Remember all right, good morning everybody. It is since so eight. Oh
yeah, I'm gonna have to drink some hot tea or something. I feel
fine, I just do so that's fun. That's a good old time.
Yeah. I think some hot tea. You'll knock it down. So we'll
get ahold of some of that during the break. I thought Gatorade would do
it. It is not so anyway, all right, coming up on the
show, we got some mysteries to solve, because that's what we do.
We have a very sad story to share with you about a very very rich
man and some troubles that he's going through. And I just hope that today
on the on the show, we can we can practice our empathy. I
mean, we've all been there. I mean it's a little different scenario for
each of us, but um, you know, point is, we've all
been there, and um, I think people are unfairly, unfairly bashing this
man and that's not okay with me. That man, by the way,
is Jeff Bezos. You know Jeff from do as I say, not as
I do kind of causes. You know, Jeff is the individual who purchased
the world's largest super duper mega yacht and then had a bridge disassembled in a
Dutch town to even get it, or well somewhere in Europe to even get
it to the ocean, thus ruining everyone's commute. But there's a problem,
all right, everybody, I want you to empathy ampathy. Okay. Apparently,
when designing the largest yacht ever with a custom price tag of five hundred
million dollars one half one billion dollars, Bezos neglected to have any helipads installed.
And when piloting a yacht of that size around the world and attempting to
enter the various ports of the rich and famous, you find out real quickly
that ain't going to happen. You're just too big. There's very few ports
they can actually provide dockage for a yacht of that size, so increasingly you
end up mooring your boat away from the coast, and the larger you are,
the further away you're likely mooring that boat due to draft size, requiring
you were one of the world's richest men to have to pilot a helicopter so
that you don't waste precious moments in your sixty foot chaseboat or whatever that thing's
dragging I mean we've we've all been there, Ross, if you ever order
I mean, no, here's this, we've all been at that opportunity.
Now, we've not been dumb enough to order a five hundred million dollars yacht
without a helipad. I haven't Ross, you ever ordered a five hundred million
dollar custom yacht and not included a helipad. I can't even imagine. I
mean, what's the point even, Yeah, what's the point to even taking
it out to see? I mean, what's Oh my gosh, how is
the Russian ballet supposed to be brought to you while you're in the middle of
the Pacific? Uh, like on a ship like peasants? I guess yeah,
on a tender of some sort. Ah, it's disgusting. I'm just
gonna I'm gonna throw up in rage. No no, no, don't don't
not now. Not because I wanted to us to be empathetic, apathetic.
I want us to be strong, and I want you to know that this
story has a happy ending. Okay, that's wild, Yes it is,
young lady hold on. It's now been reported that Bezos, to solve this
problem, has purchased a seventy five million dollars support yacht for what to land
the helicopters on. So the Russian. So he's got his yacht, yes,
then that is towing a support yacht with the hell a pet damn.
The five hundred million dollars yacht. Mega yacht is towing a seventy five million
dollars support yacht. That's just for choppers. I don't know that it's It
may be underway all on its own. I don't know if you can.
I guess you could tow a when you're five hundred million dollars. Yeah,
you could probably tow a seventy five million dollars yacht. Does it come equip
with a submarine port? You know, we don't know the totality of what's
on there. Um, Microsoft co founder's yacht did have a submarine thing,
the Paul Allen or whatever. Did it really? Yeah? Yes it did.
The two hundred and okay, all right, so check this out.
So his main yacht is four hundred and seventeen feet cost five hundred million dollars
forgot to install a helipad. So the solution was to purchase a two hundred
and seventy nine foot vessel. I want to point something out when you get
above I can't remember what the cutoff is, but it's a class thing for
your boats have to be equipped with. When once you get above about I
think it's what one hundred and thirty feet or something. You're into super yacht,
and once you're above one hundred and eighty, I think it's mega yacht.
It's gross tonnage is actually how they calculate ratings for these ships. So
what he has is a super mega yacht support boat with a helipad, because
those are the ones that have helipads what are normal people's yachts. It's believed
to be the largest support vessel in the world and has been modified to not
just land helicopters, but also be able to carry up to forty five staff
and perhaps even guess if there's overflow in addition to the staff stuff that's on
the main yacht. So well, yeah, I mean that's an obvious somebody
has the staff the Starbucks on your mega yacht support ya, and and the
Starbucks kiosk on the other super duper mega yacht. That's half the exactly.
I'm happy we're in the same page here. Do you put an olive garden
on it. At that point you have to or you just kind of like
you just pull up the boat on the Italian coast and uh, you just
just kidnap people right out of the Tuscany. Well you can't just do that
because it's inland, but there's mountains between it. So I guess maybe Jeff
Bezos don't tell me what to do, right, No, it could be
like that thing. And no, it could be like that thing in the
Avengers, right with the with the big blades. So the yacht rises out
of the water. Yeah, absolutely, what could go wrong with that?
It's funny anyway, we're able to afford eggs today. No, okay,
all right, good, look, he's going buy a yacht whatever. I
don't care. He wants to go out and buy two yachts, don't care.
But the moment you start getting preachy with me about stuff, we're done.
And I will mock you mercilessly. You're two hundred and seventy nine foot
support boat because you forgot to put a helipad in. I'm assuming you executed
whoever's oversight that was. That's what you do when you're rolling like that,
all right? Six sixteen? Hang on your day smarter and celebrating ten years
of keeping you better informed one oh six one FM Talk and News Talk w
PTI More with Casey starts now. All right, good morning. It is
six twenty two case O Day Radio program. Hot Water thing took forever anyway?
All right, Um, Ross is very I'm sorry now now you're more
upset. The more I think about, the more angry I get. I
can't believe he has all his money. He never, not once, did
he even think about hiring nearly to moonwalk on his support yacht. How about
moonwalking on a on a pasarel, which is what they call those things that
stick out of a yacht to allow you to walk onto the key. Um,
how about a passarel extending from the giant super mega yacht to the regular
super mega yacht, moonwalks between yachts. I mean, I think it's a
it's a great idea while his rich friends and visitors throw stuff at him or
so, you know, something just to spice it up. Is this support
yacht where you have if you're not rated a ten? Is that where you
go? We're, basically, to Coligula's words, yes we are. Yeah,
we just need a third you know, like one hundred and fifty foot
trash boat, you know, like something bad with thirty million dollars boat or
something, you know, the ghetto boat, the lepper boat. It's just
a boat of unibrowse. Yeah, just like yeah, like a hundred,
one hundred and thirty foot monstra you know, like you know, princess or
something. Trying to think of the yachts that I know and being you know,
somebody orders yachts all the time. It never forgets hellopads, I mean
yachts or your passion. Oh yeah, absolutely so. No again, here's
the thing, because I've already got the who cares what he does with his
money? Cop? I don't until you start telling me that I have to
eat bugs? Okay me Right. If you get to the point where you
have like comical, ridiculous amounts of money, I would expect you to do
some crazy with it. I want to see it. Yeah, people people
be People get mad at like NFL players or rappers or you know, people
within the music industry at all, or actors, you know, people who
have found or lottery winners too, Like they get mad. They're like,
can you believe he was carrying Twitter fifty thousand dollars into a strip club in
West Virginia in a case. And I'm like, that's amazing. I mean,
we know how it's gonna end. But yeah, I want to watch
that. So I'd never have to do that, you know. So,
so you're good with that, You're good with watching comical uses of money.
Yeah, I think you get to a point you have so much money you're
like, I'm just gonna do something stupid. It's it's like, still to
this day, the greatest thing to ever happen, Like, oh my god,
I can't believe he did that when it comes to rich people. Right,
Oh, he's Elon Musk buying Twitter. It was so ridiculous that he's
just like, you know what, I'm gonna buy Twitter and you're like,
no, there's no way, and he just did you flagged my post?
Yeah? Right, it's insane. He's like, I'm gonna do it.
I'm gonna buy it, and I'm gonna change the emblem to the doe was
your coin River's call. That's what I'm doing because I can do that because
I'm Elon Musset. Want to find the media, and I want to send
you an email request. I would recommend sending back a poop emoji. Oh
that's what. But it gets to the point where when you start telling people
like, you know, normal people how to live their lives who are trying
to budget and exist, you know, like you said, they have to
eat bugs, that's where you have to Okay, shut up, just shut
up now now now I'm not a fan of you anymore. They wrote,
they wrote this pie. You know, Bill Gates didn't want to fall in.
This went back in the day when it was basically him and Carlos Slim
and Warren Buffett going back and forth for riches. And so his thing was
because Paul Allen went out and built this yacht called like Odyssey or something,
and it had like submarines and stuff. Right, he went crazy. I
remember I remember watching like a documentary on this thing because he came up for
sale and they did like a walk through and a show and it was just
incredible. And you know whatever, I've never I'm sure Paul Allen's come out
and said that stuff, but I never see him saying it. So,
you know whatever, Okay, every time he say Paul Allen, I just
imagined the dude that Patrick Baton Bateman murdered. An American psycho is Paul Allen?
