left leaning witches are doing a rain
ceremony so that it tries to rein out the UFC.

(01:20:57):
That's a real thing that's happening. This is the insane
ele that we're dealing with. Thirty seconds, I'll let's riff
on that.

Speaker 8 (01:21:04):
But uh well, yeah, you know, like I said, the
level of the level of.

Speaker 1 (01:21:07):
Hatred for the president and for the traditional American values
that the Republican.

Speaker 8 (01:21:11):
Party still stands for and some of the Democrats stand for,
it's very real.

Speaker 1 (01:21:15):
And uh again, yeah, I hope and cray we can
get back to some sensibility here.

Speaker 2 (01:21:20):
You guys need to get your own witches. That's what this.
You gotta get some witches to fight back. So all right,
we have to leave it there. I didn't even get
to the really important stuff. But that's how it goes. Congressman,
Appreciate it, and we'll be right back. Pleason Bridgewater. I
don't know where that is. Who cares? I responded to
a report of a man wearing camouflage with a bazooka.

(01:21:43):
Uh that was milling around I guess near a park.
That's pretty terrifying. Ross you guys like going to the park.
If you go to Joyner Park today and there's some
dude is it a gilly suit with the bazuka, that's
probably disconcerting, right, you probably want to see that.

Speaker 6 (01:21:59):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (01:22:00):
So police responded to the to the park and they
found their suspect, which turned out to be and I'm
not making this up, a dude with a leaf blower
who actually works for the city that they say that
an elderly resident had mistaken for a dude, you know,

(01:22:21):
with a bazooka in camouflage for some reason. The guy's
wearing the like the green the reflective green thing too.
So I don't know, man, you get your eyes checked there.
But I suppose the police were happy then show up
and there's some lunatic in at gilli suit with a bazuka.
It's a guy blowing leaves. Man, just blowing leaves, all right? Sorry,

(01:22:43):
slightly distracted by that story. So watch what's going on
in California, and yes, we have some results from the primary,
but in California they can literally take weeks to count
this stuff. And a lot of people are like a
little suspect that in the the mayor's race in Los Angeles,
even though Spencer Pratt right now is in second that

(01:23:06):
you know, you end up behind the scenes stuff and
maybe they'll get that councilwoman in there so that it
is two Democrats, Karen Bass right running against her council member.
But man, it's inspiring some stuff. Case in point in
New Jersey, now Jersey shortstar Mike Sorrentino, known as the Situation,

(01:23:30):
suggested he may run for governor of the Garden State
in twenty nine. All right, Ross, which crazy fifteen minutes
of fame? Dude, do you want in your local elected
office so that you can watch it in amusement? Yeah,
if you had to che.

Speaker 4 (01:23:45):
Yeah, I know. I'm writing Jesse Camp, Jesse Camp.

Speaker 1 (01:23:49):
You know you know.

Speaker 2 (01:23:50):
Why because he gets stuff done.

Speaker 4 (01:23:53):
Because the New World Order, the big government people are
trying to install Dave Holmes to be the next leader.
And I'm not going down that path. I'm voting my
own way. I'm going Jesse Camp.

Speaker 2 (01:24:05):
For people who have no idea what we're talking about.
Way back in the day, they decided that they would
get a new VJA on MTV, right video jockey, and
they would have like a you know, essentially a reality
competition to do it. And the thing was so cooked
from the beginning.

Speaker 4 (01:24:22):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:24:22):
No, they brought in they had a radio guy, They
had a popular radio guy, and they were gonna make
him a TV guy.

Speaker 4 (01:24:27):
Yeah, they brought in Dave Home. It was supposed to
be like, look at these you know, strangers we picked
off the street to become your next VJ. Right right.
Dave Holmes was a popular DJ, believe maybe in Boston
it was like a big market, and he was supposed
to win the whole thing. And then on the one
of the other contestants with Jesse Camp.

Speaker 2 (01:24:45):
Who's who's like a heroin attic they found on the
giant hair crackhead who couldn't even speak in census, So
you know, they would have to introduce the songs, Like
first Dave introduced a new gen Blossom's video and he
would get up there with the microphone in front of everybody,
do a fantastic job. And you were supposed to vote
for him, and then Jesse Camp would go up there
and he wouldn't even speak it was English, but he.

Speaker 1 (01:25:07):
Was like.

Speaker 4 (01:25:09):
About doubt about you, gym bless Yeah, and he jump
up and down and the kids would go crazy, and
he won the whole damn thing because.

Speaker 2 (01:25:20):
The Internet Internet what internet does?

