I mean, I know there's only two. Do we have to do both
of them in their in their totality? Is that what we are across is
indicating we do oh Man, Happy Thursday, everybody CaCO Day radio program.
And two is one shy of the loneliest number said three Dog Knight. Well,
actually I didn't write this song. But two more shows next week off
the whole week. This is your daily reminder because I noticed that it's like
right at like two minutes after the show gets going, if we're not on
the air, or it's a fill in host, or it's your favorite show
out of New York or any of the rest, that's where I get bombarded
with emails. And that's cool. So I just want to make sure that
everybody knows, because everybody here knows show side right, like it's locked into
our brains. Ross has a big Jerry. He got the old Jerry's kid,
Jerry's Kid's tally board put in his I don't know where, I don't
know the deal he swung. So he's got this huge It blinds you of
a of a tally board and it's it too, and all it does is
countdown vacation days. So and then blinks. Really, something from Guantanamo,
if we're being serious, is what they should use it for. But yes,
two shows, two shows they got it doesn't make noise, Okay,
all right, properly informed. Ross. Do you think there's enough times I
could say on the show where we wouldn't get email? Probably not, huh
no, Probably there's there's gonna be like that one person who has no idea
there I would listen for a year. Let's tune in. Oh my gosh,
what happened? Dude? Where do you get a tallyboard that big?
You use it just for this? It's the whole wall. It's crazy A
telling you, man. I just I'm sitting here and I was going through
a bunch of like little we call them kicker stories. I've explained this this
morning. I just really I don't want any more politics this week, and
it's nothing but politics. The presidents in San Francisco hanging out with his bestie,
and Gavin Newsom's up there and they're doing their thing, and Jesu Ping
had a parade and it didn't have missiles and it didn't run over anyone with
the tank as best I could tell. And then I'm like on Saturday,
we were having a parade for the Raleigh Christmas Parade for like the eightieth time,
and and we can't even have we can't even have a big wheels or
whatever that thing is. The kids right around in the Barbie car and the
jeep that's got a battery in it, right, no motorized vehicles. And
I'm looking at vacation and I look at that and I just get very,
very very depressed with this stuff. But you know what, I found a
way to turn it all around today. So yeah, yeah, we're gonna,
We're gonna, we're gonna. We're gonna cope right on the show.
But unfortunately I do have to start in San Francisco. Here comes a dictator,
Here comes a dictator. Commune is some rules, clean up the streets,
can't count the homeless news some such a tool, Hey, taxpayer,
no one cares that you live with that every day. But when the overlord
comes into town, we'll hidle those people who wait. Yeah, all right,
so that's our little little bumper intro. Let's go ahead and get into
it and buy into it. I mean, not at all. While Biden's
national security advisors sitting next to him and giving him these eyeballs, for lack
of a better word, giving him a look while he's trying to talk to
the President of China at this press conference. Well, mister President, it's
good to see you again. We've spent many hours together over the last ten
or twelve years, and to host you in the United States has in great
honor and a pleasure. Okay, Anthony Blinking. I'm sorry, I said
Sanctary of State Anthony Blincoln whatever. I referred to him as security advisor.
So yeah, So, so Biden's doing his thing blink and sitting next to
him, and I'm you know, it's just it's just so not exuding power.
Would that be a good way to describe it. By the way,
this is the wrap up. You got the press there and the last thing
after that, whatever that performance was from Biden that they want with wide eyed
Blinken sitting there, which is kind of ironic. His name is Blinken and
he's wide eyed. I don't know, just ipons I guess who's screaming louder
the journalists trying to ask questions about I don't know, Weiger genocide, flying
a blue and spine over half of the half of our country and various very
important military bases, the thousands of daily cyber attacks that we put up with,
like setting a submarine trap in the straight north of the Philippines there south
of Taiwan, which is for us. Let's just be clear, that's for
us. That's because China wants to have complete control of the totality of the
China Sea, which is why they made those fake islands so they could pretend
and argue that well, two hundred miles off of the coast of those fake
islands we just made by putting sand on reefs, coral reefs, that's an
island. That's ours, and now it's all ours. They just happened in
their subway trap to you know, capture one of their own subs. Those
are for us. Meanwhile, we're moving uh Roxboro full of hoboes off the
street and glad handing this dude over here. People are gonna have questions,
right, Well, let's see who's louder. The people who should have questions
are those whose job it is to make sure those questions never happens. How
preschool does this sound? By the way, this is how you manage Am
I wrong here? Look, I don't have I don't have. Isn't that
how you manage preschoolers or kindergarteners kids? Right, that's how you manage children.
Right? If I wanted to move all, what do you call a
a group of kids? This group? Is it a collective? Is it
a pod? Is it a murder? That's probably appropriate? What is it?
Is it a gaggle? Is it a gaggle of kids? I don't
even know. I don't even know what the technical term is. It's not
a kit. Anyways, you got it. You got a bunch of kids
and they're just sitting there. All they all got some sort of upper respiratory
thing that they're going to pass to Ross's kid and then Ross will get it,
and then I'll get it and then everybody. But I need to move
these kids, okay, I need to migrate them from one room to the
other. And they got questions because they're kids, it's what they do.
They ask questions. Why? Why? That's how you do that, right?
You just keep a monotone continued push forward. Am I wrong on this?
Because look, I've dealt with and there's a voice in there and I
understand it doesn't really it's a life experience thing. There's a voice of one
of the staffers kind of in the middle there, who go the guy who
goes thanks press, And let me tell you, there's always one of those
d bags in any big politician's Swiss army knife. They will be. They
are the person that you will think about after you're like, I wonder if
that person has contact with other people, because there's no way anybody likes them.
I think that person's parents probably disowned them because they're just the just the
most off putting individuals, usually providing that upper tier gatekeeper shamelessness, and dude
leans right in on it. And as somebody who has covered in person trying
to talk to politicians and others who have one of these guys, you just
wanna you just wish they were sick that day? Is that fair? Okay?
But this is arguably the most important press push, right. These are
the people who cover the president. This is the Chinese president. All of
the things that I just reminded you of have transpired since he last was here,
and nobody can ask a question. Come on, man, I believe
is what our president would say. Right, So yeah, get what do
they accomplish? Nothing? I'm sure they spent a lot of money though,
So there you go. I promised an update to round up whatever. There
it is, as promised, now delivered. Now we can do fun stuff.
Okay, not all fun, but necessary. I'll give you a rundown
coming up. CaCO Day Radio program WPTI in the Triad and six one FM
Talk and the Triangle. All right, good morning, and welcome into six
twenty three here on the KCODA radio program phone number eight eight eight nine three
four seven eight seven four. And we had things rocking and rolling this morning,
all right, So yeah, little Christmas parade stuff there and see lottery
new I am super inspired by this, by the way. I think this
is great. I know we could do this. Apparently we can do this,
and I'm gonna I'm gonna take full advantage. So just just know that
and then we'll we'll get into the story here in just a just a few
minutes. Let me let me hit on this though, since I was just
talking about Biden. Here we go. So even though Biden's in San Francisco,
he's hanging out with Newsome, who's totally not trying to run a presidential
quasi presidential campaign against him. Angi Jianping right, We've had a few Chinese
incidents. I mentioned that I would hope that there are topics of discussion at
the very least. Meanwhile, over on the campaign side of things, Biden's
campaign now now people are making it sound like this is the first time that
something like this is. It's not is this is very This is very typical
where a campaign may send a letter to the media and it may be about
how the media does things. Maybe it wasn't always very typical, but we've
seen it Trump. The Trump people used to do it, and then the
media it would just make him so mad, and then they'd write some about,
ah, can you believe this happened, and then they would ignore that
Barack Obama really did it. And then Joe Biden does it too. But
we all understand the double standard. So in this case, the Biden White
House was ramping up criticism for the New York Times. Actually, so they
published a poll. Here's the here's the poll, or and this is New
York Times Sienna who did the poll, and the poll said that the biggest
takeaway is just seven percent of people pulled by The New York Times said it
would be very good or somewhat good if Biden was reelected, and it also
showed Trump eating Biden in five of six of the swing states. Now,
it's a poll. Take it for what it's worth, and if you don't
trust it at all, I wouldn't blame you. But it irritated the White
House. So the Biden campaign put out a reminder to the media and kind
of leaned in a little to the New York Times. Quote for the political
press corps, especially our friends at the Gray Lady New York Times, it's
time to meet the moment and responsibly inform the electorate of what their lives might
look like if the leading GOP candidate for president is allowed back in the White
House. Okay, I guess we've settled on this. You've probably if you've
been paying any attention over the last week, you've seen so the narrative now
from Biden, Pelosi said, Hillary said this during an interview last week,
and a few others, and it's all on point. Right, They're all
in lockstep. If you will elect Donald Trump, he's gonna and and he
gets in there, he's gonna come back and quote let's see here. Well,
yeah, I'm gonna have to dumb it down. Because it's very,
very long. He's an extremist, he wants to put people in camps,
he wants to use the Department of Justice to go after his political enemies.