Right, that's worse for me. Huey Lewis and the newspapers on the
floor and he's wearing like the yeah, yeah, yeah, that's Paul Allen.
Yeah, but it's actually worse for me because I know three Paul Allen.
Paul Allen is also the voice of the Minnesota Vikings afternoon host on kfa
N in Minneapolis, my former co worker. So we made American psycho jokes.
Yeah, and his intro is top of the hour. Intro would have
to be like, you know, hip to be square or something like that.
So um, he thought it was funny. But anyway, but Bill
Gates, the whole thing was like, you know, he didn't want to
be a hypocrite and he didn't buy yachts. And then somebody's like, hey,
you know what, we should look into this because there's a picture of
him on a yacht, and there's another picture of him on like the super
duper mega yacht. Did he buy a yacht? And it turns out he
was like the top he's the top harder of yachts, right, so he
didn't buy one, but he has the fu money to rent the biggest ones,
right, because he's a man of principles and standards and things. He's
like, yeah, I didn't buy a rent in it. Yeah, completely
different like the car sharing I'm telling you to do until we eliminate cars.
Yeah. So anyway, I burn all your corn. Found that hilarious this
morning. Figured we start there because we're gonna go. We're gonna go through
the John Durham Report. You'll be shocked to learn that there's a bunch of
juicy stuff in there and nobody will be held accountable. So yes, yeah,
some would say some would say that it almost reads like an internal coup,
or at least a coup amongst the highly connected. Attempted coup. Some
would argue a successful coup in the form of the second election and just piling
all that stuff onto Trump. But it's it's bond and some of it reads
like you ever see Wagged the Dogs, Just kind of farcical comedic drama movie.
It's got a bunch of big names in their Deniros in there and whatnot,
and basically they're constructing a fake war in Albania to distract from the president
potentially molesting a girl scout that's the premise and just the dirty tricks machine.
Well it's it's art life imitating ten years of news twice an hour and smart
talk all day WPTI in the Triad and one six one FM Talk in the
Triangle. All right, good morning and welcome Fix thirty five jac O Day
Radio program. So rathering than rather than there we go um commissioning the build
of a five hundred million dollars yacht yesterday? Instead Ross, you decided just
to take the wife to a matinee, right, spend the money there?
Yea where? Yeah, we chose to do that. Yes, yeah,
it's a responsible decision, Guardians of the Galaxy three. And I I tell
you I saw your post when you were going in is Ross tweeted out a
picture the entrance to that particular theater door which theater is at the one up
in wake Forest technically Wakefield. Yeah okay, that's not that's got the chairs
right it does? Oh wow? Okay, all right? Well how busy
was it? Because it was a new matinee? I maybe eight or nine
people? Oh okay, perfect, yeah, absolutely absolutely perfect. Okay,
but there's a lot writing on this. I don't know if people have noticed
Marvel Hash they had a lot of misses you're as of late, but when
it comes to individual franchises, Guardians of the Galaxy, both one and two
we're really good movies. So now you're you're wandering into Godfather territory, right,
all I'm doing while I'm sitting down, Yes, it's like, please
don't be Godfather three. Because the first two movies there's some of my favorite
movies. The second movie is one of my comfort movies, one of my
absolute favorite movies of all time, up there with Joe Dirt. It is.
It's raise. It is so good. I like the theme of father
and son. The ending always makes me tear up a little bit. The
choreograph sequences, to the music, to the action scenes are absolutely topped here
except from the opening. It's one of my favorite good when you're fighting whatever
that thing is, every yeah, everything. There's so many different examples of
that throughout the movie. So yeah, that is my favorite. And I'm
like, listen, I know most people prefer one over Too. I love
Too. It is such a good movie. I love the development of the
character. Yondu, I love it. It's one of my favorite series.
So walk in and I'm just like, please don't suck. Please don't be
Godfather three. Please don't make it be so bad that I'm like, yeah,
it's not cannon please. At any point Hollywood could do that. Yeah,
and especially because the track record they've recently had, right, But you're
like, it's got Chris Pratt, and I have faith in Chris Pratt because
everything he comes out is pretty damn good, you know. And it was.
The third movie was fantastic good. It was. It was, in
my opinion, perfect end to the trilogy. They could possibly make another movie.
I don't know if they will. They don't need to. They don't
need to. It's perfect skull stuff, right, there's so many storylines come
to conclusion. I loved it. It has the worst soundtrack of the three,
unfortunately, but the seconds, like I said, I've listened to the
first two soundtracks, they're on my phone. I listened to them and repeat,
they're they're fantastic. The third one better. It could have been better
because each movie has like, you know, a different decades, sort of
like seventies eighties, so now we're into like nineties territory or anything. The
problem is the music is too familiar because we're we're right. You know,
we grew up with that music, so it's it's it's too familiar, I
think for for us anyway, our generation. But yeah, dude, it
was so good. It's not woke at all. In fact, I would
say that there's there's a lot of um, it seems like a right there's
a lot of right themes in it, like if you're talking, there are
yeah, you know what I mean. I could I could give some examples
of it, but that would spoil so much and I don't want to do
that. But I walked out of that movie going, man, that is
a right wing movie that there's there are so many things in this movie.
So if you're worried about it being woke, it is not. See when
I see stuff and I have that thought about, oh wow, that's definitely
like a conservative Laney movie. I stop and asked myself, is it or
is it just I had to say down down the middle right, and which
just it's so hard to find stuff like that where they're just trying to entertain.
But you would say, like Mario Brothers, just down the middle right,
Mario, Mario, there's no politics, Yeah, there's not at all.
There's right it's a great movie. I'm I'm glad you heard your wife.
The wife agreed, Oh yoh she teared up. Oh she definitely cried.
No, I'm not happy that your wife cried, but you know what
I mean. So there was one part towards the end where I'm like,
if you do this, I'm gonna give this the worst review review in the
history movies. Oh but they didn't do it. Oh good, which will
probably be with some critic it's mad about. I haven't even looked at the
critics, right, because I never searched that stuff out away, believe it
or not. Are you sitting down? I am seated. Yes, the
nerds are. I guess they're a little angry because there's a certain character that
isn't the same as he is in the comics. Well that's, you know,
that's standard nerd stuff. But I like what they did with it.
I can respect that beef, you know what I'm saying. Yeah, I
can respect. But all right, well there you go. I'm glad to
hear it. I'm gonna I may I haven't been to a theater in oh,
dude, go I'm gonna watch it again and again again ever. But
I can't tell him at times. They've watched the first two movies. So,
in my opinion one of the greatest trilogies of all time. Is it
as good as Back to the Future. Probably not. I think that's like
the Pinnacle, right, but it is up there, it's it's so good.
Okay, it's uh as cynical and uh as we are around here.
That's uh that's high praise. So oh good, good, good good.
So um. I don't like the part where you said there could be a
fourth though. I mean, there's there's an explosion, but like the Iron
Man, iron Man was finite, right, we're done with that. You've
got to know when to stop. And the problem with Hollywood is they right,
they just don't because they're they need to make them there like we can
make more money. This is a cash cow. But certain things when the
end man, they just it's the timing has to be right right, and
there's no reason too the could they yes, do they have? Should they
know? In my opinion, well, here you go, all right,
let me let me just tease into some of this and actually, actually you
know what, let me do this. Let's go ahead and hit the break
just a little early. Because I'm gonna need the whole next segment, I
want to bullet point some of the stuff from the John Durham Report. And
remember Durham spent four years investigating essentially what all happened around the twenty sixteen election,
crossfire, hurricane, some of the other various stories that emerge like Alpha
Bank and whatnot. And you know, who had their hand in the cookie
jar at the governmental level, who's doing stuff former government folks that are you
know, you know, like James Clapper, who are now analysts and out
there doing sing So let me get into it. And there's some real,
real like spy stuff in here and political manipulation stuff in here, like you
know, big dollar OPO research stuff, and it's pretty crazy. So we'll
hit the brake, come back, and we'll fire into that next hang on
celebrating ten years of keeping you connected. This is ninety four five WPTI in
the Triad and one oh six one FM Talk in the Triangle. All right,
good morning, everybody, it is six forty eight. Let's dive into
this. So yesterday the John Durham Report, a year's long effort to uncover
the origins of the collusion narrative, various other news stories, and basically anything
that seemed to weave in nicely with government employees, you know, FBI being
prime among them. The three inner page report, if you want to read
it, feel free. I'm going to readers digest it for you, and
there's there's some crazy stuff, but I want you to remember the entire time
I'm going over this that nobody's going to be held accountable. How do I
know? It's literally a recommendation at the end of the report. Okay,
so feel good about that. Here we go. The big thing, the
thing that is, you know, where people are doing short reports on this
little news snippets for those who are choosing to cover it, you'll be shocked
to learn there are some outlets that are basically ignoring it. But the big
takeaway is neither US law enforcement, anyone in the intelligence community, or anyone
in the international intelligence community that we partner with, specifically the Brits and the
Posses who are mentioned in here, possessed any evidence whatsoever of collusion at the
launch of the Crossfire Hurricane investigation. So they launched an investigation and they possessed
zero evidence, which is wildly unusual. Considering how sensitive an area you're treading.
