All right, so let me, I guess, let me respond this way.
Yesterday, obviously there was some there was some crazy news, and I
know that the way it's being covered in a lot of places, they're trying
to really complain two stories. Obviously, that is the departure or dismissal or
however you want to interpret it of Don lemanit CNN and Tucker Carlson at Fox
News. But that's not even being fair. I mean, ratings wise,
current situation wise. I mean, the fact is that when you're evaluating why
something may have transpired, and you're doing it based on those two individuals,
the ratings are not the same the you know, the audience numbers obviously,
but but but more importantly, the revenue. Here's the deal, and this
is I mean, this is really how it works, and it doesn't matter
whether it's And let me just be abundantly clear, I am not speaking as
an official spokesman of the way in which iHeart Media evaluates any of its hosts.
Okay, that's obviously that's us. But I'm pointing out not just radio
and not just you know, this show, but really radio and TV in
general. And it'll make sense to you ratings are awesome, right, It's
great to have ratings. Are you the Are you the show that most people
watch and or listen to? Obviously, if you're number one, that's a
big deal because normally two things go hand in hand. If you're the number
one rated show, or you're up there in the ratings, chances are you're
the number one revenue show, or you're up there in the revenue. And
from a media broad in the world, a broadcast, that's what they want
to see, and and and so I can simplify it like this, and
normally that all goes hand in hand. I mean, it comes down to
the apparatus by which he sells stuff. And um, there's other factors,
which we'll get into obviously when talking about both of those individuals. But in
in the purest sense, let's say there's no other there's no other side stuff,
there's no character questions, there's no there's there's none of it in just
a pure sense. Um, let's say, well, we'll just say ratings
from zero to one hundred percent, right, because that's pretty much how we
how we how we measure radio, it's how we measure TV. Right.
So when they say that Tucker Carlson has on average, I think he averaged
like three point three million in twenty twenty two, which is uh for you
know, evening cable news is number one, all right, So but what
that matters also a share, right, So in the world of radio,
and I can't get into specifics above and beyond just a general sense. But
when you when you're talking about share, it breaks down in a variety of
different ways. So when they go out and they sell this show, right,
so they want to go sell it, they want to go sell an
advertisement where Ross or myself is say Hi, I'm Casey or Hi I'm Ross.
Right, one of the things that they're showing the people who are buying
those is they're showing our ability to reach people and believe it or not,
haters listening to the show, we do pretty well. In fact, Ross,
I just sent you the most recent ratings the other day that look good,
right, Yeah, it wasn't bad. Yeah all right, you're looking
at it that you're like, you know what, pretty good. But ultimately,
just because you have the ratings, you also have to be able to
have the revenue, and arguably that's going to be more important. If one
hundred percent of the people in a listening or reviewing area take your show,
but your revenue is yeah, you're probably not long for this world only because
one, that's going to stick out more. But two if if it underperforms
and people think they can do more, regardless of whatever reason, and underperforms,
for chances are at some point they're gonna go, you know, we
could probably do better. Here's the other side of this. Let's say that
instead of the fabulous ratings that we have here on this show and they're pretty
good at public radio. UM, let's say instead of that, we had
really you know, blah ratings and some talk talk products are like this.
UM, let's say we had yeah, not so good ratings, but our
sellers are our salespeople were able to go out and monetize this show in a
spectacular fashion. Then from a corporate standpoint, that's going to serve you pretty
well. So the old thing is, would you rather have a hundred share
meaning one hundred percent of it and uh, you know, one share revenue
or would you rather have one share audience and you know ten percent revenue?
And the answer is the second one. And I know that the people on
the air, we're like, ah, you know, we want everybody to
listen to us because you know we're lamaniacs. But ultimately that is what matters
in evaluating the show when you remove all the other factors, and between Don
Lemon and Tucker, it's not even close. Tucker Carlson from a ratings and
revenue standpoint, cream CNN, even though CNN can garner advertisers that Fox News
would never be able to touch. And I bring this up because I want
to evaluate the departure of both of these individuals and I want to cut through
the absurdity and dishonesty of the analysis going on. So we will will make
that part of the program. We got that, we got so much more.
It is six fifteen people are sending me email. How many people tune
in on an average day. I can't. I literally am not allowed to
dispose all of that. If you ever want to get a more general sense
of stuff, you can go and you can see what are known as top
line ratings online because ratings stuff is literally something we pay for it. It's
more complex than that, but I can't get into the methodology or the numbers
or any of that. But if you ever want to see really how stuff
stands. You can go to Arbitron or Nielsen's website and look up radio markets
and you can see what are known as top line, which is going to
show you the full markets, but it's not going to show you the totality
of really, you know, the different demographics that we target. All right.
So again when I'm saying this, I'm trying to give you an understanding
of how people evaluate what is beneficial from a corporate st hip point. So
there you go. Several folks have sent me the same email. Anyway,
six sixteen hang on ten years of news twice an hour and smart talk all
day w PTI in the Triad and one six one FM Talk in the Triangle.
All right, good morning, it is six twenty one here on the
case O Day Radio program. Ross and I just talking off the air.
It's amazing what we've been able to accomplish in ten years. Man, ten
years churning away? Would the sweepers say ten years? I mean, if
you hear it there, it must be true. Um No, But I
mean that's um because people. I want people to have a fundamental understanding of
why decisions get made. That is, that is, in the purest form,
what I'm talking about right there. And the reality is that in many,
many, many cases, whether it's the departure of Tucker Carlson or Don
Lemon or any of the rest, um simply getting on Twitter and being like,
oh broh, that's because only advertiser they could get is my pillow.
That shows a fundamental misunderstanding of how this stuff is monetized and what matters.
And I'm not even I'm not even going to sit here and and attack Don
Lemon, because here's the deal. If you're if you're a CNN host or
an MSNBC host, the one thing that you have that is advantageous is you
have a whole pile of clients potential advertisers that Fox News doesn't get. Right,
they did as somebody did a skit ross. Did you ever see this
skit where they're like they're doing like this leftist podcast and they keep pausing for
their sponsor mentioned I think it was Ryan Long. Yeah, Ryan Long did
it. Absolutely, the comedian did the woke racist COMPARI they're doing the side
by side and the guy NPR is like endorsing Apple, and Ryan Long at
the conservative station is like doing patriot dirt. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
freedom dirt or something. Yeah, we're gonna go to Patriot dirt, right,
And and it shows you how mainstream, much more mainstream advertisers will feel
comfortable in spending their dollars with what are perceived is left leaning broadcasts, whereas
if you are perceived as a right leaning broadcast, and this is not this
is not meant a derogatory way towards any of our advertisers. Because local media
is different. For the most part, local media is different, you really
get that cross over because within the world of media, I'm probably gonna get
yelled at for this. Um. There is a term which is considered con
or non con and it doesn't stand for conservative. It stands for quote unquote
controversial right. And there are some advertisers that don't want to be They don't
want to be associated with quote unquote controversial stuff. So it doesn't even have
to be talk radio or a partisan talk radio. It can simply be talk
radio at all, or morning shows that are a little edgy, right.
And there are some agencies or advertisers that say, well, I want to
advertise, I want to advertise broadly, but I don't want to advertise on
quote unquote controversial stuff. And so when you get into the big national shows
or the big Zoo Crew morning shows, sometimes they end up labeled as quote
unquote controversial. So you know, being a local talk morning show, we
generally escape that so gay for us. But um that this all translates into
this. So when you're talking about big national people like Tucker, Don Lemon
or any of the rest, Um, this all goes in there. And
the and the reason I'm explaining all of this to you to the extent that
I can, and I don't mean to sound like some weird CIA guy,
um, but you know, ratings, revenue, all of that stuff,
all of this information, like all of the information that's out there about you,
is monetized. So um, I can't I can't delve into the depths
of it, but allows us to do our marketing and business and all of
that. Just know that when you see people within the media that are doing
analysis of why did Fox do this with Tucker? Why did they do this
with Don Lemon, and they are strictly attacking this from a you know,
a recent story standpoint, They're failing, they're failing to be honest about all
of the things that go into decisions because the way that I saw Yahoo and
a bunch of these other outlets, and I just I quote Yahoo because that's
what I included in the packet today is the headline is Tucker Carlson producer ups
happy and they're rejoicing because sexism and racism and anti Semitism rampant and blah blah
blah. And let me tell you, I have met and you can't base
everything off a simple meeting with individuals, but you get to be a decent
read of how people probably are. And I have met Tucker, I have
met Limbaugh, I have met Beck, I have met Hannity. And I
don't just mean a handshaken a photo. I mean i've met well. When
Limbaugh was basically quick, wow you're Russia Limbaugh, this is awesome. But
in the instance of Hannity back Tucker Carlson and many other people, it's either
been a dinner or a longer time to sit there and chat with them and
not just had him on the show interview, but in a professional setting outside
of interviewing them. And Hannity is Hannity is exactly what you think he is,
right. He is a guy who is boom boo boom on the numbers.
