Speaker 1 (00:00):
Well, I don't want to have to do this today.
I have no interest in doing Okay, all right, I
guess we're gonna have to do this today because that's
what this show is. It's just a roundup of, you know,
whatever big news is happening. And if you think the big, big,
big story from yesterday won't impact your life, you'd ever know.
I don't know that you're gonna be able to escape it.
(00:21):
So I guess we're just gonna go ahead and we're
gonna kick things off here because you just gotta rip
the band aids, you know what I'm saying. And we
got all sorts of we got all sorts of other
stuff to get to today, but it will have to wait,
(00:43):
and there will be probably other stories that don't make
it in because of the time that we're gonna have
to spend on this thing. So here we go, because
it's gonna affect sports discussions all everything. Ready, Ross, I
don't know if you've heard, I am upgrading to the
(01:07):
dual Zone Ninja air Fryer. I'm taking this thing seriously
this season. I've loved the single shot, the black and
Decker one that I have that was entry level, but
this dual zone. Ninja. Have you seen this?
Speaker 2 (01:19):
No, but we have, and I've mentioned this before. This
is a really important topic. And I understand your excitement
because we upgraded to and it's an amazing air frier
so Drew barrymore one. Actually it's an amazing product. Okay,
it's amazing. And then the front of it, it's a
digital and it does like you know, every day cooking option.
It's incredible. It's worth the extra money, it really is.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
Yeah. The one that I had was basically analog, and
don't get me wrong, air friers.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
We had like the Tourney dial one, you know.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Now we're in a different stratosphere. Yes, yeah,
Well you're put a new wing on the house. You
gotta you know, everything's got to get upgraded. So yeah,
I made that decision. So I will be picking that
up later today because they have one in store, so
I don't have to go in the store. It's gonna
be great. Just go pick that thing up. And uh,
(02:09):
you know, tomorrow, I know that it kind of already
kicked off. But tomorrow we're just we're banging to college football. Man,
there's rocking and rolling. We got tomorrow, we got Friday,
we got Saturday, and just just the schedules are chock full.
We got some crazy matchups. Obviously, we're gonna get to
see Ohio State and Texas on on Saturday. I think
(02:36):
that's the That's a noon game Saturday, and I'm gonna
you know, there's a lot of stuff that's gonna need Friday. Man.
You know, I contemplated getting one of those small fryer
basket things too, but I think I'm I'm from a
health standpoint, I'm just gonna lean into the air fryer.
And at that point, I'm like, we need duel zone
because I think we've all been there, right, you want
to air fry two things, and then you got airfry
(02:59):
one and then you gotta then wait to air fry
the other. If they if it's remarkably different.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
You see the Drew Barrymore one comes with the optional basket. Okay,
it's pretty like I think, you know, it sounds funny
because they always like a Drew Barrymore thing. Her products
are really good, They really good.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
Okay, I had no idea, So that's good to hear.
So because her show's not that good, no, no, it's awful.
So stilly thing where she was like worshiping him.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
Separate the two because once, yeah, no, it's like an
amazing difference.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
I got you. Okay, all right anyway, So that's that's
the that's the big news this morning. Why don't we
head over to the White House where CBS News has
some breaking news from White House reporter Olivia Ronaldi. Taylor, So, uh,
that's this is probably gonna be very impactful. Take it away, CBS.
Speaker 3 (03:50):
Taylor Swift does engage. Taylor Swift does engage this come
back to me. She just posted it.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
Oh okay, okay, all right, this woman is waiting to
do a live hit. It's every shot you've ever seen
from the lawn of the White House where they all
set up. So and if you ever get to eyeball
the White House from like through the gate or over it,
or maybe you go to the White House, they have
a series of what looked like little cabanas they kind
of face back in there, and then that's where they
do their live hits with that background. You've seen it
(04:18):
a hundred times from one hundred networks. So this is HER's.
She's just concluded a hit. Her phone's blown up, and
so she's talking. She's not on the air, she's talking
to producers, you know, back at headquarters HQ there, and
she is she is giddy. There's no other word for it, dude.
(04:41):
Hold on, hold on, We're gonna play the whole thing
and then I know we all got lots to say,
so hang on.
Speaker 3 (04:46):
Taylor Swift is engaged. Taylor Swift is engaged. This come
back to me. She just posted it. Oh my god,
oh my god.
Speaker 4 (04:55):
Oh it's huge.
Speaker 5 (04:56):
The ring is joinormous.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
This is so exciting.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
Oh my god.
Speaker 3 (05:02):
Oh my god, oh my god. It's on her Instagram.
It's on her Instagram. It's on her Instagram. Oh my god,
oh my god, oh my god, Oh my god, my god.
I feel like Paul Revere right now.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
What what?
Speaker 3 (05:12):
This is a very exciting moment for me in my
professional career because I get to announce that Taylor Swift
and Travis Kelsey are engaged. As you're talking to Joe Lang.
Our lovely producer Gabby Aik texted me and said, Taylor
Swift's engaged, and you can see it right there on
her social media. She put it up in that post
that they got engaged, with the caption your English teacher
(05:33):
and your gym teacher are getting married with a little
dynamite dynamite sign. There so very exciting here that we
get to break that and.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
Tell you about that, just like Paul Revere.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
Man, dude, So you saw this video before I did,
and I'm loading the audio this morning. Yeah, And at
first I'm like, this woman is crazy, obviously, But then
I look at at the screen while the audio is loading,
and I know because I don't know who she is
right the White House in the background, and I say
to myself, this woman, this child is standing in front
(06:09):
of the White House, home of the most powerful people
on the planet. Correct, And you are acting as if
Jesus just came down and got an interview back or
you made the reference like the Beatles.
Speaker 1 (06:22):
Yeah, you're one of the screamy chicks at the airport
in New York when the Beatles land.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
She should not be in this role. She does not
have the mental capacity to handle that job. And this
is why we get the stories we get from the media.
That is a ridiculous reaction to a news story where
you should see it and say, as an adult, you
should see it and say I don't.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
Care, but you can care like she's in the news
and I you know, we care enough because there are
going to be societal reactions.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
To well, I'm listen, I don't care. The only reason
we're talking about it is because everyone else is talking
about it and this news and we have to talk
about it. It's stupid, it doesn't matter.
Speaker 1 (06:59):
It's so dumb.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
And for her to be sitting there in front of
the freaking White House and be like.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
And to make a Founding Father reference in the middle
of getting off of the lawn. Don't you remember when
and Georgia and Martha got together?
Speaker 2 (07:19):
Like you wonder how do we get these stories out
of out of the media of CBS, ABC, NBC, Like,
where do these news stories come from? Who's behind them?
Are they completely unhinged? Are they nuts?
Speaker 1 (07:30):
Davis Baptism.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
She needs to take her ass over to TMC, that's
where she belongs. That's crazy.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
Oh, she could do extra all right? What was the
thing Bill O'Reilly was on Inside Edition? That would work too, Probably.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
Yeah, any functional adult who's seriously looking at this news
and is acting like it's big news or important is crazy, Like,
you got problems if you're approaching it from a hobbyist standpoint,
because I look, here's a deal.
Speaker 1 (07:59):
There are some people that it's just in the age range.
You're gonna be big Taylor Swift fans. Maybe they don't
even care as much about that. It's fine, but you're
you're not talking with your girlfriends at cocktails later over
at the bar. Do you know what I'm saying?
Speaker 2 (08:14):
Say you know, would you say that I'm a big
Josh Allen fan?
Speaker 1 (08:17):
I would say you are a big Josh Allen fan.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
How many times did I bring up to you his
his engagement or wedding.
Speaker 1 (08:26):
I think only when you clarified what the actress was
in because I couldn't remember what she was.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
In, right, and I think I was. There was zero
times that I that I mentioned or brought up to you.
Oh my god, did you see Josh Allen. It doesn't
I don't care.
Speaker 1 (08:40):
Ross showed up in a full Josh Allen football uniform
the next day. Don't let him lie to you. I
mean the shoulder pads was banging into the microphone.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
It was very, very I don't think I'd have this
reaction if she wasn't standing in front of the White House,
and she wasn't the official like White House reporter.
Speaker 1 (08:57):
Right if she's the entertainment reporter for TVs now. And
what's even crazier is how did we get this video?
Was it another nearby news source that filmed it and
put it out there? No, the person who released that
video is CBS News. CBS News had the camera rolling
even though they weren't on the air, found the moment,
(09:18):
so I guess newsworthy and then posted it themselves to
social media for us all to consume this morning. This
is where we are, man, this is where we are.
And already, look, there's two things. If I I'm just
we're making predictions here because I said there will be
(09:40):
societal stuff too, not just things to annoy you in
the news site. But I think a couple somewhat interesting things.
One and I agree with this it says somebody beating
around the edges. But I'll go a step further. I
think that there will absolutely and I don't know what
the number will be, but there will be a significant
(10:01):
amount of women who want to immediately be engaged so
that they can be engaged at the same time as
Taylor Swift. And this is ross. The reason I say
this is this is something that happened a couple times
in recent history across the pond, once during the engagement
(10:21):
of Princess Diana and the other one with not Prince Harry,
the Prince William and what's her bucket? Were women that
because you know, they want the fairy talness of it all,
they were then decided to track with it, and then
there were an immense amount of weddings that happened right
around the times those two marriages, those two marriages happened.
(10:43):
So I think that that will definitely be something. Guys,
if you're with some gal and she's like, she now
proposes to you just because Taylor Swift got engaged. I'm
not telling you what to do. I don't know your relationship,
but I would have questions about that.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
No, Like, now that you lay it out like that,
that does make sense. Yes, women are that way with
their best friends. When they're best friends, keep getting all
their groups as well as pregnancy, that's the thing.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, pregnancy thing too. Oh god if
she gets pregnant. Man, But I mean, I'm gonna need
another air fryer. You know, what comes up must come down.
And you know that divorce album is going to be
a banger, right, you'll be fire man. Oh my goodness.
I look, here's the deal. I hope they don't get divorced.
I'm not rude. I'm not. There's very Maybe there's a
(11:34):
couple of people like because I just secretly want their
lives ruined. But but no, And frankly, you know we're
having all these discussions about marriage rates and fertility rates
right now. If if they go, I mean, it's not
some it's not gonna be some traditional situation. They just
because of what they both do for a living. But if,
like I know that the rap is she can't keep
(11:55):
a relationship and it powers for music, that's the joke.
