WEBVTT

1
00:00:43.880 --> 00:00:48.079
Monday Funday, Ain't it great?
Good morning everybody? It is the case

2
00:00:48.240 --> 00:00:56.799
O Day Radio program and uh yeah, another week of punching that alarm pot,

3
00:00:56.799 --> 00:01:00.679
getting up early, doing your thing
and listening to us wine about stuff.

4
00:01:00.759 --> 00:01:03.040
But hey, that's you know,
that's why you're here, and we're

5
00:01:03.079 --> 00:01:07.599
glad and we got lots to wine
about today. That's some other stuff just

6
00:01:07.640 --> 00:01:12.480
to gawk at too, So I'm
always down for a good gawking floridamand makes

7
00:01:12.519 --> 00:01:21.560
an appearance. Let's see Ross's back, by the way, is the neat?

8
00:01:22.079 --> 00:01:25.239
Did you see that you weren't here
last week? And I did my

9
00:01:25.319 --> 00:01:29.959
best not to send you any stories
because you know, vacation to the extent

10
00:01:30.040 --> 00:01:37.840
that you can take one kind of
thing. But last week it was announced

11
00:01:37.840 --> 00:01:42.280
that there's a pasta shortage and pasta
crisis, and it happened to coincide with

12
00:01:42.400 --> 00:01:48.079
you not being here, and there
were some questions that were raised. Yeah,

13
00:01:48.200 --> 00:01:49.920
that's because of a ross Fest brought
to you by alve Garden. That's

14
00:01:49.920 --> 00:01:55.640
where I was out, so they
sponsored the event. Right, you weren't

15
00:01:55.640 --> 00:02:00.400
there, which is you shouldn't say
unlimited by the way, exactly on anything

16
00:02:00.439 --> 00:02:06.040
almost like Firefest Metallic, who was
there, Hoodie Kesha, Jo Rude.

17
00:02:06.120 --> 00:02:07.800
Yeah, it was a big show
man, Thank you everybody for being there.

18
00:02:08.479 --> 00:02:12.840
You never showed up. It was
very sad chicken out. Well.

19
00:02:12.879 --> 00:02:15.759
You know, the last time I
showed up to your thing, which was

20
00:02:15.759 --> 00:02:19.439
your Twitch thing, I got booted. So I didn't want to. I

21
00:02:19.479 --> 00:02:22.759
got moderated out of there. I
don't want to be there, you know,

22
00:02:22.879 --> 00:02:24.840
you don't want an incident where like
w r L can get a video

23
00:02:24.879 --> 00:02:30.080
of me being like thrown screaming from
there, like Kyle's dad screaming. Is

24
00:02:30.120 --> 00:02:36.919
this America right? You missed Jesse
Camp in the dunk tank? Oh no,

25
00:02:37.080 --> 00:02:39.960
Yeah, it's a big event.
Man with Alfredo, saw Water,

26
00:02:40.280 --> 00:02:45.840
Slaughter, Pincina, God, the
stuff that happened at ross Fest. Appreciate

27
00:02:45.919 --> 00:02:52.680
it. It showed up. I
didn't. I admittedly I didn't know any

28
00:02:52.719 --> 00:02:54.280
of that was going on. I
just saw that in Italy their version of

29
00:02:54.319 --> 00:02:59.000
the FBI is investigating because there's apasta
show. No. I actually missed like

30
00:02:59.080 --> 00:03:01.840
any news last week. I did
a few streams on Twitch and some people

31
00:03:01.840 --> 00:03:05.039
were like mentioning news stories, were
like, hey, what do you think

32
00:03:05.120 --> 00:03:07.479
is gonna happen on Friday? And
I was like, I am completely oblivious

33
00:03:07.520 --> 00:03:10.960
to all the news. I gotta
tell you it's a and you know this

34
00:03:12.159 --> 00:03:16.960
and Ross Ross can a test,
it's a It's one of the best parts

35
00:03:16.960 --> 00:03:21.479
about vacation. It is and it
wasn't. It wasn't a legification Markie and

36
00:03:21.479 --> 00:03:25.360
I take when we visit family.
We travel separately because it's really hard to

37
00:03:25.360 --> 00:03:30.039
travel Lincoln due to the autism long
you know, plane rides or car rides,

38
00:03:30.039 --> 00:03:35.039
they're nearly impossible, so we take
turns. She visits her family,

39
00:03:35.120 --> 00:03:38.240
I visit my family. It's weird, but it's what we do. So

40
00:03:38.280 --> 00:03:42.680
she went down Louisiana, so it
didn't really feel like a Besides Ross Fest,

41
00:03:42.840 --> 00:03:45.520
it didn't really feel like a big
lego vacation because I was taking care

42
00:03:45.520 --> 00:03:47.919
of him alone all week, school
pick up, all that sort of stuff.

43
00:03:49.199 --> 00:03:51.840
But when it comes to the news
and prep, I didn't like my

44
00:03:52.159 --> 00:03:54.560
Twitter feed. I kept it on
the four U tab instead of the following

45
00:03:54.599 --> 00:03:58.439
time. I didn't watch any news, completely oblivious to anything to happened last

46
00:03:58.439 --> 00:04:00.439
week. So any story you're gonna
bring up, I have no idea.

47
00:04:00.680 --> 00:04:02.840
Yep, and I and I didn't
send you any news. I may have

48
00:04:02.879 --> 00:04:06.439
sent you like dumb stuff, but
dumb stuff doesn't count because dumb stuff is

49
00:04:06.479 --> 00:04:11.719
just entertaining. But as far as
news stuff, don't care. It's the

50
00:04:11.759 --> 00:04:15.240
best. It's absolutely the best.
And I gotta tell you. On the

51
00:04:15.280 --> 00:04:18.639
weekends, even on the weekends like
Sunday before noon, like some of you,

52
00:04:19.360 --> 00:04:24.240
I you know, God bless you. You get up Sunday morning or

53
00:04:24.279 --> 00:04:28.319
Saturday morning even and you'll send me
like three or four links. Just know

54
00:04:28.399 --> 00:04:31.720
I ain't reading your crap until Sunday
after twelve noon. It's not the personal,

55
00:04:31.839 --> 00:04:34.279
No, it's amazing what a week
off like that, away from the

56
00:04:34.319 --> 00:04:41.120
news cycle and the doom scrolling of
Twitter or social media can do. It's

57
00:04:41.120 --> 00:04:43.759
like you feel like you're back in
the old days, like you know,

58
00:04:44.360 --> 00:04:47.600
the days before social media, where
it's like you go to fine, Yeah,

59
00:04:47.680 --> 00:04:50.639
like everything's fine. It's like you
open the door, this birds chirping,

60
00:04:50.639 --> 00:04:54.160
the sky is blue, it's beautiful, gonna go to the gym,

61
00:04:54.560 --> 00:04:57.120
I have no stress. And you
come back and you start doing prep on

62
00:04:57.120 --> 00:05:00.439
Sunday night, you're like, yeah, life sucks again. It's like and

63
00:05:00.720 --> 00:05:04.480
you realize that things are really the
same. The difference is now we're more

64
00:05:04.519 --> 00:05:08.439
aware of them because of social media. So back in the day, it's

65
00:05:08.480 --> 00:05:10.480
like, you know, you know, you're like your head is in the

66
00:05:10.480 --> 00:05:13.240
sand. You weren't you weren't really
aware of all the crap that was going

67
00:05:13.279 --> 00:05:16.439
on. And now it's just magnified
by a thousand and it brings people down.

68
00:05:17.040 --> 00:05:19.800
The feeling, the feeling. And
I've had this feeling. You've had

69
00:05:19.800 --> 00:05:25.040
this feeling. Anyone our age or
older's had this feeling of going to school

70
00:05:25.079 --> 00:05:29.519
on Monday and finding out about something
that happened, even as like Friday after

71
00:05:29.560 --> 00:05:32.680
school. That is one of the
biggest news stories to hit your town,

72
00:05:33.639 --> 00:05:38.879
you know from or hit your social
group, I should say, right,

73
00:05:38.959 --> 00:05:43.199
like somebody's uh, you know,
like a like a family that you know,

74
00:05:43.439 --> 00:05:46.800
or a kid was killed in a
car crash or um. So there

75
00:05:46.879 --> 00:05:53.600
was a big old raid and it
happened right across from the school. You

76
00:05:53.639 --> 00:05:56.839
know, those kinds of news stories
which you would instantly see on Twitter or

77
00:05:56.879 --> 00:06:00.399
Facebook. Now we had to wait
till Monday. And I know most of

78
00:06:00.439 --> 00:06:03.040
you can identify with this and it
would blow your mind. It may be

79
00:06:03.040 --> 00:06:06.600
more so mine because the town I
grew up and was so so so small,

80
00:06:08.240 --> 00:06:12.279
but like to not know about that
stuff. I don't. I don't

81
00:06:12.399 --> 00:06:15.800
live there anymore, and I know
instantly when something happened. Now only would

82
00:06:15.800 --> 00:06:17.839
it just take you the weekend ness? He would learn about news, But

83
00:06:17.879 --> 00:06:20.240
there would only be one thing that
you'd be talking about. It wasn't like

84
00:06:20.279 --> 00:06:25.959
forty or fifty negative stories that you're
constantly you know, that are constantly going

85
00:06:25.959 --> 00:06:28.920
into your brain. So you'd come
back on Monday and you'd be like,

86
00:06:28.920 --> 00:06:31.839
oh my god, Paul Pfeiffer is
Marilyn Manson and he had what removed?

87
00:06:32.040 --> 00:06:34.319
Right? Like that would happen,
and it's like that would be it for

88
00:06:34.360 --> 00:06:38.600
the week. Well, you have
lots of ribs. I mean, you

89
00:06:38.680 --> 00:06:42.759
know anyone who's ever done endless ribs
at Chili's. Have you thought of incorporating

90
00:06:42.800 --> 00:06:46.199
that into Rossfest? Or is it
strictly an olive garden promo? I can't

91
00:06:46.199 --> 00:06:49.240
really, it's contractual, I can't. All right, Yeah, that's fair,

92
00:06:49.279 --> 00:06:51.959
that's fair. It's a business thing. You don't want to screw that

93
00:06:53.079 --> 00:06:57.439
up. So but but no,
But on that story, in a more

94
00:06:57.439 --> 00:07:00.839
serious note, So the price of
wheat isn't up, but the price of

95
00:07:00.959 --> 00:07:03.480
pasta is up like twenty five percent, and it's becoming scarce, and so

96
00:07:03.800 --> 00:07:10.040
they're pretty sure someone's manipulating the pasta
market, so they're doing investigation. Can

97
00:07:10.079 --> 00:07:17.480
you imagine somebody in Italy in a
criminal manner, perhaps organizing that crime that

98
00:07:17.560 --> 00:07:24.399
crimes to manipulate um the public for
profits. You're trying to say, like,

99
00:07:24.399 --> 00:07:27.920
I'm like, I'm like the Nancy
Pelosia pasta. I appreciate it.

100
00:07:28.160 --> 00:07:30.160
No, no, no, no, I'm saying in Italy, perhaps somebody

101
00:07:30.279 --> 00:07:38.800
t commit a crime, organized the
crime I nah to never facilitate building the

102
00:07:38.839 --> 00:07:42.519
public on pasta, which is obviously
a staple then all across the world.

103
00:07:42.759 --> 00:07:47.439
But you see, impossible is what
you're saying. It's impotantly completely impossible organized

104
00:07:47.439 --> 00:07:50.000
crime at of Italy. No,
no, okay, all right, hey,

105
00:07:50.079 --> 00:07:53.120
you know what, this is why
we do the show. We speculate,

106
00:07:53.160 --> 00:07:56.279
We bounce ideas. These things happen. So I'll give you a rundown.

107
00:07:56.279 --> 00:08:00.079
You want to speculate on that you
can. Um, we got we

108
00:08:00.160 --> 00:08:03.160
got crime fighting cows, we got
all. It's a weird Monday, so

109
00:08:03.360 --> 00:08:07.959
you know, just buckle in case. O Day Radio program hang on ten

110
00:08:09.040 --> 00:08:13.839
years of news twice an hour and
smart talk all day, four five w

111
00:08:13.199 --> 00:08:24.920
PTI in the Triad and one six
one FM Talk in the Triangle. All

112
00:08:24.000 --> 00:08:33.039
right, good morning six twenty here
on the Cacoda Radio program. Do Do

113
00:08:33.039 --> 00:08:39.879
Do Do Do do? Uh Man? All right, that's fun. I

114
00:08:39.919 --> 00:08:45.519
had to relog in with micro nutchem
on my computator here. It was acting

115
00:08:45.559 --> 00:08:48.279
weird Friday too. It was your
computer okay this morning. I didn't even

116
00:08:48.360 --> 00:08:52.679
ask. Yeah, so far everything's
fine. Oh all right, I know

117
00:08:52.679 --> 00:08:54.840
there's some weird update, or it's
just me. Maybe it's just this particular

118
00:08:56.519 --> 00:09:01.200
maybe it's just targeted at me.
Thank you whoever heads are technological center of

119
00:09:01.240 --> 00:09:07.320
excellence, appreciate that. So,
m dude, I gotta tell you.

120
00:09:07.480 --> 00:09:13.120
I saw this story over the weekend, and it's just one of those that's

121
00:09:13.159 --> 00:09:20.279
in a long line of predictable water
carries. We'll call it that. Right,

122
00:09:20.919 --> 00:09:26.559
Where's somebody either at the Washington Post
or the New York Times or perhaps

123
00:09:26.600 --> 00:09:33.159
like like Hoffington Post can't do it, Maybe like NBC CNN can kind of

124
00:09:33.200 --> 00:09:37.000
do it. But you have to
you have to have this this pretentious pretend

125
00:09:37.120 --> 00:09:41.879
game that that you're above the frame, you're just looking at the facts,

126
00:09:41.879 --> 00:09:50.039
and you have enough gullible idiots who
believe that. Well, Washington Post decided

127
00:09:50.080 --> 00:09:58.519
to do this, so obviously you
know that Netflix is doing a docu drama

128
00:09:58.840 --> 00:10:09.600
called Queen Cleopatra, and there's been
some discussion, mostly the part where they

129
00:10:09.679 --> 00:10:15.960
cast Adele James as the person to
play Cleopatra. I like Adele James actually

130
00:10:16.480 --> 00:10:33.320
from an actress perspective, but Adele
James is bi racial. But see this

131
00:10:33.399 --> 00:10:35.200
stuff, and this this is the
kind of crap that makes me so um.

132
00:10:35.679 --> 00:10:41.200
I just think it's so stupid societally
because while she's mixed race, somebody

133
00:10:41.200 --> 00:10:46.120
can be mixed race and if they
have the wrong opinions, they may get

134
00:10:46.120 --> 00:10:52.200
accused of you know, well,
how society allows you to pass. But

135
00:10:52.480 --> 00:11:01.039
Adele James is definitively recognized, at
least in my opinion, as a as

136
00:11:01.080 --> 00:11:05.279
a black actress. Right, there's
some that are mixed race where people will

137
00:11:05.279 --> 00:11:09.080
go, well, but they really
pass more for a white eye, and

138
00:11:09.159 --> 00:11:13.240
which I think is just dumb.
Right, people's heritage is people's heritage whatever.

139
00:11:13.480 --> 00:11:20.120
Don't care. All right, I'm
not pointing this out because I got

140
00:11:20.120 --> 00:11:26.320
beef with the del James, but
as many people have pointed out, including

141
00:11:26.480 --> 00:11:39.960
the country of Egypt, Cleopatra was
Hellenistic Greek, Macedonian Hellenistic Greek, and

142
00:11:41.200 --> 00:11:46.639
we have a pretty firm understanding of
what she looked like. And it's important

143
00:11:46.679 --> 00:11:56.039
in and of itself because she was
able to rule Egypt as an outsider and

144
00:11:56.240 --> 00:12:07.639
not an outsider that you know,
was seen as a an occupier. I

145
00:12:07.679 --> 00:12:11.679
guess would be the best way to
describe it to the extent that we know.

146
00:12:13.039 --> 00:12:15.720
I mean, you know, you're
still filling in the gaps when you

147
00:12:15.759 --> 00:12:20.519
go back this far, but and
and and then you ever crossing pass obviously

148
00:12:20.720 --> 00:12:26.320
with Mark Antony and all sorts of
stuff, right Julius Caesar report of a

149
00:12:26.399 --> 00:12:31.879
relationship with Julius Caesar. I mean, there you go. There's all sorts

150
00:12:31.879 --> 00:12:37.840
of milestones there. So if you're
going to make a docu drama, obviously

151
00:12:37.919 --> 00:12:41.200
there's going to be artistic license there. But as many people have pointed out,

152
00:12:41.320 --> 00:12:48.759
including Egypt, it is not an
accurate representation of who she is from

153
00:12:48.799 --> 00:12:54.639
an appearance standpoint, a racial standpoint, Nor is Liz Taylor Okay, who

154
00:12:54.639 --> 00:13:00.480
obviously is very famous for playing her. But arguably Liz Taylor's features, which

155
00:13:00.480 --> 00:13:09.559
are Mediterranean features, are closer that
being said Washington post saw this, saw

156
00:13:09.639 --> 00:13:13.840
people putting this out there. The
standard line that all sorts of the racists

157
00:13:13.840 --> 00:13:18.919
are fired up and they're threatening this
actress, Which how many times have we

158
00:13:18.960 --> 00:13:22.519
heard that? Now? Anytime that
there's a project coming out where they decide

159
00:13:22.559 --> 00:13:30.639
to cross cast somebody or casts a
reimagine a character's heritage, okay, well,

160
00:13:30.679 --> 00:13:35.639
generally that's taking place on characters who
aren't real. This is a real

161
00:13:35.759 --> 00:13:43.000
person. So if if we're in
an era where you don't culturally appropriate and

162
00:13:43.240 --> 00:13:50.639
you want to as you want to
cut through the whitening of history or however

163
00:13:50.679 --> 00:13:56.720
it's described to divide people, you
should strive for an appearance of accuracy with

164
00:13:56.960 --> 00:14:01.279
artistic license in the sense that it's
Hollywood and it does what Hollywood does.