He's hyper. You're like, oh my gosh, put the speed down.
And I mean that in a joking sense, obviously, And he comes
across as a guy who's just he's just really into it. Glenn Beck,
I'll tell you what, Glenn Back's got a little bit of a weird vibe
when he first meet him, and I think that's I think that's his nature.
He's a little standoffish in person, not necessarily in a negative way,
but that's Tucker Carlson. Oh and Russia Limbau was up nice. But again,
it was just a really momentary thing, Tucker Carlson. If if I
had to pick somebody I met that's in that level of it, I don't
think I've ever met anyone that just came across as such a normal dude vibe.
But again, you don't know necessarily how they're operating outside of that.
But I mean it was like oddly normal dude vibe. Now, granted this
was prior to the Fox Show or the Big Show. All right, So
with all that set up, and I know I've taken a little while to
do it, I want to get into the analysis as it is, and
what it really means hang up celebrating ten years and still going strong. Thank
you. Casey is one f w PTI in the Triad and one oh six
one FM Talk in the Triangle. So yeah, crazy day yesterday in the
world of network news, and you know, rumors floating around, stories floating
around, taking for what it is. Let me start with Don Lemon.
Now we talked about the fact, well, obviously you've seen that Don Lemon
was transitioned we'll call it from his primetime show to morning show, which in
the world of radio, obviously you would be like, yeah, I'm the
morning show. Now, that's a good thing. Drive time is a good
thing, whether it's a morning or afternoon because of the way the radios utilize.
But in the world of network television, don Lemon getting transition from prime
time to mourning that is not that is not a positive. And there,
you know, there were some awkward moments there, and then Variety and others
did these big hit pieces on Don Lemon here I don't know, like two
weeks ago or something, and you could you could kind of sniff that the
end was nigh. Now, whether you know all of the you know,
the backstory stuff or any of the rest they having to do with Don Lemon
is accurate. I'll leave that up to you, because ultimately we don't know.
We weren't in the room. But that transition there showed that CNN was
sitting there and going, you know, we got a little bit of a
problem here, and they probably had a contract that dictated they pay a certain
amount of money out and what are we going to do? But you've seen
it, You've seen it. You saw it with Chris Cuomo over there on
the Fox News side, the situation was incredibly different in the sense that,
other than the general attacks which Don Lemon faced as well, right, people
didn't like Don Lemon, including myself. Here's what I didn't like about Don
Lemon. Don Lemon's thing was, if you're going to be a pundit,
if you're going to be an opinion guy, then label yourself as such.
And I never liked how CNN would pretend like Don Lemon was a news anchor.
Don Lemon wasn't a news anchor, Chris Cuomo wasn't a news anchor Fox
News. I would argue, as more honest about who is a quote unquote
news anchor versus an opinion show this is, and this goes down to really
the core of the way in which people would argue these things. Oh,
Donna Lemon, you know, Tucker. They go all Fox News has fake
newspeople, and then I'd be like, okay, who Sean Hannity and Bill
O'Reilly and all that, and I'm like, well, they're not. But
they're not newspeople. They're pundits there. They're commentators that are opinion guys,
and they don't mislabel it. So if you don't like them, that's fine.
Rachel Maddow, to her credit, was not a news person, was
not labeled as a newsperson, maybe by her fans, but she was what
she was. Chris Hayes same deal. CNN was like, no, those
are news people. Those are people giving you the news, And the reality
was those are not people giving either. Ross and I are not quote unquote
newspeople. Well, actually I speak for me. Ross. Are you a
newsperson or do you give your opinion? I mean personally I hate it all.
Okay, well there you go. That's an opinion right there. Ross's
opinion is it all sucks and can burn down. The point is they were
from very different things However, what they do have in common is they have
now the side stories. So with Tucker Carlson, Yahoo News is running and
others are running these articles about how Tucker Carlson was essentially running this horrendous empire
where they would call women the sea word, and they would make jew jokes
and all the rest of this, and I'm like, oh, wow,
that's crazy because one it doesn't comport not just with the image portrayed on TV,
but rather the my personal opinion having met this, I've actually met him
on multiple occasions. It was just thinking about this. I met him on
three different occasions, and I had the opportunity. I actually was able to
sit at a table with him and a couple other pretty well known pundits at
the Hilton DC at the Hilton Hotel in Washington, DC. Is part of
a thing that I did for Americans for Prosperity back of the day. I
did a panel thing and the only one it was a giant a hole to
me was the Gateway pundit dude. And I just I don't even think it
was personal. I just think he's kind of a weird dude. But it
is what it is. Michelle Malkin was at that table. My point is,
so when I'm sitting there and I'm reading this stuff, I don't I
don't have backstory. Most of us don't have backstory on that stuff. When
it comes to people like Don Lemon. With Tucker Carlson, I have a
little like I have a little personal experience there. But Yahoo and others headlines
Tucker Carlson producers discrimination claims go beyond dominion scandals. So the way that they
chose to cover this is they just decided that everything that was alleged by a
former producer by the name of Abby Grossberg must be true, and that must
be the reason. And so they made that connection even though you don't necessarily
have that. There's various stories as to what led to Tucker Carlson leaving,
and the one that I've seen the most is Tucker Carlson wanted to do a
show yesterday that essentially was a rebuttal show to sixty minutes, where sixty minutes
and the whole thing on ray Epps this weekend. If you remember, that's
the dude on January six, who's seen on video on two separate occasions most
aggressively encouraging people to storm the capitol and I won't even say storm. I
want to be fair here, enter the Capitol by whatever means possible. And
then what was weird is when they were going through all this January sixth stuff,
the dude was literally on the FBI most Wanted list, and then all
of a sudden he wasn't and he was never arrested or charged, he wasn't
brought forth in a public fashion to the J six Committee. And the theory
by many people out there is because he was a fed or fed asset.
Now, whether that's true or not, I don't know, but somebody of
Fox News higher up going now, you're not doing this story, and Tucker
Carlson says, well, I am doing this story. What are you going
to do about it? And then somebody might be Murdoch goes, you can
walk or you can do something else, and Tucker goes, I'll walk.
Now. I don't know whether that's true or or not, but them going
out and finding this accuser of Tucker Carlson who has a lawsuit that where they're
hoping to make a bunch of money is not a good singular source because with
Don Lemon, there is remember there's a rape accuser out there, and I
didn't see any Don Lemon analysis where they were like, oh, well,
we're just going to assume whatever is going on with Don Lemon is based on
this lawsuit by this single accuser. That's not a good source. Whether you
like Don or you like Tucker or any of the rest of it. So
when you're evaluating the way in which corporate media evaluates their properties, whether it's
Tucker or Don or US, I'm just telling you ratings and revenue, but
more specifically, revenue is a huge component of it. And it's inarguable that
Tucker Carlson was king of revenue. He was the number one rated show Fox
News bills. Well, you can look at their quarterly reportings, so something
else happened and after the dominion lawsuit and all the rest where they just paid
out nearly nine hundred million dollars. I would just tell you to think critically
when evaluating this stuff. That's all. I'm not going to tell you what
to think. But when you see the hit pieces that are born from single
lawsuit snippets and interviews by people who have a fiduciary interest in making these individuals,
whether it's Don Lemon or Tucker Carlson look as bad as possible. You
got to ask yourself if you aren't again being treated to wildly slanted reporting,
and the answer is you are. Don Lemon also put a statement out saying
that they fired him through his agents. C and N put a statement would
say no, we tried to have a meeting with him. He told us
to pound sand Carlson put a short letter out to staffers, but hasn't said
anymore. And the likelihood is he's probably under an NDA of some sort a
non disparagement clause. And I, you know, I don't know, but
if I had to guess who's going to emerge with greater influence, it's gonna
be Tucker Carlson. Man, I don't know that there's any question about that.
All right, eight eight eight nine three four seven eight seven four you
run away in on any of that. Six forty five Hang one O six
one FM Talk and ninety four five w PTI, two stations driving the best
in talk. This is Casey O Day and Carolina's Morning News. All right,
you good morning six fifty two here on the case O Day Radio program.
All right, just looking at my email, Why are conservative talk hosts
consider controversial while others or not. Well, I mean that's just that's just
bias man and it's it's also that business decision that we've talked about on multiple
Uh. Now, I will say this, there's some advertisers don't want to
touch it left or right. There's some advertisers don't want to touch it even
if it's sports, depending on the market. I'm just I'm giving you the
lay of the land. And it doesn't even have to be political, you
know, if you want to be. I know that Howard Stern can be
political. But back in the day, you'd have advertisers didn't want to touch
political. And it's weird too because some advertisers that do business cross thresholds where
they're just like, give me all the radio, but they may not want
to do non English spoken there's literally there's like discriminatory statutes surrounding that. Oh
that's a thing. So you have protection on that side, but you don't
necessarily from a political standpointed, from a controversy standpoint which I'm fine with.
