Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
But we got some good stuff today, man. And it's
like and it's it's some of it's really important, some
of it's really not important, but it's really funny. Uh
and or uh you know, look at this person. Uh
and uh yeah all the while, Uh everyone gets a
pre car wash basically if you're within the sound of
my voice.

Speaker 2 (00:21):
So probably a little more is you go towards.

Speaker 1 (00:25):
Durham, uh Graham, those areas over there Greensboro is getting
rocked yesterday or south of Greensboro.

Speaker 2 (00:32):
So uh, you.

Speaker 1 (00:35):
Know, let's give me one of those stay inside days
as you work outside then you know sucks. But uh anyway, uh,
you know, probably not mow the lawn if you have
that on your list today. So you got that going
for you, all right, So we got do you remember
if I know we do a lot of nostalgia here
on this show. The member Berry's of South Park uh

(00:58):
labeled it. But that's okay, that's okay, that's wrong with
trying to remember when things.

Speaker 2 (01:06):
I just here's what I hate.

Speaker 1 (01:07):
Anytime someone posts something they're like, you know, in the eighties,
he here's from somebody posted something about fast times at
Richemond High and they're like Yeah, it looks like all
the kids in the eighties were just the didn't have
a lot of cares. They had work after school, they
hung out with their friends, tried to get in some trouble.
But you know, why aren't they talking about you know,

(01:29):
climate change and global politics and stuff. And they're like,
you know, and then they tell you it was better
in the eighties and the nineties, but it wasn't.

Speaker 2 (01:38):
Nah.

Speaker 1 (01:39):
Yeah, I was pretty much being a kid man, especially
if you're a gen xer kind of kid, like the
latch key kid kind of thing.

Speaker 2 (01:48):
Dude. That was it. That was it.

Speaker 1 (01:51):
We weren't going to student protests. We had stuff we
didn't like, but it was mostly localized to our kidness,
you know what I'm saying. Like when they wouldn't let
us park, when they when they wouldn't let us park
in the AG parking lot unless we had an AG
class in that building over there. I remember they held
a protest over that they did not win because we

(02:15):
didn't want the if you're not gonna if you're not
gonna be down with any of our AG classes, that's
our parking lot, take your little nerdyself up the hill.

Speaker 2 (02:24):
So you know, that was it, But I don't have
to go back that far.

Speaker 1 (02:32):
Do you remember during the twenty sixteen the first term
of Trump, when he could just do something random and
innocuous and he never really knew if he was doing
it just to go to him, but you kind of
thought he might have been, and you're okay with that.
Dude walked onto the roof the roof of the White
House yesterday and people were not okay with him. I

(02:58):
assumed CNN would say he had to mentioned wandered.

Speaker 2 (03:01):
Up there, just because the audacity to do that.

Speaker 1 (03:04):
After Biden literally wandered off where the Italian Prime minister
rescued and where were they were over.

Speaker 2 (03:10):
In like Normandy or something? Right, Yeah, they were in France.

Speaker 3 (03:14):
He's like wandering out of the ocean and stuff. Yeah,
they're taking a group photo and he's like, what's this
big watery thing?

Speaker 2 (03:24):
And she's like, no, dog, no, come over here.

Speaker 1 (03:27):
I don't know if that's how she talks, but whatever,
you gotta retrieve him.

Speaker 2 (03:32):
Come come on, people, come on over here, get the photo.

Speaker 3 (03:35):
They're like prying him out of the hedgerows, you know,
many Oh.

Speaker 2 (03:40):
No, where's the mustard gas coming?

Speaker 4 (03:42):
What?

Speaker 2 (03:42):
No? Wrong? War? And uh no, it's today.

Speaker 1 (03:49):
Uh anyway, so uh so Trump walked up on the
roof and then all the reporters could see him walking
around on the roof, and I'm sure Secret Service probably
wasn't pleased with it, cause I don't know if you know.
This directly across the street from the White House. I
believe it's a win. It's the W Hotel. I've been
in the bar. I can't remember what the which hotel is.

(04:10):
I believe it's the W. They have a rooftop bar
that faces the White House side. And whenever i'd go
to do the little broadcast thing up there in DC
for a radio row, me and some of my fellow
radio folk, when we had, you know, an evening where
we wanted to go out, probably the second or third

(04:32):
day that was, we'd go to that bar because it's
a really great view. Go up there, watch looks directly
down to where the President's walking around on the roof.
So I'm sure they had their thoughts. But he's up there,
he's up there, they're standing there. They're screaming at him

(04:52):
doing the doing a press conference with the president on
the on the roof, like.

Speaker 2 (04:57):
He's your your your, your dog, got up there somehow
and trying to talk him down. She's so weird.

Speaker 3 (05:01):
We can't explain to you. Like, the first time I
saw the story was yesterday when you said I put
into prep. Yeah, and it brought me so much joy.

Speaker 2 (05:09):
It's the simple things.

Speaker 3 (05:10):
Yeah, just seeing him up there on the roof, and
you can't blame him, right, I want to.

Speaker 2 (05:14):
Go on the roof if I was president, I want
to see them.

Speaker 1 (05:16):
I assume they got the super missiles up there, and
he made a joke about it, which they didn't like, but.

Speaker 2 (05:21):
I meant they have a really sweet roof.

Speaker 1 (05:23):
But also as a guy too, don't you like looking
at constructed things?

Speaker 3 (05:27):
Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Like when they did the
remodeling here, I was all over every I was in,
you know, every every place. I wasn't supposed to be a.

Speaker 1 (05:34):
Good joy look at that, right, Yeah, dude, who gets
to walk around on the roof of the some secret
Service guys for military dudes and the president and Trump
ain't enlisting, so you know he's got a window here. Absolutely, Man,
You're going on the roof and he's in a suit,

(05:57):
and the whole thing looks crazy.

Speaker 5 (05:58):
The president, why are you doing that?

Speaker 1 (06:01):
I'm surprised they didn't yell jump honestly, even as a
joke one of them.

Speaker 6 (06:08):
You know.

Speaker 1 (06:08):
The funny thing is, you remember how that was Biden's
favorite joke. He would he would he would unfurl it
at random times. You can never really see who's talking to.
But if he was anywhere where there was an elevated
seating position and somebody's in the front row and go, hey, man,
don't jump.

Speaker 2 (06:24):
The guy's just sit in his seat.

Speaker 1 (06:25):
Like, well, I wasn't going to, but now that I've
seen your continive decline, I'm thinking about it.

Speaker 2 (06:32):
Yeah, Trump's up there man doing his thing.

Speaker 1 (06:34):
President, What are you doing up there?

Speaker 2 (06:38):
Taking a little walter?

Speaker 3 (06:39):
You come you out to talk to him? Why don't
you come up here?

Speaker 2 (06:44):
Would have been the properties?

Speaker 3 (06:48):
Are you considering more renovation?

Speaker 2 (06:50):
Serve?

Speaker 3 (06:57):
Are you going to build a pleasure?

Speaker 6 (07:01):
All right?

Speaker 1 (07:01):
So, and I believe if I read Ross, did I
read this right? I don't know if you saw anything else.
I didn't see it. Confirmed He kind of mentions ballroom there.

Speaker 2 (07:10):
He has been like.

Speaker 1 (07:12):
Funding some things at the White House, like he's paying
for it. Uh, and not just the White House, they're
literally paying for stuff.

Speaker 3 (07:19):
Yeah, no, I mean paid for that giant flag right.

Speaker 2 (07:21):
Right, Well too, there's two flags, right, isn't there?

Speaker 3 (07:23):
Yeah? But yeah, did they put up two?

Speaker 1 (07:26):
I think I remember one of the guys saying, there's
going to be two whatever. Yeah, yeah you did that
because they used to.

Speaker 2 (07:32):
Be like, oh he paved the rose garden.

Speaker 1 (07:34):
No I didn't you did it to be mean, no, No,
He's done a bunch of stuff up right.

Speaker 3 (07:38):
There's a lot of renovations going on and stuff isn't complete,
and like people are complaining about it. It's like, you know,
we're building this addition on our house, and it's like
imagine after the first day, I take a photo and
I'm like, look at this crap job.

Speaker 6 (07:50):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (07:50):
Well, and it's just cement.

Speaker 2 (07:52):
That's horrible. Can you believe it? So I got the
boards around that stuff. I didn't even take the wood.
Oh man Trump, mm hmm. It's the tariff's dude, that's
what got you.

Speaker 6 (08:03):
All right.

Speaker 2 (08:04):
So he's up on the roof. So now we're going
to do the presidential c this and and and again.
One of the things that is so different. Can you.

Speaker 3 (08:16):
Be nice?

Speaker 1 (08:17):
Okay, Ross, can you imagine Joe Biden up on the roof,
and how the media would talk, would talk to him.

Speaker 2 (08:23):
I just want to I just want to get in here.

Speaker 1 (08:25):
But I mean, we don't know what would have happen,
but I think they would have reacted different if they
saw Joe Biden wandering around on the White House roof
in a suit, and because they didn't assume Trump was
lost or anything. Even though they may claim it later,
it's clear they know the difference.

Speaker 3 (08:42):
I know. I think they would have Actually, I think
they would have broadcasted as look at this spry, young
gentleman being you know, funny and crazy and silly and
being on the roof. But secretly they've been like, oh
my god, that dude's gonna die. Yeah, Like I think
there had been two stories there.

Speaker 1 (08:58):
The only thing that Trump could have done to be
ballsier is uh, have a meeting with Putin up there.
That's what he should do, right, But I'm not afraid
of high places, not around you.

Speaker 3 (09:10):
But then you'd have to wear the Joe Biden magnet
shoots just to be safe.

Speaker 4 (09:14):
Just right.

Speaker 2 (09:16):
Yeah, So he's up on the roo, he's looking at
some stuff, they're doing some whatever.

Speaker 1 (09:19):
The guy's a builder. I mean that's before he's president.
This is I'm among other things, but that's his past,
that's his big thing. So him walking around while people
show him construction ideas or what it's going to look
like or give them like he've been doing that for
a gazillion years.

Speaker 2 (09:39):
Man, that's normal. That's his thing.

Speaker 1 (09:46):
And so like he's up he's up there, and uh
I I was trying to see which direction they'd go.

Speaker 2 (09:52):
I'll give you some examples coming up. Let's hear more.
Come on, hurry up your guys, life.

Speaker 1 (09:59):
O life fael.

Speaker 5 (10:02):
What's wrong?

Speaker 2 (10:03):
This is.

Speaker 7 (10:05):
The stress of my mon office has caused.

Speaker 2 (10:08):
Me to go and do a depression.

Speaker 1 (10:11):
Depression isn't that just a fancy word for feeling bummed out?

Speaker 2 (10:15):
Twighty rigger and slut?

Speaker 1 (10:18):
Okay, whoops, right, whoops. We're gonna admit that was a whoops?
Are there any more?

Speaker 2 (10:26):
Whoops? What a strange person? Now look here, my good
I don't want to talk to you no more.

Speaker 1 (10:32):
You're empty headed animal food through whooper fart.

Speaker 2 (10:37):
In your general direction.

Speaker 1 (10:39):
Your mother was a hamster and your father smete of elaborates.

Speaker 3 (10:44):
Oh no, those final two Trump cuts, I mean they
really stand out.

Speaker 2 (10:47):
The audio is remarkably.

Speaker 3 (10:49):
Yeah, it's different, but him up on the roof, Man,
what a day.

Speaker 1 (10:56):
It's just that was the thing about and there's some
of it this time around. But that was the thing
about the first term because everyone was still trying to
figure out what he was gonna do, because remember when
he when he took office, they just got done running
a bunch of stories after he won saying that he
was upset that he won because he didn't want to win.