And if you elect him, you let him back in there. This is
what's going to happen. So please, please, you're the press. You
can't let this happen. And that's the letter that they sent. And again
I talked about how Trump's people, trumpt people will almost send a tongue in
cheek because they know what the response was gonna, you know, was actually
gonna be. But if that's your narrative going into this, uh, you
know, we're where it's it's it's Trump but instead of you know, Biden
at the red speech, it's Trump there and he's jailing political opponents and like
the projection is over the top, and that has seemingly been what they've they've
settled on. So there you go. One O six one f M Talk
and w pt I two stations driving the best end talk. This is cacy
O Day and Carolina's Morning News. All right, good morning, and welcome.
It is the cac O Day Radio program. Phone number eight eight eight
nine three four seven eight seventy four. I just realized something. Rosside glanced
at my call ster did the call streamer update? Because it looks different?
Why I saw a call I'm in earlier? So no, none of my
end. I'm still running like the first version of the studio. You might
have like an updated version, but I'm still running like the Yeah, I
had a bunch of updates. That was the whole problem yesterday when I was
having issues at the end of the show. This one is three point five.
I don't know. Uh, put the We're gonna do this on the
air. Put the pot down on the phone, please, all right?
And all right, okay, well I guess you didn't have to because the
way I did it, all right, well still works. So I just
glanced glanced over there. I'm like, why does that look slightly different?
That's uh, that is nightmare fuel around here. All right, let me
get over to this because I know some of you are just gonna be heartbroken,
and I have some questions, to be quite honest, Chuck E Cheese.
I was trying to think about the last time I was out a Chuck
E Cheese and not the parking lot, because there's a shopping center just by
the radio station Chuck E Cheese, and they also had a pizza buffet for
a while and I went over there, and then they have one other store
that I've been to, but that was the other than having to slowly drive
through that portion of the parking lot, which is terrifying, right, do
you know? You don't want to run over a kid. And if a
kid's in a parking lot at Chuck E Cheese and they know they're going to
Chuck E Cheese, they may not wait for mom to hold their butt,
so gotta be very careful in those instances. But luckily I did not,
you know, smear a kid in there, So that was it. That
was my last Chuck E Cheese and it was on the outside visit, so
I have no idea what it looks like inside. Haven't been in one,
probably since I was a kid. Didn't know. However, Chuck E Cheese
has announced that the band, the Animatronic Band. Do they have these in
all of them? I guess is my question first, But now it won't
matter. Chuck E Cheese has announced that the band is no more YEP.
In fact, Chuck E Cheese has announced it only at their flagship location in
which is in the la area where it's actually it's a really it's a much
bigger version of what you see in the other ones. Will the band continue
to form, making it quote a perform making it a destination of sorts?
However, the appetite of the public for animatronics has apparently waned. Is that
still a thing? I can't even remember. When I was a kid,
we watched the Animatronic band and why would you do it? In the same
time? That isn't that there's a whole movie out right now about animatronics.
Obviously it's a little darker, right five And I just said Freddy's thing.
But do they still do the band the thing? And do the kids give
a crap? Because I guess I could see where kids are not. That
was probably more exciting than in the eighties When I was a kid. In
the eighties it was magical. Yeah, yeah, No, obviously in the
eighties it's incredible nowadays. Then the one up in New York Cup in Albany,
you could like go under the stage. I don't know if every Chuck
E Cheese was the same way, but you could go under the stage where
they were performing, and it was super cool. Were they all the souls
of trap dead children? I mean it was just like amazing the stage.
But I'm no, I'm sure there was some trap souls under there, but
I never encountered them. So oh, okay, that's good. Yeah,
usually the kids tend and I get the brunt of it the adults do.
So that's that timing thing. Didn't let you under the stage. Yeah,
it was super cool, But then you're like, ah, they're not real,
right, didn't it ruin it? No? No, no, like
you couldn't. You couldn't see anything part of it. It was just like
separate, like they were on top of the stage. I'm not sure at
work black magic voodoo, which got no idea. Yeah, but under the
stage, it was just like harpeted and nice for kids, and it was
like amaze under the stage. I vaguely remember going to Chuck e Cheese.
Look, we didn't. I didn't going to be shocked to learn we didn't
have a Chucky Cheese where I grew up. So to go to a Chuck
e Cheese required you to be traveling for a variety of other reasons, and
I remember vaguely going to some Chucky cheeses over the years, but I couldn't
tell you. Yeah, most of my most of my Chuck E Cheese knowledge
now well, nowadays it's informed by parents beating each other and stuff. Right,
it's just the crazy. Didn't we just have some woman who assaulted a
kid with a ski ball at one of these like what a few months ago?
I guess maybe that wasn't a Chucky Cheese, but it was a Chuck
E Cheese want to be But like that's my extent to it. So I
don't know if they still do the anima trying well, they they're not going
to according to the company. And there's a interesting line in here. You
ready, Chuck E Cheese the top global family entertainment venue. This is USA
today. Does Chuck E Cheese do more revenue than Disney? I find that
incredibly hard to believe the Chuck E Cheese pulls more? Is the top Chuck
E Cheese is the top global family entertainment venue, which you know, there's
a little parsion of words there, but you know, Disney would would easily
qualify globally as a family entertainment venue. Is Chuck E Cheese really making more
bank than Disney? I have no idea. I mean, we took Lincoln
once before the autism diagnosis, like a long time ago, and I walked
in there. My first thought was, Wow, Chuck E Cheese has fallen
off. Because back in the eighties, like I said, it was an
event and it was different. It was every other commercial on Saturday morning.
Everything about it was different. I can compare it to because you haven't been
there in a long time. Remember, like pizza Hut back in the eighties
and early nineties was the event, and it was the lighting, and it
was the fixtures, the salad bar, quality, the red cops, all
of it was different. It was like the like stained glass brown yea thing
over when you walk into a pizza hut, it's nothing like that. Everything
looks completely different. The vibe is, the look is different. The hut
get the hut whatever they call it, now completely there. It's not the
same place. It's the same sort of thing that's happened to Pizza Hut.
Where you walk in you're like, this is not what I had during my
childhood, and it's not because like you're older now and you're bigger, and
it looks different. The entire vibe, the lighting, the quality, everything
is different. So it's just it's just turned into I am kids room at
like a car dealership, right, yeah, not he's kind of shove him.
No really, Oh no, yeah yeah, it's very depressing. Well
Lake kids today will never know. I mean, look, there's obviously there's
got to be a significant cost with the animatronics, and I probably kids are
not fascinated by him anymore, which is why we got to get them AI.
That's what I'm saying. What do you think Ross we get some consultants
gigs the chip in the kids' heads? No, yeah, absolute monster,
you work on that side. I'm gonna get the AI, but I'm going
to get the old Microsoft Chat AI into the rat band. What do it?
Do? You know? What if you did it up in the upper
upper Northeast right now where they would just blend in, wouldn't they You're telling
me some big animatronic rat playing a xylophone telling you that Hitler did nothing wrong,
It wouldn't blend in. So can you teach a course at Harvard Columbia?
Yeah? And then and and by the way, the press release would
be unbearable, right, can they be? Like? After years of ANTII
rat they would they would openly advertise traps and poison on the air for killing
He's broken through the cheese ceiling and is now is now what would he tea?
What would the rat teach at at Columbia or Harvard? Probably probably like
lesbian poetry theory or something. You have to be super woke because they're already
doing the press. The press release would be amazing. But yes, it
would have to also, much like uh Microsoft's chat former chat AI, would
have to be wildly anti semitic if it wanted to fit in. Do you
know, literally, after everything that happened at Harvard, over a hundred d
Harvard faculty signed a letter basically saying the same thing the kids did that got
them. The little billboard truck buzzing around Colombia is actively suspending student groups.
And I saw some people going, well, you know, now the right
is reaping exactly what it is that they said was wrong. And I guess
in a long view sense, there's that. But also I don't think that
the rights position, and somebody can correct me if I'm wrong, I don't
believe the rights position was necessarily Now Harvard's interesting in the sense that obviously it's
not publicly funded, and many of these schools aren't. However, there is
the you know, there are public dollars that flow in there for a wide
variety of reasons, so you know whether and and then there's scholarships that come
from outside organizations that have to decide whether that's a place where they want money
flowing into. So a lot of there's gonna be a lot of stakeholders outside
of just the board running stuff there. But it's two very different approaches.
Because I think Columbia all of their a bunch of their really really rich alumni
said screw you, you're not getting any money. Harvard apparently doesn't care about
that, and it's probably because they have the largest endowment of any university in
the world, and it's not even close, not even close. They would
not they could, they could in perpetuity just based on their endowment. They
could fund the education of a full slate of kids every year in perpetuity and
never skip a beat. So that's what we call, you know, screw
you money, although sometimes we say it more aggressively. How did I get
here? From Chuck? Well? Anyway, the animatronics are gone, are
gonna be gone here pretty quick unless you want to go to where is the
north Ridge, California. So it's not even in a good part of LA.