I think if an advertiser feels that they do want to do business, I
think that we offer in my opinion, we offer the best product out there
for specific demographics. Right, if you want to reach eighteen to twenty five
year old women, that's probably not the show for you. But for a
lot of demographics, I think we offer the best product out there. But
advertisers are going to make advertising decisions and it's going to go into it.
But I'm pointing out is the people who are being disingenuous where they're trying to
say that Tucker Carlson and Don Lemon, before you get into the controversies,
are the same. They're not. The ratings, not the revenue is not
even with the bias where people will advertise on CNN but not Fox. It's
not even close. So it's important that you evaluate the totality of the situation.
I'm not going to spend too much time on this. Like I said,
we'll take calls on it if you want, but I don't have I
don't have a bunch of inside knowledge to give you. But I would just
say beware of the rumors. And I could see a scenario where with Don
Lemon, they're sitting there going, look, we already downgraded this guy.
We moved him to mornings. It's not working from a ratings perspective, there's
been a couple of really awkward interviews he's done here as of late. And
you have people with significant allegations, whereas with Tucker Carlson, you have the
dominion lawsuit. You have Tucker that might want to respond to the Ray Epps
thing on sixty minutes, the New York Times hit pieces on him, and
you may just have ownership that's weary about getting into it. They don't want
to touch another controversy right now. And for those of you who watch Tucker
Carlson, you know that that's not That's not how he rolls. Man.
He's gonna go into whatever he's gonna go into. So anyways, six fifty
five case O Day Radio program, what is this hold on? Boston Paul?
Now, you tell me this isn't the place to reach eighteen to twenty
five year old We'll go to Trader Joe's on Monday. Sir. I'm sorry,
Boston Paul, that that's not that's not gonna work for you. Did
you did you hear about the ladies don Lemon mess up? Which one the
interview with the right the guy's grandson. Oh no, this is different,
all right? So what is this. Remember the guy was like, oh,
my uncle, you know who did the shooting. He's an Oh yeah,
we played right. He's because he watches Fox News and he's a right,
he's an old Christian male. Well, it turns out that guy,
remember he was being interviewed by Don Lemon, mister say yes, right,
is in TIFA member and devout Satanist. Yeah, yeah, yeah, well
we shared we shared part of that on the air, just based on his
his Twitter by hill. I mean, but you see that consistently from Don
Lemon, right where he's like, right exactly, Yeah, yeah, yeah,
I saw an interview too. He got into it with um, the
guy who started the non woke hedge fund. I can't remember his name,
it's a Indian name. Um, he got into it there. There was
an interview he did where the his co host in the morning didn't say a
word because she wanted to not be part of it, and he was blazing
into this dude. The dude's point was essentially, we're just people need to
have a debate. And you know, the rights for black Americans affixed following
the Civil War. Now that doesn't mean that they were easy to achieve.
Necessarily, you look at Jim Crow, you look at intimidation campaigns, all
of this, but don Lemon, you got any don't tell me what to
think as a black man. And the guy's just like, I'm just telling
you from a from a legal perspective that that was the legal perspective following the
Civil War, and he's not wrong. And he pointed out that the NRA
literally, as part of their founding, ran armament and training programs for former
slaves, which is which is true. By the way, that's true,
thank you. And Lemon just was basically screaming this dude down, and it
wasn't a good look. I think I think I did a softer and fairer
interview with them. Who what are they? The what's the church who holds
the anti gay signs? The Baptist Westboro Baptist. Remember I had that woman
on and she said that my mom was in hell with Billy Graham. I
think I did a more respectful interview with that woman. So from a morning
audience, I don't know that that's what they want anyway. All Right,
news coming up, lots to get into. That's not this hanglo will be.
I don't know. I don't have a second source on it. Thank
you for questioning Mann kneeze. All right, well that's fun um. So
the Ross Dusty Rhodes Power Hour. No, no, no, Ross is
Dusty rod It's power out Ross is excuse me, Well you have it in
quotes. You need to have the apostphe just at the end. Oh excuse
me, Jude, the apostophe goes at the end of my name because it's
Ross. No, no, no, I know that you had to write
literally possessive versions of your name. But if you look at the tweet,
it's got apostrophe at the beginning. Excuse me, that's a quote. Yeah
it is. No, it's not a it's not a quote like you know
speaking, it's a written quote. So you're gonna put the two Oh,
I see what you did there? All right, Ross's Dusty Rhodes Power Hour.
Is that just gonna be on Fox or CNN? Or is there a
bidding war? H after what happent Donald Lemmon yesterday? It looks like it's
gonna be a simulcast really on CNN and Fox? You don't think people that'll
be fine? Sixty minutes of continuous Dusty Rhodes highlights in the eight eight pm
slot. Do you feel like you could get five days a week out of
Dusty Rhodes highlights or well, yeah, I think I think so. And
now with AI, who knows what's possible. Some people don't know who Dusty
Rhodes is disgusting. Okay, well that's fine, but you're still gonna have
to capture an audience. Are you trying to say that the audience isn't gonna
be there? I'm just saying I think able to grow your audience, and
part of that is gonna be, Um, there's gonna be some people don't
know who he is. To teach him this show as I might, I
have the finger on the pulse of the nation. I think this nation is
craving more Dusty Rhodes. So you did some you did some sample groups and
stuff and figured out that the recognitions there. So you know, I just
go with my gut, Okay, I mean that's kind of how we run
this show, figure out what stories with our gut we think are gonna work.
I don't management likes to do a lot of the analysis, but really
it's uh, you would be disturbed how Lucy Goose show prep is around here.
But we're just you know, we just bank on we you know,
we think we got our finger on the pulse, or at the very least,
that's your your button's broken on your radio, so you can't turn you
know, whatever works, all right, So that's fun. I'm just surprised
because that sounds like more work for you. You know what I'm saying.
Oh no, it's gonna be super easy, man. It's go in there,
you know, the little intro and just click the button at place for
sixty minutes. Yeah, yeah, just upload like a YouTube video. Go
to YouTube. Find some Dusty Rhodes videos to hit play just America's Funny Stone
videos. But that's Rhodes videos. And that's the post. Okay, all
right? You think you can capture on average three point three million people per
show? You know, I don't do it for the numbers. I do
it for the passion of the show. So I was thinking, like the
Hayze factor, and it's just you reading flat Earth and Dome tweets. You
got options, That's all that I'm saying there. So I think you have
to do it live from inside the hinge though I want to do I was
thinking, all right, so we'll do a show but you remember back in
the day with O'Reilly when he would just send what was what was that dude's
name? Who was his his his stunt guy who ended up getting his own
show. Yeah, Jesse, I remember every spring Break he'd send Jesse Waters
down to you know, Miami, or can you believe these people have no
clothes on? Ye here, let us show you five minutes of video role.
Yeah. I feel like you could do a whole hour on that every
night. It's just it's just like, oh, you're not gonna believe what
the co eds are up to? And then it's just b roll for what
is Boston paulse problem? Stop spreading your germs? What do you think it's
more likely to spread germs me sneezing on a microphone, sitting in a room
by myself, or you out there hats and bats night stick in the public.
I'm assuming that's how all Boston police operate. I feel like that's much
more personal. So, but thanks for playing all right, So not the
Haze Factor, not just co eds on spring Break. I mean I feel
like you could just do that show. How many times back in the day
when you were younger, middle of the night, you you know, you've
been out partying at the bar or whatever. The Girl's Gone Wild one hour
infomercial was on. Did you just leave that on? Obviously a lot of
people did. They made a lot of money. I mean back in the
day. Man, that commercial was on repeat the entire night. Oh yeah,
yeah, especially on like UM, like USA and like TNT, Comedy
Central, Comedy Central for sure. Yeah, they just run that over and
over and over again. I cannot tell you when I was in my early
twenties, the number of times, right, it'd be a bunch of us
we go out to the bar, we go back to the house or whatever,
having some beers over there, flip on the TV that's on. You
just leave that on, and because you know, I put anything on anyone's
paying attention to, because nobody's paying attention. And then at some point the
party winds down, somebody's like, no, let's make a pizza, and
then you just hope you don't burn your house down. So any who,
now, speaking of brands and marketing, we're gonna get into this here in
just a moment. The bud light thing is crazy, and I gotta be
honest. For the most part, when quote unquote Republicans or conservatives go after
a brand. It never really amounts too much, this bud Light thing.