165
00:14:01.679 --> 00:14:09.679
But this seems to be this this
cornerstone recasting to empower black actors and actresses,

166
00:14:11.399 --> 00:14:13.639
and so Hollywood just needs to be
upfront that's why they're doing this.

167
00:14:15.480 --> 00:14:18.159
And if they just say that we're
doing this because this is what we want

168
00:14:18.200 --> 00:14:20.279
to do and screw all y'all,
then that's their position and you can decide

169
00:14:20.279 --> 00:14:24.440
whether to watch it or not.
The producer of all of this is Jada

170
00:14:24.480 --> 00:14:33.440
Pinkett, Smith. You may know
her from g I Jane Jokes and her

171
00:14:33.519 --> 00:14:37.960
husband Will Smith and Chris Rock and
all that. All right, So so

172
00:14:39.120 --> 00:14:43.519
with this going on, Washington Post
gets the job of carrying the water and

173
00:14:43.600 --> 00:14:50.519
it says, was Cleopatra black?
We're asking the wrong question. Experts say

174
00:14:50.559 --> 00:15:00.000
critics of Netflix's docu drama Cleopatra are
applying modern racial constructs to an ancient civilization?

175
00:15:03.360 --> 00:15:13.399
What the hell does that mean?
So let me just on just a

176
00:15:13.440 --> 00:15:22.879
couple of things. Let me let
me ask this question one because I'm confused

177
00:15:22.919 --> 00:15:28.320
now. So if experts say critics
of the docu drama are are are applying

178
00:15:28.480 --> 00:15:35.320
modern racial constructs to an ancient civilization, I thought, I mean, I

179
00:15:35.399 --> 00:15:37.960
don't think this, But I was
told this is how it is. I

180
00:15:39.200 --> 00:15:50.519
was told that everything from past days
historically should be filtered through modern racial constructs,

181
00:15:52.440 --> 00:15:58.679
modern morals ideas, what we would, what we do find, okay,

182
00:15:58.759 --> 00:16:03.200
what we don't find okay, And
only then can you judge somebody from

183
00:16:03.240 --> 00:16:08.960
the past using today's metrics. That
is my understanding, as it's been explained.

184
00:16:10.039 --> 00:16:11.440
Every time I see one of these
freak out, we got to cancel

185
00:16:11.559 --> 00:16:18.039
something articles and then I see it
in actual practice. When I'm sitting there

186
00:16:18.039 --> 00:16:22.799
and I'm reading a story where this
was last week. Ross, you weren't

187
00:16:22.799 --> 00:16:25.720
here, but it was another one
of those stories where it's like most of

188
00:16:25.759 --> 00:16:29.039
the kids don't know George Washington was
the first president, but they know he

189
00:16:29.120 --> 00:16:33.840
owned slaves or something. Right,
all right, so that's job number one.

190
00:16:33.879 --> 00:16:36.720
But Washington Post goes a step further, and boy, oh boy,

191
00:16:36.759 --> 00:16:38.799
are they going to carry water on
this and they're going to literally try to

192
00:16:38.960 --> 00:16:47.799
reargue Cleopatra's background. Hang on celebrating
ten years and still going strong. Thank

193
00:16:47.879 --> 00:16:52.720
you. Casey is on WPTI in
the Triad and one oh six one FM

194
00:16:52.840 --> 00:17:04.640
Talk in the Triangle. All right, good morning, six thirty four case

195
00:17:04.799 --> 00:17:11.960
O Day Radio program. Oh people
are I know? You can email me

196
00:17:11.000 --> 00:17:15.000
on Saturday. I'm just telling you. I'm not gonna read it. You

197
00:17:15.039 --> 00:17:19.480
can email me at one in the
morning on Saturday morning. I don't care.

198
00:17:22.480 --> 00:17:25.400
I'm just telling you. When I
actually dive into the stuff, I'll

199
00:17:25.440 --> 00:17:29.000
give a cursory scan. And I
actually have like with the iPhone, I

200
00:17:29.039 --> 00:17:37.240
can VIP email addresses and so,
like Rosses, a few of our bosses

201
00:17:37.720 --> 00:17:44.680
select salespeople. So if I see
their stuff on the weekend. I can

202
00:17:44.759 --> 00:17:48.799
glance at that because obviously maybe priority, but no, no, no,

203
00:17:48.920 --> 00:17:52.799
you can send whenever you won,
just on Sunday. Once I turn it

204
00:17:52.880 --> 00:17:56.720
on, the first thing I do
is I just barrel through all my email.

205
00:17:57.079 --> 00:18:00.200
Look at this, look at that. I mean, yeah, the

206
00:18:00.240 --> 00:18:03.799
prep. You have to take a
break for your sanity. Yeah. Like,

207
00:18:03.920 --> 00:18:07.480
there's some people I see them on
Twitter. They're they're they're apparently up

208
00:18:07.519 --> 00:18:11.319
like twenty four to seven posting stories
and arguing with Internet strangers, and God

209
00:18:11.319 --> 00:18:14.440
bless them. I don't know how
well, if they're arguing, that's fine

210
00:18:14.480 --> 00:18:17.720
posting stories. Obviously you can you
can get tweet deck and you can time

211
00:18:17.920 --> 00:18:21.880
posts and all that stuff. So
I like to think that's what they're doing.

212
00:18:21.920 --> 00:18:23.519
But you're right, once they're interacting
with people, I don't know how

213
00:18:23.559 --> 00:18:29.599
they do it. Don't understand it. And nobody wants to get you know,

214
00:18:29.680 --> 00:18:32.279
nobody wants to get emails during you
or you and I were just talking

215
00:18:32.319 --> 00:18:33.279
off the year. I won't get
into the details, but we were just

216
00:18:33.359 --> 00:18:37.680
talking off the area. And it
started with a salesperson sent you an email

217
00:18:37.720 --> 00:18:44.759
that started with I know you're on
vacation, but which of the time.

218
00:18:44.839 --> 00:18:47.279
It makes me want to lose my
mind, although in this case it was

219
00:18:47.359 --> 00:18:49.880
fine. I don't mind me being
contacted about stuff like that, but um,

220
00:18:52.480 --> 00:18:56.119
but it shows you this expectation,
and so also you got to kind

221
00:18:56.160 --> 00:19:00.880
of guard against it. I've had
a number of conversations with people we work

222
00:19:00.960 --> 00:19:03.480
with and I'll say something like,
all right, so I get off the

223
00:19:03.559 --> 00:19:07.559
air. Obviously, any you know, production, we need done promos,

224
00:19:07.640 --> 00:19:11.200
things like that, we got to
tape something to a client, thing,

225
00:19:11.319 --> 00:19:15.240
whatever, Let's get it all scheduled. Let's do it. Because during the

226
00:19:15.319 --> 00:19:19.640
middle of the day there's a few
hours where I kind of disconnect and then

227
00:19:19.759 --> 00:19:25.039
I start prep again, and they
they're just so, yeah, I noticed

228
00:19:25.079 --> 00:19:27.799
you didn't answer right away when I
texted you at two o'clock in the afternoon,

229
00:19:27.839 --> 00:19:33.119
and I'm like, yeah, yeah, I didn't because I'm gonna work

230
00:19:33.240 --> 00:19:36.119
now until seven o'clock at night,
eight o'clock, and you're gonna work till,

231
00:19:36.240 --> 00:19:38.480
you know, seven eight o'clock at
night, putting stuff together. It's

232
00:19:38.519 --> 00:19:41.759
it's part of what we do.
And then of course the day starts really

233
00:19:41.839 --> 00:19:47.359
early. We've we've split stuff up
or Friday afternoon because Sunday afternoon we work,

234
00:19:47.839 --> 00:19:52.759
so Friday afternoon, I'm gonna turn
it off, and I don't want

235
00:19:52.759 --> 00:19:56.720
anyone to think, Well, no, the twenty four seven connectivity. I

236
00:19:57.079 --> 00:20:06.559
miss those days. I miss those
in the nineteen In nineteen ninety, if

237
00:20:06.599 --> 00:20:08.519
your friends said they called you and
then you can get a hold of you,

238
00:20:08.640 --> 00:20:11.200
you would believe them, right,
because maybe you weren't home. Nobody

239
00:20:11.279 --> 00:20:15.440
picked up the phone. If I
told you, Hey, Ross, I

240
00:20:15.559 --> 00:20:18.440
tried to call you on Saturday,
you could through the use of technology,

241
00:20:18.440 --> 00:20:22.720
you would know whether I was telling
the truth or not. Right. I

242
00:20:22.920 --> 00:20:30.200
miss those days. Man, How
many times have you called somebody's house fifty

243
00:20:30.279 --> 00:20:32.839
times trying to get a hold of
them in and after, especially when you're

244
00:20:32.880 --> 00:20:36.279
younger. Oh maybe they're home now. Maybe they're home now. Maybe they're

245
00:20:36.319 --> 00:20:40.319
home now. We just don't do
it now matter. There's a disconnect to

246
00:20:40.480 --> 00:20:44.680
between like the different generations, like
the younger Zoomer generation. If they if

247
00:20:44.720 --> 00:20:47.400
somebody like if a zoomer sends you
to and not now all of them,

248
00:20:47.839 --> 00:20:52.599
but majority if a zoomer sends you
attacks because I've seen this actually play out

249
00:20:53.200 --> 00:20:56.400
from viewers on Twitch that are younger, where they'll just send me to a

250
00:20:56.599 --> 00:21:02.599
text and sometimes I don't feel replying
to the text, or sometimes I'm busy,

251
00:21:02.880 --> 00:21:04.200
or sometimes I'm just tired, and
I'm like, you know what,

252
00:21:04.880 --> 00:21:08.720
I will reply to this when I
want to. I'm not getting back to

253
00:21:08.799 --> 00:21:12.319
them now, and they can't comprehend
that. They're like, why are you

254
00:21:12.400 --> 00:21:17.279
not answering me right now? That
is rude. I demand I demand an

255
00:21:17.319 --> 00:21:21.480
answer. It's like, once upon
a time, you didn't have access to

256
00:21:21.559 --> 00:21:23.599
people twenty four to seven, right, And I was thinking about singing about

257
00:21:23.640 --> 00:21:26.759
my dad a few weeks ago because
he passed away on May fifth, And

258
00:21:26.839 --> 00:21:30.119
every I think about it, I
made a post about social media and a

259
00:21:30.240 --> 00:21:33.440
sing about my dad, and I
got jealous. I'm like man back in

260
00:21:33.519 --> 00:21:37.839
the day when he would get home
every day at like four o'clock. He

261
00:21:37.079 --> 00:21:41.759
was done with work. Right,
They couldn't contact him. He was done,

262
00:21:41.799 --> 00:21:44.480
the work day was done, and
you could focus on family. He

263
00:21:44.519 --> 00:21:47.759
could sit back in his recliner,
he could watch TV whatever you want to

264
00:21:47.799 --> 00:21:52.319
watch. He could talk to the
family. Now those days are over management

265
00:21:52.440 --> 00:21:56.720
and random people sending you text They
assume that they have total access to you

266
00:21:57.200 --> 00:22:00.960
twenty four to seven, and the
younger generation sort of demands it like they

267
00:22:00.960 --> 00:22:03.799
don't because they can't comprehend it.
They've never known a world where we're that

268
00:22:03.839 --> 00:22:07.119
we're talking about. They've never experienced. So for us, it's different.

269
00:22:07.240 --> 00:22:10.359
Like if you send me a text
and I don't get back to you,

270
00:22:10.759 --> 00:22:14.200
you're like, well, he's busy, Well he's doing something. He'll get

271
00:22:14.200 --> 00:22:18.279
back to me eventually. Maybe he
doesn't care, but like maybe answer right

272
00:22:18.680 --> 00:22:22.319
right, scure you buddy, you
know, but these not necessarily in that

273
00:22:22.359 --> 00:22:26.200
way. It's like, okay,
you you you've supplied the information, right,

274
00:22:26.319 --> 00:22:30.319
I have the information. We're done
right range over. Sometimes right,

275
00:22:30.359 --> 00:22:32.960
well yeah, sometimes there's no reaction, Like it'll be a meme and I'll

276
00:22:32.960 --> 00:22:34.599
look at the meme and I'll say
that's funny, and I'll move on with

277
00:22:34.720 --> 00:22:37.480
my day. I've seen it,
I've acknowledged it, but like you don't.

278
00:22:38.680 --> 00:22:42.200
You don't owe it to everybody to
apply to every text or every DM

279
00:22:42.319 --> 00:22:45.799
the second you get it. I
said, rassamme this morning before the show.

280
00:22:45.960 --> 00:22:49.160
Just something, just something I found
funny from a conversation. I had

281
00:22:49.279 --> 00:22:53.480
no expectation he'd write me back,
because it's just it is what it is.

282
00:22:53.559 --> 00:22:56.160
But you're not gonna look at it. You know, I'm gonna look

283
00:22:56.160 --> 00:22:59.039
at it. I'm gonna giggle a
little bit and it'll be great. That's

284
00:22:59.119 --> 00:23:00.920
it. That's the end of it. Before why I here write me back?

285
00:23:02.079 --> 00:23:03.240
Don't you see my tip? Because
of I wan too? May lea

286
00:23:03.319 --> 00:23:10.400
me alone, you narcissist. Uh
So, anyway, Cleopatra may not have

287
00:23:10.440 --> 00:23:15.720
been black, or may not have
been actually Hellenistic Greek or Macedonian Greek.

288
00:23:17.599 --> 00:23:21.319
Okay, not really, And in
fact, when you read the giant Washington

289
00:23:21.400 --> 00:23:27.920
Post article, you find out that
it's it's basically a word salad. Queen

290
00:23:27.960 --> 00:23:34.920
Cleopatra. The second installment in the
African Queen anthology arrives It's I guess Wednesday

291
00:23:34.960 --> 00:23:41.160
of this week on Netflix. And
despite the ongoing controversy over the docu drama's

292
00:23:41.200 --> 00:23:48.640
depiction of Egypt's last pharaoh, is
not about whether Cleopatra was black. Well,

293
00:23:48.839 --> 00:23:52.319
I understand that it's not about whether
Cleopatra was black, but if I

294
00:23:52.440 --> 00:24:00.119
was doing a Winston Churchill okay,
or a Malcolm xcu drama, right,

295
00:24:02.200 --> 00:24:10.759
and I cast characters that didn't look
anything like them, even though the story

296
00:24:10.880 --> 00:24:15.119
might be about how you know,
the the organization on Winston Churchill's part,

297
00:24:15.160 --> 00:24:23.160
of the boat lift out of Dunkirk, or his interactions with the British Parliament

298
00:24:25.079 --> 00:24:29.880
during World War Two, which you
know, several pretty high profile movies were

299
00:24:30.279 --> 00:24:37.200
or Malcolm X about his time and
eventually his demise, and even if I

300
00:24:37.319 --> 00:24:42.200
was speculating because we really don't know
about the motivations of the individuals who reportedly

301
00:24:42.319 --> 00:24:47.759
killed him, whether Lewis Farricam was
involved in these are all things I would

302
00:24:47.799 --> 00:24:52.039
expect that the person looks like Malcolm
X. And let's when you saw Denzel

303
00:24:52.119 --> 00:24:57.480
Washington as Malcolm X, do look
like Malcolm X. Gary Oldman as Winston

304
00:24:57.599 --> 00:25:04.400
Churchill, dude, look like Winston
Churchill? Or even Lee Harvey Oswald right,

305
00:25:04.880 --> 00:25:08.480
who was played by was it Chris
or Cross from Criss Cross? I

306
00:25:08.559 --> 00:25:11.119
can't remember? Right? Was that? Or am I thinking of a different

307
00:25:11.160 --> 00:25:17.200
movie? I'm done JFK. When
he played Lee Harvey, Gary Oldman played

308
00:25:17.240 --> 00:25:21.160
him, he looked just like him. Yeah, man, Gary Oldman is

309
00:25:21.240 --> 00:25:23.640
such a good act. He is
just all the different stuff. You know,

310
00:25:23.799 --> 00:25:27.480
Daniel Day Lewis, I think it's
even underestimated for just all the stuff

311
00:25:27.519 --> 00:25:33.640
he's been in. But man,
I was I was skimming through one of

312
00:25:33.680 --> 00:25:37.039
the streaming services this weekend, and
I'm like, like, Gary Oldman's in

313
00:25:37.119 --> 00:25:40.920
that. I don't remember what the
movie was, it was just one of

314
00:25:40.960 --> 00:25:42.240
those things. I'm like, oh
wow, Gary Oldman was in that too.

315
00:25:44.200 --> 00:25:48.599
Guys all over the place. So
no, it may not just be

316
00:25:48.759 --> 00:25:53.559
about the heritage of Cleopatra, but
it is about the story. And when

317
00:25:53.559 --> 00:25:59.920
you're irritating Egypt to the point where
they're going to make their own the whole

318
00:26:00.160 --> 00:26:03.279
thing just gets dumb. At that
point. The scenes, which are interspersed

319
00:26:03.319 --> 00:26:10.359
with commentary from experts, well,
now this sounds less drama and more documentary,

320
00:26:11.799 --> 00:26:19.000
and that's when you got to be
closer. Interspersed with commentary from experts

321
00:26:19.880 --> 00:26:26.359
such as Shelley Haley, a retired
professor of classics and Africana studies, and

322
00:26:26.480 --> 00:26:32.720
Deborah Heard, a PhD candidate in
Nubian archeology. The series details undisputed facts

323
00:26:32.720 --> 00:26:37.240
about Cleopatra, including you ready for
this, the Macedonian Greek descent of her

324
00:26:37.279 --> 00:26:42.079
father's line, Greek being her first
language, but also makes clear there's things

325
00:26:42.200 --> 00:26:47.960
we don't know, including the identity
of her mother and whether her dalliance was

326
00:26:48.079 --> 00:26:52.039
Caesar, the father of her firstborn
son, were romantic, strategic or both,

327
00:26:52.960 --> 00:26:57.079
or consequently her racial background. That's
fine. So if just in that

328
00:26:57.400 --> 00:27:00.839
sense going, you know, saying
we don't know the mother, then you

329
00:27:00.920 --> 00:27:07.119
need to look to representations, and
the representations of Cleopatra are quite clear.