It's in the part that about every thirty years a big earthquake happens and
everyone everyone's cars get destroyed. So have fun. That's it's definitely on brand,
all right? Eight eight eight nine three four seven eight seven four.
Did somebody just correct me? They're not all rats? Is that true?
Are they not all rats in the in the in the Chuck E Cheese band?
I'm sorry, I didn't know that Ross. Is that true? Oh?
Yeah, no, they're not all rats. I don't even know if
I said they were all rats. I think I just it conjured this image
of a rat playing the xylophone. And now I'm getting people like that wasn't
Keith Moon. Keith Moon was dead by then, and it was now this
guy right. Oh dear god, there's a whole trackable wiki article about I
just I don't have the energy. Here's what I know about Chuck E Cheese
one. When there was a kid too. I believe Ross he saw it
as a kid, he saw it as an adult. It changed, and
it wasn't just because little Ross and Big Ross's brains were different. I could
see them streamlining it. I also know that it was one of the funniest
things that I saw during the pandemic when Chuck E Cheese decided to create what
was it Pasqually's Pizza or whatever in like every town in America where they had
a Chuck E Cheese and people would blindly order the pizza not knowing it was
Chuck E Cheese, thinking oh, there's a new place called Pesquali's and it
was just Chuck E Cheese pizza coming to you. And they wrote like a
whole article about how they're horrible, and I'm like, you're paying eight dollars
for a cheese pizza, so you know, are you are you getting what
you you expected to get for eight dollars? And it was during the like
a plague, so yeah, I mean, imagine being able to order pizza
during the you know, the black teth Yes, that was not no.
The only they had they had carts with you know, uh delivery guys,
and they were delivery they were takeaway guys. They also had rats back then
too, just little ones or I mean they were all over the place.
Oh, I don't know if they were in a band though, may well,
it was probably pre band, right, they're bands were bands, weren't
even invented. Then they're just then one day they're like, hey, man,
you know we we harmonized well and we killed all those people, so
we should probably we need to change our image. And so then they made
music. All right, I'm looking at a picture here. Wow, okay,
well that's a rat. That's Chucky's a rat. The drummer just looks
like a dude. There's a duck is that disco duck cheerleader thing? And
then whatever, it looks like a dinosaur playing keyboard. I'm so confused,
man. All right, well, thank you for correcting me on my chucky
cheese inside the you know, behind the music whatever. Who we're doing here?
Nobody cares. You just can't go see him anymore, okay unless you
go to La all right, six forty nine, hang on, all right,
welcome back. It is six fifty six. Man, A bunch of
our listeners are chucky. I was enthusiast is the wrong word for these emails.
My goodness had to go there for a birthday party a few weeks back,
hadn't been there in twenty five years. No band They even brought the
rat out so the workers made him want to be Mickey's ugly cousin trying to
hug kids, and it just was weird. Wow, is it weird because
you're an adult now, or is it weird because like once you once you
reach adulthood, there's like in your brain even though the person inside that costume
is probably a fine you know, just doesn't want to be there anyway,
but it's not going to do anything. You just assume as a murderer.
The entire experience is weird because you're comparing it to what you know it used
to be and you're like, what is this? Yeah, no, it's
fair man. Look like I said, we didn't have Chuck e Cheese was
a kid, obviously, but we had. I keep thinking, the name
is North Starts, It's long gone. It was something along those. It
was a play on that because the joke was don't if you're gonna go to
North whatever it was, don't screw up and go to Northern Dreams because Northern
Dreams was on the other side of the freeways north of Casper, Wyoming,
and it's a strip club and that's where you go to see people. You
went high school with a few years after you were in high school, not
name and names, so AnyWho, that was the jam and if you got
to go there. But it was big. It wasn't just like you know,
the sub basement of a shopping center like the one uh north of the
Raleigh station. Here. It was like it was like, what's the one
with the go karts and the batting cages and stuff. Frankie's right in Raleigh
up there. That's that was the but this was but the inside was even
bigger. Man and I probably because the whole state had to go to that
one. So yeah, I'm sorry you had to suffer through that surge.
Yeah, they make a ton of money. How come there's no marketing.
How do we get the teenage mutant Ninja Turtles? They never did one with
them, And actually I do remember teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and their pizza deals.
There's actually a really crazy advertising story surrounding that because obviously that was a
no brainer, right, Well they thought so, and I'll probably share that
a little more when we get back. So hang up, all right,
good morning everybody, and happy Thursday. This is so annoying me. I
got to reshuffle my whole list of times Roy Cooper annoyed me. The current
lead was the mask hanging off the year, but that was more of a
vibe for the times right where it's just like, you can't do what you
can You sit in your car in a parking lot away from other people and
hear the you know, somebody read from the Bible. No, you can't
do that, could I march with a bunch of protesters who about an hour
and a half from the time this photo's taken, are going to go burn
Casey's CBS down. I mean, I didn't own it, but did go
there, and just the idiot gaggles seal of reporters when you hear what I
don't want to ruin a moment of it. Ross is working on it right
now. Okay, you'll understand, you'll understand why this has saturated my brain
a little bit, a lot bit. By the way, we'll get to
that here in just a moment. So just lastly, the whole Chuck E
Cheese thing, I was I had no idea the amount of money they're pulling.
They got to be crushing Disney. It's just a it's just a locations
game at that point. Look because we're just talking about you know, in
person visitation, you only got two Disney's here in the US. You got
what seven Disney's in the world or something. Chuck E Cheese. Chuckie Cheese
isn't just in the US, by the way, I don't know if I
want to go to the chuck E Cheese in Guadalajara though maybe it's nice,
don't know. But no, the teenagers. So the only reason that email
I thought was interesting is so the teenage Bean and Ninja Turtles thing and pizza
sponsorships is actually it's like a cautionary tale in the world of advertising, there
was a thing. So this goes back to when they first This goes back
to my childhood when when they first got big. Right, So nineteen ninety
is when you had the first movie that came out. You obviously had the
cartoon tune, all of that, and at that time, if you were
doing pizza, you were scrambling to go and be the official pizza of the
teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Right, they pizza kids loved them. You want
kids to beg their parents to go to your pizza place, right, And
so Dominoes actually got in there first, so Dominoes was able to snag the
very first sponsorship and was utilized obviously in the movie. However, and this
is the this is the behind the scenes part. What Dominoes neglected to do
is sign a contract that had exclusivity. So they spent whatever they spent,
probably you know, fifteen to twenty million at the time, which was a
crap ton of money for something like that to be in the movie and be
the official But for whatever reason, when they negotiated the contract, they failed
to receive exclusivity, and then they acted like they didn't realize that, so
they just looked dumb. And the way they found out is right after the
movie got released, all of a sudden, Pizza Hut commercials were jammed all
up in marketing promotion for the cartoon and just the brand in general, and
Dominoes went, hey, what the hell is this and they're like, well,
it wasn't in the contract. Did you not read the contract? So
that was a whole thing. That was a whole bit. I think there
was lawsuits and everything over it, and then from there, I think they've
worked with Pizza Hut for everything else including that. Didn't they just had a
movie that came out here, but twenty ten or something. I think that
that was a Pizza Hut tie in, but no, it was never a
Chuck e Cheese. But yeah, man, that's a license to print money.
And it's one of our emailers. It it's like a kid's casino,
and I think that is wholly accurate. Man. And we love our gambling.
How much do we love our gambling? You ready for this? The
North Carolina Lottery is now offering a no scratch digital instant that you can play
on your computer, your smartphone, your iPad, your mobile, at whatever.
Never have to go and stand in line and point at the number that
you want in the little plastic rollie box, or have awkward conversations with the
clerk who doesn't want to doesn't want to help you handicap How all of them
are doing? Maybe some do, some of them get into it. But
right you've we've all stood in line in North Carolina somewhere, and I'll tell
you the place arrives. I see this on the regular is the the BP
station over by the waffle house across from the turn end of the Raleigh station.
That's uh. They do a lot of lot and I've been in there.
I just want to I just want to water or I want, you
know, one damn thing, and somebody's got an envelope full of scratchhots they're
cashing in and they then want to have a conversation, Well, how did
you see any winners come out of roll number three or number seven or any
of it. But you know it's for the kids. It's for the kids
while they are offseted in general budgeting, so it doesn't accomplish what was promised
anyway, So you know, they got to do more. And and by
the way, the Education Lottery in North Carolina, which that's its name,
so don't berate me. Why are you using that word, because that's the
name. I use it ironically a little. He is one of the most
successful per capita of any lotteries in the United States. The North Carolina Lottery
does very well, but there's always more. They did the keynote thing a
few years ago, and now we have digital instance, no more going there
standing in line, getting yourself a lottery ticket, getting a coin of some
sort and doing the scratch Now you just go to the website. You got
to basically give them all of your information. Ever ever, ever, But
it's for your own safety. I just want you to know that. Yes,
that's right. The games which work like slot machines with a minimum ticket
play of fifty cents and then you have to pick how many you play.