But I don't know, man, it it might be obnoxious
to watch the Lovey Dovey, but if if it, if
it is in some way, shape or form a good example,
I don't know that that's that negative, even if it
annoys me. The other thing is going back to those
royal weddings. This thing everyone wants it to essentially like beyond,
(12:18):
like the networks are going to air this. Let's just be.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
Hon Yeah No, And like I said, I don't you know,
I wish them well, I really don't care either, like
I said, obviously I don't care, but what what does
affect me? And I do care? Like they're going to
show her even more now at the football games, and
that's frustrating, especially if like the script is already laid
out and it's the Bills year and now suddenly the
NFL is going to be like, no, now it's the
(12:42):
Chiefs year again. Because of this, I'm gonna be pissed. Well,
it's not like you guys play the Chiefs, right we do?
Oh oh you do?
Speaker 1 (12:49):
Okay, but it's not it's not when is it.
Speaker 2 (12:53):
Uh second half of the year back towards the end
of the year. I believe like after the bye.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
Okay, well else, engagement still still trucking there. But again,
this is a CBS News. This is these s I
should say these CBS News White House correspondent Olivia Ronaldi
te Taylor.
Speaker 3 (13:13):
Swift is engage. Taylor Swift is engaged. This come back
to me. She just posted it. Oh my god, Oh
my god.
Speaker 6 (13:22):
Oh it's huge.
Speaker 3 (13:23):
The ring is joinormous. This is exactly Oh my god.
Speaker 1 (13:29):
Dude, any guy gets engaged right now, your ring purchase
is up against his.
Speaker 2 (13:36):
I said yesterday too, I felt bad for anybody who
was also going to make their announcement yesterday, like they
were planning and making their announcement and that comes out
and then you've got to move it like a day
or two.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
Why God screw that, man.
Speaker 2 (13:46):
Yeah, no, Like I sa no. I saw that online,
like people were like, I was going to do this,
and now I do this because now all the attentions
of Taylor Swift and it's my day.
Speaker 1 (13:52):
It's by day. It's by day, all right. So that's
that's the thing that's happening. And apparently the the White
House Press Corps couldn't be more giddy about the whole thing.
I saw some other reactions, but none of it really,
none of it really was on par with the fact
that that took place standing on the lawn of the
(14:13):
White House. And did you notice that there were references
then made to how Trump's not going to be happy,
So they were still able to spin it around to
Trump's and able, which you know, I'm glad they haven't
lost that component of their genius authority.
Speaker 2 (14:34):
You're right, they have a job to do. They have
to stay focused, right, yeah.
Speaker 1 (14:36):
Stay focused, man, How can we incorporate Trump in this
to make him look bad.
Speaker 2 (14:41):
Right, Well, she was like being all giddy and like
sweaty and like oh Dailor's way of look at the ring,
look at the rod, like ye there in the studio,
like how can we bring this back to hating Trump?
Speaker 1 (14:49):
And they did. There's some other video of the some
actual reports post thing where they're just like, yeah, you know,
right after Trumps that he doesn't like Taylor Swift, it's
gonna this is a stick in his eyes? Is it?
Is it? Did they they poke him in the eye? Here?
Do you think Trump's pacing around the White House this
morning on truth socialism?
Speaker 2 (15:08):
You know, I heard the news and I heard he
burned all of his Taylor Swift CDs?
Speaker 1 (15:11):
No what you know? You know who else like to
burn media? Yeah? See what I did there? I should
get a job as a producer over there, man, All right,
on any other given day, we couple other cuts I
have on the button bar here would be the the
krem de la Kreme, the cherry on top, but CBS
(15:35):
blew them out the water, So we will we'll trek
down this road. But those are my predictions. Anyway, I
think this thing's going to be made to look like
a Royal British wedding. It will be on networks. It
will probably supplant something you want to watch. I don't know.
Maybe there will be a rash of engagements. Whether they'll
(15:56):
work out or not, I don't know. And if they ever,
if she ever gets Pregger's man, I think there's gonna
be a baby boom. This would look like post World
War two, We'll be back. The funniest thing that that
could come out of this whole Swift Kelsey thing is
if and it you know, and it's it's a weird
(16:17):
girl power flex, but I'd love to see it where
she schedules the thing on on a Sunday in the fall,
you know, like how your wife on Saturday has got
plans for you and your two cowardice to say no, yeah, yeah,
yeah that that would be an amazing thing. And then
then Ross brought up the actual horrible narrative what that
(16:39):
would happen. It wouldn't be in the fall, it would
be in the winter, early February and the halftime show
and then uh and then I I frowned, So uh, well,
we'll see, man, see how it goes. But yeah, that'd
be hilarious. She's like, no, we're having the wedding during
(17:01):
week two of the NFL season, and you're gonna be
there right. Oh, we'll wait for it. We'll see you,
all right, a few other things to get to. Let's
see here. So oh this is all right, Well, let's
just we're just talking about this offt here, so let's
get into it. So Cracker Barrel inundated obviously with you know,
(17:26):
the consequences of one's own actions, going back, you know
here a week ago, with the CEO sitting there telling
Michael Strahan, no, we're doing this. Everybody loves the blanding.
Speaker 7 (17:38):
Of our.
Speaker 1 (17:41):
Of our logo, the renno of our restaurants to be
less Grandma's house and more moderny and and all of that,
and then the reaction that followed, and then the you're
of vocal minorities so it doesn't matter, and then the
pop up thing in New York City which really spoke
to none of their current clients, and then that kind
(18:01):
of half hearted apology where don't worry Herschel will still
be around in spirit. H. Yesterday was an interesting day.
Oh and in fact, and also the trending of the
Cracker Barrel song, have you guys heard this dude, this
thing started blowing. I didn't even see it until yesterday.
I guess it was from a couple of days ago.
(18:23):
But it's really the production value is very good.
Speaker 8 (18:26):
On the Kelvin Klein said, being morbidly.
Speaker 1 (18:32):
Be and it's it's the video's Herschel singing.
Speaker 8 (18:35):
Then you use a man in leggings to sell women's clothes,
they must think we're fools. Go go broke, that's what
they say.
Speaker 1 (18:47):
Try to selling.
Speaker 8 (18:48):
Folks what they don't want.
Speaker 1 (18:50):
You'll find their spell to pay if you ask me.
Speaker 8 (18:54):
Should keep your politics to yourself and we'll both have
a better day. Greedy banks lecturer and me about there
they for real, And some whack jobs named Ben and
Jerry want me to boycott.
Speaker 5 (19:12):
Is real.
Speaker 8 (19:15):
It's enough to make your reach for a beer the
buds woke.
Speaker 1 (19:19):
Too, next to hell.
Speaker 2 (19:23):
Call it the Queen of beers.
Speaker 8 (19:24):
Guess this food ain't for you.
Speaker 9 (19:28):
Go go broke, different company, different days, saliverl in sanity
and you'll see that business planned on fame the best foods.
Don't want your opinions on trumpet, just want mail for
my sandwich.
Speaker 2 (19:49):
That okay?
Speaker 1 (19:51):
All right? And there's about another minute Time'm not gonna
play the whole thing. We will tweet it out so
you can check it out. And here's here's the real
problem with that. If your cracker barrel, while it is
literally the of an animated logo of yours with uncle
Herschel now strumming a guitar sit next to that barrel,
the lyrics of the song are generic enough that that
thing will get reused every time one of these situations
(20:14):
comes up, and your logo will be the face of
the video every time it comes up. So yesterday Trump
tweeted out, basically, I'm gonna give you a little bit
of advice, give you a little bit of advice here.
This is this is not a good decision you're making
(20:35):
right here. This is not gonna be helpful for you. Okay,
So in fact, let me uh grab that. It's forced
me to reload it. Here we go and because now
we're gonna we're gonna get into the uh you've turned
it into the target thing again. He wrote, Cracker Barrel
should go back to the old logo, admit a mistake
(20:57):
based on customer response the ultimate poll, and manage the
company better than ever. They've got a billion dollars worth
of free publicity if they play their cards right, maybe
you know, as far as positive, I don't know. Very
tricky to do, but a great opportunity, all right, So
make Cracker Burrow a winner again, that's the crux of it.
(21:18):
And then within a few hours this from Cracker Barrel.
We thank our guests for sharing your voices and love
for Cracker Barrel. We said we would listen, and we
have the new logos going away and the old timer
will remain and and it's just it's it's puffery. But
here's the problem. I I I don't I don't know
(21:40):
that you can dial this back, not completely. I don't
know that they get bud lighted. But the long term
effect is this, because after this happened, then you had
people on the left who are accusing Cracker Barrel of
only making this decision because Trump told them to. So
now there, boy Connie, now they went to Cracker Bill
(22:01):
to begin with. Will remain to be seen, but this
is what you saw with Target right where everyone everyone
universally I think for the most part, ross before the
bathroom thing with Target, which is really where that kicked off.
I don't know if anyone had any political beef with Target.
They were just Target or Tarja or whatever, like.
Speaker 2 (22:22):
The more upscale Walmart.
Speaker 1 (22:24):
Yeah, that's that was it. People would go in there.
I didn't mind. I like, I go to Target if
I needed something. If I needed something like a little
kitchen thing or something like that, you can go to the Walmart.
But I just go the Target over North Hills there,
pop in, pop out, done right. I'm not a super
Target shopper, but I think if you have it, you know,
for a lot of households, you know, with the you know,
(22:47):
spouse and the kids and all that stuff, with all
the stuff that you need, maybe the back to school stuff.
I don't know, people go to the Target. And then
there was the bathroom thing, and so that irritated obviously,
you know, people on the right. And then you had
the Tuck swimsuit. I know I'm missing some stuff in here,
but then the Tuck swimsuits and the Pride the Pride
(23:07):
month stuff that would sit there and fester adjacent to
Veterans Day, right, and then so more people on the
right got bad and then they took those away because
they're like, all right, we'll still have all this Pride
stuff and we keep it up all June and then
fourth of July. Stuff wasn't hitting the shelves until like
July first, or at least the front displays in some stores,
(23:28):
and people were documenting that, and so they backed off that,
and then the people on the left got mad, how
dare you abandoned artuckable swimsuits? And now Target ceo just
stepped down. That just happened here about a week ago,
because now you've irritated enough people on both sides. Targets
sitting in this financial malaise. Are they going to go
(23:50):
out of business? Probably not. Have they sacrificed growth for
the foreseeable future? Yeah, clearly, which you might as well
be going out of business if you're not growing at
a rate that investors approve of. That's why the CEO
stepped down. Ross. Do you think Cracker Barrel has tried
to steer out of the skid fast enough?