Durham contends on the report, the FBI followed its own procedures, or
had they followed their own procedures quote, they would have learned that their own
experienced Russia analysts had no information about Trump being involved with any Russian leadership officials.
There was nobody in any in the intelligence or apparatus anywhere law enforcement FBI
wise, nothing, nothing existed. And again Durham recommended known two charges for
any additional people. He had brought charges against Michael Sussman and Igor Dashenko,
who was the contributor for the dossier, and Sussman was a campaign lawyer for
Clinton's but was unsuccessful shockingly in getting those people prosecuted in Washington, d c
all right, let me get into the foreign allies thing. UK officials were
unwilling to aid in the investigation. In fact, in the fall of twenty
sixteen, Durham notes that one top UK officials said, while they're members of
the Crossfire Hurricane team played the audio visuals. So they went over and they
sat down the top UK intelligence people and showed him the audio and visual recordings
of like the Carter Page, which is crazy because we were told there was
not audio video. There was notes, and we had to rely on notes.
Apparently there was audio video, and they told them, quote for f's
sake, man, you went through a lot of trouble to get them to
say nothing. At a later point they basically officially said, no, there's
no way in hell we're going to go along with this with you. So
they knew it, They realized what was up, and they decided they don't
want any part of this. They didn't even want to talk about it anymore.
Former CIA director John Brennan is also noted in the report for his repeated
public remarks supporting the narrative that the Trump campaign colluded with Russia. Cited are
many quotes, including this one. I encountered and am aware of information and
intelligence that reveals contacts and interactions between Russia officials and US persons involved in the
Trump campaign. That's his testimony of the House Intelligence Committee. Quote President Trump's
claims of no illusion or hogwash, Brennan wrote in a New York Times piece
in twenty eighteen. Also, they tapped other foreign affairs officials outside of UK
and the Australians and Victoria Newland in private testimony, said that they tasked their
most experienced Russia observers and came back that they never saw any US government proof
of the allegations contained in the Steel reporting, So basically the dossier. They
went all in trying to prove anything in this, and shockingly we're not able
to that, which is crazy to me because generally you're gonna put something like
that together. You're gonna put lies, but you're also going to put stuff
that's, you know, that has some truth to it. It won't be
the big stuff, but it'll be the stuff you can point at and go,
I mean, look, we verified this, so we're working forward on
the other stuff. Didn't even bother to do that. So how did this
all happen? Well? Yes. In the report, the Clinton campaign singled
out the actions quote with the FBI and respect to other significant intelligence it received
from a trusted foreign source, points to a Clinton campaign plan to vilify Trump
by tying him to putin as a means of diverting attention from her own concerns
relating to private email server use. Unlike the FBI's opening of a full investigation
of unknown members of the Trump campaign, the Clinton campaign actually received updates and
notification that this was going on and getting some double standard stuff. I'm just
kind of scanning here. I'm not going to read all of this to you.
Basically, that's the nut of it. So let's get down to the
espionage kind of stuff. All right, few GPS, this is the OPO
research firm. This is Mark Elias, okay, and Michael Sussman, the
Clinton campaign attorney. And then Elias is the Democrat one who was just kicked
to the curb because I guess they realized he's all up in this. Before
handing any materials to law enforcement, Fusion GPS and campaign lawyer Michael Sussman approached
media outlets to secure coverage of the materials. Do you remember when they talked
about how CNN was fed that the Trump campaign was briefed on the dossier,
and it was actually a means to forward a story, right, because it's
not a story that you have this unverified thing. Well it shouldn't be.
But what is the story is that this unverified thing was presented to Trump and
people went, you know, there was a reason that they did that,
and they're correct, even though they were called conspiracy theorists. So it worked
like that, not just for that but also in this way. So they
went to the New York Times. Clinton's people went to the New York Times
said we got all this stuff, and the New York Times basically said,
well, we need we need another way to verify that this is going on.
So by timing it out like that, this this has to do with
the Alpha Bank claims, so it's a separate of the dossier the Alpha Bank,
which was something that can't that Clinton railed on right, Oh, he's
working with this working with this bank, and it's all us, all right.
So basically by timing it out like that, going to the media first
given it to him, and then going to the FBI. The FBI then
reached out after being informed that at least one they didn't say how they got
it. At least one media outlet had this information was preparing to run it,
which caused concern within the FBI, who then contacted the New York Times.
And by doing so, it's in the mission they sort they use it
as a sourcing. Well, the FBI called us about this, then it
must be true that they do have it, and this is all known.
Everyone knows this. And then two weeks before the election, New York Times
and others published the Alpha Bank story, and then the Clinton campaign issues tweets
and statements on oh my gosh, can you believe this bah, even though
they orchestrated the whole thing. New York Times, Slate, Mother Jones all
ran narratives cited by the report as being inaccurate and not based on any evidence.
The FBI's records showed that the reports published by the New York Times in
February and March of twenty seventeen concerning four unnamed current and former US intelligence officials
wholly made up. Somebody should be going to jail here, but it's you
know, it's it's that level of trickery that they're using. Well, we
have to. It's the same way they got the FIZO warrants, using both
the Yahoo News article and the dossier, even though the article was on the
dossier, so it's not a separate source. At the end of the reported
states the report does not recommend any wholesale changes in the guidelines and policies of
the Department and the FBI now has in place. They just need to actually
abide by them, and makes no recommendation for anyone to get in trouble.
There it is in a nutshell. Again, no accountability, but for what
is an attempted coup. Nobody will get in trouble, but granny walking through
the capitol. Let's throw it all right, Good morning, everybody getting a
seven zero six here on the case O Day Radio program, Tuesday edition,
phone number eight eight eight nine three four seven eight seven four. I saw
some of you are trying to call her phones are weird, So if you
want to call, you want to weigh in on the Durham thing. Anything
I missed, You're welcome to add that. That's right. I'm gonna outsource
part of my job. But I think I think I gave a pretty thorough
overview. Basically, there was no evidence. Even when presented with no evidence,
FBI higher up said not open the investigation. No other intelligence people wanted
to touch this thing with a ten foot whole. The Alpha Bank story,
the October Surprise, which by the way, was part of part of the
support, or at least stated support because it turned out to be bs by
the Clinton campaign, was on documents and files that they had come into possession
of in rather interesting ways. So it literally mirrored the non traditional acquisition route
of the New York Post and the Hunter Biden laptop. The difference is in
the case of the Hunter Biden laptop, it was the information was turned over
to the FBI first, and for quite some time they had it here.
The strategy was to turn over the media first, so that when the FBI
contacted the media that were reportedly going to run the story, it acted as
confirmation. And of course none of the Alpha Bank stuff was banned on Twitter
and other social media flagged none of it. It's wild, how incredibly dishonest
and double standard. The whole the whole thing is so sorry, said Chum,
and grab something there. I need it for the next thing we're gonna
do. Um. Yeah, it's and no one's gonna be held accountable.
I know you're shocked to learn that. All right, let me grab a
phone call on this real quick, George, what's up your morning, Casey?
Like, what difference does the Durham report even gonna make? I mean,
nothing's gonna happen, nobody's gonna be charged, And all my fellow conservatives
are starting to sound like Rachel Maddow saying that the walls are closing in tick
tick tick and if you live in a real world, you know that they
own the FBI, they own the Justice Department, and they own the media.
So now they'll recycle their favorite word, nothing burger. And from now
this is why, sir, and you've probably heard, I've been very negative
on the comber promises, the whistleblower. They lost one of the whistleblowers,
did you know this? And yesterday, yesterday the DOJ and the IRS disbanded
the IRS team and replaced them the entire team that was handling the investigation from
a tax perspective of Hunter Biden and likely an attempt figure out to clear the
field of any other whistleblowers. If Trump had done something like that, remember
when he fired Comy, Holy crap, Oh my god. You know.
And that's exactly why I felt that I needed to call in this morning.
I mean, you know, if you're sitting at home thinking that something is
going to come of this, you're going to be sadly disappointed. Nothing,
nothing is going to happen. Nobody's going to get charged, and then the
talking point will be that that this was just political theater because no one was
charged. Miss steps is the term they've went with. Miss steps. Yeah,
it's you know, it's beyond ridiculous at this point. Well, let
me tell you what it is, George, and I agree with you and
thank you for the call. It is something that I have been railing on
with the Neely story on the subway, with that dude who tried to grab
the shop of the shoplifter or TJ Max. This is what happens, or
this will be the larger version of what happens when people don't feel that there
is a justice system that is functioning, and it comes from all sides,
whether it's people marching on the streets because they feel that all cops are bastards
and they can't get a fair shake when you agree or disagree. If that
mindset's present, people will go in and you'll see the mostly peaceful but still
fiery protests or people acting as you know conduct citizens arrest right. Once people
feel that the system is broke down, then they start going rogue man and
you get vigilanteism. You get people going, well, the whole thing's broke,
so what does it matter? And sometimes it's just a guy grabbing a
shoplifter. Other times it's people who will turn to yes, political violence.