I'm not you do your thing top prizes one hundred and fifty thousand, but
they want you to know that they're gonna put some limits on there. Okay,
then they don't want you going crazy, so they will cap the amount
the players can wager each day at five hundred and five dollars. It says
a week two thousand, so well that's not comporting with per day, so
I'm not sure exactly how that works. So it's five h five a day,
but once you hit I guess just shy of four days. If you
do the whole thing, that's too and then a month is four thousand.
So yeah, so they don't want you to go crazy. But other than
that, yeah, just gamble on this wholly, untethered, not connected to
anything digital representation that tells you whether you get your money back or not on
their on their website, which I got. I gotta tell you, man,
we're in the wrong business. We are in the wrong business. This
sounds so lucrative. I've decided to start my own digital instant lottery. Hey,
Ross, you want to buy a lottery ticket, buddy, but the
top prize a top prize two hundred and fifty thousand actually better in North Carolina
lottery. It's uh, there's not a physical ticket. So but if you
want to buy one, just you just give me twenty dollars. Just for
twenty dollars, twenty bucks. That's a good deal. You could win two
hundred and fifty. Don't play it all great, right, play responsibly?
No, I know it sounds great, man. Yeah, yeah, no,
here's here's twenty bus five five okay, go five, all right,
let's go. We'll take all right, So you have fifteen jo boom boom,
all right, no whammies. Right here we go on my new thing.
Here it's got Oh that's a shame. I'm sorry. You just got
fifteen left and the top prize is two hundred and fifty thousand dollars. Five
more. Yeah, I know, I love to go again. Yeah,
but we buy. Yeah, here, let's go, we go. You
might be able to break even right here, here's ah super fast. Well
look, you can't. Everything can't be a winner. Yeah, well digital,
right, it's it's here now. It's extreme. At least before when
I lost, we take a while. You have to scratch it off.
In this you have to go the ticket and right you had the physical go
there and get the thing and then go to your car. And you know
what, I'm feeling it down to my plums. I think I'm gonna win
again. All right, where's what you need to do? Put? You
were betting too small? Okay, you got ten less, I gotta go
bigger. Let it ride, yes, go all right? All ten?
Yeah? I love it? All right, here we go Casey's Digital Instant
Lottery Ross. Good luck, buddy. Oh no, that's too bad anyway?
Can I can I buy more gems? Please? I'm sorry, sir,
you need to leave the established Well, don't leave, because you got
to run the show. But no, you can't buy more gems. Are
you implying that this sounds a little like the pricing scheme or perhaps the addicted
tapping into the addicted, the addiction that is things like the jewel Yeah,
bit a little bit, okay, all right? You think they know that
those things are addictive? Well, the people with that addictive gene, they
they put limits in there, right, so you're addictive gene under I guess
your Social Security number can only go uh, you know, only spend four
thousand of your family's money per month. I love how that's the limit they
put on it. Like it's only two thousand dollars a week for like,
you know, a regular everyday person that might be like they're right, their
take home pay. Yeah, for like two weeks or or a month.
Yeah, so thank god that put a limit safety net there. Well,
that's the safety net for one identity, right, because I mean really really,
if you Ross Hayes want to go rble, you can do four for
you, four for the wife, and probably not for the boy, but
who knows, maybe the software is defuncted one for the boy. I feel
good just knowing they care. Thank you for the twenty that's this is for
the kids. So I found like twenty bucks. I feel this is the
one. Can we try one more time? I want to go one more
time? I can feel it. Ah, well, I did you notice
the button barther, I moved the one off. Nice. I still want
to go again. I don't care, I want to go again, all
right, all right, all right, yeah, go all you want all
twenty man, all right, get all right, all right, twenty yeah,
no, no, no, no, we're going in. It's gone.
Dude. You were so close. Do you see The things with the
flashy lights were almost flashy next to each other. What are we doing other
than making me forty bucks for the kids, for the kids. I'm telling
you, Ross, we're on the wrong side of this. We need our
own digital instance. Who's to stop us? I know what you're saying,
like, Oh, I don't know, law enforcement, the Attorney General,
Josh Stein, the cow petter. I don't think you pet that cow by
the way, yesterday whatever. I think he was terrified. Oh no,
the cow left. Oh man, Ross is out. Yeah you guys are
that was your food today? Right? I lost? The family's gone,
he said, escalated quickly. Yeah, it's very unfortunate, very unfortunate.
Yeah, it's two thousand dollars uh per per week, but unlimited cows apparently
that you can gamble, so good stuff. Good stuff. So that's the
thing. There you go, there's a there's another way to help the kids,
and not at all just financially offset. Isn't that called cryptocurrency? No?
No, not even ironically enough somehow it's just it's even creepier. How
is this any different than the quote illegal poker machine. I'm with you,
sir. What's good for the goose is good for the gander. That's why
we started this new lottery endeavor here. And uh, you know, I
just showed you how well it works. Don't copy it. He come.
You know, if you call the show today, you get a free spin
on you got, but you got to call it for other stuff. We'll
give you a free spin. And by free I mean we'll map your five
dollars or twenty dollars with another twenty and then we'll spend so you're getting forty
dollars possibility. There. That's a little something we do for you because you
know we we love you. All right. That's only one of the Chuck
E Cheese animatronics good, all right, seven to twenty CAZy Otay radio program.
Yeah, that's their thing, all right. So what did Roy Cooper
do? Just get yourself a sip of coffee, a little tea, whatever,
you know, whatever floats your boat. This poor shot of whiskey.
I don't care, and I will tell you coming up here in just a
few minutes on the CaCO Day and Radio program. All right, good morning,
and welcome back. It is seven twenty six CaCO Day Radio program.
We want to be super duper annoyed. Oh we'll allow me. You know
that Governor of ours, Governor Roy Cooper, probably aware. Yeah, so,
uh, you all have been calling them the wrong name, the bunch
of dummies. I guess I'm actually on that list too. For no reason
that I can understand. This was a thing that took place during a press
conference this week, and I don't know why I find it so grading and
annoying, but I do. Cooper put the sound in between the C and
the P. We're hooked on phonics today, all right, Cooper. So
it's not ooh like Cooper, it's like foot. That's the That's so this
whole time, when you know, not just during his uh you know,
his time as governor, right, but also as Attorney General, as a
lawmaker in the General Assembly, the whole time, everyone's been calling in the
wrong name. Sure it is absolutely one, isn't that right? Ross hyas
hi yah, I was pronounced y yes, it's hi yes. And it's
not Joe Dirt, it's Joe Durte dirtk have we got to pete calendar or
no pet tase tomorrow, We'll fuck to petate tomorrow. This is one O
six one FM Talk in the Triangle and here's Talk ninety four to five w
PTI and the Triad. All right, good morning and welcome back. It
is seven point thirty five here on the ac O Day Radio program. For
some of you are alleging some stuff and you know, frankly you don't have
anything to back it, so better be careful. Libel a little slander,
little lawsuit, potentially just trying to raise money for kids and stuff. The
end stuff's important, and that's why I've opened my own digital virtual gambling to
compete with the North Carolina Lottery, who just announced they're going to do that
and not at all prey on people who whose addictions are so bad that they'll
spend one thousand dollars to make fruit lineup properly and jewels and anything else they
can make into a group of three four or more. Yes, digital digital
scratch offs. So I'm just I'm not I'm not an innovator in this sense.
I'm just going with the flow. Looked pretty profitable when I started started
checking it out, and sure enough I already got Ross's forty bucks. He
could have won. Maybe, I don't know. I mean, it's all
digital. It's very complicated. You wouldn't understand. But hey, better luck
next time. And that's you know, that's literally a thing that we're we're
dealing with here. So I'm just I'm just competition. Don't we like capitalism?
That's why we listened to this show. I am just competition. I'm
seizing the means back from the government, which creates its own weird dichotomy there,
all right, So we'll continue to maybe I can get his turkey money's
he's screening calls right now. We'll see if we can get because I'm I
think he's about to win. I got a feeling, you know. I
was just thinking too because and I don't know why. I know this is
the thing. I just happened to see it one day and I was blown
away by the number of views and followers this dude had. And then I
realized that there's a whole bunch of anytime there's one person doing something successfully on
YouTube, obviously there's gonna be a bunch of others. And I don't know
how this ended up in my recommended feed, But it was some dude who
just go down in Texas who just goes and buys lottery tickets and then scratches
them on YouTube and makes bank like he doesn't even care if he wins.
If I'm just doing the math on the views. Have you seen it?