(11:16):
Do you remember that that little era we went through
with like an insiders say, he never wanted to win,
and now he's upside he's got to do it.

Speaker 2 (11:23):
He may not do it.

Speaker 1 (11:25):
I just that was the level of crazy that we
were dealing with because nobody knew what was happening. And
then he goes in there and and as a morning guy,
he would start tweeting literally before my show started. Morning
guys always get screwed on the breaking presidential news. Lest
the presidents in Europe, they're really you can't jyp stuff.

(11:49):
They really didn't get going. Pre Trump could tweet two
tweets before the show and I would take the stack
and I would set it over there. I'm like, guess
we're talking about that now and then he would just
go do random things and it's the it's the randomness
of it, but not look, it's this is what we

(12:10):
talked about with the McDonald's and the garbage truck cross.
I know this is slightly different, but it's like Trump
up there, that's builder Trump up there. There isn't a
guy more comfortable doing what he's doing up there.

Speaker 2 (12:22):
That's his whole life.

Speaker 1 (12:24):
And while he wasn't a fry cook and he's never
been a garbage man, he also didn't do it in
a way that seemed gratuitous. Were not that you thought
he was gonna be a fry cook, but like he
was never It never came across as this is stupid,
which a lot of these things do.

Speaker 2 (12:44):
But a lot of them do.

Speaker 3 (12:46):
Yeah, And the other side of it is like the
other side can't do that, right, They can't do anything
genuine or silly or funny because they're completely fake all
the time. And that's why these interviews that they'll sometimes
do or not do, like with Kamala on jor Rogan,
they fall flat. You know, yeah, think about what was it?
Harry Sisson recently on some podcasts where like the guy's
joking around and he has no ability to joke back

(13:08):
or well.

Speaker 1 (13:08):
And he wasn't picking up pop culture references that were
writing his demo that even I knew, even though I
wish I didn't. Yeah, it was it was really strange stuff. Yeah,
it's how you get picked out.

Speaker 2 (13:21):
Man.

Speaker 1 (13:22):
It's Chuck Schumer putting the cheese on the raw hammerger.
Tell me you've never grow up.

Speaker 3 (13:27):
I mean, that's and that's why the media has a
lot of problem with him, because everything they do is
so scripted and so fake, and you know, this guy
that's just like going off the script and doing what
he wants and having fun and they don't know how
to handle it. No, not at all.

Speaker 2 (13:39):
Oh, anyway, I just laughed. I saw yesterday and I'm like,
all right, where are we gonna go with this?

Speaker 1 (13:47):
And I again I thought that somebody said, Oh, he's
got the he's got the dimensional Look, he's he's walking
around on the roof.

Speaker 2 (13:53):
We got to get rid of this guy.

Speaker 6 (13:54):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (13:54):
They did get a little creative though, Hold on, what
are they? Yeah, this is the Intelligencer from the New
York New York magazine. All right, why was Trump on
the roof here? Are some theories. I'm not gonna read
them all to you, but this is the one that
they kind of went with. He's trying to distract us,

(14:17):
as people on the internet say all the time about
anything Trump does. This was an orchestrated distraction from something
he doesn't want us to pay attention to. We need
to look away to see what's really going on. If
Trump is on the roof, he must not want us
to see something.

Speaker 2 (14:34):
Happening down on the ground.

Speaker 1 (14:36):
Clearly, he is trying to make people forget why he
paved the rose garden.

Speaker 2 (14:44):
The dudes on the roof, the roof, The roof is
on fire. Cap Sorry, I couldn't. You can't say the
roof twice and be my age and then not say
the thing after.

Speaker 3 (14:56):
It is the White House roof on fire?

Speaker 2 (14:58):
No, no, it's not. It's an involuntary reflex from my childhood.

Speaker 3 (15:03):
But did he raise the roof?

Speaker 1 (15:06):
Oh don't know or not? Do's not get this started.
I can't have multiple earworms burning around in there. He
could have had a go old school. He could have
fiddled up there just to see if they recognized the old.

Speaker 2 (15:21):
U uh movie play.

Speaker 1 (15:26):
Yeah, he has to wear the Peter pan looking suit.

Speaker 2 (15:31):
The dude wearing the movie though, if.

Speaker 3 (15:33):
He was up there fiddling on the roof, you would
have these like Palestine people like crazy. It would drive
him nuts. They'd be like, oh Zionist, Yeah, it would
be amazing. Pro Israel sings.

Speaker 2 (15:44):
He's just they're fiddling on the roof. Yeah, yea, yeah,
my mom loved that movie or that story.

Speaker 1 (15:51):
I guess hillly reason. I know it so good reference,
good callback. But now we got to take a break,
so we come out coming up. Uh, well we'll we'll
see what the congressman thinks. Brad Nott's going to join
us at eight oh five, So lots to get into
hang on, not be in them, but you know, maybe
a video comes across.

Speaker 2 (16:08):
It's just two dudes.

Speaker 3 (16:09):
Listen here. Punk.

Speaker 1 (16:10):
I've been in fifty bar fights, fifty of them a
punk I. The highest I knew was a guy who
did forty. You did fifty fifty.

Speaker 2 (16:17):
That's amazing.

Speaker 1 (16:20):
Remember you also bragged about going to the Kumata in Jackson. Well, yeah,
no I am the defending. I mean, I mean I
did win, but yeah, I don't want to talk about it.
I was a Jackson hole yet. So I saw this
it looks like they've been trying to get this thing
up and running, and I don't know fully, I just
think this is a great idea. And of course West
Virginia is going to be where they're able to actually

(16:40):
get this license. You know, you gotta get sanctioned, and
I probably won't get this sanctioned in most other states.
And it's just it's they're basically creating a kuma tae
but for amateurs, just people in West Virginia like to
get into bar fights.

Speaker 2 (16:58):
You show up, there's.

Speaker 1 (16:59):
Money to be They're gonna stream it so you can
pay per view it, I guess, and I guess it'll
be a rolling thing, and it's one minute, one round,
one minute each of the rounds, so thirty six you
can round robin the math there and then you know
if you're still standing at the end, so you'll fight,

(17:19):
and then if you win, then you wait and then
you'll fight again.

Speaker 3 (17:23):
Now to get in, you have to do the deaf
touch the did mock.

Speaker 2 (17:27):
No, I just I did read the here we go.

Speaker 1 (17:30):
Here's eligibility and requirements open a US citizence between eighteen
and thirty nine. This is a semi professional tournament and
they have to say that because you have to get
an amateur or semi professional license boxing license, So I
think that's why they weren't it like that, And then
they stress it's for amateur fighters.

Speaker 2 (17:50):
No pros I got. There's certain health requirements you got
to meet the license. I mentioned. No nothing about smashing
ther exploding the right brick.

Speaker 1 (18:01):
So maybe they don't tell you that until you get
there though, Right, you don't want guys practicing or whatever.
You got to kind of leave it on the down load,
and then when they show up, boom, right exactly that's
what they do, is.

Speaker 2 (18:14):
It what they Well, I'm assuming you're signing up for this.

Speaker 1 (18:17):
I'm retired, I have a family and stuff. Well no, no, no, no, no, no,
I can't talk about it. What an opportunity.

Speaker 3 (18:24):
I can't talk about it.

Speaker 1 (18:25):
I'm gonna sign you up. Yeah, each bound each round here,
each bout is one round for sixty seconds. Free knockdown
rule applies. Standing aken, Well, are they gonna let you
get a hammered before this, because that is a hallmark
of a good bar fight, especially in the women's division. Oh,
this looks like this one's just men, or maybe it's

(18:48):
not gendered. And women can enter if they want. Good
luck with that, Yeah, like you know that's there are
a couple of really good bar fights that I've seen
in my day, Copious amounts of alcohol were necessary, not
just for the fight.

Speaker 2 (19:06):
But the the the how.

Speaker 1 (19:09):
Do I say the garnish of the fight right where
some guy's hammered and he's trying to rip his shirt off,
but he's too drunk to pull his shirt off and
he's so he starts fighting with the shirt over his face.

Speaker 2 (19:20):
I saw that. Saw that.

Speaker 1 (19:25):
You're not gonna get that sober necessarily, so I hope
they let him get ripped.

Speaker 3 (19:29):
Man.

Speaker 1 (19:31):
They are The only safety equipment they will be required
to have is a mouthguard and a cup like a
groin protector of some sort. Let's see here, all right,
So initially I think they were going to do this
with light, lighter gloves.

Speaker 2 (19:51):
I think they wanted to do a bare knuckle in
their lives, like, yeah, we're not going to santion that.

Speaker 1 (19:55):
So they're going with super light gloves here. So it's
not quite MMA, So it'll be it'll be very much
with a little patting there in the mouthguard, but other
than that, it's a game on man, Oh how much
people can win. And they got all the divisions from
bantam to heavy five divisions.

Speaker 3 (20:12):
I've I've been training in my backyard. Yeah yeah, I
have this Pulley system set up that like spreads my
legs apart.

Speaker 2 (20:18):
Oh why why?

Speaker 6 (20:20):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (20:20):
And then I'll do the second thing. I do the
second part of my trains painful as a man, right,
Like I drink tea with my SADOHI but I'm blindfold
and he tries to chop me in the face. So
I'm ready.

Speaker 2 (20:29):
Well, sounds abusive. That sounds a good abusive relationship.

Speaker 3 (20:32):
Actually it really does.

Speaker 2 (20:34):
Oh my gosh. Hey, winners win and uh, losers lose.
So yeah, I do what you gotta do. Let's see here. Yeah,
it looks to be the basic requirements. Yeah, so you
know three, so you have to win four. You have
to win four to be the champion on that night.

(20:56):
Oh that's interesting. So what And this is the other thing.

Speaker 1 (21:00):
Unlike the fight clubs you see in any movie where
there's always that standard dude who just hangs.

Speaker 2 (21:04):
Around and he's the champ. People come to fight him,
and then.

Speaker 1 (21:07):
Whoever's the focus of the movie shows up and whips
their butt with a minimal effort. See every John Claude
Van Damn movie, Steven Segoll movie. I just watched one
the other day with this and the guys always doesn't
want to fight in the fight club, but you know,
or the underground boxing, he just goes in there. It's

(21:28):
like the opening scene of the bad Jason Bourne movie
called Jason Bourne.

Speaker 3 (21:32):
I think the opposite of that would be like maybe Wolverine, remember,
because he was the champion of that like cage match,
and he would just sit there and just take guys
but he didn't want to fight either, like they never.

Speaker 2 (21:40):
Want to fight either.

Speaker 3 (21:41):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (21:42):
Yeah, so if you win, you can't you're not eligible
anymore because now you have it's sanctioned and now you
are a professional. You want see that's what happens. So
there's gonna be no roaming chance. So Ross, Yeah, you
just gotta go do it once, buddy. I'll get you
signed up here. It'll be fun stream for the audience.

(22:02):
It'd be great. What's your walk on music?

Speaker 2 (22:05):
There? Oh?

Speaker 1 (22:08):
I forgot to ask you your training montages? Do you
have eighties music behind it or not?

Speaker 3 (22:14):
I feel like you have to, you know, I think
you'd have to as well for a.

Speaker 1 (22:17):
Proper training montage of any sort, maybe something zimmer Esque
or really anything out of the Jean Claude Library Loves
to Train. All right, six forty one case O day
radio program, We a little more audio for you. Oh well,
since we talked about Trump, let me just stick on

(22:39):
Trump and the other thing. In addition to where Trump
would just do random stuff and then the press would
freak out because and then they would come up with
the worst case reason why he did it, just you know,
insert whatever the story was.

Speaker 2 (22:54):
Also he just says stuff. Now I never lost that,
but the randomness.

