Oh fine, if you gotta do this, let's go ahead and do this.
You know what, there should be a There should be like an easing
in process. Ross. I was thinking about this, if we don't work
any days in a week like next the week after three days maximum do you
know what I'm saying? Oh? I agree completely, Oh and threes being
generous? Right? Really I was going to see a two four scale and
then back to full. But I was gonna say two, but I could
compromise in three. Yeah, well know to the week directly after, for
the week after, and then back to five. Do you know what I'm
saying? Easing into it? So three is my compromise. If you want
to transition just in a week, so you'll take that to management, that
would be great and we'll see where it goes. So pretty excited about that.
But regardless, we're here and people are out doing what you know,
people are out there doing. Oh my gosh, idiot from both kids?
Is idiot a strong enough word? Not that you know the context yet,
I mean, really, is idiot a strong enough word? If you were
a parent in the situation which I will describe, Ros, do you feel
that that is a strong enough word? To describe what this gentleman is doing
in it's a small world. I mean, you can come up with stronger
ones, the prime more appropriate. Also speaking of appropriateness, is that the
ride you're selecting for that just from an ego standpoint. So that story is
interesting. I'll give you the details on that. I want you to contemplate
ride selection as well. And it troubles me that this comes what like,
the week before we're on vacation, we were talking about remember everybody going,
hey, you know what, can't make it to a bathroom, gonna just
do this anywhere please at Disney And that would that would be relieve oneself of
the highest order, because then boom, we got this story. In fact,
we got all sorts of Florida fun because you know, Florida keeps producing.
Oh wait, hold on, people are sending me emails this morning,
dictor. Well, it's from Boston, Paul, and it just says the
bears. Are there bears around? Paul? Are you dealing with bears in
your yard? Or are they I I didn't sit around the radio station.
Is there some sort of there's some sort of bear issue in the Greater Raleigh
area, Do you guys do you guys have bears up in wake forest?
I have no idea what Paul's referring to Ross. You have to fight any
bears go in your vehicle. I saw some deer this morning. I had
to slow down for well, I didn't sit any bears. Maybe maybe they're
running away from bears. I was gonna say, probably those deer not with
us anymore. So yeah, Hey, I have no idea what you mean,
sir. I just appreciate your email this morning. If it's a warning
of some sort, I'd like you to remember that doesn't really bother me.
I got training and stuff, so I wouldn't worry about it. But Ross,
if you would during the segments, if you would keep an eye open,
perhaps perhaps head over to the weather window. There you go, okay,
and if you see any bears, sound the alarms. Okay. Ross
is happy because this is totally his kind of gig, just keeping an eye
out for bears. But yeah, no, thank you for the email,
Boston, Paul, glad your liver held out for one more day. All
right, six twelve coming up on the show. Like I said, we
go to Florida because that's what we do. You're not gonna believe this.
Do y'all know who dead Spin is? So dead Spin is the wokest of
woke sports outlets, which is saying something nowadays. There they were of the
Goker family. I believe they were sold, but they were of the Goker
family. So basically you have all these different disciplines. Kotaku is video games.
Reportedly, what's the what's the car one? Jip something right like jelat
Nick. I think, yeah, yeah, that was the car one.
And we just had a story about how the angry feminist site is Jezebel that's
going out of business. I think Goker was the head of all of this.
What you had to know is whatever they claim to be focused on,
they kind of were, but only from woke angles. And so there,
you know, there was a lot of absurdity there. They really not that
other sports media hasn't really joined in on this, but they were the ones
most likely to write sports stories that largely had nothing to do with sports and
everything to do with woke politics. Well, they decide they identified an enemy
this week, and I know you're going to be shocked to learn upon the
review of the story, in just a moment of Google clicks, it appears
they're not being honest with you. And the target of the stories, you
know, a little kid, excuse me, evil racist little kid who they
publicly named and went after with a misleading photo. Oh yeah, yeah,
that whole thing is just horrible. And NBC News has some thoughts on Christmas.
So that's uh a little teaser for you. So we get things rolling
and keep an eye out for bears. Thank you, Boston Paul. But
for now six point fifteen, back in just a few does he have does
he have a big top hat and like an expensive gain or is it not
like he's been going in his closet looking for clothes that are appropriate? Oh
my, all right, No, it's like a full production back into this
other Florida thing, please, because I don't deal with this in my life,
and I'm not sure how I would initially respond to that. So Lincoln's
found, He's found a hot new Christmas movie. Right, yeah, So
I showed him a Mickey's a Christmas Carol because I loved that when I was
a kid. Okay, right, so that, but basically it's it's a
Christmas Carol for all practical purposes, it's just the Mickey version, right,
it's Mickey and yeah, Scrooge stories, and it's the story cut down at
like twenty five thirty minutes for children, and it's it's a great rendition of
it. It's really good. But he calls it the three Ghosts movie,
and I'm telling you that's accurate to the story. Yeah, Sometimes autism can
be a real struggle. It can be tough sometimes. I talked about his
last break. He cried pretty much twenty four hours a day. Everything was
making upset because of the transition. Sometimes, so it could be very funny
and it can be fun. So he's done this thing the past two nights
where he wakes up like we're sleeping, we're all out, we're all passed
out. We could have better, like eight eight thirty, we're passed out.
But like around twelve o'clock, right on the nose, he wakes up.
He has no alarm, he just wakes up and we can see him
on the monitor and he says walking in his room and he's whispering, and
I'm like, does he have to go to the bathroom? So I go
up there and I'm like, you know, I'm being very quiet behind him,
and I can see him in the room and he's got his window open,
the drapes open, and he's whispering, jimminy cricket, is that the
window? Here come the three ghosts? Can he acts out being Scrooge encountering
the three ghosts? You just said that? And I was trying to like,
is she like pretend firing staff on Christmas? I mean, what,
how do you how do you know? Okay, that's gonna be a dead
giveaways. Okay, it's so funny though, but then he starts running around
the room. You know, he's like, go spooky Ghostie, and it's
like, here's the thing, though, there's three ghosts in that movie obviously,
right right, there's past, present, and future. And he's watched
the film so many times. By the way, Yeah he knows exactly because
they show in the movie, and it's part of the movie what time the
ghosts show up? So this isn't like a thing in that last ten minutes.
This is a three hour production that's happened at our house to pass few
nights. So the first ghost shows up at like twelve, the second ghost
shows up at one, and the final one is three am. Yeah,
no, no, no, he's he's nailed the time. I think,
if this is on you, if I could, for not doctoring the video,
to have the ghost arrival around like six thirty, right, and then
six forty five and then maybe seven. Do you know what I'm saying?
Yeah, let let the AI work for you. Obviously over it'll be incomprehensible.
But then you'll have your your theater or you know, time it for
right after when you're done with prep. I think that would be perfect.
So so well, I'm glad he's in the movie. I do have some
bad news. You haven't seen this story. So NBC News the article headline,
does Christmas music turn you into the Grinch? Your brain and health on
Christmas? And this thing's a doozy because it's not just about Christmas. Carols
is a rebuke of anyone who would spend a lengthy amount of time celebrating the
Christmas holiday, you know, by doing things like putting up lights and trees
really early, or jumping on the Christmas Carol bandwagon really early. Because radio
stations. Yes, because if people were right, Because if people were to
have an honest assessment of the two people on the show, one of us
would definitely be more more grinchful than the other. I wasn't making this about
you and me. I was simply sort of what it sounded like. And
I'm gonna say, if you're going there one of us has been called in
the past several times, it's not so sorry that happened to you, E
or Hayes. No, I'm not. I'm pointed. I'm going to disagree
with this, even though I don't share your aspirations for having six trees per
room in your list. And we're dead in the middle of the Hayes family.
Two hundred days of Christmas, Yes, yes, which we celebrated last
night, not with a Christmas Carol, but with Rainbow first Blood. I
mean, it's a Christmas it is is a Christmas tree right there in the
Sheriff's department, right next to the dude from Yes I'm Miami. Look it
up. You just don't turn it off. You don't, Okay, I
again, if that's what you want to do, you do you. This
is NBC reporting this. I'm reporting it because of the absurdity of this,
But I think you should know what you and now you're you know, your
scrooge enthusiast's son are doing. You're hurting the people around you. Have you
ever stopped to think about that? I'm not. I can't hear what you're
saying at the moment. I think I'm like more mic problems. I'm and
I'm busy, and I'm really busy buying another inflatable for my porch. Okay,
well yeah, you have more yard as well. Fill it up.