And I think you're getting a better sense of it because you're in like earnings
reporting and whatnot going on. Like I understand people post pictures like they post
pictures of beer coolers, like, look, there's a bunch of bud Light
and then on the next side it's empty, and they're like, all the
other beer's gone. Well, I don't know that, right, you know,
I don't know the story there, but I do know what financial reporting
looks like, and it doesn't look good. So we get into the very
latest there and Joe Biden wants another term. He's in on it, and
he wants to babysit your kids. Apparently. I'll give you the very latest
on that. In fact, we'll do that story coming up next here on
the case O Day Radio program, Your Day Smarter and celebrating ten years of
keeping you Better Informed one oh six one FM Talk and News Talk nine four
five WPTI More with Casey starts now, so bide to Harris one another term
yesterday announcing that insanity also and it was interesting because earlier in the day we
heard that the Democratic Party decided, hey, you know what, we're not
going to do this election side. We're not going to do a presidential ry
Mary debates, and obviously you have Kennedy challenging, the likelihood that Knewsome challenges,
but they're not going to sanction any debates. They don't want Joe Biden
having to put up with that, so, you know, but you know,
from a party standpoint, I guess they knew whatever they want. Also,
yesterday, Joe Biden decided to throw this nugget out, which is obviously
intended to capture the middle ground there, basing it off of the Clinton philosophy
of you know, it takes a village, it takes a village. Here
is Joe Biden yesterday. I'm about to put a teacher's creed into words.
Once she said there's no such thing as someone else's child, no such thing
as someone else's child. I don't know. I kind of feel like there
is, kind of feel like there is. I wanna if I my brother's
kid, one of my nieces or nephews, I they're you know, they're
they're they're they're fine kids. Which is surprising because my brother and I were
such derelicts. But um so it's probably because my sister in law is a
pretty good person. So, but those are not my kids, those are
their kids. So um, I don't feel this is a winning message,
but continue, Our nation's children are all our children, okay? All right?
And I know a lot of people get critical when I'm like, oh,
that's that's bad. But the problem is there's been a lot of messaging
like that, and um, if if it was just standalone, all on
its own, and I'm gonna play it again, it was just stand alone
all on its own, I get what you're driving. Now, we're about
to put a teacher's creed into words. Once she said there's no such thing
as someone else child, no such thing as someone else's child. Our nation's
children are all our children, all right. And what she's talking about from
a teacher's greed standpoint is an actual thing. And I understand the context.
I really do. Where it's from a teaching standpoint. It is meant to
inspire a teacher not to to be all in on each kid, which I
think is something that we can all agree. That's what you want. You
want to teach her to be all in on each and every child. I
mean, it's a lofty goal and something you're striving for. The problem is
way too many Democratic politicians and to teachers, union people and others they deviate
from it, and they literally mean it like that's not your kid, that's
that's the that's the community's kid. And they don't mean it from a motivational
standpoint. They mean it from a control standpoint. So when you go out
and you echo that, people are going to yield to the worst version of
that, because we've heard Randy Weingarten and others be like, no, those
aren't your kids, those are everybody's kids, and parents take that when you
mean that literally, parents take that and they they don't agree with that because
you say it because you want to point out that you're going to control what
they consume. And that's where this lies. It's not just because they want
to baby's or maybe they do it ross. Apparently the White House Joe Biden
wants to babysit Lincoln. So I would just I think you can just drop
off up there if you and the wife want to go out to dinner or
something. Plus, it's a good place to hide because nobody can serve them.
Subpoenas. So yeah, I listen. I'm a patriot, right,
Yeah, you're doing the Dusty Road Show. This might be the first president
where like, you know, say, Marky and I, we're gonna treat
it right. We're going out to eat at the Olive Garden, right,
Oh wow, So then to Italian Yeah, the chefs are training Tuscany when
you're there your family, right, We're going to the Olive Garden in the
past, maybe a little ivy on Clinton, you know, right, but
yeah, yeah, the president is coming baby sit the kid. That'd be
pretty amazing. There's no way in hell Joe Biden would ever baby sitting my
kid ever. Ever. I would say there's two people in that category,
like where it's like he has ice cream. Michael Jackson. As much as
I respect his music and my son loves his music, big, I'm Jay
fan. You're never baby sitting my kid, right, and he's not staying
over it, never Land Ranch, it's never gonna happen. He's getting window
and Joe Biden. Those are the two. He has ice cream. Do
you know this cream he does? Oh wow, I'm just saying he's got
choco choco chip, lots of different ice creams. I'll bet they have a
copy of the new Mario Brothers movie at the White House right now, Double
featuring can watch that in Birth of a Nation. I think that's what democratic
presidents like to screen there. What is that not something that democratic presidents like
to screen at the White House? It has been done. Oh wow,
look at that factual. All right. So, so Michael Jackson and Joe
Biden are your no go the no go babysit list? Dude, you should
put me on that. You don't want me watching it? You know,
you kid or any do you make jokes? But it would be fine.
I would feel comfortable with you babysitting my child. Yeah. I don't know
if you would survive, but good luck. Yeah, no, no,
no, I would be I have noise canceling headphones, and um, does
he like iPads and other stuff? Like? I have some iPads. I
have my new one and my old one. That's such a cop out,
but that's what Uncle Casey did last time he went to visit his brother.
I'm like, oh my gosh, why do you Why is there so many
of you who likes iPads? And you know what, they all like iPads?
It's crazy there's a hand them ount. I'm like, ah, sweet
relief. So I mean I could make other lists like in the past.
Right, it's a big deal if the president holds your baby, right,
oh my god, Like he's hold the baby and you get the photo of
the kids. Yeah, it's a classic political thing. I think Joe Biden
is like the first president in my lifetime where it's like, I don't know
if you want him holding the baby. Well, if we're going just holding
babies, I would also argue the former mayor of New York probably not a
good thing either, because of the baby squirms like that groundhog did problem right
there. I just replace the kid. They won't know. Well that is
how you do that, and they're like, oh, here's a new infant
with the same name. All right, anyway, seven twenty eight radio program.
Oh yeah, again, I get what he's saying there, but I
also get that we've heard way too many quotes where people are taking that way
too literally, especially with all the discussions going on right now. All Right,
we've got guardians and the galaxy stuff, the bud light thing and psychic
goats. Hang on, don't want to miss that celebrating ten years of keeping
you connected. This is ninety four five WPTI in the Triad and one oh
six one FM Talk in the Triangle. All right, good morning, seven
thirty five here on the case O Day radio program, grabbing some phone calls
here. I was just thinking, Ross, you have another alternative for babysitter
R. Kelly's in the area now so over in Button Apparently that's where they
sent him. Talk to him about you know, ignitions and stuff and music
and cam quarters and I'm yeah, there's a lot to be learned there.
I'm just saying he got options. AnyWho, Right, Uh, let me
grab a call here, Alan, Thanks for hanging on. What's going on?
No problem, man, you're a funny guard man like every time you
just haven't says Hume. However, um, I just wanted to discuss Kelly's
not doing anything right now, sir? You are there? Great anyway,
um donal lemon is the problem with him is he takes things very personal.
And again, everybody has their opinions due to their experience and things of that
nature. However, when to me, you're a news person, you have
to be engaging in. They manage your approach and how you approach the guest.
That's the guest. And you can't be hopping with them and put them
in certain positions. So you have to think and do with your emotions,
okay. And he didn't do a good job of that. She really did,
so that that caused his mother, Tucker. He was dealing with women.
When you talk about women in a misogynistic way, you're due. And
he used the C word. And now that he's dealing with Jewish people,
he had he had prejudice. And let me and let me say this,
do you think that there is ever a conversation I don't mean on the air
conversation. Do you think there's never a conversation word? People can be sitting
who are comfortable with each other and who may use the C word. Maybe
not in a professional heading, but like I've heard women be like, oh
that girl, she's a C word, right, And I'm not, you
should use your job. I would never, you know, I would not
surmise that that should happen. And I don't know because the allegations are based
on somebody who has a lawsuit. She may be one hundred percent right,
this grossberg woman. She may be wrong, but that's the extent of your
coverage. You're I don't feel that you're you're being very intellectually honest by the
on the part of the reporters covering this yesterday. What can I say this?
She takes ninety takes. So there there is an issue right there.
And as far as what you're saying, as far as you know the guy's
getting together, one of the things I learned is and this is this is
true when you have daughters, your whole perspective change in reference to that type
of situation and you have doggs. Okay, so you don't I don't disagree.
I don't disagree, but I'd say that the person more likely to use
the C word in my presence have been female acquaintances generally because they're talking about
other women. So okay, yeah, okay, and then be won't you
a lot? So oh yeah, yeah, have a point that I definitely
saying. You know, I guess you have a point, dear reference.