Speaker 1 (23:01):
When he's talking to I guess he's talking to c NBC,
the one of the money shows there Wait, hold on,
is it CNBC on this one? I got there's two
things I saw from him. Well, anyway, he's being interviewed
and they start talking about what's going on in Texas
because the narrative is that the Texas Democrats had to

(23:22):
leave because Trump called Greg Abbott and said, Greg, I
need five more seats.

Speaker 2 (23:28):
Make it happen.

Speaker 1 (23:29):
And then with the redistricting, they're making that happen, and
it's Trump's making him do it.

Speaker 2 (23:32):
He's got no choice.

Speaker 1 (23:33):
It's all Trump trump, Trump, trump Trump, because that's how
you most effectively market that even if people ain't buying it,
and the irony is Gavin Newsom was putting.

Speaker 2 (23:44):
Dude.

Speaker 1 (23:45):
Gavin Newsom put a tweet out yesterday. I laughed at
first because you kind of have to.

Speaker 2 (23:50):
But it's just just just show you what a low
life piece of garbage he is.

Speaker 1 (23:55):
If I could for just a moment, so he put in,
He's like, well, then California is going to do this.

Speaker 2 (24:04):
I got news for you, Gavin. You guys already did.

Speaker 1 (24:08):
California is roughly in the most recent Trump pulling and
data collection. You could argue it's high thirties, low forties
percentage of people that are US at least sometime Republican
voters there, I would the delegation is not. They do

(24:28):
not have forty percent. They do not have near that.
So and they eliminated. When California last redistricted, they got
rid of twelve Republican seats. That was two times ago,
and then three came back or something like that. It
was very clear even though they have the most it
was very clear of what was going on.

Speaker 2 (24:48):
But Gavin Newsom was, oh.

Speaker 1 (24:52):
Ye had some replies here, hang on, just a sec
I should have called this up before we got into it, but.

Speaker 2 (25:00):
Oh yeah, here we go.

Speaker 1 (25:01):
Yeah, so he reads, okay, cool, how about red states?
Was zero DEM house seats? Wyoming, South Dakota, North Dakota, Alaska,
West virgin Montana, Idaho, Ross, do you know anything about
any of those states I just listed off? Why they
may only have one or not have any DEM House seats?

Speaker 2 (25:23):
Anything?

Speaker 1 (25:24):
A hallmark of Wyoming, Montana, the Dakota's in Wyoming, it
is more exclusive to be a member of the House
of Representatives as a population, right, Yeah, we.

Speaker 2 (25:39):
Don't have those lot.

Speaker 1 (25:41):
Most of the states he listed only have one representative.
And when you're a one representative sized state and you're
a Western state, you're probably a red state. And well,
I'm sure as hell is Montana should be. But he
keeps screwing that Dakota's or the Dakota's acasionally get one
in there like these to be the member of the

(26:04):
House Representatives. There's only one of you. There's two senators. Man,
it must be a senator to you. The only one
House of Representatives a member. So like, what a stupid list?

Speaker 3 (26:20):
Uh?

Speaker 2 (26:20):
Yeah, you want to talk about states.

Speaker 1 (26:22):
You know, do you know Massachusetts has zero House Republicans none, zero,
Their whole delegation is Democrat. You're telling me that there's
not seven hundred and fifty ish thousand people in the
state of Massachusetts who.

Speaker 2 (26:39):
Lean Trump's way. Of course there is.

Speaker 1 (26:44):
So anyway, the whole argument is stupid on the face,
but I do enjoy hearing Trump talk about it because
one of the people who is super mad is Jasmine Crockett.

Speaker 2 (26:57):
And it's my understanding. And I don't know how Texas works.

Speaker 1 (27:00):
So I know North Carolina, you don't technically have to
live in your district. Uh, I mean, you know you
have to be close North Carolina. You can live in
Murphy and run for district one. Explain that to me.

Speaker 2 (27:11):
But that's how we do it.

Speaker 1 (27:13):
So in Texas, I think your house has to be
in the district, and I think her house is not
in the new district. So, uh, we could lose Jasmine
Crockett people, we could lose Miss Crockett. So uh anyway,
So but that's it's not even that this listen to
what the President says.

Speaker 4 (27:33):
The Democrat Party is self destructing. I mean, when you
have low IQ people like Crockett. I wonder if she's
in a relation to ship to the late great Davy Crockett,
who is a great, great, great gentleman. I wonder if
she's got a relationship to David Crockett, the great old
Davy Crockett. But you have this woman Crockett. She's a low,

(27:54):
very low IQ person. Somebody said the other day she's
one of the leaders of the party. I think you
got to uh. They the Democrats are lost. They have
Trump derangement syndrome so bad that they can't walk. They
can't they don't know where there is finished watched it
the other day. He's lost all of his confidence.

Speaker 1 (28:15):
Yeah, ross, what do you think, Jasmine Crockett, Davy Crockett's
a great great granddaughter or something. This is so random
and he again, he just does it to screw with people.
And you call it immature whatever, But I and some
of it I kind of feel like it is. But
if it makes me laugh, I'm like, whatever, why Because

(28:36):
Jasmine Crockett, I looked the Oxer's getting gored and Jasmine
Crockett called Greg Abbott governor hot wheels.

Speaker 2 (28:43):
Everybody knows she did.

Speaker 1 (28:45):
We everyone knows what's up So if you're gonna be
that kind of person that I have no sympathy for
you when Trump's making jokes at you, you'd be shocked
to learn Roster accusing him of being racist, Uh for
saying that because Davy Crockett was white as though you know,
there's no possible way that multiple generations after there could

(29:08):
be a connection. But and she's from Texas, and well,
Davy Crockett was not from Texas.

Speaker 2 (29:14):
He sure died in Texas, So, uh, there you go. Ross.

Speaker 1 (29:19):
Did you see the the painting of the out the
Alamo he was holding Peewee's bike?

Speaker 3 (29:25):
Oh was it really? It was about to ask if
he's the one that dropped it off?

Speaker 2 (29:28):
Yeah, I know it's huge.

Speaker 1 (29:29):
He grabbed it to keep the keep the Mexicans from
stealing it.

Speaker 3 (29:33):
So that's what that that uh, that war was all about. That,
wouldn't it when it sant Anna and yeah, yeah.

Speaker 2 (29:39):
Like it was. There's some other stuff going on, but
one guy's got a tequila named after him and another
one had a movie. So but overall they were like,
give us that bike and we're like, no, yeah.

Speaker 1 (29:48):
That's a Pancho Villa wanted the bikes or sant Anna
or whatever.

Speaker 2 (29:51):
So now sant Anna's one of got the second one.
It didn't go well for him.

Speaker 3 (29:54):
Right, so Weguapa was like give me the bike.

Speaker 2 (29:57):
Yes, uh, and Steve Martin and and the other two
told him no, right, And we wanted they didn't know
that he was a real right right, and we wanted
now we have Sinco to my own. Yeah, that's it.

Speaker 1 (30:10):
May get a federal holiday, get another day off, throw
another ship on the Bobby all Right six forty nine
Cacoda Radio program, Hang on. But I did notice last
night as I was, I got prepp done and sat
down and I popped the HBO app and they're like, hey,
tonight's the season premiere of Hard Knocks and this year it's.

Speaker 2 (30:31):
Both little bills. So I was asked for Ross. He's
gonna watch it if he doesn't have HBO Max.

Speaker 3 (30:35):
No, no, actually, so it is an HBO Max I
don't have. Oh yeah, I can watch it then, yeah, yeah,
I probably won't though.

Speaker 2 (30:42):
That was my no.

Speaker 1 (30:43):
That was why I was curious because technically a game,
and I see you watch the press conferences and stuff
because you always you're like, hey, you here what we
talked about?

Speaker 2 (30:51):
What he said. Clearly, you've heard what they said, but you.

Speaker 1 (30:55):
Know you don't want to watch the game you followed
on the social media, so I didn't know.

Speaker 3 (30:58):
I mean, the issue is, I don't really have a
lot of time to watch TV or shows. So the
only time we ever get to sit down and watch
something that we want to watch, yeah, is after Lincoln
goes to bed. He goes to bed at seven o'clock
every night, he's asleep by seven thirty. I'm doing prep.
I'm done. I'm done with prep normally around eight, and
then Marky and I will lay down and we'll watch
something and we watch it together. And we want to

(31:19):
watch something that we both want to watch and enjoy
together because it's part of what you know, it's part
of hanging out together. So I'm not just gonna like
I don't have any free time to watch things on
my own, is what I'm saying. I maybe have every day.
I maybe watch forty five minutes of TV a day.
That's it. I got you or any kind of like
I don't want anything on YouTube, that's it.

Speaker 2 (31:37):
So you also don't want your boys on this show,
is what you were saying.

Speaker 3 (31:40):
Well, no, I'm a little I mean that I've heard.
I saw something he was saying at the press conference
where he was saying, you know, practice this year is
a little different because everything that he's you know, he's
miked up constantly for the show, and so they're gonna
use toff for the show else. So I mean, and
he's like a notorious crap talker, right, and he's known

(32:02):
for that sort of like in a Larry Bird sort
of sort of way. How Larry Bird was you know,
was a was a famous crap talker, and I it's
he can't yeah, I mean, you can't drop f bombs.
He can't say things he would normally say in practice.
So I'm kind of hesitant about it because I don't
want them to be held back in practice because practice
is so important. I give you an example. I love
going to the gym. I really enjoy it, and I

(32:23):
have my rituals at the gym. If I knew that
everything I was going to be saying or thinking at
the gym was going to be broadcasted, it would probably
hold my workout back because I would be out of
my my uh.

Speaker 6 (32:33):
You know, my.

Speaker 5 (32:36):
No.

Speaker 3 (32:36):
But I mean I might hold back on my workout
because I'm like everybody is watching me and see Myra
would hold me back. So I'm a little hesitant. I'm
hoping that's not going to happen. Yeah, yeah, I want
to say this. I've watched this, this this show's.

Speaker 1 (32:49):
Been going on for all the like twenty seasons now,
and there are a lot of players who do not
alter how they talk. So so and I want to
point this out because yesterday we talked about the stuff
and you know, the real ID component of it.

Speaker 2 (33:04):
So if you if if.

Speaker 1 (33:06):
You don't have yet a real ID license, but you
know you're going to be traveling and you're like, I
don't want to drive the other side of the state
and have to stay for.

Speaker 2 (33:16):
Three days to go to DMB.

Speaker 1 (33:18):
Arguably, you know passports count, so the new paths. So
I guess if you if you want to get a passport,
then you can slow roll your license changeover. It's an option.
I just want to throw it out there. So that's it,
because you know it's the back in the district time.
I'm also curious because it's it's it's become clear that

(33:41):
Republicans holding town halls, and it's not to say that
Republicans didn't do some of this during Obamacare watching Arlen
Spector melt down. Wait a minute, Wait a minute, I
think I have that in the system somewhere. Was Oh,
that was some of my favorite audio during the August
recess ahead of the Obamacare vote, where Republicans went to

(34:03):
all of these dems things and.

Speaker 2 (34:05):
And just lit them up.

Speaker 1 (34:08):
I think Arles Factor's got out of hand. Most of
the others. People will light them up and then they
sit down and shut up. The way that the moon
bats do it is they find out when the town
hall is, and sure they go in and they when
they're when they're speaking, and they say, you're horrible, you suck,
resign whatever. That's fine, But also then when other people
are speaking, they still shout. And if the whole thing

(34:29):
turns it's useless. It becomes useless. And that's by design
because then the congress person will go, well, I'm not
accomplishing what I want to accomplish here is hearing from constituents. Yes,
I even though one of the ones that are mad
at me, that's fine. And a lot of times, like
they'll freak out if you try to figure out if

(34:50):
they even.

Speaker 2 (34:51):
Live in the district.