Ross? Have you seen this? There's there's accounts where people get millions of
views scratching lottery tickets in their car. No, I've not seen that at
all. They'll go and they'll buy like the whole brick, right, that's
the thing, because that's a surprise though. I Mean there's so many like
there's unboxing videos and there's all this kind of stuff of sports card opening stuff.
So I'm not surprised that there's people that would sit now I wouldn't watch
it, but like people that would watch it and be like, oh my
god, is he gonna win? Is he gonna win? And then you
know you're excited because I guess you're invested in the personality that's opening up there
scratching up the tickets and you want to see their excitement and maybe you're living
vicariously through them or whatever. But are they running super weird they be.
Some of them got to be running, like you know, with the sports
card stuff. I actually dipped into a couple of those videos because I remember
being so fascinated about what they were charging for sports cards. And I had
to like educate myself because I just remember back when you and I were a
kid, right, if you go the gas station or go like where they
had a little where they did the Little League thing. They had like this
little roly concession stand and they would sell soda, hot dogs and baseball cards
and I always get a pack of cards for every game and they were not
expensive. And now you can get a pack of cards that is five hundred
dollars. I'm not exaggerating, by the way fat you can get. You
can get a card that's a card that's hundreds of dollars, and it's just
that's a lottery, man, that's a lottery. And they do designate it
like you know where it's a hobby or something. And I don't know all
the jargon, and don't overload me with it, but it got real real
fast. Yeah, they market these like expensive packs to adults, obviously grown
ups who because the probability is you're going to have a Lebron signature, or
at least you're you're chasing one. But you know, it's like people that
has children, had kids and teenagers collected these things and now they've brought into
adulthood and now they have the paycheck and they're so invested they some people might
pay that much. You talked recently about the Pokemon cards like that, Oh
yes, yes, yes, yes, yeah, the uh, the the
what was the one around his neck? Five million for the Jake Paul thing.
I remember hearing that, going, what are you talking about? But
I also remember being even as a kid, the story of the Honus Wagner,
right, is it Honus or Honess? I don't need people, I
don't need the governor calling and correcting us. But I remember, I remember
like that, you know, that was the holy grail of baseball cards,
and I just remember my greatest day. There were two of my greatest days,
ready, the first time eighty seven top ups where I got the whole
thing because for Christmas, my parents got me two boxes of cards, which
is incredible because you know, there's like twenty five packs in each box,
and I opened them and I was able to put the whole set together and
the other one was on one of those baseball games were playing. I pulled
the Bo Jackson that everyone wanted when everything was about Bo Jackson man, and
I was just I almost couldn't play. I was just so excited I got
it. And now it's like I paid five hundred dollars for these ten cards.
I'm like, oh my gosh, what are you doing? But hey,
it's your money, do what you want with it. That's why Ross,
I think I think you're right on the cusp of a win, Buddy.
I was looking into this. I think I think you know these machines
got You're feeling it for me? Yeah, okay, yeah, yeah,
I'll go. Look, I see I see that. Now that money the
stack over you said, that's for all your Thanksgiving stuff. You gotta go.
Yeah, a Thanksgiving meal. Yeah. But I mean, I'm running
the odds here, I'm king in the multi verse, run all the numbers
in the timelines, and I'm ready to go, And there's no possibly possible
way I could lose again, right if really, really, the only way
you lose is to not double up your Thanksgiving. But the only way to
lose is not to play. Isn't that how actually that's correct. Yes,
gotta be in it to win it. I believe was the California Lotteries for
a while. So, uh, why don't you take your your your Thanksgiving
fix's budget. Bring it on over here to Casey's digital instance and uh,
let's yeah, I'm ready. All right, you're ready. I want you
to have an amazing Thanksgiving. Wait here we go, and you're gonna have
a feast here. Oh, I got all the food going down my goal.
I can't wait. Yeah it's gone. What happens your family starve?
Oh? Man, the stuff and you could you can taste it in the
back of your mouth, right, I can for the kids. Thank you
for that. A digital instance. Man in the wrong business, and you're
pronouncing the governor's name wrong, you bunch of idiots. It's Coupe or it's
pronounced Cooper like coop. Someone in his family owned chickens or was a massive
coward, one of the two McFly And it's Cooper. So your name is
could stop trying to church it up. Do you remember when he first started
running and they they leaned into the hole hanging with mister Cooper thing. Yeah,
yeah, so you know what you this is you. This is not
me, this is this is a you problem. This is not a me
problem. And to be fair, Governor, I feel like many members of
my audience have not mispronounced your name because they don't refer to you as Governor
Cooper. They refer to you as other things. So there's that. But
yeah, I just on my big list of annoying things. Him with the
mask, walking around with the mask hanging off his year, that time he
stole Lincoln's kitten, Remember that that was annoying, and now this just obnoxious.
Man, Donna, what's up? Good morning, casey anything? Hold
on, hold on? Do you want to you want to play here?
Of course I want to. That was the second thing I wanted to ask.
I want chance. Okay, Well make your point then we'll insta chance
you so it's gonna come. Yeah. My point is that it's it's always
been Cooper like Cooper, but now it's ma'am like Ham. I don't know
what it is. I you know what, I'm just gonna you know what,
Let's just call him governor. Let's just call him governor kofifi okay,
and just be done with it is ma'am. Yes, yes, thank you,
thank you stop the person, all right, so uh now it's a
free spin, but it's a match twenty dollars free spend, so I need
twenty dollars. Put that up there, thank you. All right, it's
okay. You didn't want to eat or pay your bills today? Come on,
all right, here we go. You rich. You know what,
Ross's stuff so much money in this machine, it's got to pay off.
Here we go. All right, good luck, good luck, good luck,
and it's got Oh that's unfortunate. Oh I'm sorry. Yeah, now
you're gonna have to eat your cat, so sorry, not real happy guys.
Yeah yeah, yeah, well yours is gonna be happy for you,
not your cat. And obviously Ross's is gonna be terrible because he lost all
his family's money raced agic from the Weather Channel. He would never do anything
like that. No, dude, they're doing digital now. It's so lazy.
You can't even go to the gas station get a scratch off. Now
you go on your phone like it's a bejeweled app and and spend thousands of
dollars with that. So I started my own digital scratch offs. Do you
want to give me some money and try or sure, sure, feeling lucky.
Yeah, yeah, why don't you give me a ross? Just gamble
all his family's thanksgiving food money. So if you want to do that,
I would be fine. Well, you know, it doesn't make him a
bad guy, or doesn't. Maybe it does. No, he tried,
he tried to do something nice for the family. It just didn't. Disappointment
calling, all right, here we go. Let's fifty gets them? All
right? All right, all right, all right? I like where this
is gone. Look, people pumping this thing all morning. You gotta win.
It's gone. Oh, it's gone. It's sorry, it's gone.
No you well, look you want experience, you're more informed, You're like,
I'm not gonna fall for that again. Sure I learned not to come
back, right, but you will, like literally in an hour after this.
So let's dispense with the business. What's up, man? Yeah,
the business is good. We do have a rain chance could use it,
but it's not gonna be enough, certainly, not a race in deficits or
helping with anything. Uh not today though, lots of sunshine. If they're
in clouds, they'll go away. Upper sixties to low seventies. So nice
mild day too tonight close to fifty again, temperatures upper sixties to the lower
seventies tomorrow, maybe a little light rain with a front coming in which could
linger it too tomorrow evening, but the sun comes back and slowly cooling off
over the weekend, mid upper sixties and sunny Saturday, with a gusty breeze
a little mid thirty Saturday night, and then sunshine and low sixties on Sunday.
Next week, we may have a storm system to deal with that could
impact travel at least for the early to middle part of the week, maybe
through about Tuesday night. And not only here if you are traveling for the
holiday. You know, we could chat about some of those cities, you
know, New York and to the north, Chicago. These are areas that
may be impacted. So I'd say, certainly keep an eye on the weather
over the next couple of days for next week. All right, we will
do so. Do appreciate it, my man, have your s a good
one, and again, bring your money. See you in an hour,
we'll do. You're gonna win it all back. It's gonna be fine.
All right. There you go, race staging more hopeful than ever. Talk
all DAYPTI in the Triad and one six one FM talked in the Triangle.
All right, good morning seven point fifty two here on the Pcoday Radio pro.
This is great, absolutely great. So we it's just reveling the stupidity
we got going on this morning. I've started my own digital gambling empire,
which is great, working real well for me and that to compete now that
the state of North Carolina is gonna let you digitally gamble. Roy Cooper,
Yes that Cooper, the governor says, Hey, you've been saying his name
wrong the whole time. But put the sound in between the C and the
P. We're hooked on phonics today, all right, Cooper Cooper, shut
up. Then I get this email. This is great. Put you an
email from one of our listeners. Hey, I'm actually related to him,
and the name is pronounced the way it looks. Yes, it's it's because
it means barrel maker. We actually have our family's original Cooper's barrels making tools
getting framed. So you were right, Ross, You were right. It
is like a lot of names that were based on occupation, like smith is
you know, blacksmith and uh and and whatnot. So Cooper was barrel maker.