330
00:27:07.720 --> 00:27:17.160
She stood out due to the fairness
of her appearance, right, So you

331
00:27:17.279 --> 00:27:22.440
couple all these together. But this
whole article is just about telling people that

332
00:27:22.519 --> 00:27:26.400
it's okay to run around and argue
she might have been. There's one line

333
00:27:26.440 --> 00:27:29.240
in here, and I'm sorry,
I can't read the whole thing to you,

334
00:27:29.319 --> 00:27:30.960
but they're just like, you know, Egypt was a gathering point for

335
00:27:32.200 --> 00:27:37.720
the modern North Africa as well as
parts of the Mediterranean, and so there's

336
00:27:37.720 --> 00:27:42.039
a possibility that she could have been
a Nubian or or you know, both

337
00:27:42.279 --> 00:27:48.079
both Greek or whatever. And it's
just about riding this water carry article.

338
00:27:48.200 --> 00:27:52.079
So they can sit there and say
that anyone who pointed out this might not

339
00:27:52.240 --> 00:27:57.359
be the case is some sort of
big fat racist. It's just sheer absurdity.

340
00:27:57.599 --> 00:28:00.440
But you know, modern journalists,
we're willing to pick it up.

341
00:28:03.799 --> 00:28:08.279
Given the Cleopatra represents herself as an
Egyptian, it seems very strange that we

342
00:28:08.400 --> 00:28:15.400
insist on depicting her as more European. We're talking about two different things.

343
00:28:15.839 --> 00:28:22.880
She may identify as Egyptian because she
ruled Egypt and spoke the language and practiced

344
00:28:22.920 --> 00:28:32.519
the religion, but that doesn't mean
that it changes her heritage. That's you

345
00:28:32.599 --> 00:28:38.599
know what argument that is. That's
the Rachel Dolazel argument. Is it not?

346
00:28:41.960 --> 00:28:47.359
That is transracial identity. That's the
absurdity of the Spokane INAACP president.

347
00:28:48.039 --> 00:28:52.480
Well, she styled her hair in
a black fashion, she was interested in

348
00:28:52.599 --> 00:29:00.400
black culture. She seemingly exclusively dated
only black men. Okay, but she's

349
00:29:00.400 --> 00:29:04.480
still that little girl in the picture
from Montana looking like, uh, you

350
00:29:04.559 --> 00:29:11.000
know, Pippi Longstocking. But they're
willing to do that, man, They're

351
00:29:11.000 --> 00:29:14.440
willing to write this whole article.
And then they point out that, you

352
00:29:14.480 --> 00:29:18.839
know, nobody had a problem during
um what was that other show that was

353
00:29:18.920 --> 00:29:25.839
basically just turned into a romantic thing
on Netflix? Ah, here we go.

354
00:29:29.400 --> 00:29:34.279
Sorry again, I'm trying to jump
around in this article. I don't

355
00:29:34.319 --> 00:29:36.920
have it here, and oh yeah, here we go, all right.

356
00:29:36.960 --> 00:29:41.039
The director noted that portrayals of Cleopatra
have flouted historical record. The series Rome

357
00:29:41.240 --> 00:29:45.960
portrayed one of the most intelligent,
sophisticated and powerful women in the world as

358
00:29:47.039 --> 00:29:51.400
a sleazy drug addict. Yet Egypt
didn't seem to mind. You know why,

359
00:29:51.559 --> 00:29:56.039
because it wasn't referring to itself as
a docu drama. It was soft

360
00:29:56.200 --> 00:30:02.079
porn like most of those HBO series
right there. They weren't putting. They

361
00:30:02.119 --> 00:30:07.359
weren't there to represent Cleopatra in that
fashion. Ross, are you sitting down?

362
00:30:07.920 --> 00:30:10.279
Hold on, Ross, I am
sitting down A back promised, and

363
00:30:10.319 --> 00:30:12.039
now I have to sit down.
Yes, okay, so you are fully

364
00:30:12.200 --> 00:30:17.440
and you're secured and there won't be
any issues. I'm strapped in all right.

365
00:30:17.559 --> 00:30:21.359
We got one of those racing harnesses. It's pretty amazing technology, but

366
00:30:21.599 --> 00:30:25.359
anything to keep Ross safe. All
right? You ready for this because I'm

367
00:30:25.359 --> 00:30:32.240
gonna drop a bomb. You're ready. Abraham Lincoln didn't hunt vampires. I

368
00:30:32.440 --> 00:30:38.799
don't believe it, but I've seen
it. I saw the show. Abraham

369
00:30:38.880 --> 00:30:47.160
Lincoln did not hunt and kill vampires, Nor did the people who run the

370
00:30:47.640 --> 00:30:51.160
Abraham Lincoln Presidential Museum have a beef
with it. You know why, because

371
00:30:51.240 --> 00:30:56.119
it was it was not meant to
be something to inform people of historical fact.

372
00:30:59.640 --> 00:31:02.480
That's why they didn't have a problem
with it because they realized that you

373
00:31:02.559 --> 00:31:06.880
were just making a skin flick for
all practical purposes. But here you're wanting

374
00:31:06.920 --> 00:31:11.839
to do something different. And that
is why people are pointing out that it's

375
00:31:12.000 --> 00:31:17.440
not as you say. So for
Washington Post write this giant article explaining how,

376
00:31:17.559 --> 00:31:19.880
no, you know, we don't
really, no, you do.

377
00:31:21.640 --> 00:31:23.960
It's different if they're just doing it
for like artistic vision, like like a

378
00:31:25.079 --> 00:31:29.240
Hamilton type thing, right right exactly. But if the dude, don't you

379
00:31:29.279 --> 00:31:32.519
know, if the guy that made
Hamilton came out and said this is based

380
00:31:32.559 --> 00:31:36.640
on historical fact and this is the
documentary, you'd be like, you're crazy,

381
00:31:36.680 --> 00:31:37.279
You're saying, what are you talking
about? And then they're like,

382
00:31:37.319 --> 00:31:41.160
ah, you're a racist if you
don't believe so. And how many movies

383
00:31:41.200 --> 00:31:44.960
have you seen where they announced something
and then all of a sudden, a

384
00:31:45.079 --> 00:31:51.640
bunch of racists or attacking people in
on social media? Right, we saw

385
00:31:51.680 --> 00:31:56.759
it, which with Star Wars,
what was the the Han solo one?

386
00:31:56.599 --> 00:32:00.440
Right, Oh, they're going after
this or any of these other instances and

387
00:32:00.559 --> 00:32:07.200
then it turns into a marketing strategy. The dumbest argument I saw on social

388
00:32:07.279 --> 00:32:12.799
media for the Cleopatra thing is there
like easy one percent serious where they say,

389
00:32:12.799 --> 00:32:15.720
oh, well, y'all are bigots
and dumb. You guys don't understand

390
00:32:15.759 --> 00:32:22.799
that Egypt is in Africa, so
obviously Cleopatra was black, right, yep,

391
00:32:24.440 --> 00:32:30.279
big dummies. Man. It's just
so bad and I can't decide whether

392
00:32:30.440 --> 00:32:36.200
it or this CNN article I have
talking about how great single parents and and

393
00:32:36.240 --> 00:32:38.240
don't get me wrong, it's not
talking about the strength of single parents or

394
00:32:38.319 --> 00:32:44.559
that people can rise up and and
and still parent and uh and no,

395
00:32:45.119 --> 00:32:49.000
no, no, no no.
This CNN article is in a way arguing

396
00:32:49.119 --> 00:32:52.640
that it's a preferred position. And
I don't even understand why they wrote it,

397
00:32:52.839 --> 00:32:55.039
But we'll get to that coming up
later in the show. We got

398
00:32:55.119 --> 00:32:59.920
lots to cover here on our Monday
right now though six fifty we'll be back

399
00:33:00.640 --> 00:33:06.960
one oh six one at them Talk
PTI, two stations driving the best in

400
00:33:07.119 --> 00:33:16.000
talk. This is Casey O Day
and Carolina's Morning News. All right,

401
00:33:16.000 --> 00:33:20.039
good morning, everybody's six to fifty
seven. Rosse was just tally who's going?

402
00:33:20.359 --> 00:33:23.599
Just tasted me off? Theory goes, how did uh how did the

403
00:33:23.880 --> 00:33:28.640
uh trumptown hall go? That's right, you missed that too, man,

404
00:33:30.079 --> 00:33:32.480
because you you would have seen either
it was the greatest thing ever or it

405
00:33:32.920 --> 00:33:37.440
uh for Trump, or it was
the worst thing ever. And I you

406
00:33:37.519 --> 00:33:40.519
know, I don't. I can't
get on the bandwagon of the worst thing

407
00:33:40.559 --> 00:33:45.920
ever people. But it was something
to behold. It was classic how we

408
00:33:45.000 --> 00:33:49.039
would go through this stuff where like
at one point he called the host a

409
00:33:49.200 --> 00:33:53.039
nasty person and then he congratulated her
on doing a good job at the end

410
00:33:53.880 --> 00:34:00.920
where it's like partially sarcastic, but
also there were tons of tons of catchphrases.

411
00:34:01.000 --> 00:34:06.319
They're now on our button bar.
Yeah, he used that term.

412
00:34:06.519 --> 00:34:07.800
Do you know what that refers to? By the way, not in the

413
00:34:07.880 --> 00:34:10.480
general sense, but what Trump was
using it, as I do know what

414
00:34:10.559 --> 00:34:19.840
that is is not not the technical
term I have experienced, Okay, but

415
00:34:20.039 --> 00:34:24.639
the reason Trump was using it,
I have no idea. Okay, Well,

416
00:34:24.679 --> 00:34:29.119
we'll touch on that real quickly.
On that, well, we'll not

417
00:34:29.360 --> 00:35:08.920
cut it's not a pun. All
right, Good morning everybody. It is

418
00:35:08.960 --> 00:35:15.039
seven h six year on the PCO
Day radio program, and it's welcome,

419
00:35:15.280 --> 00:35:23.079
Happy Monday. Hope the Mother's Day
went well. That was good for all

420
00:35:23.119 --> 00:35:28.519
your mothers out there, especially single
mothers. CNN, and he's got your

421
00:35:28.559 --> 00:35:31.159
back home. Explain why coming up? Have some thoughts on that as well.

422
00:35:32.719 --> 00:35:37.000
Jianna wrote a just a weird article, man, and they were close

423
00:35:37.079 --> 00:35:39.599
to writing one that I don't think
is a bad article. But then of

424
00:35:39.679 --> 00:35:44.320
course they just they had to do
what they had to do. And we'll

425
00:35:44.360 --> 00:35:49.800
explain here in just a little bit. Gavin Newsom, we got that story.

426
00:35:49.840 --> 00:35:53.880
We gotta get to and you know, when you decide you're gonna lean

427
00:35:53.960 --> 00:36:02.960
in and literally fulfill a meme,
probably not a good idea, but Levi's

428
00:36:04.519 --> 00:36:13.360
doesn't care, and they decided,
well, we're, um, we're basically

429
00:36:13.440 --> 00:36:17.119
gonna make SNL look like psychics.
So we'll get that story. Now,

430
00:36:17.559 --> 00:36:22.119
Ross's back. This week was gone
last week? You really didn't watch any

431
00:36:22.119 --> 00:36:24.639
of the Trumptown Hall Huh, I'm
jealous, man, not a second of

432
00:36:24.719 --> 00:36:29.800
it. Oh, I'm jealous,
jealous, jealous. Well, there was

433
00:36:29.840 --> 00:36:36.039
lots of stuff everyone's arguing. Of
course, CNN was getting lambasted for people

434
00:36:36.079 --> 00:36:38.480
on the left or by people on
the left because they gave Trump a free

435
00:36:38.679 --> 00:36:43.960
hour of prime time. Yeah kind
of, I mean, it's still CNN

436
00:36:44.039 --> 00:36:46.280
prime time. Although the ratings were
good for CNN compared to what they usually

437
00:36:46.360 --> 00:36:52.800
are, and it had all the
hallmarks of what you would come to expect

438
00:36:52.920 --> 00:36:59.239
from some of the previous stuff that
we've seen him involved in. And keep

439
00:36:59.280 --> 00:37:05.079
in mind you don't obviously it was
the day after the Gene Carrol jury decision

440
00:37:05.519 --> 00:37:07.039
where they say he didn't rape her, but he may have groped her,

441
00:37:07.199 --> 00:37:12.039
and he didn't libel her saying he
didn't rape her, or he did libel

442
00:37:12.079 --> 00:37:14.559
her saying he didn't rape her,
even though they didn't find that he raped

443
00:37:14.599 --> 00:37:19.239
her. And it was all civil, so it's preponderance, not you know,

444
00:37:19.440 --> 00:37:22.599
a criminal requirement. So the whole
thing was crazy, man. And

445
00:37:22.639 --> 00:37:28.960
of course it's it's under appeal,
and it's in New York, so you

446
00:37:29.000 --> 00:37:32.119
get a jury of potentially, you
know, eighty seven percent who didn't vote

447
00:37:32.159 --> 00:37:39.480
for the guy, probably hates the
dude. Just crazy. Remember this is

448
00:37:39.559 --> 00:37:43.559
the this is the accuser, This
is Gene Carrol. This was when she

449
00:37:43.679 --> 00:37:47.719
was on Anderson Cooper. Okay,
so I just Lawrence. I wish I

450
00:37:47.840 --> 00:37:53.519
had said, I wish I said
I'll tell you my age if you show

451
00:37:53.559 --> 00:37:58.360
me your tax returns. This is
that's when she was on their documentary What

452
00:37:58.480 --> 00:38:02.880
happened, because of course they breath
was we put her on right around the

453
00:38:02.920 --> 00:38:07.719
time her books coming out tell the
story, tell what happened. And at

454
00:38:07.800 --> 00:38:15.239
this point in Bergdorf Goodman's, which
is the greatest department well and at this

455
00:38:15.440 --> 00:38:21.639
point in Bergdorf Goodman's, which is
the greatest department store on the face,

456
00:38:21.920 --> 00:38:25.039
it's cozy, it's posh. They
take care of their customers beautifully. And

457
00:38:25.159 --> 00:38:29.480
we're going up. The store is
not very crowded. It is like six

458
00:38:29.719 --> 00:38:35.320
thirty seven in the evening, and
we go walk down to the lingerie department.

459
00:38:35.360 --> 00:38:40.360
There is nobody there. There's empty
and on the counter, which was

460
00:38:40.440 --> 00:38:45.840
to the left as you enter.
This is in nine nineteen ninety six,

461
00:38:45.840 --> 00:38:51.760
there were a couple of really fancy
lingerie boxes and there was this really beautiful

462
00:38:51.880 --> 00:38:59.480
filmy gray see through bodysuit, and
he snatched it up. He said,

463
00:38:59.519 --> 00:39:02.639
go put this on. It struck
me as one of the funniest things I've

464
00:39:02.639 --> 00:39:07.679
ever heard of. Man, say
you put it on? All right?

465
00:39:07.760 --> 00:39:10.159
So she getting kind of the gist
of it there, but she made some

466
00:39:10.280 --> 00:39:19.760
weird comments about sometimes rapist sexy and
all that she came across as strange to

467
00:39:19.880 --> 00:39:25.039
be polite looney tunes some may describe
her, but ultimately I guess, you

468
00:39:25.119 --> 00:39:30.400
know, it's not like she's just
some random person who's not used to being

469
00:39:30.480 --> 00:39:35.880
in the public spotlight. So anyway, that was that was the state of

470
00:39:35.920 --> 00:39:38.800
New York literally, and she was
part of those lobbying that had to carve

471
00:39:38.880 --> 00:39:45.039
out a new law to even allow
this lawsuit to take place. And then

472
00:39:45.639 --> 00:39:50.159
during the trial, the judge is
not allowing you know, a lot of

473
00:39:50.199 --> 00:39:52.960
stuff that the Trump defense wants in
there, but she can put on the

474
00:39:52.000 --> 00:39:58.119
Billy Bish audio and then bring in
two random other women who were connected to

475
00:39:58.199 --> 00:40:05.519
this to make allegations have neither been
prosecuted nor judicated, which seems to fly

476
00:40:05.639 --> 00:40:10.719
in the face of everything I learned
on law and order. So they get

477
00:40:10.760 --> 00:40:14.400
to that portion of the town hall
ross and this is what this is what

478
00:40:14.559 --> 00:40:17.000
she missed. Speaking of New York, I'm going to ask about a significant

479
00:40:17.079 --> 00:40:20.719
verdict that was reached yesterday. I
know this is something you want to weigh

480
00:40:20.760 --> 00:40:23.639
in on as well. Manhattan jury
found and you sexually abused the writer Egene

481
00:40:23.679 --> 00:40:27.920
Carroll and defamed her. You've denied
this, but what do you say to

482
00:40:28.039 --> 00:40:30.000
voters who say it just qualifies you
from being president. Well, there aren't

483
00:40:30.000 --> 00:40:32.239
too many of them, because my
poll numbers just came out. They went

484
00:40:32.360 --> 00:40:39.519
up. Okay, I think,
I think I'm I'm the only person in

485
00:40:39.639 --> 00:40:43.960
history who had a charge like that. And usually you leave office, you

486
00:40:44.039 --> 00:40:45.559
say I'm sorry, but I'm going
to back home. I'm back home to

487
00:40:45.719 --> 00:40:49.480
my family and everything. I'm going
to be resild. My poll numbers went

488
00:40:49.559 --> 00:40:52.400
up, and they went up with
the other fake charge too, because what's

489
00:40:52.440 --> 00:40:57.199
happening is they're doing this for election
interference. This woman, I don't know

490
00:40:57.400 --> 00:41:00.199
her, I never met her.
I have no idea who she is.