I'm just saying, as far a when that gets out, that damaging and
that it is, and then the laws to already and so that's what we
want and I want to pay no more money. And they know that the
lady got a lot of evidence so that I don't know. I mean a
lot of it's that. But but here's the deal. It's context, here's
right, here's where I'm gonna meet you, Alan, It's context. Right.
So if if I'm sitting there and I have a female intern and she
brings the coffee and it's the wrong temperature and I scream into her, get
me a new coffee, C word, that's very different than sitting around a
conservative program and people referring, perhaps too, I don't know AOC is the
C word during a pitch meetings as much as people don't want to hear that.
In the same way that I'm sure Donald Trump was referred to with horrible
stuff, and you're conservative women over on the CNN side of stuff, context
matters, and I think you would agree with that. If you're going to
hear that word, there's context where you would expect to hear it and you
wouldn't be offended versus times you just sit there and go did they just use
that word? And I think that's what they're going to have to break down.
From a lawsuit perspective, I would agree with that. I think that's
a serious perspective. I need to I appreciate something with you because the need
to be able to again, this is the things that need to happen,
even gender with racism and gender with people of color. Your stuff, you
haven't have a little bit avage competitions and context like you and I are doing.
And you know, I understand that perspectively what you're saying that you know
it does. Man, that's that's that's that's a good piece there to bring
up because basically you don't want to use it at all. Period. Now
let me ask you so well, right, I'm no, no, no,
that's what you should strive for. But the reality is the reality of
stuff. And look, there's some people don't use any you know, don't
use any uh we'll call the slang words or derogatory words ever, right,
they don't. They don't like any of it. Because every time I say
something like if I say ass on the radio and now there we go,
Now I'm gonna get emails and I understand that. So let me get to
the real meat of this where I let you go, Alan, would you
rather have Joe Biden, Michael Jackson or r Kelly babysit? Your kids?
Come on, man, no, no them man, boys, girls I
mean, I think it matters. I'm just saying adult young young women now
just of age. So nah needed now, no they're legal women. Well
R Kelly's not gonna like them if they're legal women. So you're all right,
all right, Alan, have a go one, okay, bigget easybody
have a later. Yeah, yeah, you got tween women watch out Rice
Safe with Michael Jackson there. We've heard before how people in that prison,
like have listened to the show before, Like we've heard that, Yeah,
because they've I've gotten letters because one of the deal is if people want to
contact the show. Um, I don't know if it still is state or
FED or exactly how it works. Basically, they'll send you a thing saying
they want to be able to talk to you, and they'll send you a
letter. I can't remember exactly what it says. But we've also gotten letters
mail from people in various prisons around here. And you know what, if
you're here's the thing I don't. I don't hate on prisoners. Man.
People screw up, and sometimes they screw up big time, and it's about
you know, bettering yourself and any of the rest of it. And sometimes
it's about sending us a giant letter about why you didn't do it. So
there's that. But I will tell you, if you send us a letter
and you're in prison, Ross is totally going to google your ass. We
did because I agree with the same thing right here in the are You deserve
us take a chance, you know, as long as it's not some sort
of like crazy, hainous crime that you're probably not going to ever get out.
Right, we've gone puppies, you know, don't send us Where we
get letters and we google them, We're like, okay, and I'll have
correspondence with the person. But we've also had letters before where the person seems
normal. One you google their name and you're like, oh good god,
you did what and that person we're not writing back. You beat one baby
to death with a puppy and it's like, ah, well, my boy
was listening. R Kelly could be listening, which means he could we have
a chance for him to hear the famed R. Kelly Dolphin audio. Oh
that's right, I could be listening. He could be in his cell right
now and he's never heard it before because we played on the show for years.
Remember there's a story I don't even remember what it was about some guy
who's making love with a dolphin or some Yeah. No, no, it
was a dolphin trainer who was all about he was all about some dolphin love.
He got really close with his dolphin. But and and and but was
there an R. Kelly actually bastardized his song. We we found like a
romantic you know, like a R. Kelly song, and when we put
it to the dolphin and we we've played it repeatedly and it's now known as
on the show as the R. Kelly Dolphin audio. And we found multiple
times to use this audio. And now we've just found another. Looking for
minds telling me no, but my body, my body telling me her.
At no point, when you're a kid, imagine what you're gonna do with
your life. Do you ever go I'm gonna one day I'm gonna be sitting
on Adobe audition mixing R. Kelly and dolphin drops. No, because that
was before the drugs and so. But he could get a sum right now.
I heard that for the first time. Bro, we just did a
remix. We just did a remix. I'm telling you this is coming back.
My mind's telling me no, but my body, my body telling me
her By the way, how horned up does that dolphin sound? Ah?
Dude, he wants it? Yeah? Yeah, yeah he or she?
Let's not gender the dolphin. Come on, man, ah, I wonder
if he would like it or he's like kicking his cell wall right now?
Pastardize my song? Which which college do you think he's for those of you
don't know up at Buttner or The different dorms are named after ACC colleges,
and I can't I try to remember which ones with the child sex stuff.
I always thought that was. I think it's it's an NC state that's the
child I always thought that was unfair. It's like, come on, man,
why do I gotta be the uh, the the kid diddler the chomo
U dorm? We had a we have a I know, we have a
guard up there that listens on the regular because he's like, hey, you
want to come up here. I'm like, I don't know. That sounds
like a trick, But did do the broadcast from there? No, Johnny
Cash, you want to come up to a you know, check it out.
I'm like, I don't know about that. I'm good. That sounds
like ha ha, we got you. Thank I guess you could have in
the show man. Why don't you know you got a DC do that conference
every year and you're like, oh, who is it? Oh it's uh,
you know, Sheriff Sam Page or whatever. And this would be like,
oh, who's on the show today? You're like, R Kelly,
why is my leg wet? What's happening? I don't know? Oh no,
I just you know, it's one of those things you're like, it
turns into an earnest goes to jail situation, seems seems troubling. All right,
we get more calls coming up seven forty six race age from the Weather
Channel. Hello, R Kelly's in the audience now, So I just moved
him to the federal prison here. So well, there you go. Basically,
we've had the blind chic Bernie made offf and now R Kelly. So
but we know that there's some people up there about never listen. So,
because I've gotten letters where a prisoner wants to be able to send you stuff,
they literally send you a letter first, right, I want to send
you stuff. Here's a letter. Yeah, why is the letter wet?
What's going on? I have no idea. I don't even know what that
means. A wet good lead in there. YEA, yeah, rain chance
is going up up. Beautiful day today, a little chili this morning,
but when we get back mid upper sixties should do it. Or it's still
is about ten twelve degrees below average. And then as we go through tonight,
we'll see some clouds early than clear, a little bit of forties,
and we'll start to see a little light rain. Maybe tomorrow afternoon doesn't look
like a bunch of tomatowes. Look a bad some morning sunshine and the clouds
will start to come in upper sixties to maybe some low seventies around. But
as we get into Thursday afternoon and especially into Friday, I think we'll see
the showers pick up a little bit. Slight chance Thursday still upper sixties,
low seventies, and then Friday scattered areas of showers around. It's probably going
to continue into the weekend. Friday night into Saturday there maybe a period of
steadier rainfall. So the message here is going to be not a bunch of
rain, and so maybe later Thursday Thursday night and then rains on again off
again, whether it showers or steady rain at times of probably then starting later
Thursday, maybe even through Sunday before sunshine returns early next week. So we
do have a couple more days of let's say, mainly dry weather today being
the best, and then again just that slight chance of some showers tomorrow and
Thursday, but the Thursday night to Friday and beyond that through Sunday it'll be
a little unsettled. So I'll be here tomorrow find tune all that. Don't
think I'm gonna learn much more in the next hour when we talk again,
Casey, but hopefully we can find some more opportunities for dry weather. Mixed
it all right? Or are Kelly wet puns? We'll see that too.
We'll do what we do, all right, Thanks man, appreciate it.
Okay, Ross, I just got an email here and I think it's intended
for you. Can I read it to you real quick? Yes, you're
go ahead. And it's from Kathy. Who is the dude that Ross is
going to do a show on what's his name so I can google him?
Never heard of him? If he said, I missed it because I had
to go to work, but you never said who it is. Shame on
you. Right this point I was making as Ross's Dusty Rhodes Power Hour.