So like dudes, locked in. You know what he sounds. He
sounds like a pretentious freshman showing up for college and wanting to sound more mysterious.
Oh, it's so obnoxious, so obnoxious. But I guess when you
look, you're you're basically you're just there. Right. It's the lame,
the lamest of lame duck situations for him right now. You just got to
find things to make it interesting, you know what. You know what this
actually feels like. This feels like early YouTube drama that people would do to
get attention, and then then it morphed into much more crazy stuff where they're
like, I have neo pronouns now even though I'm your favorite singer and never
said anything before. It feels like a cry for help by Governor cup Cupper.
I can't even say it, Cooper, Cooper, I refuse to.
After today, I'm going to divorce this memory. Okay, all right,
thank you for that. But whatever, that's where we are so annoying.
All right? Eight eight eight nine three four seven eight seven four the phone
number you want to get on the show. Let's see here, all right,
we had one, now we have another a little different here, So
another video is emerged of another woman, this time on a Southwest Airlines flight,
which was headed to Kansas City. I guess she's having a meltdown.
Ish. I don't know everything that preceded this, but now women screaming on
planes following what happened on the American Airlines flight with you know that dude ain't
real Tiffany Gomez stuff that that obviously has started this. So I don't know
if she's taking what is already a situation where she's getting thrown off this plane
and trying to make it viral. I don't believe she's being human trafficked,
but there's some there's some rollover. Listen to part of it now. I
look, I hope she's not being human trafficked. And if she is,
I hope somebody said. But like, she's not ticking the boxes for who
I would think is being human trafficked because she's it's her, and she's older,
and she seems to have all of her stuff and some thoughts on some
stuff, and I just think she's really really pot and say, hey,
maybe I go viral, maybe I make money doing this. Is that that's
a really jaded thought. But I don't know that's outside the bounds of what
we see in pop culture today. So anyway, hey, Ross, we
got a new game over at the digital gambling parlor. It's you know,
if you understand the game, I think that's how you win. Because admittedly,
every time I start a slot machine, I have no idea what's going
on, but this one's going to be easy. So what you want to
do is you want to get three of various facets of North Carolinian life,
Like, uh, this game is based on people you see in downtown Raleigh.
So if you get like if you get three hobos at the bus stop
screaming while trying to bite their ear, that's a times ten and uh,
you can make you can make all your money back right away. Buddy,
I'm not thinking straight because I'm sort of hungry, and yeah, yeah,
I lost go around. I'm not sure if I should do this. Yeah,
so you want to get three hoboes trying to bite your ear or three
Antifa burning down my uh and my pharmacy. Here we go. Good luck.
By the way, No, I didn't even want to do it.
This is uh oh, this is your Christmas three money. No, it's
gone. That's so unfortunate. Where are the hoboes bite in the year you
had one job? Is that presence money over there? All right? Good
morning everybody, and welcome. It is our number three here on the cac
O Day radio program. So number eight eight eight nine three four seven eight
seven four. What a morning? What a morning around these parts? Oh
we have we've launched a very successful well, I have a gambling endeavor that's
going well. We're all learning how to pronounce the governor's name correctly. Yeah,
sure it is, Sure, that's it, Sure, that's it.
Just this Cooper put the sound in between the C and the P. We're
hooked on phonics today, all right, bringing this up now, well,
of course why not? So is the I guess if you were to phonetically
spell that would be that up. The inverted E would make that sound of
trying to remember, and they'd have the line. Is the line your wife's
middle finger that she puts the protesters'? Is that what that represents? I'm
very unclear, So uh, make sure you pronounce it correctly, or if
you think you might have trouble and you don't want to be disrespectful, come
up with another name. I'm sure some of you have. It'll be fine,
everything's fine. So yeah, check this out. Let's go ahead and
go down this road. So the BBC yesterday left out a really important word,
right, left out a really important word and basically change the story of
what Israeli defense forces were doing to the point where they were then actively accusing
them of a quote unquote war crime. So the BBC presenter falsely claimed not
once, but twice on the air that IDF had targeted medical teams as well
as Arabic speakers. This is important, right, So because the whole thing
is, there's this hospital. Is there a command structure under the hospital?
There is, by the way, And remember, our own people here in
the US are saying this. I don't even know that they're doing a good
job denying it really over there. And then like an hour later, the
President acted like he didn't know what his own people were saying. That's another
story for another day. But I think most people agree that it exists and
its sapping resources from the hospital. But like everything else, you know,
get you get information put out to you, and then there's trying to figure
out what's true and what's not is crazy, like the hospital has no power,
Well, there's there's video literally shot by ABC News where there's lights on.
So this is all so that that is the argument. Now, the
wor crime in and of itself is placing a military thing of any sorts,
any sort of military endeavor, be it a headquarters or a stockpile or storage
or training facility, whatever it is, inside a humanitarian target such as that
a school or a hospital. But the BBC decided to claim twice that the
IDF had targeted medical teams as well as Arabic speakers. And it's very specific
because it's very specifically inaccurate when you leave or change a word. An apology
from the BBC a BBC News as it covered initial reports that Israeli forces has
entered god Main Hospital. We said that medical teams and arab speakers were being
targeted. This was incorrect misquoted a Reuter's report. We should have said IDF
forces included medical teams and Arabic speakers, right, okay, so not targeted,
included. How many times a day do you mix those up? Wait?
What? But six? Seven? I mean most, if you're most
people, probably you know half dozen or so included targeted. They sound they
both have letters. They're very close, very close, it's a running gag
around the studio, would say, who's going to make the first whoopsie with
those two conflating them. This morning it was ross he was targeting his family's
Thanksgiving money and instead, uh, I included it in my winnings. So
it happens, all right, So yeah, that's dumb. And she even
points out that they misquoted Reuters, so there wasn't even their own original reporting.
They read another report and then read it wrong. I'm sure it was
an accident because for this operation, so we apologize for this error, which
fell below our usual editorial standards. The correct version of events was broadcast minutes
later. Okay, yes, yeah, well no it really was. It
was minutes after the second one because you did the first one and they's like,
ah, that's not right, and and then you ignored people. Yeah
yeah, So people took to social media and they're like no, no,
no. In fact, they were putting clips of the Reuter's article saying,
hey, you you got these words wrong. And and think of the picture
either. There some guys sitting there with the you know, they we'll just
go old like thermal thermal imaging. He could see the baddies in there with
their eight ks and he's like, Dan, you get a missile, right,
so targeting. But instead of that, they're like, ah, look
for the guy with the clipboard and the stethoscope. That's what you accuse them
of doing. Instead they literally brought Arabic translators and more medical professionals. Now,
I know that upsets some people. I know people are not rational,
and they got beef and they don't believe and who knows, who knows what
is one thousand percent true? But there's no denying that that wasn't even their
original reporting and they just muffed it. And it only, as we've pointed
out, it only ever seems to muff in one direction. And it's gotten
so bad that they're doing satirical CNN stuff on Israeli TV. I kid you
not this way. Thirty nine days after Hama's freedom fighters peacefully atta Israel,
we have now an exclusive interview with its leader. You hear sin Wah,
Yes, Rachel, let me just correct you. There were also Fredom rapists
and a Fredom bochers. Of course, of course I apologize, mister Sinoa.
I understand that you are now working towards the Sea is fire. Yes,
Rachel. You know me, wherever there is fire, I say,
let's see it. All we are saying is Gibbs is fire must be seized.
Yeah, the situation in Gaza is terrible, Rachel. All innocent civilians
are running out of town, so we are left without protection, with no
human shield at all. So unfair. So on and our hospitals, legend,
our scores all run out of rockets. How are we supposed to kill
Jews like this? I mean with lectures. Actually we've tried that one didn't
work. There's just there's some serious, like dark humor going on here,
obviously with everything everything in the mix, and it seems kind of easy the
jokes are making there. But as you watch this bit unfold, man,
I don't know. I like dark humor. So I'm sitting there cringing and
simultaneously like, h yeah, I see the point you're making. I plead
to the world we need a ceasefire. We are tired, we need a
break. Don't forget we started a day earlier than the Israeli so they are
fair so unfair. But I understand the Zionists refuse to put down the weapons.
Yes, can you imagine can you imagine all we want is a little
time to re arm before we continue to kill them, and they won't let
us. Oh ye, sorry, mister Sinoir, I can't hear you all
this noise in the background. Yeah, I'm sorry, Rachel. There is
a there is a baby here. Could you please get him to be quiet?
Yeah? I wish I could. It's not mine and his mother is
an israel Never mind, Okay, Look, it's really hard to conduct an
interview with this noisy kidnapped baby. Is he always like that? Oh?
At night it's even worse, Rachel. Every time we fire a rocket he
wakes up. No, I didn't have one good night sleep in a month.