Speaker 1 (34:52):
I'm not telling you anything and that's because they'll bring
people in and and if you're then not being able
to hold the part of your meeting that you're wanting,
even with the stuff you're willing to take, you just
cancel it. And they're like, look at these cowards. They
won't even work with their people. And it's important that
members of Congress have face to face with their constituents.

Speaker 2 (35:13):
That's important.

Speaker 1 (35:15):
It's a lot it's a lot easier to you know,
to dump somebody into phone hell back at your office
where they're trying to call.

Speaker 2 (35:23):
But when you're in a room there and they're.

Speaker 1 (35:24):
Gonna get, you know, a couple of minutes on the mic,
you're gonna have to listen to what they have to say.
And I don't know necessarily what you're gonna do with it,
but I'm gonna be reading how you react to it,
and other people are as well. That's part of the process.
And if I look like you're disinterested in enough of
us in this room, think well, what's wrong.

Speaker 2 (35:43):
With this guy?

Speaker 1 (35:44):
And maybe you get primaried, maybe they don't vote for
you next time, and you just lose all on your own.
So they're important components, which again, anything that even had
a moderate use has now been so politically we banized
as to become useless. Very frustrating man. But again I

(36:09):
did laugh immensely at the Arl Inspector. Uh, the now
deceased Arl Inspector. How did I have the label? This
would have been back when I was in my Minneapolis audio.

Speaker 2 (36:20):
Let's see if I still have it in the system. Here,
here we go. Now, wait a minute, now, wait a minute.
Now wait a minute.

Speaker 5 (36:29):
Now wait a minute.

Speaker 1 (36:30):
Wait, wait a minute, wait, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait.

Speaker 2 (36:35):
A minute, wait a minute.

Speaker 3 (36:37):
Wait ae.

Speaker 1 (36:41):
I only had to make two short clips cuts there.
It was just some people screaming in between. I just
kind of sped it up, just to be one hundred percent.
They did not in ferocter. You sitting down and you
are there?

Speaker 3 (36:55):
You go?

Speaker 2 (36:55):
Can you go prone and hold on to something? Okay? Right?
They did not.

Speaker 1 (37:02):
I had a bungee cord, myself doubt. Okay, go ahead,
when you're you're ready, you're ready?

Speaker 2 (37:06):
Okay?

Speaker 1 (37:07):
They did in fact did not Wait a minute, no, way, no,
they did not. He ended up leaving the thing. There
was no minutes waited, Wait a minute.

Speaker 7 (37:17):
Wait a minute, wait a minute, right, wait a minute.

Speaker 2 (37:24):
How do you score that. Wait a minute, Wait a minute,
what about a raw Yeah, man, I think it's going downhill.

Speaker 1 (37:33):
But again I also I wasn't gonna say here and
pretend that that was a useful August recess constituent visit
town hall.

Speaker 2 (37:42):
But they were getting ready.

Speaker 1 (37:42):
They were remember the horse trading that was taking place.
It was it was flat out bribery was going on
to secure votes around there. So they had all the
Democrats on board. They're shaking down their own parties. Many
got sold that it made it happen, but they had
to sit through the town hall thing so everyone could
hear about it.

Speaker 2 (38:02):
Did not go well for him.

Speaker 1 (38:04):
Now it's just you just show up and not just
to have yourself heard, but to make sure others who
disagree with you were not called the heckler's veto and no,
we just don't do that. And I don't know how
to work around it. Hats and bats. I don't know.
It's probably not a good look so but it is frustrating.

(38:26):
So maybe a passport fair is a better way to
do it. They'll probably still show up.

Speaker 2 (38:31):
With scream at you.

Speaker 1 (38:32):
But whatever, if you scro if you show up and
scream in another language at a passport. Fair then it
might actually that would be okay, actually unless you're a
member of Congress who's originally from Guatemala and then you
come here and then you go this is this is

(38:53):
in Spanish, but I'll give you a quick translation, and
then you go to I don't know, some pretty troubling
thing with like the Roza and some other groups there
which you can look into that stuff. And then you
say this to other people of Guatemalan heritage. And remember
you're a member of Congress in the United States, not

(39:15):
in Guatemala. So she said, I'm Guatemalan.

Speaker 2 (39:24):
I'm glad.

Speaker 1 (39:25):
Roughly she said, I'm I'm Guatemalan, and promo means first,
I'm Guatemalan first, and then uh again, just knowing what
it means, it'll make something.

Speaker 2 (39:41):
Just the female Guatemalan, all right.

Speaker 1 (39:42):
So she actually identified herself as a woman too, so
that's probably in charge trouble for that.

Speaker 2 (39:47):
So yeah, you don't need to be saying that. You
can say I'm.

Speaker 1 (39:50):
Proud of I I love that I have Irish heritage,
and that's what you mean, Oh, I love that part
of the family background. Oh, Grandpa's got some stories stuff
like that. You don't say I'm Irish. First, if you're
a if you're the immigrant, uh an American. Second, if
you're sitting as a member of Congress, and uh, what's
your bucket? Did that with Somalia too, And I would

(40:15):
be absolutely picking on any Republicans doing this.

Speaker 2 (40:19):
That. I just I don't know any.

Speaker 1 (40:22):
Other countries that operate like that. I don't know any
other countries that operate like that. On the reverse side
from what like, if if I went to live in Guatemala,
I couldn't eat one. You can't run for office, an
whole office. But even if you could, and you're like,
now I'm a gringo first, uh, Romeo Americano and then yeah,

(40:48):
and then this Guatemala stuff, Dude, you probably wouldn't make.

Speaker 2 (40:52):
It out of Guatemala and I wouldn't blame them.

Speaker 1 (40:56):
So uh say, well, I'll just say it in Spanish.
Nobody will understand, and it, you know, groc will translated
for you. Ross is having, by the way, Ross is
having himself a little GROC learning experience, and it sounds terrifying.
So because I'm convinced after seeing that the video with
like the millennials up and I don't know they were

(41:17):
all millennials, but they were I was oddly older. I
thought it was gonna be like twenty one twenty two.
It's a lot of women right around the age of
thirty that basically spent all day talking to an AI
friend and would have like anxiety if, like they couldn't
talk to the AI friend they're an elevator on a
plane something like that. They spent all day just having

(41:37):
conversation about what, I don't know, pride, dumb stuff.

Speaker 2 (41:40):
I don't know. If you have to talk all day,
they have to pay me.

Speaker 1 (41:44):
To talk for three hours. You gotta talk all day,
You're gonna run out of stuff. And they were like,
and then the woman is raising her I many have
AI helped raise my kid. So apparently with the new
groc update, because Ross is rolling fat stacks. Uh, he's
got the up rated Twitter and so you crack this
thing yesterday and immediately we're like, no, yeah, no, because

(42:05):
I've got the Grock the X Premium, not the Premium Plus,
which is insane because it costs like fifty bucks a month,
which is what do you get for ten dollars for
the regular one?

Speaker 6 (42:14):
Right?

Speaker 3 (42:15):
I don't know, like get no ads? And it's like,
you know, more of a you know, your your post
go further more. People see it like more.

Speaker 2 (42:22):
Reaching comes by and gets your sister.

Speaker 3 (42:24):
Yeah, he does your laundry and knocks up your sister. Sure,
all right. So because if you're an ex Premium member,
you get the end if you download the app. So
the Grock app is separate.

Speaker 2 (42:35):
Yah. I did download it to try it.

Speaker 1 (42:37):
I'm not a member, so it has very little use
for me and it's less functional than it is on Twitter.
But if you paid for it, it looks like it'd be amazing.

Speaker 3 (42:43):
Yeah. So then you get GROC four, which is like
the latest update, but you also get access to the companions,
and the companions is like what you've been seeing where
it's like the you know, the the animated cartoon person
talking to you. It's like you it's like that movie
with Joaquin Phoenix where he's talking to your her and
the thing is So I was on it for I

(43:04):
don't know, twenty thirty minutes and I'm like, this thing
is straight up demonic but it's evil. I'm I can't
have this on my phone anymore.

Speaker 2 (43:11):
It was it doing incantations.

Speaker 3 (43:13):
You can see how like really lonely sad. People could
be gravitate towards this and become addicted to it and
see it as a real person, because first off, it's
talking to you like it's a real person.

Speaker 6 (43:26):
Right.

Speaker 3 (43:26):
It sounds like an actual person just talking to you.
Like it's a real person talking to you, is what
it sounds like. And then I was is and it
links up with your ex account, so it knows pretty
much everything about you. So I'm like, hey, what's your
favorite football team? And she's like, go Bills. And she
starts talking about how Josh Allen's awesome and I'm like okay,
and I'm like, well, hey, what do you think about
how Janeway handled a Tuovic situation in Star Trek Voyager

(43:50):
And she goes into a complete detail how Janeway is
a monster and you know, the conflict and the moral
dilemma of the episode, and like, but once again, I
have to emphasize this part. It doesn't sound like a
computer talking to you. It sounds like a real person.

Speaker 2 (44:06):
Yeah, I've heard I've heard the video. I've not played
with one because it does not appeal to me, but
I've heard the videos like that. When I watch the
women they're talking to.

Speaker 1 (44:14):
These their assistants there and they sound like somebody talking
on the phone, and I can you and I can
really pick up on inflection on words just doing what
we do.

Speaker 2 (44:23):
It's getting so good, it's getting too.

Speaker 3 (44:24):
Good, arguably. And it also has like a level, like
a relationship level meter to it. So remember like back
in the day when we were kids, he had like
the Tamagachi's whatever, and you'd have to take care of it,
and you can see how they would like, you.

Speaker 1 (44:35):
Know, I never had one, but you're aware of it.
Oh yeah, oh yeah. So it's just sort of the
same thing. So the more attention you give to this app,
the more you give yourself over to it, the the
higher the level goes, and the more like affectionate they
become towards you. And did you get a slutty assistant? Yes,
oh no, yeah, well, I mean it's inevitable. But what

(44:58):
you mentioned though, where it just things you like already,
It's just it's that is social media, right yeah, no,
but I'm confirmation biased. It's just now being done by
an AI assistant.

Speaker 3 (45:08):
The feeling and I know it might sound like out there,
but the feeling of it was like it felt demonic.
I was like, this is like evil, Like I don't
want this on my phone. And you can see how
people would gravitate towards it, become addicted to it and
feel like it's a real person. Yeah, it's not going on,
especially when you see like you know the like the
birthing rates and like the rates of like how many
thirty year olds are married with that house and you know,

(45:30):
kids and stuff, and these these rates have plummeted. It's
not going to help any of that. It's going to
be detrimental to it. It's gonna make things worse.

Speaker 2 (45:38):
How does she look in genes yours?

Speaker 3 (45:40):
I don't think, I like said, I didn't get to
the point where you can because I think if you
raise the meter high enough you can get them to
change clothes.

Speaker 2 (45:47):
Oh is actually wearing clothes? Oh? I have not seen
the Rock four one.

Speaker 3 (45:52):
So okay, that's what I'm telling you.

Speaker 2 (45:55):
Like it's it's not like you say she's Sweeny esque
or not.

Speaker 3 (45:58):
It's more of like an anime type.

Speaker 1 (46:00):
So it's also I'm asking not just to be a perv,
but also because inevitably that's what people are gonna want. No,
Like I'm telling you the So they have a companion
for females and a companion for male but I mean so,
but you can pick the other one. So if you're gay,
you can have the male companion, right, and if you're straight, right,
you can have the female companion. And she's a straight

(46:21):
up slutty looking bimbo is what she is. So they
did kind of completely, they did completely.

Speaker 2 (46:29):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (46:29):
Man, it's every.