It's not good, and it's why it's so important that you can't. There's
always gonna be cracks and biases and things like that, and you should work
to address them. But once it's just a wholesale flaunting of it and people
lose all confidence. Like this whole thing, this whole thing, especially when
you have something to compare and contrast it against, is just allowed to happen
because the upper echelon the swamp, which is a real thing, thinks they
can do whatever they want. And why do they think it because they can.
Whether Durham recommended no additional follow up prosecutions things like that simply because he
was frustrated with getting stonewalled on the two he tried to do, or because
he's part of the problem, that's for you to decide. But remember they're
still they're still running Trump through all of this garbage. And it's not just
about Trump, He's just he's just the example out there they're running. They're
running Daniel Penny there through through the Ringer, and people can see the giant
double standard up there in New York. Fine, if you want to hold
Penny accountable, then anytime somebody does something like this on any you know,
in a subway setting and goes vigilante. Then you need to be you need
to be um consistent. And I don't just mean when they're when they're excuses
of they're defending stuff. I mean when their excuse also is they have more
than me and it's just not fair. In capitalism is evil. So that's
justification for doing stuff unless you're unless you're one hundred percent on this stuff,
it's just going to get worse. And arguably that seeds control because once it
gets worse, you can act outrage and clutch your pearls and be like,
oh, we have somebody's got to do something. The President can sit out
there in a somewhat coherent sentence and say that the greatest threat to our nation
is white supremacy. I'd argue the greatest threat to our nation is the wholesale
breakdown of the government apparatus. The tale of two different, two different paths,
depending on your political connectiveness. It's it's a fundamental thing in the downfall
of so many many governments all across the world. Once enough people feel marginalized,
then they go effort and uh, you know, they go out and
they'll do what they think they have to do, and I don't want that.
I'm not here advocating. I'm not pounding my fist on the table saying
go get them. I'm just pointing out that this is this is where you're
leading people, and you can, and you know, secretly, you can
sit there in your little your little clubs, on your super mega yacht with
your super toe yacht or whatever and talk about, well, you know,
if they do do something, then we'll just you know, we'll have to
get all martial lawy or we'll have to crack down. We just have to
the people can't control themselves. And you might be successful for a while doing
that, but eventually it goes sideways. Man, I don't ever want to
see that in my lifetime. I don't want to see that ever. Absolute
insanity, seven fifteen kc O Day Radio program, Absolute Anarchy, Man anarchy,
you're canning the irs has fire or reassigned? I should say, I
want to be accurate here. The entire investigative team for the tax probe into
Hunter Biden just eighty six, Tom All, why because they feel that somebody
in there might be passing information along. You want, let's get into double
standard land. Somebody over at the Supreme Courts listing, you know, putting
out predecisions, no accountability, people on grand juries are leaking information in the
Trump case, no accountability. The idea that they would, well, you
need to put a new grand jury. They balked at that. They said
that it was you're trying to destroy the constitution. They're gaslighting you every minute.
And I promise you, if Donald Trump had taken an entire investigative team
that was working on an investigation into one of his kids and said they're all
out, we'll get some other people in, it would be the only story
you're hearing right now. It would be there would be the totality of the
news coverage, and it's just it'll probably in twenty four hours you won't see
it anymore and nobody will ask the question, well then who you bring it
in? I mean, aren't they supposed to be on the cusp of doing
something according to the report here? This, oh this New York Posts,
So you know, thank you for it, but you will even though they
were right on that thing, they got hand slapped for um. The change
was at the request of the Department of Justice. So you got Mary Garland,
who is making this request. I don't even does the d I guess
maybe the DJ is is cross as because the IRS is not under the DOJ.
But maybe the investigative side of stuff there's some cross over there. I'm
not even I'm not one hundred percent sure. I RS Commissioner Daniel Wherfel appeared
in front of the House Committee back end of April and said, quote,
I can say without any hesitation, there will be no retaliation for anyone making
an allegation or whistleblower calls. But clearly this is retaliatory. Clearly they don't
know who the whistleblower is, or at least one of the whistle blowers,
and so it's everyone's out because they can't control the narrative if somebody's sidestepping them
on this. And three weeks ago this guy said, Nah, that would
never happen, all right, eight eight eight nine, three four seven eight
seventy four. Man, just crazy, Jamal, what's up? Bay?
You know what case? And I'm gonna say this, and it's gonna make
some people mad, and as far to make some Republicans. Man, too
many Republicans just want to campaign and raise money and actually not want to do
anything because they're so scared that they're children and they're great chiefs who are going
to not talk to them because they're mean O Republicans. I keep bumping into
this. Are you hearing right now on a campaign trailers, especially about this
dumb report right now the Republican Party? Every last one of them should be
out there saying Joe Biden needs to be every last one of them need to
be arrested. Not Joe Biden. They need to talk about a peach about
the arm I y'all rest sing threaten it, bring it out there so people
know. But you know what, they don't want to do it. And
this is one of the things you hear about it. We need to move
on from the twenty twenty. No, we don't. This stuff is criminal
that went on. They literally try to run it goes back. Yeah,
yes, sir, but you know what you're going to hear. And I'm
gonna tell you this. What scares me about rhyn the said cast why I
don't trust them. We need to move on. You can't move on the
past. Democrats never move on from the past. They spent that time trying
to convict that lady who sat down, said e Mkian whistled at her.
They spent years trying to convict this woman. Democrats don't move on from the
past. They actually see here. They actually try to put politicians in to
do what they want, while Republicans we constantly want to take this high road
like we're better than that case, we're gonna old. We don't want to
do that. We need to move on for the greatest good of America.
As they looked around in America lately, America's burning down. Let me see
this, America's burning down. This generation of Americans could not beat the Nazis
week today. We could not beat them. We couldn't because the way the
people are, the animosity, the hatred, the division, We couldn't do
it. And their technology. People don't know we're better than ours and war
what do the German tap was the better? So if the Republican Party do
not come out to day swinging talking about prosecuting people, why our local prosecutors,
where are our district attorneys who are Republican district attorney a Republican attorney generals
saying they're gonna lock up these Democrats? What are the Republicans who are in
these errors? Say you know what, this is an election in affairs for
the voters of my state who vote for President Term. I am charging James
Coney. I am charging these people with election in affairs. I am charged.
Where they said, if every pole we don't hand them, yes you
do, go get Mark Elias. You know what, even if you got
to make a deal with that guy just to get him to flip on everybody
else, he probably is scummy enough. Remember this was a guy attempting to
manipulate things, in my opinion, with Josh Stein, who will likely be
the Democratic nominee for governor. So Jamali I got about three dead well he
did, and then a court hand slapped him. I'm talking specifically on on
that one instance, but yes there was there was other stuff there. So,
um, I agree with you wholeheartedly, Jamal. If they're not out,
you know you, the problem is is they'll say, well, they're
trying to relitigate the votes in Michigan. Just just leave that alone and sit
here and this right here, this is enough meat to chew on. And
the fact that they didn't recommend anything, and thank you for the col Jamal
is bonkers. Twenty two. Hang on after the show's on the iHeartRadio app.
Searchs case O Day for the podcast on the iHeartRadio app. All right,
Uh, let's see here. I haven't seen anything. I've had now
a couple of people send me emails. Um, there's uh lots of cops,
fire trucks, ambulances in front of the schoolhouse off four oh one.
This is Garner. I don't know what's going on, you know, se
many other details that you have there, Sir, I have not seen anything,
obviously, I let our news know. I don't know. I've seen
a lot of these stories work, not just in Triangle, but Triad had
one the other day, and where people are calling in these threats to schools.
I don't know if it's about getting out of testing or if something much
worse is going on. So we'll stay on top of it. We'll report
what we find. All right, hang on. News is next celebrating ten
years and still going strong. Thank you. Casey is on ninety four five
w PTI in the Triad and one oh six one FM Talk in the Triangle.
All right, good morning, seven thirty five k O Day radio program.
See this is what I like. Succinct emails. Good morning, Jamal
is right, you are right, it's all ridiculous. Thank you, is
ross Wright. Probably I'm reading this story. We have to get into this.
We have Lieutenant Governor Tomorrow right. Yes, it's checking my calendar here
because I know that somebody, somebody reached out to his office. So,
um, there is a Greensboro firefighter that apparently has been um terminated. Because
if there's one thing that most cities in North Carolina are not currently dealing with,
it's a shortage of people in policing and firefighting. U. But so
what high crime did this individual commit? As best I can determine, and
I'm still researching, he had opinions on the social media, and I guess
the one that I keep seeing sided is um. He posted a meme that
said straight pride. Um. I don't know if this is no. It
doesn't look like it was a response. It was just an independent post.