It's an animatronic. It's all the reindeers. What are they sitting in a
row and they move and they're liking from the trough or whatever. They're like
eating, they're like drinking, and there's this in this sleigh. It's like
a two thousand dollars inflatable. Right, okay, all right, well again
that's for you, right if you want to put that in your yard or
in your house or whatever whatever makes you happy. But NBC would like you
to know that psychologists, as quote in this article by Nicole Specter, whose
parents probably never hugged her, I have found that a lot of people associate
Christmas with very negative memories. Understandable. In fact, Nicole in the article
talks about her own negative Christmas memory. All right, here we go,
she writes in the article, quote my twin brother died when we were nine
years old, just a week before Christmas. Up until then, Christmases were
historically happy times. However, now obviously that tragedy is associated with her memory
and memories formulated as a kid, especially in the you know that real Christmas
e window of like you know five to like ten, you know, the
the real meat of the Christmas insanity. Those memories tend, when revisited,
to be very emotional. And so I'm not going to read the whole article
because it's done, but let me give you the too long didn't read.
So Nicole's point is when you a holes start, you know, in on
the Christmas stuff and you put up lights, or you sing carols, or
you have Christmas music in like a business you go into, or somebody's home.
O, they're cooking away and the excuse me, kitchen. What you
fail to realize is what brings you joy in your selfish early observance triggers emotional
negativity in others. And because of that, it's important that we don't project
our Christmas. They're literally they're literally scrooge as they are, they're literally Scrooge.
To bring this story up, yes again, Boo and Ba humbug you
weirdo. She does not say ba humbug anywhere. Really, Yeah, I
know, and it seems like a missed opportunity there. She also goes on
to point out that, depending on your occupation, Christmas may stir negative thoughts,
as retail workers tend to be more stressed out because obviously it's a very
busy work time, and therefore it's unfair when you project Christmas on them.
I love project acting Christmas. That's great, love that term. But yes,
that's NBC News's take. So Ross is a very very evil person,
all right. So yeah, Ross sweet in this abomination out. So basically,
if you are in any way, shape or form exuding Christmas, right,
so you got you know, maybe you got like a maybe you even
work in a business environment, but your lapel pin is a little Christmas just
that little thing there, that little reminder of the Holidays could trigger some very
negative memories, which, by the way, I don't deny that a lot
of people have hang ups in many cases no fault of their own, that
are associated and you know, whether it is a hardcore Christmas tragedy in the
case of this reporter who's step brother or stepbrother excuse me, twin brother paternal
twins actually died in an accident a week before Christmas. I get it.
And there are what I guess you would consider positive things that have negative memories
for people. But what are you supposed to do because it's not just Christmas.
I could line up any thing, right, It could be Halloween from
a holiday perspective, it could be the beach, and you know when you
go to the beach, you're reminded of when you're your your cousin drowned.
Do you know what I'm saying? But no, NBC is like, now
we're gonna put a whole article together about how mean you're being to other folks.
Yeah, just a couple things from the story. It's the most wonderful
time of the year or the worst, the author rights. I've been keeping
my earbuds in when I go to the supermarket to avoid any wave of holiday
cheer that is surely blaring from the omnipresence speakers. And I'm hardly alone in
my vulnerability to these thunderous tunes when snowmen talk and reindeer flight. All right,
so what are we supposed to do? Because this is going to couple
with another story we have and we have the pendulum on being able to go
through your day and not meet any sort of obstacles or pushback. For that
matter, they just passed a thing up in New York like the Fat People
Bill of Rights. Okay, and we'll get into specifically where I think that
turns into a lawsuit nightmare. But how do you how do you get through
life if everything triggers I'm trying to think of something real tragic that I tend
to be able to separate my thoughts. You know what I'm saying, right,
Because I have memories that surround happy stuff that are not happy memories in
some instance, And I think if we dig deep, we all have a
little bit of that, but you would associate, you would associate with that
with some sort of negative thing. But then we're like, oh, yeah,
that's right. We're adults now and we're going to be able to do
this. So if Ross wants to make his house look like Griswold's and get
more inflatables and watch you know, Christmas movies and talk about it on the
radio, and you would prefer that he keeps all that holiday cheer to himself.
Is that where we're going here because you and again I don't disagree with
you. You dealt with something very traumatic, being a nine year old around
Christmas and having your sibling die got it feel horrible for you, But then
you decided to write a big old article about it, and I just I
don't even I don't know what to do with that, because like, your
only conclusion, your only logical thing here is shaming people into not being openly
what beest of. And look, don't get me wrong, sometimes people who
are in the spirit, depending on my mood that day, can be really
obnoxious, do you know what I'm saying? But not even just in this,
like some days I don't want people interacting with me. Ross you ever
felt like that where you're just like heye, people of course don't talk to
me, Yes, okay, right, but like your conclusion was to probably
not head out into a public venue, go out with friends whatever. You're
just like you know today I'm just not And then that's it. That's how
an adult deals with that. I'm having a day. I'm a very introverted
person, right, but like I'm not gonna like a lot of people would
love to go see what like go to see a football game on a Saturday.
Okay, I don't want to do that because I'm very introverted. But
I'm not going to write an article or a column being like, hey,
this makes you suck, you know, if it brings you to do an
editorial. But if that time you were trampled at a college football game when
you were sick, if it brings you joy, you know, have at
it right, especially if it's joy away from me on days that I don't
want to deal with you. And look, do I want to go into
a place of business and smell the faintest whiff of pumpkin spice? No?
I don't. I especially don't want to go into a situation like at a
beer tap house where valuable tap space is being wasted on pumpkin beer garbage.
And I make little jokes on the radio. But if you want to do
that and they're selling a bunch of that, then whatever? Okay, I
mean this what a can you imagine too? With you know the holiday parties
and you know the ugly Christmas stuff or just the company stuff or whatever.
Like this self righteousness that this author must display when scolding somebody who would dare
ask her to a holiday party, right, Nicole whatever her friggin name is,
right, So like somebody, you know, one of her friends,
like, Hey, this Saturday, Saturday before Christmas, we're having a little
gathering, a little gathering after work. Why don't you come on by,
and then her having to in detail like it's one of these TikTok grants,
explain why it was very insensitive to invite her to a Christmas party, and
then six months from now she's going to be writing articles about how they have
to where is this hold on? Oh? And I put I didn't Maybe
I didn't put in the stack. I saw an article yesterday where this town
in Lake, Norway or whatever nobody nobody talks to each other because whatever.
And so they're spending a bunch of government money to initiate a program to teach
people to say hello to others while they're in public. I only assume it's
a it's a village full of this author but just brutal man, absolutely brutal.
Now, if she had strictly stuck to people who put fake reindeer antlers
on their car windows, one hundred percent in the right and you should be
arrested. But other than that, man if you don't want to go to
a I don't want a Christmas tree because it's me and I think they're a
pain. So like, I don't run around in rage throw Christmas trees that
I encounter in like you go into a business, they got a little Christmas
tree, Like I'm not hauling out to the parking lot screaming how dare you?
This woman's one step away. And it's incredibly sad. All right,
six forty three CaCO Day Radio program, Like I said, we'll do a
little double up in Florida. And the boy is stabbing at the at the
high school. You got a fifteen year old. It was stabbed reportedly by
a younger peer, a fourteen year old at the Southeast Raleigh High School.
And there's video. It's my understanding, even though they don't mention it in
this story. Because I was talking to somebody yesterday that one of the video,
or one of the videos, at least the main one that was live
streamed by a teacher. I'm not understanding that. I can understand why a
teacher may film an altercation because you want to gather evidence, right, but
I don't understand the live stream. And I hope that that is, that's
inaccurate what I was told, But that's what I was told. Had this
very tragic story. You got one student dead, a slightly younger student obviously
they believe to be the stabber, and at least one other student who was
in the hospital with non life threatening stab wounds. Glad to see you're hitting
puberty. Honestly, I don't know. I was talking to Ross off the
air. It's like the We're like, I did nothing useful yesterday except run
around and scream at people wearing those stupid Santa hats. But I don't I
don't know. Might have been me screaming at the TV yesterday roughly between eight
fifteen and eleven some show I was watching. I can't remember what it was,
but it was awful. So I apologize for having to suffer through it.