491
00:41:00.480 --> 00:41:02.639
I had a picture taken years ago
with her and her husband, nice guy,

492
00:41:02.719 --> 00:41:07.119
John Johnson. He was a newscaster, a very nice man. She

493
00:41:07.239 --> 00:41:09.639
called him an ape. Happens to
be Africa, African American called him an

494
00:41:09.679 --> 00:41:15.039
ape. The judge wouldn't allow us
to put that in. Her dog or

495
00:41:15.119 --> 00:41:17.800
her cat, was named Vagina.
The judge weren't allowed to put that in.

496
00:41:20.840 --> 00:41:22.519
He says it just like he says
China, right, So it's pretty

497
00:41:22.599 --> 00:41:25.559
much what I would expect. Yeah, yeah, I went out Vagina.

498
00:41:27.079 --> 00:41:29.920
So I was reading and they were
saying, like AOC was freaking out because

499
00:41:29.920 --> 00:41:34.239
she's like, oh my god,
this is a horrible thing for CNN because

500
00:41:34.239 --> 00:41:37.960
the crowd is for Trump and they're
cheered Trump and they're laughing at joke something.

501
00:41:37.320 --> 00:41:40.440
But it was a Republican town hall, right, So it was the

502
00:41:40.519 --> 00:41:45.559
Republicans in the crowd, right,
it was so it was either Republicans or

503
00:41:45.679 --> 00:41:50.360
unaffiliated. So yes, yeah,
and some moonbat got mad at me on

504
00:41:50.440 --> 00:41:52.679
Twitter. He's like, ah,
you didn't tell everyone. I'm like,

505
00:41:52.719 --> 00:41:54.679
I literally said it when we said, well, apparently, I am shocked.

506
00:41:54.800 --> 00:41:59.880
She doesn't understand how primary town halls
work. No, she does.

507
00:42:00.519 --> 00:42:02.719
No, she does not, although
she did well the last time she went

508
00:42:02.760 --> 00:42:07.639
to one, though she got accosted
by her own peeps, so because she

509
00:42:07.840 --> 00:42:10.400
wasn't as moonbatty as they wanted her
to be. So maybe she's just traumatized

510
00:42:10.440 --> 00:42:14.280
and blocking it out. By the
way, that's not the cat's full name.

511
00:42:14.320 --> 00:42:15.199
Do you want to know what the
cat's full name is? I look

512
00:42:15.280 --> 00:42:17.360
this up. But the reason we
know she wrote it in her book.

513
00:42:17.400 --> 00:42:22.159
That's only half the name. That's
only half the name. It is idiots

514
00:42:22.239 --> 00:42:30.199
Vagina t fireball Man, you're at
the vet and that they come out and

515
00:42:30.280 --> 00:42:38.400
say the cat's name or whatever.
Yeah, we put your vagina down vagina

516
00:42:38.480 --> 00:42:44.880
has fleas. Yeah, absolutely,
well, but that's un unusual. I

517
00:42:44.880 --> 00:42:46.639
don't own any cats. I didn't
realize how you guys name them because it's

518
00:42:46.679 --> 00:42:51.760
what OLIVERR D sports car. Right, isn't that the cat's name, Oliver

519
00:42:51.880 --> 00:42:57.800
D sports car? Or is that
not accurate? I'm not sure how do

520
00:42:57.880 --> 00:43:04.039
you name a cat that? I
guess maybe because the cat never knows that

521
00:43:04.159 --> 00:43:07.320
it's it's it's name, So I
don't know, man, But yep,

522
00:43:08.079 --> 00:43:15.679
that was Um, that's the cat's
full name. Uh female lady part refer

523
00:43:15.880 --> 00:43:23.880
lady part reference and uh sorority girls
shots. Okay, all right, so

524
00:43:24.000 --> 00:43:30.639
there, now you're up to speed. Now you're caught up on all of

525
00:43:30.760 --> 00:43:35.840
that. Uh let's see here.
Well, let me do this seven fifteen

526
00:43:35.920 --> 00:43:38.039
and then we come back. I'll
get that CNN story. Also, a

527
00:43:38.159 --> 00:43:50.679
herd of cows up in Boone are
snitches, and um, I'm just saying

528
00:43:52.000 --> 00:43:55.519
they might get dealt with. We
don't know, but what we're talking County

529
00:43:55.559 --> 00:44:05.480
Sheriff's office used to help nab a
suspect who had literally taken into the woods

530
00:44:05.559 --> 00:44:07.880
to get away out of a funny
story there. All that and more coming

531
00:44:07.960 --> 00:44:17.400
up here on the case O Day
Radio program, Your Day Smarter and celebrating

532
00:44:17.480 --> 00:44:22.199
ten years and keeping You Better Informed
one oh six one FM Talk and News

533
00:44:22.280 --> 00:44:30.679
Talk nine four five w PTI more
with Casey starts now, Hey, everybody

534
00:44:30.760 --> 00:44:34.440
want to hear something that's going to
really, really, really really irritate you

535
00:44:34.559 --> 00:44:37.960
this morning. You know, they
say that in a derogatory manner. They

536
00:44:37.000 --> 00:44:39.400
say, well, you're right wing. Talk radio is nothing, but just

537
00:44:39.599 --> 00:44:45.639
you know, people find it stuff
to be mad about. Meanwhile, the

538
00:44:46.280 --> 00:44:51.199
twenty four hour news cycle CNN,
MSNBC, especially during Trump, I mean,

539
00:44:51.320 --> 00:44:55.360
holy crap, man. But sometimes
sometimes you're just talking about what's in

540
00:44:55.440 --> 00:45:00.840
the news and it irritates people because
it ain't right. Case in point,

541
00:45:00.960 --> 00:45:05.920
I know they're trying to downplay what
the whatever thing looked like over the weekend.

542
00:45:05.960 --> 00:45:07.960
I think ma Yorkis came out and
he's like, oh, no,

543
00:45:07.239 --> 00:45:13.320
we only had half the apprehensions we
normally do. Well, that doesn't tell

544
00:45:13.360 --> 00:45:17.239
me how many people were trying to
cross the border or anything like. You

545
00:45:17.320 --> 00:45:21.480
could have zero. You could say
we had zero apprehensions. If you decide

546
00:45:21.480 --> 00:45:28.039
you're not going to apprehend anybody I
need some context, and context at least

547
00:45:28.400 --> 00:45:36.239
some was provided in various videos that
got posted over the weekend where you saw

548
00:45:36.400 --> 00:45:40.280
people large scale trying to cut through
areas in the Texas National Guard literally putting

549
00:45:40.360 --> 00:45:47.039
up razor wire. You saw folks
who had crossed over one the old border

550
00:45:47.159 --> 00:45:52.920
fence and were staged on the outside
of the new border fence. You saw

551
00:45:52.079 --> 00:45:58.559
individuals that once they got across the
border literally disposed of and in some cases

552
00:45:58.719 --> 00:46:08.400
burn any idea stuff because they understand
fundamentally the rules and the rules are at

553
00:46:08.480 --> 00:46:14.280
with the with Title forty two out
and going back to what the administration's using

554
00:46:14.360 --> 00:46:17.000
now, there is a five year
penalty if you're apprehended on the other side

555
00:46:17.039 --> 00:46:22.320
of the border, which could preclude
you from even trying to claim any sort

556
00:46:22.480 --> 00:46:30.119
of uh, you know, reasonable
fear that allows you to enter the country

557
00:46:32.039 --> 00:46:37.880
because you have these these NGOs,
these uh, these charities which are political

558
00:46:37.960 --> 00:46:40.960
action committees in their own right that
are over there and are you know,

559
00:46:42.159 --> 00:46:45.559
giving scripts and and and and talking
this through. CNN was doing an interview

560
00:46:45.599 --> 00:46:51.280
with one guy and he was talking
about how he calculated when he was going

561
00:46:51.320 --> 00:46:55.599
to come in, and the CNN
guy kind of stops the interview and boil

562
00:46:55.679 --> 00:47:01.199
boy, do you see a lot
of military age mail there rather than the

563
00:47:01.280 --> 00:47:07.400
family units which are supposed to be
quote unquote prioritized, pretty crazy, or

564
00:47:08.000 --> 00:47:13.880
the the grab bags. There was
video Ross retweet that video I sent you

565
00:47:13.960 --> 00:47:17.800
would you we'll retweet it on Casey
on the radio. And it's basically it's

566
00:47:17.840 --> 00:47:22.519
a bunch of folks lining up,
a bunch of twenty something year old mails,

567
00:47:22.559 --> 00:47:27.079
lining up and being provided, among
other things, their own phone.

568
00:47:27.360 --> 00:47:30.880
In fact, I'm reminded of Obama
phone. You know what, Actually,

569
00:47:30.880 --> 00:47:34.519
if we're gonna do this story,
because I never get a chance to play

570
00:47:34.559 --> 00:47:37.079
this anymore, let's just why don't
we Why don't we use our Obama phone,

571
00:47:37.079 --> 00:47:39.480
which I'm not have to now do
a Biden phone, although it could

572
00:47:39.480 --> 00:47:47.079
be difficult. They're they're just lining
up, getting that there's a whole,

573
00:47:47.480 --> 00:47:52.079
a whole little welcome welcome kit,
and some reporters were over talking to them.

574
00:47:52.119 --> 00:47:55.760
And wait till you hear how the
court date stuff works. But first

575
00:47:59.280 --> 00:48:05.000
I wanted everybody in Cleveland loh minority
got Obama fall. Hit Obama a president,

576
00:48:05.159 --> 00:48:07.440
you know, he gave us a
fall. You signed up and drink

577
00:48:07.559 --> 00:48:12.960
your full snaps. You are so
security you got low inn to gets a

578
00:48:13.039 --> 00:48:15.519
billet? Does she work for her
perks or do they come from me?

579
00:48:16.280 --> 00:48:22.519
A wellfair angel too, but rock
presidency. You know I saw her on

580
00:48:22.760 --> 00:48:27.480
you too, thought it was a
disgrace. But you're in the English language

581
00:48:27.960 --> 00:48:31.239
trying to make her case. You
know nothing about world affairs, on the

582
00:48:31.480 --> 00:48:37.079
economy. But she's eternally grateful.
She got her cell phone for free law.

583
00:48:37.280 --> 00:48:42.360
She goes to the post, it
looks as if her votes been sold.

584
00:48:42.559 --> 00:48:45.719
She's got it Obama phone. She's
got that Obama fa. When she

585
00:48:45.800 --> 00:48:51.000
goes to the post, it looks
as if her votes been sold. Oh

586
00:48:51.079 --> 00:48:54.760
my nity, got Obama fat.
She's got it Obama fall. It's okay,

587
00:48:55.000 --> 00:48:59.920
I understand, it's easy. Just
hold out your hand. He say

588
00:49:00.159 --> 00:49:05.760
you're out of luck. According to
her Romie's side, keep my woman president.

589
00:49:05.920 --> 00:49:08.679
You know he gave us a fall. When she goes to the post,

590
00:49:08.880 --> 00:49:12.840
you know, it looks as if
her vote has been sold. She's

591
00:49:12.880 --> 00:49:16.400
got in Obama phone, she's got
Obama fall. When she goes to the

592
00:49:16.639 --> 00:49:20.800
post, you know, it looks
as if her vote has been sold.

593
00:49:20.960 --> 00:49:25.920
Oh my naughty got Obama fa.
She's got in Obama boon no Obama phone.

594
00:49:27.000 --> 00:49:30.239
Yes, everybody in Cleveland. Oh
my naughty got o mama fall my

595
00:49:30.440 --> 00:49:35.760
woman. President. You know he
gave us a fall? My lord?

596
00:49:35.840 --> 00:49:38.800
How he give you a vote if
you sign up during your full steps will

597
00:49:38.920 --> 00:49:45.360
so security? You got low womb
your dissability? Okay, what's wrong to

598
00:49:45.440 --> 00:49:54.159
Robbie again? Romie? He sucks? You know? There you go.

599
00:49:54.719 --> 00:49:59.280
Yeah, so yeah, that's the
thing that's happening. But the question is

600
00:49:59.320 --> 00:50:04.039
where they head well with paperwork in
hand that shows court dates, I'm not

601
00:50:04.199 --> 00:50:08.639
making this up. In twenty twenty
seven and twenty twenty eight, in some

602
00:50:08.920 --> 00:50:16.519
cases they were allowed into the interior
of the United States and from there obviously

603
00:50:16.639 --> 00:50:22.239
Texas, Arizona. Others were bust
too various other areas, including New York

604
00:50:23.480 --> 00:50:28.639
and in some cases the Vice President's
lawn. Again, I think Abbott moved

605
00:50:28.679 --> 00:50:30.920
some up there. But in New
York this is where the controversy arose.

606
00:50:31.840 --> 00:50:37.119
So in Newburgh, New York,
which is described as upstates. So that's

607
00:50:37.159 --> 00:50:40.639
what anywhere that's not New York City
or Western New York right from a New

608
00:50:40.719 --> 00:50:45.760
York perspective, upstate New York,
I don't know exactly where Newburgh is.

609
00:50:45.679 --> 00:50:52.840
However, the controversy surrounding what's going
on, and it's at several places,

610
00:50:52.960 --> 00:50:59.280
but the articles about the Crossroads Hotel
is going to chat you a bit.

611
00:51:01.280 --> 00:51:06.320
Also there's a Hampton and sweets of
Super eight and others involved. All right,

612
00:51:06.400 --> 00:51:10.199
So what happened and has people crying
foul? Well, we'll tell you

613
00:51:12.360 --> 00:51:21.239
coming up next here on the Cacoda
Radio program, Hanging celebrating ten years of

614
00:51:21.480 --> 00:51:25.880
keeping you connected. This is ninety
four five WPTI in the Triad and one

615
00:51:25.960 --> 00:51:36.280
oh six one FM Talk in the
Triangle. All right, seven thirty five,

616
00:51:36.360 --> 00:51:38.719
Welcome back, casey Oda Radio program. Now let's get into this story

617
00:51:38.920 --> 00:51:43.679
here, uh, about what happened
when a group of my well, there's

618
00:51:43.679 --> 00:51:50.000
two stories, one in Chicago who
voted ninety eight percent in this in Chicago

619
00:51:50.079 --> 00:51:55.800
proper or something ninety seven percent for
Biden migrants being sent to Chicago. We're

620
00:51:57.039 --> 00:52:04.760
part of a protest that took place
over the weekend, Chicago residents banning together

621
00:52:05.039 --> 00:52:08.239
and they're very much opposed to this. They're very upset. I believe the

622
00:52:08.320 --> 00:52:15.599
number was four hundred and fifty in
Chicago, the third largest city or second

623
00:52:15.960 --> 00:52:20.920
second or third largest city. I
guess when Chicago land total is well,

624
00:52:22.480 --> 00:52:25.840
I guess it's an individual city thing
to Chicago second from an individual city,

625
00:52:25.920 --> 00:52:30.719
but in an area wise they're third, all right, just because I don't

626
00:52:30.760 --> 00:52:37.320
need people's sentiments, do well,
tact lay it's this four and fifty people.

627
00:52:37.760 --> 00:52:43.000
Is it's a plane. It's a
planeload of people. Okay, big

628
00:52:43.079 --> 00:52:46.920
plane, but one plane in New
York. They spread them out, including

629
00:52:47.239 --> 00:52:57.239
New York Mayor Eric Adams, wanting
to alleviate pressure. So what they've done

630
00:52:57.440 --> 00:53:02.440
is the city has contracted various hotels
not in New York City, but they

631
00:53:02.480 --> 00:53:06.440
had to find hotels that were willing
to do this. And on one of

632
00:53:06.480 --> 00:53:13.159
the hotels that they approached is a
hotel that currently works with a a foundation

633
00:53:13.280 --> 00:53:17.960
known as the Euroche Israel Tony Foundation, and that is a organization that works

634
00:53:19.000 --> 00:53:24.920
with homeless veterans and part of what
they do is they provide housing in addition

635
00:53:24.960 --> 00:53:30.079
to counseling, work training, addiction
services, those kinds of things. And

636
00:53:31.000 --> 00:53:36.719
they had contracted three hotels in Newburgh, New York, which is in the

637
00:53:36.800 --> 00:53:42.840
Hudson Valley. They were paying those
hotels eighty eight dollars a night for each

638
00:53:42.920 --> 00:53:45.360
room or for each veteran. I
maybe they're doubled up. I'm not sure.

639
00:53:47.599 --> 00:53:51.880
So City of New York is trying
to do what they're trying to do.

640
00:53:52.079 --> 00:53:54.719
They get a list of hotels that
are willing to do these deals,

641
00:53:55.800 --> 00:54:01.159
and the City of New York came
in and off for these hotels two hundred

642
00:54:01.199 --> 00:54:10.239
dollars a night. And what do
you think the hotels did? Yeah,

643
00:54:10.920 --> 00:54:15.280
I mean that seems a bit shortsighted
if you've been working with this organization,

644
00:54:15.400 --> 00:54:17.760
but you know it's more than double. City in New York knew what was

645
00:54:17.840 --> 00:54:23.199
up because initially they had offered lower
and then they upped it to two hundred,

646
00:54:23.199 --> 00:54:27.840
at which point they decided, yeah, we'll go ahead and do that.