Well, it's gonna be replacing Tucker Carlson and Fox and yeah, but who
is Dusty Rhodes? She wants to know. I mean, God, we're
not Google, and this is something you should know, especially if you're living
in the South. He's a wrestler. Man, He's just an old school
wrestler, got quite the how do I say, personality on him. I've
had, like on Twitter, I've had like a ridiculous amount of followers in
the past twenty four hours, right, and I'm thinking there might be some
people who believe my post about being Tucker's replacement with with Ross's Dusty Rhodes Power
Hour. People believe that you got your infant son ten days after his birth
lasic. So I'm just pointing out that people believes, and they were very
very for those of you missed it. Right after Lincoln was born, Ross
said he they said he was he had trouble with his eyes, so we
got him lasick and people lost their crap, right, but we said,
first we brought him to the tanning bed. Yeah, right, he's pale
and pasty. Well they're very pasty when they're that, you know, just
born. So but now he can see and uh, he looks like Tanning
mom so like he was kissed by the sun. So that's who that is.
Man. But Dusty Rhodes, Dusty Rhodes, you want to google it?
All right? Seven fifty hang on the show? After the show is
on the iHeart Radio app. Search Casey O Day for the podcast on the
iHeart Radio app. Oh, hold on, now I got email here?
All right, So Kathy apparently googled Usty Roads. She's not down with the
show. Another run road. I thought Ross was talking about country music.
Dusty Rhodes take me Home. I think it's country roads. But okay,
all right. And Boston Paul isn't the UNI bomber and Butler, Yes he
is. And all mail from him I put in Ross's mailbox so he won't
open it because he's a coward. But maybe on his new show, we'll
see. All right, to the phones, here we go, Donna,
you're up next, Go ahead, Good morning, Casey. Another babysitter for
Ros, although I'm not sure that give him a radio ched Kazinski and a
bomber. Well, yeah, it's funny in mentioning, So yeah, I
just want to give a shout out to him. Hello, ched, how
you doing. Hey, Yeah, I've been to Lincoln, Montana. It's
very nice. So no, he's here in butner I understand that, I
know, and if he's listening, I just want to let him know.
Lincoln Tanna's very nice, very nice. Yes, So Ross doesn't want Biden
to come over and and let Lincoln Harry leg Yeah, you don't have You
don't have Biden over the whole. If you get him as a babysitter,
you got to send the kid to the White House. Wow, wow,
bowling alley of theater room, all sorts of Probably. I agree with what
rest he said, though I hope that he runs on that, because that's
a sailing issue. Nobody wants the state to run on their children. Whether
that problem and the problem is, as I point thank you for the call
there, Donna. As I pointed out contextually, I understand the context of
wanting to teach her to think of every kid in a personal you know,
take personal responsibility. I got that. But once it's been bastardized by the
Randy Weingarten's of the world and politicians who literally mean it, people are going
to cringe when they hear it. Bob, real quick what's up? Hey,
guys, first call her a long time listener. Thank you so much
for your program. And it's got a couple of points from are you calling
from the prison? No, no, sir, I am not. I'm
headed up to the prison this afternoon or in butner but not not current resident
there, no, sir. All right, Well, just a couple of
things. Yeah, if you don't know who Dusty Rhodes is, then go
back to California, you know. And it's the whole you beat you know,
you kill one baby with you know, by beating it with a puppy.
That's classic. That's awesome. Um. And you know, if if
the country's gonna take care of my kids, I won't need some reparations for
Ross, you know. Oh and for Ross, how about the Dali lama
watching his kid? I mean, I'm just saying you have a lot of
babysitters in the roster because you're not always able to get the first one you
want. So perhaps, sir, the puppy lived by the way for all
of you who are horror so just you know, to provide clarity and contact,
just shows you know, all right, good morning everybody. It is
a verse seven and is Welcome Aco gay Or Radio program phone number eight eight
eight nine three four seven eight seventy four. Roof wow. I just reading
this story, old on, Where where did this happen? I just assume
everyone who owns a ramen shop is a yukuza boss. Where's this New York
Ryu? Oh? His name is Ryu. I don't know if you know
about Ryu. Kind of a badass dude. It's a street fighter reference.
Please are investigating after Ryu? Nohigium Oh No, I'm sorry, that's the
name of okay. So the guy's name is Ryu. Manubo Yojima was found
dead in I don't know what he j means in Japanese, but anyway,
the sixty five year old owner of the restaurant found dead with blood coming out
of a wound from his head. It was later determined that actually, no,
that's crazy, so they think he was killed her in an argument with
the customer. However, they say that this individual is actually noted by police
as a former organized crime sendicate boss. So wait, he's in yakuza and
he's just like, you know what, I'm gonna make ramen? Oh?
You know who? That reminds me of Ross the Sword guy from kill bill,
right, didn't he open like a ramen shop? Yeah? Yeah,
ha Tori Hanzo yeah, Hatri Hanzo. He's like, yeah, I'm done,
I'm gonna open a bad restaurant. Yojima was said to be affiliated with
the Yamaguchi Gummy, the largest yakuza organization in Japan that also has infiltrated parts
of the United States. But they, I guess they think that it was
just a customer thing that killed. That's crazy. You're a yakuza boss,
right, or a higher up. You're like, I'm out, which you
know, it's already hard enough to leave because I want to open a ramen
restaurant. And then some dude who's mad is Ramen is cold? Greases you.
That's just the universe catching up to you. Man. Anyway, crazy
story there, all right? Eight eight eight nine three four seven eight seven
four. Sorry, easily distracted. It's how I roll what I do.
Can't help it. My dad have to say, you know, when it's
your time, it's your time. Yeah, this guy forever in the retires
right collecting that. Yeah, who's a pension or whatever it is? Do
you think they have a program. I don't know. You know, he's
a union gig, just making your cup on noodles there and dead. Do
you think they've divested a fossil fuels so they could be more socially conscious in
the big people, I'm just wondering. I gotta get on board. That's
the hip thing to do if you want to lose your ass in the stock
market. Oh. I said the A word twice in a show some of
your emails people, so I talked about bud Light, and um, what's
interesting here is you know, most of the time when there's a boycott going
on against a company, whoever's doing the boycott will tell you it's wildly successful,
but ultimately you don't know. However, what's interesting with the Anaheiser Bush
thing is we're right in the report and earning season right now, so we're
getting some pretty specific looks at a publicly traded company at at the very same
time all of this is going on, and they're reporting that they're down seventeen
percent and especially during Yeah, here we go. Currently, bud Light over
the most recent month is now down seventeen percent nationwide for the weekend in April
fifteenth, And obviously they're not going to come out and say what's up.
But the fact is that sounds pretty successful. Seventeen percent down seventeen percent,
especially when you're dealing with a company that's pretty steady even during you know,
even during COVID right makers of alcohol, other than running into some supply chain
issues. Hell, they actually they saw an uptick. People are sitting at
home all day, they're surrounded by their family. You have nothing to do.
Yeah, I need to drink. So most of them, most of
them saw uptick. There. They're pretty recession proof. So when you're down
seventeen percent, it's pretty undeniable that something's up. This actually doesn't compass a
month. Encompasses three weeks from the initial airing of the mulvaniad, where you've
seen a precipitous drop week after week. Now seventeen percent nationwide as of ten
days ago. So we'll get reporting here at the end of the month,
because you get twice monthly on that. Now, initially the reporting was that
the marketing woman was fired and that is was actually quote put on leave,
and I think they actually put another executive on leave who was part of this.
And you know, bud Light had an opportunity to sit there. We
put the stupid ad up ross real quick from a last week bud Light had
an opportunity to try to thread the needle on this, and the way that
they thread the needle is they take issue not with the Mulveny thing, right
because they know they're gonna then irritate the other side of this, but they
take issue with the part where she's literally on video talking about you know how
the people who made bud Light and continue to make bud Light popular, of
those seventeen percent less are a bunch of frat people and she doesn't like that
image right that right, there should be enough for them to go, you
know what, maybe you're not the right marketing person. The smarter thing for
her to say was, you know, we have this image of um bud
light drinkers and we love that and we want to expand it in bud lights
for everybody. That would have been the smart way to play that, but
she was dumb. She went on video and basically trashed on the customers,
and in bud Light had just taken issue with that, they probably could have
threaded some of this and wouldn't be looking at seventeen percent, But instead,
what do they do? They put out the dumbest uh America ad you've ever
seen. This thing is so lacking and give a crap, what did JO
saw? Joe Rogan was with Jim Brewer and they were talking about and he's
just like, this is what would happen if you're just like, hey,
AI, make me the motion pro America beer ad. Ever, right,
did you see that clip for us with I haven't, but yeah, they're
just exactly what it is. This, what's that? It's exactly what it
is. Yeah, it might have even been produced by AI, know that
you mentioned it. They're just like, it's like the it's like an eighty
five year old board member when mom, remember America? Remember one that used
to work? Let's try that. And then some hip kids like, dear
AI, give us an America. You should check the Clydesdale for next or
hoof or whatever. You know what I mean. I'm just saying, just
saying, it's an Easter egg. Don't don't, don't trash on it.