Okay, but yeah, we got to talk a little about this stabbing
story. It's just, I mean, this is a kind of stuff that
I just tried to process. Like I was in high school, Like I
can't even we had a couple bad fights. But you know why fifteen year
old would sit now I will I will tell you why. According to the
mother of the accused why this may have happened. And I don't know all
the details, but I'll give you what she's putting out and uh yeah,
so uh in fact, let's do that. Let's take a break for six
forty five hang on smart Talk all day ninety four five PTI and the Triad
and one six one FM Talk and the Triangle. All right, good morning,
six fifty two. Went and pretended I had TV for a moment and
then chuck some water. So hopefully that's better to some of our listeners,
tender ears, but AnyWho appreciates you long this morning. Case O Day Radio
program phone number eight eight eight nine three four seven eight seven four. I'm
looking at here, okay, all right, I'll get to it. Everybody
take a chill pill, okay, Uh, but first I I got to
deal with this ross. Uh. You you probably know, but maybe the
audience doesn't know, because there's some parts of my life I I felt uncomfortable
discussing. But I'm gonna I gotta have. I got a big ask here.
So as most of you, you probably don't know this. I spent
several years, roughly a year and a half living in Sicily, not by
choice. There was a thing I'm not going to get into it. In
fact, I actually he why aren't you married? Well? I was.
I was a nice girl there and tragically there was an incident with our with
our vehicle, and it stirs a lot of emotions. So that's when she
un the Bentley right, it blew up. She was just learning to drive.
Did you know this? She she had ever really driven before? What
days did she like to drive on? The specific days? Mondays were good,
that's great, Tuesdays uh huh, thursdays, what happened to Wednesday?
You know, basically days that ended in Why it's very it's very difficult for
me to talk talk about so and so I'm gonna need you to not reference
any movies or anything or you know, pop culture stuff that they have any
of that. And frankly, uh, women drivers very triggering. So it's
in general reminded of that. So we could make sure that we don't run
a foul of any of that, that that would be great. So,
yes, everybody's responsible for everybody's feelings. As one of our emailer put it,
Yeah, so you know, don't have any Christmas stuff, probably don't
want any colors you know, that are associated with it. Probably trees gotta
go, so be very busy carving all that out. But I'm glad that
NBC and CNN. It sounds like this is one of those shared articles.
Very sorry they're dealing with this, very sad, but we thought we'd bring
it to you, all right eight eight eight nine three four seven eight seven
four. Here's something that maybe will weigh heavily on your mind. Sorry,
flipped the wrong story over. I'm gonna get I'm gonna get into, by
the way, the high school stabbing incident here after the top of the hour,
just because it kind of separated from it. So let me let me
throw this in there real quick. I told you that dead Spin, which
is the the moonbattist of Moonbat sports outlets, decided that decided they had a
problem with a young NFL fan. The NFL fan in question. What was
his crime. He's a big Chiefs fan, which arguably should be a crime,
right, but that's another discussion for another day of cheating. And in
this case, he's just really pumped, man, and he's so excited.
He shows up to the Chiefs game, and it's not just jersey. He's
going all out. He's got the headdress, he's got the team colors literally,
you know, slapped on his body, right, he painted his body
the Chiefs colors, and that's really nothing unusual, right. Well, a
dead Spin reporter decided, is that's blackface, right, and how did he
achieve that? Well, the kid's face, as people do with sports teams,
has the quote unquote team colors. Half of his face is one half
of his faces the other. So in this case, it's black and red.
The but the dead Spin reporter used a photo of just the kid's right
side. So the kid is profiled in the photo that was used, and
that's the side that's black. If you were to see him straight on,
and there's you know, there's other photos because he ended up on TV that's
all red and he's wearing Kansas City jersey. He's got the headdress. He's
at the damn game. And yet the folks over at Deadspin decided, we
gotta we gotta, we gotta knock this kid down. Man, we got
to oust him. So reporter over there decided he he was gonna get on
it. The reporter, by the way, his name is Karen Phillips C
A R R O N. So literally his first name is Karen. Now,
I would like to I would like to remind you there's good. Karen's
out there, ross good. Karen's my sister. She's wonderful, wonderful Karen.
This guy not so wonderful. And in fact, if you go back
and look at a social media because people are kind of a giant racist.
So he did a whole piece quote the NFL needs to speak out against cheese
fan in blackface and native headdress. That is literally the headline and then only
shows the kid from the blackface site and not the red and he's like nine.
So yes, garbage humans all around, and we'll get into a little
more of that coming up. But news right around the corner. Hang on,
all right, good morning everybody, and welcome. The kid is our
number two here on the case O Day radio program. All right, A
little sip him the water there, and he had freshly lubed for our number
two, which is I guess a horrible way to put that. All right,
I'm sorry. I was looking at some of the people who were tweeting
back at this stupid dead Spinner reporter who decided to use a profile shot of
a kid who obviously is sporting team colors on his face half black, half
red with just the black side and accusing what appears to be a third grader
of blackface. That the NFL needs to address this guy's tweets is this dude,
let's just say he's carrying a lot of anger and not a big fan
of white people. Not a big fan. So you get some little white
kid just trying to enjoy his football and obviously it defends his his senses,
and he's got a you know, he tweets on a lot of sports stuff
because he writes for what his quasi sports thing, and the main gist of
his other tweets is sports is only a distraction for white people and not others.
So for everyone claiming, hey, I just want my distraction from everything
else, that in and of itself is white privilege, because apparently, if
you are black or Hispanic or whatever, when you see sports, all you
think about is struggle and subjugation and all of that. And don't get me
wrong, there are stories that associate with sports. Right an athlete on your
team does something, it's a little scandal whatever, and you may have negative
thoughts about like if you're a Panther's fan and you think of Ray Caruth.
Okay, all right, you can remember his on the field work or the
trunk incident, right, so yeah, But for this guy, anytime he
watches sports, it is horrible memories thoughts per se, which begs the question
why are you in the sports business, dude? Like when the easiest way,
like the crazy Christmas Carol lady, is like, God, we shouldn't
play Christmas music or look like we're enjoying ourselves. What a what a horror
existence? I guess would be the way I'd go about that. If you're
just triggered by everything I can't even imagine. And I've often thought about this
because I when somebody brings something up, if they're making a good point,
Right, should you be forced at work to sing Christmas carols? No?
Should the guy who works you know, in his office who has it on
the radio low volume, make sure it's an iHeart station or streaming on the
iHeartRadio app because of the half second when you pass his office at the workplace.
Should he be banned from doing that? If you're on that team,
man, you're the problem. And then trying to docs a nine year old
with a misleading photo. And this guy he keeps doubling down to people.
Are Karen again his name? Trying to find the one tweet? Well?
Whatever, I read a bunch for the show. The dudesillone. All right,
let me flip back to this this story. A fifteen year old student
fatally stabbed by a fourteen year old classmate. This happened yesterday at a brawl
at Southeast Raleigh High School. A second sixteen year old student in the hospital,
non life threatening stab wound. All right, so there's some quotes here
from Chief Patterson basically saying one victim succumb to his injuries. It's an unfortunate
incident. The teen accused of stabbing two of his peers was arrested. He's
charged with murder, but obviously he's fourteen, so we don't have a name
there. But there's video and at least one of the videos. I'm sure
there's a lot of video, because that's what happens in these situations at school.
But basically, two students are facing off, somebody throws a punch,
pretty standard, and the fight kind of spills into the gym. We know
this because there's again, there's video, and at least one of the videos
I'm told was a teacher live streaming it, and I tried to think about
this, like, I can understand a scenario where a teacher might record something
like this. I also understand why teachers don't want to physically get in the
middle of Melee's right, there's the part where you yourself could get very injured,
like that teacher down in Florida where the kids charged with remember the video
She took his video game away because he's playing video games during class, and
he followed her into the hallway and beat her unconscious and substantially injured her.
And now the kid's in court, and like all the woke people are like
to teach, cture needs to find forgiveness and speak out so that this young
man isn't roped into the criminal justice system. I don't know, if you're
beating your teacher unconscious, maybe it's time for an intervention. So like I
would understand where a teacher might film it, just so you have evidence right
to deal with it. I can't understand why you livestream it though, unless
it was an accident, I don't know. But it's pretty bad and they're
doing a pretty good job of tearing a lot of the video down. But
then people keep reposting it. Now here's where it gets interesting. Even though
the identities of the kids not released. A woman by the name of Cherrelle
McLaughlin, her son is, according the article, the alleged stabber. She
says he was simply defending himself. In fact, she also says she does
not believe he took the knife to school. I guess she drove to school
and they had a good conversation, so by that standard, she assumes that
her kid doesn't have a knife. But basically her argument is, even if
he did have a knife, which he ended up, she thinks that he
may have gotten it from somebody. He was defending himself. And while you
don't have the totality of everything that led up to this, if you watch
the video, I maybe I don't know quote the situation is terrible. I
feel bad for the other family, But my son was fighting for his life.