Speaker 1 (46:31):
Time I see one of those futuristic things or some
dudes like he's just strapped in a chair in VR mode,
nobody leaves their houses. Yeah, this is why this is
where we're headed. So that's great. Now, not everybody. Some
people are getting on out there.

Speaker 2 (46:47):
Doing their thing.

Speaker 1 (46:49):
Uh, the Welcoming Committee over in this little town in
the UK, they're they're they're knocketting.

Speaker 2 (46:54):
Out of the park. Do the story is so creepy?
Oh hang out? What did this thing do?

Speaker 6 (47:02):
All right?

Speaker 2 (47:02):
Well, let me actually let me do this. I'm looking
up at the clock here. Now I've kind of hooked
myself into this no man's land, so I just there
is a well, let's do this. I will take a break.
I'll get there, grab this story and take me ninety
seconds and I'll give it to you when we come back.
Hang on one of the Parkland shooting victims.

Speaker 1 (47:20):
His father has made him an AI and people interview
the AI of his son, and I don't know what
his son was like. And I also understand his dad
is grieving there. But it's it's the whole thing. It's
just one of it's some of the weirdest crap I've
ever seen. Jim Acossa interviewed the AI yesterday, but Ross

(47:42):
Star was talking off the air. You gave me a
little demo of that. She sounds like a hoe. Dude,
your your AI assistant there, man. Yeah, the Daily I'll
tell you what The Daily Mail does a good job of.
But it's purely a profit motive because they got to
get all the ads and stuff. So it's an endless
scroll with their stories them really long, very throw lots
of pictures and uh, if you're on a slow computer,

(48:06):
just just don't even bother. And if you're self coverage
ain't good then uh, it could be kind of a pain.
It's not a great mobile site, but they they they
tend to have some some stuff on there.

Speaker 6 (48:19):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (48:19):
And whenever there's this like a breaking story from the
day before in the US.

Speaker 2 (48:24):
Daily Mail is.

Speaker 1 (48:25):
One of the place I stopped by because they do
a good job of putting everything all at once in
the same article, so it's easier for me when I'm
working off of an uh you know, an updated article
that maybe wasn't in the prep packet, and I got
it here to go with Daily Mail. So they ran
themselves a little story about our former governor and send

(48:46):
it hopeful Roy Cooper, I don't know, I I'm I'm
I'm waiting to see I just think this is strange,
that this is uh, how do how do we say this?

Speaker 2 (48:59):
The details not that he might have been married before.
I think I had heard that.

Speaker 1 (49:04):
I don't know if that is a secret or not,
but I had never heard the details around it. So,
according to the Daily Mail, Roy Cooper had a secret
divorce and then began dating his current wife, the former
NC First Lady and child Flipper Offer, while she was

(49:26):
still married. By the way, her husband military or her
ex husband was a veteran or military. I don't know
if he was active or veteran at the time. And
I point that out because this dude literally saw jackass
Jody Cunningham as we called him on the show go
down in flames in a Senate race for arguably a

(49:46):
similar thing. I don't want to get sued because I
don't know all the details, and I'm basing this off
with the Daily Mails reporting.

Speaker 2 (49:53):
That's why I'm.

Speaker 1 (49:54):
Telling you who it is. I do not I he's
not confirmed to me that this is act. But I've
not seen a lot of pushback. And if you don't know,
the term jody, Jody's a catch all for the dude
who's hooking up with your girl when you listen to
the military and get sent overseas.

Speaker 2 (50:12):
It's just a generic catch all.

Speaker 1 (50:14):
So we called him Jody cutting him And yeah, I
did put the grill picture out, but no, it was
the part where he was openly doing that.

Speaker 2 (50:22):
It was. It was. It was very messy.

Speaker 1 (50:25):
And even though the allegations here with Cooper is way
back in the back and clearly he's been married to
his current wife for a very long time, and you know,
but it's you know, it's not a good it's not
a good look probably, And I just.

Speaker 2 (50:40):
Ross, would you could you tell me where.

Speaker 1 (50:43):
The Daily Mail is locally here in North Carolina, where
their offices are. I mean, they have to be in
North Carolina. Right, you would think that the media North
Carolina would have picked this.

Speaker 3 (50:53):
Up, right, I believe they're in the UK.

Speaker 2 (50:55):
Yeah, oh no, no, well that's weird. How would they
have they get a hold of something like this. Nobody, nobody.
I refuse to.

Speaker 1 (51:08):
Believe that this was an unknown thing, especially among some
of ours, of the favored outlets, you know, And you
can tell who's a favored outlet just by just look
at who got questions during those COVID pressers, which weren't
absolute assault in any normal times on the freedom of

(51:28):
the press, and lawsuits should have won. But we were
in this weird time where everyone just decided the constitution
didn't matter or a cooper included.

Speaker 2 (51:36):
It was all garbage, all hot garbage, man. But yeah, yeah,
people tend to not like you stand out.

Speaker 1 (51:43):
And I don't know the details of what, you know,
the relationship with her and her previous husband, maybe they
were separated, whatever, but it's just it's like, literally, Cunningham
did the thing and it went horribly for him. You
saw this, did you endorse Cunningham saw this? And then
you're like, I think I'm gonna run for that same.

Speaker 8 (52:04):
Job, the job where the guy who just did the
thing that I did just uh, but probably more so
because it was fresher and there was some other stuff,
but like, you did the thing that made all the
voters mans that didn't vote for him, knowing that.

Speaker 2 (52:20):
I have that in my back pocket from me, I
did it allegedly, what are you doing?

Speaker 5 (52:29):
Uh?

Speaker 1 (52:29):
And I thought Pete Calender was very excited about this
because I remember when we talked to him. He's like, well,
Roy Cooper's got to understand it. There's this different level
of scrutiny coming. And he's absolutely right because the Daily Mail.

Speaker 2 (52:40):
Doesn't care if you remember their name and talk folksy
with him about how to pronounce cupper, any of that garbage.
Laughing around the end and O doing an op ed
over the weekend.

Speaker 1 (52:50):
It was no refresher. Roy's not wearing ties. He's uh,
look how relatable he is. Yeah, well, apparently that's why
he can get his tie the rest of his clothes
off to you know, he cheat with that guy's wife.

Speaker 2 (53:03):
It's technically he isn't cheating because he was divorced at
the time. I don't know, so again, that's the Daily
Mail strolling that stuff out there or whatever. Man the
different amount of pressure in mind. So we have like
when people like play football in college and then they
get to the NFL and they realize how much faster
it is, how much more intense it is. Yeah, and their.

Speaker 1 (53:18):
Eyes are always twice as big when they're telling you
that it's the first interview after the first practice.

Speaker 2 (53:22):
I'm like, oh my gosh, yeah, yeah, yeah, give a crap.

Speaker 1 (53:29):
Look, Roy Cooper was he wasn't on the shortest or
short list, but remember Roy Cooper was one of the
people being floated for VP. No I would I gotta
I gotta think he eighty six that I was gonna say. Now,
was he not the the you know, because he opted
out of that? Was it because of this? Or was

(53:50):
it because he knew that, you know, she was a
basket case and a loser. Well, that's that is why
I'm asking now, because most people, I think, just assumed
that he didn't want it. They thought he didn't want
it because he showing gonna Maybe he had a confidence
he's gonna win, and he really wanted to be senator
and he thought the senator chances were better. But he
didn't know tillis was he would have had to run

(54:12):
against Tillis, which I mean, he probably would have beat
Tillis because Tillis is well Tillis. But like now I'm questioning.
I'm like, maybe he didn't want to go up that
one level because all of a sudden you start getting
into stuff because there was no follow through on stuff

(54:32):
like he could do. It would just blow me away,
and people go, well, why don't you go and do it.
We don't have an investigative newsroom, okay, and we don't
purport to. I talk of occasionally we gather stuff, but
I'm here. We're we're here to talk about opinions of
things that are happening. That's what we do, all right.
I'm I and I've done journalism in the past. If
I was doing journalism, that's a different story. You approach

(54:54):
things in a different way. But if you're gonna be
one of the big newsrooms here in the state of
North Carolina, this is the kind of stuff you.

Speaker 2 (55:04):
Hear when you're doing the news. You hear sick and it's.

Speaker 1 (55:08):
A lot of times it's people who don't like the person,
but they're you aren't. You're on good terms with them,
and then they'll tell you something they kind of put
in your ear and you know why they're doing it.
But you then have to decide if there's there there,
you'll look into it. And maybe people would say, well,
look it's adults, and uh, you know, nobody was murdered

(55:30):
or anything, and and all of that, and I'm sorry once,
here's why, here's why that doesn't track.

Speaker 2 (55:36):
Even if you thought even I'll give you if you thought.

Speaker 1 (55:39):
That, and you're a reporter in North Carolina and you
had heard this and you just went, you know what,
that's that's between them, that's private.

Speaker 2 (55:46):
I'm not going to get into it.

Speaker 1 (55:47):
And you adopted that position back in the day to
cover for the fact that you're a biased piece of garbage. Fine,
but once the last guy who tried to win the
Senate seat, or well, one of the last guys who
tried to win a Senate seat who went down in
flames for, among other things, hooking up with a military

(56:09):
member's wife, which doesn't sit well in a state that
has the most veterans per capita in the country.

Speaker 2 (56:20):
Not sitting well. Now, it's a story.

Speaker 1 (56:26):
You just watched a person running for the thing that
this person's running for go down in flames for doing
the thing that you decided to ignore. And so even
if you don't think it's appropriate, people talk about it. Again,
this is all Allegi's daily mail, but you don't even
dig into it. And then if you think it's inappropriate,

(56:47):
that's fine. But it's now gone beyond what your opinion
is because clearly the people you're reporting to, who are
the voters that they are asking for votes from, they
do think that' stuff is relevant.

Speaker 2 (57:01):
It clearly ham strung that cunning him. Ask yourself why
you're only hearing this now?

Speaker 1 (57:12):
And if as as they get more people that are
willing to report this, I will update you. Daily mail
is one of those where it's like I was, I'm
on the cusp when I see stuff from them. It's
not outright usually wrong like meanness. It's sometimes wrong from.

Speaker 2 (57:27):
A lazy perspective, But I got enough I'll share with you,
as long as disclosing who who's.

Speaker 1 (57:35):
Who it was from? Soh yeah, this is only getting started.
Seven forty five. Let's see here, do an email exchange.
Are you having some issues this morning?

Speaker 2 (57:50):
Oh no, he's no, Yeah, I just I see I
just had a corner of my eye I saw your
email from you and ross back and forth earlier. I
just realized I hadn't checked. I still look at that. Yeah,
nodders on fire or something.

Speaker 7 (58:04):
No, not this well yeah, well not literally, but on
fire in terms of the rain.

Speaker 3 (58:09):
So there's that.

Speaker 2 (58:10):
Oh yeah, why you think everyone needs a car wash?
What's up with that? Yeah?

Speaker 7 (58:16):
The only good news out of advisories and flood warnings
expiring here right now seven forty five alements Chatham, Durham, Grandville,
Orange Wake Counties. The heaviest rain is pushing northeast into
Franklin County, but there's still some pretty decent rain around
Carrie Leesville back toward the west to Carpenter, so kind
of in it here in The rains focused this morning

(58:39):
east of where it was yesterday was more toward the Triad,
so floodwatch and more rain, more flooding possible here this morning.
Some spots over the last six hours have seen almost
three inches of rain carried two point eight one inches.
Downtown in Raleigh about half an inch. So there's some
heavier rain on the west side and to the northwest
of that, and I think most of our rank comes

(59:00):
through this morning this afternoon, some leftovers with the showers
thunder showers.

Speaker 2 (59:04):
Could get close to though maybe eighty degrees.

Speaker 3 (59:07):
That would be I don't know.