I will say this though, whoever, the chick is just play playing
the BBC anchor. I would say she's not nailing the British accent. But
the point is made obviously. Are you telling me that there is an Israeli
baby that's torturing you by slip deprivation? Oh that's great. There is a
spin I love right here because now she's like, it's you know, it's
a kidnapped baby, and here we go. Are you telling me that there
is an Israeli baby that's torturing you by slip deprivation. Yes, occupying your
host ias so unfair, so unfair, and the world does absolutely nothing about
it. I really hope you'll get to ceasefire soon. Thank you so much,
mister sinoir no, no on on, thank you, and now please
stay with us for a moment of history. On this day in nineteen forty
four, heartless Winston Churchill refused to cease fire and continued the genocidal attack on
Nazi Germany. As we well know now, far more German civilians have died
in the war, which makes them the victims and written the war criminal.
All right, And by the way, there's a reason they included that,
because that was a point of discussion that erupted on social media. Was also
a point that was made by a Facebook group that I know you're going to
be shocked to learn is includes Rashida Talib and some people are like, hey,
maybe you shouldn't be in this Facebook group, which was making the argument
that by the standards of you know, I guess the standards of modern America,
though I would tend to disagree depending on where you go, people are
pretty divided screaming at each other. But by those standards. The bombing of
Dresden was in and of itself a war crime, and we can get into
all of the reasons why most people who have the ability to form thoughts are
able to recognize the difference is between actively targeting civilians versus fighting in a war
zone where there is the possibility of civilians being killed, and it's something that
we weigh and we battle and we discuss and we debate. But you know
that whole disingenuous argument. I saw just going great guns on the Twitter.
Yes, say, I'll tell you from social media though, where it gets
really creepy. Did you see the TikTok this TikTok trend where these TikTokers are
doing little snippets of I'm going to assume they don't know what it is,
because that's the only way I can keep my sanity. But the meat of
the document and the words are talking about how much the West sucks, how
much the Jews suck, all of that, and what they are actually doing
is somebody somewhere got them to make TikTok videos promoting snippets of the Osama bin
laden letter to America. I want to repeat this one more time. Your
idiot kids are on maybe not yours, yours, I'm sure fine. Those
idiot kids are on TikTok doing creepy ass videos. Some would dance doing snippets
of Osama bin Laden's letter to America, which you've ever read, the whole
thing. It's a doozy. He's not a fan, not a fan,
as evidenced. And they're just it's like, what, you know, what
you're witnessing. You're witnessing the actual trans For me of chay ga Era in
real time, it would be the only it would be something similar, I
guess maybe right where it's like, oh that part where he literally jailed homosexuals,
killed a bunch of artists, and I don't even don't even get me
started on all the ravens. You know he played the piano roster Did you
know chake of Eric could play the piano. It was apparently very good at
it. Yeah, I mean and that and that beret right, And he
was Argentinian, so he probably can make a steak. I haven't checked.
And uh, he would rape people and then literally kill them while I was
raping them. And then and then he would make art too, make art,
and he would make people he thought were gay, it'd kill each other
to the go to the death. That was the thing, you like that,
And he actually, according to Fidel Castro, showed him one time how
to roll a cigar differently in a way. They did that in Argentina and
it's one of the things that they bonded over. So it wasn't the raping
the people who you killed while you were raping them, it was the cigar
rolling. So history, and that's what I feel like is happening in real
time when I'm watching some bubblehead twenty year old Dougie and then tell me about
how bin Laden views America while not maybe not knowing what it is she's reading
and hoping to God that she doesn't know what she's reading. Do this vacation
couldn't come at a better time, just telling you, I'm just so sapped,
man, just so sapped with all these folks. Can we just get
a heartwarming local story as well? I know that's what you're saying, right,
Like, Casey, please, you just you put us down in the
doldrums talking about all this international stuff, anything happening locally, and to you,
I would say, yes, yes there is. And I'm so happy
that you brought that up. Who loves chick fil A? Ross? You
like chick fil A? Right, I'm a fan of chick fil A.
In fact, we got a chick fil A story in the stack today,
and it happened at the chick fil A that I've eaten at quite a few
times over there in high Points, not far from the radio station, the
Greensbro station. Little chick fil A action. So what is it? Is
it great employees? Is it somebody donating money to charity? Is it somebody
set a record for eating the most chick fil A? Well, you're just
gonna have to buckle in, kids, and we'll get all the details of
this heartwarming story starring a twenty year old nor the Stanton Staton. I don't
know how to pronounce names anymore. I couldn't even get the governor's right,
So, uh don't know if I got that right, sir, But we're
gonna feature your work. So down home, local North Carolina chick fil A
couldn't be more in the wheelhouse if we tried that story, and so much
more coming your way as we just try to fit it all in here in
our three CaCO day radio program. Hang On Your Day Smarter one six one
half m Talk and News Talk NINEPTI more with Casey starts. Now, Oh
wow, that just hit me. Oh man, it just hit me like
two seconds ago. I'm sitting here and I'm angrily reading an email from Combers
Sellers, driping it raw. So, you know, like we all do
in our job, can he believe this person? Right? Ross, I
just had the most profound thought. Man, All right, what's that?
You should gamble more? No? I probably should. No, you should,
but we'll get to that here in a moment. What if Roy Cooper's
trying to figure out a loophole so he can run for governor again? Right,
because in North Carolina you can run twice and you're out and then obviously
as evidence you can come back. But yeah, you know, two consecutive.
What if because you remember all the little gamesmanship in loopholes we saw these
cats playing during COVID when it came to I don't know your constitutional freedoms?
What's to say so you know they don't make an argument to the right judge
that No, that was Roy Cooper. I'm Roy. I can't even pronounce
it correctly, Cooper Cooper. It's one of these things where he's saying it
right, but I'm still hearing it the way that everybody else has always said
it. I'm still hearing Cooper. I'm not hearing any difference in what he's
saying, and I'm seeing it's like it's tomato, tomato, and what are
you talking about? No, that was Governor Cooper. You're thinking of Ross,
not uh Cooper, potential governor because now that's who's running Raul Rau?
Uh? Yeah. Are you gonna vote for against Raw? I'm well off
to see where you know, where, what is what his positions are,
and yes, yeah, I hear it. Also, it depends on what
tax bracket I'm in to be honest, you know, if I win big
now in the in the in the lottery, yes, yeah, that's a
good point. Yeah, then I'm probably like not going to vote for him
because I want to keep my money. Sure, yeah, yeah, that's
what you want to do with that. But however, if I lose all
my money in the digital lottery, I might vote for what's his name,
it's Rau. Yeah, I might vote for it because I won't have any
money. He's a in fact, he's gonna fight Jeff Jackson. It's a
thing I just called. I just I created the event. Dude, I'm
still saying, we're not talking to Pete today. I'm gonna have so much
We're gonna have so much fun with this tomorrow. Excuse me, uh Pete,
Pete calendar. This is so bad. Oh gosh, man, that's
my that's my that's my horror thought right there. What if it's all a
plan for him to claim it's a loophole, like he claimed it's a loophole
that you can't go to church, or you can't go to this, or
you can't go to that, or you can't look at your kid or have
an input in their education or you know any of that. He's like,
I'm just gonna change my name. Nobody will notice winning winning, You're a
winner. Yeah, thank you. Look at that. That's a good drop.
Let's put that on the old. But Rossie said, you had some
Christmas presents money you thought maybe it would be enough to get you back where
you're at. Me. Listen, I'm crunching the numbers. There's no possible
way I could lose again eventually. No, no digital, this new digital
gambling apparatus that I have opened based on the North Carolina State Lottery doing theirs.
Yeah, plus a donna call. She shelled money in the machine.
She didn't win. This thing is just it's just ready, you know what
I'm saying. So all right, so remember you're looking for the h You
want to get three hobos screaming at traffic, trying to bite your ear at
the bus, the bus depot. That's what you're looking for. So here
we go. Let's go. Come on, yeah, let's go. There
goes all right, all right, right, I'm a winner. Check.
Oh oh my god, you want you for your hundred dollars? Yeah,
you won five dollars? What you want five dollars? Dude, you're a
winner. That is amazing. You did. It's see all the lights,
see the blinking. That's amazing. You're a winner. And that voice at
least I went out in a high note. Yeah. So when you go
home and explain this to your family today, let them know you won.
Okay, you're a winner, and that's what's really important. And then take
that all that money you won and put it in to uh, put it
in the stock market and it's gone. Oh no, that was a bad
idea. Oh I'm sorry. Wamph Yeah, so that's my theory. He's
just he's like, ah, how can I run for governor again? Probably
not gonna happen, but hey, you know what, everything's so crazy these
days. Who even knows? All Right, I promise Chick fil A,
let's do this, and I just love that stage. It's got to deal
with this after I'm done talking about it. So they had a little incident
at the Chick fil A and high Point. According to high Point Police,
a man who has a history of what I'm about to tell you about around
town, a twenty year old by the name of Norwy Stanton, was charged
after he was well, you know how, so we've all been to the
Chick fil A. You go to the drive through, It's like, that's
crazy, man. Chick fil a drive throughs are a whole other thing.