Let me listen. You gotta see it because it's that dumb, But listen
to this thing. Let me tell you a story. I'm about a beer
rooted in the heart of America, found in a community where a handshake is
a sure contract. By the way, that's not good legal advice. I
don't want to point that out. If you don't believe me, watch Judge
Judy Brood for those who found opportunity and challenge and hope in tomorrow, raised
by generations willing to sit share risk. Remember, this is a story bigger
than beer, by the way, they got this. But Clydesdale's running all
the running on the beach, running in the mountains, little uh, you
know, does himself a little uh, a little rearing up just you know,
And it's just pure Merica. This is the story of the American spirit.
And so they put that thing out and arguably that was more of an
admission of yeah, we aft up than really anything. But yeah, I
thought the take that it was basically what I would pokey America first beer ad
spot on spot incredibly insulting, right, what do you mean? It's patriotic?
And it would be it would be a great ad in any other time
span besides when they put it on the air, because yeah, I just
be a great ad. It would just be this am old, same old
you know what I mean? Yeah, I bet, but it wouldn't listen
but you're right context match, Yeah, it's pandering. They're like, oh,
these stupid rednecks over there, because aren't they even in Belgium or something
where they out of right, well, in Bev's out of South Africa,
I believe. Yeah, Oh okay, so these dumb Americans are all pissed
off over this Dylan mulvaney stuff. So let's serve them up some red meat
and they'll be fine because they're stupid idiots and they have no idea. And
it's which isn't even in Look, it's a Clivesdale going past the flag on
the moon, you know, Yeah, no, it is, it is.
It is insulting. Well, I want to make sure I have this
right, Uh, in the of headquarters, I believe, or maybe it's
the person who absorbed Miller, do I can spell? No, they are
in Belgium. Yeah, No, it's the Miller, the millerd parent company
that's out of them. But yes, And I don't even have a problem
because if you're a beer company and you're headquartered out of like Germany or Belgium,
that's not necessarily a negative because you know, they were they were acquired,
they were acquired, but they were a Saint Louis based company, annheuser
Busch International merge with anheuser Busch and in bev and the latest brewer in the
world, moving the headquarters to Levon, Belgium. So there you go,
all right, eight eighteen here on the case O Day radio program. Yeah,
it was just awful, and now you're seeing it. You're seeing it
with the maths. Seventeen percent, seventeen percent, even if it's for a
month, that's that. That'll scare investors real fast right there. And I
don't know if it was just people have had enough where they actually did the
pushback, or it's the start of a new trend. Obviously it's been analyzed
to death at this point, but when you actually see the numbers, it's
pretty crazy, all right. Coming up on the show, I didn't know
this was a thing. Every country's different. Apparently there's a psychic goat named
Zacharias. How do we not have a psychic goat here on the show?
Apparently it's a psychic goat and it's psychic powers include predictions about the British royal
family. You know, this reminds me of It reminds me of that stupid
octopus that picks World Cup winners. Apparently there's a psychic goat who just knows
stuff about the royals, who maybe Princess I should have consulted. But it's
got some predictions, so we'll get to that. And I read this story
yesterday, the rise of Christian porn Stars. We'll be delicate with this,
but I'm very curious, very very curious your thoughts on this, Leola.
It's like the ninth email I've gotten on this hold on. Yeah, I
for all of you who's sending me the meth dear thing. I don't think
the story's real, but maybe I'm wrong, Maybe I'm wrong. We'll get
into just the whole news network looks a little suss, so to speak.
If you don't know what that is, I will explain it to you,
even though I don't think it's real, just because like twelve of you have
sent me this this morning. So meth Dear, Christian porn stars and psychic
goats, exactly what every news talk station should have on their show today.
We'll have it all for you. Coming up. Celebrating ten years is still
going strong. Thank you. Casey is WPTI in the Triad and one oh
six one FM talk in the Triangle. That's with the meth dear story and
I am both bladdered and we'll creep out with the sheer volume of people who
sent the story to me this morning. Because it is the site that originated,
it's a parody site. There's there's a bunch of clues here, so
it's not even the mug shot is actually another person's mug shot. So but
as crazy as everyone is might be true. You know, meth squirrel was
a thing. Unfortunately this one is not. But if you don't know the
story, there was a story floating around apparently everywhere yesterday based out of Gastonia.
Forty three year old woman who allegedly captured baby deer, raised them in
her home but trained them to attack people was arrested by police. Well first
as taken into custody by game in fish, but it's over a robbery charts,
that's not who's arresting you. The time of the arrest, the woman,
Bridget Tisdale, in possession of several grams of meth and four deer and
a bevy of stolen electronics. Apparently Tisdale, And again the story's not real,
but Tisdale began giving meth to young deer and then taking him along as
she rummaged through garages and back porches. At the time of her discovery,
a homeowner who had been robbed actually followed one of the deer back to the
residents and found himself face to face with Tisdale, who was said to be
wearing just a duct tape bikini. Lots of clues here, but sadly not
real. However, if one of you is motivated enough, you could make
it. Get yourself some duct tape, get some deer, get some meth
steel and who knows, you could be on the show you got. You
know you're gonna have to work on it, just saying, and a psychic
goat has made new predictions. Apparently the goat only a psychic when it comes
to the Royal family, and it's bad news for the British Royals, saying
that the brothers at the coronation of their dad, Frinch William and Prince Harry
will not reconcile. So says the psychic goat, because I know you care
about this stuff, both the Royals and psychic animals, And now you know,
hang on a new decade on the calendar and celebrating ten years on the
air. This is one oh six one FM Talk in the Triangle and nears
Talk WPTI in the Triad. All right, good morning, eight thirty five
here on the case O DA radio program. Saw this story yesterday. UM,
I can imagine what most people are gonna think, because you know,
pretty obvious. But Ah, Courtney to Leah t I L L I A.
For those of you googling, thirty five year old Courtney to Leah,
who was a history teacher yep, was a was a school teacher. High
school teacher for quite some time. Said she just didn't feel like she was
living her best life, didn't know what her purpose was, how she was
actually meant to help others. So she left teaching and decided that she would
find something else. And one day, she said, she was hit with
divine inspiration. She said, God's message on that day became abundantly clear my
way of serving. I'm here to be a porn star. Oh yeah,
Now the reporter wrote this up with a straight face. She said God put
her on earth to help liberate women from sexual shame, and six or seven
years ago she joined only fans, becoming the first Christian only fans star.
Apparently she has quite the subscriber base. She said initially she felt shame,
before slowly realizing that her quick her strict Christian upbringing was the cause of her
guilt and that she was there again to liberate women. She along with her
husband, took to only fans and the rest is history history. She says
she's empowered by the joy from her new subscribers, probably the money too,
but also being able to share the message with those who tune in for her
content. All Right, I have a question, because I know the easy
thing and some of you've already sent me the email. You're not a Christian
porn star. That's not something that comports with Christian ideology, and I got
that. But I have a question for people who are more interested in the
titillating nature of what she does, who are tuning in for that aspect.
It doesn't creep you out that she starts sharing the good news during the video.
That's the part. That's the part that I couldn't wrap my head around.
As I'm sitting there and I'm looking at the story, Ross, you
didn't get any context. You just saw the stories I sent it into the
prep. That's the thing that weirded me out more than just all of it,
because it's it's one thing to just be a delusional but the part where
you're then people are tuning in for that, and then during that you're like,
have you been saved? Or maybe that's part of the reason people tune
in. I don't know. Sounds like she's killing it financially. I don't
think most people would agree that necessarily God called on her to be a porn
star, but I would think that's the last thing that dude staring at her
that they're her videos want to hear, you know what I'm saying. So
any who eight eight eight nine three four seven eight seven four, that's just
a thing. I saw him sharing it with you. Some of you've already
sent me email where you're like, it's not cool. I got it.
I got it, But my mind works in weird ways, and I'm just
like, I can't imagine. Right, You're sitting there watching that and like
she she's just all the actions going on, but she's like, can let
me tell you about John three sixteen? I just I don't understand, but
I don't know. I I did not watch a video. So I didn't
I did not do the most thorough of research because I was creeped out by
the whole thing. So, but there's a lot of weirdos out there who
are into a lot of weird stuff, which is why there's wizard porn,
as we come to find out. So anyway, but maybe it's a whole
genre that's just waiting to happen, and it will run the gamut of all
religions, right, not just that. Maybe you get an Islamic, or
you get Jewish, or you get Druid. I'm sure there already is ros
do you think there's druid porn? That's probably a thing already, But I
don't know that they're recruiting. So what they're doing to that hinge is disgusting.
Well, I said, why is it all? What is that baby
oil all over it? What's going on? What if that's what the hinge
is for? Because we don't really know, right, they look at Stonehenge.