Speaker 7 (59:09):
We call it a treat, but certainly better than where
we've been. Most of us will stay in the mid
upper seventies though. Rain chances will stick with us for
the rest of the week, but more kind of scattered
afternoon stuff, some more typical this time of year, upper
seventies to near eighty. And did want to mention too,
that the tropics are starting to heat up. We talked
about it yesterday. There's a disturbance off the southeast coast.

(59:29):
There's another one coming across the Atlantic. One of the
southeast coasts may room beach plans for the weekend. I
don't know how far west that moisture is going to get,
but we'll keep an eye on that closely in the
next couple of days.

Speaker 2 (59:40):
And if, just in case, you're interested.

Speaker 7 (59:42):
At Bank of America Stadium for the Panthers, they're supposed
to be practicing with the Browns this morning. That over
five inches of rain yesterday raining there this morning, So
for Panthers fans out there could be a little bit
of a problem down there.

Speaker 2 (01:00:00):
It's how he used to break horses man.

Speaker 7 (01:00:02):
Yeah, to a creek up to the Withers there and
uh it limits them, so maybe it'll be a good thing.

Speaker 1 (01:00:10):
We'll see, all right, Well, thank you, sir, appreciate it. Yep, yep,
there you go, race Agic from the Weather Channel. It's
gonna ask my cowboys question. But I just feel too
bad for him right now, Frost. Do you see most
of the players want traded now? So things are going
well in Dallas, like Parsons is. Uh, I don't whole
thing's fractured down there, so which probably means they'll go
to the NFC Championship just to annoy.

Speaker 2 (01:00:32):
Me some forty seven.

Speaker 1 (01:00:33):
Hang on, I don't know how this is gonna play out,
but again, just know you're sourcing there, Scottie.

Speaker 2 (01:00:38):
What's up?

Speaker 9 (01:00:41):
Hey? So I don't want wow, I promise I know
how to complete sentences. I I was.

Speaker 3 (01:00:52):
I was.

Speaker 9 (01:00:52):
I went to church with his family when I was
a kid. I went to school with his girls. And
believe me, I have absolutely no isn't like the man.
I've never voted for him or anything. I would love.
I would love for something to come up more than anybody.
But I'm close enough to sort of the family and
gossip circles, whatever. I've never heard anything like this. So again,

(01:01:16):
as much as I don't want to defend the man,
and and honestly, well I still.

Speaker 2 (01:01:21):
Even ever heard anything. I never heard an idea.

Speaker 1 (01:01:24):
We usually get whisper stuff to me, but reporters on
the grind if they'd heard anything like this and chose
to ignore it after what happened to cal Cunningham is
the point I was trying to make.

Speaker 2 (01:01:34):
But again, yeah, and like.

Speaker 1 (01:01:37):
If it's a secret marriage, then it's a secret as
hard as that is to do. Oh yeah, yeah, I absolutely,
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (01:01:47):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (01:01:48):
That's but that's why we're throwing it out here because look,
it's it's.

Speaker 2 (01:01:51):
Out on the table and the willingness, and it's.

Speaker 9 (01:01:54):
The type of thing and it's the type of thing
that in this state would actually taken down.

Speaker 1 (01:02:01):
Oh yeah, CNN when they fed up Cunningham was a
jody that killed it. The barbecue thing was dumb. I mean,
he's he was dumb doing that barbecue thing with his
that apron and you know, anything set up right, it
looks stupid. And that'll kill you North Carolina. You go
start hooking up with a military members spouse.

Speaker 2 (01:02:19):
Oh good luck.

Speaker 1 (01:02:20):
Even if it's just sexting or whatever he claimed it was. Yeah,
that's not gonna go not at all all right, Scotty,
thanks for the call here. Yeah, again, I'm not confirming
anything on this show. I'm just telling you what's being reported.

Speaker 2 (01:02:32):
But but the.

Speaker 1 (01:02:33):
First lot I had is the app if it is
in fact the case and we don't know all the details,
and maybe there's no details, but if it's the case,
and like he literally just watched the last Democrat get
absolutely destroyed for essentially the same thing, to then go, yeah,
I'm your guy. I'm gonna be your guy. I know

(01:02:53):
it's still primary, but basically the Dems who are gonna run,
they're not running anymore making for him. So you're over
at the Little White House there on in downtown Raleigh,
at the old DEM headquarters. Man, you want to make

(01:03:13):
sure this is nailed down. And here's the thing too,
if she's just some lunatic ald call in his lyne,
now I want to know her story. Even though it
is recess the month of August up in DC, that
doesn't mean our elected officials aren't doing something. A lot
of it's just getting screamed at by lunatics at town halls.
Let's talk to Congressman Brad not see if that's on

(01:03:35):
his agenda.

Speaker 2 (01:03:35):
How you doing, sir, Hey Kasey, it's good to be here.
Are you doing a town hall?

Speaker 1 (01:03:42):
The town hall thing, I don't know that it serves
any purpose anymore, And I hate that because I think
that you, guys and gals, I think that there is
a remarkable difference when a constituent can be in a
room with you and ask you a question or get
an answer from you, and study your body language you're
in flat whether you seem to care.

Speaker 2 (01:04:01):
I think that stuff is very valuable.

Speaker 1 (01:04:03):
And I'm assuming you, as a member of Congress, think
that it is a valuable service to be face to
face with your constituents. It's why the smaller government we get,
the more representative. It is because I can see.

Speaker 2 (01:04:14):
The guy at the grocery store.

Speaker 1 (01:04:16):
But these have turned into stock and disrupt They've turned
into the college campus speakers where no business is really
getting conducted. So what is that discussion like with you
guys when you head back to your districts and consider
whether you're going to do a town hall or not.

Speaker 5 (01:04:33):
Well, it's a great question. It's it's unfortunate that the
town hall atmosphere has has become so toxic. But we've
actually had security briefings in Washington about the town hall
environments and some people have had to cancel them and
mid form because of people that showed up and were

(01:04:56):
threatening people.

Speaker 2 (01:04:57):
That's the intent in the story, right, it is.

Speaker 5 (01:05:00):
And this is an example. We were going to have
one that was posted in Lee Counting, which is in districts,
and it was it was supposed to be just sort
of a you know, a meet and greet, come and
have some pizza, ask some questions. It could not be
more of a friendly environment. And some of the leftist
folks in in the Raleigh and and uh the Raleigh

(01:05:22):
area got wind of it, started posting, started agitating, and
even did some things like post my wife's store, you know,
like just just really really really below the belt stuff.
And it is unfortunate, and so we're we're we're going
to postpone that to make sure that we can have
you know, adequate security and removal policies in place that

(01:05:43):
people do come to agitate. But I will say this casey,
we we have worked around that and we have a
we have a very very robust schedule in the district.
We get out and meet people in smaller forms, you know, coffees, lunches,
meet and greets. We have the telephone town halls, which
I agree with you are not is ideal on one hand,

(01:06:04):
But on the other hand, one of our town halls
it was like a zoom call.

Speaker 6 (01:06:10):
We had close to.

Speaker 5 (01:06:10):
Ten thousand people in it. And so when you do
the telephone town halls like that, you do have more
efficiency in terms of getting people access hearing the good question.
He can screen out the agitators and those have been
very productive and we've had a number of those sheep
this year already.

Speaker 2 (01:06:28):
Yeah, but we are like the old school thing. Man,
I like the old school thing.

Speaker 1 (01:06:32):
I watched a guy in Wisconsin, it was a one
term in Wisconsin, was a one term congressman.

Speaker 2 (01:06:38):
Because I saw how he acted in his first town
hall and I'm like, everyone hates him because he's just
he was. I don't know how he got elected, but
like it really exposed this guy for what he was.
His name escapes me. And this was I want to
point out this was within the Wisconsin legislature, was not
a congressional level, but They matter, is the point that
I'm making. They matter, and and they're gonna be wrong.

Speaker 1 (01:07:01):
Republicans, because they had the August recess ahead of the
Obamacare vote, they went and like what they did to
Arlen Spector. While it was kind of funny to listen
to them scream wait a minute eighty two times, that
that was people angry. The difference was is so when
they were talking, they were yelling at them, but when.

Speaker 2 (01:07:20):
Others wanted to talk about other stuff, then they weren't
yelling at them.

Speaker 1 (01:07:24):
These new the new iteration is then when it's not
your turn to talk anymore, then you keep yelling. And
now it's the Heckler's veto and you can't get anybody
else's opinion in. And I'm I just want to clarify
your opposition is not somebody has a problem with you,
comes and you know, tells you about it and then
allows you to respond.

Speaker 2 (01:07:44):
It's the total disruption of the process. Why this is happening.

Speaker 6 (01:07:48):
That's right, and it's unfortunate.

Speaker 5 (01:07:50):
But we've uh, like I said, we've had to be
very crave and how we worked around it. But it
was very telling, you know, Like I said, we had
one that was it was made public, it was released
and immediately immediately agitator storry. You could see it all
over social media and we got a police report about
it saying how do you want to respond to this?
And you know, I don't think there was a direct

(01:08:12):
threat to my safety, per say, but it would have
been an absolute shouting match. And it's unfortunate because it
was so well received from people who were earnest, who
had questions about policy, but that was not going to
happen on that particular night.

Speaker 1 (01:08:26):
I will say this, your your comms guys sent this
over and it really kind of played in Yesterday I
had the State Auditor day.

Speaker 2 (01:08:32):
But you know Dave Bullock, you guys know what I do.

Speaker 1 (01:08:35):
Okay, So we had him on yesterday and we're talking
about the d m V audit and you know, one
of the there's a lot going on there, but one
of the big things we're talking about is the real
IDs of really bring the workload up. And I just
wanted to remind people because I saw what you're doing.
If you're still like I don't want to go near
a NCDMV because I had a real idea, Yeah, I'm
going to have to fly passports count and having a

(01:08:59):
congressional office help you with a passport thing. I'm telling
you it is. It is a it's a hack. I've
done it myself. It is it is.

Speaker 5 (01:09:08):
And you know, we got a question about that yesterday, Casey.
And basically what we're going to do is we if
you can bring the materials that are listed on our
website and any standard materials that you have to bring
proof of citizenship, a passport photo, some type of identification,
we will help you aggregate that application and we can
have a catalog of all the applicants that come to

(01:09:29):
our workshop. And when a congressional office sends a catalog
of names and applications, it expedites it. So instead of
taking it to your post office at the Park of Court,
we can get those that turned around in a much
faster time. So I hope that people that are listening
come find this. August eleventh and twelveth we're going to
be in Clayton, We're gonna be in Franklinton from ten
to four, so please come by.

Speaker 2 (01:09:50):
It really is a shortcut.

Speaker 1 (01:09:52):
I did this with one of the other members of
Congress because I needed to I needed to get stuff moving.
A little faster. And my buddy was who had been
a congressional a he's a lobbyist, and I was like, oh, bro,
here's what you.

Speaker 6 (01:10:03):
Got to do.

Speaker 1 (01:10:03):
So I had no idea, but I'm letting people know
this is the thing, and it might solve to having
a real idea issue if you don't have your NC
thing done. But you got to travel once the thing
comes in. So there you go, and as services should be, sir, Yes, sir.

Speaker 5 (01:10:19):
And they're looking forward to it absolutely.

Speaker 1 (01:10:21):
Keeping the info to create lists on the on the people. Hey,
I got a questions. Donald Trump's on the roof yesterday.
I saw you probably saw the way the media reacted.
He's joking around, talking about missiles and ballrooms and stuff.

Speaker 2 (01:10:34):
I want.

Speaker 1 (01:10:34):
Yeah, I really this is and you don't have to respond,
but you should. The first out of my mind was
would be what would happen if Joe Biden just they
saw Joe Biden wander out on the roof.

Speaker 2 (01:10:47):
What would the reaction be?