Speaker 4 (01:25:22):
Yeah, dude, it was like the original vote mcboat face. Yes,
it was a going we can see what you're trying
to do. You want us to vote for this guy
because he's polished and professional. Screw you were voting for
the crackhead, and that's exactly what they did.

Speaker 2 (01:25:36):
I want a dumpster fire every time I turn on TRL,
That's all I'm asking. Yeah, I want Carson Dale to
be visibly nervous if this guy's in the same room.

Speaker 4 (01:25:45):
Years later, I had to go down and interview some people.
It was some music festival. I want to say it
was Lollapalooza, but it might not have been. I was
working in Omaha. I had to drive down to Kansas City.
It was a big music festival. Everybody in the world
was there, eminem was there, everyone was there, and one
person I was supposed to interview with, Jesse Camp. So
I'm going around. I have to interview Jesse Camp, say,
like eleven ten, and I can't find Jesse Camp. And

(01:26:07):
I've got my little mini disc recorder and I'm freaking
out because I need to get the audio for his interview.
And it finally finds it like his handler, and I'm like,
where is Jesse Camp. I need to interview him for
the radio?

Speaker 2 (01:26:16):
What a job that much?

Speaker 4 (01:26:17):
Yeah? Right, And they go, oh, he's right over there.
And I looked to my left and there's this big
bouncy castle and he's jumping up and down on the
bouncy castle, wearing those big jeans, like the Jinko jeans. Yeah,
at the hot top of chains on them. He's jumping
up and down and peeing on himself simultaneously.

Speaker 2 (01:26:39):
Oh. Dave Holmes would never Yeah, he would never, right,
and he missed all that.

Speaker 4 (01:26:45):
Yeah, well, yeah, they ended up Listen, they ended up
hiring Dave Holmes anyway, because that was the plan, but
they also to hire Jesse Camp, and Dave Holmes ended
up being around for a long time, and Jesse Camp
did not, No, he did not.

Speaker 2 (01:26:59):
Here's the problem with this shit situation, going back to
you interviewing people and that is Mike the situation Sorrentino
when you hit him with a substitute policy question, isn't
necessarily ready to answer it.

Speaker 4 (01:27:11):
It us a different time. That's back when he was
in shape.

Speaker 1 (01:27:14):
He came So.

Speaker 2 (01:27:16):
Roz is doing a club gig and they have the
situation I'm not even gonna do justice to this dude
shows up with a bag of money.

Speaker 4 (01:27:23):
Yeah, he showed up and I was m seeing the
Friday night party down at a club downtown called Mirage,
so down there and they brought in This was at
the time they were bringing in different MTV you know,
quasi celebrities whatever. So they bring in the situation and
he's standing there and he walks in with this big
briefcase and this big ginormous dude whose job was to

(01:27:44):
stand there next to me in front of the briefcase,
and it.

Speaker 2 (01:27:47):
Was the nuclear football guy.

Speaker 4 (01:27:49):
Yeah, so inside was all the money that he was
paid for to do the event, and perhaps some other
things in the briefcase. Right, Perhaps some people have speculated
there was other things besides cash in the briefcase being
guarded by Ving Raims or whoever this guy was. So,
so I'm supposed to interview him live on the air

(01:28:10):
during the hot Mix or whatever, like they're you know,
DJ Vegas on the ones and twos at Mirage with
the situation. So I'm down there and I'm talking to him,
and I'm asking him all these like really easy questions.
You know, what's your favorite color, what do you think
about Raleigh? What's MTV like.

Speaker 2 (01:28:24):
It's snooky, annoying? Yeah, all that kind of stuff.

Speaker 4 (01:28:26):
And finally the final question, I asked him what he
thinks about the situation in Syria, and he goes blank,
and he just filibusters, you know, yeah, he said something like,
you know, I don't want again. I just I'm about
partying and I'm about the situation and whatever's going over

(01:28:48):
the end.

Speaker 2 (01:28:48):
You know what, how refreshing? Yeah, right, right, right right,
how refreshing right in retrospect.

Speaker 4 (01:28:54):
Right, because these days it would have been like, you know,
we're interviewing him, and he'd probably I'm not saying he
would say this, but you know, the same sort of
person in that situation, not the situation though, and he'd
be like, oh, well, I believe you a free Palestine
or some stupid you know, he would have some sort
of political stance on it. He had absolutely none and
no idea what was talking about. And you're right, that's refreshing.