It wasn't a fair fight. I don't think it should have happened like
that. And if her assertion is correct, we've seen what a group of
students deciding to pick on an individual student can produce. With that story out
of Las Vegas a couple of weeks ago, where you have this kid,
he's not really even involved in the main thing, but he sticks up for
another kid who was literally being bullied by a dozen or so other students,
and what does he get. He gets beat to death. They beat him
to death. And while a handful of the students have been arrested, all
the quotes from their families like that wasn't my kid, even though there's clearly
video. So can I see a scenario where a kid who was quote unquote
defending himself, who may have stabbed another student might not share the full burden
to blame. Absolutely, But I don't know they're doing the investigation, but
it's pretty gruesome. I believe they canceled let's see here yet they close the
school today. But I saw a lot of parents posted on social media about
other incidents at South Southeast High School, and uh, it sounds like an
absolute prison yard reading some of those other stories. Now, I don't know
what the truth on the ground is, but it sounds like it sounds like
a prison yard would be the only way to describe some of the other stuff
I'm reading. So we'll update you as uh more unfold. But man,
reading some of those parents accounts and even a couple of students responding on Facebook
and Twitter to the story is mind blowing. And I don't know. Maybe
it's because I went to high school in Wyoming and every other high school was
basically was it Michelle, what's the over? Michelle Pfeiffer's the teacher and the
the kids are all dangerous minds dangerous because there's like twenty of these movies.
Right, you had the dude who was in Yeah, Bill Burda's whole bit
on it. Yeah, yeah, yeah, well that's the pool bit.
That's a good bit. So, like, I don't know it. Schenectady
was basically school at prison yard. No, it was, and I've talked
about this before. We had stabbings, we had shootings. It was one
of the first schools in the country to have metal detectors put in. Were
terrifying. School was awful, dude, I'm telling And the reason I bring
this up is this is another aspect of the voucher thing, right, because
that's you know, if you look, that's a big deal where states are
actually finally in like Arizona I think was the big first one and others have
followed suit, and obviously here in North Carolina, this is the direction they're
going, but they went in Arizona, they went like universal, right,
So any kid who wants to take advantage of their family, I guess,
can utilize vouchers. Right. So it's it's not just the academic environment,
which we'll touch on with this California story, but also it's everything else that
goes into the high school experience. It's really like, it could be really
hard to learn if all day in the way that a kid stresses about sick
because you remember when you were younger and whatever the problem was, it was
end of the world level. Right, you're young, this is all you
know. And the idea that at any moment people can seize upon you and
bully you and terrify you obviously is very impactful for folks from a learning perspective,
because it's hard to pay attention when your head's on a swivel the whole
time. So, yes, the educational argument's part of this, but also
does that sound like an environment where you can devote all of your attention to
educating yourself? And no, and no high school is going to be perfect,
even a private school, right that Beings said, this is pretty horrific.
All right eight eight eight nine three four seven eight seven four. We'll
do our full gate to our Florida stories. I'll explain the education thing too.
Very interesting what's having to happen in California right now in San Francisco.
But it's interesting, but I don't know that it's unexpected. So we'll get
you the details on that right now. Seven nineteen and we'll be back hanging
out. There's seven twenty five and I we have a little contest this morning
kind of which of the two Florida Man stories is the most amazing. I
will let you be the judge. And if we're going to do that,
of course we got to do it right. Well, hold on Florida then
Florida then is something in the watery erors and that makes you do all that
crazy crap. It's like the state is one be dumb ass trappe. Else
has the Florida Man. It is almost like as the Weird Factor climbs to
find out it have been in Florida every time, Florida then Florida Man.
If anyone can cheer me of you know, you can to mind life be
crazy, but of course but it's not. It's bad crowd crazy as yours.
Nowhere else are you gonna find him? They're so used to it,
they don't find him. Hooray for Florida. Man. All right, let's
uh, let's get story number one and then I'll have to probably get story
number two on the back side of the break. But you don't want to
miss a moment of this first to Tampa Clearwater specifically. You know, sometimes
you're doing stuff and you don't you may not even realize it's illegal. There's
so we have so many laws on the books, and I share that frustration
in many instances where people are trying to do the right thing and there's just
too much or it's too vague or whatever. But I don't know if that's
a valid excuse here. So police say, a self described artiste in Florida
Clearwater was arrested after many many witnesses, including I guess some Sheriff's deputies,
saw around five thirty rush hour, in full view of the motoring public,
at a very busy intersection, forty five year old Rudy Wilcox, who had
to go and so on one of the street corners. At this busy intersection,
there's some roadkill and as you do right, So you got a dead
possum obviously got smoked by a car just laying there. According to uh witnesses,
he dropped, trow, squatted, and proceeded to sand we'll call it
San Francisco ing. Uh, he on on the dead possum, which you
know is a very targeted attack. It's better say did they have be for
something? To what? I'm sure what did they have be for? Someone
like? Hey, you know we you know, was he pissed off at
that specific because it sounds very targeted? All right, we're gonna we're gonna
explore this because we got the artist angle, which I don't know why you
put that in there, unless somebody thinks that's an excuse too. You're right.
I'm also reminded of what's the video game where you can squat on your
opponent's head and bob up and down. Call of duty? Call of duty.
There's a little name for that. No, no, no, There's
so much more here, plus farther Florida story. Don't want to miss your
day Smarter one O six one af M Talk and News Talk ninety FOURPTI more
with Casey starts now. Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy. Sorry
I was just looking to have you the other Florida man story after I'm done
with the marsupial dedicator, so trying to figure out what the handgun was,
and I'm horrified with what I'm reading here, so that in a moment back
to this as Yeah, police in Clearwater, Florida, say, five thirty
in the afternoon rush hour, people doing everything, busy intersection. Not only
did witnesses, but apparently some officers witnessed a forty five year old man who
is he's an artist, okay, standing on one of these street corners at
this busy intersection, five thirty in the afternoon, pants around his ankles,
using a dead possum as his toilet as you do. Apparently that's illegal in
Florida. I wasn't aware that there are prohibitions against defecating on marsupials, but
hey, it's Florida, man, So like, there's probably a lot of
stuff they have laws for they didn't think they would need, and then stuff
happened, and here we are, so while literally being read his rights,
as the police has simply walked over and said, hey, you can't do
that, he denied the allegations, and when told that the officer witnessed it
said well, I don't think you see well and reminded them he was an
artist. I don't know if he's claiming that that was a piece? Is
there? I mean, I admittedly I'm not up on all of the modern
art categories, so I don't know if like, is there a is there
a group of artists that this is their core function? Like Jackson Pollock does
the you know, the spray and the brushes everywhere, and Warhol died his
kind of thematic stuff. I are there a group of artists that this is
there? Because look, there's artists that put Jesus on a crucifix in Urine.
There's artists that tate bananas to walls. So if if you're in is
it just possums? How about other marsupials? H Ross? I don't know
if you're aware. Look, you've never been more comfortable when you're wiping with
a koala? Have you ever tried that? I mean, it's it's h
it's heavenly right, is out Sharman? Yes, you want to get ones
that don't have cyphili I mean, if that's true though, when they just
sell them in the super Mariot like you wouldn't have to advertise that, you
would just go down the aisle and there would be like tons of koalas and
stuff. Yeah, like you know, you know how the animal rights people
get fault. And let's face it, catching your own koala and uh,
watching that little bugger's face when he realizes what's up, uh priceless. But
now you're thinking that maybe he had beef and that this was a boss move,
ye enemy. It seems very like you know, I'm gonna you know,
on your grave, ye sort of thing, right right, right right.
And the grave for a possum hit by a car does happen to be,
you know, an intersection or at least alongside the road, So you
know, the I guess the venue was not determined by him. It was
determined by the possum and his inability to cross roads. So look, I'm
sure police will look into it. Maybe there's more there. And this one,
now, Christopher Void's a really This guy's name is originally from Chicago.
However, he he likes to travel the country, committing crimes in various places,
and according to authorities, they attempted They pulled a vehicle over at two
in the morning he was a passenger. However, he's acting all weird,
right, and eventually they find out he had a warrant and all of that.
So they get him out and they're patting them down and they you know,
they're asking the questions anything that's gonna stick me. Do you have any
weapons or drugs? And he said no. But unfortunately, when they were
in the car, the police saw him with some pills, just random different
pills in a baggie, and you know, generally they're gonna ask about that.
Later determined they were ox. It was an oxy and then some fentanyl.
So yeah, he had initially claimed like his aunt gave him to him
and she's dumb and gave him the wrong pills. But they don't think so.