647
00:54:28.599 --> 00:54:32.039
So as a result, the homeless
veterans, the majority of which we're

648
00:54:32.079 --> 00:54:39.519
living in the Crossroads Hotel, although
some were also in Jason Hampton Inn and

649
00:54:40.280 --> 00:54:49.960
a holiday in we're told last week
they're out, and the organization then had

650
00:54:50.000 --> 00:54:52.840
to scramble to figure out where they're
going to put them. So they literally

651
00:54:53.719 --> 00:55:00.559
kicked homeless veterans out of housing to
fill it with migrants who were coming to

652
00:55:00.679 --> 00:55:04.719
New York that they didn't want in
New York, so they sent them to

653
00:55:04.880 --> 00:55:13.559
other cities in the state of New
York. Just bonkers, man. Yeah,

654
00:55:13.719 --> 00:55:16.239
people are mad at the hotel's fine, but the hotels are also being

655
00:55:16.320 --> 00:55:21.400
offered double I'm not justifying it,
but I'm explaining what the reasoning was.

656
00:55:21.480 --> 00:55:24.000
And it sounded like New York was
willing to foot that bill, which is

657
00:55:24.039 --> 00:55:30.360
why the number kept going up.
Plus there is if you are a licensed

658
00:55:30.480 --> 00:55:35.719
establishment in New York and your scene
is not playing ball with Democratic politicians there,

659
00:55:35.800 --> 00:55:38.239
I have a strong suspicion there's other
ways they could make your life miserable.

660
00:55:43.639 --> 00:55:45.480
And they didn't waste any time revealing
that the vets had at least two

661
00:55:45.519 --> 00:55:49.519
weeks left on their stay, because
there's a certain period of time where they'll

662
00:55:49.559 --> 00:55:53.960
put these guys up. They were
they were ejected a full week ahead of

663
00:55:54.159 --> 00:56:02.960
schedule. Thus far, some twenty
veterans at Crossroads Hotel, five, others

664
00:56:04.000 --> 00:56:07.400
at Super eight, seven others at
Hampton in and suites. And that's just

665
00:56:07.599 --> 00:56:09.760
one area. That's just the one
area the story's talking about. They say

666
00:56:09.800 --> 00:56:17.000
that this organization and other organizations also
struck deals throughout the Hudson Valley and the

667
00:56:17.119 --> 00:56:23.639
Upstate New York area to house everything
from homeless veterans to individuals who were part

668
00:56:23.719 --> 00:56:32.519
of domestic abuse situations, you name
it. Yeah, yeah, that's irritated

669
00:56:32.639 --> 00:56:37.400
some folks, and frankly, rightfully
so. But man can't have them in

670
00:56:37.400 --> 00:56:40.400
New York City, God forbid.
There was another hotel I saw a story

671
00:56:40.480 --> 00:56:47.760
of that canceled a wedding because the
hotel struck a deal to house and this

672
00:56:47.960 --> 00:56:52.800
is upstate New York, I can't
remember where, and they canceled a whole

673
00:56:52.840 --> 00:56:57.679
wedding that was the hotel had been
booked out, obviously, the ballroom,

674
00:56:57.719 --> 00:57:01.519
everything in there, and New York
came in contracted the thing and they told

675
00:57:01.599 --> 00:57:05.360
the folks for the wedding, Yeah, I know, you have a reservation

676
00:57:05.559 --> 00:57:07.679
and everyone's booked rooms and it's happening
here in a couple of months. But

677
00:57:08.159 --> 00:57:17.280
no, you're out. Here's a
deposit back. So obviously those folks were

678
00:57:17.320 --> 00:57:21.079
mad. But I think when you
get into the homeless vet situation, holy

679
00:57:21.159 --> 00:57:28.280
crap. Oh wait, Boston,
Paul's waiting in here on something. Today's

680
00:57:28.320 --> 00:57:30.760
Peace Officers Memorial Day and it's National
Police Week. I did know that,

681
00:57:30.880 --> 00:57:36.320
you know how I knew that Boston
Paul One. I watched Black Mass over

682
00:57:36.360 --> 00:57:38.800
the weekend. Didn't see you in
there anywhere. You're seeing that movie Ross

683
00:57:38.880 --> 00:57:43.440
Black Mass? H yeah, with
Johnny devit's brutal, Yeah, yeah,

684
00:57:43.480 --> 00:57:45.039
yeah. Did you see Bob.
I didn't see Boston Paul anywhere unless he's

685
00:57:45.079 --> 00:57:50.840
that cop who's sending the message on
the part of the mob too, Whitey

686
00:57:50.920 --> 00:57:52.159
Boulger. I mean he did take
down Boulger. He's in and went in

687
00:57:52.199 --> 00:57:54.960
his protection. So I mean they
changed his name. You think Boston Paul's

688
00:57:55.000 --> 00:58:00.280
his real name. Well, no, Boston Boston is just a it's a

689
00:58:00.639 --> 00:58:07.320
it's just a nickname obviously. So
it's a leper coun i according to his

690
00:58:07.440 --> 00:58:15.119
email here. So I didn't see
him in the movie. I'm just saying

691
00:58:15.239 --> 00:58:19.000
he got left out or so you're
saying it's a witness protection whatever the safety

692
00:58:19.039 --> 00:58:20.519
thing. Man. Then I got
to put him in there. Come on,

693
00:58:21.000 --> 00:58:27.719
we Whitey Boulger's dead now, man, So living on the streets of

694
00:58:27.760 --> 00:58:31.519
Santa Monica not no more? It
is. And I think what's good or

695
00:58:31.559 --> 00:58:36.440
what's good about that movie too,
is you. I think a lot of

696
00:58:36.440 --> 00:58:39.519
people don't understand what was it?
Connelly, the FBI agent everything that went

697
00:58:39.599 --> 00:58:45.039
down there, And I think they
did a good job of explaining that because

698
00:58:45.079 --> 00:58:49.880
a lot of times it was just
ah, he was just he just he

699
00:58:50.039 --> 00:58:52.079
was corrupt from the moment he went
in. But in reality, yeah,

700
00:58:52.239 --> 00:58:57.039
he was corrupt. But he was
corrupt one out of some sense of loyalty,

701
00:58:57.079 --> 00:59:00.880
but two because he saw his career
advancement not about in riching himself with

702
00:59:00.039 --> 00:59:05.239
millions of dollars. And it shows
you how Bulger kind of played this dude.

703
00:59:06.880 --> 00:59:08.239
The only sad thing is I think
they should have done more on the

704
00:59:08.360 --> 00:59:15.840
Bulger lottery story because that is a
fascinating component of Whitey Bulger about winning fourteen

705
00:59:15.880 --> 00:59:20.360
million dollars in the lottery and said
it's not how it went down. I

706
00:59:20.400 --> 00:59:22.920
would encourage people to look it up
if they care. So anyway, saw

707
00:59:22.960 --> 00:59:27.079
the black mass over the weekend,
But yes, I knew it was Peace

708
00:59:27.159 --> 00:59:34.800
Officer Peace Officers Memorial Day and National
Police Week because I had to read over

709
00:59:34.880 --> 00:59:40.480
the weekend. How WRL every Officer's
friend, strong, strong proponent of law

710
00:59:40.559 --> 00:59:47.079
enforcement turned the News tower lights to
blue in honor of National Police Week.

711
00:59:52.320 --> 00:59:58.079
WRL joining a number of other Raleigh
locations and shining blue lights to subalute police

712
00:59:58.119 --> 01:00:00.679
officers to keep an eye off for
other blue buildings and lights glowing in the

713
01:00:00.760 --> 01:00:06.440
downtown skyline, including PNC Tower,
the Dylan, Wells Fargo, and wake

714
01:00:06.559 --> 01:00:10.760
Med even the village district. Excuse
me, Cameron Village. I mean yes,

715
01:00:12.119 --> 01:00:15.400
Midtown Park, Park Central and three
or one Hillsborough are joining the blue

716
01:00:15.480 --> 01:00:22.519
salute. I love it, man, just so like going through the motions

717
01:00:24.880 --> 01:00:28.719
big fans of law enforcement, every
one of them. Well, I can't

718
01:00:28.719 --> 01:00:31.679
speak to Wells Fargo from a corporate
standpoint, although I do think it is

719
01:00:31.760 --> 01:00:38.000
interesting that many of these are large
scale apartment complexes that are mostly mostly in

720
01:00:38.119 --> 01:00:43.920
deep dark blue districts within the city
of Raleigh, so largely populated by primarily

721
01:00:44.960 --> 01:00:47.840
left leaning voters. So some people
might make assumptions. I'm not. I

722
01:00:47.880 --> 01:00:51.559
think you could be a left leaning
voter and still be a police supporter.

723
01:00:51.679 --> 01:00:55.440
But actions speak louder, and so
when I see w r L lightening up

724
01:00:55.480 --> 01:01:04.639
their towers, I chuckle, So
we got you, hey, Remember when

725
01:01:04.719 --> 01:01:07.639
we were the ones who were sitting
there and um trying to defend police officers

726
01:01:07.760 --> 01:01:12.360
or in this case, sheriff's deputies
who literally had their careers stripped away from

727
01:01:12.440 --> 01:01:16.800
him because some moonbat you voted for
for sheriff has an ego a mile wide

728
01:01:16.880 --> 01:01:22.480
and didn't feel that he was getting
enough play even though one of his officers

729
01:01:22.639 --> 01:01:28.360
was dead. And uh, we're
willing to do the heavy lifting here.

730
01:01:30.960 --> 01:01:37.840
So Ross turned the tower blue.
Ross gonna work painted myself blue. He

731
01:01:38.039 --> 01:01:44.760
is all blue. He looks like
a crazy uh seven forty five race agick

732
01:01:44.800 --> 01:01:51.679
from the Weather Channel Boys Cowboys blue. He's painted up too, all right.

733
01:01:51.760 --> 01:01:52.880
You see the schedule. We don't
get to play you losers, so

734
01:01:53.480 --> 01:01:57.400
sad, No, that's okay,
yep, yep, yep, if you

735
01:01:57.480 --> 01:02:00.119
don't play the Eagles though week two. I'm not looking forward to that,

736
01:02:00.880 --> 01:02:04.800
know who. I don't think anybody
is looking forward to playing the Eagles this

737
01:02:04.960 --> 01:02:09.519
year because, um, they certainly
didn't get any worse with their draft defense.

738
01:02:09.800 --> 01:02:14.400
No, they did not. You
guys should have grabbed that first round

739
01:02:14.480 --> 01:02:16.760
tight end or something that'd be scure
to you. But yeah, but you

740
01:02:16.840 --> 01:02:20.760
know somebody had to slip in there
and jump us on the pick and took

741
01:02:20.800 --> 01:02:23.800
our guy. But well that's another
sta. Just remember what Bill stands for,

742
01:02:24.079 --> 01:02:27.960
boy, I love losing Super Bowls. Just in case you forget.

743
01:02:28.039 --> 01:02:34.199
Oh wow, yeah, so there
take that's a boomer comment found on Rogue

744
01:02:34.280 --> 01:02:39.000
Dead. I'm a ha, no, no, yeah, that's the best

745
01:02:39.039 --> 01:02:43.239
I could do on a Monday weatherwise. Over Are you good on the schedule

746
01:02:43.280 --> 01:02:47.800
though? I just yeah, I
mean okay, yeah, Giants opening night.

747
01:02:49.039 --> 01:02:52.360
That's a tough division. Man,
It's okay. It's a tough division.

748
01:02:52.519 --> 01:02:57.920
Commanders will be better Eagles Giants.
I don't know. Daniel Jones not

749
01:02:59.519 --> 01:03:02.320
not convinced, not convinced that he's
going to be the answer to New York

750
01:03:02.440 --> 01:03:07.239
or we're what they're paying him.
And write this down. He shredded us.

751
01:03:07.480 --> 01:03:10.159
Yeah, I know, write this
down. The Jets will not win

752
01:03:10.280 --> 01:03:14.360
ten games? Okay, write it
down. Is there somebody who thinks they

753
01:03:14.400 --> 01:03:17.960
will? Yeah, everybody's got him
going to the super Bowl. You see,

754
01:03:19.000 --> 01:03:22.679
somebody's fine. They got Sauce.
Gardner's very good player. They've got

755
01:03:22.760 --> 01:03:24.480
some other weapons. I got it. But still they got a jive And

756
01:03:25.119 --> 01:03:30.599
what he means did you say,
did you say Aaron Rodgers fine? Or

757
01:03:30.840 --> 01:03:35.039
Aaron Rodgers fine? You got Aaron
Rodgers. I think Rodgers is done.

758
01:03:35.239 --> 01:03:37.559
I think he's washed up. No, I said, fine, you have

759
01:03:37.719 --> 01:03:43.360
Aaron Rodgers right, Okay, that's
what you're hanging your hat on. Even

760
01:03:43.440 --> 01:03:45.280
if I don't even know. I
don't even know that he's done done.

761
01:03:45.320 --> 01:03:49.880
But the problem is is he had
trouble molding and gelling with new guys coming

762
01:03:49.920 --> 01:03:53.800
in last year in paying green Bay. Now it's everybody's new. Yeah,

763
01:03:53.840 --> 01:03:57.840
but he was he was scrolling.
I mean, he was really messing.

764
01:03:57.920 --> 01:04:00.159
I think he was messing with Green
Bay and it wasn't fair to anybody Ross's

765
01:04:00.239 --> 01:04:04.360
series because he did a hallucinogenic stuff. I'm telling you, man, it

766
01:04:04.519 --> 01:04:08.800
changes your mind. I'm not mess
I'm not playing like you do that stuff

767
01:04:08.840 --> 01:04:12.840
and you see the clouds turn into
angels and you're playing you I'm all the

768
01:04:12.920 --> 01:04:15.480
Beatles at once and you're weird and
you're playing it. Come on, it

769
01:04:15.679 --> 01:04:17.679
changes you. It is. He
doesn't have that competitive drive anymore. I

770
01:04:17.679 --> 01:04:20.519
don't believe he does. No,
I don't think so either. So,

771
01:04:21.440 --> 01:04:24.800
as I said, maybe you didn't
hear it here first, I don't think

772
01:04:24.800 --> 01:04:28.639
they'll win ten games, all right, Yeah, so get to it.

773
01:04:29.039 --> 01:04:31.480
Yeah, yeah, yeah, here's
what we're here for. Actually, is

774
01:04:31.760 --> 01:04:35.559
most of us dry today, A
load of mid sixties. There maybe some

775
01:04:35.639 --> 01:04:39.280
spotty showers that's about it. Then
the rain chances go up a little,

776
01:04:39.280 --> 01:04:42.880
soil temperatures tomorrow, a few scattered
showers, thutter showers, load of mid

777
01:04:42.960 --> 01:04:45.280
eighties. Believe it or not.
We are going to get a front to

778
01:04:45.360 --> 01:04:47.920
come through here midweek and that's going
to bring showers and butter showers tomorrow to

779
01:04:48.039 --> 01:04:51.840
Wednesday, and by Thursday and Friday, very pleasant air mass, lower humidity,

780
01:04:53.239 --> 01:04:57.199
mid seventies for highs. Lows near
fifty degrees with some forties around.

781
01:04:57.239 --> 01:05:00.440
So a little cool downcoming with some
beautiful weather towards the out of part of

782
01:05:00.440 --> 01:05:02.840
the week. Kind of iffy between
now and then, but starting about Thursday,

783
01:05:02.920 --> 01:05:05.719
I'm gonna look real nice around here. Feel good too, cool,

784
01:05:05.800 --> 01:05:09.360
cool, all right, appreciate it, my man. We'll talk in an

785
01:05:09.400 --> 01:05:12.960
hour. Thank you, all right, seven forty nine, we'll come back.

786
01:05:13.119 --> 01:05:15.639
Got that CNN story for you a
little on the Daniel Penny. I

787
01:05:15.719 --> 01:05:20.119
guess there is a witness that has
come forward and I just want to help

788
01:05:20.119 --> 01:05:23.800
any of you pervs out if you're
going to the pool this week with some

789
01:05:23.920 --> 01:05:28.159
of that nice weather. I'll explain
coming up. Hang on the show.

790
01:05:28.360 --> 01:05:32.400
After the show is on the iHeartRadio
app Search case O Day for the podcast

791
01:05:32.639 --> 01:05:41.599
on the iHeart Radio app or Welcome
Back Case O Day Radio program. We

792
01:05:41.719 --> 01:05:45.280
get a Disney story for you too. I might have to mention that because

793
01:05:45.280 --> 01:05:47.199
I was busting busting it gut reading
this over the weekend. Let me grab

794
01:05:47.199 --> 01:05:51.440
a couple of calls real quick,
Boston, Paul, what's up? Stay?

795
01:05:53.920 --> 01:05:57.199
That's a bunch of maloney there with
the blue. Isn't that their station

796
01:05:57.280 --> 01:06:01.800
color anyway? Blue? And I
think Police Week's been going well. Memorial

797
01:06:01.960 --> 01:06:04.960
Day has been going since the sixties. Police Week I think since the early

798
01:06:05.119 --> 01:06:11.360
nineties. But you know what else
is what cracks me up, as with

799
01:06:11.519 --> 01:06:15.280
these phonies, Josh Stein coming out. There was a couple of weeks ago

800
01:06:15.440 --> 01:06:19.159
looking for a few to secure a
few million dollars to retain police officers and

801
01:06:19.679 --> 01:06:24.840
hired back we tired cops, and
you know, he went all about the

802
01:06:24.920 --> 01:06:28.360
cops. Now they're the guys that
wanted to to fund the cops. What

803
01:06:28.480 --> 01:06:30.639
are they doing? Well, then
everyone started getting murdered and stuff, and

804
01:06:30.679 --> 01:06:34.000
they're like, oh, this isn't
a good look. So yeah, that's

805
01:06:34.039 --> 01:06:38.159
probably what it was, huh.
And I wanted to tell you though,

806
01:06:38.199 --> 01:06:40.719
because I might not have a chance
to call you a couple of days,

807
01:06:40.800 --> 01:06:44.519
A happy birthday? Why are you
not gonna be able to call us for

808
01:06:44.559 --> 01:06:47.039
a couple it's not my birthday to
day, I say, and a couple

809
01:06:47.079 --> 01:06:49.400
of days I'm not going to be
able to call you. Probably I'm not

810
01:06:49.559 --> 01:06:54.239
my birthday in a couple of days. Either what are you doing? They

811
01:06:54.360 --> 01:06:56.679
moving you now? That ross out
at you on the radio or what?