And depending on which Chick fil A, if you get a double line drive
through or an old school like, you're gonna be there a while. They're
a fishing. Don't get me wrong, I'm not knocking on Chick fil A,
man. They got people out there taking or trying to make it as
easy as possible. You go inside, though, and around lunchtime it's it's
super crazy inside too. So you go, you order, and then you
do the you do the little shimmy to the left right. So you go
stand and you wait for your order, which is not uncommon in fast food
restaurants, but with Chick fil A things take just a little longer. So
then you you wait. I know some do the number stuff. Whatever.
Well, now you got time to kill ross. What do you do once
you've placed an order at a tay at a where you're you know, fast
food or takeaway or any of that, and you're in that window from order
to waiting to get your food five ten minutes to kill? What are you
normally outside or inside? You've walked in, you came inside for whatever.
I stand around like an idiot on my phone. Oh you did dig around
on your phone? Okay, all right, Well you know probably some people
do that. That's that's one thing to do. Some people. Maybe if
you know somebody it said, you know, like, hey, I recognized
this woman from church, maybe you have a conversation. Right, you could
do that. You could pleasure yourself. You could go and you could like
you go to the gym. What if you ran into somebody from the gym
and you're like, haha, we're both cheating today, right, I'm sorry,
I swear you said something there. You just kept going though it's a
very inappropriate and he just kept going, Well, that would be inappropriate if
you're at the gym and you run into a gym guy, which you're both
a Chick fil A getting bread something before it, and you said something that
wouldn't fit with the diet. Though. The church lady is the church lady
also the person at the Oh, it's the pleasuring oneself? Is that the
one? Yeah? Yeah, because that's the one Stanton allegedly had some time
to kill. Didn't have phone. I guess UH didn't recognize anyone from church
or the gym, and and UH did know. Uh just decided, Hey,
what the hell, it's eleven twenty on a Tuesday morning, let's do
this. And he did, and there were a bunch of kids and then
he ran, and then police had to chase him, and now he's in
custoding. He's charged with uh in decent liberties with children and resist delay and
obstruction of an officer. So I don't know if that was just for the
running, or if he put up a little mini fight or whatever. It
does. He didn't assault an officer or anything. But yeah, uh,
Judge Angela Fox set his bond. It this, by the way, this
is great at five hundred thousand because he keeps doing it. Dude, keeps
doing it. The judge said, bond at five hundred thousand. Instead,
if he's able to post bond, he will be and from Chick fil A?
Well, can you imagine the mac and cheese? The mac and cheese
is so good? Can you imagine being trespassed from Chick fil a life knowing
you could never have that deliciousness? Can you still order them on like Uber
Eats? I don't know how those work protection orders look, and they go
they go into a whole bunch of the story here, and you have Mom
saying that he's dealing with mental deficiencies. But arguably, I don't know by
this doesn't strike me as somebody who is very clearly from what I can see,
somebody that is very clearly so impaired that they don't know what they're doing,
especially with the way that they're charging. So there you go watch out
there, and you never know what you can get. Probably just go through
the drive through. I guess I don't know anyway eight forty six can yeah,
raced agent. Can you imagine being barred from going to chick fil A's,
any chick fil A's forever? Yeah? How do they enforce that?
However, that I got to take a look a license plate and I put
your picture up. Man, Come on, have you ever see a movie?
And I'm sorry, yeah, movie. But let's just say you venture
out of state and you go somewhere else and I don't know, I don't
think that would be the first thing that people are gonna be looking for.
I don't know. But you could order on the app? Right, Well,
this is what I'm wondering. So, if you're banned from going to
chick fil a, can you order on the app? But but that would
require you to show up and that would be a violation. But if you
get like Uber eats to do it, yeah, I don't know. I
don't know if that's a loophole, man, Yeah, I think you could
be onto something there. You found a loophole. I just had. We
got a new aim by the way, okay, casino, you got got
the Christmas kids Christmas presents money? Right? Oh, look at that.
I would I would look nobody's won for a while. This thing's getting ready
to pay off. I would just let it ride, man, You ready,
yeah, yeah, all right, here's your family's future. Let's go
ahead and do this. That's a thousand dollars unspin and uh all right,
good luck, mister stagic. And uh you're a winner. Oh wow,
you won? Yeah you won five dollars. Oh thanks, girls, just
I lied. Ross won five dollars earlier too, and it was all his
his Christmas money. So the for biscuit. Those are the most insulting wins,
aren't they in the gambling environment? Yep? I like the you could
check the lottery on your phone. Now you check your ticket and when it
says two dollars winter with like multiple exclamation points, I'm like, it's not
even worth my drive to go cash it in. Wow, look at you.
Yeah, and that's what they want you do. And even here talking
to us, mister rich, I'm sorry, I just looked at the clock
to your batti. Go ahead, yeah, beautiful today we should be near
just above sixty across the area for normal highs about ten above that, upper
sixties, low seventies, a little cloud especially, try it this morning.
Other than that it'll look good. Maybe a little rain tomorrow, still in
the upper sixties, low seventies. The weekend, it's gonna look great.
Sunshine and upper sixties on Saturday with the northwest breeze Chili though at night after
that sun goes down and that breeze is around, gonna be kind of chilly
than on Sunday. Sunshine and even cooler near sixtyres which is actually where we
should be this time of year with lows in the thirties. Big Game Saturday
afternoon at Death Valley right North Carolina, Clemson. That won't be here tomorrow,
so we won't chat for a while. Yeah, weather should be good,
but sorry, I burn it up all that time. Man, That's
okay. You parked your Brigatti and Oakland Heights, so yeah or no.
Well I'm trying to think of the summer in Atlanta. That no, Oakland
City. You parked your Bugatti in Oakland City and bad news and it's got
yeah. Enjoy that. We'll talk like a week or something. Yes,
sound great, man, Joy, Thanksgator, and we'll be back. Hang
on Ellinger with QUICKI for you. Good morning, Sure, what's up?
Welcome morning, Casey. Just got a word from the Labor Department to suggests
the job market has begun to soften. Some two hundred and thirty one thousand
workers filed new claims for unemployment benefits last week. That was thirteen thousand more
than the prior week. Another report from Washington shows import prices down more than
expected last month, and Walmart had a good third quarter, but the company
issued a cautious outlook for US shoppers, saying it noticed some signs of weakness
at the end of last month. So Walmart shares our lower pre market and
the Dow futures are down thirty two points this hour. Casey, all right,
hey, Jeff, one more with us tomorrow. We'll see that.
Okay, okay, I'll talk to you then take care of all Right,
there you go. Jeff Bellinger, Bloomberg News. I didn't you notice I
did not try to get Jeff to gamble. I just didn't feel that that's
probably his thing. What if it is with all those vacations he goes on,
we would never really know. What if he's just a big casino dude.
What if he's a whale in Vegas? Man right goes in, they
comp them a suite at the Aura or whatever, and uh aria and uh
he just probably not okay, all right, Well, hey look I've I've
got all sorts of weird conspiracy theories bounced around my head ever since I figured
out the governor's trying to trick people into letting him run again. It's just
a theory. So let me leave you something that will make you feel better.
According to a new research study, the while the vast majority of dog
and cat owners will say their pets enrich their lives in countless ways, researchers
from Michigan State Universities suggest that most pet owners just tell themselves what they want
to hear. Yes, according to researchers, despite pet owners claiming pets improved
their lives, researchers could not find a reliable association between pet ownership and well
being. And what they were really studying is the large amount of people who
went and went got pets during COVID nineteen. And I'm going to defect because
some of you are under the impression that I have I don't like cats or
something or whatever. Let me divorce you of this. I'm going to defend
you. In this study, people who like pets that feel that they add
value to their lives, even if I may find them not valuable because you
know, they're not pulling something or bringing me dead birds back or things like
that, or you know, rescuing Timmy from the well. Don't need COVID
to drive them to go and get pets, do you know what I'm saying.
So, by lumping in a bunch of people who had like developed small
anxiety disorders because they couldn't be around others to show off how awesome they are
that they had to go out and get a pet during COVID nineteen, I
don't know that you can call that slice that a slice of pet ownership in
America, you know what I mean? Because those are folks who didn't have
a pet and only got a pet then because they were bored. So to
try to try to sit there and act like that's that's a connected group,
I think is incredibly unfair. But that's just me. Oh and I've had
pets and don't I don't currently have pets. I've had I've probably had more
pets than most of you will ever have if you just consider any animal you
have to look after as a pet. But yeah, lumping in the I'm
lonely I need a cat COVID, people with actual pet owners. I don't
think it's fair, but your cat's still insane.