So they're searching them and he's like, I got no drugs, I
got no weapons. And the pat down didn't yield anything. However, officers
noted that he was clenchy and nervous during the entire time they're transporting him,
and lo and behold, they take him to the prison and they hit him
with a body scanner and let's he's packing in a particular area. According to
authorities, they received, they received or removed a handgun which was more being
used as a cork because of the immense amount of drugs he had shoved in
there prior to inserting the handgun. And as you know, my first question
when seeing one of these stories because famously there was an incident years ago in
the Triangle where a guy had like an old West gunfighter's pistol in there or
no where was it. No, it wasn't a Triangle. Think it might
have been in Goldsborough. And this is why the model of the pistol is
so important. So I'm looking, I'm looking over this and at first they
were talking about a glock twenty one. I have one of those. It's
not the pistol I would least want to put there, but it is a
full size block. Okay, not even one of the compacts. It's a
full sized block. But I'm a little unclear because I think because they were
talking about how he wasn't supposed to possess a weapon because he previously had one
illegally, and I think of the one story that's the weapon they're referring to,
it is. I don't think it was a twenty one, because then
I see a reference to a what is damn it? Bodyguard? Yeah,
you know what the bodyguard is. All right, So the bodyguard is unless
there's another bodyguard that is a Smith and Wesson. It's so that is a
subcompact. It's about five inches long though, and yeah, I think it's
got a crap trigger on it. I never really liked that gun, so
I think maybe that's the one that he went with and not a full size
glock twenty one. So now good to look good to know. I want
to make sure, man, and that's going to be chambered in a forty
five ACP, like I said, I have one, so AnyWho, but
yeah, there you go. Florida. Guy's busy, but dudes originally from
Chicago. Apparently he had I don't know, maybe hit his crime quota and
was doing some vacation there, all right. Eight eight eight nine three four
seven eight seven four. I think I'm gonna go with the Marsupial story.
Find that far more interesting because we don't know the backstory, and that could
be it could be amazing. You know what else is amazing? Racetagic be
in here. Yeah, yeah, you guys played Wednesday and then or excuse
me, Thursday and then somehow you guys don't have to travel anywhere, and
then you get another Thursday game, right, and then a Sunday night game.
So some would say, right, the fix, that the fix is
in. Yeah, and Jerry Jones has compromising photos of the commissioner or something.
I don't know. Sure, I don't know, but sure. Yeah.
Thanksgiving, sir. It was emotional trauma. You had to deal with
kicking the crap out of your opponents. So yo, well, I mean
it was Washington, let's be realistic. I made money, man, I
I hit a parlay with them, so nice appreciation. Yeah for guys.
Yes, and I got mine. I got mine Saturday night. But it
was close. It was close. Yeah, it was good. It was
good. Had got a nephew. I'll call my nephew. He's not really
but the way my family does it, we're all cousins and nephews. And
he didn't go home and he's down at Georgia Military College and he spent Thanksgiving
with us. Then we went to Columbia Saturday Saturday night for Clemson South Carolina
game, which was great and it was good. You know, everybody ate
too much, so we have that, got back and took the recovery day
yesterday. All in all was great. How about yourself? Uh yeah,
no, all was well good. You know, no big, no big
crazy incidents. Ross had Thanksgiving and what were you calling the other one?
Super Thanksgiving? Yeah, we have Super Thanksgiving on Friday. It's just like
Thanksgiving, but we have two of everything, so two big full birds.
We're doing We've been doing it all wrong, man, is what I'm It's
just a thing. Family. Does I feel weird now? Right? Right?
Right now? Yeah? We had It was only like the third time
in twenty seven years I stayed home. I didn't go back to New York
to see my old home, my old light Norton, you know what I
mean. And it was to believe it or not, I actually enjoyed the
ham more than the turkey on Thanksgiving Day. I don't know why this year,
but I was like, why this, Sam's good? So I enjoyed
the ham and the homemade stuffing that I made, which is my grandfather's recipe.
My sister usually makes it when we're home in New York, so I
tried to duplicate that and it was pretty darn good. So okay, yeah,
everything worked out. How nice for you yeah. Weatherwise, I walked
in, I walked in some cold temperatures, especially with that wind. Around
forty eight ish, so somewhere in the upper forties today for most of us.
It'll look nice. There's a little cloud this morning. We'll see more
sun this afternoon, but that wind's gonna make it feel colder. Now.
Air temperatures this morning are basically in the upper twenties to low thirties across the
area. Tomorrow morning you could shave off about eight to twelve degrees. It
is going to be calm and cold tomorrow down near twenty. Many spots are
going to be in the teens. I wouldn't be surprised if for're close to
single digits in the mountains somewhere in some of the colder spots. And then
tomorrow the mid number forties again but less wind. So although tomorrow may be
a degree or two colder in terms of air temperature, in the afternoon,
it may actually feel better because there'll be less wind or in the twenties Tomorrow
night close to sixty Thursday, Friday, Friday night, we may get a
little bit of rain. There may be another round rain Saturday Saturday night,
but temperatures are going to be up near sixti as we get into December on
Friday, and then probably back into the mid sixties the load to mid sixties
over the weekend, so we will get milder, but it does look like
could be on again, off again with the rainfall. We'll see, We'll
see how it goes for the weekend. Still some of the guide in suggesting
maybe a lot of the rain stays south. But right now, got a
couple of days to kind of fine tune that forecast. Okay, all right,
well yeah, you know, well it's December basically, so what are
you gonna do? All right, thank you, sir, appreciate it.
All right, there you go. Raced Agic from the Weather Channel coming up
on the show. If you're the Education Secretary, there's probably a little extra
incentive to be accurate when especially when you're talking about, you know, things
of a historic nature because you're you're in charge of the nation's education. And
much like Jennifer grand Home, the Energy Secretary doesn't seem to know how much
fossil fuels we use as a country, which is troubling. I'm not thinking
Secretary Cordona is up to date. So it will make sense why San Francisco
parents are having to do. Well, I'll tell you what they're having to
do. We get both those stories coming up here on the CaCO Day Radio
program, keeping you connected. This is ninety four or five WPTI and the
Triad and one on six one FM Talk and the Triangle. All right,
good morning, seven point fifty three and oil boy. Not a good look.
I don't care if you're the vice president trying to spell potato. I
still feel if you're the Secretary of Education, you're going to be held to
a little higher standard, especially as it pertains to things that kids may learn
in school. Now. Granted, probably not a lot of kids in the
public school setting getting a lot of Reagan history, at least not positive stuff,
right, So admittedly, I guess maybe your kid won't have to deal
with that. But that's a whole other issue. So Secretary Cardona decided during
a speech that he would pepper his speech with a quote. And look,
if you if you need a quote and you're talking former presidents, Reagan's got
a lot of really good ones, kind of known for that, so he
went for it. H tell me, if anything stands out to you,
you know, we're going to set up follow up calls with every governor we
met with to make sure we're available. As I think it was, President
Reagan said, we're from the government, We're here to help m Is that
what he says? I mean, he did say those words, Andy did
same in that order. That is accurate? Ish true? Well, okay,
it's true, but I feel like maybe we're missing a little context there.
Here's what Reagan actually said, because I don't think that Cardona is helping
his cause. I think you all know that I've always felt the nine most
terrifying words in the English language are I'm from the government and I'm here to
help. See because Reagan, it wasn't about just the assemblage of words.
It was what Reagan was attempting to convey. And so I saw people going,
well, look, you never said a quote and then misquote. And
I can't remember the example they used, but it's one of those quotes where
people are using it in the way it was intended, but they they there's
a word that they I can't remember what it was, but it still meant
the same thing. The way Cardona used it not only was inaccurate in it
was its non wholesomeness right of the totality of it. But it means the
exact damn opposite thing, right, right, So he he used it in
the reverse of the way it was attendant. He didn't just misquote it.
He completely failed to understand what Reagan was trying to convey, and that was
get a bunch of government people. The more you get, the more they
screw things up. It's very simple, and he's the Education secretary. But
and you ask, well, how do we get here? One, obviously
the dude has gives two craps about Reagan. But also you look to see
what's happening in San Francisco. So if if you don't know, in California,
ballad initiatives are a big thing, right, you'd be at the state
level. You can do it locally. They love they love ballad initiatives,
and yes, we get a few here, but so many things in California
are left to a ballot initiative for a couple of reasons. One, lawmakers
wanted to avoid an issue can avoid it right because it's a valid initiative.