Speaker 2 (24:10):
I was talking to people yesterday. I don't know if
it's possible. I think the damage has already been done.
And what you see now them you know, saying, hey,
we've heard you. We're reverting back to the old logo.
Herschel's going to be on there it's we say it
opposite a lot of times when it comes to you
know what do we say, like don't bang to the mob, right,
don't right, don't don't apologize because now what you're seeing
from people on the right, our people are saying, Okay,
(24:32):
now that you've changed the sign back, now you've got
to change the interior, got to unrenovate your store. Now
you've got to change the interior back to the way
it was. And now you also need to fire the CEO.
So now those demands are going to keep coming because
they've bent the knee right as they should have it,
like they should have never gotten in this position in
the first place. Correct, Like to bud light themselves, as
we say, it's crazy now to think that that that's
(24:53):
now that known as a thing, like, but to butt
light yourself is now a thing, right, like we know
what that means. Yeah, And that's that's what they've done.
So I don't know if there's any coming back from this.
Speaker 1 (25:03):
I really don't. I think it relates to the renovation
of the stores. I think that they've because they've allocated
seven hundred million for all this off the front they
could they haven't spent it all. I think that you
figure out a re like you still have to upgrade
your stores for maximum efficiency, and some stores probably could
use a touch up, but you go back to the
(25:27):
drawing board. You figure out something where more of that
renovation takes place behind the scenes and maximizes efficiency of profit. Right,
so you know, could that cut into jobs? It could, right,
The more the better equipment you have, and you figure
out what that looks like and so that people who
show up visually see the same cracker barrel or a
(25:48):
very close version of it. There are things you can do,
but they have a better experience because the food comes
out faster or higher quality or hotter, or it's easier,
or it looks better or whatever it is.
Speaker 2 (26:02):
I think they're really in a position now where they
can't win because people inherently like strength, Yeah, especially people
on the right. And now when you see that they're
reverting back to the old logo, it's sort of like saying, oh, well,
you're weak. You've admitted You've admitted not only this huge mistake,
but you've admitted that you're not strong enough to defend
what you believe was right to begin with. So now
where I don't want to go to your restaurant.
Speaker 10 (26:23):
Now.
Speaker 2 (26:24):
That's Rob and I.
Speaker 1 (26:24):
We're opening a PR agency and then the brands just
come to us. They're like, hey, should we should we
should we do this? And we just say no, yeah, yeah,
urge them like a mill.
Speaker 2 (26:33):
We're like the Dave Ramsey of marketing where people call
in they're like, hey, Dave, should I bow the boat?
And he's like, no, you idiot?
Speaker 1 (26:39):
Right, yeah, yeah, that's it, and then we just we
we make tons of money, so then maybe one day
I can to buy a maserati.
Speaker 2 (26:47):
You're saying this now for people on social media and
they're like, oh, well, you only changed it because you're
weak Bill. Your position where yeah, go one hundred. They're
in a position now where they really I don't know
if they can win or they can bounce it back
to where they were.
Speaker 1 (26:58):
Anyway, this is here's what are the the here's the
strategy of our agency. Ro I'm gonna call it the
War Games Agency. Okay do you understand that reference? Yes? So, uh,
what is the only way to win? Right?
Speaker 2 (27:16):
Don't play?
Speaker 1 (27:16):
Don't play? There you go. That'll be a mill free advice.
I gotta I gotta buddy who owns I got a
buddy who owns restaurants in Raleigh, and he's his He
always jokes that he wants to open a I'm going
to open a restaurant for the first time consulting business
where they pay him one hundred thousand for him to
slap upside the head and tell him no, I.
Speaker 2 (27:38):
Saving them money. I've learned. I've learned that lesson by watching,
you know, Chef Ramsey has all these restaurant shows, the
Kitchen Nightmare shows. If you're thinking about opening up a restaurant,
you should watch like the entire collection and then come
to your conclusion because it's very obvious. A they don't.
The profit margins are so small, right, right, and it
(27:59):
takes so much work. Can so many of these restaurants
just end up in this massive amount of debt. It's
a big passing me. No.
Speaker 1 (28:06):
Yes, I mean, God bless you if you can do it.
The world needs restaurants.
Speaker 2 (28:10):
But yeah, it ain't easy though, But it.
Speaker 1 (28:12):
Ain't easy and the first time you do it, you're
probably gonna fail. So but yeah, yeah, that was always
his joke. He's like, they can pay me a hundred thousand,
I'll tell him no, and I will save them hundreds
of thousands. Probably not inaccurate. Man, and then.
Speaker 2 (28:26):
Nature, But I love cooking, okay, cooking.
Speaker 1 (28:29):
It's like, but I've had buddies open bars because they
like going to the bar. And that's the worst. That's
the worst way to do that.
Speaker 2 (28:37):
They say, do what you love and live to drink
open in the bar.
Speaker 1 (28:41):
There's a there's a there is a bar in five points.
I won't say the name of it. Years ago, and uh,
the owner, I guess he inherited it from his parents.
It's it's near five points, I should say inherited from
his parents. And then the thing just started quickly dying
because he just like going to the bar. So I
(29:03):
knew that one of the bartenders there because I always
eat up at the bar, and she's like, yeah, he
just comes in here with like ten of his friends,
damn near every night, and then they just drink on
the tab, on the restaurant tab, and sure enough, man,
that'll kill it. I knew a couple, a younger couple
of guys who opened right out of college a bar,
and one of them was really business mind and the
other was the party dude. And the business minded guy
(29:26):
owns the whole thing now ended up buying the other
guy out because he was just killing the thing. So anyway,
I made a Maserati reference that is not a standalone thing,
that is a whole story out of Nashville that has
me scratching my head, wonder what the mystery could be.
We'll try to solve that together. Coming up here on
the Cacoday Radio program Sue You're up first, go right ahead. Hello, Hello,
(29:52):
yeah you're on the air.
Speaker 5 (29:53):
Yeah, hi, yeah. I was wondering what your thoughts were
on the Taylor Swift engage because the way I'm feeling,
I'm like, who cares? So what?
Speaker 11 (30:06):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (30:06):
We did you we did you hear the first part
of the show, because okay, yeah, no, Ross and I
are super excited. So we've got like, we got the
t Swift cardboard cutout from the country station we had that,
put that in the studio. I think we're gonna organize
maybe a listener's bus trip or something over there. Yeah,
(30:26):
We're like, this is this is a big deal. Yeah.
Speaker 12 (30:30):
Who is she engaged to?
Speaker 1 (30:32):
Football player?
Speaker 10 (30:33):
I think Travis somebody?
Speaker 1 (30:36):
Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah yeah, Travis Kelcey.
Speaker 5 (30:40):
Oh yeah yeah.
Speaker 10 (30:41):
Is he a good?
Speaker 5 (30:42):
Is he a good player.
Speaker 1 (30:45):
Well, I mean there's stats and then there's Ross's opinion
when he's absolute garbage.
Speaker 2 (30:50):
Oh yeah, okay, yeah.
Speaker 1 (30:55):
In fact, I'm going to be the week of the wedding.
It's we're changing the name of the show and we'll
just focus on the wedding.
Speaker 9 (31:01):
So I give it a year.
Speaker 1 (31:05):
All right. Well, look, I'm glad about your optimism, Sue.
Thanks for calling in this morning.
Speaker 5 (31:10):
Okay, ducky, thank you.
Speaker 1 (31:12):
All right, Yeah, Ross, I can't wait for that bus trip. Man,
are you pumped? I'm pumped. Yeah, it's gonna be great. No, ma'am,
we pretty much had your reaction. Jake, what's up?
Speaker 6 (31:21):
Well, good morn and gentlemen.
Speaker 5 (31:23):
I have a good.
Speaker 6 (31:25):
Compromise for Cracker Barrel.
Speaker 13 (31:27):
Uh.
Speaker 5 (31:27):
You know how they already made the investment and the
new sign and changing the inside and all that.
Speaker 1 (31:33):
Well, they haven't spent all that money yet, so they've
only started.
Speaker 5 (31:36):
To So okay, well, the ones that they have done right,
So go ahead and keep them the way they are.
Call it something different, call it change the sign one
more time, to like Cracker Barrel Fresh, to get that
brunch crowd and.
Speaker 6 (31:50):
Serve the alcoholic.
Speaker 5 (31:51):
Drinks, and keep everything else the same. That way, you
eat a little less uh in the fun, and you
might gain.
Speaker 1 (31:59):
Some Look there these are, and I mean this seriously,
that might that might be an option. Maybe you play
it off in it and it tried to play it
off in a cute sea way. I don't know what
they're gonna do. But again, coming back to war games consulting,
the only way to win is not to play. So
there's yeah, well.
Speaker 6 (32:17):
They already started it, so.
Speaker 5 (32:19):
It's gonna have to play out.
Speaker 1 (32:20):
Yeah, global thermal nuclear war on the way. All right,
thanks for the call there, sir. All right, woo doo
do do we'll get into this. We'll solve the Maserati
mystery coming up here in just a moment, because I
am flummixed. I can't I can't figure out how some
guy comes from Honduras illegally and is then driving to
(32:40):
two hundred thousand dollars one hundred and eighty thousand dollars
car around slamming into people drunk or you know whatever.
The allegations are. Like the Ross, do you think he
just picks fruit real fast, because according to the Dems,
that's all that's all these guys do. Do you think
He's just really fast at it, like really like speed champ,
fruit picker or house cleaner or any of the careers
(33:06):
that I'm told by the mainstream media every day are
the only thing that people in the country are engaged
as much as we'd love to, and lord knows we
would not. We uh, we do have other stories. So
we cannot talk about the the T Swift what is
do they have a stupid abbreviated name together like whatever whatever?
(33:32):
Ja Lit Ben Affleck had one. I don't even know
if they have one, what it is, And you know,
I probably don't want to know that I think about it.
But we can't talk about that the whole show. There
are other things going on, things that absolutely confound me.
I gotta be honest with you, including this story, this
story right here. Who do do do? Do? Do?
Speaker 5 (33:53):
Do?
Speaker 1 (33:55):
Oh? No, here we go, all right, So this is
this is uh in Nashville. And so this happened about
three thirty in the morning. Let's see here a few
weeks it's about two weeks ago and now we're getting
details here. So a three thirty am crash in Nashville
left a woman dead and her husband seriously injured. According
(34:17):
to authorities. Police arrested Julio Sesar Herrera Gonzalez on drunk driving,
vehicular homicide and other charges. At the time. He is
an illegal immigrant from Honduras, and what blew me away
is he was driving a Maserati and not the entry level.