So the city of Greensboro, because you know, it's what they do,
they posted a gay pride post, right, so rainbow flag, you know,
pretty standard stuff you see from municipalities, companies. Quote is Pride month
winds down? We want to others a narrow over and I can't read all
of it. Basically, they're bragging about how Greensboro has received high marks from
the Human Rights Campaign and their equality Index, which is you know, this
is stuff moonbats love to brag about. But that's fine, whatever you're going
to post that on there. I almost kind of expected. So the firefighter
who has again now been terminated in another post and this is his own post,
they're not even on the same Yeah, they're not even remotely the same
time. So this is not a response as an independent post that was made
in April posted a meme that shows a husband and wife just married, so
you know, wedding attire, and it says straight pride, it's natural,
it's worked for thousands of years, and you can make babies. Well,
obviously, obviously we gotta fire that guy for having that opinion that he's he's
he's proud of his ability to make babies with his wife, I guess or
girlfriend, whoever's I I am strolling his social media. I don't know if
that's your wife, sir, but glad, glad, that's part's working.
So really, is this this is what we're This is what we're firing people
over this right here? This is this is the hill. You know,
last time you left with the dude city of Greensboro. He became the lieutenant
governor. So I mean, just craziness and all right, so I'm gonna,
I'm gonna I'll pick Mark's brain about this tomorrow, Okay, And that's
what I know right now. It's gonna be up up front with you.
I don't know. Maybe he he murdered kittens and filmed it. I don't
think he did, because I would think somebody would post that. But if
that's the totality of the problem here, that he's posting a meme and we're
firing him, hey, I gotta, I gotta. I got a question.
Is he good at putting fires out? Ross? If you have a
firefighter comes over to your house because you know, everything's on fire, your
cat's running around on fire, You're all your video game stuff's on fire.
Do you want somebody who has a high equity index score or do you want
somebody who knows how to put out a fire? Would prefer the second one
for the fire to be put out right, because you know, nobody wants
their video game stuff on fire, their cat running around on fire. I
would prefer if my possessions were not on fire. But what if your possessions
were on fire? However, uh, the firefighters that showed up had a
perfect equity index score from the Human Rights Right, So I don't care about
that. I just want you to put the fire. Oh and I want
you to be really good at it, so my stuff isn't on fire.
Yeah yeah, okay, all right, well that's I'll give you're five,
you're skinny, don't care what color you are. Just put out the fire.
If you're good at that, you should have the job. Do you
care what who they sleep with you? Or you don't? Oh? Wow,
okay, you just just when they're there. You'd prefer that they're putting
fires out rather than the dude could show them Like I'm married to a beta
Max and I'd be like, I don't care, just put out the fire.
Who would marry? I'd like a laser disc, I would understand,
but a beta max. Get some self confidence, sir, h This is
this is it, This is what we're this is what we're canning people over.
Make people stop shooting people downtown. How about you work on that?
Okay? Can we do that? So if I want to go down,
if I want to go down, and I want to, you know,
get a pint of guinness down at a certain establishment the right means, you
know where I'm talking about, a cool place with good beers. Then I
don't have to worry that I'm gonna walk out in that parking lot and you
know, catch a bullet. Can we do that? Let's work on that.
Or if I want to go downtown and get a nice delicious steak at
one of the high end eateries down there, then I don't walk out,
or maybe I'm gonna go there before I go over to the arts center that
all that money got spent on, and and maybe work on that. You're
firing people for this garbage, all right, So we'll explore and we'll get
into some of that tomorrow. Donna, what's up? Good morning, Casey.
I realize that I'm going to be preaching to the choir here. But
you know, when you're vice president and you can go to another country and
tell them that you'll be in the withhold aid if they don't fire a certain
prosecutor who's going after your son or not. But Barisma, of course,
well his son, let's just be honest, his son, his son,
Yeah, yeah, and of course he could fire I rs agents. I'm
reminded of um George Carlin saying, um, it's a big club, and
Trump wasn't in it, and they don't want Trump in it. And it
started with Obama and Bill Clinton meeting Loretta Lynch on the tarmac and sky Harbor,
and it just goes down to all the yeah, oh yeah pictures of
the grandkids. And instead of McCabe and Komey and Sally Yates and Loretta Lynch
being charged with perhaps treason for perpetuating a coup, they're writing books and going
on CNN. So yeah, people, people are going to get angry,
and if they're not angry, they should, they should get added angry,
and they're going to and they're going to do things and they're going to do
things that um literally seed more power to these individuals. So I know people
think it's by design. Yes, yes, sometimes I wonder if it is
by design. You know, you keep saying white supremacy is the most dangerous,
They're the most dangerous people out there. When with your with our own
eyes, we can see what the problem is. They're going to create white
supremacists, They're going to further racism, they're going to further, at the
very least, you're gonna they're gonna create militant people, and frankly, they're
creating militant people across the political spectrum, and instead some who are a political
who are in the in the sense that they don't root for either team.
They just they want the whole thing to burn. Right, Like you said,
the anarchy, it don't have to be planned. It just has to
be an acceptable alternative. Meaning you know, somebody goes, well, what
if this happens, and you're like, oh, that works for me too,
and that in and of it's and thanks for the Caldonna. That's bad
enough. If you're like, oh no, if it goes that, then
we'll just we'll pivot to this absolutely incredible all right, seven forty four case
O Day radio program coming up. We're gonna solve the mystery. We got
our unsolved, we got the unsolved mysteries music. Hold on, let me
just eyeball this okay, cool, Yeah, we're gonna get into a little
mystery solving coming up. And I'm telling you you never want to be a
cautionary tale. But holy crap, did some thirty year old dude rise to
the very top this story is bonkers. It might be the worst. It
might be the worst. What happened? How did he die? Story that
I've ever heard, just the totality of everything. We'll get into that,
but first, Ray stagic with weather, Hey, stop making it rain on
people, go Yeah, a little bit, a few showers here and there
this morning. I think we're gonna get pretty significant break until we get into
the mid late afternoon hours. From west to east, and really it's early
tonight, there is a risk for severe storms, a wind hail, maybe
some isolated tornadoes. So we'll get these showers through this morning. Casey most
numerous now heading from Sanford down toward Fayetteville and just south of Greensboro, but
damp streets in between. And today we'll probably get close to her just above
eighty degrees. Then likely showers and thunderstorms probably after sunset into early tonight,
and it's probably going to be just before midnight. From west to east.
Some of those stronger storms come up with the Coal Front. So if you
go to bed early like we do, you may have to, you know,
just have a way to get woken up if we get a severe storm
with some wind hail, because there is a small risk of a tornado too,
so you might just want to get yourself safe if we do get worn
tonight and then just a slight chance of showers after the front goes through tomorrow,
developing sunshine though in the afternoon near eighty. It'll feel much better,
less humidity, very pleasant Tomorrow night in the fifties. The rest of the
week's gonna be real nice. Thursday and Friday sunshine light highs will be in
the mid seventies. Nighttime lows will be in the upper forties to low fifties.
So we get through today and tonight, we'll be in good shape really
for the rest of the week. Um do you like ping pong? You
play ping pong? I do? I've got a table in my bar in
my basement, Yeah I do. Oh wow, okay, all right,
because our story, the cautionary tale, involves ping pong. Oh oh,
maybe I'll send you a link so you can be careful. But we'll do
that story coming up. We'll talk to you in an hour. Sure,
thank you very much. All right, Ross you you deemed this dude what
legend in this story and talk about in a very ironic man, I mean,
I mean not not in a good way. Not no, not in
a good way. I want to be abundantly clear here, but we'll do
that. We'll solve the mystery. Gonna be very busy, lots to get
to hang on ye a near decade on the calendar and celebrating ten years on
the air. This is one oh six one FM Talking Triangle and there's talk
WPTI and the Tryad. All right, fifty one, let's dive into let's
let's gather together all of our business experience, okay, so we can analyze
the situation and perhaps and you know, act as some sort of business consultant
because a business is going out of business. Ross, would you grab your
business consultant hat please? We need everybody, We need all hands on deck
so we can solve this mystery, the mystery of what has happened to Anarchist
Coffee. It is a coffee shot. This is in Canadia, so let's
not it's in Toronto. But there are similar business models here in the US,
including right here in North Carolina. So Anarchist Coffee, a coffee shop
built on a pay what you can system, has announced it will close at
the end of the month after just one year in business. Gabrielle Simms fewer
or gabriel excuse me. The owner of the Anarchist Coffee said in an expletive
build announcement that they're going out of business, quote living in working in ways
that don't enthusiastically embrace the pure evil of capitalism. He said that they're unable
to continue forward and there's just not sustainable long term. This pay what you
can business model for nice coffee, not just drip coffee, but you know,
the good stuff, the Starbucks, he kind of stuff. He said,
quote F the rich, F the police, F the state, F
the colonial death camp. We call Canada solidarity comrades. Well, if you're
an anarchist that you don't subscribe to code whatever. Basically, the way it
worked is you went in and you could order, you know, a super
latte, skim moocha thing whatever. I don't drink the weird coffees, but
I do know they're not cheap, and then you pay what you can.