812
01:07:00.159 --> 01:07:01.679
No, I'm busy this week though, I just wanted to say happy birthday.

813
01:07:01.960 --> 01:07:04.559
I didn't see you anywhere in black
masks, is all I'm saying.

814
01:07:04.599 --> 01:07:08.960
So I don't even know he brought
down the Winter Hill Gang or whatever.

815
01:07:09.119 --> 01:07:12.280
That's how. That's how under cover
I was. You didn't even see me.

816
01:07:12.440 --> 01:07:15.960
See see how good they are?
Well? Were you one of the

817
01:07:15.039 --> 01:07:18.119
prostitutes? He was in the movie. He was wearing a green screen,

818
01:07:18.199 --> 01:07:24.400
so you couldn't see him. Okay, that's right, that's right, all

819
01:07:24.480 --> 01:07:27.480
right, all right, get out
of here, right yeah, yeah,

820
01:07:28.559 --> 01:07:31.519
Wow, that's craziness, Donna,
real quick, what's up? Good morning,

821
01:07:31.599 --> 01:07:36.280
Casey. I was wondering if um
in black mask did they include how

822
01:07:36.719 --> 01:07:42.440
white he got caught. They just
showed the black masks. They just showed

823
01:07:42.480 --> 01:07:45.920
him walking out of the parking garage
in Santa Monica and then the FBI is

824
01:07:45.960 --> 01:07:49.079
there. Yeah, well, let
what led up to it was a straight

825
01:07:49.159 --> 01:07:54.960
cat? Yeah he started he started
feeding a straight cat, and him and

826
01:07:55.039 --> 01:07:59.760
his mall and ever, Oh,
what do you mean? I thought you

827
01:07:59.760 --> 01:08:02.079
saw white indulge. Are belonged in
prison? The cat was the hero.

828
01:08:02.599 --> 01:08:05.559
No, I'm just pointing it out
from a technical standpoint. No good comes

829
01:08:05.599 --> 01:08:09.719
of it. So hey, I
wanted to give you one of my old

830
01:08:09.760 --> 01:08:15.000
cats names. His name was Fuzzy, but his full name was Fuzzard Sea

831
01:08:15.079 --> 01:08:21.920
Bucket. Okay, what fuzzet Fuzzard
Sea Bucket. Yeah, No, one

832
01:08:21.920 --> 01:08:26.079
of your cats look like they want
to murder people. They have a good

833
01:08:26.159 --> 01:08:30.239
day. Well you know why because
I don't have murder cats around me,

834
01:08:30.359 --> 01:08:39.439
not surrounded by little little potential serial
killers. That's what's truly terrifying. So,

835
01:08:40.000 --> 01:08:45.520
um, unless you are a birdwatch
account, um, you see community

836
01:08:45.600 --> 01:08:49.399
notes once they've decided to go forward
with them on Twitter. But if you

837
01:08:49.479 --> 01:08:53.199
are a Birdwatch account, which our
show is, and this is something they

838
01:08:53.239 --> 01:08:57.720
started under the previous Twitter as kind
of people who get to vote on whether

839
01:08:57.760 --> 01:09:01.600
community notes are helpful or not,
it's interesting scrolling Twitter on our show account

840
01:09:01.800 --> 01:09:04.640
is my personal one of Ross's personal
one aren't. But if you're on the

841
01:09:04.680 --> 01:09:11.720
show account you can. So you
see these battles within community notes before it

842
01:09:11.840 --> 01:09:15.159
ever actually gets attached to a tweet
that's visible to the rest of the public.

843
01:09:15.720 --> 01:09:18.119
And I tend to not weigh in. I'll sometimes vote yea or nay.

844
01:09:20.359 --> 01:09:26.319
But it's crazy, especially Pope with
Elon. Now you see these huge,

845
01:09:26.560 --> 01:09:30.479
huge, huge battles and then they
get suggested, and normally they're over

846
01:09:30.640 --> 01:09:35.319
something political, but not this one. This is one over the weekend,

847
01:09:36.079 --> 01:09:43.199
over a Disney fun fact from the
premiere of Pinocchio, and I have to

848
01:09:43.319 --> 01:10:20.279
share it with you, So hang
on, that's coming up, a good

849
01:10:20.359 --> 01:10:24.720
one. And everybody, it is
eight o seven here on the case O

850
01:10:24.840 --> 01:10:30.239
Day Radio program. Glad to have
you along here on our Monday. Oh

851
01:10:30.319 --> 01:10:32.399
we're to start, We're to start. Well, let me start on the

852
01:10:33.279 --> 01:10:40.199
slightly humorous side of things, because
I just anytime somebody posts something that's even

853
01:10:41.159 --> 01:10:45.279
uh, you know, mildly political
on Twitter, there's a pretty good chance

854
01:10:45.399 --> 01:10:48.840
the community notes are going to pop
up. And if you're a birdwatch account,

855
01:10:48.960 --> 01:10:54.039
basically this was some program the instituted
under the old Twitter, which allowed

856
01:10:54.079 --> 01:10:58.079
people to add information. Now I
did it not because I wanted to add

857
01:10:58.199 --> 01:11:00.119
tags, but I signed up the
show account to do it and we got

858
01:11:00.159 --> 01:11:04.399
accepted because I want to be able
to read the tags. So while I

859
01:11:04.520 --> 01:11:08.800
may occasionally vote on some stuff,
I don't know. I've never actually written

860
01:11:08.880 --> 01:11:15.239
a note, but I find them
fascinating and it's curious, like a Biden

861
01:11:15.359 --> 01:11:18.359
a tweet from Biden's account, which
is such gas lighting. Most of the

862
01:11:18.439 --> 01:11:25.640
time it'll have a ton of stuff
on it, but generally there's also just

863
01:11:25.800 --> 01:11:29.000
like a whole bucket of crazy that
goes into this stuff. And so you

864
01:11:29.079 --> 01:11:33.680
know these accounts that post like historic
photos and videos and they're just random click

865
01:11:33.760 --> 01:11:36.600
through accounts you may follow. I
follow a few of them because I find

866
01:11:36.640 --> 01:11:42.239
them fascinating or colorized. There's a
there's a Twitter account that just sends you

867
01:11:42.399 --> 01:11:51.680
a post colorized Twitter tweets colorized photos
of World War Two, which I find

868
01:11:51.920 --> 01:11:58.760
really fascinating generally with the context around
them. Libs of TikTok just repost videos

869
01:11:58.840 --> 01:12:04.159
from TikTok. So there's account call
of Historic VIDs and they try to find

870
01:12:04.239 --> 01:12:06.319
some of the more obscure stuff and
put it out, and they put one

871
01:12:06.319 --> 01:12:13.000
out over the weekend, and I'm
just looking back at it a lot of

872
01:12:13.079 --> 01:12:15.039
times too. Of the end up
removing a bunch of community notes because it's

873
01:12:15.079 --> 01:12:17.880
people just fighting. So I should
have taken a screenshot, and I was

874
01:12:17.960 --> 01:12:21.840
going to, and then I got
distracted on Saturday. But in it they

875
01:12:21.960 --> 01:12:28.600
posted a pretty innocuous thing. It's
a photo from nineteen forty and it's a

876
01:12:28.680 --> 01:12:34.760
balcony above a theater in Los Angeles
where the theater is promoting a big movie

877
01:12:34.920 --> 01:12:44.039
preview that is happening that day.
That movie is Disney's classic Pinocchio, which

878
01:12:44.319 --> 01:12:50.880
nineteen I came about nineteen forty.
That's crazy that that movie's what eighty three

879
01:12:51.000 --> 01:12:56.560
years old and was part of my
childhood. It's part of a lot of

880
01:12:56.640 --> 01:13:01.319
your childhood still part of you know, childhood's today. So in the photo

881
01:13:01.439 --> 01:13:12.680
you see actors described as little people
that were hired obviously adult actors who were

882
01:13:12.760 --> 01:13:17.760
hired to dresses Pinocchio and stand on
the balcony and wave at people. It

883
01:13:17.880 --> 01:13:20.359
was all part of the premiere for
Pinocchio. And they left them up there

884
01:13:20.399 --> 01:13:24.279
all day and then into the evening
and boom, except they didn't make it

885
01:13:24.399 --> 01:13:30.800
till the evening. As news accounts
of the time provide context there, and

886
01:13:30.279 --> 01:13:34.239
in the photo you see them up
there, and the news descriptions go as

887
01:13:34.319 --> 01:13:40.760
follows. Disney the Disney Company placed
them on the balcony above the theater to

888
01:13:41.239 --> 01:13:44.560
promote the premiere of Pinocchio, which
was to take place that evening. Left

889
01:13:44.600 --> 01:13:47.399
them on the balcony with enough food
and wine for the day. This is

890
01:13:47.399 --> 01:13:51.239
the nineteen forties, They'll give you
that. However, by late afternoon,

891
01:13:53.279 --> 01:13:56.439
the costumes, which were too hot, had been removed, and they were

892
01:13:56.520 --> 01:14:02.920
mostly or partially or mostly naked and
drunk. And we're screaming at pastors by

893
01:14:06.239 --> 01:14:12.000
that's the story. And I don't
know, there's something incredibly hilarious about a

894
01:14:12.159 --> 01:14:17.560
naked uh Pinocchio drunkenly screaming a pastor's
pie on a city street. I don't

895
01:14:17.600 --> 01:14:21.359
know why. I just find that
really amusing. Like today, that would

896
01:14:21.359 --> 01:14:30.680
be the viral video of all viral
videos. Ross you're telling me, would

897
01:14:30.720 --> 01:14:32.600
you it would be a badge of
honor to get screamed at by a drunk,

898
01:14:32.680 --> 01:14:39.520
naked Pinocchio person, wouldn't it from
a balcony I find it definitely would

899
01:14:39.560 --> 01:14:43.239
be a story. You'd be an
a story. So this is where the

900
01:14:43.279 --> 01:14:47.159
community notes come in because rather than
just going oh, that's crazy, it

901
01:14:47.319 --> 01:14:54.039
turns conspiratorial. One, this account
is trying to shame people with dwarfism.

902
01:14:56.239 --> 01:15:01.399
What two the we can't take at
face value the reporting of that day,

903
01:15:01.479 --> 01:15:05.399
and it may have been either a
hatchet job against Disney or a hatchet job

904
01:15:05.920 --> 01:15:12.680
against little people. These are the
community notes that are appearing there about some

905
01:15:12.880 --> 01:15:16.600
innocuous, crazy thing that happened in
nineteen forty say you know with this,

906
01:15:16.720 --> 01:15:20.720
Oh well, they had a problem
because news news of what had happened on

907
01:15:20.800 --> 01:15:25.680
the set of Wizard of Oz,
which premiered what thirty eight or thirty nine,

908
01:15:25.760 --> 01:15:30.760
so just prior to this had come
out and so it was it was

909
01:15:30.920 --> 01:15:38.039
bigotry and hatred, and or it
was people attacking Disney because of his anti

910
01:15:38.159 --> 01:15:41.279
Semitic belief. I'm telling you,
these are things that end up in community

911
01:15:41.359 --> 01:15:45.079
notes. Nothing to back it.
All we have is the photo and it's

912
01:15:45.119 --> 01:15:47.520
not them naked even it's just them
standing up there at Pinocchio wave it at

913
01:15:47.600 --> 01:15:51.840
people. It's black and white obviously. And then we have reporting in a

914
01:15:51.920 --> 01:15:59.279
newspaper two newspapers that are attached at
the time, who both shared a similar

915
01:15:59.319 --> 01:16:01.439
account. I don't know what happened. I don't care. It's a historical

916
01:16:01.600 --> 01:16:08.960
vid. None of the people are
alive today. But we're willing to like

917
01:16:09.119 --> 01:16:12.680
inject a social justice angle and then
a political angle. And I'm just like,

918
01:16:12.880 --> 01:16:15.840
I just think it'd be hilarious to
have a bunch of drunk, naked

919
01:16:15.960 --> 01:16:23.239
Pinocchio guys screaming at people on the
street corner. But that's just me.

920
01:16:24.840 --> 01:16:28.680
So anyway, that's that story.
I just thought i'd share with you because

921
01:16:28.680 --> 01:16:38.319
I found it rather interesting. The
trial, Oh yeah, no, no,

922
01:16:38.399 --> 01:16:40.439
no, I'm I'm I'm all done. I'm not gonna get into all

923
01:16:40.439 --> 01:16:43.399
the Pinocchio, Easter eggs and pub
scene and all that stuff. I got

924
01:16:43.479 --> 01:16:47.399
it. Just concentrate on the one
thing, all right. So the indictment

925
01:16:47.520 --> 01:16:57.000
and eventually the trial of the marine
on the subway Daniel Penny, who is

926
01:16:57.159 --> 01:17:03.039
alleged to have killed Jordan Neely,
Well, that ball got rolling end of

927
01:17:03.159 --> 01:17:09.039
last week with Penny turning himself in. They got the perp block photo,

928
01:17:09.359 --> 01:17:14.520
AOC and others got to scream about
stuff others have obviously said, well,

929
01:17:14.640 --> 01:17:17.600
you know what, thank you Daniel
Penny for doing the work that the police

930
01:17:17.640 --> 01:17:19.840
won't do. And I would only
point out, and I will say this,

931
01:17:20.159 --> 01:17:26.279
as I've said before, it's whether
you think it's by design or is

932
01:17:26.359 --> 01:17:30.640
just a happy circumstance. This is
what happens when people feel that the justice

933
01:17:30.680 --> 01:17:39.359
system is broken, because that's the
that's the agreement, right, We're going

934
01:17:39.479 --> 01:17:42.800
to and we can debate over effectiveness
all the rest, but we're going to

935
01:17:42.880 --> 01:17:49.119
have a system where instead of vigilante
justice, we've identified individuals and those those

936
01:17:49.199 --> 01:17:56.920
identified are the ones who will handle
enforcement of laws. And so you,

937
01:17:57.159 --> 01:17:59.800
Joe blow, all you have to
do is call them and then they'll come.

938
01:18:00.000 --> 01:18:04.079
They'll handle it, and you do
that because when citizens handle stuff,

939
01:18:04.359 --> 01:18:08.560
it's messy. Sometimes they don't have
the level of training, they don't have

940
01:18:08.640 --> 01:18:15.840
the experience where they've experienced a particular
situation on multiple occasions. They may,

941
01:18:15.159 --> 01:18:17.720
you know, they may or may
not have as firm a grasp on the

942
01:18:17.840 --> 01:18:21.840
law, although sometimes I see police
videos where I'm like, have you read

943
01:18:23.000 --> 01:18:27.479
the book, the Constitution or anything? But but for the most part,

944
01:18:27.680 --> 01:18:32.359
obviously you want somebody who has that
training, experience and the resources you know,

945
01:18:32.479 --> 01:18:35.720
most of us don't walk around with
you know, three or four different

946
01:18:35.800 --> 01:18:42.760
ways to deal with something on a
on a utility belt, from oc to

947
01:18:43.399 --> 01:18:47.560
you know, some sort of spray, to a baton to the verbal that

948
01:18:47.720 --> 01:18:53.199
they that they teach the de escalation
techniques. Obviously up to a firearm.

949
01:18:56.720 --> 01:18:59.840
Most people aren't packing that, so
you want that. But when there is

950
01:18:59.840 --> 01:19:01.960
a breakdown of that and people feel
that the law is not being enforced and

951
01:19:02.039 --> 01:19:05.359
people will attempt to have forced the
law on their own, whether it's that

952
01:19:05.720 --> 01:19:12.560
or the guy who stopped the shoplifter
at the TJ Max, And that's when

953
01:19:12.640 --> 01:19:17.840
things get messy. So in this
case, Penny retire marine who restrained Neelie

954
01:19:17.920 --> 01:19:23.079
but did so with a chokehold that
officials say caused him to asphyxiate and die,

955
01:19:24.479 --> 01:19:29.720
now charged with manslaughter, ironically by
the very same DA who seemingly doesn't

956
01:19:29.720 --> 01:19:35.359
want to charge anybody with anything,
including Neely, who, for a combination

957
01:19:35.479 --> 01:19:41.199
of forty some offenses, including the
attempted kidnapping of a seven year old and

958
01:19:41.439 --> 01:19:44.560
a physical assault of an elderly woman
I think, did a grand total of

959
01:19:44.600 --> 01:19:50.920
about six months. Well, on
this subway, you also saw a whole

960
01:19:50.960 --> 01:19:55.319
bunch of people that look pretty damn
relieved that this guy was being restrained,

961
01:19:55.399 --> 01:19:59.680
and in the longer video you see
he wasn't just trying to moonwalk in front

962
01:19:59.720 --> 01:20:05.479
of them, including one of the
people who helped restrain him, appearing to

963
01:20:05.600 --> 01:20:12.800
be a man who is black.
Because I know the racial component had to

964
01:20:12.840 --> 01:20:16.560
be played in this, but in
reality now even people on the subway are

965
01:20:16.600 --> 01:20:23.000
coming forward and might help bolster Penny's
claim of self defense or defense of others.