Speaker 2 (01:29:13):
He'd probably go off on the Jews, would you know.
I don't know. Again, I'm not putting words in his mouth,
but I'm just from a celebrity standpoint where they just
have to, like they have to vector to something they
saw online so they can pretend they know what they're
talking about.

Speaker 4 (01:29:26):
This is the Spencer Pratt effect though, right, you think
we're gonna have more people from that realm now pop
up and say, hey, I can do with Spencer Pratt's
doing in California.

Speaker 2 (01:29:35):
Yes, And in fact, I was reading a piece this
morning by Politico. Take it for what it's worth. It's
basically saying that Spencer Pratt and what's going on with
Spencer Pratt could severely, severely change the landscape of what
things look like in twenty twenty eight for you know
who who ascends to then continue in Trump's stead? Is

(01:29:58):
it jd Vance, Is it Marco Rubio? Or now with
the Spencer Pratting of things, is it somebody who just
comes out of nowhere man kind of like Trump did?
And you know what, I think that's an interesting Uh
It's an interesting conversation, but I don't know that putting

(01:30:18):
the situation, well, you know what, it's New Jersey. How
much could he break it more? It's true, right, he
could put he could move the governor's mansion to the
Jersey Shore and then just you know, do like his
speeches from a hot tub man like he could totally
lean into this one.

Speaker 4 (01:30:35):
One thing that I do appreciate about him as well
as Spencer Pratt is when you like, they're normal people
in the sense that they got fat. And I appreciate that, yes,
because back in the day they were not. They were
very fit, right, that was like their role Jim Tan
launch GTL. Right, and now they're like normal dudes who
they look normal for their age, and I appreciate that.

Speaker 2 (01:30:56):
Wouldn't calling the governor governor's situation be kind of funny though?

Speaker 4 (01:31:00):
Yeah? Dude, I mean, dude, if Jesse Ventura can get elected, right.

Speaker 2 (01:31:05):
Hey, I lived through that, man. I had one of
his press passes that we lost. I told you. I
told this on the raced Agic from the Weather Channel.
The dude literally went up to a governor's event with
all the media called the fishing Opener in Minnesota, and
then he dipped out on the first day and nobody
could find literally, there was there's media stories. They're like,
we can't find the governor and he just said I

(01:31:27):
hate all of you. He got a houseboat on a
rainy lake and just ignored everybody for three days. Did
he come back? He did come back.

Speaker 1 (01:31:35):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:31:36):
Oh, I guess they always stand back, right, But they're
just like, ah, we lost the governor. Don't know what
happened to the governor. It's like, where's wal though, right, dude?
That was so crazy. That's when I first started in Minnesota,
is when that guy was elected. I'm like, what what
buzz saw that I just walk into? That was interesting?

Speaker 5 (01:31:52):
On a houseboat though, That's not a bad way to escape, though, Yeah, man,
good fish.

Speaker 2 (01:31:57):
Like I couldn't blame him, but you know, tell yourself,
his staff didn't know. Oh his staff like literally literally
they have state troopers looking for him. Oh okay, oh yeah, interesting.
It'll be drowned or a million thing or the predator
got him, you know. Yeah, well there's that right. Yeah,
people just disappear came back, right, So give us that

(01:32:21):
good Give us a good bonfire weather. You were talking
about earlier.

Speaker 5 (01:32:25):
Man, Yeah, fifties at night, we're having this morning, even
seeing some forties around. Same thing for tomorrow. I do
think by the weekend though, we'll come up to the
mid and upper sixties and maybe closer to seventy by
Sunday morning. But you have a couple of evenings through
Friday that you know we're right of that sunsets, you
know where you're kind of like, okay, now that sun's gone,
because there's gonna be a lot of it and it's
gonna be real strong. You know you'll be like, Okay,

(01:32:47):
well that's better, especially as the week goes on. Today,
little bit eighties, lots of sun, a little breeze out
of the north, so that's helping drive in the drier
and less humid air. And it sticks around through tonight,
little mid fifties, Tomorrow, mid upper eighties, and then probably
ninety to ninety five near ninety triad ninety three to
ninety five Friday, Saturday and Sunday for the triangle, and

(01:33:09):
it looks like we're going to see plenty of sunshine
without a shower thundershower chance until Sunday night Monday. Did
you want to mention if your beach week they're heading
through town heading to the OBX or any of the
East Coast beaches. There is small craft advisories and some
higher rip current risks too, so be careful even this
weekend if you're heading in the water too, could be
a little tough out. There's been a tough tough East

(01:33:29):
Coast beach a couple of months, especially in Florida.