However, even after launching the business and subscribe to this business model, it
became quickly apparent that they were losing money each and every day. That's right.
Even though the owner says, quote I would continue to scrutinize my prices,
which again are pay is you what you can and look for opportunities to
either lower them or bring in more revenue. I mean, it's a mystery.
How would you bring in more revenue versus a pay whatever you want model
for things that have fixed supply costs. At first he thought, well,
what if we get more workers, allowing more volume. Okay, all right,
that's a thought. You know, volume can make up for things spreading
that cost out. But but if you're just selling more and more and more
coffee for whatever people want to pay, and it's not covering your fix,
I mean, I don't know. I'm a I'm not a business expert.
The entrepreneur also apologized for the fact that he and he feels it may have
had some impact on his business that quote that he is a white, cis
gender man, but did note that he's also queer and had vowed to hire
people outside of his particular intersection of privilege. But apparently it wasn't enough.
All right, So now that we know what's up there, we got some
deats. I do think that from those details were able to extract what might
have been the flawed poor of the business model ross anything stick out to you,
even though you've never owned an anarchist coffee shop, anything that might have
contributed to the downfall of the pay whatever you want a coffee shop model.
You know, I've thought about it. Okay, it's a complete mystery.
Oh wow, I thought to see. I thought we might may be a
marketing issue or something. Oh maybe not enough, Like what are the cost
how much it was the cost of the product that he had to pay to
make his product? How much was his cost? Yea, probably the price
gouging, right, they were probably charging too much. But no, no,
they it was whatever you want to pay, so no, but I
mean he what it cost him to make his product. The evil suppliers,
the rest of the capitalists that were bleeding them dry. Is Juan Valdez,
the Colombian coffee guy. Remember Juan Valdez with his with his mule and burrow
or whatever that thing was living high on his hog and his uh you know,
in some Pablo Escobar style h fortress of some sort of castle, just
gouging this poor little guy, you know, his his He probably wasn't checking
enough boxes when it comes to his his identity. He but he did point
out that he recognizes that he's whitens his gender but also queer. So I'm
confused. But um, like you would lead with that, right if you're
trying to prove that point, And he would hire people that fell outside of
his normal evil progression. But what was the bathroom policy? Uh, you
know, I don't know, but I would I'm going to assume it was
a free for all. So probably, h let's see here, do do
do? Could you shoot up in the lobby? Now? He did say
that he felt that he was denied access to capital, says apparently banks didn't
want to give him lines of credit after reviewing his business model. So that's
probably I know, right, evil banks, That's what it is. It's
the evil Banks. Also, the decorations and the coffee shop are interesting,
including depictions of police officers hung under the slogan a cab All cops are bastards,
and also derogatory posts about the queen and pointing out that she should have
died sooner. Yeah, oh boy, I don't know, man, I
don't I don't know. It's probably gonna need to go to uh what's the
um what's the big business school at Penn Pennsylvania, the Worton School. Probably
gonna have to go to the working school and uh running by some of the
professors there. You hate you hate to see it. Oh wait, hold
on, can I'm at Budmore real quick? Thank you? Oh you I
hate to see that. Well, mystery unsolved. Man. We got a
lot of business experts listening to the show today, and that's what I love.
People out there making it happen, going out, put it all on
the line, start your own thing, because I've got a whole lot of
theories rolling into my inbox over why the anarchist pay whatever you want coffee shop?
Apparently it went out of business, and they don't seem to believe it
was lack of access to seed capital from banks who wouldn't loan based on that
business model, or capitalism in general. It's things like, well as let
me read one of the emails here, because I think this man might be
onto something. I did a little more research during the break Donald Road.
He said, perhaps it was the greedy rich people not willing to pay more
than normal for their coffee to make up. Well, you're probably onto something
because I went and I checked out some of their social media postings on their
Facebook here, and in one instance, the owner does blame kind of that.
He said that the model required others to counterbalance by purchasing more expensive items
or paying more for coffee, and it never materialized. So yeah, that
is one of the things going on here. Also, you're called the anarchists,
and it clearly shows on the Facebook thing that you have hours? Can
you have hours? If you're an anarchist business? Can you be you know,
six eight, six to ten or whatever the hours are here? I
just close the page. If you're an anarchy bit, you can't have hours.
You shouldn't even have a locked door. Man, m I question the
business model here, all right, you know, one of the one of
the big fears out there, and rightfully so. You never want to be
a cautionary tale, all right. You don't want to be the guy who
died while taking a selfie. Okay, you don't want to be you don't
want to be the guy who stood up on the roller coaster and now you
have no head. You know, you don't want to end up in the
news. But all of those pale in comparison to this other story. I'm
gonna tell you this is this is about a thirty year old man who died
in his bedroom that in the apartment he shared with his parents. So the
Dudels deliver with his parents, and according to his parents, he had a
he had a habit of locking himself in his room, had installed some internal
locks that'll come into play here, and so that wasn't unusual. However,
after literally them not hearing any sound out of that room for like a day
and them knocking on the door multiple times, they realized something was amiss,
so they contact They ended up calling the nine one one and the fire department
showed up and literally had to use a pride bar to get the door open
due to the locking system, and what they found inside was pretty horrible.
See this. Uh, This thirty year old internet enthusiast was also into a
practice known as autoerotic paraphilia, and basically that's where you cobble together just a
bunch of weird stuff and then try to execute it all at once. And
according to the article here and experts, I'm not sure how you become an
expert in that, but okay, it can lead to problems. So here
is the scene as it unfolded and was seen by fire department, and sadly,
his mom and his dad Cornification report upon prying the door open with the
lever, they saw the Sun's lifeless bodyline on the floor, wearing a one
piece women's swimsuit, while his lower limbs and upper neck and shoulder area both
were tightly bound with plastic rap and textile straps. Line Next to his corpse
was a one handed electric massage device with quote signs of extreme wear. The
device described as a you know what a flashlight is? Ross, Are you
familiar with a flashlight? Yes, I am, so change one letter one
vowel at the beginning of that, and that's what they're referring to. So
it looks like a flashlight flush light. No, like he said, really
plumbing No no, no, you correct vowel area to change wrong vowel.
So not an a obviously because we're changing that and it's not a you So
you had any their vowels maybe like you know, it's a light to look
after flies. Oh it's an I know it's not any sh okay no,
no, but but just imagine it looks like that and it's electric and it
plugs in and by the way, it's also the knockoff version, it's not
the actual unit, it's not the name brand. No, he went bargain
basement on this, and as you'll find out, that was not a good
idea because, according to the report, while the device was lying next to
him was quote signs of extreme wear. There also was a significant burn pattern
on his nether regions in the outline of the device. And so they started
to do the math and they realized that the women's bathing suit, the plastic
wrap, the the gag, the I'm sorry that there was a gag to
um, and the knockoff flashlight style device apparently had electrocuted him when he turned
it on, and that's what killed him right there. But it's not over
because after removing the man and taking him to the hospital or to the morgue,
they did some they did some autopsy stuff and quickly were fascinated by an
X ray that showed a collection of strange foreign bodies in his um certain cavities,
which was basically was a prophylactic stuff with ping pong balls on the balls
he had labeled his name because you know, you want to make sure that
you're I guess only using your ping pong balls and the ping pong ball attachment
had had been attached to a plastic cylinder that was also there. As a
result of the electrocution, As well as all the other stuff, they say
the man suffered a collective internal organ congestion, swelling in the lungs and brain
due to trapped fluid, and also had blood trapped in his heart chamber,
all of which led to his death. So don't do all that stuff,
and don't cheap out on the electronic device, can we agree? Right?
Like you probably everything else, you probably would have been fine with the other
stuff. God help you, but you went. You went. Knockoff,
you went, you know, you went? Ah, what did they have
one built in China for a fifth of the price? Sign me up.
I'll take that. You get what you pay for. I can't even I
can't even imagine, Man, how many, how many of your parents,
not to this extent, have rolled into your kid's room and seen something you
wish you never saw? All right, we'll amplify that by a thousand.