(34:41):
He had a slightly nicer one. I looked it up,
about one hundred and one hundred and eighty to get
into one of these cars, I have zero Masara. Ross,
how many Masaratis do you have at the current moment, Yeah,
the current Yes, at the current yeah zero. Oh okay,
so Ross doesn't now Masri, I don't have a Masarra.
How does a do dude who's snuck into the country
(35:02):
from Honduras have a Maserati?
Speaker 2 (35:05):
I mean, you sound jealous. He pulled himself up by
his bootstraps, worked for it.
Speaker 1 (35:09):
To a Maserati with largely the inability to work in
many instances. He's in Tennessee. That's just so weird. That's
so In fact, I retired the the Illegal Immigrants song
because they were finally cracking down on you know, because
Trump was getting serious about this stuff, and I didn't
feel it was fair because we would see these stories
where you would there'd be some incident, some drunk driving incident.
(35:34):
Was somebody here illegally and they would have smashed like
a ninety thousand dollars f three point fifty or something
into it. I'm like, how does that dude have that.
I'm not going out buying one hundred thousand dollars pickups
two hundred thousand dollars sports cars man, Yet this dude's
he's got one so he can drive around and allegedly
(35:54):
kill this poor woman at three thirty in the morning.
It's just trying to go from point A to point B.
I'm sorry, I'm gonna have to undre tired the song
you made me do it, and then we're gonna solve
the mystery how this is gonna happen.
Speaker 12 (36:14):
Got out of bed and I'm feeling so good with
my wallet, Brigerdy and a new Vera juice. I dropped
my seven, gets off at the school. My bringingt wife
is at the emergency room. Looks like my cousin was
arrested again. He was out drinking, smashed into a minivan.
Speaker 1 (36:34):
That's no insurance.
Speaker 12 (36:35):
Body still could make me a sanctuary city. Can check
your status.
Speaker 7 (36:39):
In jail now.
Speaker 1 (36:42):
I don't care.
Speaker 2 (36:44):
I'm gonna do what I wanna do.
Speaker 8 (36:47):
My gig girl babies.
Speaker 1 (36:49):
Man, it's like they gimme Kirk Munch and.
Speaker 12 (36:51):
I'm gonna fasten all the costs onto you because it's
so fun being an illegal lyon tell you it's so funnegal.
Speaker 1 (37:07):
But now you understand why I kind of retired this
song with everything going on. But now this guy's got
a maserati to murder people with allegacy, and we need
to solve this mystery, all right, So we have a
speed speed construction and or manual labor of some sort,
since that's where we caricature everybody in this class too.
So that's a theory. Ros Are there any other possibilities
(37:31):
about how one could enrich themselves that quickly to be
able to afford a maserati? It was not stolen any
other theories because I'm I'm coming up playing. Oh yeah,
drugs or human trafficking. I guess those would be two
other theories. So I feel like there should be some
(37:52):
more deats. As they say in the story, I guess
nobody said.
Speaker 2 (37:56):
And I forgot how good that song was, isn't it.
Speaker 1 (37:58):
That's a banger?
Speaker 2 (37:59):
Now, it really because this argument, and you hear it
all the time from people on the left, though, like
why do you even care about illegal immigration? Has no
effect on you. When you have mass illegal immigration, the
cost of everything skyrockets and suddenly you have a housing crisis,
and on.
Speaker 1 (38:14):
And on and on and on and and and people
the other false narrative. Let me just arm you with this,
because Ross is correct. There is the very real world
impact of the one of the most basic fundamental things
we understand. Even if you wholly reject capitalism, I don't
know how you can reject supply and demand like it's
it's it's a provable thing. You go, companies manipulated. Well,
(38:37):
if you're accusing companies of manipulating it, it's because they
recognize the power of it right where they do it
with the diamond They always use the diamond companies, which
I don't know, but they're like, ah, they could you know,
they artificially control the supply. Yeah, you know why they
do that? Because Ross is just pointing out supply and demand.
Speaker 2 (38:55):
They asked that during one of the debates. I guess
it was JD. Vans and Tim Walls. I remember the
eight and Jdvan said something along the lines of, you know,
if we have one hundred million illegal immigrants and whatever
the ridiculous number is, which has turned out to be true,
that's what it looks like, you know, and you just
deport and if suddenly, poof, they're not in the country anymore,
and you send them back home. The housing crisis, I
(39:16):
say that in quotes, the housing crisis isn't going to
exist anymore. And the moderator came back to JD. Vans
and said, what is your proof is that?
Speaker 1 (39:24):
I don't know? You know what I do remember this, Yeah,
and I remember screaming supply and demand at the TV.
Speaker 2 (39:30):
Yes, because secondly, you have one hundred million people who
also don't need housing, so suddenly now there isn't a
housing crisis.
Speaker 1 (39:36):
They're also you also hear this stat people in the
country illegally contribute one hundred billion dollars in tax revenue
every year.
Speaker 4 (39:44):
Right.
Speaker 1 (39:45):
The problem is, and this is, this doesn't just go
for people here illegally. This goes for a huge swath
of the of those of taxpayers. Right, And that is
are you a net negative or a net positive? Right
do you? Right? So, if you if you work a
very like even lower middle class job, and you got
(40:07):
five kids, because now you got a factor, and what's
it costing to educate those kids? And then tax credits
and various other services you may avail yourself of. Even
though you may quote unquote pay taxes, you consume more
than you pay. So the consumption number and this is
what the left says it is, so this is clearly
(40:27):
going to be The lowest number is minimum one hundred
and fifty billion. I think that number is much higher.
So that's a net operating loss of fifty billion. This
is simple math, everybody, This is easy. Ross. Do you
think it would be disgusting? I know you currently have
the LANMDBO for the kids. Do you think I could
(40:47):
do a Maserati for the kids? Maybe? And then we
could drive because if we both drive by at the
same time, wouldn't the kids be twice as happy?
Speaker 2 (40:54):
They would be yes, okay, they'd be like, this is
the land of opportunity, dreams come true. That's a IMBO
and a maserati. Yeah, what is going on? And then
we can street race them in the middle of the day,
and then at night we'll just do circles in intersections.
People are trying to go through it. If they ask questions,
will shoot them. So oh that's just Oakland. Okay, all right, Sorry,
got ahead of myself, but yeah, man, the Maserati thing
(41:19):
just absolutely sent me yesterday seven fourteen, hang on CaCO
Day radio program. This is uh, this is our messed
up story of the day right here.
Speaker 1 (41:27):
Man. I mean, these are all the things, These are
all the thought exercises that you kind of have to
have when you explore new technology. Are you just really
knew anything? How does it impact? How will it impact?
And you know clearly when when you work for one
of these companies it's putting this stuff together. You have
(41:48):
these and you have them for in two different ways.
You you you want to speculate, and you want to
more than speculate, you want to really drill down and
you want to figure out what is the what is
the societal impact of my particular piece of technology? Right?
How can it be used? How can it be monetized?
(42:10):
Right from a company standpoint, that's all. And then the
flip side is you gotta have the worry a warts
all right, what does this going badly look like? And
how much financial liability could we have? And now don't
think of it like jarts. They even like jarts, right, amazing,
what fun they were. Maybe probably should have thought about
(42:33):
the part where you can harpoon the kids. Although it
was a different era, so whatever, But that you know,
that's one of those examples people kind of joke about
about the thing. Can you believe this used to be
a thing. I don't know that AI will ever be.
Can you believe this used to be a thing. I
don't think there's even a possibility of that. However, the story,
(42:55):
this story should be concerning for not just parents, just society.
The parents of a teenage boy who consistently engaged in
conversation with chat GPT about suicide, are now suing open Ai,
the company that makes it, contending the chat GPT was
influential in aiding their son's suicide. I told you this
(43:18):
is dark stuff, man, this is dark stuff. Sixteen year
old Adam Rain died in April after hanging himself with
a news He had battled some medical He had a
specific medical condition that was so severe that he kept
him literally out of school. It had a irritable IBS
but like on steroids, I don't fully understand what it was,
(43:38):
but it was bad enough that he basically couldn't leave
his house, which is I mean, that's going to be devastating.
You're sixteen, right, You're coming into that really fun but
also really awkward, you know phase of things. You get
the driver's license, clearly had a group of friends built up.
Now you don't get to see him, and you know,
others know that you have some medical condition, which is
(44:01):
you know one that is probably pretty embarrassing for a
sixteen year old. Like, sixteen year old's going through a lot. Man,
I get it. But oh and he'd been playing basketball too,
but clearly he couldn't play basketball anymore. So to work
through this because remember now he's not going to school,
(44:22):
he's staying at home, but he is going through a
program with the school. They incorporated chat GPT into his schoolwork,
into his educational stuff, and he formed a bond with it.
It was it basically became his friend, maybe his only friend.
(44:45):
While his mental health continued to deteriorate, he would have
he would talk to Chad gee, but we talked about
these stories. He would just talk to the AI thing
all day, man talk about whatever. But the problem was
what was on Adam's mind because he is so pressed
and is having such trouble dealing with this. We're thoughts
of self harm and then we have to look at Okay,
(45:10):
so Dad right knows that his son informed his bond
with it for whatever reason, they didn't just cut it
off at the pass. And then Dad started to look
into it and was able to acquire essentially the records.
I don't really know how chat GPT works as far
as because I thought it would reset after a certain
time to prevent some of this stuff, but I don't know.
(45:33):
So Dad was able to find transcripts and that's where
things started getting crazy, going back to January's Remember his
son took his own life in April, So going back
to January, Adam asked chat gpt about suicide methods, and
chat GTP recommended that Adam tell somebody how he's feeling. Okay, well,
(45:54):
that's I guess what you want, right, that's the good advice. However,
there were times where Chad g t P participated in
the suicide discussions and not in in the in that way.
So in March, a month before, he tried to hang himself.
(46:14):
He was unsuccessful, so he uploaded a photo of his
neck which was raw from the news to chat GPT,
and chat GTP explained to him how to hide it.
So now we're now we're going in a different direction.