966
01:20:23.119 --> 01:20:30.239
More specifically, in a New York
Post article, we learned that a

967
01:20:30.319 --> 01:20:33.960
woman came forward anonymously to speak up
for Penny. She's not anonymous to the

968
01:20:33.960 --> 01:20:39.520
police, obviously, but anonymous to
the reporter here, but it was able

969
01:20:39.560 --> 01:20:44.439
to be verified as one of the
people who was on the subway. When

970
01:20:44.880 --> 01:20:48.600
Penny plays neely in the fatal chokehold, she says she's praying for Penny after

971
01:20:48.880 --> 01:20:53.840
it was revealed he'd be charged.
I hope he has a great lawyer.

972
01:20:53.880 --> 01:20:56.159
I'm praying for him, the sixty
six year old woman, who did not

973
01:20:56.239 --> 01:21:00.880
want to be identified, told the
Post. The writer said Neil, who

974
01:21:00.960 --> 01:21:05.720
had a history of mental illness and
threatening people on the train, was yelling,

975
01:21:05.960 --> 01:21:09.359
quote, I don't care. I'll
take a bullet. I'll go to

976
01:21:09.520 --> 01:21:15.279
jail, and that he would kill
people on the train. He said,

977
01:21:15.319 --> 01:21:17.720
I would kill an MF or I
don't care, I'll take a bullet,

978
01:21:17.720 --> 01:21:23.079
I'll go to jail. He said
that Penny did not initially engage with Neelie

979
01:21:23.159 --> 01:21:27.079
during the rant until things got out
of hand, and at that point she

980
01:21:27.319 --> 01:21:34.760
and others felt that somebody needed to
step in, and he did initially said

981
01:21:34.760 --> 01:21:38.520
mister Penny did not stand up,
did not engage with the gentleman, did

982
01:21:38.560 --> 01:21:41.880
not say a word. It was
all Neely that was threatening passengers if he

983
01:21:41.960 --> 01:21:45.119
didn't get what he wanted. So, yes, there was a certain panhandling

984
01:21:45.159 --> 01:21:50.119
angle that, according to this witness, devolved into threats since nobody was I

985
01:21:50.159 --> 01:21:58.119
guess given him what he wanted.
So now you're getting into escalation of things

986
01:22:01.720 --> 01:22:05.960
any kind. This is continuing from
the article Any competent lawyer recognizes there are

987
01:22:06.000 --> 01:22:11.520
several avenues of defense. First,
was force justified as a matter of law?

988
01:22:11.600 --> 01:22:15.720
Second? Was deadly force justified?
And how do they still have to

989
01:22:15.800 --> 01:22:18.560
prove that he knew it to be
deadly forced and didn't just think that he

990
01:22:18.680 --> 01:22:24.319
was providing force? And screwed up. So there's a lot of complexity here,

991
01:22:24.439 --> 01:22:28.079
but ultimately a lot of it should
come down in a perfect world too.

992
01:22:28.760 --> 01:22:32.520
What the what a reasonable person thought? And if you if you start,

993
01:22:32.840 --> 01:22:36.600
you know, taking the pulse of
people on this car, and they

994
01:22:36.680 --> 01:22:41.239
are all sitting there telling you,
or the majority are sitting there telling you

995
01:22:41.399 --> 01:22:45.239
that they saw a situation that started
as one thing but was quickly escalating to

996
01:22:45.359 --> 01:22:54.279
another. That should be a good
thing for the defendant, because that's the

997
01:22:54.359 --> 01:22:57.239
story they're going to tell. The
problem, of course, is in you're

998
01:22:57.279 --> 01:23:02.319
in New York and you've got the
lawyer for his family out there doing press

999
01:23:02.399 --> 01:23:08.279
conferences saying crap like this, No
one on that train. That's Jordan,

1000
01:23:08.359 --> 01:23:13.880
what's wrong? How can I help
you? He was choked to death?

1001
01:23:14.840 --> 01:23:17.520
Let me just pause here. You
know why, because he's screaming at them.

1002
01:23:18.640 --> 01:23:23.159
That's not debatable that he was yelling
at them. We can argue over

1003
01:23:23.279 --> 01:23:26.760
whether it was just you know,
First Amendment or all that, but the

1004
01:23:27.119 --> 01:23:32.079
fact remains that most people are not
going to engage with somebody who is at

1005
01:23:32.119 --> 01:23:41.439
that emotional level they don't know and
is potentially making threats. Most people will

1006
01:23:41.439 --> 01:23:45.159
just tend to ignore that kind of
you know, look back at their phone,

1007
01:23:45.600 --> 01:23:48.039
not want him involve themselves. So
you're right, maybe nobody did ask

1008
01:23:48.159 --> 01:23:54.039
him, But at a point where
he's talking about taking a bullet of if

1009
01:23:54.079 --> 01:23:59.399
he doesn't get what he wants,
I don't know that anyone has an obligation

1010
01:23:59.479 --> 01:24:01.520
to ask how they can help him. Because he stated what he wants,

1011
01:24:01.600 --> 01:24:04.479
it didn't seem like people were willing
to give it to him, maybe because

1012
01:24:04.520 --> 01:24:10.880
they thought he was loony tunes dead. So for everybody saying I've been on

1013
01:24:10.960 --> 01:24:14.119
the train and I've been afraid before, and I can't tell you what I

1014
01:24:14.119 --> 01:24:17.199
would have done in that situation,
I'm gonna tell you ask how you can

1015
01:24:17.319 --> 01:24:28.159
help. Please, don't attack,
don't choke, don't kill, don't take

1016
01:24:28.239 --> 01:24:31.960
someone's life. Don't take someone's loved
one from them because they're in a bad

1017
01:24:32.039 --> 01:24:38.560
place. No one on that train
said you started out by saying, I'm

1018
01:24:38.680 --> 01:24:43.279
hungry, I need food. I'm
done with it. I don't know where

1019
01:24:43.319 --> 01:24:45.560
to get food. I don't care
if I die, I don't care if

1020
01:24:45.560 --> 01:24:48.399
I go to jail. I'm just
done. No one said, here,

1021
01:24:48.479 --> 01:24:53.880
you are certain, let me meet
your need or help you in a situation

1022
01:24:54.239 --> 01:24:57.960
or give a word of encouragement.
That's not what happened on that train.

1023
01:24:58.600 --> 01:25:00.520
No, it's not. And it's
one they don't have an obligation. And

1024
01:25:00.680 --> 01:25:06.399
two, the way in which that
is delivered was not nearly as calm as

1025
01:25:06.479 --> 01:25:10.239
the way the lawyer delivered it,
and he left out a few keywords.

1026
01:25:14.600 --> 01:25:17.119
But the reality is people are going
to be afraid in that situation. Most

1027
01:25:17.159 --> 01:25:21.159
people are just going to ignore it, and once it escalates, that's where

1028
01:25:21.159 --> 01:25:27.079
the dividing line is. So those
witness statements are going to be very impactful.

1029
01:25:27.319 --> 01:25:30.920
And there's video upon video that have
emerged of this guy basically going into

1030
01:25:30.960 --> 01:25:35.119
a train and that's what he does. He is a very very he was

1031
01:25:35.159 --> 01:25:40.960
a very aggressive panhandler, which in
and of itself, right where you're doing

1032
01:25:41.000 --> 01:25:45.039
the hard sell isn't necessarily illegal.
But when you start talking about I don't

1033
01:25:45.119 --> 01:25:49.880
care, I'll take a bullet,
I'll fight you, you put hands on

1034
01:25:50.079 --> 01:25:57.840
somebody, we're at a new level
there. And when people experience that and

1035
01:25:58.119 --> 01:26:01.640
they don't see any police looking around
to doing anything, this is where you

1036
01:26:01.720 --> 01:26:04.000
go. You've seen did you see
the video of the woman who tried to

1037
01:26:04.039 --> 01:26:08.840
get up and this is another panhandle
her aggressive dude. It's it's not the

1038
01:26:09.920 --> 01:26:15.079
Neelie Neely In this case. He
goes in, he's making he is very

1039
01:26:15.359 --> 01:26:17.880
menacing in the way that he moves
around, and he sits down next to

1040
01:26:17.920 --> 01:26:20.119
this woman, and as people are
moving to the other side of the car,

1041
01:26:20.239 --> 01:26:23.800
she goes stand up. He grabs
her hair and holds onto it like

1042
01:26:23.880 --> 01:26:30.960
he'd grab a horse's mane. You're
riding bareback. Don't do that, by

1043
01:26:31.000 --> 01:26:33.319
the way, And did this to
this woman that just held her there,

1044
01:26:33.319 --> 01:26:42.880
and the terror on her face is
it's palpable. In that video, there's

1045
01:26:42.880 --> 01:26:45.600
still frames of her face and then
the whole video, and he's screaming the

1046
01:26:45.640 --> 01:26:49.039
whole time. But he's physically grabbed
this woman. He's holding her hair,

1047
01:26:49.159 --> 01:26:51.439
she's sitting next to him, she's
got nowhere to go, and he's screaming

1048
01:26:51.479 --> 01:26:57.560
at other people. And you see
individuals bearing their faces into their phones and

1049
01:26:57.760 --> 01:27:01.680
trying to ignore this situation. And
now that this guy's being prosecuted, I

1050
01:27:01.840 --> 01:27:05.840
feel that people who might have stepped
in in certain circumstances, they're going to

1051
01:27:05.880 --> 01:27:12.720
be pressured to ignore it even further. So it's going to take everyone on

1052
01:27:12.840 --> 01:27:16.560
that train, and maybe it's going
to take someone on that jury who's experienced

1053
01:27:16.600 --> 01:27:20.319
this, and it's going to take
a recitation of the facts in the proper

1054
01:27:20.439 --> 01:27:26.880
emotional state to adjudicate this. And
I hope that there's a fair trial that

1055
01:27:26.920 --> 01:27:30.640
could be had. I believe the
fundraiser was at two million dollars when I

1056
01:27:30.680 --> 01:27:33.279
looked at it this weekend, so
they are working on it. All right,

1057
01:27:33.279 --> 01:27:35.600
We can get some calls on this
and much more coming up case O

1058
01:27:35.720 --> 01:27:42.119
Day radio program Dear Decade on the
calendar and celebrating ten years on the air.

1059
01:27:42.520 --> 01:27:45.199
This is one oh six one FM
Talk in the Triangle and News Talk

1060
01:27:45.319 --> 01:27:54.960
ninety four five WPTI in the Triad. All right, good morning, eight

1061
01:27:55.039 --> 01:27:59.399
thirty six here on the Cacoda Radio
program. So I'm not sure what all

1062
01:27:59.439 --> 01:28:08.039
I got planned for the week,
but some advice, some advice from Florida.

1063
01:28:08.680 --> 01:28:16.159
That's right, we got us a
Florida Man. Florida Man. Florida

1064
01:28:16.239 --> 01:28:19.680
Man is something in the water,
the air or scent that makes you do

1065
01:28:19.840 --> 01:28:24.199
all that crazy crap. It's like
the state is one being dumb ass trap.

1066
01:28:24.359 --> 01:28:30.720
Nowhere else has the Florida Man.
It is almost like as the weird

1067
01:28:30.920 --> 01:28:38.800
factor climbs, you'll find out it
happened in Florida every time. Florida Man,

1068
01:28:39.239 --> 01:28:42.119
Florida man. If anyone can cheer
me, if you know you can,

1069
01:28:42.279 --> 01:28:45.359
does mind life get crazy? But
of course, but it's not as

1070
01:28:45.439 --> 01:28:49.479
bad crap crazy as yours. Nowhere
else are you gonna find him. They're

1071
01:28:49.479 --> 01:28:56.560
so used to it they don't mind
him. Hooray for Florida Man. Clearwater,

1072
01:28:56.680 --> 01:29:01.600
Florida man that police were so and
to arrest at the Palms, which

1073
01:29:01.640 --> 01:29:09.359
I guess is a development there at
the community pool, was alleged to have

1074
01:29:10.000 --> 01:29:15.880
taken to the apartment complex's outdoor pool
connected his phone to a bluetooth speaker,

1075
01:29:15.239 --> 01:29:18.640
because let's face it, the speakers
on the phones are not that great,

1076
01:29:18.760 --> 01:29:24.600
especially in an outdoor setting. I'm
the same way for doing a beach thing,

1077
01:29:24.920 --> 01:29:29.640
or if on the golf course even
I've got a little like square bows

1078
01:29:30.159 --> 01:29:33.880
bluetooth speaker that I got at a
golf tournament years ago. Keep that in

1079
01:29:33.920 --> 01:29:40.359
the old golf bag. I know
some people don't like music on the course

1080
01:29:40.520 --> 01:29:44.960
whatever, or at the beach or
whatever, but yeah, bluetooth speaker,

1081
01:29:45.039 --> 01:29:49.439
understand it. The problem was it
wasn't music. According to police, he

1082
01:29:49.680 --> 01:29:56.880
rolled into the community pool, set
up the speaker, removed his pants,

1083
01:29:57.319 --> 01:30:01.119
and then started streaming porn on his
phone, which was then amplified through the

1084
01:30:01.239 --> 01:30:05.199
speaker. Wait, so he intentionally
hooked it up to the bluetooth. That's

1085
01:30:05.199 --> 01:30:09.960
what I see. This is why
I bring this story up because I had

1086
01:30:10.039 --> 01:30:13.600
the same what the hell right,
because there were the headline and I assumed,

1087
01:30:13.720 --> 01:30:15.560
right that accident accidentally. Oh my
god, the bluetooth is on.

1088
01:30:15.680 --> 01:30:20.880
I'm busted. Wait but wow,
hmm, Well, I mean, do

1089
01:30:20.920 --> 01:30:26.399
you want to watch porn with bad
audio? I mean, this guy doesn't.

1090
01:30:27.039 --> 01:30:29.560
He's not going to stand for that. He wants the top quality porn

1091
01:30:29.680 --> 01:30:33.479
experience on his phone, so he
went bluetooth speaker. I thought the same

1092
01:30:33.520 --> 01:30:40.880
exact thing you thought initially, But
after reading it, I'm sitting here and

1093
01:30:40.960 --> 01:30:44.039
I go, no, he's not
claiming that it was an accident because that

1094
01:30:44.199 --> 01:30:46.960
I could see, right, And
so it's not even like headphones like plugged

1095
01:30:46.960 --> 01:30:50.439
into the speed. It's just right. It's like the guy who's speaking at

1096
01:30:50.439 --> 01:30:54.239
an event when he's got one of
the Lava lier mics on and he goes

1097
01:30:54.279 --> 01:30:57.520
to the bathroom and it doesn't turn
off and like, ahh right, or

1098
01:30:59.560 --> 01:31:06.000
when you're when you're in a car
that like sinks phones and you're if you're

1099
01:31:06.039 --> 01:31:10.079
having a conversation, or if you're
if you're texting, you're having a conversation,

1100
01:31:10.199 --> 01:31:12.319
it can show up on the dash, so watch out for that,

1101
01:31:13.680 --> 01:31:18.039
right, there was an awkward situation
where that actually happened. Yeah, I

1102
01:31:18.079 --> 01:31:21.399
don't get that impression. I think
he had his Bluetooth speaker and was listening

1103
01:31:21.439 --> 01:31:25.119
to it out loud as on the
on the speaker. I don't know,

1104
01:31:25.159 --> 01:31:30.199
maybe speaker on his phone didn't work. I mean the part where he's at

1105
01:31:30.239 --> 01:31:34.039
a public pool. Yes. Now, And here's why I believe that he

1106
01:31:34.439 --> 01:31:39.159
intended to do it, because according
to the arrest half of David, he

1107
01:31:39.239 --> 01:31:42.840
admitted to connecting the video to the
Bluetooth speaker and playing the video out loud

1108
01:31:43.279 --> 01:31:48.920
as he you know, did that
and said that the reason he did it

1109
01:31:49.079 --> 01:32:00.319
is because when he's drunk he does
stupid things, which is accurate. He

1110
01:32:00.520 --> 01:32:04.680
was sighted. And then I guess
they released him that same day, so

1111
01:32:05.039 --> 01:32:09.079
there you go. Yeah, yeah, no, I thought it was a

1112
01:32:09.159 --> 01:32:13.079
mix up. Two one to mix
up, just him going yep, I'm

1113
01:32:13.119 --> 01:32:15.600
going to the community pool. I
mean his tax dollars paid for the pool,

1114
01:32:15.680 --> 01:32:20.319
right or his h maybe her his
apartment fees or yeah, yeah,

1115
01:32:21.680 --> 01:32:27.000
I mean that's one way to look
at it, that he's got some skin

1116
01:32:27.079 --> 01:32:31.279
in the game. But in this
case it's the double and Tundrous. So

1117
01:32:31.600 --> 01:32:38.000
uh yeah, yeah, don't don't. Don't do that at the pool at

1118
01:32:38.079 --> 01:32:43.279
your apartment place. By the way, the palms described as a Mediterranean oasis

1119
01:32:43.960 --> 01:32:50.840
just minutes from Clearwater beaches, So
yeah, sounds nice. And unless there's

1120
01:32:50.880 --> 01:33:00.800
some drunk dude blasting porn on a
bluetooth speaker, probably not something the neighbors

1121
01:33:00.840 --> 01:33:06.680
are gonna like. So it's fun
when art becomes reality and life imitates it.

1122
01:33:09.359 --> 01:33:15.760
Castion point Levi's so a lot of
companies I've now now that we've had

1123
01:33:15.840 --> 01:33:21.399
some time to settle after the marketing
fund. That is bud Light, which

1124
01:33:21.439 --> 01:33:25.800
by the way, is now they
keep a list of the most toxic brands

1125
01:33:25.800 --> 01:33:30.439
in America. Bud Lights now on
that, and you, like you basically

1126
01:33:30.520 --> 01:33:36.279
got to be asbestost right or or
BP when they were dumping oil. Now,

1127
01:33:36.399 --> 01:33:41.039
granted there's a little politicalization of the
list, but you're bud Light.