That's the story, and it's flipping awful. Unfortunately, it's far from the
only I'm reading from the article now. Unfortunately, this is far from the
only example of this particular set of this paraphilia thing example of dangerous behavior that
has caused signific an injury and or death. In fact, they estimate that
on average, there are five hundred incidents worldwide that results have resulted in a
fatal outcome. Where is a collection of all sorts of stuff? Oh,
one other item too, I'm sorry also, um the oh no, I'm
sorry, this was a separate incident. They say that, in fact,
one of the most deadly particular things involves double A batteries and I you know,
I can't even describe where they're putting them. But if you're a dude,
cringe, real cringe. Okay, so there you go. So yeah,
guy like ping pong, I guess what are you gonna do? All
right? Eight seventeen Koda Radio program see whatever happens to you today? Just
you know, just slough it off, just bad. You know what could
be worse? I could be that dude. So I just wanted to give
you hope, all right, eight seventeen Coming up Bonds a show as we
all recoil and pain, just thinking about all of that, we have to
get into. Where is this the sports illustrated swimsuit stuff I didn't realize that
so, and I guess they've done this for a couple of years now,
so instead of just one cover model, they have four or something and h
Miller Lite Miller Lte with their own little woke advertisement. Although I think people,
I think it's unfair to compare it one percent of what bud Light was
doing. I'll explain coming up here on the k c O Day radio program
ten Years of New Years twice an hour and smart Talk all Day nine four
five WPTI in the Triad and one oh six one FM Talk in the Triangle.
All right, welcome back, eight twenty two here on the case O
Day radio program. Police in Louisiana say they found a the body of a
worker at an Arby's, actually just dead inside the fast food cooler. They
have a walk in cooler. Police say the body was found around six thirty
pm last end of last week. Isis was Thursday. I was gonna do
the story yesterday and I got sidetracked. And they're investigating, saying that the
death was considered suspicious, but not a lot of details out there, just
that it was an employee there, so probably don't eat at that Arby's in
New Iberia for now we see anna good lord man. All right, here's
the story I wanted to talk about. This is right on the cusp?
What is this hold on? Oh? I thought someone was mad at me.
I laughed my butt off listening you guys try to explain the perverted stude.
It's not perverted, sirt. So this is this this man um ah,
he's um he's a legend, and not in a good way. Now
most would just use the medical terms, but you guys come up with more
creative ways. Yeah. You know, we aimed to please. We want
people to be informed, but also we want them not to be overwhelmed with
builting it. Yeah, I'll tell you what. The one thing, especially
from the story, sir, that I just I'm very sad we don't know.
I want to know what kind of porny was watching, because you think
it would just be the craziest crap on the planet. You know that stuff
where you're like, there's no way that's a thing, and then you find
out it's a thing. But what if it's just normal, regular stuff?
What's that he's watching? Forrest Gump? That would get that goes into the
crazy side, right, he's watching my Ponies Fury. Maybe a ping pong
enthusiast could be. Those are two good ping pong movies, And I'd almost
be disappointed if it wasn't something like that. But I digress. All right,
back to this. It's around the cusp of Mother's Day CNN, Holy
cow putting this out. The advantage advantages are being raised by a single mother,
outweigh expectations, an outlast childhood embarrassment. Now, I kind of get
what you're going for. And if you wanted to do a if you want
to do a story talking about the number of households that are single mother household,
that's I think that that's a that's a noble endeavor. You know,
there are some people out there who surmise that the lack of two parent households
may contribute to some of the problems society faces. I take the opinion that,
you know, everybody's experience is going to be different, but certain patterns
emerge. And and let me tell you this as somebody who was raised in
a single parent, single mother household for a good portion of his life,
and not as much as my siblings, mind you, Since I was the
oldest and my dad decided he'd had enough right around the time I was turning
twelve. It's tough. It's tough for a lot of reasons. And I
firmly believe that there are certain life experiences, certain hang up, certain you
know, let's say issues as much as just you know, things that shape
me that people wouldn't understand who didn't grow up in that necessary necessarily in that
environment. Good things and bad things. It'll go, it will, it
will impact you down the road. It's you. I'll tell you. One
of the things that's really hard is when you have somebody who decides they just
they don't want to be part of the family anymore. In that situation,
when you're a kid, Uh, it's it's really hard to deal with the
idea that you didn't contribute to that, and it messes a lot of people
up. You have to you have to get to a place where you recognize
that you're not at fault unless you are. But you know most of the
time that's not the case, and it can lead to trust issues, right,
Uh, the inability to form certain relationships in you know, these are
all the things that if you read into this, that people struggle with because
you you know, you got bit once you don't want to get it again,
and you have to be able to overcome that. You have to get
to a place where you recognize that that's unnecessarily the case, but it definitely
shapes you. Man so to write it in a way that it's some kind
of preferential thing in very rare circumstances, maybe where somebody's just an abusive monster,
but for the most part, we don't need to make excuses for it.
And I you know, and for CNN to do guy right on the
customer Mother's Day is bonkers to me, and to put it into to phrase
it that way, but sure enough they did. Then I'll give you more
on this coming up. Hang on a c O Day radio program one oh
six one f them Talk, w PTI, two stations driving the best in
talk. This is Casey O Day and Carolina's Morning News. So a few
years ago, Sports Illustrated decided that they would not have a single super cover
model for their swimsuit issue and instead they would have several and by several,
I mean four. So there are four different cover models. By making quotes
air quotes, four different cover models for the annual Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue Brooks
Nader. I don't know if you know who Brooks Nader is. She's an
actress and model, and you know, it looks pretty standard to what you
would expect from a Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue cover model from previous years. Megan
Fox obviously you know who that is. He's got a little gothy. She
went a little gothy. Um, it's with that weird rapper do what's his
name, machine Gun Kelly or whatever. But you'll probably remember her from the
Transformers movie. Okay, that's fine. Um, so there's that. So
far, Ross, I was to get you those two copies, you'd be
fine, right, Yeah, sounds fine, sounds normal, But I feel
like you should have all four. I mean collect you need the whole collection,
right right, So I would have to include also the cover model of
Kim Petrius, who um was born a dude. So at this point it's
predictable, though. Yeah, it's almost twea did you almost twos? Did
you see Ian Miles chungs he's a big guy on Twitter, a big right
wing guy. Did you see his reaction to it? To the to the
post, No, it's so funny. So somebody posted, you know they
retweeted the original story, the SI story with the photo, the cover of
the photo, the cover, and it just said this is a dude,
by the way, And then in the comments, uh ian Chung he replied,
oh no, so he had some uh oh no, some post game
regret. This is why you got to do your research. Man. Do
you know if he's into ping ponga? He does, Oh no, that's
funny. There is a fourth cover though, uh and this individual not a
transwoman, but is eighty one year old Martha Stewart. Martha Stewart will become
the oldest model in SI swimsuit history. The eighty one year old said quote,
Usually I'm motivated by pay, but this time I was motivated by showing
people what a woman my age could still look good, feel good, be
good. So there's there's that. But yeah, I feel like you're gonna
have to have all four covers. But aren't it's a good thing that you
did your research on the one right, one thousand percent? Yeah, I
mean they can they can Martha Stewart though, I mean they have filters so
people can look like animals, so they can make her look okay, yeah,
yeah, that's fine. And you know, Frankly, if that was
his edgy a Sports Illustrated was getting like five years ago, that would have
been the big controversy. But it's just not. And you know, you
look at like bud Light and then Miller Light, they're in the crosshair,
so though it's it's a little different. So a Miller Light ad started making
the rounds. But I would I would tell you that this ad, which
is it's not an ad they were running on TV or anything, but rather
it was you know, some web based longer form thing and they did it
as part of one of the women's empowerment months or something. This is back
in March, so this actually predates the Dylan mulvaney thing by a few weeks,
okay. And in the ad you have a woman who and by the
way, everyone in the ad is a biologically born woman, and basically she's
walking around and they're showing you know, past Billard lite advertising stuff so print
pages, commercials, things like that, which obviously included a lot of women
in swim suits. There's a very famous Super Bowl ad where two women are
getting into a fight at an outdoor cafe and eventually the fight ends up in
a fountain and they tear clothes off and now they're in their underwear, and
there just happens to be a construction crew nearby and with cements another mud wrestling
in there, and it cuts to a bar where it's a dream sequence by
two guys, one going and that's the ad I'd create, and their girlfriends
look at them like they're idiots. It was a funny ad. IM remember
that back in the day, and I was a miller ad. So this
takes a different approach and obviously is meant to appeal to women and with a
certain woke factor. But again, everyone in the ad is a woman,
albeit not necessary. Probably somebody who I don't know, I have a lot
of fun hanging out with. But take a listen. CRE's a little known
fact women were among the very first to brew beer ever, from Mesopotamia to
the Middle Ages to colonial America. Wait, wait a sec wait, hold
on, ross, are they playing us? Did you catch that at the
very beginning of the ad where about women being the first to brew beer,
including Mesopotamia? Are they doing a Cleopatra thing? No? No, no,
no, no, no, that would be the ass Syrians. See
what I did there? Oh? I see it's a butt pun. Anyway,
continue on. CRE's a little known fact women were among the very first
to brew beer ever, from Mesopotamia to the Middle Ages to colonial America.