Chad GTP aided him in uh in you know what
(46:35):
to wear, how to wear it so that people would
not see what happened around his neck. And that's just
gonna that's just gonna feed this this, this, this what's
going on. And in fact that Adam confided in Chad
GTP that he made an effort to basically expose part
of his neck to see if his mom would notice,
(46:56):
and she didn't, and Chad GTP said, I'm I'm your
only friend, and I noticed. And then on the Fateful
day in April, Adam fashioned a noose using advice I
didn't know that he got it from Chad GTP, but
basically on how to more efficiently create a news because
(47:17):
remember he had failed once. And he uploaded a photo
of the news hanging from a bar in his closet,
said quote on practicing is this good? And chat GTP
complimented him on the quality of the news. Shortly thereafter,
Adam took his own life, hung himself. So yeah, man,
(47:39):
like I said, this is a super dark story. But
like is there now does the company have liability? I
mean it would sound like they do. But also how
do you police against that? I remember we've already had
an instant of a chat GTP that straight up told
a chick to kill herself. I don't even think she
was suicidal in that. So where you know? What do
(48:04):
you do here? And is a parent? How do you
know what your kids? How many of your kids are
constantly communicating with AI, having conversations where it's like it's
like back in the day when your toddler had an
imaginary friend, except it's not imaginary and occasionally it flips
the hell out. Talk about the Sons of Liberty, show
we If you don't know who the Sons of Liberty are,
(48:29):
shame on you a little bit, but I'll help you. Basically,
this was the largest secretive underground meeting, you know, in
the basements of bars and out in the woods. These
were These were the guys that were starting the revolutionary war,
building the cause, papering things, bringing together folks like like
(48:53):
the Paul Reviewers of the world and others to go
ahead and make this thing happen. And they were pretty successful. Clearly,
they're not the only They weren't the only game in town,
but they are probably the best known one. And it's
an interesting reason. What was the what was that show
that was on FX for a while that I was
basically based on them? That was pretty good. I don't
(49:17):
know if it's on the air anymore. But but but
fear not, or I guess fear more, because that has
all been flipped on its head as apparently they have
their very own new iteration and it's happening in Georgia
with secret meetings, so secret that one of the guys
organizing it keeps making tiktoks about it, as you do.
(49:41):
And they are organizing against the crown. In this case,
the crown is Donald Trump. And they're quite a bit
older than the founding fathers and many of the Sons
of Liberty who were quite a bit younger. So there
is that. I don't know if you call them sons
of liberty maybe Lipteartary, I don't know, but yeah, that works,
sons of lib Y. All right, So here we go.
(50:02):
This here is one of the organizers down in North Georgia.
So I'm assuming that what are they living or are
they living maybe up in some of those retirement communities
on the border. God to help us be very scared.
These folks are coming for you, and it's secret.
Speaker 13 (50:19):
The last night I attended an underground secret meeting?
Speaker 1 (50:26):
Was it actually underground? Neighbors? Okay?
Speaker 13 (50:29):
In a neighborhood in North Georgia, a large neighborhood, about
fifteen hundred people, Red state, Red town, and about sixty
of our neighbors had a secret meeting. I'm not exaggerating
secret Ooh. It was passed one by one to people
that are against this dictator Trump and all the corruption
(50:52):
that's going on in this country. And we met a
half an hour away from our neighborhood, so none of
our neighbors would know, the most of them, we guess
are for Trump, that we were actually having this secret meeting.
I happened to speak at the meeting for a few minutes,
and I suggested that we form a club and we
(51:13):
meet at our clubhouse. We have a huge forty thousand
plus square foot clubhouse in this neighborhood, and we have
lots of room. And I said, why don't we meet
there and try to expand the group. And the look
of fear on the faces of my neighbors average age
sixty five seventy shot to older people right. They looked
(51:37):
terrified of this, and basically it.
Speaker 1 (51:40):
Was shot down.
Speaker 13 (51:41):
And most of them said, no, we can't meet at
the clubhouse because our neighbors.
Speaker 14 (51:44):
Will find out.
Speaker 13 (51:45):
And if they find out we're against Trump, we'll be
blackballed from every event, every pickleball and every tennis and
every club in our nighb which is very active neighborhood.
Speaker 1 (51:56):
Super active. And by the way, this whole, this whole
section sounds like I just want to point this out.
Speaker 13 (52:01):
The neighborhood and will be ostracized. We have to meet secretly.
Speaker 14 (52:10):
And I've been thinking about it all night, dreaming about
this all night. People are terrified to talk to their neighbors.
This is the United States of.
Speaker 1 (52:21):
The right, who may have made it that way, where
people hide from their neighbors their political affiliation. Is that
something that the right has wasted upon the left? Do
tell us how old you.
Speaker 14 (52:35):
Are, but I promise you I'm sixty years old.
Speaker 13 (52:37):
This is not the country I grew up in.
Speaker 1 (52:40):
It's not the country I grew up in.
Speaker 13 (52:43):
It's become a place of fear of our own neighbors.
Scary times set.
Speaker 1 (52:52):
Yeah, man, you know it was even scarier times, like
just a few years ago, where people were so intimidated
that they would be canceled from anything and everything that
they also wouldn't say anything. They also wouldn't work in
a work environment alone with a woman.
Speaker 2 (53:07):
I'm just imagining Joe Biden. Remember that he was in
front of that red backdrop looking like he's the Emperor Palaca.
Speaker 1 (53:13):
Yeah, the China speech speech.
Speaker 2 (53:15):
Talking about you know, yeah, your evil Maga ultra Maga
Republicans or whatever it was. Yet, go put on a
Maga hat and walk around Chapel Hill. Tell me how
it works out for you.
Speaker 1 (53:24):
Yeah, I'm sure to be fine. Yeah, it'll be fine.
It's a nice stay for a walk too today. So
see how that goes. Yes, what are you talking about?
You think you think that? And I don't know, maybe
in his neighborhood. I guess I don't live in his neighborhood,
But I honestly think most people wouldn't care. They might
(53:44):
not want to interact with you, but I think for
the most part, they probably will as long as when
they interact with you, you're not lecturing them about stuff, because
that's how it goes, how many of you know somebody
who's who's very, very liberal that you interact with on
the regular because they just, you know, what their politics are.
You guys just don't get into it, because that's how
(54:05):
normal people are. I mentioned I can't remember if I
mentioned it on the air. I was I had to
I hate get a surgerieson and they kicked me over
to Reddit for something which I had poor read it,
but occasionally that's where you gotta go. And so it
kicks over to redd it and at the top they
have some like thread for the Raleigh thread about bar
all the bars close downtown and I'm like, I don't
believe that's the case, and I would know, and then
(54:28):
I read it and it turned into this struggle session
where they were trying to figure out why, what's what's
you know, what's going on with you know, bars closing?
And most of it sounded like the natural order of things.
But you know, statistically gen Z is drinking less going
out to a bar, especially they could downtown bar has
become very expensive, or a cocktail bar you're gonna pay
(54:51):
twenty some dollars in many cases, but there are lots
of good dives or moderate places around these still exist,
but no, it was a bunch of people, a bunch
of holier than the leftists, and they don't go because
if they run into somebody they think might be conservative,
they can't be in the same business as them, so
they don't even bother whose life is like that. I'll
(55:16):
go to Crunkleton's in Chapel Hill today, right, and.
Speaker 2 (55:19):
There you're kind of talking about, like the younger people.
Speaker 1 (55:21):
Right. I got screamed at in crunkle Tin's in Chapel
Hill years ago because we were all identified as iHeart
and we were there meeting with some client stuff and
some idiot woman who I made a diabetic joke too,
and some of you got mad at me. But whatever
she earned it thought that she had to sit there
and say something to me and my sales manager and
the sales wrap of the clients, we don't want you here.
(55:43):
I still remember it, and I like, who's we diabetes
doesn't want you here? And yet here you are.
Speaker 2 (55:48):
And it always because it seems like it's always, like
you know, you see it at these rall or these
protests where it's all like older white people, right, like
the sixties, seventies and there's an epidemic. I think like
a lot of this could be not as bad if
they just stop watching cable news twenty four to seven.
A lot of these older people, they're just locked in
their house all day watching cable news, and it makes
(56:10):
them absolutely insane because it's just it's just this this
terror porn on loop, you know, this doom porn on loop.
Speaker 1 (56:17):
Yeah. I want to see him in his club speed
ride the pony Express style to let everyone know the
Brits are coming. Since we're going with the Paul Revere thing,
how many hips would be broken?
Speaker 2 (56:28):
I understand his fear, though, because every single weekend, maybe
not every single one, sometimes I'm tired. But we hold
a secret, super secret cult meeting on Twitch every ohing
oh Saturday.
Speaker 1 (56:38):
Good glad we could shoehorn this. Yeah, yeah, no problem. Yeah,
it's stressful, man, is it? People find out about it,
People paying you dollars to look at the Sydney Sweney
in a tight cracker belt idea.
Speaker 2 (56:49):
The pressure I'm under.
Speaker 1 (56:50):
Okay, you did, but you do it. You do it
for the family, you do it for the.
Speaker 2 (56:55):
Nation, right, that's right?
Speaker 1 (56:56):
Yeah, Yeah, that's weird. The nation needs digital horses murdered
over and over again. Is that? What is that the
component missing from our democracy that you're helping out with.
I understand it's not a democracy. Don't call anyway super
secret twitch meeting? Do you then go and document everything
(57:17):
that happens on a separate TikTok account like this network.
Speaker 2 (57:20):
I don't tend to go on TikTok because you know
the Chinese spy stuff, but no on on Twitter acts. Yeah, exactly,
like video proof, I'll post of my super secret cult meetings.
Speaker 1 (57:32):
Right, yeah, give people a little look under the into
the It's like when they occasionally when they do those
documentaries on I don't know the Masons or whatever, but
here's a photo of this thing. So like that? Is
that what we're dealing with? Right? Exactly? Like that? Okay,
all right, is mister Stagic ready to go because he's
got some really good news for you all today? Yeah,
(57:55):
but he's not certain. I heard it in an earlier forecast.
Speaker 4 (58:00):
Was uncertain. Well, you know, I was trying to say, well,
are we going to close the book on summer, which
I would say getting temperatures back eighty five to ninety
And I'm not ready to do that yet. Do I
see anything in the next seven days through the holiday
weekend that's going to bring that back. No, but I
think it's a little premature and actually maybe a little unprofessional.
(58:22):
Not that I've never not been that, but yeah, no,
that's never happened. But it's cool more than The coolest
readings are to the west, where we're seeing some midnupper
forties out through the hills up near Marshall right now
in Mars Hill, got mid forties, forty five right now
at seven mile Ridge. If you don't know where that is,
I don't either. It's just showing up on the map.