1128
01:33:41.119 --> 01:33:44.640
You had to think you'd never end
up on this, right, basically like

1129
01:33:45.039 --> 01:33:49.520
BP with the with the Deepwater Horizon
and the organization that owns the Red Sox.

1130
01:33:49.840 --> 01:33:56.520
Other than that, yeah, people
come and go, well Levi and

1131
01:33:56.680 --> 01:34:00.239
And as a result, companies are
having to make a decision whether they're going

1132
01:34:00.359 --> 01:34:08.399
to engage in a lot of this
type of marketing. And there have been

1133
01:34:08.560 --> 01:34:14.319
now minutes that have been explained from
various shareholder meetings where it's pretty clear the

1134
01:34:14.399 --> 01:34:17.119
companies they don't want any piece of
this. They just want to sell whatever

1135
01:34:17.159 --> 01:34:20.760
it is they're selling. They don't
want to engage in this. They're going

1136
01:34:20.800 --> 01:34:26.039
to still continue to do pride stuff
and you know, do all of that,

1137
01:34:26.560 --> 01:34:30.640
but they're they're not willing to go
that extra mile and hire a Dylan

1138
01:34:30.720 --> 01:34:38.000
mulvaney to model their makeup or lingerie
as some brands have. But not Levi's

1139
01:34:38.079 --> 01:34:43.640
man, They're all in. They're
good to go. The nation's oldest jeans

1140
01:34:43.760 --> 01:34:50.439
company CEO Chipberg shook off any fears
of a bud Light style backlash against the

1141
01:34:50.479 --> 01:34:56.439
one hundred and seventy year old company
as he revealed the San Francisco based brand

1142
01:34:56.600 --> 01:35:01.439
is building out a new line of
unisex clothing novel which is fine, right,

1143
01:35:01.560 --> 01:35:05.800
there's you know, people sell jackets
and stuff that are quote unquote unisects

1144
01:35:05.960 --> 01:35:12.319
or you know, one size fits
all kind of stuff. But the way

1145
01:35:12.359 --> 01:35:17.000
that they're marketing it is they're doing
this to talk about how gender is not

1146
01:35:17.199 --> 01:35:23.359
binary and and so they've got all
of that along with it instead of just

1147
01:35:23.439 --> 01:35:27.359
saying, Nope, we're selling stuff
that anyone can buy. We don't care

1148
01:35:27.439 --> 01:35:29.960
because none of our business what should
be the smart way to handle it?

1149
01:35:30.000 --> 01:35:40.000
And you could still market this Bird
promoted Levi's gender neutral efforts in response to

1150
01:35:40.079 --> 01:35:44.359
a question that reference Bud lights recent
marketing troubles. Quote, how do you

1151
01:35:44.399 --> 01:35:46.880
market products in a world where people
are more aware of their gender identities?

1152
01:35:49.000 --> 01:35:54.039
And he came with studies, he
says, you study reveals that one percent

1153
01:35:54.039 --> 01:35:58.520
of adults currently described as transgender,
non binary, non conforming, or gender

1154
01:35:58.600 --> 01:36:06.279
fluid. So their reasoning is to
attempt to cater to that. And as

1155
01:36:06.359 --> 01:36:12.399
explained now, it's a San Francisco
based company, so but still, Levi's

1156
01:36:12.560 --> 01:36:20.239
is one of those brands that I
thought, for the most part, for

1157
01:36:20.319 --> 01:36:26.239
the most oh irritated the Red Sox
people. Hey man, I don't make

1158
01:36:26.279 --> 01:36:29.119
the list. Plus I don't know
if they're really on there, but they

1159
01:36:29.119 --> 01:36:33.319
should be. So now this guy's
he's all in instead of just being like,

1160
01:36:33.399 --> 01:36:40.279
yeah, we're genes and recognizing that, especially with genes in the same

1161
01:36:40.399 --> 01:36:45.239
way that people who are archaeologists determined
if somebody is a male or female based

1162
01:36:45.279 --> 01:36:49.479
on pelvic size, well, genes, styles of genes and the way that

1163
01:36:49.560 --> 01:36:54.760
they fit. People are genuinely going
to be different between men and women because

1164
01:36:54.840 --> 01:36:59.880
we're built differently. So you're making
a statement when you're doing that. The

1165
01:37:00.119 --> 01:37:02.239
irony, of course, is is
that SNL a number of years ago did

1166
01:37:02.319 --> 01:37:08.520
a bit that they thought obviously would
never be anything on this exact topic,

1167
01:37:08.720 --> 01:37:15.199
and it's ridiculous. My jeans tell
me I'm a man. My jeans tell

1168
01:37:15.279 --> 01:37:19.079
me I'm a woman. They tell
me I'm relaxed, that I'm skinny a

1169
01:37:19.279 --> 01:37:24.720
child. Yo, you don't know
me jeans. I'm not a style,

1170
01:37:24.840 --> 01:37:28.479
I'm not a size. That's not
me. I am not a child.

1171
01:37:29.119 --> 01:37:34.800
I'm me. I'm unique, I'm
whoa whoa woke, I'm WOA. So

1172
01:37:36.199 --> 01:37:44.840
why aren't my jeans Now they are
introducing LEVI Wokes size list style neutral,

1173
01:37:45.000 --> 01:37:49.520
gender nonconforming Denham for a generation that
defies labels. Levi's heard that if you're

1174
01:37:49.560 --> 01:37:55.399
not woke, it's bad. So
we made these defined as someone by the

1175
01:37:55.560 --> 01:38:00.520
style that's fensive. That's why Levi
wokes have no style. It looks like

1176
01:38:00.600 --> 01:38:05.760
they're wearing a much uglier version of
the mc hammer pants. It looks like

1177
01:38:06.039 --> 01:38:10.439
like bigger, ridiculous, more version
of the old Jenkos. Remember those Jenkos.

1178
01:38:10.560 --> 01:38:14.359
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. But if you're an upa loopa,

1179
01:38:14.479 --> 01:38:16.439
I don't know how to describe it. It's just so obviously it's met

1180
01:38:16.560 --> 01:38:20.479
in a comedic way. I like
the zipper that goes it's it's like a

1181
01:38:20.640 --> 01:38:24.279
hundred eighty it goes from like your
belly button all the way back to here.

1182
01:38:24.359 --> 01:38:27.800
But yeah, I just I just
looked at the clock. I didn't

1183
01:38:27.800 --> 01:38:30.000
get a chance to play the whole
thing. But yeah, yeah, race

1184
01:38:30.079 --> 01:38:33.199
aging. They're crazy looking jeans man. But Levi's all in. So from

1185
01:38:33.399 --> 01:38:39.199
snl bit to uh here we go
U. It is interesting to see how

1186
01:38:39.239 --> 01:38:41.760
companies you're dealing with this. All
right, real quick, let's get some

1187
01:38:42.079 --> 01:38:45.760
Let's get some wonderful weather, shall
we? Yeah we will today right now,

1188
01:38:45.880 --> 01:38:48.319
there's more clouds try it and west
than there are toward Raleigh. In

1189
01:38:48.359 --> 01:38:53.600
the triangle Fayetteville. All looking pretty
good right now, But Marshall's sun depends

1190
01:38:53.640 --> 01:38:55.920
really on your where you are.
I think most of us will get our

1191
01:38:55.920 --> 01:38:59.600
fair share of clouds later a little
mid seventies tonight, you're sixty. Then

1192
01:38:59.600 --> 01:39:02.800
we'll start thrown around showers, thunder
showers Tomorrow afternoon into Tomorrow night and at

1193
01:39:02.880 --> 01:39:06.279
least a part of Wednesday. I
actually got a front coming in tomorrow.

1194
01:39:06.279 --> 01:39:12.359
Will still be warm ahead of the
front as will likely again make it probably

1195
01:39:13.039 --> 01:39:15.840
in the low to mid eighties,
and then by Wednesday, upper seventies.

1196
01:39:15.880 --> 01:39:18.319
Thursday Friday look real nice as the
rain chances are out. It's one of

1197
01:39:18.319 --> 01:39:20.600
those air masks, Casey, where
you'll feel the difference will be in the

1198
01:39:20.640 --> 01:39:24.159
mid seventies, loads of night in
the low fifties. Some spots will be

1199
01:39:24.199 --> 01:39:27.640
in the forties. So we'll get
rid of some of this warmth. Not

1200
01:39:27.920 --> 01:39:31.159
terrible warmth, but certainly a feel
and a look that'll be a little bit

1201
01:39:31.199 --> 01:39:33.640
different later in the week. Cool, all right, thank you, sir,

1202
01:39:33.680 --> 01:39:36.920
appreciate it, okay, and we'll
come back chat with Jeff Bellinger your

1203
01:39:36.960 --> 01:39:51.239
calls as well, coming up next
Ten years of News twice an hour and

1204
01:39:51.520 --> 01:39:58.199
smart Talk all day, four five
PTI in the Triad and one oh six

1205
01:39:58.279 --> 01:40:04.439
one FM talk in the Trying fifty
three and lumbered update now Jeff belcher Wood's

1206
01:40:04.479 --> 01:40:08.920
happening well, Good morning, Casey. The next high level meeting on the

1207
01:40:09.000 --> 01:40:14.079
debt ceiling is tentatively set for tomorrow. President Biden told reporters he expects to

1208
01:40:14.159 --> 01:40:18.920
meet with House Speaker Kevin McCarthy and
other congressional leaders. Overseas stocks moved higher

1209
01:40:18.960 --> 01:40:23.520
and Monday trading on hopes for a
debt ceiling deal. On the Wall Street,

1210
01:40:23.760 --> 01:40:27.960
futures are modestly higher this morning.
Now futures are up fifty three points

1211
01:40:28.039 --> 01:40:31.640
at the moment. Vice Media is
bankrupt over the weekend, The upstart company

1212
01:40:31.720 --> 01:40:36.119
filed for Chapter eleven and struck a
deal to sell itself to creditors. Vice

1213
01:40:36.199 --> 01:40:41.880
has struggled in recent months as advertisers
cut their spending and directed more marketing to

1214
01:40:42.000 --> 01:40:46.720
social media platforms like Facebook and TikTok. Vice discontinued its TV news show and

1215
01:40:46.840 --> 01:40:50.840
cut more than one hundred workers last
month. This is the week the TV

1216
01:40:51.039 --> 01:40:56.800
networks present their fall programs to advertisers. The networks sell much of their commercial

1217
01:40:56.880 --> 01:41:01.000
inventory during the so called upfronts.
The annual ritual is complicated this year by

1218
01:41:01.039 --> 01:41:05.800
the Hollywood Writers strike. Picket Lines
are likely outside the New York City venues

1219
01:41:05.880 --> 01:41:11.279
where shows are previewed for the media
buyers, and the walkout means the networks

1220
01:41:11.359 --> 01:41:14.560
may not be able to deliver some
shows in time for the start of the

1221
01:41:14.600 --> 01:41:18.199
fall season. There will be no
Tony Awards telecast next month the Writer's Guild

1222
01:41:18.239 --> 01:41:24.199
refuses to grant a waiver to the
producers. Rising wheat prices could mean further

1223
01:41:24.439 --> 01:41:28.439
food inflation, a drought, and
key growing regions in the plains among the

1224
01:41:28.520 --> 01:41:33.079
reasons that whet wheat prices are climbing. There's also uncertainty about the war in

1225
01:41:33.279 --> 01:41:38.239
Ukraine and what that's going to mean
to wheat, and from the Everything Old

1226
01:41:38.399 --> 01:41:42.319
Is New Again file casey, a
lot of young consumers are buying things with

1227
01:41:42.560 --> 01:41:45.800
cash. A Credit Carmist survey found
that gen Zers, these are eighteen to

1228
01:41:45.920 --> 01:41:49.479
twenty six year olds, have found
that cash helps them budget their money and

1229
01:41:49.560 --> 01:41:55.800
avoid credit card interest charges. USA
Today says more young people are cash stuffing,

1230
01:41:56.199 --> 01:41:59.680
that is, they set aside cash
for various purchases at the start of

1231
01:41:59.720 --> 01:42:03.199
each month and they don't exceed the
allotments casey oh, do you mean the

1232
01:42:03.319 --> 01:42:09.560
Dave Ramsey envelopes? Yeah? Okay, all right, so we used to

1233
01:42:09.640 --> 01:42:12.520
use forty years ago, right,
yeah, exactly, all right, Thanks

1234
01:42:12.600 --> 01:42:16.720
Jeff, appreciate king. All Right, they go fifty five. I gotta

1235
01:42:16.760 --> 01:42:20.199
tell you, I was just uh, I was listening to Jeff, but

1236
01:42:20.520 --> 01:42:24.960
right as we were coming back from
break, I started reading a story I

1237
01:42:25.079 --> 01:42:31.439
have found the worst in its scenario
base like people will find you like this.

1238
01:42:31.640 --> 01:42:38.159
I think I have found the worst
way to go. In fact,

1239
01:42:38.279 --> 01:42:40.600
I you know what, I'm gonna
grab a phone call I. We're probably

1240
01:42:40.640 --> 01:42:45.880
gonna do this story tomorrow. This
has got to be the worst way to

1241
01:42:45.920 --> 01:42:48.319
go, though. Ross, I'm
gonna email you this story. I don't

1242
01:42:48.319 --> 01:42:50.199
want you to say anything about what
it is, but I want you to

1243
01:42:50.239 --> 01:42:55.920
look at it while I take this
call. Jake, what's up? Hey?

1244
01:42:56.119 --> 01:43:00.119
Uh? Talking about that fella who
died on the subway? Brother making

1245
01:43:00.199 --> 01:43:05.720
a statement. I mean, the
brother seems to watch the responsibility on everybody

1246
01:43:05.800 --> 01:43:09.760
else but himself. I mean,
why wasn't he sleeping on his couch?

1247
01:43:09.880 --> 01:43:15.800
Why wasn't he at him for food? I mean that well, I don't

1248
01:43:15.840 --> 01:43:17.720
know the full involvement of the family, and I look, I also recognize

1249
01:43:17.760 --> 01:43:21.439
this, or I recognize that there
are situations where because I literally I had

1250
01:43:21.479 --> 01:43:26.199
to deal with this within my own
family, where um, somebody's dealing with

1251
01:43:26.279 --> 01:43:30.439
addiction issues or mental health issues,
and regardless of how involved the family's willing

1252
01:43:30.520 --> 01:43:34.720
to get, um, they don't
want any piece of it. And you're

1253
01:43:34.760 --> 01:43:40.079
sometimes hamstrung if they're not doing things
where they appear to be a danger to

1254
01:43:40.159 --> 01:43:44.479
themselves or others, at least as
far as authorities are concerned. However,

1255
01:43:44.800 --> 01:43:50.720
in in you know, in hindsight's
twenty twenty, that's absurd. But family

1256
01:43:50.760 --> 01:43:56.239
members are grieving, So I don't
know, but I share your curiosity.

1257
01:43:56.359 --> 01:43:59.399
How's that? Yeah, yeah,
I have a good friend he's the same

1258
01:43:59.479 --> 01:44:01.760
way, but I want to accommodate
him. But if he dies on the

1259
01:44:01.840 --> 01:44:05.880
street, I understand. Yeah,
yeah, it's well, it's sad,

1260
01:44:06.640 --> 01:44:11.239
it really is. This was allowed
to finish her and go on and had

1261
01:44:11.279 --> 01:44:15.159
all of these instances, and because
you know, it's inevitably, I gotta.

1262
01:44:15.319 --> 01:44:17.359
I have a buddy I used to
hang out with when I lived in

1263
01:44:17.439 --> 01:44:23.079
Minnesota who whenever he drinks, he
gets really mouthy and I just you just

1264
01:44:23.279 --> 01:44:26.239
know the dude's gonna get punched at
some point, right, gonna be in

1265
01:44:26.319 --> 01:44:29.840
a bar, He's gonna right,
it's the inevitability of it. Everyone can

1266
01:44:29.920 --> 01:44:32.279
see it coming. And sure enough
Mike could get punched, although Mike like

1267
01:44:34.600 --> 01:44:39.119
right, right, But my point
is everyone around him knew what was up

1268
01:44:39.880 --> 01:44:42.159
to the point where I didn't.
I didn't want to hang around the dude

1269
01:44:42.199 --> 01:44:45.079
anymore because he was just a lightning
rod for Bs, thanks for the call

1270
01:44:45.159 --> 01:44:48.960
there, Jake, with nearly everyone
around him may know what's up. Eventually,

1271
01:44:49.039 --> 01:44:51.479
something bad's gonna happen. He's gonna
screw it the wrong person, He's

1272
01:44:51.479 --> 01:44:55.720
gonna attack somebody. He may take
it further when he was trying to grab

1273
01:44:55.840 --> 01:44:59.960
people, and uh so you can
you can see it on the horizon.

1274
01:45:00.199 --> 01:45:05.439
And what do you think, Ross? Have you ever seen that movie Balls

1275
01:45:05.439 --> 01:45:14.479
the Fury? Yes? Oh no, oh no, oh no. I

1276
01:45:14.560 --> 01:45:15.560
feel like we got to do the
story tomorrow. I mean that is a

1277
01:45:15.600 --> 01:45:20.680
headline, that's the thing. Huh. How'd you like that in your obituary?

1278
01:45:23.039 --> 01:45:29.159
Absolute legend us something, it's something, and it's absolutely going to be

1279
01:45:29.239 --> 01:45:31.079
on the show tomorrow. So we'll
see then have a good one,