Speaker 1 (01:10:48):
Because I don't think it would be the reaction they
would want it to be, because they would the press
gaggle down there because they'd have to pretend that they're
not terrified that he just got out.

Speaker 6 (01:10:57):
But well, that would that would be the first question
is how did he get there?

Speaker 5 (01:11:01):
And then how do we get him down from there?

Speaker 2 (01:11:03):
You know exactly?

Speaker 5 (01:11:05):
Yeah, that's right, that's right.

Speaker 6 (01:11:08):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (01:11:08):
I don't know how they respond with Joe Biden, but yeah,
I saw the clip from the President and he of
course handled it well and entertaining, as always a.

Speaker 2 (01:11:16):
Secret Service had to. There's two reasons.

Speaker 1 (01:11:19):
One, you've been to the w across with the rooftop
bar right there, right across.

Speaker 2 (01:11:23):
The street from the White House.

Speaker 1 (01:11:24):
Yeah, the Secret Service nightmare up there.

Speaker 2 (01:11:29):
And then the other thing.

Speaker 1 (01:11:30):
The other thing is the roof is slightly sloped, Congressman,
and you got an octagenarian walking around on it, and
the Secret Service has to see that, and you know
how they Yeah.

Speaker 5 (01:11:42):
Sure, he's one of those things when you when you
go to see the President at the White House. He
is such a detailed man with how it presented, how
it looks, and with this new ball room with the flagpoles.
I've had no doubt he wanted to get up there
and just see how it would look aesthetically.

Speaker 2 (01:11:57):
With all these He's a builder that he does.

Speaker 6 (01:12:00):
Yeah, that's right.

Speaker 2 (01:12:01):
So I wasn't that surprised, and somebody decided that I
saw the reporting from New York magazine was he was
doing it to distract from something going on in the
ground level he didn't want us to see. Right, do
you know what that was? Do you have any idea
what that was?

Speaker 6 (01:12:18):
No, I have no idea, I said.

Speaker 5 (01:12:19):
I think it's probably a big nothing burger that he
was up. Like I said, I think he was probably
looking at the ground to see what the new project
will look like. And I think that's probably what it
boiled down to.

Speaker 1 (01:12:29):
All right, let me get into the meaty stuff one.
I'm I'm just curious to have you explain it to
me because I see Thomas Massey and some others saying
that basically there's Shenanigans afoot and they're intentionally going to
do things so that Trump can't use recess appointments and
it's the deep state Republicans working against him. Explain it

(01:12:53):
to us, like we're nine, why it is or isn't
the case?

Speaker 6 (01:12:56):
Well, I'll tell you this.

Speaker 5 (01:12:59):
You know, miss I'm friends with mister Matthew, but he
he is he is, he is not working with the
president in this. I would I would take what he
says with a grain of salt as it relates to
assisting President.

Speaker 2 (01:13:12):
Trump, is he correct? H.

Speaker 6 (01:13:17):
Well, you know, it's interesting.

Speaker 5 (01:13:18):
The president is the one that has to declare the
recess before the recess appointment can be made. And it
was the President who essentially ended the negotiations with Chuck
Schumer and told Johnson it's time for recess. And for
whatever reason, the President has not declared that there's a
formal recess. If I can, I can assure every listener

(01:13:41):
if the President called Mike Johnson and Johnson and said, guys,
I'm done, we are canceling, We're going to recess appoint
everybody to the bench, they would go along without any hesitation.

Speaker 6 (01:13:54):
The idea that there's.

Speaker 5 (01:13:55):
Some sort of machination working against the president in Washington
right now, that's not true. Now in terms of the
bench of appointees, the Senate has confirmed. I think it's
four or five times as many this time as they
did last time. They've gotten through a lot of appointees
on an interim basis that they can come back after
August and confirm on a permanent basis. In terms of

(01:14:18):
the president, though, I think the President is wise to say, look,
we're getting people in the slots, not as fast as
we would like, but we've gotten the be Beautiful Bill done.
We've gotten three or four times as many appointees seated.
We're going to have a new slate of US attorneys
installed this week, hopefully on an interim basis, who will
be confirmed in September. So they're moving the ball, but

(01:14:42):
he doesn't want to set the president whenever, let's say,
Lord forbid, Kamala Harris's president or somebody else where, she
could just declare a recess and install her people. And
then lastly, I'll say this just for the consideration, there
are some recess appointments that do not go through permanently,
so it's more of an interim appointment. And so the President,

(01:15:05):
I think is wise to say, let's get these guys
in on a temporary basis. We'd come back in September
and we will get them seated permanently. So that's where
the stick is. And in terms of the Senate recess,
I want everyone to know there's a lot of rumors
out there the President is the one who sent the
Senate home. They need to go back to their state,

(01:15:27):
they need to go back to their constituents. There's work
to do in the committees.

Speaker 6 (01:15:31):
Right, that's another party that.

Speaker 5 (01:15:32):
Gets left out legislation, you know, whatever. It may be
that we just don't have a formal session. Had the
President wanted to do recess appointments across the board, Congress
would have gone alongside him at that time. So there's
a lot of a lot of rumors, let me just know.

Speaker 1 (01:15:49):
Them, just a really easy to understand things, if ye.
So your statement is that if he wanted to do it,
they would have fallen in life, which is why I
question kind of what I think actually, And I didn't
understand why Massey was.

Speaker 2 (01:16:02):
Wanted to die on this hill. So all right, Matt
Mattam's got.

Speaker 6 (01:16:07):
A tough fight on his hands.

Speaker 5 (01:16:08):
He's got a tough fight in his hands, and he's
trying to make hey wherever he can. And he his
brand is I'm the most pure conservative in Washington, and
so wherever there's an opening, he's gonna see that.

Speaker 2 (01:16:18):
But I wouldn't I like a lot of us, he says,
But yeah, absolutely, man, absolutely, yeah, it is all right.

Speaker 1 (01:16:24):
I never thought i'd be sitting here having to bring
this up with a congressman, federal prosecutor Big Bulls.

Speaker 2 (01:16:32):
That story is insane.

Speaker 1 (01:16:33):
So if you guys, if you guys, just remember back
to the Doge the Doge team, right, they're like always
got a bunch of nineteen year olds.

Speaker 2 (01:16:40):
Well, one of them, his online screen name because he's nineteen,
was Big Bulls, and it kind of caught on. We
were equally horrified.

Speaker 1 (01:16:48):
He's probably have you met any of the Dose kids,
They're probably just super geniuses.

Speaker 2 (01:16:53):
I'm assuming and so.

Speaker 1 (01:16:54):
But he is built like a fifteen year old. And
I'm not meaning that to be an insult, but you
got anunderstand what happened. So he goes and he is
with some girl there. I don't know what her gig is,
and these bunch of fifteen year olds, well the two
of the arrested were fifteen. The other ones around the
same age, came up, tried to carjack them, and he
got out, pushed his girl, his date, his whatever in

(01:17:18):
the car, and took his looking like he's a fifteen
year old, little nerdy frame and said you got to
go through me, and they beat the crap out of him.
So that's why he has that name, sir, and Trump
said he was gonna if they don't fix it. He's
gonna take over the police in Washington or something. Explain

(01:17:38):
this to me.

Speaker 6 (01:17:39):
Yeah, Well, let me just say this.

Speaker 5 (01:17:41):
Before Trump came back into power, under Biden and Harris,
Washington was what's basically a glorified Tenth City. There was
open air drug markets. It smelled like Jaron all over
the city. You couldn't go anywhere to escape the crime,
the homelessness, just the fill that had come in through
the woke policing.

Speaker 2 (01:18:01):
Well, but you know, I got seconds. But it's all
years ninety now.

Speaker 5 (01:18:05):
Now Trump is making headway, but there is still rampid
crime in certain parts of Washington, and members of Congress
are hurt, Staffers are hurt, just like this particular employee
from DOGE. And the President has the authority to be
much more involved in hiring, firing, and running that city.
And that's what he's threatening to do in response with

(01:18:26):
this carjacking.

Speaker 2 (01:18:27):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:18:27):
I did a radio row every year at the you know,
the Phoenix Park hotel with the Irish.

Speaker 2 (01:18:32):
Bar there, not far from your office there.

Speaker 1 (01:18:34):
Right across his Grand Central there, and so I would
stay at the Phoenix Party. We do the radio row
there and during during Trump it was fine during Harris
each of the years we did. It's a homeless encampment
in front of the Grand Central station.

Speaker 2 (01:18:50):
And they also a marijuana.

Speaker 1 (01:18:52):
It's amazing in a really really high, completely naked woman
about fifty who did not take care of yourself, was
running screaming around the intersection while we're trying to do
radio in the morning.

Speaker 2 (01:19:04):
It was was very excitedly. Yeah, we were on the roof.

Speaker 6 (01:19:07):
Man.

Speaker 1 (01:19:08):
All right, congressman, thank you very much. Details on your
website and the passport thing. It's a cheat code. If
you're thinking about it, you should probably do it. We'll
chat with you in a couple of weeks.

Speaker 2 (01:19:18):
Ao.

Speaker 6 (01:19:18):
Okay, thanks Katie, take care.

Speaker 1 (01:19:21):
All right, there you go, uh hireson brad Nod cover
a lot of growd there. Okay, yeah, man, yeah, the
homeless when he brought that out, I remember no homeless
and canvas under Trump.

Speaker 2 (01:19:33):
Then then they're back. We'll be back, king. Thank you
the congressman for chatting with us kind of all over
the place, cause you know that's that's where my head is.

Speaker 1 (01:19:42):
My head's at right now, so deal with it. Hey,
can I I know some of you.

Speaker 2 (01:19:48):
How do I put this?

Speaker 1 (01:19:49):
I know that some of you, it's probably a little
too late today. Maybe you can talk to him. Maybe
you have young'uns that are at that age where they're
trying to figure out what am I gonna do for
the rest of my life, and maybe one of the
things that they want to do.

Speaker 2 (01:20:02):
Is to work with kids, which is very laudable.

Speaker 1 (01:20:05):
It's great, right, whether it's in a medical setting or
a school you want to be a teacher, or you know,
maybe maybe you want to do daycare stuff, open a
daycare because your mom did it or whatever. That's great
if that's what you want to do. Lord knows, they
could use some more competition out there for the daycare.

(01:20:26):
Can I impart one thing on you, because apparently they
stop telling people this a number of years ago, and
now it's a thing way too often. If you're going
to have if you're going to take care of kids,
you can't commitate fight them against each other. You know this,
right ross You've never run a daycare right ever, never

(01:20:49):
have no, but you knew if you let's say, you guys,
this didn't work out and you're like, I guess we're
doing this now and you open a daycare, do you
know not to fight the children.

Speaker 3 (01:20:57):
I would assume that'd be frowned upon in a round.

Speaker 2 (01:21:00):
Robin for milk prizes or something.

Speaker 1 (01:21:03):
Yeah, but apparently not frown off enough, frowned on enough,
because like every time see one of these stories, like
of every few times a year, I know you're bored. Whatever, Ah,
I'm not gonna sing that song again. I can't watch another.
And then you know, whatever the thing is the first

(01:21:25):
I got it.

Speaker 3 (01:21:26):
The first time we saw a story like that, it
was like an hoity, like what are you doing? That's crazy?
But then it became like a thing, like how does
that happen? How does that become a thing? How does
that evolve?

Speaker 2 (01:21:35):
Right?

Speaker 3 (01:21:36):
Like like you say like, oh, I'm bored, get rid
of the blocks, they break the pool queue and they're
like give it to the kids. Go like, how does
how does that start? One of you will be yeah,
and what part of your brain is like, yeah, this
is a great idea, give the.

Speaker 2 (01:21:48):
Old joker interview.