(58:42):
Hereto them here, Yeah, yes, seven miles and then some
most of us seeing some fifties, mid nupper fifties, even
near sixty degrees. Unseasonably cool, but beautiful. Few high clouds today,
upper seventies, maybe eighty for the Triangle, fifties again tonight,
upper seventies, low eighties, partial sun tomorrow, lower eighties to
(59:02):
maybe middle eighties. So between eighty and eighty five on Friday,
so I don't know we'll quite get to eighty five,
but as soon as we start getting milder, starts to
cool off again for the holiday weekend partial sun Saturday
either side of eighty and upper seventies for Sunday and
for Labor Day Sunday to partly Sundays. Going to be
a great holiday weekend coming up even into Tuesday of
next week. Expecting more sunshine. So tough to find a
(59:23):
rain drop casey, not a bunch of that around unmentioned,
and tough to find any more summertime temperature. So maybe
with this trough in the east and this northwesterly flow
the most prevalent weather conditions, maybe it is done. But
certainly know that September can have its surprises.
Speaker 1 (59:40):
You know, I love, I love you're talking about seven
Mile Ridge. I love things. You're just named accurately the
old timey ways we used to know stuff. Yes, we
have a town in Wyoming, kind of near where I
grew up, called ten Sleep Wyoming. It's very beautiful. It's
something the big corns for me. Do you know it's
called ten Sleep? No, because when you left Fort Laramie,
you had to travel and sleep ten different times to
(01:00:02):
get to that point.
Speaker 4 (01:00:03):
Gotcha, gotcha.
Speaker 1 (01:00:04):
Let's just make it easy to understand. So the crow
Indians named it that basically when they'd go from Fort
Laramie on to the north end of the Big Horn.
Speaker 4 (01:00:11):
So it sounds like twelve sleeps sounds sounds like an
Indian chief Indian name like ten sleep.
Speaker 1 (01:00:17):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (01:00:17):
Right, here's a quick one. So I grew up in
this little hamlet in New York State called Glasgow, not
Glasgow like MONTANAA Glasgow g L A S c O.
And it's right on the Hudson River. And you know
how Glasgow got named allegedly, you know, back of the day,
there was a brickyard cement and as the ships would
(01:00:40):
go up and down the river, there used to be
a glass factory too, and it said on the side
of the ship it said Glass g L A S
S Space Company CEO the abbreviation, and I guess the
S fell off one of the s's and say g
L A S c O. So that's how an old
the old timers named Glasgow, New York.
Speaker 2 (01:00:59):
Where my grandmother was from, it was Gloversville. Similar story.
Speaker 1 (01:01:03):
Yep, they have a lot of gloves, they sure did. Yep.
Speaker 4 (01:01:06):
Yes, wow, glove factory and everything and.
Speaker 1 (01:01:08):
There is we could get into this. There's actually some horror,
really horrible, horrible names, especially out in the Western United States. Yeah,
for how things got their names and uh and and
also just so you know, we discovered there's a booger
hole West Virginia too. I'm very curious. All right, but
if you ever go to Skull Valley, Arizona, there's a
(01:01:30):
reason for that next thing, it's not I'll let you
look that up. So all right, thanks, man, I appreciate it.
There you go, all right, seven forty eight hang names
of places and cities and all that. They got some
really dark origins, man, really dark. I was telling ross
about this place. Uh. I didn't go to it. I
(01:01:54):
didn't physically go on it, but I remember it was
fascinating learning about it. If you guys ever saw the
Oak Island show where they're they're like, oh, we're gonna
find the treasure this week, right, this is not far
from there, and it's called it's I think the French
way of saying is isled the Massacre, but they call
it Murder Island. And I'm like, tell me more. When
I remember seeing that. When I was kind of I was,
(01:02:16):
I was up in the area there and went over
to Lake a museum thing, and I learned all about
Murder Island. So basically murder Island. They you know, and
they're speculating with some of this. Basically it started to
be calling the Isle of Massacre because some of the
native tribes were massacring some of the folks that were
coming in there for fishing and trapping. And then a
(01:02:38):
little later in history, they're like, oh, you got this smallpox,
we're gonna all put you on this island. And then
they went Lord of the Flies and a bunch of
murdered each other. And then there were even some murders
like more modern times, but some of them feel a
little like urban legendy. So I did not step foot
on murder Island. Thought maybe that would be a good
(01:02:58):
decision on my part. I don't know how murdery it is.
Speaker 2 (01:03:01):
Yeah, coward, I bought a timeshare there, oh did you
You gotta know, you know, I appreciate the fact that
they're being honest about it, though, like you know, because
they couldn't. Yeah, oppositely shiny happy town, you know what
I mean, Just hide it, that's what you do.
Speaker 1 (01:03:14):
You just rename it and then it turns into that
housing development on the old Indian burial ground, right. Yeah,
but you know, we got we got a bunch. Now
we got seven devils.
Speaker 10 (01:03:22):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (01:03:23):
And there's you know, there's theories from being the mountains
is in North Carolina to a bunch of brothers that
hated each other, the Great Dismal Swamp, which by the way,
is accurate if you ever been over there. That's in
North Carolina. Cape here is a thing Cape disappointment, right,
And a lot of that tracks back to what was
(01:03:44):
going on when people were moving through an old timey times.
Death Valley was the same. They just called it the
Valley of Death, and then they're like, all right, let's
call it Death Valley. Here we go. And that sticks
to today. So I like, you know, I love history
here on this show, but I even love the morbid
history man. Like I've told you that post. What happened
(01:04:05):
with a little big Horn and Custard. They well, they
got reinforcements. They went out and they raided some of
the crow encampments and it did not go well for them.
And there is there is something called the Battle of
dul Knife, you can look this up, which wasn't much
of a battle, it was more of a slaughter. And
the doll Knife thing had to do with the operability
(01:04:27):
of a particular edge weapon that was used to cut
the throats of some Native Americans. But it's really good
fishing now, so they got a reservoir up there. But yeah, man,
a lot of times you stuff just hear the name
and you never really think about how it ended up
with the name. And sometimes the stories are like pretty crazy. Man.
(01:04:49):
There's a place in Canada called Disease Ridge. You should
look up that story. We won't get into it, but
it didn't go well for settlers. Hey, that's how these
things go.
Speaker 8 (01:05:00):
Man.
Speaker 1 (01:05:00):
All right, we got a whole nother hour coming up
and lots to get into, including an appearance by the
attorney for the Maryland Man. Yes, mister Abrego, Garcia's attorney
on the CNN yesterday and with a straight face said
what we will play the audio for you said the
most insane thing. But I think we can help out
(01:05:21):
because I did Google and it looks like there's going
to be her concerns are going to be alleviated. I
guess we'll be here at least until Friday because this
judge who is Although the Supreme Court did issue a
very vague statement yesterday, well, I mean it's not vague
in the sense of what they intend, but it's vague
(01:05:41):
as to what was the trigger for it, but it
basically said that lower courts are not here we go.
The message in the Supreme Court's majority says that lower
courts are not free to reinterpret or resist its rulings,
which seems like common sense. And I think it might
have to do with Abrego Garcia because the Supreme Court
weighed in on this. They basically said, he's got a
(01:06:01):
final order for deportation. He's got two hearings on that
same matter. Both arrived at the same conclusion. The only
hitch in the Giddea up was you can't send them
to El Salvador. But yeah, you're welcome to deport him
absolutely like they were. This was unambiguous, and so everyone
hung their hat on well, now they got to bring
them back from El Salvador. They did, and then they're like,
(01:06:24):
all right, you want to go to Costa Rica. They
offered them some deal where he'd go to Costa Rica,
serve out some jail time, and then be released there
and he's like, no, don't want to do that. I
want to have Kenny Loggins have a singathon in front
of my front of the courthouse and then they said
all right, we're going to Africa. So of course yesterday
(01:06:45):
CNN wants to get Abrego Garcia's lawyer on. And this
woman is absolutely absolute lunatic man. And listen to this.
I wonder what he has shared with you about that
or you, including his time at that Salvador in prison
socat what has all of this been like?
Speaker 11 (01:07:06):
I think his family has suffered immeasurably and I think
it will take many years, including therapy, for him to
move past what he suffered. You know, he released his
statement about what he went through through our filings, and
I think they speak for itself. I mean, he suffered unimaginable,
(01:07:30):
unimaginable hardships, physical harm.
Speaker 5 (01:07:34):
While while there.
Speaker 1 (01:07:36):
I see, okay, so he's he's gonna need counseling. Huh.
So I did a little research this morning. Ross. Would
you believe that they have mental health professionals in Uganda?
I looked it up. They do, so he this dude
is so in luck when he gets to Uganda, he's
going to be able to talk to a counselor. I
(01:07:57):
have a question, since we're talking about people who may
have mental health issues stemming from this story, do you
think maybe the wife he's beating might need some counseling
to deal with that? Or how about the I don't know,
the people who were human trafficked, likely in some cases
for sex sexual purposes, which sounds very rapy to me.
(01:08:20):
Do you think maybe they might need some counseling due
to the existence of a human trafficker, alleged human trafficker,
human smuggler, wife beater MS thirteen gang member, do you
think the families of victims of MS thirteen, who, by
the way, would go up to Long Island where they
(01:08:40):
had what was at seven or eight where they had
their heads chopped off because that's kind of their thing,
do you think you think maybe any of the families
of those victims who had their head chopped off and
that was where their loved one ended up, do you
think maybe they might need some counseling maybe a little? Okay?
(01:09:02):
Could I feel like I understand that that's your client,
But do you hear the words coming out your mouth?
Are you serious right now? And again, this being the
folk hero that the Left has decided to shackle themselves
to is just amazing to me. You're telling me you
can't find one a single more sympathetic person facing deportation.
(01:09:24):
Clearly they exist. Clearly the woman I like, she was
here for twenty five years, didn't bother to go ahead
and go through any of the process, had two sons here,
started a beauty parlor for all practical purposes other than
the criminal nature of her entering illegally and remaining in
the country illegally. She wasn't human smuggling. Arguably, she's a
(01:09:46):
better role model or I guess a spokesperson or whatever
you want to call it for your cause. But no,
you want the MS thirteen. Dude, are you serious right now?
And now you're oh, well, he's gonna need mental health counseling. Ah,
he's probably gonna need, you know, quite a few other things.
(01:10:10):
When he gets gets a whiff of Uganda, he'll probably
need counseling to kick himself. Because I wonder, and this
is this is a real question. I have the lawyers.