Speaker 2 (01:33:32):
Where I've had a lot of rip current. Now they
got a lot of rip current everywhere. Man, they got
a little legs out. So all right, thank you, sir,
appreciate it. We'll come back with Bloomberg News next.

Speaker 3 (01:33:42):
Hang on, hey, Casey, Well, Meta is unveiling new safety features.
This is to limit harmful content shown to teenagers on Instagram, Facebook,
and Messenger, and the feature will limit how frequently teens
are shown posts about topics like nutrition, weightlifting, and as
anxiety in their feeds. And it comes just a couple
months after that LA jury found Meta negligent in designing

(01:34:06):
apps that harmed kids by leading them to develop social
media addictions. An ugly blemish on the acne cream industry,
remember that recall of some acne creams popular with teens
last year. Well, apparently they were contaminated with high levels
of benzene when they were recalled. With benzene levels in
some creams and lotions at least fifteen times the level

(01:34:29):
allowed by the FDA and can cause leukemia at that
high level. That's according to a government report. Truckers you
might have noticed, are driving a little slower these days,
still passing just about everybody, but tapping the brakes, a
bit that started in April as gas prices skyrocketed inricks.
Wall Street Journal says slower speeds on the highway can

(01:34:50):
reduce drag and increase fuel efficiency. No secret there, but
what's interesting is slowing down by even a few miles
an hour can save truckers hundreds of dollars a week.
Travelers are spending tens of thousands of dollars upfront so
they never have to see a bill well on vacation
because bookings for all inclusive resorts, casey, they're absolutely surging

(01:35:11):
this year as travelers seek relief from the economic anxiety
of having to pay for everything on vacation. Many all
inclusive resorts are also offering you know, private Butler's fine dining.
Top shelf liquers now they're seeing increased bookings, mostly though,
as a result of people with money willing to pay,
and then pay even more so they don't even have
to think about what they're paying while they're enjoying themselves.

(01:35:35):
Country music star Garth Brooks considering a sale of his catalog,
eying about two billion dollars for the rights to his
songs and recordings. You know, friends and low Places, the
dance big hits like that I would be among the
largest deals ever for an individual artist or group's catalog.
Stocks right now not too great as investors eye the

(01:35:55):
skirmishes in the Middle East now down two twenty eight
on Futures S and P futures down eighteen, NESDA Futures
down six and McDonald's going all in on the FIFA
World Cup with a Squish Mellows Happy Meal, a new
collectible meal for the kids at heart. The Happy Meals
feature twenty three squish mellows that are World Cup themed
and for the collectible meal, each meal comes with a

(01:36:16):
blind bag collector's cup featuring the stars of the World Cup.

Speaker 2 (01:36:21):
Just what is that squish mellow? There?

Speaker 3 (01:36:25):
There are these like polyester sort of weird phae filled
creatures they're kind of cute.

Speaker 2 (01:36:32):
Oh I thought I thought it was a weird thing,
the little boo boo thing. Is that not those are no, no,
but it's kind of like that.

Speaker 3 (01:36:38):
It definitely is, you know, And I had a question
for you. It's yeah last night, oh okay, yeah, which
was like a really bizarre game.

Speaker 2 (01:36:52):
Yes, especially at the three there in the third period.

Speaker 3 (01:36:56):
Yeah, but right from the open it was oh yeah, yeah, yeah, No,
it was.

Speaker 2 (01:37:02):
Look, it was a very entertaining match. I'm not going
and you couldn't.

Speaker 3 (01:37:06):
If you were going to fix it, you you would
fix it this way right because it absolutely was like
shockingly and it was shocking.

Speaker 2 (01:37:13):
I was just fixed it. I wouldn't be here this
morning because I would have made millions and quit.

Speaker 3 (01:37:17):
So, but do you think that do you think their
win was a fluke? I mean they won without really
a lot of pucke.

Speaker 1 (01:37:24):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:37:25):
No, I think are a better team than that, I
really do. I think that they I have been sitting
there watching them on the news for a month and
every story is like, hey, what are you guys doing?
They're all just sitting around. It's not their fault that
they dominated their first two series, but they they literally
were they had like twenty some days off in a month. Yeah,
I think that'll do it.

Speaker 3 (01:37:45):
Be it in the first minute, yeah, the second.

Speaker 2 (01:37:49):
I mean, we're hoping for better, better things on Thursday.

Speaker 3 (01:37:54):
Oh absolutely better that that's tomorrow, right, So yeah, yeah,
I mean it was weird having Jordan in Stall scores
first Cup fighting call in what like almost twenty years,
Like what