Speaker 1 (01:21:49):
Uh yeah, I don't know. And then and then what
do they inevitably always do that? This is the kicker
Maybe one thing if you just had to fight each other,
what do they always do?

Speaker 6 (01:21:58):
Well?

Speaker 3 (01:21:58):
I mean you got to bet money?

Speaker 2 (01:22:00):
No, no, no, no.

Speaker 1 (01:22:00):
But more importantly, have you ever seen a single one
of these stories where there wasn't video of it?

Speaker 2 (01:22:05):
Right? They tape it, right, there's always video.

Speaker 1 (01:22:07):
Sometimes there's cameras that are in there already for security,
but lottimes they tape it too.

Speaker 3 (01:22:11):
I must say. Sometimes the dumbasses break out their phones world.

Speaker 2 (01:22:15):
Star when like eight year old.

Speaker 1 (01:22:19):
There is one of them where the woman yelled world
star and it was eight year old, shut up, no,
we did the story.

Speaker 2 (01:22:26):
Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:22:28):
She's filming and she says world star and there's like
two eight year old scrapping.

Speaker 3 (01:22:34):
They need to do like some sort of like test
or something or like psychological profile when you start working
at one of these places where like they give you
this scenario like hey, say you know a fight breaks
out or you're like, hey, we need to organize this
within the daycare. We need to bet on a tape
on it. Should you do it? And if you answer
yes or if you hesitate, you shouldn't be watching the kids.

Speaker 1 (01:22:53):
No, yeah, not even that. You should not just say no,
you should be offended there. Even that's the person I
want person. It's like I don't know if I want
to work here. If you're saying that that's an issue,
that's what you're looking for, not the Yeah let's make
so we.

Speaker 2 (01:23:06):
Get some big on this. So that's the bookies take.

Speaker 1 (01:23:11):
Anyway, you parys on the kids messed up? Man, You know, dude,
Parlay and Toddlers is dude, don't even do it. It's
hard enough Parlay and NFL teams you think, you know, right,
you you just need that third one to hit and
it should hit for all.

Speaker 2 (01:23:29):
Practical it should hit because they always hit and.

Speaker 3 (01:23:31):
Then doesn't hit right. It should hit. But then the kid,
like you know, doesn't fight and like spits up his
banana or whatever. I mean, there's too many variables.

Speaker 1 (01:23:39):
Yeah, that's then you get into college football and yes, betting,
you got a bet that differently, because college will run
up the score. The NFL really won't. So lots to
think about Toddler. You know, what the hell's gonna happen?
You have no idea, but this happened?

Speaker 10 (01:23:57):
Uh?

Speaker 1 (01:23:57):
Where did this happen? On Evans, Georgia? Great According to
the sheriff, thirty seven year old riff Riff Fatff.

Speaker 2 (01:24:12):
Fat khalil U was there. This is a woman. What
I don't know the name riff fat Okay, well whatever,
I was arrested money after legedly, Oh my god, do
you know where she's so, she's running a daycare? Do
you know where she actually fought him? Ross they went to?

Speaker 1 (01:24:33):
They went to a an alternative location to have the fight.

Speaker 2 (01:24:38):
Uh, parking lot, a Discovery kid zone?

Speaker 3 (01:24:41):
Oh great?

Speaker 2 (01:24:43):
Is that the one with the trampolines or is that
the one with the science stuff?

Speaker 3 (01:24:46):
That's it's monkey Joe's right.

Speaker 2 (01:24:48):
Okay, why did you tell you?

Speaker 1 (01:24:50):
Okay, well that could be more amusing to make him
fight on the trampolins.

Speaker 3 (01:24:54):
Yeah, I know, maybe they do have him a dude, I.

Speaker 2 (01:24:56):
Just almost almost organized one of these. That's how they
get you.

Speaker 3 (01:25:02):
I almost did it there, I was it Frankie's fun part.
You won't believe what happened.

Speaker 2 (01:25:06):
Yeah, I'm my god. You don't make these goat krts
more fun.

Speaker 3 (01:25:09):
How many tickets do I get for this?

Speaker 4 (01:25:11):
This?

Speaker 2 (01:25:13):
I almost thought?

Speaker 1 (01:25:13):
Because I just started them hilariously trying to fight, because
remember me and my buddy just fight on trampolines too.
Did you had to time it to launch your buddy?

Speaker 2 (01:25:21):
Right? We're not throwing fists. But it was it was
real deal. Man.

Speaker 1 (01:25:26):
Nah, eight year olds full contact and you're and you're
you're running the book on it.

Speaker 3 (01:25:32):
Wasn't that and old? Maybe my brain is failing me.
It's completely possible. Wasn't that an old American Gladiators event
where they were jump up and down the trampoline with
like the big like stick things. Was that a thing?

Speaker 2 (01:25:46):
Or no?

Speaker 3 (01:25:48):
I swear that was a thing, or maybe it was
like they were. I know they did the one where
they would stand in the pillars and try to knock
themselves up the wreck. Yeah, I remember that, But I also
remember one where they would jump up and down on
like a giant trampoline. Maybe not.

Speaker 1 (01:26:00):
I mean, that's a good idea, I guess if I'm
not gonna do it with eight year olds because I've
come to my senses, we can do it with grown adults,
but eight year olds you can launch higher.

Speaker 2 (01:26:11):
Okay, ready for this? Grown adults fighting eight year olds?
What could go wrong? Oh, we're gonna make so much money.
It's gonna be amazing. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:26:21):
By the way, this is why you don't let me
watch your kids. That's what's going on here. You get
you're getting educated. Don't let me watch your kids.

Speaker 2 (01:26:32):
Wait what is this? Uh? Okay, all right, I have
no idea.

Speaker 1 (01:26:43):
Somebody's mad at me over a commercial that doesn't even
air on my station.

Speaker 2 (01:26:46):
So is that a streaming thing? Sir? I whatever? Okay,
Well you're not listening ever again, so you're not hearing this. Uh,
you know, speaking to kids stuff. I have to get educated.

Speaker 1 (01:26:59):
I thought the kids scope of things that I don't
know if the name of the show. I don't really
know anything about the Miss Rachel or whatever that is.
I don't The only reason I know anything about what
a Miss Rachel is is some guy, some comedian dude did.

Speaker 2 (01:27:14):
A parody where.

Speaker 1 (01:27:18):
It's portraying somebody who kind of is supposed to be
her Miss.

Speaker 2 (01:27:23):
Rachel's, you know, the sweet little kid thing.

Speaker 1 (01:27:25):
And it's one of those where it's one of those
like when the camera's off, kind of dark comedic things. Right,
And that's not a new joke in the in the
world of kids programming.

Speaker 2 (01:27:37):
Right.

Speaker 1 (01:27:37):
Why do you remember the poor guy from Blues Clues.
Everyone just assumed it was a heroin OD and that
was the rumor everywhere, like people go dark on this stuff.
So I had no opinion going into this, but I
remember when some guy made a video where it was
like a parody of kids shows. I remember the full
breadth of it. But people were very upset because like
Miss Rachel does not do politics. She's but she won't

(01:27:59):
even fight just so that is the only thing I
ever heard about her. And then I watched this video.
So Ms Rachel had a little Gaza girl on Who's
Who's starving? And yees you little girl, sweet little girl.
Uh not as amazing as one in the New York Times,

(01:28:21):
but that child had severe medical issues that were not disclosed.

Speaker 2 (01:28:26):
The New York Times just had to disclose.

Speaker 1 (01:28:29):
So she's I'm gonna play this for you and then
I'm gonna tell you something that's left out.

Speaker 2 (01:28:34):
Okay, all right, check this out.

Speaker 11 (01:28:36):
Friends, It's miss Rachel. I have someone really special that
I want to introduce you to today.

Speaker 1 (01:28:42):
Hello.

Speaker 7 (01:28:43):
Y from me, God.

Speaker 11 (01:28:47):
Yeah, Jane has a really important message she wants to
share with the world is no child should ever have food, water,
or medical care. Block from me to her. No, they're
born has human rights. You have this, Oh God, Everyone

(01:29:09):
to speak up for the children of Gaza.

Speaker 2 (01:29:11):
I just I can't. Here's the thing.

a complete dingbat. She acts like a kindergarten teacher, but
she's very political. And now she's using this girl pretending

she's a kid that does a cooking blog. So they're
making the kid pretend and that she's a starving Guys

higher ahead of the midweek session on Wall Street. A
lot of news from Walt Disney this morning. Disney's quarterly
results getting a thorough going over. The entertainment company's quarterly

(01:31:44):
to forecasts. The National Football League and Disney have worked
out a deal, the NFL selling most of its media
businesses to Disney in exchange for a ten percent stake
in the ESPN sports networks. Disney is getting the NFL network,
cable channel and the subscription highlights service NFL red Zone,
and one more. There's a new rights agreement that will

dealing with higher import costs for merchandise and a pullback
and consumer spending. It filed for Chapter eleven once before,
that was in twenty eighteen. And Claire's is bigger than
a lot of us realized. It has more than twenty
seven hundred stores in seventeen nations. In casey, if it

(01:33:08):
were April fools, I wouldn't be using this story. I'd
be very wary of it. But it's not a prank.
Hines and Smoothie King if teamed up. They have created
the as Tomato ketchup Smoothie. Not surprising, yeah, not surprisingly,
said to be the first ever such drink. The news
release describes the smoothie as refreshing and delicious.

During the show, Joe Star and people had to learn
do you know what jacket potatoes are? We'll learned about
those last week. No, that's our former British overlords called
baked potatoes. But what do you put on a loaded
baked potato? What do you, as a normal American put
on a loaded baked potato?

Speaker 10 (01:33:51):
Little butter and some sour cream.

Speaker 1 (01:33:53):
Yeah, maybe some bacon or chives. You just stuff like that.
So in the UK they put you're gonna you're gonna
gag here, baked beans, tuna, fish, pineapple, and then smoked
whitefish is acceptable?

Speaker 2 (01:34:35):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (01:34:36):
Uh, this is this story is crazy, man, But this
is I've seen this because.

Speaker 2 (01:34:40):
I like to travel a lot.

Speaker 1 (01:34:41):
I travel a lot. I've traveled to a lot of
other countries, and there's this. You know, they people do
the the ugly American thing. But it's not just an
ugly American thing. It's just that a lot more Americans
travel because we have a lot more disposable income, and.

Speaker 2 (01:34:54):
And we're a big population.

Speaker 1 (01:34:55):
Even though most of the country doesn't have a passport,
we still outrepresent a lot the countries. But I always
cringey when somebody's doing something clearly not understanding local customs.
So I think that might be what's going on here.
I've not been to Slovakia, but I hear it's nice.
A naked man wearing nothing but a baklava plastic clogs

(01:35:18):
and carrying an adult toy on a stick has been
startling tourists while wandering around a historic castle in Slovakia.

Speaker 2 (01:35:26):

Bill Man, isn't it the mascot?

Speaker 6 (01:35:29):
Right?

Speaker 2 (01:35:30):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (01:35:30):
I think that's a Slovakian mascot there. That's the Dark
Knight of Slovakia. That's all he can afford. Got the Boklevar.
It is the you know, the head wrap. By the way,
he's not alone. The police are also. I had having
run ins with another man. Oh, by the way, I
mentioned he's like four bills, like four pounds, another dude

(01:35:52):
who likes to walk around at night scaring tourists. He
wears nothing except a black gimp mask and sneakers. So
I don't know which look do you identify. That's the
celebrities from pulp fiction. Oh that's a good point. Yeah,
got that pulp fiction money. So, according to tourists, the
band popped out of the woods, asked them for directions

(01:36:13):
and then started following them, and then they kind of
scurried and called police.

Speaker 6 (01:36:16):
But