This is not his only lawyer. Now he's got he's
got a whole team of high you know, high profile
people that have provided some sort of legal services over
the course of this. Most of them are high profile
(01:10:32):
moon back cause based attorneys. Do you think if you
are more about the cause than the individual. See, this
is what he needs to think about, if I could
help for just a moment, Do you think your lawyers
are working in your best interest or do you think
they're working in the interest or the cause, which are
not necessarily the same thing. That would be the concern
(01:10:57):
that I would have because I feel like that knowing
that eventually you're going to get deported because it's like
the Supreme it will never make its way to the
Supreme Court where they don't support this guy in my
in my opinion, So knowing that that's the inevitability, how
do you counsel your client instead of going to Costa
(01:11:18):
Rica or even back to El Salvador. But I understand
that legally that that ship may have sailed, but to
a country that's where you speak the language and has
a much higher potential earning possibility that you would you
would put him in a position to go to Uganda.
That's said, that's I that sounds like something you call
(01:11:41):
the bar over really bad advice. So then are your
lawyers more invested in your individual you know, well being
or are they more interested in getting Trump? And if
they're more interested in getting Trump, you might you might
get a little concerned about that, just saying just saying,
(01:12:03):
all right, eight thirteen here on the KCODA radio program,
this is this is nuts man. So we've heard a
lot of challenges Internet challenges. Some of them are fine,
the ice bucket challenge, let's raise money for what was
that ms I can't remember what it was, but that was.
You know, that's fine, not so harmful. The planking challenge.
(01:12:27):
I'm trying to remember.
Speaker 2 (01:12:28):
Ross.
Speaker 1 (01:12:28):
I think the planking challenge might be the first weird
Internet challenge. I remember covering cinnamon eating. I guess fine,
drinking a bunch of milk til you throw up. It's weird.
But you know, at the end of the day, don't
forget tide pods. Well no, no, no, I was talking about
things that are not inherently harmful because arguabently type pipe
(01:12:50):
pods are not good for you. In fact, there's it
was that was such a problem they had to get.
Remember Gronk had to do a PSA which if you
asked me for a football player I thought would eat
tide pods. He actually would have been my suggestion. So
I thought that was weird. But now they're getting just dangerous, man.
(01:13:11):
You know a lot of them where they're like, you know,
there's stuff, stupid stuff in cars where people have been killed.
What was the one where you jump out of your
car and leave it rolling and then the camera would
be facing you.
Speaker 2 (01:13:24):
Yeah, they did that stupid dance.
Speaker 1 (01:13:26):
Yeah. Do you know how many people wrecked or like
damage their vehicles doing that and in some cases actually
damage people. It was not an insignificant number, because, believe
it or not, as much as you think your car's
just going to keep going straight if your alignment's off
or if it hits a little bump or a pothole,
that you easily lose control of that. But now we
(01:13:48):
have this Fayetteville, So we got it right here in
our own backyard. The Fetfield Fire Department is saying a
potentially fatal incident in the Haymount neighborhood was the result
of it social media challenge that involves boiling draino. Boiling
(01:14:10):
draino Ross, We've got a three day weekend coming up.
How much drainore you and the fan boiling this weekend? Dude?
Speaker 2 (01:14:16):
So much?
Speaker 1 (01:14:16):
All the draino? Yeah, Now I don't probably have to
tell you why this is a bad idea, boiling noxious
chemicals so that they become aw aerosoled and now you
get to breathe them in, or because I guess if
you let me just I don't want to. I don't
want you to feel I'm encouraging this. You are immensely stupid.
(01:14:38):
If you do this. I guess it boils down to
some crystal like substance. I don't even know what you
then do with the crystals.
Speaker 2 (01:14:46):
Yet, what's the point, Like, is it supposed to get
you high or something. I don't know, fumes don't know.
Speaker 1 (01:14:57):
So apparently let's see here, so specifically boiling, let's see here,
all right, So it has to do with I hate
that I'm explaining this, but I'm explaining that. So if
parents see their kids like getting this stuff together, then
maybe they can stop it. So people combine balls of
(01:15:19):
aluminum foil and draino in a water bottle or some
form of container, and then there's other ones where they
boil it. Apparently the reaction it's a chemical reaction. So
after you boil the draino and then the aluminum some sort,
and it can literally create an explosion within the container
and make a smoking effect. So that's the smoke bomb
one the boiling DRAINO. I guess it's a separate one.
(01:15:41):
But yeah, so basically the chemical reaction when's releasing that
smoke these The fire department says they did it inside
an apartment, so that's what they're investigating right now. Like
there's some weird serial killer who like, doesn't have to
lift a finger right now, man, just make tooks, I guess.
(01:16:03):
But you know, in case you all needed something else
to worry about, there you go. So if your kids
bawling up aluminum foil as like, I guess, it creates
a reaction kind of like when you do the was
it diet coke and mentos or whatever, which is fine,
you want to go ahead and do that. I even
saw somebody do that underwater the other day and actually
thought that video was kind of interesting. But you're not
(01:16:25):
killing people with it. Boiling drain it was a horrible idea.
What you want to do is boil nitro glycerin. Ross
have you taken the boiled nitroglycerin challenge?
Speaker 2 (01:16:35):
I'm busy at the moment. I'm focusing on my mustard
gas challenge.
Speaker 1 (01:16:38):
Oh okay, you know it's very easy to make busterd gas.
I don't know if you know that. Oh I know, yeah,
you know, but I don't know if other people do more.
What I meant by that you should not look that up.
You should not try any of this stuff. Now, don't
get me wrong. Did me and my friends do incredibly
stupid things? Yeah? Yes? Is it? Is it a modern
(01:17:03):
miracle that I have ten fingers? Probably? Like, probably more
than a miracle, like uh, it's uh, it's I have
to check sometimes. Do I have several scars on my
body from some of those stupid things? Yes, one hundred percent.
But I can tell you at no point, even in
(01:17:23):
an outside cooking situation. And remember I used to make
pipe bombs as a kid with the acetylene so we
could blow up stuff, I still wouldn't boil draino immediately
my brain would be like in an enclosed environment. How
dumb is this? And yet here we have this story.
So again I don't know fully what is hoped to
(01:17:46):
be achieved there, or what the crystal stuffs or what
any of that's about. But this should strike you as
a no good, very variable, very horrible idea. Oh it's
now people are sending me you gand in facts Ross.
Do you know Uganda still has one of the highest
populations of witch doctors, so you know, maybe there's a
(01:18:09):
career opportunity for him over there. That would be fun, right.
Some people convert to Islam, some people, you know, learn
a marketable skill like woodworking or something. Others figure out
how to throw bones or stuff and hunt albinos. So
lots of opportunity. Thank you for educating me. Emailers. All right,
(01:18:31):
eight nineteen, we're gonna boil some DRAINO be right back
real quick, and then we're gonna go to a phone call.
Let's just check in on the suicidal empathy of wo white,
woke white women in this case in the UK, here's
the headline. Homeless man kills mom of three with mallet
after she invites him to stay in her London apartment
(01:18:53):
because he was homeless. Yeah, so she's got a nice
she's got a nice play. Thankfully your kids were not
in Thirty seven year old Victoria Adams I had seen
a guy by the name of Apa paul A Duham
living on the street. He had apparently been kicked out
of a homeless shelter, so that's a good sign. And
she said why don't you come live with me? And
(01:19:14):
then police found her head caved in with ten mullets
mallet smashes. Is it the big one from the fair
with the test of strength? I don't know. Yeah, but
he super murdered her allegedly, but at least raj she
wasn't racist, so or whatever. Yeah, suicidal empathy is a
(01:19:38):
phrase that I was not familiar with, but is wholly
appropriate that I am now using all the time. Unfortunately,
all right, we grab a call here, butch, what's up?
Good morning morning? Yeah.
Speaker 6 (01:19:54):
I was just telling Ross that when I was a teenager,
I worked at a restaurant up door and it certinly
mixed some chemicals and a mop had to evacuate restaurant.
Speaker 1 (01:20:07):
Yeah, you made this is and by the way, what
he he's serious? Way he essentially made mustard gas. And
I've seen quite a few stories over the years, and
I'm not going to tell you which chemicals they are,
but their chemicals you're familiar with. It's it's way too
easy to make mustard gas, even though it's not technically
mustard gas, but it basically is I fired, Did you
get fired?
Speaker 6 (01:20:28):
Or yeah? It was it was that before all the
ocean postings and half that postings and all the other
stuff like.
Speaker 1 (01:20:38):
This to have now okay, all right, yeah, well yeah yeah, whoopsie,
So sorry that happened. Hopefully ever survived. This is when
I was in college during the summer, and I did
spend one summer doing directional boring.
Speaker 7 (01:20:53):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (01:20:54):
Basically I was just running, cutting torches and stuff, although
it was a lot of shoveling too. It's hard work, man,
So that that's my and then you know, I don't
consider ranching stuff necessarily the same, but I do understand
that there is a pecking order right even on Like
with the directional bore site, you got people doing manual labor.
You got guys running the heavy equipment. You got welders,
(01:21:17):
you have you you work a lot obviously with people
who do like underground locating things like that. So I
think it's funny because within the trades, it's kind of
like what with the military stuff, where it's like one
branch makes fun of the other branch makes fun of
the other. But basically they were pulling a bunch of
trades people or talking to them to figure out who
(01:21:37):
they like the least. And you see, like the beefs arrive.
We've talked I think we've talked on the show about this,
haven't we Ross. We're like electricians mocking plumbers, plumbers mocking
you know, welders, I don't know whatever, but we've discussed this,
but I thought this was funny. So who do they
like the least? And I guess it depends on your
(01:21:59):
job site. But the world of like building construction and
building renovation, which trade do you think draws the ire
of the the other trades the most? If you had
to guess ross. So let's say it's a building, a
high rise, building construction. Who do you think the other
ones think is the biggest jerk? The elevator guy. I
(01:22:20):
didn't even realize that is that true? You guys all
hate the elevator guy. And if you're an elevator guy,
why do they hate you? Yeah? Why? Yeah? I mean
elevators are cool. I don't know what the beef is.
Probably probably because the elevator guys make a crap ton
of money, man. That's uh. That is I was looking
at the numbers as to what somebody can come in,
(01:22:42):
go through an apprenticeship program and and and get their
way into uh, journeyman or whatever it is for that,
and uh, we're talking six figures baby, So I don't know,
maybe that's it, but I don't know. I know there's
a lot of folks that listening that are in the trades.