And two, if they don't like how it goes, as they have done
in many instances with same sex, healthcare stuff, in a variety of other
issues. They don't like it, they just go get a friendly judge to
throw the whole damn thing out, like they did with our voter id here
in North Carolina. So in San Francisco they have a ballot initiative that would
force the public school system to teach high school level math. To repeat that,
they are having to take the issue to voters and attempt to get under
penalty of law, a requirement that San Francisco public schools will return algebra,
pre algebra and a few others to their class offerings and even require perhaps a
math credit because, believe it or not, in San Francisco they got rid
of the math after middle school and even in middle school, so you don't
do middle school or high school no math requirements because it was quote not recognizing
on the promise of equity and basically was making them look like their schools suck
because as none of the kids could do math, then they were being tested
on it. So they just got rid of it and lo and behold made
their year to year progress look pretty good. But now the parents are literally
having to in this case get a legal document requiring that schools actually teach math.
That's how far we've come. And that's how you get a Cardona as
your education secretary. All right, good morning, everybody, got welcome you
Acoda Radio program. Thank you for hanging out with us on this Tuesday morning.
And we've covered Idio of Florida. People. We got a Disney story
because what the hell a stabbing One student dead at a high school in Wake
County and their video is brigging everywhere and that's just horrible. And the mom
the kid arrested is claiming it was self defense, and the whole thing is
that's It's tough, man, especially when you see the video there. And
I'm just trying to figure out, like why a teacher would be live streaming
it if in fact that is what happened. So I've I've I've heard a
couple people I've had I've had some people mention that to me who are on
the law enforcement side of things. So boggles my mind, man. And
also the education secretary who not only got misquoted uh former President Reagan, but
actually completely missed the point of the quote. So yeah, busy morning around
here, but lots to get to and let's just dive into this. Uh
yeah, here we go bouncing back and forth. There have you seen k
FER trending? I saw it. I did see it trending, but it's
not currently trending. So there's a reason kfi R not. It's not a
West Coast radio station, but rather it's the first name of a ten month
old Kafer the Bass who along with his four year old brother Ariel, So
again ten months old. Kafer is ten months old, along with his four
year old brother Ariel and their mom, we're among those taken hostage by Hamas
on the October seventh, and we're among those said to be released with the
groups that have been released over the last few days, except the only people
released according to the reports is mom and the four year old, but not
the ten month old. And according to the report, the mom said that
during their captivity, Hamas quote traded the ten month old to the Popular Front
for the Liberation of Palestine, which is a it's another group of a terrorist.
It's a terrorist. We recognize it as a terrorist group just as we
do HAMAS. So one terrorist organization traded a ten month old to another,
and then Hamas is like, we're sorry, but we don't have them.
We can't release him, so they don't have the ten month old. And
obviously if your mom, they're freaking out and you have been freaking out,
you know, for two months only to get get released, and they traded
your ten month old like he's a farm team pitcher. Like how don't even
I don't know know how that works? Like why would in what planet would
the currency need to be babies? Ten month old babies? Like there's a
there's there's pieces in this reporting. I like, I don't understand the motivation,
just just the part where this is what mom's saying and this is what
officials in Israel are saying. So and then can you trade back for the
baby? And then what do you trade for a bit? I don't even
know. And frankly, look, I'm lazy. I'm not trading for a
baby. They're noisy, You got to clean up after them. I think
they want food sometimes I'm not one hundred percent sure, but that's that's what
they say happened here. So some are speculating that some are speculating that there's
a lot more horrible backstory here, which obviously I'm sure your imagination can get
there. I don't know, but what a crazy story. That story and
the Indian miners, which I didn't hear anything about this story, and I
thought maybe because we're on vacation, but this precedes vacation ross did you know
that? Like twenty Indians and I guess they're described as construction guys, but
they were building a tunnel. This is way up in the northern part of
India, so you're up in the Himalayas at this point. A tunnel four,
a mining operation but whatever. They're basically dug into the side of a
mountain and there was a collapse and they got trapped in there. Did you
hear anything about it. I've heard absolutely nothing about that, and no idea
like because if they're Chilean, that's all you hear, right, Oh,
look at the Chilean. But that's not why the story is crazy. So
there's seventeen of them. They rescued them yesterday. Great, got them out
of there. As you can imagine, that pretty horrible experience. I guess
for most of it they were able to be able to get some supplies to
them, but now they're out. That's not why I'm bringing you the story,
just to bring it up to speed. I'm reading the story and they're
talking. You know, there's quotes in the story from like family members and
others you know, are happy that their loved ones are back. But there's
one that stands out, and that is a woman could plain. I mean
that some of the workers, after being rescued went back to work, and
it doesn't sound like it was necessarily their choice, which I guess right,
because now if you're the guy, you know, if you're the guy who's
getting the you know, building the tunnel or doing the mining, obviously you
have an issue with cave in rocks now in your way, so you need
you need some people in there. But I'm just like, on what planet
are you emerging from two weeks in practical sheer darkness. I don't know if
they had lanterns or candles or anything. You know, your eyes can't even
they can't even deal with the smallest sliver of sunlight, and your a whole
boss is standing there with a pickaxe and spinning you around. Because let me
tell you what, Let's say hypothetically, not that any of our construction or
equipment is less than one hundred percent, but let's say hypothetically, ross uh
the entrance to your studio collapsed. Okay, it collapsed, big crashy noise,
some structural deficiency, who the hell knows, and now you're trapped in
the studio and we can't get to you for two weeks on the day that
we release you. You're not engineering a show, right, Let's just you're
not. I don't know, man. I mean my work ethic is it's
pretty I thinkable. So I wouldn't want to miss a day. Really,
I was same day that you were trapped on it. Really, it would
depend on the prep stack, so you would put it in your pocket to
be able to use it if a situation arose where you're like, I need
to get out of jail free cards basically. And also, I mean,
if we're being honest, it comes down if if there's somebody that can fill
in for me, because I could see them being like, hey, dude,
I'm sorry. You know, we know you're really sick, and you're
you went through the whole crisis there and you were right right. Unfortunately,
you know Kyle can't fill in, so you do nod, yeah, or
maybe i'd have to work from home. Yeah, I would prefer not to
work though. Now admittedly you you like that would be a great story to
tell on the radio, but maybe not same day. But yeah, now
I read that part and I'm like, it's just just the audacity, right,
Oh yeah, yeah, that tunnel you were chiseling through. Uh so
let's get back in their sport. Look, obviously you're very familiar with,
you know, the layout of the tunnel. I mean I haven't been able
to like, yeah, I know where everything you ever had that boss who's
trying to find the upside. Look, you're gonna be very familiar with where
all the rubble is. Why don't you get back in there? Yeah no,
but uh yeah they came out okay, uh but who knows sending them
back in what sounds like maybe an ocean nightmare of a tunnel. Maybe not
the best thing. All right, I've been teasing this Disney story. Let's
get to it. So if you remember a couple of weeks ago, we
were sharing this horrible story of workers at Disney seeing this huge uptick in people
who are deciding, you know what, I'm not leaving line to go to
the bathroom. I'm going to go right here, And so people are have
no soul. I guess are just dropping trow you know, waiting in line
or in some cases on actual rides. They in the article they were talking
or they had a book. They were quoting a book from some former Disney
employees saying like, you know, people like would hang over the side of
the It's a Small World boat and go because again they don't want to leave
the lines, because the lines are you know what an hour ninety minutes,
and this is what people just a fight. So I don't look, I
don't know if the two things are connected, but I do know that this
is a thing. Oh my gosh, idiot from about kids. All right,
Well again, I feel like idiot is not a strong enough description.
According to police, an adult male guest at Disneyland so this is California,
was arrested Sunday after while on the It's a Small World ride, he departed
the ride, was standing in the water and took his pants off and boom,
right there, yeah he was. He was naked running around the uh
It's a Small World ride in front of everyone and may have taken hallucinogenics.
So that's a theme this week. We had a story yesterday with that,
which I you know, I guess what was what was yesterday's where the hallucinogenics
there's some chick or too, and I remember thinking that was the worst scenario
for taking a hallucinogens. This one, I guess wouldn't be as bad because
you know, those rides have lights and sounds and it's a it's a you
know, a sensory experience. I don't know though, I mean, like
if the animatronics, if you're like, you know, you're tripping and you're
seeing them come to life, sort of like that Freddy's movie, You're at
the animatronics, right, terrifying? Yeah, yeah, and that song over
and over and over again. Right. No, I didn't say it was
going to be a good trip, but I would understand how, Like there's
a reason that people watch Fantasia, right, And it's not because they're a
big fan of nineteen forties Disney movies. Right. They throw the Fantasion because
they took some hallucinogen h and they smoked a bunch of pot or whatever.