Women were the ones doing the brewing centuries later. How did the industry pay
homage to the founding mothers of beer? They put us in bikinis. Wow,
be fair, not all of you. And look addition, wild,
it's time beer made it up to women. So today miller Light is on
a mission to clean up not just there's a whole beer industry show. Miller
Light has been scouring the internet for all this and buying it back so that
he can turn it into good for women brewers. All right, I'm not
gonna play the whole thing for you. You can check it out if you
want. We got a link for you. But um, the point,
and the point that she's made when she's talking about is basically they're getting all
of the you know, the physical objects that are made of paper, and
they're composting it and turn it into de fertilizer. And obviously it's not some
big financial league good undertaking, but it's about sending a message and you know,
all of the and you know, people are saying well, look this
is you know, they're just trying to top bud light and they're really not
one. It's a targeted ad to some extent. Was the Mulveny thing,
right if they had just come out and said, nah, we have a
company, and they they set it to like one hundred to whoever the top
one hundred influencers there are were, so and it ran the gamut and you
could prove that it did, like even sending it to maybe some conservative influencers,
then I think probably people would have just it wouldn't have been such a
big thing. But with the Miller thing, one, all the women there
are biological women, which is one of the objections obviously the big objections to
dealing mulvany because it felt like it was demeaning to women. In this case,
obviously the point of attack is men, and so there still is this
inability to empower without having to verbally demolish, right, because you can empower
without having to kick someone in the face or in this case, you know
these evil men of past. But the problem, the problem is here,
it doesn't do that. It strictly goes in on that. Listen to what
these pigs were up to and now you're dangerously close to that same language.
We heard the marketing chick from budd Light Use talking about how the brand sucks
and it's fratty and we got to turn it around and that and I understand
wanting to expand your brand in a time when you know the consumption of this
kind of beer is shrinking, and beer in general, for that matter,
the younger generation doesn't drink as much beer. But the inability to do it
without crapping on who is still the largest part of your market share baffles me.
But I just I don't understand. I don't understand how you think that's
good. That's like us running radio promotions, trying to expand our female audience
here on the show by saying, you know, too long talk radio has
been not to be dudes and we hate them, right, That's insane.
And that's that is, into some extent, what the Miller Light ad is
doing in the same way the butt Light one was. But the content,
arguably is is a little different. And I don't know, maybe it's just
because we're more used to that kind of stuff where men are idiots and women
are so smart And I haven't even fact checked the brewing stuff that sounds like
one of those BuzzFeed things or like I try to live a day without inventions
by women, and then you'd look to see that half of the stuff is
not true. But if it isn't an ad that would have ended up on
the radar if not for bud light. So there are some components missing.
But I understand why people are upset, but also check it out for yourself.
I don't think has there ever been a has a woman ever drinking a
beer in a bikini? Has that ever happened? I'm willing to research that.
Um maybe I don't know. Have you ever been to what's the Sandy
area of the state? Yea, the beach there. Yeah, I'm does
it happen? You know, I've been there, and I think I may
have noticed something like that, although a lot of times now they're drinking like,
you know, fruity fruity chickpop stuff. But yeah, I'm sure the
beer things happened. In fact, back of the day when I was in
Minnesota and we did I had the boat and we do that. Uh yeah,
I'm almost one hundred percent we had women in swimsuits that would drink beer
on that boat. So I might have some photos. I'll happen they should
turn themselves in. I'm just saying gender traders anyway. Eight forty six brace
Agic from the weather Channel. He's here. Do you like beer, sir?
Are you a beer guy? I at your beer? O choice?
Uh? Okay, all right, Well everyone's mad at all the beer people
for I know, I know me. I stay away from that stuff where
you have to drink a whole face okay, yeah, stand holding the regular
beer. I did did see mine? No, it's like to swallow the
whole can. No, but only on weekends. You know. It's not
all right? Well it get beer drinking weekend for women. It is.
It will be, it will be. We'll get through this stuff today to
some spotty showers, most of them in the line from just south of Greensboro
to Sanford down toward Fayetteville. If you haven't gotten a shower yet, you
probably will, and also to the east. And as we get into the
afternoon, these will diminish. But later today, probably after three or four
o'clock, we'll see a line come into the western parts of the state.
That's the actual Coal Front showers. Thuderstone will become more likely as we head
closer to probably ten o'clock try and then rolling across from about nine ten o'clock
toward midnight across the triangle, those will be the stronger storms. We aren't
our slight to enhance the risk of severe weather. So if you go to
bed seven eight o'clock, may want to click on your alerts. We may
get a warning or two out of this line with wind and hail. Its
eve been a chance for a tornado. Before all that happens, we'll get
into the little bit eighties. Then the front will go through. It'll be
changes tonight, we'll be in the load of miid sixties. There may be
a shower around tomorrow, will developed sunshine in the afternoon, very pleasant,
low humidity, upper seventies to low eighties, pleasant fifties. Tomorrow night some
of us might sneak into the upper forties and then a sunny rest of the
week. Thursday and Friday, casey, really nice load of bid seventies during
the day, fifties at night, maybe in the mountains especially, you might
get into the forties. But the severe weather threat is most likely. Let's
make it after dinner till about midnight, give or take as the line comes
into the west and rolls east and out. Ahead of it, there may
be a couple of showers thunder showers, but that'll be the main line coming
through last a little while, that'll be over it. So once it passes,
we'll be done with the worst of this weather and then we'll have some
better weather, but it'll be a slow process. Thursday and Friday look like
from this point forward the best days of the next four All right, cool,
cool, Thank you sir, appreciate it, and we'll come back.
Chat with Jeff Bellings your next hang on your day Smarter and celebrating ten years
of keeping you better informed one oh six one FM Talk and News Talk five
WPTI More with Casey. Starts now are fifty four quickly Jeff Bellinger, Bloomberg
News. What's happening Lardy? Casey got a report from Washington that retail sales
rebounded last month, but not by as much as expected. The Commerce Department
reports sales rose four tenths percent in April. That was half of what economists
expected. Disappointing results from Home Depot will likely weigh on the Blue Chips today.
Comparable store sales fell more than expected in the latest quarter stock market futures
are lower across the board now futures down ninety three points. Now. Verizon
is overhauling its wireless offers, no more freebees, and service plans will be
consolidated into just two and a high level meeting on the debt ceiling is planned
for later today. Case President Biden wants to meet with congressional leaders. But
how Speaker Kevin McCarthy is already working to tamp down expectations. He says,
talk so far have made little progress. Casey, alrighty, Jeff, thank
you much. Talk Okay, have a good day, appreciate it. Um.
Oh wait, wait, hold on, we got a cancelation. We're
gonna get to here in just a moment. Let me grab a quick phone
call Jake, what's up? Hey, good morning, the uh the ladies
room beer, old old shrews have been bashing us men forever, so it
really doesn't affect us anymore. But the real question is that nobody seems to
be asking, were these women trying to drug us? See I'm envisioning pirate
Wench is trying to drug us and sell us to uh, you know,
the the Chinese slave trade. Knowledge. Yeah, Shang the shanghaiing of people.
Yeah, I wondering if they're fascinating. If you ever go, if
you ever go to Seattle, Um, they have like an under Seattle is
actually a sitting on top of a city and they have these underground little tours
you can take. So if you can make it around the homeless people and
the drug addicts and get down there. Um, there's some cool stuff from
back in the day when that was a thing, man. Uh, and
yeah, they'll play a part on that. Essentially, there were bounties on
men and they would use feminine wiles to get men to these areas where they'd
get kidnapped. So oh, I was envisioning the pirate wenches. Yeah,
well they're not pirates themselves, but yeah, but you know close enough,
sir, So I'm with you all right, have a good morning, right,
cool cool? Yeah, yep, that was a thing. Again.
I love history, man, love history, and judging by the life that
those women lived too, it was pretty awful. So you know the fact
that they had a side hustle, it was just it was what it was.
It ain't right, but it is, uh, you know, part
of history. So you got that there. Uh, you remember hobo fights
or actually, you know what, I'm gonna do hobo fights tomorrow. Let
me do this instead. Ross, how would you describe your race, your
ethnicity white? Big wow bit well, bigot, big at, bigot,
bigot, bigot. No, that is out. The term white is out.
Now Caucasian. No, come on, man, you can get us
canceled. No. The new term you ready for this? Uh m?
The new alternative term, which I'm sure will be mandated at one point,
is now European American, which, by the way, I used to hear
people say when when people started using African American a lot, somebody would be
like Irish American and then they would get called racist. So the fact now
that it's the preferred thing, um, and it's basically now woke individuals.
One. It listed to remind people of their largely European heritage, so they
can remember what a bunch of horrible people they are, colonizers and such.
So you would be you would be a European American, not quite eurotrash,
but you just got to be reminded. So there you go. Well,
something new, you know, screw it the language again. All right,
we'll get into the bumfight story. Tomorrow. It's amazing. It's horrible,
but you know this is this is the new Blue Cities man, and I
have some questions, so talk to you, then see it.