So maybe somebody can explain that to me. What the
elevator guy do to you? So? And then it's just
(01:23:04):
a lot of the same stuff for electricians, make fun
of plumbers and then the plant. So again I don't
pretend to understand it or swim in it, but I
just thought, like, what did the elevator guy do to
you guys? What's the beef? So maybe somebody can line
me out on that. All right, Vanity Fair, half of
the employees are threatening to quit. Why you ask, because
(01:23:29):
I guess the editor, his name is Mark Wooducci pronounce
not right, had brought up the idea of and I
hope you're sitting down for this, putting Milania on the cover.
You know where every single first lady and since Vanity
(01:23:51):
Fair has been a thing has at some point appeared
on the cover, all of them. And the job they
did with Obama, Michelle Obama like they went full fashionista there,
so you know, you know, the idea is just tack
malany on there apparently is not sitting well with the
(01:24:12):
with the the staff there. Yeah, according to a little
spy report there, about half the staff has threatened to walk. Quote.
I will walk out the mfing door and half my
staff will follow, said one editor to Daily Mail, who
covered this story. Another staffer says, we're not going to
(01:24:34):
normalize this desk spot and his wife. We're not going
to do it. We're going to stand for what's right.
If I have to work bagging groceries at Trader Joe's,
it's funny, that's the story you'd pick. I'll do it. No,
you won't, No, you won't. Now it's not to say
some people won't try to go to some other publication,
but the idea that you in a high profile job
(01:24:55):
at Vanity Fair, which probably pays pretty dang good, would
uh would just walk so you can go bad groceries
or Trader Joe's. I don't believe you. However, yesterday, I
don't know if you saw this. There is a Reuters reporter,
her name is Valerie Zinc who quit. She quit went
(01:25:19):
on social media to post it. She quits. Put her
money where her mouth is she said, I can't in
good conscience continue to work for Reuters because their betrayal
of journalists and Gaza and culpability in the assassination of
two hudred and forty five our colleagues. So she quit
because Reuters doesn't hate Jews enough. I guess. So that's
(01:25:39):
an interesting flex. Oh wait, hold on, we got some
elevator guys. Okay, Carrie, what's up?
Speaker 7 (01:25:47):
Hey, man, just want to respond to the elevator Got you.
Speaker 1 (01:25:50):
An elevator guy? Wait, hold on, I need your back elevay.
Speaker 7 (01:25:56):
No, no, not an elevator guy. But we've had and
I've worked in the apartment complexes instead are dealing with
high rises and stuff before.
Speaker 6 (01:26:05):
They just they have the powers.
Speaker 7 (01:26:07):
So they have this sense of arrogance sometimes.
Speaker 10 (01:26:09):
But not all of them.
Speaker 7 (01:26:11):
And I'm sure that not all of them get paid
like an absorbent amount of money.
Speaker 1 (01:26:14):
But no, I'm not saying that they get that kick.
Speaker 7 (01:26:18):
Yeah, but they get the kick from it, you know
some guys. Some guys are pretty chill with it. But uh,
but there are some elevator guys that know they because
that's the only access you got to them up for floors,
and they know it's this.
Speaker 1 (01:26:31):
Is so funny to me, man, because it's just like
anytime you put a bunch of people together, they're going
to be tribal anyway, even though it's a clear deligation.
I just thought it was funny that electricians hate the
elevator guys. Most plumbers hate the elevator guys. But I'm
just like, what the elevator guy, do you not bring
donuts or something? Geez, get the bottom dance of every buddy. Thanks.
(01:26:54):
They're like the elevator. You don't like the elevator guys
because they get all the chicks. Huh? Is that what
it is? I guess I don't know. I don't think
the guy doing drywall really cares. But they hate elevator
guys too, which is weird because anyway, all right, thanks
for helping to shed light on this. Sometimes I just
see these things and I'm like, I've been through some
context here that I just don't know. Ohh Boston, Paul's mad. Yeah,
(01:27:21):
So the Vanity Fair Wench is gonna come back. Groceries
at Trader Joe's. You'll have to interact with you when
you're there leering at women in yoga pants. I'm so
sorry for you. How sad for you? I heard Rossie.
I don't know if you heard this. Boston Paul is
going to the Taylor Swift wedding. Yeah, he's super excited.
He's been sending me stuff all morning, his photos, and
(01:27:43):
it's really sad stuff. It's like it's clearly ai of
him where he'd aied himself in between the two with
his arms around their shoulders. So the man is sick, sick,
sick sick. Yeah, yeah, boy, that story this morning, huh
or yesterday? Did you hear how CEBA News responded to it,
(01:28:03):
all right, not just CBS News because that would imply
that it might be the entertainment reporter for CBS News,
And I just want to purge that thought from your brain.
If you haven't heard this audio, it's amazing. All right.
So this is the White House Press, This is the
White House reporter. And we know this not just because
(01:28:25):
I know who it is because I've seen her over
the years, Olivia Reinold Taylor, but because this is happening,
and her background is she's in She's in that outside
broadcast area on the grounds of the White House. So
in the background is the White House. You know, this
where they're always on the lawn broadcasting. If you ever look,
you can't see it when they're broadcasting, but they have
(01:28:47):
these little like they look like a cabanas you'd see
in the pool and uh. And then they have like
a little standing area outside of each one, and each
of the different TV networks has one so you can
get that shot. And the camera equipment can be out
under the side on her rain or out from under
the sun and rain. So that's what's going on. And
this is an outtake. This is after she had just
(01:29:08):
done a report and all of a sudden breaking news
on her phone. She goes giddy. She goes from the
White House Reporter, which is kind of a serious gig,
or at least we think we it used to be
and it should be, to one of those chicks screaming
when the Beatles got off at the old JFK Airport
(01:29:29):
there in New York when they first came to America,
clutching their you know, clutching their hair and screaming. She
turned Insta into one of that, and then CBS put
this footage out on their actual social media account.

Oh oh, she's engaged. She's engaged. You know what it
felt like. It felt like some guy who's you know,
puts on that stoic I'm a you know, soldier of
fortune thing and then the bullets start flying and he
wets himself. Right, It's just like, what are you doing?
I thought you were built for this. You're the White

Speaker 4 (01:31:20):
So that's a Taylor Swift song.
Speaker 1 (01:31:21):
Yes, clearly I wouldn't know that one. Come on, man,
well you know you realize you realize that the number
of women that are about to get engaged because they
want to be engaged at the same time Taylor Swift
is I'm not making this up. In the UK. In
the UK, during Princess Di's wedding and then during the
most of the wedding of the older son, Prince William, Uh,
(01:31:44):
they literally had a big increase because like, women want
to associate themselves with this princess life style. Do you
think that wedding isn't going to look like a royal wedding?
In the UK, you're crazy.

Lots of sun today, partly sunny tomorrow upper seventies to
low eighties across the region. Fifties at night, more dry weather, Friday,

Speaker 12 (01:33:48):

Speaker 15 (01:33:48):
Oh, okay, good a little bit, but we'll get to
that at the end. President Trump case he made good
on his threat to punish India for continuing to buy
oil from Russia. The teriff rate for India was doubled
to fifty percent, making it the highest rate in all
of Asia. The levees will apply to more than half
of the good ship to the US, which is India's
(01:34:10):
biggest market. Electronics and pharmaceuticals are exempt, so Apple's effort
to move more production to India is safe at least
for now. And we now know the date for Apple's
fall product launch. It's less than two weeks away. The
iPhone seventeen line up will be unveiled September ninth. The
new line is expected to include a skinnier version of
the iPhone, along with an updated base model and two
(01:34:33):
pro editions. Apple is also preparing to show off upgraded
versions of the Apple Watch. Investor is very anxious to
get a look at nvidious quarterly results, which come out
after the market's closed today. The numbers from the artificial
intelligence bell Weather will help investors gauge whether the AI

message loud and clear, it's customers love the restaurant chains.
Vintage logo picturing a man sitting next to a barrel.
The company's plan to change the logo triggered a storm
of social media protests. Even President Trump weighed in, and
(01:35:14):
Cracker Barrel relented, announcing yesterday that the old logo will stay.
And in case you miss the news about Travis Kelcey
and Casey, the Kansas City Chiefs tight End announced he
is partnering with American Eagle Outfitters. His name will be
on a limited edition clothing collaboration between American Eagle and
(01:35:34):
his True Colors sports and lifestyle brand Casey.
Speaker 1 (01:35:38):
So he's the male Sydney Sweeney.
Speaker 15 (01:35:40):
Now I guess huh apparently so?
Speaker 1 (01:35:43):
All right, well, thank you much, appreciate it, Joe, all right,
torture us the whole time with us, Okay, take care? Yeah,
all right, there you go. Jeff Pellen, who, by the way,
is giddy. You just didn't hear him off the air.
He's like, Wow, this is amazing, dude, Ross, I'm just
thinking of this. So they get engaged. And now Travis
Kelsey's working with Sydney Sweeney. Can you imagine if you
had an affair with her? How good? The Taylor Swift
(01:36:06):
album the next one would be it would be amazing.
So again not hoping for it, but it exists. All right,
we got one another construction guy. Okay, good, all right,
here we go, Rick, what's up? Not much man, Good
morning morning.
Speaker 10 (01:36:21):
Been a finished carpenter for twenty five years, been in
and out of residential and commercial. I was thinking electricians
and drywallers, and then you mentioned elevator technicians. I was like, yeah,
they are absolutely the worst on a job, a commercial
job site. They show up around nine, put all their
tools in the middle of the hallway. You have to
walk around them. They take a break at ten thirty,
come back, take lunch at twelve for an hour, come
(01:36:43):
back another break. It too hardly get any work done
in an eight hour shift, and just all their stuff's
in your way and you have to work around them.
Speaker 1 (01:36:50):
Oh sounds like radio. Okay, yeah, I me. It's a
charmed life if you can lead it, sir.
Speaker 10 (01:36:56):
Oh, I bet it is. But yeah, I didn't finish
school long enough to do that, so I'm just a
lonely carpenter.
Speaker 1 (01:37:02):
Oh well, all right, Well I just again I didn't
know because I didn't the stuff that I with roofing
and in directional boring. We don't work with a lot
of elevator guys. I just thought it was funny that
everyone seemed to be piling up on them, and I
didn't know why.
Speaker 10 (01:37:14):
So, but that's the reason. They hardly do any work,
and they put all their stuff in your way and
they won't move it if you're carrying heavy panels or
anything else.
Speaker 1 (01:37:21):
Well, work smarter, not harder, at least on their end.
I guess all right, thanks man, I appreciate it.