Like that's the thing. I get that, And that's probably not what Disney
was going for. But whatever, I think nineteen forty is when I came
out. Oh, I had forgotten too I ros. Do you remember when
they decided they were going to do a second fantase? I had forgotten about
that piece of crap, and they did like an update of one in two
thousand and The only reason I remember it was on the Disney app the other
day and I panned over it and started to play the trailer for it,
and it's like, it's it's all the worst gimmicky a computer graphics and whatever
was hot back in two thousand and like part of it's hosted by Petted Teller,
which I did not remember any of this, and it's only like an
hour and it was just the saddest thing. And I don't remember watching that,
but I could understand why Hallucia Jakes biggo with that. The problem is
here, you're with everybody. You're not in the comfort of your own home
with the TV and the shades drawn. You're naked, running around doing a
variety of things, yelling, at one case, accosting one of the animatronics.
I don't know if he was smitten. And by the way, let
me let me run us through this filter. How many animatronics you think are
on that right? How many? Ridiculous? Yeah? Easy, can't he
just have one, right, Why do these people have to be so selfish
that they're somehow in charge of all of the animatronics. But apparently this guy
is has found one that you know, I want to spend a little quality
time with sands pants and these people are filming and screaming idiot at him.
In another video, prior to I guess removing his shorts, you can see
him literally rubbing one of the animatronics as you hear this woman in the background
pleading with him to stop heavy petting the animatronics. And then the pants come
off, and well there you go, uh Disney, let's see. Yeah,
And eventually trying to get this dude to stop was not easy. Plus
nobody wants to deal with naked dude. Then they're they're documenting some other incidents.
So yeah, if you could not do that, here's the other thing,
and this is this is more on the ego side. Do you want
an episode of your public nudity and insane drug adult behavior? Do you want
to be associated with a ride called It's a Small World? Do you know
what I'm saying right just right now? You want like space Mountain? I
want I want you know, yeah, yeah, I want something that sounds
not like it's a small world, right, like something like Thunder Railroad.
Yes, oh see that sounds big thunder Yeah, big thunder right, Like
that's the name. You don't want to be there. It's a small world
guy, So I like, obviously that didn't occur to him. That's what
he went with. What's the other one I'm thinking of that they just changed
what's the log flume one that they just changed Thunder Mountain, right, Yeah,
it was Splash Mountain and they changed that princess and the froggy thing.
Yeah, So even in that sense, you may have done it, want
to do it initially or not? And even what's your lame right, people
mover right, there's a there's a sorry what was that? You mean the
greatest ride ever? Yeah? Yeah, yeah, that's what I meant.
But like even that would from a moniker standpoint, would be fine. You
know, people mover right. There's there's double and tanda there, but it's
there's nothing to work there. So like, but that's why I think that
maybe he's just this one animatronic he was just really down with, So don't
do that. According to the article in October, Disney Disney ran into an
incident as well, as a guest was arrested for jumping feet first into the
World Showcase lagoon at Epcot. Apparently you're not supposed to swim in that or
something. I don't know, but yeah, but they don't say anything about
the defecation incidents in this article, so maybe they missed that part of it.
But yeah, please don't be pantiless. And it's a small world.
Feeling up an animatronic? Aren't all animatronics like kids too? Or they adult
animatronics. I just know you could go to the Hall of President's Now what
I'm saying if you don't want to get busted, I mean, certain rides
are more popular than others, right, So I mean, if you're if
you're like this dude and he looks like an emaciated version of San bankin freed
on Acid naked and it's a small world. We sent the link out at
Casey in the radio and X it's called now, I mean that's what the
dude looks like, right, yeah, and pasting and completely naked. I'm
saying, if you're looking for a place where you might be able to get
away with it, maybe the whole president's is there? Now, do you
hone in on the Hillary excuse me, the Trump one? Or do you
go I mean, now, it just depending on your you know, your
preference, your political preference. Like, but I'm asking you, like,
if there was one animatronic president that you could grind on, do you have
a favorite? I mean, which do you go for? Do you?
I mean like a maybe? I mean maybe Washington would be what dude,
I'm just saying, Look, you're gonna end up being the news, you
might as well. You might as well make the story reflect as positively as
possible if that's you know, possible in this instance, got to go taft.
All right, ponder that. We'll be back. Thank you. Casey
is a ninety four f w PTI in the triad and one six one f
M talk in the triangle. All right, well, uh this is this
is awful. So I was just looking at this little I'm gonna retweet this
now it's a little snippet from thank you. There's a few. Let me
just retweet this and then you can read down in it. Do do do
do? All right? Repost there we go. So, uh, who's
it like Tom Hollins involved in this? Good Lord. All right, So,
uh, Julius Caesar movie, Julius Caesar the Making of a Dictator,
right, okay, and uh oh, how one man's ambitious power grab turned
to tyranny. And so the crux of it is this Julius Caesar. Uh
apparently he was also kind of gay, but not all the time or something.
I don't know, but that was important to get in there. And
uh they paint the picture as where he's like a cross between Trump and Hitler,
and it seems pretty intentional because they're going on about you know, power
grabs and comparisons. Its quasi documentary, quasi movie. But by the way,
and like he just he just felt like subjugating people. So he you
know, instilled himself in power and you know, just terrorized everyone's life.
Does do you know why Julius Caesar ended up in power? Does anybody I
know? Okay? So the Roman uh, the Roman Empire at the time
was absolutely it's it was one of its lowest points for the prosperity of their
citizenry. It had devolved into this kleptocratic, oligarch driven system, right where
instead of just one tyrannical dictator, you have these very very rich, rich
elements, you know, maybe one hundred or so people who all were their
own little mini dictators, and it caused quality of life for Roman citizens at
the time to reach what was among its lowest points because they you know,
basically feasted upon all of them. And many of these folks were in the
Senate. Some of them were Caesar's friends, but the good majority were not,
because he was openly responding to the public being fed up with these guys
and the way that they did things. And you know, the taxis that
would just be independently levied on people by any of a number of you know,
one hundred some people. So he was a response to that. And
I'm not saying that, you know, he was a good dude in all
aspects of what he does. He did, but remember, the very same
people that he was critical of and that the people were sick of are the
same dudes who murdered him. So and that is seemingly lost. So I
guess we're going to rewrite the Julius Caesar history. But what they should be
doing is a caligular one, but just on the orgy boats, and not
orgy boat three. Maybe a little on two, but mostly I think you
want to do most of the shooting on one or in some ross or would
you want to see like maybe a small segment where they did go to orgy
boat three just to kind of gocket you know the No, you've got to
hold the third boat to like the director's cut. Oh that's good, but
you know special DVD stuff, Yeah, deep down there, So go ahead
and do that. But much like the Education secretary, I think that I
think y'all are missing a big part of the Caesar story, at least from
what I can see here. And I also understand why you would draw these
comparisons. And if you're gonna go down that road, then maybe, just
maybe with your little talking heads, you should also recognize the situation as it
as it was at the time of his ascendants to leadership. There so and
then the part where you know it would be it would be more accurate if
because you're gonna make the Trump comparisons if at the end of his four year
term, Adam Schiff came out and stabbed Trump to death. Okay, like,
let's just be a little more accurate here. But I'm not surprised because
is what they do, all right, eight eight, eight nine three four
seven eight seven four because they're not Look, they're not doing anything over there
in Washington's particularly productive. How do I know all you got to do is
turn into one of the uh one of the White House press briefings. I've
still yet to see that woman pushed on a question she didn't want to answer,
that she either didn't just completely ignore and walk away or give what is
a totally non satisfactory answer and then have no follow up from other members of
the media from you know, whatever the question was Deucey asked. But then
there's April Ryan and she was a she was probably the number two spar with
Trump, and she had a question for Jean Pierre yesterday, and I'm still
trying to figure out what it is. I had an in depth conversation with
Stevie Wonder last night. Okay, all right, that's cool. I'd love
to have a conversation with Stevie Wonder. I am a big fan of Stevie
Wonder. Man. I love the look on somebody's face too when they hear
a Stevie Wonder. There's probably three three big songs that if you were if
you were born after about nineteen eighty, you may believe that those songs are
merely newer pop hits or hip hop pits right because they were incorporated into the
song Pastime Paradise, Gangster's Paradise, and even the Red Hot Chili Peppers got
one of their big early hits was a Stevie Wonder song that they redid.