They you know, they understand the alignment with the solstices, but other
than that, they don't really know what they did there. And remember history
is wrought with weird sexual stuff. I'm thinking looking at you Caligula's orgy boats.
See that story last week where they found like an ancient vineyard next to
it is literally next to that lake where they had the orgy boats. You
went for wine tasting and then got on the orgy boat. These are actual
things they found in this lake near Roome. They you know, they're tearing
the whole side. They were living their best lives until Caligula. Well yes,
I mean you know what he did. I'm just saying, well,
you are as long as you're in as good graces. But imagine Caligula like
invites you to the orgy boat and you're like, yeah, man, it's
psychotic, bascard, he's crazy, but I really want on that boat.
We go to wine tasting first, Yeah, well you want on the right
boat. You're taking a chance. Remember there was three boats, and there
was a pecking order, no pun intended, right, so you had like
obviously, uh, you know, a team boat, right with Caligula and
the you know, best of the best, and you want to be on
a team boat. Maybe then he got B team. Maybe you want to
be on B team because at least Caligula is not there. And then it
goes down to like you know, right day squad hooters. Yeah, come
on, man, you know what it's like. It's like you ever see
Wolf of Wall Street. It's like when he's talking about the three levels of
prostitutes they had in there. Yeah, but then there's the Yeah there's C
team, which we're assuming that's the lepper boat. Right, it's going on
there. Stuff's just breaking off. You don't know, just mayhem, but
at least you're not on colleguative's boat, and you know, it gets mad
at you and then off with your head or whatever. But yeah, history
is wrought with this stuff. So maybe all right eight eight eight nine three
four seven eight seven four stop it. If you send me emails I can't
read on the air but are funny, then you're just it's not gonna work.
All right, let's do this. Eight forty three we got race stage,
make this transition for we get in trouble, Christian porn stars or a
thing. Oh you wrap your head around that. I really can't. I
mean, considering the way I was raised, that would be a tough one.
She says. It's her messages. She's out there to make women feel
more comfortable and not guilty about their sexuality. Because that's what God put her
on earth to do. And I just think if if you watch one of
those videos and she starts trying to get you baptized in the middle, I
don't even want to know what that looks like. But um, I just
that's just it's so creepy. Man. I didn't even I didn't even do
all the googling. I would normally do it for one of these stories because
I just didn't want another yea, not yet, definitely not gonna go to
that one. But her last day spelled to leah t I l L I
A first name Courtney, So there you go. All right, these people
want this research, yeah, just as the weather research. Yeah, we'll
do some of that. And it's not a tough one today. Lots of
sunshine and some clouds and mid up her sixties, so we do stay just
slightly down below average, maybe eight to ten degrees. Now as we go
through Wednesday and Thursday, there'll be a chance to see in a few showers,
mainly during the afternoon hours. I really don't see a bunch of rainfalls,
so should be mainly dry for the majority of the daylight hours both days.
Upper sixties to low seventies, and then I really think we'll ramp up
the rain chances Thursday, Friday, Thursday night into Friday, excuse me,
and maybe Saturday as an area of low pressure is trying to develop in maybe
widespread showers around as we look ahead towards Thursday night and Friday, and then
Friday night into Saturday, although Saturday we may get some dry periods start to
mix back in same thing with Sunday. So there's a window there Thursday night
through Friday where we're probably gonna have our highest chances even on into Friday night,
and then we go more scattered for the upcoming weekends. So there's still
a little work to do in the late week forecast, but it does look
like we'll get a little wetter before we get any dryer, and I don't
see any real heat coming back. If anything, we may see temperatures briefly
get back into the seventies, which I think it's like mid upper seventies the
average highs for this time of year. We may get close that by um
maybe this upcoming weekend, So we'll see. Do you think it's all missionary?
What? I don't even know what that means? Okay, all right,
probably all right, all right, I was wondering. Man, all
right, thank you, arn'chie. Sorry you got drug into this mess?
All right, Jeff bell Okay, what do you think? Ray's just gonna
no show tomorrow. I'm curious about Jeff's opinion. You want it, you
want it? I don't have to. I'm it's curious. Somebody wrote on
Twitter druid porn called bone hinge. Oh yeah, we'll run about Jeff.
What the hell? All right? Ang Lucy's next ten years of news twice
an hour and smart Talk all day, ninety four five WPTI in the Triad
and one oh six one FM Talk in the Triangle. Good morning, eight
fifty two Bloomberg Update now, Jeff Bellinger, what's happening today? Oh,
good morning? Case stocks We're mixed at the close yesterday, futures a little
bit lower this morning. Now futures are down seventy eight points. It's already
a bad week for several high profile media people, and it's only Tuesday.
Tucker Carlson out at Fox News, Don Lemon out at CNN. Russell Wolf,
the executive who oversaw streaming a streaming operations at ESPN. He got caught
up in a new round of layoffs at Walt Disney, and things all started
with the announcement that Nbcuniversals CEO Jeff Shell was fired over an inappropriate relationship Cisco
Systems raising new concerns today about artificial intelligence software the tech company as AI will
likely make it easier for hackers to create convincing emails and texts for use and
so called phishing scams. Cisco says about eighty percent of computer system break ins
already come through phishing attacks that trick people into clicking on a malicious link.
A lot of shoppers were disappointed yesterday if they went to bed Bath and Beyond
stores expecting to find big going out of business bargains. The retailer filed for
bankruptcy and announced plans to liquidate and shut down by the end of June,
but reports from around the country indicate it was business as usual yesterday. Employees
at several Bedbath and Beyond outlets said the discounts will begin in earnest tomorrow.
There was a bigger than expected quarterly profit at three M but that's not enough
to avert another round of layoffs. The manufacturer announced it will cut about six
thousand jobs as part of an ongoing restructuring. Higher menu prices not keeping customers
away from McDonald's. The fast food giants first quarter sales and profits topped analyst
expectations, and Casey, a Taylor Swift album may be destined to become a
collector's item. Variety reports the double LP Long Pond Studio Sessions, which was
an exclusive limited edition for Record Store Day, will likely be among the top
ten albums when Billboard publishes its next chart. Seventy five thousand copies were available
domestically. It is believed most of them were sold on Saturday, and another
printing is not expected. So this is it, okay, okay, all
right, well, thank you very much, Jeff, we'll chat car sounds
good. Talk to you. Then take care. All right, there you
go, Jeff Bellinger Bloomberg. I couldn't do it. Sorry, I know
some of you are upset. A bartender by the name of Dan Saunders is
in hot Water. So apparently he went to an ATM in was it Melbourne,
Florida? Melbourne, I guess Florida, okay, And so he went
to an ATM and discovered that the ATM was allowing you to withdraw him way,
way, way beyond your balance. It's a little little glitch in the
software there. So after a bit of trial and air, the twenty nine
year old realized he'd found a loophole and for over the course of five months,
he was able to withdraw one point six million dollars, which, according
to police, he threw. He used to throw lavish parties, by drugs,
rent prostitutes, charter private jets, and even paid off one of his
friends student loans as crazy man. How did he get caught? He turned
himself in. He said he started to feel guilty about it and eventually went
to police and explained, I gotta think the banks wondering what happened to one
point six million dollars. He doesn't say what the glitch was, so you're
screwed there, But it sound like he had a hell of a time.
But yeah, I know he turned himself in and this wasn't even one of
those weird ones. We're like to make a bank here and then you're like,
oh, there's eight hundred thousand of my account, I should go spend
that. We do those stories all the time. No, this dude figured
out. I don't know However, five months you don't figure out who's jacking
you for one point six million dollars, that is crazy. All right,
well, don't do that, all right and quickly. This so apparently a
company called Space Adventures, which is a contracted company that works with various the
tourism space programs are upcoming. So Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos all of this
has announced a honeymoon in space, and now scientists are concerned. Yep,
yep, yep, yep, yep. So as part of the honeymoon in
space, because they also work with the Russians, a couple would be allowed
to make their way to the International Space Station, which they're already doing.
They already have tourists there. However, in this case, the SOYS capsule
capsule would be utilized for honeymoon stuff. However, scientists say that they're not
entirely sure that's a good idea, claiming that some research suggests that human conception
and space could have detrimental effects due to sperm mutations. All Right, I'm
reading this story and I'm thinking superhero, right, I mean, I'm just
assuming if you if you do this, you got the jack to do this,
you go up you get busy in this space capsule on the way to
the space station, and you conceive, I'm assuming that kid's going to have
superpowers, right if they're worried about mutations. But I don't know how you
stop people if you're gonna stick a couple newlyweds and a capsule by themselves.
Can you imagine if one if it did happen and some kid did come out
with some like super genius or powers, you should fake it. I bet
your business goes up one hundredfold, bro. All Right, so that's something
they're concerned about. There you go,