So all right, So, April Ryan, she just wants you to know
she's friends with Stevie Wonder. That's great. What's your question? I love
Stevie Wonder again for the serious question. I had ended up conversation with Stevie
Wonder last night who was asking the question a meeting with the president. He's
very concerned about the black agenda falling along the wayside and issues like laws of
fifty years ago that are now being abolished or gutted, to include issues like
the voting rights. At what happened in Arkansas last week firmative action, Supreme
courts were said a ban on books. What's the question been brought up issues
of the CONGO and the lack of information from the White House. Is the
White House amenable to sitting down with Stevie Wonder, who has met with presidents
throughout history, to include Ronald Reagan. He was one of the major impetus
for getting the holiday for doctor Martin Luther King Jr. And also he was
one of those who worked with President Obama and his efforts to become president.
Is this president amenable to meeting with Stevie Wonder? Who has these concerns?
Why did Stevie Wonder call the White Like? Also, and again I got
my beef is not with Stevie Wonder? Again I'm a fan. How can
you not put on Master Blaster and not be instantly having a better time,
great song? Okay, that being said, what the hell is Stevie Wonder
gonna do in there? What? I guess? I guess maybe it would
be more comfortable because like Stevie Wonder won't see Joe Biden trying to sniff I
like I don't. I don't understand what and why is April Ryan in there?
Other than it sounds like to brag that she's buddies with Stevie Wonder.
The whole thing is weird, man, And you know all of this is
going on while you have everything still gone on in Israel. Russia just decided
they're going to keep that. Wall Street Journal reporter another two months because in
in prison. And remember he was among those who was discussed at the time
we were trading the Lord of War for an NBAWNBA player, So maybe those
would have been a good use of everyone's time. But yeah, those things
they're just painful to watch. Just never want to do it, all right?
Eight forty five? Oh and real quick, well let me do this.
Actually, let's get raised agic. I'll do that story. In the
last segment. We got Rick Flair beef I gotta tell you about. But
that's another thing. Somebody's beefing with Rick Flair. Man. Oh, yeah,
that sounds like trouble. Yeah, you know it is. It's a
radio Do you know Paul fine Bomb does sports radio out of Burue. Yeah.
Yeah, hates hates the Clemson Tigers. Yeah, is that the same
one. Yeah, he hates a lot of things. He's met. Yeah,
he's met at Rick Flair over Michigan because Flair is a Michigan fan.
And the whole sign stealing through the place stealing thing, and say, I'm
going on the radio and just and threw the gauntlet down, and I think
now we're gonna have to get him in an octagon or something. So well,
speaking of Michigan, Yeah, if the Iowa Hawk guys can score a
point, maybe that defense. I got to check that game out. I'm
very intrigued by that game this weekend. But anyway, speaking of Michigan,
but that one did catch my attention anyway, And there's talk of rain in
the South for the upcoming weekend. Been hearing some chatter from people like previously
mentioned on the sports networks about rain for the ACC Championship in Charlotte. I'll
just say this, there's at least right now with chance, but some of
the guide in suggesting that most of the rain showers should be south, So
some time to work on that forecast. Uh. The SEC champions indoors and
I don't know what are they doing the Big Ten Championships, even though I
don't I think it's an indoor stadium that anyway, remember, Yeah, so
either way that ACC, they may be affected by rain on Saturday, So
we'll keeping eye on that for everyone. Other than that, it's cold and
even colder by tomorrow morning. We could have some twenties and teens around like
near twenty degrees tomorrow morning. So if you think today's frigid with the gusty
breeze, mid upper forties. Tonight it's going to be near twenty with teens
around Tomorrow in the mid forties, but less of a breeze, so they
actually feel better, although air temperature wise it might be the same or a
degree or too colder. And then tomorrow night we're still in the twenties,
but probably the mid and upper twenties. And then we wrap up the month
on Thursday with sunshine, mid upper fifties, more like it for this time
of year. And we got a battle rain possible Friday afternoon and Friday night,
and maybe another chance of some rain Saturday afternoon and the Saturday night and
Sunday. Does look like we'll get into a wetter weather pattern or at least
chances of it as we get into the weekend. Casey now, acc chat,
Now that's what Clemson? And who no, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Oh Florida time hey eight out of nine, So there's there's hope.
There's hope Florida state in Louisville in case anyone cares, So yeah, anyway
cares about it? All right, thank you sir. Tomorrow we go on
get Jeff Bellinger's next hang on one six one FM, Talk in the Triangle
and News Talk ninety four FPTI and the Triad. Sorry, Good morning eight
to fifty three or Bloomberg Update with Jeff Bellinger, Jeff, what's happening well,
Cime Morning, Casey. Stocks pulled back a little bit yesterday and the
futures have been lower all morning now, futures down twenty one points at the
moment. Reports on home prices and consumer confidence will be out this morning.
Earnings reports from Hewlett Packard Enterprise and Intott will get attention after the market's close.
Consumers who went online to search for cyber Monday bargains had spent about eight
point three billion dollars as of six pm Eastern time yesterday. That's according to
Adobe Analytics. Researchers think as much as four billion dollars more came in before
the sales wrapped up for the day. We still haven't gotten any final numbers.
It's not been easy to find anything that's getting cheaper. But drivers are
a bit of a break at the gas pump. Retail gasoline prices have fallen
now for sixty days in a row, the longest downward struck at stretch in
more than a year. There is a side to the nation's housing crisis that
gets less attention than the availability of housing. That is, the quality of
housing. The Census Bureau says more than a third of US apartments or sixty
years old or older, and the Harvard Joint Center for Housing Studies says the
median age of an American home is forty three years in Casey, it's deja
vu for Red Lobster. The seafood restaurant chain says its ultimate endless shrimp promotion
was largely to blame forty eleven million dollar loss in the latest quarter. The
company has since hiked the price of the shrimp deal by five dollars to twenty
five dollars. It was twenty years ago that Red Lobster was pushed to near
bankruptcy for after an all you can eat snow crab promotion that led to an
executive being fired. Casey, anything about breadsticks, unlimited breadsticks? He's causing
financial ruin for other us. No. Not that olive garden is in the
pretty solid shape. I would say, okay, all right, because you
know that's where our concern lies. Well, thank you very much, appreciate
it. Okay, have a good take. Care. All right, there
you go. Jeff Ellinger from Bloomberg News. All right, a couple of
things. First, If you don't know who Paul Finebaum is, he's a
sports talk host, radio host, but syndicating does a lot of TV work
too, But he's not he's definitely, uh, he's better talking sports than
playing it. Right. He doesn't have an NFL physique. I guess neither
do I for that matter, but he really doesn't. That means said he's
really mad at Rick Flair, and it's over what's going on with Michigan and
Flair. If you don't know a big Michigan fan, and you know obviously
the the whole NCAA and how they're dealing with Michigan for perhaps stealing plays and
that whole thing. But I'm not gonna talk about that, just that fine
Baum's really irritated with Rick Flair and he went off on him. He was
actually on somebody else's radio show. And I want to see this match a
Sperry the long build up. But Rick Flair, you know, let's be
honest, is done. I Mean, the guy used to be at the
epicenter of his sport and now he's in his seventies and washed up and basically
scraping for dollars. But it just seems like Rick Flair is trying to make
a name for himself off of this contrary. He's trying to stay relevant.
He's trying to stay in that fifteen minutes of relevancy. And it's it's sad.
We all watch our heroes get older and fade away and grass, you
know, show up at pro ams and and do things that they normally wouldn't
do, appear on you know, social security advertisements at three am in the
morning. Unfortunately, that's Rick Flair right now, right, So he's a
he's I have a question, though, did Rick Flair ever really slide into
irrelevancy? I understand that he's not, you know, in the in the
most premier shape of his life because he's seventy, right, And but fine
Bomb's upset and I think he's upset because I think Rick Flair could take him
today. Do you know what I'm saying? Ross, You saw you've dubbed
in the audio looking at Paul fine Bomb, who do you think wins Rick
Flair? Paul Finebab You've got to take Flair. I think it's got to
take him. He can still take a bump in the ring. Man,
that's that's a lot of damage in your body. Was he was he he
just did something not that long ago, right, he wanted to make another
comeback, and people were like, oh man, he might die in the
ring. But he did release a video of him training and he was just
clothes lines and against the ropes. And there's also the technique, you know,
but you know he's still he may not be able to execute it the
same way he could when he was twenty six, right, but you don't
lose, you know, some of that stuff. I don't think fine bombs
training even on you know, Corey choreographed wrestling, whereas it's gonna you know,
it's just muscle memory for Rick Flair. But I want, I for
one, we want to watch it. And maybe that's what this is about.
They're trying to build up and then they'll announce something which I tune in
just twisted enough for me. All right, there you go Tuesday in ze
books. But as you can tell from the news cycle, it's a crazy
week. So I'm sure that will continue and we'll be here for you,
right and early tomorrow morning. Join us. Then here on the CaCO Day radio program
